Challenge the wilderness to survive
Chapter 23 Bird Eggs and Maogen (for collection)
However, Xu Yi knew the answer.
There are 6 bird eggs on it, and they are not too small, as big as a small egg.
After climbing for about ten minutes, Xu Yi reached the bird’s nest.
"Haha, Kaisen, bird eggs, I found bird eggs."
"This skill, I haven't used it for a long time."
Xu Yi happily put the bird eggs in the bird's nest into his basket, and then looked around and observed.
Unfortunately, the forest is too dense, and his height is not enough, so he can't see anything.
Su Keke did not stare at Xu Yi, she took her spear and looked around vigilantly.
She felt that preventing the beasts around her was more important than looking at Xu Yi.
Coming down is much easier than going up.
Within a minute, Xu Yi slid to the ground.
"Dad, how about it, is there any bird eggs?"
Su Keke asked curiously at this time.
"Well, there are six, how big, look."
Xu Yi opened the lid of his basket and said happily.
"Wow, what a big bird egg, just like an egg."
Su Keke took out one and laughed happily.
"Well, it's really big. Cooked at noon, enough for us to eat."
Having solved the lunch problem so early, Xu Yi suddenly felt a lot less pressure.
Three bird eggs per person, and five or six tree pupae are added, and it is sure to be full.
However, after eating so much protein, he felt he needed some carbohydrates.
Cassava, Pueraria lobata, potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, yam, these can all become sources of carbohydrates and used as staple food.
However, Xu Yi did not find such plants.
If you don't get carbohydrates for a long time, it will make you feel depressed and lose your fighting spirit.
In the wilderness, supplementing certain other carbohydrates is very necessary.
"Go, let's continue on our way, hoping to find a water source today or discover some cassava plants."
"Coco, do you know Pueraria lobata?"
Xu Yi doesn't know much about plants, so I think it's more reliable to rely on Coco.
"Acknowledge, Pueraria lobata is a medicine, but it's not easy to dig."
Su Keke had digged it alone, and it was very difficult, because the Pueraria lobata root is deeper.
"When you encounter any medicine that you know, you must remind your father, otherwise he might have missed it."
Xu Yi didn't say that he didn't know him. This was to prepare for the future.
What if the reward given by the system is the complete set of plants?
If you don't know each other now, and you will suddenly know each other later, it will seem very unreasonable.
"There is more and more grass on the ground, which is a good thing."
Although there was no special discovery, Xu Yi was very happy to see this situation.
"Dad, see that those are Imperata cylindrica, and the root can be used to make herbal tea. Moreover, its root is very sweet and can be eaten directly."
Su Keke found some white grass, and was very happy to report to Xu Yi.
"We are now in need of this white grass root, to dig a little."
After that, Xu Yi and Su Keke came to the place where the white grass grows.
Xu Yi discovered that the white grass that Su Keke said was thatch, which could be used to build thatched houses.
However, the height of these thatch is very short, only about twenty centimeters.
If it is used to make a thatched house, it must be at least sixty or seventy centimeters in height.
Xu Yi first inserted the root of the spear into the ground, tried to pry the soil up, and then got out the roots of the white grass.
As a result, he found that the soil here is relatively hard, and the prying method is also very laborious.
Then he tried it with an axe.
It's not very easy to handle, but at least it's better than using a spear.
If you want to dig something, the best tools are a hoe, a pickaxe, and a shovel.
Xu Yi has none of these.
It can’t be done for a while, so I can only dig slowly with an axe.
Xu Yi first used an ax to carefully cut off the upper part of the thatch.
The edges of thatch are relatively sharp, making it easier to cut the delicate skin.
If Xu Yi often does farm work and has rough hands, he doesn't need to worry about it.
Unfortunately, his hands are very delicate.
After cutting the thatch, he started digging with an axe.
After digging a few times, Xu Yi dug one out.
The root of the white spear was white. After removing the yellow mud on it, Su Keke immediately chewed it.
"It's very sweet. The soup is delicious."
Su Keke said contentedly, as if he had eaten some delicious snack.
Xu Yi continued to work hard, and after digging out one, he broke it and put it in his mouth.
After chewing it, it turned out to be some sweet juice.
"The sweetness is quite mild, but it's really good."
Now Xu Yi is more motivated.
Although the axe is not as easy to use as the hoe, it is still efficient.
After more than 40 minutes of digging, Xu Yi dug out all the thatch roots.
Su Ke can be tied up with thatch, there are three small pieces.
In addition, she grabbed a dozen of them in her hand, which she prepared to chew and eat.
Su Keke asked Xu Yi, but Xu Yi didn't.
One food is enough, so it's better to restrain yourself.
Xu Yi rested for a few minutes, and then went on with Su Keke.
Now it's less than 11 o'clock.
At least, you can drive another hour, and then come back for lunch.
Without finding the water source, time is precious, and you can't delay too long on the road.
In addition to rushing on the road, the two people have to look for water cane.
Right now, their drinking water can only be solved by water cane.
"Dad, will the vines over there be water vines?"
Su Keke found a big tree, and a large number of vines were hanging from the tree.
Xu Yi glanced at the time, 11:47.
"Go, let's go over and have a look, and have lunch by the way."
"Yeah."
Su Keke was happy when he heard lunch.
She was lying on Xu Yi's back, after all, her physical strength was still relatively limited.
Every day when on the road, Xu Yi would carry her for a while and let her rest.
Soon, two people came to that place.
Xu Yi put down Su Keke, raised his axe, and chopped one directly.
"Water, there is water, dad, we found the water cane again."
The water in the first snakeskin bag had already been drunk. If it hadn't been for Su Keke who had chewed some thatch roots, his lips would be dry and cracked now.
"Great, how many water vines, enough to fill our two snakeskin water bags."
Xu Yi's mood also improved, and passed the water cane to Su Keke, and then prepared to cut the water cane to drink.
At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly smelled a bad smell.
A rotten smell made his stomach roll over.
The carcass of some animal was decayed, and it was floating in the breeze.
