Chapter 10: Reality! (Part II)
Before, Mu En felt that the strange plant was very familiar, but at that time, he was not sure of his location, so he didn't think much about it, and when he came back to his senses, he recognized what the plant that made him feel familiar was. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
That's lettuce!
Lettuce, with its reddish-brown rhizomes and gecko-like vines, produces large, moderately numerous, round fruits at the roots that are edible. In fact, in the case of peace, this kind of thing is only food for domestic animals, and normal people, even poor peasants, generally do not eat it.
This is something that is common in the dream world, but it is extremely incredible in Muen's eyes. Once in a dream, after Mu En escaped in possession mode, he studied it carefully when he was bored, but the surprise was even more later.
Lettuce has more than twice the yield of potatoes, has a stronger vitality than leeks, can be sown by dandelion methods, but has the adaptability of cacti, whether it is a glacier or a swamp, even a flaming mountain pass.
This is definitely a dominant plant, but without the formation of species oppression, because almost all omnivores can feed on lettuce.
Even more peculiar, his fruit, buried deep in the ground, is normally reddish-brown in the shape of a potato, with a slightly sweet taste, and can be eaten by both domestic animals and humans. But in fact, this is not actually a ripe fruit, and the real ripe lettuce is golden yellow and round.
If reddish-brown lettuce is the staple food of domestic animals and street children, then golden lettuce is the food that nobles buy at a high price. Nutritious, aromatic and tasteful. Its price is as high as one to three gold guilders per piece, and it is still priceless.
Some scholars once counted that the ripening ratio of reddish-brown lettuce to golden lettuce is 10,000 to 1, that is to say, only one out of tens of thousands of reddish-brown lettuce will mature and become a golden lettuce that everyone wants.
And in Muen's many dreams, he had only seen golden lettuce once, which was possessed by a fleeing farmer, because of the escape, the farmer's family died, and only he and his young daughter fled to the refugee camp outside Soros.
It was at that time that because of the farmer's strong unwillingness to protect his daughter, Mu En possessed the farmer, and he was lucky to dig up a golden lettuce, but the result was not good, because of this golden lettuce, because he did not determine the value of this golden lettuce, he died in the hands of other refugees, and was beaten to death.
Seriously, the world is still in a slave and agrarian society, and the productivity is naturally extremely poor, but except in rare cases, there are very few things that starve people to death, and this is the credit of lettuce.
Of course, in rare cases, such as plagues, natural disasters, and now in the case of all-out war. A large number of refugees will take their families with them, abandon everything and flee inland, and they will eat everything in their path. At this time, even if there is more lettuce, it is not enough.
However, these are not what Mu En needs to think about now, he stared at the pearl lettuce, and his saliva unconsciously flowed. There was so much strenuous exercise that the hunger signals from my stomach were almost numb.
Looking left and right, Mu En wanted to find a tool for digging, but unfortunately the lonely wasteland was really not called in vain, except for the fang-shaped stone that was the fang-shaped stone, however, he found another thing he brought back from that world - a sledgehammer.
The square sledgehammer was lying on the ground covered with dirt, but the wooden handle was broken in half, one section did not know where it went, and the other section was set on the head of the hammer, and an oval label was attached to it, and the words "Hongqi brand hammer" could be clearly seen.
Feeling the bleak and lonely environment around him, and then looking at the label in the cold wind, Mu En suddenly had a funny feeling. Pacing to the hammer, he grabbed the broken handle, and picked up the hammer with all his strength, but the scene of 'digging' lettuce with the hammer flashed in his head, and suddenly a kind feeling came.
Well, it's still unreliable to 'dig' lettuce with a hammer. Eventually, Muen struck off a fanged stone with a hammer and then dug up the lettuce with a spiked stone.
The lonely wasteland is very strange, as long as you are in it, there is a feeling of barrenness, and the soil of the wasteland is also very hard, and the root system of lettuce is also extremely deep, Mu En spent a lot of strength, and finally pulled up a lettuce, holding the foundation of lettuce, looking at the more than ten fruits below, he had a sense of accomplishment after labor.
Without fire, you can't make roasted lettuce. Without pots and pans, boiling lettuce is also unrealistic. The most important thing is that you can't even find water, and you can't do the simplest cleaning. Well, there is only a pair of underwear for clothes, and it is impossible to wipe it, and in the end, Mu En can only simply wipe the lettuce as clean as possible with his hands, and ignore the small soil, and directly hold and gnaw it.
Although some of the soil is gnashing, the taste of lettuce is still good, it feels like gnawing on a radish, with the crispness of a radish, but not as spicy as a radish, a little sweet, and more importantly, a lot of water, which can not only fill hunger, but also quench thirst.
Mu En was still thinking while eating, if he brought this back to the earth to be planted and put on the market as a new fruit, the benefits were estimated to be good, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to make money by controlling the output and doing hunger marketing. I won't change the name, lettuce will be called.
Thinking about it, Mu En's snot and tears came down unconsciously, yes, the earth!
After nibbling on three lettuces in a row, his stomach began to be full, Mu En finally cleaned up his mood, he was still eating, but his movements began to slow down, and he began to chew and swallow slowly. If you look closely, you can find that he closed his eyes, felt a little bit of extension, and the surroundings were reflected in his mind little by little, carefully looking for something in the dark space......
The impact of coming to this world just now was too great, and now that he calmed down, he suddenly realized that if he was because of the black rift, could he find the black rift again now and go back???
After thinking of this possibility, he couldn't wait to enter the perceptual space, and this time he unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a different existence in the dozens of other lettuce trees buried deep in the ground, and it seemed to be ...... Golden lettuce.
But this was not what he wanted, and he searched for a long time, no, no, until he couldn't maintain his senses, he still didn't find the existence that was supposed to be a pitch-black rift.
No dark cracks were found, and Mu En's way home was already cut off. However, perhaps because of the continuous blows, Mu En has begun to accept the reality, and without too much sadness, he begins to think about the path he wants to take.
(Even if I can't go back, my parents definitely want me to live well, so now I'm going to work hard for me to live.) )
(If you follow the memories in the dream, the lonely wasteland should be the junction of the Lancôme city-state and the northeast of the Soros city-state, it seems to be too barren, even if there is a full-scale war now, but it seems to be concentrated in the northwest direction of Soros, my best choice now is to go to Lancôme city-state in the northeast, or to go to the city-state of Soros in the southeast.) This should allow you to avoid the battlefield as much as possible. But what about that city-state?)
(Well, it's still the city-state of Soros!!) After all, the dreams are all in that direction, and I still know a little more about geography and customs.) The main thing now is to quietly integrate into the world while ensuring safety. Don't let anyone find out who I'm a traverser, otherwise, the result won't be clear. If you are possessed as a ghast or something, you will be burned to death!)
(Let's go southeast first, and when I'm out of the Lonely Wasteland, I should be able to come across the villages of the Soros city-state, which are almost all deserted by now in the war.) When the time comes, find a change of clothes and pretend to be a farmer who has escaped the famine!)
(If it's usually troublesome.,Now there shouldn't be any household registration in this situation.,It should be easier to mix into the desert escape team.,Then,Go with the flow and adapt to the new environment.,By the way,Review the Viku language more on the way.,I didn't feel like I used it before.,I didn't expect it to be used now.。 )
(But even if the war ended, the peasants who fled the famine were more likely to be captured as slaves, and if that were the case, it would be better to die.) By the way, it seems that the town of Changhu is also north of the city-state of Soros, and there is the thing I left behind, and it is not hidden in a dream, whether it is true or false, if it is true, if you get that kind of thing, maybe survival is really guaranteed. )
(However, it seems that Changhu Town belongs to the war zone, and when the time comes, it is really hard to say whether it will be dead or alive, should it be a gamble?)
(If you win, you really have the foundation for survival and the possibility of controlling your own destiny.) You can also taste the long-cherished wish and truly experience the power of the world's professionals. If you lose, everything will naturally be over, and you will be clean when you die!)
(In the end, to bet or not to gamble???)
Life is like that rape, if you can't resist, then you have to learn to enjoy it.
At this time, Mu En felt that this sentence was too right, he couldn't go back now, and he could only plan the future little by little, and at this time, the strange and boring knowledge in the previous dreams came in handy, such as geographical location, such as language, and for example, I don't know if it is true or false. And he can't plan far now, but he always has a goal.
Determining the direction, Mu En's thoughts began to return, but suddenly, his hairs stood up, as if some terrible threat appeared, his muscles tensed, and he suddenly turned to look, and saw a beast that was bowing down and quietly advancing dozens of meters away.
That's a wolf, a Capricorn wolf......
