Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa

Chapter 25: It’s embarrassing to compete with children for food

It is true that we need to make early plans to build a house, but it is too reluctant under the current conditions, and we still need to accumulate some savings.

Even though they have more than a thousand kilograms of rice in the wild hunting team, it is like depositing money in a bank and collecting interest regularly. How can you take it out before the time is up?

What's more, once they have the strength to build a house, they will be noticed by the people around them, so Lin Xiao's plan is to save some food and hire people from the wild hunting team to be supervisors when they build houses, so as to protect them, a weak group. There were people from the wild hunting team, so they didn't dare to cause trouble.

The wild hunting team will launch a quarterly wild hunting activity in a week, leading people from the slums to participate and protect their safety for three days.

So Lin Xiao planned to build a house in a month.

And he wanted to sign up for the wild hunting event in a week.

This is an activity specially set up by the government to relieve the people in the slums. It is said to be a wild hunt, but in fact the people who participate in the slums have no fighting ability at all and can only collect food within the protection area of ​​the wild hunting team.

The wild hunting team will be responsible for team operations, hunt down bison and distribute them to the poor people who go with them.

In every event, the poor people get good harvests, and half of the food for many families comes from this.

But not everyone can go. In order not to increase the burden on the wild hunting team, only people between the ages of fifteen and fifty are allowed to participate. Moreover, there are risks in going there. If you encounter a mutant beast, you will be killed by the beast. Death, the Wild Hunting Team is not responsible.

"You will stay home next week..."

Lin Xiao could see that Jiang Yuan was quite timid and feared that she would not dare to go far away.

If she leaves, don't worry about her going out to find food. There is no shortage of food at the moment, and there is no need to take risks.

"How's that going? I'll go with you. Didn't you say we're all going back and forth on the same day? People like me go out for food. Then I will follow the big group closely and never run around. And Aren't you by my side? I'll go with you. Two people can always find more food than one person, and...am I lucky? What if I can dig out rough stones again this time..."

"Even if I dig it up, you won't be able to bring it back."

There are so many people watching. If you really want to find out, those people must not be crazy?

"Just let me go with you. Have you forgotten that I have a weapon for self-defense now?"

Jiang Yuan patted her pistol. With it, she felt confident.

Lin Xiao thought for a while.

Finally agreed.

Because in the past wild hunting, as long as you followed the command, there was no danger.

"It's just that I have a condition. Before setting off, you must learn to shoot."

Whether it's accurate or not is another matter.

"I swear, I can."

After all, she has read the instruction manual, can she still operate it? And what about Lin Xiao teaching her?

Lin Xiao carefully explained the assembly and usage details to her, and she listened attentively.

If she found the opportunity, she wanted to try it.

The sky was slightly bright, and the family of four had breakfast and went to the exchange.

Jiang Yuan had nearly sixty pieces of pig liver grass in her hand, and she wanted to exchange them for some food.

It was rare to go out, so of course I took Lin Ran and Lin Qian with me.

There are quite a lot of people in the Chinese medicinal materials area of ​​the exchange.

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that so many people could find Chinese medicinal materials in the mountains, but when she turned around and thought about it, she felt that she was making a fuss.

Everyone has the secret to survival, so you can’t just say she can do it, right? And when it comes to Chinese medicinal materials, she is still half-experienced.

About five or six people lined up, and Jiang Yuan followed them obediently.

Lin Xiao took the two children and waited aside.

The exchange process was also very smooth.

Although the number of more than fifty pieces of pig liver grass is considerable, it is not a rare species. It is just ahead of her. Jiang Yuan also saw someone digging up black Ganoderma lucidum as big as their face. When the staff saw it, it was piled high. smile.

However, the points redeemed by each person are also confidential and automatically stored in the identity card.

When we finally arrived at Jiang Yuan, she brought the grass she dug to her. The staff looked cold and distant, but they didn't say anything bad. In short, they were like a robot working without warmth.

She didn't mind this either.

"Fifty-eight green pig liver grass can be exchanged for twenty-nine points. If you want food, you can refer to the points table provided on the screen."

Most of the people who come to the slums exchange things for things, but there is also a points system. If you don't want the food in the exchange area, you will be given points, and you can buy other things with the points.

But most of the people who come to the slums come in exchange for food, which is convenient and simple.

Especially for someone like her whose value is not high, there is no need to exchange it for points.

So Jiang Yuan looked at what was on the screen and immediately changed all twenty-nine points.

Finally, I took eight fruit candies, one about the size of an egg, two pounds of coarse salt, and ten pounds of flour.

On the one hand, Jiang Yuan resented that there were too few types of food that could be exchanged, and on the other hand, she felt that she was so poor and had so little food in her hands.

But there is sugar, right?

There are eight pills in total, two for each person.

The two children were very happy, but when Lin Xiao saw the candy, he felt helpless and didn't want to take it.

"Take it, if we are hungry and faint when we go out, this thing is very caloric."

She stuffed it directly into his pocket without any explanation.

The reason for exchanging candies is firstly because she is greedy, and secondly because it is practical, right?

Lin Xiao said nothing more.

But the two children, Lin Ran and Lin Qian, looked at each other silently, and finally took out one candy from their hands and stuffed it into their hands respectively.

"My second brother and I stay at home every day, so we won't go hungry. My brother and sister-in-law work so hard, so you should eat more."

What child doesn’t love candy? The allure of candy to children is unimaginable.

But they actually gave it up?

Jiang Yuan looked at the candy in her hand, blushed, and was about to return it.

"Take it, we'll find some supplies to exchange later."

Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up, and this time it was him who pushed the candy into her hand.

Jiang Yuan's face turned even redder.

I am no longer a child, but it seems that it is her who I have always been craving for.

"When I find something good, I will give you endless candies in exchange."

Then she vowed.

The two children were very amused.

Then he collected all the candies very carefully. Who would be willing to eat such a good thing in one go?

Of course, take it back and break it into small pieces at a time and eat it slowly.

After changing things, Lin Xiao carried them on his back, and since it was still early, they didn't have a heavy burden today, so they just wandered around.

Although Jiang Yuan had gone shopping once, she still wanted to look around and study the value of these supplies. Most of the items that appeared in the exchange were food, including some scarce condiments. Her next goal was to prepare all the condiments. , I can eat it with different tastes in the future.

I just didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance.
