Chapter 102: Desolation
Before you know it, the firewood picked up from the ground has filled the roof of the car, and all kinds of food are stored in Zhao's space.
Even if they failed to replenish supplies in Fuzhou as they wished, and they had no money and no land, they had enough materials to collect along the way, which was enough for their family to eat for a long time.
For a while, the life of the Su family returned to the way it was before joining the desert escape team, regular and boring.
Although boring, boring also means safe and calm.
Su Bu thought that it would be good if it could be boring all the time, at least there would be no danger.
——
On this day, after the Su family was tired from traveling, they found a place with their backs against the boulders and prepared to rest before continuing.
This boulder is big and smooth, which can not only block the wind, but also block the carriage, which is very suitable for stationing and repairing, so Su Yuanshan parked the carriage there.
After the carriage stopped, Su Buwei in the carriage was the first to jump out of the car, helping Su Buyi outside the carriage to get firewood on the roof of the car, and raised a high fire next to the carriage.
At the same time, they also carefully piled the remaining wet firewood on the roof next to the fire for drying and convenient use next time.
Su Yuanshan carefully put away the map, put it on his chest, and then went with Zhao to look for food near the station.
With the rules of searching for materials taught by the refugees in the previous desert escape team, as well as the marks on the map, the Su family now has a new understanding of the materials under the eternal night.
And these valuable experiences are all learned from others.
So, it's not without its benefits to go with a desert escape team.
Su Bu was surprised to see that her family had found something to do, and she was not to be outdone, grabbing the horse to trim its hair that had become longer.
Strange to say, this horse's hair doesn't know how to grow, and it has to be trimmed again after four or five rests, otherwise its hair will cover its eyes and affect its walking.
Su Bujing carefully cut the excessively long hair, and then put it all into the Immortal Mansion.
Now that the hair in the immortal mansion has been piled up one person high, Su Bujing is ready to ask the Zhao family to give her some needlework cloth, she has to find a time to learn to make blankets, and stuff these hairs into it when they are ready.
After harvesting the hair, Su Bujing took another pill for the horse to eat.
Seeing the horse's energetic neighing, Su Bu touched the horse's head with satisfaction.
Then, Su Bu went around to the back of the carriage, bit his index finger, and drew a reinforcement formation with blood following the memory of the formation in his previous life.
After the formation was completed, it glowed slightly with a white-gold light, and then dimmed, only to see the formation slowly seep into the carriage and disappear.
Subsequently, Su Bujing and Su Buxian in the car carefully checked the lower compartment and found that no insects ran in.
Su Bu sighed in surprise: It seems that that piece of jade is quite effective, much more useful than realgar powder and the like!
Su Buwei and Su Buwei got out of the car to help Su Buwei light the fire, and Su Buwei was able to boil water and cook with his hands free.
During this time, the meals eaten by the family were basically made by Su Buwei, and his skills improved a lot.
Moreover, Su Bu is not only interested in strange ingredients, and whenever he has time, he will study how to make dishes delicious, and every novel ingredient will make his eyes shine.
This time too.
Su Buwei skillfully picked up the small pot in the carriage and put it on the fire, then knocked a piece of ice from the roof of the carriage and stuffed it into the pot.
After the ice slowly melted and boiled, Su Buwei used his sword to string ten green and shiny mud-like fruits, and asked Su Buyi to pour hot water for him to pour on the fruits.
Su Buyi did as he was told, and the moment the hot water was poured on the fruit, the already green fruit became even greener, and even faintly glowed green.
"Alright, alright! Big brother, the fruit is ripe and ready to eat! Su Buwei said happily.
Su Bu, who was watching from the sidelines, was surprised to see this, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Although he had seen it many times, every time he saw this green and glowing sticky fruit, Su Buxi would still be speechless.
It looks really disgusting!
But who would have thought that such an ugly-looking fruit could not only keep you warm, but also take care of your eyes!
Now it has become a must-eat dish for their family.
Su Buwei picked up the sword like a sugar gourd with a string, and took the lead in picking off the top two and handed them to Su Bushu, "Sister, you eat first, it's comfortable for your eyes!" ”
Su Buzhen was disgusted, the movements in his hands were not hypocritical, and he took it with both hands and gnawed.
Although the fruit looks soft and rotten, the taste is very hard, which tests people's teeth, and they can't bite at all if they have a bad mouth.
Just when Su Bu was gnawing in shock, Su Buwei picked four more fruits and placed them properly next to the fire.
This is for Su Yuanshan and Zhao, who went out to find supplies, two for each person.
"Big brother, you really don't want to eat?" Su Buwei looked at Su Buyi and said.
"I really don't need it, you just give my share to my sister and younger brother." Su Buyi looked at the green fruit, his eyes full of rejection.
Su Bujing thought while gnawing: Big brother must think that this thing doesn't look good, so he didn't eat it.
In the end, Su Buwei gave Su Buwei the share that Su Buyi gave her, and Su Buwei and Su Buwei frowned and ate the fruit as if they were drinking medicine for their own eyes.
After eating, Su Yuanshan and Zhao, who had gone out to look for supplies, also came back, but their hands were empty.
What's going on?
Su Bujing and the others stepped forward suspiciously, "Daddy, Auntie, why did you return empty-handed this time?" Is it a refugee who has been robbed? ”
Su Yuanshan shook his head bitterly and sighed, "It's okay if it's robbed!" We walked all the way and didn't find anything to eat. ”
"Not to mention the food, I haven't found a single dead branch that used to be everywhere!"
Zhao's eyes sank slightly, and then said: "Moreover, we also found a frozen river before, and we thought that we could finally replenish our water source, but when we got closer, we realized that the glacier had been dug to the bottom, and we didn't see a single piece of ice!" ”
When Su Bu and the others heard this, they were so stunned that they almost exclaimed.
There was no water, no food, no branches to make a fire!
"Then this fire..."Su Buxian had been sitting in the car, so he thought that the fire was burned by picking up branches outside.
Su Buwei rolled his eyes and explained helplessly: "Of course, it's the inventory of our car roof." ”
Su Buwu: ... Oh.
Su Buxing casually touched Su Buxian's forehead, stared at the blazing flames without blinking, thought about it and said:
"This should be a normal situation, you think, now Fuzhou is like that... You've seen it too. If there are surviving people in Fuzhou, it will be impossible for them to settle next to the Tiandong, they will definitely have to escape! ”
"There are also some people who went south to Baozhou before us... Wasn't this picture drawn by those people? There were so many people who had to eat and drink along the way, and it was only natural that the food around them was eaten up. ”
Su Buyi smiled and said: "Our family follows the path that others have walked, so naturally we can only pick up other people's leftover things to use." ”
"But it's good news, and it proves that we're not on the wrong path this time!"
