Chapter 218 Finding Corn



Song Mu took a photo near where they were fighting, and actually found a pile of snow that had been pushed open, revealing traces of the original ground.

Here, some vegetation as tall as a person is buried in the snow. They are thin and straight. Some are standing upright, while others have fallen down and are already withered and yellow.

Its fruit was bitten out. Song Mu remembered that Lin Qiu had described a food that was very similar to this one, with many yellow grains growing on a stick.

Song Mu's heart tightened. He didn't bring any animal skin bag with him, so he quickly took some and stuffed it into the body of the prey and dragged it back to the tribe.

If it is really the food that Lin Qiu described, she will probably be very happy to see it. If it is difficult to find it here, she will have to find it along the way.

Although Song Mu had a tailwind on his way back, it was more difficult because he was dragging the huge prey. However, he did not dare to stop for a moment, because he did not have to grope around, and he actually went faster.

When he arrived at the tribe gate, he put down his prey and ran back home quickly with only the corn.

"Xiao Qiu! I'm back and I have something to show you."

Song Mu washed the blood off the corn with the accumulated snow outside and asked Ling Yun to take it to Lin Qiu to see. "I'm all cold, I'll go back in later. Ask Xiao Qiu if this is the corn she was talking about."

Song Mu asked Ling Yun to find him a thicker piece of animal skin to wear.

"What corn? Bring it here to me!" Lin Qiu had been depressed at home for many days, and he became interested after hearing Song Mu's words.

"It's a little dirty. I'll put it on the table for you." Ling Yun showed Lin Qiu the corn that Song Mu brought back, and Lin Qiu's eyes immediately lit up.

Although this corn cob is only the size of a fist and the grains are sparse and irregular, it is already very good to grow like this due to the severe drought last year.

Corn is a high-yield crop with higher nutritional value than potatoes. It is also more filling when eaten. It is also easy to grow and can be planted twice a year.

"This is it, this is corn!"

Song Mu heard Lin Qiu's affirmative answer from outside, so he said, "There's a piece like this over there. I'll have someone bring the rest back."

"Song Mu, come in and rest for a while. It's okay to wait two days before going."

Lin Qiu hadn't seen Song Mu for several days, and she felt sorry for him for having to work hard outside these days. The wind was howling outside, and she could hear the wind outside just at home, as if it was going to blow the roof off. It must be even colder outside.

Song Mu curled his lips slightly and leaned over the thick animal skin curtain: "My prey is still at the entrance of the tribe. I'll move it back first, wash it, and then come in."

"Then hurry up." Lin Qiu instructed.

After Song Mu came back, Lin Qiu became more energetic and Ling Yun could breathe a sigh of relief. He finally understood the fear and worry of taking care of Lin Qiu alone at home.

Ling Yun rubbed Lin Qiu's head and picked up the dirty corn: "Song Mu will bring the prey in later, and I will go to clean it up. You haven't seen him for a long time, so you should have a good talk with him."

Lin Qiu also said to Ling Yun, "You've worked hard too. I wonder what kind of prey Song Mu brought back. I'm tired of eating beef stew with potatoes lately."

"How do you eat this? Boil it in water? I'll make it for you in a moment." Ling Yun held the corn cob.

"It should have been dried out and can't be boiled in water. Grind it into powder, then mix it with water. Then use your finger to make a hole in the bottom and steam it in a pot, just like steaming konjac."
