Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 72 072 On the Road to Escape 3
Ye Fu marked the way he walked to avoid being trapped in the mountain when he went down the mountain. After walking for about forty minutes, Ye Fu had already entered the deep mountain.

Finding a grassy area to sit down, took out a bottle of water from the space and drank it twice, Ye Fu began to observe the surrounding environment.

Although a lot of trees died, the mountain forest was still dense, there were a lot of animal excrement on the ground, and a lot of grass and wild vegetables sprouted from the ground. After resting for more than ten minutes, Ye Fu took out his crossbow and prepared to continue into the mountain.

She remembered that when she was young, she read a news article. In addition to being an ecological botanical garden and animal sanctuary, Suiyun Mountain also had various mineral resources. A group of people were caught secretly digging silver mines in Suiyun Mountain, and they were all sentenced to death.

There is only one purpose for Ye Fu to enter the mountain, to find ore.

Although the chance of successfully finding it is very small, Ye Fu still wanted to try his luck and entered the hinterland. The road began to be difficult to walk. At this time, the grass in front of him shook twice, and Ye Fu quickly shot a crossbow. It was a gray rabbit. The rabbit was fat, but the fur was ruined.

After taking down the crossbow and putting the rabbit into the space, Ye Fu continued to walk forward.

"Ouch." Suddenly, something hit the back of the head, and Ye Fu looked back to find the culprit who hit her, and finally found a big brown squirrel on a pine tree, holding a pine nut shell in its paws Seeing Ye Fu looking at it, he immediately threw it over. Ye Fu tilted his head, and the pine nut shell fell into the grass.

"Zhizhi..." It got a little angry, quickly climbed up a bit, picked another pine cone, and continued to throw it at Ye Fu.

Ye Fu was not easy to mess with, picked up a handful of pebbles from the ground, and began to hurt each other with it.

Ten minutes later, it gave up, because it had already picked the few pine cones on the tree. Ye Fu blew a short whistle at it, and the squirrel's long, fluffy tail frantically shook twice, and suddenly jumped down from the tree. Slowly move to Ye Fu.

Ye Fu also squatted down, took out a pack of fragrant melon seeds from the space, grabbed a handful and brought it to it.

"Hey, little one, where are your parents?"

The squirrel shook its ears and tail, moved its nose slightly, and began to gnaw on the melon seeds.

Ye Fu stretched out his hand tentatively, and quickly stroked its tail, it was fluffy, and it felt really good.

The squirrel looked up at her, continued to eat melon seeds, and did not refuse Ye Fu's approach.

"Meeting is fate. As for me, I went into the mountains to find something. Would you like to be my guide?"

The squirrel ignored Ye Fu, she smiled and pinched its ear again.

"If you agree, just wag your tail, if you don't agree, stop eating my food."

The squirrel flicked its tail, and Ye Fu frowned, "All right, then I'll take you with me."

After the squirrels ate a handful of melon seeds, Ye Fu stood up, and it quickly jumped onto Ye Fu's shoulders, one person and one squirrel, and immediately headed deeper into the hinterland.

When they reached a mountain depression, the squirrel jumped down and smelled the ground, and began to chew the wild vegetables next to it. (Squirrels are omnivores and also eat plants.) Ye Fu walked over and saw that there was a layer of white crystals on the surface of the ground next to the wild vegetables. He rubbed a little of the crystals with his fingers and smelled it, but there was no smell. Ye Fu simply stuck out his tongue and licked it. , very salty, with a hint of bitterness.

Ye Fu's heart was beating very fast. She took out the hoe from the space and started digging at a half-slope. The soil was very soft. After digging about [-] centimeters, she couldn't dig anymore. Ye Fu shoveled off the soil on the surface. , took out a small flashlight, and large yellow-white stones came into view.

This is saltpeter. Saltpeter can be used not only to make ice, but also to make black powder. Ye Fu's eyes lit up, and the speed of his hands quickened, and he began to dig out the upper layer of soil.

A large chunk of raw saltpeter was exposed, and Ye Fu quickly put them back into the space. After collecting the saltpeter, there was only a huge pit left. Ye Fu turned around and found nothing else. To the shoulder, hold the bow and crossbow and continue to move forward.

"Squeak..."

The squirrel flicked its tail on Ye Fu's shoulder. Ye Fu raised his hand and squeezed its tail in his hand. It stretched out its head and smelled Ye Fu's clothes and hair. It might be smelly. Its expression not too good.

Ye Fu turned around a mountain, but found no sign of water, so she took out a bottle of water and gave the squirrel a little to drink.

"Little guy, do you know where this thing is? Gulu Gulu, can you take me to find it?"

The squirrel rolled its small dark eyes. It seemed to be digesting Ye Fu's words. After jumping off her shoulders, it quickly climbed up the big tree next to it, directly to the top of the tree, and then jumped to another tree. tree.

Seeing it jumping farther and farther, Ye Fu hurriedly chased after it, but still lost it.

It seemed that the little squirrel had left, and Ye Fu felt a little lost. She was sad for a while, gathered up her mood, and prepared to find water by herself, but at this moment, a pine cone was thrown on her forehead, and Ye Fu raised his head, He saw the squirrel baring its teeth at her sitting on a pine tree not far away.

"You didn't leave?" Ye Fu's tone was full of surprise, she picked up the pine cone on the ground and threw it at the little squirrel.

"I thought you were gone."

The little squirrel squeaked twice in the distance, and Ye Fu quickly ran under the tree to look at it, "Do you know where there is water?"

Squirrel tilted his head to look at her, Ye Fu patted his shoulder, "Let's go, take me there, treat you to something delicious."

She took out a bag of nuts from the space, poured it into the palm of her hand and handed it to the little squirrel. The little squirrel shrugged its nose and jumped down immediately.

Half an hour later, Ye Fu walked to a swamp. The puddle was small but deep, only the size of a vegetable field pool. The water was very clear and sweet. Ye Fu took out the empty bucket and water tank in the space.

There is a water pump, but the sound is very loud. Worried about causing trouble, Ye Fu can only take out a few water pipes to drain the water from the puddle into the water tank to fill it up. When she thought of something, she took out the shampoo and gave it a shot. She washed her head with a basin of water, but fortunately the shampoo she bought was fragrance-free, and her short hair was quickly dried by the wind. Ye Fu looked at the puddle and decided to tell Officer Song and the others to fetch some water after going down the mountain.

Swamps are the most likely to attract all kinds of animals. Ye Fu plans to hide and ambush. If she can kill muntjacs and elks, then she will make a lot of money this trip.

Although she told Qi Yuan that she would go back in two hours, but now it seems that there is no way to go back in two hours. According to the tacit understanding of getting along for so long, Officer Song will arrange everything properly, and Ye Fu hides in a bush of rushes , holding the squirrel in his arms, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

After washing her hair, she really felt much more comfortable. Fortunately, there were no lice or hair loss. Ye Fu took a black hat and put it on again, and then put on a scarf. The squirrel sniffed her hair and became more intimate with her.
