Chapter 37: Breakfast
After the two of them got away from here, they found another house that seemed safe to rest, and threw the shelter grass on their bodies on the ground. Jiang Yunlan saw that a lot of shelter grass had fallen on Zhao Chuling's road, and there was not much grass to make the bed, so he gave her half of his grass.
Zhao Chuling didn't refuse, and said with a red face: "Thank you, aren't you cold?" โ
"I'm a man, I'm rough and thick-skinned, I've long been used to this kind of life, you're different, a little more will be more comfortable, and if you rest, you'll have the energy tomorrow." Jiang Yunlan sat cross-legged on her thin grass bed.
Zhao Chuling looked at Jiang Yunlan, thinking of the scene just now, his face suddenly turned red again, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he never said it.
After eating some fruit to fill their stomachs, the two of them sat here cross-legged and practiced for a few hours, and then they each lay down to sleep in the second half of the night.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Yunlan still habitually got up before five o'clock, and the temperature was the lowest in early winter, about minus 2 degrees. He quietly got up and walked out of here, looking outside for food. There are only two kinds of food that can be found in such an environment, the fruit of plants or the meat of Warcraft, but Warcraft are generally very strong, while weak Warcraft basically live in groups, so the possibility of hunting is very low.
Plant fruits are the main food source for scavengers, and it is difficult to distinguish between life and death fruits at this time, so what he is looking for this time is another mushroom that grows in a humid environment, called corpse fungus, which looks ugly and emits a foul smell, and no wild beast will eat this kind of thing.
This smell is just a means for the corpse fungus to protect itself, and if it is boiled in water, it will quickly melt away and turn into a delicious soup, which is very nutritious.
Corpse fungi generally grow in dark and damp locations at the foot of big trees, and it is still very easy for Jiang Yunlan to find this, he used to go out with his father, and he was responsible for finding food around the temporary shelter that was established.
Zhao Chuling was woken up by a fragrance, she hadn't eaten hot food for several days, and suddenly smelled the smell of food boiling, which shocked her spirits, and she immediately secreted saliva in her mouth.
"Yun Lan, where did you get the food?" After last night, Zhao Chuling involuntarily called it more intimate in terms of title.
"I just found it outside, there is snow outside, collect some and boil it and there will be water." Jiang Yunlan took a wooden stick to stir the soup in the jar, and the fragrance made both of them hungry and gurgling.
Zhao Chuling immediately came over and squatted on the edge of the jar, who cares if the jar is clean now, filling the stomach is the most important thing, but this jar Jiang Yunlan has been washed, at least the inner wall is not dirty, anyway, there is snow outside, and there is no shortage of water.
About half an hour later, they drank the ceramic bowl they had found, and Zhao Chuling drank this food for the first time and said in surprise: "It tastes so good, what kind of soup is this?" โ
"A fungal plant, ugly on the outside, and very smelly, sometimes it will grow on corpses, so it is called corpse fungus, but after boiling, it will become very fragrant, the taste is good, and it is very nutritious." Jiang Yunlan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, she said it very normally, and took a sip.
Zhao Chuling's face turned green in an instant, and when she thought of growing out of the corpse, she vomited it out at once.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it sick? Jiang Yunlan hurriedly put her hand on Zhao Chuling's forehead, worried about a high fever or something, the most fearful thing in the wild is to get sick, medicine is very scarce, and there is nowhere to find it, even if you find medicine, it is 100% useless. This is a city 300 years ago, and there are ghosts when medicine can be used.
"It's okay, I just feel disgusting, this Iยทยท I can't eat it. Zhao Chuling said.
Jiang Yunlan took a moment before he realized what was going on and said: "Oh, I was negligent, corpse fungi only sometimes grow on corpses, I picked this at the foot of a big tree, you can drink it with confidence, if it is picked from a corpse, the color of the cooking will be milky white, I have a clear soup here." โ
"Ah, it scared the hell out of me." Zhao Chuling breathed a sigh of relief, continued to take a sip, and then said with a red face: "Am I not hypocritical, you risked your life to pick it up, and I still dislike it." โ
Jiang Yunlan laughed and said: "You think too much, the first time you eat this, many businessmen who follow us to receive the goods will vomit, not to mention you as a little girl." Actually, I tell you, I can't eat it on a corpse, although the taste is not extremely unpleasant, but it is disgusting and nausea, anyway, unless I want to starve to death, I won't eat it. โ
"That's it, hehe, Yun Lan, I can call you that." Zhao Chuling asked nervously.
"Of course, that's what my dad called me." Jiang Yunlan said with a smile.
"Thank you for being so good to me, except for my brother, you are the best person for me, you can call me Ling'er in the future, my family calls me that." Zhao Chuling said with a shy face.
"Okay, Ling'er. What about your mom and dad? Jiang Yunlan asked.
Speaking of family, Zhao Chuling's eyes were dim, and he said in a sad tone: "Dad only has the family in his eyes, his daughter is just a tool for diplomacy in his eyes, my mother died when I was very young, and I forgot what my mother looked like." โ
Seeing that Zhao Chuling was about to cry, Jiang Yunlan suddenly panicked and said, "Ah! That, this, don't be sad, at least you still have a brother and family, right, look at me, my father picked it up, I don't even know who my biological parents are, and I don't have brothers and sisters or anything, it's much better than me. โ
Seeing that Jiang Yunlan was anxious to coax herself, she burst out laughing and said, "Look at you, it's funny, don't worry, I'm fine, we have to become stronger together, graduate from the training camp together, I will find my brother and say sorry to him in person." โ
"Well, I'll protect my dad so that he can enjoy his old age in peace, and... Hmmmยทยท Nope. "Jiang Yunlan originally said to protect you, but unfortunately she was thin-skinned and couldn't say it.
Zhao Chuling actually looked forward to Jiang Yunlan being able to say something like being with him, but after seeing him look at himself, he didn't say anything, and he still felt a little lost in his heart.
After eating breakfast in this ambiguous and embarrassing atmosphere, Jiang Yunlan cleaned up the fire here, and then found the tallest building next to it to investigate the surrounding situation.
Although the semi-exploration area is very dangerous, after all, it has been wiped out by the army, and there are monsters left, so there will definitely not be too many. The two trotted all the way to a tall building and took out their binoculars to observe the surroundings.
After Jiang Yunlan looked around carefully, he showed the telescope to Zhao Chuling, he sat at the foot of the fence on the roof of the building and said: "When we came in, the four cars all got off at different positions, even if Liu Quan learned tracking skills, it was impossible to find us so quickly." โ
Zhao Chuling looked around curiously with the binoculars and said, "You mean that the instructor is helping him?" โ
