Chapter 28: To be alive is everything
"As long as you can eat it, you can eat it." A mist had formed in Bernie's eyes.
For them, as long as they have one more bite to eat, they have a little hope of survival. At such a time, who cares if the food is delicious or not, whether it will hurt the spleen and stomach. Being alive is everything.
"Hey! Don't cry. Zhong Xuyao suddenly became a little anxious. She is the person who can't see others crying.
Bout clenched his fists, his eyes full of weakness. And remorse. Last year, Bernie almost starved to death because he didn't keep it properly, causing it to go bad.
At this point, winter has become Bernie's nightmare, and she has changed from her original optimistic and cheerful personality to the negative appearance she is now.
Zhong Xuyao wiped away the tears from the corners of Bernie's eyes, "Don't cry, don't you still have me, I will find a way to help you think of something to eat." ”
"Hmm!" Bernie choked up.
"By the way, remember when we ate the Flatwater Beast yesterday?" Zhong Xuyao hurriedly diverted her attention, and seeing her nodding, Zhong Xuyao continued: "There will be a lot of that type of fish in the water, even in winter, you can easily catch them." ”
"But winter is the coldest time. The surface of the water will freeze. Bernie's eyes were red, Nono said.
"What is the ice, with the claws of an orc, it can be broken with a single claw. Those fish will stupidly burrow into the hole and wait for us to catch them. "Zhong Xuyao
"Really?" Bernie
"Of course. When did I lie to you. Zhong Xuyao winked at her.
Bernie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Xiaoxiao, in the future, I will do whatever you ask me to do." No two words. ”
"What are you saying these things for?" Zhong Xuyao smiled, "It's still early, let's dig up some spring bamboo shoots and go back." ”
"Hmm." Bernie nodded vigorously.
"I'll go and inform the patriarch and ask him to arrange for someone to dig it." Vernal handed the sapper shovel back to Zhong Xuyao, and said in a hurry.
"Wait." Zhong Xuyao hurriedly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Vernal
"It's true that dried bamboo shoots can be stored for so long, but the process also requires some tools. If you dig too much at once. There's no way to make it when you go back. "Zhong Xuyao
"I see, I'll call ten orcs here." Vernal
"Hmm." Zhong Xuyao thought for a while, and then said: "If the whole people take action, I think it is better to bring some bamboo back." All sizes, preferably with a dot. ”
"Okay, I got it." Vernal nodded, turned and rushed out of the bamboo forest.
"Xiaoxiao, are we going to keep digging?" Bernie's eyes were red, expectant.
"Since they orcs want to get it, I'll leave it to them." Zhong Xuyao smiled: "By the way, didn't you say anything about worm shells, where are they?" ”
"The shell is in the mountains behind it." Bernie pointed to the other end of the bamboo forest and said, "I originally wanted to take you there, but when you saw the bamboo, you couldn't walk, and I forgot." ”
"Let's take a look." Zhong Xuyao
"With your footsteps, it will take half an hour. Let's wait for Vernal to come back and go together. Bout hurriedly.
"Okay." Zhong Xuyao shrugged helplessly.
Zhong Xuyao sat down cross-legged casually, and an hour had passed since they arrived at the target place until now. After walking around for so long, she was a little tired.
Bernie also followed Zhong Xuyao's example. Sit lazily.
Soon, Barron and Vernal flew over, along with ten orcs.
"Tiny. Is what Vernal said true? Before he could stand still, Barron asked with some eagerness.
"Hmm." Seeing their nervous appearance, Zhong Xuyao didn't like to tease them, so he nodded quickly.
The eyes of everyone present flashed with joy, and with these foods, it is equivalent to giving them one more hope to live.
"Great. Brothers, we immediately dug up this land. An orc roared.
"Stop!" Zhong Xuyao hurriedly stopped: "Don't dig too much, otherwise it will affect the bamboo, and there will be no more next year." ”
"You have a point, let's refrain from it." Barron
"Also, the ones that have already emerged from the earth, or don't want them, those are already bamboo." Zhong Xuyao
"How do you find that?" An orc said blankly.
"Some of the ground will loosen, look for it. Anyway, if it were me, I would have to try my luck. Zhong Xuyao shrugged helplessly. She is also an amateur in digging bamboo shoots, and if it wasn't for the bamboo shoots piercing Bernie just now, she wouldn't have found out.
"Is the soil loose?" An orc stared at the ground, then walked quickly over to a bamboo and dug quickly.
In less than three seconds, a spring bamboo shoot tip appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"I'll go, sure enough." Zhong Xuyao exclaimed, she hadn't found a little bit after looking for a long time before, but as a result, as soon as these orcs came over, they could see it at a glance.
"It's still good for you to teach." Barron laughed.
"Uncle Barron, we're going to see the worm shells." Bernie
Barron frowned, "Bernie, who bullied you, why are your eyes red?" ”
Thanks to his words, the murderous gaze of the orcs present swept towards Bout.
"No one bullied me, I'm happy." Bernie showed a big smile.
Barron suddenly understood the point, and he smiled and patted Bernie on the head, "If you want to see the worm shell, go ahead." Can't get out of the orc's sight, though, you know? ”
"Hmm." Bernie nodded vigorously.
Barron whistled, and ten other orcs flew over from the rendezvous point, "Patriarch." ”
"Father." Ishi
"You follow Tiny and Bernie." Barron
"Uncle, it's enough to have Vernal and Ixiu to protect us." Zhong Xuyao felt that the other party was a little excited.
"Xiaoxiao, whatever you find in the process of playing, you can give it to them to bring back." Barron
Zhong Xuyao's gaze moved slightly, "Okay, I see." ”
Yi Xiu stepped forward and hugged Zhong Xuyao's thin waist: "Let's go." ”
Bout hugged Bernie and followed Ixiu, and the other orcs followed.
A group of people came to the place where Bernie said the worm shell was.
In fact, what even Bernie knew had long been commonplace for orcs. They know a lot more about this place, but they don't know much.
As soon as he arrived at the ground, Zhong Xuyao looked around curiously. It is clear that this place is no longer within the scope of the bamboo forest, and the types of plants have changed a lot. The only thing that doesn't become is probably the towering tree.
The tree is nearly 30 meters tall and 2 meters thick in diameter.
Underneath the tree, there are also some weeds, as well as unidentified plants.
Zhong Xuyao casually touched the seeds of a plant and threw them into the farm. She wasn't worried about the dangers of these plants, and with the vigilance of the orcs, she should have notified them as soon as there was any danger.
It's just that the sound from the farm still made her pause.
