It was just a pair of clogs, and Jiang Xue didn't want to make a big deal about it, but the clogs were the first thing the system rewarded her, and she hadn't even tried them on herself, and this guy threw them into the river.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel disgusted.

Jiang Xue snorted with a forced smile, then picked up a finger-thick vine from the ones she had cut yesterday and without saying a word, she hit him hard twice.

The two whips were so painful that the old patriarch begged for mercy: "Axue, I said it was all my fault, please kill me, I beg you to give me a quick death!"

"You wish! I said I wouldn't kill you, so I won't kill you, but after today, you will have nothing to do with our Snake Tribe!" Jiang Xue snorted coldly, "I believe you know better than me what happens to those who are driven out of the tribe!"

"Axue, I'm telling the truth. Please forgive me."

The old patriarch was crying so hard that his eyes were filled with tears, and it was so miserable.

After Jiang Xue heard him say that he had thrown the clogs into the river, she knew that it was impossible to get them back.

She had no idea where the river would eventually flow.

No one would be so bored as to walk along the river.

She suddenly felt relieved, dropped the cane in her hand, and walked to Mu Feng's side: "I'll be the bad guy, and I'll leave the rest to you."

After saying that, she walked towards the thorn wall and prepared to sign in.

But this time, just as she finished saying these two words in her mind, the system suddenly responded to her: "System update complete! Starting today, there are two sign-in options. One is for the host to sign in voluntarily. In this option, the host will receive an item reward every ten days of signing in. The other option is for the system to randomly designate a location. The host will complete the sign-in within the specified time and receive an item reward. Which sign-in method do you want to choose?"

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Can I decide between these two sign-in methods?"

"Naturally, but you can only choose one of these methods each day."

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "Sign in randomly."

"Host, please go to the lotus pond to sign in. You have half an hour left."

Lotus pond?

Could it be the lotus pond that I encountered when I was picking grapes with Xiaohua and the others that day?

This is a bit difficult. The lotus pond is actually quite far from the tribe, but we should be able to get there in half an hour.

Thinking of this, she picked up a basket, took Xiaohua and ran towards the lotus pond in a hurry.

Xiaohua was conscripted into the army temporarily and left the tribe before he could react.

When she arrived at the lotus pond breathlessly and signed in, the system generously rewarded her with items:

[Successfully sign in for 31 consecutive days and receive a fishing net as a reward.]

Jiang Xue was confused: Fishing net?

What use do I have for this fishing net?

When Xiaohua saw her suddenly stop, she ran after her and asked, "Sister Xue, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Xue pointed at the lotus flowers in front of her and said, "Do you see those flowers? Let's go down and dig some to eat."

Xiaohua stared at her as if she had seen a ghost: "Sister Xue, where can I get food?"

"I can't explain it to you clearly, but I can tell you for sure that if I say there's food here, then there must be food here."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she looked around, gritted her teeth, took off her animal skin clothes, and dived into the water.

Xiaohua knew that she was a good swimmer, so when she saw her jump into the water, she was not in a hurry. Instead, she took the initiative to pick up the clothes she threw away and put them into the basket.

Just as she put her clothes away, Jiang Xue held up a lotus root covered in black mud and said to her, "This is it."

After that, she washed the lotus root in water, revealing the jade-white lotus root: "This thing can be eaten raw or cooked. Do you want to try it?"

Xiaohua stared at the plump white lotus root and said, "I never knew there was such a thing under this kind of flower!"

Jiang Xue broke the lotus root and handed half to her. She opened her mouth and took a bite of the other half: "Eat it quickly, it's sweet and tastes good."

Xiaohua took it and took a bite, imitating her. Her eyes immediately lit up: "Really? It's so sweet!"

Jiang Xue was eating while walking towards the shore. Suddenly, she felt she stepped on something hard. She bent down and dug it out.

She was immediately delighted when she dug out that thing, a river clam!

There are actually clams in this lotus pond!

She came ashore, holding a lotus root in one hand and a river clam in the other. "Xiaohua, do you recognize this?"

Xiaohua was happily chewing a lotus root when she suddenly heard her question. She quickly looked at her hand and shook her head like a rattle, "I don't know. Sister Xue, can this be eaten raw?"

Jiang Xue was at a loss for words: "You can't eat this raw. You have to prepare it properly before eating it."

These days, Jiang Xue always mentioned the word "deal with", and Xiaohua already knew what it meant.

For example, when weaving a basket with rattan, you need to process it.

For example, when weaving straw into shoes, it also needs to be processed.

And this river clam also needs to be processed.

"Well, how do we deal with this?"

"We need to make something else. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat this."

Maybe they could eat it, their stomachs were more adapted to eating raw food than hers, but she really couldn't eat it herself.

Even though she was once thrown into the mountains for training for a period of time, she never ate raw meat.

"Do you want my help?"

Jiang Xue nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you when I need your help."

However, she had never made that thing before, she just knew the ingredients used to make it... No, she didn't even know where to find those ingredients.

"Sister Xue, I remember this thing was by the river. Why did you come here to pick it up?"

Jiang Xue looked at her as if she had heard something extraordinary: "Xiaohua, you didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, I'll pick it up for you when we get back."

Jiang Xue hummed, and she ate the lotus root in her hand in big mouthfuls: "Xiaohua, let's dig it quickly and bring some back for them to eat. If they like it, we can come back and dig more."

There was no reason for Xiaohua not to obey.

She quickly finished the lotus root in her hand, even the lotus root nodes were not spared, and she finished it in a few bites.

After eating the lotus root, she also followed Jiang Xue's example and went into the water to pull up the lotus root.

By the time Jiang Xue and Xiao Hua returned to the tribe carrying a basket of lotus roots, the old patriarch and A Shan were gone, and the hunting and gathering teams had also gone out.

When Jiang Xue gave a piece of the lotus root she had dug up to everyone in the tribe and told them that they could eat it raw, they, like Xiaohua, looked as if they had seen a ghost.

But after they actually took a bite, they all asked where this thing came from and they also wanted to pick it.
