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

At night, under the moonlight, he began to weave a straw mat. His movements were very fast. At first, Jiang Yuan wanted to steal his craftsmanship, but later she found that she could not keep up and had no rules, so she gave up completely.

Turning around, she saw the water tank that was almost empty. She was carrying two buckets and was about to go out to fetch water.

The water supply in the slums is not in short supply because the government provides water purification chemicals, so there is no competition for water resources.

Lin Xiao didn't stop her either. If she went out and was bullied, she would be heard if she shouted.

But how could she actually fetch water? After walking to a deserted corner and secretly taking out the spring water from the space, he happily walked back.

It took three trips in a row to fill up the water tank for drinking, and also water the shepherd's purse she had planted.

Lin Xiao watched her messing around, but he didn't have any objections. He reluctantly woven a straw mat in one night, then hung a rattan in the middle and put the straw mat on it, thus separating the two beds.

In fact, most people in the slums live in mixed-gender housing and don't care about this.

But Lin Xiao finally came out of the safe zone. The living conditions there were much better than those in the slums. He had been very polite since he was a child, so he couldn't take advantage of other girls for no reason now.

Although he didn't treat the silly Jiang Yuan as a girl.

However, when Jiang Yuan saw the appearance of the straw mat, she felt a little more relieved for Lin Xiao.

In the evening, the family boiled a pot of water to drink.

"Why is this water sweet?"

After taking a sip, Lin Qian was stunned and looked at Lin Xiao with a pair of innocent eyes.

Then several people took a few sips one after another, and they were all stunned.

It is indeed sweet, simply sweet and refreshing. Drinking it gives you an indescribable pleasure.

"Brother, why does this water taste better than what we had in the safe zone? Isn't this pure mountain spring water? The kind that has not been polluted?"

Lin Ran was also stunned and drank another glass and then refilled it.

"How is that possible? The kind of water you mentioned can only be purchased by government officials and nobles with points, and the purchase is restricted. Even those nobles cannot drink pure mountain spring water every day. But brother, this water is really delicious, sister-in-law. Did you add something?"

After saying that, Lin Xiao also looked at Jiang Yuan with doubtful eyes.

"No, is it different from usual?"

Is this too much of a reaction?

Jiang Yuan felt a little guilty and was afraid of being discovered, but as long as she didn't say anything about the space, who would know?

What's more, it's just taste, and it's not ironclad evidence.

"Is it because we ate salt tonight?"

Jiang Yuan grinned heartlessly.

"Maybe."

Although Lin Xiao found it strange, he would naturally not doubt people whose minds were different from theirs.

However, this water is very good, and it can even make him feel that the long-empty feeling in his body has improved a little bit, and it seems to be starting to have life.

Then, the three people of the Lin family protected the tank of water brought back tonight, and they were reluctant to waste a drop.

I'm afraid that after drinking this tank, there will be no more.

At night, wash up and go to bed.

There is not enough food, so they can only repeat the work of looking for food day after day.

The two of them still go out together.

Originally, Lin Xiao asked her to stay at home and rest for half a day, but how could someone who couldn't afford to eat dare to be lazy?

She gritted her teeth and followed Lin Xiao into the forest again.

This time we changed the direction, instead of going to the vegetable field, we went downhill, as if we were going to the mountain col.

And the path they take is no secret. There are always others nearby who have the same goal as them.

Jiang Yuan didn't ask too much. After all, time in the morning was very precious. Everyone was racing against the sun and walked in a hurry.

After a while, we finally arrived at a small mountain col. The place was relatively dark and humid. Many pine trees only reached to the chest. Compared with the enlarged versions of the mutant plants above, these pine trees looked very normal.

Thinking of the terrain here, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but wonder whether it was because the mountain col was exposed to less sunlight, so there wasn't so much radiation here.

Then can’t we eat all the food we find here?

But before Jiang Yuan had time to be surprised, all she could see were pine trees.

Squirrels can't eat them at all, even if they look normal.

But the people around seemed very happy, and no one said anything. They immediately bent down and got into the jungle. After a while, no one could be seen.

Lin Xiao looked up and saw the silly Jiang Yuan, so he pulled her down and squatted down.

The yellow pine leaves under the ground of a pine tree were all rotten. Lin Xiao used a mini version of an iron rake to pull apart the pine leaves. Inside, there were many white cotton-like things attached to the black pine leaves. Then she looked through the middle. I arrived at the little mushrooms that had not yet opened.

"I've seen it before. This is... matsutake, right?"

When Jiang Yuan was watching videos five hundred years ago, she saw people from Province Y using small rakes to dig up the soil, and then finding various small mushrooms from the soil.

Matsutake mushrooms are the best among wild mushrooms. They are very delicious and can be eaten raw, stewed with chicken, or grilled. There are many ways to eat them, and the tastes are different.

Five hundred years ago it was not easy to eat matsutake mushrooms, but I never expected that they would actually grow in this era of high radiation when there was not much food.

And it was very thick, at least as thick as her wrist. The head hadn't been fully opened yet, like... Jiang Yuan glanced at Lin Xiao.

I really don't blame her, she swore that she didn't have any dirty thoughts at all, she was just thinking about food.

"Well, look around. If you're lucky, we can add some food tonight."

Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to her eyes. Even if he did, he couldn't understand what a person with a different mind from theirs was thinking.

He just dug out the whole matsutake, which was a full thirty centimeters long. The one he got was already very fragrant when used to make soup.

Jiang Yuan's mouth watered with greed. Because she still wanted to bake it and eat it, she just lay down on the ground and crawled forward. She would never let go under any pine tree.

But she soon realized that this thing was not that easy to find. She dug for half an hour, but she couldn't see any hair, and her whole body was dirty.

Every time, the blow always comes so quickly.

Jiang Yuan's enthusiasm was extinguished by reality, and she was indescribably depressed.

But she did find many places with a lot of white hairs. Maybe there are hyphae in them and they will grow out later?

If you can't find matsutake, then take the mycelium back. What if she accidentally grows it?

She went ahead and filled her bag immediately.

If you can’t find matsutake mushrooms, don’t you just have to take the soil back with you?

When Lin Xiao turned around, what he saw was her sexy moves.

Emotionally, she hasn't found any food and is thinking about going back to planting it?

Just... quite speechless.

Lin Xiao looked calm and pretended not to see it.

Then he took her to other places. Apparently he was very familiar with this area and was good at digging matsutake mushrooms.
