Text Chapter 741 Tumbling Tumbling Tumbleweeds

The wind blew all night, and at dawn, Xiao Peng lifted the tent cloth that covered him, and looked around with his head bared like a groundhog.

"How the hell is going to go. Xiao Peng sighed.

Emilia squeezed and squeezed and squeezed and showed her little head: "Oops, stabbed me to death." ”

Xiao Peng pressed Emilia's head and pressed her back into the tent. "Don't make a fuss! It's all thorns, and it still hurts to pierce people. ”

Emilia was honest: "Xiao Peng, what the hell is this!"

Xiao Peng was speechless: "I said this is hay, that's not to tease you, this is called Russian thorny sapon, people are used to calling it tumbleweed, haven't you seen a western? There are often such scenes in westerns, when the wind blows and a ball of grass blows, that's this thing! A very common plant in the Gobi Desert." It's also the most troublesome invasive species in your Stars and Stripes!That's why I said that this is the vanguard of the Bear Country's invasion of the Stars and Stripes, but although this thing was introduced from the Bear Country, it is actually rare in the Bear Country. ”

"I've heard the name Tumbleweed?, along with cacti and rattlesnakes, and it's the name of the Eagle Nation movie!" "There is also the song "Tumbling Tumbling Tumbleweed" by Audrey, and there are many books about this kind of grass, and many people use tumbleweed to describe their love of wandering and freedom, to persevere like a tumbleweed, to transcend restraint at any time, and to surpass themselves in the face of difficulties! ”

Xiao Peng sighed: "The people who write these articles have never seen tumbleweeds." Who would dare to say in front of the people of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Stars and Stripes that tumbleweeds are a good thing? The economic losses caused by this tumbleweed in the Stars and Stripes are billions of dollars every year!"

Emilia asked, "Is it that scary?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said: "Every time this tumbleweed arrives in the dry season, it will collect its roots from the soil, roll them together and roll with the wind, and scatter the seeds while rolling, and their own vitality is extremely strong, and when they encounter the right environment, they will take root and send out new branches again, sprout new shoots and grow again." People who live in the city think that tumbleweeds are very romantic, but if you live here and open the door in the morning and find that you can't get out, and the door is blocked by spiky tumbleweeds, then will you still like this grass? And this grass itself has toxins, and if cattle and sheep eat a lot of them, it can cause fatal diseases! But you don't have to worry about it now, the poison will disappear when the tumbleweed dries up. It's fine now. ”

Emilia was puzzled and asked, "If it's so terrible, why don't you take care of it?"

Xiao Peng said helplessly: "How to deal with it? In the past, people used fire to deal with tumbleweeds, but now agricultural burning is no longer allowed in most areas, and you don't dare to smoke if you don't see me? For fear of causing a chain fire if you are not careful! The current treatment method can only be processed into grass powder to increase fertilizer on the land, but this project is too big. The government of the Stars and Stripes is now investing heavily in the research and development of a virus that is specifically effective against tumbleweeds, but it is too difficult, and when they find out, I am afraid that the entire Stars and Stripes will be covered by tumbleweeds. Now that the tumbleweed has spread far faster than any known weed in the Star-Spangled Nation, this grass hardly wastes time growing leaves, but uses its strength to nurture seeds, and it is a disaster to spread wherever it goes. After speaking, Xiao Peng stuck his head out and looked at it again: "Vake, we are really unlucky." ”

Tumbleweeds are characterized by the fact that they run wherever the wind blows, and many pests will also hitchhike and pollute the environment with tumbleweeds. Unless he is stopped, he will keep rolling down, and eventually form a big hayball the size of a car! Xiao Peng is now trapped here by a pile of tumbleweeds. He said he was unlucky because on the other side of the road, there was a windbreak about two kilometers long, which stopped the windweeds that were blowing in the wind. That's why Xiao Peng will be trapped in the middle of the tumbleweeds.

If he was driving a car, Xiao Peng could run over the tumbleweeds directly, although the tumbleweeds were full of spikes and not small in size, but the weight was not heavy and not strong, so he could drive the car and rush over directly. But he's riding a motorcycle now, and if he really wants to rush through the middle, those spikes will be enough for him to drink two pots, and even if he can bear it, what will Emilia do?

Alas, Emilia couldn't count on it, Xiao Peng got out of the tent and directly began to pack up the tumbleweeds, to clear a way out for himself, which made Xiao Peng, who was tied in tumbleweeds, one by one, and his clothes were torn a lot.

Emilia wanted to help, but Xiao Peng still let her go back to stay, she couldn't stand this tumbleweed, so don't let Emilia come out with her.

Emilia stretched out her little head: "Xiao Peng, since this tumbleweed is so terrifying, should it be widely distributed?

Xiao Peng replied as he worked: "Of course." ”

Emilia heard this: "Then you are like here, is the danger of tumbleweeds so great?"

Xiao Peng shook his head while cleaning up the tumbleweeds.

Emilia was puzzled: "Then how do you deal with this kind of disaster in Huaxia, and why doesn't the government of the Stars and Stripes introduce this kind of governance?"

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Well, you can't learn the way we Chinese people govern, in our Huaxia, this tumbleweed was almost strangled into the cradle before it could roll." ”

Emilia was very interested when she heard this: "Then how do you Huaxia people deal with this tumbleweed?"

Xiao Peng laughed out loud: "It's very simple, this tumbleweed has another name in our Huaxia, it's called pig-hairy cabbage! Listen, it's a vegetable! What does that mean? You can eat it! In our Huaxia, this pig-hairy cabbage is first of all a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has a very good effect on treating high blood pressure, and the dried whole grass can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, and the young stems and leaves are also good quality feed, animals can eat it, why can't people eat it China?

"But!" Emilia asked, "As you said earlier, if cattle and sheep eat this in large quantities, it may cause fatal diseases." ”

Xiao Peng said: "I'm talking about a large amount of young stems and leaves of this pig-hairy cabbage to feed livestock in small amounts, and the effect is still very good." At least they love to eat. So in China, this thing really can't form a catastrophe, people eat it when the medicine runs out, and people eat it after eating livestock, and you can always find its value. How can he still be allowed to roll into a ball and run around? Tumbleweeds like this can be directly used in medicine. ”

Emilia was puzzled: "Then why doesn't the Stars and Stripes adopt this method?"

Xiao Peng said: "Who let the Stars and Stripes not recognize Chinese medicine? To think that we Chinese people can cure diseases when they get sick like this and eat some flowers and plants is pure deceptive witchcraft, according to me, it can only be regarded as the ignorance of the Stars and Stripes Country!"

Emilia asked, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "You only believe in yourself and don't believe in others, this also has something to do with the founding of your country, I can say this, there is a history of using herbal medicines all over the world! But you don't believe in the curative effect of herbal medicines, I can't understand what you think, the history of mankind is so long, how long is the history of Western medicine? Could it be that people used to die when they got sick?"

Emilia listened to Xiao Peng's words, felt speechless, and after thinking about it, Emilia replied, "That's because Western medicine is more scientific, right?"

"Hahaha. Xiao Peng seemed to have heard a huge joke: "Western medicine? Then you must not know how Western medicine treats diseases! The earliest Western medicine only had two skills, one was enema, the other was bloodletting, as long as a patient found the head, first enema, enema could not be cured? Then bloodletting, at that time, bloodletting was a barber shop, which barber shop could bleed, just hang a red ribbon at the door, the wind blows and turns, this is why so many barber shops have the origin of rotating light boxes at the door now. That means to say, "Come, I'll bleed you here!"

"And Western medicine doesn't use natural animals and plants? No, quinine, vincristine, morphine, atropine, artemisinin, etc., are all extracted from plants, you can use it yourself, and it is unscientific for others to use it?" Xiao Peng sneered: " Wagner won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for saying that fever could cure syphilis, and there was a time when countless Western doctors used electric shocks to treat mental illness, and there was another Nobel laureate, Antonio Egas-Monis, whose invention of the anterior lobotomy has created tens of thousands of patients around the world who have been unable to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives, including your former President John F. Kennedy's sister Rose-Marie Kennedy, and others who died because of the operation, including your Oscar-winning actor Warner Baxter. There are so many more of them, do I want to tell them all? Miss Amilia, that's what you call science. ”

"But you can't deny that Western medicine is the most acceptable medicine in the world! Emilia argued.

"Of course. This is the power of capital. Xiao Peng said lightly: "In the whole world, those pharmaceutical groups will always be the richest people. And as long as you have money, you can find someone anywhere to speak for you, in our Huaxia, now many people stand up against Chinese medicine, and the reason for this situation is that a few people who have received money are rhythmic, a group of people follow the spread, and finally a group of people who don't know why follow to join in the fun. ”

Emilia was confused: "What does this capital have to do with it?"

"What's the matter?
