Chapter 66: What's the Use of This Thing?
They didn't pick many chestnuts because of the wasps, but they didn't dare to provoke the hornets anymore, so they had to change places and go around and go back to the tree they had beaten before.
Maybe it's because no one wants it, the last time they hit it was still under the tree, they first picked up the ones on the ground, and then they beat the sticks to knock down the trees.
This time she didn't dare to go around, who knows if that madman would hide somewhere and stare at her, thinking about it like this, Shen Xiaoxiao instantly felt goosebumps.
Being stared at all day long, who doesn't respond to this.
Originally, they thought that they could pick it up smoothly, but they didn't think that there was an accident, and the familiar "buzzing" sound sounded, and Shen Xiaoxiao took a look, good guys, a swarm of bees were eyeing them overhead.
Numb, isn't it suitable to go out today? Why are there bees everywhere, they didn't come last time, and it's only been a few days, and there are swarms of bees waiting for them?
Fortunately, bees are not poisonous, but it hurts to sting people.
I have to find a way to drive them away, if it keeps going like this, they don't want to pick it, and seeing that their bee colony is so big, there must be a hive, Shen Xiaoxiao came up with the idea of honey.
"Run." Shen Xiaoxiao shouted, although this thing is not poisonous, but it hurts to sting, and after shouting, he ran quickly, "Put the thing here first, and come back to get it later." She shouted as she ran.
The others reacted and ran, after all, they didn't want to be stung a second time, and this feeling was really uncomfortable.
A group of people scattered and ran, and Xiao Yan followed closely by Shen Xiaoxiao's side, pulling her through the forest quickly, and did not stop until the bees were thrown away.
Shen Xiaoxiao leaned against the tree, panting heavily, while Xiao Yan was calm, which had no effect on him, after all, they often chased their prey when hunting, and this point distance was nothing to him.
After relieving themselves, they walked back, and Shen Xiaoxiao was in the mood to look around, no, just like that, she found something good for her, "Xiao Yan, go over and take a look." She pointed to the front right.
She stopped when she walked to a cluster of green plants, the leaves were lanceolate, glabrous, sessile, spike-like inflorescences. She bent down and plucked one, the rhizome was not fat, she pinched it with her hand, and the juice immediately burst out.
"What are you doing digging this stem?"
"Do you know what this is?" Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, she didn't see ginger in the tribe, could it be that she missed it?
"Raw stems, the witch doctor picked them before." "However, we don't like the taste, we think it's a little pungent, and we don't like to eat it." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao reacted immediately, knowing that the witch doctor might be used for medicine.
"This can be eaten, used for seasoning, or boiled ginger tea to get cold." He added, "The witch doctor may be used for medicine, if you catch a cold, you can cook a bowl of ginger tea to ward off the cold, and drink a bowl of ginger tea in winter, and the whole person will be warm." ”
"Help me pull it up first."
The two of them quickly plucked the more than a dozen ginger plants, separated the leaves from the ginger, each of them took a few and walked back, and when they returned, the others also returned, but they did not dare to act rashly anymore, and carefully put the shells on the ground into the basket.
Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "You go and find a dead wood and come back, and we will drill wood to make fire and drive them away." ”
"Okay." Soon they found the dead wood, Shen Xiaoxiao handed the sharpened wooden stick to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan squatted down, rubbing the wooden stick with both hands, and soon a small hole was drilled into the wood.
After a long time, smoke began to rise from the wood, and some people took some dead leaves to the side and tried to start a fire, but they did not succeed, and after a while, sparks were ignited on the wood, and they set the dead leaves on fire, and soon a fire was ignited.
Shen Xiaoxiao lit the tied wooden stick on the fire, and then tied it to a small tree that was still wet, and soon the smoke rose, and then the small tree was pushed to the place where the hive was, but thinking that there might be honey, it was not directly hit on the hive, and after a while, the sound of "buzzing" sounded again, and a group of bees flew out, and even fell down.
However, they did not dare to come closer, and hid behind the tree until the bees had flown away, and then took the little tree down.
Xiao Yan quickly climbed to the tree, and quickly picked off a huge beehive, there were even bee chrysalis in it, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that they must have built a nest on it a long time ago, last time they were lucky not to hit them, otherwise they would have been chased and stung last time.
"Goddess, what do you want this thing for?"
"This is honey, you can eat it."
The others didn't believe it, and Shen Xiaoxiao continued, "It's very sweet." "You don't need to look at anything else, just look at the honey on Xiao Yan's hands, just smell it and smell it.
Shen Xiaoxiao dipped his hand a little and licked it, "You can try it." ”
The others were a little hesitant, but they still couldn't resist their curiosity, and after a little bit of trying, everyone's eyes widened, it was really sweet, sweeter than sweet fruit.
"Goddess, this is delicious."
"Yes, but it's a little greasy to eat like this, and it's used to flush and drink, you can try it when you go back."
Hearing her say this, they instantly excitedly said, "Goddess, we don't want it, give it to you." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "This is a good thing, and everyone got it together, and you also have your share." ”
"Goddess, we don't want it." They hurriedly waved their hands.
Shen Xiaoxiao twisted her eyebrows a little puzzled, thinking that she didn't understand it to them, and told them about this role again, but after listening to it, they still firmed up their thoughts and insisted on giving this hive to her, even Erya was no exception, although her expression looked very reluctant, but after all, she didn't say anything.
Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but Xiao Yan stopped her, "Goddess, let's go pick up chestnuts." They thought the chestnuts sounded better than the thorn fruit they shouted, so they shouted chestnuts together.
Shen Xiaoxiao found a few large leaves to wrap the beehive, and followed them to pick up the chestnuts, and when they were almost done, the males began to fight again, and did not stop until the baskets they brought were full.
Seeing that it was not early, the group rushed back, and Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to help them share a little, but they were all refused, so she had to follow them back with the hive.
She was really embarrassed, except for all of her who had something in their hands, and those who didn't take chestnuts went back with a bundle of firewood, and she was the only one who didn't do any heavy work.
"Goddess, do you want to take a break?" They knew that the goddess could not walk for as long as they did, so they would ask her often.
"No, do you want to take a break?" Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, how could she be embarrassed to rest so many times when she traveled lightly, and these people who were carrying things hadn't said anything.
"We don't, goddess, if you feel tired, tell us, we'll rest and we'll go again."
"Okay."
Xiao Yan walked beside her with a chestnut and said, "If you feel tired, you can rest and walk again." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "No, I'm not so squeamish." "Although it is true that her physical strength is not as good as theirs, she is not weaker to this extent.
