Chapter 213 Hidden Enemy
"Great Elder, look, these are the seeds we dug out of the soil. They were steamed before they were planted." Ye Li took out the seeds from the cloth bag and showed them to the Great Elder: "When we planted them, we didn't expect this to happen, and we didn't check carefully. That's why after such a long time, these seeds haven't sprouted."
The Great Elder examined the seeds one by one, his face filled with disbelief: "Why did it become like this?"
Li Sangtian said, "There are also rapeseeds left here from our tribe, and they have also been destroyed. I'm afraid someone in the tribe did this on purpose."
"Could it be those people from the mountaintop tribe?"
"That's impossible," Li Sangtian said. "They just arrived and were captured not long after. How could they have the time to destroy the seeds?"
"It seems there are still enemies hiding in our tribe."
Ye Li said, "We can put the matter of ferreting out the enemy on hold for a while. The most important thing now is to find replacement seeds and plant them in the fields as soon as possible. Otherwise, what will everyone eat in winter?"
The elder thought for a moment and said, "In a couple of days, Li Yuan will take his men to the farming tribe to exchange for food. I'll ask him to get some seeds. Once they come back, we'll immediately turn the soil and replant."
Ye Li thought of Shi Qi and others whom she met when she fled. If she hadn't misunderstood her, her family would probably be in the farming tribe now.
Long time no see, wonder how they are doing now.
Ye Li asked the Great Elder: "Can I go with you?"
"If you want to go, just tell Li Yuan." The Great Elder said loudly, "Come, go and call Li Yuan for me."
"Yes, Great Elder."
Soon, Li Yuan strode into the tree house and called out respectfully, "Great Elder, what is it that you called me here for?"
"In two days, it will be time to exchange food with the Farmland Tribe. When you go, besides exchanging some food, you can also exchange some seeds." The elder gestured to Ye Li and said, "Ye Li will come with us."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded readily: "I understand. Ye Li will come with me. I will definitely protect her."
The forest in autumn is bleak, the wind is howling, and the leaves are falling down with a rustling sound.
Li Yuan, Ye Li and a group of people pushed carts or carried loads on their shoulders, walked through the forest and headed towards the farming tribe.
The frame of the cart was filled with plump chestnuts and a large pile of hunted prey.
Everyone was chatting happily, waiting to exchange delicious seasonal vegetables when they arrived at the farming tribe.
"Yuan, let's exchange some wheat flour later. We can use it to make a lot of pasta, which will make breakfast easier for us." The middle-aged man pushing the cart said with a simple smile, "My wife can bake bread, make buns, and even noodles with it. Our two little ones love it."
"Okay, I'll definitely get you more wheat flour." Li Yuan responded readily.
"Yuan boy, please bring back some more cabbages. My family plans to pickle them and eat them when winter comes."
"no problem."
It took them a whole morning to reach the territory of the farming tribe. From a distance, a huge tribe surrounded by two-meter-high wooden fences appeared before their eyes.
"Is this the farming tribe?" Ye Li was here for the first time and was curious about what he saw.
"Yes." Li Yuan said, "Everyone, be smart later. The Farmland Tribe is governed by the people of the Hilltop Tribe, and those people in the Hilltop Tribe are not good people."
"I understand." Ye Li nodded. She stretched out her hand and continued to help everyone push the cart forward.
