0209 Digging

Holding the bathtub and pouring some water, Xu Yi washed well and went to bed. Today, with a lot of effort, coupled with a fright, Xu Yi lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

After Xu Yi got up and cooked, he carried the vegetable basket and prepared to pick some vegetables for breakfast.

However, seeing the iron shelf next to him, Xu Yi changed his mind and walked there, thinking about going to see the beehive again.

Sure enough, after the hive was full, both boxes of bees were not very attendees.

Xu Yi stood on the edge of the beehive for a while, only to see that there were only three or two bees in and out of the hive door in each of the two beehives, which could not be compared with the lively scene of bees entering and leaving the hive door in an endless stream before.

Xu Yi saw a bee flying out of the forest and flew straight in the direction of the original linden forest, so he squinted his eyes and carefully watched where it went.

Then the bee landed on the branches that had been cut off, and then kept flying and shuttling between the branches, and it was evident that it had begun to collect nectar from the flowers again.

Xu Yi raised his head and sniffed, carefully distinguishing the smell in his nasal cavity, there was still a faint fragrance of linden flowers, it seemed that there was still nectar to be picked in those linden flowers that had not yet withered.

Moreover, Xu Yi also noticed that the trunks and branches of the felled trees were still strong, and there seemed to be no absorbed trunks, and Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh at the strength of this lime tree.

Xu Yi turned his head, ready to pick vegetables, but he remembered something for a while, and then he stopped again, turned his head and looked at the flowers on the tree.

Xu Yi suddenly thought of the role of the linden flower, and when he thought of something, he couldn't help but move. This linden flower should pick some of it yourself!

In these days, as long as there is a cold, doctors often like to hang salt water on children, and parents also approve of this. I think this hanging water is trouble-free and works quickly. The effect is also good.

In fact, this saline may not be completely effective, but it will definitely reduce the child's own immune response.

However, frequent use of salt water, especially antibiotics, can lead to a lack of the necessary antigenic stimulation needed to establish a sound immune system.

It is difficult for such children to establish an effective immune system, and they can easily catch a cold when the flu strikes again in the future.

The branches of the linden trees on the ground are full of flowers, and Xu Yi plans to collect some to dry and bring them to the families with children in the village when he returns home.

Linden flowers have a good sweating and detoxifying effect. And this thing has a mild taste, which is easier for children to accept.

And linden flowers do not have too many toxic side effects, the dosage limit is not very strict, you can use it alone, you don't have to strictly restrict the monarch and the minister, you just need to tell them how to use it. When children have a cold, they use it to sweat, and parents use it to save trouble and safety.

Thinking like this, Xu Yi planned not to dig the roots of the tree first, and then wait until he finished collecting the linden flowers.

After breakfast. Xu Yi carried a steel bucket and walked directly to the branches.

The air is still fragrant, and the branches are densely covered with white flowers, as well as countless immature seeds or budding buds.

Xu Yi flipped through the branches. Take out the pale green buds from the top and put them in the bucket when they are about to bloom.

Those that have already bloomed can actually be medicated as well. However, the active ingredient of this linden flower is volatile, and the medicinal effect of this flowering is almost volatile. The effect of the medicine is too poor, and the petals on the top of the seeds are almost gone. Obviously, it's even more unsuitable.

These buds that are about to bloom are naturally the best choice because the active ingredients accumulate enough and volatilize less.

There were quite a lot of buds on the branches, and Xu Yi just flipped over the branches of a few trees on the side, and picked a large bucket.

The buds are tender and full, Xu Yi twisted one and gently pinched it with his fingers, the place where the buds cracked exuded a charming fragrance, Xu Yi nodded, the effect of such flower buds made into medicine must not be bad.

As for the amount of medication, when you bring it back, you can just let parents add or subtract it according to the condition of each child.

Xu Yi took two wooden planks and put them on top of the workbench, poured out the flower buds and spread them on the board, and got up to get a shovel and a steel pickaxe.

These buds can be dried to make a lot, there is no need to continue to pick, after all, if the dried flowers are not well sealed, it is easy to absorb moisture and mildew, and the active ingredients in it are easy to volatilize when heated, and it is useless to leave too much.

Even if these are really not enough, you can plant some more linden trees yourself in the future, and pick some more when you cut down the trees.

Carrying the tools, Xu Yi first walked to the pile of wood that had been erected and examined it.

Not bad, the material of this shelf is very good, not only none of the clamps have been crushed, but even none of the steel pipes have been bent, and these woods will definitely be saved.

Xu Yi walked towards those tree stumps, the bitter battle was about to begin!

Walking to the nearest tree root, Xu Yi put the steel pickaxe aside, spat a little into the palms of his hands, then held the shovel handle, let out a little along the stump, and dug it directly.

The soil on the ground was loose, and the shovel head was directly submerged into the ground, so Xu Yi directly said goodbye and dug down a large piece of soil.

Xu Yi scattered the soil to the side, and then continued to dig around the roots of the tree along the edge of the pit he had just dug.

Digging under this tree, there will naturally be countless roots growing in the ground.

Xu Yi didn't care about them, all the small roots were cut off with a shovel blade, and only when he encountered the big roots did he get out of the way, and the soil around the roots was emptied.

The roots of these big trees are thicker than the mouth of a bowl, and even if you don't break the shovel handle, don't try to dig them up.

Xu Yi dug a deep pit about one and a half meters in diameter and almost a meter deep around the root of the tree before stopping.

The pit was crisscrossed with more than a dozen roots of varying thicknesses, and only by cutting off all of them could the stumps be pulled out of the soil.

Xu Yi put down the shovel, took the steel pickaxe, took a deep breath and jumped into the pit.

Xu Yi turned the bladed side of the steel pickaxe downward, held the pickaxe high above his head with both hands, and aimed it at a tree root and slashed it hard.

With a "tuk", the pickaxe slashed directly into the roots of the tree almost an inch deep. It's too early to break off.

Xu Yi held the pickaxe handle with both hands and shook it lightly a few times, pulling out the tightly clamped pickaxe blade from the root of the tree. Then he lifted it high and cut it down again against the edge of the hole that had just been cut out of the tree roots.

Xu Yi repeatedly shaved more than a dozen times. I cut off the roots.

After cutting off more than a dozen lateral roots, Xu Yi pushed the root to the side, let it lean against the pit wall, and then cut off the taproot with the thickness of his thigh under the stump.

The roots of the tree shook twice, and they fell directly to the bottom of the pit.

Xu Yi didn't care about the soil sticking to his body, and hugged the roots of the tree to get it out of the pit, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, not to mention digging the roots.

It's not a problem at all, the farmer. Which Shimoda can still wear a suit and leather shoes?

Wouldn't it be easier to wait for the roots of the tree to be dug up, and then go and wash the clothes, but if it doesn't work, just send it out of the space, wait for the soil to turn into water, and then take it back for cleaning.

As for the roots of the trees that were cut off and buried in the soil, Xu Yi was not too worried.

There is very little chance that these roots will survive and then grow saplings on them, so if there is one and a half of them, it will be enough to deal with them alone.

If you really dig all the roots out of the ground, I'm afraid that after all the roots are dug up. A large pond several meters deep can be dug in this area.

Xu Yi climbed out of the pit, then slapped the dirt off his body, and then moved his palm, which had become extremely ruddy due to the vibration and force, and was still a little numb.

No way. This is the only way to do this, and it is faster to cut the roots of the tree directly with a chainsaw, but I am afraid that the saw will be useless.

Grit your teeth. Then taking a sip of water from the cup, Xu Yi walked to the next stump.

A whole "two days". Xu Yi didn't do anything else except eat and sleep. All the other time was spent on the roots, and at last all the roots were dug up, leaving a mess on the ground.

Stopped, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and looked at his hands, the palms of his hands were still white, but the roots of his fingers had been ground out with a few black blood blisters.

Xu Yi smiled bitterly, this is really fine skin and tender meat if you don't work, and this hand has been so virtuous in the past two days.

But even so, Xu Yi also felt that he had made great progress, if it was his previous self, it would be good to be able to dig out seven or eight stumps in such a long time.

Xu Yi is not ready to continue to "mutilate" himself, he is ready to take advantage of the two days to read the book first, wait for the space to absorb these branches and leaves, and then smooth out those pits.

Next, after "three days" of hard work, Xu Yi went out to feed the fish and the little fox, and immersed himself wholeheartedly in the world of books.

Xu Yi's memory was not bad before, he had been busy during this time, and he had never read a book as hard as he does now.

He felt that his memory seemed to be better than before, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he would never forget it!

As long as you read it, you can basically remember it by yourself, and you can clearly remember the content of the first day or two.

With no distractions, the efficiency is naturally very high. In just three days, Xu Yi not only read the books for the practical exam, but also read most of the books for the written exam.

Before going to bed, Xu Yi spread out his hands and took a look. The blood blisters on the hands were mostly absorbed, leaving only a small patch of dark red under the skin.

Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh that his ability to recover was really too strong now, or if he woke up tomorrow, the blood blisters on his hands should also heal.

Next, it's time to dig up the garlic and ginger that have grown so long, and then plant more. The amount of these things that you need is also very large, so it is better to reserve more.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Xu Yi intuitively felt like he was in a furnace, his body was extremely hot, and he sat up from the bed suddenly, stunned to find that he was sticky up and down, and the mattress under him had been soaked with sweat.

How much sweat are you sweating?

Xu Yi reached out and touched his forehead, only to feel that it was hotter than the back of his hand, and he was shocked, was he sick?

It was all fine before, but what happened to this fever without warning?

Xu Yi lifted the tent door and prepared to go out, how could he sleep like this?

It's better to scrub it, go to work first, take out the mattress to dry, and then go back and make up for sleep.

However, seeing the scene outside the tent, Xu Yi couldn't help but be surprised. (To be continued......)
