Chapter 389: Dragon?
"Actually, it's not the bear that's scary, it's us......" He Zilong looked at the bear's figure in the distance, and suddenly sighed inexplicably and blurted out.
"Zilong-kun, what are you talking about......" Sakura asked in her sleep in a daze.
"It's nothing, oh, by the way, what do you ......think about bear bile in medicine?" He Zilong replied quickly, but after thinking about it again, he didn't expect Sakura to answer anything. But Sakura seemed to know a little better, rubbed her eyelids, thought for a few seconds, and answered.
"When I was in college, I heard my tutor say that there are many substitutes for bear bile, and the effect is similar, I don't know why you Chinese so fascinated by some animals and medicine, and some precious medicinal materials are so superstitious......" Sakura asked puzzled.
He Zilong: "Alas, you should still sleep, I just ask casually, you will sleep well in a while, change my ......"
"Oh, okay......" Sakura closed her eyes again.
changed the topic, not because of the change of shifts, but in fact, He Zilong felt a little blushing and couldn't go down. He couldn't explain why the Chinese were particularly superstitious about the role of precious herbs and liked to use some animals in medicine.
Because, it's all an IQ tax. You can't say that these Chinese are a little stupid, right?
Taking bear bile as an example, traditional Chinese medicine records that bear bile is mainly used to treat eye redness, swelling and sore throat caused by liver fire, and there are actually as many as 54 kinds of herbs that can achieve the same effect, and the price is cheaper. In fact, instead of reducing the hunting of wild bears, many of the bears on the bear farm are still caught from the wild, it has stimulated the market for wild bear bile and bile.
How many people can a bear kill in his lifetime? It may not kill a single human in a lifetime. But a hunter, a poacher may be able to kill dozens of bears, or even hundreds of bears, in his lifetime, which is more terrifying?
There are eight species of bears in the world threatened by human hunting, and seven of them are threatened by the bear bile trade. Bear fur, gallbladder, paws, and other body parts are sold to traditional Chinese medicine and game food markets. The demand for bear bile has contributed to the rapid development of bear farming in China since the 80s of the 20th century.
Every year, more than 7,000 Asiatic black bears are brutally tortured in more than 400 bear farms around the world. They are kept in iron cages so small that they can't turn over, they are implanted with catheters in extremely unhygienic primitive methods, bile is taken every day, and the wounds in their abdomen are never stitched up.
Most of the bears have been imprisoned since childhood, some for 13 years, and they are physically and mentally disabled. Due to poor surgical techniques and years of confinement, bears on the bear farm can only live 1/3 of their normal lifespan at most.
People don't feel anything when they live like this, but when they die, these things go to the underworld, but they will be condemned and go to the eighteen layers of hell.
Because of one of the iron bars of the underworld, you can kill other animals in order not to starve to death, in order to survive. But if it's not for this reason, but indiscriminate killing, or even just killing for the sake of liking, that's the crime of killing, and you have to deduct yin virtue.
People like this, when they go down to the underworld, they are determined that it will be difficult to be a human being in the next life, and they may be reincarnated as bears in the next life when they kill bears, and those who kill snakes will also be snakes in their next life, and they will suffer by themselves with the fruits they plant.
This is reincarnation!
As for the high-priced medicinal materials that have been hyped up, in terms of value, they are actually not worth any money.
But why doesn't anyone say what they really think?
In fact, the reason is very simple, take He Zilong himself before he was reborn as an example. His old father once spent a lot of money on some kind of so-called precious medicinal tonic for him. After He Zilong found out, he knew that it was not worth the money.
However, he was reluctant to throw it away, and even had the idea of "if you don't eat it, maybe it will have some effect".
The reason for this is that it is difficult for people to admit that they are actually failures. I care too much about the sunk cost, for example, I think that my money can't be spent in vain, and after eating, I have to look for all kinds of clues to prove that it is "effective", otherwise so much money will be spent in vain, and I can't accept it psychologically.
It is difficult for people to admit that they are wrong, especially if they are deficient in IQ.
That's why the emperor's new clothes appeared, and he knew that it was wrong, but he still pretended not to know, emphasized that it was not wrong, and continued to run all the way on the wrong road until he couldn't even complain.

The sun rose soon the next day.
People hanging on top of the sleeping bag can feel the glare of the sun for the first time, after all, the height of the southeast branch is high enough.
When you come out, be careful, because one who is not careful may have an oolong incident and fall from a tree. That's a joke!
"Ah, there's a snake ......" In one of the sleeping bags, a male team member suddenly screamed. It turned out that there was a green leaf snake lying on a branch, but he didn't see it because of the protective color. One missed, he fell from a tree, and then, fortunately, he grabbed the pocket of his sleeping bag before he finally fell. In this way, the height is reduced by half, only about four or five meters.
And then there is grass below, and if you fall into the grass from a height of four or five meters, of course, you can't die.
I didn't expect to say an accident, and the accident appeared, He Zilong was quite speechless.
Compared to the big target bear, snakes and insects that can go up the tree are really unguardable, which is one of the reasons why everyone does not sleep directly in the tree, but in the sleeping bag.
The male player who fell down had his leg broken, which is not a good sign. It is also impossible to leave him, and it is also unrealistic to let one of them carry him on his back. This will exhaust both of you!
As a last resort, I had to make a simple stretcher, let him sleep on it, two people carried it, and then let one person take a weapon and guard the road. I have to say, why do some commanders on the battlefield prefer to kill a soldier rather than have an extra wounded soldier in the ranks?
The reason is very realistic, but not humane. Just like He Zilong's current situation in the team!
If you die a person, just one dies, affecting one combat effectiveness. But hurting someone, you are the standard of a person, and you can't ignore the injured person. But in order to take care of the injured man, as well as the defensive task, only two or three people had to be assigned to the past, plus the wounded, before returning to the hospital, it would only affect the loss of three or four combat power in the team.
If there are more wounded, let alone winning the battle, it will be a problem to be able to retreat safely on your side.
He Zilong's team naturally does not have the problem of fighting, but with the wounded, he can't be left behind. The speed of the team's progress was naturally greatly affected, and as a last resort, He Zilong discussed it with everyone.
Let the others follow slowly, he, Xiaomin, and Sakura took their weapons and went to the seaside plane accident site to take a look. If there is a danger that is inconvenient to come, you can also issue a warning and ask the people behind to not come.
There are few people, they are also mobile and can be dealt with flexibly.
When everyone heard He Zilong's plan, they thought about it, so they nodded in agreement.
