Chapter 174: The Land of Life
As a northerner, he generally feels creepy when he sees a snake, and Wu Yicai is slightly better than other friends.
Although it is also a little scary to see a snake, it is usually a long stick to cripple the snake, and then put it in a plastic bag and carry it home.
Once, a group of old ladies who were enjoying the shade outside happened to see Wu Yicai carrying a bag, and out of curiosity, they wanted to see what was in the bag.
But after opening it, a group of old ladies were so frightened that they howled, and then went to his mother to complain, and there was no surprise that Wu Yicai was spanked by his mother again that night......
After killing the little snake, Wu Yicai's heart did not fluctuate much, and he had a special feeling, as if he had avenged himself many years ago.
The snake that was exactly the same as this little green snake chased Wu Yicai and many friends around the mountains and fields, and finally found a long stick as a weapon, and went back to find that guy to no avail.
Now I encountered such a small snake again, and like the previous snake, it ran towards Wu Yicai quickly, and was killed by a well-armed human.
After killing the little snake, the two of them walked for a long time, and finally came to the dense woods......
There are a lot of branches and vines growing in the dense forest, and there are many thorny plants, which is very troublesome to walk.
It was necessary to use a machete to split through the vines and trees that crisscrossed the rows, and in order to move forward in a straight line, Han Lingshuang pointed out the way behind Wu Yicai.
Two points and one line seem to be the most effective and accurate way to open the way, when Wu Yicai is about to deviate, Han Lingshuang will point it out at the first time, and then change its direction to ensure that it can always move forward in a straight line.
The dense forest here is like most of the ones explored, the smell in the air is always a sour smell similar to fermentation, and there are many mosquitoes flying all over the sky, and it doesn't take long for many bags to be bitten.
"Ah, it's itchy. Wu Yicai grinned and scratched the part of the mosquito bite, and there were 5 bags densely arranged on a palm-sized piece of skin. "The mosquitoes here are so vicious, it's time to test the power of wormwood. ”
Fortunately, I collected some wormwood outside, this herb has a pungent smell inside, and the smell is very strong, and it can't be smelled in a sealed backpack, but it's different when you take it out.
Crush the wormwood vigorously, squeeze out a little juice, and apply it to the neck, which is up and down the body, counting the neck bites, and sure enough, the exposed skin is more vulnerable to attack.
"The ability of this wormwood is really not covered by the sun, and as soon as it is on the body, the mosquitoes will walk around. Han Lingshuang was naturally smeared with wormwood, although after she was bitten by mosquitoes, only a small red spot was left on her skin, but she couldn't stand the mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes here are almost going to eat people, with a touch of the neck with your hand, you can crush at least 5~8 mosquitoes, as soon as the wormwood comes out, the mosquitoes all go around, although these annoying buzzing guys will still approach, but none of the mosquitoes dare to fall on the two of them to bite.
……
The forest here is a new place, full of life, on a tree branch, Wu Yi found a black-brown millipede, like a centipede and other poisonous insects, on a tree hanging a large web, on which lay a big-bellied spider.
Although these poisonous insects are very uncomfortable to look at, at least they can prove that there are a lot of creatures here, and they can find food here, hoping for large mammals such as wild boars, and the two of them are looking forward to the delicious meat.
After walking for a while, the road here is not easy to walk because there are many huge palm trees around and a layer of dry and thick palm leaves on the ground.
"We have to be careful when we walk on this terrain, what may be hidden under these overlapping palm leaves. Wu Yicai used his spear to pick open those fallen leaves, and it didn't take long for a shrunken snake to come out of it.
Spearhead pit viper!
"Snakes, there are really snakes!" Han Lingshuang was startled by the poisonous snake that turned out, this earthy gray snake full of patterns knew at a glance that it was a poisonous snake, and its triangular head, which was also a sign of a poisonous snake.
The most daring terrestrial snake on this island is the spearhead pit viper, which is very venomous and will be completely played out after being bitten.
Wu Yicai naturally killed a lot of these poisonous snakes, and there was no accident that this snake was killed, for Wu Yicai, whose hands were covered with blood, this has become commonplace.
Along the way, from the fallen leaves accumulated on the ground, many creatures hiding inside, mostly snakes, but also tarantulas and millipedes, and they have only one fate.
"Pervert, I found a banana!" Han Lingshuang held Wu Yicai's shoulder with one hand, jumping excitedly, and stretched out his index finger with the other hand, pointing to the banana tree not far in front.
The bananas hanging on it are still green, obviously not ripe, you can take them back, roasted and eaten seems to be a good choice, of course, you can also eat them when they are sleepy.
"Wait a minute, let me see if this banana can be eaten. Wu Yicai cut a banana with a machete, and then cut it, revealing not white flesh, but dense black beans. "This obviously can't be eaten......"
"This ...... How could this be?" Han Lingshuang's clear autumn water eyes flashed with a hint of loss, she was very puzzled, turned her head to stare at Wu Yicai and asked, "Isn't this a banana?"
Han Lingshuang felt a little unacceptable, this is obviously a banana, but it is not ripe yet, there are many huge black spots in it, it seems that it should be some seeds, how can a banana have such a big seed?
"Strictly speaking, this is a banana, or the original banana. Wu Yicai shrugged his shoulders and threw away the inedible banana in his hand, "The banana we usually eat is transformed from this most primitive banana mutation. ”
"Is it a graft?" Han Lingshuang was still puzzled and continued to ask.
"When humans first discovered bananas, they were of this type, because they felt that there were too many seeds inside them to eat, so they tried to cultivate them, but the result was that the bananas inadvertently mutated, and the seeds in the original pulp became smaller, and they tasted better!" Wu Yicai explained helplessly.
This feeling is very painful, obviously found a delicious fruit, but found that it can't be eaten, this is really torturous, especially for a foodie-level girl like Han Lingshuang, this is the biggest tragedy in life.
Han Lingshuang looked very lost, she was originally full of confidence and was ready to eat bananas, but she cut it with such a hand......
"Han Lingshuang, don't be sad, there is still a long way to go here, we haven't explored, maybe we will find delicious fruits in the next moment. Wu Yicai patted Han Lingshuang's shoulder and comforted.
"Well, it's fine. Han Lingshuang nodded lightly, the afterglow seemed to have swept something again, and a smile appeared on the originally sullen little face again, "Look over there, it's papaya!"
