Author: I get drunk when I smile

After walking for a while, Xiao Jing suddenly said, "This time when we go to the city, we will exchange more resources. We will not go on missions for the time being. You can just practice well at home. I am going to go back to Fengyao Star."

"Go back?" Qi Zhen was stunned for a moment, "You felt it too?

"I have often gone on missions before and have experience with weather changes. The barrier in the restricted area may affect my judgment, but now it is obvious."

"Autumn...is really coming?" This summer is too short. Calculated according to the shortest year, there should be three years, plus one year, no, half a year of autumn, there are still three and a half years, enough for her

Most of the winter supplies were stored. It was so much ahead of schedule. No matter how calm Qi Zhen was, she could not help but feel a little panicked. "Did you just say you wanted to go back to Feng Yaoxing?"

"Well, there is no news here. We need to go back and find out the specific situation. This summer seems to have been suddenly cut off. Autumn is bound to be greatly shortened, and winter may be even longer. We have to be fully prepared. But don't worry, I'm here with you.

." He has saved a lot of money over the years, which is enough to support her. "Do you want to come together?"

"You must have a lot of things to deal with when you go back this time. Time is tight, so I won't follow you. Moreover, the power upgrade has not been clarified yet, so we can't delay it any longer."

Xiao Jing was a little regretful, but thinking about taking her back now, he really couldn't accompany her every day. It would definitely be uncomfortable for her to stay alone in a strange place. She also had to deal with a group of unfamiliar garrison family members, plus his position

Embarrassed, I don’t feel at ease no matter how much I think about it. “When we have free time, let’s get them together.”

"Okay. Hey, I think I saw the Elaeagnus jujube tree. Please put me down."

"I'll carry you there!"

As soon as they arrived near the Elaeagnus jujube tree, Qi Zhen immediately jumped off Xiao Jing's back, "I'm walking around. There are a lot of exotic plants here, and there should be a lot of supplies."

"Be careful of strange beasts, let the sun be with you."

"Quick——" When did it become a guard? It was clearly an assistant before.

Qi Zhen took a general look and found that there were indeed a lot of supplies. In addition to radicchio, there were also many wild vegetables. What surprised her most was an above-ground river. It might only be regarded as a stream, but it was indeed on the ground. "We still have

There are a few empty buckets, let’s collect some water and take them back.”

"Two of them, one was cleared from the watering ground and one was found in the basement."

"Then fill these two buckets first. I will install the water pump and come back to pick Elaeagnus with you."

"No rush."

Wild Elaeagnus are large in size, each one about the size of a thumb. There are as few as five or six in a bunch, and as many as twelve or three. It looks like you can pick a lot. There are two trees in total, one of them has yellow fruits, and there are particularly many thorns on the branches.

, you will get a hole in your hand if you are not careful, but the other burgundy thorn has fewer thorns.

"It's a waste of time to pick them one by one. The Elaeagnus are ripe and fall off when touched. You have to pick them up on the ground." Qi Zhen thought for a moment, took out the sheets from the bracelet, and directed Dahua and

The sun is spreading under the tree. "Xiao Jing, go up the tree and shake the branches."

Xiao Jing immediately climbed up the tree, shaking and stomping his feet, and the Elaeagnus plopped down on the sheets like rain. There were also small branches and leaves falling together. It didn't look very clean, but it saved a lot of effort. He returned

Just take your time and choose.

When the Elaeagnus was spread all over the bed sheet, Qi Zhen grabbed the four corners of the bed sheet, lifted it up and poured it into the basket, and then continued. The two Elaeagnus trees were almost harvested in less than an hour, totaling five baskets. It was an absolute bumper harvest. She was very happy.

, they left all the scattered Elaeagnus jujubes hanging on the trees and those scattered on the ground to the sun and the big flowers as snacks, but they were very happy.

Xiao Jing found a lot of dry energy fruit trees in the woods, and the two simply separated. He just cut down the trees and Qi Zhen was responsible for collecting the ingredients.

She first found a piece of wild beans, which are mid-level nutritious ingredients. However, because no one has picked them for a long time, the beans have aged a lot. Some of them are barely edible, and their nutrition has dropped a lot. The other part can only be left as seeds. Only the tops are still tender. Qi Zhen

She picked them all and didn't want to throw away any of them. Anyway, she didn't have carob seeds and the land at home happened to be empty, so she tried to plant some.

Although the germination rate of the wild ones is not high, there are so many seeds, and they are all picked up for free. The price of nutritious seeds above the intermediate level in the dungeon is not low, and they are often out of stock. If you want to buy them, you have to rely on connections or try your luck. Anyway, it is quite troublesome.

of.

Huh? Those are...potatoes? Qi Zhen grabbed a potato seedling and looked at it carefully, barely matching the number in her memory. Suddenly she laughed out loud. Why was she bothering to dig it up? She just couldn't dig it up. She took it out.

The shovel dug downwards at a distance, and with the second shovel, she dug out a round, dusty potato, the size of a fist. Her accuracy was a bit extraordinary, and she peeled off a piece.

Qi Zhen felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly put away the spade and replaced it with a shovel. The sandy soil is easy to dig, but it is better to dig a few more shovels than to dig too much. The nutrition of potato seedlings cannot keep up, and the fruit is small, and it is as big as a fist. One plant

There were only two or three, leaving almost a series of ping pong balls, which were so well-proportioned that it looked quite infuriating. She dug them all out and managed to get a basket of mostly big ones and half a basket of small ones.

After that, I didn’t come across many mid-level nutritious vegetables, they were all low-level ones, such as Chinese cabbage, leeks, taro, etc. There were quite a lot of varieties but the quantity was too small, and some were barely enough for one meal.

In the afternoon, Qi Zhen finally found a cornfield. Although it was also a mid-level nutritious food, it was still full of grains. She just didn't like to eat food made from corn. If it was tender, she would be happy to cook it.

, it can also be grilled.

But this was obviously getting old, and the corn kernels on the cob were hard and dry. Apart from grinding it into flour and steaming it into steamed buns, or beating some corn grits and making porridge with millet, Qizhen could not think of any other way to eat it. She would eat it once in a while.

Okay, I can’t bear to eat it every day.

It’s not a pity if it’s just like this. At worst, you can give it back to Taiyang and Dahua. Maybe Dahua is as nutritious as one egg a day.

It was almost evening when the family finished their work and hurried home in the dark.

Time was running out, and the two of them got busy as soon as the sun appeared the next day. The adobe in the yard had been dried, and they were building sheep pens and chicken coops first. In order to prevent the heavy snow in winter from crushing the warm rolls, Xiao Jing spent some time building them.

The foundation was built. The stones buried in the foundation were ready-made, and they brought some of them back after digging. Although there was no cement, the mud from the groundworms could make up for it.

Qi Zhen handed over the adobe bricks, while Xiao Jing just built the walls. The two worked together tacitly and quickly built the surrounding walls. After being exposed to the sun at noon, the roof could be built in the afternoon. There were still a lot of rafters left from the last time the canopy was built, which was just enough.

Make beams.

Most of the day has passed since the warm rolls were covered. The materials can be sorted out slowly, but the insulating stones... Xiao Jing wants to build the cellar with insulating stones before leaving. But how to stick it to the wall is a problem, first of all

I was considering mud, but unexpectedly it wasn't sticky enough.

"We only have vegetable glue at home, and I'm afraid it's not even as good as mud." Qi Zhen gestured at the wall with a piece of isolation stone, "Maybe we don't need to assemble it directly. These isolation stones themselves contain energy, and they might be damaged.

When they are put together, they form a whole. Adding mud or glue will actually affect the energy flow! I only put three pieces together and they were connected."

"Awesome!" Xiao Jing patted the isolation stone on the wall, "It's solid and extremely strong. It seems like it should have been built here."

"It's amazing!" Qi Zhen couldn't help but touch it again, feeling incredible.

"It means we used it correctly."

"Let's fight quickly. After that, take a rest early. We have to go to the dungeon tomorrow."

"Um."
