Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Yan Xianian bent down and groped under the water, while the others looked at him nervously.

Yan Xiannian fumbled in the water for a while, carefully and forcefully pulled out a lotus root thicker than a human thigh.

The lotus root was section by section, with slender buds growing at the nodes, the skin was light yellow, and it was 1.6 meters seven.

With Yan's strength in previous years, it still seemed very laborious to pull out this lotus root, which shows the difficulty of digging this lotus root.

Yan Xiannian washed the surface of the lotus root with water, grabbed one end of the lotus root, and handed it to Xia Lunong, "Xiao Nong grabs it and takes it with both hands."

It was too late for him to say this, Xia Lunong leaned forward and grabbed the lotus root with one hand.

The lotus root was heavier than he had imagined. As soon as he grabbed it, he fell into the lotus field and almost fell into the lotus field.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Kong Zhi grabbed him, pulled him to his side, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pick up the lotus root.

With lingering fear in her heart, Xia Lunong pulled the lotus root together with him, and then said: "This lotus root is too full and strong, and it fell heavily into my hand."

Yan Xinian smiled: "It means it's a good thing. Get out of the way, I'll throw the hoe on it, I shouldn't need a hoe."

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi stepped aside.

Kong Zhi let go, Xia Lunong weighed the lotus root with both hands, "Shall I cut a piece and try it?"

Yan Xi Nian said: "Just try it, hey, I have already touched the second lotus root."

Xia Huoqu didn't make a sound, but he had already pulled out the first lotus root and handed it to Kong Zhi.

Xia Lunong took the sickle, reached out and peeled a section of lotus root to see what was inside.

The inside of the lotus root is very clean, nothing.

He peeled off the skin and opened his mouth to take a bite.

The lotus root is a bit old, and it tastes slightly scum when chewed, but the taste is very sweet, and it tastes a bit like sweet potato.

Kong Zhi asked: "How is it?"

"It's okay." Xia Lunong glanced quickly, seeing that his brother and his former brother didn't notice this side, quickly handed the lotus root to Kong Zhi's mouth, and urged, "Try it too."

Kong Zhi lowered his head and took a small bite from the place where he had bitten, tasted it, and said in a low voice, "It tastes good."

"Yes, this lotus root is of good quality, and the lotus seeds are delicious." Xia Lunong took another bite of the peeled lotus root, and stuffed the rest to Kong Zhi, "Let's go pick lotus seeds."

Kong Zhi said: "I'll get the logs."

Lu Shiyi and the others had four or five small rafts made of foam and wooden boards in the back of their car, and they just took them out for use now.

Xia Lunong said: "I'll go with you!"

The two went to drag the raft over.

One person took a raft, paddled the water with his hands, and went to the depths of the lotus field.

Xia Huoqu saw the long ripples behind their raft, and warned, "Be careful."

"Okay." Xia Lunong cut off a large lotus with a sickle, "Brother, let's go over there."

"Go."

As Xia Huoqu said, he washed the freshly pulled lotus root with water, pulled out his leg stuck in the mud with difficulty, and put the lotus root on the shore.

Seeing him walking staggeringly, Yan Xiannian quickly reached out to help him, "Be careful."

"En." Xia Huoqu just responded when suddenly his feet slipped and his body tilted to one side.

Without thinking about it, Yan Xinian directly supported Xia Huoqu with all his strength, but he almost fell into the water.

Fortunately, he has excellent balance ability. The moment he touched the water, he forcibly tightened his core to stabilize his figure.

"You didn't sprain your foot, did you?" Yan Xiannian stared nervously at Xia Huoqu, "Why did it slip?"

"No big deal." Xia Huo said, "I stepped on something."

As he said that, Xia Huoqu put the lotus root on the ridge of the field, bent down and pulled it out, and pulled out a big river clam the size of a football.

The big river clam is round and bulging, with a black shell and some traces of clam shells on it. It seems that it has grown for many years.

It was pulled up suddenly, before the clam shell had time to close completely, a gap was exposed, and the thick pale yellow clam meat inside could be seen.

If Yan Xiannian stepped on such a big mussel, he wouldn't feel anything wrong.

The mussel was stepped on by Xia Huoqu, but he broke out in a cold sweat, "Be careful. If it opens its shell completely, and if you step into its shell, your foot may be pinched off by it."

Xia Huoqu looked at He Tian and said, "No, it's true to be careful, there may be broken clam shells inside, don't cut your feet."

Yan Xiannian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Then let's all be careful."

Xia Lunong's raft didn't slip far, so they naturally noticed the movement here.

He quickly got up on his knees, stretched his neck to look at the shore, and raised his voice and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I dug a big clam." Xia Huoqu raised the clam in his hand to show him, and urged, "Sit down and don't slip into the water."

Xia Lunong had no choice but to sit back on her knees and shouted: "Brother, be careful."

"I know." Xia Huo channeled, "The water is more dangerous than we thought, so be careful."

Xia Lunong looked away, and continued to cut the lotus with a sickle.

The lotus pods are almost dry, not too heavy, but the plump lotus seeds inside.

Xia Lunong cut off the lotus pods and stuffed them into the sack, paddling the small raft with her hands to continue approaching the next target.

The lotus field is very large. Some lotus flowers bloomed late and are still swaying with the wind, and some lotus pods are still green. When Xia Lunong saw such lotus pods, she cut them off and opened the lotus seeds inside to eat.

The lotus seeds inside the emerald green lotus pod are still tender. If you bite open the lotus seeds and remove the lotus core, the lotus seeds inside are tender, fresh and sweet, very delicious.

Xia Lunong cut and ate one.

Seeing him like this, Kong Zhi reminded: "Eat less, we will have dinner later."

"Understood." Xia Lunong leaned out and handed him the lotus pod, "Do you want to eat?"

"Don't eat." Kong Zhi stretched out his long legs to stabilize the raft under him, "Don't shake, the raft is about to capsize."

"I can't turn over." Xia Lunong looked at the sacks piled on top of the raft, "I'll transport the lotus pods to the ridge of the field first, and then chop a stick or bamboo to push the boat. It's too troublesome to paddle the water with my hands."

Kong Zhi looked at the sack on his bamboo raft, "I'll go with you."

"It's fine, none of us are alone." Xia Lunong said, squatting down and paddling, trying to paddle the raft back to the shore.

Kong Zhi is with him.

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu had already dug up dozens of lotus roots. These lotus roots were neatly piled up on the edge of the field just like the felled firewood, which looked very vivid.

Next to the lotus root, there are six mussels of different sizes. The big one is as big as a washbasin, and the small one is as big as a homework book. They look very spectacular when piled together.

Xia Lunong got off the raft, dragged the lotus pods to the shore, looked at the sky, and said, "We'll eat stewed clams and birds in a dry pot tonight."

Yan Xiannian gritted his teeth and pulled out a large lotus root from the mud. After washing it, he panted and asked, "How do these two taste when stewed together?"

"The river mussels are very fresh, and the bird meat is also very fresh. At the same time, they all have a fishy smell. The dry pot can suppress their fishy smell to the greatest extent and release the umami taste."

"Then eat this." Yan Xiannian panted, "This lotus root is really hard to dig, much harder than harvesting rice in the base."

Xia Lunong immediately said: "Otherwise, let's change it, brother, brother in the past, you go to cut the lotus."

Yan Xinian waved his hand, "Your brother and I both find it difficult. With your small body, it will probably be even more difficult. What's more, being a raw man is not as good as being familiar with it, so let's do it like this."

Xia Lunong looked at the lotus root, and said, "Why don't you stop work and clean up the mussels earlier? I think the mussels should be very difficult to deal with."

Xia Huo channel: "Small river mussels are difficult, with more viscera and less meat. Big river mussels should not be difficult. Later, only the piece of tender meat and two scallops will be dug out. It won't take much time."

Yan Xi Nian said: "We'll go get it when we're tired of digging. Aren't you guys going to chop sticks? Go quickly."

As he said that, he bent down to dig the lotus root again, his face was almost on the water, and his hands were groping underneath.

The lotus root is very big, and he felt it under the water to be sure.

Kong Zhi takes Xia Lunong to chop sticks.

There are few suitable sticks and bamboos near the river bank.

The two changed back into animal form, and flew directly to the nearby mountain, looking for the kind of strong, slender and light wooden stick.

This kind of wooden stick has to find those young trees that have just grown up, and a two-meter stick is enough.

There are not many things on the mountain, but there are many trees.

The golden eagle spotted a forest, and landed with Xia Mao Mao in its mouth.

Xiamaomao was put on the ground by him and took two steps forward. After he transformed into a human form, he untied the backpack around his neck and turned his back to put on his clothes.

He muttered while wearing it, "It's too troublesome to change clothes every time, how about we buy those special clothes for transformation when we go back to the base?"

The transformation clothes at the base are somewhat similar to short bathrobes, and even the underwear is designed with straps. When you want to take it off, you can pull it and throw it away. It is very convenient and easy to wear. It is very popular with the base people.

Especially in summer, the special clothes are light and thin, very cool and convenient to wear, and many people in the base like to wear them.

Xia Huoqu never bought this kind of clothes.

The design of this kind of clothes is average, and it looks disheveled when worn. His personality does not accept this kind of clothes.

He didn't like it, Yan Xiannian and Xia Lunong listened to him, and Kong Zhi remained unified with Xia Lunong.

That kind of clothes has been popular in the base for so long, and basically every orc will prepare a set when they go out, but they have never changed.

Kong Zhi was already dressed, he turned his head to help straighten the collar of the T-shirt, and said, "Buy two sets of the same color, and wear them when we go out alone?"

Xia Lunong raised her eyebrows to look at him, "Couple outfit?"

Kong Zhi said: "Sexy clothes."

Xia Lunong coughed, her whole face turned red, "What, what?"

Kong Zhi lowered his head to meet his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "No?"

Kong Zhi is thin, and his facial lines are mostly straight lines, which makes his beauty very impactful.

Even her ears were red, Xia Lunong tilted her head and inhaled softly, "Why didn't I know you were this tune before?"

"If I used to be like this, it was called sexual harassment, Brother Huo Qu would definitely beat me to death."

Xia Lunong was amused by him, and asked softly, "Then now?"

Kong Zhi twisted his ears, and whispered in his ear, "Now it's fun."

Xia Lunong covered her ears, took a step back, blushed and smiled, covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and muttered softly, "You are too different."

Kong Zhi kissed his palm, "Treating you is naturally different from treating others."

When Kong Zhi spoke, the hot air he exhaled was sprayed into Xia Lunong's palm.

Xia Lunong curled up her fingers.

Kong Zhi looked at his jade-like fingers, kissed him again, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's getting dark, let's cut trees first."

Xia Lunong put down her hands, still laughing, turned her head to look at him, and asked in a low voice: "Is this considered flirting and running away?"

Kong Zhi calmly complained: "Was it because I teased you and ran away, or did you tease me and then ran away? Who wasn't prepared?"

Xia Lunong rubbed her ears and quickly changed the subject, "Let's cut down trees."
