Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

When the others heard that the honey was valuable, they immediately became interested and looked at the hive on the tree with bright eyes.

Li Lei thought for a while and said, "Anyway, the sun has set when we arrive in Xinzhou City, so why not just collect some honey and sell it together tomorrow morning."

The rest of the people nodded one after another, and Li Xuan couldn't stop him anymore, so he all went to pick wild wormwood. Perhaps it was the principle of all things being mutually reinforcing, and there were a lot of wormwood nearby.

After picking for a while, a few people got a lot of wormwood. Li Qingxiu found a single beehive on a branch and started to light the wormwood underneath.

And several of them ran to other places to continue picking mugwort, just for fear of being stung by the escaped honey.

Then came the second and third ones. After half an hour, even a few of them felt a little dizzy. Li Qingxiu started to collect beehives.

Li Lei stayed to collect beehives with Li Qingxiu, while Li Xuan and a few others went to chop bamboo to store honey.

Li Qingxiu wanted to take out the raincoat from the storage compartment, which would be safer. But it’s not easy to move when outsiders are around.

At this time, Li Lei showed his masculinity very well. He asked Li Qingxiu to wait below with the lit mugwort.

Let Li Qingxiu take mugwort to prevent bees from stinging her, so that they can be fumigated away.

Li Lei himself got some mugwort ash and wiped it all over his exposed skin.

Seeing this, Li Qingxiu couldn't help but give Li Lei a thumbs up, which could effectively reduce the risk of being stung by bees.

Li Qingxiu gave his dagger to Li Lei and told him not to press the button on the top of the handle.

Although Li Lei didn't know why he couldn't press the top position, he still nodded obediently.

Li Lei climbed up the tree in three attempts. Fortunately, the branch was quite strong, so it could bear the weight of Li Lei and the hive.

Li Lei quickly cut off the hive, and the huge hive fell to the ground with a bang. A dozen bees immediately ran out of the hive, but the bees were not flying as fast and steady as usual, and even a little crooked. .

Upon seeing this, Li Qingxiu went up with burning mugwort to fumigate the bees away.

She turned around and saw Li Lei coming down from the tree. She immediately put the huge hive into the storage compartment, and then kicked a stone next to it to the bottom of the mountain.

Then he pretended to be remorseful and exclaimed: "Oh, it's all my clumsiness that kicked the hive down the mountain."

When Li Lei heard this, he immediately ran over. He looked down the mountain and saw the shadow of a beehive somewhere.

He said with a pity look on his face: "Why did you kick down the hive?"

Li Qingxiu blamed herself: "A bee wanted to sting my foot, so I accidentally kicked the hive down when I stamped my foot."

Seeing Li Qingxiu's self-blaming look, Li Lei couldn't blame her. He could only comfort him: "It's okay, there are still so many here, just pick more."

Li Qingxiu just nodded when she received a system message.

【drop! Survival mission completed: Ten pounds of honey were obtained today. Reward for successful mission: a beehive for breeding. 500 points. 】

She breathed a sigh of relief after reading the news, Phew! Finally completed this troublesome task.

But when she looked up and saw four or five huge beehives on the tree, her face suddenly fell.

These hives were all successfully smoked. The honey that occasionally escaped from a dozen hives was quickly smoked away by Li Qingxiu with mugwort.

After the two of them cut the beehive, Li Xuan and the others also chopped down many large bamboos.

Several people started making bamboo tubes together, and waited until the bamboo tubes were finished. Li Qingxiu brought two more clean stones and asked Li Lei to cut the honeycombs into pieces.

Li Qingxiu and others squeezed the honey from the honeycomb into the bamboo tube. Then the honeycomb residue is placed on another stone.

Li Qingxiu will naturally not throw away those honeycomb residues. The honeycomb residues can be extracted into beeswax, which can then be made into candles or lipsticks and soaps.

Li Lei also found a lot of bee pupae. He cut them out and put them all in bamboo tubes, and then took them back to add vegetables to the team's supplies.

Li Qingxiu was the only one in the team who was still young, and she was still a girl. Li Lei very considerately cut a small piece for Li Qingxiu to eat.

Li Qingxiu didn't accept it politely and took a small bite. It was so sweet that she squinted her eyes. It was so sticky and sweet that she drank a few mouthfuls of water.

After a few people finally finished a few hives, the sun was gradually setting in the west. Although they spent a long time here, their harvest was huge, harvesting a hundred and three large bamboo tubes of honey.

They also quickly weaved three bamboo baskets to pack the bamboo tubes. Li Qingxiu also carried the stones containing the honeycomb residue, saying that she was going to carry them away and throw them away.

Everyone was so tired that they didn't take Li Qingxiu's words to heart. Just tell Li Qingxiu not to go too far to avoid danger.

Li Qingxiu responded, carried the big stone to a place where those people couldn't see it, and put all the honeycomb residue on the stone into the storage compartment.

After Li Qingxiu came back, Li Xuan said, "Let's find a place to rest for one night before setting off tomorrow. It's not safe to go on the road after dark."

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. Several people immediately hid, and it was left to Li Qingxiu and Li Lei to find out the information.

As soon as Li Qingxiu and Li Lei hid behind a boulder, they saw the previous team returning.

Li Qingxiu and Li Lei looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. It seems that they haven't discovered the valley yet.

After telling Li Xuan and the others the good news, everyone felt relieved. The group found a small cave and spent the night peacefully.

Li Qingxiu woke up early. She was used to sleeping in bed recently. She couldn't sleep well on the cold and hard rocks last night.

After stretching, she summoned a light screen and clicked to sign in.

【drop! Sign in successfully today, congratulations to the host for getting 20 pounds of beet seeds. 】

Li Qingxiu decided to plant beets after the cold wave passed, because the combination of beets and beeswax could be used to make lipstick, and she might be able to make a fortune selling lipstick in the future.

At this time, she felt that one breeding beehive was too little, because if her lipstick business could start up, she would need a lot of beeswax.

It didn't take long for the others to wake up, and everyone took out their own dry food, heated it by the fire, and started eating.

Li Qingxiu brought steamed buns. After she grilled the steamed buns until they were brown, she got the consent of the others, took a little honey and spread it on the steamed buns and ate it. I have to say, it was really delicious.

Seeing how sweet Li Qingxiu's food was, the others also followed her example and spread honey on the pancakes to eat. As soon as they tasted it, they couldn't stop eating. Several men regretted that they had not brought enough dry food.

After breakfast, the group packed up and set off again. After passing two more mountains without incident, the group of them finally saw the Xinzhou City Gate at the top of the mountain, but they saw the scene they least wanted to see.
