N-A-A Chapter 189
Chapter 189
There was originally only a small hole, Lu Zhe opened it, and countless acorns fell out of it.
It's like a broken vending machine.
Lu Zhe and Shen Bing glanced at each other, and the two quickly cooperated with their backpacks.
"So many nuts, it takes a lot of time to collect."
"Squirrels are natural collectors. Some squirrels accumulate tens of thousands of nuts a year, and I remember a news that a little squirrel on the other side of the ocean hid walnuts in the chassis cover of a car, and when the owner found it, it hid a full 140 pounds of walnuts.
"It's a model worker in the rat world, so what does the owner do?"
"What can I do except accept it with tears?"
"But it hides enough to eat, what does it do by hiding so much?"
"Winter's."
"It's not cold in winter."
"The two squirrels we met just now look like open-grained chipmunks, ranging from Tibet and Mongolia in the north to Southeast Asia in the south, from temperate coniferous forests to tropical rainforests. In the north, it is necessary to spend the winter, and the genes carry the habit of hiding fruits. Only tropical native squirrels do not hide fruit when food is plentiful.
"Just like black bears, even if they don't need to hibernate in the tropics, they will subconsciously dig hibernation holes, while Malay bears in their native areas will not."
"That's right!"
The two chatted while loading a full ten pounds of acorns.
Squirrels are not only masters of collecting, but also masters of storage.
The acorns in the cave were dry and clean, and not a single one of them showed signs of mold or insects in so many piles.
"Is this thing delicious?"
"Acorns contain tannins, which are a little bitter when eaten directly, and when you go back to cooking or roasting, and eat them with salt, the taste will be much better." And it can be sterilized.
"I remember it was still a kind of food!"
"That's right, and it's older than rice and wheat. There are more than six hundred subspecies of oaks, distributed all over the world.
The Tang Dynasty poet Pi Rixiu wrote that 'in the late autumn, the acorns are ripe, scattered with hazelnuts, and the yellow hair is beautiful, and the morning frost is picked up.' The time is shifted, and the basket is full of days, and it is steamed several times to use as three winter grains. It means that this thing can even be used as a staple food at some point.
It's just that the forest is a bit big, and we won't find an acorn tree for a while, and it's thanks to the generosity of Brother Squirrel.
Shen Bing's brain made up for the little mouse's attachment to the acorn in the ice age, and looked at this empty hole.
"But we all took it, isn't it a little... Inhumane.
Lu Zhe thought for a while: "That's right, even if you fight the local tyrants to divide the fields, you can't give them all to others." Be a person and leave a line, and you will see each other in the future. Let's leave some for it.
Saying that, Lu Zhe took three acorns from the package and put them back in the hole.
Get!
"Goodbye, little ones! May you all be happily married!
Lu Zhe took Shen Bing's hand and continued forward.
Along the way, meet various unknown insects and birds.
There are also as many as seven snakes, large and small.
But now, Lu Zhe has a better source of protein, and there is no need to risk catching snakes to eat.
Just in order to make the living environment safer in the future, Lu Zhe conveniently shot the poisonous snakes to death and buried them well.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived on the other side of the lake.
It is also a dense woodland with thousands of species of trees and shrubs.
There are even high-quality wood trees such as mahogany, camphor, rosewood, and red acid branch.
Lu Zhe patted a tree trunk and sighed, "Hey, daughter-in-law! As far as this rosewood is not slipped, I estimate that at least 100,000 beads can be carried, and one bead can be sold for thirty or fifty, which is three or five million. You can buy a bathroom at Tomson Yipin!
"Such a good tree, you car beads?"
"How else?"
Shen Bing pursed his lips and smiled: "Well, okay, how can you transport it back?!"
Lu Zhe smashed his mouth: "It's the same!"
Then he patted a slightly larger tree: "This teak is the best material for furniture ships, but unfortunately we don't have sophisticated tools, and we can't make it." But everything can be done slowly, and a complete set of woodworking tools will be made in the future, and we will make a luxury villa that belongs to us here.
Shen Bing also nodded with a slight expectation: "Although we don't even have a decent toilet now, it doesn't hinder the expectation and yearning for a better life in the slightest... It's just a bit laborious to ship.
"The main thing is to cross this lake, and later you can make two docks in the east and west, and transport it by bamboo raft." Make another way and use cattle to help us get back to camp.
Shen Bing nodded: "This is a good idea." "
Walking around the lake from the north shore, I came across a large swamp.
It's not that you can't go, it's just that it's too bad to go.
Can't go back at night.
It seems that there is no way to go around the lake for a week, so I can only return the same way.
But before going back, Lu Zhe decided to go into the water to take a look.
Shen Bing was a little worried: "It will be very dangerous!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "But in order to understand it more deeply, you must try it."
"What if you run into crocodiles and pythons?"
"I can't release the life yet!"
Shen Bing was completely speechless, and she felt that there were some mysterious obstacles to communication with Lu Zhe.
"Don't worry, dear, I know how to avoid danger, you just wait by the lake, if you can, build a fire."
"Then tie a rope, if there is any danger, I will drag you up."
"Okay, be careful."
"Be careful!"
Lu Zhe took off a pair of bottoms and got into the water.
The water is not cool, about 28 degrees.
Slowly sink into the water, open your eyes, and see a gorgeous view of the bottom of the lake.
A variety of unknown freshwater small fish swim freely among the aquatic grass, and occasionally frogs and shrimp can be seen.
A 40cm black Sultan carp swam past Lu Zhe's eyes, completely ignoring this intruder who rushed in.
Lu Zhe nodded.
This guy looks delicious.
He swam deep and saw more fish, shrimp and crabs.
The verdant water grass swayed with the waves, all kinds of rotting wood, and the sunken stones were covered with moss, like a primeval forest submerged under water.
A large number of tadpoles wander around like dark clouds.
Small and medium-sized fish such as crucian carp, tiger fish, and zebrafish are secretly chambered between aquatic plants.
Occasionally, you can see some beautiful large fish.
Arowana subspecies, Indonesian tiger subspecies.
Similar to the fish in the aquarium, but slightly different.
There are also cochineal, small shield liquor, star knifefish, catfish....
But the largest of these fish is only about seventy or eighty centimeters.
It appears that the lake's water bodies are not suitable for larger fish.
Lu Zhe believes that even if there is nothing, they can survive with the resources in this lake alone.
It's time to go back.
Lu Zhe crawled out of the water, and Shen Bing said, "How is it?"
Lu Zhe wiped his face: "Actually, when we go back and open an aquarium shop in the future, I think we can all live very well." "
