When the fruit is ripe, it is like a golden yellow string of beads, but unfortunately the taste is too sour to eat. The green leaves of the vine are large and abundant, and a lot of water is consumed every day. As a result, the roots of the ground stretch out in all directions, occupying large areas of soil, desperately collecting water to meet the water needs of the branches and leaves. In order to ensure the rapid delivery of water, there are hundreds of water "pipes" distributed in the old vines, and at any time, the "pipes" are filled with water sent by the roots. Cut off the old vines, not only can you see dense water holes on the section, but also clear water gurgling out from the holes. Hunters and foresters who are well aware of the water-storing properties of the vine cut off the old vines to quench their thirst when they could not find spring water.
