Chapter 287: Looking for Food
"What about me?" Wang Zhong stretched out his hand hesitantly.
As a traveling chef, he must know better than Yu Sheng what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. Bringing him along will make things more efficient.
But Si Xu shook his head, "You stay here too. We are just looking nearby and won't go far. It will be inconvenient with too many people."
If Lin Baoer hadn't taken the initiative to ask to go, maybe he would have hesitated.
Seeing him say that, Wang Zhong had no choice but to give up.
His proposal was rejected. Jiang Yu looked at Lin Baoer aggrievedly, as if asking why he couldn't go.
Lin Baoer couldn't pretend not to see it, the resentful look was too strong, leaving her helpless and could only comfort her gently, "We will be back in an hour or two at most. More people may not be good, and women should be more careful. Xiaosong was injured so badly, are you sure you can let those big masters take care of him?"
Because Xiaosong had been protecting Jiang Yuzhi, Jiang Yuzhi treated Xiaosong closer to him than others. Lin Baoer saw all of this, so she said this on purpose now.
Jiang Yuzhi looked over as she said and found that although Yin Qiang was feeding Xiaosong without complaint, men were not that attentive. He just fed the food and didn't care whether Xiaosong felt it was dry or hard to swallow. There were a lot of stains on his collar.
In this way, Jiang Yuzhi compromised.
She wanted to go only because Lin Baoer went there, not because she had to go.
"Sister Baoer, you must be careful on the way." She reminded.
Lin Baoer nodded and smiled at her.
After making the decision, the four of them set off with some things on their bodies. Yusheng led the way in front, and they made marks behind.
Although these marks may not be useful in the desert, they are better than nothing.
The reason why Lin Baoer insisted on going was because she wanted to take the opportunity to exchange some things from the system mall, and then pretend that she found them outside and took them back, so that she could hide her tracks and avoid suspicion.
If she always stayed in front of people, she would have no excuse to take things out. As
the few people walked, suddenly, it began to rain heavily, which surprised them.
"It's raining here?" Si Xu was the most surprised person.
Lin Zhishen knew something because he had traveled to the desert several times, and Lin Baoer had also learned about it in modern times, so she was not surprised.
Seeing his surprise, Yu Sheng smiled and explained, "It rains occasionally, but the amount is small and it's not easy to encounter. But generally speaking, after it rains, it proves that good things will come out."
He kept it a secret, and his face was full of joy.
As he said, the rain stopped gradually before the few people found a place to shelter from the rain.
However, although it only rained for a while, the four people were also quite wet.
Lin Baoer shook the coat she was wearing and handed it to Lin Zhishen.
This was the coat that Lin Zhishen took off and gave to her to protect her from the rain when it rained just now. She didn't get wet, but half of Lin Zhishen's body was wet.
Fortunately, the sun soon occupied the top of their heads, and the warm temperature did not cause the few people who were caught in the rain to catch a cold.
After walking for a long time, the leader Yu Sheng suddenly stopped and then started trotting.
Si Xu also saw a flash of emerald green from a distance and couldn't help being surprised.
"It's really strange to see green here." He said happily.
Even after saying this, he did not stop and trotted over after Yu Sheng.
After passing by, a few people discovered what this green patch of green was.
"This is sand green onion." Yu Sheng smiled, picked up one and smelled it. There were still a lot of water droplets on it, probably because it had rained before.
The scallion in Yu Sheng's mouth looks very much like grass. Its leaves are cylindrical, each one is tall and green, and it looks full of life.
"Although its taste is average, not delicious, but the texture is very good, and it is rare in this place, we usually eat it as a side dish." It
is very delicious to eat with the staple food, just like a side dish, but it's a pity that their pancakes have been eaten at noon.
Yu Sheng's face flashed with regret, but he still carefully pulled them up by the roots, "This kind of sand onion is very drought-resistant and resistant to poverty. It will stop growing in drought, but it will grow rapidly when it rains."
The three people next to him suddenly realized and dug the sand onion together. Not only that, Yu Sheng also dug some dried sand onions next to him, explaining while digging, "These are extremely flammable."
Although there is nothing to start a fire in the desert, it is better to be prepared.
There weren't many sand chives in this area, and only a few handfuls could be picked, so everyone didn't go home, but planned to walk a little further away.
Yu Sheng looked at the road behind and said, "It should be about five miles if we walk a little further, so we shouldn't go too far."
Several people nodded.
If they went too far, they couldn't guarantee that they could return the same way.
While walking, Lin Baoer picked up a sand chive curiously and tasted it, but before she put it in her mouth, she was stopped by Lin Zhishen.
"It's dirty." He wiped the sand chives clean for Lin Baoer, and then passed it to her, without stopping her from eating it raw.
Lin Baoer put it in her mouth with peace of mind, and then frowned.
How should I describe the taste of this scallion... It tastes a bit like raw chives and scallions. It tastes really good, and a bit spicy, but Lin Baoer can't accept it...
As early as modern times, she couldn't accept the taste of raw scallions, and she couldn't eat raw chives.
She felt a little sluggish after tasting it. Seeing her like this, Lin Zhishen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It doesn't taste good, right?"
Lin Baoer nodded depressedly.
Lin Zhishen stuffed the remaining half of the scallion in her hand into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Seeing that his expression did not change, Lin Baoer was puzzled, "Can you eat?"
Lin Zhishen swallowed the chives in his mouth and nodded, "I can accept it." After
a pause, he continued, "Once I was trapped in the desert. At that time, there was no food. The group had been hungry for three days. Do you know what a very hungry person would eat?"
Lin Baoer looked into his eyes, confused, filled with unpredictable emotions.
In fact, Lin Baoer had also heard of the theory of cannibalism, but she didn't want to think in that direction, let alone guess whether Lin Zhishen had done such a thing.
So she took the initiative to ask, "What would they eat?"
Lin Zhishen's expression remained unchanged, and his tone lowered, "Some people couldn't bear it and starved to death, and the fresh corpses were placed there. When they saw the meat, guess what they would do."
No need to guess, they would naturally share and eat it.
