Chapter 57: The Great Explorer
After half a day's work, Tian Xiaxia's learning effect is not bad, of course, the main thing is that I am a good teacher and take the trouble to explain repeatedly.
In the end, I said to Tian Xiaxia: "That's it, tomorrow I will go into the mountains to see the bow set, you will also go into the mountains with me and Kexin, let's go to the field to learn about it, and understand the growth environment of these drugs face to face, so that when you need to use it urgently in the future, you will be familiar with the road, so that you will not be blind, and you will look for it all over the mountains." ”
Wait until the next morning, after breakfast, I first explained some work to Su Wu, Li Ling and others.
I said, "This season is the time for bamboo to shoot. Yesterday when I came back from the mountains, when I passed by the bamboo forest, I went up to take a look and found that a lot of new bamboo shoots had grown. You leave someone to watch the camp, call Zhao Chong Mawang together, go over and pick some back." ”
"You should have all eaten bamboo shoots, can you peel them, you can't wait for me to come back, you just need to pick as many as you can and come back." We dry it and make it into bamboo shoots, which can be stored for a long time. ”
Finally, I was afraid that the women would not be able to move the two men, so I went to them myself and told them to work with them.
Since we are in the same collective and interdependent, there is no reason to be an idler and let others serve.
I told them one more sentence to let them pay attention to safety when they enter the bamboo forest, mainly to pay attention to snakes, the bamboo forest is very fond of hiding this kind of thing, especially bamboo leaves, this thing is still very difficult to find, when found, it is basically close to the face of the person.
Then I took Kexin and Tian Xiaxia into the mountain together.
Tian Xiaxia was originally wearing a uniform skirt that covered her hips, this kind of clothing, showing her two thighs, although she was beautiful, but it was not practical, if you walked on the mountain road, it was easy to be thorned by grass or something, and scratched your feet.
During the days when we went to sea, we happened to meet a few horsetail palms, so we picked some brown silk and made it into two brown clothes, which happened to be put on for her to enter the mountain.
It's just that it looks a bit nondescript, with a blue uniform on the upper body and brown silk pants on the lower body, half like a modern person, half like a wild man.
This made Kexin laugh for a long time, and Tian Xiaxia's face turned red with laughter.
……
Entering the mountain, we walked one by one.
Our ground bow sleeve worked well, and on the first hill, we harvested our first prey, a wild pheasant weighing three or four pounds.
This pheasant, at a glance, knows that it is very fat, holding it in the hand, heavy, and very weighty.
When it was found, it was alarmed, flapping its wings, but unfortunately its feet were tied to ropes, and no matter how much it struggled, it was in vain.
But Xin was startled at first, afraid that it would escape, and flew as if it was flying. However, it was found that this was a superfluous worry, and I finally saw the ingenuity and practicality of this mechanism in practice.
Tian Xiaxia walked up, studied it carefully, and then said, "You two were busy all day yesterday, are you just making this kind of trap?"
Kexin said proudly: "Yes." There are thirty or forty more in the back, but I made them all. If each of them has a pheasant, then there are enough thirty or forty of them, Sister Xia Xia, how do you say we have to eat them to finish eating. ”
Tian Xia Xia said: "Don't talk about eating, thirty or forty, you can think about how to get it back." ”
I smiled: "You guys are delusional, you guys, there are dozens of sets underneath, and there can be five sets with prey, it's all considered your luck, I don't believe you will see." ”
"Hmph! If there are more than five of them. Stinky Lele, do you dare to admit defeat!"
But at this time, the heart is 'happy to see the hunting', and he is not affected by my blow. Holding her pheasant, she hurried all the way ahead, rushing to check the harvest of the ground bow sleeve she had set up.
There were some prey that didn't have the prey, but for some reason the mechanism was triggered, and I asked Kexin to tie it again. Since I came with Tian Xiaxia, I also taught her a handful and let her learn this technique too.
This kind of ground bow sleeve is so practical, not only simple to make, but also can be used repeatedly until some parts are damaged, generally can be used for more than two or three months, very saving time and materials.
I saw that Kexin was so positive, and there was nothing wrong with me. took Tian Xiaxia in the back to recognize the herbs found along the road.
The two of us just followed from a distance, so that Kexin would wait for us from time to time, and don't teach one person to just run, slip away and lose contact.
On the way, I encountered a few edible wild fruits, and I also introduced them to Tian Xiaxia so that she could distinguish them, and these wild fruits could be used to enrich food and make food in the future.
This person can't always eat meat, can he, eat too single, will be more nutritious, and need some vegetables and fruits to balance the supplement.
On the head of a birch tree, we found a bush of wild shiitake mushrooms, the fragrance of which could be smelled within a radius of ten meters.
It just so happened that we picked it all and prepared to go back and eat it in the evening.
Wild mushroom stewed wild pheasant, this taste, just think about it makes people drool.
Tian Xia Xia picked shiitake mushrooms, and suddenly said: "Great explorer, why don't you teach me how to identify mushrooms, which ones can be picked and eaten, and which ones are poisonous." When there is no food, I can go into the mountains and pick and cook. ”
I said, "I can't describe it to you without a specific object." Mushrooms generally grow in the rainy season after rain. It hasn't rained for so many days now, and it's rare to see it in the mountains. ”
Tian Xiaxia said: "You just tell me their characteristics, what kind of characteristics can be eaten, and what kind of can't be eaten." No, you can't. ”
I shook my head and said, "There's really nothing to be found in this one. Because it's not necessarily. For example, if you look at the color, you say that the color is bright and colorful, which is poisonous and cannot be eaten, of course, most of such mushrooms are indeed inedible. But some, such as egg mushrooms and chanterelles, are also very bright in color, but they can be eaten. You said that if there is no physical object in front of you, how can I tell you?"
"For example, if it grows on wood, it must be safe, and it can be eaten, that is not necessarily. There is a kind of woody mushroom called a silk umbrella, which is highly poisonous and kills people if you eat it. ”
"So, I really can't explain this to you, when you encounter an unfamiliar mushroom, you would rather not eat it than risk yourself. If you really want to find something to eat, just find something you are familiar with, like this wild mushroom, as well as wild fungus, both of which are grown on wood, you should know the fungus, it is very common in the vegetable market, these two are safe and edible. ”
"In addition, there is also a principle, that is, whether it is poisonous or not, it cannot be eaten raw, and it must be cooked thoroughly!"
