Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 254: Small Hoe

"What else?" Xiao Cao'er asked back with a blink of an eye, "You came here without a hoe just now, where can I find another hoe for you now? Or... I'll run back home and get a few more hoes?"

"Don't give me that!" Ermao stared at Xiaocao'ertou suspiciously and continued to ask, "Where did you get this little hoe? I looked carefully at the backpack when we went up the mountain, and it was not in it at all! How did it appear when we got here? Don't think I don't know, tell me the truth!"

Ermao muttered to himself, he didn't believe what his sister said about the treasure bag being confiscated. After all, he had received a lot of wine from his sister in the military camp in the past two years. If it wasn't because of the magical treasure bag, where did all the wine come from?

After Ermao finished speaking these words angrily, his big eyes like copper bells were still staring at Xiaocaoer, as if they were about to spit fire. His look was clearly threatening Xiaocaoer. If she didn't help with the work, he would take out the tools and call other people to help. Did he really want to work him to death?

Qi Xingyun, who was standing aside, also cast his eyes on Xiao Cao'er. When he saw her cute and playful appearance, the corners of Qi Xingyun's mouth could not help but slightly rise. He secretly sighed in his heart: "This little girl has grown so big! Every time she takes something out of her magical treasure bag, she never avoids me. Fortunately, I have never had any bad thoughts about her, otherwise this little girl would have been harmed by others without knowing it."

Xiao Cao'er seemed to notice Qi Xingyun's upturned mouth, and for some reason, her little hand unconsciously reached into her sleeves and began to grope. After a few fiddles, she pulled out several small hoes like a magic trick.

Seeing this, Ermao withdrew his vicious glare with satisfaction, and grumbled a few times before turning around and continuing to work hard, digging the potatoes buried deep in the soil, muttering as he dug: "Humph! You want me, oh, no, I want you to do this hard work alone? No way!"

Xiao Cao gently picked up a small hoe, squatted on the other side of the ridge and began to dig vigorously. At the same time, Qi Xingyun made a crisp sound, and soon a figure appeared quickly, and respectfully obeyed Qi Xingyun's instructions and turned away, probably to get something to hold the potatoes.

On the other side, the hunting team also returned with a full load after about half an hour. They had a rich harvest this time, catching a lot of pheasants and rabbits, but unfortunately they did not catch any large animals.

As soon as these people who had just returned got back to the original place, they hurriedly took over the small hoes from Xiaocaoer and others. After asking clearly how to dig specifically, they took over the work skillfully.

After handing over the small hoe, Xiao Cao'er placed the dug potatoes and the vines they were attached to in different places. At the same time, he also carefully checked to see if there were any potatoes that were accidentally damaged.

Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng were both talkative people. As they were digging the soil with their hoes, they asked curiously, "Look, what are these? The outer skin is yellow. I wonder what color it is inside!"

"Yeah, I don't know if it tastes good or not, or how to cook it."

"I'll know if it tastes good when I get home and try it later." Ermao also joined the chat. Qi Xingyun and his men rarely spoke, and would only speak when you asked them questions, so the only sound heard on the mountain was the discussion of how to eat potatoes.

Another half hour passed, time passed quietly in busyness and expectation. At this moment, the person Qi Xingyun had sent out to get something finally came back exhausted. At this moment, everyone's work of digging potatoes was almost over and was about to be completed.

Everyone carefully checked the potatoes they dug out one by one. To their surprise, everyone dug very carefully and not a single potato was damaged.

While everyone was concentrating on their work, the clever Xiao Caoer seized the opportunity and quietly handed a pre-written note to Qi Xingyun. Qi Xingyun took the note and read it carefully. After reading it, he raised his head, looked at Xiao Caoer with a puzzled look, and asked, "Is this called potato?"

Xiao Cao smiled and nodded, explaining: "Yes, that's the name I gave it! Think about it, it looks like a bunch of big beans, but it grows out of the soil, so I call it a potato, isn't it easy to understand?"

After listening to Xiao Cao'er's explanation of the origin of Potato's name, Qi Xingyun couldn't help but show appreciation. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, it's indeed a good name! It's simple and easy to understand."

Qi Xingyun held the paper tightly in his hand, staring at the words on it without blinking, as if he wanted to engrave every stroke in his mind. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Xiaocaoer, who was blinking her big eyes and looking at him curiously, and asked softly: "Little Caoer, do you have any writing brushes with you?"
