Chapter 72 Wheat

Shen Xiaoxiao stood there steadily, looking excited, her eyes full of disbelief and surprise, and her eyes filled with enthusiasm.

"Xiao Xiao, is there any problem?" Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao's appearance, Xiao Yan was a little nervous for a moment.

Shen Xiaoxiao grabbed Xiao Yan's hand with both hands and said excitedly, "Do you know what this is?"

Xiao Yan looked at her doubtfully, then at the piece of grass, and said uncertainly, "Isn't it the grass that chickens eat?"

Shen Xiaoxiao shook his head, with uncontrollable excitement in his voice, "No, this is not grass, it is wheat, it is grain, food. With this, we can eat buns, steamed buns and pasta."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at this piece of golden wheat shining in the sun. She didn't expect that there would be wheat here. It's no wonder that the chickens here are so fat. They don't have to worry about eating and drinking. When they are hungry, they come to the wheat fields to eat. Don't worry about running out of food.

Although Xiao Yan didn't understand what Shen Xiaoxiao was talking about, he knew that these grasses should be very important after seeing her so excited.

Shen Xiaoxiao let go of him and walked towards the wheat field. Her hands gently moved the wheat grains. The wheat plants were covered with full grains, which made people feel happy.

"With these, we don't have to worry about starving in winter." Shen Xiaoxiao said excitedly. Although there is some food in hand now, no one would have too much, especially in this era, when there is no food in hand. There is no sense of security at all.

But she didn't expect that there would be wheat here, and it was behind the mountain where they often went. If it hadn't been for a coincidence this time, she might not even have known that there was a piece of wheat hidden behind it after the winter.

"Xiao Yan, is there a tribe here?" Although she was excited, Shen Xiaoxiao did not forget this matter, but she probably did not, otherwise she would not have been able to make these pheasants so fat.

"No." Xiao Yan shook his head. Their tribes are relatively far apart, otherwise they would live too close to each other. They would search for things in this area. As a result, neither tribe would be able to find food for the winter.

And this is a weed that no one wants. Even if there are other tribes, no one will say anything if Xiaoxiao picks it back.

"That's good, let's cut it and take it back." Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of eagerness. Since it is ownerless, it is hers. Before, she thought it would be nice if there was rice, but she didn't expect that there was no rice. , but wheat appeared.

Although she likes to eat, it is quite enjoyable to have a few bites of pasta now.

And it's all food, so she doesn't dislike it, she just doesn't like it if it's too little. It would be better if it was more.

"Xiao Yan, take the eggs back first, and then bring the basket to put them in." After picking a little, Shen Xiaoxiao found that there was nothing to put the wheat grains in, so she said, Xiao Yan didn't want to, and he didn't trust her to be here alone.

"Hurry up, don't delay, try to finish harvesting this piece before dark, and take advantage of the weather to dry up." Otherwise, if it rains suddenly, there will be no need for these wheat, and she also wants to Save some to use as seeds next year. If they are not dried enough, they will not be retained at all.

"I don't trust you." Xiao Yan expressed his concerns. After all, they didn't know if Li Chuan was still following them. If he left and Li Chuan suddenly appeared, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "It's okay, he can't keep staring at us. This place is not very far from the tribe. Go back quickly. If you walk faster, nothing will happen."

In fact, she was also a little worried that the lunatic Li Chuan would come out of nowhere, but it was impossible for her to follow Xiao Yan back and come back again. She didn't know how much time it would take. With this time, she could cut a lot of wheat. .

Another thing is, if you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days? Instead of worrying about whether he will come out to cause trouble every day, it is better to give him a chance to see what he wants to do.

And she doesn't believe that he can keep an eye on her every day, so he doesn't need to save food for the winter? Compared to the people in the tribe, these wanderers were probably more worried about the whereabouts of food. After all, they lived such a precarious life and couldn't possibly waste so much time staring at her.

"If I come back with you, then we don't have to do anything. We definitely won't be able to finish this piece today." Shen Xiaoxiao said firmly, "I'll be fine."

Although Xiao Yan was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree to Shen Xiaoxiao's insistence, telling her to run away if she encountered danger and he would come back as soon as possible.

Shen Xiaoxiao agreed one by one and asked him to take the eggs back first while she cut the wheat here.

Looking at the golden wheat, Shen Xiaoxiao was full of energy, because she knew that this would be their future rations, and she was naturally happy.

Shen Xiaoxiao used a bone knife to cut off the wheat bit by bit and put it aside. The sun at noon was getting hotter. She picked some branches and made a hat to put on her head and then worked hard.

Although she had been working very hard to cut, the tool was not in her hand. When Xiao Yan returned, she had only cut a quarter. She had just estimated that wheat grew on almost an acre and a half of the land.

Shen Xiaoxiao wiped her sweat and then worked hard. She thought she could finish cutting them all and take them back today and dry them quickly while the sun was good.

"Take a break and drink some water." Xiao Yan put down the basket and walked closer with the water. He took the knife in her hand and started cutting. Shen Xiaoxiao rubbed her sore waist, and then rubbed the wheat grains off with her hands. Put it in a basket.

After rubbing most of the basket, she found that Xiao Yan had finished cutting it. She felt a little complicated. It really couldn't be compared. This was good, they could go back quickly.

Xiao Yan wanted to cut the wheat that Shen Xiaoxiao had specially left, but was stopped by Shen Xiaoxiao. He looked at her in confusion, "These are left for the chickens to eat. Otherwise, if they are all cut, there will be nothing to eat here, and they will go somewhere else." It will not be as easy for them to catch chickens again.

It is better to leave some wheat to feed them, so that they will not leave here.

Xiao Yan did not have any objections. He took another basket and rubbed the wheat grains into the basket like Shen Xiaoxiao.

The two of them were busy until the moon was on the branches before they took off all the wheat grains. They dragged their tired bodies back to the tribe.

The people in the tribe were also anxious because of them, and some even encouraged them to go find them.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yan said that he and the goddess will be back later." The witch doctor calmed everyone's emotions. In fact, she didn't know where Xiao Yan and the others had gone.

"But it's so late now, will they be in danger?" Someone worriedly said, and others followed suit, and it can be seen that they really care about Shen Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Do you know where they went?" The witch doctor's question made them speechless. Yes, how could they find them if they didn't even know their whereabouts?

"Be quiet and stay in the tribe. Don't be trapped when you can't find them." The witch doctor said sternly. It's not that she didn't worry about them, but she had to consider the overall situation. She couldn't put others in danger because of two people. She also believed that Xiao Yan and the others were safe. If they didn't come back so late, they might have been delayed by something.
