Chapter 173: Urgently looking for blood tonics
In addition to continuing to clean up these mutated hair grasses, the rest of the people also began to prepare meals, eating is the foundation of survival, and there is nothing left to think about when they are hungry. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was busy, Tian Qiumin sent someone to invite Su Man again.
followed the correspondent into the watchhouse where Tian Qiumin was, and Tian Qiumin hurriedly responded: "Xiao Su, thanks to your four-leaf clover team last night, can you tell me what's going on?" β
Su Man nodded: "Actually, we didn't notice it at first, but I slept relatively lightly, and then I felt some pain in the soles of my feet, and I woke up when I felt abnormal, but I didn't expect to see the mutated hair grass sucking blood."
Tian Qiumin nodded: "I still ate that hair grass before the end of the world, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful after the mutation."
"Because it's too thin, I don't feel it at all when I dig into it, if I don't wake up a little, I'm afraid I really can't find it, but fortunately, most people are fine, but some people are a little anemic."
Tian Qiumin said again: "Yes! That's why I arranged to rest for another night, and there is another purpose for calling Xiao Su for you to come."
"Commander Tian, please speak"
"Can you let your team take on a second mission?" Tian Qiumin asked tentatively slightly.
"Let's talk about the mission first!"
"According to the report of the scientific research institute, there should be a Tibetan Polo flower near here, and I would like to ask your four-leaf clover team to bring the flowers back."
"What is this Tibetan Polo flower for? Is there an illustrated book? Su Man hurriedly asked, at this time, he proposed to let him take the task, what special role should this flower have.
Tian Qiumin called the people around him to bring a picture and handed it to Su Man and said: "This is the general appearance of Tibetan Polo flowers, after all, a lot of information is not complete, these are drawn according to the style, there are some contents marked by the personnel of the scientific research institute below, Xiao Su, you take a look first"
Su Man took the hand-drawn illustrated book, although it was not very good. But it can be seen in general, and there are detailed hints underneath.
Tibetan Polo flower is a dwarf perennial root herb of the Asteraceae family.
It is generally born in alpine sandy meadows and gravel cushion shrubs on mountain slopes at an altitude of 3600-5000 meters, and is light-loving, cold-tolerant and barren. It is an alpine flower.
Morphological characteristics: short stem, inflorescence is peanut at the tip, corolla purplish-red. There are also rare parts that are pink, and the corolla tube is orange. The roots of the plant can be used medicinally.
Tibetan flowers, about 10-20 cm high, stemless.
The roots are fleshy, and the leaves are born at the base and spread flat on the ground, which are pinnate compound leaves.
The apical leaflets are oval to rounded and broad. The top of the leaf is round or blunt, the base is heart-shaped, the lateral leaflets are 2-5 pairs, the shape is oval, the leaflet surface is relatively rough, with a vesicular bulge, blunt teeth, and there is no petiole nearby.
The flowers are solitary or 3-6 and grow on a shortened peduncle in the leaf axils. The calyx is bell-shaped and glabrous, and the calyx has about 5 calyx teeth, all of which are not of equal size. The calyx teeth are slightly smooth.
The corolla is slender and funnel-shaped, the crown tube of the corolla is orange-yellow, and the round corolla lobes are spreading.
Stamens 4-petaled. Born at the base of the corolla tube, the anthers are born in a T-shape, with a needle-like distance at the base of the septum, a film texture, and a longitudinal cracking of the chamber.
The stigma of the pistil is held by anthers and extends far beyond the corolla, the stigma is fan-shaped, also film-shaped, and the two pieces are dehisced.
The capsule is born near woody and is curved or crescent-shaped, with four edges with sharp tips and a light brown color, with 2 lobes dehisced. The seeds are 2-rowed, oval, convex below, concave above, slightly black, with inconspicuous finely toothed wings and scales.
Efficacy: The root of Tibetan Polo flower can be used as medicine, the taste is warm and sweet, nourishing and strong, and it can treat symptoms such as long-term illness and weakness, dizziness and anemia.
After reading the final effect, Su Man understood the purpose of finding the Tibetan Polo flower, and nodded: "I roughly understand, but is there a diagram of the general direction of this flower?" None of our team members have been here before, I'm afraid it's a needle in a haystack to find this flower! β
"We've thought of these too," Tian Qiumin took out another instruction map.
"It's a simple map with a few main locations"
"Okay, then we'll take over this mission, but I don't know if there's anything else here, if we don't come back today......"
I took the map and looked at it, the location marked is about 200 kilometers away from here, even if you count the road alone, it will take about 5 hours to go back and forth, not to mention that this flower can not be seen when you arrive, it must still need to be found.
"You don't have to worry about this, Xiao Su, we also have to have physical strength if we want to leave here, so many people are weak and weak, I'm afraid we have to wait until you come back before we can leave!"
After receiving Tian Qiumin's assurance, Su Man took the map and illustrated book and returned to the watchhouse where the team lived.
"Manman, why did the official call you again?" As soon as she entered the room, Xuan Yu'er was the first to ask.
"What else can I do, ask about last night's situation, and assign us a task!" Su Man shook the two pieces of paper in his hand and said.
"What kind of mission? Show me."
Xuan Yu'er said as she took two pieces of paper from Su Man's hand, and after spreading them out, everyone also came over!
"Vine, what is this? Looking for flowers? This flower is very beautiful, but when is this, and are you still in the mood to look at the flowers? Xuan Yu'er asked with a cursory glance.
Su Man helplessly pointed to the effect of the last line and said: "Yu'er, I'm really speechless, you look carefully, look at the last line"
"Oh! Efficacy: The root of Tibetan Polo flower can be used as medicine, the taste is warm and sweet, nourishing and strong, and it can treat symptoms such as long-term illness and weakness, dizziness and anemia. It turned out to be a blood-replenishing herb! Then it dawned on me.
"Although many people were not in danger of life yesterday, but suddenly being drained of so much blood is always weaker, and even half of this journey has not been completed, you don't want to rely on a few of us to survive, right? I'm tired and tired, so let's go early and come back early! β
Su Man handed the map to Pi Jun and Mu Caochen: "Brother Pi, Cao Chen, you two study the map, and the others come to recognize this flower, in case you find it along the way, we can also collect it early."
After assigning the task, Pi Jun and Mu Caochen took the map and compass and walked outside to compare the direction with the location shown on the map.
Others are anxious to hide the shape of the Polo flower in the house.
After a while, Pi Jun and Mu Caochen returned, and everyone went out of the house and walked towards the team's car.
The "Night Team" saw that the people of the Night Phantom Lin team were near the car, and Su Man shouted.
"Captain Suman, where are you going?"
"Go on a mission, you guys go to the watchhouse of our team and rest first, we won't be able to come back for a while"
"Oh, then you have to be careful" After Night Phantom Lin finished talking to Su Man, he beckoned his men to go to the watchhouse.
"Dad, why don't you go and rest here with Night Phantom Lin?" Su Man said when he saw that his father Su Yuantong also came out.
"It's okay, I'm not tired, besides, I can help"
"Oh well! But you can be careful when you go out later" Su Man originally wanted Su Yuantong to rest, but since Su Yuantong asked to go to Su Man, he agreed, after all, letting his father participate in some actual battles is also good for survival in the future.
In the past two days, Su Yuantong has been supplemented with mountain spring water, and he will gradually improve his physique, but actual combat is also very necessary, just like a theoretical expert who doesn't know anything when he actually operates, it is no different from not understanding.
After driving the car and getting two more barrels of gasoline and some fast food, everyone drove according to the directions shown on the map.
According to the place marked on the map, it should be in the AB Autonomous Prefecture, start from GZ Autonomous Prefecture and go northeast, enter the national 318 road and then walk about 30 kilometers into the provincial highway.
The road was still sparsely populated, and there were no zombies, let alone any living creatures, and the two cars drove forward rapidly, and the flat place looked bare at a glance, not to mention any plants.
Driving quickly towards AB Autonomous Prefecture, the team without driving took turns closing their eyes and resting, leaving two people at a time to observe the surrounding situation.
Since there was no delay on the road, the car only took 2 and a half hours to reach the destination.
"Vine, this is the mountain, how can I find that Tibetan Poro flower?" After the car stopped, Xuan Yu'er poked her head out of the pickup and asked.
"I guess this flower should be in this mountainous area, let's get off the car and hike! I guess I'm going to climb the mountain," said Su Man, who opened the door and walked down.
After everyone got out of the car, Su Man put the car away.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the terrain and landform structure here are very complex, the valleys are staggered, the mountains and rivers in front of you, the towering snow-capped mountains, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, if it is not for the slightly gloomy sky, this place is really beautiful.
Finding a place that seemed to have a gentle slope, Su Man began to climb with his bare hands.
The rest of the team also followed and climbed up, climbing to a platform, Su Man looked around as far as his eyes could see, and suddenly pointed to a recessed valley and said: "The valley over there is full of colorful flowers, maybe there are Tibetan Polo flowers we want."
"Well, it's likely, but it's still some distance from that valley! Why don't we go down and drive over? Zuo Ning suggested.
Su Man shook his head: "You can see the location here, if you go down, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find, and if you don't get it, you will get lost."
Thinking of the previous experience from Lingxi Snow Mountain, Su Man said with a lot of understanding.
"Then let's go over here?" Zuo Ning looked at a linear mountain range connected to another mountain, and said uncertainly.
"Well, we do have to run through here."
This linear section of the mountain range is not long, but the road is narrow, and due to the influence of the wind from the passing valley, this short section is still a bit difficult to run.
"I'll go first, I'll pull the rope to fix it"
As he spoke, he turned out a piece of rope, handed one end to Pi Jun, and held the other end in his hand: "Brother Pi, you hold here, after they all come over in a while, I will come over to help you pull the rope"
Pi Jun nodded, and then said: "Sister, be careful"
"No problem" After saying that, Su Man took the rope and trotted towards the linear mountain range.
