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

For Jiang Yuan, this is a place where she has no contribution value. Although she likes to eat matsutake, she has no ability to find it. Seeing Lin Xiao walking freely in the forest without being affected at all, she was a little envious.

Then when Lin Xiao pulled out two matsutake mushrooms that were twenty centimeters long and as thick as her wrists right under her nose, her envy turned into jealousy.

She couldn't even see it right in front of her eyes, which made her suspect that either she was blind, or that Lin Xiao had mastered some special ability and didn't tell her.

In short, she was very frustrated by the whole process of finding matsutake.

It was another morning of finding nothing, but Lin Xiao found eight flowers, one of which could eat a meal.

Because the place where the matsutake came out was in a valley, the two of them did not return the same way after searching, so Lin Xiao took her up the opposite hillside.

After these days of training, Jiang Yuan has become very skilled in finding vegetables in the wild.

There are wild vegetables everywhere, but there are very few that can be eaten. But because they are going uphill, they can clearly see the radiation marks of most of the wild vegetables, which saves a lot of time in picking them up.

To their surprise, the hillside they were walking on was full of radishes. The big white radish was very tall. From a distance, it looked like Dabai with green hair.

A carrot is as tall as a man and very fat.

When they found two edible radishes among hundreds of radishes, Jiang Yuan struggled to pick up the smaller one, which weighed at least sixty pounds.

The one in Lin Xiao's hand was estimated to weigh ninety kilograms, a few kilograms heavier than hers.

Radishes are fresh vegetables and she hasn't eaten them yet. It's so delicious to cook meat with these radishes.

And if there are seasonings, it goes well with rice when marinated.

She suddenly wanted to make dried radish.

It just needs more seasonings, which they don't have on hand right now.

She thought for a while and planned to ask Lin Xiao what he thought from the side.

"Have you... ever eaten dried radish? It's made with chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves..."

She told me all the recipes in one breath.

"Let's find a place to hide from the sun first. Then we can go directly over the hill here and reach the exchange. You can exchange your carrot for the seasoning you need."

Lin Xiao instantly understood what she meant.

I have to say that Jiang Yuan is very particular about what she eats.

Ordinary people who find such a big radish just want to cook it and eat it for a long time, and are not willing to put in the effort to make it into a delicious dish.

After all, gourmet food consumes many types of ingredients.

But instead of eating boiled radish all day long, Lin Xiao also wanted to try the dried radish she mentioned.

Jiang Yuan nodded and added, "There is no need to exchange food for condiments frequently. When Brother Zhang's son comes out of the safe area during the holidays and brings the seeds I need, we can plant them ourselves."

Being able to grow vegetables and fruits is confidence. Jiang Yuan feels that they will never run out of food.

So in the afternoon, the two of them carried two huge radishes on their backs, as if they were carrying dolls, and went to the exchange.

It's impossible to hide such a big radish, and they still have one each. But luckily it's hunting season, and many people won't come to the exchange, so the only people who see them carrying radishes are twos and threes, people they don't know.

On the other hand, the people at the exchange saw their carrots and wanted to take them both, especially the one that weighed a hundred pounds.

"Sorry, we only change it to the smaller one."

Jiang Yuan wanted to make dried radish, but even if the staff said they could give them two more kilograms of rice, she wouldn't be moved.

Then the sixty kilograms of radishes were replaced with five kilograms of chili noodles, two packets of star anise leaves and other seasonings, adding up to one kilogram, and ten kilograms of flour.

She would like to exchange some eggs. Chickens are raised in the safe zone to lay eggs, and the eggs are twice as big as normal ones, but the value is too high. If she exchanges all sixty pounds of radishes, she can only get six eggs, which is too luxurious.

It was too ostentatious today, so the two of them left immediately after changing their things, never lingering.

But how is it possible to get lucky every time? Being robbed seems to happen sooner or later.

After walking two kilometers from the exchange.

Lin Xiao suddenly pulled her and walked forward quickly, as if something was chasing after her.

Jiang Yuan's heart was frightened to the point of beating wildly.

Although he didn't say it, she guessed it.

Sure enough, if you go out and wander around, you will have to experience it sooner or later.

It's good that she's here, so she can test her own strength.

She is armed now, who is she afraid of?

After running for less than five minutes, the people behind them couldn't stand it anymore and immediately started to catch up without fear of being exposed.

After a while, the two of them were surrounded. It wasn't that they didn't run fast enough, but that these people actually rode an old tricycle to catch up.

The broken car made a clanging sound, as if it was about to fall apart at any moment, but it was extremely fast and flew in front of them in the blink of an eye, blocking the way.

The people following behind also ran over quickly.

"Brother Yong, it's them, they have carrots and noodles."

A thin, small, monkey-like man ran out of breath, holding a rusty short knife in his hand.

In front of them, four men got out of the car. They were all tall and strong, with sallow skin and exaggerated muscles on their bare arms. They were like miniature versions of Sun Hao.

Looking at that ferocious look, he is not easy to mess with.

After the little man finished speaking, several people began to look at them.

"Keep all the food and I will let you go, otherwise...I will beat you all over the ground."

The most powerful man threatened.

From what the little man was called just now, he should be Brother Yong.

Robbery, robbery, robbery.

Jiang Yuan shouted in her heart. She couldn't tell whether she was excited or nervous. Hiding behind Lin Xiao, she had silently touched the gun at her waist, ready to try her shooting skills at any time.

But killing is punishable, and you cannot aim at fatal places.

This is also the reason for violent beatings in response to threats. As long as they kill someone, this way of making money will be cut off in the future.

But even if killing is not allowed, as long as they beat the person until he is disabled and unable to take care of himself, it is not much different from killing. The poor who have lost their labor force will be worse off than death, and they may even starve to death or die of pain.

Therefore, every time the robbers block the road and rob, they will get a good harvest.

"Aren't you looking for food during these two days of wild hunting?"

Lin Xiao was very calm, protecting Jiang Yuan behind him, and asked doubtfully.

"Humph, you want me to take care of me? Whether I go or not is none of your business. Stop being so wordy and quickly hand over all the food, and I'll let you go."

As he said that, the man named Brother Yong took out a woodcutter and waited for Lin Xiao with a fierce look.

Seeing this, other people also took out their weapons and stepped forward to narrow the encirclement.

"We found this after a lot of hard work and it is impossible to give it to you."

It seems that he is a habitual offender.

Lin Xiao looked at these people indifferently.

I heard that being robbed happened often, but this was indeed his first time.
