[Crossing the Farm] The witch doctor rises up

Although Gong's words caused quite a stir in Wu Di's heart, he still remembered that they were on the way of "escaping", so although his mind moved, he didn't show anything.

When Dashan and the others had a friendly and intense "communication" with the women of the Jiejie tribe, Wu Di and the others who stayed in the bamboo forest were not idle.

Because the next morning, when the people in the tribe went to look for wild fruits, they brought back two kinds of very strange flowers.

"What's this?" Because Wu Di had to treat those who had been injured by the saber-toothed elephant, so when Bai and the others brought back this kind of thing, they noticed it.

"This is Bangbanghua! This is Qiuqiuhua!" Lihua didn't know whether she wanted to open it or was like that, but now her attitude has changed back to the previous one.Hearing Wu Di asking at this time, his attitude was very generous.

"...Flower?" Wu Di looked at a round ball with only a layer of hair on it, which looked quite solid, and a roughly as thick as his own forearm and thigh, which looked like a combination of a super-sized corn and a super-sized pine cone. A stick-shaped object with a twitching corner of the mouth - can this kind of thing be called a flower?

"Of course it's a flower, because it looks different from the leaves! But it's so strange that the leaves of the stick flower and the ball flower are exactly the same!" The little girl Bai squeezed over and said.

"Yeah, it's because the flower grows in the middle of the leaves. In order to pick the flowers, I was dismissed by the leaves a lot, so Wu Di, please get me some medicine and apply it." of two arms.

"What's the use of this?" Wu Di felt that this kind of flower looked a little strange and familiar, but he couldn't think of what it was for a while.

"Useful...it seems useless." Bai thought for a while, and then cast a look at Lihua for help, but only got a blank look.That’s right, after all, besides being a bit bigger, the stick flower and ball flower are also not good-looking-it’s not suitable for wearing on hair or clothes. “But it’s very strange!” Because of the "reason" of the reason, "It turns out that there are such trees in the forest behind us, but they just don't bloom, because it's rare to see... Well, that's it, it's rare."

"Where are the leaves of this flower?" A rare bloom?Could it be the same as the bamboo iron tree... the iron tree?

Dazed for a moment, Lihua took it out of her hair, a little embarrassed: "Although it is a bit hard, it still looks pretty good when inserted in the hair..."

Wu Di didn't care about the embarrassing thoughts in Lihua's heart that "it's obvious to use the leaves after being pierced", just hold it in his hand and look at it, and he understands - this is definitely the iron tree leaf!During the time in Yunnan, in addition to seeing the Dai people and their use of bamboo, the Tieshu King in Xishuangbanna is still fresh in Wu Di's memory.No wonder he always felt a little familiar.

At the moment, Wu Di didn't talk much, picked up the stone and smashed the two palm-long cycad leaves to pieces, then squeezed the sticky green juice with his hands and wiped it on Lihua's hands - the cycad leaves were originally Has the effect of stopping bleeding.

"Wow, is this also a medicine? It's amazing!" At first, Bai didn't understand why Wu Di wanted to smash the beautiful leaves of the pear blossom on his head. Looking at it this way, it turns out that it has such a use!

"Where did you find this thing?" Wu Di put away the extra cycad leaves - in addition to stopping bleeding, this can also relieve cough and cure dysentery.Moreover, what he values ​​is not only the medicinal function of the cycad leaves. Wu Di remembered that the tour guide said that the stems of cycads are rich in starch, which can be eaten and taste delicious.

Calculated, they can eat very little except for meat, a few wild onions, ginger and garlic, and a handful of wild vegetables.Not to mention foods such as flour and rice-how can I miss starchy things after finally finding them?

******

Because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Jiejie tribe, Wu Di only chose the young-looking women in the tribe—under the guise of picking flowers—to go in the direction of Lihua and Baidailu.

After arriving, some people went to pick the flowers, while others started to cut open the bark of the cycads with stone knives and dig out the stems—of course, due to the sharpness of the stone knives, they chose the ones with relatively tender skins.Wu Di is not worried about the possibility of the cycads being extinct if they treat them like this. After all, in modern society, it can be seen in botanical gardens and parks all over the world, and it is said that the Mesozoic cycads family has already It is very prosperous, and it can be said to spread all over the world.

Even if the number of iron trees decreased after the extinction of the dinosaurs, it still had no effect on what they took away.

In Wu Di's thinking, there is no need to protect the environment and nature.

"Wu Di, come and see this flower." Hearing this person's voice, Wu Di immediately ran over there, not only because the person who spoke was Abao's sister Cai, but also because Cai was a pregnant woman with a big belly!

To be honest, in these days, although pregnant women are treated better, they don't take it seriously at all, and at most feel that it is inconvenient for them to move.Wu Di even saw a pregnant woman with a big belly climbing a tree in the clan!

At that time, Wu Di was shocked into a cold sweat, and even shouted and coaxed him to get him off the tree, but he was laughed at by the pregnant woman instead.

In this day and age, women never take a break even when they are pregnant. Although more activities will make it easier to give birth later, but too much activity can also make people feel frightened.

All in all, Wu Di almost broke his lips, and his throat was dumb, so that the only pregnant woman in the tribe was "honest" a little bit, and other women also promised Wu Di that in order not to let the unborn baby be "masked" "Tiger" took them away, and they won't have any scruples about climbing trees and diving into the water like before when they are pregnant with cubs.

As for whether it will be remembered and executed... who knows?

Because Wu Di doesn't know how to feel the pulse, he can only ask Abao and the woman's husband to pay attention to it—after all, he, a big man who didn't even have the idea of ​​starting a family, still doesn't know much about the precautions for pregnant women.

Cai was pregnant nearly two months earlier than Ma, so her belly was much bigger.Because it is not clear when Cai was pregnant, and because she was Bao's older sister, she was kind to Gong before, so after Wu Di started "marching" in the tribe, people have been paying attention to her situation.

On the contrary, Cai felt that this kind of attention really made her extremely uncomfortable, so this time to find the iron tree, she had to come no matter what.

Wu Di thought she was a pregnant woman with a big belly and couldn't be angry, so he had no choice but to ask her to come along.It's just that after she came, she didn't let her get close to those hard and thorny iron trees. Instead, she chose a few experienced women who had given birth to accompany her to "cover".

******

If Wu Di can't recognize what it is from the flowers on that plant, then when he sees the yellowish round lumps under the leaves that have no flowers but prostrate on the ground, the name of this plant is Ready to come out.

Potatoes!It turned out to be potatoes!

This discovery made Wu Di both happy and worried.

The joy is that I finally found this stuff that can be used as a staple food or a dish, but the worry is that this piece of potato is only a few square meters, and the flowering potatoes account for a quarter of the non-flowering potatoes—that is to say , flowers blooming on the top, and either no potatoes or very few below.

In this way, this thing can't become a reserve food in the tribe, at most let everyone try something new.

In view of the fact that they were leaving in two days, Wu Di finally decided—to dig!All dug up!

Boil half of the potatoes at most for everyone to taste, and the remaining large potatoes should be kept——Wu Di once heard how the old people in the countryside used cut potato pieces mixed with plant ash and fertilizer to re-store potatoes, so The remaining large potatoes, Wu Di, were planted in the soil after their tribe settled down.

Because there were potato flowers and iron tree flowers as cover, the group easily took the iron tree stalks and potatoes back.

At this time, Gong and the others also came back from hunting.

I don't know if it's because the beast ears bestowed on Kung the "beast power" that surpasses ordinary people. Since Kung learned how to hunt, his performance in catching prey has been getting better and better.

Normally, when Wu Di came back, Gong would definitely bring the prey to ask for praise, but this time Gong did not take the prey, but walked over with some kind of powdery thing in both hands: "Look, Wu Di, This little mouse pup looks so soft and tender, but it looks like it's going to die—Xiao Hei said it would be delicious if it was baked!"

He seldom hunted such a small cub. It was the rabbit family he caught before. The little rabbit was also covered with a layer of fluffy fur. Like this, it was covered with sparse white fur, with a big head and a long tail. He had never seen anything like a baby mouse.But the smaller the taste, the more tender it is?Anyway, Xiao Hei and the others said so.

Whether it's small animals or big ones, Wu Di doesn't feel guilty about eating them now.So when he heard Gong's words, he habitually nodded.But when he saw the powder in his hand in a blink of an eye, Wu Di's face changed suddenly: "No, we can't eat it!"

"Why? Could it be that this baby mouse can't be eaten? Then I'll throw it away." Gong subconsciously wanted to throw it outside.

"Don't! Don't! It's not poisonous!" Wu Di quickly hugged Gong and restrained his hand, "We don't eat it, we keep it!"

Emma, ​​this is very likely to be a giant panda cub, cub—Wu Di, who once made a special trip to Ya’an, Sichuan Province to see giant pandas, knows very well that a giant panda cub is like a naked mouse.

Regardless of whether this is a mouse cub or a giant panda cub, when it comes to this bamboo forest, Wu Di would rather believe that it is the latter, and there is an indescribable excitement in his heart.This is probably the feeling that every Chinese will have when they see a giant panda.

Although this fleshy ball is so small that it can't see the black and white and naive national treasure form in the future... and it's not sure whether it will be a panda or a mouse when it grows up.
