After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

Beside him, Zhou Fang was a little confused.

But she immediately quickened her pace and followed him, holding a half-eaten snake skewer in her hand.

Because it had just rained, the mudflats along the river were not easy to walk on.

After the two of them stepped on it, although their entire feet were not submerged, half of the shoe was submerged.

Walking to a stop in front of the bush full of "sausages", Zhang Liu looked back at Zhou Fang's shiny black leather boots that were now stained with mud. He said, "Next time, let's tie two pieces of wood on our feet as a buffer, right?"

"Zhang Liu, what are you doing here?" Zhou Fang didn't mind the mud on her feet. At this moment, she was more curious about why the other party suddenly came here like this.

"For this." Pointing at the plant in front of him that looked like a sausage, Zhang Liu finally remembered something and said, "Cattail!"

Hearing this, Zhou Fang looked at the long furry plant in front of her with great curiosity.

Different from Zhang Liu who directly decided to become a sausage, although her family was in decline, she could still be considered as a well-informed person.

So the cattail that looked like "sausage" to Zhang Liu did not bring up many associations for Zhou Fang.

At most, I feel that the fruit of this grass looks strange.

Just now, from a distance, she thought this thing was edible.

But after walking in, just looking at the rough surface was enough for Zhou Fang to confirm that the food in front of her was not something that could be eaten casually.

From the look on his head teacher's face, he could tell that the other party might not recognize cattail, so Zhang Liu smiled and told the reason why he came: "I remember the cafeteria aunt said that it is edible."

There is a field of wild rice next to the school’s lake.

And there are a few cattails growing on the edge of the茭白 field.

He had heard a little about this when he was harvesting wild rice stems with his aunt while wearing rain boots.

That is when cattails can be eaten when they are tender.

It is said that the taste is quite good and it is a "special delicacy" enjoyed by the cafeteria aunt herself.

When Zhou Fang heard Zhang Liu say that the plants in front of them were edible, she showed a look of curiosity on her face.

She reached out the hand that wasn't holding the skewer and gently grasped the cattail seed sac that was shaped like a candle.

Zhou Fang wanted to touch it to try out the feel.

After all, this thing doesn't look like it's edible.

The next second, she broke the thing in her hand.

To the touch, the cattail felt slippery to Zhou Fang, just like a sponge soaked with water.

After the inside is broken off, it is similar to a dandelion, a fluffy ball, but it is not as easy to float in the wind as the latter.

"Hey?"

Looking at the half of cattail in her hand, she exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face.

Zhou Fang never thought that she would be able to break it so easily...

"These are cattail seeds. They are inedible."

He took in the surprised expression on his homeroom teacher's face as he subconsciously retracted his hand.

Then Zhang Liu smiled and said:

"It's not the flesh that's edible, but the tender core."

Speaking of playing, he lowered his head and found a dozen green-looking sprouts from the large patch of cattails and cut them off with the blade of a fire hammer.

After finishing the food preparation, Zhang Liu called Zhou Fang to leave.

This aquatic plant is a paradise for various mollusks or snakes.

Just now, when he was pushing aside the old cattails and cutting the young cattails, he had already seen several soft-bodied yellow planarians.

Zhou Fang was so focused on the broken cattail that she didn't notice a black soft-bodied insect at her feet.

Otherwise, even if she didn't scream, she would be scared.

The distance from the two-meter-high cattail bush to the big banyan tree with the bonfire was only a hundred meters at most, so Zhang Liu and Zhou Fang arrived there quickly.

Putting down the twelve young cattail stems in his hand, Zhang Liu began to use a blade to break open the outer skin and obtain the core inside.

Unlike chewing raw plantain cores, eating fire-roasted palm cores is different.

As for the cattail core, he planned to cook it in snake bone soup before eating it.

After all, those bugs are really disgusting...

Sitting next to Zhang Liu, Zhou Fang watched his actions with a smile.

She now really likes the feeling of being "arranged" by Zhang Liu.

Because in this way, I don't need to work as hard as before to figure out how to be a good leader.

Instead, you can calmly accept the arrangements and then do what you can.

Although the hug just now was a temporary measure.

But after calming down, Zhou Fang began to feel shy...

It was the first time that she was touched extensively by a man.

Before, even if you went to the hospital for a physical examination, you had to have a female doctor.

However, just now, he gave Zhang Liu a tight hug.

This can't be explained by holding hands.

Gently holding her chin with her palm, Zhou Fang looked at Zhang Liu with a strange look in her eyes...

..............................

Time soon came to before noon.

When Zhang Liu and Zhou Fang were eating cattail cores stewed with snake bones, and then continued to float down in the river.

Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, Xiang Wanying, and Zhao Yiran have also been trekking for a long time and have successfully collected a lot of mint leaves. They are currently picking up the peppercorns that have fallen on the ground.

With it, add table salt.

The four people whose mouths were bland because they only ate taro and some bacon jerky will be able to enjoy grilled lamb slices with pepper and salt tonight.

"Speaking of which, the road here is really difficult to walk on..."

Zhao Yiran started complaining while putting the pepper he picked up into the bamboo tube in his hand.

"If we classify it based on soil material, this place can no longer be considered inside the hill, right?"

Qin Ruoshuang was right beside her.

After hearing the other party's complaints, she also said with a smile:

"The soil on the mountain is relatively compact, but here it's very loose."

“It’s definitely not in the mountains.”

I turned my head and looked behind me, but the terrain seemed to have not changed much.

Then he spoke to Wanying:

"We have been walking for a whole morning, and we have been walking on flat ground. Even if we only calculate based on the length of the slope, we should have walked out of the mountain."

Having said that, she looked at Qin Ruoyan.

The route everyone is taking now is completely in accordance with the notes written by the other party on the map.

But this is the last leg of the journey.

"I don't know how to go on the road ahead. I can only go through the forest and use a knife to clear the way." Noticing the look in Xiang Wanying's eyes, Qin Ruoyan looked at the ridge in front of her that was full of ferns and bushes and answered, "This is the farthest place Ruoshuang and I have reached."

"I understand." Xiang Wanying nodded slightly, looked at Xiang Lingying and Qin Ruoshuang and asked, "Should we eat lunch before leaving, or wait until we are hungry before eating lunch?"

Chapter 314: The cute argument between two little girls

When they set out this morning, Qin Ruoyan and the others knew that it would be a difficult journey.

So they all stuffed taro into their stomachs to achieve the effect of long-term satiety.

The mutton, which was originally intended as a breakfast side dish, became a food supplement during the journey.

In this way, even if they have been working here for a while, the girls are not very hungry.

There is even a sense of comfort, as if one is full and digesting the food well.

"Why don't we just wait until we're tired before talking about lunch?"

As Qin Ruoyan spoke, she picked up a piece of mint and put it in her mouth, chewing it lightly.

Feel the slightly spicy yet refreshing taste from the tip of your tongue.

She was very excited and said, "We will build a shelter after we finish eating. We will do the same for tomorrow. We will eat two meals a day. This should maximize our travel efficiency."

Hearing Qin Ruoyan's suggestion, everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

After placing the collected pepper grains in a bamboo tube and securing it in a book basket, the four of them set off together.

The one walking in front was Xiang Wanying.

At this moment, she had begun swinging the half-meter-long metal sheet in her hand to chop the various ferns and bushes in front of her.

Zhao Yiran and Qin Ruoshuang were responsible for widening the road.

Qin Ruoyan checked along the way to see if there were any resources suitable for collection.

........................

at the same time.

Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi, who were digging a hole in the goat jungle, received gifts "sent" by the little leopard.

With a cry of "Grandma", the little leopard pressed the bamboo rat he had put down with his claws.

It came to "visit" with food.

At this moment, the little guy was a little curious about Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi's digging behavior.

After putting down the bamboo rat as a "visit and tour fee", it began to watch attentively.

Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi were both very happy about the little leopard's visit.

Gu Xixi was still in the pit and it was inconvenient for her to come out, but Gu Qingrou, who was covered in mud, had already reached out her hand and wanted to hug her.

"Wow!" With a babyish cry, the little leopard decisively dodged the "black hand" of the guy in front of him.

"Hmm..." Faced with the horrifying situation of being disliked by the cute and silly little guy, Gu Qingrou immediately showed an autistic expression.

At the same time, she also looked down at her body which was already covered in mud.

At this moment, Gu Qingrou was just glad that she didn't go out to work in her school uniform, otherwise it would take a long time to wash the uniform.

"Miss, please take a rest." Gu Xixi looked at Gu Qingrou's slightly embarrassed appearance, and then she smiled and said, "Leave the work of resting around to me, you go wash your hands, and then play with the little guy for a while?"

As a maid, Gu Xixi's most subconscious thought was not to let her young lady get tired.

"No need." Shaking her head, Gu Qingrou gave up on continuing the intimate behavior with the little leopard.

Squatting beside the cave entrance, she began to use the shovel in her hand to move the soil on the edge little by little to the bottom.

Because there are no spike-like objects in the trap.

So theoretically, the killing power is not strong. Even if a goat offends it, the most it can do is kill it by surprise.

To prevent the goat from falling down and then running up.

Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi were planning to shape the edge into an inverted trapezoid, with the top larger and the bottom smaller.

This job requires two people to work together.

At the moment, Gu Xixi was digging the soil with a shovel and sending it outside, while Gu Qingrou was responsible for scraping the soil off the edge.

At this moment, the trap pit was more than one meter wide and nearly one and a half meters deep. Gu Xixi was standing inside and her shoulder blades were almost reached, but she continued to dig down, and Gu Qingrou also continued to shovel the soil.

After the two of them waited for Zhang Liu to come back, they proudly stated that the captured lambs were all their credit!

And at the same time.

Anya, Su Yan, and Lan Yueting were looking at the trees in front of them with troubled expressions.

"Well, do we still need to peel the bark?"
