"Brother, I'm sorry I was delayed for a while. I made you worry."

"Big brother, second brother, hurry up and carry your baskets and follow me. I found a good place with lots of wild vegetables."

Third Brother Yun grabbed Yun Yiyi with one hand and said, "Yiyi, you're sweating all over. Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Second brother, there's no need to rest. Let's go quickly."

"Okay, then let's follow Yiyi quickly."

So, under the leadership of Yun Yiyi, Brother Yun and the others passed through the woods and caves and came to the small valley.

"Yiyi, how did you find this place? It's so beautiful." Brother Yun San said exaggeratedly.

"Wow, there are so many wild vegetables on the ground. The key is that they are not old yet."

"What a nice place."

"Brother, look, there is a spring there." Xie Zirui noticed with his sharp eyes the spring pit that Yun Yiyi had deliberately dug bigger and deeper.

As Xie Zirui looked at his arm, he saw that there was indeed a spring with cold water.

"Brother, I've dug the spring hole bigger and deeper. If you're thirsty, you can go there and drink some water."

As soon as Yun Yiyi finished speaking, everyone rushed to the spring.

"This spring water is so sweet. But it flows too slowly. If you come here to get water, you have to wait a long time for a bucket of water."

Brother Yun looked at the spring with a bit of regret.

"Brother, it's good that we have water to drink."

"Yeah, the sun is so strong and we didn't bring any water. I thought we'd be thirsty all afternoon."

Xie Zirui followed everyone else's example and scooped up a handful of water to drink. It was very sweet and thirst-quenching.

"Brother, there are plenty of wild vegetables on the ground over here, enough for you to dig. You guys can dig the wild vegetables here, and I'll go take a look ahead."

Brother Yun was busy digging wild vegetables at the moment. "Go ahead, but don't run too far."

Yun Yiyi ran away, "I understand, big brother."

Yun Yiyi walked around the entire valley and she had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

There must be rabbits in this valley, but I don't know how many there are.

Yun Yiyi put her hands behind her back and started looking for a rabbit hole around the valley.

Rabbits generally prefer to dig their burrows on higher ground, so that they are less likely to be flooded.

If the rabbit hole is dug in a low-lying area, water will enter the hole when it rains and flood the rabbit hole.

In addition, the entrance of the rabbit hole is not big and is not easy to be found. This can also prevent the rabbit's natural enemies from entering the rabbit hole.

The clouds moved to higher places in the valley and wandered under the rocks.

Fortunately, Yun Yiyi found several rabbit holes not far away on a hillside.

Yun Yiyi carefully observed one of the holes. The soil at the hole was very solid because of the rabbit's trampling. Rabbits must often go in and out of this hole.

Yun Yiyi checked the other holes. They were all clean, with few signs of rabbit activity. They must be backup holes.

Yun Yiyi remembered the entrance to the hole and went on to look for another rabbit hole.

Finally, Yun Yiyi found three holes under a rock not too far from the spring. The weeds at the holes were so tall that they were invisible unless you looked carefully.

Yun Yiyi looked at all three holes one by one, and only one relatively hidden hole had some signs of rabbit activities.

Yun Yiyi touched her chin and thought, this must be an abandoned rabbit hole.

Fortunately, while looking for the rabbit hole, Yun Yiyi found a few wild sweet potatoes under a small slope.

The vines and leaves of the wild sweet potatoes had already turned yellow. Yun Yiyi stepped on one of them and felt that the leaves looked familiar.

When she looked down, she saw that they were actually wild sweet potatoes. So, Yun Yiyi straightened the sweet potato vines.

Then she pulled up the sweet potato vines with all her strength. Fortunately, the soil was moist and the sweet potatoes came out with it.

However, Yun Yiyi was worried that some of the potatoes might have slipped through the net. She picked up a small shovel and turned them over again. In the end, she only found a few small sweet potatoes.

Yun Yiyi picked all the sweet potatoes from the vines, put them together and counted them. She harvested a total of ten large sweet potatoes and eight small sweet potatoes.

Among them, Yun Yiyi dug a small sweet potato into two parts. Yun Yiyi then discovered that the sweet potato had a red skin and white flesh, and smelled particularly fragrant.

She weighed a large sweet potato, estimated to be about two pounds. "Haha, what a pleasant surprise!" Yun Yiyi's face lit up with joy.

Yun Yiyi took the sweet potato that was cut into two pieces and went to find Brother Yun and the others.

"Brother, how's your vegetable digging going? Is the basket almost full?"

Brother Yun raised his head and asked, "What's wrong, Yiyi?"

Yun Yiyi washed the dirt off the sweet potato in the spring water, broke off a small piece with her hands, and began to eat it.

The sweet potatoes were finally harvested. They were incredibly crispy and sweet. Yun Yiyi remembered that when they were first harvested, they weren't sweet at all, and only became sweet after a while.

It was indeed too late to harvest the wild sweet potatoes she had found today. If she didn't harvest them soon, they would probably rot in the ground when the weather got colder.

Yun Yiyi handed Brother Yun a small piece of sweet potato. "Brother, try it. I just found some wild sweet potatoes. They're very sweet."

"How can we actually find wild sweet potatoes here?" Brother Yun took the sweet potato and stuffed it into his mouth. Wow, it was crispy and sweet, so delicious.

Yun Yiyi broke the sweet potato into small pieces and gave each person a small piece. It wasn't much, and they could finish it in two bites.

"Yiyi, this sweet potato is delicious. Where did you find it? Do you have any more?

"It's the same sweet potato we used to grow, with red skin and white flesh."

"This sweet potato doesn't need any seasoning, it's delicious."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, brother Zirui. I found a few sweet potato vines under the slope over there."

"I've pulled out all the sweet potato vines and dug out the sweet potatoes. I counted them and found ten big ones, and a few small ones."

Everyone was happy when they heard that Yun Yiyi had brought so many sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are not like wild vegetables. They can be eaten as food. The sweet potatoes Yun Yiyi dug are enough for two meals if she eats them sparingly.

This can save a lot of food. This is really good news.

"Yiyi, let me follow you to carry the sweet potatoes back."

"Okay, second brother. I'll take you there."

So, Yun Yiyi took her second brother to pack the sweet potatoes. The second brother also gathered the sweet potato vines together and tied them into a large bundle and brought them back.

Second Brother Yun told Yun Yiyi that the mules and donkeys at home loved eating sweet potato vines. They loved them both, wet and dry. They would practically eat them all.

Brother Yun looked at the small basket of sweet potatoes and said, "Yiyi, I didn't expect the sweet potatoes here to be quite big."

Yun Yiyi felt a little regretful. "Brother, they grew too densely together, so there are many small sweet potatoes. If we grow them ourselves, they will definitely be big sweet potatoes."

Brother Yun San happily patted Yun Yiyi's shoulder and said, "Yiyi, it's our good luck to find these wild sweet potatoes today."
