Chapter 73 Suspected Rice
Because Mo Yi'er mentioned this rice, the little pom-pom and Simola were trying their best to find it on the way back, but in any case, they didn't find such tall and edible grass!
On this day, they were walking forward, but Simela found that Cailing'er, who usually followed the team slowly, was gone, and hurriedly said to Mo Yi'er: "Mo Yi'er, why didn't your Cailing'er keep up?" ”
Mo Yi'er looked back, and if she really didn't see Cai Ling'er, she stopped: "Huh? It's not that you can't move your feet when you encounter something to eat, you go first, and I'll catch up when it comes. ”
"I'll wait with you." The little pom-pom immediately stopped.
"Then I'll wait." Simola didn't give Mo Yi'er and the little pom-pom a chance to be alone at all!
They stopped, and the eight gold and Xiang Ri, who were walking in front of Yaonu, also stopped, and Yaonu complained, "What's the matter? It's always so much trouble. ”
"Shut up, no matter how troublesome it is, it won't be your trouble." Bajin roared impatiently, he listened to Yao Nu complaining that her ears were about to come out of calluses. Then he turned around and put on a warm smile at Mo Yi'er: "Mo Yi'er, then let's go to the front and wait for you." ”
"Hmm." Mo Yi'er waved her hand at Bajin, directly ignoring Yao Nu's hateful gaze. It seems that the knot between them cannot be untied no matter what.
Mo Yi'er, Little Pom-pom, and Silk Mola searched back according to the path they had just walked, and found Cai Ling'er foraging for food on a grassy beach, and it ate very happily, even Mo Yi'er and they didn't stop when they came over. It can be seen that the food it found this time is excellent, Mo Yi'er is really angry and funny: "You, if you lose it, you will eat here for the rest of your life." ”
Hearing the sound, Cai Ling'er found out that her owner had come to look for it. It raised its mung bean-like eyes, then screamed at Mo Yi'er twice, lowered its head and continued to eat.
Mo Yi'er couldn't help but look at Cai Ling'er's food, since it likes to eat it so much, it is better to pick one and bring it with it to eat later.
It didn't matter if I looked at it, only to realize that this food was really interesting. Patches of white melons that look like watermelon seedlings have fists and laughs on them, and I really don't understand why this kind of thing ripens in early spring. Cai Ling'er used her sharp mouth to peck open the skin of the melon fruit, and the round grains inside rolled out like rice grains, and Cai Ling'er ate this.
Mo Yi'er couldn't help but feel shocked, wouldn't she send a pillow if she was sleepy? This thing really looks like rice, and as for what kind of rice, she doesn't know. Squatting down, picking a fruit, gently peeling off the skin, like peeling an orange, the 'rice' in it fell into the palm of her hand, she looked up and asked Simola and the small pom-pom. "Have you seen anything like this before?"
"I've seen them, and many animals eat them, but they don't taste very good." The answer is silkola, many plants have been tasted by humans in this period, but those that taste bad are not included in the food.
Mo Yi'er nodded, then picked up a grain of 'rice' and put it in her mouth and bit it, it really felt like the taste of raw rice. "Let's pick some back, even if we don't eat it, Cai Ling'er will probably like to eat it."
"Okay." Mo Yi'er's words, the little pom-pom and Simola have no objections. Finding a bag of animal skins and picking the fruit, Cai Ling'er ate desperately for a while, feeling full before stopping.
After the foodie finishes eating, there is also a price, so Cai Ling'er has two more big bags of 'rice' on her back, but it has no regrets, that is its favorite thing to eat!
Continue to hurry, they walked unhurriedly, Mo Yi'er didn't want to catch up with Yao Nu so quickly, it seemed that she would be uncomfortable when she saw Yao Nu now. When it was almost time to eat in the evening, Mo Yi'er and they gathered at their resting place tonight.
Kasa and Yao Nu sat under the big tree to rest, while Bajin and Xiangri went hunting, eating the food they hunted with small pompoms every day, which made them feel a little uneasy.
The little pom-pom is happy, so he can stay by Mo Yi'er's side for a while! As a 'woman', Simora is naturally idle, especially since he is also the 'sister' of the leader of the tribe, even if she wants to work, Kasa will be afraid to stop her, so he has developed the habit of throwing his hands and being an idiot.
Yao Nu's vague eyes swept over Mo Yi'er and the others, and soon found that Cai Ling'er had two more big animal skin bags on her back, and asked, "What is on Cai Ling'er's back?" I'm hungry now and want to eat. ”
It was a natural tone, as if someone owed her money.
"I can't eat it yet, I'll have to wait until they come back to make dinner." Mo Yier replied patiently.
"I'm so hungry, hungry, hungry...... "Yao Nu's crippled hand waved wildly, and her mouth kept shouting. Mo Yi'er suddenly felt that she might have a fever that burned her brain, but sometimes it didn't look like it.
Mo Yi'er didn't bother to pay attention to her this time, everyone collectively ignored her, but it would be better if someone could plug her mouth.
Mo Yi'er thought about it for a while, or decided to try whether this 'rice' could be eaten as rice, in order not to waste, she took out two fruits from the animal skin bag, opened the peel, carefully put the 'rice' into the clay pot, looked at the kettle she carried with her There was not much water, and she had to keep it to deal with the prey she had brought back, so she said: "I'll go find out where there is a water source." ”
"I'll go with you." The little pom-pom immediately followed.
Without waiting for Simala to say go together, the little pom-pom said, "You go and collect firewood, otherwise you won't be able to cook food when you come back in a while." ”
Silkara's footsteps froze in place, and she had to go to collect firewood. For his astuteness, the little pom-pom was very satisfied, loosened his nose slightly, and took Mo Yi'er to a place where the air was relatively humid, and in a hundred words, there would be a water source where the air was humid.
However, this time they were disappointed, and found a wet quagmire, mostly black silt, and no water source to try. Mo Yi'er looked at the clay pot she was holding and the 'rice' inside, a little unwilling. "Is there no other water source nearby?
The little pom-pom nose moved and shook his head: "It seems that there is no more." ”
"Well, forget it, go back!" Mo Yi'er hung her head in frustration, she was really unwilling.
When they went back to the resting place, Bajin and Xiang Ri had already returned, and the two of them caught three hares, which were far worse than the daily prey of the little pom-pom, and the three hares were barely eaten by so many people, which made the two of them feel a little ashamed.
Simora retrieved a lot of firewood, and set up two bonfires, which were so far away that it was evident that he did not want to go near Yaonu.
