MTL - A Cannon Fodder Female Partner To Raise a Cub In The Era Novel

Chapter 5 Picking Wild Vegetables

The thatched house is located at the foot of the mountain, a little far away from the village. The closest thing is a cowshed.

The hastily built cowshed was not even comparable to their thatched house. Her vague memory told her that there were two exiled bad elements living inside.

Thinking of this, Li Jing frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed her brows.

This social status quo does not seem to be a big problem. Her memory tells her that people will soon have better days.

Li Jing’s destination is a running water ditch flowing from the mountain about one kilometer away from the village, where there are fish.

 At home, we are short of staple food, so stewing a pot of fish soup is a good choice.

 Actually, there is an artificially raised fish pond in the village, but the fish raised in it are collective property and cannot be touched. Only this living water ditch, from time to time, people catch fish and beat them with toothpicks.

This season the vegetation is luxuriant. The villagers in the production team have always been working on the farmland and have no habit of taking care of it, allowing weeds and trees to grow everywhere.

However, being wild has its benefits. All kinds of wild plants are gifts from nature.

 So in this season, the villagers who rely on the mountains have no shortage of wild vegetables and fruits to eat, and almost everything that can be eaten around them has been picked.

The distance Li Jing walked towards her destination was only a narrow path trampled by villagers, surrounded by weeds and many edible wild vegetables.

Li Jing used her powers for a moment, and the nearby plants a few meters away clearly appeared in her mind. After comparing the wild vegetables that "Li Jing" knew in her memory and knew the taste well, she selected some wild vegetables that were recognized by people here and tasted really good. .

Amaranth has oval leaves and thick stems, green or red in color. Li Jing planned to go back to plant it, so she uprooted it.

She used some wood-type powers. She only wanted to keep the wild vegetables alive. Unexpectedly, just a little bit of energy caused the wild vegetables in her hands to grow wildly. From young green vegetables, they grew into plants about one meter long and spherical flowers. The clusters of red are dazzling.

Li Jing was startled and clenched the wild vegetables in her hand.

 In the end of the world, it is so difficult to ripen plants with wood-type abilities, but it is so easy here.

At this time, the last ray of light in the sky is about to disappear, and villagers working in the fields are carrying hoes one after another and preparing to go home. Even if they are far away, even if someone notices Li Jing, they will not be able to see clearly the moment when the plants in her hands grow wildly.

 She relaxed and exhaled slowly.

　　This is a world without zombies or superpowers. She is considered an anomaly. Living in this beautiful world, she cannot let anyone discover her abnormalities. Be extremely careful when using powers in the future.

Li Jing collected some amaranth seeds, replanted the elder amaranths among the weeds, planted them deep and hid them deeply, and then quietly used her powers to destroy these elder amaranths.

This season, amaranth is in its tender green state, so there shouldn’t be these abnormal amaranths.

Li Jing collected the amaranth seeds and picked some bright green and red amaranths. This is a wild vegetable with particularly strong growth ability. After pinching the head, it will grow out quickly and is suitable for planting.

Learning from previous lessons, Li Jing controlled the input of supernatural powers and only made the dug amaranth look more vigorous.

A few wild onions were pulled out, leaving only the rhizomes. Li Jing carefully dug them up with her hands and prepared to go back and plant them.

With more things to pick, Li Jing faced a new problem. There was no container to hold the things on hand. She thought about it and finally gave up on making temporary containers such as backpacks.

 It’s too time consuming.

By the time Li Jing reached the ditch, it was so dark that she could only see the light on the water.

 Li Jing found a new plant, wild mint, and added it to her planting list.

She went down from the high bank, holding the picked wild vegetables and onions in one hand and the branches she just picked up in the other. She used her wood-type power to sense where there were fish based on the water plants in the river.

 The lack of light will not affect her ability to catch fish.

The water flowed slowly. It was not the rainy season, and the water level was extremely shallow. There were faintly visible small and pitiful fish fry, but Li Jing did not catch them.

Having experienced the apocalypse, she has a deep understanding of the concept of continuous cycles.

The idea of ​​raising fish also flashed through Li Jing's mind, but she knew that she couldn't put it into action for the time being.

 It doesn’t matter, the days ahead are long.
