Shen Zhiyi rummaged through her backpack and felt that none of her belongings were presentable.
Chen Peng thought for a moment and took out his big bag of candy.
"Use this." Chen Peng tossed a candy over, and the purple mouse caught it.
"This is candy, it's sweet."
The purple mouse glanced warily at Shen Zhiyi and the others, then stuffed the candy into its mouth.
Then, the purple mouse's eyes lit up.
tasty!
It's sweet!
It's even sweeter than their purple rice popsicles!
like!
The purple mouse's attitude immediately changed.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" Change! Change! The mouse wants lots of candy!
The dried fish told Shen Zhiyi what the purple mouse meant.
“They’re willing to trade, and they especially love candy.” Shen Zhiyi pointed to the candy in Chen Peng’s hand, quite shocked that Chen Peng had so much candy.
Chen Peng thought for a moment, then took out a small wooden box and poured half of it into it.
"Is this enough?"
The small wooden box contains enough candy to feed these mice for a while.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" Good! The mouse is very satisfied! The mouse's relative owns a mine, do you need the mouse to take you there?
Seeing how generous the humans were, the purple mouse immediately and enthusiastically helped its relatives to get better benefits.
He then directed his own mice to carry the small wooden box back.
Little Dried Fish: "Aww!" It has relatives who are rich!
"What kind of mine!" Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up. A mine? She liked it.
"Squeak!" Black lumps, I don't know what they are, but you humans would probably like them.
Black?
"Alright, let's go. Is it far from here?" Shen Zhiyi looked at the purple mouse with a smile.
The purple mouse turned around and squeaked twice at the other mice.
The other mice retreated and returned to the purple rice flower meadow.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" Let's go! Follow the mouse! We'll get there soon after we cross this orange grove!
The mouse had already planned it all out: once it helped its relative mouse close this deal, it could then snatch some candy from the relative mouse's paws!
The mouse's plan was perfect!
The purple mouse led the way, with Shen Zhiyi and the other two following behind.
Little Fish followed behind Shen Zhiyi, looking around happily.
Come to think of it, Little Fish has been stuck on the nebula with Shen Zhiyi all this time, unable to go anywhere, so it must be incredibly boring, right?
After passing through the orange grove, we arrived at a small pine forest.
"Do you want to pluck some of these pine trees?" Chen Peng nudged Shen Zhiyi's arm.
Shen Zhiyi remained silent. "I'm not that heartless, wanting everything."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sangsang ran over.
“Star, here’s a pine cone!” Sangsang picked up a plump pine cone and handed it to Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi took a look and was surprised to see that the pine cone was indeed large. "Do you think this pine cone contains pine nuts?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Yes! The pine cones that fall here are often collected by the rat tribe to eat; they smell delicious!
Shen Zhiyi thought for a moment, "How about this, you ask your people to help us collect pine cones, and then peel the pine nuts out of the cones. For every wooden box of pine nuts, we'll give you two pounds of candy, how about that?"
The purple mouse stood there for a moment and thought, "The CPU is almost overheating. How much are these two pounds of candy?"
"Squeak?" Two pounds of candy? Is that a lot?
Chen Peng said, "It's probably twice as much as the candy I just gave you."
"squeak!"
The purple mouse was stunned. What a wonderful thing!
By picking up pine cones and peeling pine nuts, you can actually get so many candies!
"Squeak squeak squeak!" Wait for the mouse! The mouse is going back to call the other mice! It will help you collect them in a bit!
The purple mouse couldn't wait any longer, and squeaked twice at Shen Zhiyi and the others as it ran back.
However, the purple mouse did not expect that their wooden box was much larger than the one Chen Peng had given it.
Shen Zhiyi picked up a few more pine cones, peeled off the pine nuts inside, and tasted them.
"It smells pretty good, it feels like it doesn't even need to be cooked, you can just eat it raw."
"Generally speaking, it's better to roast pine nuts, but things in the survival world are a different story, after all, this isn't Earth."
Chen Peng brought over a wooden box, put it aside, and then picked up a few pine cones to peel.
Before long, the purple mouse arrived with its kin.
Without Shen Zhiyi saying anything more, they spontaneously went to pick up pine cones and peel them.
But when they saw Chen Peng's box containing the rats, the rats were stunned.
This box is so big!
How many pine nuts would it take to fill this container!
The purple mouse stared blankly at Chen Peng, as if asking, "Is this for real?"
Chen Peng nodded at it, indicating that he was serious.
It couldn't be more real.
The purple mouse fell silent.
"Squeak, squeak." Let's go, let's keep going, the place where the rat family's relatives live is just ahead.
The purple mouse felt that it had lost its former glory.
After passing through the pine forest, the road ends after walking a little further.
Shen Zhiyi took two steps forward and exclaimed, "Wow, this cliff is quite high!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." Follow the mouse; it knows where to go down.
The purple mouse ran to the left, and seeing that Shen Zhiyi and the others hadn't caught up yet, it turned back and urged them, "Squeak squeak squeak!"
Catch up!
Shen Zhiyi and the other two followed the purple mouse.
The purple mouse led them to the edge of a cliff, where there was a narrow slope leading down.
It would be difficult for even one person to go up there.
"Are you leading us to do business, or are you leading us to our deaths?" Sangsang couldn't hold back any longer after seeing the slope.
Is this a path that a person can walk on?
"Squeak?" The purple mouse turned around and looked at Sangsang with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant.
Indeed, a slope of this width posed no problem at all for a small purple mouse, so it didn't realize the meaning behind Sang Sang's words.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the slope and suddenly felt dizzy. Could someone die if they weren't careful?
"How about this, you go down and call your relative, the rat, up, and we won't go down. We can't get down this slope anyway."
The purple mouse looked at Shen Zhiyi, then at the slope, and finally understood why Sangsang had said that earlier.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" Okay, then you wait here for the mouse, and the mouse will go down and call for help.
The purple mouse darted down in a flash, moving incredibly fast.
The sight of the purple mouse sent shivers down their spines, fearing that it might fall if they weren't careful.
They waited up there for a while, and then the purple mouse came up with several gray mice.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" The mouse has already made arrangements with its relative mouse, and the relative mouse has agreed, but you have to give it candy first!
A gray rat placed a black stone it was holding in its paws in front of Shen Zhiyi. Shen Zhiyi glanced at it and, sure enough, it was a lump of coal.
Shen Zhiyi remembered that the crafting table could help process coal.
With coal, we don't have to fear winter.
