Big Islander 2

Chapter 172 Kohlrabi

Tang Jide didn't know that he had unknowingly become a fellow poacher, and he was still moving forward heartlessly along the valley.Seeing Da Xing take out a golden bowl to scoop water to drink, he also leaned over and poured half a bowl of water of life, it was really cool and refreshing.

"Green sheep!" Xiao Xiami cheered. A group of blue sheep gathered on the exposed rocks by the stream in the distance. If you don't look carefully, you can't really see them. Their body hair and rocks are almost integrated.

But Xiao Xiami's voice obviously startled them, and all the sheep stood up and quickly fled into the distance.It's obvious when they run, there is a large piece of white hair behind their buttocks, which looks very eye-catching.I saw them climbing rocks and jumping streams, like walking on flat ground, probably more agile than big stars.

The pheasant poked its head out: "It seems that it would be nice to have a meal of roast lamb—"

"Go out and catch them if you have the ability." Tang Jide said angrily, blue sheep are good mountain climbers, trying to catch them with bare hands is tantamount to a dream, even if he has a cane whip, but blue sheep are very vigilant, There is simply no way to get close.Besides, even if they can be caught, Tang Jide will not do it. They didn't come here to spoil these wild animals, and there is still a lot of food in the bag now, so there is no need to kill them indiscriminately.

So the pheasant retracted its head again, it wanted to talk to Tang Jide, but it was too cold outside, it was better to hide in the comfort nest.In fact, the valley is much better than the mountains.

After walking for more than ten miles, the sky gradually darkened. Tang Jide found a dry rock, set up his tent, and prepared to spend the night here.There are still snowflakes in the sky, I don’t know if it’s snowing or blown down from the snow peak by the wind, anyway, it’s like this most of the time along the way, it always looks like it’s snowing.

After setting up the stove, Tang Jide strolled around, looking for wild vegetables that could be added to the soup.Although there is still a strip of snow in the low-lying area, the moss is already exposed, and some flowers and plants can't wait to grow out, completing their mission in just one or two months.

It's a pity that most of the plants here are very low, and most of them are hairy, like wearing a sweater, and there are very few plump and juicy flowers and plants.Tang Jide walked all the way, but he didn't meet any pleasing plants, so he might return empty-handed.

But just when he was about to go back home, the plant essence released suddenly felt an unusual aura, it was an unusually strong and pure plant aura, and even better, it had a cool and sweet feeling. It seems that the soul is intoxicated by it.

nice one!Tang Jide couldn't help but cheer up, and looked over according to his feeling, it should have come from the nearby cliff several feet high.

With a yell, Little Xiami and Big Xing also rushed over.Daxing was eager to try, but there was still a lot of ice and snow hanging on the cliff. Although Comrade Vasili was a good tree climber, he slipped down quickly.

"Hey, Daxing, you still have to practice." Tang Jide gloated a little when he saw Daxing being deflated, and then he hugged Daxing and flew into the sky, directly climbing to the cliff.He also played a fancy 720-degree gyro in the air, intending to teach Daxing a lesson.

Unexpectedly, there happened to be a layer of ice and snow where it landed. Tang Datou slipped and fell directly on his back, head first, and fell off the cliff.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Xiami also jumped up from behind, stretched out his small hand to grab Uncle Big Tou by the nape of his neck, and lifted him up again.

Tang Jide couldn't help blushing, and quickly lowered his head to look for the source of the breath. Soon, he found the target in a snow nest, and saw a few green leaves protruding from the thin snow, which had not yet fully unfolded.Against the backdrop of the white snow, it seems to be carved out of emeralds, so emerald so touching.

When squatting close to watch, I found that the leaves are also covered with cilia.That pure and strong breath emanated from this green plant.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head, and then shot his searching gaze at Xiao Xiami, but the genius child also shook his head, she had never been to the plateau, so she didn't know it from birth.

Oh oh oh—Da Xing's call came over suddenly, and Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami were called by it, and then looked over Da Xing's finger, and saw that in an exposed rock gap, another A green plant appeared.It's just that the leaves of this one have been fully stretched, layer upon layer, like a green flower blooming.

"Snow lotus!"

"Turnip!"

Xiao Xiami and Tang Jide shouted in unison, but the content was too different.Da Xing took a look, and then gave Tang Jide a thumbs up. Not to mention, the leaves of this plant are layered and curled inward, really like a cabbage.

Tang Jide has also heard about glacier snow lotus, but he has never seen the real thing.But the plant in front of him was quite different from the image of snow lotus in his mind.In his mind, the snow lotus should be as delicate and lovely as a lotus flower, not the current one that looks like a kohlrabi.

"Xiao Xia, are you sure this is snow lotus?" Tang Jide subconsciously scratched the back of his head, and ended up scratching the hat.

Xiao Xiami blinked, then nodded. She had never seen a real snow lotus, but she had read some rare plant atlases in the old Curry and saw similar pictures.The first plant I saw just now had just emerged from the snow and did not show its complete form, so it was not associated with the precious iceberg snow lotus.

"Then it's not wrong. As expected, meeting is not as good as being famous. Who would have thought that the famous snow lotus is so inconspicuous. Hehe, it seems that I was wrong, and I shouldn't judge things by appearances." Tang Jide quickly Just thought about it, the breath he felt would definitely not lie, but, for the legendary thing like snow lotus, he had imagined too beautifully before.

But he will never be disappointed because of this. With the continuous deepening of his understanding of nature, Tang Jide also pays more attention to the connotation of things.The snow lotus in front of him taught him another vivid lesson.

Just when Tang Datou was standing in front of this snow lotus plant, feeling its unique spirituality, there was a burst of "ohhhhhh" from the big star. This guy made a new discovery. Five snow lotuses were found.

"The harvest is not bad——" Tang Jide patted the scarf on the Indian star's head as a sign of encouragement.

Selecting three blooming snow lotuses, Tang Jide took them out intact without damaging the soil in the rock crevices below them at all.In fact, it is not considered soil. In this bitter cold place, it is only after thousands of years of corrosion by the surface plants that a thin layer of humus is formed on the rock layer.If the snow lotus is uprooted, no more snow lotus will grow in this place in the future.

Tang Jide didn't catch all the rare flowers that bloom on the snow-covered plateau, and left a few to pass on to the next generation, so that their life continued.

After getting off the cliff, he rushed back to the tent. Tang Jide broke off a few pieces of snow lotus and threw them into the pot. For the rest, he used plant essence to quickly dry the water in them, making it easy to carry, but the medicinal effect was completely preserved.

"Unexpectedly, there are kohlrabi here!" The pheasant poked its head out from the tent, this guy was like Tang Jide.

Tang Jide heheed twice: "Even if the kohlrabi made of emerald is not so precious—" Although emerald is good, after all, it is only beautiful in appearance, and its value is artificially added; after this oolong incident, Brother Big Head can now see the essence directly through the surface.

But the pheasant obviously hasn't reached this level yet, so it crawled out of the tent with its neck curled up: "Is this delicious?"

Facts have proved that the broth with snow lotus is particularly fragrant, and it is also a great tonic, especially for women. As for men, it can enhance Yang Qi.Anyway, after drinking the soup, Tang Jide always felt like a small stove was placed in his lower abdomen, which lingered for a long time.

After dinner, the cold wind outside gradually picked up, so they all got into the tent.Just as Tang Jide was about to go to bed, he suddenly remembered something: "Xiao Xia, it seems to be more than ten degrees below zero outside, you think those snow lotus will not be frozen?"

"Uncle Datou, don't worry about sleeping, the snow lotus can withstand the low temperature of minus 20 degrees." Xiao Xiami's eyes were shining with a smile in the dark.

Tang Jide hummed, and then there was a low snoring sound, which intensified.Fortunately, no matter whether it is a big star, a pheasant or a small shrimp, they have long been used to it, so the friends who have been tired all day soon fell into a deep sleep.

It was icy and snowy outside, and the cold wind was howling, but the inside of the tent was as warm as spring. It was the heat brought by the breath of life intentionally released by Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami.The reason why they dare to challenge the snow-capped mountains lightly and simply has their own capital.

It's a pity that I slept until midnight, and my dream was disturbed. A burst of gunfire broke the silence of the snow mountain.Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami sat up at the same time, and then got out of the tent.In places like this where someone shoots, it basically only belongs to poachers.

"Their target may be that snow leopard—" Xiao Xiami quickly determined the direction, almost without touching the ground, and galloped away.Even skiing is not as fast as her.

Tang Jide basically agreed with the little girl's conjecture. After all, snow leopards are nocturnal animals, and ordinary animals are not worth hunting by poachers in the middle of the night.

"Wait for me—" The pheasant also got out of the tent, this guy basically became a burden after reaching the snow mountain.

Tang Jide also drove the big stars back, asked them to be companions, and then quickly chased the little shrimps.Although there are not many plants here, their vitality is very tenacious, enough for Big Head to replenish.Cordyceps is a backup food and grass, so if you can save it, you can save it.

Soon, Tang Jide caught up with Xiao Xiami, and after running for three to five miles together, they saw two bright flashlights shaking in front of them, so they rushed to catch up with the lights.For the two with night vision, the darkness was no obstacle at all.What's more, under the reflection of ice and snow, the visibility is not low.

After running for less than two miles, I finally saw two figures on the snowy ground. They held shotguns in their hands, pointing at a cliff ahead as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The eyes shot out an extremely angry murderous aura, and at the same time, there was a low growl.

It was indeed the snow leopard, one of its front paws was bloody, and the blood stained the white snow under it red. Although it was in the dark night, it was so glaring in the eyes of Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami.
