Richard panicked the whole night. The next morning, he found that he was not missing an arm or a leg, and his urinary tract was clear. He knew that the Oregon sorrel he had eaten yesterday had been cleared out of his stomach. Other than the fact that his feces were a little thin, there were no more serious consequences, so he jumped up and down again.
"Quack!" It flew to Zhang Zian's shoulder. "You idiot, are you still asleep? Do you owe the deer money? Why would the deer chase you? "
The other elfins were confused, because Zhang Zian's words sounded ridiculous. If Fina could make the house cat chase them, or Vladimir could make the stray cats follow them, then everyone would believe it. But the problem was, why would the deer listen to him?
Zhang Zian did not explain, because a lion's poop was better than a bear's poop. While he was packing his backpack, he took out a small plastic can and put it on his waist. He patted the can confidently and said, "Do you know what this is? This is a magic can, second only to Aladdin's magic lamp. As long as this can is here, the deer will obediently chase behind us. "
"Quack?"
The elfins' eyes were all focused on the seemingly ordinary little can, but no matter how they looked at it, they could not see anything special about it.
Not to mention the other elfins, even Old Time Tea was puzzled. "Zian, are you kidding?"
"A monk doesn't lie. Just admit that you're bragging. No one will laugh at you. After all, everyone is used to it." Richard patted his head with his wings. "When are you going to shave your head?"
Zhang Zian waved his hand to chase Richard away. "I'm not kidding. Practice is the only standard to test the truth. Let's try it and see if the deer will follow us."
Although the elfins had a hundred doubts, if he did not explain, they would not be able to guess what the mystery of the can was.
When they set off again, just like yesterday, Famous walked in front, Galaxy and the owl played hide-and-seek around it, and the other elfins either walked in front or beside him. Anyway, no elfins fell behind.
Zhang Zian saw that no one was paying attention. He held his hiking stick in one hand and quietly touched his waist with the other, twisting the can to about 90 degrees.
Following his movements, more than a dozen small round holes as thick as sewing needles quietly appeared on the top of the jar.
In fact, he wasn't 100% sure that he could use this small jar to attract the deer, but it was theoretically possible. The old hunters in the northeastern forests of China used this method to hunt deer in the past, but he wasn't sure if this method would work in the forests of the United States. After all, the national conditions were different.
Even if it wasn't possible, there was nothing he could do about it. Finding the missing Megan was his top priority, and time waited for no one.
The elfins turned their heads from time to time as they walked, not to look at Zhang Zian, but to look past him to see if there were any deer following them.
Zhang Zian pretended to be calm, but he wasn't sure. He didn't need to look back. If the herd of deer followed behind him, the elves would notice in advance.
After walking for the entire morning, they had lunch more than an hour later than yesterday. This was because they had to find a stream before they could cook. This way, they could replenish their water supply and save water.
In addition, Richard's reckless behavior of eating wild plants yesterday was not worth advocating, but it did remind him that there was no need to only eat canned food. The forest was a huge treasure trove, and there were abundant plant resources in the surroundings, including those that could be eaten.
Therefore, when he was hiking in the morning, he looked at his phone while walking, comparing the plants he saw in real life with the pictures of edible plants saved on his phone. When he saw edible plants, he would collect them and put them into plastic bags. When it was time to cook lunch, he would wash them in the stream and cook them with the rice.
After cooking them, Richard stared at the vegetables with rice in front of him with a face full of suspicion. "Quack? You're finally going to do something to me? "
Once bitten, twice shy, it looked at every plant that was collected from the forest with fear.
"These are all edible. Didn't you want to eat fresh vegetables?" Zhang Zian asked.
No matter what he said, Richard refused. "Forget it, I'll just eat nuts … Right, do you still have the freeze-dried fruits from yesterday?"
"No, I ate them all." Zhang Zian spread his hands.
Richard cried out in grief and indignation, "God! Earth! Why am I so unlucky! "
Since it didn't want to eat, Zhang Zian happily poured its share of vegetables back into the pot, mixed it with the canned food, and then filled a big bowl for himself and Famous.
With yesterday's lesson from Richard, Famous also had doubts. It wasn't worried for itself, but for itself and Zhang Zian. Zhang Zian ran a pet shop, not a botanical garden. Although eating canned food was obviously not nutritionally balanced, there was no need to take risks for nutritionally balanced food. If there was a mistake, wouldn't both of them be "dead"?
Old Time Tea knew some pharmacology, so it laughed and said, "I can recognize two or three of these plants. This is alfalfa, and this is dandelion flowers. They are not poisonous and can be used as medicine, but it's okay to eat them … This is the first time I've seen this kind of plant that looks like a sunflower, including the Oregon sorrel from yesterday. What's their origin?"
The plant that Old Time Tea had questions about was a kind of plant with pointed leaves like arrows and bright yellow flowers that looked like miniature sunflowers.
Zhang Zian explained, "Yesterday's Oregon sorrel and this kind of sunflower-like flower are local specialties. They can't be found in China, so it's normal that you can't recognize them … I forgot the scientific name of this flower. Anyway, it's quite a mouthful. The locals call it Oregon sunflower. Just from the name, you know that this kind of plant can't be found anywhere else. The leaves, fruits, roots, and stems of this plant can all be eaten. It's okay to eat it raw. "
Old Time Tea, who was humble and eager to learn, suddenly understood and dispelled the doubts in its heart.
Famous listened to him clearly and didn't seem to be guessing. It also dispelled the worries in its heart and lowered its head to enjoy today's braised meat and wild vegetable rice.
"It's quite sweet and delicious!" It tasted the taste and gave a good comment.
"Hmph! Don't try to tempt me! "Richard jumped over." What is sweet? I don't believe it, unless you let me have a taste! "
Famous and Zhang Zian both protected their rice bowls very well, so Richard didn't have a chance to eat them at all.
After eating, he simply washed the pots and bowls and boiled a pot of water to make tea. At this time, the rice bowls became tea bowls, and he poured the boiled hot water and tea leaves into the thermos bottle for him and Old Time Tea to drink in the afternoon. The elfins that didn't sing tea had another room temperature kettle.
He was busy by the stream when he saw the elfins all stand up and stare straight at the path they came from.
It's a deer!
