Jiang Xue laughed. "That's easy. As long as the dozens of silkworms we have are done laying eggs, the silkworms on the trees will probably be ready too. By the time we get over there, they should be ready to be collected."
They had collected so many silkworms in the spring. The winnowing basket woven by Asongbai was about half a meter in diameter, but the silkworms were still divided into three baskets.
As they grow bigger and fatter day by day, their appetite also increases day by day, but who knows that in the end they will be completely destroyed by the knife.
It hurts to think about it.
And those goats.
It goes without saying that they were killed and eaten by them. Aren’t there just goat skins drying in the sun in their tribe?
The group finally returned to the tribe, and everyone in the tribe was looking forward to it anxiously.
Xiaohua and Aqing were especially impressed. As soon as they saw Jiang Xue coming back, they both ran over. Xiaohua threw herself into Jiang Xue's arms without hesitation: "Sister Axue, why did you run out by yourself without saying a word? Are you okay?"
Jiang Xue deliberately yelled, "Xiaohua, what are you doing? Look at all the snot you've rubbed all over me! It's so disgusting!"
Xiaohua not only didn't let go, but hugged him even tighter: "I don't care, I'm going to stick with you. From now on, I'll follow you wherever you go, otherwise, neither of us will feel at ease."
"Alright, alright! Go find Uncle Asong and ask him to bring out a few more winnowing baskets. We've found new silkworms."
Xiaohua's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really? Did you really find new silkworms?"
Jiang Xue nodded: "It's in Elder Chimu's backpack. It's really not easy for us to find food for them along the way."
It took them longer to get here than it did when they went there, mainly because mulberry trees were hard to find.
Whenever they found a new mulberry tree, Jiang Xue not only urged them to climb the tree to pick mulberry leaves, but also urged them to check whether there were any silkworm seeds.
Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain, and they found more than a hundred silkworms one after another.
There were more than two hundred of them in total, and on the way back they shed their skin again, becoming whiter, longer, and stronger than before.
When Asongbo heard that she had found new silkworms, he immediately took out his newly woven winnowing basket and handed it to Jiang Xue. "Xue Wu, I thought I had nothing to do anyway, so I just woven one. They all tried to persuade me not to do it anymore, but I didn't expect that this thing would actually come in handy after you came back."
