The sun is getting higher and the air is getting hotter.

The land is hot from being baked by the sun, and the taste of walking barefoot on it is not very wonderful, Ye Xi thought to himself, he must make shoes when he has the opportunity.

Ye Xi didn't take anything on his body except for a handful of bones, and the wild boar meat was carried on the back of the cone and the cang, which is not to say that they were considerate of him when they were young, how could the people who were supposed to kill him and eat meat be considerate of the food.

mainly disliked Ye Xi's small arms and legs as thin as firewood sticks, and he was afraid that he would carry heavy objects and slow down the trip. Besides, for the cone and the warehouse, this weight is basically negligible.

It's too hot.

The sun is almost going to roast the earth to death.

Along the way, many of the trees were dying from the sun, the leaves were yellow and burnt, and there were even many dead animals that had rotted away from the water - but these carcasses and barns were not to be seen.

Ye Xi said in his heart, these primitive people even ate human flesh but did not eat rotting animal corpses, it seems that they already knew that rotting animal corpses would get sick if they ate them.

Ye Xi wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead from time to time, drank the blood of wild boars to replenish his water, and his body gradually became sweaty.

Cone: "How far is it?"

It is now about four miles beyond the tribe's range, and if you go further afield, the danger of picking will increase, almost as dangerous as hunting, which is very uneconomical for the tribe.

Ye Xi looked around and thought about it, "It's just ahead." ”

The cone stopped talking, since Ye Xi taught them the method of packing the baggage, Ye Xi felt that there was a subtle difference in the attitude of the two towards him. If it had been before, he might have scolded him a long time ago.

After a dense clump of ferns, Ye Xi: "Wait. ”

The two stopped and turned to look at him.

Ye Xi bent down and brushed aside the tall fern, only to see inconspicuous green heart-shaped leaves growing on the ground.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, and he squatted down and took the bone rak and began to dig the soil.

The cone and the warehouse looked at each other, and the edible plant he was talking about was this? Among the plants known to the tribesmen to use, they were either fruits from trees or seeds, and they had never heard of being dug out of the ground.

Was he playing tricks on them?

The people of the Tushan tribe have all been fooled by this captive boy!

Ye Xi didn't notice anything, squatting and digging the soil happily, he had never been so grateful that he had lived in the countryside for a period of time when he was a child, which gave him some understanding of some common crops. This body had seen this thing in his original memory, how did Ye Xi think and think that this thing was a common sweet potato in the countryside!

The sweet potato stems were buried deeply, Ye Xi saw that he was almost digging, grabbed the sweet potato leaves, and pulled them out!

Sit deep and squat, but at the same time bring out a long string of red, fat sweet potato rhizomes!

Great! Sweet potato!

The anger of the warehouse and the cone froze, and he was stunned when he looked at the string of things, how could such a long string of things be dug out of the ground.

Cone looked at the bright red skin of the sweet potato and asked hesitantly, "...... Can this be eaten?"

Ye Xi dug out the sweet potatoes and the corners of his mouth were crooked, he was in a good mood, this large bunch of sweet potatoes, if he ate it alone, it would definitely be enough to eat all day, this thing is starch, and the ability to resist hunger is very good.

He was starting to get hungry, you know, he hadn't eaten anything yesterday, and he had eaten a fruit this morning.

Ye Xi glanced at the cone.

The cone inexplicably saw the contempt in it.

In the next second, I saw Ye Xi break off a piece from a large bunch of sweet potatoes, and said lightly, "Look at it." ”

The skin of the sweet potato is quite smooth, and it is not much more important at this time, Ye Xi wiped it with his hands, and the dry soil was rubbed off, revealing a beautiful red skin.

Ye Xi opened his mouth wide and took a bite directly at the sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes are usually eaten cooked, but they can be eaten raw, they are not poisonous, but the taste is not as sweet as when heated at high temperatures, and they are not easy to digest.

The sweet potato was missing, revealing a milky white core, and white translucent juice spilled out of the gap.

Ye Xi chewed the sweet potato with satisfaction, the sweet and crisp feeling filled his mouth, I don't know if the ancient sweet potato grew particularly well, and the sweetness of this raw food was not lower than that of cooked.

Cone and Kurapan swallowed as they looked at him contented. Is it really that delicious?

It seems like...... Nice looks?

Looking at Ye Xi's crisp bites one bite after another, Cone Xian couldn't help it: "Give me one too!" Since this kid grew up eating this thing before, it shouldn't be poisonous.

Ye Xi broke off a sweet potato and threw it to him.

The cone casually wiped the dirt twice, and then gnawed down.

The refreshing sweet and crisp taste conquered him in the next second, and the cone narrowed his eyes, "Cangpan, it's actually not bad, sweet, it's delicious." ”

Cangpan hesitated for a moment, and said to Ye Xi: "Give me one too." ”

......

The three of them eventually ate a whole bunch of sweet potatoes.

Ye Xi licked the corners of his mouth, touched his belly, and was full.

Cone said happily: "This thing is not bad, and one plant is a bunch of big bunches, let's dig more and bring it back to the tribe." ”

The warehouse nodded.

Beneath this fern, there are many plants with these heart-shaped leaves, and needless to say, there are fat sweet potatoes underneath.

Among the three, only Ye Xi has a bone that can be used as a digging tool, and the others have a spear and a stone knife, which are not suitable for digging, so the two of them simply dig the soil with their bare hands, and they don't pay attention to anything.

Ye Xi caught a glimpse of the darkness between their fingernails, twitched the corners of his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, he found that his nails were not much better, and the corners of his mouth twitched even more.

Sharpen your nails with a stone knife...... Reliable, Ye Xi hesitated.

The three of them worked together to dig out all the sweet potatoes in this piece, and found that the harvest this time was unexpected.

But the two hides on his body are used to hold wild boar, so how can he take so many sweet potatoes?

Ye Xi looked around and saw a clump of dry plants that looked like palmettos, but its leaves were larger than the palmetto leaves he had seen before, almost half a human long. Because of the lack of moisture, it dried up and turned yellow.

The leaves of this plant are generally fan-shaped, and the middle is divided into long strips, much like a pampas fan.

Ye Xi walked over and folded a leaf, tried to pull it, and felt that the toughness was okay, so he broke off a whole pu leaf.

A long leaf like this was half a man's length, and he knotted two of these leaves end to end, thinking that the length was enough.

Cangpan: "You're using it as a rattan?"

Ye Xi nodded: "Although this leaf is not as tough as rattan, it should be enough with sweet potatoes." ”

Instead of pulling out the leaves of the sweet potato, Ye Xi tied a "rope" around the junction of the leaf and the tuber, and tied them one by one, so that about ten strings of sweet potatoes could be carried on one string.

When the cone and the warehouse saw Ye Xi's movements, they also came up to help, their movements were more neat and efficient, and they quickly tied up all the sweet potatoes.

There are eight strings of these strings, which is about eighty strings of sweet potatoes.

Ye Xi looked at so many sweet potatoes, and his heart swelled with a sense of satisfaction from the harvest.

Today's purpose has been achieved, and everyone plans to go back.

Ye Xi's small body board is really not very capable of carrying weight, so he can only take a string of such ropes, and the rest is shared by the cone and the warehouse.

They already carried a large bag of wild boar meat on their bodies, plus dozens of skewers of sweet potatoes, and they still walked lightly as if they had no weight.

Just as he was about to leave to go back, Ye Xi suddenly stared straight at a corner, "Wait for me." ”

Cone and Cangpan turned around, only to see Ye Xi excitedly put down the sweet potato and take the bone rake, and pounced on an ordinary-looking plant, and couldn't wait to dig it up, and his eyes were still shining.

They wondered, they didn't see him digging sweet potatoes just now, what kind of treasure is he digging?

Soon Ye Xi dug out a bunch of things like a few lumps of soil in Huang Bula, holding it in his hand and smiling.

Cone looked at the string of things the same color as the earth: "What is this, can you eat it?"

Ye Xi waved his hand: "This is not for eating." ”

Oh, it's not food, the cone instantly lost interest, and didn't ask any more.

Ye Xi, who was about to explain, was stunned, this group of foodie primitives, as soon as they heard that they were not eating, they had this attitude, so they didn't talk about it.
