Chapter 833: The Second Kind of Treasure on the Island (Ask for Subscription)
After touching out four lotus roots from the water in a row, Han Chengcai went ashore unsatisfied.
If it was possible, Han Cheng wouldn't mind touching the lotus root here for a while.
Such a wish could not be fulfilled this time, after all, their primary purpose this time was to explore the islands in the lake, not to make a special trip to touch the lotus roots.
They are still waiting on the shore, and if they don't go for a long time, they should be worried.
After he went ashore, the rest of the people also went ashore, standing at the water's edge to wash the muddy water on their bodies and legs, Han Cheng wiped his feet on the grass on the side and put on his shoes.
"W-What is this?!"
At this moment a man shouted, looking at his legs, with horror.
When he was just cleaning the muddy water on his leg, he suddenly saw half of the yellow-brown bug on his left leg, and the other half burrowed into the leg!
Hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab and pull, but the insect was soft, slippery and very strong, and the insect was broken, and the part of the worm that got into the meat did not come out!
There was a dull red blood, flowing out of the broken worm's body, spreading down his legs.
Such a thing frightened him, and he cried out in panic.
Han Cheng, who put on his shoes, was startled by this sudden shout, and thought that there was a water monster or something in the lake.
hurriedly went over to ask aloud, and after seeing the appearance of half of the worm in this person's hand and his bleeding calf, he was relieved.
It's just a locust, not a water monster.
"God, Son of God, broken, broken, broken, drilled, drilled into the flesh, can't get out......"
This person was so frightened that his face turned pale, he stammered when he spoke, and looked at Han Cheng as if he was about to cry.
It's really scary, especially for people who don't know about locusts.
If you suck blood and burrow into the flesh, will it multiply in it, and then suck more blood, suck the human blood dry, and eat the meat......
You can't think about such a thing, just thinking about it makes people infinitely terrifying, and it is even more terrifying than when you face a hungry wolf or a tiger alone.
"It's okay, don't worry, let me come."
Han Cheng said to this person, not to let him worry, and then walked to him, raised one foot, took off the shoes on it, took the shoes in his hands, and pulled the soles of the two shoes on the part of the person's leg that was still bleeding.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, a miracle happened.
The worm that couldn't be made out of the broken leg fell off the man's leg and landed in the grass after the two soles of Miko's shoes were pulled down.
The person, who was originally pale with fright, suddenly became happy when he saw this, looking at the reddened leg with the sole mark that was beaten by Han Cheng with the sole of his shoe, not only did he not feel pain, but he also looked happy.
The old primitive man who is not old and runs faster than some reporters, after seeing this scene, he stared at the boss with a look of surprise on his face, and at the same time touched his hand to the sole of his shoe.
It turns out that in addition to the functions of this sole that I knew before, there is such a wonderful use! That's a good thing!
When I think about it this way, I suddenly look at the shoes under my feet even more important.
When screening people who landed on the island for the first time before, although Han Cheng said that older people should not follow, people like old primitives with great bodies were naturally an exception.
"This thing is called a locust, and it likes to suck blood, especially people who have some small gaps in their legs, they are more likely to attract locusts, and locusts also like to suck blood from small gaps.
But don't worry, this thing is sucked in the flesh, and it can be whipped out with two soles, and it can be slapped directly with a slap without a sole. ”
After Han Cheng put on his shoes, he looked at everyone and said.
This matter must be explained clearly, so that the people's panic about the locust can be reduced, and secondly, after this terror is broken, it can lay the foundation for the future digging of lotus roots.
If not, if everyone comes to dig lotus root in the future, they will inevitably be afraid.
In order to further dispel everyone's fear of locusts, Han Cheng also did an experiment - fishing for locusts.
He crouched on the shore of the lake, stretched out his hand, and kept stirring up and pouring the water here, or stirring it so that it made a sound, so that after about four or five minutes, the locusts swam from somewhere else.
In front of everyone, Han Cheng stretched out his hand and scooped up a swimming locust into his hand, explaining to everyone that the locust could not suck the palm of the hand without pores.
After a while, Han Cheng easily tore off a thin grass stalk from the side.
The thumb and forefinger pinch the grasshopper that was being used as an experiment, and then use the thin grass stalk held in the other hand to push it against one end of the grasshopper, and at the same time the hand holding the locust pushes down a little hard, and the whole locust is turned over and pierced on the grass stem.
Under the gaze of everyone, after doing these things, Han Cheng casually planted the locust that had been turned over and was worn on the grass stalk to the ground.
It won't take long for the locust to turn into a dried locust under the wind and sun......
"The water waves sound, the locusts rise" This is a sentence that Han Cheng said in his hometown in later generations, the principle may be related to the sense of touch and other senses of the locust, anyway, there are locusts living in the water, you continue to stir the water in one place, and the locusts will come over after a while.
Han Cheng is really not afraid of grasshoppers, from the skillful action of catching grasshoppers now and turning them over and inserting them on the ground to dry them, he can roughly know that there are not a few grasshoppers who were brutally killed by him in the past.
With Han Cheng's explanation, and after personally giving everyone a performance of catching locusts with their bare hands and putting them on grass stalks, everyone's fear of this terrible insect that can burrow half of their bodies into human flesh and suck blood has dissipated a lot at once.
There are even many people who follow Han Cheng's example just now, squatting at the water's edge, constantly stirring the water with their hands, attracting the grasshoppers to them, scooping them up with their hands, and piercing them on the ground with grass stems.
It didn't take much effort to use seven or eight locusts to be brutally murdered.
Seeing that everyone was no longer afraid of these locusts, Han Cheng smiled and asked people to wash the lotus roots they had just touched with water, pile them in the shade of the trees, and wait until the entire island was turned around and they had a general understanding of them, and then they would take these lotus roots away.
It's a bit too much trouble to take with you on the road at this point.
Continuing along the edge of the island, the direction has changed from the previous direction to the west, to the south.
After walking nearly two hundred meters to the south, a large area of lotus root can be regarded as reaching the edge.
Han Cheng roughly estimated that this lotus root had at least ten acres.
The lotus root is very high-yielding, and the lotus root pond in this piece has been dug up, and the lotus root obtained has to be measured in 10,000 catties.
"Haha......"
Dozens of meters away from this lotus root, Han Cheng still couldn't help laughing.
At the same time, I am looking forward to the next trip, hoping to find more surprises on this island.
Of course, even if there was no rest of the harvest, these lotus roots alone were enough for him to be happy.
Han Cheng had already made a decision, and when he returned to the main tribe from here, he would get some lotus roots to bring back and bury them in the potholes around the main tribe.
The lotus root multiplies very quickly, and in less than two years, the main tribe will be able to produce a lot of lotus roots.
With expectation and good mood, Han Cheng and his party continued to move forward.
As you walk south, the terrain begins to get higher and steeper, making it difficult to walk.
And the lake at the edge of the island has become bottomless.
For the sake of safety, Han Cheng asked people to walk a little inside the island, no longer walking against the edge of the island as before.
"Fluttering!"
After walking forward for a while, there was a sound of flapping wings here, and for a while the branches and leaves swayed, and I don't know how many birds flapped their wings from here.
As the flocks flew up, some of the feathers, the leaves that had been knocked off, and the scattered, gray-and-white droppings of bird droppings fell from the sky.
Of the people who came with Han Cheng, one or two were also hit.
Smelling this rich smell, and looking at the forest full of bird droppings, even the very ferocious primitive people couldn't bear to step on this carpet full of smell everywhere and shuttle through this forest.
The one or two people who were hit by the empty bombs were wiping the fresh bird droppings off their bodies with plucked leaves, and they cursed the damned birds angrily.
Han Cheng couldn't help but sniffle, life really couldn't be smooth sailing!
I hadn't yet come out of the joy of getting the lotus root, but I encountered minefields everywhere.
However, this rather depressed mood did not last long.
The next moment, looking at these bird droppings, Han Cheng's eyes lit up.
It's really not a minefield, it's a real good!
These are all good scraps!
As the area of cultivated land in the tribe has expanded, the fertilizer has been somewhat unable to keep up.
Although there are many people in the Qingque tribe today, large and small, there are more than 1,000 people, and in addition to these, there are also deer, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese and other things, and they are constantly making manure every day.
But even if these many manure machines continue to work hard every day, they still can't support the land of the Qingque tribe.
So until now, the fertilizer of the Qingque tribe has been in a relatively short state.
At this time, there is so much guano here, and it is simply the best gift for the tribe!
Han Cheng thought happily in his heart, and immediately broke off a branch from the side and began to poke guano here.
The main thing is to see how thick the guano is here.
I tried it with a branch here at the edge for a while, and lifted a piece, about thirty centimeters.
Han Cheng, who was deeper, didn't try it, but it must be thicker than the edges.
In this woodland, there is very little grass except for the trees that grow.
On the one hand, the trees block the sun, and on the other hand, there are too many guano and too thick, and there is no soil for the grass to grow......
"Look! See! ”
When Han Cheng and the others had just come to the edge of the woodland above the island, shocked by the spectacular sight of the large guano here, the little peas who stayed on the slope on the shore of the Wild Duck Lake, kept their eyes on the island, pointed in the direction of the island, and shouted excitedly.
At this moment, a dark cloud was rising from the islands in the lake, and then quickly drifting deeper into the lake.
The bird that was startled by Han Cheng and his party and perched on the island.
Looking at the birds drifting away like dark clouds, Wu was also very happy, because it showed that the gods had come to the island, and there were no mistakes on the way.
I haven't heard from the gods for so long, and Wu and the others on the shore can't help but worry, but when they saw these birds rising in the air, their hearts were suddenly relaxed.
Then he began to wait for Han Cheng and their return in a more leisurely mood.
As for what they could get from the island, they didn't think about it at all, they just thought that there was no danger on it.
In such a wait, on the island, after hearing Han Cheng mention using the guano here to fertilize the fields, the rest of the people who followed him also became extremely excited when they looked at the guano.
Yes, so much guano can fertilize a lot of fields!
After staying here for a while, the group of people led by Han Cheng seemed a little reluctant to leave here.
Reluctantly in the face of so many guano, such a thing, I am afraid that only their group of people can do it.
Originally, according to Han Cheng's plan, he went all the way to the southernmost part of the island along the place that was relatively close to the western edge of the island.
Now that there is such a large woodland, and the numerous guano in the woodland, this idea has to be forced to change.
It's not that no one proposed to pass through here directly, just looking at the thick guano everywhere, Han Cheng still couldn't get down this foot after all.
After hesitating for a moment, he began to walk east along the northern edge of the forest.
After about three miles of walking, the forest thinned out, and it was not far from the eastern edge of the island.
Han Cheng and the others went south from here.
Because the trees here are relatively sparse, there is not much guano on the ground, so you can pass with confidence.
The forest here is sparse because there are many stones distributed on the ground, Han Cheng and the others walked all the way, and there was little soil on the ground, which was all relatively flat and connected stone slabs.
"Gollum ......"
On the way to walk, he encountered a small stone, and Han Cheng suddenly got up and kicked it forward with his foot.
"Huh?"
After this kick was kicked out, looking at the stone that had just stopped, Han Cheng looked a little puzzled.
Because the foot feeling brought by this stone is different from that of ordinary stones.
It lacks the heaviness and texture that is unique to stones.
Thinking like this in his heart, Han Cheng walked a few quick steps to the stone that had stopped, and bent down to pick it up.
This stone is really not heavy, it is almost half as light as a common stone.
Han Cheng took the stone and looked back and forth in his hand for a while, but he didn't find any special name in it, and after thinking about it, he threw it to the ground hard.
The stone, which appeared to be relatively light, was broken into several petals.
Han Cheng bent down to pick up a piece and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
Different from the surface layer that has experienced wind and rain, the texture of the newly opened place is very clear.
It's really very clear, so clear that Han Cheng can find and see some bird inside!
What kind of stone is this! It's that I don't know how many years of old guano has been precipitated! It's going to turn to stone!
Holding this small stone in his hand, and then looking at the large surface around him and the many stones that were the same as the small stone he was holding in his hand, Han Cheng's mouth was grinning behind his ears, and his trouser belt was the same.
This is really a hair!
Holding the piece of bird drop in his hand, Han Cheng smirked for a while, then threw it to the ground and kicked it hard at the stone on the ground.
I didn't pay attention to this side before, and I didn't think there was anything, but now under this kick, I suddenly felt a difference.
These stones are really different from ordinary stones, and I feel a little 'weak' when I kick them.
The people of the Qingque tribe who learned from Han Cheng what these stones might be were all excited, and after planting the fields for a few years, they clearly understood the great significance of manure for farming.
At this time, he learned from Han Cheng that these stones might have been piled up from old bird droppings, how could he not be excited?
Without Han Chengduo's instructions, Senior Brother Sha and some others had already stabbed and smashed the stones on the ground with sticks, bronze ge, or bronze axes pinned to their waists.
After a short while, the stones in many places were smashed open, and after the surface layer was lifted, all that was revealed inside was guano that had fallen silent.
"Hahaha......"
This time, not only Han Cheng, but the rest of the people in the tribe also laughed heartily, extremely heartily.
This is truly an island full of treasures!
Looking at this island, Han Cheng's joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
When he first landed on the island, Han Cheng also thought about hiding tigers and leopards in the city, and the water Bo Liangshan where dragons gathered in the depression, and fantasized about whether he could build something on this island, but now, Han Cheng is not fantasizing at all, because there are too many guano on this island!
God knows how many birds once stopped here and left behind precious fertilizer.
Before he didn't get the fertilizer on the island, Han Cheng felt that it was better to live in this area first.
Of course, given the current number of people in the tribe, there is really no need to establish a settlement on this island.
In the future, at most, some thatched huts will be built for fishermen or lotus root diggers to live in temporarily.
After a short stay here, the group continued southward to the edge of the island.
"Hey~!"
Climbing up the rocks at the southern end, Han Cheng and the rest of the people shouted loudly towards the place where Wu and them were.
The man holding the flag waved vigorously and danced it.
"Look! See! There! ”
The people who were sitting on the slope on the shore of the lake heard the faint shouting, and then they all became excited when they saw the people standing on the rocks of the island.
The little pea jumped and jumped with joy.
"Hey~"
In the cheers, some people waiting on the shore also put their hands together, put them to their mouths, and shouted loudly in response, not to mention the cheerful energy.
Standing on the rocks at the southern end of the island, greeting the people on the shore, and staying here for a while, Han Cheng and the people in the tribe got down the rocks and began to return.
When I returned, I was familiar with the places I had walked and I felt less anticipation, so I felt that it took a lot less time than when I came.
After some walking, Han Cheng and the others returned to the large lotus pond, loaded the cleaned lotus roots into the back basket, and then walked along the beach on the north side towards the place where the raft docked.
On the beach, the old turtle basking in the sun is back on its stomach, and there are long-legged herons in the shallow water, waiting for the fish to swim around.
There are also some small short-legged birds, strolling along the water's edge.
After Han Cheng and the others appeared, it was inevitable that there would be another burst of birds and turtles.
In such an atmosphere, the group returned to the place where they landed.
The four rafts that were fastened there with ropes were all there, lying together with the gentle fluctuations of the lake's water.
Leaving twenty people here, Han Cheng and the other nine people boarded the raft, untied the ropes, pounded the penny on the shore, and pushed hard, the bamboo raft left the shore in turn and sailed into the lake.
Under the watchful eyes of those who remained on the island, the raft turned around in the lake and headed south of Wild Duck Lake.
After traveling a certain distance, the boat is put away, the oars are hung and the raft is rocked, and the raft pushes away the waves......
"Daddy!"
The little pea, who was held by the witch in one hand, shouted happily, and after Han Cheng got off the raft, he ran to Han Cheng's side even more upside down, rubbing his short hair head against Han Cheng's hand......
"There's lotus roots, a delicious thing, and there's guano on the island, lots and lots of them!"
Han Cheng said to Wu, Bai Xuemei and the others who were waiting here, and took out the lotus root that he had touched before to show everyone.
Looking at these white and tender, section-by-section lotus roots, thinking about the many guano that Han Cheng said, the people who stayed on the shore suddenly became excited, and they all wanted to go to the island to see these with their own eyes.
A new food, and a lot of guano that can be used to fertilize the fields, is the most beautiful scenery for the people of the Qingque tribe!
Han Cheng naturally agreed.
The situation on the island has been proven, and there is no danger except that if you go to the woods, you may be left with guano falling from the sky.
At this time, the weather is clear, the wind is smooth, there is no possibility of strong winds, and the rafting on the lake is very safe, which is a good time to go to the island.
After helping Wu carefully get on the raft, instructing the adults to hold all the children firmly and not allowing them to move, and tying the children and some weaker people to the original version of life jackets, and letting the people who did not row the raft sit on the raft, and did not dock to the shore and did not stand up, the four rafts started again......
