Bab 243: 243. Getting punished for his stray eyes

Taro shook his head. ''They made their own garden in spring. I am considering doing the same down the hill. Growing our own food would not be a bad idea. We will need to feed more people in town and the pressure on that sect will lessen. For now, they are providing everyone with vegetables as no one is so successful in finding plants as their sect.''

Everyone went silent for a while until one of his people spoke. ''Chief, can we not send more people. We can use the next few days to gather food. Then those that got the food can prepare it for winter. I mean does that make any sense?''

But taro denied his request. ''I am trying to sue as many warm days to finish the quest. If we do that, Taskmaster will help us with one request. I wanted to ask him to give us more food before this but now I think that request is not valid anymore. What else can we ask him?''
