Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 136 Water chestnut
"Ah Sneeze! Ah Sneeze! Ah - Qiu!!"

Three sneezes in a row woke Mei Qian up from her sleep.

Mei Qian sat up and turned to look at the window. The rattan on the window was dyed golden by the setting sun, and she realized that it was already dusk.

"Damn it, it's not cold today~ Did I get cold while sleeping?"

Mei Qian muttered, she didn't expect that she had slept for so long. After stretching, Mei Qian got out of bed and walked towards the entrance of the cave. She opened the fence at the entrance but unexpectedly bumped into the water chestnut coming over.

"It doesn't matter to you, right?"

Mei Qian was a little stunned by the impact, but she still moved quickly and reached out to grab Lingjiao, who staggered back a few steps after being hit by her. Fortunately, Lingjiao didn't fall.

It was precisely because Mei Qian supported the other party that Mei Qian saw a bowl in her hand.

The pancake in the bowl looked very familiar to Mei Qian, it was the one she ate in the morning.

"My lord asked me to bring this to you." Ling Jiao was supported by Mei Qian. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he immediately handed the bowl he was holding in front of Mei Qian.

Mei Qian took it, looked at Ling Jiao and couldn't help but ask: "Are you - the maid here?"

"No, no, no, it's not." Lingjiao shook his head immediately, "I, I was, helping to light the fire in the kitchen. Because I said something to you in the morning, the adult who sent you here asked me to bring it to you. Dinner.”

"Ah, thanks."

Mei Qian realized that she had misunderstood and quickly thanked the other party.

Seeing this, Lingjiao couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and then immediately waved his hand, saying that he couldn't bear this gift.

"You are an ordinary citizen, and so am I. You brought my dinner, so I naturally want to thank you."

Mei Qian looked at Ling Jiao's flattered look and explained warmly, and then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, have eaten."

Ling Jiao nodded, but her dinner was just a bowl of crystal clear porridge.

[Xiaomei, can this cake be uploaded to the platform? 】

【No! ! ! 】

After receiving Xiaomei's answer, Mei Qian immediately lost her appetite.

Although she knew this pancake was unpalatable in the morning, after being rejected by Xiao Mei, Mei Qian's impression of this pancake became even more unpalatable.

"Then if you have nothing to do, just stay here and talk to me."

As Mei Qian spoke, she walked to a large rock, gathered some miscellaneous branches and swept away the floating sand and soil on it, then sat down and waved to the water chestnut.

Lingjiao Congshan Ruliu sat down next to Mei Qian.

"Where do you mean the chef you're helping from?"

Mei Qian chatted with Ling Jiao casually.

Lingjiao replied: "He is the chef of these military masters."

Ordinary people like Lingjiao didn't know the identities of Chang Ping and the others, and the county magistrate naturally wouldn't tell them.

Although Chang'an said that this group of people were not soldiers at all, but in the eyes of Lingjiao and the others, at the last moment, Changping and the others took people to escort them into the mountain, so they also regarded Changping and the others as a group of soldiers.

"Then you..." Mei Qian looked at Lingjiao and asked cautiously, "Where are your family members? Do they trust you to help in the kitchen?"

Ling Jiao looked at the smaller one, which was two points shorter than Mei Qian and even thinner.

"died."

Mei Qian's questions were not procrastinated, and Ling Jiao's answers were straightforward.

"Oh~"

Realizing that what she was asking was not a good topic, Mei Qian lowered her head in embarrassment, picked up the pancake, and took a bite with her cheeks open.

"By the way, you have been here for a few days. How do you feel here these days?"

While Mei Qian was asking, she broke off the sturdy pancake and handed it to Ling Jiao.

"This cannot be done..."

"Yes, talking is very tiring, please take a few bites."

Mei Qian couldn't finish the pancake, and the system wouldn't accept it. Mei Qian didn't want to waste it, so she just gave some to water chestnuts like in the morning. She remembered the longing in Ling Jiao's eyes when she looked at this pancake in the morning.

It's the same now. It looks like I'm not full, but I still want to eat.

"Thank you." Lingjiao stared at the pancake and couldn't resist repeatedly. She took the pancake and started to eat it immediately.

Compared to Mei Qian, who almost used the pancake as a teething stick, Watershed Jiao ate it more easily and didn't seem to choke at all.

Looking carefully, it tasted quite delicious, so Mei Qian also took a few bites.

Ling Jiao was immersed in eating, while Mei Qian was fascinated by the "eating broadcast". When the pancakes Mei Qian gave her were almost finished, she remembered that she hadn't answered Mei Qian's question just now.

"It's very nice here. I've been here for several days and I haven't heard of any Xirong soldiers coming after me."

After hearing Ling Jiao's answer, Mei Qian came back to her senses.

"Well, then... there are so many people living here, do you feel there is any inconvenience here?"

"what?"

Lingjiao turned his head and looked at Mei Qian, not understanding the meaning of Mei Qian's question.

"I mean here, everyone lives in such a simple shack, and there is no place to take shelter when it rains. In a place like this, don't you have any complaints here?"

"I finally survived, so I have nothing to complain about. Even if there are, those individual people don't need to be taken care of by the military master or the county magistrate. The big guys below can take care of them."

Lingjiao replied that she felt that what Mei Qian was talking about was purely out of her mind. If someone really did this, someone would have done it a long time ago.

"Then...is there enough food here?"

When Mei Qian asked about food, she looked at the pancakes in her hand that she had not eaten yet.

She asked this question because she was inspired by this unpalatable pancake.

This pancake is unpalatable, mostly because of the ingredients used.

Just make this for them to eat. Even the food they eat here in Changping is like this. It's hard for Mei Qian not to wonder how much food the people who hurried up the mountain have.

"I don't know." Lingjiao shook his head uncertainly and replied, "I, I didn't bring anything with me. I only relied on the kindness of adults to survive..."

Lingjiao herself had absolutely nothing to eat, and she relied on doing odd jobs in the gang to survive. She didn't know if others had enough to eat.

"Then what do everyone do here on weekdays?"

Mei Qian didn't get a clue when asking about the food, so she asked what these people were doing during the day if they were hiding here.

"The adults will organize everyone to patrol and watch nearby..."

Lingjiao answered carefully, and Mei Qian listened carefully until the sun had completely set. Mei Qian then asked Lingjiao to go back while it was still light.

Watching Ling Jiao's back, Mei Qian stood at the entrance of the cave and stared for a while, until she could no longer see Ling Jiao's figure, and then Mei Qian turned around and returned to the cave.

After lighting a pile of firewood to disperse the coolness in the cave, and sleeping during the day, Mei Qian was no longer sleepy.

Not feeling sleepy, Mei Qian simply clicked on the exchange system to see the recently exchanged food and take stock of the things she had stored in her space.

Most of them are food, as well as the gold, silver, and weapons that they keep.

Mei Qian didn't have to worry about food. With weapons, Mei Qian was a little disgusted with her own skills.

If she had Mei Shitou's physique, she wouldn't be anxious.

Mei Qian raised her eyebrows when she clicked on the private message.

That weird plane exchanger, Taoist Master Yuehua, actually sent her a private message.

[Yuehua (Weird Plane): I have some good heroic rice recently, do you want to eat it instead? 】

[Yuehua (Weird Plane): I haven’t seen you uploading food recently. Have you blocked me, or has something happened to you? 】

[Yuehua (Strange Plane): You and I exchanged several bowls of heroic rice some time ago. Did you encounter something that couldn't be solved? Maybe Pindao can solve it for you. 】

Looking at the three private messages in a row, Mei Qian had to consider her reply:
[Mei Qian (fleeing plane): I have been fleeing from a war recently. I will exchange what I have not eaten until conditions are met before continuing. 】

As soon as she sent it, there was an immediate reply——

[Yuehua (Strange Plane): Fighting? Wouldn’t that mean a lot of people died? Don’t you really think about feeding it with heroic rice? If matured. From now on, you can hit wherever you point, it will be more honorable! 】

Mei Qian:? ? ?
I played "Minecraft" last night and planned to restore Mei Qian's shabby cave, and then I found out that it was quite beautiful as I thought_(3」∠)_
