After a lot of work, the two picked a lot of sea buckthorn fruits, but unfortunately this thing is too sour on the one hand, and on the other hand, the flesh of this thing is too little, and in terms of the efficiency of supplementing calories, it is very low.

So the two of them continued to move forward, searching for food that people could eat in this valley, not seeking to have a full stomach, but only to be able to replenish their energy.

"It's the beginning of September, and it's the time when all kinds of fruits are ripe, oh, I see small fruits in front, obviously green and brown mixed fruits, it should be sand dates, Weiwei, let's go pick sand dates. ”

Xiao Weiwei looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Didn't you say that sand dates are more unpalatable than sea buckthorn fruits?"

Liu Danqing smiled awkwardly and explained: "Well, the ripeness of the current sand dates is even lower, and they are very astringent, but there is a lot of meat, we can roast and eat them, at least to fill the stomach." I have eaten more cooked sea buckthorn before, and the taste is very good, but I didn't expect that the sea buckthorn here matures later than the Gobi Desert. ”

"It's very happy to sit and watch the young man come out of the mess. ”

"Master Qing, you also have today, let you put POSS, let you blow!"

"Slap him slightly!

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei quickened their steps and walked to the front of the sand date tree, Liu Danqing looked at the sand date tree and introduced.

"The jujube tree can grow to more than ten meters, but in this kind of intermittent water, it is estimated that it will have to be folded in half, this tree is probably less than five meters high, if it is not blocked by a few poplar trees, we would have been able to find it a long time ago. ”

"Now we don't have long enough tools to beat dates, but even if we do, it's useless, because the dates on this tree are still ripe and not easy to beat, so I can only climb the tree and carry out destructive mining. ”

Climbing this kind of tree of less than five meters is not difficult for Liu Danqing, three times and two times, he climbed to the tree, kicked on the separated trunk with both feet, and began to break the branch and throw it down.

"I can only use this method of pulling branches to collect sand dates, if you pick them one by one, it is too much waste of time and physical strength, when surviving in the wilderness, no matter what you do, you have to pursue a cost-effective price. ”

"Besides, if I wrench off some branches, it will be like losing a little hair for this date tree, at most it will become a little ugly, and it will not have a big impact. ”

"The jujube tree in the desert is good, there are no caterpillars on it, I remember a summer vacation when I was a child, because of my greed, I climbed a jujube tree with my friends, and wanted to pick the crisp jujube on it to eat, but I didn't expect that the jujube tree was full of caterpillars, which we called prickly hairs. ”

"The kind of prickly hairs on the jujube tree, or the overlord of the prickly hairs, called the flat brocade thorns, that time my little friend and I only wore a pair of boxer shorts, and the were so miserable that we went back and smeared our whole body with soy sauce, making it look like African black buddies. After that, we never came near the date palm again. ”

This kind of thing, for Xiao Weiwei, who grew up in the city, it is simply a fantasy, she listened to the tragic experience of Liu Danqing and her friends, and actually said enviously: "Qingqing, you were so fun when you were a child, I was miserable when I was a child, and I had to make up classes every day......"

Liu Danqing thought about it, between being pricked and making up for the class, it was more cost-effective to be stabbed.

Xiao Weiwei's complaint also aroused the resonance of many audiences, especially the gang of local tyrants in Mingyuan.

"Xiong Er gave Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - Master Qing, you were so happy when you were a child, and now I am the same as Weiwei, I have to make up classes every day, one in the morning, one in the evening, tragedy!"

"The invincible beautiful girl Jingjing gave Danqing and Weiwei an early warning plane - I was taking a dance class, and now I am taking advantage of the break to watch the live broadcast for a while, I would rather go to the Gobi than make up the class. ”

"The fourth eldest of the Thirteenth Taibao of the Famous Garden gave Danqing and Weiwei an early warning plane-miserable! Sister Weiwei, we are just as miserable as you!"

"Lao Jiu, the thirteenth sister of the famous garden, gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - make up for the class! Make up the class every day! I want to go to Qingye and Sister Weiwei. ”

One by one, they are complaining about unscrupulous make-up classes, and how many students do not make up classes these days.

Liu Danqing tossed a tree into a dysentery, and then jumped off the tree and picked the sand dates on the branches with Xiao Weiwei.

These dates are still mostly green-green, with a slight chloasma.

Liu Danqing pointed to the melasma and introduced: "Look, these sand dates belong to small dates, which are about the same size as SD's golden silk dates, and may even be smaller. ”

"Wait until the whole sand date becomes yellow-brown, then the sand date is fully ripe, we pick, it belongs to the immature sand date, the taste will be very astringent when eaten directly, but after roasting, the taste will be better. ”

"Now that my shirt is about to come in handy again, I spread it flat on the ground and put the dates I have picked up so that I can take them away later. ”

Both of them were masters with quick hands and feet, and it didn't take long for them to pluck all the dates, put them on their shirts, and pile them up into a small pile.

Liu Danqing folded the opposite corners of the shirt and tied a knot, and then folded the other two opposite corners to tie the knot, and a package was completed, carrying it to the shoulder, and the two stood up.

Liu Danqing looked at the sky, the sun had begun to tilt to the west, and said: "The time should be two or three o'clock now, and we should now find a campsite, light a fire, and build a shelter." ”

"As is the old rule, let's climb up to the high ground in front of us on the right and see where we can build shelter. ”

The two continued to set off and walked towards the hill, and along the way, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei became relaxed.

"Now we have food, we have water, and here's a lot of dead trees, which are very, very dry, which means they're great for fuel. ”

Walking uphill, Liu Danqing said as he bent down and grabbed two handfuls on the ground and raised his hands.

"You see these are dead grasses, all over the hillside, and although their roots are still alive, they are withered because they can't provide enough water. ”

"They're actually a little bit tough, but as long as you rub them and put them in the sun for a while, they're very good velvet, the kind that catches them at all, so I'm not worried about fire at all. ”

Xiao Weiwei listened to Liu Danqing's introduction, and also grabbed a few handfuls of grass on the ground, rubbed them, and said while kneading: "Then I will also collect a little and knead it well, so that there will be more velvet, well, these grasses are really dry." ”

"Yes, if this grass is used as fuel, it is already very dry, and it will not produce much smoke when burned, and when we find the campsite, we will come and collect some dead grass and use it to light the fire. ”

Climbing to the top of the mountain, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei looked around for a campsite, and after looking for a while, Liu Danqing suddenly patted his head, pointed to his body and said: "Look, we are really dark under the lights, just below us, there is a depression, which is very suitable for building shelters." ”

"We are now on the right side of the valley, and the valley is trending northeast, so this depression blocks the southeast and southwest directions. ”

"It's mainly a southeast wind, so the location is perfect for blocking the winds and the afternoon sun. ”

"Weiwei, let's go over and see if there are any hidden flaws, if not, we will stay there tonight. ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded, and followed Liu Danqing down to the depression to check it, perfect.
