Chapter 15 Earthworm Chowder(1/3)
Early the next morning, Fang Sanduo rubbed his eyes and gently stood up from the tree. After leaning against the tree all night, he felt that he had lost all feeling in his waist.
Moreover, his shoulder had been pressed by Huangmei, and his entire right shoulder had lost all feeling. As soon as he sat up, the blood in his right shoulder began to flow, and the numbness made him feel as if his entire right arm was swollen.
The bark in the stomach seemed to have been excreted into the large intestine after a night.
Of course, Fang Sanduo didn't know.
He only felt hungry again, but his lower abdomen felt swollen and painful again.
If he does not get normal food during this period and takes some drugs that can soften fiber to help defecate, the bark fiber in the large intestine will continue to absorb water from the large intestine, and eventually dry up and harden until it cannot be excreted, and finally the inner wall of the large intestine will
Necrosis causes the breakdown of overall body functions.
This is the reason why it was said in modern times that in times of famine, as long as you ate tree bark, you would be close to death.
In ancient times, not many doctors knew what could soften fibers, and even those who did knew were not lucky enough to encounter it. Therefore, once you eat a large amount of bark, it is equivalent to entering the countdown to life.
Although Fang Yu didn't know the specific principle.
But he knew that the bark fiber was indigestible. If it was eaten and blocked in the large intestine, the consequences would not be very optimistic.
He didn't know how to eat yesterday, but after trying to eat a small piece, he found that his iron stomach could actually digest it, so he finally joined the ranks of chewing tree bark.
And besides him, those who eat the bark...
There is no help anymore.
Fang Sanduo just straightened up his body, and his weak body made him lie down immediately.
However, he vaguely felt that someone seemed to be walking next to him. He turned around in confusion, and the picture that came into view made him open his mouth.
"Dog...goddan?! Why are you back again?!!"
Fang Sanduo discovered that Fang Yu, who thought he had left last night, was cooking something next to his tree in their earthen pot. A fishy earthy smell was coming out of the earthen pot, and he could smell it.
It's like cooking mud.
"Uncle, are you awake?"
Fang Yu turned around, saw Fang Sanduo's shocked eyes, and smiled slightly.
This time he called uncle, he said it sincerely.
"Goudan...how could you? You're not..."
Fang Sanduo was a little confused.
He couldn't tell whether it was his imagination or whether Fang Yu was really back.
Or maybe he just went out to have fun last night and didn't leave.
He opened his mouth, originally wanting to let Goudan leave now, but only then did he realize that he was not as letting go as he thought.
In person, it was so difficult to say the words to persuade Goudan to leave.
"Goudan...you"
When Fang Sanduo was about to calm down and tell Fang Yu to leave him and live alone, Fang Yu interrupted his train of thought.
"Uncle, wake up aunt. Come, have something to eat."
As he spoke, Fang Yu picked up a wooden bowl from the ground, used a wooden spoon to dig out a spoonful of long black noodles-like things from the earthen pot, poured it into the bowl, mixed with some green weeds, and then
It is a spoonful of soup with a strong earthy smell.
Fang Yu swore that this was the darkest dish he had ever made.
However, there is no other way. In this case, it is good to have something to eat.
Besides, it doesn't matter if it tastes disgusting, at least it's food.
If Fang Yu hadn't resisted the iron stomach's resistance with perseverance, once he let go of the iron stomach, Fang Yu would have had the courage to taste even the smell of shit, let alone the earthy smell.
Hunger is enough to push a person past all possible limits.
Fang Sanduo looked at the wooden bowl handed over.
The water inside is a bit turbid, with some sand and some cooked weeds mixed in it.
It is normal to have sand and soil, because the water in the rivers is like this now, and it cannot be filtered at all. At most, you will not drink the last sip of soup.
There are some white lumps floating in the soup.
Fang Sanduo is very familiar with it.
Isn't this the bark he chewed yesterday?
However, the bark of this tree seems to be fatter and white like jade flakes.
As for the long black strip that Fang Yu had just picked up, Fang San took another look at it and realized...
Isn’t this an earth dragon?!!
Earthworm, also known as earthworm.
Yes, what this pot of soup is stewed in is earthworm chowder.
Earthworms, bark, and wild grasses are stewed in a pot without any seasoning. It is all natural and pollution-free.
After hearing the conversation between Fang Sanduo and Fang Sanduo last night, Fang Yu knew that she couldn't leave.
In this case, if he leaves, then he is no longer Fang Yu.
So, when Fang Sanduo and the others fell asleep, Fang Yu returned to the original place, and first looked at Fang Sanduo and the others quietly.
Fang Sanduo and the others, dressed like beggars, looked like ghosts in the dark, but when Fang Yu looked over, she felt that these two people were so cute.
After watching the two people quietly for a while, Fang Yu turned her head and began to think about strategies.
Since I can't leave, and I have to take my uncle and aunt with me, and I chose the hell difficulty, I have to do every step carefully.
The first priority, of course, is to find subsistence food. Otherwise, Fang Sanduo and the others may not even be able to get out of this forest.
The bark must never be eaten again.
In other words, you can't eat it like this.
It must be paired with other foods, and the bark must be screened.
Fang Yu touched his iron stomach.
Since his stomach can digest tree bark, Fang Yu plans to eat all the trees in the forest and select the bark that can be digested quickly.
The faster their iron stomach digests it, the easier it is for the bark to be digested and absorbed, and the less risky it is for them to eat it.
Then, it’s time to take advantage of the characteristics of your iron stomach.
Come to Fang Yu and taste the herbs.
Just like eating tree bark, Fang Yu had to eat all the weeds with leaves and pick out the non-toxic and digestible weeds, so that these weeds could also be cooked and eaten.
Fang Yu thought for a while, then put her hand on the ground and stood up to taste the herbs.
But when he got up, he rubbed his hand on the ground, and the touch of the soil suddenly reminded him of something.
Mud...loaches...no!...earthworms!!Earthworms!
A picture flashed through Fang Yu's mind like lightning. The image in that picture was the python-like earth dragon cultivated in the dungeon in the wandering era world.
How did I forget this?!
Fang Yu patted his head.
But it's not his fault.
Except for the woods, the land in other places is dry and cracked. In this kind of geology, earthworms will basically not survive in it.
Therefore, Fang Yu never thought of the earthworms that had a major role in saving the food crisis in the previous world!
It was after touching the wet soil that Fang Yu thought that there should be earthworms living underground.
In this era, earthworms are edible in some places and can even be used as medicine.
But most areas don’t know that earth dragons can be eaten.
In addition, it lives in the soil, and few people will think of it when it is invisible.
And even if they thought about it, they didn't have the energy to turn over the soil and dig out earthworms.
Without certain skills and knowledge, if you blindly dig earthworms, the amount of meat you get after digging out the earthworms is completely out of proportion to the time and energy consumed.
After Fang Yu had an iron stomach, relying on this forest, he could replenish energy through the bark of the trees that Fang Sanduo and the others could not eat, and then convert this energy into physical strength to dig earthworms.
Action is worse than a heartbeat.
After making the plan, Fang Yu immediately stood up, picked up Fang Sanduo's hoe and his own hatchet, and started wandering in the woods.
Fang Yu tasted the grass one tree at a time.
Relying on the reaction of the iron stomach, the edible bark was marked, while the edible weeds were directly pulled out and thrown into the bamboo basket.
In a small forest, when the sky was dark, Fang Yu tasted them all.
The price is that now he feels like vomiting when he sees trees.
