Chapter 499: Pushing the Worm

Ye Xi squatted down, looked at the immature cyan horned melon seedling, and couldn't help but stretch out a finger and poke its mini cage.

Several small cages on the horn melon seedlings sway gently, like wind chimes.

Retracting his fingers, Ye Xi suddenly turned his head and asked Yaya: "Haven't they come back yet?"

Some time ago, he sent five people, including Pingyao, Gongtao Chief, Ye Chief, Thorn Chief, and Heavy Rain, to the Jiugong Tribe, one to inquire about outside news, the second to buy seeds, and the third to buy feces insects.

Of course, this trip can also allow the potters and the general loss to meet each other, especially the heavy rain of the sister's own sister.

The elder of the Qingyang tribe died during the Great Migration, and now she is her only relative.

Tooth shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Ye Xi frowned when he heard this, and he was a little worried in his heart.

The outside was already very dangerous, and after the meteorite rain, mutated and murderous creatures were rampant, and the strength of the five people was too thin. Long before they left, Ye Xi told them not to delay on the road and go back quickly.

But now many days have passed.

"Woo Yo ————"

At this moment, there was a crisp and distant chirp from the sky.

The two raised their heads, only to see that in the blue sky, more than a dozen fierce birds of different sizes spread their wings, carrying people to fly down in the direction of Xicheng at high speed, and quickly landed in Xicheng City.

Tooth perked up: "It's back!"

"Let's go!"

Ye Xi's eyes showed joy, and he got up and walked towards the center of the city.

The two left the field and came to the place where the ferocious birds had landed. It had already been surrounded by the Xicheng people, and the crowds of people were huddled together, excitedly welcoming the people who had returned from the super tribe.

However, when everyone saw Ye Xi coming, they all hurriedly got out of the way.

In the center of the crowd, more than a dozen fierce birds stopped motionless on the ground with their wings folded, carrying many bulging bags of animal skins, which were tightly tied to their bodies with hemp ropes in order to prevent them from falling on the way, which looked very uncomfortable.

The Thorn Chieftain untied the hemp ropes that were tied to their bodies one by one, and carried the full bags of hides to the ground.

The others came to help, excitedly asking them about their journey, and Chief Thorn replied casually.

After a while, the ropes on the backs of the ferocious birds were untied, and these ferographic birds did not like so many people surrounding them, and immediately flapped their wings and flew away after being liberated.

"You're back, is the road going well?"

Ye Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the five people were standing here intact, and smiled at them in a good mood.

Only then did the five of them notice that Ye Xi was also coming, and hurriedly bent down to salute.

"I've seen Lord Xiwu!"

Chief Thorn got up and replied with a smile, "It's going well, there was no danger on the way, you see, we all came back with good hands!"

Ye Xi saw that Chief Thorn's eyes were blue and black, and knew that they hadn't rested much on the way, maybe they were rushing all night, so he said: "Sleep well tonight after your stomach is full, your stone house has not been built yet, let's live with me first, I still have a spare room over there." ”

It was disrespectful to refute Wu's suggestion, so hearing Ye Xi say this, although Chief Thorn was flattered, he also responded,

"Thank you, Lord Xiwu!"

Ye Xi bowed his head lightly, and looked at the others with a smile.

Chief Ye looked fine, but the three of Pingyao, Gongtao Chief, and Heavy Rain were a little abnormal.

There were many potters around Pingyao, and he had been answering their questions with a smile, his mouth had never heard for a moment, but his nose was slightly red when he looked closely.

Ye Xi couldn't help but look at him.

Seeing Ye Xi's concerned eyes, Ping Yao paused for a moment, and suddenly strode over and gave him a hug, and then opened a big smile.

"We're back late, so you're worried!"

Ye Xi also hugged Pingyao back and gave him a warm hug,

"It's good to be back......"

Although Pingyao and Ye Xi were friends before, since Ye Xi became everyone's "Lord Xiwu", Pingyao has been very careful about proportion, and has always been respectful in front of Ye Xi, and rarely makes intimate actions between friends.

So this hug is actually a bit abnormal, like looking for comfort from a friend when you're unhappy.

Ye Xi looked at the other two again.

Chief Gongtao was a little silent, and the thick rain made his eyes red, and occasionally wiped his eyes rudely with his hand, seeing that Ye Xi seemed to have a bright smile on his face.

It looks like a little girl who has been wronged outside and is trying to whitewash the peace in front of her family when she comes home.

Chief Ye and Chief Thorn looked at each other, then sighed in unison.

Ye Xi took in the appearance of the five of them, and after a little thought in his heart, he guessed what was going on, but he didn't break it, just pretended not to see anything, patted Pingyao's shoulder, and said to him with a smile.

"Why don't you show me what good things you have traded in Jiugong this time?"

Before Pingyao could do anything, Heavy Rain sniffed, squatted down and picked up a huge animal skin bag and put it at Ye Xi's feet. Then he untied the dagger from his waist and made a small cut in the leather bag.

The bag was clearly a living thing, and something was wriggling all the time, and when the heavy rain cut a small hole in the bag, a beetle with a large fingernail crawled out.

The heavy rain grabbed the beetle in the palm of his hand, and then stepped on the gap in the leather bag to prevent the insects inside from crawling out.

"Look, Lord Xiwu!"

The heavy rain spread out the palm of the hand, revealing a small black golden, beautiful beetle.

Ye Xi was a little surprised: "Is this a-pushing worm, so small?"

Heavy rain nodded, his eyes were a little red and said: "Yes, this is the fecal pushing insect of the Jiugong tribe, we bought all the fecal pushing insect larvae, which are only ten days old, so they are so small." It is said that the adult worm is the size of our palm and can live for about two years. ”

Ye Xi: "How much did you buy?"

Heavy rain: "We were afraid that we would not have enough, so we bought fifteen bags of fecal worm larvae." These bugs are quite cheap, adding up to only three Hybrid Beast Colics. ”

Ye Xi nodded and smiled at her.

"You're doing a great job. ”

Heavy rain looked at Ye Xi's warm smiling face, and the depression and grievances that had been coiled in his heart since he stepped into the Jiugong tribe finally dissipated a little, and he also bloomed a real smile at him.

Ye Xi looked at the dozens of bags of animal skins on the ground and asked her,

"Which bags are here for pushing larvae?"

The heavy rain was pointed out one by one.

Ye Xi turned back to the people around him and said, "Now put these larvae in the dry toilet in the city, be careful when throwing them, don't fall them to death." ”

"Yes!"

Several people took the order, picked up the animal skin bags pointed out by the heavy rain, and walked out of the crowd.

There are now five public aqua toilets in Xicheng, and every day slaves are responsible for cleaning the excrement and then picking it out of the city to find a place to bury it, so that Xicheng will not smell all day long.

Although the people who do this work are slaves, it is a bit disgusting and inhumane after all, and now with the feces pushing bugs, the problem of aqua toilets can be solved perfectly.

I heard that the food of the feces pushing insects is very large.
