After some operations, the expedition team consisting of four rafts and thirty people set off.

The bamboo pole was placed on the river bank, and the heavy pressure caused it to bend.

As the bamboo pole gradually straightened, the heavy raft left the shore and headed into the lake with irregular fan-shaped ripples.

After sailing for a distance inside, the water level began to become deeper and the bamboo pole became difficult to use. The person responsible for rowing the boat began to row the boat, paddling in the water again and again, sliding the raft towards the island in the middle of the lake.

"Dad! Dad! Where is Dad going?"

Little Pea on the shore shouted loudly to Han Cheng who was standing on the second raft. He seemed reluctant to leave and wanted to follow Han Cheng.

The witch next to him reached out and grabbed one of Little Pea's hands and took a step back, worried that Little Pea would fall into the water.

Han Cheng, who was on the raft, couldn't help but twitch his face when he heard Little Pea's cry. What the hell is "Where's Dad?" Could it be that his son also came from the future?

"Dad, go there!"

After complaining, Han Cheng answered fluently and pointed to the island in the lake.

"Just wait for Daddy on the shore. Daddy will go over there to take a look first. When there's no danger over there, Daddy will take you there to play!"

Han Cheng said to Little Pea with a smile.

Then he instructed, "All of you go to the back and don't get too close to the lake shore, lest you fall into the water!"

"dad!……"

Little Pea had turned into a complete chatterbox at this moment. He stood on the shore and talked to Han Cheng across the lake. Han Cheng had no choice but to stand on the raft and respond to Little Pea.

This scene suddenly reminded Han Cheng of the skit "Crossing the River" performed by Pan Changjiang.

'There is a winding river in front of the father, and the son is on the shore...'

As I was thinking this, I almost sang the adapted little tune.

As Little Pea called out for her father, the boat paddled through the water, getting farther and farther away from the shore.

At the same time, the islands in the island lake are getting closer and closer.

Originally, standing on the shore, the rocks didn't seem very tall, but when they came closer, they found that they were at least four or five meters high.

In the cracks of the rocks, there are some strong grasses and some not-so-tall trees growing sporadically.

In the shallow water below the rocks where the lake meets the lake, there is some fine sand, on which are some scattered large clam shells that are gray-brown with some whitish color, as well as some fish skeletons stained with scale.

On the bare rocks, there were patches of white bird droppings scattered here and there.

There are too many rocks here, and there is no suitable place to lead to the island, so Han Cheng did not let people dock here, but rowed around the island to the east, and the raft gradually disappeared from the sight of everyone on the shore.

"dad!"

Little Pea climbed up a rock and shouted loudly in the direction of the island in the lake, but got no response.

There was a hint of crying in his voice.

The little person suddenly felt some concern and some feelings of separation.

"Don't be afraid, your father will be back soon."

The witch reached out to support Little Pea and said to her with a smile.

Although he was also somewhat worried, he did not show it at all at this time.

"real?"

Little Pea asked the witch with blinking eyes.

"Of course it's true. You come down first, and we'll wait over there. It's higher up there."

The witch pointed to a slope not far away and spoke to Little Pea.

So, the witch coaxed Little Pea down from the steep stone.

Then he took Little Pea's hand and walked towards the slope not far away.

The pea-man trotted fast, but when he saw the witch walking slowly, he also slowed down. The old man and the young man walked slowly up the slope, turned around and sat side by side, facing the direction of the island in the lake...

At this time, the raft, out of sight of everyone on the shore, had already circled to the north of the island.

Unlike the south side which is very steep and has towering rocks, the north side of the island is very flat. On the edge of the island is a golden sand beach. On the beach and in the shallow water, long-legged egrets are walking leisurely, or standing in the water like wood, waiting for small fish to swim towards them.

There are some big and small old turtles lying on the beach, some are black, some are yellow. Similar to the beach, they are all there quietly basking in the sun and enjoying a sunbath.

The arrival of Han Cheng and his group of uninvited guests disturbed the tranquility here, especially the area where the bamboo raft was docked.

The egret flapped its wings and flew away into the distance. The old turtle lazily lying on the beach basking in the sun also demonstrated a speed beyond Han Cheng's cognition.

He stood up from the beach, moved quickly with his short legs, and rushed into the water.

One turtle even bumped into another turtle head-on due to the high speed. Under the huge impact, the turtle, which was as big as a plate, fell to the ground sideways, with its shell facing down and its four legs facing the sky. It struggled continuously but couldn't turn over...

At this moment, Han Cheng was astonished by the speed displayed by these old turtles.

After seeing these, Han Cheng felt that the usage of words like "turtle crawling" and "tortoise speed" in later generations to describe a person's slowness was not at all appropriate.

"thump"

Han Cheng jumped from the raft onto the beach, which might be the first time anyone had stepped on it. He stood there and looked around for a while, then walked towards the old turtle that was lying on its back, trying hard to turn over.

Seeing this heretic who not only didn't carry a shell with him but also walked on his two claws, the old turtle simply retracted his limbs, head and tail into the shell and acted like a turtle with a clear conscience.

I lay on the beach for three and a half years, and turned over when the big waves came.

This sentence points out the importance of patience and opportunity. At the same time, it also shows from one side how difficult it is for a turtle to turn over. It has to wait for three and a half years and even encounter big waves before it can succeed.

However, this old turtle was lucky enough. It was saved by Han Cheng before it even had to wait for three and a half days.

But it was also unfortunate, because he flipped directly into the backpack carried by the people who came ashore...

There is a beach near the water. After walking about twenty meters forward, the beach turns into an area covered with weeds.

He used the bronze spear in his hand to push aside the weeds and walked forward. After walking about twenty meters, the weeds gradually became less and the trees became more.

At the roots of these trees, there is some scum left after the water level receded.

After walking another seven or eight meters, the scum on the ground completely disappeared. This means that, generally speaking, during the rainy season, after the water from the surrounding rivers flows into the Wild Duck Lake, the water level will basically not rise any further after reaching here.

Han Cheng stood at the edge of the trees and looked at the island for a while, then pointed to the west and said, "Let's go over there and take a look."

Then, under the protection of the tribesmen's rattan shields, they returned to the beach and walked west along the beach.

Because the view from the beach is wide and there is not much grass at the foot, it is reassuring and can avoid risks to the greatest extent...

Junior Brother Sha, who came to the island with us, was holding a bow with an arrow on it. He was scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, ready to shoot those guys with an arrow immediately if he found something wrong.

Walking westward along the beach, egrets were flying around, and old turtles were running into the water, then poking their heads out to look at this group of strange monsters.

Compared with the south side, the north side of the island in the lake is more than twice as wide. Han Cheng and others walked west along the beach for about three or four miles before gradually reaching the northern edge of the island.

However, the way was blocked by a patch of unknown plants more than one meter tall.

Han Cheng did not force his way in, but instead led his men towards the interior of the island, preparing to bypass the plants in front of them.

After walking a few steps forward, Han Cheng stopped and couldn't help but sniff hard.

Because he smelled something just now, a familiar smell, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it was or where he had smelled it.

After standing here and sniffing a few times, Han Cheng thought for a moment and reached out to pull over such a plant, put it under his nose, and sniffed it hard.

After seeing Han Cheng's actions at this moment, the people who were following him suddenly became excited, especially Junior Brother Sha and others who had followed Han Cheng to the Fire Tribe. They were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths.

Because many experiences have made them understand that once the Son of God shows a similar state towards something, the tribe is likely to have a new thing that is very useful to the tribe. If it is delicious, it would be even better.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Han Cheng, who had sniffed hard for a while, let go of his hand. The plant that he had bent bounced back, stood up straight, and made a rustling sound.

Han Cheng shook his head. The smell that seemed familiar to him but he couldn't identify it was not emitted by the plants in front of him that he had never seen before.

After releasing the plant, he sniffed hard and could still smell that familiar scent, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

Looking up at the plants rustling in the wind, and smelling the familiar smell that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, Han Cheng couldn't stay here any longer.

"Come on, come over here!"

Han Cheng greeted everyone and then walked towards the interior of the island, preparing to bypass the dense vegetation.

沙师弟等人也没有询问，只是带着兴奋和期待的跟着韩成迅速的往岛屿内部走去。

这片不知名的植物长的很强，往岛屿内部走了差不多得有二三十米才算是来到它们的边缘。

“这是？！”

刚刚来到边缘，视野变得开阔之后，韩成看着眼前出现的景物一下子就愣住了，眼睛都有些发直。

见到韩成这样大的反应，跟随着的众人纷纷顺着韩成看的方向望去。

目光越过眼一段儿生长着杂草、树木的地界之后，来到了湖水里。

挨着这片长得很高、很密的植物，岛屿的浅水区里生长着好大一片的另外一种植物。

这种植物有着很大的、圆圆的叶子，有的叶子都能赶上部落里煮饭的大缸的口了！

风吹过的时候，这些大叶子植物迎风的那一侧，便会被风吹翻卷起来，露出泛白的叶子背面。

叶子翻涌之间，偶尔会有杆子光秃秃的、只有最上面才有一个桃形的花苞显露。

花苞是白色的，白中又沾着些许的粉红。

每当有风起的时候，便会有着一种显得独特的清香顺风飘来。

这是什么东西？怎么把神子的眼睛都给看直了？莫非这种东西真的很好吃？

想到好吃，不少人都开始对着这片他们从来都没有见过的奇怪植物咽口水。

“哈哈哈……！”

站在原地盯着这片生长在水里的植物看了一阵儿的韩成，忍不住大笑出声，然后朝着岛屿的边缘大步而去。

拿着带有尖刺的藤盾、走在前面的人慌忙迈动步子随之往前走去。

他们也迫不及待的想要从神子的口中得知这种从来没有见过的东西是什么，有什么用途，好不好吃。

片刻之间，韩成等人便已经来到了岛屿边缘，临近湖水的地方。

随着接近，那种显得好闻的清香变得更加浓郁了。

“哗啦！”

倒映着许多这种大叶子的湖水那里，发出声响，那是浮在湖水上层长着嘴找东西吃的鱼儿被到来的这一群人给惊动了，猛地潜入水底。

鱼尾巴甩出来的湖水落在一些低矮的、浮在水面上的圆叶子上面，顿时就幻化成了一粒粒美丽的珍珠，在上面慢慢的滚动，显得非常的漂亮。

来到湖水边上的韩成，看着眼前的景象，满面的笑容怎么忍都忍不住。

没有想到啊，真的是没有想到，心念念想了许久都一直没有遇上的莲藕，居然在这里，以一种极其意外的方式出现了！

而且还一下子出现了这么多！长势这样的喜人！

部落里又多了一种好吃的菜，而且还是蔬菜极为缺少的冬天可以吃的菜！

不论是什么食物，多出现一种，就能多养活一些人，使得部落里吃食变得更加丰富一些。

毕竟一个人每顿能吃的食物都是有限度的，多吃一口莲藕，就会少吃一些别的食物。

“神子，这是？”

到了这个时候，终于有人忍不住心中的好奇出声询问了，他们心里这会儿跟有一只毛茸茸的尾巴在那里不断撩拨一样。

“这是莲，又叫藕，还叫荷，还可以叫它芙蓉。”

心情大好的韩成笑着对部落里的众人说道。

这一连串没有听说过的名字冒出来，差点没把好奇不已的青雀部落众人给怼懵掉，啥玩意啊，这东西咋比被神子从奶茶妹改名为白雪妹的名字都要多啊！

“这可是一种好东西，好吃……”

这果然一种好吃的！

翘首以盼的青雀部落众人，在从韩成这里听到好吃两个字之后，顿时就兴奋了起来，作为一群资深吃货，没有什么比好吃的更为令他们感到兴奋的了。

“刺啦~”

韩成的话还没有说完，就有人伸手撕掉了一些莲叶往嘴里送，想要尝尝被神子说好吃的这种有很多名字东西的滋味。

滋味当然好不到哪里去，毕竟藕叶一般人家都是用铺锅，还有一些会用来泡茶喝，直接对着新鲜藕叶下嘴的，除了水里的鱼家里的羊之外，其余的韩成是真没有见过。

“好吃不？”

韩成看着那些个嘴里塞着藕叶的人，憋不住笑的问道。

“不、不好吃。”

有人回答，一边说还一边又嚼了几下嘴里的荷叶，神情显得有些呆滞。

“不好吃就对了！这个叶子本身就不好吃，下回把我的话听完再动作。”

这样的话一出口，这几个嘴里嚼着藕叶的人，一下子就羞愧的低下了头，再也不说话了。

有两个家伙更是悄悄的将嘴里的荷叶给硬生生的咽了下去，看的韩成又是想气又是想笑。

走到跟前对着这几个人一人屁股上来了两脚，并让没有来得及咽下的人，将口中的荷叶给吐出来。

明明是挨了脚，这些家伙们却反而变得轻松起来，脸上也有了笑容，不再如同刚才那样，如同犯了错误的小学生一般。

“这种东西，好吃的是不叶子，而是生长在水底下白白嫩嫩的根茎，挖出来之后，不论是切成片用热水滚了，调着吃，还是切成丁炖菜吃都非常的美味。

当然，最为美味还是把肉用刀剁碎，放上调料调好，用两片藕夹上一些肉馅，外面裹上一些面，放到烧开的油里面炸藕盒。

外面的面炸的金黄金黄的，里面的碎肉和藕片都被炸熟，咬上一口，面香、藕香和肉香混合在一起，那滋味……”

对那几个人稍稍的进行了惩罚之后，韩成开始对着他们放毒，一番莲藕的诸多吃法说出来之后，这些人一个个都是忍不住的大咽口水，看着生长在这里的这诸多的莲藕，一个个眼睛放光。

就连那几个刚刚被韩成用脚踹的家伙也是如此。

“神子，咱、咱挖藕吧！挖出来了就做藕盒吃！”

沙师弟伸手抹抹嘴角，看着韩成满是期盼的说道，他刚才可是被神子说的用油炸出来的藕盒馋的不轻。

“对，神子，咱挖藕吧！挖藕了做藕盒吃……”

其余人也纷纷出声。

韩成伸手擦擦嘴角，藕盒，他也想吃啊！做梦都想啊！可他喵的就是没有面啊!

从韩成这里得到答案之后，部落众人一个个都显得垂头丧气起来，是啊，他们刚才怎么忘记了神子还说了用面一裹呢！

这个小麦倒低是个什么东西？哪里才有生长？

如果知道哪里生长有小麦，沙师弟发誓，不管多远他都要将之弄到部落！

不仅仅是他，此时此刻在这里的青雀部落众人全都是这个想法。

因为除了刚刚的藕盒之外，他们已经从神子口中得知了不少吃起来非常非常美味的食物，但结果和刚才的藕盒一样，都是将他们馋的不行的时候，被神子告知没有面，做不出来。

对于一个吃货而言，最令人难受的事情莫过于此，比箭在弦上不得不发的时候，遇上亲戚造访都要令人倍感折磨。

得知了沙师弟他们的想法之后，韩成是举双手外加双脚的赞成。

不说是他们了，知道了小麦的消息之后，这样的事情韩成自己都能做的出来。

作为一个北方人，常年吃不到嘴里面食，那真的是一种折磨。

部落的黄豆，韩成也曾亲自动手将之磨碎，用木板和细麻布制成的面筛子给细细的筛出了豆面，并用和好之后极其粘手的豆面蒸了豆面馍，还贴了豆面饼。

那硬的能够砸死狗的馍还有饼子，吃到嘴里别提有多酸爽了。

如果不是想面食想的狠了，韩成说什么都下不去这个口。

众人一起在这里狠狠的对小麦表达了思念之情之后，韩成让人往这一片的莲藕丛里面使劲的丢了一些石头，并用棍子在岸边，狠狠的抽打了水面，等了一阵儿并没有什么异常动静出现之后，韩成就和一些人脱下鞋子，在距离岸边不远的浅水区摸藕。

随着众人的纷纷下手，岸边这一片的莲藕立刻就遭了殃，不少的藕杆都被折断或者是踩倒，看起来如同被野猪拱了一般。

如果一个爱荷之人至此，看到此情此景，一定会痛心疾首的对着韩成他们进行谴责。

韩成其实也是一个爱莲之人，不仅仅能够欣赏接天莲叶无穷碧，映日荷花别样红，还能欣赏莲叶何田田，鱼戏莲叶间，留的残荷听雨声的事情也能做的出来。

不过这些并不妨碍他兴致勃勃的摸藕，而且还一边用脚踩，一边交代众人怎么摸藕才能摸的更快更多。

可远观，不可亵玩，这样的事情在韩成这里是不存在的，毕竟下面长着的藕是那样的好吃。

韩成觉得，他这样的才算是真正的爱莲之人，不仅仅爱看生长着的莲，而且还喜欢吃下面生长的莲藕，可谓是爱的非常全面了。

藕生长的非常快，有荷花开放，并结出莲蓬的时候，下面的藕就已经长好了。

此时是初夏，莲花刚刚想要开放，不过下面的藕也已经基本长成了。

Han Cheng, barefoot, stepped hard on the mud below for a while and finally stepped on the lotus root hidden in the mud.

After stepping on it, Han Cheng did not bend down and pick it with his hands like the other people in the tribe, but continued to step on the mud underneath along the direction of the lotus root.

After stepping on it for a while, bend down and reach your hand into the water, and you can easily take out a lotus root, which is much faster than digging out mud with your hands.

And as you dig a lotus root, you will often encounter other surprises, that is, the rest of the lotus roots.

Because the lotus roots are in the mud, they are crisscrossed.

It is also because of this that when you touch the lotus root, you can feel a lot of lotus roots by stepping on a small area thoroughly.
