23, wild cucumber

"Roar~!"

Simba turned his head to look at his master, and after a moment's struggle, he walked over anyway.

The huge lion crawled at Zhao Yunxiang's feet, its amber eyes staring, helplessly accepting the caress of its master.

Simba seems to have run farther this time, and there is some black soil on its paws, which looks more like silt, you must know that Simba's territory is all dense forests and meadows, and there seems to be no water.

"Where have you been?" Zhao Yunxiang checked Simba's scars, his face was a little scratched, but it was not serious, and it did not affect his appearance at all.

"Roar ......" Simba was a little aggrieved, it seemed to have been ravaged by some group, it should have been pressed and rolled in the mud puddle, and there was a lot of dry mud stuck to its fur and mane.

This lion may have crossed the line, in nature, there is territory between animals, and if a male lion rashly runs to someone else's territory, his behavior is tantamount to provocation.

"You are also a master ......who likes to cause trouble," Zhao Yunxiang glanced at Simba's teeth and claws, which still had a piece of blood-stained fur on its claws, and it seemed that it had not suffered much.

This also made Zhao Yunxiang even more curious, what kind of world is it to go deep inland, and whether the human reinforced concrete world has been occupied by plants and animals.

......

The newly dug mud pit of the "Boom ......" became a drinking place for Simba and other beasts, and the mighty male lion licked the water and whimpered lowly.

Because the waterhole is surrounded by the smell of many other wild animals, such as some weasels and rodents.

The life of the male lion is quite comfortable, and after Simba has eaten and drunk enough, he will lie on the beach and play with the ball made of vines.

"Actually, I really want to lie down and do nothing, just make a salted fish, but unfortunately, reality doesn't allow it!"

After a little rest, Zhao Yunxiang began to work, if the plan did not change, then tomorrow he would set off for the Alpha Clan.

Zhao Yunxiang only has a grass skirt, because the palm leaves lack water, the grass skirt is a little sluggish, and many leaves fall from it.

Walking through the jungle in this form, you will not be killed by mosquito bites, and you will also be cut into a bloody person by the thorns of the branches.

Now he wanted to make a piece of clothing that would at least protect his skin, and the only thing he could use for miles was leaves.

Palm leaves are a good choice, as they can be used to make a coat that is refreshing and protects the skin.

In fact, Zhao Yunxiang misses clothes more, however, at the current level, cloth clothes can only be thought about.

There is still a wilting phalloidal needle grass hanging around the waist, and after this plant dries in the shade, the smell becomes extraordinarily strong, and the mosquito repellent effect is greatly enhanced.

The mosquitoes on the periphery of the dense forest basically did not dare to approach Zhao Yunxiang, of course, there were occasionally a few hungry female mosquitoes, and their end was to be blown up.

"Soso ......"

Pieces of palm leaves were cut by Zhao Yunxiang with a stone knife, which is a small piece of shell-shaped stone chips, which are generally angular and have a strong cutting force.

After the palm leaves are weaved, it should become a more ideal coat.

"Huh?"

Some harvests are often accidental, such as the calcite found in the coconut this morning, and Zhao Yunxiang seems to have made some discoveries when cutting and collecting palm leaves.

There seems to be a plant coiled around the palm tree, and this plant also bears fruit, and the fruit is like a common vegetable.

"Cucumbers?"

Zhao Yunxiang plucked the cucumber-like fruit, which resembled a miniature version of the cucumber, with a somewhat smooth body and small dried yellow flowers at the front.

This is indeed a cucumber, pale green in color, slightly translucent, and smells similar to the usual cucumber, however, this is only a wild cucumber.

On top of this green vine, there are three cucumbers, one of which is a little dry, and a dull "rustle" sound can be heard when it shakes slightly, which is caused by the collision of seeds and dried fruits.

Zhao Yunxiang's sub-vocational skill has a plant cultivation, which can greatly cultivate plants and increase their growth rate and evolution.

If there is one of the most perfect evolutions on earth, it is plants!

In the sea, in the water, in the desert, in the caves, there is almost no shortage of shadows of plants, these slow-growing plants have taken over the entire earth.

And, billions of years ago, plants were the first creatures to land from the sea.

"Maybe I can take these seeds and try to grow a new variety of cucumber. Zhao Yunxiang shook the dried cucumbers, and the other few were broken and sniffed.

Some fruits look very similar to vegetables, but their effects are very different, and many well-trained soldiers have died in the wild by ingesting poisonous mountain celery.

"Let's do an experiment first. Zhao Yunxiang first applied a small piece of cucumber juice to his lips, the skin of human lips is sensitive, and applying the irritating liquid will cause pinprick and burning pain.

This experiment is called the Edible Experiment!

The experiment was divided into three stages, the first stage was applied to the wrist, because the skin on the wrist was too thick, which Zhao Yunxiang directly ignored.

The second stage is to apply it to the lips, wait for a few minutes, and there is no burning discoloration on the lips, then you can put it under the base of the tongue and wait for a while.

This kind of experiment is more useful for trying unknown food, which Zhao Yunxiang saw on the survival show.

The cucumber-like juice has been attached to the lips for a few minutes, and the fresh-smelling juice has long since dried up, and the lips do not feel any discomfort, but feel a little refreshed.

"It should be non-toxic...... Zhao Yunxiang broke a small piece of cucumber again and put it under the base of his tongue, trying not to swallow, and analyzing the taste of cucumber with his taste buds.

It's a little sweet, it's cool, and maybe a little vinegar would be nice......

After a few minutes, Zhao Yunxiang was already gnawing on the cucumber, and he was sure that the vegetable was non-toxic.

[Congratulations to the host for experimenting with edibility, your wisdom is increased by 1 point......]

"Oh, I've added my IQ!" Zhao Yunxiang said vaguely, and at the same time handed a cucumber that looked like a crystal to Han Xuening, "Try it, it tastes pretty good, it's quite suitable for shooting cucumbers." ”

"???" Han Xuening took the cucumber, showed her little tiger teeth and began to gnaw, "Hmm, it's so crispy, it's so fresh!"

"I have seeds here, let's plant some when we go back, and we can eat them as a main course. As a rural person, Zhao Yunxiang naturally grew cucumbers.

The garden is full of trellises, and after watering, cucumbers grow long in just one night.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, the feeling of leisurely seeing Nanshan seems to be quite good. Zhao Yunxiang wiped his mouth and glanced at the vast sea, "It seems that I have to be a person who develops agriculture, industry and animal husbandry in this world." ”
