Ever since he discovered and tasted the red fruit, Garyâs perception had transformed. Not only were the newfound fruits edible, but they were also incredibly delicious. No longer did he view everything he saw as inedible, as he scoured the surroundings for unfamiliar items not found near the Five Elements Clan, eager to share his findings with the Tribe Chief.
He was determined to explore and experiment, hopeful that some of these novel discoveries might prove edible.
With this mindset, Garyâs excitement was palpable when he spotted the white growth in the distance.
Gu Chaoyan directed her attention to the spot Gary indicated and saw a small patch of white.
She hurried over with anticipation.
Carefully examining the mysterious plant, she noted that it stood at approximately a meter in height, covered in white lumps. If it wasnât cotton, what could it be?
Gu Chaoyan, Gary, and the others were all gathered around. Gary plucked a piece of the white material and took a bite, only to make a face of disappointment. âWhatâs this? Itâs not moist at all. Definitely inedible. Tribe Chief, letâs go. Gary was mistaken. Itâs of no use.â
Gary and his clansmen started to head back with their findings.
However, Gu Chaoyan shook her head with a smile.
âGary, youâve done an excellent job. This substance isnât just useful; itâs incredibly valuable. We can use it to protect ourselves from the winter cold!â Gu Chaoyan was in high spirits as she spoke with a radiant smile.
She also surveyed the area, hoping to find a larger cotton field. The small patch alone wouldnât suffice.
Yet, she had faith that if there was cotton here, there must be an abundance nearby.
As expected, they came across numerous cotton plants.
Fortunately, the lack of rain today had preserved the cotton, preventing any damage.
If they brought back these cotton balls and used them to stave off the cold, the Five Elements Clan wouldnât suffer from the harsh winter cold this year.
âLetâs head back, set down these items, gather more people, and collect them all!â Gu Chaoyan instructed. âRemember where you found these. Weâll need to locate them when we return.â
The clan members nodded, their approval clear.
However, they were still puzzled.
How could these small balls protect them from the cold?
âTribe Chief, what are these things? How can these tiny balls keep us from freezing?â Gary inquired, his confusion apparent.
Gu Chaoyan plucked a few cotton balls and handed them to Gary.
âFeel the texture,â Gu Chaoyan suggested.
Gary held the cotton balls and squeezed and rubbed them.
âDoesnât it resemble the fur of a wild beast?â Gu Chaoyan offered a comparison he could relate to.
The fur of a wild beast?
It did somewhat resemble the fur of a wild rabbit.
HenceâŠ
What did the Tribe Chief mean?
âTribe Chief, are you suggesting that we can use these like the fur of those wild animals?â Gary suddenly comprehended and asked with enthusiasm.
If that were possible,
It would be exceptionally valuable!
They couldnât capture many wild animals. Wild boar skin was inedible, and they didnât dare to challenge larger wild beasts. The few wild rabbits they managed to catch yielded only a limited amount of fur.
But these cotton balls were different.
There were numerous of them.
Imagine what it would be like if they collected them all!
It meant that every member of the Five Elements Clan could have something to keep themselves warm with!
In that scenario, there truly wouldnât be a need to suffer through the winter cold this year!
