Chapter 67 [Encounter ...... Around the Corner]
After only turning a corner, I saw a pool of water settled in front of me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, even the audience was happy for him.
Chen Ergou didn't rush to pounce and drink, he looked around very sensibly, and when he saw several dry white bones near the water source, his happy expression began to become helpless. "It's a pity friends, I found enough water to even jump in and take a shower." But there is a problem, this water cannot be drunk. ”
"Look at the bones of those animals, they should be the bones of an antelope. And there......"
He pointed to something floating on the surface of the water in the shadows, "It's the corpse of a gerbil, floating in the water and slowly rotting. The animals gave me the best guidance, and the water is not flowing, it is a pool of stagnant water, and such water must not be drunk. If I take a small sip, I might get seven or eight weird diseases. At this time, you need to test your perseverance and reason, even if you are thirsty, you must give up. The desert can make people crazy, and some people who are thirsty and crazy don't care whether the water is drinkable or not, and when they see the water rushing over, they will take a few sips, and the final result may be similar to that gerbil. ”
He shook his head with some nostalgia and some regret.
's withered face, helpless expression, and couldn't help licking his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue, all made the audience feel his difficulty.
After all, anyone who has been busy for a while, but still can't drink water, will be unbearable. Many people in the live broadcast room gave him gifts to encourage him. Some people didn't forget the stalk just now, reminding him, "You still have pee." ”
These screen-swiping barrages, even if they are teasing, also made Chen Ergou feel moved.
He did not lose confidence, but comforted the audience, grinned his chapped lips and smiled: "Don't worry. Life is like that, you can't always have smooth sailing. ”
"Maybe it was the last time I was in DXAL Forest that was too good, and this trip to the Sahara Desert is going to make it a little more difficult for me. But never give up hope and confidence, encourage yourself in the face of adversity, and maintain a good attitude. Not only in survival, but also in daily life and work, the same is true. The more this time, the more you must fully activate your brain and use the knowledge you have learned to solve difficulties. The reason why human beings evolved from primitive humans to earth masters is not because of a strong physique, but because of a smart brain and the self-confidence of a brave man who has the courage to explore. ”
"Well, there's no drinking water here, and I'll have to find another way out. The space under this canyon is unexpectedly large, and I won't go up for a while, so I'll need to cross the waterhole to the front. ”
When he got into the water, the pool was so deep that it went straight to his chest. And the water temperature was unexpectedly cold and biting, and there was a faint strange smell.
Chen Ergou pinched his nose and dripped water forward, saying, "The water is very cold, I guess everyone didn't expect this." Because ten meters above, it is still a hot desert. ”
The waterhole is not easy to walk, and all his land walking skills are useless in the water. After a difficult underwater climb over all kinds of bumps and an uphill climb, the water depth began to drop, "The water temperature is really low, and if you stay in this water for half an hour, your body temperature will drop below 30 degrees Celsius, which will cause a series of physical symptoms." But I wanted to go over and see that such a huge waterhole is a poison for animals, but it is very suitable for plants. Walk through and maybe something new will come to discover. ”
Sunlight visibility in front of you also increases at a rate visible to the naked eye. At this time, Chen Ergou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "Look, everyone, I found something good." ”
"Great, it's aloe vera. ”
The camera turns, and the top of the high cliff wall coincides with a ray of sunlight shining down on the tender green thick-leaved plant. It's so distinct, so delicious, it's hard to ignore at first glance.
-- It's aloe vera.
At this moment, in despair, he met such an aloe vera, and he had reason to say, "This is one of the most beautiful plants I have ever seen in my life." ”
"Audience friends, to paraphrase a movie buzzword: life is like a piece of chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like. Never give up when surviving in the wilderness, maybe just a kilometer further from the place where you decide to give up, it's a water source, it's an oasis, it's a shortcut to survival. That's what sticking with it. ”
This aloe vera stood there proudly, bowing its head and not speaking, although it was like a knife on its body, it was not a thousand miles away. Outwardly, it is undoubtedly delicate, but still inappropriate, because it lives in the desert and is ravaged by the wind and sand.
…… No matter what adjectives he uses, aloe vera at this moment is the most beautiful plant in his eyes.
Chen Ergou's voice increased significantly, and he said with a smile: "Aloe vera is definitely not unfamiliar to many ladies. ”
"Its composition is extremely complex, rich in active substances, and generally higher than that of other plants. Moreover, modern science has proved that there are hundreds of known and unknown chemical components contained in aloe vera, of which nearly 100 chemical components have been studied and applied...... In short, the nutritional value is very high.
Aloe vera plants contain a large number of amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharide compounds, as well as various enzymes and minerals, which have the functions of sterilization and anti-inflammatory, enhancing immune function, and scavenging endotoxins and free radicals. It can relieve constipation, prevent colitis, improve human blood circulation, remove acne and nourish beauty, and improve the health of the whole body.
Many friends who want to lose weight and beautify their face should pay attention to the fact that consuming enough aloe vera products every day can also help the body reduce the absorption of oil in food, so as to achieve better weight loss and detoxification. ”
He started with his hands, cutting from the bottom with a knife, and then using a parachute bag to make a simple makeshift backpack to wrap the aloe vera leaves.
"This aloe vera is very delicate and the fat leaves look very tasty. If you have a wound on your body in the desert, aloe vera juice will also help you stop the bleeding and sterilize. ”
"Most importantly, as a chef, I can tell you responsibly. Aloe vera can be used in at least a dozen ways to make a delicious delicacy. So I'm going to take the whole aloe vera with me. ”
praised the aloe vera in his mouth, but Chef Chen kept cutting down the whole aloe vera in his hands.
Continuing to walk forward, not far from the other side, a strange plant growing attracted Chen Ergou's attention.
"Does anyone know about this plant?"
I saw a strange plant with two leaves, a thick stem, and roots growing in the sunlight ahead. Its two leaves are very large, at least 2 meters long, more like an alien creature with a fluffy mane described in science fiction.
Dongdong, who is creepy at first glance, really doesn't know much, so the "question mark army" with the most abundant team members in the live broadcast room has become the overlord at this time.
"It's a thousand-year-old orchid. ”
Chen Ergou revealed the answer, and at the same time drew a knife and walked over.
When you look at his action, you know that this thing can be eaten.
"People who live in China may not know much about Chitose Orchid. Compared to aloe vera, the millennia is really not very pretty, but it is the most drought-tolerant plant in the world. As the name suggests, the Chitose orchid has a very long lifespan, generally between 400 and 1500 years old, and even if it does not rain a drop of rain within 5 years, the Chitose orchid can still survive in desert areas.
According to locals, Chitose orchids taste good when eaten raw or roasted with hot ashes. Hence the fact that it also has another name, 'onyanga', which means 'desert onion'. So, as a chef, do you think I'm going to let this thing go?"
Chen Ergou teased the sailors and ran to pick them happily.
The sudden wave of receipts set off a small climax in the live broadcast room-
"I've seen it for a long time. ”
"I don't have to die of thirst. ”
Some people also asked the key question: "Can the water in this thing replenish the body's needs?"
