Chapter 185 City 5
Anan was reluctant to leave the Yanshan tribe at first. He was not very clear-headed, but he realized that if he left, he would never come back. He kept making a fuss and refused to leave. Fortunately, Aqing had a solution and took out two candies from his pocket and solved the problem immediately.
He was very strong. At first, it was Ah Qiao who carried Ah Qing on his back. One day when they were about to set off, he suddenly yelled, pointing at Ah Qing and then at himself, and shouted, "I'll carry you, I'll carry you."
Then this "glorious" task was given to Anan.
Of course, his appetite was extraordinary. Three hunters could be full by eating one roasted snow rabbit and some biscuits, but Anan could eat a whole one by himself.
Even though his brain wasn't working well anymore, his hunting skills were like they were ingrained in his bones. He could find traces of snow rabbits faster than a dog and always caught one.
Originally, everyone was worried that with more of these people, the return journey would be slower and there would not be enough food. But Anan, a skilled hunter, caught several snow rabbits in one go and even dug up some edible grass and tree roots. He single-handedly provided the food for the entire Yanshan tribe.
The further they went back, the heavier the guys' backpacks became.
Just two days after Qing Jiu left, Ji Lang secretly swore in his heart that he would never forgive him easily after he came back this time.
But this group of people had been out for more than ten days, and there was no sign of them two days later than the originally scheduled date for their return. He couldn't help but start to worry.
Every day at dawn I would start looking eagerly down the mountain.
It was very quiet at the foot of the mountain, without even a bird in sight. The orange sunlight reflected on the thick, white snow-capped mountains, emitting a faint golden glow, giving people the illusion that a miracle was about to happen.
Jilang's hand was gently touched and a hot potato was stuffed into his hand.
He lowered his head and saw Xiaoman holding a black roasted potato in his hand and chewing it, with several pieces of dust rubbed on his cheeks.
"Father, please eat it. It's delicious." He smiled foolishly with his teeth bared. His little teeth, as small as rice grains, were so adorable.
They all wore gloves and were not afraid of burning their hands.
The father and son faced the cold wind and happily finished the big potatoes in their hands.
"Waiting for the leader and the others?" Ah Hua walked into the gate carrying a basket.
Ji Lang said stubbornly, "No, I just came out to get some fresh air."
Everyone had a look of understanding on their faces, knowing that he was saying one thing and thinking another. Even Xiaoman had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Ji Lang curled his lips, "Why are you here so early in the morning? What's the matter?"
Ah Hua lifted the basket in her hand. "Yesterday, Dayan and his friends went out to dig up some grass roots. It's delicious to add some of this when cooking meat, or just cook it directly. I'll give you some to try." She glanced at Ji Lang and Xiao Man, the father and son, who had the same painted faces. "It seems that I am still a little late. You have all eaten."
Ji Lang came over, picked up a muddy lump of earth and took a look. Isn't this a water chestnut?
"Did you dig it up by the lake?" He rubbed it with his hands, revealing the brown skin inside.
Ah Hua nodded, "You know this? Then why didn't I see you guys digging?"
"I do recognize it, but I don't know what its leaves look like." He hadn't even thought that water chestnuts would grow by the lake. Now that he saw it, he remembered that this plant usually grows in shallow water or moist soil.
But... "Are you running out of food? Why are you out looking for food again?"
Ah Hua carried the basket and went into the inner courtyard with Ji Lang. "There is enough food. It's my wild goose. I can't sit still, so I want to find something to do."
