Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Chapter 375 Transportation Tools

Mu Xi saw her looking like she was about to shed tears. He wanted to hug her but because her body was too dirty and her hands were dirty, she could only move her mouth and said hurriedly:

"Don't cry. I'm either fine or smelly. I just need to go back and take a shower. Really."

Zhao Yeqing didn't need to think about it to know that Mu Xi was probably feeling very uncomfortable. He turned around and walked to the car, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. "Get in the car quickly. I'll drive. You need to rest for a while."

Mu Xi didn't refuse. After opening the back seat and letting the dogs get in, he sat in the passenger seat.

Zhao Yeqing signaled Xiaohong to follow the car home, and he stepped on the accelerator and returned home in less than half an hour.

When it was confirmed that Mu Xi was coming back in the morning, Zhao Yeqing rushed back and prepared hot water in the kitchen in advance and simmered the chicken soup for the evening.

Mu Xi was indeed extremely tired. Apart from the hard work of exploring the road and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants he encountered, the most unbearable thing was the inability to sleep soundly at night.

In that kind of place, sleeping every night is tense, and if you accidentally fall asleep, you will wake up suddenly.

As soon as he finished taking a shower, Zhao Yeqing took him to the kitchen to eat.

"You eat first. I made some chicken soup. I'll start with a simple chicken noodle soup. Noodles are easy to digest, and the chicken soup is lighter because of the oil. You haven't been eating well recently, so you need to take good care of yourself first."

After eating, Zhao Yeqing rushed him back to his room to sleep.

The dogs didn't have such troubles. Zhao Yeqing poured water to clean them. Each dog was rewarded with two big stick bones and their favorite biscuits. After eating, they still had energy to play in the yard. .

Mu Xi slept from about six o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock the next morning. He didn't know whether it was because he slept for a long time or because the tight strings suddenly loosened. When he woke up, he felt groggy.

Before he could get up, he saw Zhao Yeqing going upstairs with the prepared medicine. Seeing that he was awake, he quickly stopped him from getting up:

"Don't get up. Drink the medicine first and then take a rest. I touched your head this morning and it seemed you had a fever. After you drink the medicine, take your temperature."

After living together for such a long time, and the weather is usually quite bad, it is inevitable that the two of them will catch colds and fevers. Mu Xi copied this prescription in a notebook, and Zhao Yeqing became familiar with it after surviving it twice.

A handful of rice is added to the soup. It does not mean that you should eat cooked rice, but the rice soup made by adding rice can not only help relieve the symptoms and dispel cold, but also make the medicine more mild and not harmful to the stomach.

Mu Xi drank the medicine in one breath, and Zhao Yeqing took the bowl and said, "You lie down for a while, and I will bring you breakfast. Do you want noodles or porridge?"

"Drink porridge."

Zhao Yeqing went downstairs with the bowl, but came back within three minutes with a bowl of warm pumpkin sweet porridge and a pot of water.

"I'm afraid you may lose your appetite. The porridge cooked according to your taste is sweet, but your body cannot help but add salt. The water in the pot is light salt water. Drinking more can reduce your fever faster."

......

Maybe it was because my body was really hurt these past few days, so the fever lasted for three days before it subsided.

By the time Mu Xi fully recovered, the preserved eggs that Zhao Yeqing had made were marinated.

"The weather is stuffy today, and nothing tastes so delicious. I'm going to cut two preserved eggs and mix them with cold salad, and mix them with a cucumber, which will be refreshing and appetizing."

Mu Xi nodded and had no objection. His soup had been watery these days, but after he recovered, his appetite was better than the previous few days.

Only now did Mu Xi have time to talk about what he had encountered in the woods a few days ago, and also draw a rough map of the route in his mind.

After encountering a swamp and successfully climbing out, he walked along the edge of the swamp and found that the entire swamp was very wide, extending all the way to the south.

"There are traces of animals on the edge. The most threatening animal found so far is probably the wolf."

Zhao Yeqing's eyebrows jumped when he heard the word wolf, "Have you met it?"

"No, I just saw footprints, but it's not like the previous wolf pack. It's not that big. The footprints are smaller, and there's only one."

"A lone wolf?"

Mu Xi shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, I haven't encountered them since. Apart from that, the more special ones are probably insects. I saw a centipede two fingers wide."

"So big?!" Zhao Yeqing was shocked, "Why don't we arrest him and make medicine?"

"I ran too fast and didn't catch it." Mu Xi couldn't help but smile: "You and I thought of it together... By the way, there is another thing that you must be interested in. I will dig it up for you next time. you."

"what?"

He blinked in a good mood, "I found wild lotus flowers on the swamp water."

Zhao Yeqing's hand paused while picking up the vegetables, "Are you sure it's a lotus flower and not a lotus flower?"

"I'm sure, the temperature around here is now stable all year round. The lotus on the water is in full bloom and the leaves are different. I can still recognize it."

Let me see who else can't tell the difference between a lotus flower and a lotus flower

Lotus flowers can only be used for viewing. If you want to eat sweet lotus seeds and crispy lotus roots, you have to be a lotus flower.

"I'll dig some up and plant them when I come back next time." Zhao Yeqing picked up a piece of preserved egg and put it in his mouth, but he was already planning the lotus pond at the door.

"Are you going to go by yourself?" Mu Xi then remembered that before he went out last time, Zhao Yeqing also said that it would be her next time. At first, he didn't think much about it and was just anxious to go out.

No one knows better than him how hard it is after this trip.

Zhao Yeqing knew that he wanted to persuade him, so he picked up the pen on the table and marked on the map Mu Xi had just drawn.

"Look at the route map. The end of the flagstone path we cleared before is here...it's nearly two kilometers in total. According to what you said, the road conditions are basically gentle mountain roads, and the grass on the road has also been cleared. Until we encounter The swamp is cut and bypassed..."

Zhao Yeqing's pen drew a circle in the swamp, "The road up to this point was not rugged or steep. You said it was like walking on a meadow. After bypassing the swamp, a slightly rugged mountain road appeared. I have An idea…”

Mu Xi looked up and saw Zhao Yeqing's expression, as if you were going to ask me something soon, he smiled very sensibly and cooperated, "What do you think?"

"I plan to go to the tourist area to move the little electric donkey back. Cars can't go in the forest, but the little electric donkey can do it. I'll wait until I get near the swamp and then abandon the car and walk. When I come back, I can also ride a bicycle back. It's faster to go back and forth. too much."

In fact, at first she thought about riding Xiaohong in, as her obstacle-crossing ability would definitely be better than that of the electric donkey. But then she thought about it, if she dismounted after arriving at the swamp, Xiaohong would not be able to stay in such a dangerous forest by herself, or would she? eDonkey is more reliable.

Mu Xi fell silent after hearing this. It was really feasible.

With a means of transportation, it would only take less than two hours to walk from the swamp to the location where he finally stopped.

The time of more than two hours is calculated based on the speed of his walking back. Going back up the mountain is slower, and walking forward is going down the mountain. The speed can be shortened to less than two hours.

Adding in the 20 minutes of running time on an electric car, the round trip only takes more than four hours!
