Chapter 764: Finding Food

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Next, she had to find six plants that could be used as food. Sharon felt that although this mission didn’t seem difficult, there was a time limit after all. She had to complete it in 48 hours, so she had to hurry.

When she was in university, Sharon had always worked especially hard to get a scholarship. Besides being busy, she liked to dabble in all kinds of books, including books that introduced herbs and Chinese medicine. In addition, she had seen the foreign version of Man vs. Wild. She had some theoretical knowledge, but she had never really come into contact with these plants.

“Let’s go,” Sharon said.

Currently, there were few edible plants near the tent, so Sharon and the others prepared to look elsewhere.

“There are so many plants. How do we know which ones are edible? Which ones are poisonous?” Melissa said.

In Melissa’s eyes, this was an impossible mission. All she could see were unknown plants. She had no idea which were edible and which were poisonous.

“Let’s look around. We might find something,” Shane said.

“Do any of you have a house in the countryside? When I was young, I grew up in the countryside with my grandparents. When I was young, my grandfather often brought me up the mountain. At that time, the village was poor. Every time I went up the mountain, I could find many plants as snacks,” Dan said.

“Then your childhood was quite interesting and fun, ” Melinda said with a smile.

“That’s true. When I was young, it was very interesting. At that time, I ran on the mountain for a day. I didn’t feel tired even after the sunset. I was still unwilling to go home for dinner.” Dan recalled his childhood days. This Man vs. Wild often reminded him of his childhood.

“Then let’s look around and see if there are any snacks you ate when you were young.” Sharon smiled.

Dan’s words gave Sharon confidence. Nature has given humans too many things. In this forest, there were unknown flowers, plants, and trees. Perhaps any plant had the miraculous effect of curing illnesses and saving people.

Sharon gently patted the trees and vines that passed by. She didn’t know until she carefully observed them, but after careful observation, she realized that the species diversity in this forest was extremely rich.

All kinds of flowers with unknown names decorated the green grass. The sunlight seeped through the gaps in the leaves and scattered among the flowers and plants. It was very beautiful.

“It’s so beautiful here.” Melinda squatted down to admire the purple and pink wildflowers on the ground.

Sharon also squatted down. After carefully observing it, she said, “This purple one is violet soil. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, violet soil has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying poison. All grass can be used as medicine.”

“Then we’ve found an edible plant,” Shane said excitedly.

“Strictly speaking, purple ground is a Chinese medicinal herb. Let’s continue searching,” Sharon said.

Sharon and the others walked aimlessly and searched. There was no result for the time being, and everyone was a little discouraged.

“Ah, look, there are small fruits on that tree,” Melinda suddenly shouted excitedly.

The tree was covered with tiny green fruits, like clusters of small cherries, except that the fruits were green.

Dan plucked a bunch of fruits and said, “I’ve never seen this before. Do any of you know this?”

“This is a small bitter fruit that can be eaten.” Sharon’s voice was filled with excitement.

“That’s great. We found the first plant,” Shane said.

It was already noon when they finally found a plant. Everyone was hungry.

Melissa plucked a bunch of green fruits and placed them in her palm. She asked, “Are we going to eat this for lunch? This doesn’t look appetizing.”

“We haven’t found any other food for the time being, so we can only make do with it. Unless you have another way,” Sharon replied.

Melissa stopped talking and secretly rolled her eyes at Sharon.

Sharon took a bite of the small bitter fruit the size of a bean. It tasted a little bitter, and there was sweetness in the bitterness. This wasn’t considered delicious, but since there was something to eat, she should be grateful for the gift of nature.

“It’s a little bitter.” Melinda frowned after taking a bite.

“This will taste better if it’s stir-fried, but we don’t have the conditions to do that now,” Sharon said. “We can pick more and skewer them. We can roast them and eat them.”

Dan and Shane started a fire while the girls were in charge of skewering the little bitter fruit with the thin branches they had picked up.

After the fruit was roasted, juice seeped out and the skin turned black. After everyone ate some, they extinguished the fire and prepared to continue searching for other plants..
