Chapter 49: Gone and Returned

Excited hearts, trembling hands.

Everyone carefully dug open the surface soil, held the dug sweet potato lumps in their hands as if they were treasures, and tears of emotion flowed out of their mouths.

Although sweet potatoes are not as nutritious and full as potatoes, they are still speechless on their own. Especially in the winter, a fire is lit, and a group of people talk around the fire, and sweet potatoes are roasted in the fire.

The roasted sweet potato peels off a thin layer of skin on the surface, revealing the yellow flesh that looks like honey inside, and the sweetness that belongs to the sweet potato bursts out in the mouth when you bite into it.

Just thinking about it like this, Di Mu was already a little unable to suppress the saliva secreted wildly.

When the orcs saw Di Mu's reaction, they knew that this must be another very delicious food, and they dug harder and harder.

There were a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and there were even more orcs who couldn't stand it, so almost in an afternoon, the orcs dug up all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the back mountain.

At this time, there is no need to think about sustainable development or anything like that, in the face of hunger, all this is a floating cloud.

Moreover, both potatoes and sweet potatoes can be grown with sprouted parts.

She didn't know how long the potatoes would last, she only knew that sprouted potatoes couldn't be eaten, and it shouldn't be long.

As for sweet potatoes, she had seen them in an old farmer's house in the north when she was on a mission before, and if they were kept in the cellar, they could be stored for about six months or more, or they could be buried directly in the mound and dug up when they were eaten.

Cellars had not yet been built in the tribe, because considering that the cellars must have been built on flat land, it was inconvenient for the orcs to live in caves during the cold season. The most important thing is that during the cold season, the beasts riot, and the orcs are estimated to have been unable to get out of the cave for a long time.

Therefore, Di Mu planned to use the simplest and crude method - dig a pile of soil and bury it directly.

After digging, the orcs still found a few animal skin bags, and carried them down one by one. There is no shortage of animal skin bags in the Sky Wolf Tribe.

The orcs hunted wild beasts every day, and not every beast's fur was suitable for animal skin clothing or animal skin quilts.

Those that were not warm and breathable, or were too ugly, were sewn into animal skin bags by the old men of the tribe.

But what I didn't expect was that when the orcs returned to the tribe, they saw the four tribal patriarchs who had gone and returned, and this time there were not too many people, only the four patriarchs and the priests of the tribe came.

I thought that there was some problem with them coming, but who knew that they made a request to spend the winter in the Sky Wolf Tribe.

Di Mu looked confused, what about the orc's territorial complex?

However, she can understand that the other three tribes are doing this, but what is the Black Eagle tribe trying to do this?

Without replying first, Wolf Yu said that he had some things to deal with, and asked Granny Hua to take the four patriarchs to chat first.

After they left, Wolf Yu called You Yuan and asked him what he had heard at noon today.

As the patriarch, Wolf Yu had just led the team out hunting, and he also heard the clansmen say that the four patriarchs had come and hurried back.

When the cold season comes, he, as the patriarch, is naturally the busiest person in the tribe, and he has no time to shave when his beard grows these days.

Di Mu was also full of curiosity about the situation outside.

"Listen to them, there are particularly delicious sweet fruits in the brown bear tribe, there are all kinds of fruits in the forest tribe, and there is a red fruit in the flower cat tribe, and they add a little bit of it to the barbecue, which is particularly delicious. I heard that some orcs will be poisoned after eating, and their entire lips will be swollen. After speaking, he was still a little unimpressed, no matter how delicious it was, it was not as delicious as the barbecue in his own tribe, and he didn't see the orcs of the Huamao tribe eating their own barbecue one by one.

Di Mu fell into his heart after hearing it. If she guessed correctly, the sweet water should be honey, and the red fruit is chili.

It is normal for there to be many fruit trees in the forest, but at this point, Di Mu suddenly found that although the Heavenly Wolf Tribe had two earth mountains, there was not a single fruit tree, I don't know why.

The tribal opening is in the southeast corner, which is quite wide. The two earthen mountains are on the north and west sides respectively, which are just connected, that is, the back mountains of the tribe.

"What about their tribe now?"

"Not too optimistic. The cold season came too early, and the small beasts hid earlier than usual. A few days is simply not enough time for them to store food. And their food cannot be stored for a long time, and they have to go out hunting when the time comes. At this time, going out to hunt is tantamount to death, even if they don't come out, when the food runs out, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Wolf Yu added: "The tribes in the forest are too wide to hide from the beasts, and it is already more difficult than us to face the beast rebellion. ”

Di Mu nodded, this is what she has been thinking about.
