Let Go Of That Primordial Man Chapter 164: Old pumpkin
Master Niu took hundreds of totem warriors, striding forward in the mountains under the falling snow.
The snow is not heavy, so the thin snow on the ground after a night is not enough for people to use snowboards to advance, so walking on their legs has become their only choice.
Fortunately, in today’s mountain forest, while various animals have become scarce, the danger of running in the forest is greatly reduced; before the time is noon, Master Niu’s position is away from the Blackstone Tribe. There are hundreds of miles away.
Snowflake falls on the head and face that are not covered by clothing, or slides directly along the collar into the neck. The cold and cold people are very uncomfortable, but no soldier has any complaints about it.
Instead, they looked at these snowflakes, and their eyes showed infinite hope; when the snow melted, there would be water, and after the water, the cracked earth would be nourished again.
This means that as long as they can survive this winter, the familiar mountain forests around next spring, various plants will flourish again, and the fruit will be extraordinarily fat; even those beasts who migrate away, Will return to this familiar home again.
The premise is that they must be able to survive this winter, and the hope of all this is on the cow who is now trekking in the mountains and forests...
In this snowy weather, Master Niu is not staying in the tribe, but appears in a place far away from the tribe; there are compelling reasons:
In the negotiations last night, the 13 tribes, including the Weak Water Tribe, not only agreed to the request for the establishment of a tribe alliance, but also Niu Ye served as the first leader; at the same time, they even handed over all the inheritance of witchcraft. He gritted his teeth and agreed.
But the witch of the twelve and other twelve tribes, as the top indigenous elites in the Luolei Mountains, are not so easy to be fooled; they also put forward their conditions immediately, before handing over the inheritance, first Master Niu must prove that he has tens of thousands of people who can lead the league to survive this winter.
A scene like this appeared: The witches of the twelve tribes, staying in the log cabin of the Blackstone tribe, began to use secret techniques to copy their heritage on the hides; and Master Niu brought a hundred names, The team composed of the guards of the messenger group and the Blackstone tribe warriors set off early in the morning to the farther mountains.
Master Niu wants to use practical actions to tell these buns that, in the forests, you can’t find food in the case of a drought, but you know a lot of things you can eat; you can find some food in the forests, This is just one of the many means of Master Niu.
Of course, if Master Niu did this, he naturally had his energy in his heart. Even if he couldn’t find anything else, Huaishan and Pueraria, the long-proven existence, could always be found in the forest.
That's why he had to run so far, because within a hundred miles of the Blackstone tribe, they were basically dug a few months ago.
After his understanding, among the many plant species in the mountain forest, the indigenous people of the Luolei Mountains currently have no more than one hundred edible species; most of them are still various berries and trees. The fruit on the top, and mushrooms or something.
They have not yet formed a concept for the consumption of various rhizomes of plants; that is, among the few less than one hundred foods, they have made countless dauntless attempts by their ancestors in past dynasties and ate to death I didn't know that there were few people before I discovered it.
Every food proven to be edible is an extremely precious legacy for them.
After learning about Master Niu’s plans, the faces of people such as Mustard and Witch all showed strong emotions; they all knew how much new food meant to them. significance.
And looking at Master Niu, he obviously has more than one kind this time.
In a sense, the new food category is also a tribe’s extremely important knowledge and inheritance; in this way, the witch who had to hand over the inheritance in desperation suddenly felt that this deal they It’s not too bad...
Suddenly, a series of huge yellow fruits on the thin snow attracted the attention of Master Niu, and he rushed all the way all the way; these have irregularly round fruits, and the big feet are as big as a person’s arms. The smallest portion is no less than ten pounds.
"Is this a pumpkin! But why does it look so bad?" Master Niu muttered in a low voice.
Always follow the footsteps of Master Niu, intending to prevent the reckless news of accidents at all times, and lowered his voice to remind:
"Master Niu, I don’t know if this is a pumpkin in your mouth, but we call it a melon; the melon shell is very hard, and the flesh inside is a bit bitter, and if you eat more, you will diarrhea, yes. What can not be eaten, except for some large herbivorous beasts, no other beasts will eat these things."
In order to prove his claim, Mang took out a stone knife from his body; Master Niu clearly saw that when Mang did not use the power of the totem, it took a little effort to open it. The hard shell of the melon.
Obviously, this thing is not a concept with the pumpkin that fell in the mind of Master Niu.
Master Niu, who rejoices in a white scene, can only helplessly turn around and walk away, but his heart is full of strong unwillingness, because the flesh in the shell of the melon is surprisingly similar to the flesh in the pumpkin.
He stopped suddenly, but it was not because he knew that the flesh of the melon was very bitter, and he would have a dizzy brain to try another bite; instead, he opened the watch on his hand. ~IndoMTL.com~ Find it in the huge database downloaded from it.
Sometimes a smile came up in the corner of Master Niu’s mouth. The fruit in front of him was indeed not a pumpkin, but if the experts in the data weren’t bullshit, this thing was simply the ancestor of pumpkin.
For a while, I really didn’t know the old cow called this thing, so I decided to call this thing old pumpkin.
Considering that a large proportion of the two plane species are strikingly similar, Master Niu decided to believe the data.
The information says that the ancestors of pumpkins in the prehistoric era had a hard shell, and only large beasts could use their teeth to bite open to eat; at the same time, it was also spread by the seeds discharged after the large beasts were eaten.
And most of these old pumpkins are bitter for humans, the cucurbitacin contained in them is very harmful to the human body; eating too much is just diarrhea, which can already reflect these indigenous people, like animals Strong constitution.
But the pumpkins of the modern plane are gradually domesticated based on these old pumpkins; this also means that not all of these old pumpkins are inedible.
There will be a small part of it that is not so bitter, and the harm to the primitive people can also be accepted; Master Niu estimates that after eating, it will be a little uncomfortable in the stomach 1
So, under the direction of Master Niu, Mang and others opened a small mouth for each old pumpkin, and took a little tasting; finally, among the dozens of old pumpkins in this area, they selected The seven old pumpkins, which are considered edible, weigh more than 600 pounds.
To be honest, it is estimated that these seven old pumpkins are taken back, and after stewing, the taste is still quite unpalatable; it is just that Master Niu is convinced that the indigenous people in this part have no choice!
