Song Mu picked up a full animal hide bag of fruit cores and carried it on his shoulder: "I'll take these today and try refining them when I get home."
Lin Qiu nodded.
"Do you want to play in the woods for a while?" Ling Yun asked.
"We can take a walk and pick some wild vegetables to eat."
Lin Qiu is now also very skeptical about the types of wild vegetables in the forest.
Although the Tiger Tribe Valley is not small, its area is very limited. Due to the activities of the Tiger Tribe orcs, the number of species in the valley has gradually become much smaller than that outside the valley.
Since Lin Qiu came to the Tiger Tribe, she had never been out before she became an adult, so she was very unfamiliar with the forest outside. The Tiger Tribe did not like to eat wild vegetables, so it was very likely that she missed out on a lot of delicious wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables that were transplanted back to the tribe last time have been harvested. Not only are they bigger than those grown on the mountain, they are also crispy and juicy. The female tigers have also begun to like eating vegetables. Every household has started to combine meat and vegetables in their diet, which is much healthier.
Lin Qiu thought it would be even better if he could find some edible vegetables to bring back and enrich everyone's diet.
"Xiao Qiu, what kind of dish are you looking for? I'll help you find it."
Lin Qiu was looking around aimlessly. She just thought that maybe she could come across some wild vegetables or vegetables that she had seen in Hongshi Village before.
"I don't know what to look for, but let's go for a walk. I want to see if there's anything I can use, whether it's food or clothing."
"Wear? We can already weave cotton yarn, make thorns, and breed colorful-winged butterflies. Is there anything else we can weave?"
"There is a plant whose fruit is furry, like a ball of cotton, white and fluffy like a flower. The fiber of this plant is softer than linen and more comfortable to wear when woven." Lin Qiu explained.
Ling Yun and Song Mu looked confused, obviously they had never seen anything like this.
Lin Qiu didn't hold out hope that she would find what she wanted. He simply said, "We don't have to worry about clothes right now. I still want to help everyone find some edible food to enrich everyone's variety. For example, nuts that squirrels eat are actually quite delicious when cracked open."
"So this can be eaten too?"
Song Mu tightened the animal skin bag around him.
"I don't think so. If it were edible, other omnivores would have eaten such a large core long ago," Lin Qiu guessed. "But let's take it home and try it. Maybe it's really delicious."
"If we can eat it, I suddenly feel reluctant to use it to make soap."
Ling Yun said.
Lin Qiu said, "If that's the case, we can find another replacement. Or we can plant more of these trees around the tribe. After a few years, we won't have to worry about it anymore."
"Let's go, let's keep looking." Song Mu bent down, picked up a thick-shelled seed, and handed it to Lin Qiu: "Xiao Qiu, take a look, is this a nut?"
Lin Qiu held it in front of his eyes and turned it on his fingers: "It should be. Let's take it back first."
Lin Qiu placed the seed in the palm of his hand.
"What is that?" Lin Qiu looked up and pointed into the distance.
Ling Yun and Song Mu looked towards the direction of her fingertip vigilantly, and saw what Lin Qiu was pointing at from afar, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Mu said, "Xiao Qiu, it's just a strangely beautiful flower. It's not dangerous."
Lin Qiu looked at the konjac that was as tall as a man, with the middle pointing straight to the sky like an Optimus Prime, surrounded by a wide layer of petals. The whole plant was a bright purple-red. Looking closely, he saw that several plants were hidden behind the shadows of trees in the distance.
She blinked in surprise: "That's it, dig!"
Song Mu helped Lin Qiu get off Ling Yun's back and said, "Let Ling Yun do the digging."
Ling Yun flicked his tail and walked over. "Is this something edible at the root? It's not dangerous, but it looks so bright, it must be poisonous."
"It's poisonous if you eat it directly, but it's fine after you prepare it. It's just like potatoes, so be careful when you dig it."
"Okay, no problem."
Ling Yun carefully used his claws to dig at the soil next to the konjac: "Xiao Qiu, are you sure? The root of this thing is much bigger than a potato!"
Ling Yun pulled out the whole konjac, and Lin Qiu was a little surprised.
This konjac plant is much larger than any she has seen before. She didn't expect the rhizome underground to be so big, as big as Ling Yun's beast-shaped head.
"What is this, Xiaoqiu? Can you really eat it? It's so big, it's enough to eat for several days."
Ling Yun calculated it based on the size of the potatoes. This one is equivalent to dozens of potatoes.
He poked it with his claws. The potato was bright yellow and looked like it was edible. The black surface was very uneven, as if it had circles of hair around it. His keen sense of smell also detected a bitter smell around it.
This doesn't look like something edible.
"able."
"Let's try it when we get back. You can eat it if you're okay." Song Mu said.
"Xiao Qiu, I'll go dig out the remaining few plants."
"Can we take it back?" They brought a hide bag and a backpack. The hide bag was already full, and the diameter of the backpack was not even as big as the konjac. They could carry one konjac back, but it would be difficult to transport if they dug too much.
"Don't worry, Xiaoqiu. I have a way."
Ling Yun said as he went over and dug out the four konjac plants in the distance, then tied the above-ground parts of the konjac plants together. "Xiao Qiu, don't you think we can drag them back now?"
Lin Qiu smiled and nodded: "Why didn't I think of it?"
"Come on, I'll pull this." Ling Yun changed into a beast again and held the middle of the konjac knot with his mouth.
Lin Qiu looked at Song Mu carrying a full bag and Ling Yun holding a large konjac in his mouth, and they were having difficulty moving in the forest, so he planned to go back early.
And they have already reaped a lot today.
Although she didn't find the food and cotton she wanted, Lin Qiu was very satisfied to have found these two things.
Konjac is a good thing. It has a strong sense of filling and tastes good. It is a good snack.
"Then let's go back to the tribe first."
Ling Yun and Song Mu changed direction and set off back towards the tribe.
"Chief, you are back!"
Qing Yuan's heart tightened when he heard the guard greeting Ling Yun from afar.
It’s over, it’s over, why did they come back so early!
Qing Yuan looked at the five cubs still rolling around in the mud, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He didn't expect that the tiger cubs' fur was different from that of the lion cubs. It was longer and softer, mixed in the mud. Now each of them had absorbed enough mud to become a mud doll.
He seems to be in trouble!
Qing Yuan wanted to quickly pick up the five cubs and take them to the river for a dip, but the five cubs were having a blast playing in the mud.
Shao Zheng and the others had never seen anything like this before! They were so engrossed in the fun that they forgot who they were.
They were having a great time when Qing Yuan came to catch them. They thought Qing Yuan was playing a hunting game with them.
