37. Blood pine
I wasn't injured. Where did the blood come from? I stretched out my hand and touched my back suspiciously, and sure enough it was sticky. When I lay down in front of me, I saw a dark red liquid on my hand. I smelled it and there was a fishy smell.
I didn't dare to think too much at the moment, I immediately took off my coat and jumped up. Looking back, I saw that the pine tree I had just leaned on had opened a small opening in the position where I was leaning, and blood was flowing out.
The mouse said: "It has become a spirit. This pine tree must have become a spirit!" After saying that, he grabbed me and wanted to run away.
I broke free from his big hand and said: "Not necessarily, there are many kinds of pine trees. Legend has it that in ancient times there was a kind of blood pine. It didn't look like blood, but its trunk would overflow with blood-like sap every once in a while. This kind of pine tree does not look like blood.
The sap is the favorite delicacy of animals. Animals often come to eat it, but it has become extinct long ago. Look at this old tree, which is five meters thick. You can’t see the top at a glance. I don’t know how many years it has lived. I think it is probably extinct.
Long-standing blood pine.”
After hearing what I said, the mouse knew that there was no danger, and said: "Ah, weird things happen every year, but this year is the only one. I didn't expect this tree to come too. No wonder there have been squirrels and rabbits around you since you were leaning against this tree just now."
They were following us around, I thought the animals in the primeval forest were willing to tease us, and we had been having trouble for a long time because you were blocking their delicious food."
I called him to hide in the grass nearby, wanting to test whether my judgment just now was correct. Sure enough, as soon as I left the blood pine for a while, I saw a gray-brown hare jumping close to the blood pine. It looked left and right.
The man actually licked the blood dripping from the tree trunk with big mouthfuls, looking very greedy. After the delicious meal, it flicked its two powerful hind legs, and somehow it stumbled and fell head-first. We and we
Seeing this, I couldn't help covering my mouth and bursting into laughter. I'm afraid that the rabbit was so full that it couldn't move around anymore. I saw it stood up and swayed from side to side, jumping here and there.
I said: "Mouse, it seems that the sap of the blood pine contains alcohol or anesthesia. Look at it, it can't stand still. Go and catch it!"
After spending a lot of money to destroy it, he caught the hare by its ears without even trying to escape.
"Don't tell me, are we just waiting for the rabbit to come out? Haha..."
I thought about it carefully and said: "Since this tree blood contains alcohol or anesthesia, we should not eat it randomly. It will stagger around after drinking it. If we eat it, it will be in a daze and will come out in a while."
Doesn’t this fierce beast even have the ability to run?”
The mouse took out a fruit knife from his bag to skin the rabbit and said: "You are overthinking. Even if there is anesthesia, you don't look at how old the rabbit is? It's like drinking. A child gets drunk after drinking half a glass of beer."
, we two gentlemen are still drunk after drinking half a cup?"
My analysis is also the same. If I don't replenish my strength, let alone go down the mountain, I won't have the strength to walk a few more steps. I found a pine tree branch, lit it with Mouse's brand-name lighter, and handcuffed me. Not to mention,
Although there are no various condiments, the wild rabbit meat is tender and has a light aroma from the roasted pine wood. It is quite delicious and we both devoured it.
