Chapter 223 The Source of the Flower Fragrance
In the early morning, Chu Qiao fell into a deep sleep.
Less than an hour later, Chu Qiao felt a fragrance in his dream. The smell was a bit like roses, but stronger than roses.
Chu Qiao's breathing became heavier, and he inhaled greedily. This smell seemed to be so addictive that he couldn't stop.
Chu Qiao woke up suddenly. The feeling brought by this smell almost made her lose control. What made her even more puzzled was that she couldn't find the flower that emitted this fragrance.
This primeval jungle is located at the intersection of three countries and covers a large area. Chu Qiao's mission this time is to survive in the wilderness. There is no prescribed route, and she only needs to survive. Therefore, in order to save energy, she only explored the area around the camp.
Although there are many wild flowers around, there are no roses, Chinese roses or other plants of the Rosaceae family. Where does this smell come from, and why is it so strong?
Chu Qiao shook her head. She was always the one who wanted to get to the bottom of things. The more confused she was, the more she wanted to find out.
Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Diao. The wounds on its body had not healed completely yet, but compared to yesterday when it was on the verge of death, it could now walk around the camp and its health had obviously improved. It was obvious that the gallnut was very effective.
Chu Qiao boiled another pot of lotus leaf water, used part of it to make lotus root powder, gave part to Xiao Diao, and fed Xiao Diao the twenty pills left over from his homework.
After doing all this, the faint fragrance became much smaller. Chu Qiao looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the early morning. He couldn't wait any longer. It would be even more difficult to find the source of the fragrance if he waited any longer.
Xiao Diao hasn't fully recovered yet, so I didn't take him with me to vent my anger.
"Xiao Diao, look after the house. I'll be back soon."
Xiao Diao hummed and wanted to go with her, but was rejected by Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao walked north into the depths of the jungle. There was a highland there, which was higher than the terrain on Chu Qiao's side. The road was covered with thorns. Chu Qiao dodged them carefully. Most of her skin was exposed to the air and she could be scratched by these aggressive plants at any time.
The higher he went, the more Chu Qiao felt something was wrong. He looked around and saw nothing special except the thorns all over the mountain.
The straps on Chu Qiao's straw rope shoes were showing signs of breaking due to the constant friction from the dirt and stones.
Chu Qiao untied a piece of rope from his wrist and reinforced the rope that was about to break.
Just as he was about to get up, Chu Qiao locked his eyes and touched the dirt on the ground.
So humid?
Is there a water source on the mountain?
Chu Qiao was happy. If there really was water, he wouldn't need to filter the dirty water in the lake.
Chu Qiao suddenly became interested and didn't care about the scratches, and walked faster.
The surrounding plants hurriedly slipped away from behind Chu Qiao, and Chu Qiao climbed up the hillside in one breath.
A large patch of flowers blocked her way.
Chu Qiao was dazzled by the words on the ground. She hadn't seen so many colors for several days. Pink, red, yellow, and layers of flowers seemed to be trying to show off their beauty.
So beautiful
Is this naturally grown?
Nature's Rose Garden?
[Master Chu, roses?]
Chu Qiao lowered his head, parted the petals, and examined the stems. After carefully distinguishing them, he smiled and said, "It's not a rose, it's a Chinese rose. The thorns on this flower are larger, less densely distributed, and fewer in number. It's a Chinese rose. The thorns on a rose are smaller than gold coins."
Chu Qiao took a deep breath. Hmm, the smell in the morning is very similar to the smell of the roses here: "It turns out that the fragrance I can smell every morning comes from here."
"I finally solved this problem that has been bothering me for a long time."
[With fragrance accompanying you every day, is Master Chu still troubled? ]
[You don't know what's good for you, Master Chu.]
[A little bit.]
Chu Qiao shook her head. She couldn't explain the fragrance she had smelled that morning. Could she be allergic to the scent of roses? Why would she have such a strong reaction?
But when I smelled it from such a close distance, there was nothing unusual.
Chu Qiao shook his head, thinking that he was probably overthinking it.
Chu Qiao saw that everyone on the barrage was interested in roses, so he said, "Roses are usually planted in green belts. They're called the queen of flowers. They bloom all year round and can absorb harmful gases from the air."
"Rose flowers are not only beautiful, but also have medicinal properties. The flowers can be used to extract spices, and the roots, leaves and flowers can also be used. They have the effects of promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling, and reducing inflammation and detoxification. They are generally commonly used by women. They can relieve blood stasis, promote qi circulation, and relieve pain. Drinking them in water can also beautify and promote blood circulation."
As Chu Qiao spoke, he could no longer hold back and went to pick the flowers.
Chu Qiao prefers pure colors, pure white, and picked a lot of red.
Chu Qiao walked among the flowers, and soon his straw sandals were covered with water. The land here was more moist than outside, and some places seemed to have just been watered.
Chu Qiao frowned. Could it be that these roses with so many different colors were specially grown by someone?
She looked at the flowers she had picked and felt a little embarrassed. If they really had an owner, wouldn't that be stealing?
Chu Qiao thought about it and walked deeper into the flowers, hoping to see the owner and say hello.
Deep in the flowers, Chu Qiao saw a huge water tank with a water pipe inserted in it.
It turns out that someone planted it specifically for this purpose.
Chu Qiao was a little curious. Who was planting roses in this jungle?
What's the point? It's definitely not for profit, otherwise, the money from selling so many roses wouldn't even cover the travel expenses.
Hobbies?
This question lingered in Chu Qiao's mind.
Chu Qiao was thinking when he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him.
"Who is it?" A low voice came from behind?
Chu Qiao knew he was in the wrong, and since he was wearing clothes that made him look like a wild man, he quickly explained his purpose: "I'm sorry, I came to explore the jungle and accidentally entered your garden."
"You can take the flowers, but this is a private property, please don't barge in again."
After saying that, the man took a stick and pressed it against Chu Qiao's shoulder.
Ever since Chu Qiao traveled through time, anyone who pointed a stick at her has been taught a lesson by her. Forget it, just bear with it.
Chu Qiao: "Sorry, I'll leave right away."
Chu Qiao said this and turned around slowly. The man didn't seem to want Chu Qiao to see his appearance, so he turned around immediately. Chu Qiao only saw the man's muddy shoes and black cotton pants.
Chu Qiao quickly walked out of the rose garden, the figure of this man and the flower field constantly circling in his mind.
If she wasn't wearing something inappropriate to be shown in public, she would definitely ask a few more questions.
However, Chu Qiao was quite satisfied that her doubts about the fragrance had been resolved. She was in a good mood as she looked at the dozen or so flowers tied around her waist. Rose petals with lotus root powder, salt and vinegar in the camp, plus a mouse or a rabbit, it was simply a perfect match.
Chu Qiao was walking down the mountain leisurely when she suddenly stopped.
[What's wrong with Master Chu? Weren't you very happy just now? ]
The smile on Chu Qiao's face gradually disappeared, and his brows furrowed: "The man just now was speaking Beidouwen."
[Yes, is there any problem? ]
Everyone heard it.
