Savage Fortune Little Landlord

Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Potential Crisis

Children always have a lot to say.

In the past, no one would care about the children's muttering, let alone care about it.

Not today.

It's been too long.

Grandpa Kezi, who had waited and waited for him to come back, lost his patience. He didn't wait for Heishi to agree with Xia Weiwei, and called out directly: "Ah Que, what do you have to say later..."

"Uncle Kezi, let Ah Que eat something first." Aoki interrupted.

He was also anxious, but the child was very tired, not to mention letting her rest earlier, at least let her eat first.

Opened his mouth, Grandpa Kezi shut up, thinking "I don't know if the child has eaten at noon".

Showing a grateful look to Grandpa Kezi, stood up, Aoki who was about to ask the child about the harvest today, and Xia Weiwei who turned back after hearing the news met their eyes.

The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he pulled out a warm gesture: "Your brother Heishi has been roasting for a long time, and it should be cooked."

"Black Stone." He urged.

"Oh." Heishi nodded, who hastily calmed down.

Not caring about the black stone that was rushing to dig the firepit, Xia Weiwei's eyes turned on the faces of Grandpa Kezi and Aoki.

Aoki concealed it very well, there was no abnormality, but Grandpa Kezi was different, with a look of anxiety on his old face.

'Wouldn't it be two people talking together and finding it better to maintain the status quo? '

A thought flashed across Xia Weiwei's heart.

Not wanting to continue their precarious life, she hurriedly grabbed hay.

"Give it to me directly." Holding the lotus root bag on hay, she looked at Grandpa Kezi without even looking at it.

Seeing this, Grandpa Ke Zi was thinking that A Que is a sensible kid, so he shouldn't delay too much. Seeing this, he hurriedly got up: "Go behind the tent, go behind the tent."

The old and the young all moved, and it was useless to say what Aoki said, he raised his eyebrows and lit a lamp before chasing the two of them to the back of the tent.

Knowing that Aoki loves her dearly, Xia Weiwei put down the lotus root bag and quickly opened it.

While blowing and eating, she also waited.

Xia Weiwei thought that if Grandpa Kezi was in such a hurry, he would definitely say this right away.But he didn't expect that she ate three lotus roots in a row, and the old man didn't even open his mouth.

Picking up another section of lotus root, she didn't rush to eat it, but raised her eyes to look at the old man.

Heartbroken, dizzy from hunger, starvation should not happen, Grandpa Kezi said: "Are you sure there is something else that can replace the lotus root?"

"Fern root." Xia Weiwei replied directly.

fern root.

Fern or fern tree?

No, he shouldn't know that...
However, Grandpa Kezi wanted to make sure he heard correctly in the morning: "..."

Just about to tell the child that this thing cannot be told to anyone, and if it is not necessary in the future, it will be robbed, and Aoki must not touch it: "······"

As if he didn't feel the stagnant air around the two of them, Xia slightly opened his mouth and smiled silly: "It's the root of the fern. The fern is much more powerful than the lotus. From the grass marsh to the hot spring, it is everywhere. I really don't care about us." If there is an accident there, it can be found as quickly as possible.”

Lotus roots occupy at most two-thirds of their migration journey, but ferns are different, that is, they are everywhere in summer gathering places.

Not to mention, compared to lotus root, this fern is really more suitable as a secret weapon.

As if feeling that the two of them didn't believe it, Xia Weiwei gradually put away her smile and showed a nervous expression: "Aunt Qingmu, Grandpa Kezi, you have to trust me, I won't lie to you, although fern roots are different from lotus roots, But in the fern root there is also..."

"Stop." In a hurry, Grandpa Kezi interrupted Xia Weiwei to continue revealing.

Trying my best to suppress the fern root that came up in my mind, whether to eat it raw or cooked, what's in the fern root, raised my hand, pressing on the temple, Grandpa Ke Zi wanted to cry without tears: "Ah Que, Grandpa I don't believe you, I just want to make sure Grandpa heard correctly in the morning."

Secretly poked, poked, beeped and said, "I'm not afraid that I won't know the bottom, you suspect." Xia Wei blinked his eyes, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Uncle Kezi, you and I are not someone else." Reassuring the old man, Aoki turned around and said seriously: "Ah Que, the matter with this fern root is the same as the lotus root that your father told you before, you must take good care of it." on."

With the lotus root in front, neither Aoki nor Grandpa Kezi have any doubts about whether the rhizome of fern can be eaten.

At this moment, the two people were only worried that Xia Weiwei was not strong enough to bear it, and accidentally revealed this secret weapon again.

No, it was only after Aoki finished speaking that Grandpa Ke followed immediately without waiting for Xia Weiwei to respond.

Said: "Ah Que, the people of our tribe are only the most in this grassy swamp. If they come out of the grassy swamp, that many people can destroy our tribe. The women and children in our tribe all depend on you, but why are there people now? If you catch fish with a fishing rod and eat lotus roots, there will be no shortage of food, so you must not tell it."

With limited memory and many things that adults would not tell their children, Xia Weiwei asked, "Are other tribes really that dangerous to us?"

"Of course it's true." Without even thinking about it, Grandpa Kezi yelled out: "If it's not for fear, you and I, Aoki, would still need to worry about our getting fat?"

Opening his mouth, Aoki wanted to take over from Grandpa Kezi and tell the child about the dangers of other tribes to his own tribe, but he opened his mouth before he could utter the words, but the child who couldn't help but asked again: "Do you know that we didn't eat this year?" Yes, will other tribes come to clean us up?"

Obviously it was a very concise question, but after Xia Weiwei said this, the expressions of Aoki and Grandpa Kezi changed obviously.

In the flickering light and shade of the fire, the two collapsed and drooped their shoulders.

"Will it be?" Xia Weiwei didn't give up.

Looking at each other, Aoki smiled wryly: "Ah Que, we came back late this year, the food must be insufficient, and those who are short of food usually don't abide by the stopover agreement."

"From the perspective of other tribes, we will definitely destroy the tranquility of the grass marsh this year. At this time, most tribes have already started to move..."

Because they were afraid that their tribe would plunder other tribes during the severe winter, the other ten tribes on the grassy swamp would not say all join forces, at least they would hold together in groups of three or four.

In order to reduce their own losses, preemptive strikes are necessary.

On that day, everyone discussed and decided that when the swans came, they would use fire to communicate with Lianbe and Matsube, so that they could stand on the same level as their own tribes.

But now, the two of them feel that the lotus root must be revealed, and all the ethnic groups on the grassy swamp must know.

Adequate food can not only strengthen the physique of men, but also increase the fertility rate of women.

To put it simply, eating more has a vital impact on the long-term development of the tribe.

"Ah Que, let's not only tell Lianbe and Matsube about this lotus root, but also tell the other eight, so that we won't be an unexpected existence when we gather in the summer gathering area next year." Heavy, Aoki concluded.
