[Crossing the Farm] The witch doctor rises up

From the beach to the woods, there is a place with messy weeds.

Walking along the way, Wu Di and the others held stone spears in their hands and beat the road ahead while walking.This can scare away poisonous snakes and reptiles, and prevent those grass blades that can cut people from hurting their legs—although they wrapped animal skins around their calves early in the morning to prevent this kind of situation. layer.

"This place feels very humid." Gong moved his nose and looked at the soles of the shoes that had already been covered with a lot of mud.

"Perhaps no one comes here?" Kai exhaled and wiped his sweat, "And it's still very hot here."

The weather like high temperature and humidity is very similar to the tropical rainforest.However, Wu Di will not take it easy to think that this isolated island in the sea is really such a geographical environment, but just remind everyone to pay more attention-not only under the feet, but also above the head.

He remembered that in the Vietnamese jungle, things like leeches were hard to guard against.Looking at everyone's exposed skin, Wu Di had no choice but to bring up the worry he had put down before.

At this moment, there was a sudden "rustle" shaking above the head, which added a bit of weirdness to the very dark forest because of the dense leaves intertwined and only a little sunlight leaked through.

But Gong and the others had never watched horror movies, so they just felt that the noise made people vigilant, and they were afraid that some unknown beast would make a surprise attack.

"Ga——!" Suddenly remembered a hoarse cry accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, making everyone subconsciously look up at the source of the sound.But I saw a big white bird flapping its wings and flying away.

"A false alarm..." Ah Bao exhaled.

"That bird's neck is really long!" Hui Hui withdrew his gaze from looking at the big bird.

"And it's quite big." There should also be a lot of meat.

"Where did you fly to?"

"It seems to be over there..."

"Could it be intentional?"

"Birds... shouldn't be that smart, right?"

"That's how we go?"

"Uh... let's keep going." This person who is not familiar with the place, just lost his way in order to catch a big bird, then the gain outweighs the loss.

******

After walking for a while, except for some tall trees covered with vines and various birds fluttering their wings from time to time, Wu Di and his group really didn't see any edible fruits.As for the prey, it was probably because the group of them deliberately made noises while walking, so there was not a single animal hair within their sight.

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Wu Di saw that the animal ears on the top of Gong Gong's head were drooping a little, knowing that he couldn't stand the hot and humid climate.

"Look for a cooler place? It's an island on the sea, why is there no sea breeze blowing in?" A Bao almost stuck out his tongue like a puppy and "wheezed".And Xiao Hei's body was already covered with crystal sweat, and because of his dark skin, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of asphalt.Although the others were not as serious, they were already sweating and their throats were a little smoky.

"Let's go there! It looks like a lotus leaf..." Where there are lotus leaves, there is water, and where there is water, it is cool!

Hearing Gong's words, everyone who was sweating profusely showed joy, and wanted to hurry to that place - it would be great if they could touch a couple of tender lotus roots to eat.

******

What people didn't expect was that when they finally reached that place, they found that there was no shadow of a lotus pond there!Of course, let alone lotus root.

As far as the eye can see, there is a piece of black soil that looks very slimy, with dark purple or dark green slender stalks growing on it.On the stalks are large leaves, somewhat similar to lotus leaves, but longer than lotus leaves.

Specifically, it should be said that lotus leaves have smooth edges and are generally round, but this part is like the tip of an ordinary leaf, and the other part is like... Anyway, the color and size are quite similar to lotus leaves, but the shape is different. difference.

Wu Di didn't recognize what it was for a while, but he was sure that this kind of thing should have some impression.

"Ah... it grows on dry land, so it doesn't look like a lotus leaf..." Abao was very frustrated.

"I thought I could dig some lotus roots down there to eat..." Gong also felt a little disappointed.

"Wait..." Wu Di suddenly said, looking at Gong, "Gong, you just said..."

He looked at Wu Di with some confusion, but Gong repeated the words honestly: "...I thought I could dig something down there..."

"Yes, that's it!" Before Gong finished speaking, Wu Di clenched his right hand and slammed it on his left hand, and then hurriedly grabbed the stone spear and stone knife that he accidentally dropped because of his action, "There is also something under this of!"

"Really?"

"Something?"

"Edible?"

"Just down here?"

"Will it be the same as lotus root?"

"Can I dig now?"

Asked one by one by the six of them, Wu Di felt Alexander in an instant, and secretly wiped off the cold sweat on the back of his head. He nodded: "It should be close to ten, or let's dig one nearby and try."

******

Things that grow in the dark mud are naturally black when dug out.But when Wu Di wiped off the black mud outside, he didn't mind the dirty look of this thing at all.

He had already grasped Wu Di's various micro-expressions and blinked his eyes: "Is it edible?"

"Of course! And it's very full!" Looking at this super big taro, which was twice the size of the big taro he saw in the vegetable market, Wu Di put the taro that had to be hugged with two hands on the ground, He took out the stone knife and cut off the layer with black mud on it, revealing the white inside—there are light gray, sparse dots on it.

"It looks delicious..." Ah Bao swallowed, Bai Shengsheng should have a lot of water, right?

"This can't be eaten raw like this. In fact, don't touch it with your hands casually." Wu Di pointed to the place where the white flesh was peeled off by himself, "otherwise your hands will be itchy all afternoon. "Wu Di still remembers that every time he peels and cuts this thing, he either wears disposable gloves or works under running water-the feeling of itching but not knowing where to scratch is really too much. It's hard.

"...What the hell is this?" Datou was puzzled. He heard Wu Di say that this can be eaten, but why does it make people feel uncomfortable?

"Taro," Wu Di turned his head and looked at the place that can be called "Taro Lake", feeling the joy of a good harvest spread in his heart - sure enough, this feeling of "harvesting" from nature is so refreshing Yes, "Very filling taro, which is similar to potatoes. If we take all this piece back, we will have much less pressure to collect food for the winter. Moreover, this taro is very easy to digest and will not cause poisoning... Of course, the taste is also very good!"

Whether it is taro chicken or boiled taro dipped in sugar, it is delicious.Wu Di has already simulated these taro boiled, steamed, steamed, roasted, roasted, fried, stewed and fried one by one in his heart.

Moreover, Wu Di still remembers that taro can not only fill the stomach, but also has high nutritional value.

During that time, TV always liked to show some healthy diet, drug diet and so on.For example, after a "brickman" said that mung beans were good, he drove up the price of mung beans-of course, this kind of thing is not the point.

The point is that although what those "bricks" said is a bit exaggerated, there are still some things that are very useful.Wu Di remembers that this taro can not only treat diarrhea and so on, but also because taro contains a lot of fluorine in minerals, it can also prevent tooth decay, clean teeth and protect teeth.

Of course, the most important thing is that taro can enhance human immunity - it is easy to digest and can enhance human immunity. It is best for children, the elderly and the sick.

Moreover, with so many yams, I don’t have to pick and cook soup to satisfy my hunger in the future——yam, if you boil it casually, it will turn into a jade-white paste, and it is best to use it as a substitute for porridge.

This taro is durable and can be eaten even if it germinates—alas, nature is really a mysterious treasure house~ Wu Di's villain can't help but feel a little turbulent.

"Then..." Hearing what Wu Di said, Gong's eyes slowly lit up.Gong didn't know that taro had so many functions, but he was pleasantly surprised to hear that it could fill many people with food.

"That's right, we can dig out all these things - don't forget the stalk on it, it can be eaten after washing and blanching." The tender taro stalks are cut into thin shreds and served cold, which is very refreshing and delicious One of the wild vegetables.

As soon as Wu Di's words fell, all six people burst into enthusiasm, and even the feeling of being tired and thirsty was forgotten - such a large piece of taro can be eaten by everyone in the tribe. Have you been eating for a long time?

In fact, this has indeed made the people of Youhe Tribe eat it for a long time. You know, to some extent, taro is more filling than potatoes.

******

Although a large piece of taro looks very gratifying, due to its huge size, even if the seven of Wu Di and the others fill their baskets full, they still cannot take a tenth of the taro here.And if they were all dug out, I don't know where it would be safe to put them on this isolated island.

In the end, they just packed a basket and let the other taros continue to grow in the soil—when they finished wandering around the island, if there was new food, they would only take this basket of taro back; No new ones, so they come back and refill the panniers.

Because it was Wu Di who said that taro doesn’t quench thirst and can’t be eaten raw, so everyone thought it was better to go on—either to find some edible fruits or plant roots and leaves, or to catch some animals to drink blood.

Of course, it would be even better if water could be found.
