Chapter 372 Digging out things in the mud

Xiao Se's abnormality made Ye Feng and others alert and did not disturb her.

Fengshou looked at the unusual desolation and whispered: "Is it possible that this can be eaten?"

Ye Feng's eyes darkened. Whether it was edible or not, the things Arthur liked were always useful.

Xiao Se directly used her hand to pull the rotten thing on the saber-toothed tiger's hind leg. As she looked at it, she laughed out loud.

Fengshou said in horror: "Can it really be eaten?"

If he couldn't eat, Xiao Se would be able to smile so happily.

Xiao Se burst into tears of joy: "If I guessed correctly, this thing is indeed edible. Night Breeze, let me ask you, do we have such round leaves and beautiful flowers in hot weather here?" Flowers coming?”

She gestured with leaves as big as a washbasin.

Night Breeze nodded: "There are indeed the leaves and flowers you mentioned. But this is a swamp. People can be pulled out if they get stuck in it. But if a beast gets stuck in, there is only one way to die."

After listening to Ye Feng's words, Xiao Se was even more certain that this was a lotus pond, and judging from the position of the big tree, the lotus pond was quite big.

Xiao Se suppressed the joy in his heart: "If you want to prove my guess, you have to dig out the things inside and take a look."

These words frightened Ye Feng: "No. You just came up. If you want something down here, I'll do it."

Changsheng immediately said: "Clan leader, I'm coming."

Fengshou hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. I have to do things for the patriarch and Arthur. You can't compete with me."

Other tribesmen also wanted to rush to do it, but in the end they were snatched away by the harvest.

Xiao Se wanted to see if there was a lotus pond under the snow, but he would not risk the lives of his tribe to do it.

Therefore, she asked the tribesmen to clear the snow on the ground, then burn firewood and pour oil on it to prevent sneak attacks by wild beasts.

The ground where the snow had been cleared away was covered with ice, and the ice was broken open to reveal the black sludge inside.

You can't tell whether this is a lotus root pond by looking at the silt. You have to dig out what's underneath the silt.

Feng Sheng wanted to take off his animal skin clothes before going down, but Xiao Se quickly stopped him: "Don't make trouble. If you go out wearing it, no one knows what's inside. You can wash this animal skin clothes again if it gets dirty."

If some bad bug bites the harvest, it's no joke.

Listening to Arthur's words, Fengshou was wearing an animal skin coat, with two brown ropes tied around his waist, and holding a big black knife in his hand, he went down into the mud excitedly.

Some thick silt is frozen very hard, while some thin silt is not frozen and people can sink in.

The silt that had been harvested did not stop until it reached his waist, and did not sink any further.

Xiao Se said with concern: "Use your feet to feel it. Is there anything like a stick in the mud?"

Harvest's feet stepped on the mud, slowly moving back and forth to feel it.

The tribesmen all sighed in relief when they saw the harvest.

Xiao Se bit her nails, worried. She really hoped to find food again.

In this way, even if another tribe came to seek refuge, she would not be afraid of running out of food.

Night Breeze felt Xiao Se's nervousness, held her hand, and gave her warm comfort: "Don't be nervous, Fengshou looks like he is laughing, but he is very serious when doing things, don't worry."

Xiao Se forced out a smile: "I'm not worried."

He said he wasn't worried, but the worry on his face couldn't deceive anyone.

Fengsheng groped slowly in the mud with his feet, suddenly stopped, and looked at Xiao Se in surprise: "Arthur, I feel it, but I don't know if it is?" Xiao Se became even more nervous: "That thing is growing in It's in the mud, you have to dig it out and take a look to know if it's the right one?"

"no problem."

Fengshou lowered his body and slowly touched the mud, but he couldn't reach it at all: "I have to go down."

After he finished speaking, he held his breath and dived directly into the mud.

Xiao Se was startled: "He..."

I only said one word, but could never say another word, and my heart was filled with emotion.

It was she who wanted to know if there were lotus roots down there, it was she who agreed to let the harvest continue, it was she who...

Everything was her idea, but why did she say anything to stop her at this time?
Besides, the harvest has already been buried in the mud, so what's the use of talking more.

Xiao Se shut up tightly, clasped his hands, and just prayed for a good harvest and everything would go well.

Night Breeze felt her nervousness, held her cold hand tightly, and gave her warmth and comfort.

He knew Arthur's kindness better than anyone else. Arthur wanted everyone in the tribe to be fed, and he also knew it.

Arthur wanted to discover more edible food to strengthen the tribe and make the people happy, and he knew it.

He knew it all, but he couldn't stop it because he also wanted to strengthen the tribe and protect Arthur.

When the tribesmen saw the harvest burrowing into the mud, their hearts became high. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath, staring closely at the harvest burrowing into the mud.

They used to regard this place as a man-eating swamp and never wandered around here. Even if they saw a beast sinking in, they would not pull it out or pick it up.

Because they know that if they fall into the swamp, they will only die.

Unexpectedly, the place they used to be most afraid of, fearful of, and least willing to approach would now take the initiative to go there. It was really a bit...exciting and sad.

Feng Sheng held it in for about half a minute. Xiao Se was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Ye Feng, it's been too long, pull him out immediately."

"Pull it up." Ye Feng's pupils narrowed and he ordered.

Changsheng and others immediately pulled the brown rope and pulled the harvest out of the mud.

Fengsheng, whose face was covered with mud, raised the big stick in his hand and shouted as soon as he came out: "What are you doing? I'm still close to digging them all out. Why did you pull me out?"

As soon as the lively words came out, her desolate and high-spirited heart finally dropped. She was so frightened that she thought she had suffocated the harvest.

Yefeng and Changsheng looked at each other and smiled. Such a good harvest would be fine.

Fengshou raised the big stick in his hand to Xiao Se: "Arthur, is it like this? Take a look. But it's broken."

He didn't even need to hold it in his hand to look at it. Just by looking at its appearance, Xiao Se could already tell that what Fengsheng was holding was a lotus root.

She said excitedly: "Yes, that's called lotus root. You can eat it. Throw it over."

Fengsheng threw the lotus roots towards Xiao Se, and she didn't care about the mud on them. She picked them up, rubbed them clean in the snow, and then broke them.

The lotus root has broken silk threads and is full of small holes. It is undoubtedly the lotus root.

Xiao Se happily handed the lotus root to Ye Feng, and his excited voice trembled slightly: "Ye Feng, do you see it? This is called lotus root. It can be eaten. It is food."

Ye Feng was also excited, but not as openly as Xiao Se: "Okay, that's great. Arthur, you are great!"
