Back to the Wilderness

Chapter 91 Cotton Leaf

This is a plant that looks very much like a loquat leaf, but it is more than twice the size of a loquat leaf. The flesh is quite thick, almost two centimeters thick, and the leaves are oily and oblong.

Ji Fuyun pinched this peculiar plant, it was very soft to the touch, the place he pressed was sunken, and after a while it slowly returned to its original shape, it seemed that what was under the green leaf cuticle was not the mesophyll, but a piece of sponge.This overturned Ji Fuyun's initial judgment, this is not a succulent plant.

Ji Fuyun had never seen this type of plant before, so he became very curious for a while, so he put aside the inspection of wild vegetables for the time being, and started to study them instead.

The smell and color are normal, Ji Fuyun carefully looked at it inch by inch, but paused when he saw the root of the plant, is this the petiole?

Ji Fuyun always thought that this thing was a herbaceous plant similar to aloe vera, but unexpectedly it was a leaf of a woody plant.Ji Fuyun thought about it, most of the hills are pines and cypresses, if there is a tree full of such leaves, he will not ignore it.

He really wanted to use supernatural powers to identify it, but today's four chances have long been used up, so he can only wait until tomorrow.

He gently scraped off a small piece of leaf epidermis with his fingernails, observed the mesophyll inside, and said that the mesophyll was no longer suitable, and the exposed part was all white velvet-like fibers, dry and soft, without a trace of moisture.

Ji Fuyun couldn't help being surprised, so he simply scraped off the skin. Sure enough, the whole leaf was made up of a lot of fibers, and the leaves with the skin off showed pure white, like a large ball of cotton.

If Ding Yun hadn't seen Ji Fuyun scrape off the surface of the leaves little by little with his own eyes, he would have thought that what he took was a large handful of cotton.She was surprised: "What is this?"

"I don't know yet." Ji Fuyun shook his head, but he can be sure that the cellulose content of this thing is definitely around 90.00%, comparable to cotton.

Then they can completely use this thing as cotton, and use animal skins to sew some simple cotton-padded jackets and quilts, and most importantly, they can use it as some private hygiene products for women.

Of course, the premise is to confirm that this thing is healthy and non-toxic.

Having found another useful plant, Ji Fuyun was in a good mood, and was a little impatient to identify it.

But a few hours before dawn, Ji Fuyun looked through all the wild vegetables that hadn't been inspected, and then kept studying there with the leaves.

He has already figured out the source of the leaves. Xu Huihui scooped them up from the water while cleaning the soil on the roots of edible plants by the stream. It is very likely that the tree with these leaves is upstream of the stream.

After confirming the health, you can follow the clues to collect.

"Still sleeping?" Xie Cheng also finished his work and came over.

Ji Fuyun pretended to be profound and said with a smile: "I'm doing research."

Xie Cheng laughed twice, leaned against the rock and closed his eyes to rest, still talking to Ji Fuyun: "Scholar Ji University, what have you researched?"

Seeing him like this, Ji Fuyun suddenly realized that this thing in his hand could also be made into a soft pillow, which would greatly improve their sleeping environment. He was delighted and joked: "It is closely related to the career that human beings tirelessly pursue throughout their lives. "

Xie Cheng didn't feel sleepy at all. When Ji Fuyun said it, he didn't even bother to close his eyes to rest. He went to sit next to Ji Fuyun and saw the strange plant in his hand at a glance, "Cotton?"

"No." Ji Fuyun shook his head, "It's a high-fiber woody plant similar to cotton."

Xie Cheng could naturally see the convenience brought by this plant, and boasted: "Scholar Ji University is indeed the mascot of our team."

"Mascot?" Ji Fuyun raised his eyebrows, "Gao Yiyang said that?"

Xie Cheng immediately confessed unkindly: "It's him."

"Haha." The two looked at each other and smiled, and after chatting for a while, Ji Fuyun asked, "Can you see the exact time now?"

Xie Cheng raised his head and stared at the moon, "Around eleven o'clock."

"Excellent." Ji Fuyun gave a thumbs up.

Xie Cheng chuckled, and after a while, he said meaningfully: "You are also very good. It is said that your teacher has made great achievements in plant cultivation. I didn't expect the students he taught to be so talented in identifying plants."

Ji Fuyun's finger on the other side suddenly froze, but he still maintained a normal expression on his face, emptied his eyes as if recalling, without any emotion: "Ji Fufeng likes plants very much. Just study these with him often."

The heart beats rhythmically, without panic, and you need to listen quietly to hear the heartbeat in the silent night.Ji Fuyun pushed his weirdness to the genius Ji Fufeng, but he knew that Xie Cheng had already become suspicious. Every time Chen Jia was surprised, as if Ji Fuyun was not human, his eyes repeatedly emphasized Ji Fuyun's abnormality, and only when he was incomparable to Ji Fuyun He Zhongqing, who is dependent, subconsciously ignores his extraordinary erudition.

Xie Cheng's knowledge and knowledge are not comparable to Gao Yiyang's group of complete laymen. He can naturally find that Ji Fuyun's unusualness completely exceeds the level that a botanist should have.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to know such a genius." Xie Cheng followed his words, with a bit of regret in his tone.

"Yeah, what a pity." Originally, Ji Fuyun just used Ji Fufeng as a shield, but now he was really missed, and couldn't help feeling depressed, feeling sorry for Ji Fufeng's short but painful life.The originally high-spirited momentum was cut off by the sharp blade in an instant, leaving only countless deep and shallow wounds.

Under the night, Ji Fuyun's figure was bleak and lonely.

Xie Cheng looked away from Ji Fuyun, with an innocent expression on his face, "I'm going to sleep first, you continue to study."

Not being questioned further, Ji Fuyun breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about how to deal with Xie Cheng in the future, and he couldn't always pretend to be unlovable every time.It's not that he doesn't trust Xie Cheng, it's just that everyone should have their own hole cards, just like Ye Feisheng never showed how much powder he still has that can ignite fire, and Xie Cheng never fully demonstrated his strength.

Well, in the final analysis, it is because there is not enough trust.

After twelve o'clock, Ji Fuyun identified a cotton-like plant before going to bed with peace of mind.

Name: cotton leaf

Features: non-toxic, with trace bactericidal effect.Containing more than 90% cellulose, micronaire value between 4-4.2.

It's the best variety of cotton wool.

The next day, Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng temporarily put down their hunting and followed Ji Fuyun to look for cotton leaves.Of course, if Xie Cheng is willing to give Ye Feisheng a share, he will naturally squeeze more benefits from him.

Walking upriver along the stream, I found that the stream is branched from a river.Rivers flow through the mountains, from north to south.

Ji Fuyun found another cotton leaf in the river, and the group went upstream to search again along the river.

During the period, I also encountered some wild beasts that came out to look for food. After a morning's work, I was lucky enough to hunt three wild boars, and countless pheasants and hares.

As the main force in the search for cotton leaves, Ji Fuyun finally didn't have to fight at the forefront when hunting, and experienced the feeling of sitting back and reaping the rewards.I have to say, it felt really good.

"That tree in front is so big!" Xu Huihui exclaimed.

Ji Fuyun had already seen that tree. Its trunk was thick enough to be surrounded by several people. It was ten meters high, with a wide crown and lush branches and leaves.The layers of leaves are exactly the cotton leaves he found last night.

"It's here." Everyone quickened their pace and walked under the tree, only then did they truly feel the luxuriance of the tree. There was no sunlight under the shade of the tree, and the fallen leaves were piled up layer by layer. What they saw was dim.

Most of the cotton leaves that fell in humid places have rotted, and the fibers are black. Some cotton leaves fell in dry and sunny places, and the cuticles of the leaves were peeled off, and the white fibers were fluffy and swollen, as soft as cotton candy.

Xu Huihui couldn't help swallowing when she said this metaphor.

Xie Cheng left a group of people to pick the cotton leaves from this tree, and the rest continued to look for other cotton leaf trees.Although there are many cotton leaves on a tree, they cannot withstand their consumption. Open source is the fundamental.

Climbing trees is already a piece of cake for Ji Fuyun now. What he picks are very plump leaves with oily and yellowish cuticles. Those cotton leaves are relatively green and tender, and the fibers inside are not yet mature. It can be left to grow slowly.

A dozen or so people moved quickly, and after picking one-third of the cotton leaves, Ji Fuyun told them to stop, not to kill them all, and continue to the next cotton leaf tree.

Cotton leaves are very light, but they take up a lot of space, and it is a big trouble to carry them. It is not a day to carry enough cotton leaves back.

In the next few days, everyone gathered cotton leaves, looked for wild vegetables, and hunted.

The members of Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng's team got along very harmoniously.Chen Ge pointed to the right direction in the deep mountains, and the two teams began to call him "pigeon" affectionately; Ji Fuyun's girls are all very good-looking, so they are naturally the center of everyone's ridicule, but they are all kind praises , is also harmless.On the other hand, there was a boy on the other side who really approached Zhao Lan with a bouquet of wild flowers, but he was rejected. The boy was depressed for several days because of this.

Niach collided with Ji Fuyun several times intentionally or unintentionally, but Ji Fuyun didn't pay him much attention.When he didn't find a solution once and for all, he didn't want to have too much contact with the loach for the time being, he was afraid that he would lose control of his reason.Sometimes the meaning revealed in Niqiu's words made him want to kill this person on the spot.

During the lunch break, Huangfu Yixiu took Xie Cheng to her side.

Ever since Huangfu Yixiu insisted on competing with Xie Cheng but lost quite quickly, he always proposed to compete with Xie Cheng from time to time.

Regarding this, Gao Yiyang maintained a high level of vigilance, "I feel that this woman is uneasy and kind, she just wants to use a beauty trick to deceive Boss Xie!"

Ji Fuyun twitched the corner of his mouth, seeing Huangfu Yixiu's attitude was entirely because he refused to admit defeat.

"Then she drew with you last time, why did she refuse to admit defeat and ask you to continue to compete!" Gao Yiyang deliberately emphasized the word "competition", gritted his teeth with hatred, and said angrily: "Why don't you have any sense of crisis at all! That woman is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a domineering personality, and even her name has one word more than the average person, and she is much more attractive than those little jaspers at home!"

"That's right." Xu Huihui echoed, "Even if they don't have this idea now, there is no guarantee that they will not fall in love for a long time! Many novels, movies and TV shows are like this. The conditions are difficult, the life is poor, and we share weal and woe, and then one day suddenly feel It's not bad to live with each other like this, hit it off! Then we're done!"

"As a person who has experienced it." Lao Wang emphasized this point, "I am responsible to tell you that men are not trustworthy, and they can be fascinated when they meet a woman."

Gao Yiyang nodded heavily, recalled the scene of his boss being abducted, and immediately felt heartbroken, "We can't let the tragedy happen!"

Ji Fuyun turned around and left.

Xu Huihui grabbed him, "Hero Ji, you are the one with the highest IQ here, you can't leave, you have to find a way!"

Ji Fuyun said helplessly, "What you are worried about will not happen."

"How do you know that you can't!" Xu Huihui insisted, "No one can say anything about feelings. A man can like a man. How normal is it for a man to like a woman! What's more, they are a wonderful pair of men and women. Ahhhh~"

Ji Fuyun paused, looked sideways at Xie Cheng and Huangfu Yixiu over there, Xie Cheng seemed to be giving pointers, Huangfu Yixiu nodded from time to time, and occasionally refuted, and then Xie Cheng personally demonstrated to convince the other party.

Ji Fuyun withdrew his gaze and said, "Even if Xie Cheng is with someone else, he won't ignore us."

Xu Huihui lowered her head, she was right, but she just felt so uncomfortable.

After a short lunch break, I continued working again.Xie Cheng, who returned to the team, received a lot of glaring eyes.

"What's the matter?" Xie Cheng asked.

"Hmph!" Gao Yiyang and Xu Huihui both turned their heads.

Lao Wang looked at Xie Cheng as a person who had been there, with infinite compassion in his eyes.

Xie Cheng asked Ji Fuyun with his eyes.

Ji Fuyun laughed, but maybe he thought that Xie Cheng like this was quite interesting, so he turned his head silently with a stern face.

Xie Cheng: ...
