Chapter 36: Mushrooms
Beneath this riverside willow tree grows several huge mushrooms, also known as willow mushrooms!
As the name suggests, willow mushrooms are mushrooms that grow near the roots of willow trees, and they are delicious and delicious, especially when made into egg drop mushroom soup, which is definitely a delicacy among delicious!
When I went to my grandmother's house when I was a child, Wu Yicai would go to the small river in front of her house to catch crabs and fish, and sometimes she would find some willow mushrooms.
Now as soon as Wu Yicai saw these delicious mushrooms, he immediately recognized them.
He was lying on the bank of the river to collect these huge willow mushrooms, and when he was about to pick the next one, he saw a big one.
It was a large, earthy-yellow toad covered in pimples, and it was too big to be grasped with one hand, but it was estimated that it could be caught with two hands.
"~!"
"How can you open so big, this thing grew up eating Jin Kela, right?"
Wu Yicai was really startled when he saw this thing, and his heart began to beat violently, he had a strong reaction to the pimples on this thing since he was a child.
Wu Yicai saw that it was not afraid, but felt panicked, that is, the layer of golden skin and uneven bumps on its body.
Using a branch to flick the mad toad aside, Wu Yi collected all the mushrooms under the tree.
There are really a lot of these willow mushrooms, about 2 catties, save them first and make a mushroom egg soup the next day to try it!
"Quack~!"
In the upper reaches of the river there is a flock of ducks playing in the water......
Sometimes they dive, sometimes they swim fast, and they are really flexible in the water.
Wu Yicai really wanted to catch one and try it, but unfortunately this kind of thing can't be caught with a rope trap, but you can try to catch it with a slingshot!
When he came to the camp, he put down the mushrooms and began to make a slingshot, cut a Y-shaped branch, carved two shallow grooves with a knife at both ends, and then cut the rubber rubber bands he had picked up from the sea and tied them into the shallow troughs.
Then I collected a piece of tough bark, the bark was rectangular, folded in half to cut out two round holes, tied with rubber bands and ready to use!
It took about half an hour to make this slingshot, and I tried the slingshot, and it was good, it was very easy to use, and the lethality should be quite large.
Wu Yicai picked up some soft stones from the small river to use as ammunition and came to the river area where ducks were active.
They're still there!
Wu Yicai stood on the shore about 10 meters away from these ducks, they were not afraid of him at all, and they were playing all the time.
"Huh, their ignorance of me is the biggest mistake, I'm going to reap their lives!"
He is still relatively good at slingshots, his hit rate is about 85% within 15 meters, and he used to play slingshots in his friends!
Reload!
Stretch!
Aim!
Put!
"Puff~!"
There was a splash about 3 meters away from the duck, and the first shot missed.
It doesn't matter, it may be that I haven't played it for a long time, so practice first!
Second!
The third time!
Until...... The ammunition ran out, it was filled a few more times, and the ducks flew away, but Wu Yicai didn't hit the ducks, which probably shot more than 20 times, right?
Wu Yicai was a little embarrassed, he felt as if he had forgotten the skill of slingshot, and his previous super high hit rate was gone......
The ducks crowed above his head, as if taunting him, and he felt that he could not hit the ducks, and it seemed that he could give up hunting with a slingshot.
......
Wu Yicai came to the camp again, and Wangcai had been lying on the ground and sleeping.
It must have been four or five hours since he had eaten the delicious fruits, and he had not felt the slightest discomfort after such a long time, and he felt that the fruits were non-toxic.
After all, how can such a delicious fruit be poisonous, and macaws and wild boars also eat this fruit, so it seems that this fruit must be non-toxic.
There are a lot of fruit trees there, and there are a lot of fruits, so you can go and collect some in large quantities, but you have to make a few containers first.
Wu Yi had to try to make a few baskets, and the best material here is bamboo, which can be made into several bamboo baskets.
The toughness of the bamboo is very good, it can be bent 90 degrees without breaking, and he has a lot of bamboo here to use!
He had never woven bamboo baskets, but he had seen his grandmother weave wicker baskets before, and he felt that since they were all baskets, they should be similar.
He first cut out a mark from the bamboo with a knife, which was about 2 millimeters thick.
The bamboo strip at the bottom of the basket is very important, its thickness is a little thicker than the rim of the basket, after all, this is the structural backbone of the bamboo basket.
Wu Yicai took the knife vertically downwards and used a piece of wood as a hammer to hit the knife, so that the knife would cut all the way downward.
He cut a total of four of these bamboo strips, all of which were about 2 millimeters thick, about 1 centimeter wide and two meters long.
The size data obtained by Wu Yicai may be biased, but it will never be too biased.
He thinks that the size is still relatively accurate from the eyes, how to say that Wu Yicai has also worked as a lathe worker for 9 years.
……
Wu Yicai doesn't know how to make bamboo baskets, he can only make them according to what he wants, and he doesn't know if he can succeed, he just tries to do it.
He stacked four bamboo strips on top of each other in a circle, so that their centers were facing each other.
Four bamboo strips are arranged evenly to form an equally divided round base, and then their centers are tied with tough bark.
Wu Yicai uses the interspersed fixing method, after fixing, the bark is interspersed and wound at the bottom, and finally the outer part of the basket is made with bamboo strips with a thickness of 1 mm.
This basket was made for about an hour, and although it was not beautiful and not very strong, it was at least considered a success......
The net is about half a meter in diameter and about 60 centimeters high.
The night crept down, he roasted a few bananas, Wangcai didn't look hungry at all, the thing had been sleeping almost all day, and now its belly was still round!
He was relieved to have Wangcai with him, and he was not afraid of the deep woods and the terrifying birdsong.
As night fell, the dark night sky was full of stars, and a bright silver moon hung high in the night sky, and the undulating sponge reflected the fluctuating moon shadow.
The purple-blue Milky Way has reappeared near the sea level, and it is truly beautiful!
The grass on the river beach is also very lively, and a group of green light spots are flying all over the sky, and there are so many of them that they form a sea of green light!
It's a firefly!
Thousands or more of the fireflies gather together and walk in the air around the grass along the river.
It was the first time he had seen so many fireflies gathered together, and he felt so shocked and beautiful!
Wu Yicai used to see fireflies on midsummer nights in the countryside, but he only saw a few in the mountains and in the sticks.
If you hold a flashlight, you can release a flashing signal, and sometimes fireflies will fly up.
……
Inside the camp, Wangcai seemed a little restless, could it have noticed that something was wrong?
"Ahh
Wu Yicai was a little confused, could it be that Wangcai is really a wolf?
He has some bitterness in his heart, he has a wolf by his side?
"Ahh
But just as he was thinking, there was a wolf howling from the mountain not far away, and the cry was compact, and he knew that there was not just one of them!
There are wolves here, and there are a lot of them, he is not dreaming, all this is true!
"Am I going to be eaten?"
"Will Wangcai bring those wolves to eat me?"
"Will Wangcai participate in this feast of human flesh?"
Wu Yicai's heart was asking himself......
I do not know!
I really don't know!
Wu Yicai is now a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and his soul seems to have been lost......
Wangcai would sing a duet with the wolves every once in a while, but Wu Yicai was curious to find that the voices of the wolves were getting smaller and smaller, which meant that they had gone far......
Wangcai seemed to be a little tired, and it slowly walked towards him, but his heart was beating a little fast.
Wu Yicai is afraid, he is afraid that Wangcai is a wolf!
No, Wangcai is his partner, how can he be a wolf?
Even if it's a wolf, he'll domesticate it, he'll influence it, it's my companion!
Wu Yicai pounced on him and hugged Wangcai, who was licking his cheeks with his tongue, so soft and warm!
It was then that he remembered a documentary about a farmer's sheep that were often eaten by wolves, and when he had a headache, he invited an old fellow who studied wolves.
The old man recorded the howling of the wolf he had raised, and asked the farmer to play it on the loudspeaker when the wolf came.
Ever since he recorded the wolf howl, the wolves haven't eaten his sheep again!
Maybe Wangcai smelled or sensed the wolf just now, and it imitated the wolf howl to tell those wolves that there was already a wolf here, so let's go.
……
Wangcai has always been very calm, and he has not acted excessively, so he should also be a partner!
Wu Yicai fell asleep with Wangcai in his arms, he slept very comfortably, and it was very reassuring to have Wangcai to accompany him......
When Wu Yicai was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt that his hand was bitten by something.
But it didn't hurt, he did feel the feeling of sharp teeth stabbing his palm.
It's Wangcai, it's biting Wu Yicai's hand just now!
