Chapter 461 Harvesting Purple Sweet Potatoes (2)
After dealing with the tissue on the ground of the purple sweet potato, the rest of the work becomes very simple - digging the purple sweet potato.
"Why are you digging in the soil?" Bai Qin, who had been watching Xia Tian making fire and digging the soil, was completely confused by her strange behavior.
How can a healthy female get food from the soil?
And, if he saw correctly, the vine she had just burned, that terrifying blue-purple color... must be devil grass?!
Judging from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like the kind of devil grass that grows freely in the wild, but... it's planted with a plan?
Why would she plant devil grass behind her own mountain? Could it be that he really saw it wrong?
"Hey, why are you here?" Xia Tian realized that Bai Qin had come to "inspect the work" again without knowing when, and was speechless for a moment. "Ah, I'm not digging the soil, I'm digging out food from the soil... Look, this is it."
As she spoke, she picked up a palm-sized purple sweet potato she had dug out of the soil and displayed it in front of Bai Qin. "This is it! It's a new food I've discovered. For an omnivorous orc like me, this provides a sufficient supply of calories. Don't underestimate it. I'm counting on eating this to get through the cold season."
"Is this... the food you found?" Bai Qin leaned in closer and saw that it was a hard lump with a rough surface covered in mud. "Food? I don't know if I saw it wrong just now. This should be devil grass, right?"
After all, he was the most authoritative witch doctor in the entire East Wild Continent. He was not yet so old that his eyesight was blurry. He was sure that what he had just seen was the vine of the devil grass.
But it was so weird to plant devil grass behind his own mountain that Bai Qin was unwilling to believe his eyes.
"This is indeed the rhizome of the devil grass. But the part I dug out is indeed the edible part." Xia Tian lowered his head and continued digging the soil with a calm expression.
She could hear the disbelief in Bai Qin's words, but she didn't care. "I know this is hard to accept...even hard to imagine, but it's true. I didn't expect this thing to be edible. Since food is so scarce in the winter, stocking up a little will also reduce the burden on Ah Ye."
“…” Bai Qin was speechless.
Xia Tian's words were well-reasoned and justified. It was not a sudden decision made on a whim, but was based on rigorous argumentation.
"You know more than I thought..." After a while, Bai Qin said, "Your tribe must be a very magical place, otherwise it wouldn't have raised someone like you."
He was now full of curiosity about Xia Tian's tribe. At the same time, he was also certain that the other tribe should have no intersection with their Snow Leopard tribe, and the things he was worried about should not happen.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush." Xia Tian straightened up from her work and gave him a look. "You're Aye's master. I'll respect you for his sake. But you're beating around the bush... what are you trying to find out? If you have any questions, just ask directly. Don't waste time beating around the bush like this."
In fact, it's not that she couldn't hear the temptation in Bai Qin's words, but she didn't say much because of face. However, her patience was limited.
She just wanted to live her own life and didn't want to spend so much time dealing with these worldly affairs.
