Chapter 240: Food to Eat
Chapter 240: Food to Eat
After Lin Haoxuan finished speaking, he scooped up some of the soil in the water and showed it to Xiao Jing, and said: "These cinnabar grains, that is, the mud and sand buried on Zhong Shen's body, cinnabar has the effect of detoxification and antiseptic; Topical application inhibits or kills skin bacteria and parasites.
Cinnabar is a compound of mercury, which has a special affinity with the phobic groups in proteins, and at high concentrations, it can inhibit a variety of enzymes and activities. Mercury entering the body is mainly distributed in the liver and kidney, causing liver and kidney damage, and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and directly damage the central nervous system.
"You say, can they survive by drinking such water?" Lin Haoxuan threw the dirt into the water and stood up.
Xiao Jing looked at the pile of white bones, pulled some branches, covered them, and then clapped his hands and said, "It seems that the water sources and plants here are so poisonous that you can't eat or drink." β
Lin Haoxuan smiled, didn't speak, and pulled Xiao Jing to continue to walk forward, his ears were erected extremely sensitively to prevent any primitive creatures from attacking.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Haoxuan and Xiao Jing saw a mountain stream again, Lin Haoxuan pulled Xiao Jing over, squatted down, carefully observed the water source, and then looked at the mud and rocks in the water
After the last one, he still held Xiao Jing's silver hairpin and stopped in the water for half a minute, and after the inspection, he smiled slightly: "This water can be drunk." β
Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll drink first." After finishing speaking, I picked it up and drank it, only to feel that the water was sweet and pleasant, and I couldn't stop drinking a few more sips.
After Xiao Jing was full, she patted her stomach and said in surprise: "Is there really anything wrong?" That's great. β
Lin Haoxuan sighed softly, hugged Xiao Jing, and said lovingly: "Silly girl, I said that if there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, so why do you want to test the water for me?" What should I do if poison poisons you to death? β
"The meaning of your life is more important than mine." Xiao Jing opened his mouth quietly, and then said puzzledly: "Why is the water here not poisonous?" β
"Do you really think the mountains and rivers here are poisonous? It seems that you are really scared by Township Chief Huang. Lin Haoxuan said with a smile: "If the whole mountain is poisonous, the lotus pond that flows through the Misty Cliff will also be poisonous, and it will accumulate day and night, then the residents downstream will not know how much Ludao has been poisoned by drinking the water of the river pond, where is the Hongdao people more than 100 years old?" β
Xiao Jing thought about it carefully, it was really unreasonable to say that the whole mountain was poisonous, could it be that the reason why this mountain became a forbidden area was because the people nearby spread it too mysteriously?
Lin Haoxuan continued to speak: "It can only be said that the soil quality of some areas of this Absolute Mist Cliff is different, and the elements contained in it are different, so the water quality is different.
The plants growing nearby contain different elements, the mountain stream I just saw has cinnabar soil so it is highly poisonous, and some vegetation near it must also be highly poisonous, so people who drink water and eat leaves will definitely die.
The mountain stream here, the soil contains a certain amount of mineral salts and other beneficial elements, so not only is the water not poisonous, but even the vegetation in the vicinity is edible. β
"I see." Xiao Jing suddenly realized: "These things, if ordinary people don't know the Dao, it can be understood, but Professor Yimu and Zhou Jia's knowledge and experience, it shouldn't be difficult to find?" β
Lin Haoxuan hugged Xiao Jing and said lightly: "When you are chased by primitive creatures all the way, and there is abundant food and water, will you pay attention to this little thing?"
Xiao Jing shook her head, of course not, and it wasn't like going into the mountains to play a survival adventure game.
Lin Haoxuan pulled out a ditch vegetable fern near the mountain stream and chewed it, Xiao Jing was shocked, and then he also pulled out one and bit it, this is life and death.
Lin Haoxuan looked at the sky while biting, this Misty Cliff really didn't even have birds, which made Lin Haoxuan's heart a little uneasy, where is the dangerous thing in this mountain?
Professor Mu and the others have already looked for some branches on the spot, but found that there is no fire on the ground, everyone is a modern person, and the natural ones they bring are modern fire tools, but they have been washed away by the mudslide and do not know where to go.
Although the primitive people of Zhilu Dao could drill wood for fire and flint for fire, no one had ever tried it, Gao Weishan and Xu Changchen tried more than a dozen times under the theoretical guidance of Professor Mu and Zhou Yijia without success.
Even Zhang Fengsheng, who was born locally, thought about the process of making a fire with a flint by the old man in the village, hid aside with two stones, and beat it for half an hour without results.
Just when everyone was depressed, Lin Haoxuan and Xiao Jing came back with two big bags of mountain stream water and a few large bundles of wild vegetables, Zhou Zhou Jia and they looked at Lin Haoxuan for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The things on this mountain are poisonous, can you eat these things?" β
Lin Haoxuan smiled slightly, picked up a few raw wild vegetables and sent them to his mouth, and also took a few sips of mountain stream water, and said to Zhou Jia and them: "Don't worry, I'm still alive, and you can't die." β
Zhou Jiajia and the others saw that Lin Haoxuan was really fine, and they were busy and relieved, and when they saw a few large bundles of wild vegetables and two large bags of mountain stream water, their mood immediately became happy
Unexpectedly, Lin Haoxuan was able to find food and water in the mountains, so his group of people would not starve to death for the time being, and when the most basic problems of survival were solved, other problems would become less important.
"Lin Haoxuan, how do you know that this water and these wild vegetables can be eaten?" Professor Mu was ashamed to ask what everyone wanted to know.
Xiao Jing smiled slightly, and re-elaborated Lin Haoxuan's explanation to her just now, and everyone couldn't help but feel sad about their incompetence while admiring.
"Lin Haoxuan, what do you use to hold water? The capacity is so big. Yuan Jingjing, who was about to pour water to drink, saw that the size of two water bags was amazing, adding up to several liters.
Lin Haoxuan smiled slightly, patted the water and said, "Balloons, when we came, we brought a few balloons with good toughness to use for recreation, who knows that it is also very good to use them to fill water." β
Xiao Jing's face became a little red, a little embarrassed, before He Nan came to Wudu, Lin Haoxuan had asked her to bring two boxes of balloons, but Xiao Jing misunderstood the meaning and brought two boxes of ***.
When he was in Wudu, Lin Haoxuan went to buy some balloons, Xiao Jing was still naΓ―ve and questioned, is it better to use balloons than ***? Unexpectedly, Lin Haoxuan actually used balloons to fill water, and now that he thinks about it, he is really ashamed.
Gao Weishan and Xu Changchen sighed, threw the sticks and planks aside, and shook their heads at Zhou Yijia, Zhang Fengsheng also put down the stone in his hand, turned his sore arm, and muttered, "Is this ancient man a lie?" This stone can't be knocked out of fire. β
Lin Haoxuan smiled lightly, Zhou Jia and they are invincible in the world with those high-tech equipment, and they can't even light a fire without those sophisticated equipment, it's really sad.
Lin Haoxuan put the two bags of water in Yuan Jingjing's hands, then walked a few steps forward, took the wooden board and stick, turned his head and said to everyone, "Are there any tissues?" β
Paper towels are usually found on women's bodies.
Lin Haoxuan soon had two packs of tissues in his hand, Lin Haoxuan took out one, tore it up, put it in the wooden hole, and then put two more paper towels under the wooden board, and then inserted the wooden stick in his hand and kept rubbing it, turning faster and faster, so that the friction generated heat.
After a while, green smoke came out of the wooden cave, and the broken paper towels were burning, Lin Haoxuan hurriedly blew the two paper towels next to him with his mouth, and put some dry pine needles on them, and soon the fire was ignited, and Yuan Jingjing around them cheered.
"Obediently, Brother Lin, you are really good, no wonder a few of us tossed for half an hour without the slightest spark, it turned out that there was no ignition substance." Zhang Fengsheng happily patted Lin Haoxuan's shoulder and praised him: "And you can still find food and drink in this mountain, it's really not simple, it's not simple, it's a capable person." β
There was fire, food and water, everyone's mood became better, swept away the depression in their hearts, began to talk and laugh, and began to cook wild vegetable soup around the campfire, eating the only hot food in the past two days.
This night, it seems a little bleak, but it seems a little warm, although the mountain wind is very strong and cold, in the residual heat of the fire, everyone is still crowded, comfortable for the night.
In the next two days, Lin Haoxuan and the others traveled very slowly, almost a carpet search, and when they reached this height, their field of vision was already very broad.
Although they don't have sophisticated equipment, their professional skills have also come into play.
Scanning the geography as far as their eyes could see, they believed that if they really came to the vicinity of an ancient tomb, they could easily determine what age the tomb was, what method should be used to enter it, and where they should put what they were looking for.
On this morning, after an hour of arduous trekking, Lin Haoxuan and the others finally stopped at an altitude of 3,100 meters with the primitive wooden stick and wooden sword in hand, and the remaining more than 100 meters could not climb again.
It's not that they don't want to climb, but there is no road anymore, the only mountain road is broken at an altitude of 3,100 meters, and in front of Lin Haoxuan is a real mountain wall of dozens of meters, if it weren't for the altitude rangefinder in Zhou Jia's hand to tell everyone, this is only 3,100 meters, it is estimated that everyone thinks this is the peak.
Gao Weishan and Xu Changchen took the mountain knife and wooden stick and knocked on the mountain wall, the heavy sound showed that there was no hole behind the mountain wall, and then they beat the ground again, but the soil on the ground was too hard and had no effect, so they shook their heads at Zhou Jia.
Zhou Jia was a little stunned: What about the sarcophagus tomb? Isn't it on it? Or is it not here at all?
Yuan Jingjing sighed and said regretfully: "It would be good if there was a radar, and if you test it, you will know if there is any space behind the mountain wall, and if there is, you will find a way to get there; If not, just go home, don't worry so much now. β
"There's always a way!" Lin Haoxuan, who was sitting on the ground, sighed softly.
Everyone looked at Lin Haoxuan, now Lin Haoxuan seemed to have become their backbone, Lin Haoxuan shook his head and muttered to himself: "It would be nice if it thundered." β
Everyone looked at Lin Haoxuan in surprise, I don't know how he could say something inexplicable, you have to know that if there is another heavy rain, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be another mudslide, and there will be nowhere to escape when the time comes.
"Boom" A thunderbolt exploded, as if it was responding to Lin Haoxuan's call.
