Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Extreme Cold 35
"It will take a few days to get out of the grassland. There must be forests. Let's cut down more branches for preparation. By the way, don't we have to get some snow and ice to go on the road?"

Qi Yuan clicked his tongue twice, "I must bring some snow and ice, anyway, I have never seen snow in the desert."

"Not necessarily. Most deserts in the world are in the tropics, but our country is different. There are many deserts where snow falls. And with the current temperature, do you think the deserts will be very hot?"

Ye Fu paused, and continued, "However, we still have to bring some ice and snow. After all, we need to drink water. The desert we have to pass through is not very big. If there are no accidents, we can go out within ten days."

Fang Ming sighed, "I was too comfortable some time ago, these days either the ice is sinking or an avalanche is happening, which makes me tense now."

"Relax, haven't we narrowly escaped death? Now that I live one more day, I'm earning money. Anyway, my mentality has stabilized." Yin Dongnan patted Fang Ming's shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

"Aren't you close to home now?"

"Maybe there are still a thousand kilometers, but I am also very confused now. I don't know if my family is still at home." Yin Dongnan's home is in a county in Ning Province, which is very close to Meng Province.

"At least you are going home soon, but we are getting farther and farther away from home. Why don't you go to northern Xinjiang with us, it's not safe for you to go home alone."

Yin Dongnan shook his head, he must go home.

When mentioning home, Ye Fu was in a daze for a moment, the dilapidated community in Lancheng seemed to have become a paradise she would never go back to.

Wan Tao took out the map and helped Yin Dongnan check the route back.

"Going another [-] kilometers, we will reach a county called Yuquan. Once there, you can go west for [-] kilometers and enter Ning Province. And we have to walk several hundred kilometers before entering Lan Province. "

Yin Dongnan suddenly felt a little innocent. After being with everyone for so long, he felt very uncomfortable to be separated from everyone.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, you can bring back some sweet potatoes and cassava, as well as meat. Your carriage has been repaired and you can go on the road." Liu Zhang thought he was worried about his life after leaving, so let him relax and prepare enough for him. food.

In fact, Yin Dongnan was reluctant to part with everyone.

"If there is no one in my family, I should also go to northern Xinjiang."

"Okay, then we are waiting for you in Beijiang, you must come to us."

Yin Dongnan nodded heavily, "I will."

After dinner, Ye Fubai was bored holding the bean sprouts in front of the window in a daze, while Jiang Rong was reading a book, the atmosphere in the carriage was harmonious and peaceful, and the charcoal in the stove was burning scarlet.

"Why does that person have to go home? After so many years, maybe his family has moved away long ago."

Ye Fu smiled, "If one day I get separated from you, will you come back and look for me?"

Jiang Rong frowned, "It's impossible for us to separate."

"I mean if, it's just a hypothetical."

"There is no if and no assumption, we can't separate." Jiang Rong was very persistent.

Ye Fu was helpless, "Okay, then let me give another example, if a family gets separated, do you think they will want to find their family?"

Jiang Rong was silent for a few seconds, "Think about it."

"Family is about finding each other no matter where you go, no matter what happens, it's the same as going home."

Jiang Rong may not be able to understand this kind of feeling, but if one day he and Ye Fu get separated, no matter what the price is, he will find her.

"Even if it's nothing but going home, will he go back?"

Ye Fu nodded, "Because going home is his belief."

Jiang Rong suddenly came over and hugged Ye Fu, "Let's never separate."

The flash of panic and fear in his eyes was caught by Ye Fu, who hugged him back.

"We will not be separated."

will never.

The next day, the team entered the grassland again, but unexpectedly, there was no snow on this grassland, but some particularly low shrubs grew very well. The leaves of the shrubs had small thorns on them, and there was a faint fragrance. When they saw this bush, they all started to eat.

There are purple fruits on some shrubs, the size of small tomatoes, Ye Fu found that the fragrance of these fruits is stronger.

"This is Zixiao fruit." Wan Tao picked a fruit and put it in his mouth, everyone was shocked.

"It's very delicious. Zixiao fruit is a specialty of Mongolia. It can be eaten. Like blueberries, it is especially cold-resistant."

Hearing what Wan Tao said, everyone picked the fruit and put it in their mouths. It was very sweet, with a lot of juice, the flesh was thick, and the seeds were very small, so there was no need to spit it out.

"Can we dig some Zixiao trees? In this weather, the trees won't die. If we bring them to northern Xinjiang and plant them, we won't have to worry about the food and grass for so many argali and red deer."

Everyone agrees with Fang Wei's proposal, but the soil on the grassland is permafrost, so it is very laborious to dig, the hoe is almost broken, and the surface of the soil layer is still extremely hard.

Jiang Rong looked at the big men who couldn't even dig up a bush, shook his head helplessly, walked over and snatched the shovel from Qi Yuan's hand, and dug down hard at the root of the bush. They were all scooped up.

After digging five trees in a row, Jiang Rong stopped. The others took small pots and ate them while picking them. They didn't stop until they were all picked. But they didn't expect that eating too much Zixiao fruit would have side effects. As soon as they got on the carriage, Qi Yuan and Fang Wei quickly jumped down and went straight to the bushes not far away.

Wan Tao patted his forehead annoyed, "I forgot to tell everyone that Zixiao fruit is greedy for cold, so you can't eat too much, and you will have diarrhea if you eat too much."

people...

Hearing everyone's wailing, Ye Fu sighed, quickly took out a pack of traditional Chinese medicine, and got out of the car to make medicine for everyone.

"Uncle Wan, you killed me, I'm about to collapse." Qi Yuan just came back holding his stomach, when the sound of "gurgling" came, he held his stomach and ran away again.

Wan Tao felt very guilty. If he hadn't known him for so long, everyone would have wondered if he did it on purpose.

"In the future, Lao Wan will say that the fruit is edible, I can't believe it anymore." Liu Zhang was also one of the victims, clutching his stomach.

Wan Tao glanced at him, "Actually, Zixiao fruit can be used for cooking."

"You can shut up." Liu Zhang was so angry that he covered his stomach and went to the bushes again.

Ye Fu distributed the boiled medicine to everyone. She observed the condition of the sheep and horses just now. Although they ate shrubs, the stomachs of animals are much stronger than humans. There are no side effects so far. It seems that Zi Xiao Trees can indeed be taken away and planted.

After drinking the medicine, everyone's stomachs finally calmed down, but the time was delayed by a day.

Back in the carriage, Ye Fu couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect Uncle Wan, who has always been knowledgeable and talented, to have a crash one day, haha."
