Chapter 141: Dismantling the Camp and Heading to the First Base
After deciding to visit the base, the lives of Nan Ci and the other three became extremely regular.
Tomorrow morning, after getting up, I will wash, have breakfast, and then sort the goose feathers and weave cloth. Nan Ci and Taoist Mu Qianqian are also learning weaving from Zhou Ziyang.
Maybe it was because all three of them were talented, or maybe it was because they were eager to master this skill, so they learned very quickly.
Zhou Ziyang praised them again and again every day, and even sighed repeatedly, saying that if the three of them were born in their Zhou family, they would definitely be the best candidates to inherit the craft.
Even though Mu Qianqian liked to hear compliments, she felt amused and helpless after hearing Zhou Ziyang's praises too much.
However, there is a lot of joy.
They worked busily day after day, and after more than a month, they finally managed to weave all the goose feathers into cloth.
At this time, each of the four people had several sets of clothes that they could wear alternately.
There are countless small items such as gloves, hats, scarves, socks, etc. for each person.
These are all sewn with the leftover scraps from making clothes, and the main point is not to waste them.
Excluding the cloth they used themselves, there were still several hundred rolls of cloth left.
If they didn't sell it, the four of them would never have to worry about clothing for the rest of their lives.
They cut the goose into pieces, shaved the meat off the bones, and made it all into jerky or jerky.
The dried meat has no taste, but it is cooked. When you want to eat it, you can directly use it for secondary processing. Whether it is fried, stewed or boiled, the taste will be very good.
The jerky is marinated with various seasonings and then roasted, and does not require secondary processing.
When there is no condition to heat it, you can just eat it directly. It will just be a little harder and you need to chew it slowly.
If conditions permit, you can also bake it again. It will be more crispy and chewy after baking.
After removing the big bones, the goose meat, which originally looked like a mountain of meat and seemed like it would never be finished, was reduced by half.
After this person tried his best to pack, he became less conspicuous.
The goose bones were not wasted. After being cleaned, they were picked and fixed together to make two sleds, which could be used to pull supplies.
As for the goose skin, it is cleaned and nitrated to become soft and odorless leather.
This leather is not only strong, durable and tough, but also windproof and waterproof.
Spread it on the sled, put the supplies on top, and then cover it with another layer, so you don’t have to worry about the wind and snow soaking the supplies.
It can be said that all the parts of these geese were utilized from the skin to the meat, with no waste at all.
After collecting the geese, they also consumed some of their original supplies, so overall, the amount of their supplies did not change much.
Put some of it on the sled and the rest on the turtle's back.
After everything was packed up and the camp was dismantled, the four of them had mixed feelings.
Before they knew it, they had been living here for several months.
I met some survivors in the beginning, but I didn't meet anyone for a month or two.
Sometimes they even doubted whether they were the only four survivors in the world.
Although life here is relatively comfortable, it is not a long-term solution.
Looking at the rice being consumed as the days passed, Mu Qianqian couldn't help but worry.
Originally, Mu Qianqian didn’t really want to go to the base, but because Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest wanted to go, she followed them.
But now, Mu Qianqian has become the one among them who most wants to get to the base as soon as possible.
The tent was put away, but the outline of the igloo remained and the four men did not knock it down.
Maybe they will come back in the future and continue to use it.
Even if they don't come back, other survivors passing by here in the future will have a place to shelter from the wind.
After all, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade!
Sitting on the little turtle's back, Mu Qianqian clenched her right fist and raised it high, "Let's go!"
He had barely finished shouting when he started coughing violently.
As she shouted this, the wind and snow blew mercilessly into her throat.
Zhou Ziyang, who was standing by, patted Mu Qianqian's back gently while handing her the thermos cup with his other hand.
"Stop shouting and drink two sips of hot water. Be careful and drink slowly. This water has just been boiled. Don't burn your throat."
Mu Qianqian nodded repeatedly, holding the thermos cup in both hands and began to drink in small sips.
After drinking several sips, I finally felt a little better.
This time, there was no need for Zhou Ziyang to remind her. Mu Qianqian put on her mask obediently and sat down.
But Mu Qianqian didn't stay quiet. "Once we get to the base, maybe we can exchange the cloth for some rice."
When she said this, Mu Qianqian's voice was full of hope.
Although there is meat, people are free to eat meat.
But it won’t work without food.
Now that she has the freedom to eat meat and wear clothes, Mu Qianqian hopes to be able to exchange for more staple food.
Nan Ci smiled slightly, "Of course you can."
Even if it is not possible, she will find a suitable opportunity to operate secretly and take out the food in the space to eat.
The days on the road are not so pleasant.
After all, they are not on a road trip now.
Nan Ci had always wanted to take out the RV, but for various reasons, he was unable to realize this idea.
This time when I go to the base, I can take the opportunity to take out the RV.
Because they were wearing clothes made of special materials, they didn't feel cold even if they were blown by wind and snow all day long.
But not feeling cold is one thing, and being blown by the wind and snow is another.
No one would feel good if they were praised like this for a whole day.
Especially now that it is snowing and windy, the road is difficult to walk on and they have to figure out the direction. They stopped and walked along the way and didn't get very far in a few days.
Nan Ci felt that this was not a good way to go, so after setting up camp at night, he found an excuse and took the cubs out for a walk.
Nan Ci wanted to find a suitable place to take out the RV, but before he found a suitable place, he accidentally heard some figures.
The city of X at this time is no longer what it used to be.
The iconic buildings collapsed after the earthquake and were later buried by snow, no longer able to provide directions to anyone.
Now their function is just to block some wind and snow.
Nan Ci hid in these ruins to avoid being seen taking the RV out of the space.
But she never expected that before she took out the RV, she saw a group of people.
Watching those people getting closer, Nan Ci couldn't help but frown.
