Chapter 146
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he slapped his head and put on his clothes silently.
"Doctor Lu, I'm sorry, but I can lend you some clothes."
Lu Zhan looked at her in confusion.
Chu Qiao: "Hurry up, don't waste time."
Lu Zhan was wearing a thin green cotton jacket. He took it off and handed it to Chu Qiao with a puzzled look on his face, revealing the black vest underneath and his strong muscles.
"Oh my god, Doctor Lu is so knowledgeable?"
"When you're dressed, you look thin, but when you're undressed, you have flesh."
"As a man, what should I do if I'm drooling?"
"I'm straight, really."
Dr. Lu looked down at his sexy curves and took the opportunity to say, "Everyone is welcome to come to my gym to exercise. Say your name, Mr. Chu, and you can enjoy a 20% discount on the annual meeting."
Chu Qiao was tying Lu Zhan's shirt around his legs. Hearing this, he gave Lu Zhan a thumbs up.
"Mr. Lu, good marketing."
Lu Zhan: "Of course we can't miss these opportunities in vain."
Chu Qiao curled his lips: "I'll leave this to you."
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran across the grassland. The mosquitoes and flies in the grass were startled by Chu Qiao and all flew into the air. Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard in the air, blending harmoniously with the buzzing sound of the drone.
Chu Qiao seemed to be running around randomly, but in fact, the path she took was never repeated.
About ten minutes later, Chu Qiao felt his right leg getting heavier.
I felt a chill on my legs.
Chu Qiao stopped, touched his clothes, nodded with satisfaction, and took off his heavy coat.
She shook her coat in front of the camera, and the originally light blue shirt became a little darker. A gust of wind blew, and the clothes only swayed slightly.
"The clothes are now full of water, and this water is rare fresh water."
As she spoke, she crumpled the clothes into a ball, raised her head, and wrung the clothes, squeezing the moisture in the clothes into Chu Qiao's mouth.
Lu Zhan, who was standing by, stood up and saw this scene.
His face flushed, he strode over, snatched his clothes, and handed the kettle to Chu Qiao: "Drink this."
Chu Qiao shook the kettle, which contained half a pot of water, and closed the lid.
"Doctor Lu, we are not nouveau riche, keep this."
She pointed at the clothes and said, "Hurry up and squeeze the water out of the clothes. I need to collect some more."
Lu Zhan squeezed the water into his mouth. What he worried about did not happen. There was no sweat smell in his clothes as he had imagined.
Fortunately, he rarely sweats, and they have only been here for half a day, so his clothes are not dirty, otherwise he would have been even more embarrassed just now.
Chu Qiao watched eagerly as Lu Zhan squeezed out all the water from his clothes. He immediately snatched the clothes and continued walking around in the grass. The sun had become scorching hot at this time, and the dew on the grass was getting less and less. Chu Qiao barely absorbed half of the water.
Their kettles were only half full of water, but this was already a pleasant surprise.
The two continued walking. On the endless grassland, there was nothing but mosquitoes and flies.
Chu Qiao thought that Feiyou was full of edible plants, but the reality was that she had not found any edible plants so far.
"Master Chu, isn't that dogtail grass?"
"Yeah, didn't you say that foxtail grass is edible?"
"With so many, we won't have to worry about food on this trip to the grassland."
Chu Qiao pulled out a piece of grass and handed it to the camera.
At first glance, this grass does look very similar to foxtail grass, but upon closer inspection, there are obviously no black seeds in its long hairs.
"Isn't this foxtail grass?"
"That should also be a relative of the dog's tail."
Chu Qiao threw away the grass: "This is called spike grass. It is the tallest grass growing on the land of Africa and is known as the king of grass."
"Master Chu, I have little education, so don't lie to me."
"That's right, it looks so short."
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "In the first six months of its growth, it's almost the shortest grass on the grassland, only an inch tall. People can't even see it growing. But after six months, once the rain comes, the spiky grass will be like a magic spell, and in three to five days, it will grow to the height of a person."
This was also the first time Lu Zhan had heard of this kind of grass: "Grows faster than bamboo?"
Chu Qiao nodded. "During the first six months of its growth, it was actually growing, but it wasn't growing physically, it was growing its roots. In six months, the roots of the longhair grass could grow up to 28 meters."
Although hairy grass is everywhere, netizens immediately lost interest in it because it is not edible.
Chu Qiao wasn't as discouraged as everyone else: "Although the hairy grass can't be eaten, it can be used as fire starter. It's everywhere on the African grasslands, so there's no need to collect it specifically for use."
The two men walked through the long, hairy grass that was half a meter high. The mosquitoes in the grass were denser than those flying in the air.
Even though the two of them were wrapped tightly, they still did not cause any disturbance.
Chu Qiao sat in the grass, a mosquito lying on her sleeve.
The mosquitoes here are very different from those in Beidou Country.
Chu Qiao waved his hand and the camera zoomed in, revealing that the mosquito was a full 2 centimeters long.
"Oh my god, what kind of mosquito is this big?"
"A fighter jet among mosquitoes."
"Beat him to death, beat him to death."
"It's been very hot in China these past two days. I've been bitten by mosquitoes every day. I'm used to it."
Lu Zhan grabbed the mosquito by the wings and said, "Don't underestimate mosquitoes. The mosquito's breath is inside its proboscis, and it can spread yellow fever, filariasis, and dengue fever. Africa is the area with the most severe dengue fever."
Chu Qiao looked at the mosquito carefully, frowning, "Mosquitoes of the genus Culex can also spread viral encephalitis. This mosquito looks very similar."
After saying that, Chu Qiao slapped the mosquitoes to death.
But there were so many mosquitoes in the grass that it was impossible for two people to eliminate them all with their bare hands.
Chu Qiao originally wanted to find a place with water and put some mud on his face to avoid mosquito bites, but they walked for a whole morning and did not find any water source.
Mosquitoes obviously prefer Chu Qiao's blood, and most of the mosquitoes around are circling around Chu Qiao.
While Lu Zhan was chasing mosquitoes away from Chu Qiao, he was looking carefully into the distance.
Suddenly, Lu Zhan stopped.
"Why don't you leave?"
Lu Zhan pointed to the plants in front of him and said, "There are good things over there."
Chu Qiao followed Lu Zhan's gaze and saw a few large trees about 4 meters high in the east.
Chu Qiao did not find this plant in the encyclopedia of forest plants in his mind, and Lu Zhan raised the corner of his mouth.
Walk quickly towards the tree.
Only after she walked into the tree did Chu Qiao see the leaves clearly. Although she didn't know the specific name of the tree, she roughly knew which family it belonged to.
"Rutaceae?"
Lu Zhan nodded. "This plant is a treasure in Africa. We used it to repel mosquitoes during our peacekeeping missions. It's called the mosquito repellent tree in Africa. The leaves contain citronellal. As long as you burn the leaves, no bugs will appear around you."
Chu Qiao was surprised to find that there were no mosquitoes around the tree.
