survival in the wilderness

Chapter 67 Returning
The ore was heavy, which seriously slowed down the team.

When I came here, I could walk twenty or thirty miles a day, but on the way back, I couldn't walk twenty miles without twists and turns.

Although it was slow, the fear in everyone's hearts was much less, and the iron rods in their hands gave them confidence.

When I first walked out of the mine, I met some fat pikas. Someone threw an iron rod and stabbed the vital part, and the pikas died immediately.

After verifying the sharpness of the iron rod, everyone felt a lot more at ease.

In the past, when they encountered herds of beasts, it wasn't that they didn't dare to fight, but that they didn't have sharp weapons, so it was useless to fight with bare hands.Now, what are they afraid of.

They looked at Lin Yan even more passionately and adoringly. She was right to insist on finding the ore.With a sharp weapon, the defense ability is greatly enhanced.

Hearing from her, these are only crude ones, and after fine processing later, more things and sharper swords will be made.

Seeing the power of the iron rod, they believed Lin Yan's words even more, and they just waited for her to use ore to make more utensils.

The six teams protecting Lin Yan also carried [-] catties of iron ore each, while Hua Hong took some tools and took turns holding Lin Yan along the way.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Lin Yan collected many new species, and the contribution value gradually increased.

Although it was the same way back, there were always various accidents along the way, and some new species were missed.

There are lush vegetation everywhere, her spiritual power cannot be activated all the time, and the species included are not complete.

During the break, Huahong saw Lin Yan digging grass with a small shovel. The small shovel was really small, and she made it herself when she was in the mine.

At that time, other people were busy making tools and mining ore, and she tossed about by herself. In addition to the small shovel, there were also small hoes, small hammers, etc., which could only be used by herself.

Although small, everyone can see that the small objects she tossed out are more delicate than those they made.

"What are you digging grass for? What kind of grass is this?"

Lin Yan was concentrating on digging, and was taken aback, "This is not a weed, but a wild vegetable called leek."

She didn't know it either, and she just discovered it when she was standing on the sidelines. This wild leek grows low and is mixed in the weeds. It's really hard to spot if you don't look carefully.

A clump of leeks is about ten centimeters high, with thick leaves. Fat Bao said it grows better than ordinary leeks.

Moreover, leeks are easy to grow, and a clump can grow into a large area. She has eaten leeks before, but she doesn't like it very much.

There is no choice now, and it is a great excitement to have one more dish.

Nowadays, besides meat and wild fruits, eggs are eaten, and no wild vegetables have been found.

Since she discovered leeks, she transplanted them back. Scrambled eggs with leeks are still good.

Huahong looked at the short leek, "Is this really edible?" In her cognition, this is a weed that only beasts eat.

"Of course, I will know when I go back. Although vegetables look like grass, they are also plants, but they are different from grass."

Seeing Lin Yan digging, Hua Hong took the shovel and dug out the roots and soil with three or two strokes.

Lin Yan found a bowl, filled it with soil and planted the leeks.The time to go back is uncertain. If you die on the way, planting with soil should be able to last until you go back.

Lan Xing took a sip of water, seeing that the two mothers didn't know what they were doing here, so they came over to have a look.

"What is this for? Why do you plant grass in the bowl?"

"It's not grass, it's leeks." Lin Yan retorted immediately, "It's wild leeks, which are edible. If you come across them, dig them out and bring them back together."

Lan Xing looked at the clump of so-called leeks in the bowl in surprise. Not to mention short, they were not as lush and lonely as weeds. He wondered, "Is this really edible?"

"It's definitely edible. Leek has strong reproductive ability, and new ones can grow after cutting it. As long as it is planted, it can be eaten forever in the future."

"What are you eating?" Lan Xing still didn't quite believe it.

Hua Hong didn't quite believe it, and looked at Lin Yan eagerly.

Lin Yan said: "There are many ways to fry eggs. You will know when you find other ingredients. Now there is only this bunch, which is very rare and cannot be eaten by you."

Seeing her swearing, Lan Xing and Hua Hong reluctantly believed it.But it is doubtful whether this thing is really edible.

Then, they searched for leeks in this area, and they didn't find the second clump of leeks until they rested and set off.

Lin Yan was very sorry, only one cluster was not safe, in case he couldn't survive the journey.

On the fourth day, when we arrived in the jungle where we met hyenas, everyone was tense and on high alert. This place was so impressive.

Back then, the bunch of hedgehogs hurt them a lot. Fortunately, they didn't take the initiative to hurt anyone. The group of hyenas hurt more than a dozen people. Although they were besieged and killed, they still left traces in their hearts.

When you come here, you will unconsciously increase your vigilance, fearing that the old things will repeat themselves.

The large team stopped, and first sent two small teams to investigate the situation. Almost a month had passed, and the blood should have dissipated long ago, and there were no bones left of the hyena.

Two hours later, the investigation team came back, and the forest was safe. Only some bones were left at the place where the fight had taken place, and there was no sign of animal activity.

Heitu looked up at the sky, it was getting late, he ordered to stop and rest, after recuperating, he will pass through the forest quickly tomorrow morning.

The people in the guard team immediately chose a tall tree to climb up to watch, this is a habit they formed on the road.If you can see far from a high place, someone must go up to watch.

Others obeyed orders and put away the iron ore, herbs and other things that were transported.

Lin Yan took a look at the leeks in the basket first, and found that they were not wilted and growing well, so he felt relieved.

Hua Hong couldn't help but said, "Watch three times a day, is this leek really that important?"

"Of course it is important." Lin Yan said without hesitation, "There is only one clump, and it is very rare. It will be difficult to find it if it dies."

"You look so precious, is it more important than iron ore, and I don't see you looking at iron ore." Hua Hong didn't understand, Lin Yan valued a bunch of leeks.

Lin Yan explained it many times, but they couldn't understand it without tasting the deliciousness of leeks.Just like people who have never seen iron ore in person, they don't know the importance of iron ore.

As long as she knows it herself, they will naturally understand when the leeks are planted and eaten.

Huahong boiled water to make broth, and asked Lin Yan to rest on the side.

Lin Yan was about to wander around with her small shovel when Lan Xing walked over with someone.

"What do you need from me?" Lin Yan asked when someone came up to him.

Lan Xing nodded, pointed to the people around him and said: "This is bright. He said he saw a kind of grass that he had never seen before, and it grew a piece. I just went to see it, and it was over there. It is true that I have never seen it before. Yes, I want to take you to see if it is useful."

Ever since he saw the efficacy of herbal medicine, he knew that Lin Yan was very interested in grasses he didn't know. People in the team would come to her whenever they saw something they didn't know.

Lin Yan was very happy, as long as it was a new species, even if it was not needed, it could be exchanged for contribution value if it was collected by the Science and Technology Museum, so he followed excitedly.
