Chapter 152: Too many tears!

Si Nanyu and Lu Jiansen were much calmer. They looked at each other, tacitly served the four people's meals, and ate in peace.

Gu Xiaoxi ate a bowl of rice and a small bowl of egg custard that Lu Jiansen helped her serve.

After eating and drinking, she really went into the tent and crawled into her sleeping bag to sleep.

Soon, Qi Shuangshuang also came in.

Lu Jiansen and Si Nanyu put away the things outside and then rested at the other end of the tent.

Outside, Zhong Jue whispered to Zhang Bingyi, "What should we do now?"

It's neither going up nor down at this time. It's a bit early for dinner. I went out to look for ginseng, but it's getting dark.

"Make some food, take it with you, and then go for a walk around, not too far, and come back around eight or nine o'clock," said Zhang Bingyi.

Zhong Jue nodded, "That's fine."

After hearing this, Fu Jiani immediately went to cook.

Anyway, she thought that if Gu Xiaoxi could dig ginseng, she could do it too.

The meal was ready, but the dishes became a problem.

Seeing that there was still some rabbit meat left in the pot, Fu Jiani filled a lunch box with it.

Zhong Jue saw it, but didn't say anything.

They can't just eat rice without vegetables.

At most, he would go out and hunt some game and then share some with Gu Xiaoxi and the others.

Half an hour later, the three of them left together.

…

Because no one disturbed him, Gu Xiaoxi slept until 4 a.m.

As soon as I put on my shoes, I heard an argument outside.

"These firewoods were picked by Xiaoxi and I. Why can't I use them?" Qi Shuangshuang's voice was very angry.

"I'm just saying that there isn't much firewood left. Can you please leave some for us? At worst, we can pick more and return them to you after daybreak." Fu Jiani felt very aggrieved and looked like she was about to cry.

"But I need it now. I want to make breakfast." Qi Shuangshuang was very persistent and did not intend to give in.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately put on his clothes and went out.

Seeing that only Qi Shuangshuang and Fu Jiani were outside the tent, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Qi Shuangshuang saw Gu Xiaoxi getting up and immediately said, "Xiaoxi, Lu Jiansen and Si Nanyu went to catch rabbits. I was preparing breakfast."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the place where the firewood was piled. There was not much firewood left, just enough to cook a breakfast.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Fu Jiani burst into tears with red eyes.

"Sister Gu, we have been out all night and just came back. Our hands and feet are so frozen. I just want to make some hot water for Brother Zhang and Brother Zhong Jue to warm their hands and soak their feet. I will go get some firewood after daybreak..."

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

Why are you crying in front of her again?

There are too many tears!

After holding back for a moment, she said calmly, "Why are you alone here? You don't dare to go collect firewood in the dark, so let Zhang Bingyi and Zhong Jue collect some! I'll go too, I want to boil water too."

Fu Jiani, who just wanted to get some firewood, was speechless.

At this time, Qi Shuangshuang said, "Zhang Bingyi and Zhong Jue didn't find any ginseng, so they are now hunting for game."

"Oh! Shuangshuang, please continue making breakfast! I'll pick up some branches nearby." Gu Xiaoxi went back to the tent, got a flashlight, and put on his cross-body bag.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi was serious, Fu Jiani suddenly refused to move after walking all night.

"Then I'll wait until daybreak to boil water!"

She didn't want to leave or move.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't try to persuade him and planned to go alone.

Qi Shuangshuang was worried and immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head. "No need. You continue to make breakfast. I won't go far."

As she said this, she gave Qi Shuangshuang a look.

Qi Shuangshuang immediately understood, "Then don't go too far."

Gu Xiaoxi thought that she had collected most of the firewood nearby yesterday, so she went to the place where the injured sika deer was found.

It's such a big dead tree. If you just cut a piece of it, it can be burned for a long time.

When she reached her destination, she used the separation technique to pull out the roots of the dead tree, then kicked the tree, preparing to throw it into the junk warehouse and choose a replacement method.

But what surprised her a little was that during this replacement, there were no wooden boards among the options in the new product showroom, but only saplings of various sizes.

There were outsiders here, so she couldn't plant trees suddenly. So she threw the selected saplings back into the junk warehouse.

This time, what she got was charcoal, 200 kilograms of high-quality charcoal.

Her expression was stunned, a little surprised, and a little delighted!

However, she felt that the disappearance of such a large dead tree was difficult to explain, so she used the garbage cleaning technique to sweep all the fallen leaves nearby here to cover up the traces of the dead tree being moved.

Then she walked a little further away, quickly gathered a pile of dead branches, and dried the moisture with the wind.

She didn't rush back, but continued walking forward.

Five minutes later, she suddenly stopped beside a tall, straight pine tree.

There is a lot of pine wood here, in fact, it is the best material for making furniture.

Or, pull one out?

While thinking this, she had already tried to use the separation technique to dig up the tree.

Yes, it is digging trees, not cutting them down.

Fortunately, the separation technique was really effective. In less than ten seconds, she felt that the tree was about to fall.

She thought about it and quickly put the tree into the second-hand grocery store.

This time was different from before. When she replaced the new product showroom, she had many different sizes and specifications of wooden boards to choose from.

She picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the junkyard to replace it again.

This time, she was given a sapling and no other choice.

Now it seems that only dead trees can be replaced by charcoal.

Thinking of this, she dug a hole and planted the sapling.

However, this time was different from her previous times. Because she cut down the tree, she did not receive any merit points even if she planted a tree.

But even so, she still chose a place and dug up thirty pine trees that were growing very well and replaced them with wooden boards.

Because she wants to make good use of the small accompanying space, and when she has time, she plans to build a large high-rise shelf to store things.

In this way, some things that are not convenient to place in the new product showroom can be placed on the shelves in the accompanying small space.

After all, not everything she produces is new.

She also replaced the dug trees with saplings, which can be considered sustainable development!

By the way, she picked up a bunch of branches from around.

Just as she was about to send the branches back to the camp, something suddenly moved in the bushes not far away.

As she was looking at it intently, a reddish-brown fox suddenly emerged from the bushes and ran away quickly.

Gu Xiaoxi was very surprised, but he didn't move and just looked at it silently.

But just as she turned around, the red fox turned back, flashed in front of Gu Xiaoxi, paused for two seconds, and then ran away again.

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

Why did she feel like the fox was asking her to follow it?

Of course, it is also possible that she had a misunderstanding.

So she stood there blankly for more than ten seconds, then turned and left.

Unexpectedly, the fox ran back again, circled around Gu Xiaoxi, and then ran away quickly.
