Chapter 31 Discovery of Yams
Jiayin didn't find what she was looking for, and felt unhappy, so she didn't have the mood to pay attention to the water pool anymore.

Anyway, she can't go swimming, after all, it's not like summer, it's almost autumn.

She pouted, kicked the stones with her little feet and walked to the side for a while. She reached the edge of the woods, sat on a flat stone, and threw two stones towards the tree trunk.

As the stone fell to the ground, she saw several withered vines on the ground, so she stood up and walked over, pulling out one at random.

I wanted to throw it out like a whip, but I didn’t know what was underneath it. I only heard a click, as if something was broken. I followed the sound and saw a long stick with hair split from the middle. The white inner flesh is exposed.

Jiayin picked it up and looked at it. She didn't know what it was, so she turned her head and shouted, "Auntie! Grandma! Brother Zhiyuan! Come and see what this is?"

When the three of them heard Jiayin's cry, they ran over quickly. When they saw something on the ground, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li shouted at the same time: "Oh! It's still yam!"

Li asked, "Where did this come from?"

Jiayin pointed to the ground with her little hand: "It's under my hand. I saw it was long, so I pulled it out, but it was even longer underneath. What is yam? Can it be eaten?"

The two of them followed Xiaopang's hand and looked over. There was still half a yam left there, and there were a few vines wrapped around the roots of the tree. The leaves on the vines had withered, and the color was similar to the color of the tree now. No wonder they came here I didn't notice it all the time.

"Look around quickly, do you still have these vines? This is for food. We can eat this as a staple food in the future, so that we can save some food." Mrs. Yang greeted, stretching out a vine I pulled it up, but after pulling it out for a long time, I couldn't pull it out.

At first, she saw Jiayin pulling it out so easily, and thought it was easy to pull it out, but it didn't seem to work, she didn't have Jiayin's strength.

I found a stick, broke it from the middle, and dug down the soil with the pointed end. After a while, a thick and long yam was dug out.

Li Shi and Fang Zhiyuan also followed suit and went to the side to plan.

As for Jiayin, she still pulled it out, but because of her height, she could only pull out half of it, and couldn't go any further.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yang came over and pulled out the other half with all her strength.

Now the old lady found the trick, and stopped digging. She asked Jiayin to pull out half, and she pulled out the other half.

When they finished all the yams here, there were nearly 30 yams in that pile, and each of them was as thick as an arm, which added up to almost a hundred catties!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used local materials to weave a basket with vines and wooden sticks, and put all the yams in it. The two of them carried it just right. At this time, the sun had already set, and the four of them hurried back.

On the way, Jiayin helped them carry the baskets from time to time, saving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a lot of energy.

It took more than two quarters of an hour to go back to the small mountain col, and the sky was obviously darkened, leaving only a glimmer of afterglow.

The four returned to the stone house non-stop, put the baskets outside first, entered the house and lit a torch, and inserted it into a groove by the door, so that there would be light inside and outside the house.

Mrs. Li took out the wooden basin to fetch water and came back to cook. Jiayin took it over and said, "I'll go, I'm strong, and I can fill that big tank in a while!"

Fang Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "I will accompany my sister, and I will help her to light up." He entered the room and took out another torch.

Fang Youwei made a lot of torches and put them in the house. They were made of straw rope and animal skin with fat, and they could burn for a long time.

Seeing them like this, Mrs. Li didn't stop them, took the torch from Fang Zhiyuan's hand to light it for him, and handed it to him, telling him, "Be careful not to fall into the water, it's easy to catch cold when the water is cold at night."

The water in the stream is not deep, only reaching the calf of an adult, so there is no danger of drowning.
