The Caveman Made Me Awesome

Chapter 6: Food in the soil

   The sun is getting higher and higher, and the air is getting hotter.

  The land is being heated by the sun, and the taste of walking barefoot on it is not so wonderful, Ye Xi thought to himself, he must make shoes when he has the opportunity.

Ye Xi didn’t take anything except a handful of bones. The wild boar was carried by the cone and the warehouse plate. This is not to say that they thought he was young and sympathized with him. Why would the meat eaters be sympathetic to the food when he was killed? It.

  The main reason is that Ye Xi's small arms and legs are as thin as firewood sticks, and he is afraid that he will slow down his journey by carrying heavy objects. Besides, for the cone and the warehouse plate, this weight is basically negligible.

Hot weather.

   The sun is about to roast this land to death.

   Along the way, many trees were dying from the sun, the leaves were yellow and brittle, and there were even a lot of decaying animal carcasses-but these carcass cones and warehouse plates were not seen.

   Ye Xi said in his heart, these primitive people even eat human flesh but don't eat rotting animal carcasses. It seems that they already know that eating rotting animal carcasses will make them sick.

   Ye Xi wiped the sweat beads on his forehead from time to time. After drinking wild boar blood to replenish water, his body gradually sweated.

   cone: "How far is it?"

   is now about four miles beyond the range of the tribe. If you go to more distant places to pick it, the risk will increase, almost the same as hunting. This is very uneconomical for the tribe.

   Ye Xi looked around and thought, "It's just ahead."

   Zhuo stopped talking. Since Ye Xi taught them the method of packing, Ye Xi felt a subtle difference in their attitudes towards him. If it was before, he might have been scolding him.

   After a dense clump of ferns, Ye Xi: "Wait."

   The two stopped and turned to look at him.

   Yexi bent down and pushed aside the tall fern, and saw patches of unremarkable green heart-shaped leaves growing on the ground.

   Ye Xi's eyes lit up, and he squatted down and started to dig the soil, holding the bone.

   Cone and Cangpan looked at each other. Could this be the edible plant he was talking about? The tribesmen know that they can be used in plants, either the fruit of the tree or the seed, and they have never heard of it being digged out under the ground.

   Is he playing with them? The eyes of the two faintly burst into anger.

  The people of Tushan tribe were fooled by this captive kid!

   Ye Xi was ignorant, squatting and digging the soil happily. He had never been so thankful that he had lived in the countryside for a period of time when he was a child, and let him know some common crops. This body had seen this thing in his original memory, how did Ye Xi think that this thing is a common sweet potato in the countryside!

   The sweet potato stems were buried deeply, Ye Xi saw that they were almost digging, grabbing the sweet potato leaves and pulling them hard!

   took a deep **** squat, but at the same time brought out a long string of red, plump sweet potato roots!

Great! It really is sweet potato!

   Cangpan and Cone's soaring anger stagnated, looking at the string of things dumbfounded, how could such a long string of things dug out from the ground?

  Cone looked at the bright red skin of the sweet potato and asked hesitantly: "...Can this be eaten?" The brighter the color, the more poisonous things are. This is the truth that the tribe has explored for a long time.

   Ye Xi dug out the sweet potato with a crooked mouth and was in a good mood. This large bunch of sweet potatoes would definitely be enough for a whole day if he eats it alone. This stuff is starch, which can resist hunger.

   became hungry. You know, he didn't eat anything yesterday, and he also ate a fruit this morning.

   Ye Xi glanced at the cone.

  Cone inexplicably saw the contempt from it.

   In the next second, Ye Xi saw a piece of sweet potato from a bunch of sweet potatoes, and said lightly, "I'm optimistic."

   The skin of the sweet potato is still smooth, and I can't pay much attention to it at this time. Ye Xi wiped it with her hand, and the dry soil was wiped off, revealing a beautiful red skin.

   Ye Xi opened her mouth wide and took a bite directly at the sweet potato.

   Sweet potatoes are usually cooked and eaten, but they can also be eaten raw. They are non-toxic, but the taste is not as sweet after being heated at high temperature, and it is not easy to digest.

   The sweet potato is missing a mouth, revealing a milky white inner core, and white translucent juice overflows from the gap.

   Ye Xi chewed the sweet potato contentedly, filling his mouth with a sweet and crisp feeling. I don't know if the ancient sweet potato grows particularly well, and the sweetness of this raw food is not lower than that of the cooked one.

   Cone and Kuraban swallowed while watching him contentedly. Is it so delicious?

   looks like...nice?

   Seeing Ye Xi's crisp bite after bite, Die couldn't help it first: "Give me one too!" Since this kid grew up eating this stuff before, it should be non-toxic.

   Ye Xi broke off a sweet potato and threw it to him.

  Cone rubbed the dirt twice, and then took a bite.

   The refreshing and sweet crisp taste conquered him in the next second, and he narrowed his eyes, "Cangpan, it's actually not bad, sweet, very delicious."

   Cangpan hesitated, and said to Ye Xi: "Give me one too."

  ……

   The three finally ate a whole bunch of sweet potatoes.

   Ye Xi licked the corner of his mouth, touched his belly, and was full.

  Cone happily said: "This thing is not bad and not unpalatable, and one plant is so big that we can dig more and bring it back to the tribe."

   Warehouse inventory nodded.

   Under this fern, there are many plants with such heart-shaped leaves. Needless to say, there are plump sweet potatoes underneath.

   Of the three, only Ye Xi had bones that could be used as a digging tool. The others had a spear or a stone knife, and they were not suitable for digging. The two of them simply dig the soil with bare hands, without paying attention to anything.

   Ye Xi caught a glimpse of the darkness in their nails, and twitched the corners of their mouths. In a blink of an eye, they realized that their nails were not much better, and the corners of their mouths twitched even more.

   Use a stone knife to cut your nails...Is it reliable? Ye Xi hesitated.

   The three of them worked together to dig out this piece of sweet potato, and found that the harvest this time was unexpected.

   But the two pieces of animal skins on his body are used to hold wild boar. How can I get so many sweet potatoes?

   Yexi looked around and saw a bunch of dry plants that looked like palm sunflowers, but its leaves were larger than the palm palms he had seen before, almost half a person long. Because of lack of moisture, it withered and turned yellow.

   The leaves of this plant are generally fan-shaped, and the middle is divided into long strips, much like a fan.

   Ye Xi walked over and broke a leaf, tried to pull it, and felt that the tenacity was okay, so he folds off a whole piece of bush leaf.

   A long leaf like this is half a person long. He tied two such leaves at the end and felt that the length was enough.

   Cangpan: "Do you use it as a rattan?"

   Ye Xi nodded: "Although this leaf is not as tough as a cane, it should be enough to bring sweet potatoes."

They did not pull out the leaves of the sweet potatoes. Ye Xi tied the "rope" around the junction of the leaves and the tubers, and then tied them one after another, so that one rope could carry about ten bunches of sweet potatoes. .

  Jiu and Cangpan saw Ye Xi's movements, and they all came up to help. Their movements were smoother and more efficient, and they quickly tied all the sweet potatoes.

   There are a total of eight strings of this kind, which is about eighty strings of sweet potatoes.

   Ye Xi looked at so many sweet potatoes, and felt the satisfaction of harvest in his heart.

   Today's goal has been achieved, and everyone plans to go back.

   Ye Xi's small body board is really not able to carry heavy weight, so he can only hold a string of this kind of rope, and the rest is shared by the cone and the warehouse.

   They have carried a large package of wild boar on them, plus dozens of bunches of sweet potatoes, they still seem to be light on foot.

   Just as he was about to leave, Ye Xi suddenly stared straight into a corner, "Wait for me."

   Cone and Cangpan turned their heads, and saw Ye Xi excitedly put down the sweet potato and took the bones, pounced on an ordinary-looking plant, digging it out impatiently, and his eyes glowed.

   They were wondering, but they didn’t see him having this energy when digging sweet potatoes.

   Ye Xi soon dug out a bunch of yellow bumps like dirt, holding it in his hand and smiling.

  Cone looked at the bunch of things the same color as earth: "What is this, can you eat it?"

   Ye Xi waved his hand: "This is not for food."

   Oh, it's not something to eat, the cone instantly lost interest and didn't ask more.

   Ye Xi, who was about to explain, had a meal. This group of primitive food-eaters had the same attitude as soon as they heard that they weren't eating. Forget it.
