"Juice is flowing?"
What a strange saying!
Lu Zhe picked up a leaf: "Many plants ooze white sap when damaged, some of which contain toxins! Sweet potatoes also do, their tubers, leaves and stems all contain a lot of white sap, but its white sap is not only non-toxic, but also contains a lot of vitamins, and can even treat constipation!"
Hearing the word "constipation", Lin Qianqian blushed and exclaimed "Ah?"
Lu Zhe put a sweet potato leaf in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, then handed another leaf to Lin Qianqian: "What do you think, want to try one?"
Lin Qianqian hesitated for a moment, took it and put it in her mouth to eat a small bite.
"Not very tasty..."
"We don't have any seasoning, if we did, sweet potato leaf salad would make a nice cold dish!"
"Oh!" Lin Qianqian hurriedly took note of it!
Although they still hadn't found a water source this time, this sweet potato vine was an extremely precious find!
In the Ming Dynasty, it was because someone smuggled a sweet potato vine back from Southeast Asia that saved tens of thousands of people.
The harvest was quite good!
Lu Zhe looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, if they didn't head back to camp soon it would be dark!
So he took Lin Qianqian and hurried back.
At half past five, the two returned to the camp!
Tang Xiaoguo and Jiang Yao were still twisting ropes and distilling fresh water, but Ning Shu was not in the camp!
"Where did the monitor go again?"
Jiang Yao shrugged: "Not very clear, she went into the woods many times today!"
Tang Xiaoguo added: "She wouldn't say when we asked her!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Lin Qianqian, organize the supplies, I'll go take a look!"
"Okay!"
Lu Zhe split a coconut, crushed houttuynia cordata and mint leaves, mixed them with coconut juice to make an herbal medicine to soothe itching and inflammation, and went to help relieve Ning Shu's itching!
Going around the woods, he did see Ning Shu there scratching away!
Although she looked very messy, when she saw Lu Zhe come, she immediately adjusted to look like a proper lady, frowning: "Hey, you should say something before just showing up!"
"Alright, next time I'll blow a whistle."
"Forget the whistle, what did you come here for?"
"To see you!"
Ning Shu was unhappy that her embarrassing state was seen: "You just like seeing me make a fool of myself?"
"Don't say that, I came to help you!"
"Help me?" Ning Shu immediately imagined Lu Zhe scratching her for her.
Blushing, she muttered: "Pervert!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Well if that's the case, then I won't help you, bye..."
With that, he turned to leave!
"Hey..." Ning Shu stamped her feet in annoyance: "Come back!"
"What is it?"
Ning Shu sighed, after all the feeling of someone else scratching versus scratching herself was a bit different!
The two had agreed to be a couple for a day, it wasn't yet 24 hours, so theoretically they were still a couple!
Since that was the case...
"Fine fine, I'll let you scratch me a bit..."
Saying so, she draped herself over a low tree branch, posing to be scratched!
Lu Zhe holding the herbal medicine, was somewhat confused for a moment.
When did I say I would scratch her???
Lu Zhe helplessly said: "I came to bring you medicine, not to scratch you!"
The other girls also popped their heads out: "Monitor what are you doing??"
"What medicine is this?"
Ning Shu cried out in frustration: "Everyone, let's not speak of this anymore, today has just been a huge misunderstanding, if I wasn't so careless to randomly grab a leaf to use as toilet paper, this wouldn't have happened!"
Lin Qianqian nodded: "So it was the monitor who did that..."
Jiang Yao said: "That's so unhygienic!"
Lu Zhe sighed: "Today has really just been a misunderstanding! But I still want to remind everyone, never use leaves in the wild as toilet paper!"
Lin Qianqian worriedly asked: "But we're almost out of toilet paper, what else can we use after it runs out?"
She was right, looking at the toilet paper, there were only a dozen or so sheets left. If they ran out, they would be faced with the awkward situation of having no paper to use!
For the girls, this was probably more frightening than not having fresh water!
