16. Rice crackers
Having eaten and drunk, Wuya finally had time to think about what she could do, or what she was going to do next.
And if nothing else, she might have to stay here for a while. Then, during this period of time, we will create better conditions for ourselves as much as possible, and have a better and more comfortable living environment.
The first thing that is comfortable is the bed! A comfortable bed can give her the motivation to endure more days of hard work.
There are no more conditions to make straw mats at the moment, after all, it will be a long, long time. So she had to go for something slightly softer to use as a mattress.
So she thought of a good thing, and that was the leaves of the big banyan tree. The leaves are large and thick, and can be padded in several layers as a mattress. Then wrap a square stone in a circle with leaves, and it will be a pillow.
Now that the weather is so cool, to be honest, quilts are also very needed. Her large coat has been requisitioned as a quilt. However, a coat is not enough.
Food or something, she was quite relieved. If you can find fish underneath, then other food should not be difficult to find.
And the main thing is that in the next few days, she will explore along the perimeter of the mountain, and if it is difficult, find something useful, or it would be better to meet people.
While the sky was still quite bright, Uya decided to look for some plants that could be used to hold things! The brown husks were very useful, but they were a bit too far from the twig-net woods. Those husks will be picked one day, and I don't know how long the shelf life will last, so try to find as many substitutes as possible.
Wu Ya, who sat on the stone and got up, felt dizzy as soon as she stood up, and after sitting for a long time, her whole feet began to go numb. One stumbled, snapped and fell to the ground.
The cold stone made Wu Ya's mind clear all of a sudden. Clapping her palms, Uya stood up with the stone in her hands. "Sure enough, I stayed in the big city for a long time and didn't move. It's tiring to do something. I have a weak heart. After spitting, he watched as Uya gathered the things she had brought back in a pile, picked up her backpack and ran into the woods.
This time she didn't go to the same road she had passed last time, but found another way. Because I was looking for something to eat, although I saw a few familiar trees, I just skipped it.
She noticed the last time she saw a pomegranate, but the fruit was a large white tree.
Compared to the big trees found over there, the ones on this side are relatively small, not that tall, about four or five meters. There is less fruit on the tree, but it doesn't look bad, it's the size of a football.
I don't know what the reason for this tree is, so its trunk is relatively curved, and it is quite easy to climb.
Rolling up her sleeves, Uya quickly climbed the tree like a monkey and decisively picked the fruit closest to her.
The red rind ripened to the point that a crack opened to reveal the white fruit covered in a transparent film. The fruit looks like rice through the diaphragm.
Holding the fruit, Uya jumped down from the tree. She tore a small hole in the film, then poured out some of the fruit and found that it really looked like rice. She took one and put it in her mouth to taste it, but found that unlike rice, this fruit tasted astringent, but there was a smell of rice without fragrance.
This fruit is small in quantity, and if it is confirmed that it is edible, it is a precious food. The thoughtful Wuya looked up at the big tree and touched her chin: "If this can be used as a staple food, then the rest of life will be much better." ”
Uya carefully put it in her backpack, her purpose was only to find more edible food, and she could only bring a little bit of each one back.
Then she searched the woods and found a lot of new things.
A parasitic plant whose fruit resembles a gourd, it has a lotus-like lid, and when it is opened, there is a lot of sweet and greasy liquid like nectar. She plucked one and found that the nectar was pink and sticky like honey, and there were deposits of honey.
She tore open the lid of the lotus pod and found that it was like a sponge with countless small holes, and a lot of pink liquid was dripping into the gourd drop by drop.
After a week of patrolling, she found the source of the pink liquid, which was actually the huge pink flower that bloomed in the big tree next to it. The petals, which were several circles larger than a palm, were dripping with dew, and the dew mixed with pollen slashed across the pink petals and dripped into the lid of the lotus pod.
Wu Ya found a few ripe and fallen gourds under the tree, and all the liquid in the gourds was sprinkled under the big tree to moisten the big tree.
"This plant is all fine, and you can still play like this!" Wu Ya, who had long knowledge, silently picked a few more gourds.
Well, the nectar is very nourishing, and if you don't pick it, it will fall off, so it's better to pick it for her.
Without nectar, the gourd has dried up and turned brown. She took one and knocked it a few times, and found that it was still quite sturdy enough to be used for stuffing. It's a pity that the lid can't be used, otherwise it would be perfect.
Another good thing is that she found a beautiful big husk. Well, to be honest, she couldn't believe it at first sight.
You know the big tank used to hold water in the countryside, it's as big as that tank. It has a large fruit shell with a skin as smooth as an eggshell and is filled with light purple water. She could see a lot of ripe, rotting black fruit inside.
In fact, the first thing she noticed was that Fruitshell saw the small tree next to it. Well, it's a small tree, but it's actually about one and a half meters, with very thin branches, no leaves, and seven or eight branches extending from the main trunk, which looks like an umbrella. The branches of the trees were covered with bunches of black-purple fruits. The fruit of a mixture of blueberries and grapes hangs particularly on the branches.
Seeing the big eggshell-like husk standing unharmed under the tree, she was silent for a long time. If she hadn't known that the real bird egg was not like this, she might have thought that this was a bird egg.
