PS: Kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Dear book friends, let's get more monthly passes and recommendations!
Yun Yi and Li Mu, who walked out of the door of the medical room, the relationship between the two of them is not very high now, and it is unreasonable to say that their manor has no responsibility in this matter; In fact, the matter of tourists is easy to solve, but if the black shadow in the palm grove still exists, there will be the next injury incident if it is not good, which is the headache for the two of them now.
"Wood, you will personally deal with the affairs of these two tourists tomorrow, but except for the medical expenses and a week's lost work expenses I said before, the others will not be paid, and if they don't agree, let them go through the judicial process." Yun Yi thought for a while and said.
"Okay! I'll do it myself tomorrow! It's just," Li Mu said here and paused.
"Just what?" Yun Yi turned around and asked.
"It's just that this crisis still exists!" Li Mu said worriedly.
"I'll go back and think of a way to do this, the roads in or near the Palmetto Forest are temporarily closed, and we will open them when they are resolved!" Yun Yi stopped and said.
"Hmmm! That's fine, it's just not too long. Li Mu said.
"Also, during this time, you must pay more attention to the situation on the pasture, I have a lot of cattle and sheep pregnant before, this is not sloppy!" Yunyi reminded.
"I'll go back and implement this matter, and promise that no one will die." Li Mu said affirmatively.
Seeing that the matter was almost handled, Li Mu also went to get busy, and Yun Yi thought about going to the palm forest to take a look in person.
As soon as I drove to the intersection of the palm forest, I saw the staff in the manor standing there to stop a few tourists who wanted to enter, and under the explanation of the staff, the tourists also left with understanding.
"Mr. Yun is here!" Seeing Yunyi who got out of the car and walked over, the staff hurriedly said hello.
"Xiao Liu! How is it okay to work here? Yun Yi asked with a smile.
Xiao Liu is a fresh graduate college student recruited by Yunyi and them in the city, and he has been working in the manor for more than half a year.
"That's good! The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the salary of your few people is not low! We had a class reunion during the Chinese New Year. Many of my classmates envy me! Xiao Liu said excitedly.
"Good job!" Yun Yi patted Xiao Liu's shoulder and said.
"Okay Mr. Yun!" Xiao Liu said happily.
"Alright, I'll go into the forest and see what's going on!" Yun Yi said and walked towards the intersection.
"It's dangerous in Mr. Yun!" Xiao Liu reminded anxiously.
"Hehehe! All right! I'll just look outside, not inside!" Yun Yi said with a smile.
Seeing Yunyi say this, Xiao Liu couldn't say anything more.
Entering the forest, Yun Yi also increased his vigilance, although he himself is good, but he is still cautious.
Slowly walk into the palm forest. Yunyi looked around, some of the top of the tall palmetto trees are still blooming, and some have already borne fruit, most of them are vertically distributed at an altitude of 3oo~15oo meters, and some grow in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau at an altitude of 27oo meters.
The palmetto tree prefers warm and humid climates and is extremely hardy and shade-tolerant. Mature trees are also extremely drought tolerant, with the only drawback being that they cannot withstand too much temperature difference between day and night. The soil for survival requires not only good drainage but also fertile, and the gourd valley here provides them with such conditions.
Tapping the trunks of tall and thick palm trees, Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Hundred-year-old trees!" It's not easy! ”
This palmetto forest stretches very widely, and fortunately it grows in the gourd valley, if it grows in the high mountains, it may not be able to form such a large scale; Because the root system of the palmetto tree is shallow. There is no taproot, and if it is in a high mountain, it is easy to blow down the tree with its roots when the wind blows.
Moreover, the palmetto tree has strong resistance to soot, sulfur dioxide and other harmful gases, and has the ability to absorb air, which is suitable for air pollution and has a strong purification effect, which is also the root of the perennial fresh air here in Hegu Village.
In addition to this, the palmetto tree has many uses, and its trunk is densely textured. The outside is hard and the inside is soft, moisture-resistant and anti-corrosion, it is an excellent building material, and most of the cattle sheds built in the village before are made of this kind of wood; It's affordable and durable.
And its leaf sheath fiber can be used to make brooms, brushes, coats, pillow pads, mattresses, water tower filters, etc.; The brown bark of the palmetto tree can be used to make ropes, and the leaves can also be used as rain shelters; It can be said that this is something that every household in the valley village cannot live without.
What's more, it is also a commonly used medicinal material, and its flowers, fruits, palm roots and leaf-based palm plates can be processed into medicine. It is mainly used for the treatment of gold sores, scabies, collapsing, hematochezia, dysentery and other diseases; There are a lot of pills made of this raw material in the medicine cabinet of the old man's house; Although the cost is low and not worth a few dollars, the effect is a bargain, and if the symptoms are not severe, two grains will be effective.
The wax bark of the palm tree seeds can also be used to extract high-melting waxes used in industry; It's just that these villagers don't know. And its kernel is rich in starch and protein. After grinding into powder, it is good livestock feed.
Not only that, but the unbloomed buds on its top are a delicious dish that makes people's mouths water when they smell the fragrance.
Whether it is flowers or fruits, these are also delicious foods for the small animals living in this forest, especially the favorite of mink and squirrel small animals, no wonder Uncle Ming and they can casually hug a mink nest here.
In fact, the nests of these mink and squirrels living in the valleys along the Qingshui River are generally installed on the top of the palmetto tree or in the hollow of the tree, and rarely on the ground.
Yun Yi followed the traces left by Uncle Ming and them before, and arrived at the scene of their injuries within a few minutes; After cautiously checking the surroundings, there was no dark shadow as they described, and then slowly approached the pyre on the ground.
Just when Yun Yi was still one step or so away from the pyre, a black shadow suddenly popped out of the pyre, Yun Yi hurriedly flashed to the side, although his movements were fast, but the cuffs were still torn a hole; When Yun Yi turned around in a hurry, the black shadow had already jumped to the top of the palmetto tree, and a small head like the head of a big mouse came out, and his two eyes looked at Yun Yi under the tree.
Following the sunlight, Yun Yi saw clearly that the fur on the little guy on the palmetto tree was not black but purple, but it was much smaller than the average sable, and much larger than the squirrel. The small figure has such a degree, which makes Yun Yi puzzled, but now is not the time to doubt.
Looking at the sable on the tree, Yun Yi slowly squatted down, glanced at the firewood pile on the ground, stretched out his left hand to touch the firewood, first picked up a slightly longer branch and handed it to his right hand, and then touched the woodpile with his left hand again; This little thing is moving too fast, Yun Yi is slowing down the movement of his hand as much as possible, he doesn't want to catch the way of the little thing without paying attention.
Seeing Yunyi's movements, the sable on the palmetto tree was anxiously spinning around the tree, and kept making warning sounds, thinking about it and being afraid to come down; Seeing this scene, Yun Yi knew that this pyre should be the nest of small things, before hearing Uncle Ming they said that there were cubs in the nest, looking at the big sable that was in a hurry on the tree, Yun Yi suddenly realized, it turned out that this big sable wanted to protect his cubs!
After touching it a few times, Yunyi touched the sable's nest and slowly took out the nest, at this time the sable on the tree screamed more urgently, and tried to attack Yunyi, but Yunyi kept paying attention to the sable's movements, and every time the sable made a slight move, Yunyi raised the branch in his right hand and immediately scared the sable back.
Bringing the nest to his eyes, Yun Yi looked at it with the rest of his eyes, there were four little cubs crawling around in this nest at this moment, and they hadn't opened their eyes yet! The meat whirred like a newborn mouse.
Holding the nest in his left hand and a branch in his right hand, Yun Yi paid attention to the sable on the palm tree, and then slowly retreated to the outside of the woods; Every time Yun Yi exited a certain distance, the sable followed forward and kept a distance of four or five meters from Yun Yi.
Yun Yi, who exited the palm forest, continued to retreat along the road to the intersection where he parked his car, he wanted to lure the sable away from here, as for whether he could lead it all the way to the mid-mountain platform, Yun Yi didn't know, so he could only try it as much as possible.
