Chapter 37 37. The basket is empty and empty

It rained heavily for three days.

During this period, we only stopped briefly a few times, each lasting no more than an hour. The rest of the time, there was only a slight difference between heavy rain and light rain.

The morning broadcast still started at eight o'clock sharp. Today's weather forecast was cloudy to light rain. Huaiyu looked at the sky and hesitated whether to go into the mountains.

The muddy water in the pond not far away is turbid and it will probably take a few days to clear up. In the past, only half of the three- to five-acre pond was filled with water. Now, it is directly flush with the edge of the pond.

Because the water pollution level is so high, it may be difficult to use water for a long time in the future.

She puffed up her cheeks depressedly.

But no matter what, it is a precious spring rain. Now that it has just cleared up, you can see a layer of green and tender new leaves sprouting on the mountains in the distance. The grass on all sides seemed to be covered with a layer of fluffy new green, and the color of the grass was particularly fresh.

Huaiyu knelt down and touched a handful. They were tender and she didn’t know if they would be edible after a while...

She picked up a few stems from the shed. When the firewood is returned, the fire cannot be stopped in broad daylight.

Because of the continuous rain, even though she chose a high place to build her house, she still had a layer of blue bricks underneath. But once it rains, the water in the house will overflow.

If you don’t light a fire to warm yourself up, I’m afraid you’ll really be living in the water.

But there was a fire, and the room was full of moist and warm water vapor... If it kept raining, Huaiyu suspected that he was going to get a rash.

She sighed, thinking how nice it would be to have a decent house.

However, building a house requires money, and now she only has the 200 points given by Lin Xuefeng and some from before. The top priority is to save more to have a sense of security and not be blinded when encountering problems.

So I filled the firewood, took another look at the bean sprouts that were growing slowly due to the low temperature, turned around, put on my raincoat and boots, put a basket on my back, pushed my bicycle and went out.

Although everyone said that you should not eat wild vegetables and mushrooms after heavy rain, Sanqing Mountain is so big, she had to try it!

The Erba Dabong was a bit difficult to ride on the muddy land, but it was still easier than walking before. Huaiyu arrived at the Rose Corridor [8] area in less than ten minutes.

At this moment, the car was standing next to Qiangwei. She stretched out her hand and then retracted it hesitantly.

"Well... the rain has stopped, are you in a good mood? If you are, can you let me go? Secretly."

There was no movement in the Rose Corridor, but the branches and leaves shook for a moment, and then water drops and wet petals fell all over the ground.

Huaiyu simply gathered up a handful of thorny flower branches and said: "Please! I'm going to starve to death!"

After a while, the flower branches in front of him slid, dripping with water. In the sound of landing, a passage was finally given.

Huaiyu laughed happily: "You are so beautiful!"

She walked skillfully with a basket on her back, and when she came out of the corridor, she was stunned by the scene in front of her——


Sanqingshan is alive!

No, it’s not alive, it’s just... when she came before, although there were sporadic signs of spring, there were more dead branches and yellow leaves, and the trees were full of rustling.

But now there have been several heavy rains. Starting from the hillside winding up at her feet, there are large mushrooms and grass blades poking out from the layers of dead leaves. Some even tried hard, and small flowers of various colors of purple, blue, pink, and yellow bloomed sporadically...

The rain stayed on the blue-purple petals, making the flowers look transparent.

So beautiful!

She climbed the rocks and followed the path. There were two scattered mushroom bushes passing by, but because the temperature was too low, they had not yet grown to a large size, so Huaiyu had to give up first. Scattered wild vegetables are slowly showing their heads. Rainwater slowly gathers streams from the mountains and flows down. The wild grasses on both sides grow particularly lush. Huaiyu didn't walk a few steps when he saw a bush of green onions.

The broad, tender green leaves seemed to have grown ferociously in the past few days. When she reached out to pull them out, she could feel that the whole green onion seemed to be "dirty".

After a pause, she pulled out two of them and shook off the soil from their roots and put them into the basket.

Going further, you can see more dense ginseng, but they don’t grow so fast and are still very young now.

Huaiyu also reached out and took two handfuls. The smell was strong, but... it was still very "dirty".

She stood in this treasure-house-like mountain and sighed sadly. She was in the treasure mountain but could not use it at all. How terrible this feeling was!

After much deliberation, I still refused to give up and look at the bracken and shepherd's purse that grew luxuriantly before the rain. The place is full of vitality, the bare bracken that was picked before has sprung up again like bamboo shoots after rain, and the shepherd's purse at the bottom of the slope is also green, not to mention how gratifying it is!

However, Huaiyu regretted it so much that he almost cried.

Because these things in front of you cannot be eaten!

They are all very polluted, even worse than the green belts I saw in the city before!

Not as good as the weeds in front of your own door!

There was not much mud on the soft branches and leaves when her boots stepped on it, but her heart seemed to be filled with mud and heavy.

At this moment, her small body was wearing an oversized raincoat and equally wide rain boots, and she was carrying a large and empty basket. Inside, she could only see a handful of young ginseng leaves and two green onions... …

The bottom of the basket is not even covered.

Halfway through, Huaiyu thought of something again and turned back again.

The pollution value of this wild vegetable is so high. At this juncture, she does not dare to purify it easily and sell it.

But...if you can’t sell it, can’t you eat it yourself?

Even if there is no seasoning, it still tastes better than nutrient solution, right?

She gritted her teeth and put the basket down, and bent down again to pick wild vegetables - there could be more bracken, and she would come back to see if she could pickle it, but shepherd's purse was no longer needed, as it is not easy to preserve, and there are no eggs now. Paired with it, if you only add salt, it tastes like eating grass...

Forget it.

Because salt is too expensive, Huaiyu didn’t dare to pick too many brackens after much deliberation. The total amount was only one third of the basket.

After much deliberation, I was still unwilling to give in, so I turned around again when I was going down the mountain and picked up a handful of green onions and ginseng again.

This trip to the mountains was really depressing.

Huaiyu was riding a bicycle. Although he was mentally prepared, it was too difficult to face the reality. If this continues, will the source of income for a long time in the future have to be bean sprouts?

It is not difficult to sprout bean sprouts. This morning, the beans have sprouted more than two centimeters. Nowadays, I don’t know if beans are easy to buy and how much they cost...

I also have my own yam beans and peanuts. The water and soil are polluted. When can I plant them?

She hummed and stepped on the 28 big bar. The basket was empty and her heart was empty.

When we returned to the tree house, the sky became gloomy again. Huaiyu subconsciously looked at the Rose Corridor, which looked like an oil painting in the dim sky, and couldn't help but murmured:

"You are so fierce... Lin Xuefeng doesn't dare to hit anyone in front of you, so what if he How did you get to the wasteland? ”
