Chapter 3737. Empty basket, empty heart

It rained heavily for three days.

There were only a few short stops during the period, each lasting no more than an hour, and the rest of the time the only difference was the amount of rain.

The morning report still starts at eight o'clock. Today's weather forecast is cloudy with light rain. Huai Yu looked at the sky and hesitated whether to go into the mountains.

The water in the pond not far away was muddy and turbid, and it would take several days to clear up. In the past, the pond of three to five mu only had half of the water, but now it is completely level with the edge of the pond.

The water pollution level is so high that it will be difficult to use water for a long time to come.

She puffed her cheeks in frustration.

But it is a precious spring rain anyway. For example, today, when the weather cleared up, we could see a layer of new green leaves sprouting on the distant mountains. The grass on all sides seemed to be covered with a layer of fluffy new green, and the grass was particularly fresh.

Huaiyu squatted down and touched a handful. It was very tender. I wonder if it will sprout in the future and whether it can be eaten...

She carried back some dry firewood from the shed. Even in broad daylight, the fire could not be stopped.

Because of the continuous rain, even though she chose a high place to build the house and laid a layer of blue bricks underneath, the water in the house was about to overflow as soon as it rained.

If I don't make a fire to warm myself, I'm afraid I'll really be living in water.

But after the fire was lit, the room was filled with moist and warm vapor... If the rain didn't stop, Huaiyu suspected that he would break out in a rash.

She sighed and thought how nice it would be to have a proper house.

However, building a house requires money, and she now only has the 200 points given by Lin Xuefeng and some of her previous savings. The most urgent thing is to save more money so that she can feel safe and not be at a loss when encountering problems.

So he loaded up the firewood, took another look at the bean sprouts that were growing slowly due to the low temperature, turned around, put on his raincoat and rain boots, put on his backpack, pushed his bicycle and went out.

Although everyone said that you can’t eat wild vegetables and mushrooms after a heavy rain, Sanqing Mountain is so big that she has to try it!

The 28-inch bicycle was a little difficult to ride on the muddy ground, but it was still more convenient than walking. Huaiyu arrived at the Rose Corridor [8] area in less than ten minutes.

At this moment, the car was parked next to the rose. She stretched out her hand, then hesitated and pulled it back.

"Well... the rain has stopped. Are you in a good mood? If you are, can you let me pass by? Secretly."

There was no movement in the Rose Corridor, it just shook its branches and leaves for a moment, and water droplets and wet petals fell all over the ground.

Huaiyu simply gathered a handful of thorny branches and said, "Please! I'm starving to death!"

After a while, the branches in front of him slid rustlingly, and with the sound of water droplets falling to the ground, a passage was finally formed.

Huaiyu laughed happily: "You have such a beautiful flower!"

She walked through the corridor skillfully with the basket on her back, and was stunned by the scene before her.

Sanqing Mountain is alive!

No, it's not that she's alive, it's just... when she came before, although there were a few hints of spring, there were mostly dead branches and yellow leaves, and the trees were rustling.

Now, after several consecutive heavy rains, large mushrooms and grass leaves have sprouted from the layers of dead leaves on the winding hillside below her feet. Some of them have even bloomed with small flowers in purple, blue, pink, and yellow...

The rain stayed on the blue-purple petals, making the flowers look transparent.

So beautiful!

She climbed up the path along the rocks. She passed by two scattered clumps of mushrooms, but because the temperature was too low, they had not yet grown to a large size, so Huaiyu had to give up for the time being.

The scattered wild vegetables also slowly emerged, and the rain water slowly gathered from the mountains to form streams, and the wild grass on both sides grew particularly lush. Huaiyu saw a clump of chives after walking a few steps.

The broad, tender green leaves seemed to have grown rapidly in the past few days. When she reached out to pull it out, she could feel that the whole onion seemed very "dirty".

After a pause, she pulled out two, shook off the dirt from the roots, and put them in the basket.

If you go further, you can see more lush giant sea cucumbers, but they are not growing as fast and are still very young.

Huaiyu also reached out and plucked two handfuls. The smell was strong, but... still very "dirty".

She stood in this treasure-like mountain and sighed sadly. It was such a terrible feeling to be in a mountain of treasures but unable to use them at all!

After much thought, I still went to see the ferns and shepherd's purse that had grown luxuriantly before the rain. There was a thriving vitality there. The bare ferns that had been picked before had sprouted again like bamboo shoots after the rain. The shepherd's purse at the bottom of the slope was also green. It was so pleasing to the eye! However, Huaiyu regretted it so much that he almost cried.

Because these are not edible! They are all very polluted, even worse than the green belts I saw in the city before!

They are not as good as the weeds in front of your door!

There wasn't much mud on the soft branches and leaves when her boots stepped on them, but her heart seemed to be covered in mud and was heavy.

At this moment, her small body was wearing an oversized raincoat and equally large rain boots, and she was carrying an empty and large basket on her back. Inside, there was only a handful of young ginseng leaves and two chives...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Even the bottom of the basket was not covered.

Halfway through the journey, Huaiyu remembered something and turned back.

The pollution level of this wild vegetable is so high that she dare not purify it easily and sell it at this juncture.

But...if you can't sell it, can't you just eat it yourself? Even if there's no seasoning, it's better than the nutrient solution, right?

She gritted her teeth, put the basket down, and bent down again to pick wild vegetables - more bracken, she would come back and see if she could pickle it, but shepherd's purse was not necessary, it was difficult to preserve, and now there was no egg to go with it, and if she only added salt it would taste like grass...

Forget it.

Because salt was too expensive, Huai Yu thought about it and didn't dare to pick too many ferns. All together, it was only one-third of the basket.

After thinking it over, I still didn't want to give up, so I turned again when going down the mountain and went to pick some chives and ginseng again.

This time going into the mountains was really depressing.

Huaiyu rode his bicycle. Although he was mentally prepared, it was too difficult to face the reality. If this continued, would the only source of income for a long time be on bean sprouts? It was not difficult to grow bean sprouts. This morning, I saw that the beans had grown more than two centimeters of tender sprouts. But I didn't know whether beans were easy to buy now, and how much they would cost...

We also have our own yam beans and peanuts, but the water and soil are polluted. When can we plant them?

She grunted as she pedaled the 28-meter-long bicycle, her basket was empty and her heart was empty too.

When he returned to the tree house, the sky had turned gloomy again. Huaiyu subconsciously looked at the rose corridor that looked like an oil painting in the dim sky, and couldn't help muttering:

“You are so fierce… Lin Xuefeng doesn’t even dare to hit anyone in front of you, so how did he go to the wasteland?”
