Chapter 8 The Gift of Nature in the Jungle

Behind a small grove of redwoods is a trickling stream, where a few dead redwoods lie on the water, and large patches of wild fungus grow on the damp wood.

On the shallows on both sides of the stream, there were unexpectedly several tall long-spike plants, full of flowers, and many mountain bees waved their wings and buzzed around.

Jin Xiaolou almost cried with joy, lowered his head and kissed Scale'er's face deeply, and said to the baby who couldn't speak: "Scale, we are so lucky!" ”

When I looked up, I followed the fluttering bees and saw the translucent orange honey condensed on the rock wall on the other side of the stream.

She came to find these rock bees on purpose, when she was engaged in scientific research in the past, there was a sudden rainstorm, which washed away the mountain road, and she and the members of the scientific research team were trapped in the mountains for half a month, and they survived by the honey of these rock bees.

On the edge of the cliff near the water source, there are often mountain bees nesting in the rock crevices of the cliffs, and honey will flow down the rock crevices, which is a good thing with high protein and nutrition.

Jin Xiaolou came to find it specifically for Scales.

She can try her best to eat enough, but Scales needs milk, and she has no milk, although she knows that some babies are allergic to honey, but she wants to give it a try, if Scales can eat these honeys, it will solve the biggest problem that Jin Xiaolou is currently facing.

However, what Jin Xiaolou didn't expect was that God favored her extraordinarily, in addition to honey, there were so many fungus here, and what surprised her even more was that the long spike plants growing in the shallows were wild rice!

She has been engaged in scientific research for so long, and has spent three years specializing in the study of hybrid rice, to make rice grow well, the most important thing is to choose a good male sterile plant, and wild rice is born male sterile plant.

As long as she gets these wild rice seeds and brings them back to the village and the rice for artificial pollination and breeding in the village, Jin Xiaolou believes that in less than two years, she can increase the rice yield of the entire village of Jingshui Village tenfold!

Jin Xiaolou found a clean and smooth stone around and put Lin'er down, and pulled a large piece of fresh lotus leaves to cover Lin'er, carefully covering the sunlight and mosquitoes for him.

Then he got up and picked up a large bundle of dead branches and walked towards the cliff.

The nests of rock bees are much larger than those of ordinary bees, three or four in a row, and they hang upside down in a fan-shaped shape on the high part of the steep cliff. A few vines hung down from the top of the cliff.

Jin Xiaolou threw the dead branches at will, climbed the rock with his bare hands and climbed up a meter high, grabbed a vine and pulled it down, although the vine was not thick, fortunately, Jin Xiaolou was malnourished all year round and was born thin, but he could bear her weight.

But she didn't climb up from this, Jin Xiaolou jumped off the ground and felt a thumb-thick bamboo knot from his arms.

The mouth of the bamboo was covered with a small wooden cover, and when the wooden cover was opened, Jin Xiaolou lowered his head and blew lightly inside, and after a while, a burst of green smoke came out, mixed with scattered sparks.

This small bamboo knot is the simplest fire fold, the day before yesterday Jin Xiaolou suffered the loss of the fire, remembering that in modern times, I had been to a museum, that time in one of the exhibition halls of the museum just exhibited the evolution of the fire, Jin Xiaolou has seen the introduction of the fire fold, her memory has always been very good, she can remember it if she has seen it.

In the morning, when she had a moment to spare, she went to the small bamboo grove behind the house to cut a piece of bamboo, and took advantage of the fact that Gong quietly took a large stack of straw paper, rolled it tightly and stuffed it into the bamboo, lit it with flint and steel, and then blew it out, and covered it with a specially made cover to ventilate.

This fire fold is made every time the lid is used up, and the next time you have to open the lid and blow it gently, there will be a spark, and the straw paper in the bamboo can be reused to burn it out.

In this way, Jin Xiaolou no longer has to worry about making a fire every time.

Jin Xiaolou piled up the dead branches in one place, lit them with the fire fold, and wisps of green smoke rose up, smoking straight towards the beehive on the cliff wall.

The bees in the nest were so dazed by the smoke that they came out of the nest to hide.

After about half a pillar of incense, Jin Xiaolou saw that the green smoke was getting smaller, rolled up his sleeves, and finally climbed to the top of the cliff.

Although most of the bees were smoked away, when Jin Xiaolou took the honey, his bare arms and ankles were still stung by bees.

It's red and swollen, and it's scary to look at.

Jin Xiaolou picked up the scales, wrapped the lotus leaf that had covered the child before, wrapped the honey cube and stuffed it into his arms, and pulled some herbs to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

She didn't rush to apply the medicine, put the medicine and honey together, glanced at the wild rice by the stream, and turned her head to walk out of the mountain forest.

……

When I returned to Jingshui Village, the twilight had already entered the green peak, and the sunset reflected the shadow of the fine willow branches in front of the door.

There was a lot of harmony and happiness in every house, but there were bursts of miserable cries from home......

As soon as Jin Xiaolou pushed the door in, the figure in front of him flickered, and a stinky clay figure came to her in front of her, Jin Xiaolou was startled, she was holding scales in her arms, for fear that the person in front of her would hurt the child, so she subconsciously raised her foot and kicked it, but with just a slight force, she kicked the person to the ground.

The mud monkey on the ground cried and turned around, revealing a small face with hazy teary eyes, which turned out to be Jin Xiaofeng.
