Chapter 27 Chapter 27
After going through untold hardships and walking 13,737 steps, Mi Li finally returned to his cave.
As if he couldn't wait, he first took out the hay, rolled it into a ball, and carefully lit it with a lighter. Then he placed the dead branches on the burning hay, and finally, when the fire was more intense, he placed the thicker dead wood on top.
Fortunately, I developed the good virtue of thriftiness. After coming out of the last life, I put all the things that others didn't want into the space, and the lighter was one of the treasures.
If there were no lighter, Mi Li, with her tiny body, would not even be able to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Although she didn't remember how strong she was when she was four or five years old, this body didn't have much strength. If she hadn't been reborn, this little body would have turned into a mummy in the desert by now!
Hey! My life is hard too! Mi Li thought to herself.
"Cuckoo~"
My stomach protested again.
Mi Li let go of the emotion that had just risen up in her mind, and the growling of her stomach reminded her that she was now considered a wealthy woman in this desolate forest.
Now she not only has water and food, but also fruit. Compared to the small bottle of mineral water she had when she first arrived, there is really no harm without comparison. Mi Li actually felt a strange sense of pride in her heart.
The burning fire illuminated the entire cave, and the slightly damp feeling became warm under the heat of the fire.
The hole covered with vines was easily fixed by Mi Li after entering, and only a slight breeze blew in.
Put out all the firewood, and then put all your food back into the space. After all, you can't put everything into your stomach all at once, so it is safest to put it back into the space.
Place a small piece of dried meat, a cactus fruit, a few sea buckthorn fruits, a few sand dates, and the remaining one-third of a bottle of eight-treasure porridge on the ground.
Some hay was even laid down ceremoniously.
Candlelight dinner, although there is no candlelight, the firelight is still pretty good.
There wasn't much jerky to begin with, and only a third of the original 500-gram bag was left.
When Mi Li took the jerky out of the space, he wanted to save it. When he really couldn't survive, he would eat the jerky as his last meal, so Mi Li subconsciously didn't want to touch the jerky.
But now it's different. Not only did we find sea buckthorn fruit, cactus fruit, sand date, persimmon, but we also found a cave. It's unusual to be wandering in the desert and being careful and conscientious. This time there are mountains, water and wild fruits, and I finally feel a little safer.
Mi Li counted the things. With her small body, she would recover in no time.
To celebrate finding the cave after leaving the desert, they decided to eat a piece of jerky.
I picked up the dried meat first and smelled it carefully. It was still the familiar taste and the familiar recipe. The aroma of spices mixed with beef was overwhelming. This was what Mi Li found in a large supermarket.
I no longer think about the hard days in the past.
I put the jerky into my mouth and chewed it carefully. Under the stimulation of the spices, my taste buds kept secreting saliva. The jerky rolled between my tongue and teeth. Finally, I couldn't help but eat it, which temporarily relieved the constant protests from my stomach.
He scooped up the eight-treasure porridge again, one mouthful after another. The sweet taste overwhelmed the aroma of the dried meat, and it went into his stomach in a few mouthfuls. The bottle of eight-treasure porridge was carefully placed aside.
After finishing the small main course to fill the stomach, the feast of wild fruits began.
In just a short while, his belly was full from eating.
I have never eaten so much in the past few days.
No, I should say that I have never eaten so full in my life.
The bulging belly seems to have regained its former glory, announcing that the good days are coming again.
After the "candlelight dinner", Mi Li was not idle either.
If you’re too full after eating, it’s time to do some post-meal exercise!
Not much to do, just move the hay piled far away from the fire to a nearby, sheltered corner. Mi Li observed carefully and found that the location was facing north and south and was sheltered from wind and rain, so it was definitely a good location.
Pile up the hay and you’ll have a place to sleep!
The forest was a little cold at night. Mi Li had not noticed it before because she was hurrying on the road. Now that she had some free time and passed by the cave entrance, the cold wind blew inadvertently, making Mi Li shiver.
The fire made Mi Li's little face look even more rosy. She had been so active all day that when she came to her senses she realized that her whole body was sore.
I had been following the little beast for a few days and had just been sitting there without doing much activity, but today I had been working all day, so the feeling was naturally different.
Oh! She has to shoulder the burden of life at such a young age! It's really not easy.
The constant soreness and swelling in the body stimulated Mi Li so much that he lost all desire to sleep.
Thinking about it, the reason why I came back so late today was because I didn’t pay attention to the time!
Speaking of time, Mi Li slowly shifted her gaze to the children's watch on her hand.
