The Caveman Made Me Awesome

The sun is getting higher and the air is getting hotter.

The ground is hot from the sun, and walking on it with bare feet is not very pleasant, Ye Xi thought, she must make shoes when she has a chance.

Ye Xi didn't hold anything except a handful of bones. The wild boar was carried by cones and warehouse pans. This does not mean that they consider him to be young and considerate of him. How can people who eat meat be considerate of food when they want to kill him? Woolen cloth.

Mainly because he disliked Ye Xi's small arms and calves that looked like firewood sticks, for fear that he would slow down the journey by carrying heavy objects. Besides, for the two cones and warehouse pans, this weight is basically negligible.

Hot weather.

The sun is about to bake the land to death.

Along the way, many trees were dying from the sun, their leaves were yellow and brittle, and there were even many rotting animal carcasses—but these corpse cones and warehouse pans were invisible.

Ye Xi thought, these primitive people eat human flesh but do not eat rotten animal carcasses. It seems that they already know that rotting animal carcasses will make them sick.

Ye Xi wiped the sweat on his forehead from time to time, and after drinking wild boar blood to replenish his water, his body gradually began to sweat.

Cone: "How far is it?"

Now it is about four miles beyond the range of the tribe. If you go further afield, the danger of picking will increase, which is almost the same as the danger of hunting, which is very uneconomical for the tribe.

Ye Xi looked around and thought about it, "It's just ahead."

Cone stopped talking. Ever since Ye Xi taught them how to pack their bags, Ye Xi felt that their attitude towards him was slightly different. If it was before, he might have scolded him long ago.

After passing through a dense fern, Ye Xi: "Wait."

The two stopped and turned to look at him.

Ye Xi bent down and pushed aside the tall fern, only to see inconspicuous green heart-shaped leaves growing on the ground.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, he squatted down and started to dig the soil with the bones in his hands.

Cone and Cangpan looked at each other, is this the edible plant he was talking about? The known usable plants of the tribe are either the fruit from the tree or the seeds, and I have never heard of them being dug out of the ground.

Is he kidding them? The eyes of the two of them were faintly burning with anger.

The people of the Tushan tribe were fooled by this captive boy!

Ye Xi didn't notice anything, squatting and digging the soil happily. He had never been so grateful to him for living in the countryside for a while when he was a child, and letting him know some common crops. This body had seen this thing in the original memory, how could Ye Xi think that this thing was a common sweet potato in the countryside!

The sweet potato stems were buried deep, and Ye Xi saw that he was almost digging, so he grabbed the sweet potato leaves and pulled them hard!

Sit deeply and squat, but at the same time brought out a long string of red, plump sweet potato rhizomes!

Great! Sure enough, sweet potatoes!

Cangpan and Cone's high anger stopped for a while, and they were stunned when they looked at the string of things. How could such a long string of things be dug out of the ground.

The cone looked at the bright red skin of the sweet potato and asked hesitantly, "...Is this edible?" The brighter the color, the more poisonous it is.

Ye Xi dug out the sweet potato and the corners of his mouth curved in a good mood. If he eats this large bunch of sweet potatoes alone, he will definitely be able to eat it for a whole day. This thing is starch and has a great ability to resist hunger.

His stomach is starting to get hungry. You know, he didn't eat anything yesterday, and he just ate a fruit this morning.

Ye Xi glanced at Cone.

Cone inexplicably saw the contempt from the inside.

The next second, Ye Xi saw Ye Xi break off a piece from a bunch of sweet potatoes, and said lightly, "Alright."

The skin of the sweet potato was still smooth, and at this time, he couldn't pay much attention to it. Ye Xi wiped it with his hands, and the dry soil was wiped off, revealing the beautiful red skin.

Ye Xi opened his mouth wide.

He took a bite directly at the sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes are usually eaten cooked, but they can also be eaten raw. They are not poisonous, but the taste is not as sweet after being heated at high temperature, and it is not easy to digest.

The sweet potato was missing a mouth, revealing the milky white core, and the white translucent juice overflowed from the gap.

Ye Xi chewed the sweet potato contentedly, and the sweet and crisp feeling filled his mouth. I wonder if the ancient sweet potato grew particularly well, and the sweetness of this raw one is no less than that of the cooked one.

Cone and Cangpan swallowed as they watched him look contented. Is it really so delicious?

It seems... nice?

Looking at Ye Xi's crisp bite after bite, Cone Xian couldn't help it: "Give me one too!" Since this kid grew up eating this stuff before, it shouldn't be poisonous.

Ye Xi broke off a sweet potato and threw it to him.

The cone smeared the soil twice, and then took a bite.

In the next second, the refreshing, sweet and crunchy taste conquered him, and Cone narrowed his eyes, "Cangpan, it's actually not bad, sweet and delicious."

Cangpan hesitated for a while, and said to Ye Xi, "Give me one too."

...

The three of them ended up eating a whole bunch of sweet potatoes.

Ye Xi licked the corner of his mouth, touched his belly, and was full.

Cone happily said: "This thing is good and not bad, and one plant is as big as a bunch. Let's dig more and bring it back to the tribe."

The warehouse nodded.

Below this fern, there are many plants with such heart-shaped leaves, needless to say, there are plump sweet potatoes underneath.

Of the three, only Ye Xi had a bone scorpion that could be used as a digging tool. The others, a spear and a stone knife, were not suitable for digging.

Ye Xi saw that the gaps between their fingernails were pitch-black, and twitched the corners of his mouth. In a blink of an eye, he realized that his nails weren't much better, and the corners of his mouth twitched even more.

Sharpening nails with a stone knife...isn't it reliable? Ye Xi thought hesitantly.

The three of them worked together to dig out this piece of sweet potato, and found that the harvest this time was unexpectedly large.

But the two hides on his body were used to hold wild boar, so how could he get so many sweet potatoes?

Ye Xi looked around and saw a clump of dry plants that looked like palm palms, but its leaves were larger than the leaves of palm palms he had seen before, almost half the length of a human being. Due to lack of water, it withered and turned yellow.

The leaves of this plant are generally fan-shaped, and the middle is divided into long strips, much like a fan.

Ye Xi walked over and folded one of the leaves, tried to tug at it, and felt that the toughness was okay, so he folded the whole leaf.

A long strip of such leaves is half the length of a human being. He tied two such leaves at the ends and felt that they were long enough.

Cangpan: "Are you using it as a rattan?"

Ye Xi nodded: "Although this leaf is not as tough as rattan, the sweet potato should be enough."

Instead of pulling out the leaves of the sweet potatoes, Ye Xi tied a "rope" around the junction of the leaves and the tubers, and then tied the strings one by one, so that one string could carry about ten strings of sweet potatoes. .

Cone and Cangpan saw Ye Xi's movements, and they both came to help. Their movements were more agile and efficient, and they quickly tied all the sweet potatoes.

There are eight strings of this kind in total, or about eighty strings of sweet potatoes.

Seeing so many sweet potatoes, Ye Xi felt the satisfaction of the harvest in his heart.

Today's goal has been achieved, and everyone intends to go back.

Ye Xi's small body board is really not able to carry heavy weight, so he can only take a string of such ropes, and the rest is shared by the cone and the warehouse pan.

They had already carried a large bag of wild boar and dozens of bunches of sweet potatoes, and they still walked lightly as if they had no weight.

Just as he was about to leave, Ye Xi suddenly stared straight into a corner, "Wait for me."

Cone and Cangpan turned their heads, and saw Ye Xi excitedly put down the sweet potato and held the bone stalk, pounced on an ordinary-looking plant, and dug it up impatiently, his eyes glowing.

They wondered, they didn't see him having such energy when digging sweet potatoes just now, what kind of treasure is he digging?

Soon Ye Xi dug out a bunch of yellowish lumps, holding them in his hands with a smile.

Cone looked at the string of things the same color as soil: "What is this, can you eat it?"

Ye Xi waved his hand: "This is not for eating."

Oh, it's not food, Cone lost interest in an instant, and didn't ask any more questions.

Ye Xi, who was about to explain, had a meal. This group of primitive foodies had this attitude as soon as they heard that they were not eating. Forget it.
