Chapter 127 Poisonous Mushrooms
In February, the spring rain began to fall, and the sun shone brightly from time to time. The tender buds on the trees and the green grass on the ground began to sprout as if they had eaten the nutrient solution that Koko had described. Xiao Qian began to take the children out to pick wild vegetables, and there was fresh wild vegetables to eat at home every night.
Datou and the others were very excited that they could run up the mountain, and Manbao was also very excited.
Because many of the wild vegetables that emerge from the ground are identified by scientists as extinct or endangered plants.
In the past, because Manbao rarely participated in such activities, the wild vegetables she saw had already been turned into pots of cooked vegetables, so Koko didn't pay attention to them.
This year, Manbao went to school, so he could not only walk around outside, but also run around in the fields. So, Keke's scan was incredible: this plant had already become extinct in history, that plant was now an endangered species, and only a few of them remained in a certain place...
Wild vegetables seem to be very tenacious in this era, but in Koko's time, they were basically extinct.
So Manbao also joined the ranks of digging wild vegetables. Every day after school, she would go out with a pointed piece of bamboo. Others would only pick the tender shoots of wild vegetables, but she would dig them up with the roots.
In the past, because the plants that needed to be included were either very large or very few, Keke never asked Duomanbao to dig more. But now wild vegetables are everywhere, in large quantities and with small plants, so Keke asked her to dig more so that they can be cultivated and studied by scientific researchers.
Of course, the corresponding points given to Manbao will also increase.
Manbao was very happy about this and enjoyed digging wild vegetables every day.
Because there were too many people picking fruits, the nearby places were gone, so Manbao couldn't help but walk a little further away, and came to the foot of a mountain.
It rained last night. Daya carefully avoided the puddles on the ground and persuaded Manbao, "Auntie, let's stop digging and go home. We have enough wild vegetables to eat."
There are many people in the family, and Datou and Daya know best where to find wild vegetables, so they have picked enough for the family long ago. Only my aunt is so keen on digging wild vegetables these days. It’s okay to dig them, but she also digs with soil. Sometimes she throws away the wild vegetables she has dug while everyone is playing.
Daya felt that her aunt was a real worry.
Manbao felt her face was a little itchy, so she wiped it and found water. She looked up at the sky and discovered that the leaves above her head were dripping water.
Manbao rolled his eyes, looked back at Datou and Daya who were also standing under the tree, then ran up and kicked the tree directly.
As a result, she lost her balance and sat down on the grass, but the tree still shook and water drops fell down. Datou and Daya screamed and ran away.
Manbao laughed happily, very happy.
Koko: ...
Manbao had obviously found a fun game and started shaking the trees everywhere. Datou and Daya also started shaking them, giggling with joy.
Koko watched quietly as the host moved further and further into the woods. Just as he was about to warn her, he suddenly detected a familiar yet unfamiliar data. He extended his tentacles and saw a sliver of white in the grass. He became excited and said, "Host, I've found a very precious plant. Come over here quickly, come over here quickly!"
Manbao's face flushed red, and he always stopped playing and asked, "Where is it?"
"It's in the grass in front of you on the left. Part the grass and look. It's white..."
Manbao pushed it aside and shouted excitedly, "Mushroom!"
She reached out to pick it, but Daya caught up from behind, slapped her hand away and said, "Auntie, this doesn't look edible."
Big Head also caught up and squatted on the ground to look at it. After a while, he said, "It looks like it's edible."
Manbao had eaten mushrooms before, and they were the most delicious when cooked with meat. She swallowed her saliva and reached out to continue picking them. Keke said, "Host, your niece is right. These are poisonous mushrooms and cannot be eaten."
Manbao retracted his hand, his eyes widened, and he asked him in his heart, "Why pick it if you can't eat it?"
Keke was clearly excited. "Not only edible plants are valuable in this world. Inedible plants are equally valuable. This poisonous mushroom became extinct long before the Earth Era of human history. It has decomposition capabilities, not to mention its toxins are very valuable for research. It's a pity that this mushroom is only found south of the Yangtze River, and its numbers are very small. This is all the information I have at the moment. Host, please include it first."
Manbao then looked at the three white mushrooms in front of him and asked, "Are they poisonous?"
To emphasize its value, Koko nodded seriously, "It's very poisonous."
Manbao's little butt moved back, and asked Datou Daya to step back a little, and said seriously: "Da Ya is right, this is poisonous."
Big Head: "How did my aunt know?"
"It's written in the book." Manbao thought this reason was very useful.
Datou patted his butt and stood up, "Then let's go."
Manbao poked the ground with a bamboo stick and said, "I want to dig."
Datou and Daya were stunned and couldn't understand. "It's poisonous and can't be eaten. What are you doing with it, aunt?"
Manbao said guiltily, "Let's play."
When Datou heard this, he stretched out his hand and pulled it for her, then stuffed it into her hand and said, "Play with it, just don't eat it."
The treasure that I don’t dare to dig with my hands: …
Manbao put the poisonous mushrooms on the ground, then tore off a large leaf to wrap them up. Holding the leaf, she felt a little relieved.
Because they found poisonous mushrooms, Datou and Daya were very curious and dug into the grass to see if there were any mushrooms.
There were no edible mushrooms, but there were quite a few poisonous ones, some white and some yellow. Datou thought that Xiaogu might like to play with them, so he picked them all and put them on the leaves for her, and coaxed her, "Xiaogu, you can play with them slowly when you get home."
Manbao nodded helplessly, turned over and warned him, "Big Head, don't grab it with your hands, what if you get poisoned?"
"No," said Big Head, who was very experienced, "It's fine if you don't put it in your mouth."
Sure enough, there was nothing wrong. Datou and Daya pulled out a lot of them, and even Manbao finally helped to pull them out, but there was no problem at all.
After returning home, Manbao found an opportunity to give a large bag of poisonous mushrooms with leaves to Koko, and then went to squat in the yard to wash his hands.
Daya was worried that she might have eaten some, so she asked, "Auntie, where did you throw all the mushrooms?"
"Thrown it outside."
Only then did Daya feel relieved.
Seeing Manbao playing in the water again, Xiao Qian pulled him up, wiped his hands, and asked, "What mushrooms? Did you go into the mountains to look for mushrooms?"
"It's not edible. My aunt wants to come and play."
Little Qian said, "Don't go to the mountains anymore. What if you fall? Also, poisonous mushrooms and fruits are growing in the mountains now. You are not allowed to eat anything you like."
Then he stared at Manbao and them and said, "Especially your aunt, she has rarely been out and doesn't know what to eat. You are not allowed to pick anything for her to eat."
