Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Han Zhaozhao discovered quite a few hundred pieces of wood. After a rough count, she found that there were more than twenty of them.

She first picked up the big clusters and dug out a pile. After shaking off the soil and taking a look, Han Zhaozhao couldn't help but smile with joy.

After picking this bunch of fruits, the fresh fruit can weigh two kilograms. After soaking and drying, if one kilogram is produced from four kilograms, half a kilogram of finished product can be obtained.

The harvest is pretty good, it should be no problem to sell it for two or three cents.

Now is the right time to dig up Fritillaria thunbergii. After a year of growth, all the nutrients are stored in the roots and the medicinal properties are at their most abundant. If you dig it up at this time, the quality of the herb will be the best.

Han Zhaozhao was full of energy and worked hard. She dug and dug on the gentle slope of the valley!

It took about two hours to dig out most of the radix strychnis in Dadun.

Looking at the plump grape-like grapes at the roots of the radix radiata, Han Zhaozhao laughed.

Today's trip was not in vain. I harvested more than 40 kilograms of fresh mulberry, which can be made into 10 kilograms of dried products after being pickled. I should be able to sell it for two or three dollars.

Han Zhaozhao took out rubber gloves and put them on, cleaned the Fritillaria, put them into a wicker basket, and put them into the space.

Just when I was about to change the map and continue treasure hunting, I saw something passing by and disappearing into the grass out of the corner of my eye.

She immediately stopped what she was doing, not daring to move, staring at the bushes, feeling extremely nervous.

"A wild boar is not too big, a rabbit is not too small, as long as it's meat!"

Han Zhaozhao was so craving for meat that he was almost going crazy, and he was muttering to himself.

Hopefully, a wild animal will appear for her to catch and take home.

After waiting for a full minute, the tips of the grass didn't move at all.

Han Zhaozhao couldn't stand it! Compared with animals, she really had no patience now!

He bent down gently, put down the medicine hoe and medicinal materials in his hands, and slowly took off the rubber gloves.

Han Zhaozhao tiptoed, not daring to make any noise, and quietly approached the bush.

With a wave of her hand, the short knife in the space appeared in her palm, and she was ready to draw the knife.

When she got closer, she didn't expect to disturb the animals hiding in the bushes. With a "whoosh", a gray-black guy came out of the bushes and rushed towards her.

This unexpected abnormal behavior scared Han Zhaozhao. He subconsciously dodged and looked closely. She was smiling again.

Oh my goodness! I met a treasure!

It turned out to be a badger!

Wild badger

Badger cub

And it's an adult male badger!

They have long pig noses and heads that look like cousins ​​of wild boars, but they belong to the mustelid family and are not related to pigs at all.

In some areas they are called "country pigs". They do not grow large. An adult wild hog badger weighs less than 30 kilograms and is about the same size as a dog.

This animal is omnivorous and will eat anything, including frogs, loaches, mice, birds, and the roots, stems, and leaves of some plants.

In summer and autumn, badgers love to go into the fields to eat crops, such as corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes and other crops. They will not go into the fields until it is almost harvest time.

The closer it gets to harvest time, the more likely the badgers will come into the fields to eat and destroy the fruits. If you plant watermelons, the badgers will target them and steal them every night.

They are so malicious that they only eat the sweetest part of the watermelon, leaving the rest of the watermelon rotten. One bite can destroy one or two mu of land, and one or two acres of land can be destroyed in four or five days.

They eat and trample on the watermelon fields, making a mess. The watermelons they have gnawed cannot be eaten or sold, making the farmers' year's hard work go to waste, and making them hate them.

In the eyes of farmers, the badger is an animal more hateful than the wild boar.

In order to catch them, farmers use a combination of wits and courage, setting traps, digging snares, and setting nets at the entrances of their holes...all kinds of methods are used.

The wild boars still cannot be eliminated.

The main reason is that the reproductive capacity of the wild hog badger is very strong. It can give birth to two litters a year, with four or five babies in each litter and six or seven babies in each litter, which is not much less than that of domestic pigs.

Moreover, they have both defensive and offensive skills. Their well-developed limbs and sharp claws allow them to dig deep holes to hide and to actively attack.

Wild hogs are good things, their whole body is valuable. Their fur can be made into leather clothes and leather mattresses, which are very warm.

The meat is firm and mellow, rich in various nutrients, and has the therapeutic effect of replenishing the middle and strengthening the qi.

Badger oil is even more of a treasure. It is a very precious Chinese medicinal material and is very effective in treating burns, scalds and frostbite.

It can also treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.

According to a Chinese medicine friend in my previous life, pure wild badger oil is mainly used to treat insufficient Qi (stomach disease), uterine prolapse, coughing up blood, hemorrhoids, dry sores, scabies, white baldness, burns, frostbite, etc.

It is especially effective in treating burns, scalds and frostbite, and has a strong function in promoting cell regeneration, leaving no obvious scars after healing. It is highly praised by the people.

This wild boar was stubborn and had a bad temper. When it was discovered, it did not run away but turned around and confronted Han Zhaozhao.

While making "ao ao" sounds as a pig to protest to Han Zhaozhao, it waved its sharp claws and pounced on Han Zhaozhao.

"Oh! You really don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. How many eyes does the Horse King have?!"

Han Zhaozhao tensed his muscles and quickly entered combat mode, facing the charging badger with a dagger in hand.

He nimbly dodged the badger's open mouth, ignored its sharp fangs that were shining with cold light, and stabbed the badger's eyes with the tip of the knife accurately.

The fearless wild boar flapped its front paws and tried to scratch people, but Han Zhaozhao dodged it with his quick eyes and hands.

Han Zhaozhao underestimated its explosive power and was caught off guard. He had no time to draw his dagger and had to let go.

The badger became a one-eyed dragon. With the dagger stuck in its eye, it bravely rushed forward, howling in pain, and plunged into the bushes.

Han Zhaozhao turned around quickly, took out another iron rod from the space and held it in his hand, ready for another battle.

But to my surprise, I found that the badger had dug itself into the bushes and couldn't get out!

Hahaha! I’ll kill you while you’re sick!

Han Zhaozhao took a few steps forward, swung the iron stick and hit the badger's fat butt.

"Ah, ah, ah" As if the scene of slaughtering the New Year pig was recreated, the badger let out a series of miserable howls.

"I'll let you be able to, I'll let you be able to, if you have the guts, get up and fight again!" Han Zhaozhao hit him three times in a row, venting his inner fear.

The badger was not convinced and struggled hard, wanting to pull its head out and fight for another three or five rounds. Maybe it thought the other party was a little girl, so she was cute and easy to bully!

The badger may have stepped in dog shit, but it was unlucky. It never expected that the other's young body contained the soul of an adult who had experienced many battles.

A female fighter who can hunt wild boars in the mountains and catch tuna in the sea. But after two or three encounters, the adult male badger paid the price of his life for underestimating the enemy.

After being chopped once by Han Zhaozhao and hit three times with a stick, he let out several long pig-like squeals in pain, wailed, twitched and kicked his legs several times, and finally took his last breath with difficulty.

"I don't know what you're doing. If you run away at the beginning, I may not be able to catch up with you.

You didn't seize the great opportunity to escape and even wanted to go against humans. No matter how sharp your claws are, can they be sharper than the Golden Gang Wolf?

You forgot that humans are advanced animals, they are smarter than you, and they can use tools to kill you.

Children are also human beings. As long as they use their brains, you can't fight them.

There is a price to pay for looking down on others!"

Han Zhaozhao poked the badger's anus with an iron rod. It lay motionless, with its head buried in the bushes. The dagger was also stabbed deeply into its head. It collapsed to the ground, deader than dead.

After confirming that it was really dead, Han Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the rock next to him.

"Oh my god! I'm so tired. It's so exciting. My heart is pounding."

Han Zhaozhao put the dagger into the space, pulled up his trouser legs and took a look. It was really dangerous!
