The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

"Generally speaking, spring is the best time to pick wild vegetables. They are just growing in the spring, are relatively tender, and have the best taste."

"In summer, some wild fruits will mature in the mountains. However, the quantity will be smaller."

"Autumn is our favorite season because there are the most wild fruits and wild animals in the mountains in autumn."

"Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain. This saying is absolutely true. The harvest from the mountains in autumn is enough for everyone to eat for a long time."

"After the snow in winter, usually only hunters come to the mountains. In winter, due to the reduction of food, the wild animals in the mountains also lack food and their temperaments become much more violent."

"If ordinary people encounter this, they will usually get hurt. So winter is also the season when the least people go up the mountain."

Xie Zirui was surprised, "It is indeed very particular."

"Ouch, it hurts," Xie Zirui cried out.

"What's wrong, Brother Zirui?"

"I was pricked by a thorn on a Sichuan pepper branch. It was painful and numb."

Yun Yiyi sighed, "Brother Zirui, you should take a rest. Picking peppercorns is similar to picking sour dates. Both are easy to get pricked by thorns."

"However, we should pick a little, just enough for our family to eat."

Xie Zirui shook his hands and said, "It's okay, I'll pick them slowly. If you pick them alone, it will be even slower."

Yun Yiyi stood under the prickly ash tree, carefully picking the prickly ash. The prickly ash on this prickly ash tree today was full of large clusters.

Even though she picked slowly, Yun Yiyi picked more than a pound of peppercorns in a short while.

Yun Yiyi felt her neck was numb from keeping her head up all the time.

She rubbed her neck with her hands, and suddenly she saw a clump of tall plants that looked familiar.

The leaves of that plant are big and green, and its stems are also very thick.

What kind of plant is it? Yun Yiyi thought, stroking her chin.

"Brother Zirui, you pick them first. I'll go to the front, where the green plant is."

"Okay, Yiyi, go ahead. But don't go too far."

"Got it, Brother Zirui."

Yun Yiyi held her small hoe and walked forward while thinking.

When she came under the plant, she found that it was much taller than herself.

Its leaves are thick and very green, a bit like lotus leaves.

However, Yun Yiyi was sure that this was not a lotus leaf.

Yes, this should be taro. Yun Yiyi remembered that taro, like sweet potato, grew in the soil.

You can also eat taro, it is soft and delicious.

It is rare to find taro in the mountains, and it grows so tall.

Yun Yiyi thought about it and decided that she had to cut the taro stalks and then dig the taro out of the soil.

If you want to do it, just do it. Yun Yiyi ran back and got her small sickle, then cut the taro stalks hard. Great, all the stalks were cut off.

She threw the pole aside, picked up her small hoe and swung it at the roots of the taro.

The soil in the mountains is a bit dry, but the land where the taro grows is not bad, it's all soil and no stones.

As long as you have a little more strength, you can dig very quickly.

After more than ten minutes, Yun Yiyi finally dug out the big piece of taro.

She gently shook off the dirt on the taro, and wow, this must be a taro nest.

Yun Yiyi picked the taro one by one and finally made a small pile. She estimated that it weighed about 6 or 7 kilograms, enough for the whole family to have a meal.

Yun Yiyi stood up and continued walking forward.

Soon, there was another big taro more than ten meters away from this taro.

Yun Yiyi used the same method to dig out the taro, and soon harvested another seven or eight kilograms of taro.

Yun Yiyi thought that the basket she carried up the mountain was not big, and after putting taro in it, it couldn’t hold anything else.

So she planned to pack the taro and go down the mountain.

"Brother Zirui, I just dug up two big taro plants over there. They weigh more than ten kilograms in total. Our baskets are not that big. Let's load the taro plants and go down the mountain, shall we?"

Xie Zirui stopped picking peppercorns and rubbed his eyes. "Okay, Yiyi. Everything looks like peppercorns to me now."

Yun Yiyi laughed loudly twice, "Brother Zirui, let's not pick the peppers anymore. Let big brother and the others pick them tomorrow. Besides, the pepper trees are tall, and the two of us can't reach the top."

Xie Zirui nodded, "I think I can do something else. Picking peppercorns is too difficult."

"Brother Zirui, pour the peppercorns you picked on the big leaves of the taro. Use your basket to hold the taro."

"Okay, Yiyi."

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui wrapped the peppercorns they picked with large taro leaves, and then tied them tightly with small rattan sticks. In this way, the peppercorns would not leak out.

Xie Zirui held a piece of hairy taro and said, "Yiyi, is this what taro looks like? How do you eat it?"

"Brother Zirui, taro can be boiled, roasted, or cooked into porridge. It tastes soft and I think you will like it."

"I just feel it's a bit weird. This taro has a layer of hair on the outside, it's so ugly."

"Hey, Brother Zirui, it doesn't matter if the taro is ugly, as long as it tastes good. I just checked and the two big taro plants yielded more than ten kilograms of taro, enough for us to have several meals."

"That makes sense. You know better than anyone else. You were able to spot the taro from such a distance. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to spot it even if it was right under my nose."

"Brother Zirui, by this time next year, you won't be saying that. The longer you stay in the mountains, the more plants you'll know."

"In the mountains, as long as you work hard, you won't starve to death."

"That makes sense."

The two people quickly packed the taro into two baskets, and the baskets were almost full.

Yun Yiyi also stuffed the taro leaves wrapped in peppercorns into one of the baskets.

She saw that the other basket had nothing to cover it, so she picked a large taro leaf and covered it with it.

"Yiyi, shall we go down the mountain now? The baskets are full."

Yun Yiyi stuffed the hoe and sickle into the basket and said, "Let's go, Brother Zirui, follow me closely and don't fall behind."

Xie Zirui carried the basket and carefully followed Yun Yiyi down the mountain.

In fact, Yun Yiyi could carry these taro by herself, but the basket was too small and she couldn't carry them even if she wanted to.

Yun Yiyi was not tall enough now, and she could not carry the basket if it was too big. So, when she went into the mountains, she either carried her own small basket or did not carry a basket at all.

The sun was still high in the sky, so Yun Yiyi and her partner didn't need to rush. They carried baskets on their backs and walked, stopping from time to time.

It took the two of them half an hour longer to reach the foot of the mountain than when they came here.

Yun Yiyi looked into the woods with the basket on her back. It was very noisy in the woods, as if a lot of people were talking.

"Brother Zirui, put the basket down. Let's rest for a while before we go. It's very noisy in the woods now."
