Chapter 375: A Gift from Heaven
The mountain road after the rainstorm is really difficult to walk, where there is grass is all water, and where there is no grass is all mud. Feng Tiance led the group and walked towards the jungle southwest of the stone castle one foot at a foot deep.
Four big hounds with a dozen shepherds opened the way in front, and the weather was hot and humid, and the speed of movement was much slower than usual.
"Boss, look, there's a forest musk deer over there......"
Walking into the edge of the jungle, Mu En's eyes were good, and he pointed to the distance and whispered. Sure enough, looking in the direction he pointed, there were several forest musk deer eating over there.
"These forest musk deer are all stocked by us, Mu En, are you still planning to catch a few to eat?" After the rain, Feng Tiance's mood also improved, and he still had time to joke at this time. "Everyone walked slowly, and the hounds went to the woods to catch the rabbits. When we go deeper, you should dig the trap of the trap, and the trap of the trap. Catch as many rabbits as you can. ”
Not too far into the jungle, Feng Tiance asked everyone to stop. The villagers who live near the Cardamom Mountains are almost all qualified hunters, and catching a few rabbits is still a piece of cake.
Abin took the villagers to start their work, and Feng Tiance checked around, but found no trace of poisonous snakes or other fierce beasts.
He estimated that at this point in time, the leopard python in the jungle probably wouldn't come out, so he didn't have to worry too much.
"Muen, you are responsible for leading everyone to catch rabbits, I'll go to the front and have a look. ”
Feng Tiance remembered that there should be a small banana tree not far away, and he didn't know if it was wild or planted by someone before. Bananas are the least valuable of tropical fruits, especially in Cambodia, where banana trees can be found everywhere in the fields.
"Okay, then you be careful alone, don't go too far. ”
Mu En knew Feng Tiance's ability, don't look at the people as outsiders, if you talk about the skills in the jungle, they are not comparable to these natives.
Feng Tiance answered, and walked into the depths of the jungle.
The main reason why he is interested in bananas is because they can be used as food to satisfy his hunger. In the tropics, many people eat roasted bananas as a staple food.
"I didn't walk to protect the base, and at this rate, I wouldn't be able to walk for five days. ”
The jungle was hot and humid, slippery under my feet, and I couldn't walk far and my body was soaked with sweat. Feng Tiance walked for less than an hour before stopping to rest, if it was usual, he would not be so tired after walking for three hours in a row.
I don't know if I remembered the wrong direction, but he never saw the small banana grove. It's also very aggrieved to say, if it's convenient to bring things out of the space, the hundred or so people in the stone castle won't go hungry for a year.
Looking around, Feng Tiance was a little hesitant to continue walking. At this moment, a few fruits suddenly fell from a big tree against his back...... The slamming sound of slamming on the ground really startled him when he was thinking about something.
If you look closely, you can see that the oval-shaped fruit that fell on the ground was the size of a small leather ball and dark green in color. When he looked up, he found that the trunk of the tree, which was about ten meters high, was covered with this fruit.
"Hey, I'm also a demon, and I'm just looking for a banana tree, but I've forgotten about this good thing. ”
Feng Tiance grinned and patted his forehead. He suddenly remembered a famous tree, which was the kind of tree in front of him, the bread tree.
The bread tree grows in the tropics and is widely distributed in the Pacific Islands, Malay Archipelago and the Southeast Peninsula. The fruit produced by this tree is rich in starch. It is baked and eaten, and it tastes like bread.
The bread tree is the famous "granary of the tree......
Feng Tiance immediately came to his senses, he searched carefully in the vicinity and found more than a dozen bread trees.
However, he also found several venomous snakes in the area, and even a king cobra among them. But fortunately, these snakes must have been released from space, and they were not hostile to him, so he drove them all deeper into the jungle.
Many venomous snakes feed on their own kind, and those released from space are often more ferocious. Therefore, in the jungle near the stone fort, there are basically only Feng Tiance's "descendants" left.
After clearing up, he saw that there was nothing in the way, so he returned the way he came, ready to call for someone to come and pick the fruit of the bread tree.
"Boss, boss! Look, we've caught more than fifty rabbits. I really didn't expect that there would be so many hares in this area. ”
Seeing Feng Tiance walking back, whether it was Mu En or Abin, they all rushed over excitedly and shouted. Because as long as the food problem is solved, everyone on the mountain can wait for the arrival of rescuers without worrying about their own safety.
As for the fact that the village has been completely destroyed, that is later. As long as people live, everything is easy to say.
"Hey, you've caught so much in such a short period of time? Muen, you two wait for the water to recede, then hurry home and see, if there is anything you need help with. ”
Feng Tiance encouraged these people more at this time, after all, the village was seriously affected this time. Especially since Mu En and Abin's home is not here, I don't know if they are worried.
"Boss, you're worried...... However, both of our villages are far away from the Bodhisattva River, so the disaster should not be serious. We were able to catch so many rabbits, thanks to these hounds and sheepdogs, most of which came from them. ”
Mu En and Abin were a little moved when they heard this. However, the conditions do not allow it now, and there is no way to go home for the time being.
Feng Tiance smiled, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said, "I found more than a dozen bread trees in front of me......
He doesn't know what the bread tree is called in Cambodian, but can only explain it in general terms. However, Mu En and the others are all jungle veterans, so they will understand it as soon as they hear it.
Why don't Cambodians starve to death while lying down...... Blessed with unique natural conditions and abundant products, the aborigines here almost never worry about food.
"Boss, I'll take a few people over with you to have a look. Abin led the people to send the rabbit back to the stone castle first, and then asked him to call more people to come over, and take advantage of the good weather to pick as many fruits as he could. ”
The specific things were assigned by Mu En, and Feng Tiance took people under the bread tree, so he had nothing to do.
The reason why he didn't leave immediately was that he was worried that there would be poisonous snakes and beasts in the jungle, and with him, the danger would be greatly reduced.
When Mu En sent someone to pick up Abin and the others, Feng Tiance saw that the number of people who came to pick fruits was at least fifty or sixty.
It is good to have a large number of people, and it is efficient...... At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the stone castle with today's full harvest.
"Boss, a total of fifty-three rabbits were caught today, and nearly two thousand fruits were picked back. ”
What is the concept of the fruit of two thousand bread trees? For now, these fruits alone can keep everyone in the stone castle alive for seven or ten days.
"Well, at least we don't have to go hungry! I estimate that the rescuers will arrive in the next two days, and the flood will recede quickly, so everyone can wait in peace." Elder Qiao Village, you let everyone come out more activities, don't be bored in the house. ”
If the weather is fine, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, everyone should try to stay outdoors as much as possible. After all, the focus is on preventing infectious diseases after a disaster, so the hygiene management of the stone castle is also very strict.
Before dark, Feng Tiance went to see it himself. The floodwaters below the mountain have begun to recede, but it will take a few days to get down.
"Feng, how is the situation over there, is there enough food?"
In the evening, Yelena called and briefly inquired about the situation on the stone castle. Feng Tiance didn't talk nonsense, focusing on today's harvest. Then he hung up very quickly.
There is no way, the power supply has not been restored, and it is troublesome to charge the satellite phone.
Actually, he had a diesel generator in the space, but that was with the irrigation system. He didn't have a full power distribution in the space.
"Let's go back and buy a generator and put it in the stone fort, it's still necessary to use it as a backup. Also, I need to buy two satellite phones myself. I heard that the Beidou satellite phone has begun to serve Asian countries, but I wonder if it can be used in Cambodia?"
Feng Tiance sat on the roof of the building, feeding the two Ze Eagles casually, and all kinds of thoughts kept flashing in his mind.
