Chapter 103: The Forest
In the past, they did not lack food and drink on the road, mainly because they did not follow the path that other refugees had taken.
After all, the team went to Linzhou in the opposite direction at the beginning, Linzhou was remote, few people went, and wild vegetables and fruits grew wildly, so the supplies along the way continued.
When they found out that they were taking the wrong path, they immediately rushed to Fuzhou from the vicinity of Linzhou, once again perfectly avoiding the road that was traversed by a large number of refugees.
So before they set off for Baozhou, they didn't encounter a shortage of materials.
After listening to Su Bujing and Su Buyi's explanations, the family suddenly realized.
So that's it!
Su Yuanshan sighed abruptly and said, "Alas, since this is the case, then we don't have to stop collecting supplies in the future." ”
Zhao comforted bitterly: "It's okay, at least we don't have to stop delaying time, and the speed of going to Baozhou can be much faster." ”
There is no way, if you want to go to Baozhou, you have to take these roads and go through these tribulations.
Everyone had no choice but to accept this fact.
Fortunately, the family had the foresight to stock up on a lot of food and firewood.
Therefore, even if you can't find wild vegetables and other materials on the roadside next, it won't have much impact on the Su family.
No matter how bad the situation outside is, the meal still has to be eaten, adjust the mood, Zhao beckoned everyone to fill their stomachs.
Su Yuanshan and the Zhao family first ate the green fruits that Su Buwei left for them.
Then Zhao took out a pot of hot kidney bean hoof flower soup, a pot of steamed buns, and two plates of fragrant meat dishes from the space.
With the main course available, Zhao took out a plate of soft and delicate osmanthus cake as an after-dinner dessert.
These cooked dishes were bought by Zhao's natural disaster at the restaurant vendors, because they were stored in the space, and they have not been cold and spoiled until now.
Zhao Shi did not change his joy and said: "No matter what happens next, life still has to be lived." ”
"Before, in the desert escape team, there were many people, and it was inconvenient to take out these things to eat, but now it's okay, at least we can eat a little more wanton."
Looking at the delicious meal in front of them, Su Bujing and the others couldn't help but drool with happiness.
The family ate the food made by Su Buwei with wild vegetables, mixed with the cooked food taken out by the Zhao family, and ate eight points full.
After eating, Zhao released two stout dead trees from the space, and the whole family took weapons and cut down the trees.
The trunk of the tree would be cut down to the size of a fire, and then retracted into the space by the Zhao family.
Although they still have a lot of firewood of the right length to make a fire, if they run out of firewood, they can't just burn the tree!
Therefore, when the Su family was eating, they decided to dispose of all the big dead trees that the Zhao family had collected all the way while they were resting.
Each trunk and branch should be cut into half an arm's length for later use and storage.
After cutting their two dead trees, all of the family except Su Bujing and Su Buwei were so tired that they were panting.
Su Buwei waved his fist vigorously, looking like he still had some strength left, "Hey! You can still exercise your strength by cutting down trees like this, don't be lazy! ”
Su Buyi and the others didn't bother to pay attention to him, and they calmed down and breathed quickly, but they agreed very much in their hearts.
The family did not rest in place for long, and after regaining their strength, they gathered their things and got into the carriage, and took turns resting while hurrying as before.
On the rest of the road, they saw that the weeds on the roadside and the leaves on the dead trees were growing from abundant to barren.
If you look closely, you can see that there are signs of scratching.
It was supposed to be eaten by hungry refugees.
The Su family has a reserve of food, even if they can't replenish supplies outside, they won't starve to death, but seeing this scene is still inevitably related.
They are truly aware of the cruel truth:
The famine came silently.
Along the way, the Su family was in a hurry, and hurried to Baozhou along the route of Yutu.
Until this day, they came to a wide forest.
I saw that the forest in front of me was full of trees and grass, which was in stark contrast to the desolate scene on the road before.
As far as the eye can see, the leaves are grayish-white, and in the dark of the night, the leaves even glow a light gray that is not easy to detect.
It is a tree that represents life, but it is not full of life, but cold and lifeless, like a tomb standing on the ground.
The secluded forest sat there lazily like a huge beast with its mouth open, waiting for its prey to enter its mouth.
"It's strange that this forest doesn't show in the map! Are we on the wrong track again? Su Buyi frowned, his face was grim, and he carefully compared the map.
Although he was extremely cautious, taking one step at a time, it was pitch black all around, and the torches could only illuminate the nearby road, so it was not impossible if they were to take the wrong path.
In addition, the ground was full of cracks, and they made many detours in order to avoid them.
When Su Yuanshan heard this, he stopped the carriage, picked up the torch hanging on the wall of the carriage behind him, and helped illuminate it on the side.
"There shouldn't be a mistake, every time we go around the hole, we have to confirm the direction again and again." Suyuan Mountain Road.
Su Buyi didn't answer, he concentrated on checking the landmarks marked on the map, and before finding a black hole, he leaned over and touched the orange-red soil, and when he got closer, he could smell a fishy smell, which was the same as the characteristics of the reference object described on the map.
Su Buyi pinched the dirt and returned to the car and showed it to Su Yuanshan, "Well, you didn't go the wrong way, but how to explain this forest?" It's so big that it can't be missed by the person who drew the map. ”
Su Yuanshan was dumbfounded.
Oh, yes! Since they didn't go the wrong way, what happened to the forest that appeared inexplicably in front of them?
Su Bu, who was in the carriage, was shocked to find that the car stopped, and immediately poked his head out of the car and asked, "Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" Is something wrong? ”
Su Buyi told the strangeness of this forest.
Su Bujing pondered for a moment, took the map and looked at it, and suddenly said in a shocking voice: "You say, will this forest grow all at once in a short period of time..."
Su Buyi's words caused Su Yuanshan and Su Buyi to be surprised, "With so many trees, how long do you have to grow to be so strong!" How can it grow all at once. ”
"If that's the case, it's not as good as pulling out seedlings!"
Su Bu shrugged his shoulders in surprise, and said helplessly: "I also know that this is incredible, but we didn't go the wrong way, and secondly, the map is fine, according to common sense, it can only be that this forest didn't come out before the map was drawn, and it only came out of thin air after the map was drawn." ”
"We even encountered strange things like vampire moths, flying fish, and sky caves, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to have a crazy forest overnight."
I'm afraid of comparisons in everything, and with those absurd and wonderful experiences before, no matter what I encounter again, I can accept it calmly.
