Chapter 99: Wild Boar Incense and Woodpecker Incense
"I'm tired!"
Ah Feng sat down on the ground and gasped: "Go ahead, put the backpack here, I'll be responsible for watching!"
"Hmph, you kid is really embarrassed by our Miao people!"
Daddy Diao saw that Ah Feng, a local, was actually not as good as an outsider? snorted coldly: "Don't be idle, it's getting dark soon, you pick up more dry firewood nearby, light a bonfire, and let's camp here at night." ”
After speaking, he turned around and began to look for agarwood, Ling Yuxin instructed the bodyguards: "You help Ah Feng with the work, and then set up the tent and prepare dinner." ”
Then he looked back at Wen Yiming and said with a smile: "In this way, let's compare who can find agarwood?"
Wen Yiming smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Ling Yuxin to have an innocent and lively side, nodded in agreement, and the two acted separately and began to look for clues nearby.
"Can you compare to me?"
Wen Yiming laughed as he walked, if he said that in the face of the whole mountain, the sense of smell would definitely be useless, after all, the range was too large. But once you lock a small range, it's not your own world!
Taking a deep breath, countless information enters the nasal cavity, which is worthy of the primeval forest, with the fragrance of grass, flowers, and trees, all kinds of wonderful things hitting like a tide.
Wen Yiming's face is full of enjoyment, walking in nature, the mood is comfortable, as if returning to his hometown, the mood is floating with the wind, people seem to be floating in the air, and the whole area is seen from a bird's eye view.
"There's a discovery!"
Suddenly, a trace of strange fragrance came, Wen Yiming's expression was slightly shocked, and with the fragrance went straight to the target, he soon came to a big incense tree, the diameter was very thick, almost one person hugged him, and the fragrance came from here.
"It's ......"
Wen Yiming searched carefully, and sure enough, he found a small piece of black agarwood near the root of the tree, almost three centimeters thick, and the area was not small.
He took out the dagger and carefully cut it, weighing at least forty or fifty grams by hand, and the surface was rough, and there seemed to be some small unknown hairs on it.
"Could it be the scent of wild boar?"
Wen Yiming put the agarwood close to his nose, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Yes, it's the fragrance of wild boar!"
Put the harvest into the backpack and continue to search, there are many ways for fragrant trees to make incense in nature, such as the wind, that is, the wind blows through the forest, and the trees are damaged and fragrant.
Of course, there are many other ways, such as wild boars, which like to rest under trees and rub their bodies against the trunks by the way. One is to tickle and be comfortable, and the other is to protect yourself.
Some wild boars are very clever and specifically look for trees that have a fragrance and can produce oil to rub, such as pine trees, which will produce pine resin, and in the long run, they will form thick armor on their bodies, which is considered body armor.
Someone once saw a big boar of more than 300 pounds, and it was useless to hit it with a shotgun, and later learned that other wild boars also have bulletproof vests, which come by rubbing against trees.
The incense tree is naturally one of their favorites, and it is obvious that this hundred-year-old incense tree has been rubbed by many wild boars, and after the skin is broken, it finally bears incense. In Wen Yiming's opinion, the taste is very unique, there is a kind of animal body odor residue, which is unique.
After a good start, he was in a good mood, and this feeling of picking up leaks in the field was very refreshing, which made him full of energy. I continued to search, and sure enough, I found another one.
When I came to another incense tree, I looked up at the place more than two meters high, there was a small hole, and it was black inside, there must be incense.
Wen Yiming put down his backpack, bit the dagger with his mouth, and began to climb the tree. After a few times to the entrance of the cave, the fragrance overflowed, and he quickly used a dagger to cut incense inside.
"Haha, this time it's woodpecker!"
It took more than 20 minutes to take out the agarwood in the hole, there are big and small, it is estimated that there are more than 30 grams in total, the shape is not as neat as the wild boar incense, there are many small materials, and there are many small holes on it.
"This is a hole made by a woodpecker, and after many years, it is made of incense, and it is better than nothing!"
Wen Yiming used a plastic bag to put away the woodpecker incense, although both of them are not high-quality, but they are also picked up by hand, the meaning is different, and the feeling is naturally different.
It was getting dark, and after an hour or so, and there was no other harvest nearby, he turned back to the camp, where everyone had returned, the campfire was lit, and several tents were all set up.
"How was it? How did you feel in the mountains for the first time?"
Ah Feng came to rest, saw Wen Yiming coming back, and said with a smile: "You people in the city rarely have this kind of experience, right? Don't look at the forest during the day, it's time to start being lively at night!"
He deliberately pretended to be frightened to scare everyone: "Animals will come out to forage for food, poisonous snakes, wolves, bears, blind bears, and even tigers, are you afraid?"
"you kid!"
Father Diao happened to come out of his tent, and when he heard Ah Feng's words, he scolded with a smile: "What kind of messy things? Have you ever slept in the mountains? Don't listen to his nonsense!"
"Dad, ...... you" Ah Feng was suddenly deflated and complained: "It's true that I haven't slept before, but I've also heard the old people in the family talk about it, can't you just joke?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, the atmosphere became relaxed, Diao Lao Dad walked to the bonfire, and said with a rare smile: "The mountains are very dangerous, there are often wild beasts, but here is very safe, do you know why?"
Seeing that everyone was curious, he pointed to a valley not far away, and said, "Because it's the Miasma Valley!"
"Miasma?"
Ah Feng was shocked, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Wouldn't it? Could it be a poisonous miasma......?
"Don't be noisy!" Daddy Diao glared and scolded: "You kid is really ashamed, the big girl is not afraid yet, what are you afraid of?"
He walked up to everyone, pointed to the somewhat foggy valley, and explained: "I have dealt with the mountains all my life, and I have seen many such places, which are shrouded in miasma all year round for various reasons, and there is no grass nearby, even snakes, insects, rats and ants can't avoid it.
"But this kind of place also has an advantage, it is most suitable for camping overnight, there is a big gas bomb around, no beast dares to come, everyone can sleep in peace, light a bonfire, and even people on night duty don't need it!"
So that's the case, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder why Diao's father spent the night here, he was really experienced. Ling Yuxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she was a girl, she was afraid of rats and poisonous snakes, if she ran into the tent, how disgusting!
It was finally dark, everyone was tired and hungry after a day of walking, they took out food or ate, and the three bodyguards carried a lot of delicious food, and the first meal was also hearty.
Ah Feng picked up a chicken leg and asked while eating, "Dad, did you have a harvest just now?"
"Nonsense, do you think agarwood is everywhere?
Daddy Diao couldn't help but kick Ah Feng, it's really a pot that can't be opened, it's only been a few hours since I arrived here, who can find agarwood so quickly?
Wen Yiming took out the wild boar incense from his backpack and said with a smile: "Daddy Diao, I have made some discoveries, can you take a look?"
