Chapter 432: Honey Extraction
Canghai, Wen Yiyi and Ping'an were all with their heads held high, looking up at a cliff in front of them at an angle of seventy-five degrees, and from time to time they could see the three of them squirming in their Adam's apples, and with this wriggling sound, they made a slight gurgling sound of saliva.
I can't help but be greedy, I originally heard those boys talk about wild honey, and the three of them thought it was a beehive or something, but they didn't expect to come and take a look, only to find that it was not a hive at all, it was just a honey field!?
The cliff is concave, almost three or four meters from the top of the cliff mouth.
That is, the place with the largest arc, there is a gray-yellow honeycomb, the whole honeycomb is almost composed of more than two hundred small beehives, each honeycomb is semicircular, the largest is the size of a small desktop, the smallest is also the size of a basin, the thickness is estimated from the perspective of several people in Canghai is almost more than ten centimeters, and the thickest one is almost twenty centimeters.
The whole hive is like a large gray-gold fungus growing on the trunk of a tree.
It's morning, and the sun is just enough to hit the hive, and through the off-white nest skin, you can see that the enticing golden honey inside takes on a perfect liquid gold.
Wen Yi swallowed his saliva: "I regret it a little, I didn't let you bring the iron head!"
Canghai didn't look at Wen Yi, stared at the beehive and swallowed his saliva: "It's useless to bring it, you didn't look at these bees, this guy is going to sting someone, I'm afraid that if he runs slowly, his life will be gone, the iron head is also a name, do you really think it has such an iron head!"
The beehive is tempting, but the bees here are also scary, the head is twice the size of a normal bee, Canghai now sees that the largest one is almost as thick as his own fingers, and the thorns on the tail are a centimeter long.
"What now?" asked Wen Yi.
Canghai said: "The group of students taught by Old Man Shang are not authentic goods, no wonder let us come over to see, dare they have no way at all! If there is a way, they will not call us over!"
"Don't talk about these useless things now, hurry up and find a way, how do you say that you have to get a piece back this time, my daughter-in-law is pregnant now, I heard that royal jelly or something is better......" Wen Yiyi said.
Canghai turned his head to look at Wen Yiyi: "Why don't you go up and slide down from the top of the shore and take a stick and stab you?"
Wen Yiyi: "You are letting me die, where can I tie a rope on this bare top, and besides, even if I tie a rope, how long a stick do I have to take to stab the beehive!"
"Why don't we throw a stone at it?" said Ping'an, who thought he was smart.
Canghai took a look at the beehive above his head, almost fifteen meters above the ground, throwing stones at such a height to smash the beehive down, Canghai felt that he didn't have the ability, unless there was a powerful strongman, he could send a weight enough to knock the beehive off the cliff.
"Your suggestion is quite demanding, we don't have the ability to do it!" Wen Yi said.
Ping'an asked, "Then what should I do, we can't watch so much honey here, right?"
Canghai looked around, and his eyes fell on the big tree closest to the cliff, this tree is relatively thick, almost two people hugging, and the trunk is relatively straight, although it is not fifteen meters, but if you can reach the top of the treetops, you can be sure to throw things into the hive on the cliff.
"When you climb that tree, you have to find something that is big, but not too heavy and not too light, so that you can smash the beehive on the cliff by standing on the tree," Canghai said.
"Who's going up the tree?" Wen Yi asked the question.
Canghai turned his head and took a look, and found that he had put himself in this bad idea, Wen Yiyi's goods would definitely not be able to climb trees, and the five big and three thick goods might sink into the water, and he climbed the tree like an overfat big bear.
Peace is not suitable, this kid is not bright, once he gets excited, there is a problem at a height of more than ten meters, Canghai really has no way to explain to Hu Shijie.
So after all the calculations, he is more suitable for doing this thing.
After thinking about it, Canghai said: "Let's go, go back to the camp!"
Wen Yi asked, "What are you doing back to the camp?"
Canghai said: "You won't let me dress like this to knock on the beehive, even if the beehive knocks it down, I will have braids, go back to the camp and get a hood and cover my head, so that the bees won't be able to sting me!
Wen Yi scratched his head when he heard this, and asked a little puzzled: "You actually brought this here?" Could it be that you are a half-immortal and know that we will encounter a wild beehive this time?"
Canghai said: "Half of your big head, your guy is just swinging his neck to show his height, of course I don't have any foresight, I mean to replace it with something else!"
"What's that?"
"Fish cage, I brought two fish cages, one is for fish, and the other is for shrimp, and the one for shrimp can be used for one use," Canghai said.
Wen Yi gave a thumbs up to Canghai: "The idea of bringing shrimp pots is not bad!"
Canghai didn't want to be with Liwen anymore, and took the lead directly towards the camp.
The camp is not far from here, it takes about ten minutes to walk, and it takes twenty minutes to go back and forth, and Canghai bag shrimp cage and a big red plastic box back to the bottom of the cliff.
The shrimp pot is naturally for Canghai's head, as for the red plastic box used to be used to hold vegetables, but now that the vegetables are gone, it is also good to use them to hold honey.
"What are you smashing?"
Now a new problem is in front of the three of them, stones? There is no stone here, although the loess layer is thick and thin, the shallowest loess layer here must be more than ten meters, where there will be stones on the surface, let alone stones, even the soil is rare, the largest mud is almost one-third the size of the palm, and throwing it on the hive is not much is to tickle the hive.
The three of them were worried about it, and suddenly the tiger head stood up, and put on a vigilant posture in one direction, Canghai and the other three took a look, and found that a huge black head was coming out of the woods, and after seeing Canghai and the people, he suddenly shrank back and hid behind a tree.
It's just that the body of this product is very fat, and the tree selected is not big enough, and the entire tree pole is the thickness of a basin, how can it cover its fat body of hundreds of pounds.
So the current situation is that the head of the fat bear is hidden behind a tree, but a big belly and most of the body are exposed.
"What stupid!"
Ping An said with a smile at the place where the bear was hiding.
The bear seemed to hear Ping'an's ridicule, and after sticking out his head to look at Ping'an, he immediately shrank his head behind the tree.
In less than a minute, the bear couldn't help it a little, stretched out his head again, and looked at the sea with his bean eyes.
Seeing that Canghai and the others were not interested in taking care of it at all, they carefully stretched out their heads, looked at Canghai and the people curiously, and saw that Canghai and the people were all looking at the beehive, and the bear seemed to be relieved, so he slowly moved his big ass and walked out from behind the tree.
They didn't dare to get too close to the Canghai people, so they raised their heads and drooled at the beehive on the cliff like Canghai at a distance of about thirty meters from them.
The bear's halazi is much more spectacular than the sea, and after looking at it for less than two minutes, the bear's mouth is like hanging with two small waterfalls, and the grass in front of the bear is wet, which is quite obscene.
After looking at it for a while, another bear came, this bear was much smaller than the first bear, but the first bear did not drive away the next bear, but the two bears sat side by side, and at the same time looked up at the hive on the top of the cliff and drooled.
It didn't take long for there to be about five or six gatherings on the shore, and no matter how big or small, it was now a virtue, that is, to sit with your head held high, and drool at the hive overhead.
"What should I do?" Wen Yiyi was not afraid of the presence of bears nearby, but asked what Canghai was going to throw at the hive.
Wen Yi was not afraid, and Ping An was naturally not afraid, as for Canghai, he was not afraid of the beasts living under the control of the Tree of Life at all.
"What should I do, get some branches, make a simple boomerang!" Canghai thought about it now, and then came up with a feasible idea.
Now that the idea was there, Wen Yi was peaceful and there was no better idea, so everyone got busy, climbed up and down and chose a branch of the right weight, cut off the leaves and branches on the branch, and then stripped off the bark, repaired the dart body with a camping machete, and roughly wore it with a rope and hung it on Canghai's back.
When he came to the tree, Canghai took off his shoes directly, tied the shoelaces, hung them around his neck, grabbed the tree pole with his own hands, and then climbed up the tree pole with both feet.
At the beginning, because I hadn't climbed a tree for more than ten years, I was a little rusty, but after climbing five or six meters, I felt that I was back, and then I climbed more smoothly, and the more I went up, the thinner the tree pole became, and the sea was more handy to climb up.
It took a few minutes for Canghai to climb to a position close to the treetops, and if he went up, Canghai felt that the branches might not be able to support his weight, in line with the principle of safety first, so he didn't climb to the top, but chose a place with a stronger vision and rode on the branches.
When Canghai was climbing trees, not only Wen Yiyi and Ping'an were looking at Canghai, but a bunch of saliva bears were also looking at Canghai and climbing trees. There were some bears with a slightly smaller body, probably thinking that Canghai's level of climbing trees was not very good, so they ran over and climbed the trees behind Canghai, but they only moved in the middle of the branches, and did not approach Canghai.
Canghai had already put on his shoes at this time, and took off the shrimp cage with fine yarn, buckled it on his head, and tied the bottom rope as well, although it was a little neck-tiding, but in addition to being stung and uncomfortable, Canghai wisely chose to be uncomfortable.
After making all the preparations, Canghai picked the first dart in his hand and gestured towards the nearest hive.
Feeling that it was almost over, Canghai grabbed the tree pole with one hand and threw the boomerang out with the other.
The boomerang with all its strength was very fast, turning into a white disc and smashing towards the hive.
The middle is the hit, but unfortunately the hit is not the place, the whole boomerang directly hit the strongest place at the bottom of the hive, so the hive only shook twice, stirred up a swarm of bees, and did not fall.
Even so, because the walls of the nest were very thin, some honey juice was hung on the boomerang, and as soon as the dart fell to the ground, several bears began to fight in order to grab the dart.
The beating of the bears did not last long, for the huge bees had already attacked them, and each of them now shrunk into a ball, covered their faces with their large claws, and hid their buttocks.
From Canghai's point of view, there seemed to be a few more plush black balls of different sizes on the ground.
Seeing that the bee did not come to find him, Canghai immediately took off the second boomerang, gestured twice, and immediately threw out the dart in his hand.
At this moment, Canghai's luck came, and the boomerang just swept to a hive next to the hive that Canghai was aiming at, and directly swept down half of this hive.
I saw that half of the hive was directly separated from the main body of the hive, and fell down with a snap of everyone's eyes.
Whether it was Ping'an or Wenyi, or the black bears all noticed the falling beehive, but everyone maintained a certain composure and did not go up to grab it as soon as possible.
Because the hive was accompanied by a large black bee that was startled. It's like a bunch of small fighter jets.
