Chapter 33. Picking mushrooms, ginger, attapulgite in the coming rainy season...

    After empty mountains and new rain, the weather is late to autumn.

    Jiang Zhaoci was breathing the fresh air in the mountains, and this ancient poem could not help but pop into her mind.

    Of course, in tropical rain forests, there are no seasons. There are no so-called spring, summer, autumn and winter here, only rainy and dry seasons.

    After only a few days of not leaving, the weeds at this entrance have grown so dense that they have to be cut to the point where they can enter.

    Jiang Zhaoci carefully avoided these grasses. Fortunately, she was wearing a coat. Otherwise, there were bloodstains from the weeds on her arms. After the rain, many poisonous  insects emerged. Most of the leaves and the ground were these insects.

    For people who are afraid of bugs, this is really a nightmare, especially the shape of some bugs is very difficult to describe, such as the caterpillar in front of which looks like a palette, the color saturation is so high that it is suffocating .

    But Jiang Zhaoci was indifferent to them and was not afraid of them. After all, learning plant protection also requires catching insects. She stared at the pink-colored insects on the leaves in front of her. Mantis!

    She carefully stretched out her hand and placed it on the blade, and the orchid mantis jumped onto her hand, stretched out its slender forelimbs, and its body gradually turned pink and white. Jiang Zhaobai couldn't help but probe over and asked softly, "How's this mantis? It's beautiful, what's its name?"

    Jiang Zhaoci put the mantis in her hand on the leaf, and walked forward reluctantly, "This is called the orchid mantis, and it is considered to be responsible for the appearance of the mantis, but beautiful things are always short-lived. It can only live for a few months."

    But it is too common in nature, and the orchid mantis has a beautiful and weak appearance, and when it starts to catch insects, it is simply like a ruthless killer.

    The fungus on the tree came out after the rain. She turned around the dense grass and came into the woods. Jiang Zhaoci reached out and picked the fungus. The little squirrel watched her movement and then looked at the fungus on the tree.

    Jumping on the tree, hugging the tree with one paw, using the other paw to pluck off the fungus in the high places, and throw it into Jiang Zhaoci's back basket, watching Xiaomi and Xiaohei clapping their hands there, with a pair eyes that express 'big brothers is really powerful '.

    This made the little squirrel pick even more vigorously. He picked all the half-baskets of fungus. Jiang Zhaoci squatted on the ground. The oleifera trees and the brown-capped porcini mushrooms growing out of the pine fields were incredibly large.

    "Mom and dad, stop picking the fungus, come here and pick the boletus!"

    "Why is this fungus bigger than my hand?" Dad Jiang said in surprise, the brown-capped boletus was bigger than its size. palm.

    Jiang Zhaoci pulled up the porcini by the roots and put them in the back basket. She answered Jiang's father calmly, "It's not unusual for this fungus to be so big. I ate it when I went to Nan Province before, and those are even better than the ones you have in your hands. It should be big."

    "These days, we will pick more and save more food. I'm afraid that the rainy season in this tropical rain forest is coming."

    After three days of light rain, Jiang Zhaoci felt that the rainy season should begin. At that time, if there is no food to eat, it is really not a wise move to go to the forest to pick food in the rain.
