Chapter 14 This Celery Is Not That Celery

Yao Tiantian was carried up by Da Zhuang when she went uphill, she was full of energy at the moment, she ran around without stopping for a moment, her eyes widened and she observed carefully.

Suddenly, Yao Tiantian's eyes lit up. Beside a damp natural puddle, in a seepage wetland, she was pleasantly surprised to find clusters of lush green celery.

Yao Tiantian, who likes the special taste of celery the most, became excited all of a sudden. While picking it in a hurry, she shouted happily, "Da Zhuang, come and see, I found water celery. You can fry celery to eat at night, it’s really fresh, today we are lucky.”

Hearing Yao Tiantian's call, Da Zhuang leaned over and leaned over. He glanced at the fresh and tender wild vegetables in Yao Tiantian's hands, but his eyes widened in horror as if he saw a snake and scorpion, and he said repeatedly, "" Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away, throw it away!" Da Zhuang roughly grabbed the water celery in Yao Tiantian's hand, threw it hard, and threw it all into the puddle house.

Da Zhuang threw away the water celery picked by Yao Tiantian and refused to give up. He pulled Yao Tiantian who was stunned, and she stepped back several steps away from the overgrown wild vegetables. Let out a sigh of relief.

"You, what are you doing? What a good thing, you ruined it like this!" Yao Tiantian, who had just realized it, roared angrily. In her previous life, she lived in a modern city with serious chemical pollution. There is no chance to pick such fresh and pollution-free wild vegetables, let alone find this particularly delicious water celery.However, how could Yao Tiantian not be both angry and distressed that this reckless fool just threw away all the good things indiscriminately.

However, in the face of Yao Tiantian's angry reprimand, Da Zhuang was uncharacteristically not showing weakness. On the contrary, he widened his small eyes and roared louder, "Good thing? Ah? Do you think this is a good thing? Can it Do you know people who eat dead people? A few years ago, my father and my mother ate this kind of wild vegetables, and they were swollen all over, their stomach hurt, they couldn't breathe, they were suffocated to death!"

After saying so much in one breath, Da Zhuang's eyes were clouded with water vapor, he let go of Yao Tiantian's sleeve in grief, squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, and began to cry softly.

Yao Tiantian has always been very proud of her ability to identify plants, but after hearing Da Zhuang's words, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.Yao Tiantian suddenly thought of such a passage: Shi Longrui, also known as wild celery, also known as poison celery, is a plant of the Ranunculaceae family of Ranunculus.If swallowed by mistake, it can cause burning in the mouth, followed by swelling, difficulty in chewing, severe diarrhea, slow pulse, difficulty breathing, dilated pupils, and death in severe cases.

Yao Tiantian can clearly remember this plant, thanks to the fact that in an elective class when she was in college, the teacher who taught them the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine told her mother’s story, and the old lady happily bought fresh water celery on the side of the road Unexpectedly, they bought wild celery by mistake. The professor's family almost got poisoned after eating this kind of celery.In that class, the professor took specimens of water celery and wild celery and carefully explained to the students how to distinguish them, and also explained the pharmacology of wild celery in detail.

Yao Tiantian carefully recalled the specimens of wild celery and water celery that she had seen in class, and gradually agreed with Da Zhuang's words in her heart. Those clumps of fresh and tender wild vegetables were indeed wild celery that could only be used for medicine.Yao Tiantian couldn't help but took a few steps back in fear. If Da Zhuang hadn't had a painful personal experience today, and reminded her in time, she would really take back these wild celery that can only be used as medicine as water celery. It is an irreparable mistake to make dishes and distribute them to everyone.

Looking at the grief-stricken Da Zhuang, Yao Tiantian's heart twitched, with a lot of guilt and sympathy. As an orphan, she could understand Da Zhuang's sadness at this time too well. Yao Tiantian walked away hesitantly. Returning to Da Zhuang's side, leaning down, stretched out his small hand tentatively, patted Da Zhuang's back lightly, and said timidly, "Da Zhuang, I'm sorry, I was too reckless, I almost ran into Da Zhuang's back." Misfortune, it also brought up your sadness."

Hearing Yao Tiantian's guilty and timid apology, Da Zhuang felt a little embarrassed. He gradually stopped crying, wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately, and slowly raised his head. Comforting Yao Tiantian, she said, "It's not entirely your fault. It's all about that Huang Dahu's fault. Even his mountain grows poisonous things. Let me identify the wild vegetables you find in the future."

Seeing that Da Zhuang held back her sadness so quickly, Yao Tiantian swallowed all her words of comfort, and she also pretended to be nonchalant with a smile, nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I will meet you later Yecai, please ask Brother Da Zhuang to check it out for me first, and I will never make random claims again."

With Yao Tiantian's guarantee, Da Zhuang felt relieved, he stood up straight, tugged at Yao Tiantian's sleeve and said mysteriously, "Let's go, since the two of us are here today, I'll bring you You go find some unusual wild game, let's have a good meal tonight."

Da Zhuang suddenly said such words excitedly and mysteriously, which aroused Yao Tiantian's curiosity, and her depressed mood just now was swept away, and she asked happily, "Is there anything else here?" What kind of rare game, tell me quickly."

Da Zhuang raised his hand, shook his fingers, and gave a more mysterious "shhhhhh, don't make noise, this place has been deserted, and there are a lot of wild game inhabited throughout the winter. After a while, you just need to Follow me, don't run around, keeping it will open your eyes!"

Game that lives in winter?Yao Tiantian became excited when she heard it, and immediately thought of all the legends about the silly roe deer she had heard in her previous life. It is said that this animal is very stupid, and when someone chases it, it will really care about its head and ignore its ass. , Bury your head, don't think about your butt exposed, you will also be caught.

Could it be that when you come to this world, you can see the species of silly roe deer with your own eyes?Yao Tiantian narrowed her eyes in excitement, raised her head and forgot to look for something.But when she looked around, she only saw some young weeds, and the young green grass sprouted a vigorous new green in the withered yellow autumn grass. She didn't see any wild animals, let alone silly roe deer. .

Yao Tiantian turned around and found nothing, she turned her head in disappointment, and said a little discouraged, "You won't lie to me, how can there be any game here?"

Da Zhuang snorted disdainfully, "Cut, what do you know? If anyone can find it, why do you need me, Da Zhuang? You just wait, we will definitely have meat tonight."

After finishing speaking, Da Zhuang swallowed greedily, and regardless of Yao Tiantian's suspicious eyes, he grabbed his sleeve and let her follow him, and then walked towards a densely overgrown weeds and thorns. place to run.

Yao Tiantian was staggered by the brute force of Da Zhuang, so she swallowed the questioning words, concentrated on looking at the path under her feet, followed Da Zhuang, and staggered forward.

After running for about a cup of tea, the weeds under their feet gradually became denser.

At this time, Da Zhuang finally slowed down his pace. He grabbed Yao Tiantian's sleeve, carefully protected her behind him, and said carefully, "Be careful, don't run around, you must take one step at a time." Follow in my footsteps."

After Da Zhuang finished speaking, when he moved his arm, a small wooden stick as thick as a little finger appeared in his hand. He used the small wooden stick to constantly stir the dense grass in front of him, and kept staring at it without blinking. The movement of the weeds.

Seeing Da Zhuang's cautious look, Yao Tiantian shuddered, and suddenly understood what game Da Zhuang was looking for. He was planning to kill the snake that had just woken up from hibernation.

Thinking of that slender and terrifying creature hiding under some pile of grass under her feet, Yao Tiantian felt chills from the bottom of her heart, and felt like layers of chicken skin had formed on her body. Pimples, calves also began to tremble 'crawl clack'.

Yao Tiantian was so frightened that she had no idea anymore, she didn't know where her wit and cleverness had gone, but at this moment she couldn't retreat.Because, she didn't know where the terrible creature was hidden in the thick grass around her.

Yao Tiantian tightly grabbed Da Zhuang's sleeve, her upper teeth touched her lower teeth, pitifully, stammering, "We, we, let's go back."

Da Zhuang was staring at the grass with all his heart, and didn't notice Yao Tiantian's abnormal state. He didn't even lift his head, and comforted him perfunctorily, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." Da Zhuang spoke absent-mindedly, His eyes were still staring at the movement of the grass without blinking, refusing to let go of the slightest abnormality.

At this moment, there was a soft rustling sound in the withered grass, followed by a big snake as thick as a thumb and spit out a red letter and sprang up suddenly.This snake is about half a meter long, with a triangular head, a dark brown back, and a row of dark brown circular markings on each side of the body. It is a typical poisonous belly snake.

With a sudden change, Yao Tiantian's heart jumped into her throat. After confirming clearly that she was in front of an extremely poisonous viper, she closed her eyes tightly in fear, and screamed desperately, "Ah! , Ah, ah, poisonous snake, poisonous snake, poisonous snake."

While yelling, Yao Tiantian's legs trembled violently, her hands danced wildly, and she tightly hugged Da Zhuang's arms.
