Chapter 31: Toon

Three hours later, Tong Chen finally came to Xiangyang Forest Park in Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang Forest Park is a more famous tourist attraction in Xiangyang City, it is mainly a park with a large area of natural forest and artificial forest as the main body of construction, according to legend, here is still the guerrilla area of the Red Army, the guerrillas often come and go, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, here is also completely abandoned, until in recent years, the local government, relying on the history and culture of the Red Army to build a cultural appreciation, sightseeing, mountaineering and fitness, suburban flower appreciation, leisure and entertainment and other functions of the tourist attractions.

Tong Chen arrived at the designated mission area at the end of the countdown to the start of the mission in advance.

With a flash of thought, he opened the personal information.

Seeing that his weight had risen a little again, Tong Chen felt a little comforted in his heart, after all, he was going to be hungry again, and it was always good to have more fat reserves, what he was most concerned about was the improvement of his skill proficiency, compared with last time, his cooking proficiency had increased by one percent, and his fire proficiency had increased by two percent.

Tong Chen's face immediately darkened, he rested for a month, he learned several new dishes, and he practiced more than once or twice to make a fire, and it took so much hard work to improve so much, Tong Chen wanted to cry without tears.

As before, Tong Chen hid the old clothes he was wearing, and then changed into his exclusive summer jacket full of joy, the top and pants were just right, as if they were tailored.

Tong Chen looked at the forest vegetation in front of him, all kinds of trees are much sparse compared to the wild boar ridge, the slope peaks are scattered, and there are many valleys and ravines, which are in stark contrast to the lush dense forests, pavilions, and flowers in the scenic area, which are completely two extremes.

Tong Chen's heart was cold, he thought he was here to enjoy happiness, but he didn't expect to suffer from it.

Tourists in the scenic area tour the mountains and rivers, chat and taste tea, but in the depths of the wilderness, they have to be hungry and worried.

Alas, there are really no such good things in the world.

With the previous basic experience of survival in the wild, Tong Chen came to a new survival location again, and his heart was reduced a lot of dazed and anxious, and he calmed down at the first time.

Tong Chen did not look for food for the first time, but began to look for the wood needed to make a fire, seeing that the time was already in October, and the weather was getting colder and colder, heating was obviously the top priority.

Tong Chen couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, fortunately, when he started his first mission in August, the temperature was warmer than his feet, if he only got the system at this time, then he really might not even be able to carry the first mission.

At this moment, Tong Chen already has a complete set of high-tech clothes, and he has more confidence in the next challenges.

Tong Chen collected it in a circle, and his heart became more and more bored, the environment here is obviously different from the environment of Wild Boar Ridge, there are a lot fewer thorns and shrubs, and Tong Chen has not seen one of the edible wild fruits, and there are not many dead trees, so making a fire has become a big problem.

Tong Chen had no choice but to continue to expand the scope of the collection, and it was not until the evening that he found a small pile of matches, but Tong Chen never dreamed that at this time, the sky would also open and fall lightly.

To make matters worse, Tong Chen's mood became more and more depressed, he was going to make a fire after collecting wood, but now it seems that he doesn't need to, what is even more disappointing is that Tong Chen didn't even build a shelter, if he didn't collect wood at the beginning but built a shelter, maybe there was already a shelter to hide from the rain at this time.

It can be seen that survival choices in the wilderness are important.

Fortunately, Tong Chen was not completely disappointed, because he was wearing an exclusive jacket, which was very waterproof, just like a raincoat, the rain did not penetrate at all, and the jacket also came with a hood, and the tip of the hat was designed to be extended a lot, if it was not windy, most of the rain would not drip on the face.

What makes Tong Chen even more satisfied is that the coat and pants can also be connected together, completely eliminating the possibility of rain infiltration, but the waterproof effect of the shoes may be slightly worse, because there are some miniature ventilation holes on its side and back, even so, some light rain dripping down from top to bottom will not get wet, as long as Tong Chen does not die and soak the shoes in water.

But Tong Chen didn't want to spend the first night in the rain, so he found a slanted low-necked pine tree, and then draped some branches over the trunk so that there was something above his head to keep out the rain.

On the first night, Tong Chen barely spent the night under simple shelter, but fortunately he was protected by clothes, and he was confused for an hour or two.

What made Tong Chen distressed was that the next day, the light rain still kept falling, and he wanted to wait for the rain to stop to build a shelter, although the light rain could not affect the construction of the shelter, but Tong Chen did not like to work in a wet environment very much.

After thinking about it for a long time, he was going to explore his surroundings and see if he could find food or water by the way, but he hadn't eaten a drop of food for two or three meals.

The more Tong Chen looked at it, the more upset he became, and he missed the conditions of Wild Boar Ridge more and more.

"Hey, this is a toon tree?", Tong Chen was suddenly pleasantly surprised to see a plant that he was familiar with.

Because this kind of Tsubaki tree is also common in their village, people will pick and eat it when they see it, but what makes Tong Chen more depressed is that this kind of Tsubaki tree is divided into two kinds, one is toon, and the other is stinky toon.

Stinky Tsubaki, as its name suggests, pinnate compound leaves have a peculiar smell, it is a deciduous tree, the bark is gray to gray-black, also known as Tsubaki tree and wood tree.

Tong Chen only knows that this kind of stinky tree can not be eaten, and it doesn't seem to have any effect, in fact, although it is not a daily edible food, it is a medicinal material, and the bark, root bark, and fruit can be used as medicine, which has the effect of clearing heat and dampness, astringency and stopping dysentery.

Toon, also known as toon buds, incense pile heads, red toon trees, etc., is a relatively good ingredient.

Tsubaki sprouts are rich in nutrients and have a therapeutic effect, mainly for the treatment of external cold, rheumatism, stomach pain, dysentery, etc.

What is the therapeutic effect of food, Tong Chen doesn't care about it now, what he cares about is as long as he can fill his stomach.

Tong Chen distinguishes toons and stinky toons, and there is only one way, and that is to smell the smell of leaves.

Toon leaves have a faint fragrance, while toon is the opposite.

In fact, Tong Chen doesn't know that there are many ways to distinguish between the two, one of which is that the two kinds of leaves are different, the stinky toon is an odd number of pinnate compound leaves, and the toon is generally an even number of pinnate compound leaves.

Second, the trunk is different, the surface of the trunk of the toon tree is relatively smooth and does not crack, while the trunk of the toon tree is often peeled off in strips.

Third, the fruits that grow are not the same, the fruit of the stinky toon is the wing fruit, and the toon fruit is the capsule.

Finally, the vascular bundles are different (bundle knots composed of xylem and tenacity), and if you look closely at the leaf scars, there are 9 vascular bundles in A. sinensis and 5 in Toon.
