Chapter 832 The Baby on the Island (3 in 1)
After some operations, the expedition team consisting of four rafts and thirty people set off.
The penny was on the river bank, and the heavy pressure made the penny bend.
As the bamboo poles gradually straightened, the heavy raft also left the shore of the lake, sailing towards the lake with irregular fan-shaped ripples.
After driving for a certain distance, the water level began to deepen, and the penny was no longer useful. The person in charge of the paddle began to shake the paddle, paddling the water one by one, and slid the raft towards the island in the middle of the lake.
"Papa! Papa! Where is Papa going?"
The little pea on the shore yelled at Han Cheng who was standing on the second raft, showing reluctance, and wanted to go with Han Cheng.
The witch on the side reached out and grabbed Little Pea's hand and took a step back, worried that Little Pea would fall into the water.
Han Cheng on the raft couldn't help but twitch when he heard Little Pea's call, where the fuck is Dad? Could it be that this son of mine also traveled from a later life?
"Father go there!"
After complaining, Han Cheng replied smoothly, and pointed to the island in the lake.
"Wait for Dad obediently on the shore. Dad will go over there to have a look first. After there is no danger there, Dad will take you there to play!"
Han Cheng said to Little Pea with a smile.
Then he explained: "You all go to the back, don't get too close to the shore of the lake, lest you fall into the water!"
"dad!……"
At this moment, Little Pea has completely turned into a chatterbox, standing on the shore and shouting to Han Cheng across the lake, and Han Cheng has no choice but to stand on the raft and respond to Little Pea.
This situation suddenly reminded Han Cheng of the skit "Crossing the River" played by Pan Changjiang.
"There is a curved river in front of my father, and my son is on the bank..."
Thinking this way in my heart, I almost blurted out the adapted ditty.
In the voice of Little Pea calling her father, the oars paddled the water, getting farther and farther away from the shore.
At the same time, the islands in the island lake are getting closer.
Originally, standing on the shore, it seemed that the rocks here were not very tall, but when I came to the front, I found that these rocks were at least four or five meters high.
In the crevices of the rocks, some strong grasses and some not very tall bushes grow sporadically.
In the shallow water below the rocks and in contact with the lake, there are some fine sands. On the fine sands are some scattered gray-brown and some whitish large clam shells, and some fish skeletons stained with scale.
On the bare stone, whitish bird droppings are scattered here and there.
There are too many rocks here, and there is no suitable place leading to the island, so Han Cheng didn't let people dock here, but paddled eastward around the island, and the raft gradually disappeared on the shore. In the eyes of everyone.
"dad!"
Little Pea, who climbed up a rock, yelled loudly in the direction of the island in the lake, but got no response.
There was some crying in the voice.
The little person suddenly felt some concern and parting emotions.
"Don't be afraid, your father will be back later."
Wu, who stretched out her hand to support Little Pea, smiled and said to Little Pea.
Although he was also a little worried, he didn't show it at this time.
"real?"
Little Pea looked at Wu Wendao with blinking eyes.
"Of course it's true, you come down first, let's wait over there, it's higher there."
Wu pointed to a slope not far away and said to Little Pea.
So, Little Pea was coaxed by the witch to get off the steep rock.
Then he took Xiao Wandou's hand and walked towards the slope not far away.
The little pea man trotted fast, but when he saw that the witch was walking slowly, he also slowed down. An old man and a young man walked up the slope slowly, turned around and sat down side by side, facing the direction of the island in the lake... …
At this time, the raft, out of the sight of everyone on the shore, had detoured to the north of the island.
Different from the steep south side with towering rocks, the north of the island is very flat. On the edge of the island, there is a golden sandy beach. There are long-legged egrets moving leisurely on the sandy shore and shallow water. Staggering steps, or standing motionless in the water and pretending to be a log, waiting for the little fish to swim forward.
There are some big and small old turtles lying on the beach, some are black, some are yellow, similar to the beach, they are all quietly basking in the sun and enjoying sunbathing.
The arrival of Han Cheng and his group of uninvited guests disturbed the tranquility here, especially the area where the bamboo raft was docked.
The heron flapped its wings and flew towards the distance, and the old turtle, which was lazily lying on the beach basking in the sun, also showed a speed beyond Han Cheng's cognition.
Standing up from the beach, his short legs moved quickly, and he rushed into the water in a flash.
Even because of the high-speed running, one old turtle bumped its head against another old turtle. Under the huge impact, an old turtle that was the size of a plate rolled over on its side with its shell facing down. Standing on all fours, struggling constantly but unable to turn over...
At this moment, the speed displayed by these old turtles made Han Cheng speechless.
After seeing these, Han Cheng felt that in later generations, the terms of turtle crawling and turtle speed were appropriate to describe a person's slowness.
"thump"
Han Cheng jumped from the raft onto this piece of sand, which may be the first time anyone has set foot on it, stood here looking around for a while, and then walked towards the old turtle who was on all fours, trying to turn over go.
Seeing this heretic who doesn't carry a turtle shell with him, but walks on two paws, this old turtle shrank its limbs, head and tail into the shell, and behaved like a turtle with a peaceful mind.
I lay on the beach for three and a half years, and I turned over when the big waves came.
This sentence expresses the importance of patience and opportunity, and at the same time, it also shows from one aspect how difficult it is for Wang Ba to turn around. It will take three and a half years to wait until there are big waves.
However, this old turtle was lucky enough to be turned over by Han Cheng before waiting for three and a half days.
But it was also unfortunate, because he fell directly into the backpack carried by the person who landed...
The place near the water is the beach, and walking forward for a distance of more than 20 meters, the beach becomes a place with weeds.
With the bronze dagger in his hand, he pushed through the weeds and walked forward. At a distance of about 20 meters, the weeds became less and more trees.
And at the roots of these trees, there are some scum left after the water level recedes.
After walking another seven or eight meters, the scum on the ground disappeared completely. That is to say, generally speaking, in the rainy season, after the water from the surrounding rivers pours into the Wild Duck Lake, the water will basically stop going up to the highest point. The top is up.
Han Cheng stood on the edge of the trees and looked at the island for a while, then reached out and pointed to the west: "Go over there and have a look."
Then, under the protection of the rattan shields used by the tribesmen, they returned to the beach and walked west along the beach.
Because the view on the beach is wide, and there is no grass around the feet, it is reassuring and can avoid risks to the greatest extent...
Brother Sha, who came to the island together, held a bow in his hand, with a feathered arrow on the bow, and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. He was ready to find out that something was wrong, and was ready to shoot those guys with arrows immediately.
Walking along the beach all the way to the west, egrets flew around, and the old turtles ran into the water one after another, and then poked their heads out to look at the group of strange giants.
Compared with the south side, the north side of the island in the lake is more than twice as wide. Han Cheng and others walked west along the beach for about three or four miles, and then gradually came to the northern edge of the island.
But in front of him, he was blocked by an unknown plant that was as tall as a person.
Han Cheng didn't force his way, but led his people to the interior of the island, preparing to bypass the plant in front of him.
After walking a few steps forward like this, Han Cheng stopped and couldn't help sniffing hard.
Because he smelled something just now, a familiar one, but he couldn't remember what it was and where he had smelled it.
Standing here and sucking his nose a few more times, Han Cheng thought for a while and stretched out his hand to pull one of these plants, put it under the tip of his nose, and sniffed vigorously.
After seeing Han Cheng's actions at this time, the people who followed became excited all of a sudden, especially Junior Brother Sha and others who had followed Han Cheng to the Fire Tribe, their mouths couldn't close their mouths in excitement.
Because many times of experience let them understand that once Shenzi shows a similar state to something like this, the tribe will probably have a brand new thing that is very useful to the tribe. Yes, that's even better.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Han Cheng, who sniffed hard for a while, let go of his hand, and the plant that was bent by him bounced back, stood up straight, and made a 'rustle' sound.
Han Cheng shook his head. The smell that he felt familiar but couldn't think of was not coming from the plants that he had never seen before.
After loosening the grip of this plant, he sniffed his nose hard, and he could still smell the familiar smell, which was strong and sometimes weak.
Looking up at the wind-blown plants that rustle from time to time, and sniffing the familiar smell that is strong and sometimes weak, Han Cheng can't stay here any longer.
"Go, come up here!"
Han Cheng greeted everyone, then walked towards the interior of the island, preparing to bypass the dense vegetation.
Brother Sha and the others didn't ask, but followed Han Cheng quickly to the interior of the island with excitement and anticipation.
This piece of unknown plants grows very strong, and it takes about 20 to 30 meters to reach the edge of the island.
"this is?!"
Just when he came to the edge and his field of vision widened, Han Cheng was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were a little straight.
Seeing Han Cheng's big reaction, everyone who followed looked in the direction Han Cheng was looking at.
After looking past a section of land with weeds and trees growing in front of me, I came to the lake.
Next to this tall and dense vegetation, in the shallow waters of the island, there is a large expanse of another type of vegetation.
This plant has large, round leaves, some of which can reach the mouth of the big cooking pots in the tribe!
When the wind blows, the windward side of these large-leaved plants will be rolled up by the wind, exposing the whitish underside of the leaves.
Between the turbulence of leaves, occasionally there will be bare stems, and only a peach-shaped bud will be exposed on the top.
The buds are white with a little pink in the white.
Whenever the wind blows, there will be a unique fragrance that floats along with the wind.
What is this? How did you straighten Shenzi's eyes? Could it be that this kind of thing is really delicious?
Thinking of delicious food, many people began to salivate at this strange plant that they had never seen before.
"Hahaha……!"
Han Cheng, who stood still and stared at the plants growing in the water for a while, couldn't help laughing out loud, and then strode towards the edge of the island.
Holding a rattan shield with spikes, the person walking in front hurriedly walked forward.
They also couldn't wait to learn from the mouth of the Son of God what this never-before-seen thing was, what it was useful for, and whether it was delicious.
In a short while, Han Cheng and others had arrived at the edge of the island, near the lake.
As it got closer, the pleasant fragrance became more intense.
"Wow!"
There was a sound in the lake water reflecting many of these big leaves. It was the fish floating on the upper layer of the lake water looking for something to eat, which was startled by the group of people who came, and dived into the bottom of the water suddenly.
The lake water thrown by the fish's tail landed on some low round leaves floating on the water surface, and immediately turned into beautiful pearls, rolling slowly on them, looking very beautiful.
Han Cheng, who came to the edge of the lake, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but smile all over his face.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the lotus root that I had been thinking about for a long time and never met, unexpectedly appeared here in an extremely unexpected way!
And there are so many at once! The growth is so gratifying!
There is another delicious dish in the tribe, and it is also a dish that can be eaten in winter when vegetables are extremely scarce!
No matter what kind of food, if there is one more food, more people can be fed, and the food in the tribe will become more abundant.
After all, there is a limit to the amount of food a person can eat in each meal. If you eat more lotus root, you will eat less other food.
"Son of God, this is?"
At this time, some people finally couldn't help asking out of curiosity. It was as if there was a fluffy tail in their hearts that was constantly teasing.
"This is lotus, also called lotus root, lotus, or lotus."
Han Cheng in a good mood said to everyone in the tribe with a smile.
This series of unheard-of names popped up, and almost stunned the curious people of the Qingque Tribe. What the hell, this thing is more than the name changed from Milk Tea Girl to Bai Xuemei by Shenzi. !
"This is a good thing, delicious..."
This is really a delicious food!
The eagerly awaited members of the Qingque Tribe immediately became excited after hearing the word delicious from Han Cheng. As a group of senior foodies, nothing excites them more than delicious food.
"Stab~"
Before Han Cheng finished speaking, someone reached out and tore off some lotus leaves and put them in his mouth, wanting to taste the food with many names that the Son of God said was delicious.
Of course, the taste is not much better. After all, most people use lotus leaves to spread pots, and some people use them to make tea and drink them directly. Except for the fish and sheep in the water, the rest Han Cheng had never seen him before.
"Is it delicious?"
Looking at those people with lotus leaves stuffed in their mouths, Han Cheng asked with a smile.
"No, it's not delicious."
Someone answered, and he chewed the lotus leaf in his mouth a few times while talking, looking a little dull.
"It's okay if it doesn't taste good! The leaf itself is not good to eat. Next time, listen to my words before acting."
As soon as such words came out, these people who were chewing lotus root leaves lowered their heads in shame, and stopped talking.
Two guys even quietly swallowed the lotus leaves in their mouths abruptly, watching Han Cheng want to be angry and want to laugh at the same time.
Walking up to these people, he kicked two buttocks up on each of these people, and made those who didn't have time to swallow it spit out the lotus leaves in their mouths.
Although they were kicked, these guys became more relaxed, with smiles on their faces, no longer like elementary school students who made mistakes as before.
"This kind of thing is delicious because it has no leaves, but white and tender roots that grow under the water. After digging out, whether it is cut into slices and boiled in hot water, mixed to eat, or cut into cubes and stewed All very delicious.
Of course, the most delicious thing is to chop the meat with a knife, put in seasonings and adjust it well, sandwich some meat fillings with two slices of lotus root, wrap some noodles on the outside, and fry the lotus root box in boiling oil.
The noodles on the outside are fried golden, and the minced meat and lotus root slices inside are all cooked. When you take a bite, the aroma of noodles, lotus root and meat are mixed together, and the taste..."
After punishing those people a little, Han Cheng began to poison them. After talking about the many ways to eat lotus root, these people couldn't help swallowing, looking at the lotus root that grew here. The eyes of these many lotus roots are shining brightly.
Even those guys who were kicked by Han Cheng just now were the same.
"Son of God, let's, let's dig the lotus root! If you dig it out, make a lotus root box and eat it!"
Junior Brother Sha stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, looked at Han Cheng and said expectantly, he was very hungry for the deep-fried lotus root box that God Son said just now.
"Yes, Son of God, let's dig the lotus root! Dig the lotus root and make a lotus root box to eat..."
The rest of the people also spoke out.
Han Cheng reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth, lotus root box, he wants to eat it too! I want to dream! But he has no face!
After getting the answer from Han Cheng, everyone in the tribe looked downcast, yes, how did they forget the son of God and said to wrap it in flour just now!
What is this wheat down low? Where is the growth?
If he knows where wheat grows, Junior Brother Sha swears, no matter how far away he will get it to the tribe!
It's not just him, everyone in the Qingque tribe here at this moment has the same idea.
Because apart from the lotus root box just now, they have already learned a lot of delicious food from Shenzi, but the result is the same as the lotus root box just now. Face, can't do it.
For a foodie, there is nothing more uncomfortable than this. It is even more tormenting than encountering relatives visiting when the arrow is on the string.
After learning what Junior Brother Sha and the others thought, Han Cheng raised his hands and feet in approval.
Not to mention them, after knowing the news about Mai Mai, Han Cheng can do such a thing by himself.
As a northerner, it is really a kind of torture that I can't eat food in my mouth all year round.
The soybeans of the tribe, Han Cheng also ground them himself, sifted out the soybean noodles with a noodle sieve made of wooden boards and fine linen, and steamed the soybean noodles with the extremely sticky soybean noodles after reconciliation , also posted bean noodle cakes.
The steamed buns and pancakes are so hard that they can kill a dog, not to mention how sour it is in your mouth.
If he hadn't thought too hard about pasta, Han Cheng wouldn't have said anything.
After everyone here expressed their longing for Mai Mai, Han Cheng asked someone to throw some stones into the lotus root bushes, and beat the water surface with a stick on the bank, and waited for a while. After nothing unusual happened, Han Chengcheng and some people took off their shoes and touched lotus roots in the shallow water not far from the shore.
As everyone attacked one after another, the lotus roots on the shore immediately suffered disaster. Many of the lotus stems were broken or trampled down, as if they had been arched by wild boars.
If a person from Aihe came here and saw this situation, he would definitely condemn Han Cheng and the others with heartbroken heart.
In fact, Han Cheng is also a lotus lover. Not only can he appreciate the endless blue of the lotus leaves in the sky, and the redness of the lotus flowers in the sun, but also appreciate the lotus leaves and He Tiantian, the fish playing among the lotus leaves, and the remaining lotus listening to the sound of rain. It can also be done.
But these did not prevent him from touching the lotus root with great interest, and while stomping on it, he explained to everyone how to touch the lotus root faster and more.
It can be seen from a distance, but not played with. Such a thing does not exist in Han Cheng's place. After all, the lotus root growing underneath is so delicious.
Han Cheng thinks that he is the one who really loves lotus. He not only likes to look at the growing lotus, but also likes to eat the lotus root growing below. It can be said that he loves it very comprehensively.
The lotus root grows very fast. When the lotus blooms and produces lotus pods, the lotus root below has already grown.
It was early summer, and the lotus was just about to open, but the lotus root below had basically grown.
After stepping hard on the mud below for a while, the barefooted Han Cheng stepped on the lotus root hidden in the mud.
After stepping on it, Han Cheng didn't bend over to buckle it with his hands like other people in the tribe, but continued to step on the mud below along the direction of the lotus root.
After stepping on it for a while, you can easily take out a lotus root when you bend down and put your hand into the water, which is much faster than digging through the mud with your hands.
And when digging along with a lotus root, there are often other surprises, that is, encountering the rest of the lotus root.
Because the lotus root is criss-crossed in the mud.
It is precisely because of this that when you touch the lotus root, if you step on a small area completely, you can feel a lot of lotus root.
