Chapter 90: A New Food Rations for Humanity (End)
Fei Qian beckoned Yun Ling, who was on the other side, to inform the rest of the people, if they met the same, let them not dig it, pour some water first, and see the situation before making a decision tomorrow.
Yun Ling waved her snake tail and reluctantly ran errands for Fei Qian. Ye Fan saw that she could slide out a few meters with a twist of her waist, and felt that Fei Qian's decision was very correct, if she relied on two legs, she might have finished digging long ago when she ran to the destination.
Here, Ye Fan and Fei Qian continued to walk cautiously in the terraces, and for fear of being scratched again, Ye Fan also specially made a pair of tall socks to put on his feet. On the other side, the sunspot who was in the after-sales group also found a biting rice plant on the mountain closest to Fei Qian and Ye Fan.
"Ouch!" Kuroko shouted, stretched out the cut hand in front of his eyes, and took a closer look, only to see a cut on the back of his hand from the base of the fingers of the little thumb to the wrist, and blood was oozing out. "What the hell!" Kuroko rubbed the back of his hand on his pants, squatted down to take a closer look, and saw a little blood stain on the leaves of a rice plant not far from his feet.
He grinned and wanted to reach out and pull up the rice plant to see what was going on, but the moment his hand touched the leaf, he was slashed by the other party again, this time with a spicy feeling, the painful sunspot grinned. "Hey! Little thing, grandpa, I have to pull you out today. After being scratched twice, Kuroko's temper also came up, and he was about to reach out again to pull out the + one + book + read + novel + ybdu rice that dared to drink his blood, but was stopped by Yun Ling, who swam over.
"Silly big man, don't pull it out!"
As soon as Kuroko heard someone behind him call him stupid, he turned around and wanted to refute, but when he saw that it was a snake girl, he swallowed what he really wanted to say. I don't know why, since I've seen how the snake girl eats, Kuroko has always been a little sorry for her. I remember that the day before yesterday she asked for a hemp bag, picked up the bats that fell on the ground, and then swallowed two of them from time to time in the car, just like going out to eat snacks. The appetite of the people who got a car was more or less reduced.
"Why can't you pull it out?" Kuroko asked stiffly.
Yun Ling stepped forward with a smile, she knew that the sunspot was a little afraid of her, and deliberately reached out to rub a handful on the sunspot's chin, but she didn't expect the sunspot to react very quickly, and when she raised her hand, she took a big step back, and accidentally fell into the field, and was taken by the rice plant to add another bloody wound.
Yun Ling smiled even more happily when she saw Kuroko's stupid appearance, "What a stupid big one." I don't know why you can't pull it out, anyway, it's the wooden face over there that asked me to inform you, and by the way, I have to pour some water. Remember to say hello to the skinny monkey over there. With that, he twisted his waist and swam to another mountain.
"Yo, Kuroko, what's wrong with you?" The thin monkey came down from some of the fields above, and saw Kuroko sitting on the ground and asked deliberately. He didn't miss that scene just now.
"Go, go! Side to go. Kuroko waved his hand in annoyance, signaling not to provoke him at this time.
The thin monkey was not angry, but secretly laughed at Kuroko. "What was she doing just now?"
"Fei Qian asked her to come and tell us not to pull it out when she sees something special, but also to pour some water." Kuroko got up from the ground and glanced hatefully at the rice plant that had absorbed his own blood into the green and yellow leaves, and seemed to be more energetic. "How's it going over there? I've found something that drinks human blood. Kuroko pointed and said.
The thin monkey looked along Kuroko's hand, and sure enough, he saw a rice plant with bloody leaves, "What is this, you come with me." I'm the one there. ”
When Kuroko heard it, what was even more evil? Immediately became interested, quickly took out the kettle to rinse the wound, and by the way, watered the rice that bit him, "Grandpa will feed you some more blood, let you be happy, and come to clean you up tomorrow." ”
Kuroko followed the thin monkey for a short distance and came to a zombie lying in a field, and deduced from the fact that he was still holding a rusty scythe in his hand, which should be the owner of the field.
"How? Worse than you, isn't it? He pointed to the half-man-tall rice tree next to the zombie and said, "Look at its ears, they are like ping-pong balls." ”
Kuroko rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "This is good, if you can eat this, it would be good to cook a few in one meal." "The rice plant next to the corpse grew particularly well, and the heavy ears pressed the thick pole with five fingers together, and it was very pleasing to look at one by one.
"You say, will it also suck blood? You see how well it grows next to a corpse. Kuroko asked after being excited, looking at the crystal orchid on this corpse obviously not as good as the other corpses, Kuroko suspected that it was this corpse that nourished this rice so strongly, and he was a little sick to his stomach for a while.
The thin monkey silently chin and laughed evilly, "Well, I don't know." Why don't we try it? As he spoke, he didn't wait for Kuroko to react, and directly took his hand and touched it on the rice.
"Ahh What are you doing! Kuroko was so frightened that he pulled back the hand that had just touched the blade, "If you want to try it yourself, why do you try it with my hand." ”
"Hehe, isn't your hand more fragrant, or how did the three openings on your hand come about?"
"You!"
"Hehe, okay, okay, don't be so careful, you see, I haven't been scratched again." The thin monkey saw that Kuroko had a tendency to blush, and hurriedly said, by the way, he also touched it with his own hand, and it really didn't get scratched.
Kuroko is playing tricks on his mind, even if he doesn't add up to ten, he may not be able to beat one of the thin monkeys, and he no longer talks nonsense with the thin monkeys at the moment, and runs to the mountain where Fei Qian and them are to report the situation.
Fei Qian and Ye Fan found two more strains of that kind of biting rice after Yun Ling left, in fact, this discovery is not surprising, because the agricultural production base in the base also appeared this kind of rice after the accident, but in the end they did not survive.
"Is this thing reliable? Even if you can eat it, you can't feed it with blood later, right? I guess it's not us who eats it, it's it that eats us. Ye Fan was a little worried and took out water to water the rice that was about to die.
"So I'm going to stay here for two days. First, we can see if the condition of these rice will get better after watering, and if so, it means that there is still value for planting, if not, we will let them fend for themselves here. Second, these mountains can also be turned in the past two days, and the farmer family will always focus on other things besides rice. "It's not humble.
While speaking, the sunspot who ran from the nearby hill had already arrived, "Feiqian, hurry, go and take a look." We found a rice sapling that looked like a small tree, and the ears on it were as big as a ping-pong ball, and some of them could catch up with a big duck's egg. Kuroko gasped.
Fei Qian and Ye Fan's eyes lit up after hearing what Heizi said, and they hurriedly followed to the mountain next to them. When the three of them ran as fast as they could to see the rice plant, Fei Qian rarely showed a very obvious smile.
"Wow, this can't be called rice anymore." Ye Fan circled around the mutated rice twice, and its appearance was still the same as rice, but it was magnified many times. Rice does not produce as much as ordinary rice, but it is many times larger than a grain of rice. Unlike the yellow rice in the field, the color of this plant is golden yellow, which means that the color of the harvest should be ripe.
"What do you think Old Man Yuan would have to do if he saw you bring this back?" Ye Fan touched Fei Qian's shoulder and asked, although Ye Fan was not as familiar with Old Man Yuan as Fei Qian, he also knew that he was an old child. Do things in a hurry, and talk nonsense. But people are very reliable, and things are done beautifully. The important thing is that Old Man Yuan is really good at farming.
"I guess he'll have to rip off half of his little beard." Fei Qian said as he observed.
Ye Fan imagined that scene for a moment, and laughed out loud. Old man Yuan likes to touch his beard and speak, in his words, he looks cultured. But others like to be excited, so when they are often talking to others, they will pull out a few of their beards when they get excited.
"We've tried it, and it doesn't bite." Heizi saw that Fei Qian was just looking, and did not reach out to touch it, thinking that Fei Qian was afraid of being bitten, so he hurriedly said.
"Really? I thought it would bite. Ye Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to the root of the rice to signal everyone to look there, there were several tentacles that had reached into the corpse of the zombie, and I don't know how many of them had reached into the underground. Even if you don't bite, you definitely don't get nutrients from the corpse. ”
Fei Qian looked at it, and most of the smile on his face disappeared.
"What are you going to do?" Ye Fan looked at Fei Qian and said, "Can't we drag the dead zombie corpses outside back to the base in the future, and then chop and chop and chop all to make fertilizer for this rice, right?" ”
The sunspot on the side vomited unconsciously when he heard Ye Fan say this. The thin monkey slapped him on the back and said, "Your brother, why are you so squeamish?" How clean do you think the food you used to eat was? It's not something that comes out of the pit and feeds it. There is no thatched pit, and the dishes are not watery. ”
"Go! Can that be the same? I've never seen anyone grow vegetables in a cemetery! Kuroko knew that the thin monkey must be deliberately disgusting him, so he replied without showing weakness.
"Okay, don't argue, it's still undecided." Fei Qian stopped the two people who wanted to continue arguing, and looked at Sun Dao, who was about to disappear completely, "Let's go back first, and come back tomorrow." ”
By the time everyone returned to the base camp, it was already completely dark, and the mountains would not be pitch black without electricity, and the stars and moon in the sky provided enough light that as long as it was not night blindness, it would not be tripped over a latrine or something. The base camp that Ye Fan and the others chose today is a farmhouse relatively close to the entrance of the village, which seems to have been used as an inn for a long time, and has set up a small wooden building with a hall on the first floor, and guest rooms on the second and third floors. It can accommodate nearly 30 people in total. The owner of the farmhouse is gone, but the rice in the rice jar is still there.
"It's a good meal, you can have a good meal today." Wang Meng didn't know where to get two kerosene lamps, but after lighting them, they were barely enough. When he found that there were potatoes and sweet potatoes in the vegetable patch in the backyard, his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head, and after consulting Yun Ling and Feiqian's opinions, he excitedly began to make roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes. I don't know if it's because I haven't received much radiation here or for some other reason, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes in one place are actually good in the field, although they are a little small because no one takes care of them, but it's better than nothing.
After Yun Ling confirmed that she could eat it, Mu Jingzhi led someone to dig up the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the field, and even went to other backyards in the dark after dinner, as if they would be gone if they went to dig again tomorrow.
Ye Fan took the sweet potato that Wang Meng had just baked, stood at the door and looked at the dozens of white points of light in the darkness, and said to Fei Qian, who was standing behind him, "Isn't it quite beautiful?" It's a pity that the light of death was then. ”
The crystal orchid is not only white and clear, but also emits a faint shimmer at night, which is very beautiful in the dark environment, which is why some people specially planted crystal orchids before the end of the world, in terms of appearance, crystal orchids are indeed beautiful flowers.
"There is life and death, and life can be endless." Fei Qian took the sweet potato in Ye Fan's hand, carefully peeled her skin and said, "But I'm really interested in that crystal orchid." Zombies and humans decay quickly after death, that's what we all know. But you see, the zombies that nourished the crystal orchid were not only not corrupted, some were even alive. ”
"So?"
"So I think they're worth looking into, maybe they can build a line of defense for the base." Fei Qian smiled and handed the peeled sweet potato in his hand to Ye Fan.
"You can discuss it with Wang Meng, if he agrees with you to bring one back, I have no opinion." Ye Fan turned out to be a sweet potato with an attractive aroma and said, "Anyway, the thousand-year-old corpse has been pretended, and I don't care about pretending this." ”
"You two, don't show your affection at the door?" Mu Jingzhi, who came back with someone carrying a lot of things, happened to see Fei Qian helping Ye Fan peel it.
"You can choose not to watch it." Fei Qian clapped his hands and said indifferently, in his heart, he thought that Mu Jingzhi was purely jealous. "Can you not move things like a thief at night? We're going to be here for two more days. You have a lot of time to move. ”
Mu Jingzhi said with a smile, as if he had a point, "Only what you get your hands on is your own, right?" ”
Fei Qian stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Fan and said, "That's the same." Tomorrow morning we'll continue to look at the fields, and we'll probably be done. After that, go to the top of the mountain, where it looks like some chestnuts have been planted, you can go and see it. ”
"Really?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up when he heard the chestnuts, as if the fragrant sugar-fried chestnuts had already been obtained, "You must go and see it!" If there's anything alive, dig them all up! ”
Maybe God has mercy on the human beings living in dire straits, after two days, Mu Jingzhi and Feiqian led people to completely sweep the entire village, and the harvest is really not small. Not to mention that the farmers originally had more grain than the people in the city, the potatoes and sweet potatoes dug up in recent days were enough to surprise people, not to mention the chestnuts that I saw on the top of the mountain the next day.
Ye Fan rushed to the top of the mountain with a group of people, because the top of the mountain was not like the terraced fields below, which were withered and yellow. The number on the top of the mountain is still green, so Ye Fan feels that there is a great hope that he can see chestnuts. Sure enough, when everyone reached the top of the mountain, small green furballs were growing on the trees very happily. It's not time for chestnuts to ripen, but having those little hairballs means having chestnuts!
"Great!" Perhaps the trees are much more viable than the rice that needs to be tended, and the chestnut trees are not very affected in the same dry environment. Ye Fan picked up a stone and threw it over, and found that the chestnut tree did not reflect, and then she threw the "Hao Rabbit" that Ah Xiang had just caught back in the morning, and everyone dared to approach after there was still no response.
"Kuroko! Tomorrow, as long as there are hairballs on them, they will be dug back, you know? Otherwise, you won't let Ah Xiang give you meat to eat in the future! Ye Fan threatened. Chestnut trees are very easy to feed and are monoecious, so it is a good choice to plant them in the base.
"Got it, Grandma." Heizi said helplessly, now everyone here knows that Ye Fan and Feiqian are a couple, and no one dares to offend her. There is Fei Qian, Ye Fan asked these people to go east, and they will never look west.
"That's good." After receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Fan ran back to the mountainside in a hurry, she wanted to tell Fei Qian the good news quickly. At this time, Fei Qianzheng and Mu Jingzhi went to find a suitable container for each family.
"What are you looking for?" Ye Fan found Mu Jingzhi and Feiqian in a farmhouse.
"Find something to dig back those rice tomorrow, it will take at least half a month to go back this way, I don't know if I can live after simply pulling it out and bringing it back, if I die, Old Man Yuan can find me desperately." Fei Qian said with a smile, took a flower pot with flowers still planted, pulled out the flowers inside, and continued, "Look, if you have this thing, you are not afraid that they will die." ”
Ye Fan imagined that when he returned to the base, he held two flower pots in his hands, and there were biting rice planted in them, and he felt that the scene was very weird.
"How's your chestnut?" Mu Jingzhi also found a wine jar, thinking it was empty, and only after picking it up did he know that there was still something inside, and when he unsealed the lid, a smell of wine came out.
"We've got chestnuts to eat this fall!" Ye Fan said happily, and looked at the wine jar in Mu Jingzhi's hand again, "You don't want to pour the wine and take the jar away, right?" ”
"Do I look like that?" Mu Jingzhi pouted unhappily and said. I went on to look for flower pots elsewhere.
This time they had a really big gain, and they nodded before leaving two days later. Twenty or so mutated rice, a dozen chestnut trees, and a dozen sacks of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Coupled with the collection of a little bit of knowledge and west on the road, the military card is almost unloadable. In the end, there was an extra bus parked at the foot of the hill and in the parking lot to load everything back.
None of the people in this team knew how to farm, and they were afraid that something would go wrong if they delayed for too long, and most of them got on the bus, and after taking all the gasoline in the parking lot, they were not afraid to turn on the air conditioning. So everyone hurried back to the base with all the time, and finally rushed back to the base within a month.
