Chapter 7 7. The pine cone of Huashan pine
The next day, Huaiyu got up again following the broadcast.
The sun had just emerged, and the morning light fell on the ground, penetrating through the frame she had built yesterday, and casting a long slanting shadow.
The wisterias are very obedient. There are not a few leaves on the bare branches. The only eye-catching thing is a wisteria flower swaying in the wind near the door.
Huaiyu sucked the nutrient solution in his mouth, his face expressionless. After all, after eating this for three days in a row, the taste went from passable to a bit unpalatable, and now, it is already quite unpalatable.
It will take a month to eat this kind of food...
Wait!
She suddenly knelt down skillfully on the ground, and then climbed back into the tunnel. While drinking the nutrient solution, she counted -
"One pack, two packs, three Bags..."
There are 26 bags left.
When it was distributed, it was said to be a month's supply...but one pack was given the day before yesterday, and I drank two packs yesterday! I felt hungry again early this morning, could it be...
Only enough for half a month, right?
The sun shines into the tunnel through the holes in the foundation bricks, and the faint spots of light are reflected on the maroon sleeping bags. The soybeans huddled there silently. It was obvious that with her current ability, even if she spawned them, she wouldn't be able to produce many beans.
You don’t even need to do any calculations to know that it is only 40 pounds.
And now, let alone planting, her house has not been built yet!
"Plop."
The bag of nutrient solution in her mouth was sucked dry and fell to the ground, and her mood also dropped to the ground.
Because of this understanding, Huaiyu next went to District 22 to break branches with bulging cheeks - District 1 of Qiangwei Mansion, with a total area of 600 acres and a total of 37 districts.
Area No. 22 is a small hill that has been cleaned up extremely thoroughly by the Alien Plant Defense Force, leaving only a few sparse tree stubbles.
Huaiyu came here to break off a slightly thinner branch and use it to cap the house later.
Standing on the hill and looking from a distance, the nearest defensive army garrison is some distance away from here. If we calculate it according to the divisions of the Rose Corridor, I'm afraid it won't be beyond District 60.
Actually, she was unlucky that night. The place where the strange movement occurred in the Rose Corridor happened to be not far from the intersection of Area 37 and Area 38. Therefore, the mutation value detector there would be very close.
As for District 38, it belongs to the allocation area of District 2 of Qiangwei Mansion.
But now Huaiyu knows nothing and is not in the mood to care. She just wants to build the house quickly before the leaves fall completely.
……
Once the main frame is built, the rest is just trivial work.
For example, what Huaiyu has to do now is to use the thin and long wooden thorn on his hand to pick out the stem of the tung tree leaves picked yesterday and pick out a [Y ] type bifurcated.
Then the branches are stuck on the frame of the house - although it is a bit difficult because the leaves are not big enough, after the leaves are fixed one by one, they are then tied with thinner tree vines. If you lay a few more layers, it will be solid and airtight.
The only problem is that the tung tree leaves are not very waterproof, but there are no other alternatives around.
After all, the Flower City has four distinct seasons, and it often snows in winter. In this environment, the leaves of the plants should not be too wide to avoid freezing damage.
This job is not difficult, but it is really trivial. Fortunately, she has nothing else to do now, so she can be patient and build the house solidly step by step.
However, after using half of the leaves, I still feel that it is still not safe if it rains heavily.
But it doesn’t matter, she is so smart and she thought of an alternative yesterday——
She must have thought about it. Even if you haven’t thought about it, it’s still too late to think about it now!
While in tangle, Huaiyu thought of the maroon sleeping bag in the tunnel, and an idea flashed at this moment!
She dug through the leaves and dug out the twelve Huashan pine cones she had gotten yesterday.
Huashan pine trees take more than ten or twenty years to bear pine cones, but the big pine trees encountered in Huaiyu reach into the sky and their lifespan is unknown.
The pine cone she gave was naturally very big. The diameter is close to 10 centimeters, and the length is 20 centimeters. Huaiyu is greedy while looking at it, and he doesn't dare to think about how well the little squirrels eat.
But these had to be exchanged by someone, so in the end she was reluctant to pick out a smaller one, then broke off the seed scales one by one and took out the pine nuts inside.
Counting, a big pine cone actually produced more than 100 pine nuts! So rich!
Big pine tree, so good!
The only problem is, I don’t know whether it’s a species problem or whether it’s a matter of being exposed to the wind, sun, and rain for a long time. Not only do these pine nuts not taste as fragrant as red pine, they don’t even have the faint fragrance that uniquely belongs to Huashan pine. .
Still a bit bitter.
Huaiyu ate two pills with little interest, and now only sighed once again——
"How did I know so much before! I can even eat several varieties of pine nuts...so rich!"
But now she doesn't even have a place to live. This gap is too big. It turns out that the world is sorry for her. !
She hummed twice. After all, life is more important now. The big bed and the valet are far away.
Although these are not as delicious as I remember, they are still pine nuts after all. Just looking at the fact that the minimum amount of soybeans per person nowadays is one pound, you know that some grains are precious.
Huaiyu picked up the thin canes and tied them one by one, and soon he had a long list of eleven large pine cones.
To exchange it with others, it would not be good to just drag it on the ground, so she thought about it and slung it over her shoulder.
Waterproof big roof, here I come!
She walked away happily.
......
The alien plant defense army station is far away in Area 69.
Because it is close to the Rose Corridor, and since the Rose Corridor appeared, it has been diligently guarding this wasteland defense line for Huacheng. Therefore, although there are defense troops stationed here, people are rarely seen in normal times.
But now, the guard at the door looked into the distance and saw a girl slowly walking over there with something strange tied to her body...
Guard:...
He picked up the walkie-talkie to report. When someone was finally interested and came to the door to have a look, the girl in the distance had also walked to the door.
Only then did the guard see clearly that what she was carrying on her shoulders was a large bunch of pine cones.
The defenders who came out to see the situation were also stunned:
“Little girl, is that you?”
Huaiyu was so tired from walking that he waved his hands now and couldn’t even say anything. He came out, only with a rough and embarrassed breathing sound.
After all, the pine cones on my body are too big. Each one weighs almost a kilogram. With 11 pine cones, the minimum is 10 kilograms.
The walk from District 37 to District 69 was at least more than 3 kilometers... It really tired her out.
When she finally finished breathing and looked at the familiar defenders staring at her with frowns, she hesitated:
"That night, a brother said that it was their captain who asked him to give me a sleeping bag... ...Is that you?”
After thinking about it, she added: “Brother Captain.”
Good night.
