Chapter 53 Baked Sweet Potatoes
Mo Chi was also tasting a wild sweet potato. When he saw a group of people gathering their eyes on him, he immediately pointed at Chen Yuan.
"This is what Xiaoyuan discovered. By the way, I haven't had time to ask you yet. How did you know there is food underground?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of a group of people were all gathered on Chen Yuan, with curiosity, exploration, but more were expectation.
"It's also good luck. Do you remember the first time you entered the forest, the big wild boar kept arching the ground and then letting these little piglets go up? At that time, I was guessing that there must be something to eat underground, otherwise these guys wouldn't go there. Later, I really didn't find prey, so I went to take a try and looked at it. Who knew that I actually found these edible things!" Chen Yuan explained with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Yuan's luck is really exaggerated!" Wu Dian grinned.
"Who said no? When I first came out, I knew this guy was lucky. I didn't expect it to be so good. I could just dig on the ground and dig out food!" Dunzi also touched.
"Okay, the rest is almost over. It's time for us to go back!" Mo Chi's voice rang.
As soon as these words were said, a group of people suddenly got up excitedly and began to drill into the underground cave one by one. Before leaving, Chen Yuan cut a large handful of green grass belts near the cave.
Mo Chi took some branches and other things and barely covered the exit of the cave.
On the way back, it was surprisingly smooth. Without even seeing a little bug, the group of people had already returned to the cave where the tribe was located.
As soon as they returned to the cave, Chen Yuan and others were surrounded by tribesmen who rushed over after hearing the news.
In the expectant eyes of all the tribesmen, Chen Yuan and others came in from outside the cave with their piglets, carrying three big animal skin bags, and two big pythons.
"How is it? Is there any danger when I went out this time?" The voice of the patriarch Tu Shanhuai sounded, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. When I found that the number of people coming back was twenty, there was a smile on my face.
"Apart from being snatched a wild boar prey by a monster, I didn't encounter any other dangers!" Mo Chi said with a smile.
However, as soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet instantly. Except for a few tribe members who didn't know what the monsters meant, the other tribe members looked at Mo Chi and the others and their eyes changed.
"You met a monster?" Tu Shanhuai's voice changed.
"Well, it's a long story. Let's talk to you later. Now let's divide the food for the tribes first. Everyone is probably hungry!" Mo Chi raised the animal skin bag in his hand.
Suddenly!
Immediately, a woman from the clan came forward to help take it, put it aside and started cleaning and preparing dinner.
In Tushan, men are generally responsible for going out to hunt and search for food.
Those injured or unable to go out to hunt will look for other things in the cave, such as digging caves, or polishing knives, stone pots, stone bowls, etc., and everyone has a clear division of labor.
But this time, when these women just untied the animal skin bag and planned to clean up the harvest inside, they were all stunned.
One of the women subconsciously picked up a wild sweet potato, looked at Mo Chi and others and said, "Captain Mo, can this... be eaten?"
Not only her, but the rest also seemed a little hesitant. After all, dark red things all mean poisonous.
Even Tu Shanhuai raised his eyebrows after seeing the strange-shaped plant rhizomes, walked over quickly and picked up one to check it out.
"Class leader, don't worry, Xiaoyuan accidentally discovered this thing. We tasted it when we were on it. It was not poisonous and very delicious!" Ling Yu said with a smile.
"That's good!" Tu Shanhuai also grinned, and when he looked at Chen Yuan standing aside, the smile in his eyes could not be curbed.
"Okay, let them deal with it here. You are tired of running outside for a day. Let's sit here and rest!" After saying that, the patriarch led a group of people to the inside of the cave and sat down by a bonfire near the pool water.
All the members of the hunting team left behind in the cave sat over, and everyone sat around the bonfire and roasted the bonfire. At the same time, they were listening to Mo Chi and others telling about all the things they encountered on the ground.
Time passes by little by little.
Under Mo Chi's words, Tu Shanhuai and others learned little by little about everything that happened when they entered the ground this time.
When they heard them telling the mountains and towering trees above, their faces were full of yearning. When they heard them being attacked by giant monsters, they almost lost their lives. Just a scream made most of the people bleed from their ears and noses, the group of people became even more excited.
However, when he heard that the giant beast just snatched their prey and left, the group of people looked full of gladness.
Then, it was about the fact that they had left the cave again at Chen Yuan's suggestion, entered the ground, and found those wild sweet potatoes on the ground.
The story is almost done, and suddenly a female tribe came next to her. It turned out that she had sent a piece of snake meat and hundreds of cleaned wild sweet potatoes.
After listening to the story of Mo Chi and others, they already knew that wild sweet potatoes were sweet, so they were not polite immediately. They picked up one of their hands and ate them up.
"Woo...it's really delicious!"
“So sweet!”
"This taste is much better than the kind of fern we've found before!"
Amid the admiration, the number of hundreds of wild sweet potatoes began to drop wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a blink of an eye, hundreds of sweet potatoes were almost eaten. Chen Yuan had eaten one before, but now he only took one and ate it slowly, leaving all the rest to others.
Seeing that others were still gnawing on sweet potatoes, he simply took a stick, tied the snake meat, and then set it next to the fire to start roasting.
This is the huge python more than three meters long, with feet as thick as an adult's thigh. Although it is roasted slowly, the fragrance is really coming to your nose.
At this moment, a low pig cry suddenly came. Chen Yuan turned his head and looked, but found that it was the clansmen who were dealing with the eight little wild boars he had caught.
There was no way. Although Chen Yuan and the others brought back enough things, there were too many people in the tribe. If they really continued, they might not be able to eat enough. So the eight little boys could not escape the disaster at Tu Shanhuai's warning.
Soon, a female tribe sent two clean piglets.
