Chapter 57
Just looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst
Jin Jiaojiao waited until he was far away before he poked his head out, "Ayan Jiangjing, we obviously have so much water, why don't you give us a little more?"
Jin Yan was sitting outside with the old god around. For some reason she thought of that guy Jiang Yan. If he were here, he would definitely not agree with her kindness.
"Gifts are light but affection is heavy. Although we give them a small amount, it is enough for them to persist for a while. But if we give too much, what will we do ourselves?"
Sometimes they don't really need much water, they just look at the plum blossoms to quench their thirst.
There is very little water, but if they all try to hold on a little longer, and if they can't hold on any longer, just take a sip, then they can last a long time.
"Sister Ayan, I heard from aunt and others that Yangyun County is a good place to go. Do we want to go there?"
"Not going."
Jin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly opened the curtain and came out to sit with her, "But if everyone is going, Yangyun County should be a good place, right?"
Jin Yan watched her sit up firmly before saying, "Look, there are so many people going to Yangyun County along the way, but can Yangyun County really accommodate so many people?"
No matter how big a county can be, even if it admits some people, it will still be too much.
Besides, where are these people going? Even if they have good resources, I'm afraid there will be nothing left for them if they wait.
Jin Jiaojiao nodded in understanding, "That means we won't compete with them."
Jin Yan laughed a little, "That's what it means. With our current ability, we can go a little further. Why bother fighting with so many people in Yangyun County? Maybe it won't be any better there."
They still had a lot of things in the car, so even if they could keep walking for several months, it wouldn't be a problem. Since they were escaping, they had to go to a good place to stop.
"Sister Ayan, is Baili County really a place for barbarians? But Baili County has been recaptured, so the barbarians have been beaten out."
"Who knows?" Jin Yan added, "Anyway, we don't want to go hundreds of miles away. I think Hachinohe County is a good place. It's also in the south. It can be reached in a month or two."
The area where they are now is still Jinyun, and these people don't want to leave Jinyun. They want to go to Yangyun County to survive this period, and then they can go back when the drought is better.
Jin Yan asked people for directions to Hachinohe County, but there were not many people who were as kind-hearted as Brother Zhang and others, and many people did not bother to share information with her.
Especially looking at her driving a carriage, she must be rich or noble, and she almost has the word "rob" written on her face.
Jin Yan was somewhat frustrated, but he still didn't give up. He kept asking questions all the way, and finally found out the route.
This road was really depressing, the woods were all bald, and the bark of the trees had been pulled out and eaten, leaving bare tree trunks.
After she separated from others, there were fewer people in the direction she walked, and the trees around her started to look normal. It was not until noon that she found a safe place to stop.
"I see there are quite a lot of woods around here. Let's go see if there is anything to eat, and also look for water sources. We can't rely on food in the car to survive this journey."
Jin Jiaojiao nodded, locked the carriage door, and asked Zhaocai to wait and take care of the things.
Each of them took a guy, Jin Yan took a pickaxe and a basket, and Jin Jiaojiao took a small hoe.
The forest was not big, it was just a hillside that could be covered in half a day by walking. Jin Yan took her around and looked around.
Her eyes were unusual, and she noticed clues when she was in the Prince's Mansion, and later tried to study them.
She guessed that there was a bug when the AI read the file for her. With her discerning eyes, she could tell what it was just like the scanner.
But this function is only applicable to plants and animals. She cannot recognize artificial products such as tables and stools.
But it’s good to have this ability, she can tell where the food is just by looking at it.
Jin Yan's eyes were shining as he glanced left and right twice before leading Jin Jiaojiao away.
Seeing her walking so fast, Jin Jiaojiao murmured in his heart. She just glanced at her and left without taking a serious look. What kind of food could she find?
But the fact is that if you follow Jin Yan, you will get meat to eat. The two of them walked through most of the forest, and Jin Yan actually found a wild chestnut!
Now is the ripe season for chestnuts, but this year there is a severe drought and water shortage, and the chestnut fruits are extremely small.
Jin Jiaojiao didn't understand these things, but when he saw her eyes glowing with gold as she stared at the thorny fruit on the ground, he wanted to ask her what it was.
"This is chestnut, also called chestnut, and it is edible."
Jin Jiaojiao suddenly felt curious, "This fruit looks so strange, how can we eat it?"
As Jin Yan said this, he picked up a plump chestnut. He stepped on it lightly with his feet, and the chestnut suddenly came out.
The chestnuts here are not big, so she put them away and said, "Look, use your feet to break open the shell of the fruit. The chestnuts inside are the chestnuts. We can take them back and eat them as snacks."
The little girl suddenly opened her mouth wide. She never thought that such a magical thing could happen, but she was always unambiguous about eating, "Sister Ayan, let's break more chestnuts!"
"Come on and work hard. I see there are a lot of chestnuts that have fallen. Be careful. We'll just pick the plump and round ones. We won't use the broken ones."
Although there is a shortage of food now, there is not much flat meat, and even if it is boiled, it will be boiled.
Jin Jiaojiao was smart and mastered the technique after learning it from Jin Yan. The two of them worked together in the forest until the area was cleared.
Jin Yan picked up the chestnuts and picked them up. The chestnut trees here are wild and the fruits are not as good as those grown by fruit farmers. Often half a pound of fruit is full of bones!
The two of them were lucky to be able to pick out a good one when they opened a fruit. Even after working for so long, they still harvested several kilograms.
"Go back first. I think I can't leave today. Go back and boil water to boil the chestnuts."
"good!"
When they returned to the foot of the mountain, Zhaocai was still looking at them.
It seemed to accuse them of leaving for too long and leaving it alone here.
Jin Yan quickly drove the carriage forward. She actually wanted to find a place with water.
It was a pity that they had never found water since they left the mountain stream. This matter really made her anxious.
They drank most of the water, and now the water bag has been used up, and three buckets of water storage buckets have been drained. Only seven buckets are left. The soy sauce pork and braised pork have been eaten one after another in those days, and there are not many baked buns.
The only thing that still has plenty of it is pork breasts, but this is not a meal.
Zhaocai walked for a long time, and when he reached it, he was so hungry that he lost his temper, so Jin Yan stopped.
"It seems that we can only rest here for one night tonight, and we are tired of recruiting money."
Jin Jiaojiao came down from inside and helped her set up the pot, "What about the chestnuts we just found?"
There were so many things packed in baskets, and she didn't know what to do with them.
Jin Yan looked around and said, "Get some sand and fry it. We need to save water now."
This feeling makes me feel like I am trying to survive in the apocalypse.
As long as it is edible, she treasures it and wants to take it all with her!
It's a pity that the carriage is so big, she can't fit it all the way.
"But how can you fry things with sand?"
