Chapter 229 Turns out to be a surprise
He Jiaojiao was also panicked now, but she quickly calmed down.
"Is it only my vegetable garden that's gone, or are all the vegetables in everyone's garden gone?"
"Everyone's is gone!" Yuan said anxiously.
"Let's go and take a look together!" He Jiaojiao didn't care about anything else and immediately climbed onto Yuan's back. Then she asked Ziyi to look after the house and led Linfeng out.
When they were almost at the vegetable field, they saw a lot of beastmen from afar, and He Jiaojiao's brows furrowed even deeper.
"He Jiaojiao is here!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone made way.
When approaching the crowd, Yuan turned back into his orc appearance. He followed behind He Jiaojiao. The anxious look on his face just now was gone. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a hint of expectation.
He Jiaojiao quickened her pace, but as she walked, she realized something was amiss. If all the food was gone, why wasn't anyone worried? She also noticed someone in the crowd covering their mouths and laughing...
"Yuan, why do I feel like something is not right?"
Lin Feng came close to Yuan and asked in a low voice.
Yuan smiled and made a gesture to silence Lin Feng, signaling him not to speak for the time being.
When He Jiaojiao walked to the front of the crowd, she found that the vegetable patch was green and lush. There was no missing vegetables at all. Moreover, the vegetable patches of other families nearby were also green and lush. The vegetables of two families that had better crops were edible.
Suddenly, He Jiaojiao was stunned. When did these fruit trees appear?
"This is......"
"Of course it's a surprise for Jiaojiao!"
Zhutian descended from the sky with Chi Yan, who was holding a bunch of flowers made of vegetables in his hand. He then handed it to He Jiaojiao with a loving look on his face.
"Everyone is very grateful to you, Jiaojiao. They feel that if it weren't for you, they wouldn't be able to grow these delicious vegetables. That's why we planned to give you a surprise."
For a moment, He Jiaojiao held the vegetable flower in her hands, not knowing what to say.
Along the way, she thought of many possibilities.
The food is gone. Could it be that it was eaten by some birds or animals?
Or maybe someone stole it?
But I never thought that it would be a surprise from everyone!
"Thank you, Holy Female. If it weren't for you, my female wouldn't be able to eat such fresh and delicious food." A male stepped forward and stuffed the food in his hand into He Jiaojiao's hand.
As soon as there was one, there was a second one. In the blink of an eye, He Jiaojiao could no longer hold the baby.
Looking at everyone's smiling faces, He Jiaojiao felt extremely satisfied.
"Yuan, you really scared me just now!"
On the way back, He Jiaojiao's tone sounded a bit complaining, but the corners of her mouth that were raised never came down.
"And those fruit trees, when did you get them? If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known you had done so much."
There were so many fruit trees, they had to travel a lot to collect them. Moreover, each one was growing so well, you could tell at a glance that a lot of effort had been put into it.
"But this is far from the orchard Jiaojiao wants!" Lin Feng said, "But Jiaojiao, don't worry. From now on, whenever we go hunting, we'll bring you any fruit trees we see. That way, sooner or later, Jiaojiao, you'll have your own orchard."
He Jiaojiao nodded touchedly, "Yeah!"
When Ziyi returned to the stone house, the meal was almost cooked.
"Jiaojiao, there's not much rice left. Shouldn't we plant some?"
Looking at the white rice in the bowl, He Jiaojiao would definitely be unhappy if she had no more to eat one day. But how do you grow rice?
Ever since coming to the Beast World, He Jiaojiao has regretted why she was not a student of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in her previous life. If that were the case, coming to the Beast World would be a perfect match for her major.
"Of course we have to plant it, but this kind of rice requires fields, and it can't be grown in the ground."
The most important thing is that He Jiaojiao has no confidence at all whether she can make the rice germinate...
"It doesn't matter. Jiaojiao, just tell us what to do, and we'll take care of the rest." Ziyi knew that Jiaojiao liked it, so he naturally wanted to do his best to fulfill it.
"Don't worry about that for now." He Jiaojiao turned and looked at Zhutian and Chiyan. "I didn't have time to ask them in the vegetable garden just now. Have you found the black stone?"
Chi Yan nodded and took out two black stones of medium size from the animal skin bag.
He Jiaojiao looked at it carefully, rubbed it with her hands, and smelled it, confirming that this should be iron ore.
"This is the black stone I want. Can you bring back some?"
Originally, He Jiaojiao wanted to find the city lord, but the finished product has not been made yet. If she goes directly to the city lord, she is afraid that even if the city lord believes it, others may not believe it.
In order not to cause trouble to the city lord, He Jiaojiao decided to make the iron first and then discuss the matter with the city lord.
"Jiaojiao, how many do you want?" Chi Yan fetched some water and washed He Jiaojiao's hands. "I've seen it, and almost the entire mountain is made up of these stones."
He Jiaojiao was shocked. With a whole mountain of minerals, she was going to be rich!
"Just bring back a small part first. I have to try to see if I can succeed!" He Jiaojiao decided that she must talk to the system to see if the system can tell her the correct way to smelt iron. After all, this is also a great thing for the benefit of the beast world. She thinks there is a high probability that the system will agree.
"Okay, then after dinner, Zhutian and I will go again and bring back some more."
Chi Yan nodded and continued to eat the food in the bowl.
"Let's join us!" Yuan and Lin Feng said quickly, "We're full anyway, so this is a good way to help digest the food."
"Then I'll go too!" Bamboo Bear just finished eating and put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "This way we can get more."
"Then Jiaojiao, when we come back tonight, let's put those stones back in the stone house. Is that okay?" Zhu Xiong said, adding some broth to He Jiaojiao's bowl. Zi Yi had put some vegetable leaves in the broth, which he had just seen and thought Jiaojiao would like it very much.
"Row!"
He Jiaojiao was just worrying about where to get it, but it turned out that Zhuxiong had already thought of it for her.
After dinner, everyone packed up and went out. But just before leaving, Hongyi insisted on going with them, so everyone had no choice but to take him along.
Ziyi held Ruoxue and went upstairs with He Jiaojiao to rest.
Ruoxue was very well behaved and fell asleep after playing with He Jiaojiao for a while.
Zi Yi glanced at the baby who was sleeping soundly, and made sure that she would not wake up for the time being, then he tiptoed towards He Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao..."
Ziyi's furry ears rubbed against He Jiaojiao's face, making her feel itchy. Just as He Jiaojiao was about to rub it, a furry tail appeared around her waist. She knew what Ziyi meant. He had been busy taking care of Ruoxue these days and hadn't been close to her for several days.
Today everyone is away, so he can't wait any longer!
