Because this side is not too far away from the hillside over there. In addition, Li Tao also packed up a lot of banana leaves, so we crossed slowly instead. Of course, I also hope that there will be some gains along the way.
Maybe God was kind to me, but I found a large piece of fungus on a huge dead tree. I scraped it off quickly, but unexpectedly, I saw another mushroom next to the root of the tree!
"People say you are lucky, and I think it is true!" Li Tao was very happy at this time, because I said these mushrooms are not poisonous and can be eaten as long as they are cooked. Naturally, she was a little greedy!
"Maybe! At least the people who followed me haven't starved to death or those cruel things have happened!" I didn't avoid it, and of course I didn't deliberately exaggerate it, but I still gave her some confidence!
Then in the last section, we had no further gains. But when we came back, looking at what we brought, it really caused a sensation here. As for our delay for so long, it is normal to travel through the rainforest, which naturally eliminates some of everyone’s doubts!
Baolin looked at our harvest and watched Lanfang leading people to sort fungus and mushrooms. He took the initiative to come over and said to us: "It might be troublesome to cook these foods without water, but I also found some clues. Do you know if we can go get some together?"
Lan Fang looked at me nervously: "Ajing, the water consumption here is a little less, and cooking is really troublesome! If it's not far away, you can try it, after all, it's going to be dark soon!"
"If this continues, there are so many people, something will happen sooner or later!" Looking at Shen Xuewen and Ding Laosan, Bao Lin seemed to be very keen, so his voice was not loud.
Maybe Li Tao didn't come close to me when she saw Bao Lin next to me, but what made me a little strange was that she didn't go to Zhong Qianting and the others, but stayed beside Lan Fang to help clean up.
"You can go check it out. If these foods can be made, it will definitely be good for everyone!" I looked at Pauling, but I didn't think much, but expressed my interest!
Bao Lin gave Lan Lan a look, and for the first time, Tang Tang on my side wanted to follow. Because Pauling said it was not far away, I took Tangtang with me. Sure enough, less than a hundred or two hundred meters away, Pauling quickly found two water palm trees again.
Because you really don’t pass through here, it’s really hard to find the trees growing in the mix, and there are many other tropical plants on the side. In order to prevent accidents, Pauling carefully chopped open these plants with a knife. Looking at the exposed palm trees, we looked at each other and laughed.
This plant, which is not unusual, can store an astonishing amount of water in its branches. Many indigenous people in this area often rely on drinking the water here in the rain forest.
Pauling began to cut open a leaf stem, and sure enough he saw a lot of water flowing out. Although he drank a few big gulps, he obviously also wasted a lot. Of course, we also stepped forward and took a few sips one after another, feeling that it had a faint taste of drinks.
Because he was sure there was water, Baolin asked Lan Lan to go back and continue to find our people to get bamboo tubes. At the same time, he also sent a message to use our original water to clean the fungus and mushrooms, and by the way, set up the pot to prepare the food!
Here I took out Tangtang's quiver and found a bamboo arrow made by Luo Xiaoshan. Although I knew it was a waste, I still cut off the arrow shaft and inserted a small bamboo pole into the trunk of the palm tree. Sure enough, the filtered rainwater stored inside flowed out like a turned on faucet!
We went over and picked up the water, which was enough for six bamboo tubes. When we came back with the water, we were naturally a little excited! I originally thought that Baolin would not teach Ding Li, but I didn't expect that he didn't deliberately teach it to Shen Xuewen and Ding Li. Here, each of them gave a bamboo tube of water!
In fact, we didn’t have much water left, but we each shared two bamboo tubes. But Pauling's calm behavior made me a little surprised!
These women have been here for more than ten days at least, and they have obviously learned a lot of survival skills! The mushrooms they had just prepared weighed more than a kilogram each. After cleaning them, they first blanched them on hot stones until soft, and then put them into pots and boiled them in water.
Obviously this not only saves time, but also saves a lot of water. Ou Xiang was even smarter. She started washing the fungus and mushrooms with water. Naturally, she didn't waste it. She found someone's underwear, filtered the water directly, and kept it to continue cooking and eating!
I wasn't surprised at all, but looking at the close-fitting clothing, I felt a little familiar. In the end, I couldn't help but look at it twice more, and realized that it was the one that Li Tao started to clean! I couldn't help but look at Li Tao a few more times, and she gave me a merciless look!
They could only pretend not to know. When they smelled the aroma of the food here, Shen Xuewen and Ding Laosan naturally came closer without any politeness. Although he didn't directly ask for food, Lao Ge couldn't help but squeak when he saw Xiao Min cutting the bacon and the smell became stronger!
"This smells so good. It's great to have a woman in the team!" Lao Ge didn't take any exception at all. He even turned a blind eye to Shen Xuewen's wry smile and smiled at Xiao Min: "Xiao Min, we are all together now. We are eating together. Prepare one for us too!”
"These foods really need to be eaten by everyone, but now they are obviously not enough!" I saw Xiao Min looking at me and understood what she meant, so she said to Shen Xuewen: "Brother Wen, look at this, now It’s not completely dark yet, so let everyone look for wild vegetables around and cook them to satisfy our hunger!”
"Let's go and look for it!" Professor Ding Li didn't know whether it was because he was flexible or because he saw that Shen Xuewen didn't say a word. There really weren't many ingredients on display here. Even if I really want to take a bite, I can only turn around and leave with a sullen face!
Because we haven't seen Aneng's people yet, the safety of the camp has become an issue. Of course, they can't all go looking for wild vegetables, leaving the woman named Qingfang and Shen Xuewen here untouched.
"Brother Wen, these mushrooms look fine, but after all, there are some weird things here, and there is still a lack of water here, so I suggest that less people try them first, and let the rest dry for a while!" I asked Lan Fang to take them! He took some of it and brought it to Shen Xuewen.
"I'm not afraid of death. How about you try it first?" Qingfang was obviously not embarrassed. She looked at me with a smile and shouted to Ma Lihua: "Lihua, bring some here and let me try it for everyone first." Try it!”
Her words were indeed speechless, but fortunately no one cared about it. Pauling and I each arranged for people to stand around and patrol. Because there was still some time before dark, I sat on the rocks and prepared to take a rest, pretending not to hear what Qingfang said!
Because it wasn't Ma Lihua's turn to eat, others ignored her. Shen Xuewen nodded slightly and saw that there was only a little bit of food, so she just ate it!
