【Chapter 067】 Camping in the mountains

After the team marched through the forest until 4 p.m., Wang Huaan and Zhao Laosan began to pay attention to finding a suitable camping spot. Zhao Laosan's original name was Zhao Liang, and he ranked third in the family, so he was called Zhao Laosan, and over time, not many people remember his real name.

When camping in the mountains, the choice of campsite is crucial!

You can't choose to be in the valley area, because the weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, and it is possible to have clear skies during the day and heavy rain and flash floods at night. If it rains upstream at night while you are sleeping, the flood will sweep away the people camping in the valley and leave them with no life.

Of course, the jungle is not a good place to camp. In contrast to the relatively spacious and empty woodlands of the deciduous coniferous forests in the north, there is simply no place to put your feet on, let alone camp, in the subtropical jungle. In the dense forest, there are weeds, shrubs and vines everywhere, and there is no sunlight all year round, which makes the fallen leaves in the dense forest rot and breed countless mosquitoes and poisons, which makes people shudder.

After observing for a while, Wang Huaan and Zhao Laosan coincidentally chose a clearing on the edge of a ridge as a campsite. The clearing was sunny on the edge of a ridge, and there were no tall trees around it, except for a few weeds, so just clear the weeds out.

Seeing the camping spot chosen by the guide, Yu Shanwei and Xu Wenchang glanced at each other, nodded, and recognized the judgment of the two guides in their hearts. They have been conducting scientific research activities in the wild for many years, and in terms of speaking, their ability to survive in the wild is not necessarily weaker than that of some hunters. However, since they have chosen the guide, they have also chosen to trust.

Of course, in the past two days, Wang Huaan and Zhao Laosan have been quite experienced in leading the way, identifying animals and plants, and arranging camping, which is very satisfactory to the members of the scientific expedition team.

After choosing a campsite, everyone began to work according to the original plan.

Yu Shanwei and Xu Wenchang worked in the open space with a sickle, cleaned up all the weeds, and then led the team members to dig the stove and set up a tent.

Wang Hua'an carried a homemade bow and crossbow and burrowed into the nearby dense forest, ready to make some game as an add-on dish for tonight. Zhao Laosan carried two special soft plastic bags to the stream below the mountain to draw water, after all, there is no water source on the mountain.

Liu Rui, who was taken care of by everyone, put down his backpack and helped out in the camp, learning how to set up a tent and prepare for a picnic. After Liu Rui put a net bag on the ground, a round black head poked his head out, and then began to spread joy around the camp.

When he was about to go out yesterday, Xiao Hei pestered Liu Rui vigorously, wanting to follow him into the mountain, Liu Rui threw him back into the yard several times, but he was still unwilling. In the end, Liu Rui, who couldn't stand its complaining eyes, had to carry it in a small net pocket and take it up the mountain. Fortunately, Xiao Hei is more well-behaved, and he usually lies in his pocket and looks at the scenery along the way, and only comes down to move when he is resting.

Looking at Xiao Hei who was drilling around in the camp, Yu Shanwei and Xu Wenchang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, if other team members were so unorganized and undisciplined, they would have said it, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do about Liu Rui.

Qiu Rong and Fu Xiaoqiang were picking up the dry branches on the edge of the surrounding pine forest, and the firewood for tonight's dinner and bonfire fell on them. Fu Xiaoqiang is Xu Wenchang's master's student, only twenty-five this year, he originally loved outdoor sports, and he found an organization. I don't know how many years this pine forest has not been visited, and the pine leaves alone are stacked in a thick layer, and branches that have been blown off by the wind abound.

After a while, Qiu Rong and the others came back with a lot of pine branches, pine leaves, and pine resin, and it would be no problem to burn them all night tonight.

Unexpectedly, when Fu Xiaoqiang was turning the pine leaves, he found a cluster of fungi and hurriedly called Xu Wenchang over.

"Teacher, come and see what this is? Can you eat it? Fu Xiaoqiang asked, holding a mushroom the size of a big toe and a white body covered with tawny markings.

"This is the matsutake mushroom, known as the 'king of mushrooms', of course you can eat it!" He looked at it carefully, then leaned down under the tree to inspect it, nodded and said.

"Won't we be able to feast on it tonight?" When they heard that it was matsutake mushrooms, Fu Xiaoqiang and Qiu Rong's eyes lit up.

Matsutake mushroom, scientific name Matsukou mushroom, is the top existence of mushrooms in the mountains, distributed in the dense forests of Yunnan pine, Huashan pine, oak and rhododendron. Because it has not been cultivated artificially for this purpose, it has relied on the wild, so the market is scarce and expensive.

Fu Xiaoqiang and others have only heard of the name of matsutake mushrooms, but they have really never eaten fresh food, but now they have accidentally encountered it, how can they not be happy?

Immediately, a group of people tried to find the existence of matsutake mushrooms at the edge of this pine forest, hoping to feast on them. As for the depths of the pine forest, because it was getting late, for safety reasons, Yu Shanwei had to restrain the team members not to go deep into it, so as not to have an accident.

Even so, they found a large number of matsutake mushrooms on the edge of the pine forest, enough for all ten members of the expedition team to taste this well-known mountain delicacy at home and abroad.

After a while, Wang Huaan and Zhao Laosan returned to the camp one after another.

Wang Huaan came out of the forest with a few pheasants, and a small bundle of bracken on his back, his movements were quite fast, Liu Rui and they hadn't heard any movement, he had already had a full harvest. Zhao Laosan carried two bags of stream water, and there were more than a dozen palm-sized wild crucian carp strung on a aquatic grass around his waist, which looked like a fisherman who had just reeled in his nets at first glance.

Wang Huaan and Zhao Laosan are both well-known fishing and hunting masters at the foot of Liangcun Mountain, and if they follow them into the mountain, they don't have to worry about going hungry at all. The mountains and forests are full of delicious animals and plants, and it depends on whether you can take these gifts from nature to us.

Seeing that the sun was about to go down, everyone hurried to make dinner. This time, the preparation for entering the mountain is quite sufficient, whether it is pots and pans or ingredients and seasonings, everything is available.

One pot stewed wild crucian carp soup, one pot boiled water to boring the chicken to remove its feathers, and the other pressure cooker was guarded by Liu Rui, boiling a large pot of rice, Fu Xiaoqiang and Qiu Rong were enthusiastically skewered matsutake mushrooms and roasted matsutake mushrooms on the bonfire.

After a while, the pressure cooker valve began to make a sharp whistling sound, accompanied by bursts of rice fragrance wafting through the forest; When the matsutake mushrooms are roasted, they exude a rich aroma mixed with the smell of rosin, which makes people feel very comfortable before they eat it. The milky white crucian carp soup is constantly rolling in the pot, and the aromas of ginger, star anise and Sichuan pepper have been perfectly combined with the aroma of the fish, and it is no longer possible to distinguish each other. In another pot, the golden chicken fat is constantly churning in the soup pot, and in the steaming heat, the snow-white chicken nuggets and matsutake mushrooms are particularly conspicuous, making people reluctant to look away at a glance. The bracken, bracken, which has been blanched and saladed, is neatly arranged on the plate, and the emerald green color stimulates the appetite the most.

Everyone worked together, and it only took an hour to get out today's dinner. In order to commemorate the first dinner that the expedition team ate in the field, and also to keep out the cold at night, Yu Shanwei made an exception and took out a bottle of Erguotou, and everyone drank a small cup to celebrate.

Liu Rui, who had never had picnic experience, only discovered at this time that under the handling of experts, even in the barren mountains and mountains, the taste of dinner was still wonderful. These ingredients, which have not undergone any industrial pollution at all, although they are just simple cooking, make Liu Rui almost swallow his tongue.

After dinner, the sky quickly darkened, and the fiery clouds that had hung on the top of the mountain disappeared in a blink of an eye, replaced by a dark green sky.

Grabbing a bag, Wang Hua'an circled the camp and evenly scattered some crushed herbs.

"Fourth uncle, what are you spilling?" Liu Rui, who was a little puzzled, asked out loud.

"Deworming!" Wang Huaan didn't raise his head and continued: "Lighting a bonfire at night can prevent wild beasts from approaching, and these medicines can disperse small poisons such as centipedes, scorpions, and ants. ”

Hearing Wang Hua'an say this, Liu Rui remembered that among the wild camping skills that his grandfather told him, there was a situation about this aspect, but Liu Rui had never practiced it, and his reaction was inevitably a little slow.

After sprinkling the medicine, Wang Huaan added a handful of wormwood and other medicines to the bonfire, and suddenly a strong smell of medicine began to permeate the camp and spread. It's also amazing to say that after the wormwood burns, the terrifying buzzing of mosquitoes in the ears gradually fades away and disappears.

After Wang Huaan finished these tasks, the other team members also cleaned up almost and began to get into their tents one by one, ready to rest. Although everyone is not very tired, it is only the first day of entering the mountain, and everyone knows that there will be more difficult times in the future.

Liu Rui's tent was next to Xu Wenchang, and Liu Rui, who was a little energetic, naturally couldn't sleep so early, so he simply stuck his head out of the tent and talked to Xu Wenchang.

"Teacher Xu, when you saw that piece of dove tree today, you were very excited, why?" After staying in the team for a long time, Liu Rui and the other team members called Xu Wenchang and Yu Shanwei teachers.

"It is a relict plant unique to China, and ginkgo, pine and other plants are all first-class protected plants under key protection in China, which are extremely precious." Xu Wenchang paused, and said in organizational language: "It is a 'living fossil of plants' that survived more than 10 million years ago, and it is of great significance for the study of the earth's climate change and environmental change. ”

In the face of Liu Rui, who is a little studious, both Yu Shanwei and Xu Wenchang have a good impression, so in the face of Liu Rui's questions, Xu Wenchang naturally explained patiently.

One old and one young are like this, one speaks, the other listens, immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Liu Rui only discovered at this time that it seemed that in the world of animals and plants, there were endless mysteries waiting for people to explore, which made him very interested.

At this moment, there was a rapid barking of dogs in the woods not far away!
