Chapter 102 Desolation
Unconsciously, the roof of the car was filled with firewood collected from the ground, and all kinds of food were put into Zhao's space.

Even if they failed to replenish supplies in Fuzhou as they wished and had money, they had nothing to do with it, but with the supplies collected along the way, it would be enough for their family to feed themselves for a long time.

For a time, the Su family's life returned to what it was before they joined the desertion team, regular and boring.

Although boring, boring also means safety and calm.

Su Bujing thought that it would be pretty good if he could continue to be boring like this, at least there would be no danger.
-
On this day, after the Su family was tired from traveling, they found a place with their backs against boulders, ready to rest before continuing.

This boulder was large and smooth, which could block the wind and the carriage. It was very suitable for stationing and repairing, so Su Yuanshan parked the carriage there.

After the carriage stopped, Su Buyi was the first to jump out of the car, helping Su Buyi outside the car to collect firewood from the roof, and raised a high fire next to the carriage.

At the same time, they also carefully piled the remaining wet firewood on the roof of the car next to the fire to dry it for easy use next time.

Su Yuanshan carefully organized the map, placed it close to his chest, and then went with Zhao to look for food near the garrison.

With the rules of finding supplies taught by the refugees in the fleeing team, as well as the markings on the map, the Su family now has a new understanding of supplies under the eternal night.

And these valuable experiences are learned from others.

Therefore, it is not without benefits to go with the escape team.

Su Bujing saw that everyone in the family had found something to do. Not to be outdone, she caught the horse and trimmed its long hair.

Strangely enough, this horse's hair doesn't know how to grow. It has to be trimmed after four or five rests, otherwise its hair will cover its eyes and affect its walking.

Su Bujing carefully cut off the hair that was too long, and then took it all into the Immortal Mansion.

Now that the pile of hair in the Immortal Mansion was as high as one person, Su Bujing was going to ask Mrs. Zhao to give her some needlework and cloth. She would find time to learn how to make a blanket, and then stuff the hair into it.

After collecting the fur, Su Bujing took another pill and gave it to the horse.

Seeing the horse's energetic neighing, Su Bujing touched the horse's head with satisfaction.

Then, Su Bujing went around to the back of the carriage, bit off his index finger, and followed the memory of the formation in his previous life to draw a reinforcement formation with blood.

After the formation was completed, a white-gold light glowed slightly, then dimmed, and the formation slowly seeped into the carriage and disappeared.

Later, Su Bujing and Su Buyou in the car carefully checked the car and found that no bugs had entered.

Su Bujing sighed: It seems that piece of jade is quite useful, much more useful than realgar powder and the like!

Su Bujing and Su Buyou got out of the car and helped Su Buwei light the fire, leaving Su Buwei free to boil water for cooking.

During this period, Su Buwei basically cooked all the meals the family ate, and his craftsmanship improved a lot as a result.

Moreover, Su is not only very interested in strange and weird ingredients, he will study how to cook delicious dishes whenever he has free time. Every novel ingredient will make his eyes shine.

This time too.

Su Buwei skillfully picked up the small pot in the carriage and placed it on the fire. Then he knocked a piece of ice from the roof of the carriage and stuffed it into the pot.

After the ice slowly melted and boiled, Su Buwei used his sword to skewer ten green mud-shaped fruits, and asked Su Buyi to help him pour hot water on the fruits.

Su Buyi did as she was told. The moment hot water was poured on the fruit, the originally green fruit turned greener and even glowed faintly.

"Okay, okay! Brother, the fruit is ripe and ready to eat!" Su Buwei said happily.

Su Bujing, who was watching on the sidelines, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this.Although he had seen it many times, Su Bujing would still be speechless and choked up every time he saw this shiny green sticky fruit.

It looks really disgusting!
But who would have thought that eating such an ugly fruit can not only keep you warm, but can also protect your eyes!

Now it has become a must-eat dish in their family.

Su Buwei held up a sword that looked like candied haws on a stick and took the lead in taking off the two top ones and handed them to Su Bujing, "Sister, you eat first, it will make your eyes feel better!"

Su Bujing felt disgusted in his heart. His hand movements were not pretentious, so he took it with both hands and started to chew on it.

Although the fruit looks as soft as mud, it tastes very hard and tests one's teeth. Those with weak teeth cannot bite it at all.

Just as Su Bujing was gnawing loudly, Su Buwei picked four more fruits and placed them properly beside the fire.

This was reserved for Su Yuanshan and Zhao who were out looking for supplies, two per person.

"Brother, you really don't want to eat?" Su Buwei looked at Su Buyi and asked.

"I really don't need it, just give my share to my sister and younger brother." Su Buyi looked at Green Guozi with rejection in her eyes.

Su Bujing thought as he gnawed: My eldest brother must have thought this thing didn't look good, so he didn't eat it.

In the end, Su Bujing gave up the share that Su Buyi gave her to Su Buwei. Su Buyou and Su Buwei ate the fruit with frowning eyes as if drinking medicine for their own eyes.

After eating, Su Yuanshan and Zhao, who had gone out to look for supplies, also came back, but there was nothing in their hands.

How is this going?

Su Bujing and others stepped forward in confusion, "Dad, Aniang, why did you come back empty-handed this time? Are you a refugee who was robbed?"

Su Yuanshan shook his head bitterly and sighed, "It would be better if we were robbed! We walked all the way and didn't find anything edible at all."

"Not to mention food, even the dead branches that could be seen everywhere before were not found!"

Zhao's eyes darkened slightly, and she continued: "Moreover, we also discovered a frozen river earlier. We thought we could finally replenish our water source, but when we got closer, we realized that the glacier had actually been dug to the bottom. There’s not even a single piece of ice to be seen!”

When Su Bujing and others heard this, they were so shocked that they almost exclaimed.

Water, food, and fire branches were all missing!
"Then this fire..." Su Buyou had been sitting in the car, so he thought the fire was lit by branches picked from outside.

Su Buwei rolled his eyes and explained helplessly: "Of course we used the stock of our car roof."

Su Buyou: ...Oh.

Su Bujing touched Su Buyou's forehead casually, stared at the blazing flames without blinking, thought for a while and said:

"This should be a normal situation. You think, like Fuzhou now... you have also seen it. If there are surviving people in Fuzhou, they will never be able to settle next to the Tiandong. They will definitely escape!"

"There are also some people who went south to Baozhou before us... Wasn't this map drawn by those people? They had so many people to eat and drink along the way, so it was natural that the surrounding food would be eaten up."

Su Buyi smiled and answered: "Our family follows the path that others have taken, so naturally we can only pick up and use other people's leftovers."

"But this is also good news, proving that we didn't go the wrong way this time!"
