Chapter 850 Daryl Dixon (4)
"This is called pento, and it needs to be boiled in water before it can be eaten."
"Wild leeks..."
"Dandelion...purslane...wild mint..."
Sophia did what she said. She looked around as she walked and pointed out things she recognized to Daryl.
She plucked some wild mint leaves and put them in her pocket. Then, seeing several other types of leaves that could be used for brushing teeth, she picked some of each and gave some to Daryl.
"Sister Xiaoci said that you need to chew these leaves at least three times a day to keep your teeth clean."
Daryl didn't say much the whole time, and only when Sofia stared at him did he say "hmm" as a response.
The closer we got to where Yunci camped, the more new cemeteries we saw in the woods.
Daryl looked at the grave that was obviously made by one person, thinking deeply.
【How about it? 】
Yun Ci shook her head.
I don’t know if it’s because of the setting of this world, but Yun Ci still couldn’t extract anything virus-related from these zombies.
Yun Ci rolled up the dead zombie in a straw mat and dragged it into a deep pit that had been prepared in advance.
As she was burying it, Sophia's call came from not far away.
"elder sister!"
Yun Ci had already heard their approaching footsteps. She did not show any surprise when she heard the call. Instead, she stretched out her hand to stop Sophia from rushing towards her.
"I'm very dirty, don't come near me."
Sophia obediently stopped and squatted aside, telling Yunci what wild vegetables she had found near the camp, how delicious they were after her mother cooked them into food, and how much everyone liked them.
"I see. It looks like you are almost ready to start your apprenticeship, Sophia."
Sophia was very happy to hear such praise.
She chuckled and shook her head, then she remembered that she didn't come here alone today.
Sophia quickly introduced Daryl to Yunci.
Daryl stood far away, leaning against a tree, watching the situation here.
Yun Ci and Daryl looked at each other, nodded slightly, and showed their friendliness with a smile.
Daryl didn't respond, instead looking away and continuing to pull the leaves of the poor wild mint at his feet.
Yun Ci didn't care. After burying the body, she picked up the shovel and called Sophia and Daryl to go to her camp.
Daryl was still following behind, but at a safe distance.
If Yun Ci had any bad intentions, he would rush to Sophia's side at the first moment.
The campfire was burning, with a sizzling deer leg hanging above it.
Daryl finally found the source of the fragrance in the forest.
"Sophia, you came just in time. I just hunted a deer today." Yun Ci took out a clean dagger from her bag and cut the deer's leg. "The heat is just right. Come quickly."
As she said that, Yun Ci looked at Daryl behind her and said, "Mr. Daryl, come along too."
Daryl declined politely. No matter how Yun Ci or Sophia persuaded him, he didn't get close.
Yun Ci didn't force it and started eating with Sophia.
The deer was quite fat, and Yunci and Sophia didn’t even finish half of it.
The rest were sliced into pieces by Yunci, wrapped in large clean leaves, tied tightly with long grass leaves as ropes, and handed two packages to Sophia.
"Next, I'm going to go to the woods over there." Yun Ci pointed in the direction of the farm, "Next time you want to find me, go over there."
Sophia looked at it in confusion: "Why do we need to change places?"
"There are quite a lot of cemeteries around here..."
Although they were all buried by her, Yun Ci still felt psychologically inappropriate resting surrounded by cemeteries.
Sophia nodded.
"This way, I can save myself a lot of walking next time I come to see my sister!"
She said happily.
Daryl had no chance to stop it.
Yun Ci noticed Daryl's alert attitude and said softly, "I know there is a family living over there. You should be staying at Mr. Herschel's house."
"Sister knows Mr. Herschel?"
"Well, I even went to his house to borrow the kitchen." Yun Ci rubbed Sophia's head and said with a smile, "It seems that I can go back with you today."
She pointed to the deer placed on the leaves. "It's time to borrow Mr. Herschel's kitchen again."
"Really? That's great! Mom wants to see my sister, too." Sophia said, "She's worried that my sister might get into danger out there alone."
"That's it..."
Yunci and Sophia were chatting while packing their things.
She untied the hammock, stuffed it into her backpack, put away the rest of the things that needed to be packed, and then went to rummage through the pile of green leaves beside her.
One moment he took out a net bag of fruit, the next moment he took out a bag of flour, the next moment he took out a bag of canned food...
There were too many things, and with the deer included, Yun Ci couldn't carry them all by herself.
So she looked at Daryl.
Daryl: “…”
Daryl hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, picked up the deer, and grabbed a bag of heavier cans.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Daryl. If you don't mind, please feel free to taste my cooking tonight." Yun Ci smiled, "I will make it under your watchful eyes."
This way you don't have to worry about her putting anything bad in it.
Sophia also helped carry a bag of lighter items.
The three of them shuttled through the woods and could faintly hear Yun Ci's voice echoing.
"It seems I have to find a bigger backpack later..."
farm.
In the originally empty yard, there were a few cars parked that Yunci was familiar with.
There are many tents set up nearby and many clothes hung out to dry, which gives it a very lively feel.
Dale, who was standing in the RV, had already noticed the approach of the three of them and had called Rick over. Standing next to them were Sean, who had a shaved head, and Carol and others.
They obviously thought that Yun Ci was looking for them.
But Yun Ci just smiled and nodded at them, then walked towards the house in a familiar manner.
"Mr. Herschel, I'm bothering you again."
Maggie heard the noise, pushed the door open, and came out, exchanging a hug with Yun Ci.
"Long time no see, Xiaoci, it's great to see you show up safe and sound."
"Long time no see, Maggie. Don't worry, I'm fine." Yun Ci pointed at the deer on Daryl's shoulder, "Look, I'm fine enough to come to you again to improve my life."
As she spoke, Yun Ci took out the packaged roasted venison and put it in Maggie's hand.
"As usual, please lend me the bathroom and kitchen. Let me prepare dinner for today."
Maggie didn't bother to be polite with Yun Ci, and took her into the house while saying:
"We have long missed your cooking skills, but it is still a long time before evening, you can enjoy the comfort of a hot bath..."
