You Ran led the group directly to the place where she and Xiao Mei and the others had dug Jerusalem artichokes yesterday.
Pointing to a large patch of plants in front of him: "Look, that's it!"
Wow, so many!
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "This should be enough for us to eat all winter!"
"cut!"
However, Lu Bai stood in the middle of the crowd, his face looking very unpleasant.
Looking at her specially grown long fingernails, she was very reluctant to come here to work.
She wouldn't have wanted to come if the clan leader hadn't made the request!
Mu Youran, Xiaomei, and Caixia demonstrated how to dig, and then everyone spontaneously divided into small groups to start digging.
Xiaomei and Caixia had agreed to have dinner at Youran's house, but Youran fainted halfway there, so they didn't get to eat at all.
However, seeing that You Ran had made it, they wanted to try it too, so they made some when they got back.
It has a sweet and refreshing taste, which is quite nice.
Xiaomei, in particular, loves sweets the most. When she saw Jerusalem artichokes covering the mountain, she wished she could dig them all up and take them home.
"I'm going to pack a lot to take back today."
"That's right, me too. Last night, my little one ate several of them in one go."
Caixia dug diligently, but she had no choice; she had a picky eater at home who would complain terribly whenever it was time to eat meat.
It's a good thing it was born in spring; if it were in winter, with this problem, it would have starved to death long ago.
The clan chief also lay on the ground, digging with his hands and prying with a stick.
Once you dig through the mud, you'll find this stuff underneath.
If we could take all of these back, this year would be much easier!
Just as everyone was excitedly digging for Jerusalem artichokes, a painful scream suddenly came from the crowd.
"Ah~ my hand!"
Upon hearing the sound, Mu Youran quickly ran over and saw Lu Bai tightly gripping his hand, with blood already seeping from between his fingers.
"Let me see, what's wrong?"
Lu Bai hated Mu Youran to the core. If Mu Youran hadn't insisted on digging for this thing, she wouldn't have come along.
If I hadn't come along, I wouldn't have hurt my hand.
Now you're pretending to ask, but the pain in your fingers is unbearable.
A surge of anger immediately erupted within him.
"It's none of your business. You're just being hypocritical and have ulterior motives!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiaomei was the first to object.
She hates Lu Bai for hooking up with Hei Mao, and now she's slandering You Ran here.
I already harbored resentment, and I could no longer suppress it.
"What are you saying? Is it wrong for You Ran to care about you?"
"You Ran, let's just ignore her and let her suffer the pain to death!"
The other females who were originally going to help saw that even someone as gentle as You Ran had been rebuked, so they didn't want to provoke her.
They didn't want to get scolded, so they just stood by and watched the show.
The clan chief rushed over to check on the situation, and Lu Bai reluctantly revealed his bloody wound.
It turned out that my fingernail was too long and broke while I was digging!
"You should go back quickly and have the priestess help you deal with it."
He knew that females were delicate, but he didn't expect Lu Bai to be so delicate that something went wrong as soon as she started working.
Upon hearing that he could go back, Lu Bai was overjoyed. He stood up, abandoned his basket, and ran straight home.
She doesn't want to stay here.
"Tch, what kind of person is he? He got injured and ran away before the game even started!"
Xiao Mei rolled her eyes at Lu Bai, and the others were also unhappy. Everyone was working, so why was she allowed to go home?
Although the hand was injured and bleeding, they could see clearly that it started bleeding and then stopped.
By the time they get back, their wounds will probably have healed.
The females often go out to collect things, and who hasn't been injured? It's too dramatic to go back after such a minor injury.
Those nails are so long, they definitely don't look like hands used for manual labor!
To prevent this from happening, the clan chief spoke up.
"All females, check your own nails. Don't let them grow too long. If they're too long, use a knife or your teeth to cut them off to avoid getting hurt later."
Xiaomei and Caixia looked at their fingernails, which were completely bare. They often did manual labor, and their fingernails were always trimmed at home with a razor.
The same goes for You Ran; Huang Yu always carefully trims her fingernails and toenails, making them perfectly round and smooth.
Soon, mountains of Jerusalem artichokes were piled up on the ground, and the males began to transport them into the tribe, while the females continued to soak them.
With dozens of people working together, including males, they harvested all the Jerusalem artichokes in one day.
Mu Youran initially squatted on the ground, but later she got too tired and simply did what Xiaomei and the others did, sitting on the ground to dig.
After a busy day, as the sun set, I slowly stood up and rubbed my aching back.
"So tired~"
"Yeah, you bet! I'm going to take a bath when I get home tonight!"
Xiaomei was so tired that she could barely walk.
Fortunately, they were all young, and they got used to it after standing up and taking a few steps.
Back home, he put down his basket, walked to the stone vat filled with water, scooped out a large cup with a bamboo tube, and gulped it down before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Being a farmer is really tiring!
She sat down at the stone table to rest for a while before cooking, but when she looked around, she felt that things had changed.
She stood up and looked around. None of the pottery that had been placed in the cave was left!
Mu Youran stared in disbelief at the entire cave. Apart from a cup with a phoenix feather still on the table, everything else was gone.
Even her bedpan at night is gone!
"Could it be that a thief broke into the house?"
Thinking of this, she immediately ran to the wooden crates next to her, opened them, and took a look!
Sure enough, they were all gone, even Huang Yu's seashells were all gone, leaving only a few empty boxes!
This was all their possessions, and now it's all gone!
Mu Youran dared not imagine what would happen to them this winter!
He turned around and immediately ran to find Huang Yu.
