Hearing this, the group nodded. They could dig cellars for food, which was something Haitang had taught them. Under these circumstances, Ximing sat alone outside.
"Do you want to keep that female?" the elder asked, looking at Ximing. Ximing was slightly taken aback when he heard this. "I can tell."
"I do want to, but no one else could be here. Didn't you see? Haitang and Yueyue, they look like they were raised in a large tribe. Although they carry good things when they go out, they can't bite off more than they can chew..." Let's forget about it.
At least in this situation of eating, it's a good thing that Haitang told them. If she wanted to eat even more, the final outcome might be counterproductive.
Hearing this, the elder nodded. "Yes, I was worried you might go astray. It's good that way. That girl is not someone our tribe can keep."
When Haitang arrived, she understood that her tribe could not allow her to stay. "You should send someone to make contact with them. If they are generous, you can bring back some gifts as a token of your appreciation."
"Okay, I understand. I'll take her out for a walk tomorrow and see if we can find anything else to eat," Lizard Ming said. Since he couldn't keep Haitang around, he would try to get her to tell him about more food options.
Anyway, Haitang can't be taken away from the tribe. "Well, take that piece of cloth tomorrow as a thank you gift. You should get something in return for asking someone to do something for you," the elder said, looking at Ximing.
"Yes, Elder..." Upon hearing this, Xi Ming nodded and went to find Haitang to follow Yueyue the next day.
"Take us around?" Upon hearing this, Haitang and the others couldn't help but be surprised, but they nodded in agreement.
As they looked around, Haitang understood what Lizard Ming was asking: "You mean, let me see what else is edible?"
“That is indeed the case, and we will repay you handsomely.” Haitang came from a large tribe and discovered that there should be more food available than in their tribe.
Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded and said, "Okay, I can tell you." Haitang nodded, saying it didn't matter.
Meanwhile, Haitang looked around and said, "This thing is edible too." Hearing this, Ximing paused for a moment, then dug it out. "It's a potato..."
"It has eaten dead people." Upon hearing this, Xi Ming spoke up. People had died from these potatoes during droughts. Hearing this, Haitang nodded.
“I know that eating it raw can easily kill people. Also, you can’t eat it when it’s sprouted, as that can also kill you. If you ignore those two points, it’s perfectly fine once it’s cooked. Go and gather some firewood,” Haitang said.
Xi Ming glanced at Hai Tang and nodded. Hai Tang started roasting potatoes. The roasted potatoes tasted delicious. Xi Ming swallowed and watched Hai Tang and the others eat, so he ate some too.
Thinking that Haitang herself was eating it, she figured it was unlikely she was lying, so she started eating. It tasted great, "Delicious..."
“There are plenty of things to eat here. This area has a lot of water. Beyond this place is the desert, but you can grow your own crops. Since these things can grow, it means that potatoes are suitable for growing here.”
Haitang spoke up, and Ximing nodded when he heard this. After eating, Haitang got up and looked around, then started looking around again.
Xi Ming learned today that many things are edible, and his heart was filled with excitement. He also sent some good things to Haitang.
In this small branch, people began to collect food. When Haitang saw this, she asked, "Are you going out in the middle of the night?"
“Well, you don’t know, a sandstorm will blow this way in a few days. Wild animals won’t dare to come out, and there’s even less food to eat. We also can’t go out to find food, so we can only store it in advance,” Lizard Ming said, looking at the crabapple tree.
"Oh, by the way, I can also teach you how to preserve meat," Haitang said. Upon hearing this, Ximing was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded to indicate that he wanted to learn.
Haitang taught Ximing that Ximing was not an ungrateful person. If Ximing had schemed against her, Haitang would not have been foolish enough to teach him. She was not stupid.
Under these circumstances, when Haitang looked at Ximing, she began to teach Sausage and Cured Meat. The members of the small branch admired Haitang even more, and at this time, the members of the small branch did not tell Haitang to go out.
In fact, Haitang discovered that the smaller branches here cared more about their own group than the development of the tribe. In Yueyue's words, "These people probably formed a group from the beginning, and in this situation, they would consider the interests of their own group first, rather than the tribe."
Hearing this, Haitang nodded. "Our tribe is doing well," Haitang said, because Shi Hu had managed Huoqiu well since the beginning, and no small cliques had formed.
Even if there are small groups now, they have been brainwashed into protecting the tribe. Haitang doesn't think these people are wrong. Every tribe has its own way of surviving.
Haitang had been staying here for five days when the sandstorm arrived. After the sandstorm, Haitang and the others stayed in their room, which was sunken in a pit with a roof built on top so that it wouldn't be easily blown off.
Haitang and the others were in the room, and through the cracks they could see, the whistling wind made everyone feel a little chilly.
