Chapter 344 Conquering a wise woman to farm in Huangxing (3)
After Xu Yin picked up one, she quickly retreated to the outside and put it into the system warehouse while no one was paying attention.
While she was observing those people, a little boy who looked less than ten years old ran over panting.
“Brother, didn’t you grab it too? Oh, I’m so angry! I made a mistake in my prediction and my trip to Huankeng Mountain was in vain.”
Xu Yin looked at him: "Are you talking to me?"
The little boy looked at her strangely: "Who are you following if I don't follow you? Aren't you the only one here? Brother, are you new here? No wonder you just stand and don't grab it. You thought you would get it one by one, right? You think too much That’s a lot! If you don’t grab it, there won’t be anything.”
Xu Yin finally knew what was wrong: "You are so young, why are you here?"
Aren’t the people who come here all exiles who have been sentenced to the ultimate crime?
The little boy shrugged: "I came with my brother. We are the only two brothers left in my family. I have followed my brother in the Star Thieves since I was a child. He was unlucky enough to be caught. According to the rules of the Emperor's Star, if there are people in the family who need support, we can come together. , so I followed. At least there are free supplies here. If you run fast, you will starve to death, but it will be hard to say at home."
…”
Xu Yin finally followed the little boy to their residence.
On the way, I learned that his name was Kahn and his brother's name was Kaxiu. Both brothers' parents died when they were young, and they lived with their grandparents in Bianwuxing.
When he was three years old and his brother was sixteen, his grandparents fell ill and died one after another due to radiation infection and no money for treatment. In order to raise him, his brother joined the Star Thieves.
"Brother, what's your name? What crime did you commit? But I know even if you don't tell me. You must have been fighting with someone and accidentally killed the other person, right? Your face looks like it was injured in the fight. But it's not right, it's not like you missed it. To convict you of the ultimate crime, does it mean that the other party’s identity is unusual?”
Kahn guessed triumphantly, and finally said:
“Brother, you’re lucky you’re not a woman. Scars on a man’s face are a sign of strength, but scars on a woman’s face are disfigurement. It’s hard to find a partner if you have a disfigurement.”
…”
You are a little brat, why do you know so much?
“By the way, brother, you haven’t said your name yet.”
Xu Yin couldn't think of a name, so she simply picked up the pseudonym used by the vicious female supporting character in her previous life: "My name is Xu Yingxiong."
From now on, any woman who disguises herself as a man will be called by this name.
"Xu Yingxiong? This name is so strange! Are your ancestors from Blue Star?"
…”
"Kahn! You didn't grab the supplies either?" A young man four or five years older than Kahn caught up with him. "I heard that the drop point this time was very biased, and it was almost at the air route entrance."
"Yes." Kahn was frustrated when he mentioned the missed supply package. "My brother should scold me for being stupid again for listening to Lao Pi."
“Your brother is back?”
“Not yet, but it’s coming soon. We’ve been out long enough this time.”
Xu Yin asked curiously: "Where has your brother gone?"
"Oh, he went to fight the insect beasts with Uncle Simon." Kahn said, "Brother Hero, how are your skills? But you can defeat the opponent, so your skills must be good, right? Next time you go to fight the insect beasts with my brother and the others. , so you don’t have to worry about going hungry when the cold season comes. Although the insect meat is unpalatable, it can stave off hunger. When there is no nutrient solution, you don’t have to worry about going hungry when you eat this.”
Xu Yin asked what the insect beast looked like.
Kahn looked at her in surprise: "You don't even know about insect beasts? Which planet did you live on before? Is there anything with more corners than Bianwu?"
Fortunately, this boy didn't take it seriously and after he finished complaining, he described the appearance of an insect beast to her.
Xu Yin listened, and a familiar smell came out: Why does it look so like cattle and sheep? We talked all the way... Of course, the main thing was what the boy said. Xu Yin listened and finally came to the place where he and his brother lived.
The land here is very strange. When it doesn’t rain, it is as hard as cement. When it rains, the ground becomes wet and looks like normal soil.
The two Kahn brothers, like other exiles thrown here, dug holes and shaped shapes when the soil softened after the rain. When the sun came out (if the bright star in the sky was also called the sun), it hardened. It can be used as a cave dwelling in the future.
“However, you still need to put a layer of mangrove sap on the outside so that it won’t collapse when it rains.”
Xu Yin was thoughtful after hearing this.
Hum, this soil is very useful. When combined with mangrove pulp, it is comparable to natural cement.
However, she thought of a question and asked Kahn: "Isn't it possible to grow crops in this soil?"
"Naturally grown? I don't understand." Kahn scratched his head, "Only the Emperor Star can afford natural ingredients, right?"
“…Then what do you usually eat? Except insects and beasts.”
"Nutrient solution! There is ten days' worth of nutrient solution in the supply package. If you can't get it, you have to eat insect meat, or go to the mangroves to pick mangrove fruits. But that one tastes terrible. I only eat that if I'm really hungry. ." Kahn wrinkled his nose in disgust.
Xu Yin: “…”
There is no food, green vegetables and fruits on this planet?
She looked around and saw nothing but wasteland, and indeed there was no green in sight. According to Kahn, green vegetation can only be found in the Insect Beast Forest. The only vegetation in the surrounding area is the mangroves growing in the valley of Kenghuan Mountain.
Kenghuan Mountain is a large crater created by a meteorite tens of thousands of years ago.
At some point, a forest grew up at the bottom of the pit. From the trunk to the branches and leaves, it was all dark red like maple leaves.
The trunk of the tree with its bark peeled off will exude red sap, which can solidify when applied to the soil.
The fruit on the mangrove tree is very big. According to Kahn's description, it is as big as a watermelon. When broken open, the fruit is soft inside and tastes like chewing wax.
The mountains around the pit radiate out in all directions, almost entirely wasteland, leading all the way to the woods where insects and beasts live.
From what Kahn said, there are a lot of vegetation in the Insect Beast Forest, but many of them are poisonous. Therefore, going to fight insect beasts is risking your life.
“It’s because of the difficulty of survival that the Supervisory Office threw us here!” Kahn said with emotion and words that were mature beyond his years.
“Is the supervision office always monitoring us? Otherwise, how do they know how many material packages to put in each batch?” Xu Yin asked.
If someone really monitors everyone on the Exile Star all the time, then she should be careful in the future and try not to use the system warehouse.
Kahn gave her a "You're stupid" look: "Everyone who comes here has been implanted with a chip, isn't it? You have one too. The supply package is distributed based on the chip activity statistics."
Xu Yin: “…”
She really doesn’t have one.
Because the original body was not thrown here by the Judgment and Supervision Office, no chip was implanted.
So, she didn’t actually get a share of the supply package?
…”
Xu Yin has a guilty conscience.
Forget it this time, don’t join in the fun next time.
