Chapter 45 Harvest

"Um."

Mo Xi agreed, leaned against the side of the stone wall, and stared at the place where Yu Mu had just disappeared.

Yu Mu walked cautiously in the unfamiliar space. After the attacks by the fire fox and flying insects just now, she had already formed a preliminary judgment about the wild beasts. She knew that these beasts were very powerful and could kill people if they were not careful, so she walked carefully.

Fortunately, it's safe here.

Walking to the end, you will see a lotus pond. The broad lotus leaves are full of lotus flowers. The lotus flowers and lotus pods in the pond emit a fresh fragrance and sway gracefully there.

She is much more beautiful than any beauty.

Yu Mu's heart was burning with excitement, but she was not overwhelmed by the surprise. She still looked around carefully, but did not see anything dangerous. However, she saw a golden turtle on a lotus leaf.

The turtle lay there motionless, as if dead. If it hadn't moved its toes occasionally, Yu Mu would have thought it was a statue.

Um……

Is this turtle dangerous?

Yu Mu was so scared by a turtle that she stopped moving. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help laughing. If it was in her previous life, if she said that she was scared by a turtle and dared not move, she would probably be laughed at.

But now she really doesn't dare to be careless.

Otherwise it would be fun to capsize in the Yingou.

Yu Mu picked up a piece of dry lotus leaf on the ground and poked the turtle with the petiole. The turtle immediately stretched out its head to look around, then continued to hide in its shell and went back to sleep.

It seems that she was not seen.

Yu Mu felt relieved. Her talent for concealment was very useful at critical moments. Even if she brought the baby with her, the baby was small and slept in the protective suit, so it was difficult for people to notice him.

After making sure there is no danger.

Yu Mu began to pick them in large quantities.

The mature lotus heads stood ostentatiously on the lotus leaves and were easy to pick, but the lotus heads in the center of the pond had to be picked in the water. Yu Mu first carefully tested the depth of the water, and seeing that it was only up to the knees, he began to pick them with confidence.

Soon the basket was filled with shower heads.

She put the shower heads into the space and used the empty basket to continue picking. In this way, she picked all the shower heads. During this time, the turtle kept moving back and forth restlessly. It looked around, always feeling that something was wrong, but it couldn't tell what was wrong! Then it began to patrol its territory.

Yu Mu also carefully avoided the turtle. The turtle was only the size of a palm, but it looked very dangerous to her, so she didn't dare to be careless. The man and the turtle played hide-and-seek.

The turtle later discovered that the shower head was missing. After all, all the lotus pods in the pond were gone, so even if it was blind, it could still see it!

Its two little turtle eyes scanned the lotus pond, and its two little claws gripped the lotus leaves tightly, not missing any unusual thing, but it didn't see Yu Mu.

Yu Mu picked all the lotus pods and looked at the bottom of the pond. There were still many lotus roots there!

Outside the black hole.

Fengli and Moxi sat on the ground and waited for Mu.

More than an hour passed and Yu Mu still hadn't appeared. The two of them couldn't help but wait anxiously, fearing that she had an accident inside. At this moment, Yu Mu ran out barefoot.

She was holding a pile of lotus roots in her arms, and the basket slung over her arm was full of lotus pods. It looked like she had a good harvest. The baby had woken up and was eating with his cheeks puffed out, peeling the lotus pods clumsily in his hands.

"Have you found the lotus pond?"

Feng Li came forward happily and said.

"Yeah, but lotus roots are really hard to dig. I only dug these."

Yu Mu put the lotus roots and basket on the ground, sweating all over. He said, "If the baby hadn't woken up, I would have wanted to dig some more."

Just now, by the lotus pond, Yu Mu was digging lotus roots with too much force and woke up the baby. When the baby woke up, she saw a yellow turtle with its small eyes staring at her intently. She was immediately scared and started crying. The turtle shrank its head in shock at the crying, and then it started spraying water at the baby. It didn't spray the baby, but sprayed Yu Mu all over the head and face. The water was not like ordinary water. It was icy cold. When Yu Mu was drenched, he felt cold all over and stiff and unable to move. He no longer had the heart to dig lotus roots. He quickly collected the lotus pods and the dug lotus roots and ran out.

"From what you said, that turtle should be an ice turtle, a third-level monster."

After listening to Yu Mu's narration, Feng Li said with some fear: "Fortunately, the ice turtle didn't shoot ice arrows at you, otherwise it would be difficult for you to come."

“Thank goodness!”

Yu Mu was also a little scared. Fortunately, the baby was protected by the protective suit, otherwise the cold water would have been poured over her head and she would probably have caught a cold. It was a pity that the remaining lotus roots could not be dug up.

"How about you help me hold the baby first, and I'll try to go in alone. I have a talent for stealth, so the Ice Turtle shouldn't be able to find me."

Yu Mu was unwilling to throw away the pile of lotus roots, so he said to Feng Li.

"That's fine, but I'm afraid your little darling won't want me. What if he cries and attracts a monster?"

Fengli had a headache.

Then we can only give up, but we can't take risks with the children.

Fortunately, this time the harvest was quite good. These lotus seeds and lotus roots are scarce foods and are generally difficult to find. Although the harvest is not much, they can be sold at a good price. Moreover, they can come back to dig lotus roots next time. It’s not like the lotus pond has been moved away. Thinking of this, the few of them did not stay any longer and quickly left the cave.

Come out at three o'clock in the afternoon.

It's time to go back. Yu Mu looked into the canyon and saw that the white fog had turned into red fog, just like the light reflected by the sunlight. The black poisonous gas was much less. There should be something strange in it. I should go down and take a look when I have time, Yu Mu thought to himself.

"Mom, yes."

The baby was calling from behind at this time, and there was a hint of urgency in his cute voice.

Yu Mu looked back and saw that the lotus pod in the baby's hand had been eaten, leaving only the empty shell. It was obvious that she really liked eating lotus seeds. He was surprised and teased her, "You haven't even grown all your teeth yet, have you? How did you eat the lotus pod? Did you swallow it whole?"

"Mom, I want more."

The baby looked at Yu Mu happily. Her mother said too much and she couldn't understand what she was saying, but the round thing was delicious and she wanted more.

"Eat it when you get home, be careful not to choke."

Yu Mu was nervous just now, and in order to calm the baby down and prevent her from angering the ice turtle, he gave her a lotus pod to play with, and he didn't want her to eat it. Now seeing that she finished the lotus pod in one go, he was a little scared and didn't plan to give her any more.

"don't want!"

When the baby realized that her mother no longer gave her food, she pouted and wanted to cry. Her mother didn’t let her eat such delicious food, so her mother didn’t like her anymore.

"Woo wa wa."

The baby cried very sadly, and his voice was so loud that it was particularly resonant in the vast yellow earth!

"Baby, could you please stop crying all the time?"

Yu Mu looked at the baby and thought that it was a good thing that they were out of the danger zone, otherwise her howl would have attracted a bunch of wild beasts!
