Like the pine tree, bamboo is also an evergreen plant that was listed as one of the Four Gentlemen by the ancient Chinese literati. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But unlike pine trees, bamboo belongs to the genus Bamboo, which means that once a bamboo appears, it will not be one or two, but a whole patch.

And in winter, the whole verdant area is particularly eye-catching in the white world.

"Squeak!"

It's a little cold!

Crossing the stream, Lu Feng climbed the big tree next to him.

Unlike the sea of grass on the other side of the stream, most of the trees that grow across the stream are tall trees, and although the density of plants has decreased due to the slightly poor soil, the trees have grown taller and more prosperous because of the abundant sunlight.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, a summary of the experience of the ancients.

The dead leaves on the unknown tree had long since fallen, and stepping on the thick snow on the branches, Lu Feng climbed to the highest branch, swaying with the mountain wind while looking into the distance.

To the east of the big tree is the direction where Lu Feng came, with the rushing stream and the sea of grass, and to the north, along the stream all the way to the source, which is the direction of Scarface's territory and hot springs.

The east and north don't need to pay too much attention, Lu Feng casts his eyes on the west and south. And at this glance, Lu Feng immediately saw a large patch of verdant in the snow.

"Squeak!"

I didn't expect there to be a bamboo forest!

To the southwest of the tree, a large patch of tall bamboo with sword-shaped blades swayed in the mountain wind, making a rustling whistle, although there was still some snow on the top, but due to the shape of the bamboo, there were not many of them, and at the same time, they were still slowly sliding in the constant shaking before falling to the ground.

go！

Recording the location of the bamboo forest in his mind, Lu Feng climbed down from the big tree, and then moved towards the entire verdant bamboo forest!

…………

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, this sentence is also applicable to Lu Feng now, from the big pine tree through the sea of grass, across the stream, but it took Lu Feng about half an hour, but from the big tree to the bamboo forest, it took more than twice as long as Lu Feng set off from the big pine tree to find the big tree in the bamboo forest.

However, the effort pays off.

When Lu Feng stepped into this vast bamboo forest, he immediately encountered a surprise!

"Squeak!"

Dense bamboo forests tend to block a lot of sunlight, making it difficult for other species of plants to grow except for a single species of bamboo, so not only are trees not visible, but even shrubs are very rare at the bottom of the bamboo forest.

Without a variety of plants, there is no abundant food in nature, and without habitat and food, it is difficult for natural birds and other small animals to survive.

However, bamboo forests have a very different but complete ecosystem from forests.

"Squeak!"

This is not Lu Feng's call, but the call of the native rodents in the bamboo forest.

On the steep slope of almost 45 degrees, countless bamboos as thick as bowls rise to the sky, the dense bamboo leaves block the sun, the mountain wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, and the snow is shaken off from time to time, and on the soil below, the dry bamboo leaves and snow are mixed, covering the ground firmly.

"Squeak!"

There was another chirp, the snow and bamboo leaves rustled, and then a big cylindrical creature with a length of thirty or forty centimeters and short limbs came out from under the snow, raised its nose and sniffed in the direction of Lu Feng, while squirming its limbs impatiently.

This is a bamboo rat, the only rodent that depends entirely on bamboo for survival, with a blunt and round head, small eyes, front teeth, and ears hidden in the hair, living underground in bamboo forests, feeding on the underground stems, roots, twigs, and bamboo shoots of bamboo.

"Squeak!"

The nose that kept sniffing suddenly stopped, the bamboo rat slowly turned its head, and its small eyes looked at Lu Feng not far away, and then its short limbs moved wildly, and this head opened its front teeth and rushed towards Lu Feng!

"Squeak!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Lu Feng pulled out the small dagger in the scabbard on his back, lowered his body slightly, and waited for the moment when the bamboo rat impact arrived, he would whip it hard!

"Squeak squeak~!"

Immediately, the bamboo rat, which was fat and strong, six or seven times the size of Lu Feng, flew up in the air, smashed heavily on the dead leaves below the steep slope, and the round body rolled up rapidly along the steep slope, until it rolled to a position close to the bottom of the slope, and then staggered to stand up, making circles on the spot, obviously falling.

"Squeak!"

Hey!

You know how powerful this rat is!

Lu Feng didn't use the blade of the dagger when he whipped the bamboo rat away, he just slapped it hard with the side of the dagger, although it was painful, but there was no worry about life.

Inserting the clean dagger back into the scabbard, Lu Feng no longer paid attention to the bamboo rat, but cautiously walked through the bamboo forest to explore.

…………

"Squeak!"

This rat is still too taken for granted!

Finding a satisfactory bamboo and trying to pierce the thick bamboo body with a small dagger, Lu Feng completely gave up the idea of using bamboo as a container.

Although the natural link state of bamboo can be conveniently used as a container, and humans use it in the same way, but for Lu Feng, first, there is a lack of tools, and a small dagger cannot cut down thick bamboo at all, even if it uses human strength. The second is that the bamboo knots are very thick, even if Lu Feng cuts them down and wants to transport them back to the vicinity of the big pine tree, it is a huge project, which requires a lot of time and energy.

It's better to eat carefully next time, and leave a chestnut shell as a container!

Thinking so, Lu Feng changed his thinking, no longer focusing on finding suitable bamboo as a container for this exploration, but began to explore the products in the bamboo forest that could be useful to him.

"Squeak!"

Looking up at the sky above the bamboo forest, Lu Feng observed the color of the bamboo leaves and the state of the first pair of branches.

This is the kung fu that I often went to the bamboo forest contracted by my uncle and uncle to dig bamboo shoots when I was a teenager. Generally, the bamboo leaves are thick green with yellow spots for the pregnant bamboo shoots, only need to look around it, if there is a slightly convex and cracked plot, there are basically bamboo shoots below.

At the same time, the first section of mature bamboo next to the growth of the branches is also very critical, if the branches in pairs, symmetrical growth, then for the mother bamboo, with the color of the leaves, combined with the bamboo whip trend, eight or six out of ten hoes do not miss. And if the first section is a single branch, it is a male bamboo, and there are absolutely no bamboo shoots around.

There are bamboo shoots here!

With experience, Lu Feng only swept a few bamboos, and then found a pregnant bamboo shoot mother bamboo that was giving birth to bamboo shoots, and followed the trend of the bamboo whip, and soon found a slightly cracked ground.

"Squeak!"

Hey! This rat has a mouthful!

Winter bamboo shoots are called winter bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots can be fried raw, and can be stewed in soup, generally blanched with water before eating, and then sliced or shredded and mixed with various ingredients for processing, the taste is extremely delicious and crisp.

And Lu Feng's favorite bowl of winter bamboo shoots before his rebirth is winter bamboo shoots and pickles soup, which does not need other condiments, just need to boil raw winter bamboo shoots and pickles together, boil and put a little salt, refreshing and appetizing, crisp in the mouth, and endless aftertaste.
