Chapter 376: GET

Exploring the way, the most time-consuming part is exploring this word.

The whole journey is actually not long, but finding the best and most accessible position is the most difficult part.

Now that there are so many herbs covering the ground in the woods, it is even more difficult to find a suitable path, so he spent a week last time and only explored a little more than one kilometer.

Zhao Yeqing calculated the time carefully.

"Look, the sun rises at 6:30 in the morning and sets at about 6:30 in the evening, so there are twelve hours of daylight in between."

"If I leave at dawn, I can reach the end of your exploration at around 9:30, then start work, work until 4 p.m., and then walk back. When I get home, the sun will have just set."

"There are more than seven hours of time to work, and you don't have to live in the mountains. What do you think?"

Mu Xi was in a dilemma again.

It reminded him of when he first returned to Meishan. He had thought about letting Zhao Yeqing cook at home so that she wouldn't have to go out to work in the fields and he could do it all. She wouldn't have calluses on her hands anymore.

But then he thought, the environment is so harsh, and it might not be a good thing to protect her like this. If something happens to him, Zhao Yeqing will not be able to survive alone in the mountains.

Besides, even if he was willing, Zhao Yeqing would not agree given his personality.

Later, when they were looking for water, they encountered hyenas. That was the closest time for both of them to death. Since then, his mentality has changed. As long as Zhao Yeqing wanted to do something that was not very dangerous, he would support her, just wanting her to accumulate more skills to survive.

But the last time he left Zhao Yeqing alone at home, when he returned home he saw blood all over the floor. The panic at that moment made his ears ring sharply, his vision became blurred, and he felt so suffocated that his heart almost stopped beating.

Now every time I think of it, my heart aches.

He just couldn't agree to let Zhao Yeqing go alone.

"Now that the crops outside have been harvested, we don't have to worry about the cattle and sheep being destroyed even if we let them out every day. I'll go with you."

Zhao Yeqing didn't expect that Mu Xi would be so difficult to convince this time:

"There are two pastures at the door. If you park the cattle and sheep at the door, it will be like delivering vegetables. The sweet potatoes in the vegetable garden are still growing. Besides, you have lived in the mountains for a week and have not seen any. I am sure I will not see any either. You cannot go. You have to stay at home and make silage."

She has had bad luck in lotteries since she was a child. It has never been her turn to win a prize. It is unlikely that she will win with such a low probability.

Mu Xi knew that he couldn't persuade her. Thinking that he would be back in the evening anyway and didn't need to stay overnight, and that the silage pit at home still needed to be tidied and refilled, he finally sighed, "Then you must be careful. I'll take you to the swamp tomorrow and come back."

It was only noon, and after lunch the two drove out to the tourist area to find an electric car.

Those electric bikes parked outdoors have long been broken. After being exposed to wind and rain for so long, the shell and seat cushions will almost break if you pinch them.

But Mu Xi also moved these electric bikes to a room. "Even though they can't be ridden, the parts inside are still usable. Now they are indoors. When there is a problem with the bike and parts need to be replaced, all these can be dismantled."

The two recalled their memories of looking for something before, and vaguely remembered seeing the electric car in a certain room.

After searching for a long time, I didn't find the electric car, but I did see an electric tricycle.

Zhao Yeqing patted the seat of the tricycle, stirring up a cloud of dust. "I've seen this car before. It seems to be the same model as the one in Meishan."

This place is a small warehouse of a family. The two of them found the PC boards for building a planting basement next to this house.

Mu Xi took the electric car key from the nail on the warehouse wall. After inserting it, the panel did not light up, and there was no response after turning the accelerator.

"It has been kept in there all this time, so it shouldn't break. I guess it's out of power."

I hung the key back on the wall and remembered the location of the tricycle so I could get it next time I needed it.

Zhao Yeqing bent down and walked out of the half-opened rolling gate. "You know what, the tricycle we saw earlier should be big enough to get into the forest. Maybe it can be used when we need to move things in the future."

After Mu Xi came out, he turned around and pulled down the shutter door. "Now that I've found the tricycle, I know where the electric car is. After I found the tricycle last time, I saw the electric car in one of the two or three houses ahead of here."

There was only a restaurant and two farmhouses in front, and the three words "Accommodation Available" on the small sign hanging on the door had weathered and faded.

The two walked into the nearest small courtyard, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw a bright red electric scooter parked on the first floor.

The house is quite new, all the windows are tightly closed, there is not much dust inside, and there is only a thin layer of dust on the car.

The car key was hanging on the hook on the front of the car. Zhao Yeqing inserted the key, but there was no response.

"Move it back and charge it first, then try again."

Zhao Yeqing unplugged the electric car charger from the plug, Mu Xi pushed the car out, and opened the trunk after getting to the SUV. The trunk was empty, and after adjusting the back seats, the two of them worked together to stuff the electric car in.

After returning home, the first thing they did was to charge the electric car to check whether the car was in good condition.

While waiting to charge, prepare the food you will need for tomorrow's trip into the mountains.

When we come back to eat in the evening, we only need to prepare lunch. We don’t have to worry about the food spoiling in a short time. It’s not like when Mu Xi was in the mountains before, he could only eat water-soaked noodles and dried meat for several days in a row.

In this weather, even dry steamed buns will go bad easily and become sour in two days at most.

After Mu Xi prepared dinner, he left some dishes in a lunch box and stored it in the refrigerator. He could take it out directly in his backpack when he woke up the next morning.

I also put some fried flour and dried meat in the backpack so that I would have emergency food in case of any accidents and get trapped in the mountains.

After dinner, the two went to check the electric car again. Sure enough, the battery icon on the panel was lit up. They unplugged the charger, turned the key, and gently turned the accelerator, and the wheels began to turn.

Mu Xi got on the car and turned around in the front yard. "No problem, it's just that the tire is a little underinflated. I brought back an air pump from the back of the team last time. I'll fill it up in a while."

After saying that, he stopped the car, opened the top cover of the battery compartment, checked it and said:

"The battery is quite large, with a charge of more than 2,000 watts, so it can be used for a long time. It also has enough horsepower. I guess it has something to do with the owner of this car often driving on meadows. If the horsepower is not enough, it may not be able to drive in some places."

Zhao Yeqing felt itchy when he saw the electric bike, so he urged him to close the lid, "I haven't ridden it for a long time, let me try."
