But there was nothing, only despair was left for him.
After all, if there were these things, how could Cerna be so desperate that she would commit suicide so that her tribe members could survive?
Although Li Ke had the experience of 'fishing' in the river before, the river was far from here, and it had long been Sejuani's hunting ground. And from here, they had to pass through Sejuani's stronghold, so it was basically impossible to get food from there.
"… Unless we can go southwest, we will still run into Sejuani. With enough food, she will definitely start a war when the snow stops to strengthen her tribe. "
Cerna slowly told what she knew, but the more she said, the more desperate she became because she couldn't think of how to survive in such a place. Although she knew that with Li Ke's ability, it wouldn't be difficult to get food from the river, but if he brought them along, Li Ke might not have enough physical strength to walk there. Although it was only a day's journey to the river with fish, in this case, it would be a one-way trip. And the most important thing was that along the way, there were all kinds of raiding groups, hunting grounds, and tribes that were hostile to outsiders, they would not allow outsiders like them to take away their food.
Therefore, rather than saying that she was telling Li Ke where there might be food, it was more like saying her last words. She wanted Li Ke to live as long as possible with his daughter.
"So, if we want to eat today, we have to think of a way around here. This area used to be your territory, and you have already dug three feet into the ground to search for food. The nearest place with food is still more than ten kilometers away? "
Li Ke had a headache. Without a guide, who knew where he would go, and he didn't think that he would have the ability to hunt after walking to the distant river. After all, he was able to meet a Griffin in the inland river last time, which basically proved that he was very lucky. But how could the same good luck fall on his head a second time? Moreover, he was even more confused as to why Udir wanted him to save the wolf.
Although the other party might really just want to teach him a lesson.
"Yes, because this year's winter came too quickly."
Cerna nodded, then lowered her head and continued to tease her daughters. She wanted to spend as much time with them as possible in this last period of time. She had already made up her mind. Since Li Ke didn't let her die on the icy plains and insisted on saving her and her daughters' lives, then she had to repay him. It was impossible for the four of them to survive because there was not enough food for them to walk to the next place where there might be food, but what if there was enough food to replenish their strength? Would things be different then?
Cerna looked at the skeletons in the cave and then looked at her daughters. She slowly took out the small knife she used to cut meat from her waist.
"What wolves can eat, humans can eat too. Moreover, this is a wolf's den, no one will know …"
She should have been dead to begin with, and had become food for all sorts of wild beasts in the wastelands. If that was the case, then why …
"By the way, is this a potato?"
Just as she was about to stab the small knife into her heart, Li Ke suddenly opened his mouth and asked Cerna another question, interrupting her actions. After all, Cerna wanted to tell Li Ke as much as she could for 4,000 yuan. Therefore, she stopped what she was doing and focused on answering Li Ke's question.
"Potato?"
"Yes, potato. This is the kind that can be grown by cutting it into pieces, and you can dig out a lot of things. "
Li Ke shook the potato in his hand that was not even as big as a finger and asked Cerna with certainty. But at the same time, he was also surprised. After all, he and Oudir had eaten potatoes together, but Cerna didn't seem to know about potatoes.
"Does this kind of thing have this name? But they can dig out a lot, but even if they dig out a lot, it won't be a lot. Only when there is a shortage of food will we dig this kind of thing on a large scale, but unfortunately, even if there is still some in the ground, they are all frozen. "
Cerna repeated the word 'potato' from Li Ke a few times in confusion, but the question she answered had already solved Li Ke's question and made Li Ke have new questions. After all, from the way they lived here for a long time, it could be seen that they definitely knew how to farm. And on the site that Sejuani wanted to take over, Li Ke also saw a place that seemed to be a farmland, but it had been used by Sejuani as a place to store herds. It was basically ruined to the point that its original appearance was unrecognizable.
"If that's the case, then if you farm, what do you farm?"
But who knew that something even more surprising would happen.
"Farm? Oh, sometimes we grow some wheat in the summer, but the yield is very low, so most of the time we rely on hunting, fishing, and herding. "
Before Cerna finished her words, Li Ke couldn't help but repeat it.
"Only grow wheat?!"
"Yes, only wheat … But sometimes we also grow some oats and lettuce, if there is no war."
Cerna didn't know why Li Ke was so surprised, but she still answered truthfully.
"Then how many months does Freldrod have this kind of low temperature that can freeze people to death? What is the temperature most of the time? And how long does it take for the wheat here to mature? What is the yield? "
"Except for three months in the summer where it will be sunny and the temperature is enough for the wheat to grow, most of the time it is a little warmer than this temperature, so we can't grow wheat. We probably plant wheat about a month before summer, and then harvest them at the beginning of the second month after summer. As for the yield, it is not a lot. The yield of our farmland, together with the herds we graze and the prey we harvest, can barely last until the second summer. "
Li Ke roughly understood the situation, but he still raised the potato and asked, unwilling to give up.
"You really don't grow this thing?"
Then Cherna nodded her head with certainty.
"Yes, we don't grow it."
What the hell do you mean by growing wheat and not potatoes in a world of ice and snow!
Li Ke couldn't help but cover his forehead. He hesitated for a moment, then he dug out a part of the ashes from the fire, and under Cerna's puzzled gaze, he poured a pot of snow on the ashes, letting the cold snow cool down the burning ashes. After confirming that the temperature of the ashes became warm, Li Ke cut the thumb-sized potato in his hand and put it on the warm and moist ashes.
"I hope I am right."
Li Ke took a deep breath, put his hand on the cut potato, and activated his power, slowly transferring his vitality to the potato under his palm.
This was a risky move because he had never done such a thing to a plant, nor had he extracted vitality from a plant, so he didn't know if his move was a waste of vitality. But how could Cerna's action of holding a knife hide from him? So even if it was to try to save Cerna, he could only try his best. After all, vitality could accelerate the maturation of wolf pups, so it should be effective on plants.
Naturally, he wouldn't consume too much of his vitality, but if the potato could grow because of this, it meant that his power was also effective on plants. He could absorb the vitality of plants to reach a state where he didn't need to eat or drink. He didn't need to worry about his own diet, and he could give all his food to Cerna and her daughter.
But he didn't have the slightest confidence.
But just when he was feeling nervous, the potato under his palm suddenly moved as if it was struggling with something. A green sprout emerged from between his fingers, and it continued to spread and grow. The ashes under Li Ke's hand also quickly disappeared and dried up, and Li Ke's hand was slowly pushed up by the constantly expanding things. Until Li Ke raised his hand in surprise and stopped transferring vitality, these crazily growing plants stopped growing, revealing a few quail egg-sized potatoes.
Li Ke was very happy about this, and of course, he had a reason to be happy. Not only could this mean that he could obtain vitality from more places, but it also meant that he didn't have to worry about food in this ice field. But when he was surprised, he didn't realize that Cerna's grateful gaze had turned into something even more fanatical.
He, he is the messenger of God?
Cerna couldn't help but put down the knife in her hand because Li Ke didn't only bring food, but also hope in despair.
And it wasn't just her hope.
