Chapter 149 Do You Miss Me?

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, but Xiao Yan and others had not returned yet. The people in the tribe began to worry, worried that something had happened to them. "Goddess, they won't be in trouble, right?" Otherwise, how could they not come back for so long.

"It shouldn't be. They are not a small group of people. Nothing should happen." Shen Xiaoxiao was also a little worried, but she didn't show it.

And they went with dozens of people. Even if something unexpected really happened, she believed that they would not suffer.

"Don't worry, I believe they will come back safely." After a pause, "Maybe they are on their way back." Calculating the time, they should be back. This is what she and Xiao Yan agreed. Whether they caught the cow or not, they must come back in five days.

Hearing her say this, the others were slightly relieved, but more worried.

"At the latest, they will be back tomorrow." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, and as she was speaking, she heard, "They are back, they are back." Everyone looked over and saw a scene that made them unforgettable.

Shen Xiaoxiao was also shocked. She knew they would go to catch cows, but she only thought that it would be great if they could catch one or two. But she didn't expect that they actually caught six, two of which were calves. They led the cows over. It seemed that these cows had been trained by them, or they were scared by the beatings, otherwise how could they be so obedient.

Not only did they bring back cows, some of them also carried prey on their shoulders. People who didn't know would think they went hunting.

When they got closer, everyone looked at them curiously.

"Didn't you go to pick corn? How did you bring back so many things?"

"It's a long story."

"Let's make it short."

They then explained how they brought back so many prey.

It turned out that when they reached the bottom of the cliff, they found many animal footprints. They thought that there would probably be other animals going there on weekdays, and the movement on the first night confirmed their thoughts. At night, there were wild boars, pheasants and even wolves going there. If they hadn't had so many people and torches, the wolves might have attacked them.

Seeing this, they thought of setting a trap to catch a few wild boars and take them back to eat, and they mainly wanted to catch cattle, but they didn't see any prey for two days after setting the trap. On the third night, they heard noises, and then prey kept falling into the trap they set.

At first, it was a wild boar that fell in. They originally thought of waiting until the next day to see, but soon they heard the sound of cattle, and hurried out to see, and found that the cattle had also fallen into the trap, probably because the wild boar was padding underneath. They were fine, and it took a lot of effort to catch them.

The bloody smell of those prey was too strong, and they were afraid of attracting other animals, so they rushed back overnight, walking and resting along the way until this time.

After hearing this, everyone else was shocked. They didn't expect them to have such an experience, but seeing that they all came back safely and brought back prey, they were relieved and happy at the same time.

"Xiaoxiao, do you recognize this?" Xiao Yan put the backpack behind him on the ground for her to see.

Shen Xiaoxiao first looked at him, and was relieved to see that he was not injured. She lowered her eyes to look into the basket, and suddenly saw a winter melon in the basket. She was a little unbelievable. There was actually a winter melon?

"Where did you find it?"

"At the bottom of the cliff?" Seeing her expression, Xiao Yan knew that this thing was edible, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was not sure whether this thing was edible, but they saw traces of bites from other animals on it, and there were no animal corpses nearby, so they thought it should be edible, so they picked a few and brought them back to let Xiaoxiao see.

It seems that they are just as they thought, this thing is really edible.

"This is a winter melon, which can be used to make soup, or made into winter melon candy, or used to stew things." This winter melon is estimated to be more than ten or twenty pounds. It's hard for them to carry it back from such a far place.

But he said he picked it at the bottom of the cliff, so why didn't she find it before?

As if knowing what she was thinking, "Before, we were so busy on the road that we didn't notice the things around us. This time, we went to the bottom of the cliff and saw it. Moreover, the location of this thing is a bit off, and we can't see it if we don't look carefully."

At that time, they were only concerned about leaving. Even if they stopped, it was to rest. After resting, they continued on their way. How could they know what was at the bottom of the cliff?

"The melon seeds inside can be used for planting." Now she has become accustomed to it. When she sees something, she thinks about whether it can be planted.

The main reason is that there are too few types of food. When she sees it, she will plant it first, hoping to promote it, so that she doesn't have to worry about being hungry.

Xiao Yan took out the winter melon, and the things underneath were also exposed.

"Can you see if this bean can be eaten?" They hadn't eaten it before, but thinking about the soybeans left by Xiao Xiao, they thought that this was also a bean, and it should be edible, so they brought it back. Anyway, they brought it back by the way. If it can't be eaten, just throw it away.

If it can be eaten, the tribe will have one more kind of food, which is not a loss no matter how you look at it.

Shen Xiaoxiao gently peeled off the bean shell, and there were some yellowish-white beans inside. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately recognized that this was white-browed bean, and was even more surprised, "This is white-browed bean, it can be eaten, and you can use white-browed bean and winter melon to make soup."

Xiao Yan's eyes were slightly curved, "Can it be planted?" After getting a positive answer, the smile in his eyes deepened.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Xiao Yan's first thought when he saw something now was to ask if it could be planted. She was a little helpless, probably because he was influenced by her.

"It's almost time for dinner. I'll go cook something. Are you hungry?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked with concern. They probably didn't eat much on the way back.

"Okay, I'll go light the fire." Xiao Yan responded softly.

Other people in the tribe have also started to make fire and cook food. There is no flour left. Shen Xiaoxiao simply cooked some soup and fried some vegetables.

"Xiaoxiao, have you missed me these days?" Xiao Yan asked while adding firewood to the fire. It seems casual, but if you ignore his eyes on Shen Xiaoxiao, it will be more convincing.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and asked instead of answering, "Did you miss me after leaving for a few days?"

"Yes, I always miss you." Xiao Yan looked into her eyes and said seriously. Shen Xiaoxiao could clearly see her reflection in his eyes.

The smile on her face got bigger, and she said with a smile, "I thought about it."

Xiao Yan's smile got bigger, and he suddenly stood up. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion, and then Xiao Yan directly held her case and kissed her. Shen Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked around, and was relieved to see that there was no one around. She glanced at him, "What are you doing?"

"Xiao Xiao, I'm very happy."

Shen Xiaoxiao was speechless. Even if she was happy, could she consider the occasion? It would be so embarrassing if someone saw her. Although no one was looking for them, what if it was just a coincidence?
