Hiding in the mountains to watch the end of the world

An Huaize and the two went back, went out after breakfast, and asked Uncle Da Gen to pass on a message for them, if anyone came looking for them, they would come back tonight.

"Shall we go to Dongmianpo first?" An Huaize didn't know where it was.

Dongmianpo is at the head of the village. Zhao Mian led An Huaize out of the village, pointing to the surrounding mountains, "Over there is Dazhou Ridge, opposite is Xiaozhou Mountain. We can't see Xiaozhou Mountain now, Dazhou Mountain Next to the ridge is Wuling Mountain, and on the opposite side are Xiaoling Mountain and Xiaowu Mountain, all of which can enter the mountain, and the east slope is in front of Wuling Mountain."

An Huaize nodded and took a look. The east slope was still far away, and many fields had to be crossed.

An Huaize chuckled, "Isn't Zhou Pei afraid of carnivores coming down the east slope of Wuling Mountain?"

Zhao Mian also didn't know what to say about Zeng Pei, "So, he probably knows a lot."

However, Zeng Pei probably wouldn't say anything unless they stabbed the village chief, but it's better not to say it, so as not to get resentment from others.

Zhao Mian hasn't been to Dongmianpo's side since he came back.

There is a small forest here, which is not big, and there is a small bamboo forest, which is not big, and the rest is full of weeds.

After going up the slope, An Huaize's eyes lit up, "This is indeed a new medicine."

An Huaize squatted down and picked a small root of purslane, "purslane has the effect of detoxifying and reducing swelling, but its effect is not great. It needs to be used with other herbs to assist the effect. I also pulled some back in the village. The ones here are different, the purslane here has changed, and there are other things added.”

An Huaize said, "It seems that the detoxification effect has been greatly enhanced, and other effects such as quenching thirst and diuresis seem to have disappeared. And just like cinnamon, it can be used as the main drug, or even used alone."

An Huaize broke off some leaves and smelled them, "The leaves have a calming effect, but no detoxification effect."

Zhao Mian narrowed his eyes, Ozawa could judge the pharmacology at once without experimenting.

Is it... There are other abilities?Like him, evolved?Is it because of exposure to more medicinal materials?

An Huaize took a look at the rhizome, "The rhizome and the leaves have completely different medicinal effects and do not interfere with each other. The rhizome has a detoxifying effect and can be taken internally and applied externally."

An Huaize took out his notebook, wrote it down, and then stood up, "Brother Mian, do you want Xiao Chen to come over and help me pick some, I want to take them back to dry, some have already set seeds, so we need to hurry up."

Some purslane had seeds, An Huaize looked at it, but it didn't have any effect, it was amazing.

"Wuling Mountain is not very safe here, I'll go and have a look." Zhao Mian felt something peeping here, he was worried that Xiao Chen and the others would come over frequently.

An Huaize was reluctant to part with this place, "Then you go, I'll pick some here and see if there are any other new herbs."

Zhao Mian nodded, Dong Mianpo is still safe.

An Huaize took out a few bullets, "Go and try the effect."

Zhao Mian took it and walked towards Wuling Mountain.

"Huh? The roots have...the effect of improving eyesight and benefiting ears? Is this too much effect? ​​Could it be that Uncle Dagen and the others just ate the rhizome?"

An Huaize remembered that Uncle Dagen and the others said that their eyes could see farther and they could see clearly.

"Strange, how can it be beneficial to the ears? Uncle Dagen and the others can only see clearly with their eyes." An Huaize wondered, could it be random?

Based on the theory of evolution that he and Brother Mian think, the eyes of Uncle Dagen’s family have evolved, but the roots of purslane have the same function of improving eyesight and ears. How come only the eyes have evolved?

"Is it random, or is it something else?" An Huaize looked at the roots and frowned, not knowing what the reason was.

"Forget it." I will always know in the future, so An Huaize didn't want to.

An Huaize recorded it, and even wanted to go back immediately and adjust a new medicine to evolve people to be immune to the plague virus. So if purslane is added to the medicine, can the plague be cured?

An Huaize's heart was beating fast, and he almost wanted to go home, but there may be other new medicines here. An Huaize roughly estimated the range of purslane, and the range is not small, but there are other weeds, horses There are not many purslane either.

After that, An Huaize discovered other new medicines in the bamboo forest on the east slope, but there was only one plant.

"What is this?" An Huaize squatted down. There was no such herb in the herb collection, and it seemed to be a real new species.

Only the flowers of the whole plant have medicinal effect, and the other parts are like weeds, which have no effect at all.

It just has a diuretic and diuretic effect, and the effect is not too great, so it has to be used in conjunction with other traditional Chinese medicines.

An Huaize remembered this place, maybe after a while, the flowers will start to form seeds, so you can try to plant some.

There are no new herbs in the grove. An Huaize walked around a few more times, but still couldn't find any new herbs. That's all for An Huaize, there is only that new herb in the bamboo grove.

"How is it?" Zhao Mian asked when he came back, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Are you all right?" An Huaize walked over and was relieved when he didn't find the wound.

"It's okay." Zhao Mian patted the mud on his body, some were wet and couldn't be cleaned, so Zhao Mian just let it go and it was fine.

"Why is it so dirty?" An Huaize patted the debris on Zhao Mian's back, which was covered with some rotten leaves.

Zhao Mian wiped off the dirt on his face, "The medicine didn't have much effect, it took more than ten minutes to attack, and it took less than five minutes to collapse. After the attack, the leopard went berserk and chased me for a while."

An Huaize frowned, "I have already increased the dose."

Zhao Mian nodded, "It should be that the leopard has a defense system in its body. It is not very afraid of poison, and the poison is not strong enough. It is really poisonous."

It seems that it is indeed necessary to change the formula and add some drug to it, so that it will not be insane for a few minutes after the poison is released.

"I'll go back tonight and change the formula, and try again tomorrow." An Huaize also took out the remaining bullets, "Then are these still useful?"

There were a total of four bullets in his hands, An Huaize was wearing gloves, and Zhao Mian also took out five bullets.

Zhao Mian gave An Huaize all the bullets, "It's still useful, but you have to be careful when you hit it, you have to run for 15 minutes, it's hard."

Then go back and change the formula. Keep these few for now, it will always be useful.

"Can Xiaochen and the others come over to pick purslane?" An Huaize was more concerned about this.

Zhao Mian nodded, "Okay, there are only two leopards in Wuling Mountain, one male and one female, and there are a few cubs. The male leopard ran away. What do you want to do with the cubs?"

An Huaize pursed his lips, "Is it time for leopards to breed?"

Of course not, but don't take it for granted.

"How old is the leopard?" An Huaize had some plans.

"It's not long after birth, so I can't tell." Zhao Mian didn't understand this very well.

"Then... can you raise it?" An Huaize was a little moved.

Zhao Mian nodded with a chuckle, he knew that Ozawa would like it, otherwise he would have killed those little leopards directly, otherwise he would not be able to survive, the male leopards all ran away.

"Yes, there is no shortage of meat at home, but leopards only eat fresh meat, and they will go up the mountain to hunt every day in the future, but it will only be a few months. When they can hunt by themselves, we don't have to worry about it."

"It's not a leopard, is it, a cheetah?!" An Huaize was startled, and then became even happier. To be honest, he prefers cheetahs.

Zhao Mian nodded, "There is no plain here, but this little cheetah has evolved. Its claws can stretch automatically and its teeth are very sharp. Maybe it will be similar to a leopard in the future. It can climb trees and has the physique and attack power of a leopard. It can also have the explosive power of a cheetah."

"How many?" An Huaize wanted to raise.

"Four, do you want to go and see them? If we can put them in Wuling Mountain in the future, we will have more guarantees." Zhao Mian led the way.

An Huaize naturally wanted to have a look. After entering Wuling Mountain, An Huaize soon discovered some traditional Chinese medicines, but none of them were new species and had not evolved.

"Is this a female leopard?" An Huaize looked at the leopard on the ground, half of his body was black and purple.

Zhao Mian nodded, "This place will soon be occupied by other predators, but it doesn't matter, our little leopard will be brought back in the future."

"Is it a coming-of-age ceremony?" An Huaize laughed, but it's not bad, he doesn't want to raise some small flowers in the greenhouse.

Zhao Mian entered a rocky place, and soon heard the childish cry of the little leopard.

"Ow...Ow..."

The two climbed up the rock and found four little leopards inside. The little leopards smelled a strange smell, and soon climbed into the deeper rocks in shock, and the sound disappeared.

"I'll go in and take it out." Zhao Mian burrowed into the cave, stretched out his hands on his stomach, and was quickly bitten by the leopard.

The little deciduous teeth didn't hurt, so Zhao Mian acted as if nothing happened, grabbed one and gave it to An Huaize.

"Look, how about it? When these little bastards become good, they can play with An An, and they will be An An's guard in the future." Zhao Mian mainly wanted to keep it for his son.

An Huaize thought the same way, the world is not good now, if An An has these four cheetahs by his side, no matter where An An is going to play in the future, they can rest assured.

"Catch them all, but how about going into the mountain with them? Do you want to take them back?" An Huaize felt that it was not appropriate to bring a few cubs into the mountain.

"You can go back first, anyway, I can come over tomorrow." Zhao Mian was not in a hurry, they came mainly to find medicinal materials and test bullets, and there was nothing else to do.

Zhao Mian climbed in and caught four cubs. Of the four leopards, three were males and one was a female, but the female was thinner.

"Natural selection, take it back and keep it." An Huaize didn't care much about this female leopard, it was too thin and would have to be weeded out sooner or later.

"You go back first, I'll go and have a look at the back, maybe the back is the territory of herbivores, I'll go and have a look."

An Huaize nodded. The four little leopards were not light, and they were restless. An Huaize took out a basket and threw them all in. The movements were not light, and An Huaize didn't care. If they couldn't bear it , It's useless for him to keep it.

An Huaize walked out of Wuling Mountain with his hands, and soon returned to the village.

"Oh, Doctor An, you... why did you come back with the leopard." Everyone heard the voice, looked at it, and moved away.

An Huaize took the four little leopards to Uncle Qi's house. Every time the little leopards tried to climb out of the basket, An Huaize threw them back.

"Old Uncle Qi..."

Before An Huaize knocked on the door, Old Uncle Qi opened the door, looked at the things in the basket, and frowned, "I said I heard the voice of a leopard, come in."

When An Huaize entered the door, Old Uncle Qi took the basket, grabbed a few cubs and looked up and down carefully, "This isn't a mountain leopard, is it? What kind of leopard is it?"

"Cheetahs are not Chinese species." An Huaize replied.

"Can climb trees? The teeth are quite sharp, about the same as a mountain leopard, but the legs...should run faster." Old Uncle Qi held a leopard and said while looking at it, almost getting a general idea.

"This leopard is not bad, do you want to keep it? It's not easy, it has teeth, and it's almost time to eat meat. It eats a lot of meat every day." Old Uncle Qi chuckled.

An Huaize nodded with a smile, "My parents died and ran away. I can't live without raising them. Why don't I raise them and come and see."

Old Uncle Qi chuckled, "You guys from Wuling Mountain, you are very good. Now you are raising them, and you can really raise them well. The chances of being domesticated are very high."

An Huaize didn't hide it, "That's where it is. Uncle Qi, show me how old he is in these few months?"

Uncle Qi opened the little leopard's mouth to look at the teeth, "I can't say, I've never seen this kind of leopard, but it's about two months old, it's almost ready to be weaned, and after half a month of breastfeeding, you can eat meat .”

An Huaize nodded, and Uncle Qi looked at the female cheetah again, "This one is not easy to raise. Its innate conditions can't keep up with it. Its teeth are short, its claws cannot be retracted, and its muscles are not strong enough. But if it is raised well, it may run away. faster than these three, but not by much."

That is almost the same as the previous cheetah?An Huaize nodded. It seems that this one has not evolved, but it is not useless. You can try to raise it.

"But it's not easy to raise. It's almost winter. It's so cold here. These little cubs must freeze to death." Old Uncle Qi was very strange. Generally speaking, they won't go out before winter Cub's grin.

"Maybe the species are different." An Huaize didn't understand these things either.

Uncle Qi nodded, he had never seen this kind of leopard, so he couldn't say anything.

"Old Uncle Qi, I'll go back first." An Huaize was going to go back and arrange the residence of these little leopards first.

Old Uncle Qi nodded, "I'll go take a look in two days, keep your eyes open, but don't take what the villagers say."

Old Uncle Qi knew that someone must be gossiping. Dr. An probably wouldn't listen to it, so he should get a vaccination first.

An Huaize nodded, he didn't have time to deal with those things, but it was very strange, didn't he say yesterday that he would go to the village head's house to seek justice?Why is no one here today?

An Huaize asked Old Uncle Qi, who immediately smiled, "Hey, you don't know? The village chief asked Pingzi to go to Liujiatun to discuss how the two villages can go out together to buy herbs."

An Huaize suddenly realized that it seemed that he had not sought justice from the village chief.

When An Huaize returned home, he was inevitably spoken to by several aunts on the way, but An Huaize didn't bother to pay attention, so he threw a few leopards into a storage box first, and then went to see An An.

It is estimated that the sound of opening the door was louder, and An An was awakened. Seeing her father, An An yelled a few words, and then yelled, "Come on!"

"Hey, dear, let's go eat first." An Huaize carried An An down, took the egg custard from the pot, and found that there were some green vegetables in the egg custard.

"Big!" An An stretched out her little hand, wanting to eat.

An Huaize soaked milk powder, it was only half a bottle, and it was almost cold, and the egg custard was also cold, so it was ready to eat.

"Chirp?" An An was attracted by the little leopard in the tidying box, and tilted her head, thinking it was a chicken.

An Huaize laughed, this is completely different from the chick.

"Leopard, little cheetah." An Huaize pointed at the leopard, teaching each word.

An An decided the same thing, "Hawk."

An Huaize taught a few more times, "Little Cheetah."

"Haw."

An Huaize laughed, no matter, An An is still young, if she teaches slowly in the future, she won't be able to teach so much in a while.

An An looked at the little cheetah with great interest while drinking the milk powder, "chirp."

Haw, chirp, chirping non-stop, An Huaize fed An An a few mouthfuls of egg custard, the taste was different, An An still ate very delicious, but kept looking at the little cheetahs, and kept screaming.

An Huaize took out some fresh goat milk from the space, put it in a new bottle, put An An on the baby seat next to him, and grabbed a little cheetah.

"Chirp! Haw!" An An excitedly patted the seat, his eyes glowing.

The little cheetah seemed frightened and didn't dare to bark. After being caught by An Huaize, it didn't move like before. It remained motionless and peaceful.

An Huaize put the pacifier into the little cheetah's mouth. It tasted different, but it was probably hungry. After a few licks, the little cheetah drank the bottle with its four paws.

An Huaize raised his eyebrows. If he didn't drink it, he probably would have gulped it down. An Huaize took another three bottles of goat milk, captured the remaining three cheetahs, and fed them one by one, which was relatively smooth.

"Haw! Haw!"

The four cheetahs were lying on the mat on the ground, simple and honest, but very cute. They were just newborn cubs, and they were somewhat resistant to strange things, but they were fine.

An An was very excited, but An Huaize was afraid that he would spit milk, so he washed his hands and hugged An An.

"Call me Dad." An Huaize scratched An An's little nose.

"Crawl." An'an leaned into her father's arms and yelled obediently.

"Hawk." An An pointed to the little cheetah on the ground.

"Little...hunting...leopard." An Huaize taught each word word by word.

"Short?" An An tilted her head.

An Huaize laughed, "Little...cheetah..."

"few."

An Huaize taught for a long time, the four little cheetahs got up one by one after eating their milk, and walked around, An Huaize also let them go.

"Ow!"

The four little cheetahs were crying softly, as if they were calling for something, maybe they were calling their mother.

An An tilted her head, "Oh."

Zhao Mian came back soon, carrying a pheasant, and when he came in, he saw four little leopards huddled in a corner, howling.

"Do you want to throw that female away?" Zhao Mian hesitated as he looked at the thin female cheetah.

An Huaize shook his head, "Old Uncle Qi said, this female is different, and probably hasn't evolved, so try raising it."

That's fine too, Zhao Mian took the pheasant and plucked the feathers outside the corridor, An Huaize carried An An out, An An was still looking at the four little leopards.

"Tumble." It took An An a long time to notice her father, and she yelled softly, which made Zhao Mian's heart soften.

Zhao Mian looked at the clothes on his body, they were not clean, and his hands were also very dirty, even if he wanted to hug his son.

"Come and kiss me." Zhao Mian stood up helplessly and kissed An An's little face.

"What's behind Wuling Mountain?"

"In the bushes in Wuling Mountain, there are antelopes, but not many. There are some impalas, and other things. They are all herbivores, but I think some of them have been scattered. There are still a few cheetahs in Wuling Mountain. But I have been following these herbivores, and it seems that it will slowly change in the future."

"You mean, territory? It won't be fixed like this?"

Zhao Mian nodded, "Maybe, if the groups divide their territory and are all predators, there really aren't that many places, and they may slowly return to the past."

Predators generally don't live in groups. It's just by nature. Not long after they ran out of the zoo, they used to be in a group. Someone fed them. Now it's naturally different. Group fighting has not evolved the skills of group fighting. It can hunt by itself. , There is no need for group hunting, and it is estimated that some will leave the group soon.

Zhao Mian went in and came out with a pot of hot water, and pulled out the chicken feathers. An Huaize was beside him. He wanted to go in, but An An didn't want to leave. He kept watching his father pluck the chicken feathers, seeming very curious.

An Huaize stood there and showed An An that the chicken feathers were not difficult to pull out, and it was done quickly. Only then did An Huaize realize that the pheasant had no bullet holes.

"How did you fight?" An Huaize was surprised.

"Eating in the bushes, I caught you." Zhao Mian couldn't help laughing, and then thought of something, "I want to ask Uncle Tie to help me get a bow and arrow, otherwise the bullets would be too wasted."

An Huaize didn't think there was anything, there were naturally many anyway, but shooting pheasants and hares, taking bullets was indeed overkill, An Huaize felt a little distressed now.

"But are bows and arrows really useful?" An Huaize was not sure.

"It shouldn't be difficult, Uncle Tie can do it, but the fur of herbivores is also relatively hard, and they have high requirements for bows and arrows." Zhao Mian didn't want to install fur, but directly set eyes and other places, stab into the brain, and directly brain-dead It's okay, as well as the neck, it's okay to pierce the trachea, but the neck is more difficult to shoot in. That's all.

An Huaize didn't know how to hunt, so he did what Zhao Mian did. Uncle Tie also made some bow and arrow knives before. Who knows, those animals in the mountains, one or two, have very hard fur and are useless. Let it go, it's useless.

"Sister-in-law! Why are you here?" Zhao Mei came in and saw An Huaize, and then saw Zhao Mian, "Brother."

"Come and see An An? Come and hug, I'm so tired." An Huaize remembered that he forgot to say that he didn't need to come and take care of An An.

Zhao Mei also came here when the time was almost up, but the sister-in-law and the others were here, and Zhao Mei had something to do at home, so there was no delay.

"No sister-in-law, I'll go back first."

"Wait, when your brother is done, bring some chicken back." An Huaize called her to stop. The family couldn't finish eating. He had a lot of meat in his space, so he didn't want to keep it.

Zhao Mei waved her hand, "No need, I haven't finished eating the rabbit meat at home."

"Then help me take it to your second brother." An Huaize said, and Zhao Mian cut it in half.

"Come here, one family is like two families." Zhao Mian put half of the chicken into the basket and asked Zhao Mei to take it away.

"Then I took it, brother, is there anything else?" Zhao Mei couldn't refuse, but the family had a lot of meat, and the elder brother and sister-in-law kept bringing it over, and they couldn't finish it, so they were embarrassed to keep asking for it.

"Is Xiaojun Xiaochen free?" An Huaize wanted to pick the purslane back quickly.

Zhao Mei nodded, "I'm free."

There are not many things at home, but she still has to go back and tidy up the house. Xiaojun Xiaochen is indeed free.

"Can they help me pick some purslane from Dongmianpo? Just dig here."

Zhao Mei nodded, "I'll go back and let them go."

Zhao Mei ran away quickly, and An Huaize shouted from behind, "Don't be in a hurry, don't run too fast."

Maybe there is no time at home?Seeing that Zhao Mei was running in a hurry, An Huaize was embarrassed to ask them to help.

"I'll let them go again when they are free."

"It's okay, Meizi won't lie, but she can't be free." Zhao Mian still knows about this younger sister, so it's hard for him to say, it's good that Meizi is diligent.
