doomsday survival

Chapter 7 The Treasure House
I almost fell from a tree last night, and now this problem is solved with the discovery of schisandra.

With the Schisandra vine torn off, Shi Jian carefully climbed up the tree.After choosing a position to ride on a branch with his back against the trunk, Shi Jian wrapped a cane around the trunk around his waist, tied a knot, then put his legs on the branch, and fixed it with the remaining cane.

"Now you don't need to sleep while riding," Shi Jian patted his crotch with his hand, "You worked hard yesterday."

Silent all night.

In the early morning, the warm sunlight casts mottled shadows on the ground through the broad leaves of the birch trees.The birds that had rested all night began to sing joyfully, and the woodpeckers were beating on the tree trunk, making a rapid bang bang sound, which woke Shi Jian up from his dream like an alarm clock.

After untying the rattan, Shi Jian, who rode on a tree and swayed his legs to relax his muscles, began to plan a new day.

"You need to familiarize yourself with the terrain here." Yesterday I was only focused on looking for water sources, and didn't check the nearby terrain.

"I still have to find food. Except for six wild eggs, I only ate some wild vegetables yesterday. The nutrition is too poor." Solving the stomach is always the top priority. "You can try to catch a few fish to eat."

Feeling that his legs were not so numb, Shi Jian climbed down from the tree, and saw that the bandages on his hands were torn and unusable.

While walking out of the forest and observing the surrounding environment, Shi Jian discovered that the Xiaoxing'an Mountains are really rich in products.This birch grove alone contained several species of plants bearing berries, some visibly immature and some already looking edible.

Among them is a shrub about 1.5 meters high, with oblong leaflets, and oval berries hanging on the branches. The blue-purple berries have greens on them, which look as round as agate and are mouth-watering.

Shi Jian couldn't help but bent down to check. Seeing that some berries had been bitten by insects, he picked one with confidence.

The berries are delicious, sweet and sour, very delicious.Shi Jian happily picked off a lot, put them in a hat, and ate them as he walked.

What Shi Jian didn't know was that this berry was called indigo fruit, a type of honeysuckle. The fruit contained a variety of amino acids and vitamin C. It could be eaten raw or made into wine.The twigs, flower buds and fruits of the indigo fruit can also be used as medicine to clear away heat and detoxify.The beverage made from the berries of the indigo fruit is known as the "King of Drinks".

On the way, Shi Jian also saw a few pear trees growing among the white birches, which were actually wild sorbets.However, the pears are not yet ripe, and they will have to wait at least two or three months before they can be eaten.

As for the mushroom Shi Jian under the tree root, ignore it, after all, 80% of the fungi are poisonous.And Shi Jian only knows the cultivated mushrooms sold in the market, so it's better to stay away from these mushrooms.

But Shi Jian can still recognize the fungus found on a dead tree later.Usually, the fungus we buy is dried, and it should be fermented with water when eating, but the fresh fungus is slightly poisonous, and it will cause skin rashes after direct consumption. Plant solar dermatitis will occur after exposure to sunlight, causing skin itching and causing skin irritation. Redness, swelling, itching, rash, blisters, and edema appear on the exposed part of the skin.Shi Jian also picked a lot and put them in his hood, ready to wash by the stream and dry in the sun for later use.

After leaving the birch forest, Shi Jian found several hickory trees at the edge of the forest.It is also recognizable because of the unripe walnuts on top.

It was nothing to find the walnut tree. Looking at the hazelnut forest in front of him, Shi Jian felt extremely happy.Although hazelnuts will take a month to mature, they are easy to store after drying, and they are rich in nutrients and contain a lot of oil, so they can be eaten as food.The most important thing is that with such a large slice, Shi Jian can even eat it until next year!
Walking through the hazel forest, Shi Jian saw another expensive thing - blueberries.I saw clumps of blueberries growing high or low on the hillside, and the dark purple blueberries dotted among the green leaves were particularly eye-catching.Blueberry is also known as the "Queen of Fruits" and "The Fruit of Color Contact".Xiaoxing'anling is an important producing area of ​​wild blueberries. Because it is not easy to pick and the quantity is small, it even sold for 60 yuan a catty in Shijian at that time.

"It's all mine!" Shi Jian shouted loudly.

"How much are these worth!" Shi Jian's eyes were filled with ￥ symbols.

"But who's going to buy it now?" Frustration ensues. "Forget it, don't care about him, anyway, if you have enough to eat but you don't get hungry, that's the kingly way!"

Picked some more blueberries and put them in the hood, which was already full.Shi Jian didn't bother to look around any longer, and prepared to go to the creek.

On the way, he passed a wide and flat rock, which just provided Shi Jian with a place to dry the fungus.

Shi Jian broke off a shrub branch as a broom, cleaned the rock carefully, and then spread the fungus on the rock.Judging by the current weather, it doesn't look like it's going to rain. It is estimated that the fungus should be dry after two days.

After drying the fungus, Shi Jian walked towards the stream. As soon as he got to the stream, he saw two gray shadows flashing past. After looking carefully, it turned out that they were two hares who came to drink water and were scared away by Shi Jian.A little farther away, a dozen birds drinking water were also startled and flew up.

Shi Jian took a look, and it turned out that those were wild pigeons, that is, turtledoves.

The group of turtledoves circled a few times in the sky and landed a little farther away.There was also a roe deer drinking water there, known as the silly roe deer, it didn't care about Shi Jian's arrival at all, it was still drinking water with its head down, only looked up when the group of turtledoves fell, and saw Shi Jian Jian stood there, looking at Shi Jian curiously.What's more, he even took two steps in Shi Jian's direction. Seeing that Shi Jian didn't move, he lowered his head and continued to drink water.

"Damn it!" Shi Jian cursed casually, "I was ignored by the stupid roe deer!"

"One day we must catch it and eat meat!" Shi Jian vowed to himself.

Going to catch roe deer now?Forget it, Shi Jian can't run away from it.To catch roe deer, you must use traps.

Looking around again, I found that there are quite a lot of animals coming here to drink water in the early morning. There are a few chipmunks and quails in the upstream, and a few hares in the downstream. A little farther away, a few red deer are shaking their big horns and drinking water. By the water's edge, listen to the sounds around you with your ears upright, and keep vigilant at all times.

There are two ducks swimming in the stream playing in the water, with red beaks and crown feathers on the head, the one with the black crown feathers is black from head to back, the other parts are white, and the rib feathers are white. There are black scale-like markings on the upper part.The other one is smaller, with a tan head, blue upper body and white lower body.

Shi Jian is familiar with this duck. Its scientific name is Chinese merganser. It is a national first-class protected animal. It belongs to the relict species of the Tertiary Period. It has been more than 1000 million years old and is known as a living fossil among birds.It is as famous as the giant panda, the South China tiger and the Yunnan golden monkey, and is also a national treasure of China.

Shi Jian only found out that there is a green water Chinese merganser reserve in Yichun by searching the Internet before coming to Yichun, so he learned a lot about the Chinese merganser.

Seeing so many wild animals, and looking at the blueberries and indigo fruits in his hood, Shi Jian couldn't help sighing: "Xiaoxing'an Mountains is really a treasure house!" At the same time, he has greater confidence in his future life here .

After sighing, Shi Jian picked up the stream water with his hands and washed his face.

Without confirming the safety of the water source, Shi Jian tried not to drink water directly. Although Shi Jian also knew that there was a problem, his simple method was useless, but it was a psychological comfort after all.

After rinsing his mouth with filtered water, he drank some water and Shi Jian sat by the stream and started his own breakfast.Blueberries and indigo fruits do not need to be washed, they can be eaten directly. Anyway, they are now truly natural and pesticide-free.Shi Jian ate the indigo fruit and blueberries while looking at the fish in the water trying to find a solution.

How can I catch fish?
