Volcanic Season: 75 days
Yun Mianmian and others have been in the desert for four days, and today is the fifth day.
Yun Mianmian woke up before six o'clock.
It was early in the morning, and the sun had already illuminated the entire desert.
Calculating the time, Wei Yue and Luo Ze will be here soon, and Yun Mianmian plans to make a hearty breakfast.
Luo Ze picked up Luo Luo at midnight last night, and helped Yun Mianmian find her mother, and brought her mother Xiao Ruowei with her.
Yun Mianmian was very happy to think that she would see her mother soon.
In order to celebrate everyone's meeting, there are ten dishes for breakfast today.
She went to the nearby area to collect a lot of wild vegetables and found a lot of wild sand chives.
Sand scallions are wild vegetables unique to the desert. They can be eaten raw or cooked.
If eaten raw, they taste like leeks, and if fried, they taste like scallions, so they are very suitable for scrambled eggs.
They can also be cooked with lamb.
Other dishes include beef on teppanyaki, beef stew with potatoes, shredded potatoes, boiled fish, grilled fish, spicy snake meat, etc. Yun Mianmian also found some wild green vegetables, blanched them, dried them, and made dry mixed vegetables.
Xiaoyi caught two birds, and Yun Mianmian stewed them into soup, the same as chicken soup.
There was no dining table, so Zhao Yichen made one temporarily.
He cut down a few trees, cut a lot of wooden boards, and used the mortise and tenon technique to put them together to make a simple dining table.
Yun Mianmian tried it and found it to be quite sturdy, so she put all the food on it.
A table full of dishes was prepared before anyone arrived.
Yun Mianmian sent a message to Luo Ze, asking him where he was.
[Private chat/Luo Ze (18.23km): "It will take only ten minutes."]
Yun Mianmian: [Okay, the food is ready, you can eat it when you arrive.]
She took a photo and sent it to him.
Luo Ze didn't even dare to click it. He was already hungry and would definitely not be able to bear it after seeing it.
The fragrance drifted far away, but there was no way. The wind was strong here and there was no other smell, so the smell of the food was very abrupt. The shelter that Bai Jiaoyi chose last night was very close to Yun Mianmian, so she could smell it quickly.
Bai Jiaoyi and her teammates also got up early in the morning. Their breakfast was grilled fish with some wild fruits found nearby.
As they were eating the slightly burnt grilled fish, they smelled the aroma and suddenly felt that the food in their hands was not tasty.
"Jiaoyi, why is it so fragrant? Is it coming from Yunmianmian and the others?"
Bai Jiaoyi: "Probably, it smells like it's coming from there."
"What are they eating, beef? Or roasted lamb?"
"I'm drooling, I can't stand it."
Bai Jiaoyi looked at Mu Baiyin who was eating fish, "Baiyin, are you full? Should we go over and take a look?"
Mu Baiyin: "Go over? Not a good idea."
"What's wrong with that? We can exchange resources for food with them. Our food is too monotonous. I can exchange it with them for electrolyte water. I think they should need it."
Bai Jiaoyi took out a recipe for making electrolyte water on the boat and made a lot of electrolyte water.
Electrolyte water is much better than ordinary water for surviving in the desert.
Because it is similar in composition to human sweat, and can replenish a large amount of nutrients and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium needed by the human body, it helps to retain water in the body, and prevents and alleviates the adverse effects of large amounts of water loss.
Bai Jiaoyi earned a lot of supplies from electrolyte water. This time she brought dozens of barrels of electrolyte water, which was more than enough to drink.
Mu Baiyin thought about it, and that was true.
The effect of electrolyte water is still quite large. If we exchange it for some food, maybe Yun Mianmian will be willing.
Mu Baiyin nodded, "Okay."
Bai Jiaoyi happily pulled her to go to Yun Mianmian.
Several other teammates also wanted to go and see, but were stopped by Bai Jiaoyi, "Let's go alone, too many people will misunderstand."
"I really want to see what they eat, it smells so good."
"Yes, Jiaoyi, we haven't eaten anything delicious in the desert these days, and this smell is so tempting."
"It doesn't matter, I'll bring it back and let everyone eat together."
Bai Jiaoyi and Mu Baiyin had only taken two steps when they heard the roar of a car.
The two looked back and saw a car passing by in a cloud of dust, bypassing the two of them, and directly passing through the small road next to them and stopping at the side of the road.
Bai Jiaoyi: "Who is this? It seems like he is heading towards Yun Mianmian. He is not here to cause trouble."
Bai Jiaoyi did not see anyone in the car, as the windows were closed.
Mu Baiyin: "I don't know. Let's go over and take a look."
Mu Baiyin was worried that the person in the car was here to cause trouble for Yun Mianmian.
If he had a car, he must be very powerful.
Bai Jiaoyi: "Well, if Yun Mianmian is in danger, we can still help."
The two quickened their pace.
Because they were very close, they soon saw the shelter where Yun Mianmian and his friends were.
But the situation before them was different from what they imagined.
Instead of drawing swords against each other as they thought, they were all having fun.
Yun Mianmian was hugging a woman, and the others were standing beside them, all with smiles on their faces.
Mu Baiyin also saw Luo Ze.
He didn't see Luo Ze yesterday, which meant that the person in the car just now was Luo Ze.
In addition to Luo Ze, there were two women and one man, a young man and a woman, and the one hugging Yun Mianmian was a middle-aged woman.
Bai Jiaoyi whispered, "Bai Yin, they seem to know each other, do you know them?"
Mu Baiyin: "I only know the tallest boy."
Bai Jiaoyi quickly noticed Luo Ze, after all, he was tall, handsome, and had an upright posture. She asked curiously, "Who is that boy?"
Mu Baiyin: "He is also a friend of Yun Mianmian and me."
Bai Jiaoyi: "Then do you want to go over and say hello?"
Mu Baiyin hesitated, but nodded.
"Okay."
The two walked over there, and were soon spotted by the sharp-eyed Lin Qi.
Lin Qi: "Someone is here, the two women from yesterday."
Yun Mianmian and Xiao Ruowei, mother and daughter, had been separated for many days, and finally met each other. Of course, they were in tears and hugged each other, unwilling to let go.
Xiao Ruowei patted Yun Mianmian's shoulder, "You are so old but still like a child. Your friends are watching."
Yun Mianmian pursed her lips and let go of her hand, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you."
She turned around and looked at Mu Baiyin and Bai Jiaoyi not far away. She was not surprised to see them coming.
Yun Mianmian walked over, "What's the matter?"
Bai Jiaoyi: "I just saw a car coming, I was a little worried, so I came to take a look."
Mu Baiyin: "I didn't expect it to be Luo Ze, did you come from far away?"
Luo Ze: "Yes, I drove for several hours to get here."
Bai Jiaoyi just saw the dishes on the wooden table.
Although she had guessed that Yun Mianmian and the others were making delicious food, she didn't expect it to be so rich.
This table of dishes is enough for ten people.
Bai Jiaoyi asked in a friendly manner: "Yun Mianmian, I have some electrolyte water here, and I want to trade something with you, what do you think?"
Yun Mianmian thought to herself: Electrolyte water, this is a good thing.
"What do you want to exchange?"
Bai Jiaoyi: "I see you have made a lot of food here. My teammates and I haven't had a good meal for a long time. How about we use this to make a trade?"
Yun Mianmian: "Not today. These are breakfasts for me and my friends. We will eat them soon. If you want to trade food, wait until the evening. I will make more then."
Bai Jiaoyi was stunned. Yun Mianmian only had seven people. How could ten dishes not be enough? Sharing some with her would not affect anything.
Yun Mianmian saw her confusion and did not intend to explain anything.
She wanted the electrolyte water, but she did not want Bai Jiaoyi to think that she wanted to trade with her.
Bai Jiaoyi: "Okay then."
Nie Yangguang and Mu Baiyin also knew each other, because Yun Mianmian had created a group before and pulled them all into one group, and everyone had talked.
Seeing that Mu Baiyin was with others and not in a team with Yun Mianmian, he felt strange and kept looking back and forth between them.
Yun Mianmian said to Bai Jiaoyi, "If there is nothing else, my friends and I are going to have dinner together. Would it be convenient for you to leave?"
Bai Jiaoyi's expression suddenly became awkward. She bit her lips tightly and looked at other people with a weak and aggrieved look.
It must be said that Bai Jiaoyi looks very pure and delicate, so she looks quite lovable when she shows a hurt expression.
But no one refuted Yun Mianmian's words.
In this group, everyone is centered on Yun Mianmian.
Neither Lin Qi and Zhao Yichen, nor the siblings of the Luo family would refute Yun Mianmian.
Although Nie Yangguang was puzzled, he also believed in Yun Mianmian's decision.
Xiao Ruowei of course supported Yun Mianmian unconditionally.
So no matter what Bai Jiaoyi did, no one spoke up for her.
Bai Jiaoyi waited for a while, but what she imagined did not happen, and she felt a great loss in her heart.
She had encountered this kind of situation before, but there was always someone standing on her side.
Why is it different now! ?
Bai Jiaoyi didn't understand.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Jiaoyi had to turn around and leave.
She pulled Mu Baiyin to leave.
But Mu Baiyin did not move.
Before, she teamed up with Bai Jiaoyi as a stopgap measure. Later, she always wanted to join Yun Mianmian, but she never found the opportunity. Now that Luo Ze is here, her idea has become stronger.
She even thought that it would be great if Yun Mianmian asked her to stay.
But Yun Mianmian didn't say anything.
Mu Baiyin knew that if he didn't speak up now, he might not have the chance in the future.
"Jiaoyi, I want to stay here. After all, you and I are not from the same district. I still want to be with my friends."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Mianmian, "Mianmian, can I join you?"
Bai Jiaoyi's face changed, and she tried hard not to show an angry look.
Yun Mianmian didn't seem to expect that she would make up her mind at this time.
She didn't even say it when they met yesterday.
Yun Mianmian was not sure of the specific reason for a while.
In fact, their team was already strong enough, and adding Mu Baiyin would not be any better. It could even be said that it was almost the same with or without her, and there would be one more mouth to feed and one more person to share supplies.
Wei Yue would be here soon.
In this team, except for Xiao Ruowei, everyone else was on the battle power rankings.
With Yun Mianmian's resources and abilities, no one would say anything if Xiao Ruowei was brought along. So if Mu Baiyin wanted to join, he had to show some strength.
Yun Mianmian knew that after Mu Baiyin said these words in front of Bai Jiaoyi, he could no longer go back.
Seeing Bai Jiaoyi's patient expression, Yun Mianmian said, "How about this, you stay first. Now my team is not just led by me. Everyone has the right to vote to decide whether to let you stay. You stay here for dinner first."
It's no problem to add one person to have a meal.
Mu Baiyin knew that Yun Mianmian said this because there was hope, "Okay."
In fact, she also had a trick up her sleeve. She brought some things in her backpack, but she never took them out and didn't let Bai Jiaoyi know.
After all this, Bai Jiaoyi finally couldn't hold it anymore. She looked at Mu Baiyin with disappointment in her eyes. The unpleasant words came to her lips, but she held them back and didn't say them out.
Always leave a way out for everything so that you can meet again in the future. There will definitely be places of use in the future. Yun Mianmian and her group are not easy to offend.
Bai Jiaoyi: "Okay, then you stay, Yun Mianmian, I'll come back to exchange things with you in the evening, I'll leave first."
Bai Jiaoyi had just left.
Wei Yue's car arrived.
Wei Yue's car was very big, and it looked cooler than others. He drove for eleven hours straight, used up the last bit of gas, and finally arrived at the destination.
He was the only one in his car. Along the way, he met many people who wanted to stop his car, some of whom he bypassed, and some who were not afraid of death wanted to steal the car, but were directly eliminated by him.
After being eliminated, he got all the supplies in the other party's backpack, and the supplies turned into a box, which is now placed in the back seat of his car.
