Compared with Mu Xingzhou, who casually installed a box of snowy snow with a little mud in the yard, Guan Yongyi's life is obviously more refined.
The pot that came out contained a lot of white clean snow, and it seemed that the utensils were specially collected outside. There is a plate on top of the snow, and in the plate...
Mu Xingzhou watched Guan Yongyi set the pot on the fire, and then took out a plate full of lotus root pieces from it. Lotus root... crisp and raw...you can eat it directly... Mu Xingzhou's thirsty mouth started to secrete a lot of saliva the moment he saw the lotus root.
Wang Daming, on the other hand, was much more shameless, rubbed his hands and said a lot of words, and touched the lotus root plate with his dirty hands.
Although life is difficult these days, Guan Yongyi, who still maintains basic hygiene habits, of course couldn't stand it, and retracted his hand holding the plate reflexively.
After shrinking, he felt that he was not very friendly. Looking at the two people whose cheeks were so thin that they were sunken and out of shape, Guan Yongyi turned to Ni Jinghe: "Get some lotus root powder first."
Ni Jinghe nodded in agreement, put the spear in Guan Yongyi's hand, went back to the room just now, and came out with two bowls with spoons in his hand.
"When the water is hot, soak it and eat it." Ni Jinghe had just returned to the fire, and before Wang Daming stretched out his hand, he hurriedly explained.
Mu Xingzhou didn't care about Wang Daming, thanked himself first, and then finally had the opportunity to ask why they were here alone.
Guan Yongyi glanced at Wang Daming whose eyes had been fixed on those bowls and plates, hesitated and asked: "Just now Wang Daming said that you were caught in a hole by a bear, and you recovered after using the medicinal materials given by the bear. The injury, is it the injury from falling off that cliff?"
Mu Xingzhou nodded, and roughly explained what happened after he fell off the cliff.
The story is a bit bizarre, but it is similar to what Wang Daming said. Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe looked at each other, first they only said that they were separated from Zhao Da and the others and stayed alone in this camp, and then asked Mu Xingzhou and Wang Daming what their plans were next.
To be honest, Mu Xingzhou doesn't really believe in the talk of being separated. After confirming that there are really only Guan Yongyi, Ni Jing and two here, Mu Xingzhou is actually inclined to Zhao Da because the three of them got together on the road and did bad things to them, and then they ran away Understand. But he didn't tell Wang Daming about Zhao Da's matter, so there's no need to ask him urgently at this moment. Just stay away from Wang Daming for a while, and then chat with Guan Yongyi and the others.
Mu Xingzhou has nothing to hide about his future plans. Although the defense and nervousness of Guan Yongyi and the others are clearly visible when they meet again, the friendship between the two is also very obvious. After all, it gave Mu Xingzhou some warmth.
However, after listening to Mu Xingzhou's conversation, he went back to the preset route of the program group and found that the things belonging to Song Shiyue and the five of them had been taken away from the camp they had passed before, and then inferred that Song Shiyue and the others had gone to the old castle and planned to continue. After going to the castle to find Feng Qianqian's plan, the expressions of Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe became...a little subtle.
Leaving aside that Song Shiyue and the others should not be in the castle, just say that Mu Xingzhou must find Feng Qianqian inside and outside of what he said... what does it mean. Do you think he gave up at that time, and now he looks back, can he be forgiven
However, although they felt that Mu Xingzhou was simply whimsical, they didn't pour cold water on the spot. They just talked about the possible encounter with Song Shiyue after they separated from Zhao Da and the others. Of course, the fact that they got the map to go to the castle was temporarily hidden. After all, it is hard to explain why they stopped here and did not go.
It was Ni Jinghe who added that there was a lighter among the things Song Shiyue left for them at the beginning, not the one she left for them in the medicine bag when she was in the team. Looking at the things that should have been taken out of the castle, Song Shiyue probably went to the castle and then left.
The words of Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe gave Mu Xingzhou a head-on blow, making him wonder for a moment whether to be happy for the new evidence that those people are really still alive or to be pained by the possibility of losing Feng Qianqian's trace.
At this moment, the water in the pot was gurgling and boiling.
Almost impatiently, Wang Daming interrupted the conversation of the three and asked for dinner.
The brown granules, which filled one-fifth of the bowl, were washed away by the boiling water. Wang Daming casually stirred it twice with a spoon, and before it was evenly stirred, he began to pour it into his mouth while blowing.
On the contrary, Mu Xingzhou, who was in a trance after listening to the two people's words, stirred it numbly for a while longer, which made the lotus root powder sticky and became crystal clear and sticky.
The lotus root powder is very fragrant, and it has a natural sweetness in their mouths, who haven't eaten normal food for a long time. But soon they couldn't taste the taste, they only knew how to pour the hot food into their already ruined stomachs.
This bit of lotus root starch is definitely not enough.
However, Guan Yongyi thought about the hard-won lotus root noodles, and thought about the half-pot of lotus root noodles that Wang Daming had eaten raw before, so he didn't ask Ni Jinghe to add more.
Wait around and wait until the lotus root is cooked and ready to eat.
Of course, in the end, under Wang Daming's nonsense, the lotus root took a bath in boiling water, and it was out of the pot.
Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe originally thought that Mu Xingzhou would let the other half cook in the pot for a while, but they never thought that Wang Daming quarreled and started eating, and Mu Xingzhou ate the half-baked lotus root directly. If you grab too much, if you have something to eat, you have to eat it quickly.
After burning two pots of lotus root, after Ni Jinghe's persuasion, Mu Xingzhou and Wang Daming stopped the storm to eat.
During this period, Wang Daming frequently asked Guan Yongyi how they survived in the camp without food, but both of them looked around and talked about him, but they were very concerned about Mu Xingzhou and Wang Daming's next choice.
Wang Daming stated on the spot that if there was food nearby, he would not have to go to the castle. If not... Then we must move forward.
Of course, Wang Daming only knows whether he will go forward, whether he will go directly or steal away.
Several people had their own secrets, said something that could be said, and drank some hot water, Guan Yongyi took out an extra pot and two basins, and asked them to boil water for a little washing.
There are still a lot of bedding in the camp, which they collected in another camp before. They have been washed and dried before winter, and they are prepared for use when the weather is bad in winter. Now... I can only take it out first.
Ni Jinghe was a little bit reluctant, but the... clothes on the two of them were really unreadable. Moreover, if they stay to live, they always have to give a set of bedding.
The temptation to take a hot bath is great. After Mu Xingzhou gave up his pot of water temporarily, Wang Daming took two big pots of hot water to scrub in the empty room.
The three of them gained some space to talk about the things they didn't know whether they should tell Wang Daming.
So far, Guan Yongyi and the others had nothing to hide, and even took out the map left by Song Shiyue from the point where they met them to the castle.
The characters on it are correct and elegant, but they are not Feng Qianqian's characters that Mu Xingzhou knows.
But with this map, Mu Xingzhou can understand why Ni Jinghe was so sure when he said that Song Shiyue should have been to the castle.
Looking at it this way, Song Shiyue had indeed been there, otherwise he wouldn't be able to draw such a detailed picture.
Since I drew a picture for Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe, I just don't mind them going to the castle. If Song Shiyue and the others were also in the castle, they wouldn't avoid them and just leave a map. Obviously, they don't want to have contact with the person who abandoned them, and they must not be in the castle.
Holding the map, Mu Xingzhou couldn't imagine where Feng Qianqian followed Song Shiyue and the others... Wilderness Star is so big, as long as they leave the preset route of the program group, it is almost impossible for him to meet them again. What's more... They should still be avoiding the few people on their side.
It is unknown where Feng Qianqian went, but Mu Xingzhou knows that he cannot go to the old castle.
After all, the three of them had a tacit understanding that they had started to suspect that Zhao Da and Zhao Erhou were in a group. Without Wang Daming, even Ni Jinghe relaxed a little more by saying a few more words.
At the beginning, Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe, since they felt that Zhao Da had evil thoughts towards them and fled, they would not return to the route preset by the program group, let alone return to the camp where Zhao Da might raid again. But they really don't have the ability to build a house, so they can only think about whether to walk in the opposite direction of the castle, maybe Zhao Da won't turn back so much.
And in the end, there is a reason for staying in this place where I didn't look back too much.
Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe didn't hide it from Mu Xingzhou. After all, even if Mu Xingzhou didn't stay, he wouldn't go to the castle to attract Zhao Da, so they just said it.
They went back at the beginning, because there was no map, they went astray and got lost for a while. During that time, they were lucky enough to find a rather large lotus pond. On the surface of the water were lotus flowers that had been defeated in autumn, but under the water was the lotus root that saved their lives.
There are a lot of lotus roots, so many, even if there are four people, no, double the number of people, they will not be able to eat them all until the spring, and the lotus blooms in summer. It's just that the lotus root can't be kept, so if you want to eat it, you can only go down and dig it every once in a while. Although the water in the lotus pond is not very deep, but because they can't pump out the water from the lotus pond to dig again, they still have to dive down to dig the lotus root.
Before the weather was not so cold, they dug up some lotus root and tried to make a batch of lotus root powder. It's a pity that the output rate of lotus root noodles is too low, so many lotus roots are made into lotus root noodles, and the shrinkage is not even one-twentieth... And there is no mixer for making lotus root noodles, all have to be chopped by hand until it is smashed until it is rotten, it is too expensive time. They only made it once in total, and they didn't try again after getting four small cans of powder.
Later, when it started to snow, I went down and dug some more out. When the snow piled up, I threw it in the snow these days and used it as a natural ice bank to freeze it. But it doesn't look like it will last long.
But in any case, it was a lotus pond, with endless lotus roots. Even if the water is frozen in winter, you can still use stones to break the hole. The cold is a bit cold, but warm up before going down, and take good protection when going down, just like winter swimming, it is not completely unbearable.
In any case, in this wilderness, it is really a very lucky thing to find such a natural food store. Even if there is only a single lotus root to eat, I feel like vomiting, but I can still live, right
Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe introduced their source of life to Mu Xingzhou, and they didn't forget to show Mu Xingzhou the protective gloves made of water-repellent tent cloth they wore when digging lotus roots.
Mu Xingzhou could actually feel it, and could feel that they wanted him to stay.
Not to mention that the three of them have been friends for a while, it is indeed better to survive in a group in the wilderness. Especially the lotus root in this winter... Ni Jinghe may not be able to swim in that kind of icy water, since the underwater lotus root can't be eaten up, whether it is launching into the water, or pulling the protective rope on the shore, or it is said that it is not far from here. It takes manpower to get the lotus root back from a very close place. Of course, the more people stay, the more they can share the pressure of Guan Yongyi.
But Mu Xingzhou is still digesting the news that Song Shiyue and the others should not have stayed in the castle. This news, which he had so long held, had dealt a devastating blow to his hopes of escaping the bear and coming here cold and hungry. He needs to think, and think again.
Digestion belongs to digestion. Mu Xingzhou reminded Guan Yongyi and Ni Jinghe before making a decision. It is best to tell Wang Daming the news about the lotus pond earlier, and it is best to wait for Wang Daming to take a bath. No matter what, don't leave this news overnight...
Guan Yongyi didn't understand Mu Xingzhou's meaning for a while, but Ni Jinghe's face suddenly turned ugly after being stunned for a while. What is the meaning of the news that the food is sufficient enough to last until summer and cannot be overnight? If there is not enough food, Wang Daming may not be able to be an individual...
Mu Xingzhou didn't say anything, just seeing Ni Jinghe understands, but he added that Wang Daming is not the kind of person who has to go to the castle for more than ten days in the severe cold to report the news of the lotus pond. . This person has never had this kind of loyalty and friendship, but since the lotus root in the lotus pond is enough to eat, he needs to get it back every time, and Guan Yongyi's force value is also enough, Wang Daming is also a person who can be used if he stays.
Besides, if they don't mention it now, Wang Daming might not leave so easily after seeing him eating.
