Yu Zai didn't expect that he was so lucky, or was it really the good luck brought about by the old witch's prophecy?
Is this Lingnan area really a geomantic treasure?
Taro was called "yun taro" or "Ju" in ancient times. The earliest records were in the "Overseas Southern Classic" and "The Book of Songs". The Qi people called taro Ju, and one of their five capitals was also called Ju Yi.
This is indeed a native species rather than an exotic thing. The name of cloud taro is found in "Historical Records: Biography of Huo Shi": "Under the Minshan Mountain, there are squatting owls in the wild. They will not be hungry until they die. This is called cloud taro. The shape of the taro kui is like that of a squatting owl." It tells the story that after Qin Shihuang unified the world, Zhuo Wangsun was forced to move to Shu, and Zhuo Wangsun invited himself to Minshan precisely because there were taro in that place. With taro, people will no longer be afraid of disasters. Only by relying on them can they thrive and develop further.
Taro can be called the sweet potato of ancient times. With taro, you can solve the problem of eating. When sweet potatoes are not available, taro is undoubtedly the best substitute!
The one in Yu Zai's hand had obviously been burned for a long time, and it smelled like it was already cooked!
If taro is half-cooked, your hands will be numb when you touch it, and your mouth will be numb when you eat it. This is because there are calcium oxalate needle crystals in it. If it is not fully cooked, small toxins will accumulate when you eat it.
Yuzai thought it would be better to bake it again.
Yanyu stared blankly at the strange little ball. Then, he saw his witch peeling off the skin of the little ball. Then, a high temperature appeared in the witch's hand.
After a brief re-roasting, the "aroma" revealed made him swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Darling, what is this?
The earliest wild taro was afraid of drought, so it would not grow in the north. Only wild taro existed in the south. In this era, the tribes in the south were basically uncivilized. Even in the age of mountains and seas with divine power, the development and progress of the south , including the power of gods, are far less powerful than those in the north.
"Uh-huh!"
Yu Zai took a bite and found that the taste was actually okay...it was terrible.
"What-"
The lamb said that he wanted to eat it too, as it was originally his. The contempt in his eyes was even greater, like a little kid who was hiding a treasure and his parents found what he had hidden.
Yuan Zai ignored it. The witch's memory told Yuan Zai that the witch's bloodline has the power of gods, so he is basically not afraid of ordinary ailments. Of course, the legend that Shen Nong died after eating the heartbroken grass exists in every witch's memory. , but whether it is true or not... no one knows.
"Mea..."
In this era, even the weak ones in the tribe were ten times better than the strong men of later generations. The ancient ancestors often ate ferocious beasts alive. However, after their heyday passed, because ordinary tribesmen did not have the power of gods and men. Bloodline, so no matter how strong the body is, it cannot withstand the attack of serious and minor illnesses at the same time.
As the old saying goes, if people mutate and become stronger, won’t diseases become stronger?
All things are naturally born with Tao, and every drink and peck has its own destiny.
"Baa! Baa!"
After all, this is an era in which gods have gradually disappeared, but it has not yet reached the so-called end of the world.
From Zhuan Xu to Gao Xin, and then to Tao Tang, three generations of Holy Lords, in nearly two hundred years, the ancestors of Shanhai also initially adapted to this era when the gods were disappearing.
Only witches still retain the power of gods, and witches who belong to a certain mountain system or divine system, that is, the witches who are the descendants of gods, can use the witchcraft of "dancing to subjugate gods" to briefly reappear in ancient times. The majesty of the gods.
Ruan Zai felt something beside him, turned his head, and saw Ruan Yu looking at him eagerly, her saliva was about to flow to the ground.
"Want to eat?"
"think!"
Yu Zai opened her mouth and gnawed away the taro.
"Baa~! Baa!!!"
The lamb who had been ignored jumped up violently and was extremely angry!
It slammed its horns at Juan Zai, but with a big hand, Zai Zai's head was immediately pressed down!
Yu Zai was very happy: "Lamb! I didn't raise you in vain! If you find more, I'll give you two!"
Lamb: "......"
Ruanyu drooled and her stomach began to growl. Ruanzai wiped her mouth and said to Ruyu: "Look at what you are looking at. Take out your leather bag and look for it quickly. By the way, don't touch this thing directly with your hands." !”
If you have great strength and consume quickly, you will naturally eat more. In this era, there is no such thing as fasting!
Even Guangchengzi needs to eat!
"If you find this thing, take as much as you have and go back and plant it..."
Yu Zai did some calculations and found that the growth cycle of wild taro is half a year, which does not meet the three-month requirement. However, it can be used as food reserve during lean times. This is a good thing and must be taken away.
"And it may not be less than three months. Crops in the south mature quickly, and this era is extremely hot. And there are differences depending on the varieties. There may be early-maturing varieties. In short, plant and see..."
At present, there are not too few taro in this mountain and wilderness. Although no one cultivated this thing in the Shanhai era, there are absolutely no necessary factors to limit its growth, except for wild boars, mice and rabbits... But if it comes later The three of them came looking for taro to eat, so they could kill it and take it home to eat as meat!
So, after so many years of crazy development in the wild, it’s time to prepare for artificial breeding!
So the two "leaders" of the tribe stuck their butts out and searched in the mountains. On the other side, the fire was still burning, and the smoke rose high into the sky. The fire did not spread to the wood area at the source. But as the smoke drifted over, it picked up a lot of wild animals.
The tribal warriors who came to set fire to the mountain with Yuyu saw the wild animals and were eager to smash them. After a lot of crackling, they caught a lot of deer, deer, and even a small wild boar!
A black shadow came quickly, and an Akafang warrior with quick eyes and quick hands knocked it to the ground with a bang of his stick!
"Hmph!"
The little wild boar had tears in its eyes. Although it was small, it ran very fast. A soldier could not catch it, so seven or eight soldiers immediately surrounded it. The little wild boar braked suddenly and felt a wave of terror.
When the surrounding Akagata warriors saw this little wild boar, their eyes were shining with hunger!
The little wild boar was so frightened that it made an unexpected move. It raised its hooves and begged for mercy. It even started dancing as if it was praying for something.
This action made many people look stunned, so someone immediately ran to find Yuzai and told him that there was a strange guy among the beasts captured by the tribe.
Yuzai came in a hurry. The tribal warrior was called "Yang". His status was not high, so he had no surname. He could only be called Chifang Yang, not Yuyang.
"Hum!"
The little wild boar no longer dances, because it has been tied up with five stripes, and the old rattan has strangled it tightly, so it is necessary to string it up with a pole and put it on the fire to roast.
Obviously, for its fat dance, the young judges of the Akagata clan gave negative marks one after another and could not turn around for it.
At the moment of death, it saw Yuzai and knew that this little boy was the leader, so it immediately started struggling and whining. But when Yuzai came over, he saw that the fur of this little wild boar was actually blue-white, and although the pig's teeth were still very young, , but there are four of them!
Ruanzai looked at it for a while, and after about three or four breaths, he suddenly recognized this thing. He was shocked and said quickly: "You can't eat this!"
The little wild boar was greatly surprised, with great hope in his little eyes, and danced hard!
"Hmm! (Can't eat!)"
The Akafang clan's warriors looked at each other in disbelief. Sun Zai untied the old cane, and the little wild boar was strangled for a long time. He shook his little meat and fur and rubbed against Sun Zai's body.
Yuzai took out some millet from his chest, and the little wild boar didn't hesitate. He hummed and stuck out his tongue to lick it clean.
"Witch...that's your ration..."
There were soldiers nearby who saw Yuzai feeding the little wild boar millet, and they were immediately unhappy. This little guy should be killed for meat during this critical period, so why should he be given millet to eat?
But someone next to him immediately whispered: "I understand, the witch wants to make this guy fat and then kill him and eat him!"
The soldier suddenly realized it, and a bunch of soldiers beside him said "Oh", saying "I see, he is indeed a witch"!
"What the hell!"
Yuzai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the little wild boar with wide-eyed eyes. He picked up the little wild boar, raised it high, and said to the people in the tribe: "Okay! This is a strange beast called Dangkang." ! Everyone, listen up, it is our lucky star! It cannot be eaten or killed!"
"If you see good health, the world will be prosperous, which means there will be a great harvest!"
Yuzai thought about it, Dangkang should be a strange beast that appeared in the Four Classics of the East. How could it come near the Xunshan Mountains in the Nanshan Classic? But then I remembered that there is a saying in the "Shen Yi Jing" that there is a beast in the south, which looks like a deer and has teeth on its head. It is good at relying on people to get grains. It is called a beast without damage. The shape mentioned is close to Dangkang, so this is it.
In other words, Dangkang does not appear fixedly in one place. It has its activity tracks in the east and south.
After hearing what Yu Zai said, the warriors of the tribe immediately screamed and screamed after being stunned for a short time. They looked at the little pig with green fur and white skin and four milk teeth, as if they had seen a god!
A strange beast that can bring a great harvest to the world if it appears!
What is lacking now is food!
Yuan Zai also didn't expect that two good things would be burned out after setting the mountain on fire. At this time, Xiao Dangkang was held in Yuanzai's arms, and the tribal warriors beside him had all their murderous intentions gone, and all of them were extremely flattering. He took out a handful of millet from his arms.
There seemed to be two red clouds on Dangkang's face, but he didn't know if it was Suzai's imagination.
"Mea~!"
Cries of protest arose, but were quickly ignored.
Lambo appeared here with two taros in his mouth.
For Dangkang, the reversal came too quickly. He was about to turn into a roasted suckling pig. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he would have something to eat. The piglet was immediately surrounded by a sense of happiness and was extremely nervous. It immediately forgave the soldiers who were about to eat it. It stuck out its tongue, arched its head, and swept away all the grains in the soldiers' hands with a squeak.
At this time, Yan Yu also came over with a pile of taro in leather. When he heard what the tribal warrior said, he immediately said like a fool: "Witch, if this little pig can't have a good harvest, will he be killed?" Does it eat meat?"
As soon as these words came out, Kang Dun was shocked!
"Hmm hum hum hum!"
The little pig squirmed and looked very uneasy. Of course, Yu Zai felt that it would be better to trust this little wild boar for once.
"Let it dance when we go back to cultivate the fields."
Dangkang looked very flattering, sticking out his tongue and licking Yuzai's hand vigorously.
It's better to be a licking pig than to be a suckling pig!
Everyone rejoiced for Dang Kang's appearance, but at this moment, Lao Zi, who had been temporarily "forgotten" by everyone, stared at Dang Kang, his contemptuous eyes seemed to hide the wisdom of seeing through everything.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lambo spit out the taro and made an unexpected move towards Dangkang.
"Ho~ bah!"
