Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 1163 1170. Harvest in the Forest (15)

It has been a long time since the general and the Wolf brothers had such a good time playing, and it has been a long time since the head of state had such a good time using his claws.

There are only so many cats and dogs in the village. They usually see each other every day. They know who poops and what smells good. Except when the head of state just came and the Wolf brothers just grew up, they have never had any conflicts.

The little wild boars now let them relive the war years, which was a wonderful youth.

The wild boars inherited their parents' unruly and fierceness, but they could not resist the terrible opponents. Driven by the desire to survive, they finally became obedient, just like elementary school students after school, and lined up and followed Ao Muyang obediently.

They are not stupid at all. After being abused several times, they know how to go.

The heads of state and generals were very unwilling to give up. They wandered around the wild boars with ill intentions, pushing a little wild boar out from time to time, and then rushed up to torment it.

Not long after they went up the mountain, the little wild boars were trembling with their limbs and were about to collapse.

But this was not the cruelest thing. The cruelest thing was that Ao Muyang met La Zhong and his son on the way. La Zhong was holding a bamboo bow, which was obviously made by himself. The edges and corners were not delicate and very rough.

When La Zhong saw a group of wild boars, his eyes lit up. He took out a knife and thought about these wild boars: "Zheshi Liquid Column, wild, village chief Ni Zha De?"

Ao Muyang thought about his words for a while, then waved his hand after understanding what he meant: "No, this is raised by the village and will be released to the mountains. This piglet cannot be killed. If you go hunting in the mountains, you can't kill piglets, chickens, and rabbits."

Doma smiled and said: "Don't worry, village chief uncle, my father only catches big wild boars and big rabbits."

Ao Muyang asked: "What are you going to catch this time?"

Doma said: "My father saw a big wild boar yesterday. The sound of firecrackers in the village scared it and made it appear. My father wants to hunt it."

The big wild boars on Longtou Mountain are still free-range in the village. At most, they are free-range for one year. Wild boars grow slowly in the mountains. They are not like the feed pigs raised at home that can be slaughtered in half a year. Therefore, the wild boars in the mountains are still small, so it is best not to hunt them.

He couldn't explain this to Lazhong. For the Zhalong people who lived on fishing and hunting, wild animals in the mountains were food.

So after thinking about it for a while, Lao Ao said, "Doma, talk to your father. Wait for me. After I settle these little wild boars, I will go hunting with you to see your father's skills."

Doma didn't think much and said a few words to Lazhong happily.

Lazhong showed a confident smile on his face, then he stretched out his hands to him and rolled up his sleeves, showing his hands and arms and shaking them in front of him a few times.

Ao Muyang thought this was some kind of etiquette of the Zhalong people, so he also rolled up his sleeves and shook his arms.

Doma chuckled: "Uncle village chief, my father is telling you that he will show you his skills later!"

Ao Muyang smiled awkwardly: "Well, so that's the case. OK, tell your father that after catching the prey, the village chief uncle can also show you his skills."

He took La Zhong and his son and the wild boar cubs to the fenced-in jungle in the mountains. It was a cypress forest and poplar forest with colorful fallen leaves, and many small shrubs and wild grasses growing in it, which could provide food for the wild boars in spring, summer and autumn.

There were no green grass and shrubs in the forest in winter, so the wild boars used their mouths to push open the leaves to find wild grass roots to eat.

After they opened the leaves, some brown and yellow shriveled seeds rolled out. Seeing these seeds, Ao Muyang went up and picked them up.

This is cypress seed. The cypress shell outside and the cypress kernel inside are both Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine says that cypress kernel belongs to the heart, kidney, and large intestine meridians, and has the effects of calming the mind and tranquilizing the nerves, moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. Among them, there are specific records in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which accurately believes that cypress kernel can "nourish the heart and qi, moisten the kidney dryness, calm the soul and stabilize the spirit, improve intelligence and calm the mind."

Ao Muyang harvested cypress seeds to use its Chinese medicine effects. He planned to collect them to make pillows. There is a local saying that cypress shell pillows can turn white heads into black heads.

Now high-end bedding is no longer Simmons mattresses and latex pillows. In big cities, mountain palm mats and green pillows have become popular, and cypress shell pillows are one of the green pillows.

Cypress shells have an aromatic smell. These gases have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, drying dampness and killing insects-this is not a fabrication of Chinese medicine. Even from the perspective of modern medicine, cypress shells contain terpenes and lemon terpenes. These natural substances can not only kill bacteria and viruses, purify the air, but also have the effect of relaxing the spirit and stabilizing emotions for people.

Therefore, using cypress shells to make pillows can relieve people's insomnia. After getting used to the fragrance of cypress shells, people's sleep quality can be greatly improved. This is especially effective for those who engage in mental work and worry too much.

When Lao Ao was in the third year of high school, his mother sewed a cypress shell pillow for him by hand. During that year, although he was under great pressure from studying, he had good sleep quality and never suffered from insomnia.

This time, when he saw the cypress seeds, he planned to go back and make a pillow for Lu Zhizi. In order to lead a good student, she was also under great pressure, and her sleep quality has always been poor.

Before, he mainly made food therapy for Lu Zhizi. Now that he saw the dried cypress seeds, he just happened to do it.

The right time to collect cypress seeds is October of the lunar calendar, which is the first two months. At that time, the cypress seeds have just fallen and are still plump.

However, the cypress seeds have to be dried after they are brought back. There was no snow this year, and there was no rain in winter. The cypress seeds in the forest were naturally dried, so although they missed the best harvest season, they are still suitable for pillows.

The little wild boars have a variety of diets, and some of them will also eat cypress seeds. This thing has medicinal value, so it is okay to eat it, so Ao Muyang didn't care.

Wolf Two saw the little wild boar eating happily, so he also used his claws to take out a few cypress seeds and licked them into his mouth.

Wolves are not omnivorous animals. The taste of cypress seeds is acceptable to wild boars, but wolves can't stand it. The taste is very bitter and strange. It vomited it out immediately after eating it.

Then, it showed a fierce look to the little wild boars, and rushed to a piglet next to it with a howl.

When the wild boar heard its howl, its four short legs went limp and it fell to the ground. Its anus was wriggling, but its intestines were empty, so it only farted...

Ao Muyang slapped Wolf Two on the head: "Be honest and don't cause trouble for me!"

He couldn't scare the wild boars out of their wits. They would be released back to the forest in the future, so they had to remain wild.

Besides, Wolf Two was just looking for trouble. He was like a Japanese devil. Even if the wild boars didn't provoke him, he could find a reason to scare them.

Seeing him picking up cypress seeds, La Zhong and his son also picked them up, but La Zhong only picked those that were large, good in color and relatively full. After picking up some, he sat on the ground and took out a small bag from the inside of his clothes. When he opened it, there was needle and thread inside. As he sewed, the cypress seeds were strung together.
