Chapter 91 Why don’t you thank Nan Ci quickly?
The three old Taoist priests had never grown vegetables, but none of them were lazy.
Nan Ci told them what to do, and they did it very well.
Because it was their first time planting, the three of them had no experience and were afraid that if they planted too many flowers, they would not grow and would thus be wasting seeds, so they ended up only planting in four pots, one large and three small.
After carefully watering the plants, Mu Qianqian nodded with satisfaction, "If these can grow well, we will have an endless supply of vegetables to eat in the future."
Nan Ci glanced at the four flower pots and expressed doubt about Mu Qianqian's words.
Let’s not talk about whether all these seeds can germinate. Even if they can all germinate, there are actually not many of them. It would be good enough if they can be eaten for a few meals. How can they be available indefinitely?
But Nan Ci changed his mind and thought that if these could really grow well, he would have more experience when planting next time, and it would not be wrong to have an endless supply of vegetables to eat.
Nan Ci was just thinking about it when he saw Mu Qianqian looking at him.
"Nan Ci, have you planted yet? Do you want us to help you plant?"
Nan Ci smiled and nodded, "I have already planted it."
"Is that so?" Mu Qianqian stretched out the last syllable of her words, but soon changed the subject, "Then let's have a competition! Let's see whose vegetables can grow first."
Generally, only children would have such an idea, and they want to compare and compete in everything.
Nan Ci originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Mu Qianqian’s expectant face, he finally nodded.
Seeing that he nodded, Mu Qianqian's eyebrows were curved with joy, and Nan Ci felt helpless and amused.
But in some ways, Mu Qianqian's personality is quite good.
No matter what the general environment is like, you can always find something happy to make your life not too desperate.
After staying here for more than an hour, Nan Ci finally took the four cats back to his home.
In the next two days, Mu Qianqian and the other two went out earlier and came back later, bringing back a lot of fuel every day. The two-bedroom, one-living-room house was filled with stuff, leaving even the space for activities pitifully small.
But the three of them didn't dislike it at all, and they all looked very satisfied.
Given the current weather, the more fuel you prepare, the better.
Even though the house was full of space, the three of them couldn't stay and still went out every day.
However, all the fuel and supplies brought back were left with Nan Ci.
There is still some space available on Nan Ci's side.
The three of them didn't want to take advantage of Nan Ci and leave the things here for nothing, so they gave one fifth of them to Nan Ci as storage fee.
Nan Ci didn't bother to be polite with them and agreed directly.
Many times, calculating things clearly will not affect the relationship between each other. It is more likely to affect the relationship between each other if things are pushed back and forth all the time.
Two more days passed like this, and the things the three brought back were visibly less.
Nan Ci knew that it must be because the official people and those living in the official base were collecting supplies in large quantities.
This is the prosperous area of City X, with a dense population and tall buildings. Even in the end of the world, there are still many survivors.
In addition, many bases have been built here, and the bases have assigned tasks to the survivors living in the bases, so there will be a lot of people collecting supplies.
For a team like the old Taoist priest and his two companions, they were lucky not to be robbed, and being able to get supplies back was even luckier.
If they want to get more supplies, they can only choose to go somewhere farther away.
The three old Taoist priests indeed planned this.
"We plan to check out the suburbs tomorrow. Maybe there will be fewer people there, and we'll be able to find more supplies."
Although Mu Qianqian said this, her face was full of worry, and it was obvious that she was not optimistic about tomorrow's trip.
Nan Ci also understood what Mu Qianqian was worried about. "There may not be that many people in the suburbs, but the houses in the suburbs are generally not high, and there are probably fewer houses exposed above the water. The harvest may not necessarily be greater than in the city."
Mu Qianqian nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's what I thought. By the way, Nan Ci, since you're not going out anyway, why don't you lend us your diving equipment!"
After Mu Qianqian finished speaking, she looked at Nan Ci eagerly.
If it was raining heavily outside now, Nan Ci would definitely not hesitate at all and would agree directly.
But now it is snowing heavily outside, and the ice layer of the accumulated water has frozen to several meters thick.
Not to mention that Mu Qianqian and the others had no way to break the ice. Even if they could break it, how cold would the water underneath be?
The surface of the water was completely frozen, but the water flow underneath was very fast. If someone dared to jump in, they would probably not even have a chance to get out.
Thinking of that scene, Nan Ci no longer hesitated and refused with a cold face, "No."
"You won't lend it!"
Mu Qianqian's face was full of disappointment, but she was not unhappy, nor did she insist.
Zhou Ziyang looked at Mu Qianqian helplessly, "Nan Ci is unwilling to lend it to you, why don't you thank her quickly."
Mu Qianqian looked at Zhou Ziyang strangely, "Why should I thank you?"
Zhou Ziyang became more and more helpless. "You still think that the temperature of the water is the same as it was during the previous rainstorm? If Nan Ci really lent you the diving equipment and you really wore it and went into the water, would you still have a chance to come out? Nan Ci saved your life, shouldn't you thank him?"
"Ah?" Mu Qianqian was stunned. It was obvious that she had not thought of this at all.
Now that she understood, Mu Qianqian felt both grateful and ashamed, "Thank you, Nan Ci! I was stupid, too. I was only thinking about getting more fuel and forgot what the current situation was."
Nan Ci smiled and said, "In fact, even if I am willing to lend it to you, you won't be able to break the ice."
Such a thick layer of ice would be impossible to break without large equipment and explosives.
In his previous life, Nan Ci had seen many people fighting against the ice.
A group of people, dozens or even hundreds of them, worked together to dig at one place. After working for several days, they were unable to dig very deep, wasting their time and energy.
Mu Qianqian recognized the reality and lay powerlessly on the sofa, staring at the window with empty eyes. "If we keep going like this, we will run out of fuel. What should we do?"
Even Nan Ci, who was reborn, would not be able to answer this question.
After all, Nan Ci only lived for half a year in her previous life. She had no idea what the world was like after that or how people survived.
Although he didn't know, Nan Ci was not afraid, nor was he worried.
After rebirth, every extra day you live is earned, so why think so much?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Zhou Ziyang raise his hand and rub the top of Mu Qianqian's head, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be with you."
