survival in the wilderness

Chapter 88 Return
On August 28, the mining team packed up and set off to return.

When they came, they packed lightly, but when they went back, everyone except Lin Yan and Lan Yue carried heavy loads.

The team of Blue Star carry lighter loads in order to better protect them.

As the leader of the team, Heitu also carried heavy iron on his shoulders.

Although we are tired, everyone is happy in their hearts. This is the joy of harvest.Just bring things back to create more weapons and tools.

After personally using iron weapons, they are even more convinced of the importance of iron.

Not only that, but you can also get bonuses, and earning money is even more empowering.

Seeing Mao Mu grinning all the time, Lin Yan couldn't help asking, "Why are you so happy? What's the matter?"

"Happy, I'm going home soon." Mao Mu was happy, "I've been away from home for too long this time, my mother doesn't know what's going on."

"When I think of going back with so much ore, I can still make money. My mother will no longer have to worry about it. I can afford her."

Lan Yue interjected: "You used to burn kilns and smelt iron, and you can earn a lot of money in the smelter, which is enough to support your mother."

Mao Mu is a technical talent. His monthly basic salary in the smelter is 2 cents, plus the money he earns from firing the kiln. He is hardworking and capable, and his monthly income is at least 4 cents, so he doesn’t have to worry about supporting his family at all.

"That's different. Auntie is getting old. I don't want her to work hard. If I can make more money, Auntie won't have to do anything."

Lan Xing looked at Mao Mu appreciatively, "That's right, a man should have responsibilities and responsibilities. You have grown up, know how to be filial to your elders, and work hard in the future. Now people in the tribe are busy earning money, and your salary is very high , it will be no problem to support your mother."

Momu laughed and said: "As long as I think about making more money, I will be full of energy and motivated to do anything."

"I think so too. There is a bonus for this trip back, but I just don't know how much it will be paid?" Lan Xing looked at Lin Yan and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how much the bonus will be paid?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "This is a matter of the military department, how would I know. However, everyone is risking their lives when they come out, and the bonus will definitely not be low."

"No matter how much money is distributed, everyone is happy in their hearts." Lan Xing was vigilant about his surroundings, while whispering: "Since getting coins, everyone's enthusiasm has increased, and they are willing to do anything to make money."

"But money is really a good thing. As long as you have it, you can buy everything. When I go back, I will buy some farm tools for my family to open up wasteland."

Lan Xing has a lot of people in his family, but there are too few farm tools, so it is very laborious to open up wasteland.

Lan Yue looked at him, "Yesterday you said you wanted to buy a big knife. At the current price, a big knife costs at least 6 cents. Do you still have money to buy farm tools?"

Iron was expensive and expensive only because it cost so much to mine and ship.A kitchen knife costs 2 cents, the iron pan is heavier, and the smallest one costs 5 cents to start.

Lan Xing disagreed, "I have strength, but I'm afraid I won't be able to earn money. I'm a wage earner now. If I save for a few more months, I can buy everything."

"Good ambition." Lin Yan praised, "Nowadays, Sun City is waiting to be rebuilt, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to make money."

Lan Xing said to Lan Yue shyly: "See, Lin Yan is optimistic about me. As long as you work hard, you can earn money. In a short time, I can buy all kinds of farm tools for my family, and I can also buy a big knife. "

The spear in his hand is equipped by the military and does not belong to the individual.

Now Sun City's weapons are all owned by the military and are shared property, so it is very difficult for an individual to own one.After this batch of ore is transported back, the forged weapons will be sold to individuals.

Several people whispered, and the morning passed quickly.

During the noon break, Lin Yan asked Mao Mu to take her up a big tree to observe the surrounding terrain.

She has figured out the area of ​​two miles around the mine. The land in that area is barren and not suitable for planting.The vegetation on the ground is low and mostly weeds.

She thought it might be because of the minerals in the ground that the land was not suitable for plant growth.

Going straight southeast from the mine is Sun City, and the terrain along the way is ups and downs.Before entering the pika, the terrain slowly rises and is a jungle area.There are many kinds of living animals and plants.

Lin Yan wanted to measure the places he had traveled on this trip, and formulate a new route to reduce the twists and turns on the road, so as to make preparations for the direct access to the mine in the future.

The others had long been accustomed to Lin Yan's behavior, and they were always vigilant when they were resting, in case any fierce beasts would come out.

On the way back, I stopped and went, and moved forward with a heavy load. The speed was much slower than when I came. Fortunately, I didn't encounter a group of fierce beasts.

The team arrived at Shoal Beach on September 21, only three days away from Sun City.

"Tomorrow we can arrive at the place where the wheat seedlings were found, but the cold season is approaching, so I don't know if the wheat seedlings are still alive." Lin Yan was worried, and she also thought of this question suddenly.

Lanyue also looked worried. The more they walked along the road, the more they found that some plants began to wither, and they realized that the wheat seedlings would do the same.

"Don't worry, even if it withers, there should be seeds. Let's look for it carefully, and we will definitely find it."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "That's right, when we found the wheat seedlings, there were no ears of wheat. After two months, they should be mature. We will search carefully tomorrow, and we must find the wheat seeds."

Lan Xing said: "We will search together with you. With so many people, we will definitely be able to find the seeds."

Along the way, Lin Yan mentioned Mai Mai from time to time, and they all knew how much she valued her.Although I didn't really see Mai Mai, everyone was looking forward to it after Lin Yan's science popularization.

Early the next morning, Lin Yan urged everyone to hurry up, she couldn't wait to see the condition of the wheat seedlings.

In the last few days of the journey, the distance from Sun City was getting closer and closer, and everyone was relieved when they arrived at a familiar place.With a smile on his face, his steps were much lighter.

After half a day, the team arrived at the place where the wheat seedlings were found.

Lin Yan hurriedly asked Mao Mu to take her there to find the wheat seedlings.

Lin Yan's heart sank when he saw the withered and yellow weeds.Sure enough, plants are the most sensitive to changes in climate.

It's the end of September, and the cold season will soon enter. Most of the leaves of the vegetation are withered and yellow, and they are gradually falling off.

She found wheat seedlings among a pile of weeds. Against the backdrop of wildly growing weeds, the withered yellow wheat seedlings were very inconspicuous and even thinner.

The slender stems seem to be unable to withstand the wind and rain.The heavy ears of wheat drooped at the top, bending the stalks.

Seeing the ears of wheat, Lin Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to fold them off and observe them carefully.

"Is this a seed?" Mao Mu looked at the ear of wheat in Lin Yan's hand and asked.

Lin Yan nodded, "It's ears of wheat. After removing the husks, there are wheat inside. However, the ears of wheat seem to grow strong, big and long, but half of them are empty."

Seeing that the ears of wheat are so big, the yield must be high.But the amount she got was not enough, so she squeezed it hard, only to find that there were many empty shells.

Mao Mu said: "It's good to have it, I'm still worried that I can't find the seeds."

"You're right, the best thing is to find the seeds. Let's find out if there are any ears of wheat around."

Dozens of people searched the land and harvested more than 20 ears of wheat.Unable to find any more, the team set off on their way back.
