Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

He originally thought that only the leaves on the surface were yellow, because he dug them up last and covered them, but he didn't expect that the leaves were all yellow! There were only a few green ones, how could it be completely reversed? ? ? When did the Ula grass that was more than three years old become so rampant? !

Could it be that they found a new place for Ula grass to grow?

Seeing a string of question marks growing on her man's head, the chief's wife felt much better.

The chief pointed to the pile of Ula grass on the ground with shaking hands and asked, "Did they dig this? Or did others send it here because they knew we didn't dig it this year?"

After saying this, the chief immediately denied himself: "No, these are old guys. If the tribesmen had dug them up, they should have sent them here yesterday. And this is too much! We have never dug up so much in previous years."

Ever since the tribe established a rule that any Ula grass that is three years old or older must be handed in, everyone's enthusiasm for it has declined a lot. They are no longer willing to take the risk of going down to such a deep place to search for it. They just dig it up when they see it. It is considered good if they can collect forty or fifty plants every year. Sometimes they are useless when treating illnesses, and he has to take his sons to dig them up specifically.

He thought that there would be no gain from this trip, and he was mentally prepared. Even if the three of them dug up some small ones that did not meet the picking standards, he would not say anything. Unexpectedly, the fact was completely the opposite.

The chief was about to continue asking questions when his wife interrupted him: "Ask your son. I don't know anything either. They just came back with hoarse throats. They drank a pot of water without saying anything and went upstairs. I guess they will be coming down soon."

"Hoarse throat?"

"Hey, isn't that it? It's coming down."

Gan Li and Gan Yi came down from the building with their hair still wet and dripping with water. As soon as they came down, they started to ask for food: "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm so hungry."

Upon hearing this, the chief's wife immediately stood up and ran to the kitchen, asking, "Why are you hungry? Didn't you eat the vegetable cakes and oily meat I brought for you?"

“No~” The two leaned weakly on the chairs: “It’s too dry, thirsty, and can’t eat.”

"Didn't you bring any water? I saw you brought your water bladders! Did it leak?"

"I brought it and finished drinking it."

The chief couldn't help asking, "Are you going to sing folk songs?"

Gan Li: "It's not a folk song, but it's almost the same, ahem."

The chief poured a glass of water for his son to moisten his throat, then asked, "Did you two dig all this?"

The two shook their heads. Gan Li stood up from the chair, walked to a backpack, rolled up his sleeves and began to dig in. After digging for a long time, he took out a piece of Ula grass and placed it in front of the chief's father.

The chief looked puzzled. He couldn't see what was special about this plant. Then, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Did you dig all of them except this one?"

"Siphos is not bad. I found such an old one on my first visit..."

Unexpectedly, the two shook their heads again.

"Rebellion, Father."

"We dug this one alone. Mr. Seaforth dug up the others."

"???"

The chief's incredulity was written all over his face: "You mean, those are..."

"Ah."

"..."

The two tried to reconstruct what happened in the simplest language.

"Brother went down to dig the grass, but he was left hanging."

"Mr. Seaforth got me up with a retractable rope."

"He continued to use this rope to go down to places we couldn't reach and dug up a lot of Ula grass."

"That's it."

Chief: "...Speak to me clearly, don't omit anything."

"Wait for me! Didn't you say you would tell us together?" The chief's wife arrived in time.

five minutes later--

"...We would shout to him from the cliff, telling him where the gold was, and then Mr. Seaforth would swing to that place like a spider spirit, and when it was full, he would bring the basket up and then go down again."

"Because the distance was too far, and it got farther and farther as we went back, I had to shout very loudly, so my voice became hoarse."

"But it won't be necessary later. Mr. Seaforth went down to the deepest part and told us there was a large area there, but we couldn't see it from above."

“In the end, we couldn’t fit all three baskets in the backpack, so we came back.”

The chief and his wife leaned back in their chairs in silence. There was too much information and they needed to digest it slowly.

At this time, Sifos pushed the door open. After coming out from the priest, he turned back to the starship, which delayed him a little.

His appearance broke the silence of the family, and the chief and his wife suddenly came back to their senses as if they had just woken up.

"Mr. Seaforth is back, come and sit down."

"Yes, yes. Are you tired after a long day? The food is ready. Please sit down first. Gan Li, Gan Li, come and serve the food."

The four of them were all distracted during the dinner, especially the chief and his wife, who looked at Sifos several times as if they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

Sifos naturally noticed it, and after dinner he did not leave immediately, but said directly: "Gan Li and Gan Yi should have told you about today's events, so if you have any questions, just ask directly."

Although Sifos had guessed what the other party was going to say, and he also wanted to talk about this matter, he still habitually took a backseat.

The chief smiled awkwardly, then said, "They did tell me, but I still don't quite understand how the rope can be stretched and retracted, and how a person can swing in the air."

Even monkeys need dense branches to hold on to. But the cliffs in the valley are very smooth and there is not much vegetation. Could it be climbing on rocks? But how strong arm strength would be needed to do this? The chief couldn't imagine it.

Ultimately, it’s because I don’t understand the working principle of the rope gun. Without seeing it with my own eyes, it’s difficult to have a concept in my mind.

"Let me show you the gun," said Seaforth.

This was exactly what the couple wanted, and they came closer and watched curiously as Sifos took out a small, toy-like object from his bag.

"Is this the rope they were talking about? But where is it?"

The two looked at it with suspicion. They thought that such a powerful thing must be a large tool, at least as big as a bow and arrow, but they didn't expect it to be a small thing the size of a palm.

"Father and mother, don't underestimate it. Let Mr. Sifos demonstrate it and you will understand." Gan Yi reminded.

However, Sifos looked around and found no suitable place in the yard for the demonstration. The shuttle would inevitably cause damage if it was fired. Neither the wall nor the pillar would work.

Sifos had no choice but to pull out one end of the rope gun and give a verbal explanation.

The chief and his wife were amazed after hearing what they heard, and couldn't wait to see it for themselves. Finally, they had an idea and took out an unbroken wooden stake from the woodshed and placed it ten meters away.

Seeing that the object he was about to pierce was dry wood, Sifos adjusted the force of the gun to the minimum, otherwise he might have directly broken the wood and there would have been nothing to hook.

Everyone stood behind Sifos, holding their breath and watching intently.
