Chapter 109 108. Dandelion Ball [Two in One]
With this big black fish around, Huai Yu poked his head out to look at the trap, then looked at the clear pond, guessing that there might not be many other fish in there.
After all, the big black fish is really ferocious.
But, it is really big, and looks like it has a lot of meat! Huaiyu adjusted the angle of the ground trap, and it was very difficult to clean the big black fish. Seeing its big tail swinging wildly and then calming down after "smacking" the stone, the whole person also relaxed.
Next——
Put on the backpack, fill it with the Klang ball, put the big black fish into the bag and place it on the locust flowers - after all, its survival ability is really strong, and it can survive without water for a while.
Finally, it’s Kataro.
"Taro, do you want me to lead you, or do you want to climb by yourself?"
Kataro flapped his wings and then stood there quietly, as if waiting for someone to hug him.
Huaiyu sighed: "Okay, but there's no room on my back - come on, stand in the bag and I'll hang it around my neck."
As expected of her! Huaiyu walked carefully on the mountain road, and now she was more certain of her previous position - after all, if she didn't have a subconscious mind of being strong and tough, how could she be so skilled at carrying weights now? I don't know how strong she was before... Was she 1.9 meters tall? Can a fist be as big as a sand pot?
At this moment, holding the bag in one hand and touching Kataro hanging on his chest with the other, Huaiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Kataro is not heavy.
…
After returning to the house with difficulty, Huaiyu first took the bag containing Kataro off his neck. He felt that his cervical spondylosis was about to relapse at such a young age.
Then I put the backpack down, and when I leaned back my shoulders, I felt numb and sore, with a slightly sour taste. It was so sour!
She rubbed it for a long time before the pain gradually eased.
Huai Yu bared his teeth and pulled open his collar to look at his shoulders, only to see two hideous marks of the backpack on them that were particularly obvious.
If you ignore it, it will soon turn purple and swollen, and then turn blue.
However, there was still a lot of work to do and he had no time to rest. Huaiyu turned his head, blew on his shoulder symbolically, and then went to look through his backpack.
The big black fish that was obediently in the bag was taken out. It was really big and even the bucket at home couldn’t hold it.
She thought about it, then got up with difficulty, took the shovel and went to the barnyard tree again. She put on her raincoat and dug a puddle in no time.
I don’t know if it was accidental or intentional, but two or three water balls hit my shoulders and back.
It didn't hurt, but Huaiyu almost called out "Big Cub" or "Second Cub".
She threw the black fish in directly, and watched it swing its tail in the shallow puddle. She breathed a sigh of relief, and now stared at the barnyard tree and turned her head proudly:
"Hit me, huh? Tomorrow, when I'm rested, I'll give your companions more energy!"
I don't believe that you two can't decide who's better here by the pond!
Next it was Kataro's ball.
The balls I picked today have a strange medicinal smell. The white and gold ones smell good, but the colorful one is a bit unpleasant and a bit pungent.
But Huaiyu had no intention of eating these anyway, so he stuffed them all back into the jar.
Looking at Kataro again, it is still standing there obediently, holding a locust flower in its two front paws and chewing it carefully. Its mouth moves and its antennae tremble, showing that it is very sensible.
Huaiyu felt a little bit sorry for it.
"Take a break, Taro. Aren't you really tired?"
She carried Kataro into the nest, thought for a while, filled a pot of locust flowers for it, and then gently touched its tentacles.
"If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, take a rest. Do you dung beetles have cheeks? If you keep chewing like this, I'm afraid your cheeks will... Alas!"
She sighed, she really had no idea what to do with this well-behaved Taro.
When he returned to the house and looked at the glass jar that was almost 80% full, Huaiyu began to ponder again -
Kotaro is really too hardworking! He has collected so many balls in less than two days. Will he have to build a room to store them? What else can this thing be used for besides fertilizer? When she thought of this, Uncle Zaozi's enthusiastic face appeared in her mind again. Huaiyu closed her eyes painfully and swore that she was a conscientious person and would never earn Taro's money! She stretched her arms and felt that her hands were even heavier.
But who can blame me now? If such a good thing on the mountain is ruined, Boss Tang will beat people up if he hears about it.
Huaiyu gritted his teeth, spread a new plastic bag on the ground, and then poured out all the heavy locust flowers in the basket.
The basket was pressed so firmly that it did not fall down for a moment when it was tilted.
She pushed them away with her hands, and the locust flowers quickly fell down.
However, after she fell down a few times, there was another solid layer inside, so she had to reach out and dig it out again.
The sore arms became heavier and heavier. By the time the entire basket of locust flowers had fallen to the ground, the plastic bags used for padding had covered half of the room, with a small hill of white locust flowers piled up on top.
Huaiyu’s eyes widened.
She picked up the backpack again and looked at it -
It was still the same size, how could it hold so much? But I didn't care about much at the moment, I just quickly picked up the broken branches and leaves in it, then wrapped them in a large plastic bag, took it directly under the barnyard tree, and washed it with the water ball.
I have to say, the locust flowers that have been soaked in water are really heavy.
But if you want to preserve the locust flowers well, you can't just rely on drying them in the spring sun.
Huaiyu took a deep breath silently to encourage himself, turned around and grabbed a handful of dry bamboo leaves to make a fire and began to boil water.
While boiling water, Huaiyu looked around the house again and found that even if there was a chimney, he would try not to cook in the house in the future.
With the naked eye, it was visible that the flying ash was vaguely being lifted up by the hot air currents, and now another layer of it had fallen on the table.
But she was too tired, so she decided to deal with the housework tomorrow.
…
The hot water was bubbling. Huaiyu stopped daydreaming and grabbed a handful of washed locust flowers nearby and put them in. After blanching them, he took them out again.
The fire in another pot was also burning fiercely. The pot was burned dry. After the drained locust flowers were put in, a slight crackling sound was soon heard.
In this way, he boiled water while frying the dried locust flowers. After frying, he had to spread them out to dry. Huaiyu kept moving and really felt like his arms were not his own.
If she had a vegetable in her field, she wouldn't have to work so hard! And there were too many locust flowers! She came back at noon, but it was not until the sky got dark that Huaiyu finally put all the dried locust flowers into plastic bags and sealed them for preservation.
Looking at the five large bags of locust flowers, she silently thought:
"Sell a big bag to Boss Tang, give half a bag to Zhou Qian, and give a handful to Uncle Zaozi..."
No matter how you calculate it, your inventory is more than enough! Huaiyu lay down on the bed, feeling that all the hard work of the day was worth it.
but!
Just after closing her eyes, she painfully climbed up from the bed - her chicks had not been fed yet!
No, the chicks are grown up, it's time to let them roam free, I'll leave them to the older and younger chicks tomorrow! There's always food to be found in the bamboo forest grass if you just dig around.
She no longer had the energy to chop wild grass into pieces for the chickens today. She just scooped out another bowl of rice with trembling hands and walked to the chicken coop trembling like an octogenarian.
Just as she scattered the rice in, she saw Kataro had come out from behind the curtain at some point and was looking at her curiously.
Huaiyu waved his hands weakly: "Taro...if you can still make a ball, put it in your bowl first. I have no strength...I am too tired..."
Her arms were so swollen and painful that she couldn't lift them, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead. Except for the two days when she was building the house and digging the vegetable patch, she hadn't worked so hard in a long time.
However, Taro flapped his wings and followed her into the house, then stood in front of the glass jar that was 80% full, motionless.
Huaiyu: ...
She simply lifted the lid and said weakly: "What are you going to do?"
The mouth of the pickle jar was not very big. Kataro's body was clinging to the edge of the jar, and his remaining four legs were sliding on the smooth jar, as if he wanted to pull something out of it.
Huaiyu was a little stunned.
After a moment she brought a basin and poured out the balls from the jar again: "What are you looking for?"
Kataro was indeed looking for something.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At this moment, it quickly came to the edge of the basin, dug around with its two front paws, and pulled out a yellow and green ball, which it then handed to Huaiyu obediently.
Huaiyu: ...
She held the ball carefully, vaguely remembering that this was the ball that Kataro had made with dandelions yesterday.
From the flowers to the stems to the leaves, it is completely gathered.
but……
“Give it to me?” She pointed at herself while holding the ball, and then refused three times in a row: “No, no, no, this is not my diet—not even for making tea.”
However, Kataro did not understand and still stood there stubbornly holding the ball, his two tentacles curved towards her, looking extremely well behaved.
Huai Yu hesitated for a moment shamefully.
The next moment, she still firmly believed: "No, really no."
Her refusal was too obvious, and Kataro was obviously a little anxious. At this moment, he flapped his wings vigorously twice and took two steps forward with the ball in his hands.
Then its front paw loosened, and the yellow and green ball was thrown into the bucket nearby.
Huaiyu: ...
She felt a little sorry for the bucket of clean water, and looked at Kataro again, but she couldn't get angry. Instead, she was worried that Kataro might be hurt.
But Kataro suddenly flapped his wings again and was still looking at him intently.
Huaiyu paused, and suddenly had a new idea——
"Isn't this... a soaked medicine?"
"Shouldn't I drink it?"
Kataro naturally couldn't answer, but Huaiyu always dared to try, and at this moment he tentatively reached his hand in.
Anyway, this bucket of water can't be used for anything else, and she will never eat the land.
As soon as the fingers entered the water, a cool breath instantly spread from the fingertips to the wrists, to the elbows, and then slightly upwards.
The feeling was fleeting, but her arm was now sore, swollen, and slightly warm, which was particularly obvious.
Huaiyu was startled and looked back at Kataro. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and pressed his entire arm into the bucket.
"hiss……"
She couldn't help but make a sound.
In this season, it should be very uncomfortable to put the whole arm into the cold water. But Huaiyu could clearly feel the cool air rising along the heavy and swollen arm.
And after the slight coolness, there was a slight warmth, soothing the soreness and swelling of the entire arm.
Huaiyu didn't know how much time had passed until this feeling completely disappeared.
She raised her arm stiffly, only to find that all traces of fatigue had disappeared.
Looking to the side, Kataro had already left the room. Huaiyu simply took off his coat, exposing his shoulders, and then used a towel dipped in medicine to wipe the wound on his head.
My shoulders have been carrying a heavy backpack today and have been under too much pressure that they shouldn't be under. At this moment, I feel pain from my bones to my meridians and skin. The two indentations are swollen and purple, which is very scary.
Although according to Huaiyu's work experience, most of the pain will dissipate after a night's sleep the next day, the pain felt before that cannot be eliminated.
I put the towel soaked in medicine on my shoulders. Besides being cool, I could also feel my shoulders heating up rapidly, as if the blood clots inside were constantly stirring and colliding...
She suddenly understood——
It turns out that Kataro's real ability is to extract and purify medicinal properties!
God! Fortunately, its existence was not revealed to too many people, otherwise Huaiyu could imagine that Gao Ming would not be able to protect it at all.
However, the temperature at night was still too cold. Huaiyu put on his clothes silently and started to boil water again.
Apart from anything else, Zhou Qian has made very careful arrangements for the various items in her new home. She even has a small synthetic resin bath tub!
Huaiyu rearranged the dandelion balls in the basin, leaving two of the same yellow-green color, and stuffed the rest back into the jar.
I'm so tired today, so I'll just indulge myself and use up all the stored water to have a good medicinal bath! Hot water was slowly added to the bucket, and the two dandelion balls quickly melted in it. When Huaiyu poured all the water in the room, including the melted cold water in the bucket just now, into the small bath bucket, hot microwaves began to ripple.
She tested the water temperature, then carefully sat in the bucket with great anticipation.
The cool medicinal properties and warm water continued to wash over his body. Huai Yu sighed, and all the fatigue of the day disappeared.
…
At this moment, in Huacheng Hospital, another person was also soaked in the special liquid.
The monitor connected to the bedside issued a cold prompt sound. The doctor and the man in the defense army uniform were sighing: "There is no way. The toxin has already infected the whole body... It's too late to amputate. When he was sent here, not only his body, but also his heart was swollen--"
"Isn't this a special antidote? Isn't this useless? It's enough to save your life! Aren't our prosthetics made very well? It doesn't matter!"
"It's not about whether to amputate or not - his left leg had already been amputated urgently when he was brought in!"
"But... the toxin is too strong."
The doctor shook his head sadly: "Even before the disaster, we still needed the corresponding serum to cure snake venom. Now he has been injected with digestive fluid by the mutant spider..."
I’m so tired, I really want to take a day off… Last time I didn’t write a single word for the whole day and my score was still 4.4, it’s been two months… How can I be so diligent!!! Unbelievable!
Good night.
My neighbor has asked for leave, so I won't be able to finish writing tonight. I won't struggle any more.
