Volume 2 Survival in the Forbidden Land Chapter 13 The Big Egg

The spring thunder exploded, and the thunder and lightning shone on the hearts of this group of teenagers and girls. Torrential rain always lasts long, but thunder is loud and rainy. After a while, the sky was still raining, but it was not as fast as before.

This place is not suitable for settling, and after the heavy rain, Ling Chen and the others hit the road again. The mountain roads are difficult to navigate, and after the rain, the roads become even more muddy. The cloth shoes with the bottom of the green yarn mille-feuille are also glued with layers of dirt here. The road surface is slippery, and cloth shoes do not play a good role in anti-slip, but after the soles are stuck with mud, they become more slippery. Cautiously along the way, the group walked slowly with crutches made of tree branches.

In the end, between the two big trees, the group built a half-slope shed, which was enough for everyone to rest. The ground is not too wet, and the dense canopy blocks most of the rain. After a little tidying up, the place was cleaned up. The dry firewood in the field was wet, and Ling Chen put a bundle of dry firewood in the slaughtering and storage ring before, mixed with the moist firewood and grass to burn together, and there was no big problem.

The orange-red flame rises slowly, and in such an environment, fire is the best spiritual sustenance. Wang Qingyun and Wang Qingyu were already arguing, and these two occupied most of the team's common communication time. Ling Chen didn't get involved this time, and he had no intention of persuading him. With his hands around his legs and his chin on his knees, Ling Chen looked at the fire in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.

I don't know when, I can't hear the noise, maybe they have stopped, maybe they have fallen asleep. Ling Chen's thinking was a little vague, and he couldn't remember these things clearly.

It was the second day when he woke up, and Ling Chen was lying on the ground with a small blanket on his body. The fire was still burning, and there was only Ning Yuanru by his side. Ning Yuanru also saw that Ling Chen had woken up, and his eyes looked over.

They looked at each other and both laughed at the same time.

"What about them?" folded the thin blanket on his body and handed it back to Ning Yuanru, Ling Chen asked.

"I went looking for something to eat. Ning Yuanru said with a smile. When this girl first met, she thought she was a shy lady, but after contact, you will find that she has always given people a kind of smart and tranquil and natural realization, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.

"I heard Ling Yue say that mushrooms will grow in the forest after the rain, so they went to pick mushrooms. ”

"Huh?" Ling Chen heard this, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

"How did you eat dinner yesterday?" Ling Chen asked. He slept directly from yesterday to today, so yesterday's dinner, without their own firewood, rice, oil and salt, where would they eat?

Hearing this, the corners of Ning Yuanru's mouth swelled with an intriguing arc.

"Didn't eat. Ning Yuanru shook his head, a pair of bright big eyes sparkled, and Ling Chen was embarrassed for a while.

"Ahh This is all my fault. Ling Chen pinched the back of his head with his right hand and said with a smile.

"How long have they been there?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Ling Chen quickly changed the subject.

"I don't know, it should have been more than an hour. Ning Yuanru thought for a while and said.

After coming here, the concept of time has become very weak. In the past, it was possible to determine the time according to the height of the sun, but today it is still drizzling, so I can only estimate it.

The rice and pot are in their own storage rings, and they can't take them out without their own mental power. Unless the ring is forcibly broken, but this method is just a joke. Everyone was reluctant to wake up Ling Chen, who was asleep, and everyone could see what he had done for the team. So in the evening, a group of people you look at me, I look at you, only the rumbling stomach proves that the atmosphere at this time is somewhat embarrassing.

It was completely dark, and the rain was still falling outside, as thin as a cow's hair, and it never stopped. The crowd endured hunger and talked about the bits and pieces of their past lives. Ling Yue occasionally accosted someone on the side, and gradually told everyone about his past.

She is from Linye County in the Southern Wasteland, studying at Yetai College, which is adjacent to Spruce County and is not too far away from Ling Chen and the others. They have also heard of this academy, and the strength of Yetai Academy is certainly not comparable to the bitter cold school in the town like their Wanyuan Academy. In the college competition, he qualified with the results of Jiayin Tiger, and his strength should not be underestimated. A few people were talking about some gonzo in the academy, and they were happy.

Drink water when you are hungry, this is a method created by Wang Qingyun. Although it is speechless, it can at least temporarily quench the hunger. Finally, Ling Yue said that a lot of mushrooms would grow in the forest after the rain, and everyone could go to pick mushrooms the next day. Mushrooms are of course a good thing, at least they taste much better than bitter wild vegetables, and I believe that such a huge forest will have a rich reward after the rain. Ling Yue said that in the days when she was wandering alone in the forest, she had eaten mushrooms raw, and they tasted very good, and she also knew several edible mushrooms. It was a good idea, and everyone was very supportive. But Ling Chen's side definitely needs someone to guard, so Ning Yuanru will stay behind to take care of Ling Chen. It felt like Ling Chen was an injured person, but he was just asleep.

As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Qingyun couldn't bear it, woke up everyone who was still asleep, and began to set off to look for mushrooms. At this time, the sky was still light, and I couldn't even tell the way, let alone look for mushrooms. And many mushrooms are poisonous, compared to wild vegetables, looking for mushrooms requires a high degree of recognition, some mushrooms look similar, but just because they are slightly different, it is the difference between poisonous and non-toxic, so it is absolutely careless. When Ling Yue said these questions, Wang Qingyu washed Wang Qingyun according to this. What kind of monkey is in a hurry, starving ghost reincarnation, etc... Anyway, I didn't save face for my brother.

The campfire is still burning, and there is still half of the firewood I picked up yesterday. When the fire is baking, put a few moist firewood nearby, and when the firewood in the fire is about to burn out, put the wet firewood smoked on the side. At this time, the firewood has already dried and is ready to burn quickly. In this way, there will be no situation where the fire will go out but the wood will be wet. These methods are all told to them by Ling Chen, although they are small, but the details can make life more convenient here.

There was a bright glow on the edge of the sky, and then the whole world suddenly became clear. The clouds obscure the sun, but they cannot hide the light that shines on the world. At this time, a group of people began to go on the road to look for mushrooms, leaving Ning Yuanru to look at Ling Chen, who was still asleep.

The two chatted for a while, both talking about some trivial matters in their daily lives. Occasionally I would talk to other people on the team, talk about their personalities, etc.

"Brother Chen, I want to ask..."Ning Yuanru's voice did not fall. A hearty laugh interrupted her.

"Haha! Great harvest! Dust has woken up, come and see what we have found. Far away, I heard Wang Qingyun shouting at the top of his throat.

Ling Chen looked behind him and found that the group had returned. Wang Qingyun danced with his hands, and his joy was overflowing, and it seemed that it was really as he said, a bumper harvest.

"Look at your joy, you found something good, and took it out to open my eyes. Ling Chen was speechless, and he couldn't help but start suppressing Wang Qingyun for a sentence or two. At the same time, I looked at the group to see if there were any accidents. Several people were a little wet, and the small droplets of water condensed on their hair were extremely dense. The shoes were also covered with mud, and the back of Xu Ziqing's buttocks was still wet, and it looked like he had accidentally fallen.

"Ahem. Wang Qingyun coughed twice, and pretended to say: "Everyone show today's harvest and give us Captain Ling a look." ”

Although everyone couldn't stand Wang Qingyun's dog-blowing appearance, they still took out all the things with a smile. The ground is full of mushrooms, colorful, and beautiful.

Ling Chen and Ning Yuanru were very happy when they saw this, these things could be eaten for them for several days. But Ling Chen knew that these mushrooms would have to go through some more screening, and it would inevitably be some fish that would slip through the net. When you encounter a mushroom that you are not sure about, it is better not to eat it than to take the risk of trying it. At present, they are not to the point where they are exhausted, a few mushrooms, they don't want it.

"Hmph, look at your little bit of talent. Seeing the joy in Ling Chen's eyes, Wang Qingyun said disdainfully.

"I'll show you another baby. After that, Wang Qingyun took out the Qiankun bag for a long time, and then took out a huge egg. How big is it? Wang Qingyun was holding this egg in both hands, and he could completely cover his head.

"Hmph. Wang Qingyun smiled evilly, "What!

It's a smooth white egg, and although it's a little hard to see in the shed, it's a real and edible egg. Now I don't care what kind of egg or bird egg it is, I just can eat it.

If Ling Chen was really happy to see that large pile of mushrooms just now, he was really overjoyed when he saw this egg now. After so many days, everyone came by eating cooking cakes and gruel, and they were already hungry, and there was not a trace of meat in their stomachs. Now that I can finally see a little meat, isn't it a golden light in everyone's eyes.

"Oh my God. Ling Chen took the egg with both hands, it was quite heavy, weighing five or six catties. Ling Chen swallowed his saliva uncontrollably, and then came back to his senses.

"Ahem. After adjusting his mood, Ling Chen asked, "You say, how to eat this egg? make poached eggs? or boil it? or... Frying?"

"Fried?" everyone was stunned, is there any oil? How to fry eggs without oil.

As if in response to everyone's doubts, a palm-sized straw paper bag suddenly appeared in Ling Chen's hand, and when he opened the paper bag, a piece of snow-white lard was lying quietly.

This is lard, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Where did you come from?" Wang Qingyun leaned over, his voice trembling slightly, but it should have been caused by excitement.

"This is what I keep for the fire fold. Ling Chen rolled his eyes and said.

"There's a toon tree not far away. Ning Yuanru said with a smile.

"Oh?!"

"I'll go. Xu Ziqing held a wooden stick in his hand and kept holding the ground. Hearing this, he immediately rushed out excitedly.

"I'll go too. Wang Qingyu was also very happy, and ran out with Xu Ziqing.

"I'll check these mushrooms again with Ling Yue, you and Yuan Ru, the two of you are going to cook on the fire. Let's have a good meal today. Ling Chen said.
