Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 43 Bamboo
The hard work paid off. After walking along the steep mountain road for about a quarter of an hour, I finally found traces of bamboo.

Jiang Lingling pointed to the bamboo in the distance and said in surprise: "Bamboo, it seems to be bamboo in front of me."

"Keep your voice down, are you afraid that the wild beasts won't be able to find you?" Wu Junlan scolded in a low voice.

In the deep mountains and old forests, you can see ten steps with one step.Even those who have the skills to come have to be careful and don't dare to make such a fuss and shout like Jiang Lingling.

Jiang Lingling immediately covered her mouth and shook her head, her face full of guilt.She didn't dare to shout anymore, but her eyes were full of excitement.

In fact, before Jiang Lingling shouted, Wen Xian noticed what seemed to be a bamboo forest in front of her.When I got closer, I saw, as expected, it was a bamboo forest.

Wen Xian was equally excited. She raised her hand and touched the bamboo and said, "This is Ci Bamboo, just right for us."

There are eight common types of bamboos, including philodendron, single bamboo, four-season bamboo, hard-headed yellow bamboo, mottled bamboo, Nan bamboo, water bamboo and black bamboo.

Ci Bamboo is tall, with long tubes and thick leaves. It is generally 8-13 meters tall and has a longest lifespan of 9 years.

It has strong toughness, thin knots and long tubes, making it an excellent material for bamboo weaving crafts.Can be used to make small backpacks, dustpans, etc.

Single bamboo is actually a type of bamboo, but it has a fine texture and extremely strong fiber toughness, and can be woven into exquisite bamboo crafts that look like silk or silk.

The Four Seasons Bamboo is also a kind of bamboo. Because the Four Seasons Bamboo can produce bamboo shoots in all four seasons, it is so named.

In addition, four-season bamboo has tall and strong bamboo poles, fine texture, and rapid reproduction and growth. It is also a good material for papermaking.

The hard-headed yellow bamboo has a tall and thick pole with a hard and heavy texture. It is often used for picking, carrying things or bearing loads.

Spotted bamboo is also called Xiangfei bamboo, so named because of the brown spots on the surface of the bamboo.Its stalks are tall, straight, large in diameter, and hard.Bamboo strip baskets and the ropes used to pull boats in ancient times were mostly woven from this kind of bamboo.

Nanzhu, also known as moso bamboo, has tall, straight and hard stalks.Its bamboo heads are often used for carving handicrafts, and the long bamboo shoots are called "Jade Nan pieces".

Water bamboo has slender, hard stalks and is often grown in pots for ornamental purposes.

Finally, there is black bamboo. The branches and stems of black bamboo are black and are often used to make flutes and Xiao wind instruments.

In addition, bamboo is full of treasures.Clear away heat, remove troubles, and inhibit bacteria.

Bamboo leaves can be used as medicine. They are cold in nature and are directed to the heart, stomach, and small intestine meridians. They can relieve symptoms such as deficiency fire that disturbs the heart, chest tightness, and irritability caused by fever.

But no matter how many kinds of bamboo there are, you are lucky if you can find one, let alone a very practical bamboo like Cizhu.

Deep in the mountains and forests, there are many dangers.Wen Xian didn't waste any more time and directly swung her knife to chop the bamboo she was interested in.

I have to say that when cutting down trees or something, you still need a big knife.Wen Xian only cut down a piece of bamboo a dozen times before it fell down.

After knocking down one bamboo, she immediately started chopping the second one, and told Jiang Lingling, Wu Junlan and Xia Zhi: "You guys pull down the chopped bamboo, remove the branches and leaves, and pull it out first. We have to go faster, one person first." Move one back."

Of course, you cannot dispose of things like decomposing bamboo on the spot.

She actually wanted to pull two of them back, but the bamboo was heavy, and for a woman, one was too tiring, let alone two, and she still had to walk on the mountain road.

Therefore, the bamboos she picked were all of moderate size, more suitable for the four of them to carry.

Cutting bamboo requires skill, especially in a dense forest like this.She can only pick bamboos that grow on the outside, and whose top branches and leaves do not intersect or rarely intersect with other bamboos.

Otherwise, just pulling out the cut bamboo will take a lot of effort.

Wen Xian wiped the sweat from her forehead and started hacking vigorously.

"Click", the second bamboo broke, she exhaled and prepared to move towards the third bamboo.Xia Zhi stepped forward without saying a word and held her hand.

Wen Xian's mind went blank for a second, and she turned her head and looked at Xia Zhi in confusion.She stared, did she not want her to chop bamboo or what did she mean?
Xia Zhi pursed her lips, put her hand on the handle of the knife, and said calmly: "I'll do it." Wen Xian:...

Just come, you can talk. , it was not said in a smooth manner before.

Before she could react, Xia Zhi had already snatched the knife from her hand and started to chop at the third bamboo.

However, Xia Zhi knew how such a delicate and pampered woman could chop down trees.

She slashed four or five times without overlapping the blades.How could the bamboo be cut down if the knife marks were as far apart as heaven and earth.

The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched and she said quickly: "I'll come and you go pick up the chopped bamboo."

She stepped forward to take the knife, but Xia Zhi turned around and dodged.Xia Zhi bit her lower lip and said stubbornly, "I'll do it."

She didn't believe she couldn't cut down the bamboo today.

Wen Xian had no choice but to let Xia Zhi be so stubborn.

As for herself, she turned around to deal with the chopped bamboo with Jiang Lingling and Wu Junlan.From time to time, I have to keep an eye on Xia Zhi's side to avoid any accidents.

The advantage of handling this kind of mature bamboo is that the hairy outer shell has fallen off to the ground and will not sting your hands.

It's just that this bamboo has lush branches and leaves, so it's not easy to clean.Wen Xian waited for some branches and leaves that could not be broken off by hand.

When the cleaning is almost done, put the branches and leaves close to the bamboo and tie them tightly with longer bamboo branches to prevent them from falling.

After the two bamboos were almost finished, the bamboo Xia Zhi cut was almost cut off.

When Wen Xian and Wu Junlan saw this, they asked Xia Zhi to step aside. They stepped forward and kicked him up, helping Xia Zhi carry the bamboo away.

The third bamboo fell to the ground. Xia Zhi couldn't help but straighten his chest and looked at Wen Xian with a little pride.As if to say, look, she can do it.

Wu Junlan saw Xia Zhi's red hand and stretched out her hand to take the knife: "I'll take the last one. You should pack it away quickly."

Wen Xian shrugged and continued to handle the bamboo consciously.

She saw a blister on Xia Zhi's hand and couldn't help but said, "Just rest for a while, the bamboo will be taken care of in a while."

She thought for a while and continued: "There is a local method that can relieve the pain in your palms. Do you want to try it?"

Xia Zhi paused for a moment and asked, "What method?"

Wen Xian said seriously: "I'm drooling a lot. Spit some saliva and rub it in the palm of your hand. The pain will subside after a while."

This is a method taught by words and deeds in every household. Whether it is psychologically or physically, it does have miraculous effects.

Xia Zhi:......

In the end, Xia Zhi still refused to spit on the palm of his hand as Wen Xian suggested.Instead, he worked with a dark face the whole time, not giving Wen Xian a good look.

This made Wen Xian very helpless. What she said was true, why didn't she believe her.

Because everyone had an extra bamboo on their shoulders when they returned, Wen Xian even had to carry a knife.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Wen Xian picked up a lot of bamboo branches and leaves on the ground and wrapped them around the knife until only a ten centimeter-long tip was left.

Not only that, she also tied the knife to the bamboo she was carrying for easy access.But it is not very practical if you are in danger.
