By noon, everyone was so hungry their stomachs were stuck to their backs, longing to run outside for a sip of rainwater. The uncle's shout instantly drew all eyes toward him.
At the same time, everyone quickly looked at where they were sitting.
To their surprise, they found that there were quite a few bamboo shoots sprouting around them, as if washed out by the flowing mud.
Everyone was delighted and started digging for bamboo shoots. He Chen and Ye Manman, following everyone else's example, first showed a face of surprise and then began digging for shoots.
Soon, everyone, including the elderly and children, was eating fresh and tender bamboo shoots. Some even knelt on the ground to thank the heavens for giving them a way to survive.
After all, although bamboo shoots help reduce fat, they can not only be eaten raw but also fill the stomach. Everyone was happily chomping on the tender shoots, Ye Manman included, who joyfully ate several.
