Chapter 33 The Bottle Tree

Qingsui followed Jin Mang's gaze and asked curiously: "Is there anything wrong with the big belly tree?"

Potbelly tree?

Jin Mang was startled, wasn't that a bottle tree?

No matter, it looks so similar, it shouldn't be bad, and it doesn't cost any money to give it a try anyway.

With this thought in mind, Jin Mang stepped forward, climbed up slowly, and chose a suitable place to start drilling holes in the tree trunk.

A group of adults were stunned and shouted one after another.

"Jin Mang, what are you doing?"

"Come down quickly, don't climb so high!"



It's not that they are making a fuss, it's because the Big Belly Tree is too tall. If Jin Mang falls from it, he will be disabled even if he doesn't die.

A group of children were excited.

"Jin Mang, you are so awesome, I want to climb a tree too."

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"Yes, you teach me!"



Seeing a group of children who were about to move around, the adults suddenly realized, yes, how could Jin Mang climb a tree?

——For them living in primitive environments, climbing trees is also a very important survival skill. Even adults, not everyone has mastered this skill.

Jin Mang ignored everyone's shouts. She concentrated on drilling holes in the big-bellied tree, her eyes full of desire.

——If there is no new water source, she will be fine, but Black Dragon and the others will have a hard time talking about it.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Jin Mang felt that the knife in his hand seemed to have lost its focus. At the same time, water with a slight green smell rushed out.

Qing Feng just climbed up and was confused when he saw this, "Is this... can you drink this water?"

Jin Mang stuck out his tongue and took a lick, "It's a little bitter, but also a little sweet."

"You kid is too reckless!" Qing Feng was startled.

Jin Mang naturally knew that the water from the Bottle Tree was drinkable, but she also knew that if it could not be verified, others might not dare to drink it at all. In this case, she could only act like a fool and try the "poison" once.

The adults who could climb trees climbed up one after another, and then... a very interesting thing happened.

Several adults, including Qingsui, can climb trees, but this is the first time for them to climb such a high tree. They didn't think much at first, but when they looked down, they seemed a little dizzy?

"No, I want to go down. It's too scary up here." Chi Yun was the first to be unable to resist and slipped down.

He climbed to a height of more than ten meters, but he didn't dare to go any higher.

With him taking the lead, other people who were afraid of heights stopped trying to be brave and got off the tree one after another. However, Lan Ya and others had already arrived next to Jin Mang.

Qingyan took a sip of the water that gushes from the bottle tree, tasted it carefully and said, "It shouldn't be poisonous."

Jin Mang was surprised and said: "Auntie, how do you know?"

"It tastes a bit astringent, but there is no numbness on the tongue." Qingyan explained: "If it is poisonous, the tongue will feel numb, but the degree will vary."

The people who stayed below also heard Qingyan's words, and they were all very happy.

Especially those children, whose eyes that were gradually numb were filled with light.

Lan Ya asked everyone to move the grain truck to the bottle tree. While asking people to use bamboo tubes to fill the water, he lowered his head and asked Qing Feng Qing Sui: "You actually taught Mang Mang to climb the tree so early?"

He was about to praise him for his good teaching, but Qingfeng and Qingsui looked at each other and said with some embarrassment: "We didn't teach him."

"Then how can you climb a tree?" The three of them looked at Jin Mang in confusion.

Jin Mang blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Do you still need to be taught how to climb a tree?"

Originally, she was able to climb trees at the age of four in her previous life, but her physical fitness at that time was not necessarily as good as it is now. No one taught her back then, so she got it right after trying it out.

——As for why she couldn't climb over the courtyard wall of the old house when she was five years old, firstly, the courtyard wall was too high and the vertical wall had no points of strength. Secondly, it was rainy and the courtyard wall was covered with moss. She

It slips when your feet step on it.

The three people in Lan Ya looked at each other and were speechless.

Qingfeng also learned to climb trees by his own way when he was a child, and no one specifically taught him, but... his daughter climbed too fast just now, and was she climbing just any tree?

The big belly tree is several times taller than ordinary trees.

The water source problem was solved, and the atmosphere in the tribe suddenly became relaxed.

However, what was unexpected was that that night, Heilong developed a fever.

Chimei was the first to notice it. When she shouted, everyone who had been wary woke up one after another.

"What can we do?" Chimei said in a panic: "We don't have any herbal medicine to reduce fever!"

Jin Mang said: "Wipe his body with water." Ordinarily, you should wipe your body with warm water. At this time, they couldn't find water slightly cooler than body temperature, but liquid will absorb heat when it evaporates. This applies everywhere.

of.

She shouldn't need to explain this. When Qingfeng had a fever due to a wound, Qingsui wiped his body with cold water. Chimei should also understand.

Hearing this, there was hesitation on Chimei's face. There is such a shortage of water now. There is not enough to drink, let alone to wipe the body.

Not only Chimei, but others also hesitated.

Jin Mang said: "The water storage capacity of the bottle tree is very high. Even if we open it and drink it, we can drink it for a month! And if we can find the first bottle tree, we can find the second bottle tree!"

real or fake?

Jin Mang said with determination: "Do you want the black dragon to die?"

Chimei was startled and looked at Lanya imploringly, "Brother, isn't the bottle tree Mang Mang mentioned the potbelly tree? We didn't see it often during the last splitting season."

Lan Ya pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "Wash the black dragon with water."

Jin Mang originally thought that the life of the black dragon would be saved in this way. After all, she knew the strength of Anze humans. She didn't expect that the next morning, his body temperature would rise instead of falling.

Grandma touched Heilong's forehead and said with slightly trembling hands: "This child... I'm afraid he won't be able to survive."

Chimei's complexion suddenly turned pale.

Although she gave birth to five sons and two daughters, she always felt that there were too many sons. When Heilong was born, she was disappointed when she found out that he was not a girl. However...

He is already her son, how can he be taken away from him?

At noon, Heilong hadn't woken up yet, but he began to tremble all over.

Lu Ben stepped forward and hugged his son, but his body temperature was too cold for today's black dragon. It was only after grandma found a piece of animal skin used as a bedding from under the grain truck and wrapped it around him that he gradually stopped feeling

trembling.

Jin Mang was extremely worried. Black Dragon...should be able to survive it, right?

Qing Feng caught a big bird with a wilted head and a wilted brain. The bird looked big, but after plucking its feathers, it didn't even have three kilograms of meat.

What was rare was that Qing Feng did not let Jin Mang eat alone, but distributed it to all the children.
