Chapter 292 Wild Watermelon

Everyone followed her voice and looked over, and found that it was a patch of yellow-orange-orange wild vines with a hint of green. Looking from a distance, they were distorted by the heated air, and the lines of sight were intertwined, making people think it was an illusion.

After shouting that sentence, Jiang Yuzhi ran over excitedly and didn't even hear Si Xu asking her to wait.

"Miss Jiang!" Yu Sheng said "Hey" and hurriedly followed.

When I got closer, I discovered that under the yellow-orange vines were fruits that looked like watermelons. They were smaller than watermelons and yellow with green in color, which made Jiang Yuzhi's eyes light up.

"Watermelon!" she screamed, pointing at the fruits and excitedly turning back to the crowd.

She often ate this when she was in the mansion. Most of it was summer fruit. It tasted better after being chilled and was very thirst-quenching.

Hearing this, everyone ran over quickly and slowly. After seeing the fruitful wild vines, their mouths instantly became salivating and they were extremely greedy.

They had been running out of water after walking for so long. It was a blessing from God to encounter fruits like watermelon at this time, which made many people excited.

"Quick, quick, try one!" Yin Qiang's face flushed with heat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked into the wild vines. He picked up a watermelon-like fruit and took it out in front of everyone. The face is opened.

After opening it, he was stunned.

He has also eaten watermelons. The pulp inside is basically red, but the pulp inside this one is...yellow.

Several pairs of eyes stared at it, and even Lin Baoer looked at it curiously, wondering if it was a mutated watermelon. It was not that she had heard of watermelon with yellow flesh before, but she had never tasted it.

Someone who was impatient already wanted to reach out, but was stopped by Yu Sheng in the end.

"can not eat!"

He just ran over from the wild vines on the other side. He was covered in sweat and stopped Yin Qiang from putting the melon pulp into his mouth. He slapped all the melon pulp out of his hand and said, "You can't eat it!"

Seeing that all the melon pulp in his hand was wasted on the ground, Yin Qiang felt a little distressed in his eyes, but he still had some sense, and knew that Yu Sheng had a reason for what he said, so he did not touch the wild watermelon on the ground again.

"Brother Yu, why can't you eat it?" Jiang Yuzhi was worried and looked around. When Yu Sheng said he couldn't eat it, she became very anxious.

Yu Sheng did not give in, and said bluntly: "This thing is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

"We have encountered it before, and we thought it was an edible fruit. However, after one of our companions ate it, he suffered from diarrhea and vomiting, and finally died of poisoning."

His words stunned everyone, and Yin Qiang was so frightened that he took a step back. After looking down at the delicious wild watermelon, his face became a little ugly.

"Ah?!..." Jiang Yuzhi felt the most uncomfortable. Her little face was red from scratches. She thought there was something that could quench her thirst, but she didn't expect it was poisonous, which made her very depressed.

"Could it be that that person had been poisoned at that time?" Si Xu asked thoughtfully.

Although he also knew that he was stupid for asking this question, after all, who could not tell when he was poisoned? But he was not willing to just give up this hard-earned food.

After hearing this, Yu Sheng shook his head, squatted down, grabbed a handful of melon pulp and twisted it, "Some people thought so at the time, so three people died in total."

Because it was something he had never seen before, although he wanted to eat the wild watermelon when he discovered it, he resisted and was prepared to wait for an inspection before considering whether to eat it.

But he could bear it, but others might not. At that time, the group had walked for a long time, and their bodies were in urgent need of water. After seeing these wild watermelons, they started eating them regardless. After eating, he started to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, which seemed to be signs of poisoning. Finally, he died of myrrh.

This was a lesson learned from the past. When Yucai Yusheng saw the wild vines, he went to check whether it was the kind of fruit he had encountered before. After confirming it, he hurried over to stop them.

After hearing this, everyone no longer dared to think about this wild watermelon, and all stopped.

Si Xu also frowned, and after scanning around, he sighed softly, "Everyone, just rest here for a while."

The reason why this wild watermelon can grow is because there is a large shady area blocked by sand and gravel, which is suitable for them to rest temporarily.

After everyone put down their belongings, they rested on the spot. They no longer cared about their appearance. They were lying around, obviously very tired.

Hearing that she couldn't eat it made Jiang Yuzhi very sad. She collapsed beside Lin Baoer, her lips were so thirsty that they were peeling. She was very embarrassed.

She doesn't have as much physical strength as others. The more water she walks, the more water her body will naturally evaporate, and she needs more water, so she drank all the water early in the morning. She can persist here now because of her perseverance.

Seeing her like this, Lin Baoer handed over his water bottle and said, "Drink some."

Jiang Yuzhi was stunned, and immediately sat up straight. He hesitated but accepted it.

She also wanted to shirk the problem, but she was so thirsty now that she felt like she was going to die if she didn't drink water.

However, when she took Lin Baoer's kettle and shook it, she found that there was still more than half of the water in it, which surprised her.

You must know that they didn’t prepare much water at the beginning. She and Lin Baoer only filled up the water bottles they brought with them, and didn’t bring much else. But after walking for so long, Lin Baoer’s water bottle actually contained There was still more than half a bottle of water, how could she not be surprised.

"Sister Baoer, you..." She wanted to ask, but before she finished speaking, Lin Baoer seemed to have expected what she wanted to ask and explained: "I didn't drink much along the way, so there was quite a lot left. I I’ll give you some.”

Without waiting for Jiang Yuzhi's refusal, she took Jiang Yuzhi's kettle and filled it with more than half of the water until there was only a little water left in her own kettle.

At this time, Jiang Yuzhi also came to his senses, widened his eyes and quickly grabbed the kettle, "Sister Bao'er! Enough, enough! You are almost gone!"

She wanted to fall back, but Lin Baoer dodged her.

Lin Baoer smiled at her, raised his head and took a sip of water, "Don't worry, I have enough here. Could it be that you want to die of thirst?"

She teased, making Jiang Yuzhi feel extremely embarrassed. After thinking about it over and over again, he had no choice but to compromise.

She thought that she would just wait until Lin Baoer ran out of water and then return it to her.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yuzhi finally felt at ease.

She cherished the water she got. After taking a few sips to relieve the dryness of her throat, she put the kettle away.

Lin Baoer also breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that Jiang Yuzhi no longer pushed the blame. She shook the kettle in her hand and began to think deeply.

She has a system in hand, and the water is naturally inexhaustible, but... what about the others?
