With a "rustling" sound, the accumulated dead leaves were pushed aside by a bone shovel. Han Cheng stood not far away and watched, looking forward to the appearance of bamboo shoots.
"Wozhi!"
After the two shovels were used, what appeared was not surprise, but shock!
A yellow snake, similar in color to the dead branches, jumped out from here.
This guy was nearly half a meter long and almost as thick as a rolling pin used to roll out dumpling skins. He was very aggressive. After coming out, he did not run away. Instead, he sat cross-legged with his head held high, spitting out a scarlet tongue from his mouth, and looked coldly at everyone who had disturbed his sweet dream.
Han Cheng has always been afraid of snakes. Just looking at this cold and sinister animal makes people feel uncomfortable.
The sudden appearance of the snake gave him goose bumps all over his body in an instant, and he felt like the hair on his body was standing up.
I was just thinking about eating bamboo shoots, but I forgot that the bamboo forest near the river bank is the favorite habitat of snakes!
It is now late spring, and the snakes have already awakened.
“Swish!”
A bone shovel suddenly appeared and hit the snake directly. This majestic snake was instantly defeated.
It was pounded and rubbed against the ground by the bone shovel. Even if it coiled its body and rolled up the bone shovel hard, it was of no use.
The snake's head was quickly cut off by the bone shovel. The eldest brother took back the bone shovel, and under the astonished gaze of Han Cheng who took a few steps back, he reached out and pulled off the headless snake that was wrapped around it. He held it in his hand and shouted to Han Cheng excitedly, saying that lunch was now settled.
Han Cheng took a few steps back after seeing this.
As expected, he was still a pseudo primitive man and could not be as vigorous as his senior brothers. Looking at everyone who was so excited after catching two more snakes, Han Cheng's face twitched constantly.
The soil was dug up, revealing plump bamboo shoots. They had been accumulating energy for a long time, but their luck was not good. Before they had a chance to burst out with amazing growth rate, they were dug up. Together with the snakes that delivered food, they became food for the people of the Green Bird Tribe.
Han Cheng, who returned with a few bamboo shoots in his arms, left the bamboo forest with his senior brother and others and headed towards the place where the boat had been moored before.
The eldest brother was holding a bamboo pole with a diameter of about four centimeters in his hand.
This was cut down according to Han Cheng's instructions and used as a boat pole.
The slender and light bamboo pole is more suitable for making boat oars than any other wooden sticks.
This bamboo pole was cut from the bottom with a stone axe after the soil was dug up. If we didn't start from here, it would be difficult to cut a whole bamboo pole with the current felling tools of the Qingque tribe.
Han Cheng did not allow anyone to explore the depths of the bamboo forest. One reason was that there were many snakes in it. Even though the eldest brother and the others were extremely fierce, they were no match for the poisonous snakes. Once bitten by such a snake, this journey would be a sad one.
Secondly, Han Cheng was worried about meeting a guy who possessed extremely powerful strength but insisted on acting cute for a living.
This guy, don’t be fooled by his cute appearance, he is actually a hidden master.
Panda The panda is a bear first and a cat second. It was the mount of Chiyou who fought against the Yellow Emperor in the legend.
Han Cheng doesn't want to mess with the national treasure.
The skinned bamboo shoots and skinned snakes were thrown into a clay pot and boiled together.
After it was cooked, the eldest brother served a bowl to Han Cheng first.
Han Cheng was completely against eating snake meat, especially when he thought of the snake's sinister appearance, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Han Cheng swore that even if he starved to death or jumped off from here, he would never eat a single bite of bamboo shoots and snake soup!
But my stomach started to growl uncontrollably.
After waiting for a while, Han Cheng's resolute heart began to waver when he saw that the eldest brother and the others were eating happily and couldn't stop.
I just took a sip of the soup.
He said this to himself, brought the bowl to his mouth and took a sip carefully. It tasted surprisingly good, with the freshness of the bamboo shoots and the snake meat brought out to the extreme.
I didn’t taste anything in this bite, I’ll try it again... Han Cheng said to himself.
Now that I've finished the soup, let's try the snake meat...
Thus, the entire bowl of bamboo shoots and snake soup disappeared into Han Dashenzi's stomach.
After finishing one bowl, he still wasn't satisfied and asked for another bowl.
“It smells so good!”
After finishing the food, Han Cheng smacked his lips and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, he had the urge to take his senior brother and the others to the bamboo forest again, catch some snakes and make soup.
With the sound of waves and the movement of oars, the four canoes left the place where they had stayed for a night and half a day, and slowly sailed downstream of the river.
A green-headed water bird quietly poked its head out from the bushes. Seeing that the group of ferocious uninvited guests had really left, it couldn't help but open its mouth and shout for joy...
Han Chengli stood at the bow of the boat and used a charcoal pencil to draw a black dot on the south side of the confluence of the Red River and the Lu River, and wrote two words next to it - bamboo forest.
During the following days, Han Cheng and his companions just went downstream. After walking for a while, when they came across a place that was gentle and suitable for anchoring and landing, they would leave the boat and go ashore to look at the nearby vegetation, rocks and other things.
However, their good luck seemed to have run out. Apart from the bamboo forest, they did not find anything else that was particularly useful to the Qingque tribe.
Today is the sixth day since we left the tribe. As more water flows into the river, it becomes wider.
Not far ahead, a bay appeared in front of us. The river water here became extremely stable and there was no sign of it flowing.
Seeing that the sun was already setting a little, and everyone was already hungry, they stopped the boat, went ashore, and made a fire to cook.
Several fish cages hanging at the stern of the boat, most of which were submerged in water, were lifted up. Inside were the fish that had been caught earlier but not eaten.
After dinner, everyone did as they did in the past. They lengthened the ropes, used poles to push the small boats away from the shore, then walked towards the shore with weapons and tools to explore this uninhabited area.
"This is?"
After walking a few steps, Han Cheng stopped and looked at a few green plants in the weeds.
My heart is filled with anticipation.
The eldest brother, junior brother Sha, Shang and the others noticed something strange about the Son of God. They knew what the Son of God had discovered, so they all followed Han Cheng's gaze.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing special except the growing weeds.
Han Cheng took two quick steps and came to a clump of grass that was almost level with him, and looked carefully at the plants with large leaves.
The leaves of the plant are somewhat similar to palms, but it is obviously not a sycamore tree. There are some small thorns on the leaves, and there are some on the body as well. The roots are slightly purple in color.
This is……
Wild hemp?!
