Chapter 297: Collecting Potatoes (1/2)



As expected, Guoguo couldn't get up on the second day, and it was hard to say what would happen on the third and fourth days.

Jiaojiao wanted to go with them. She had not left the tribe since she became pregnant, but she could not leave now. The two elephant cubs were still breastfeeding, and her milk supply was often swollen. Once the cubs grew older and had teeth, she would be able to be freer.

Shu Yue went to collect potatoes with a mission this time. She was going to lead the females to dig potatoes, and then plant them in the tribe after returning. She would first see the harvest situation. If it was good, she would open up a piece of land to grow vegetables, corn, etc.

In order to prevent attacks by fallen orcs, the number of females going out to collect is less than half of the previous number. The fewer people there are, the easier it is for the males to protect them.

Since Dajiao's weight reached 500 kilograms, the increase has not been very obvious. After all, he is only a few months old. He will slowly gain weight as he gets older, and the weight explosion period should be one or two years before he reaches adulthood.

Shu Yue didn't know how old the dinosaurs were to become adults, so while Wen Te could still move them around, the family decided to go out for a walk more often.

If you don't come for a few days, the grass will grow tall and dense, and the leaves on the trees will be so many that they can block out the light, truly blocking out the sun.

Dajiao likes this kind of environment, where there is endless food to eat. The only thing that troubles him is that his family members don’t like to eat it very much. They are too picky and only eat a few kinds of food. No wonder his mother and aunt are so thin.

With Da Jiao clearing the way, the mountain road became much easier to walk on. Shu Yue taught everyone how to identify potato leaves. As long as you see that kind of leaves, you can dig out potatoes from underneath.

After the explanation, the females dispersed to collect, with males following them. Went patrolled the sky with his children and several males.

Shu Yue dug out a large potato with a machete and beckoned Da Jiao to come over. "Da Jiao, I need your help with something."

When Da Jiao heard this, he walked over and rubbed his head against her, as if asking, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"

Shu Yue showed the potatoes to Da Jiao, "Da Jiao, let's play a game. Can you help me find potatoes?"

Dajiao seemed to understand what his mother asked him to do, but he just did it. Later, he knew how to play.

Shu Yue followed Da Jiao to pack potatoes. Da Jiao found them very quickly as he was very sensitive about plants.

They were always within Wente's patrol area, and safety was their top priority when they were out.

The morning's collection went smoothly. Everyone harvested several baskets of wild vegetables and potatoes. Shu Yue had been walking for the whole morning and was now sitting on Dajiao's back to rest, waiting to fill her stomach before continuing.

Xiaobei was playing on the grass nearby, while Dabao followed the others to collect firewood.

The grass here was flattened by the orcs, and everyone stayed here to rest. Some went hunting for food, while others prepared firewood and made a fire to cook.

Wente poured the potatoes she picked up from the basket into the net bag. The net bag was a later improved version with small mesh. As long as it was not too small, basically nothing would leak out.

Shu Yue was eating some unknown wild fruits, some sour and some sweet. She took a bite of the sweet ones and ate them herself, and gave the sour ones to Da Jiao. Da Jiao lay on the ground and ate with his eyes squinted.

Compared to sweet food, it prefers sour food. Every time it finishes eating sour fruit, it can eat more grass next time. Mom really loves it and leaves all the delicious food for it.

Unfortunately, Shu Yue didn't know its true thoughts. Once, she accidentally saw Da Jiao eating sour fruit, and thought it liked sour food, so she left all the sour food to it. She liked sweet food, so there was no conflict.

"It's so well behaved~" I don't know when the lark came over.

She had nothing to do today so she thought of going out to get some fresh air and pick some fresh wild fruits and vegetables to eat. Unexpectedly, Shu Yue was there too, along with the kid they raised. She felt a little excited.
