Chapter 187 Rope Grass
Zhang Yiwen walked around the giant radish and said to the delighted Song Yufang, "If radishes can mutate, do you think we might mutate too one day?"
Song Yufang had thought about this problem before, but no one around her had ever experienced this situation, so she believed that hygienic human life could definitely prevent this situation from happening.
Song Yufang said, "What nonsense! Go and help your father get firewood."
Zhang Yiwen curled his lips and said, "It's not lunch time yet."
"It has to be done before lunch. This is the firewood we have saved for ourselves. No one else can use it."
"Do you still want to eat instant noodles? If you still want to eat, go and help."
Zhang Yiwen had no choice but to go. When he got to Zhang Aihua, he emphasized, "I have to eat instant noodles today. I must eat instant noodles!"
Zhang Aihua chuckled, "Okay, let you eat it. We'll add some fish, radish, and seaweed to the instant noodles. It will be nutritious and rich."
Zhang Yiwen was drooling just thinking about it.
He hasn't eaten spicy food for a long time.
It would be nice to have pepper seeds that can survive the ice and snow.
Zhang Yiwen glanced at the snow behind them and thought that if he looked carefully, he might find something else.
If only he could do like Jiang Siqinshen and the others and raise a monkey and make it listen to him.
Or maybe you could catch a moose and eat its meat.
At worst, finding a pheasant or rabbit will do.
The more Zhang Yiwen thought about it, the bolder he became. He felt disgusted with the fish soup and almost vomited it, but in order to have enough energy, he still drank two large bowls.
He wanted to take risks, but he wasn't the kind of fool who would face danger alone.
So, I turned my attention to Brother Qiu.
Brother Qiu originally planned to look for houses buried in the snow around him to see if he could dig out some useful belongings.
Zhang Yiwen couldn't persuade him enough, so he took him along.
Before setting off, Brother Qiu also checked whether there were any bullets in the gun.
Bullets are precious, and they are reluctant to use them easily.
So, they used the materials to make some crossbows and arrows.
Zhang Yiwen also has one, and it looks quite handsome in his hand.
In addition, he also had a small and exquisite pistol, which Zhang Aihua specially gave him for self-defense.
There are ten bullets in total.
He hasn't used any of them yet.
The two walked north for a while, away from the hot springs, and the temperature dropped instantly.
Fortunately, they were wearing condor-style down jackets, so they were not afraid of the cold and even managed to sweat a little.
Zhang Yiwen also complained, "If the Vulture down jacket had existed before the end of the world, it would definitely be the best down jacket in the world."
Brother Qiu smiled and said, "Yes, it must be this one. I will definitely start a down jacket company with you."
As we talked, the snow under our feet gradually reached as deep as our thighs.
Zhang Yiwen has difficulty walking.
Brother Qiu said, "Let's go back. We can't walk any more. If we go any further, they'll bury both of us."
Zhang Yiwen wore goggles, and his field of vision was farther than Qiu Geguang's.
He suddenly saw a patch of green in the snow.
It was very, very small, but it had a pointed tip and a little snowflake on it.
Zhang Yiwen was extremely excited, "I made a sound of grass, there is grass!"
In the extremely cold world, green grass is a precious thing.
For example, the chickens and ducks that Jiang Si and his family gave them can not only eat small fish, but also fresh grass.
They planted them, and looking at the green scenery can also relieve the damage to the eyes caused by the snow.
Zhang Yiwen yelled, and Brother Qiu frowned, "No way, maybe you saw it wrongly? It could just be a piece of green plastic."
Zhang Yiwen took a closer look and said with unwavering determination, "I'm not mistaken. It's just a blade of grass! We need to dig it up, study it carefully, and grow a vast green pasture! Let green replace white!"
Zhang Yiwen instantly planned the future of this little grass.
Brother Qiu said helplessly: "How far do we have to go? Show me."
Zhang Yiwen stretched out his finger and pointed out that the distance was about ten meters.
After walking ten meters, he didn't know whether he would step into a snow pit, so Brother Qiu could only use a heavy wooden stick to clear the way little by little.
After walking two or three meters forward, two or three furry creatures as big as palms suddenly jumped out of the snow.
It has a white or light gray appearance, a short, thick furry tail, and looks like a squirrel without ears.
They jumped out of the snow in a flash and fell into the snow that was almost one meter deep in a flash.
The only way to catch them is to fly over in an instant.
Zhang Yiwen and Brother Qiu were stunned the moment they jumped out.
There are actually hairy mice that can survive in the snow.
Just because they can survive, does that mean there must be food for them to eat here?
Zhang Yiwen reacted and said excitedly, "I told you there was grass up ahead, but you didn't believe me. These rats must be living on that grass. Let's catch some rats and bring some grass back. Then, tell the people next door about this and we can exchange it for some good stuff."
When Brother Qiu saw the mouse, he must have believed Zhang Yiwen's words and said, "Okay!"
They quickened their pace and walked forward. Suddenly, with a stick, they saw one thin green rope after another appear in their sight.
Zhang Yiwen reached out and grabbed some, then cheered loudly, "It's grass! It's grass! It's seaweed-like grass growing in the snow! This is amazing! This species has mutated and can grow directly in the snow. If I hadn't spotted a little green tip, who would have known it would grow in the snow?"
Brother Qiu was also very excited. He grabbed the rope-like grass and looked at it in his hand. With a little force, the sharp teeth on the grass cut a hole in the leather gloves he was wearing.
This grass is quite dangerous.
If you fall into the snow, you may become fertilizer for the grass if you are not careful.
Because you can't see clearly in the snow, the more you struggle to get out, the more likely you are to get tangled in this grass.
Brother Qiu cautiously stopped the enthusiastic Zhang Yiwen and said, "Don't go. Let's go back and tell everyone first, and then come together."
Zhang Yiwen was stunned. "We're already here."
Brother Qiu frowned, "It's too dangerous. Safety is the most important thing. The more animals and plants that can survive in extreme cold, the more dangerous they are. Maybe these rats are poisonous."
The smile on Zhang Yiwen's face froze, and he quickly said, "Then go back first."
"Um."
Before leaving, Brother Qiu still wrapped a piece of rope grass around a stick and took it back for everyone to study.
Song Yufang didn't know where Zhang Yiwen had gone. Just when she was worried, Zhang Yiwen and Brother Qiu came back panting.
"Dad, Mom, come and see!"
