Chapter 833: The Second Kind of Baby on the Island
After groping four lotus root out of the water in a row, Han Chengcai went ashore full of enthusiasm.
If possible, Han Cheng wouldn't mind touching lotus roots here for a while.
Such a wish is impossible to come true this time, after all, their primary purpose this time is to explore the islands in the lake, rather than making a special trip to touch the lotus root.
Wu and the others are still waiting on the shore. If they don't go for a long time, they should be worried.
After he landed, the rest of the people also went ashore. They stood by the water to wash off the muddy water on their body and legs. Han Cheng wiped his feet on the grass beside him and put on his shoes.
"This, what is this thing?!"
At this moment a man yelled, looking at his legs with horror.
When he was just washing the muddy water on his legs, he suddenly saw half of the yellow-brown worms on his left leg, and the other half got into his leg!
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grab it and pulled it. As a result, the worm was soft, slippery and very strong. It broke the worm, and the part of the worm that got into the meat did not come out!
There was dark red blood flowing from the severed worm's body and spreading down his legs.
Such a thing frightened him, and he cried out in panic.
Han Cheng, who put on his shoes, was startled by the sudden shout, and thought it was a water monster or something that sprang out of the lake.
I hurried over to ask aloud, and after seeing the half-worm in the man's hand and his bleeding calf, I breathed a sigh of relief.
This is just a leech, not a water monster.
"God, son of God, broken, broken inside, drilled, drilled into the flesh, can't get out..."
The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stuttered. He looked at Han Cheng as if he was about to cry.
This is really scary, especially for people who don't know much about leeches.
Suck blood, get into the flesh, will it multiply in it, and then suck more blood, suck the blood dry, and eat the flesh...
Such a thing cannot be thought of, as long as one thinks about it, it is infinitely terrifying,
It is more frightening than facing a hungry wolf or tiger alone.
"It's okay, don't worry, let me do it."
Han Cheng said to this person, not to worry him, then walked up to him, raised one foot, took off the shoe on it, held the shoe in his hand, and pointed at the bloody part of the person's leg. place, 'Papa' the soles of the two shoes went up.
Then under the watchful eyes of everyone, a miracle happened like this.
The worm that was broken in the leg and couldn't get out, fell from the man's leg after the soles of Shenzi's two shoes were pulled off, and landed in the grass.
The person whose face was pale with fright suddenly became happy when he saw this. Seeing the red leg with the imprint of the sole that was beaten by Han Cheng with the sole of the shoe, not only did he not feel the pain, but Also a look of joy.
The old primitive man with old legs and running faster than some reporters, after seeing this scene, his eyes widened even more, his face was full of surprise, and at the same time he touched the soles of his shoes.
It turns out that apart from the previously known functions of this shoe sole, it also has such a wonderful function! This is really a good thing!
Thinking about it this way, the shoes under his feet are immediately more important.
When screening people who landed on the island for the first time before, although Han Cheng said that older people should not follow, but old primitive people who are in good health are naturally an exception.
"This thing is called a leech, and it likes to suck blood, especially people with small cuts in their legs, they are more likely to attract leeches, and leeches also like to suck blood from small cuts.
But don't worry, this thing is sucked into the flesh, and it can be whipped out with two soles, or you can just slap it without a sole. "
After putting on the shoes, Han Cheng looked at the crowd and said.
This matter must be made clear, so as to reduce people's panic about things like leeches, and secondly, after getting rid of this horror, it can lay the foundation for future lotus root digging.
If not, everyone will come to dig lotus roots in the future, and they will definitely be worried.
In order to further eliminate everyone's fear of leeches, Han Cheng also conducted an experiment - catching leeches.
He squatted on the shore of the lake, reached out with one hand, and kept raising and pouring the water here, or kept stirring it to make it make noise. After about four or five minutes, there was The leeches swam from elsewhere.
In front of everyone, Han Cheng reached out and took a swimming locust into his hand, and explained to everyone that the leech couldn't suck the palm of the hand without pores.
After doing this for a while, Han Cheng tore off a thin grass stalk from one side.
Hold the leech used as a test object with your thumb and forefinger, and then use the other hand to hold the thin grass stalk against one end of the leech, while holding the leech at the same time Squeeze down slightly with one hand, and the whole leech is turned upside down and pierced on the grass stem.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, after finishing these things, Han Cheng casually turned over and stuck the leech pierced on the grass stem on the ground.
In a short time, under the wind and the sun, this leech will turn into a dried leech...
"Water waves sound, leeches rise" This is a sentence that Han Cheng's later generations said in his hometown. The principle may be related to the sense of touch and other senses of leeches. Anyway, in the water where leeches live, you can continue to live in one place. Stir the water, and the leeches will come over after a while.
As for the leech, Han Cheng is really not afraid. From his skillful movements of catching the leech now and turning it over and inserting it on the ground to dry it, he can roughly know that the leech who was brutally killed by him in the past Locusts are not rare.
After Han Cheng's explanation, and a performance of catching leeches with bare hands and putting them on the grass stalks for everyone, everyone was shocked by this kind of horrible thing that can penetrate half of the body into human flesh to suck blood. The fear of the bugs dissipated a lot in an instant.
There are even many people imitating Han Cheng's appearance just now, squatting by the water, stirring the water constantly with their hands, attracting the leeches, picking them up with their hands, piercing them with grass stalks and sticking them on the ground .
It didn't take much effort, but seven or eight leeches were brutally murdered.
Seeing that everyone was no longer afraid of these leeches, Han Cheng smiled and asked people to wash the lotus root that he had just touched, and piled it under the shade of the tree. After understanding, come and take these lotus root away.
It would be too troublesome to take it with you on the road now.
Continue to walk along the edge of the island, and the direction has changed from west to south.
It was nearly 200 meters to the south, and the large lotus root reached the edge.
Han Cheng roughly estimated that the area of lotus root is at least ten acres.
The lotus root is very productive. The lotus ponds in this area have been dug, and the lotus root obtained has to be measured in ten thousand catties.
"Ha ha……"
Even tens of meters away from the lotus root, Han Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud.
At the same time, I am looking forward to the next itinerary, hoping to find more surprises on this island.
Of course, even if there is no other harvest, these lotus roots alone are enough for him to be happy.
Han Cheng has already made a decision. When he returns to the main tribe from here, he will take some lotus roots back and bury them in the potholes around the main tribe.
The lotus root multiplies very fast. In less than two years, the main tribe can produce a lot of lotus roots.
With anticipation and good mood, Han Cheng and his party continued to move forward.
As we go south, the terrain becomes higher and steeper, making it difficult to walk.
Moreover, the lake water on the edge of the island has also become bottomless.
For the sake of safety, Han Cheng asked people to walk up to the inside of the island, instead of walking close to the edge of the island as before.
"Fluff!"
After walking forward for a while, there was a sound of flapping wings here, and the branches and leaves shook for a while, and I don't know how many birds flapped their wings and flew from here.
As the flock of birds flew up, some bird feathers, knocked-off leaves, and scattered, gray and white bird droppings floated down from the sky.
One or two of the people who came with Han Cheng were also tricked.
Smelling the strong smell and looking at the forest full of bird feces, even the most ferocious primitive people couldn't bear to step on the smelly carpet everywhere to shuttle through the forest .
The one or two people who were hit by the bombs that came down from the air were even cursing these damn birds angrily while wiping the fresh bird droppings on their bodies with the leaves they picked off.
Han Cheng couldn't help sniffling his nose. It's really impossible for life to be smooth sailing!
I haven't gotten over the joy of getting the lotus root yet, but in the end I encountered minefields all over the place.
However, this rather depressed mood did not last long.
The next moment, looking at these bird droppings, Han Cheng's eyes lit up.
This is really not a minefield, but a really good thing!
These are all good scraps!
As the area of cultivated land in the tribe continues to expand, the fertilizers can no longer keep up.
Although there are many people in the Qingque tribe today, large and small, there are more than a thousand people, and besides these, there are also deer, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., every day Constantly making shit.
But even though these numerous dung-making machines are working hard every day, they still can't hold back the land of the Qingque tribe.
So until now, the Qingque tribe's fertilizer has been in a relatively short state.
At this time, there are so many bird droppings here, for the tribe, this is simply the best gift!
Han Cheng thought so happily in his heart, and immediately broke a branch from the side, and started poking bird droppings here.
The main thing is to see how thick the bird droppings are here.
I used a branch to test for a while at the edge, and lifted a piece, which was about 30 centimeters.
Han Cheng in the deeper part didn't try it, but it must be thicker than the edge.
In this piece of woodland, apart from the growing trees, very little grass grows.
On the one hand, the trees block the sun, on the other hand, there are too many bird droppings, too thick, and there is no soil, so the grass cannot grow...
"have a look!"
When Han Cheng and the others came to the edge of the forest above the island and were shocked by the spectacular sight of the large pieces of bird droppings here, they stayed on the slope by the shore of the Wild Duck Lake, kept their eyes on the little pea on the island, and pointed at the island. The direction, shouted excitedly.
At this time, a dark cloud was rising from the island in the lake, and then quickly drifted deeper into the lake.
The bird that was startled by Han Cheng and his party, inhabiting the island.
Seeing the bird drifting away like a dark cloud, Wu was also very happy, because this showed that Shenzi and the others had already arrived on the island, and there was no trouble on the way.
Having not heard from Shenzi and the others for so long, Wu and other people on the shore couldn't help but worry, but when they saw these birds soaring into the sky, their worries were instantly relieved.
Then they began to wait for Han Cheng and the others to return in a more relaxed mood.
As for what they could get from the island, Wu and the others didn't think about it at all, they just thought that there was no danger on it.
While waiting, on the island, after Han Cheng mentioned using the bird droppings here to fertilize the field, the rest of the people who followed became extremely excited when they saw the bird droppings.
Yes, so much bird droppings can fertilize many fields!
After staying here for a while, the group headed by Han Cheng seemed a little reluctant to leave here.
Reluctantly facing so many bird droppings, such a thing, I am afraid that only this group of people can do it.
Originally, according to Han Cheng's plan, he went directly to the southernmost part of the island along the place closer to the western edge of the island.
Now that there is such a large piece of woodland, and there are many bird droppings blocking the road in the woodland, this idea can only be forced to change.
It's not that no one proposed to pass through here directly, but looking at the thick bird droppings everywhere, Han Cheng still couldn't get down this foot after all.
After hesitating on the spot for a while, he started to walk east along the northern edge of the forest.
After walking about three miles, the woods gradually thinned out, and at the same time, it was not far from the eastern edge of the island.
Han Cheng and the others headed south from here.
Because the trees here are relatively sparse, there is not much bird droppings on the ground, so you can pass with confidence.
The forest here is sparse because there are many stones scattered on the ground. Han Cheng and the others walked all the way there, and there was little soil on the ground, and they were all relatively flat and connected stone slabs.
"Gululu..."
On the way to walk, he came across a small rock, and Han Cheng suddenly felt playful, and kicked it forward with his feet.
"what?"
After this kick, Han Cheng looked a little puzzled looking at the stone that had just stopped.
Because the foot feeling brought by this stone is different from ordinary stones.
It lacks the heaviness and texture unique to stone.
Thinking of this in his heart, Han Cheng quickly walked a few steps to the stopped stone, bent down and picked it up.
This stone is indeed not heavy, and it is almost half as light as ordinary stones.
Han Cheng held the stone in his hand and looked it back and forth for a while, but he didn't find anything special about it. After thinking about it, he threw it to the ground with all his strength.
This relatively light stone was broken into several petals.
Han Cheng bent down to pick up a piece, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Unlike the surface layer that has experienced wind and rain, the texture of the newly broken place is very clear.
It's really very clear, so clear that Han Cheng can see some bird droppings in it!
Where is this stone! It's the old bird droppings that have been deposited for an unknown number of years! The kind that will turn into stone!
Holding the small stone in his hand, and looking at the surrounding stones with the same surface layer as the small stone in his hand, Han Cheng grinned behind his ears, like a belt. .
This is really a hair!
Holding the piece of bird droppings in his hand, Han Cheng smirked for a while, threw it on the ground, and kicked it hard towards the stone on the ground.
Before, I didn't pay attention to this side and didn't think there was anything wrong, but now I felt a difference after this kick.
These stones are indeed different from ordinary stones, and they feel a little 'weak' when they are kicked on them.
Knowing what these stones might be from Han Cheng, everyone in the Qingque tribe became excited. After several years of farming, they clearly understood the great significance of manure for farming.
At this time, I learned from Han Cheng that these stones may be made of old bird droppings, how can I not be excited?
Without Han Chengduo's instructions, Junior Brother Sha and some others have already pointed at these stones on the ground with sticks, bronze daggers in their hands, or bronze axes pinned to their waists. smashed.
In a short time, many stones were smashed away. After the surface layer was lifted, what was exposed inside was indeed silent bird droppings.
"Hahaha……"
This time, not only Han Cheng, but also the rest of the followers in the tribe laughed heartily, very carefree.
This is really an island full of treasures!
Looking at the island, Han Cheng couldn't suppress his joy.
When he first landed on the island, Han Cheng thought about hiding tigers and leopards in the city, and Liangshan, a water park where dragons gather in the valley, and imagined whether something could be built on this island. Now, Han Cheng has no fantasies at all. , because there are too many bird droppings on this island!
God knows how many birds have stopped here and left precious fertilizer.
Before the fertilizers on the island were messed up, Han Cheng felt that it would be better if there were no people on it.
Of course, as far as the current number of people in the tribe is concerned, it is really unnecessary to establish a residence on this island.
In the future, at most, some thatched huts will be built for temporary residence for fishermen or lotus root diggers.
After staying here for a while, everyone continued southward and came to the front edge of the island.
"Hey~!"
Climbing up the rocks at the southern end, Han Cheng and the others yelled loudly towards Wu and the others.
The person holding the green bird flag vigorously waved the green bird flag in his hand, making a rattling noise.
"Look! Look! There!"
The people sitting on the uphill by the lake bank, when they heard the faint shouts, and saw the people standing on the rocks of the island, they all became excited at once.
Little Pea jumped up and down happily.
"Hey~"
Amidst the cheers, some people waiting on the shore also put their hands together, put them near their mouths, and shouted loudly to respond, not to mention the cheerfulness.
Standing on the rock at the southern end of the island, greeted the people on the shore, and stayed here for a while, Han Cheng and everyone in the tribe got off the rock and started to return.
When I returned, I was familiar with the places I had traveled, and I lost a sense of expectation, so I felt that it took a lot less time than when I came here.
After walking for a while, Han Cheng and others returned to the large lotus pond. After putting the washed lotus root into the basket, they walked along the beach on the north side to the place where the raft was docked.
Old turtles basked in the sun again on the beach, and there were long-legged egrets in the shallow water waiting for the fish to swim around.
There are also some small short-legged birds that walk along the water's edge.
After Han Cheng and others appeared, it was inevitable that birds would fly around for a while.
In such an atmosphere, the group returned to the place where they landed.
The four rafts fastened there by ropes were there, bobbing and falling with the gentle undulation of the water.
With twenty people left here, Han Cheng and nine other people boarded the raft, untied the ropes, pounded the bamboo poles on the shore, and pushed hard, the bamboo rafts left the shore one by one and drove into the lake.
Watched by those who remained on the island, the raft turned around in the water and headed south toward Mallard Lake.
After traveling for a certain distance, put away the boat pole, hang up the sculls and start shaking once and for all, the raft pushes away the waves...
"dad!"
Little Pea, who was being held by the witch, shouted happily. After Han Cheng got off the raft, he ran to Han Cheng's side, and rubbed his short-haired head against Han Cheng's hand...
"There are lotus roots, a delicious thing, and there are bird droppings on the island, a lot of them!"
Han Cheng said to Wu, Bai Xuemei and other people who were waiting here, and took out the lotus root that he had touched before and showed it to everyone.
Looking at these white and tender lotus roots, and thinking about the many bird droppings that Han Cheng said, the people who stayed on the shore became excited all of a sudden, and they all wanted to go to the island to see it with their own eyes.
A new kind of food, and a lot of guano that can be used to fertilize the fields, for the people of the Qingque tribe, it is the most beautiful scenery!
Han Cheng naturally agreed.
The situation on the island has been verified, except for going to the forest where bird droppings may fall on you, there is no other danger.
And at this time, the sky is clear and the weather is clear, the wind is smooth, there is no possibility of strong winds, and rafting on the lake is also very safe. It is a good time to go to the island.
Helped Wu to get on the raft carefully, and asked the adults to hold all the children tightly and not allow them to move around, and tied the original life jackets on the children and some weaker people, and let people who did not row the raft stay on the raft. After sitting on the top and not allowed to stand up without docking on the shore, the four rafts started again...
