Chapter 220 Nectarine, dig up the tree directly
"How about we ride a motorcycle?"
After resting for more than ten hours, Meng Ci suggested as they set off.
According to Shen's accurate memory before the end of the world, to go from M City to M Town, one needs to go through several tunnels.
There are landslides in many places nowadays, and I think the tunnels have also collapsed and are impassable.
If the two of them go there, they may have to cross mountains and rivers.
Meng Ci thought of the several off-road motorcycles and off-road bicycles stored in the space, and it would be a good choice to use them at this time.
There is no rush to get to M Town, so two people can walk 20 to 30 kilometers a day and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
"Okay!" Shen Que nodded in agreement.
Meng Ci put the things into the space, and then rode a motorcycle alone.
As for Eggplant and the Eagle, Meng Ci thought about it and felt that he could let them squat in the back seat.
However, in order to prevent the two from falling, Meng Ci took two ropes from the space and tied them directly to the two people.
But after sitting for a while, Eggplant started to cry out and wanted to get down, so Meng Ci discussed it with Shen Que and decided to let the two of them run around freely on the ground.
Anyway, the road is not good and they ride slowly, so they are not worried that the two eggplants will not be able to keep up.
After leaving the low-lying area, Shen Que found a mountain road, and the two continued to walk up the mountain along the road.
Although the mountain road is less than two meters wide, fortunately it is paved with cement. However, every few steps, the road will collapse or sink.
Several sections of the road had previously experienced landslides, and the road was completely blocked by mud and large rocks, making it impossible for motorcycles to pass.
At first, Meng Ci thought about moving the soil and stones away and building a road so that it would be convenient for him to return.
But after moving more than a dozen stones, Meng Ci only felt sore back and waist, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Therefore, Meng Ci decisively gave up the plan to build the road.
He put the motorcycle that couldn't pass into the space, crossed the slope with his bare hands, and continued to move forward.
Three hours later, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.
There should have been residents living on the mountain before the end of the world. There are some two-story buildings standing in the mountain. It is estimated that the villagers were willing to use materials when building the houses, so there is not much damage.
To their surprise, Meng Ci and Shen Que actually saw a few peach trees while wandering around the mountain.
Now it is mid to late May, which is the time when nectarines are ripe. Each one is plump, round and rosy in color.
Meng Ci reached out and picked one, took out a bottle of water from the space, rinsed it, and the peach tasted sweet and crisp under the abundant sunlight.
Without hesitation, Meng Ci planned to dig up the three peach trees in front of him and plant them in the space so that he could eat them all the time.
I told Shen Que about this idea, and Shen Que naturally agreed.
However, the two men were not in a hurry to dig up the tree. Instead, they searched around and made sure that there was no one there. Then they took out the RV, ate some cake, and then took out a watermelon. The watermelon, which looked like red emerald, was shared among them.
Eggplant and Eagle also caught up at this time.
I guess he played too much and got hungry, so he stood at the door of the RV, staring eagerly.
The eggplant's white hair turned into a color that was neither yellow nor black, and was also covered with a lot of leaf debris. I guess it knew it was dirty, so it didn't dare to get on the RV.
The eagle is a pure black German Shepherd. It is impossible to tell whether there is any dirt on its body, but it is covered with a lot of cockleburs and other dirt.
The two of them stuck out their tongues and looked at their two owners expectantly like pugs.
Meng Ci also knew that their living quarters at the Xishan base were small and not big enough for two people to live in, so it was rare for them to come out, so it didn't matter if they were a little wild.
So he took out some food and fed them.
Of course, since these two are so dirty, don't expect him to let them get in the car in the future. Since they have so much energy, they have to run the rest of the way by themselves.
After resting for a little while, Meng Ci and Shen Que came with hoes to dig up the trees.
First pick the nectarines from the tree to prevent them from falling when digging the tree.
Meng Ci looked carefully and found that every peach was in good condition and had no worms.
After picking the peaches, you can dig up the tree.
Eggplant and Eagle, after having eaten and drunk enough and not feeling tired anymore, came over to help very actively.
There were three peach trees. We were very careful when digging because we were worried that the roots would be cut. It took more than an hour to dig completely.
Now we just go into the space and plant trees.
To prevent someone from suddenly coming and seeing them appear inexplicably, causing unnecessary trouble.
Meng Ci decided to collect all the traces left by the two into the space, then find a house to hide in, and then enter the space.
Unexpectedly, the house he found nearby gave Meng Ci a great shock.
Since the door of the house was locked, Meng Ci broke a window and entered directly.
At first, Meng Ci saw that the room where the glass was broken was a bedroom. There was only bedding on the bed and no other scary things, so he climbed in directly.
After only two steps into the room, Meng Ci saw a dead body between the innermost closet and the bed.
It was now difficult to tell whether the corpse was male or female. The clothes on the body were tattered and there were some maggots crawling on the corpse.
In the places not covered by clothes, one can seem to see white bones.
Meng Ci only took a quick look and then decisively climbed out the window.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Que was puzzled. He was still waiting for Eggplant and Xiongying to go in first, and he would follow behind.
Meng Ci's face was gloomy and he pulled back Eggplant who was about to rush in.
"There's a body near the closet."
The image of the maggots crawling on the corpse was still in Meng Ci's mind, and he felt that he would not want to eat rice for many days to come!
Shen Que knew that Meng Ci hated worms like maggots and mealworms, and thought it was all his fault for not insisting on going into the house first to check the situation, so he took the initiative to apologize to Meng Ci.
"What's the use of apologizing? Go to the next house first and take a look." Meng Ci said.
"good!"
Then Shen Que went to check the nearest house, looking upstairs and downstairs.
All I can say is that Shen Que was lucky, as no suspicious bodies were found this time.
Then he directly removed the door from the inside and let Meng Ci, Qiezi and others in.
The room was very dusty, with spider webs everywhere, and centipedes and other insects crawling on the ground.
But it's much better than the house with the corpse.
Two people, a wolf and a dog came to the more secluded kitchen and then entered the space.
When Eggplant saw that he had arrived in heaven, he wanted to take his wife to eat its sausage, but Meng Ci grabbed his ear.
"Ouch!" Eggplant looked at his owner in confusion.
"Let your wife eat the sausage by herself, and you come to dig a hole for us!"
I was digging up peach trees outside just now, and the eagle really helped.
But Eggplant, this guy, was digging and suddenly for some reason he pushed the soil back into the pit.
Or they just circle around the tree, affecting the digging progress.
At that time, Meng Ci pushed Qiezi to leave, but Qiezi stubbornly refused to listen.
