Chapter Sixty-Nine: Sour Thorn Wild Fruit

Huperzia serpenta, a genus of Huperzia, is a common fern in the subtropics.

In addition, Jiang Liuer also saw some other ferns at his feet.

For example, the main stem is vine-shaped, woody, and usually reddish-brown at the base; leaves of the lower part of the main stem drill-lanceolate, membranous, grayish-white; The leaves on the upper part of the main stem are small, green, and thickly leathery, and the sporophylls are broadly ovate, and the apex is acute, belonging to the genus Lycopodaceae, and is also a common plant in the tropics and subtropics.

There are also more common contemporary stem creeping growth, the appearance looks about a foot long, the main axis is multi-branched, the branches are often born, the spore leaf spike usually has two and grows at the end of the branchlet dark green cypress, belonging to the family of cypress, the genus of cypress.

……

But none of these things seem to be edible.

In addition to some vegetables, there are only mushrooms and some wild fruits, these ferns, without absolute guarantees, Jiang Liu'er does not dare to eat them rashly.

Sighing helplessly, Jiang Liu'er walked towards the depths of the forest again.

Walking past the gravel on the edge of the cliff, there were some low bushes with small golden and green wild fruits, the size of a grain of rice, but not enough to fill your teeth from the size of the cliff.

However, Jiang Liu'er was overjoyed when he saw this scene, he had seen this kind of small fruit in his hometown, commonly known as sour prickly plum, and no one would generally treat it as food in his hometown, because it was particularly sour, and the body size was too small, less than the size of rice grains and wheat, and there was no feeling in eating a handful of stomachs, but it was enough to sour a circle of teeth.

But for Jiang Liuer, because of the special environment, talking is better than nothing, so he can't manage so much.

Jiang Liu'er first carefully picked a small golden fruit that looked ripe from the small thorny branch in front of him, looked at it carefully a few times, and even squeezed out some yellow juice with his right thumb and index finger, wiped it on his finger, and sniffed it, the sour smell made Jiang Liu'er surprised and delighted.

While frowning, there is more joy in my heart to rekindle hope.

On this deserted and unfamiliar desert island, for some reason, even such a small little thorn fruit, the sour taste makes people frown, but it ignites the almost dry heart of Jiang Liu'er, who was decadent before.

This sour thorn fruit, which is less than the size of a grain of rice, represents hope.

The small fruit that squeezed out the yellow juice in his hand looked a little shriveled at this time, and the small mouth at the stalk of the fruit was still slowly oozing juice, but for some reason, Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but get wet in his eyes, and slowly put the little yellow fruit close to the tip of his tongue, and at the moment when the tip of his tongue touched the thorn fruit, the sour taste that penetrated into his bones made him feel shocked.

The sour smell from beginning to end, like an initiation, instantly refreshed the whole body, and the indescribable sour taste exploded like a grenade in the mouth, stimulating Jiang Liuer's taste buds and salivary glands, just like there is an idiom that Wangmei quenches her thirst, but Jiang Liuer really tasted the sour taste this time, and the resulting saliva also slightly relieved the feeling of thirst.

It seems that this is the kind of sour thorn fruit that Jiang Liu'er saw in her hometown, yes.

Time is precious, and Jiang Liuer didn't plan to pick them off and eat them one by one, but chose a method that saves physical strength and time.

When the flower can be folded, it must be folded.

He directly broke off a thick branch of the small yellow fruit that grew more luxuriantly at the place where the sour thorn fruit of the shrub was close to the root, and then carried it in his hand, and while picking the small thorn fruit one by one and sending it to his mouth, he was satisfied to find the gap in the bush and walked towards the depths of the jungle.
