The green lump under Chen Long's feet was naturally the poop of the panda. Pandas loved to eat bamboo tender leaves, and bamboo tender leaves were green. Since the panda had eaten so many tender leaves, its poop would naturally be green. This was very easy to understand. Ang Lee knew that Chen Long had hit the jackpot with just a glance.
"It's still soft, and there's a clear fragrance. What is this?"
Chen Long said curiously as he held the panda poop in his hand and gently squeezed it.
The panda poop did have a clear fragrance. It was the fragrance of bamboo, even stronger than that of fresh bamboo. This was mainly because after fresh bamboo was digested by the panda's stomach, the lignin and cellulose contained in the bamboo were not digested and absorbed. The panda's body did not have enzymes that could break down cellulose and lignin. This was also the reason why pandas needed to eat bamboo constantly. Because the nutrients absorbed were very little, they could only eat a little more in order to maintain their body's needs. At the same time, because of the lack of nutrition, large cats were generally too lazy to move their bodies and seemed a little lazy.
On the other hand, the panda's intestines were very short, and the time that the bamboo stayed in the intestines was very short. Most of the bamboo was excreted before it had time to be digested. Bamboo that had not been fermented would naturally have a primitive fragrance.
Of course, the color of the panda's poop was not exactly the same. Different pandas had different lengths of bite joints when eating, so the length of the bamboo fiber left in the poop was also different. Sometimes, the color of the bamboo eaten would be different. If the panda ate the bamboo shoots, the poop would be light yellow-green. After all, this was the color of the bamboo shoots. After eating the bamboo stems, the poop would be light green, which was also the color of the bamboo joints. After eating the bamboo leaves and tender branches, the poop would be green. Many experienced experts could often judge the age and health of the panda based on the color of the poop and the length of the bamboo joints left.
The panda poop in Chen Long's hand was obviously left by a young and healthy panda because Ang Lee found that there were too many fine bamboo joints in the poop. Only a young panda with good teeth could grind food so fine, and an old panda with bad teeth did not have this ability.
"This is the poop of the flower bear. If it's soft, it's fresh."
The tall hunter turned around and walked back a few steps. He looked at the panda poop in Chen Long's hand and said.
"What? This is feces?"
Chen Long felt as if something was stuck in his throat. He hurriedly threw away the panda poop in his hand, feeling disgusted.
"It has always been said that feces are smelly. Why is this panda's feces fragrant? How strange. "
Chen Long asked in confusion, feeling depressed.
The tall hunter said with a smile, "General, you have never seen it before, so you naturally don't know. The excrement of this flower bear is like this. We countrymen pick it up and use it to make tea. As long as your bowel movements are blocked, as long as you drink this tea, it will be cleared immediately. The effect is better than eating croton. Drinking this tea is also good for health. "
"What? Make tea?"
Chen Long was shocked. His face was full of disbelief. He didn't dare to imagine that the poop of a giant panda could be used to make tea. How much courage did it take to drink it?
However, in fact, this was nothing. Didn't humans eat a lot of disgusting things? For example, honey. Wasn't this the saliva of a bee? Moreover, it was spat out and eaten. After eating it, spitting it out. Didn't humans also enjoy it? They even regarded honey as a very good delicacy. Bird's nest was also the saliva of a bird. Humans also liked to eat bird's nest very much. They didn't dislike it at all. Instead, they treated it as a very happy thing to be able to eat bird's saliva. Only rich merchants and nobles could eat bird's saliva.
Later generations still ate fly larvae? There was also cat poop coffee. It was half-digested coffee beans taken from a cat's poop. After washing it, this was the expensive cat poop coffee. It was simply boring to death. However, some rich people liked this. It seemed that as long as it was something that others couldn't afford, they would like it very much to show that their identity was different.
Ang Lee obviously didn't understand that the poop of a giant panda was used to make tea by the local mountain people. After all, this poop was too dirty. How could it be drunk?
"Have you drunk it?"
Ang Lee looked at the tall hunter and asked.
The tall hunter nodded and said, "Yes, of course I've drunk it. The taste is not bad. It's very delicious. There's a refreshing fragrance that makes people excited. "
"Haha! You really have drunk it. Then why don't you take some back? "
Chen Long said with a smile.
Hearing that the tall hunter had actually drunk tea made from panda poop, Chen Long's depressed mood immediately turned for the better. He had just touched the panda's poop, but the other party had actually drunk tea made from poop. It was self-evident who was more disgusting.
Ang Lee was more curious about how the mountain people here used the panda poop to make tea. Didn't they process it after picking it up? Even the cat poop coffee in later generations had to be processed first before it could be made into tea. If the cat poop was directly put into the teacup to make tea, I don't think anyone would be able to drink it.
"Then how do you make tea? These panda poop, you can't just put it in a bowl, right? That's too dirty. "
Ang Lee asked.
The tall hunter nodded and said, "Usually, it needs to be processed, but there are some that can be drunk directly. Our family first puts it in cold water and washes the bamboo leaves inside. Then, we specially collect these half-digested bamboo leaves and make bamboo leaf tea. It's very fragrant."
Obviously, the way the tall hunter's family handled it was relatively safe. This method was equivalent to eliminating most of the germs in the panda poop, leaving only the half-digested bamboo leaves that were washed clean. There were definitely very few germs and it was not very harmful.
"Those who drink it directly in water, won't it be life-threatening?"
Ang Lee asked curiously.
The tall hunter nodded and said, "It's not that they're sick. It's just easy to have diarrhea. Only those who have a bad stomach will drink it directly. This way, as long as it's diluted, the bowel movements will be smooth. There's no need to see a doctor."
A group of people actually talked about poop in the bamboo forest. This topic was a bit awkward, but it was also quite interesting. Everyone laughed happily.
The tall hunter said very generously that if Chen Long also wanted to drink it, he would give him a can of panda poop tea leaves that had been processed at home, but Chen Long obviously wouldn't want it. Even if the tea was really very fragrant, Chen Long wouldn't drink it. He really couldn't digest such a delicacy. Ang Lee naturally didn't have much interest in it. No matter how fragrant it was, he wouldn't drink it.
"The panda poop is here. Does this mean that this guy is nearby?"
Chen Long asked.
The tall hunter nodded and said, "This is very likely. Maybe it's not far away, at least not more than three miles away."
Ang Lee nodded very excitedly. The panda was right in front of him. As long as he looked carefully, he would definitely be able to find the panda's traces. Moreover, the panda's poop could also expose the panda's direction. This guy had exposed his own whereabouts.
The panda's poop was relatively round, and the other was relatively sharp. The direction that the sharp point pointed in was the direction that the panda was going.
"The panda should be in this direction."
Ang Lee pointed in front and said.
The tall hunter nodded and agreed with Ang Lee's point of view. He also had the same judgment. He knew that Ang Lee was right. The panda was indeed going in the direction that Ang Lee said.
Since they had found the panda's traces, the next step was naturally to follow closely. As long as they observed carefully, they would definitely be able to find the panda's traces.
The panda ate a lot, so it must have a lot of excrement. Since they could find the panda's poop in this place, they would definitely be able to find more if they continued to look for it. Just by looking for the panda's poop along the way, they would be able to find the panda's traces. Moreover, the panda would definitely leave some other traces wherever it passed. For example, the bamboo's thin branches and tender leaves would be broken as the panda walked past. The broken bamboo branches also had a direction, so it was very obvious that the panda was going in the direction that it left. This provided a very good opportunity to catch the panda.
"Look, this is newly broken. It must have been broken by the panda."
Ang Lee said as he walked and found a broken bamboo branch.
From the direction in which this thin strip of paper was broken, it was certain that Ang Lee was chasing in the right direction. The broken part was still very young, which meant that it had not been broken for long. The panda had passed by here not long ago.
"There are also traces of it being broken here."
The tall hunter who was walking seven or eight steps in front of Ang Lee also shouted. He also found the broken bamboo branch, which further confirmed that the direction they were chasing in was not wrong. The panda was just ahead. As long as they continued to chase, they would definitely be able to catch up with the panda and capture it in one fell swoop.
Later, Chen Long and the guards also found new traces of the broken bamboo. This was even more certain that the direction they were chasing in was not wrong. It was good to have more people. One person had a pair of eyes, and seven people meant seven pairs of eyes. The more eyes there were, the more details they could find. This was very useful in determining the direction of the pursuit.
"Assistant Minister Li, I found another panda's poop. It is softer than the previous one. It seems that we are getting closer."
Chen Long said excitedly.
The tall hunter walked at the front, but he did not find the panda's poop twice, which made him a little annoyed. In fact, he could not be blamed. There were too many fallen leaves on the ground and a lot of small bamboo. The panda's poop was green, the same color as the bamboo and fallen leaves on the ground. It was indeed very difficult to find. If Chen Long did not happen to step on the panda's poop twice, he would not have found it. In addition, the tall hunter put most of his attention on looking for the broken bamboo branch and did not pay attention to the situation under his feet.
This time, Chen Long did not pick it up with his hand. Instead, he took a small bamboo pole and poked it on the green poop of the panda. Then he felt the softness of the poop. As for the unique fragrance, he did not intend to smell it. After all, it was the panda's poop, not a treasure. It was quite uncomfortable to hold it and smell it.
"It is softer than the previous one. It seems that we are getting closer. Maybe we can see the panda soon."
Ang Lee said in a low voice. The closer they were to the panda, the more nervous he felt. In his previous life, he had lived for so long, but he had never had the opportunity to touch the panda's body. At most, he could only look at it from afar. This made Ang Lee feel quite regretful. But now, it was different. As long as he caught this cute little guy, then he would have the opportunity to touch it however he wanted. Especially the little cub that was just born not long ago, it was a very cute existence. It was a peerless cutie that made people unable to bear to put it down after holding it in their arms.
As they continued to move forward, Ang Lee and the group of seven found continuous traces of broken bamboo branches. Then, they found the panda's poop again. This fellow ate a lot. Along the way, they found a panda's poop every one or two hundred meters. It seemed that the panda's reputation as a glutton was not just for show. This fellow was a real glutton, a super glutton that could eat very much. It was a perverted glutton that would not stop until it had eaten all the bamboo forest.
The closer they got to the panda, the more nervous and excited Ang Lee and the group became. The panda's fighting power was not ordinary. No one could guarantee that the panda would not suddenly rush out or escape. Although the panda was very fat and was a cute ball, once it started running, it was definitely faster than a human. If a person followed behind it, they would definitely not be able to catch up. If they gave the panda a chance to escape, then there was no need to chase. They would not be able to catch up at all and it would be a waste of time.
The best way was to block all the escape routes of the panda before it escaped, leaving no loopholes. Then, they would surround and capture it. In this way, the panda would really not be able to escape.
"Assistant Minister Li, there seems to be some movement in front, and it's not small."
Chen Long saw that the tall hunter at the front had stopped moving, so he turned back and said to Ang Lee.
Ang Lee waved his hand and asked the guards behind him to squat down. Then, he quietly followed Chen Long until he was behind the tall hunter.
"Why did you stop moving? Did you see something? Is it a panda? "
Ang Lee asked in a low voice.
The tall hunter said, "I can't see it, but there's movement in front. At first glance, it's a big guy. It's very likely to be a flower bear."
Ang Lee observed carefully. In the dense bamboo forest in front, there was indeed a big guy twisting, but he could not see it clearly. Or rather, he could not see what it was at all. The bamboo leaves were too dense. He could only see the tips shaking, but he could not see what animal was causing the top of the bamboo to shake.
