Chapter 15 Rice is coming
He has been reborn for at least two months, and he thinks he has some knowledge of this world, but the changes in the sky in recent days are still beyond his expectations.
The footsteps in the corridor are getting louder and louder, but there is no intention to enter the house.
There were barbecues, fruits, and tangerines. Li Ziqi did not open the door, but he prepared more and more arrows.
In the past few days, I have set up a target on the wall in the middle of the house, and recently my level has barely reached the eight-ring mark within ten meters.
Occasionally I would look out through the cracks in the window. The haze was getting worse day by day. Even the fruit trees in the yard could not be seen clearly. I could vaguely hear the sound of the man-eating trees chewing, as if something had broken into the yard.
ri.
He was very lucky to have built this wall early.
Ordinary people might go crazy in such a dull environment, but Li Ziqi is enjoying himself.
Every day when I wake up naturally, I practice archery, tease Xiao Ju during my free time, and then figure out how to barbecue and buy tools for the house.
A lot of wooden cups, chopping boards, chopsticks, and fruit plates are prepared.
To be honest, he really likes cooking. In his previous life, he had too little time to calm down, so he didn't do any research on eating.
Lying on the sheepskin mat, he would think about the recipes he remembered.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, steamed buns in mutton soup, spicy chicken, braised pork with pickled vegetables.
The more I think about the recipes in my memory, the more I unconsciously start thinking about it. If I can find plants, or I can calm down and restore the things on these recipes.
Da da da.
The sound outside the door rang again, extending from the door to the bottom of the window. The sound was very soft, like raindrops.
This new neighbor seems to have made the same promise.
In such a tacit understanding of life, Li Ziqi finally gave in and consumed all the fruits stored in the cellar. He never liked being hungry and opened the door first.
With a bow wrapped around his waist, arrows on his back, and a machete as his tool, he is bound to give the aggressor a thunderous blow.
The corridor is empty, but there are many branch-like footprints on the ground, crisscrossing vertically and horizontally, proving that there are indeed living things moving here these days.
Today's fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it's blurry just three to five steps away. The rain a few days ago made the ground muddy.
He misses the days with sunshine.
Fortunately, the yard was not damaged. A faint fruity fragrance flowed in the yard, and there were many ripe fruits.
Xiao Ju doesn't seem to like this kind of weather. She always wants to take a nap by the fire, as if she has entered hibernation. Except when eating meat, she is mostly listless.
However, he was still dragged out of the patrol by Li Ziqi. After all, there is only one top combat force at the moment.
Outside the door is a wooden corridor with a sun-proof awning on top. Along the corridor from the lumber room to Xiao Ju's home, no sign of living creatures was found.
It seems that the guy who broke in was more afraid of him.
Li Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief and started picking fruits. He didn't know how long the fog would last. To prevent accidents, he needed to prepare more rations.
After the rain, the ground became extremely muddy. When I stepped on it, half of my foot sank in. Without the sun, the water vapor here no longer evaporated at all.
He also concluded a rule: natural evaporation does not exist in this world.
The firewood had to be spread flat to form a simple wooden bridge, which crookedly led to the hawthorn tree.
"It is necessary to repair the yard."
The shaky road made him uncomfortable, and he was thinking of hardening the yard after the thick fog passed.
If it doesn't rain again, I can only huddle up in the house.
Fortunately, the fruit tree is not far from the house. After being irrigated by rainwater, the hawthorn tree has become stronger and stronger. Many bright red fruits hang on it, and the branches are lush and leafy, making it very lively.
Many of the branches have exposed buds, and the next crop has begun to grow.
Climbing trees is now easy for Li Ziqi, and the magical tool in his hands becomes a fruit picker that can be shortened and lengthened at will.
There are small scissors on the front and a small cloth bag on the bottom. I just sketched this small tool in my mind, but I never thought it would actually become a reality.
This is much more convenient. Just cut it gently and the fruit will naturally fall into the pocket below.
There are two hawthorn trees, and the yield is the most abundant. I picked a full bunch. Bananas and pineapples are not in the ripe season, so their contribution is quite limited. The happiest thing is the watermelon-like fruit, which is not only big in size, but also has a large yield.
, I went back and forth several times, and half of the storage room was full.
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Li Ziqi was very satisfied.
If you were a fruit seller, you would definitely make a fortune.
After picking the fruits, I tentatively looked at the trap harvest. Unfortunately, the further away from the house, the muddy the ground became, so I had to give up.
Close the door, lie down by the campfire, cut a watermelon, and count the lines on the ceiling.
Thumb thump!
Footsteps sounded from the window and extended to the door.
After seeing how cowardly this guy was, Li Ziqi got interested and leaned in front of the door to see who it was.
The slender white legs flashed past the crack in the door.
Li Ziqi scratched his head, unable to connect with the imaginary species, and his body looked like a silhouette.
After staying in this deep mountain and old forest for a long time, I still want to see people.
It's best to be a young lady.
"Maybe there's no malice."
I opened the door lightly, wanting to greet this being from another world cordially, but the door latch only clicked softly, and my footsteps ran away like a frightened pheasant.
After opening the door, there is only a row of tree root-shaped footprints in the corridor.
"I have never seen such timidity."
After confirming that there was no danger in the yard, fortunately, I didn't close the door anymore. I lay on the wolf-skin quilt and sewed a rabbit-skin jacket while looking at the increasingly dense fog outside.
Without the sun, it was impossible to tell the time. Li Ziqi vaguely felt that the thick fog had lasted for about ten days.
In recent days, the chaotic sounds in the rainforest have gradually disappeared, and the animals seem to have died.
Without the alternation of the sun and the moon, the temperature in the rainforest is very stable, and the moisture is refreshing, which is a good time to maintain health.
Bring a plate of bananas, cut half a watermelon, put some hawthorn, brew a cup of leaf water, grab a small bench, lean against the porch, and sit quietly in the corridor.
"It would be nice to have a book."
The thing he hated the most before was now a bit missed, and he stretched out his hands to scratch his head, which was bare.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Without salt supplement, his hair loss became more and more obvious.
If the sun doesn't come out, he can't go out to find salt, so this problem cannot be solved.
Salt is not very important. He now wants to play games and read novels.
I used to be busy working to make money and had no time, but now I have a lot of time.
It's a pity that there is no Tiandao Library.
In such a foggy day, time suddenly became very slow, and Li Ziqi was so bored that he counted the branches and footprints on the ground.
Based on the footprints, it was initially determined that it was a human being. Unfortunately, since the door was opened, there was no trace of the person.
He followed the footprints several times to search, but every time he disappeared for no apparent reason in front of the woodshed.
There is nothing there.
Although I can't understand it, there are too many things in this world that I can't understand, and it's not too much to explore.
It’s all up to chance.
When it was quiet, he liked to hear the sound of people walking in the corridor.
Li Ziqi closed the door, sealed the windows, lit a bonfire, and then lay down on the rabbit skin mat. In less than half a day, the sound of "dong-dong-dong" appeared in the corridor again.
"There's no need to be so punctual."
Li Ziqi teased, he couldn't find the other party, but the other party could see him.
In order to express goodwill, Li Ziqi placed a plate of watermelon where the footprints disappeared that day. When he woke up and opened the door the next day, his plate was back with a small plate of long-grain rice in it.
The grains are slender, extremely hard, and light yellow, like a mixture of millet and rice. You can faintly smell the aroma of grains when you put it close to your nose.
Li Ziqi was a little surprised, not just because of the rice, but because the rice had been shelled.
This is a sign of a very mature civilization.
Of course, he was really greedy.
Continuously eating meat and fruits makes him in urgent need of supplementing whole grains.
The tool is turned into an iron pot, washed with clean water, filled with water again, and put on the fire. Without the technology of pottery and iron smelting, one can only use this primitive method to cook.
As the temperature continued to rise, the water began to boil, and soon, a sweet rice fragrance came out from the bursting bubbles.
Li Ziqi swallowed hard and ate fruit for two consecutive months. The smell was fatally tempting.
"Rice? No, it's super fragrant rice."
It smells so good.
Pure and authentic rice fragrance.
It’s definitely more than ten times more fragrant than the six-yuan rice.
There is no way to describe this smell with Li Ziqi's limited vocabulary. There is only one thing: fragrance.
There really is rice in this world.
Li Ziqi looked at the condensing rice grains, his eyes shining green.
"Sure enough, I still like to eat whole grains."
While cooking, Li Ziqi neatly placed three large watermelons at the end of the corridor. Looking at the empty plate, he didn't know what to put in it this time.
