Chapter 93: Thorn Cream and Cactus Fruit
The plaster used by Cai Hongming to pull thorns is called thorn removal ointment, which is mainly used for pulling thorns and removing poison sores, and is rarely used in normal times.
Not only does this thing feel strange to others, but Hongming, who has refined the plaster himself, also feels very strange.
He still doesn't know what the principle is. It's obvious that only a few medicinal materials are put together, so why this effect is really hard to explain. It is said that there are similar methods for pulling thorns in other places, but that method is very disgusting. Legend has it that it is made by adding thorns into other things and refining them with the Mo Ming technique. It is black and has a pungent fishy smell, but the effect is indeed the same as the thorns.
In fact, Cai Hongming, a lot of plasters at home, didn't know what was going on. He only knew how to refine them and what functions. If he asked him to tell why this happened, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly even if he was beaten to death.
Fortunately, his family just massages the bones and sells some homemade plasters. If they treat people, they will probably be cured.
Cai Hongming came to the place where the giant saguaro was. After looking carefully, he saw a few red fruits growing on the tall giant saguaro. It was almost on the top and on the side of the cactus. If he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find it. He looked around again and found that except for a few tall giant saguaro, there were no other shorter ones at all.
I don't know how it tastes?
Cai Hongming was a little greedy, but it was so high that it was difficult to climb, not to mention that the giant saguaro was covered with sharp thorns. Look at the thorns, when they were shining by the sun, they seemed to be emitting sharp light, which was not easy to deal with!
"Brother Hong, what are you doing?"
Liu Chong saw Cai Hongming standing here stupidly, and came over to ask. When he was fine, he liked to ride his stupid bull with two hollow sledgehammers and ran around, and he couldn't stop for a moment, as if he didn't do this, it wouldn't highlight his wisdom and magnitude.
"Look at it casually." Cai Hongming responded casually.
He didn't want to tell him about the fruit on the giant saguaro, otherwise when he turned around, the cactus fruit would be gone—there are some tricks for these guys to get the fruit on the giant saguaro.
Liu Chong listened to his treacherous words, but he didn't believe his words. In his words, Cai Hongming is a guy who can't get up early without profit, so how could he stand here to kill time in vain? So he looked at the place where Cai Hongming just looked. Oh, he actually found a few red fruits.
As expected.
It turned out that he wanted to take it alone just now.
Thinking of this, Liu Chong said to Cai Hongming: "Brother Hong. You are not interested enough. Good things need to be shared."
"It's okay to share it. If you pick it, I'll share half of it." Cai Hongming said generously.
Liu Chong looked at the giant saguaro and the dense spikes that were as short as six centimeters on it, and immediately threw Cai Hongming's tempting thoughts behind him. He was still self-aware. If he went up, it would not be him eating the cactus fruit, but the cactus would eat him.
Seeing the fat man's timid appearance, he knew that he didn't dare to go up, so he asked Liu Chong to go back and drive over. He took Zhang Chang ladder by the way, promising to pick the fruits later and share his portion.
Liu Chong immediately went back and drove.
After a while, he drove the truck over.
The trucks at Cai Hongming Farm are modified by Tuoba Niu and foreign smuggling vehicles. They are very large and durable. They can't get the license plate and can only pick up goods from Gulang. If they go to the city, they will definitely be arrested.
After he asked Liu Chong to park the car under the giant saguaro, he jumped into the car, put a ladder on the giant saguaro, and climbed up.
Liu Chong parked the car and climbed into the car. He was afraid that the ladder would slip, so he kindly helped Cai Hongming support him.
Although the ladder is very long, it cannot reach the top of the giant saguaro that has grown to about ten meters. With the height of the truck and Cai Hongming's height, it has just been able to reach the fruit that grows inside the giant saguaro.
When he got up there, Cai Hongming found that at some point, a big hole was dug out in the middle of the cactus. There was a bird nest inside and a few white eggs with small black spots. Snake, what kind of broken bird dared to come and harm him. Don’t you want to live? He also built the nest next to the cactus fruit. Could it be that he wanted to wait for the bird to be born as a snack for them? The bird’s parents are too careful!
The more I looked at it, the more unhappy he became. If he kept staying there, wouldn’t his cactus be useless? So, he reached into the bird’s nest and wanted to grab the bird’s nest and throw it away.
But at this moment, a bird egg suddenly started to move, and then slowly cracked a crack, which became bigger and bigger, and then all cracked, revealing a bird's head.
At this moment, Cai Hongming couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, whether it was embarrassment, guilt, or awe of new life. He quietly took his hand back. If the bird had not broken its shell, he could still make a move, throw the bird's nest, or even eat the bird's eggs, it would be fine. But if the bird had its shell, it meant that it was a complete life and no one had the right to deprive others of their right to survive. What's more, it was just a newborn bird!
The most cruel law in this world is the law of the jungle, also known as the law of nature.
The birth of a life does not mean that it can survive. It also has to undergo the test of nature's survival, diseases, hunger, and predation from the food chain above. It can be said that the lives that can survive and grow up in nature are the best among the same kind, and we humans call it "elite".
The bird had just emerged from the shell and had not opened its eyes yet. It was struggling foolishly with its tender body crawling around. Cai Hongming looked at it and felt pity for the great life.
So, he took out a purple gourd from the jade bead space.
After the jade tripod was broken, the jade toad liquid disappeared. Fortunately, there was also this gourd with inexplicable energy that could restore people to their vitality.
Cai Hongming opened the gourd, took out a leaf from the jade bead, dripped a drop of gourd water on it, poured it in while the bird opened its mouth. After feeding a few drops, it was packed up. I hope these drops of gourd water can make it grow up safely.
"Have Brother Hong picked it up? Why is it so slow?" Liu Chong couldn't wait to urge him down.
Cai Hongming ignored him and picked a few fruits that were already purple on the giant saguaro, and sat on the long ladder to eat. Since the bird has settled its home here, it means there is something to eat here. Although there are no insects on the farm, there are many leaves, sweet potatoes, and corn in the sweet potato field, so he is not afraid of the bird starving to death. Then he should enjoy these cactus fruits, otherwise they will break if they are left for a long time.
Cai Hongming comforted himself and ate the cactus fruit happily.
The cactus is delicious and juicy, and tastes a bit like the fruit of the Southern Myrtle (years) but it has a little more sweetness and is delicious.
Liu Chong saw Cai Hongming eating on top, and he swallowed his saliva from below, "Brother Hong, don't bring such a thing, you should throw it for me to taste it! Or did I drive the car?"
How could Cai Hongming feel strange when he heard this? It seemed that Zhu Bajie was saying: "Brother Monkey, you should give me some taste. This vegetarian food is still made from my old pig."
