Soon afterwards, all the ripe fruits on the entire tree were picked.

Everyone smiled at each other, then dispersed and went to find other wild fruits.

Li Fan, Su Qing and the little girl also left.

After continuing to move forward and walking for a while.

Li Fan saw a little girl pointing at a red fruit on the ground not far away and asked the adults around him, can that kind of red fruit be eaten?

Li Fan looked at it with pleasure and saw the wild fruit that the little girl pointed at, like a small red sphere.

At first glance, it also looks a bit like strawberries, but it is just a little bit like it, not like the wild fruit just now.

Then, the plants of this wild fruit are very short, small pieces connected together.

The ground is full of red fruits, which looks pretty good. It should also look delicious.

But unfortunately, the red fruit cannot be eaten.

The parents around the child said, "This kind of wild fruit cannot be eaten. This is a snake fruit, which is eaten by snakes, and people cannot eat it."

When the little girl heard that it was a fruit eaten by a snake, she was shocked and subconsciously leaned towards the adult.

Things like snakes always make people feel inexplicably scared and terrified.

Li Fan was a little smiled. However, the parent said it was right that the small red fruit was indeed called the snake fruit.

Why is it called snake fruit?

The reason is also as the parents say, because the fruit is said to be eaten by snakes, so it is called snake fruit.

Snake fruit is poisonous and cannot be eaten by humans.

There is a fruit that looks very much like an apple, which seems to be called the snake fruit.

This snake fruit is not that snake fruit.

Su Qing also saw the snake fruit and said, "I have heard of the origin of the name 'snake fruit'. But is it really that way?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "The origin of the name should be that way. It's just that those are folk sayings and are inaccurate. In fact, this kind of fruit is not the fruit eaten by snakes."

Su Qing nodded, and she also knew that the kind of fruit was definitely not the fruit eaten by snakes.

But why do people say that it is the fruit eaten by snakes?

Li Fan smiled and said, "That should be because we often see some white foam-like things under the plants of snake fruit, on the back of the leaves, and on the snake fruit.

This kind of white foam is very similar to the white foam seen in the place where snakes live.

In addition, snake fruit likes to grow in dark and humid places, which coincides with the places where snakes like to appear.

Therefore, people think that snakes will come to eat these fruits. That's why there is such a saying."

Su Qing nodded and said, "What exactly are those white foams on the snake fruit?"

Li Fan said: "It should be something that snails or something like that spit out."

Su Qing nodded and said, "This kind of wild fruit should also be very common. Is it also called snake fruit in other places?"

Li Fan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Some places are also called snakeberry, or snake sap, etc. But generally they have the word "snake".

Su Qing said: "The names of snake fruit, snakeberry, and snake soak all have the word "snake". This means that this kind of fruit is the fruit eaten by snakes, and it has it in every place."

Li Fan nodded, it should be true.

Su Qing said again: "Since that statement is wrong, the snake fruit should not be poisonous, so it can be eaten, right?"

Li Fan shook his head and said, "No, snake fruit does contain trace toxicity. However, the toxicity is very small, and it can be eaten. But you can't eat too much."

I see.

Su Qing giggled and said, "Then have you eaten it?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I have eaten it. However, it tastes bland and boring, and it is a little astringent. It tastes very poor and is not delicious at all. This is probably the main reason why no one eats snake fruit."

"That's it." Su Qing looked at the large area of ​​snake fruit in front of her and said, "Although it can't be eaten, it looks very beautiful. It is also very good for viewing."

Li Fan nodded, and the green plants were covered with round red fruits, which were indeed very beautiful.

However, although the taste of snake fruit is not good, it is a Chinese medicine. It is sweet, bitter, cold in nature, and belongs to the lungs, liver, and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, reducing swelling and detoxifying. It can cure cough, vomiting blood, snake insect bites, etc.

Therefore, snake fruit can also be said to be a good thing.

"So that's it." Su Qing nodded.

At this time, more tourists also discovered a large area of ​​snake fruit here and surrounded them.

"What a big piece of snake fruit! It looks so beautiful. It's a pity that it looks good but it tastes good."

"Haha! This is the snake fruit. The legendary fruit eaten by snakes, can you still want to eat it?"

"That's just a legend. In fact, this kind of fruit can be eaten, but it's not delicious and no one wants to eat it."

"It's really not delicious, but it's good to take photos."

"You can't say it, such a big movie is really good."

“…”

As he said that, someone took out his cell phone and started taking pictures, and he was very excited.

The little girl pulled Li Fan and Su Qing and left.

The little girl is not interested in snake fruit at all.

As I walked, I heard someone's surprise sound on a sunny hillside, "Wow! There are so many prickly pears there!"

Li Fan's eyes lit up with a prickly pear.

Although the taste of prickly pear is not very good, it tastes bitter and sweet, and has a bit strange taste. However, it is a nutritious and nutritious fruit for nourishing and fitness.

In the foot of Baiyun Mountain, there are not many prickly pears.

Of course, some people like the bitter, sour and sweet taste of prickly pears, and they like to eat them very much.

"Have anyone found the prickly pear? Let's go over and take a look," Su Qing said.

Of course, Li Fan and the little girl had no objection.

So the three of them walked towards the hillside, where the sound came.

At the same time, other tourists around who heard the sound were also approaching.

Many people are very interested in prickly pears.

Li Fan, Su Qing and the little girl walked up the hillside, and then they saw a large area of ​​prickly pears in front of them.

The prickly pear is not a pear, but a fruit of perennial deciduous shrubs in the Rosaceae family.

Also known as Shanwang Fruit, thorn berries, frangipani, thorn pear, thorn pineapple, sending spring back, thorn sour pear, nine-headed bird, Wenxian Fruit, etc.

There are many names. Some are wild and some are specially planted.

Of course, all the prickly pears here are wild.

The silk-reeled flower, perhaps the prickly pear tree is a kind of shrub, generally 1 to 2.5 meters high and the branches are covered with sharp thorns.

The prickly pear is flat and spherical, slightly smaller in size than a ping-pong ball. The ripe prickly pear is yellow or yellow-brown, and the whole body is also covered with sharp thorns.

This is probably also the reason why it is called "sark pear".

A prickly pear tree, from branches to fruits, can be said to be full of thorns everywhere.

Therefore, you must be very careful when picking prickly pears.

Otherwise, you will easily be stabbed.

If you want to eat stinged pear fruit, you must also carefully remove the thorns around the stinged pear.

Otherwise, I can't eat it.

"Do you two want to eat?" Li Fan asked Su Qing and the little girl.

Su Qing and the little girl nodded at the same time.
