Cub's Small Vegetable Garden [Interstellar]

The two of them had been walking in the rainforest for an unknown amount of time, and the lack of water made them urgently want to find a source of water.

Tall trees block out the sky, and only a few rays of sunlight fall through the gaps between the branches and leaves, illuminating the surrounding environment.

Jiang Li wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Walter beside him, "Walter, there is no way for us to walk around like this, we have to find a solution quickly."

Jiang Li observed the surrounding environment, "It seems that we are still some distance away from the water source, and we may not be able to get there before dark."

Because he lived with his grandfather in Xiaoxian Village since he was a child, Jiang Li has learned a lot about foraging and surviving in the forest. Although it is the first time he has seen such a huge tropical rainforest, he can still cope with it based on his understanding of trees. all at once.

"You're right," Jiang Li's words made Walter calm down slowly, "I know that there is a tropical plant whose roots are edible, called water potato, it has a lot of water, let's see if we can find that kind plant."

Because when Walter first entered the film, as soon as he opened his eyes, he had a face-to-face visual greeting with the big snake, which frightened him so much that he even forgot the most basic rainforest survival knowledge up.

While talking, Walter turned on his brain and pointed out the picture of the plant to Jiang Li.

Although their brains have lost the signal, the basic functions can still be used.

Jiang Li looked at the picture projected by the brain in the air and nodded, and said to Walter, "Then let's look around first."

After the two of them finished speaking, they began to search around.

Water potatoes are used to growing in shady and cool places. The leaves are slender and long like a crescent. Its parts are not exposed on the ground, but its roots are deeply embedded in the ground. For water potatoes of a certain age, the roots that penetrate the ground The whiskers can be tens of meters long, so they can store a lot of water.

Because the water potato is very good at hiding its whereabouts, it is not easy to find it.

After changing four or five venues in a row, Walter finally found the water potato.

"Here, Jiang Li, come quickly, I found it!" After turning over a bush, Walter's eyes lit up suddenly, and he shouted in great surprise.

Jiang Li was looking for water potatoes about ten meters away from him, when he heard Walter's shout, he turned around and ran towards Walter's location.

Both are very happy.

After observing the surrounding environment and making sure there was no danger, the two squatted down and started digging up water potatoes.

Because they didn't have any tools at hand, they didn't dig fast. Fortunately, the soil here was relatively soft, so through digging with bare hands and flexible use of branches, they quickly saw the roots of water potatoes.

A touch of tender whiteness is so conspicuous in the taupe soil.

Jiang Li and Walter dug harder.

Unknowingly, the temperature in the rainforest began to drop, and the light became darker and darker.

After digging out the one-meter-long water potato, the two of them took it and ran towards a small tree hole they found while looking for the water potato before they could take a bite.

The night is approaching, and some animals that like to hunt at night are waking up.

Both of them knew that the tropical rainforest at night was more dangerous than during the day.

They didn't want to be the prey of those dangerous animals, so they had to run back to the place they found before before it was completely dark and they could still see the road.

Although the death in the holographic film is not real death, but in the holographic simulation mode of the virtual warehouse, death is not a good thing either.

If they could get from the beginning to the end of the film alive, they would never choose to wake up in the middle.

In this film about the tropical rainforest, the two of them are like two outsiders to all the animals and plants in the tropical rainforest, as tiny as a grain of sand in the desert, inconspicuous.

They are bystanders, but also experiencers.

When the two of them ran under the tree hole, it was almost completely dark.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them quickly climbed up the thick branches and climbed into the tree hole about ten meters above the ground.

The tree hole is about one meter long and two meters wide. It is gourd-shaped, with a small opening and a large space inside.

They don't know how the hole was formed, but it doesn't matter, they just need to know that the hole is safe and allows them to spend the night safely.

After they stopped exercising, the two people's feeling of the sudden drop in temperature became more and more obvious.

"Jiang, Jiang Li," Walter, who was shivering from the cold, looked at Jiang Li opposite, "Should we light a fire to keep warm?"

"I don't want it anymore," Jiang Li looked at the dark outside, "The branches outside are full of moisture, if they are lit, there will be a lot of smoke coming out, and I don't know if they will attract some animals."

Walter was shaking like a sieve from the cold, and after thinking about Jiang Li's words, he nodded, "Yes, it makes sense, then, no, don't order."

"How about," Jiang Li looked at the blurred figure of Walter on the opposite side, and suggested with some hesitation, "Let's block the entrance of the cave? It might be warmer."

To block the hole, they need to climb out first and find some broad leaves to come back.

Going out at this time means danger.

The air suddenly stopped.

After a while, Jiang Li heard Walter's voice, "Just do as you say, don't block the hole, we're going to survive tomorrow."

"The leaves of this tree should be fine too. Let's pick some leaves near the entrance of the hole and plug the hole," Walter added. "We need to make a quick decision. It's just getting dark now, and it's not too dangerous yet."

"En!" Jiang Li nodded.

After paying attention, Jiang Li and Walter climbed out of the tree hole one after another.

The tropical rainforest in the dark is mysterious and dangerous, because Jiang Li's sense of smell and hearing have become extremely sharp because his vision is hindered by the dark night.

He tried his best to look around, and according to his memory, he touched a branch the size of his wrist, and groping up the branch, his fingers touched the cold leaves.

Jiang Li stretched out his hands and quickly folded down the branch, trying to bring the branch back into the tree hole.

The sound of branches breaking was so clear in the dark tropical rainforest that Jiang Li's heart beat wildly, he was very afraid of attracting some dangerous animals.

While Jiang Li was trying to break off the branches, Walter was not idle on the other side of the tree hole.

The tree they were in was very old, with a towering green crown, hundreds of meters wide, and lush branches and leaves.

Around it, no trees grow.

While they were busy collecting leaves, a sharp-horned beast with smooth fur came from under the tree.

Because the tree hole is about ten meters above the ground, and Jiang Li and Walter are even above the tree hole, the sharp horned beasts can't climb trees, so they can't reach them.

After lingering under the tree for a while, the sharphorn decisively left to hunt for other food.

This kind of scene happened more than once under the tree. Some animals retreated because they couldn’t climb trees, and some animals retreated because of the secretion of the leaves of this tree. Jiang Li and Walter didn’t know about it.

Thanks to the tree, they escaped unharmed.

After covering the entrance of the cave with several layers of leaves, Jiang Li and Walter obviously felt that the cave was much warmer.

At this time, the two people were already exhausted, and after saying good night to each other, they immediately fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

When Jiang Li woke up, it was already bright outside.

At this time, he could see a little more clearly in the cave, and he looked towards where Walter was. Walter was sleeping soundly with his hands folded on his chest, only showing his red head to Jiang Li.

He didn't wake Walter up, and looked around the tree hole he was in with his eyes open.

The wall of this tree hole is not smooth, as if it was dug out with something, with vertical and horizontal marks.

Jiang Li felt that someone might have come here and dug a hole here.

However, he found it incredible that he and Walter were in the same movie. Could it be that the footprints left by the previous people in this movie would be preserved by the movie after they watched it?

Jiang Li couldn't figure it out.

It was the first time he experienced this kind of holographic film.

I have to say that this place is really too real. If he didn't come in with Walter, he might really think that he has traveled through time again.

Now, Jiang Li still doesn't see what the film wants to express, and he doesn't know how to get out of here.

Since Allen said that his doubts will find answers here, then he will seriously look for answers here.

"Gu——" The stomach protested suddenly, Jiang Li touched his stomach, and his eyes fell on the water potato in the tree hole.

After the military training, he and Walter went straight to the library before they had time to eat, and here they were.

The flow of time here is obviously different from the outside.

When Allen called up this holographic video from the star cabinet, he had seen it once, and the video was only one hour long.

And now, they have spent nearly a day here, and they don't know how long they will continue to stay here.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Li noticed that Walter's body moved on the opposite side.

"Well." Walter raised his head slowly, he glanced at Jiang Li, yawned and said to Jiang Li, "Jiang Li, did you wake up early?"

"I just woke up too," Jiang Li replied with a smile, "Walter, after we get rid of the water potatoes, shall we move on?"

Both of them didn't know what to do in this situation. Before entering here, they didn't get any hints. In desperation, they decided to watch while walking.

"Okay, speaking of food, I'm really hungry." Walter smiled too.

The two of them divided the water potatoes they found yesterday into two, half for each person. After cleaning them, they ate them with big mouthfuls.

The water potatoes are full of moisture, and even though they have been stored overnight, they are still very crispy. Although they have no taste, Jiang Li eats them with relish.

Compared to Jiang Li who was hungry and had food to eat, at this moment, he was extremely satisfied.

After eating the water potatoes, they climbed out of the tree hole again.

Outside the tree hole, except for some branches above the tree hole showing signs of being broken by the two of them, the surrounding scenery is almost the same as yesterday.

The two climbed down the tree one after another and began to continue exploring in this tropical rainforest.
