. . . . . .
The only answer he got was Xia's silence.
"Go if you want. I'll guard the tribe."
Now the others around were even more surprised, especially Fei, who opened his mouth wide and asked in a daze.
"Yang...are you willing to come back?"
Yang glanced at him, and Fei immediately closed his mouth, indicating that he would remain quiet.
"I know how you feel." Yang stepped forward and patted Xia's shoulder. "Go do what you want to do."
Looking at Yang in front of him, Xia's lips trembled.
"Positive......"
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you worried about me in the tribe? Don't think that I can't do anything just because I have a lame leg. I can still beat you up."
Yang's expression and tone were a little impatient.
"Yeah, Xia, Yang is willing to help, so what are you still hesitating about? Do you really want to try fighting with him?" Li supported Yang.
"It's okay to fight! I haven't seen Yang fight with the orcs for a long time. He used to like fighting the most. He dared to fight with the orcs before he was an adult. Xia should not be cowardly, and beat him up now!" Fei started to cheer.
Lan folded his arms and looked at them without saying a word, but it was obvious that he was happy. He was happy about Yang's arrival and what Yang was doing now.
"Fight! Fight!"
"Fight! Fight!"
"Fight! Fight!"
Several other orcs also started to join in the fun.
Finally, Shu walked to Xia's side and spoke softly.
"Don't hesitate. It's rare that Yang is willing to come out and take charge. Why don't you relax and relax?"
With his back to Yang, Shu frantically gestured to Xia, "Don't you want to personally wipe out the roaming orcs? Haven't you always wanted Yang to cheer up? With such a good opportunity, why are you still hesitating?"
Xia looked at everyone in the room, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again and looked at Xiangyang, his eyes had regained their former firmness.
"Okay, I'll leave the tribe to you."
"Nonsense!"

After the meeting, Meng Yuqing followed Xuan back to Qiuye's house. Qiuye was still resting, but Lie had already woken up.
Seeing them come back, he struggled to get out of bed, but Xuan pushed him back onto the bed.
"You are seriously injured. Rest well and don't move."
"How is Uncle Qiuye?"
"Uncle is fine. He is resting in the next room. You are the most seriously injured among all of you." Hearing Xuan's words, Lie felt a little relieved and lay down obediently.
He turned his head and found Meng Yuqing standing beside him. His eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke to Meng Yuqing.
"Yuqing, you're here too! Are we still having barbecue today?"
Meng Yuqing was stunned. He was so badly injured that there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body, and he was still thinking about the barbecue tonight. He was so hungry that he didn't want to die, right? Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing decisively refused.
"You're still thinking about eating even though you're in this state! Wait until your injuries are healed."
"But being injured doesn't prevent me from eating!" Lie's face fell.
"Barbecue is more fun if you make it yourself, especially my barbecue tastes better if you make it yourself." Meng Yuqing fooled Lie.
Seeing Lie's instantly depressed expression, Meng Yuqing thought for a moment and comforted him.
"We'll make up for it when you're better. I just found the seasoning, and next time it will be even better than this time."
"Really?" Lie became alert, and Xuan also turned his head and looked at him with bright eyes.
"Really, really, I promise."
"You promised?" Xuan said meaningfully.
"Yes, I promise!" Meng Yuqing resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Xuan.
After watching Lie, Meng Yuqing directly took Xuan to her home.
Ten days later the tribe will be ready to set out to look for the wandering orcs. Now they have to send people to the other two tribes to inform them of this matter and confirm cooperation. The ones sent out are the only two flying orcs in the tribe. At his speed, a round trip within ten days is enough.
During these ten days, Meng Yuqing also decided to do something within the effective time.
Xuan has already told Xia that he will stay with Meng Yuqing and help him for the next ten days.
After arriving home, Meng Yuqing took out the sweet potatoes and potatoes that he had exchanged yesterday from the warehouse and handed them to Xuan.
"Xuan, these are two kinds of food. They are very filling, and they can be grown easily. The yield is very high, and they can be stored for a long time. I think we can promote them and let everyone grow them. Then we won't be short of food in winter, at least the sub-beasts won't be short of food."
Orcs have a very high demand for meat. Although they also eat wild vegetables, they can only fill their stomachs. Meat can allow them to replenish enough energy and become stronger.
"And this, the leaves can also be eaten as wild vegetables." Meng Yuqing waved the sweet potato in front of Xuan's eyes. Seeing Xuan open his mouth slightly to speak, he immediately interrupted him.
"Don't ask where it came from. I won't tell you even if you ask me."
"No... I want to ask, how do you eat these two things? People in our tribe have never seen or eaten them." Xuan spoke weakly. He didn't want to delve into Meng Yuqing's secret. If Meng Yuqing was willing to talk, then he was willing to listen.
Meng Yuqing touched his nose and thought, well, Xuan would never ask these questions. If he wanted to ask, he would have asked them long ago.
Recovering his thoughts, Meng Yuqing picked up a potato and introduced it carefully.
"You can eat it boiled, roasted, or fried. It doesn't matter how hard you cook it. Especially potatoes. The important thing to remember is that they must be cooked thoroughly before eating. If you see them sprouting, don't eat them. Just bury them in the soil and water them. They will grow on their own."
After saying that, he picked up another sweet potato.
"This is called a sweet potato. Compared to potatoes, the yield is lower. It's very sweet and can be eaten raw, but if you can cook it, then cook it. I'll give you a few to try later. If you're interested, plant a batch now while it's still spring. You can harvest it around autumn, but I'm not sure if I can plant two batches this year."
Xuan held the potatoes and sweet potatoes and watched Meng Yuqing chattering non-stop. He wanted to speak several times but couldn't get a word in.
He didn't find the chance to speak until Meng Yuqing finished introducing both foods and was about to find some water to drink.
"You mean, these are two kinds of food that can be... planted... right? Then if we have these, the tribe will not be short of food, especially in winter?" Xuan looked at the two things in his hands with some surprise, "Planting... What is planting, and how do you plant it?"
After drinking some water, Meng Yuqing heard Xuan's question, grabbed Xuan and took him to his vegetable garden, took out a stone knife and demonstrated to Xuan how to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After cutting the potatoes and sweet potatoes into pieces and burying them in the soil, Meng Yuqing scooped water with a stone bowl and poured it over the potatoes.
"That's it. Potatoes will be ready for harvest in about three months, and sweet potatoes will take longer, four months. I have over 90 kilograms of each left. I'll have the tribe allocate some land to plant them."
