Chapter Fifty-Eight: Windfall
Although the chances are already slim, Ruan Chi still wants to try his luck and walk around the neighborhood with Betty, maybe there will be something else.
Betty was naturally very happy to hear that Ruan Chi was going to go together, and hurriedly agreed, and those wandering women were even more excited, and they flashed their eyes at Ruan Chi, a great benefactor, causing Ruan Chi to regret it and almost want to run.
Although a group of women go outside to gather wild vegetables, the scope of their activities is limited to a short distance from the camp.
Betty's eyes are inconvenient, and when she used to collect wild vegetables, she always followed a woman who was usually good, but today Ruan Chi was here, and the woman handed Betty to him very irresponsibly.
"So where do we start?" I didn't expect that I really wanted to help, Ruan Chi was a little speechless.
Betty held back a smile and whispered: "I'm sorry Ruan Chi, I'm going to trouble you now, you can walk along the ground in a while, but try to pay attention to the places between the cracks in the rocks, where silver thread and red vermilion fruit generally grow." β
Ruan Chi nodded helplessly, and then walked in front, Betty followed behind, with one hand on Ruan Chi's shoulder, using Ruan Chi as a blind male bamboo.
The two of them walked for a hundred meters, and soon found an inconspicuous grass in a crack in a rock, the size of a palm, yellow and thin, with a gray silver line in the middle of the leaves, which, according to Betty's description, was an edible silver thread.
Ruan Chi squatted down and dug it out and put it in his hand, feeling that this wild vegetable was also malnourished enough, although he hadn't eaten it yet, but recalling the smell that emanated from the broth that night, Ruan Chi probably knew that it was not delicious.
"I didn't expect to harvest the first silver thread so quickly today, Ruan Chi, your luck is really good." Betty took the silver thread from Ruan Chi's hand, put it in the basket and said with a smile.
"It's hard to find this thing normally?" Ruan Chi stood up and asked.
"Well, as a few plants that can barely grow on this rocky ground, although the number is not rare, but because it has been collected too much by everyone, it has become more and more rare in recent years, and sometimes it is unlucky, maybe you can't find one for half a day." Betty stuck out her tongue and said.
Ruan Chi was stunned, and suddenly remembered something, "That night, you seem to have put a lot of silver thread vegetables into the broth, is it ......?"
Betty didn't expect Ruan Chi to suddenly mention this, and suddenly said a little shyly, "It's nothing, because you just woke up that day and your body was weak, so Jim and I decided to make soup with silver thread vegetables and raccoon meat that we had accumulated to replenish your body." β
It turned out that the broth was the last reserve for them, Ruan Chi couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard it, and said very sincerely, "Thank you!" β
Betty hurriedly waved her hand, "It's nothing, not to mention that you didn't drink the broth in the end, but helped us fight for food from the meteor, it's us who should say thank you." β
This is a kind girl.
Ruan Chi looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but comment in his heart, but his eyes fell on Betty's head unnaturally, and the pale green name was a little dazzling in the sun. (Opinion goes up, from neutral to close, name changes from yellow to light green)
β¦β¦
Collecting wild vegetables in the endless wasteland is a very boring thing, Ruan Chi lowered his head to look at the ground, and while looking at the ground, he didn't say a word to the girl behind him.
Through guΓ² talking, although Ruan Chixian's Betty personality is very quiet, as long as he is familiar with the other party, there are still many things he can talk about.
So after chatting, Ruan Chi asked about the day he was rescued.
"I was also collecting wild vegetables that day, and I happened to pass by the refugee camp of the Ranster Kingdom and found you nearby." Betty recalled.
"Where is that camp?" Ruan Chi asked.
"In the Yellow Leaf Valley, it's not very far from here, where we stayed half a month ago."
"Oh, then why did you come here all of a sudden?"
"Because there are so many homeless people who have suddenly poured into the country, as the Yellow Leaf Valley on the border between the two countries, food is in short supply all of a sudden."
"Wanderers pouring into the country?"
"It's a refugee from the Kingdom of Ranster......" Betty was about to continue, when she suddenly realized that Ruan Chi was also one of the refugees, so she was a little embarrassed to say, "I'm sorry, I forgot that they are your compatriots." β
"Oh, it's fine." Although it was true that he came from the Lancester Kingdom, Ruan Chi was not a refugee at all, so he didn't care at all.
Betty listened carefully to Ruan Chi's change in tone, and after confirming that he was not angry, she said slowly, "The giant incident on the night of the frost moon made Lancet lose his country, and the refugees who fled were homeless, except for the nobles who bought a lot of money to settle down as civilians at high prices in other countries, almost all the refugees fled to our land, although the living environment was difficult, but there was a place to stay......"
It can be seen that when Betty said this, there was obvious sympathy in her eyes,
"......" Ruan Chi was sweating profusely when he heard this, and quickly turned around and didn't look at Betty's eyes.
Betty naturally didn't pay attention to Ruan Chi's actions, but comforted, "Ruan Chi, I think you should still have family members before you lost your memory, if they didn't die, maybe they would be on this land, maybe one day, you will reunite with them." β
I'm just fake amnesia, what family can I have in the game?
The corners of Ruan Chi's mouth twitched, but he couldn't say this, and was about to change the topic, but Betty suddenly asked again.
"Ruan Chi, do you miss your mother?"
Ruan Chi was shocked and suddenly stopped.
Betty couldn't see it, so she hit Ruan Chi's back all of a sudden, she hurriedly said sorry, and asked at the same time, "Ruan Chi, are you okay?" β
Ruan Chi snorted, covered his head with a half-bang and said with a stiff smile, "No, it's okay." β
When Betty said the word mother just now, I don't know why, a figure flashed in Ruan Chi's mind, but this figure was too vague, and Ruan Chi didn't have any impression at all.
"Could that be ...... Mom? Ruan Chi muttered and led Betty on.
A huge gray rock appeared in front of him, and Ruan Chi asked Betty if she wanted to go around it, but Betty exclaimed in surprise, "Huge rock?" There is a good chance that there will be silver thread in the crevices under the rocks, so let's take a look. β
Ruan Chi didn't understand any of this, so he walked under the rock with Betty.
Not to mention, under that rock, there was a crack that was recessed inside, five or six meters long and half a meter deep, and the bottom was covered with silver threads, as well as the red vermilion fruit that Ruan Chi had eaten before.
Telling SΓΉ Betty about the news, Betty was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears, "Ruan Chi, you are really our lucky star, so many silver thread dishes are enough for us to eat for a while." β
"It's probably my lucky value, but it's too much of an exaggeration to say that the lucky star is full." Ruan Chi modestly waved his hand and motioned for Betty to wait next to him, while he jumped directly into the crack.
I was about to pull out the silver thread inside, but I saw something else in the corner of my eye.
"Hey, isn't this a Bazhen Grass?" Ruan Chi picked up the dense silver thread and pulled out a verdant grass from it.
