Chapter 316: The Snake of Shu Mountain

Pulling out the plug, Li Junge cleaned the fish directly by the stream, then put away the fishing tackle, and everyone returned to the camp together.

The camp had been cleaned up, six tents were lined up, and Uncle Orion had found a water source in a crack in the mountain wall, inserted half a blade of grass to lead it out, and received a few pots of water, and potatoes had been stewed in one pot.

Uncle Pharmacist was not idle, dug up some white grass roots, and boiled a pot of white grass root tea.

Uncle Orion was empty-handed and said, "Hahaha, sure enough, there is no accident, I have to rely on you tonight!"

Uncle Pharmacist said: "Wei Wei is not bad, he added a snack for us!"

Li Junge put the sauerkraut into the pot and fried it until fragrant, poured the pot of potatoes that had just been stewed into it, and then removed the meat on the side of the general's fish body and changed it into fish fillets, coated it with flour, cut the bones and fish heads into pieces, stew for a few minutes, and then slide into the fish fillets.

On the other side, Uncle Pharmacist began to fry the peach blossom fish, and said while frying it: "I'll come to this, and by the way, I'll fry some side dishes." ”

Wei Wei leaned over curiously: "Uncle Pharmacist, what are you blowing up?"

Uncle Yao Shi hung a kind of wild vegetable on the batter, fried it into golden noodles in the pot, and said while frying: "There are many wild vegetables in the mountains in the spring, and I am chopped bitter horseweed." ”

Li Junge said with a smile while watching the fire: "Wei Wei, teach you a good one, all wild vegetables, coarse fibers, if you don't know how to make them, chop them and beat them into eggs or batter, and then scrambled eggs or fry them, basically the taste is acceptable." ”

Wei Wei clapped his hands and said, "Yo, there is also this formula? That's very simple! Then I can do this with my mother-in-law at home in the future?"

Li Junge said: "Mother-in-law Ding is a dandelion, right? Yes, but it's best not to pick wild vegetables on the roadside and in the park in the city, if you have just been drugged, you may cry and be blind if you eat it!"

The dish was already ready while talking, and Uncle Pharmacist said: "It's easy to sour water when you eat artichoke soup alone, and it is fragrant when you eat it with pasta!"

Professor Li laughed and said, "Ouch, you guys are really particular about running the mountains! When we go out in the field, we often just break instant noodles and put cold water, and everyone will have stomach problems!"

Uncle Orion took out a bottle of wine and said, "Come on, come on, drink a glass of medicinal wine to dispel wind and dampness, but if you have to stay in the mountains for half a month, you can't open it up." ”

Professor Ding smiled: "It's good to have it, plum blossoms and snow under the military fish, tsk, this enjoyment!"

Uncle Yao Shi also smiled and said: "In previous years, we went into the mountains, and we were not much better than you, but this year Piwa came back, the tent house was lived, the sleeping bags were warm and coaxing, and the food was even more exquisite!

Everyone laughed and started to fish fillets in the pot.

The fish fillet is smooth and sweet, and Professor Ding said, "The fish in this Dushui River tastes so good!"

Uncle Orion said: "The military fish in Dushui Creek is a must, and it sells for two hundred and one catties in the county! By the way, have you figured out the peach blossom miasma?"

Professor Li drank a bowl of fish soup and praised it: "This soup can stick to your mouth." Then he said: "I didn't go far in the afternoon, I only checked the two banks, the water quality of Dushui Creek is very good, there is less organic matter in the water, the water quality is clear, the rocks in the water are mainly igneous rocks, and no strange minerals have been found." ”

Professor Ding also said: "The surrounding plants are also ordinary, mainly shrubs, bamboo forests, and there are barbed catfish and broadfin catfish in this water, ah we eat these two, these two kinds of fish have very high requirements for water quality, it stands to reason that there is no problem with water quality." ”

Professor Li thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Orion, this peach blossom miasma is only available in April?"

Uncle Orion ate a piece of peach blossom fish, nodded and said, "Well, it's about that time, a month before and after." ”

Professor Ding said: "That old Li seems to be still plant-based, and it should be possible to rule out the influence of minerals. ”

Professor Li said: "Well, it seems that there should be a large-scale plant community in the upper reaches that has an anesthetic effect on fish, and this so-called peach blossom miasma will be seasonal, because there is no record of the impact on humans after eating fish from Dushui Creek." ”

Uncle Pharmacist nodded and said, "Well, this also makes sense, the fish in Dushui Creek have always been edible, even if the fish has been flipped over, and it saves the effort of catching fish!"

Professor Ding said: "Then the so-called miasma fish here are not big?"

Uncle Medicine and Uncle Orion glanced at each other, and Uncle Orion said: "It doesn't seem to be big, the main thing is the peach blossom fish that Weiwei fishes, seven or eight centimeters, and sometimes there are some white strips and small crucian carp." ”

"It seems that it is a matter of concentration, which has an anesthetic effect on the fish, and the concentration can only affect the smaller fish," Professor Ding said. Hahaha, that's an interesting subject. ”

Uncle Pharmacist said: "I also know some medicines for this hemp fish, such as croton, oil tea cake, mangweed, and even mosquito coils, but these upper reaches of Dushui Creek don't seem to be available." ”

Uncle Orion said: "Who has nothing to do to study this, in Lijiagou, which baby dares to poison fish in the stream, it will be punished!"

Professor Ding smiled: "Then you have done a good job of protecting the ecology here." But then again, there are far more grasses that can poison fish than you said, such as Nux Nux, Hu Manaceae, Camellia oleifera, Lilac knotweed, Nettle, Dorsal vine, and Dioscoreae...... At least twenty or thirty kinds. ”

Uncle Pharmacist was speechless: "There are so many? Oh, Lao Ding, you are too powerful!"

Professor Ding said: "The drugs you are researching are mainly in this Bifeng Mountain, we are studying all kinds of drugs across the country, and we have specialized in the art industry, but I am not very good, when it comes to the medicinal materials in this Bifeng Mountain, I am definitely not as good as you." ”

Uncle Orion smiled: "No matter what, anyway, we have to walk along the river valley for two days, and then Lao Ding and Lao Li can study it slowly, don't worry!

After eating, everyone chatted for a while, and then they got into their tents, and fell asleep in a valley without light pollution, under the starlight of the sky, smelling the faint fragrance of plums.

Li Junge added some firewood to the fire, took out the old-fashioned mobile phone that he had specially bought for a long standby and called Ayin, looked at the surrounding situation, and felt that there would be no nocturnal animals in such an environment, so he slipped into the tent and fell asleep.

For the next two days, there were no major discoveries, and the group walked along the valley, where various plants and birds were discovered, but nothing was on the table.

However, I ate a lot of fish, and Uncle Pharmacist also collected a lot of medicinal materials, many of which Professor Ding didn't know very well, and the two chatted all the way and speculated.

However, on the third day, when Wei Wei passed by a shallow stream, he suddenly noticed that something moved at the bottom of the water.

Wei Wei pointed out to Li Junge and said, "There, there, there's something under the water!"

Li Junge fiddled with the yellow wattle stick in his hand, and a small brown-gray thing came out from under the stone and into another crack in the stone.

"Hey, a little baby fish. Li Junge said.

Seeing a baby fish, it immediately brought up everyone's discussion of reptiles and amphibians.

Wei Wei said to Li Junge: "Erpi, how big have you seen the baby fish in Shushan?"

Li Junge said: "I've seen nothing, Uncle Orion, how big have you seen?"

Uncle Orion said: "The largest I have seen is forty or fifty catties, but at that time, I didn't know how to protect, and I stewed ...... in one pot."

The three researchers rolled their eyes.

Seeing the expressions of the three scientists, Uncle Orion smiled and clasped his head: "Actually, it's too big and not very delicious, three or five catties are suitable, and it tastes like a stone ......."

Even Li Junge couldn't listen to it anymore, so he hurriedly interrupted: "This year, the baby fish woke up quite early. ”

Uncle Orion said: "In the past ten years, the baby fish have woken up earlier and earlier, and there are quite a lot of baby fish in this stream. ”

Wei Wei asked, "This tributary looks quite clear, can the baby fish find enough food?"

Uncle Orion still led the way in front, and said as he walked: "This thing eats miscellaneous, fish, shrimp, crabs, water birds, frogs, everything, and I have found bugs, wooden blocks, small stones, and even a small baby fish in their stomachs." ”

"Damn!" this Li Junge really doesn't know: "It even eats its own children?!"

Uncle Orion said: "Is it strange that wild animals have such a habit? The little birds hatch out, push the nest birds out of the nest and fall to death, and after the goldfish lay eggs, they eat their own eggs, and this kind of thing is common." ”

Wei Wei nodded and said: "Even the male lions on the grassland, most of them are killed by young male lions who come to fight for territory and lioness after they are old, and the cruel competition in nature is the survival of the fittest, that's it." ”

Li Junge shook his head and said: "No wonder the old ancestors want to list the 'lifelong life test' as one of the five blessings, if Zhuangzi knows the survival rules of fish, it is estimated that he will not be envious anymore, hahaha......"

Wei Wei thought of another thing and said, "Ouch! This baby fish has woken up, will the snake also wake up?!"

Uncle Orion said: "The snakes in Lijiagou are non-venomous, and there are only a few kinds of poisonous, and they generally don't attack people, just see it clearly in the aisle." ”

Seeing that Wei Wei was still stunned, he said: "Now the snake hasn't woken up yet, it still has to be a month, Wei Wei, you don't have to be afraid, there are only a few poisonous snakes in Lijiagou, the mountain wind, the flat head wind, the soldering iron head, the bamboo leaf green, and there used to be gold and silver iron, but now I can't see it." ”

Li Junge also explained solemnly: "The mountain wind is the king cobra, the flat-headed wind is the cobra, the soldering iron head is the pit viper, the gold-clad iron is the golden krait, and the silver-clad iron is the silver krait." ”

Wei Wei's hair was about to stand up, and he pulled Li Junge's sleeve: "Oh, don't scare me!"

Uncle Orion said: "We have never been afraid of snakes, because as long as you don't mess with snakes, it will basically not take the initiative to attack people, and will hide from people." Just keep your eyes on it, stop and wait for a while when it is gone. ”

"Zhu Yeqing may pay attention to it, because this snake is mostly on trees, and the wounds of the bitten person are mostly on the upper body, which is closer to the heart and head, so it is more dangerous. But it's easier to spot, so there's no need to be afraid. ”

"We also have a kind of tree snake called 'emerald snake' here, which is non-venomous, and the difference between the bamboo leaf green is that the green green body of the green green snake, and the color of the belly and back of the bamboo leaf green is two, the top is deep and the bottom is shallow, there is a line in the middle separating it, and the tip of the tail is burnt red, and the eyes are also red. ”

"The most important thing to pay attention to is probably the soldering iron head, mainly because this snake is fat and lazy, and does not hide from people. I don't move when I hear footsteps, and I won't give you a bite until I step on it. However, it is easy to recognize, the head is like a soldering iron, and the back of the head is slightly concave, causing the tip of the nose at the front to look slightly upturned. ”

"Only you are a northerner, it is normal to be afraid of snakes, as long as you pay attention to what I say, it will be about the same. ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "In the past, the countryside was all earthen and thatched houses, if there were no one or two house foundation snakes, people would still say that this family could not be developed, and legend has it that the ancestors were reincarnated to guard the house foundation." ”

Uncle Medicine said: "There is really nothing to be afraid of now, even if it is another month, as long as you sprinkle a circle of snake medicine around when you set up camp, it will be fine." ”

Seeing that a few locals were downplaying and didn't take snakes in their eyes, only the nervous mood gradually relaxed.
