Chapter 235 Cactus and Bamboo Rat
After congratulating each other, everyone prepared to go their separate ways to look for supplies.
One group is for men and the other group is for women.
Gu Luan, Tang You, Qi Suhua, Huang Xi and Jingjing entered the forest.
They wanted to pick some fruits nearby and see if there were any mushrooms or wild vegetables.
"Ah, snake."
Tang You found another snake in the grass.
This time, she wasn't as panicked as the first time.
Tang You raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the snake, cutting it in half with one stroke.
"Youyou, you have become stronger."
Qi Suhua smiled and praised Tang You.
When we first met, Tang You was still a delicate young lady.
I used to be afraid of everything I encountered. Now things have changed so much.
"To live in the end times, you have to become powerful."
Tang You was not proud and smiled shyly.
"Come here."
In the distance, Gu Luan called out to Tang You and the other three.
Jingjing was the first to run over and shouted Gu Luan loudly.
Qi Suhua, Tang You and the other two walked over. They must have thought that Gu Luan had found something good, so she asked them to come over.
The three of them were a little looking forward to what was going on.
"Look, what are these?"
Gu Luan pointed to the distance and Tang You and the other three looked over.
Jingjing recognized it and said happily, "Mom, is that a cactus?"
A large patch of cactus occupies a small part of the island, and is covered with many cactus fruits.
Most of the fruits are ripe, bright red and particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Yes, it's a cactus!"
Qi Suhua spoke with a smile and walked quickly forward.
Tang You didn't understand why the cactus made Qi Suhua so happy.
"Sister Qi, isn't the cactus an ornamental plant?"
Tang You expressed his confusion.
"Haha, Youyou, cactus is not only an ornamental plant, it can also be eaten. The fruits on it can also be eaten."
Qi Suhua explained to Tang You.
Tang You suddenly realized and became happy too.
Although they have no shortage of food now, they are naturally happy to find something edible.
Tang You ran over and wanted to pick the cactus fruit, but was pricked by the thorns.
"Be careful, there are thorns on the cactus fruit."
Qi Suhua instructed Tang You.
Tang You said he understood, carefully picked a fruit and peeled it gently.
The flesh looked like dragon fruit, and Tang You lowered his head to take a bite.
It's a bit like eating dragon fruit, a little sour, and tastes pretty good.
The only drawback is that there are a lot of seeds in the fruit.
"Would you like to taste the cactus?"
Huang Xi peeled a cactus and let Tang You taste it.
Tang You wanted to refuse, but finally closed his eyes and took a bite.
A little sticky, a little sour, crispy yet a little soft.
It's edible, but not very tasty.
Tang You shook his head, "It's not delicious."
Huang Xi laughed out loud, "Of course it won't taste that good, but it can save lives."
In other words, they are not short of food now. If it were like at sea, they would rush to eat all the cacti.
Gu Luan said nothing and peeled a cactus fruit to taste it.
The taste was good, so she decided to pick some to take home.
Bring some cacti back with you so you can plant them in your space. The fruits will definitely taste better.
It won't look weird when you take this thing out in the future.
The four of them picked fruits together, and Jingjing also helped.
Qi Suhua was afraid that Jingjing would be pricked by the thorn, so she asked her to go and rest nearby.
Jingjing shook her head sensibly, "I want to help my mother."
Qi Suhua looked very relieved. The more sensible her daughter was, the more distressed she felt.
Everyone picked a basket full of cactus fruits.
There are still a lot left, and it will take a while to pick them all.
"I don't know how many years this patch of cactus has been growing."
Qi Suhua said with emotion that she felt very happy looking at these cacti.
Having food means they can survive better.
"Let's go over there and take a look."
Gu Luan pointed in a direction and walked over first.
Tang You and three others followed her.
With Gu Luan around, they wouldn't ask where I was going.
It seemed that as long as he was with Gu Luan, he would feel safe and there was no need to worry about anything.
This feeling comes out of nowhere, but it exists.
The five of them walked about a hundred meters, and Gu Luan stopped and said, "There is a bamboo forest ahead."
“There really is a bamboo forest.”
Qi Suhua looked over and saw a small bamboo forest hidden in the large forest.
This place is several hundred meters away from where they live. They usually don't come here because it could be dangerous.
Therefore they never discovered that there was a bamboo forest here.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian had explored it before, so they knew there was a bamboo forest here.
"Let's go and see if there are any bamboo shoots."
Qi Suhua was particularly happy today and ran over quickly.
There are many bamboos growing in the bamboo forest, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of bamboo leaves.
If you look closely, you can see a lot of bamboo shoots emerging from under the bamboo leaves.
Qi Suhua smiled from ear to ear, put the basket aside, squatted down and pulled apart the bamboo leaves.
Small bamboo shoots appeared in front of everyone.
The tender green bamboo shoots stand tall and straight, showing everyone the tenacity of life.
Qi Suhua didn't know what tough or not meant, she only knew that these were edible.
Fresh bamboo shoots can be fried and eaten, or they can be dried and preserved.
Qi Suhua called Huang Xi and Tang You to dig bamboo shoots quickly.
Tang You quickly agreed, squatted down and pulled aside the topmost bamboo leaves, revealing several cute bamboo shoots.
Gu Luan squatted down and started digging bamboo shoots.
The four of them were busy as hell, and Jing Jing was unable to dig. They were only responsible for pulling apart the bamboo leaves to look for bamboo shoots.
They dug out a large pile of bamboo shoots, and at a glance there were at least hundreds of them.
Gu Luan dug out a bamboo shoot and was about to throw it aside when a fat bamboo rat emerged from a small hole in front of her.
Gu Luan quickly grabbed the bamboo rat that was trying to run away, and picked it up to take a look.
"mouse?"
Tang You was startled by the bamboo rat in Gu Luan's hand.
"It's not a mouse, it's a bamboo rat."
Huang Xi explained to Tang You.
Tang You's eyes widened. "So this is a bamboo rat? It's chubby and so cute."
Tang You knew about bamboo rats, but had never eaten them.
"What's so cute about that? This is a delicious ingredient."
Qi Suhua said with a smile.
“Is it really delicious?”
In the past, Tang You would definitely reject this kind of food, but now he is very interested in it.
"tasty."
Qi Suhua nodded affirmatively. There were bamboo rats in her hometown and she had eaten them before.
"I'll make it for you guys tonight."
Gu Luan tied up the bamboo rat to prevent it from escaping.
One bamboo rat was definitely not enough, she wanted to catch some more.
Gu Luan had never eaten bamboo rat, but he had heard from others that it had no fishy smell and was delicious.
If the rats she catches are really delicious, she will plant some bamboo and raise some bamboo rats in the space.
When you want to eat it, just catch one and eat it.
This is a good idea, Gu Luan plans to catch a few more.
She listened carefully to the movements nearby, her eyes becoming sharp.
His body rushed out quickly like a swift predator.
The next moment, Gu Luan held another bamboo rat in his hand that was even bigger than the previous one.
The bamboo rat squeaked and struggled, trying to escape Gu Luan's grip.
"You're in my hands, and you still want to escape?"
Gu Luan sneered and tied up the bamboo rat.
She raised her hand to throw the bamboo rat aside, but found that Tang Youqi Suhua and the other three were staring at her in amazement.
"Sister Gu, you are so awesome!"
Jingjing ran over, stared at the bamboo rat for a while, then looked at Gu Luan with her cute eyes.
