Chapter 276: A World of Two in the Dense Forest
But I will be able to go back sooner or later. It's such a mismatch to marry a country bumpkin.
Wu Yu suddenly sneezed several times. Xue Qing, who was exploring the way ahead, turned his head and looked at him: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay." Wu Yu's words sounded nasal.
Xue Qing thought to himself, please don't catch a cold, there is no western medicine in the space.
I walked back to him, looked at his face, and put the back of my hand on his forehead: "Fortunately, you don't have a fever."
Wu Yu's body was a little stiff and his ears felt a little hot.
Xue Qing looked at the endless mountains and forests in the distance and said, "I remember this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. We can't fly. How long will it take to get out?"
Wu Yu thought about his body and said nothing.
“Take a rest when you are tired”
Xue Qing turned around and saw that he had already sat down, so he sat down too.
The two of them stared at each other, and Wu Yu lowered his head in embarrassment.
Xue Qing burst out laughing: "Wu Yu, are you shy?"
Wu Yu was speechless at this moment. How could he ask such a question? He simply turned his head away and didn't look at her.
After all, Xue Qing is a mature woman inside, while Wu Yu is actually a young man. She has long lost the impulse and unintentional heartbeats of young people.
She was also very hungry. There were obviously a lot of delicious food in the space, but she couldn't expose the space, so she had to starve.
"You sit here, I'll go find some fruit." Xue Qing got up and left.
Wu Yu looked at Xue Qing's back, and in a trance she saw Qing'er many years ago, the little girl who relied on her so much.
Qing'er is taller now and her temperament is completely different.
Xue Qing found that the further he went inside, the more sparse and loose the land became. It seemed that there would be nothing edible, so he sat down heavily on the ground.
She looked up at the sun. The scorching sunlight shone through the sparse leaves onto her body, making her feel a little dry. She took out a glass of water from the space. The water was especially sweet today!
Xue Qing was a little frustrated and grabbed the grass beside him, pulled a handful of it, and was about to vent his anger.
He looked at the "grass" in his hand with lifeless eyes and felt it was becoming more and more familiar. He identified it carefully and a light of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes. It turned out to be potatoes!
Xue Qing seemed to be filled with strength in an instant. He quickly used both hands to dig up the surrounding soil and carefully dug out the potatoes one by one.
Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes, so I took off my coat, spread it on the ground, and carefully put the potatoes inside.
Potatoes are life-saving food. Xue Qing did not expect to find potatoes here. He was filled with strength at this moment.
Looking around, there was about an acre of potatoes at the end of the term.
Xue Qing was not in a hurry. The most important thing at the moment was to fill his stomach first, then put some potatoes into the space, and then take some to find Wu Yu.
Then, she hurried back to Wu Yu with a happy heart, her face filled with excitement, and she couldn't wait to tell Wu Yu: "Look, I found this, this is a potato, you can eat it!"
Wu Yu saw Xue Qing running towards him with something in his arms.
"Potatoes?" Wu Yu asked puzzledly.
Xue Qing knew without looking at his eyes that the people of the Great Zhou didn't have potatoes yet, but they had peppers and potatoes, so how far could they get spicy and sour potato shreds?
"Look, it looks like round beans and is dug out of the soil, so I call it potato," Xue Qing explained.
Wu Yu looked at the "potato" she stuffed into her hand and found that it was indeed not big, about the size of an egg.
"Can this be eaten?"
"You'll know if you try," Xue Qing said, and picked up some dry firewood around her. Wu Yu didn't ask any more questions, but stood up and started picking up firewood with her.
Xue Qing dug a hole in the ground with a dagger and started roasting potatoes.
When the fragrance wafted out, Wu Yu couldn't help swallowing.
Xue Qing peeled off half of the potato skin and handed it to Wu Yu: "Here, eat it. Be sure to eat it in small bites, otherwise you will easily choke to death."
Wu Yu was no longer surprised by anything unusual that Xue Qing did. She just ate the potato in her hand slowly, one bite at a time, as she said.
After they finished eating, Xue Qing clapped his hands and said, "Let me see how the wound on your back is healing."
Wu Yu was stunned, but turned around obediently. The clothes on his back were still torn. Xue Qing gently pulled the clothes apart and found that there was still a little inflammation.
Xue Qing frowned, sprinkled medicine powder on the wound, pulled off the sleeve of his inner garment, and wrapped him up.
"Just keep walking"
The two of them supported each other and walked forward, one step deep and one step shallow.
As the sunlight slowly disappeared, the two suddenly saw a thatched hut not far away.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and quickened their pace in tacit understanding.
When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed a simple wooden house.
Xue Qing went forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"
There was no response from inside. With a slight push, the door opened with a "clack" sound.
When Xue Qing walked in, a mixture of grass and leaves smelled hot in the face. When he smelled carefully, he could also smell the fragrance of melons and fruits.
Wu Yu followed in and said, "This should be the hunters' temporary residence."
Xue Qing took a look around inside and found that there were actually two rooms, the inner room was estimated to be about 5 square meters, and there were even bedding on the simple wooden bed.
There is a wardrobe next to the bed. Looking outside, there is a hole dug on the ground with a black pot hanging above it.
There was firewood piled in one corner, corn in another corner, and the jar next to it was filled with water.
"Wu Yu, you see there is corn and water here. Go in and have a rest. I'll cook," Xue Qing habitually ordered.
Xue Qing saw Wu Yu standing there motionless out of the corner of his eye.
Straightened up: "What?"
Wu Yu looked at the busy Xue Qing: "I can cook too"
Xue Qing smiled and said, "You are injured now, you should have a good rest. When you are well, you can work again."
After saying this, Xue Qingwei was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was something strange about these words.
After hearing this, Wu Yu curled up the corners of his mouth and walked into the bedroom.
Xue Qing didn't think about anything else. He washed the hanging pot and cooked some porridge. Millet porridge is very nutritious.
Wu Yu lay on his side on the bed. Perhaps it was the effect of the medicine or because his body was really tired, but after a while, he fell asleep.
Xue Qing actually heard a slight snoring sound coming from inside, it seemed that Wu Yu had fallen asleep.
After cooking the porridge, she walked out of the house. She didn’t smell the fruity fragrance when she came just now. She walked to the back of the house and found that there were some melons planted there.
Xue Qing exclaimed: "What kind of magical place is this? How come there are cantaloupes?"
Xue Qing looked left and right. It didn't look like a wild one, so it must have been grown by the owner of the house. Should he pick one to try?
