Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong heard him say this for the first time since she knew Kong Zhi, she looked at him sideways, and was stunned for a moment.

Kong Zhi turned his head to meet his gaze.

Xia Lunong turned her head back and coughed lightly in a disguised way.

Kong Zhi continued to walk forward with him.

The two walked tens of meters in the grass with one foot deep and the other shallow, and finally reached the vicinity of the bamboo forest.

The bamboo outside and the bamboo in the base are not the same species.

The surface of the bamboo in the base is very smooth, and it grows thick and straight. The outer bamboo shell is covered with fine hairs. The bamboo branches are very short, and the branches protrude horizontally. If you are not careful, you will poke people's head and face.

The two of them lowered their heads and stooped into the bamboo forest. Xia Lunong rolled his eyes around and quickly found the target, "I saw the bamboo shoots."

Kong Zhi also saw it, and said to him: "Be careful."

Xia Lunong nodded, looked at him again, and volunteered: "I'll dig in there, you stay here."

The bamboo grove is full of branches and weeds, for Kong Zhi, who is so big and tall, probably won't even have room to move when he gets in.

Xia Lunong thought about it again, this was not something to be happy about, and felt a little depressed.

Kong Zhi watched him go in with a hoe, and reminded him from behind: "Be careful of ants."

"Where is it?" Xia Lunong suddenly became nervous, turned her head to look around, and after looking for a long time, she didn't find where the ants were.

"Bamboo shoots." Kong Zhi said, "You dig with socks on, don't take them off."

"okay."

Xia Lunong found a good location, and bent over to compare the place where the hoe was going to be dropped. When she went down with the hoe, she found that the soil was all hardened, and her hand hurt when she went down with the hoe.

Kong Zhi reminded, "Dig a little down, the top of the bamboo shoot has no meat."

"understood."

Xia Lunong changed another position and dug slowly.

Digging bamboo shoots is not an easy task.

Xia Lunong dug for a long time, and only half of the root was dug out. There was still a small part of the broken part, which he failed to dig out.

Kong Zhi watched him bend over and pant, and said, "Throw the bamboo shoots out to me first."

"Okay, catch it." Xia Lunong raised her hand and threw it not far from Kongzhi, which was blocked by bamboo branches and vines.

Kong Zhi squatted down and reached out to reach.

He is tall, with long hands and long feet, so he can reach it in one go, without having to drill in to pick it up.

Xia Lunong dug the bamboo shoots, and Kong Zhi peeled off the shells of the bamboo shoots, leaving only the edible bamboo shoots in his backpack.

Originally a large bamboo shoot, after peeling off the shell, there is only a small ball left, which does not occupy much space in the backpack.

Xia Lunong saw her with her head, and continued to wander around looking for bamboo shoots.

A lot of bamboo shoots grew after it rained a few days ago, and they only came here today, and many of them are old and can't be eaten at all.

Xia Lunong walked by the old bamboo shoots one after another, feeling very regretful in her heart.

The bamboo forest is full of overgrown bamboo branches, which is very difficult to walk. In addition, they have to be careful of insects and snakes, so they walk more slowly.

In the middle of the morning, they dug up more than ten catties of clean bamboo shoots.

At noon, they got out of the bamboo forest and sat to rest. Xia Lunong lifted up his clothes and fanned them, panting and said, "Digging bamboo shoots is really not easy."

His face was hot and red, and there were marks washed out by sweat on his face and neck.

Kong Zhi took out a handkerchief for him, and took out a lunch box, "Take a rest."

Lunch is relatively simple, only rice and fried sauerkraut with bacon in the morning.

Xia Lunong was so hungry that she took one of the lunch boxes and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Sitting next to him, Kong Zhi looked left and right to make sure there were no dangerous creatures nearby before he began to eat.

Seeing his movements, Xia Lunong froze for a moment, feeling that she had learned something again.

After she was full, Xia Lunong stuffed the lunch box into her backpack, sat in the shade, enjoying the cool breeze, and couldn't help feeling, "It's so comfortable."

Kong Zhi's meal was more, he hadn't finished it yet, seeing Xia Lunong's expression, he stopped his chopsticks, "Go back early in the afternoon?"

"No, fill your backpack and go back."

"Let's go back when we're tired. There's no need to force us to live longer."

Xia Lunong nodded, and made up her mind that she had to go out with great difficulty, and she had to fill up her backpack before going back.

Bamboo shoots are so easy to store, you don’t have to worry about digging more. No matter if they are made into dried bamboo shoots or sour bamboo shoots, they can be stored for a long time.

It is not suitable to rest in the wild, so the two sat for a while after lunch and continued to look for bamboo shoots.

Xia Lunong has gained experience in digging, and now she can dig one in half a minute.

Those bamboo shoots that are already a little old can be chopped down obliquely. It is not necessary to dig out all the bamboo shoots. The roots of the bamboo shoots will be too old to eat if they are dug out.

The more Xia Lunong dug, the more she felt a sense of accomplishment, and the more she dug, the more excited she became. It was estimated that by three o'clock, the backpack was almost full.

Xia Lunong stood up and thumped her lower back, then continued to drill into the depths of the bamboo forest, "If we had known, we would have brought an extra backpack here."

Kong Zhimao followed behind him, calmly, "It's useless to dig too much, I can't recite it."

"Hahaha, it's okay, if I dig too much, I will turn into a cat shape, and it won't take up the weight."

Kong Zhi said: "It's too much, I'm afraid I can't finish it."

"How is it possible? There is no such thing as endless food these days. If you are really tired of eating, you can send it to the market for something else. By the way, what do you like to eat?"

"vegetable?"

"Yes, what kind of vegetables or meat do you like to eat, like me, I especially like sweet and sour pork ribs and chicken wings."

Kong Zhi said: "Anything is fine."

"Hey, this sentence is the most annoying." Halfway through Xia Lunong's words, a white shadow flashed in front of his eyes, which startled him a lot, "...what?!"

Xia Lunong took several steps on her hind legs, and patted her chest with lingering fear.

Kong Zhi stood behind him and supported his shoulders, looking forward, "It's a sheep."

"Really." Xia Lunong took a closer look and found that there was a sheep in front of him. This sheep was not heavily mutated except for the horn on its head. Others were the same as ordinary sheep.

Xia Lunong became excited, pulled the bamboo branches and vines, and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, chase after me!"

"I can't catch up." Kong Zhi grabbed Xia Lunong's big arm and said in a low voice, "There are too many bushes here, we can't get through, and we can't use animal form, we can't use it."

Xia Lunong said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Just let it go like this?"

Kong Zhi has nothing to do, just grabbed him and repeated: "There are bamboo branches everywhere, be careful not to hurt your eyes."

"Hey——" Xia Lunong was firmly grasped by his arm, unable to move at all, so he could only say: "OK, OK, let me go, I won't chase anymore."

Kong Zhi looked at him, as if he was evaluating the credibility of his words.

Xia Lunong looked helpless.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Kong Zhi finally let him go.

Xia Lunong watched the sheep run farther and farther, her heart ached, "It's such a big sheep."

Kong Zhi said: "Let's go, continue digging bamboo shoots."

Xia Lunong muttered, "Why are you so calm and not greedy at all?"

"It's destined not to be caught, so why waste effort?"

Xia Lunong pursed her lips, looked at Kong Zhi's back, and at the sheep only five or six meters away, and suddenly reached out and threw the hatchet in her hand viciously.

When Kong Zhi heard the movement, he turned his head abruptly.

Xia Lunong's hatchet had already been thrown out, and the hatchet flew forward heavily like a rock, and all the bamboo branches, vines, shrubs, etc. blocking in front were opened by the flying hatchet.

The hatchet went straight to the sheep's head.

The sheep in front heard the movement and wanted to run away, but before it could move even a step, the hatchet had already hit its head heavily.

The sheep's head was bleeding profusely, and he ran two steps forward and fell to the ground.

However, the hatchet remained undiminished, and after hitting the ground, it slid a few meters away and fell into the bamboo leaves.

It happened at the moment of the fire and light stone.

Xia Lunong stared blankly at the front, then subconsciously looked at her hands, when will his skills improve?

Kong Zhi also saw the scene ahead, and the two looked at each other.

After being surprised, Kong Zhi boasted calmly: "Good job."

"It's just luck." Xia Lunong stretched her neck, still with an unbelievable expression, "Did I kill that sheep?"

"Go and have a look." Kong Zhi took the hoe in his hand, and used the hoe to open the bamboo branches on both sides, "Follow."

"Oh." Xia Lunong followed behind him, still looking ahead.

The sheep fell to the ground, its legs were still twitching, and it seemed that it would not be alive if it was alive now.

The two walked the five or six-meter road for three to four minutes.

After finally getting out, before Xia Lunong had time to catch her breath, Kong Zhi finished checking and said, "I can't survive."

"Ah?" Xia Lunong looked at the dead sheep on the ground and murmured, "It's really a miracle."

Kong Zhi took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to retrieve the machete from the gap between the bamboo branches, "The smell of blood is too strong here, go back first."

"Okay." Xia Lunong took the initiative to take the big backpack on Kong Zhi's body, turned his head to look left and right, "How do we go next?"

They had already reached the depths of the dense forest. There were bamboo branches and vines in all directions, and there were many thorny bushes among them. It was not easy to get out.

Kong Zhi stood up, observed for a while, "Go in this direction, follow me."

Kong Zhi stretched his arms, his muscles puffed up, and he threw the sheep onto his back with a "bang".

Xia Lunong looked at the size of the sheep, and estimated that the sheep weighed fifty or sixty catties.

It is not difficult to carry something that weighs fifty or sixty kilograms at ordinary times, but it is not so easy to carry such a heavy load in such a dangerous place.

Xia Lunong observed it for a while, and took the initiative to say: "Let me lead the way, I am also skilled, if you encounter danger, just remind me behind your back."

Kong Zhi didn't expect that he would take the initiative to say this, so he looked at him a few more times, nodded and moved away.

Xia Lunong tightened her backpack and walked ahead, holding the hatchet tightly in her hand, just in case.

This is the first time Charon has explored as a pioneer rather than a follower.

He walked in front, his whole body exuded a sense of caution, and he didn't look good to see where to go.

Kong Zhi looked at his figure behind him, but there was a smile in his eyes.
