Chapter 510: Stone Fruit (3)

Due to his speed, only a series of faint footprints were left on the snow.

Winston didn’t have the same eruptive prowess of a leopard. He was very stable, and it took him only a few minutes to head to the borders of the village.

The plants were very very dense, and, with the snow covering them, it looked very cramped and seemed hard to pass through.

“Where are they?” Bai Qingqing slid down from Winston’s back. The moment she landed, she sank into the snow, with half of her legs being covered.

Bai Qingqing tried to draw them out but was unable to exert strength.

The moment she turned her head, her eyes abruptly opened, and she immediately flushed.

Winston was at least 2.1m tall, and when they stood on the same level, Bai Qingqing only reached his waist. Now that she was one chunk of leg shorter, her head didn’t even reach his animal skin.

The moment she looked up, she saw the root of Winston’s tail.

Winston wasn’t wearing an animal skin skirt, but just had a piece of animal skin wrapped around him. If his tail were to perk up a little bit, his backside would be completely exposed.

And now, Bai Qingqing was slightly lower down, and thus could see everything very clearly.

Winston turned over and looked at her countenance nervously. “The snow here is a little deep. I should carry you.”

He hadn’t paid attention and had caused Bai Qingqing to get frightened.

It wasn’t easy for him to get the chance to bring her out. She wouldn’t hate him because of this, would she?

Bai Qingqing had just returned to her senses when the scene in front of her changed to something else that was symbolic of males. She was caught off-guard.

Only then did Winston notice that her expression wasn’t right. He followed her gaze and lowered his head, and instantly, a tentage appeared under the animal skin skirt.

Bai Qingqing looked up with a stiffened expression. “Why didn’t you sink in?”

“There are branches under my feet.” Winston’s voice was deeper than usual.

Bai Qingqing noticed it, and the atmosphere became even more strange.

After trying to move her legs but realizing that she couldn’t raise them, Bai Qingqing decided to just lay down on the snow and tried to climb out.

Winston deeply breathed and lifted her.

“I’ll carry you.”

Winston carried Bai Qingqing and took a step out. His body sank in as well, but he was tall and had long legs, so the snow only buried him up to his kneecaps. It didn’t affect his movements much.

Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to look at his face. She turned her head and looked toward the plants in the surroundings, unfocused.

Forget it! Quickly forget it!

Why was it that despite being covered up by animal skin, she was still able to see the body under it so clearly? She could even see the color clearly!

It was all the snow’s fault. She felt as if the entire world was illuminated by lights.

Winston took a few big strides to a very thick bush, splashing it on the branch that grew out horizontally from it.

“Is it here?” Bai Qingqing felt too awkward and quickly spoke up to ease the tension, her eyes darting about.

She didn’t see any potato seedlings. Even if there were any, they should have been buried. This meant that the stone fruit in this world wasn’t potatoes. Potatoes had been grown in her hometown, but she didn’t recall them being harvested on snowing days.

“The stone fruits grew on this root. This tree is very big, and they should be yellow stone fruits. I’ll dig them up and show you.”

After saying that, Winston pushed the snow away and started digging.

The atmosphere eased up a little, and Bai Qingqing watched curiously. She soon saw Winston dig out a bunch of yellow tubers from the ground.

“It seems like they aren’t the potatoes I know of,” Bai Qingqing said disappointedly. “But it’s fine as long as they can be eaten. Let’s head back.”

“En. I’ll dig more of them to bring back.”

Winston lowered his head and dug away, his tail swinging unconsciously, revealing his good mood.

These stone fruits only grew on the outer regions of the roots and wouldn’t hurt the root system even if they were dug out. Instead, it was beneficial to the stone fruit tree.

Stone fruit trees liked loose soil, so beastmen would harvest the tubers near its roots to loosen up the soil for them. This would allow the trees to grow even better in the following year.
