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

Half past two in the afternoon.

Jiang Yuan was woken up by the alarm.

The sunshine was so warm that she felt very hot even when she was hiding in the house, but the heat was secondary. It was uncomfortable to feel the stinging when exposed to the sun.

And whether it was an illusion or not, Jiang Yuan felt that compared to five hundred years ago, the sun now had a hint of purple-red, and even the sun became more coquettish.

Lin Xiao seemed to have gone out for a trip and came back carrying a lot of dried weeds.

The two little guys were responsible for making the bed with weeds at home. They had enough rest and went out at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was still very warm at this time, and Jiang Yuan still felt very uncomfortable no matter how tightly she covered her face.

There were still a lot of people going out, but now everyone was walking very slowly, unlike in the morning as if they were going to a market.

After traveling for about an hour, they had gone deep into the jungle, and with the help of the shadow of the big trees, it was still shady.

Jiang Yuan also took off her mask and took two deep breaths.

She was so tired that her bones were about to fall apart.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao, who was about to continue moving forward, slowed down and stopped under a large tree with enough room for three people.

"You take a rest for a while, and I'll go see if there's anything to eat nearby."

They had gone far enough that they didn't see other poor people traveling together, and there were no footprints nearby, so no one should have walked there, so the chance of finding food was higher.

Jiang Yuan's legs were trembling, and she leaned against the big tree. After five or six minutes of recovery, she finally came back to life.

Then she looked around curiously.

It has to be said that these mutated plants are very awesome. The weeds on the bare ground grow as thick as fingers, and the height directly submerges the knees.

She seemed to be in a world where everything was magnified, and only humans were the smallest.

Since she was idle anyway, she pulled at the weeds around her butt and looked at the branches and leaves that could be reached by raising her hand.

It turned out to be really bad luck. The branches of the towering tree in front of me were actually green-level, and the radiation was relatively low.

She didn't mind the weeds, so she put them all in her pocket. Even if she couldn't eat them, she could just take them back and make tea.

As for the big tree in front of her, she didn't know what kind it was, but its leaves were just like aloe vera, big, plump, and juicy.

In line with the principle that low-radiation food can be eaten, she climbed up the big tree with all her strength. Maybe she was happy to see the food, but she didn't feel it was strenuous.

There must be high radiation where the sun touches it, so she tried to hide in the shade and started looking for edible leaves.

Who would have thought that she would be so lucky that she could eat everything on a branch. By the time she finished picking, it would weigh five kilograms.

Get rich, get rich.

Jiang Yuan looked at the big tree with stars in her eyes.

"Jiang Yuan?"

But when Lin Xiao walked around the area, he found that there was no one under the big tree, so he quickly turned back.

When she heard the sound, Jiang Yuan stood on the big tree and looked at Lin Xiao's black head.

"I am here."

She waved her arms, then got down from the tree and showed Lin Xiao the leaves she picked.

"I don't know this. Can I eat it?"

If she couldn't eat it, she would cry to death.

Lin Xiao's expression was a little surprised, and then he slowly raised his head and looked at the leaves of the big tree.

"This is a mutated mulberry tree. Of course it can be eaten, and there are quite a lot of it."

Who would have thought that such a tall tree could grow edible leaves.

You must know that the longer you live, the more serious you will be radiated. Generally, the mulberry trees that can be eaten are the young seedlings that grew in that year.

Immediately after he handed everything in his backpack to Jiang Yuan, he climbed up the tree with the empty bag on his back and began to collect edible mulberry leaves.

The mutated mulberry leaves are tender and juicy. Although they have a slight bitter taste, as long as they are edible, no one will dislike them.

Under the tree, Jiang Yuan was not idle and started searching nearby.

But how could it be possible for her to take advantage of everything in the world? There is nothing to eat nearby.

After picking for a full hour, Lin Xiao came down from the tree.

The backpack is already full, about twenty kilograms. Adding in Jiang Yuan's bag, it means they have twenty-five kilograms of food in storage.

This is a huge sum of money.

Even though it was all leaves, Jiang Yuan no longer disliked it after seeing the harsh living conditions here.

And if she wants to eat meat and pasta, shouldn’t she work hard to find food and exchange it for delicious food later?

"Let's chill the mulberry leaves tonight. Don't cook the vegetables."

Jiang Yuan carried her bag contentedly and made a small suggestion.

But as soon as I finished mentioning it, I was speechless.

Cold salad is nothing, their family is very poor, they don’t even have oil, salt, or seasonings, so what should be served coldly? Could it be that after boiling it, let it cool, stir it and then eat it?

For a moment, she didn't want to talk anymore.

"Let's go back."

Lin Xiao said nothing about this.

Just carrying the mulberry leaves on my back and leading the way.

It was not yet six o'clock, but they had a good harvest today and should go back.

It's not safe in the forest at night.

Although Jiang Yuan was depressed because she couldn't eat delicious food, she didn't slow down her progress. The two of them hurried back along the remote road.

After all, more than 20 kilograms of mulberry leaves are easy to attract attention. It would not be a good thing if someone noticed you.

But soon, Lin Xiao gave her a big surprise.

The night's cold mulberry leaves came true. Although there was no condiment, just a little salt and soy sauce, but at least it tasted good.

"how did you do it?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes turned into stars, and Lin Xiao was her god at this moment.

"My brother took five pounds of mulberry leaves and exchanged them with the cow next door for two hundred grams of salt and five milliliters of soy sauce."

Lin Qiao also ate happily and explained with narrowed eyes.

"I can't even eat food, and I'm still so picky about food."

Lin Ran, on the other hand, was extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of exchanging two days' worth of food for the dispensable salt and soy sauce, so he couldn't help but glare at Jiang Yuan.

"Mulberry leaf was discovered by Jiang Yuan. Without her, we wouldn't be able to eat delicious food today."

But when Lin Xiao said this, Lin Ran didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, food with flavor is really delicious.

Just a plate of cold mulberry leaves and half a nutritious needle stirred into the porridge, they all ate deliciously.

Jiang Yuan felt more and more that she had met a good person.

Lin Xiao's character would have been pretty good five hundred years ago.

He doesn't talk much and has a calm personality. Although he seems cold, he is actually considerate and gentle.

Her unreasonable request was complied with without any hesitation.

But Jiang Yuan felt distressed when she thought that the five kilograms of mulberry leaves she picked had to be replaced with just a little bit of seasoning.

From now on, it will be enough to improve the food occasionally, but we cannot afford this luxury every day.

Probably even she herself didn't expect that she would get into the role so quickly.

After dinner, before it was completely dark, Lin Xiao went out again.

Jiang Yuan led her two little ones to stay at home. After all, they now had a few grains, and they were still afraid of being noticed.

But Lin Xiao came back quickly and came back again with a lot of dry grass.
