Chapter 254 Yam
Ye Yan held the wooden spear in his hand, took two dried fish and a dry kindling, and was ready to set off.

If you want to live a healthy life in the wilderness, you must expand the territory and explore the unknown. There may be dangers in this process, but since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger, and the benefits may be enough to live in this wilderness. life for a month.

Moreover, exploring the unknown is also one of the pleasures of man's romance and wilderness.

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon, that is, excluding the time to return, Ye Yan only spent about three hours exploring outside, and three hours should be able to explore a few hundred meters nearby.

On the left side of the residence is the river, and on the right side is a forest that Ye Yan has never set foot in, so Ye Yan decided to go to the right side.

The boots stepped on the grass and fallen leaves all over the ground, making a "rustling" sound, and Ye Yan moved forward among the shadows and branches.

Various ancient vine ferns grow here, as well as ferns from the same period as the dinosaurs.

The huge ancient trees are intertwined and spread their branches and leaves at a height of tens of meters, and the green branches and leaves cover the sky.There are some small vines hanging from the branches, and there are many green moss growing on the trunk. There are birds jumping and insects crawling in the canopy, and there are few monkeys swinging above.

The ground is full of fallen leaves and decaying trees, where various green plants grow, making it difficult to walk.

There are ancient charms everywhere, and the virgin forest is worthy of it.

Ye Yan walked through the trees with his eagle eyes open, observing whether there were large animals in the surrounding trees from time to time.

You know, besides the white tiger that seems to be extinct in Gaoligong Mountain, there are also Bengal tigers.

The wild male Bengal tiger is 180-260 kg, one of the largest cat subspecies, second only to the Siberian tiger in size.Moreover, the Bengal tiger is strong and agile, with strong wildness and combat effectiveness.

If Ye Yan was being targeted by a tiger, he probably ran away as well as ran away. The combat strength of the two sides was not at the same level. Although Ye Yan had hunting skills, he only had this wooden spear and a small dagger in his hand. To be the best hunter, one must have tools.

With such tattered equipment, it was still difficult to match this kind of tiger for a while.

However, the distribution of Bengal tigers here is relatively small, and Ye Yan has never been a non-chief, so he should not be able to come across them.

Besides tigers, there are also wild boars and poisonous snakes. Wild boars can also be compared to tigers, and hunters don't want to encounter such stupid young people.

If wild boars can still fight, poisonous snakes are even more deadly. Although they are not as big as these animals, they are even more deadly.

The real bite who gets pregnant.

……

"rustle……"

Ye Yan pushed aside a patch of grass, and was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect to find another endangered species.

He squatted down hastily, for fear of disturbing the creature, he looked at the little black ball and said: "It seems that my luck is still good, I actually met another endangered species, you see, just ahead At the root of that big tree, half of the head was exposed."

The little black ball stretched out the camera, and accurately aimed at the thick root of the big tree ten meters away. A small brown-gray head appeared, as if looking at Ye Yan.

Before Ye Yan came to Gaoligong Mountain, he knew about some protected creatures here, and the creature in front of him was one of the endangered protected creatures, the civet.

Civets are mammals of the civet family.

The civet in front of Ye Yan is a small civet, slightly larger than a domestic cat, weighing about 3 kg.About half a meter in length.Tail more than half of body length.The snout is pointed, the face is narrow, the upper and lower edges of the dorsal flap of the ear capsule are continuous with the edge of the ear shell, and the four legs are black-brown, so it is called "black-footed civet".Body base color brown gray, milk yellow or Chu yellow.Body color and markings may vary from season to season.

Moreover, these civets also secrete a kind of balm, which has a slightly "glutinous rice fragrance" or "musky" smell.

Moreover, the fur of civets can also be used to make furs and pens, so they are hunted to the point of second-class protected animals.

The appearance of the little civet also reminded Ye Yan that there must be edible wild fruits nearby, because the civet itself eats wild fruits and feeds on wild mice.

Civet meat is also edible, it belongs to the first-class game, and the meat can nourish yang.

But Ye Yan had food on him, so he didn't need to bother to catch this civet.

Ye Yan waited and watched for a while, and then left quietly. It is a great blessing to see these endangered animals with his own eyes. Ye Yan has already considered asking Ning Yi to help him buy a few lottery tickets.

……

Leaving the huge ancient tree with the civet in it, Ye Yan continued on.

"rustle……"

Stepping on the fine fallen leaves, the sun is gradually setting in the west, and wisps of sunlight are projected in the dense forest, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Ye Yan looked at the time, yes, he continued to walk for a while, then went back, it was getting late, there are many dangerous animals in the forest that come out to look for food at night, it would be unwise to stay in the forest at night .

The current season is just after the Awakening of Insects, those poisonous snakes are still in hibernation, few come out to move.

And Ye Yan wandered in the forest for a long time, but didn't find any edible plants. I don't know if Ye Yan ran out of luck, and he didn't even see a common yam.

Ye Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the temperature here is relatively hot, and since the forest is not ventilated, it is also very hot after walking for a long time.

He licked his chapped lips and said, "The weather is approaching now. If I don't get anything, I have to go back home. I have to stay around the shelter as much as possible at night, and use the flames to drive away poisonous snakes and beasts."

As he said that, Ye Yan continued to walk forward. In three hours, Ye Yan had almost walked five to 600 meters vertically. The main reason was that Ye Yan would carefully explore the surrounding plants to prevent missing any edible food.

Just when Ye Yan was about to give up, suddenly, his eyes lit up. Under a small tree, there was a strange plant growing, like a vine, clinging to the trunk. The trunk was only about one-third the size of the index finger. .

There are some broad ovate or halberd-shaped leaves on it, about the size of half a palm to a palm, with acuminate apex and wide heart-shaped base.

This is the leaf of the yam, and there must be a yam underneath.

Ye Yan was overjoyed, held up a leaf in his palm, and said: "Look, this is the leaf of yam. Yam is also called earth potato, Huaishan, white yam, etc. It has the effects of nourishing and strengthening, helping digestion, suppressing sweating, and stopping diarrhea. Efficacy. And its starch content is not low, it can be said to be the best source of carbohydrates that can be found so far.”

"It's really nice."

Ye Yan sighed, picked up the spear in his hand, and prepared to start digging yams. This kind of plant has edible roots, and the roots of yams usually go deep into the ground, so digging still takes a lot of effort.

And just as Ye Yan leaned over and began to dig, suddenly, there was a howl from behind——

"Hum!"
