Chapter 278 Rotten Problem
Lu Ming stood up, and said while picking up the floating soil: "Xiaoyi, there seems to be something here, did you hear it just now, it shouldn't be a stone, I heard this sound, it seems that the tip of the knife sprayed onto the wood, and the presence of wood means that there is a tree, do you think this tree will be a wild fruit tree?"
Bai Xiaoyi was looking for it on the side, but when she heard Lu Ming say this, she immediately walked over, and then began to help Lu Ming pull the soil, only to feel that it was about the same, because the location of the original fruit tree was near here.
For a while, the two began to dig up, digging by hand, but after the soil was exposed to the sun, it was difficult to operate, and it was not as easy to dig as it rained before, and now the clods were very hard, almost like the mud had dried up, fortunately, Lu Ming had the machete, and after digging with the tip of the knife for a while, he could continue to pick it up with his hands.
This place used to be a place for fruit trees, so whether it was Lu Ming or Bai Xiaoyi, they all dug very hard, if they could really find that tree, it would be great, because wild fruits can not only fill their stomachs, but also improve their taste.
After a while, Bai Xiaoyi couldn't do it, after all, she was a woman, with fine skin and tender meat, her hands were red, and she really couldn't pick it up, but Lu Ming didn't stop, and she kept picking it there, until after a while, she finally saw the branches in the dirt, and some yellowed leaves.
The leaves, though buried in the ground for a few days, showed no signs of rotting, and the branches were the same, very well preserved, and if I read correctly, they were the leaves of the wild fruit tree.
And the leaves are fine, if you can dig up those wild fruits, you should be fine.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ming was very excited, and while continuing to dig, he looked at Bai Xiaoyi and said, "Xiaoyi, come over and see, is this the leaf of that wild fruit tree?"
Bai Xiaoyi was a little tired, and her hands hurt a little, she was blowing there, and when she heard Lu Ming say this, she looked directly at the dirt pit, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said in surprise: "Yes, it's this leaf, it seems that we really found it, haha......"
"It's just that I don't know if those fruits are rotten, but the leaves are intact, those fruits should still be there, after all, they are connected with the branches and leaves into the soil, they should continue to grow, or keep the original state, let's hurry up and continue to dig, there will be a harvest!"
Yes, although this fruit tree is destroyed, the fruit and branches are still connected together, so that it will not lose a lot of water, and it will not die slowly, although it was bought underground for a few days, it should be fine, the big deal is that it will not grow, but it will continue to be saved, which is equivalent to putting it in the refrigerator, but the soil is too hard and needs a little bit of digging.
For a while, the two of them began to get busy, but after digging for a while, Lu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, because he saw a lot of wild fruits, although they were not as fresh as before, and they were a little shriveled, but they were not rotten, and they looked like they could be eaten.
Lu Ming looked at it and hurriedly picked up one, and he didn't care if it was clean or not, so he wiped it directly, and then stuffed it into his mouth, but he didn't expect that there was a lot of water in it, it was still so delicious, this Lu Ming ate, he kept swallowing saliva, Bai Xiaoyi didn't want to eat it, but she was happy to patronize it, after all, women love cleanliness and want to go back and eat it after washing, but when she saw that Lu Ming ate it so sweetly, she couldn't help it, and after picking one up, she wiped it carefully before she started eating.
Two people, one person and one wild fruit after the stomach, a lot of happiness, this is sweet food, on this island, you can still eat sweet things, this is like a dream, not to mention that the island is already like this, it is even more difficult.
It is precious, and once it is gone, it will be gone, after all, animals may still have it, but once this fruit is gone, there will be no more.
The two of them didn't eat much, but no one ate one, and then they continued to excavate, and the speed was much faster, Lu Ming still dug with the tip of the knife, but Bai Xiaoyi broke a branch, and then took it to excavate, so it was a lot easier, and the hand would not hurt, and it was even faster, which was very good.
This tree, the two of them still remember, is very big, and there are a lot of wild fruits on the tree, and now when they dig it, they also see a lot, nearly a hundred large and small, this is not finished, if they can all be pulled out, I believe that at least two or three hundred wild fruits can be dug up.
After digging up the wild fruits, Lu Ming put them aside to avoid damage, and then continued to excavate, Bai Xiaoyi was the same, holding the branches and digging the soil, just like that, the two dug for more than half an hour, and finally dug out all these wild fruits, but when they looked at it, they didn't know how to take it back.
At this time, Bai Xiaoyi put down the branch in his hand, looked at the sky again, and said to Lu Ming: "Lu Ming, let's quickly clean up!"
"By the way, there are so many fruits, how can we take them, if we only take back a little, these will be wasted, what can we do?"
Lu Ming was also having a headache, and when he heard Bai Xiaoyi finish speaking, he immediately frowned, hesitated for a while, and then suddenly realized: "In this way, I will use my clothes to pack these fruits in my clothes and pants, so that I can take them back, although I can't hold too much, but it is more than holding it with my hands, and so are you." ”
Bai Xiaoyi looked at it, nodded, and began to prepare, Lu Ming was the same, after three minutes, the two of them stuffed all those fruits into their clothes, and sure enough, there were a lot of them, but there were still some left, and if you lose some, you will lose some, it is better than falling into danger for a while.
This time, a total of more than 300 wild fruits were dug up, more than 200 were loaded, and there were less than 100 left, which was really there, Lu Ming saw it, and was a little unwilling, so he hurriedly buried those wild fruits back, preparing to come again tomorrow, if it is broken, it will be broken, but if it is not broken, is it not picked up?
And, just for a day, there should be no problem.
After burying these wild fruits, Lu Ming picked up his clothes and pants, and then followed Bai Xiaoyi to go back, Bai Xiaoyi just carried one, and said as he walked: "Can the fruit still hold on?" But it's nothing, we have found these now, it should be enough to eat for a while, those are bad, if they are not bad, it is better, anyway, we have to come out, but we will pass by and take a look." ”
"By the way, these fruits can't be eaten for a while, lest they spoil, we have to work hard, otherwise it's really a pity that they will rot, but the residential area is different from here, just like a natural refrigerator, it should be able to multiply for a few days, right?"
Lu Ming nodded and agreed: "Almost, after all, the basement is so cold, I believe it can be stored for a few more days, but it doesn't matter, this fruit is so small, and there are so many of us, it is estimated that we will eat it all in a few meals, so we don't have to worry about rotting at all." ”
