[100 meters away from the target plant]

Gu Lan resisted the surprise in her heart, followed the guidance of the panel, and opened a bush, and sure enough, she found a large area of blue-green plants.

She hurriedly cut the vegetation next to her with an iron sickle and began to dig cassava.

In the previous life, Gu Lan had a friend who started a bubble tea shop and needed cassava to make pearls, so Gu Lan also learned about this magical plant.

Known as the king of starch, cassava is extremely productive and nutritious, and if this large area is cassava, they will never go hungry again!

Gu Lan used a sickle to cut through the soil, and after spending a lot of effort, she finally saw a muddy red rhizome, she cut the skin, revealing the white cassava flesh inside, and tears almost rushed out.

Gu Lan suppressed the excitement in her heart and began to dig cassava, while still thinking about things in her heart.

Although finding cassava can solve the food crisis in winter, cassava is poisonous, and the process before eating it is very troublesome and takes a long time.

Until then, she still needs to find other food to keep her stomach in.

Gu Lan pulled up the panel as she dug it, and the search function on it turned gray again.

At the same time, because of the discovery of cassava, Gu Lan gained 50 points, and the deficit of points was 950.

Well, it's already a good result, and as long as they can survive without starving to death before the cassava is processed, their lives will get better and better.

In the autumn jungle, the temperature gradually rose, and Gu Lan was tired and sweaty because of the long hours of work, and her stomach began to rumble again.

She sat slumped on the ground, with at least a hundred catties of cassava piled up beside her.

That's enough for the time being, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to transport the cassava down the mountain.

Gu Lan rested for a while, rubbed her stomach, and began to put cassava in the back basket.

Fifty catties is her limit, filling a basket of cassava, Gu Lan gritted her teeth and found a branch to support her and go down the mountain.

The road into the mountain was quite safe, but from time to time there would be a few noises from the grass, and it was not until the mountain came down that Gu Lan's heart was stable.

She constantly warned herself that this was not a modern time, but an ancient time where there were really wild beasts eating people.

"Lan Lan!"

Li Dani was mowing pigweed, and when she saw Gu Lan's figure, she hurriedly ran over.

"I just went to your house to ask you for a sickle, why aren't you at home?"

Without a sickle, Li Dani went home and was scolded, and today she still came out to cut pigweed, and was ordered to use her hands without a sickle.

In a few moments, her hands were cut by the pigweed and bled out.

Gu Lan naturally noticed, and she looked at Li Dani apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Dani, I didn't return the scythe to you in time when I went up the mountain."

"What? How dare you go up the mountain! Li Dani took the sickle handed over by Gu Lan, and only then did she notice the mud on the sickle.

There was also a big basket full of things in the basket behind Gu Lan.

Li Dani's eyes slowly widened, and she suddenly raised her voice and said, "Lan Lan, you're crazy!" It's kudzu! Poisonous, is it possible that you want to eat it? ”

People who live at the foot of the mountain naturally know this plant, and some people used to be hungry and ate kudzu, and the result was that the whole family went to the west together, and they didn't come back.

Later, everyone knew that this kind of thing looked like it could fill the stomach, but if you eat it, it will kill you.

Li Dani said, and was about to pick up the back basket behind Gu Lan, "No, you can't eat it, you will die if you eat it!" ”

Gu Lan couldn't cry or laugh, she naturally had a way to deal with the toxicity of cassava, but in the eyes of Li Dani and others, it is estimated that she is desperate and wants to commit suicide, right?

She hurriedly explained: "Dani, don't worry, I have a way to make it taste non-poisonous." ”

"And I really can't help it."

Li Dani's movements stopped, she didn't believe Gu Lan said that she could make cassava not poisonous, but she also knew the predicament Gu Lan was facing.

It's a pity that she can't help Gu Lan.

Seeing that Li Dani no longer dissuaded, Gu Lan sighed in her heart, maybe everyone is kind in their hearts, but it is in the way of survival......

Kindness is reserved for those who have spare power.

Li Dani helped Gu Lan carry a basket of cassava home, there was a stream behind Gu Lan's house, and they took water from here on weekdays, and the mountain spring water left on the mountain was quite clean.

Gu Lan soaked the cassava downstream, saving the matter of changing the water.

Li Dani glanced around, and left two handfuls of wild vegetables for Gu Lan before leaving.

After she left, Zhu'er and Liang'er rushed over and checked Gu Lan over and over again: "Sister, you have entered the mountain!" ”

"It's all right! Have you ever encountered a big bug? ”

Gu Lan was helpless, "If you encounter a big worm, you won't be able to see me." ”

She doesn't have any other golden fingers other than a mountain-driving system.

Gu Lan put away the wild vegetables given by Li Dani, picked up the pheasant, and took her younger brothers and sisters to Old Man Shao's house.

Liang Er was astute, and felt that it was not good for pheasants to hang under the eaves during the day, for fear of attracting criticism, and deliberately hid them in the firewood.

Don't look at it, this is just a small action, but it saves Gu Lan a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, even Li Dani's side is not easy to explain.

Gu Lan is quite satisfied with the current situation, except for being very poor, her younger brothers and sisters are all angels!

Gu Lan and the four of them walked on the country road, you hold me, I lead you, Gu Lan explained to them how to eat cassava, as long as they do what she said, they won't be hungry this winter.

And Gu Lan can also use tapioca starch to make a lot of delicious food, pastries and pasta.

A lot of imagination made several children ignite hope for life.

They trusted Gu Lan very much, even if the tree was really poisonous, they were willing to accompany Gu Lan to eat it and get poisoned.

Finally arrived at the bamboo forest of Old Man Shao's house, and he was chopping firewood in the yard.

Different from Gu Lan's imagination, although Old Man Shao is a hunter, the living environment is very elegant and clean.

The bamboo hut looks like a hermit's place to live, and the kitchen is separated from the room by some distance, and there is even a corridor made of bamboo, on which air-dried meat is hung.

Several of the children looked up at the meat, staring intently.

Gu Lan returned the pheasant to Old Man Shao and said apologetically: "Grandpa Shao, I thought about it yesterday and thought it would be better to return the pheasant to you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, several children heard the sound of hunger in their stomachs.

Even Gu Lan is no exception.

Her face was slightly red.

Old man Shao laughed, he looked at Gu Lan and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you dissatisfied with my grandson? ”

How could Gu Lan say yes, she hurriedly shook her head and explained: "Grandpa Shao is kind-hearted, and his grandson will naturally not be far behind, but I don't want to exchange myself, I can't have both." ”

Whether it is freedom and dignity, or survival.

There is no final desperate situation, and Gu Lan doesn't know how she will choose.

But now, she felt that she was not at a desperate point.
