At this time, Wang Xiaotie was facing a difficult choice, whether to eat this beetle raw, or keep it, and wait until he found a place where he could set up camp and make a fire before eating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the final analysis, Wang Xiaotie was still a little reluctant to put this thing directly into his mouth. Knowing how to survive is not the same as really being able to do it, looking at this little insect struggling violently in his hands, Wang Xiaotie was really embarrassed.

Free captive animals? Just kidding, I finally caught a protein, how could I let it go? Lao Tzu is not a Buddha. But he couldn't swallow the worm directly like Bei Ye, and he felt disgusting to think about it.

It's also unrealistic to keep it, and if you kill the bugs, it is estimated that it will spoil in a few hours. It can be kept for a long time, but Wang Xiaotie is now difficult to protect himself, and he still has to keep a bug as a pet? Pull it down.

In the end, Wang Xiaotie opened his mouth wide, closed his eyes, and threw the poor little worm into his mouth.

Death is eternal, but people die but cannot be resurrected, and sometimes in order to live, people have to do many things that they cannot and do not want to do. For example, Wang Xiaotie ate this beetle raw, although he refused very much in his heart, but in order to survive, he had no choice.

"uh~vomit~uh~~"

Wang Xiaotie held on to a rock, forcibly enduring the churning vomiting sensation in his stomach, wanting to rely on his perseverance to suppress this strong discomfort.

After a long time, Wang Xiaotie returned to normal.

"Bah, bah~! This Nima is definitely the worst food in the world! Wang Xiaotie couldn't accurately describe the specific taste of the desert beetle, because all the sand in his mouth was chewing, uh~ It seemed that there was still a bit of stinky taste and a hint of saltiness.

According to the law of survival, any food obtained by Wang Xiaotie must be chewed carefully before it can be swallowed into the stomach, which can reduce the burden on the stomach and reduce the water and calories needed to digest food in disguise.

But Wang Xiaotie only chewed a few times, and he couldn't stand it anymore and swallowed it directly. Now he still felt a feeling of nausea in his heart, and he couldn't imagine why the chicken flavor that Bei Ye often described in his mouth, crunchy, had become such an unpalatable thing in his mouth.

It is estimated that Pei Ye, who lives at the top of the food chain, has evolved his taste buds to the point of embracing all things. And he is just a pink newcomer in the survival world.

Wang Xiaotie, who has experienced eating insects raw, plans not to be forced to do so, and will never learn to pretend to be bi from Bei Ye in the future. Now I still obediently become a vegetarian, and wait until I set up my own camp and build a fire among the returning meat-eating community.

Happily, there are still a lot of low pine trees here, and Wang Xiaotie has successfully collected a lot of pine nuts, and the most basic food problem has been solved. But the biggest dilemma he faces is still water.

In the desert, nothing is more important than water. When people stay in the desert, even if they don't walk or exercise, their bodies will sweat all the time. Hydration is urgent.

Wang Xiaotie looked at the smart watch on his wrist, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not continue to buy fresh water from the game store.

There is no point in doing that, and you will have to give more than you lose. Wang Xiaotie had to find another way to get water, instead of squandering the little time he had left like an idiot.

Small rivers and streams or something, that's no need to think about it, except for the sand around it is stones. If he didn't buy fresh water from a pit man's mall, Wang Xiaotie could only get water from the surrounding plants.

This is not something to be promoted, in the ecological environment of the entire earth, there are tens of thousands of plant species, and more than half of them are toxins. Humans can be sure that less than one-tenth of what can be eaten.

You can't be like an encyclopedic dictionary that memorizes all poisonous or non-poisonous plants, so choosing to eat plants you don't know is often a big risk.

This time, Wang Xiaotie focused his search on plants, hoping to find a plant that he knew and was juicy.

After an hour of searching, Wang Xiaotie finally found a very recognizable plant in the Gobi region.

Its scientific name is: purslane. Wang Xiaotie's impression of this plant comes from when he was a child. I remember that my family was very poor at that time, and before the summer, my mother would always go to the field to collect this thing, then copy it with boiling water, chop it up and eat dumplings.

In Wang Xiaotie's memory, his mother called purslane a lotus cabbage, which was picked a lot in summer, and could also be dried outdoors and then stored for a long time.

Purslane likes fertile soil, is resistant to drought and waterlogging, has strong vitality, and grows in vegetable gardens, farmlands, and roadsides, and is a common weed in the field. It is widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions of the world.

In fact, this wild vegetable is found almost all over the world, and there are traces of them almost wherever there is soil.

Purslane is rich in dihydroxylethylamine, malic acid, glucose, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C and other nutrients. Purslane has a prominent feature in nutrition, its omega-3 fatty acid content is higher than that of humans and plants. Omega-3 fatty acids can inhibit the absorption of bile solid acid by the human body, reduce blood cholesterol concentration, improve the elasticity of blood vessel walls, and are very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Purslane can be eaten raw or cooked, and its soft stems can be cooked like spinach. However, if you are not used to its strong taste, don't use too much. The leaves at the top of purslane stems are soft and can be cooked like watercress and can be used in soups or in sauces, mayonnaise, and stews. Purslane is cooked with crushed radish or mashed potatoes, or cooked with onions or tomatoes, and its stems and leaves can be eaten marinated in vinegar.

However, Wang Xiaotie was in the desert, and he couldn't eat so carefully, so he could only pick the tips of the leaves that looked very tender, and then put them directly in his mouth to chew.

To be honest, this wild vegetable doesn't taste good when eaten raw, with a sour taste that seems to be as hard to swallow as chewing grass roots. But the leaves do contain a lot of juice, and Wang Xiaotie can clearly feel the feeling of the thick juice flowing into his throat.

"I miss my mom a little bit." Wang Xiaotie was like a rabbit, eating a lot of purslane, and the unpalatable taste made him nostalgic for his childhood.

Only when you grow up will you understand that in this world, only the food cooked by your mother is the most fragrant.
