The cause is that Gu Meng is worried that the collected coal will not be enough, so she tries to ask if she can go to the back hill of the villa to cut some dead branches and bring them back.
Lin Yiran and Su Yu immediately looked at each other, then quickly shifted their gazes. Obviously, they only brought back 30 boxes of honeycomb coal on the surface. In fact, there are a large number of honeycomb coals in Su Yu's space, and there is no need to worry at all.
Who knows, Lin Yiran nods in agreement. "It's better to be prepared. Anyway, we're idle in the apartment, we can go and cut some and bring them back."
Then, he mentioned the previous found coal supplies, letting them not worry too much, "Last time, we found a lot of coal, and most of it was placed in a safe place, so don't worry too much. If it's really used up, we can go and ask for it then."
Everyone nodded in unison. Su Yu also nodded. Staying in the apartment, except for eating, it's just exercise, and it really needs to go out for a walk to adapt to the outside temperature. Going to cut branches can also exercise arm strength. So, everyone decided to go and cut some dead branches the next day, and draw lots to decide who will stay at home to look after, Li Zhun.
The next morning, after having breakfast, the five of them put on thick cotton clothes, wore hats and scarfs, wore gloves on their hands, and also attached two warm baby stickers on their bodies, carrying knives and kayaks, and went out.
Li Zhun stared at them downstairs with eager eyes, and could only go to exercise by himself. When Su Yu and the others went downstairs, some people opened the door and looked over, staring at them straight with their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.
When passing by the ninth floor, they ran into two people who were pulling and tugging. Looking up, it was an old acquaintance, Chen Xiaoxue from the eighth floor. She was wearing relatively clean and thick clothes, looking shy, with her hand being held by a middle-aged man, and their bodies were in close contact.
Su Yu rolled her eyes and guessed that the two of them had hooked up. In the end of the world, women who can't protect themselves, many women choose to use their bodies to exchange for supplies and attach themselves to men. This is normal. After all, it's all for survival. Who is better than who?
Su Yu took her eyes back, took the lead downstairs, and the several people behind quickly followed. No one asked Chen Xiaoxue, treating her as a person who didn't matter.
However, after Chen Xiaoxue was seen by the people on the 17th floor, before she could嘲讽, she saw that they didn't even look at her and went downstairs directly, as if she was dirty!
She hated it, and her resentful gaze stayed on Su Yu and Gu Meng in the middle, not leaving for a long time. At this time, Qian reached out and hugged her waist, looking at her with a lewd expression: "Although their faces are wrapped in scarfs, the two girls on the 17th floor are really clean and tender. College students, it's really a bargain for those four boys."
Qian is very accurate in looking at women. Even though Su Yu and Gu Meng are dressed tightly, he has seen them before and knows that they have good figures, especially Gu Meng, whom he has been salivating over. Unfortunately, someone is protecting her, so he can't move. Otherwise...
Chen Xiaoxue looked at him like that and knew what kind of yellow waste he was thinking. She cursed in her heart, but thought of a vicious idea. She came up to Qian and whispered, "Brother Qian, if you are interested in those two girls, I have a way to let you have a close encounter with them..."
When Qian heard this, he was excited and quickly pulled Chen Xiaoxue into the room. The two discussed for a while and were very satisfied. Chen Xiaoxue smiled viciously.
Why should she be a woman who has to submit to this disgusting man? Why should those two bitches be protected by excellent men? She must trample them under her feet and destroy them. Then those excellent boys will definitely dislike and abandon them!
Su Yu and Gu Meng, who were targeted by others, had no idea. It took them nearly 30 minutes to arrive at the back hill. Several people of Lin Yiran started to take out knives to cut down the already dead branches. Su Yu was reluctant to use the Tang knife to cut trees, so she brought an axe.
The axe was very sharp, and it took only two or three strokes to cut down the branch. As she was cutting, she heard Gu Meng's scream of surprise. "Look! What's this?!"
Several people hurried over and were stunned. Only to see that on a tree that had not frozen to death, there were densely packed white transparent things growing, which looked very similar to mushrooms, but they had never seen this type of mushroom before.
Su Yu slapped her thigh and remembered! There were also these white mushrooms in the book, which were called white fungi because they were pure white and transparent. They lived on the frosted trees, and the mycelium grew into the trunk.
Lin Yiran and the others knew about this when they went to the settlement, and it was recommended by someone. These fungi have slight toxicity and can be eaten only after being cooked. After eating, they can not only fill their stomachs, but also add heat to the body. Moreover, the growth cycle is very fast. Without damaging the mycelium, it can be picked once in about two days.
In the book, these white fungi saved countless lives during the extremely cold period. Su Yu walked over, gently picked a white fungus, and introduced it to everyone. After that, she added, "I know this from reading books."
Lin Yiran always believes in Su Yu's words, and immediately asked several people to find bags and pack some white fungi back. The white fungi can only grow on the live trees with frost. Fortunately, there are many trees in the back hill, and several people soon found several live trees and started picking.
Gu Meng was happily picking while saying, "If it's really like what Su Yu said, then everyone will have something to eat, and it can also keep warm. It's really amazing."
Bai Shang also suggested that they could tell others, but he has other concerns: "Now many people don't have food and are staring at us. With these white fungi, they should quiet down for a while."
Lin Yiran nodded, and the several of them worked for two hours, filling three bags and putting them on the kayaks. Then they cut some branches and filled two kayaks. After that, several people headed back.
On the way back, several people were also outside, looking as if they were from the adjacent apartment building. Gu Meng kindly told them about the white fungi in the back hill. The few of them looked doubtful, looking at the several bags in their kayaks, hesitated and headed to the back hill.
Su Yu didn't care and walked back quickly. Several people entered the apartment, and soon someone was jealous, asking what supplies they had found. Gu Meng patiently told them about the white fungi. Some people didn't believe it, thinking they were bluffing; some people were interested. After all, they couldn't not be interested. If it was really like what they said, it would be a good thing!
Su Yu and the others went upstairs. Whether those people went to pick or not was none of their business.
