Chapter 253 Denial
After talking about hunting, Qi Xingyun turned his gaze to Ermao, but did not speak. At this time, Ermao stared at his sister.
It turned out that when Xiaocao was about to talk about potatoes, she suddenly heard the voices of Qi Xingyun and others, so she had to stop talking for the time being. So Ermao was also confused at this moment, and had no idea that his sister wanted to dig potatoes just now.
Ermao felt his scalp tingling and he was a little scared when Qi Xingyun stared at him. So he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "In my opinion, why don't you go out and see if you can find other prey? There are so many of us here, and I'm afraid it's hard to fill our stomachs with just these two pheasants. I guess we have to eat lunch here today."
Hearing this, Qi Xingyun raised his arm slightly and waved it behind him. The people behind him understood instantly and immediately scattered and took action. However, Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng looked at each other at this moment, looking a little hesitant. They knew clearly that they could not compare with the skills of Qi Xingyun's men. After all, when they performed Qinggong, their speed was as fast as lightning, and they could disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye. The two had no choice but to find prey according to their own methods.
Seeing that everyone had left and only the three of them were left, Ermao took Xiaocao'er's hand and asked, "Sister, what did you want to say just now?"
Xiao Cao raised her head slightly and rolled her eyes playfully. It was strange to say that she had been trying hard to maintain her ladylike image in the past two years, and such inelegant actions had rarely appeared. But at this moment, she obviously didn't care about so much. She quickly bent down, picked up the small hoe that had just been thrown aside, and then walked quickly towards the potato field.
After arriving at the edge of the potato field, Xiao Cao skillfully swung the hoe in his hand, and with a few crisp "clicks", a potato broke out of the soil. Looking closely, he found that there were several round and chubby little guys attached to the root of the potato!
Ermao, who had been watching curiously, saw this thing that looked quite similar to sweet potato but not exactly the same. His eyes lit up instantly and he asked happily, "Sister, what on earth is this? Can I eat it?"
At this time, even the usually calm Qi Xingyun couldn't hold back his curiosity. He slowly squatted down, picked up a potato from the ground, looked left and right, and studied it repeatedly for several times. Then he asked in confusion: "What is this... called?"
Hearing their questions, Xiao Cao couldn't help but roll his eyes again, muttering to himself: We obviously discovered this new thing here together, why are they all looking at me eagerly, as if they are sure that I must know its origin.
Although I did plant these potatoes here on purpose, don't I have to pretend that I know nothing about them so that everyone will think that this is a rare thing that has never been seen before?
Oh my, it's so helpless! Who made me so outstanding? It's hard to be low-key!
"I don't know, I wasn't the first to discover it! We just saw this rare thing together, and it's the first time for me to see it too!" Xiao Cao'er blinked her big eyes and said innocently, firmly denying that this was something she took out from the mall. Anyway, she insisted that she and everyone else discovered it at the same time.
Ermao couldn't help but roll his eyes when his sister denied that it was hers, and cast his gaze to Qi Xingyun who was standing beside him. Qi Xingyun shook his head slightly and said slowly: "I don't know either, I saw it with you guys."
"Well, in that case, let's just treat it as a new discovery for everyone." Ermao nodded helplessly, and then continued to talk to himself, "I just don't know if there is only one plant here? It seems that we have to continue looking for other ones. If there are, we can just dig them all up and take them home."
As he spoke, Ermao turned his head and looked at his sister, and asked, "Sister, do you think we should also take some of the soil where these plants grow?" After that, he held the potato that he had just dug out and carefully compared it with the surrounding ones. Seeing that there seemed to be no difference, Ermao picked up the small hoe in his hand and started working hard again.
"Oh no! If I had known earlier, I should have brought a few more baskets! I see that there are quite a few plants in this area that look similar. I guess they are all the same variety as this one. If I want to dig them all up, I'm afraid one basket won't be able to hold them all!" Ermao muttered to himself as he swung the hoe vigorously.
"It's okay, just keep digging. I'll ask someone to go back and get the things to load up later." Qi Xingyun said calmly.
"But we only have this small hoe here. It's not easy to dig all the land!" Ermao said, while picking up the hoe helplessly and started digging potatoes. After a few diggings, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Xiaocaoer and asked, "Sister, you are not really going to let me, your second brother, take this small hoe and dig all the land, right?"
