The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Tian knew she was prone to motion sickness.

When the roads in the city are smooth and not bumpy, the symptoms are not very obvious and do not affect daily travel.

But when walking on mountain roads, she would vomit until she felt extremely nauseous.

When I went to the military camp with my dad back then, I threw up all over him and was disliked for a long time.

So Li Tian hadn't eaten much since morning, and she also asked Old Shen for advice on how to deal with motion sickness.

With an empty stomach, even if you feel dizzy from being shaken, you'll only vomit some acidic fluid at most.

It won't be to the point of vomiting to the point of being unmanageable and disgusting to oneself.

Old Shen asked for a piece of ginger from the guesthouse kitchen, sliced ​​it, and gave each person two slices.

Ginger can refresh the mind and stimulate alertness, thus relieving motion sickness symptoms.

Mr. Shen then taught them how to press ear acupoints, which can also effectively prevent and treat motion sickness and vomiting.

Having done everything she could, Li Tian also asked for a window seat.

We have done everything we could.

The rest is up to fate.

The old highway from the 1980s, even God couldn't fill in so many potholes.

You can avoid the big pit, but you can't avoid the small one.

The old bus bounced up and down and swayed from side to side erratically.

The people on the bus swayed and bounced along with it.

They had only gone halfway when Li Tian rolled down the car window and dry heaved several times.

Li Muchen, who was standing next to her, was afraid that she would be hit, so he had to protect her head with one hand and hold her arm with the other.

Fortunately, by the second half, he had vomited everything he could and was completely dizzy from being shaken around.

Li Tian had actually fallen asleep.

Only after seeing that Li Tian was asleep did Li Muchen close his eyes with peace of mind.

In this kind of road condition, the only slightly comfortable thing is to fall asleep.

The others also felt uncomfortable from being shaken, but none of them were as badly affected as Li Tian.

Mr. Shen could even chat with the fellow villagers on the bus.

No matter how much the car swayed, at least it didn't break down on the road and arrived at its destination safely.

It was already late afternoon when we arrived at our destination.

Li Tian, ​​who was so shaken that she was dizzy and unsteady on her feet after getting off the bus, could not walk in a straight line.

Liu Wei took her backpack.

Li Muchen and Shen Yi supported her on both arms.

The group headed straight for the guesthouse.

Li Tian didn't think at all during the whole process; she drank a few sips of warm water and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

This is because the people around you are reliable; otherwise, in this situation, you would be powerless to resist being betrayed.

Fortunately, after a good night's sleep, Li Tian was fully recovered.

I also had a very authentic Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles breakfast this morning.

Lay the quail eggs first, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.

Blanch fresh meat slices (pork tenderloin, fish, chicken) twice for good luck.

Three kinds of cooked food (fried pork skin, crispy pork, and ham).

Then add vegetables (pea shoots, bean sprouts, tofu skin, and grass sprouts).

Finally, add the rice noodles, stir well, and enjoy!

Liu Wei ordered two more bowls of rice noodles.

The boys each had another bowl.

Li Tian really liked the local specialty, grass sprouts, and ordered another serving.

Mr. Shen pays attention to health preservation. Because of his advanced age, even when he is about to travel far, he will not eat until he is completely full.

After checking out of the room, I bought some rice, salt, cured meat, and rice cakes on the street, and didn't wander around anymore.

Following the predetermined route, the group left the city.

Yesterday, when I came here by car, the whole way was through valleys, and the valleys were filled with mixed shrubs.

And this is the edge of an endless forest.

It's neither as dry as a rocky mountain nor as wet as a rainforest, and you can even find wild game.

It was the most comfortable middle section of the whole trip.

Before entering the forest, Li Tian had Liu Wei cut bamboo to make a simple filter.

First, hollow out a half-meter-long bamboo stalk.

Tie a piece of gauze tightly to one end, add a layer of fine sand, and then crushed charcoal. The small particles provide a larger adsorption surface and stronger filtration capacity; charcoal is the main component of the filter.

Place small pebbles on top of the charcoal.

Finally, seal the opening with gauze, which also serves as a preliminary filter.

Water is plentiful in the jungle, but it is also quite dangerous, as it may contain various kinds of natural pollutants.

Since they had already made them, they made several more, just in case.

The forest was incredibly dense, with leaves blocking out the sun, so there was no need to worry about getting sunburned.

The head protection can be removed.

But special attention needs to be paid to the feet.

They were all wearing tall military boots, and they had tucked their trouser legs into the boots.

This can prevent web crawler attacks as much as possible.

In winter, snakes and insects are fewer, but they are not absent.

We must be wary.

The group moved forward rhythmically, not in a hurry, but without forgetting the purpose of their journey.

It is said that in the shady and damp places under the trees, it is easy to find mature cardamom, amomum villosum, and Paris polyphylla.

However, most of these from low-altitude areas have already been harvested.

When he encountered a few minor issues, Old Master Shen would test Shen Yi.

"Amomum villosum has a spicy aroma that can remove fishy smells, increase appetite, and can also be used as a cooking ingredient. Eating some amomum villosum in moderation can prevent diseases and relieve stress, and it has high nutritional value."

I heard that it's edible and has good health benefits.

Li Tian grabbed a few and smelled them first.

It is indeed a spice; the aroma is very rich, with a fresh touch.

Li Tian tried putting one in her mouth.

Spicy, pungent.

Li Tian spat it out.

It's better to use it as a seasoning when cooking meat; I really can't swallow it raw.

After Li Tian's experience, no one else did anything foolish.

There are plenty of things to eat in the forest, and many delicious ones too, so we won't miss out on this one.

After encountering cardamom, they soon came across amomum villosum.

Another seasoning for stewing meat.

However, the cardamom in this season has already withered and looks far less appealing than when it was green and lush in the book. Its appearance is somewhat similar to dried cardamom.

Shen Yi also collected some.

After walking for a while, Shen Yi pointed to a plant with withered stems and leaves and shouted.

"Grandpa, is this Paris polyphylla?"

Old Shen leaned closer to take a look and smell it.

"It's Paris polyphylla. Dig up the roots; they have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain."

Shen Yi responded and bent down to work.

"The Paris polyphylla in the book's pictures is very beautiful, but it's really hard to tell when it's withered."

Li Tian was curious.

"What should a beautiful Paris polyphylla look like?"

"Paris polyphylla has several leaves arranged in a circle, with a straight stem extending outwards. It flowers and bears fruit, and the flower shape resembles a second layer of small leaves. That's probably where the name comes from."

The image of "seven-leaf chrysanthemum" immediately popped into Li Tian's mind.

A holy grail of detoxification in martial arts novels.

Perhaps the Paris polyphylla is the real-world basis for the author's re-creation.

Needless to say, the names of these medicines chosen by the ancients are all very pleasant to hear and quite literary.

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs in the forest, so everyone walks slowly, learning as they go.

I cooked rice cakes and cured meat for lunch.

Old Shen also led the boys to find some shepherd's purse.

Even though it's winter and the temperature is high, you can still find wild grass in the forest.

The meal was very plentiful, with meat, vegetables, and carbohydrates.

After eating, we rested for an hour, and since there was no scorching sun in the forest, we continued on our way.

We need to stop early in the afternoon to find a suitable campsite.
