Chapter 197
After Father Tong quit the group, the group returned to its original liveliness. Except for a few who went to sleep, the rest began to gag with great interest.
Ye Xu didn't care about them, and after closing the group, he opened the "group friends with sick group" and was concerned about the situation of the two silly boys who went to the haunted house. The two sent two emojis lying in the coffin one after the other, saying that they had passed away peacefully.
Ye Xu: "..." You are asking for it.
"Haunted house is fun, right?" Ye Xu also laughed at them unfriendly.
The two of them didn't have the energy to fight with Ye Xu at all, and they said that they would never come to the escape game again in this life, it was too scary.
Ye Xu didn't take their words to heart at all: "Don't eat the food?"
"...This is still something to eat." He changed his mouth instantly.
Ye Xu was simply too lazy to take care of these two people, so he sent a message to the housekeeper NPC of the city lord's mansion from a distance, asking him to bring some leaves from the time-space tree to the two of them. This leaf and tea have the same purpose, and it is very beneficial for people in the Temple of Time and Space to drink it.
The tree of time and space that they both raised was so skinny that they couldn't stay at home all year round, and they didn't know where to go. When the leaves were changed, they were basically not at home. The leaves all fell out and couldn't be picked up, so they could only rely on Ye Xu to help them.
Yu Miao was very dissatisfied with the fact that her leaves were given away, and scratched Ye Xu several times. Ye Xu held and coaxed him for a long time to appease the little ancestor, and then successfully bought it with a small snack, so that he didn't care about it.
Seeing how cute the kitten was, the elder sister of the village who was playing the net next to her quickly made a cat-like net with her skillful hands, and gave a kitten as something to sharpen her claws. Yu Miao pulled it in disgust, but she still accepted the toy for face.
This thing is cute, Ye Xu's eyes lit up, and he pestered the NPC eldest sister to teach him how to play it. The morning passed so happily, Ye Xu beat several kittens, although all of them were crooked, but there was obviously progress. A few more hits should be enough.
Ji Ling was not good at this, so he made a simple call with the eldest sister at first, and never touched this thing after that. When the director came to check on the task before lunch, the two passed the test.
The village's special fried rice noodles for lunch, the rice noodles made by farmers, without any glue. It is almost inflexible and very thin, not as white and fat as the rice noodles outside.
However, this rice noodle is fragrant when fried, but the chili in the village is too hot, so put a little bit, and it was so hot that several guests could drink water. But it was so delicious that several people snorted and ate two or three bowls. After eating, their mouths were red and slightly swollen.
Ji Ling was not very fond of spicy food, so he didn't touch much on the table. But unlike the players, she didn't dare to do anything superfluous, so she went directly to the back kitchen and asked the NPC to fry a lot of spicy food. It wasn't as spicy as it was eaten, but it didn't taste bad.
Ye Xu came over and tasted something that wasn't spicy, but it didn't feel as good as the one with chili peppers. So he concentrated on eating his own, and was not interested in her pot at all.
"Is everyone full?" Several directors in the director group also had red and swollen lips, looking silly.
Ye Xu took the soda and drank slowly, feeling a lot more comfortable in his mouth, and didn't listen carefully to what the director said. After a while, when the director finished speaking, and everyone started to pack up and prepare to leave, Ye Xu was stunned.
"What are you going to do?" Ye Xu put down the empty bottle.
Ji Ling told him: "Dig up bamboo shoots."
Ye Xu: "???" Are you kidding me, what's the season for digging bamboo shoots?
He can understand both winter and spring digging. But now in summer, bamboo shoots have long grown into bamboo, right?
"The director team said yes." Ji Ling, as a big boss who has been wandering in unconnected places all the year round, has no common sense about life in the countryside. She only felt that the director team said that there are some, and the problem should not be a big problem, so let's dig it.
Ye Xu was speechless.
Bamboo shoots are generally winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots. But Ye Xu didn't toss with spring bamboo shoots, he only followed his classmates to dig winter bamboo shoots. It was the time when went back to hometown with classmates to experience life. had nothing to do in the village during the winter vacation. My classmates and his uncle said that they would take them to dig winter bamboo shoots. They went there twice in total. Ye Xu also had some experience with this.
The four directors gave each of them a hoe. It was so heavy that it was difficult to swipe it. Digging bamboo shoots was a laborious task. The chief director led them towards the bamboo forest behind the village, saying, "Let's go dig winter bamboo shoots."
Ye Xu: "..." I'm afraid you're not a fool, look up and look around, it's summer!
Is it because the high sun has not given you enough care, or the flying mosquitoes have not given you 24-hour personal service? Hey, how can a good director be crazy?
Not only Ye Xu, but other guests also had brains and questioned the director.
The director rolled his eyes and didn't care: "I said there are winter bamboo shoots. The temperature in the bamboo forest at the back of the village is low, and winter bamboo shoots are growing right now!"
Okay, you are a permission dog and you are justified.
However, when the temperature was low, Ye Xu had a vague ominous premonition. He immediately pulled the corner of La Jiling's clothes: "I'm going to add clothes later."
Ji Ling was very calm: "I brought thick clothes."
Ye Xu also brought it, so don't worry.
As soon as he stepped into the bamboo forest boundary, something went wrong. The temperature dropped by 30 to 40 degrees in an instant, from the high temperature of close to 40 to below zero. Except for the director group who had not expected to cross the border, everyone else shivered instantly, and the whole person was not well.
They hurriedly stepped back and returned to the hot village boundary.
Ye Xu and Ji Ling didn't step back, but calmly took out a warm down jacket from the space props to wear. This is a prop that has been improved by prop boss Xiao Yige. Just wearing one can keep them warm. Unlike the usual southern winters, a down jacket can't save their dog's life from freezing to death.
The down jacket is okay to say, just put it on and pull a zipper to wear it. The key is how to wear warm pants. Wearing pants in front of girls is too unsightly.
Ye Xu looked at the director team: "Wait for me for half a minute."
Then, without giving them time to react, the whole person disappeared in place and became invisible. Half a minute later, the neatly dressed Ye Xu reappeared in front of everyone. Ji Ling followed suit and changed her clothes smoothly.
Everyone:"β¦β¦"
An open life is such a wave. The rest of the people either didn't have space props or had props but no clothes. Fortunately, the director team didn't plan to freeze them to death, just wanted them to be caught off guard. After freezing, the clothes were delivered.
Everyone quickly took their clothes and went to the house next door to borrow a room to change their clothes. When everyone changed, Ye Xu and the others had already dragged their hoes in to dig.
The director didn't mean to guide the crowd at all, just told them to follow the roots to find bamboo shoots. Where can find it, your roots are on the ground? Who knows where the roots are in Tibetan soil?
"Draw twice around the bamboo, try to dig as deep as possible, and you can usually see the roots. However, where the bamboo is dense, the roots may not be dense. If you are lucky enough to meet the dense roots, you may even find bamboo shoots nests." Ye Xu whispered to Ji Ling science.
Ji Ling humbly asked for advice: "Sunwowo?"
"That is to say, there are many bamboo shoots in this piece, just like the nests of bamboo shoots."
Ji Ling bent his lips: "Little Leaf."
"Ah?" Ye Xu looked back at her.
"You're so cute." Ji Ling chuckled, "Where's the bamboo shoots nest."
Ye Xu: "..."
You have something wrong! Is it so hard to admit he's a man! You have to make him so cute and cute, so that he starts to be cute and cute when he talks!
Ye Xu glared at Ji Ling fiercely, then buried her head in digging bamboo shoots and did not speak.
Ji Ling found it interesting, but did not provoke him again. After waiting for a while, thinking that Ye Xu should not be awkward, he continued to ask about the precautions for digging winter bamboo shoots.
From a distance, you can hear the delicate voice of the squeamish girl, which is higher in pitch than ordinary people, and it is easy to hear: "Mom, is this a root? But this one looks like a bamboo, it is arched in the soil, is it a long one? Crooked bamboo?"
Everyone leaned over to take a look, and it really looked like a master who was crooked. The emerald green "bamboo" arches in an arc, both ends are in the soil, only the middle part is exposed. And this "bamboo" also has bamboo joints, but it is a little denser, and the "bamboo" is also a little thinner.
The normal length of bamboo around is at least the thickness of an adult's fist, but this one is only two fingers wide.
"This is the root." The director gave a positive answer.
Everyone suddenly became motivated, all of which have found their roots, will winter bamboo shoots be far behind?
Ji Ling also glanced over curiously, and came back to describe it to Ye Xu. There was a hint of surprise in his tone: "The root of the master turned out to be like this, I thought it was similar to the root of a tree."
"That's a bamboo root." Ye Xu also nodded, "But green bamboo roots basically don't have any shoots."
"Huh? This is also divided into colors?" Ji Ling was stunned.
Ye Xu used a hoe to dug the piece he dug a couple more times, revealing a bright yellow object buried deep in the soil: "This is the yellow root, the yellow root is relatively new and takes a short time to grow, so it is easy to grow. Long bamboo shoots. Look at these 'bamboo knots' on the roots, the bamboo shoots are just like sugar cane coming out of the knots."
When the mature sugar cane is buried in the ground upside down, small sugar canes will grow on each sugar cane festival, which are the seeds of sugar cane. If you have seen sugar cane without peeling, you will know that it does have a small "knot" in the shape of a water drop on its nodes, which is this thing.
There are also such small "knots" on the bamboo roots, which will grow winter bamboo shoots.
Ji Ling squatted down and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw several "knots", basically one on each bamboo knot. And one of the "knots" has grown out of small bamboo shoots, about the size of the thumb joint.
Ye Xu took her to the side again, pushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground, and pointed to a black bamboo root: "This is an old bamboo root, it's already black, and it won't grow shoots. The green ones are also old, Itβs basically not that long, anyway, when I went digging with people, the uncle who was especially good at digging bamboo shoots didnβt even look at the green roots.β
"So that's the case." Ji Ling was thoughtful, she glanced at the crowd around the green root digging in full swing from a distance, and silently sympathized for three seconds.
The way the director team can trick people is really complicated and varied, and players have to go into the trap without any professional knowledge. Too immoral, deliberately deceive people to dig the roots of bamboo shoots.
