Chapter 56: Struggling to survive
After thinking about it, Ling Xiaoqi went to Wang Biao to buy meat in exactly the same position as that day, and found someone to make braised pork and take it to the barren mountain. I wanted to restore the kitchen, but I didn't know what to expect in the kitchen, so I asked the neighbor's aunt to buy everything in the kitchen.
As a result, people deceived him that he didn't understand, so he not only gave him the money to help, but also purchased these things at a price twice as high as Mu Lingshu's original.
Mu Lingshu went to find that person and asked Ling Xiaoqi for the extra money back.
She was very touched by what Ling Xiaoqi had done and was grateful to him, but she didn't plan to go back.
Now that she has hands and feet and the ability to make money, there is really no reason to continue to live with him.
The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as her own kennel, and this thatched house belongs to her no matter how broken it is.
To be precise, it was left behind by those who went up to the mountains to cut wood, hunt and the like, although she was the owner of the barren mountain, but now this endless mountain is not something she can take care of.
She made a pact with those who depended on the mountains to survive, and they could still chop wood and hunt in places she had not carved out.
These people smiled, obviously thinking that it was impossible for Mu Lingshu to let the barren mountains grow food, and the agreement had no effect on them, so they readily agreed.
And Mu Lingshu lived the days of collecting medicines, drying medicines, selling medicines, and buying night incense to irrigate the barren land.
A rainstorm knocked down the thatched hut that was not very sturdy, and she stood in the rain and saw that there was no place for her to stay.
Ling Xiaoqi appeared and wanted to take her away, but was rejected again.
After the rain, a thatched house was rebuilt in the original location, and Ling Xiaoqi, who had always loved cleanliness, smiled at her in mud.
It was that day that Mu Lingshu knew that Ling Xiaoqi had been secretly following her, and she didn't worry about letting her stay in the mountains as a girl.
Although he was moved, his kindness and kindness invisibly put a kind of pressure on Mu Lingshu, like an invisible shackle trapped her.
A girl who lives alone in the mountains and forests, and has no ability to protect herself against bad guys and wild beasts, she also knows that it is dangerous.
But what could she do? Renting a room at an inn? It's not also a place where people come and go, and it's not necessarily safe to spend money.
And in order to help Mu Lingshu, although she did not fall asleep, the loss was too large, she could only rely on her own ability to find medicinal materials, and it was very likely that she would not find anything at the end of the day.
It was so unstable that she didn't dare to waste money on accommodation.
The refined fine salt, it's not that I didn't want to take a risk to make a vote, fine salt and glass are not available here, but the importance of fine salt is far greater than that of glass.
If she makes a move, will anyone want it after eating it, and the salt chamber will not be interested in making money, who is trustworthy...... There was too much uncertainty, which made Mu Lingshu discouraged her, and she only dared to eat it herself.
Back to Ling Xiaoqi? So what's the point of surviving if she works so hard to make money.
Ling Xiaoqi's silent follow-up also made Mu Lingshu afraid, if it weren't for the excessive loss of Shaobai, she would be looking for medicinal materials without saying anything, and she would probably not be able to keep Shaobai's secret!
Will he think of himself as a monster? Tied to the fire frame and burned to death, I was shocked by the cold sweat of this thought.
In order to keep Ling Xiaoqi from following her, Mu Lingshu said against her will: "You follow me because you're afraid that I'll run away, don't you pay back your money, don't worry, I won't run, I'll pay you back as soon as I have money, don't be so careful......"
Ling Xiaoqi felt insulted and left angrily.
Looking at his back, "I'm sorry, you're a good person, and I'm afraid I can't pay it back if you have too much grace." ”
In this world, the best thing to repay is money debts, and the most difficult thing to repay is human debts.
She is in debt and struggling to survive, she does not have too much time to part, let alone the capital of sadness, every minute and every second is crucial.
She was not idle for a moment, in addition to going up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs, she also came back every day with some humus under the trees.
I bought night incense from poured night incense, mixed it with humus, made some straw and straw, added and fermented according to a certain proportion.
I also caught some earthworms, got some animal feces, and added straw to provide sufficient conditions for the reproduction of earthworms.
Let them be on that barren land, slowly improving the soil quality there over time, and Mu Lingshu can grow crops.
But until then, she'll have to survive the wait.
The wild mushrooms in the mountains after the rain inspired her, and cultivating mushrooms may be a way out.
She turned on the furnace again and made herself a few test tubes.
Potatoes, agar, water, pot, oyster mushrooms, test tubes are ready, and the medium is started.
The first time I started to do the mother seed culture of mushrooms, I was still a little nervous.
After all, the high-temperature disinfection here does not have such good conditions, although he can guarantee this, but he always feels that it is not so reliable.
I don't know who opened a lock and stuck himself, and he ran out of energy at every turn...... Well, can't trust him too much.
Alas~~
There is no other choice but to believe in him!
"Xiaobai, can you really grow mushrooms?"
"It's up to you, no way. With me, it will be done. ”
"If you can't plant it, you'll have to pay me."
"It's also your problem that you can't plant it, and there's nothing you can't do if you don't want to do it."
What's so arrogant, isn't it just a storage that can stand still like time, with an encyclopedia book, you're just an artificial intelligence, a voice encyclopedia, and it's quite expensive with few functions.
People are stupid and more functional than you, and they are not as arrogant as you.
"She's better than me."
"People can travel through time and space at any time, what about you, can, just one-way crossing, and then irresponsibly throw people here, self-reliance, you should survive in the wild."
"People can take lies."
"She can't store things."
"People can fly."
"She can't store things."
"People have a medical function."
"She can't store things."
……
Yes, she can't store things, you can get your hands on a storage function, the only practical value.
Xi Shaobai changed the topic, pointed to the oyster mushroom in her hand and asked: "This is not rare and can't be sold for much money, you obviously have a better choice, and shiitake mushrooms are not bad, why don't you choose shiitake mushrooms." ”
The reason why she chose oyster mushrooms is that she has thought about it again and again, oyster mushrooms are not precious here, and there are also artificially cultivated ones, even if she makes a little money because of this, she will not arouse people's jealousy and rob money.
If it is a shiitake mushroom, although there is also a method of planting basswood, the amount can be small, and it is also something that can only be enjoyed by wealthy families.
If she chooses this, it is still dangerous, there is no safety from oyster mushrooms, and she is just practicing to see if she can cultivate a qualified mother species.
"You're not smart and cute, and you know everything, you can't understand this little thing."
"I'm giving you a chance to make you stinky and beautiful, I'm afraid that staying with someone as smart and cute as me and knowing everything for a long time will hit your self-confidence too much."
"If you don't know how to go, don't get in the way of my experiments."
Mu Lingshu followed what was written in the book and started the experiment seriously.
If you understand it, whether you can succeed is another matter, and the experiment is still a very rigorous thing.
I no longer pay attention to the cherishing of Shaobai, and concentrate on practice.
