Li Ming took all the mugwort back and quickly put it aside when he returned to the cave.
Leng Qianning and the others had already lit the fire and were waiting for Li Ming to process the papayas before they could start cooking them.
As for the fish, there is no more. After all, I ate a lot yesterday, and there are only two fish left.
As for the dried fish, it has not been successfully made, so it cannot be eaten.
Li Ming went to process the papaya, then cut it into pieces and put them in the pot, then poured in water.
You don’t need to worry about anything when boiling papaya, as long as you have water and melon. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the heat, and don’t let the fire become too small.
The two grilled fish were left over from yesterday. Although they are a bit cold, there is nothing wrong with them. They can be eaten.
"Brother Li Ming, you brought the mugwort back, can you make mosquito coils?" Su Yan came over and asked looking at the mugwort on the ground.
When Song Feifei and the others heard this, they immediately became interested, especially Chu Xiyue, who was bitten several times yesterday and couldn't even sleep well. When they heard that they could make mosquito coils, they hurried over and even got close to Li Ming.
Already.
"Li Ming! Do it now! These mosquitoes and I will fight to the death!" Chu Xiyue said through gritted teeth, and then scratched her arm.
"Don't scratch it, it will make it more itchy." Li Ming quickly warned.
"I can't help it." Chu Xiyue said with a hint of helplessness on her face.
Of course she knew that scratching would make it more itchy, but it would be very uncomfortable if she didn't scratch it, and she couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but scratch it.
Due to constant scratching, there were a few blood marks on the white jade arms, which looked very shocking, but Chu Xiyue looked helpless, because there was nothing she could do about it.
Not only Chu Xiyue, but also Song Feifei and the others were bitten more or less on their bodies, some on their feet, some on their legs, some on their necks...
But without exception, they all scratched themselves, so there were several blood stains on their white skin.
"Brother Li Ming, I'm itchy too." Su Yan stretched her legs over. There were one or two bumps on her thighs, which looked very conspicuous. However, Su Yan obviously had some patience and did not scratch the itch.
"Wait a moment, I'll go out for a while." Li Ming didn't expect the mosquitoes to be so serious, so he stood up slowly and said.
"Where are you going?" Song Feifei asked.
"I'm going out to look for it to see if I can find any herbal medicine to relieve the itching." Li Ming explained.
"I'll go with you. I also know some herbal medicine." Song Feifei stood up and said, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, she quickly added.
It's just that Song Feifei's last sentence was obviously redundant, because no one present doubted her, or even thought that she would have anything to do with Li Ming.
"Okay." Li Ming heard this and did not refuse. After all, one more person means more strength.
Song Feifei nodded slightly, and then prepared to leave with Li Ming.
"Feifei and I may come back later, so you can eat the papaya first without waiting for us." Li Ming said before leaving.
Leng Qianning and the others nodded to show that they understood.
When Song Feifei heard Li Ming call her Feifei, she didn't know why she felt a strange feeling in her heart, and her face was slightly hot, because except for her relatives, she would not allow other people of the opposite sex to call her that.
Hearing Li Ming call him this, Song Feifei didn't say much. It seemed that she had already acquiesced.
Li Ming left with Song Feifei, but Li Ming also left with a bottle because he planned to go to the pine tree to get some pine oil first.
Song Feifei followed all the way, watching Li Ming bring a bottle, and asked with a little doubt: "Li Ming, why do you bring this bottle?"
"Let's get the pine oil first, so we can make mosquito coils later." Li Ming explained.
"Oh." When Song Feifei heard this, she suddenly realized.
The two first came to the water source, and then Li Ming took Song Feifei to the pine tree.
Song Feifei looked at the pine trees in front of her and couldn't help but turn around a few times.
These pine trees are relatively strong and are at least several decades old.
Li Ming found one of the trees, took out his dagger and stabbed it hard.
It was not that simple to take out the pine oil. Li Ming poked it several times and opened a small opening, and then the pine oil slowly came out from inside.
However, the pine oil slowly flows down the tree, and it is still difficult to put it into the bottle, so Li Ming found a branch, split it in half, and then tried to flatten one side to make a wooden board.
Put one end of the board facing the opening, then insert it hard and secure it slightly. Then the pine oil will slowly flow down along the board and then drip on the ground.
Aim the mouth of the bottle you brought at the place where the pine oil is dripping. You will see drop after drop of pine oil fall into the mouth of the bottle. However, the speed is relatively slow, so it will take a lot of time.
While accumulating pine oil, Li Ming took Song Feifei to search for medicinal herbs.
Li Ming was quite familiar with the surrounding area, and he could still see the marks he left from time to time, so he quickly took Song Feifei to a place overgrown with weeds, which is the most likely place for herbs to grow.
"Be careful, there may be snakes in this place." Li Ming warned.
It is overgrown with weeds, otherwise it is easy for herbs to grow, but it is also easy for snakes to appear.
Li Ming specially found two branches, gave one to Song Feifei, and asked her to pat the grass in front of her.
The so-called alerting the snake, as the name suggests, is to drive the snake away, otherwise when you step on it, it will be really bad.
Although Song Feifei is careless sometimes, she is still a girl after all, so she has a physical fear of snakes and other creatures.
Not to mention girls, even boys may look scared when encountering snakes.
The first impression that comes to people's minds about snakes is that they are poisonous and will definitely lead to death if bitten.
Of course, if you are in a city, injecting serum can still save you, but in a place like this, if you encounter a poisonous snake and get bitten, and do not use the corresponding treatment plan in time, there is only one remaining solution.
Find a cool place to lie down so that you can die more comfortably.
Song Feifei held a branch in her hand and kept patting the grass in front of her, then searched around for herbs that could relieve the itching.
The same goes for Li Ming. He didn't want to be bitten by a snake, so he slapped the grass with a branch, but his eyes kept searching.
After searching for a while, I couldn't find it here. It seemed that there were no anti-itching herbs in this area, so I had to find another place to continue searching.
Fortunately, there are two or three places like this in Li Ming's memory, so it's not impossible to change places.
