Chapter 238
No one ate the sea fish that Xiaochun caught. They found a relatively smooth place, removed the internal organs, and placed it on the stone surface. Shen Baoying reached out and baked it into dried fish.
This way it can be saved.
These few fish are not enough for everyone to have a meal.
So, while deciding where to stay tonight, everyone started catching mantis shrimp.
At present, this is the only thing that is easy to catch and has no danger factor.
After catching several large bags, everyone decided to build a house with rocks near the sea.
Without cement, they could only use the soil from the ground and add water to make clay.
As for the rocks, Qin Shen and his team needed their strength to chisel them off the wall and cut them into usable sizes.
We don’t have any tools and can only rely on our supernatural powers.
Fortunately, everyone's special abilities are quite reliable. If we divide the work and cooperate with each other, it shouldn't be difficult to build a cabin suitable for everyone to live in.
But before building a house, you have to choose a suitable location.
Jiang Si and everyone walked along the beach. In order to prevent the tide from flooding the house, they deliberately chose a location on a hillside far away from the beach.
This location, apart from having more sand and being higher, also allows you to see the conditions on the sea, so everyone is quite satisfied.
When Qin Shen went to chisel the rock wall, Daimao and the others became aircraft to transport the stones.
They got enough stones to lay the foundation, and Kilton and his sister worked hard to bring down water to mix the mud. Jiang Linhai led everyone to work, and finally the foundation was almost laid, and they were ready to build up the foundation.
It was getting dark again, and everyone was speeding up, but Qin Shen suddenly came over on Xiaochun and said, "Don't repair it anymore!"
Everyone subconsciously asked: "Why?"
They have already laid the foundation and plan to build one house a day. In a few days, everyone will have their own home.
When the time comes, we can build a pond and irrigate the land, and then we can farm and resume our normal life.
Qin Shen pointed at the suddenly rising tide and said, "This location might be flooded!"
Everyone frowned, feeling that this location was high enough and should not be flooded.
But looking at the speed at which the tide is rising, there is some uncertainty.
Since it was dark anyway, everyone stopped to see what was going on.
However, just as Qin Shen said, the sea level rose in a straight line, and the raging waves destroyed the foundation they had laid with great effort like a flood that flooded Jinshan Temple.
Everyone was very sad, and the only thing to be thankful for was that it was flooded before it was completely repaired.
But they will have to sleep outdoors again tonight.
Everyone sighed deeply, "How difficult!"
Jiang Si nodded, "It's really difficult!"
At least everyone has superpowers, but she doesn't, so it feels more difficult and she is even more sad about the supplies in her space.
However, there is some good news.
The tides rose sharply and the humidity in the air increased. Kilton was able to condense a lot of water, and Mina was able to control the weather and make it rain.
Everyone retreated about 500 meters from the place where the foundation was destroyed, dug a hole, and slept there for the time being.
There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and it is easy to sweat when the temperature changes from cold to hot. When everyone huddles together, they all feel like they have a body odor.
Unfortunately, there are not enough luxurious conditions to provide them with a bath.
Jiang Si hugged Qin Shen, sniffed his own scent, and felt a little disgusted.
Ever since she had the space, she could take a bath in it at any time. This kind of situation was something she had experienced in her previous life.
She sniffed Qin Shen's hairy chin again, "Why are you so clean?"
Qin Shen looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, but Jiang Si understood what Qin Shen said that he couldn't express: "Do you want me to lick it for you?"
Fortunately, it was dark enough to hide the discomfort on her face.
Jiang Si hugged Qin Shen and rubbed him hard, "Good night~"
Rather than worrying about whether she can take a clean bath, the happiest thing is that everyone is safe and sound by her side.
Qin Shen coiled his arms around her, and the drowsy Xiao Hei came closer, and Da Hei also slid over. Unknowingly, they all huddled together because of the cold.
Jiang Si opened his eyes drowsily and took a look, thinking: Once I have a house, I have to find a way to get some quilts and clothes. I can't just keep wearing what I'm wearing.
Everyone slept until dawn, ate kelp soup and mantis shrimp to replenish their energy, and then started the great project of repairing the house.
While everyone was busy repairing the house, Jiang Size and Shen Baoying were experimenting with branches or soil in the area, hoping to see if they were lucky enough to find edible plants.
Shen Baoying and Jiang Si had tried it many times, and they were basically some inedible weeds.
Even the trees that could revive and grow again were only the willow trees that attracted insects yesterday.
Shen Baoying was a little overdrawn, and panted, "Willow trees are actually also useful. They can be used to weave baskets and peel their bark to make paper. They are also quite useful plants."
Jiang Si nodded, "It is indeed the most useful plant now."
But everyone hopes to have a kind of edible food crop.
If we can't grow crops and can only eat fish, it's not a bad idea, but it just feels a little less flavorful.
Shen Baoying recovered some energy and said to Jiang Si: "Let's go a little further inside. Maybe this place used to be farmland or something."
"good."
They walked a few hundred meters in, and Shen Baoying used the growth technique on the ground beneath her feet. After a while, she saw a bunch of small green plants growing out.
It is long, straight, and shaped a bit like sugarcane.
Jiang Si suddenly said in surprise: "Mom! This is Japanese knotweed!"
Japanese knotweed is a plant with extremely strong vitality, which appeared on the earth as early as 6.5 billion years ago.
In the Sun Country, this thing has such vigorous growth that there are many houses that have been pierced by Japanese knotweed.
But in China, Japanese knotweed is not that scary.
On the contrary, it is extremely popular among people. Some people call it sour soup stick, while others call it wild sugarcane.
It is extremely rich in water. There is no water on the mountain, so picking it can quench your thirst.
Moreover, the tender core can be used for stir-frying, which is very delicious.
Even the old stems can be peeled off, blanched and pickled for consumption.
Even its rhizome is a Chinese herbal medicine that can treat jaundice, rheumatic paralysis, burns from water or fire, bruises, lung heat and cough, and other diseases.
So, although it is a wild vegetable, it is a wild vegetable that is full of treasures.
Shen Baoying and Jiang Si's eyes met, and both showed surprise.
Shen Baoying immediately accelerated the growth of the Japanese knotweed, allowing it to grow to a stage where it could be eaten.
Jiang Si picked it up quickly and took a bite. The juice was so sour that it made his teeth fall out, but it also made him feel so surprised that he wanted to cry for some unknown reason.
Now that we have discovered Japanese knotweed, are we far from discovering other useful plants?
Jiang Si took a bite and handed it to Shen Baoying.
Shen Baoying has a higher tolerance for sourness than Jiang Si, and she often ate Japanese knotweed as a snack when she was a child. After taking a bite, she squinted her eyes because of the sourness and looked quite happy.
Chen Baoying sucked the juice from the Japanese knotweed, and the sound sounded super pleasurable.
Jiang Si said, "Let's dig this one up and plant it!"
Shen Baoying nodded: "Yeah, let's take a look around to see if there are any. Generally, knotweed grows in patches."
Shen Baoying tried to activate the growth technique nearby, and in addition to the Japanese knotweed, they made a new discovery this time.
A yellow mushroom quickly grew to the size of a basketball, red and yellow, like a porcini.
Shen Baoying reached out to touch it, but Jiang Si said cautiously, “Don’t touch it, be careful it’s poisonous!”
Shen Baoying immediately retracted her hand. They gathered around the oversized boletus and looked at it again and again. Jiang Si said, "It seems to be a green mushroom."
Shen Baoying also felt that it was similar, except that it was unusually larger in size, there was basically no difference.
Just see if it changes color when you break it open.
Jiang Si wrapped his hands with clothes and broke open the porcini mushroom. Soon, a magical green color appeared inside the porcini mushroom.
It is indeed a case of seeing green hands.
The green osmanthus fragrans is a very popular wild mushroom in Yuncheng, but it is poisonous. Some people have weak bodies and will become seriously ill after eating it.
However, it tastes really good, tender, smooth and delicious. Even though it is poisonous, many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for it every year.
This thing experienced the end of the world and was resurrected by Shen Baoying. I don’t know whether the toxicity has increased or decreased.
Jiang wanted to eat it, but was afraid of being poisoned. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's take it back first and see if there are any worms that can eat it. If the worms are fine, we can definitely eat it too."
Shen Baoying loves to eat wild mushrooms, and she has already planned in her mind how to cook five-star dishes using the limited ingredients.
They performed the growth technique nearby, and after a short while, Shen Baoying and Jiang Si returned with a bundle of Japanese knotweed and seven or eight huge green weeds.
When everyone saw what they had in their hands, they all gathered around happily.
Niuniu and Bobby didn't recognize the tiger stick, "What is this?"
“Is it an edible vegetable?”
Shen Baoying nodded, "Yes, it is a vegetable that can be eaten, and it is also a snack that can be eaten. We should grow them."
After saying that, she broke off a piece of Japanese knotweed and handed it to Niu Niu and Bobby, and then gave some Japanese knotweed to everyone, asking them to share and try it, and the rest would be kept for sowing.
Everyone tore off the skin, looked at the crispy and tender Japanese knotweed, took a bite with great anticipation, and immediately shivered at the sourness.
Especially Kilton, who had never eaten it before, almost spit out his teeth.
He sighed, "It's so sour."
Shen Baoying smiled and said, “You can use it to make sour fish soup.”
Kilton immediately handed the knotweed to the others, "Then I'm looking forward to the sour fish soup."
Jiang Linhai was very accustomed to the taste of Japanese knotweed. As he bit it, he stared at the scutellaria baicalensis on the ground and asked, "This mushroom is so big, is it a scutellaria baicalensis?"
He was a little unsure.
The largest one I had ever seen in the market was about as thick as a baby's arm.
This guy is so handsome. Not only is the umbrella cap as big as a football, but the handle is also as thick as his calf.
If it is not poisonous, you can eat it as food.
Jiang Si nodded and said, "It should be Jianshouqing. I opened it and saw that it changed color. I just don't know how toxic it is."
Jiang Linhai nodded, "Well, it's best not to eat anything carelessly."
As soon as he finished speaking, insects that smelled the scent emerged from the ground.
No one drove them away, but watched patiently to see if they would eat the food.
The bug circled around the green-scented amaranth, then decisively avoided it and chose the delicious Japanese knotweed.
Either they are not interested in the green-shouding plant, or they have personally experienced that this thing is poisonous.
Shen Baoying said: "Even if Jianshouqing is poisonous, it will generally not be poisonous after being cooked."
Jiang Linhai said: "You can't eat anything casually."
Although Qin Shen has healing skills, every time he uses it, it consumes a lot of energy and mind.
I helped Niu Niu detoxify yesterday, and now I am still in my original form of a white tiger.
To be on the safe side, everyone put the mushrooms aside and continued building the house.
Qin Shen changed into his original form and fired thunders one after another. The stone wall was shattered and all the stones were moved over by the big guy.
For easy transportation.
Shen Baoying worked hard to grow two willow trees. Everyone used the willow branches to weave baskets, but the load-bearing effect was very poor, so they changed it into fish baskets and placed them on the beach to see what they could catch.
After a busy day, the first small stone house consisting of only a bedroom, kitchen and toilet was finally completed.
Everyone was very happy.
Although the sparrow is small, it has everything. As long as you make some furniture with clay, it can be a nice and cozy home.
Everyone can stay inside to avoid the cold tonight.
Just when everyone was happy, suddenly a gust of wind blew up the sand again.
The wind and sand made it impossible to see the surroundings, and everyone had a very bad premonition in their hearts.
I can’t be so unlucky. I just finished repairing the house and then a sandstorm came.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
In a short while, the yellow sand was blown more and more by the strong wind, and they didn't know whether the house they built could remain stable.
When everyone was very worried, even stronger sandstorms came.
I didn't care about the house and just lay down to avoid being blown away by the wind.
There are no trees at all, and the yellow sand is like the master of this land, domineering and overbearing.
This time, the wind blew for more than two hours, and everyone was buried half a meter deep before it stopped.
Everyone stood up in the dark, and Jiang Si hurriedly asked Qin Shen, "How is our house?"
Qin Shen shook his head, "Not very good."
Even though they used very strong building repair technology, the roof was still blown away by the Sand City explosion.
This made everyone very discouraged again.
If there were a sandstorm every day, they might as well bury themselves in the ground and save themselves the trouble of repairing their houses.
Shen Baoying said: "Or don't build a house, dig a cave, or just build a tent to live in. Isn't that what people who live in the desert do?"
Jiang Si thought it was okay, but everyone preferred to live in caves and build tents, but they did not have the right materials to build tents.
It will be difficult to hoard supplies in the future.
So, everyone cheered up and decided to find a suitable cliff tomorrow morning and dig a few large holes to settle down.
The group got along for another night until dawn. Just as they were about to look for a suitable cliff, Qin Shen noticed someone approaching them.
