The Tight Embrace of the End Times

The diameter of the entire honeycomb is about half a meter, and nearly 30 catties of honey were taken out.Carefully put it in a bottle, everyone dipped a little, and put it in their mouths to taste carefully. The sweet and fragrant taste is really different from the ones bought in the mall before.

Bee pupae are more difficult to handle, and you have to pick them out one by one. In view of the limited materials, Gu Leng simply fried them with salt.

After eating, Gu Leng said to everyone: "On the way back, I saw a lot of yam leaves. There may be yams in the ground. Who wants to go and see with me?"

Gu Hai immediately raised his hand, Xiao Qiao said: "How about this, Xiao Leng and Gu Hai, I'll go and have a look first, make sure it's yam, and then we'll dig together."

At the destination, Gu Leng pointed to a plant and said, "Look at this, I've seen it before, it's the leaves of a yam plant, let me pull it out and try it out."

So, Gu Leng grabbed the trunk with both hands like pulling a radish, pulled it out with force, and pulled out a cylindrical rhizome nearly half a meter long. Isn't it a yam? !

A few people were overjoyed, this is food, and it is tens of meters around!Think about it, digging up all these yams, what a huge amount of food, and you don't have to worry about food this whole summer.

Gu Hai shouted: "Brother Leng, let's go back and tell the others."

Gu Leng: "Let's go, share the good news with them."

Gu Leng pulled Xiao Qiao and smiled.

Gu Hai ran ahead, he said loudly: "It's yam, it's a big piece of yam, haha~, haha~."

Everyone was very excited, this time it can be said to be quite rewarding.

But looking at the chestnut balls in front of him like a hill, and thinking of the yams that Gu Hai just mentioned about ten meters in radius, Wang Shuo said: "It seems that we can't collect all the chestnuts and yams in one day, so, I suggest, stay here for a day, how about we set off tomorrow night?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Everyone collectively decided to peel the chestnut balls first, and then collectively go to pull the yams.

From day to night, until late at night, all the people peeled the chestnuts, and they peeled two sacks of chestnuts in total. It was late at night, and everyone was sleepy. They cleaned up an open space and took turns on duty. The rest of the people fell asleep one after another. .

The next day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and everyone woke up rubbing their sleepy eyes. Although they slept on the mountain, this was the first deep and satisfying sleep this summer.

After waking up, Gu Leng steamed a pot of yam for breakfast.

All day today, everyone squatted there to pull yams. Some yams had many roots and needed to dig up the surrounding soil a little bit, but no one felt that it was hard work, and no one felt that the harvest was hard.

In the end, a total of five sacks of yams were packed, and all the collected pears, chestnuts, and yams were put on the big truck. After putting them away properly, the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the sky.

It's time to go again.

Under the hazy moonlight, there are indistinct houses, desolate fields, numb hearts, and the night cannot hide.

The car moved forward indomitably, and different colors began to appear in the field of vision.It is no longer loess and dead wood, but some green trees are seen from time to time.The faces of the people I ran into by chance were not so sad or numb. Gu Leng accidentally saw a tanned old woman holding a child who was also tanned. immature.

The further you drive, the more people you meet, usually in groups of three or four. Gu Leng thought that he would encounter a lot of trouble. After all, there are only eight of them. It's really hard to clean up.

One night, Gu Leng's car was stopped by dozens of people, and they used a rather unfriendly way to stop them with a big tree in the middle of the road.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao got out of the car, asked Gu Hai and Yuan Yushu to park in the car, locked the windows and did not come out.

Wang Shuo also got out of the car, and Nian Xia also stayed in the car. Over there, Li Chen jumped off the big truck and slammed the door. The four of them stood together, looking like that group of people.

A young man wearing a white shirt, trousers, and carefully combed hair stood up and said: "Guys, we don't have any malicious intentions, but if you don't use this method, you will definitely drive over directly. We just want to talk to you guys." Make a deal."

As the eldest brother, Wang Shuo took a step forward and said, "A deal? What kind of deal? So many of you got together and even stopped our car. I don't see the sincerity of the deal."

The man sneered and said, "No, is there no way? We really want to make a deal, but we have to ensure our own safety."

"Hmph, then our safety can't be guaranteed."

"We don't do things like robbing houses, and buying and selling are not righteous. I see that your truck is full, and there must be something. In this way, I will tell you what we need. You can see if there is any, and you can tell it too. Let’s see if we want to exchange the things you need? If there’s nothing to exchange, I’ll ask someone to move the big tree away and let you pass.”

"Then tell me what you want to exchange?"

"We need daily necessities such as clothes, food, salt and oil."

"We don't have the things you said. These things are scarce now. If we really have them, we won't risk going out to find a way to survive. Then what can you exchange?"

"We opened up the skylight to say the truth, we can exchange some lotus roots, this is our sincerity."

Among the group of people, a boy who looked like a dried loach jumped out and said, "What my brother said is true. We have many ponds here, all of which are planted with lotus roots."

The man said: "Indeed, just like what Little Loach said, we have no shortage of food, but we can only eat lotus root, so we want to make a deal, a sincere deal."

Wang Shuo pondered for a while and said, "We need to discuss it."

He said and walked aside with a few people.

Wang Shuo said, "What do you think?"

Xiao Qiao said: "I think what they said is true. Before reaching a dead end, people will want to maintain modern civilization, not to mention they have the elderly and children with them."

Indeed, there are quite a few old people and children in it.

Gu Leng said: "I also think they are telling the truth, we can trade some yams."

Li Chen didn't say a word.

Wang Shuo pondered for a while, and said, "I think so too, so I'll go talk to him about the deal."

The deal was quickly settled. Wang Shuo exchanged two sacks of yams for a sack of fresh lotus root and half a sack of lotus root powder.

The car continued to move forward, and the further it went, it seemed that the people there lived a better life.

Gu Leng even found a wild wild boar by the side of the road. Just as he wanted Xiao Qiao to stop the car, when he caught the wild boar, there was a "bang", the boar's head was shot, its huge body struggled forward a few steps, and fell down. .

Gu Leng blacked out, Li Chen moved very fast.

The sun was about to come out, and this place happened to be in the shade, and everyone stayed here to rest.

Hey, there are hundreds of catties of wild boars. Many people haven’t eaten pork for a long time. After the end of the world, who will raise such large livestock as pigs? I stewed two hooves and put a few diced lotus roots on it. , a pot full, the corners of the mouth are dripping with oil.

The remaining boar pork was wiped with the little salt that was brought, and dried in the hot sun, so there was no need to worry that the temperature would deteriorate if the temperature was too high.

Gu Leng chatted with Xiao Qiao: "Even wild boars have come out. We came all the way, and I found that there are many ponds and wells here. Is it because there is no shortage of water, so the people living here are doing well?"

Xiao Qiao said: "It should be like this, the terrain here is really unique."

Uncle Wu interjected next to him and said, "We are getting closer and closer to Chunshui Town. Chunshui Town, you hear its name, water, which means there are many ponds and wells. Spring, it is a famous hot spring town. ah."

A group of people realized that there are hot springs, and they can grow vegetables and food in winter. If there is a lot of water, there is no shortage of water in summer. No wonder, people here live better than other places.

Spring Water Town is almost here.
