Chapter 212 Someone Made a Move
Ye Li, Li Sangtian and others searched through all the weeds in the vegetable garden, but they couldn't find a single sprouting vegetable.
"How could this happen?" Ye Li sat down on the ground exhausted. She couldn't understand why the rapeseed she brought didn't sprout. She had planted it in the safe house before, and it grew very well. She could harvest it in ten days or half a month.
"Alas..." Li Sangtian also sighed heavily. He also had some knowledge of agriculture and knew Ye Li's true ability. He said, "Let's get up first. Maybe in a day or two, the seeds will sprout. Let's not rush. Even if we don't have time to harvest, Li Yuan and the others will go to the farming tribe in a few days to exchange for food. The food we get back will be enough to get us through the winter. If all else fails, we can still go hunting in the woods. After all, we won't starve to death."
"I hope so." Ye Li stood up with his hands on the ground, clapped his hands, and then walked towards Xiaomu and Xixi.
When Xiaomu and Xixi saw their mother coming, they immediately shouted, "Mom, come and see the castle my brother and I built. Is it beautiful?"
Ye Li walked closer with a smile. She didn't expect the two kids to be so skilled at making castles. They built a castle that looked really nice. "It looks really nice!"
"Haha..." Xiaomu and Xixi smiled happily after receiving the praise.
Ye Li looked at their happy smiles, and her worries disappeared instantly. Even for the sake of her children, she had to live strong and continue to persevere.
"Okay! Go wash your hands, we should go back." Ye Li looked at the sunset in the sky. The evening wind started to blow and the weather became colder. She hugged her arms and waited for her free time to take out Xiaomu and Xixi's winter clothes to dry in the sun to get rid of the moldy smell.
Xiaomu and Xixi ran to a small ditch nearby to wash their hands. Xiaowei saw them and went to help them with a smile.
Ye Li stood in place and flattened the soil around the castle with his feet to make the castle look better.
Suddenly, Ye Li saw a seed in the soil. These two guys actually dug out the seed buried in the soil.
Ye Li bent down and reached out to pick the seed out of the mud. She looked at the seed in surprise. Why didn't the seed show any signs of germination? It was as if it was dead.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind!
Ye Li quickly took the seeds to the ditch and washed them clean. Then she bit the seeds with her teeth, crushed them, and spread them out in her palm to look at them.
She was shocked and stunned. These...these seeds are ripe!
The seeds I planted were actually cooked! No wonder they didn't sprout!
Are all the seeds planted ripe?
"Uncle Li, come here quickly!" Ye Li quickly waved to Li Sangtian who was about to leave to come over.
Li Sangtian heard it and came running over, followed by his two assistants.
"Look, the seeds are ripe. I wonder who did this!" Ye Li said, "Let's dig out the other seeds and see if they are ripe too."
"Okay." Li Sangtian nodded seriously and immediately ordered: "You two, dig as many seeds as you can on one side of the field."
After saying that, Li Sangtian quickly took a shovel and started digging.
Ye Li, Xiao Wei and others also helped.
Soon, they dug out a small pile of seeds, washed them in a small ditch, and then bit open them one by one to examine them.
"They are all ripe seeds!" Li Sangtian said in disbelief.
Ye Li quickly proved his innocence: "The seeds I brought are absolutely 100% capable of germinating, otherwise why would I carry them with me?"
"Of course I believe you," Li Sangtian said. "These beans were saved by our tribe, and they are ripe. This means someone tampered with them."
"What should we do then?" Ye Li asked, "Except for those that can't be planted in this season, all that can be planted is now ruined."
"Let's not alert the enemy yet," Li Sangtian said. "Let's go and discuss this with the Great Elder and see what he thinks."
After Li Sangtian finished speaking, he glanced at Xiaowei, Xiaomu and the others.
Xiao Wei quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Xiaomu and Xixi also hurriedly said: "We must keep it a secret."
Everyone wrapped the seeds in cloth and walked out of the farm towards the residence of the great elder.
