章 222: Digging for Bamboo Shoots

After piling up a small mountain of ice blocks, Parker cleared out a clean spot for Bai Qingqing to sit behind and be shielded from the wind.

"Done," Parker said.

Bai Qingqing let out a yawn, tears welling up in her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and looked towards the ground where the roots of the bamboos were.

The ground was nice and even, a patch of dark brown, and not even a hint of green could be seen. As the roots of several bamboos were closely gathered, it was highly possible that there were new offshoots here.

"Try digging next to the roots," Bai Qingqing said with uncertainty. She recalled that winter bamboo shoots remained hidden underground, and those that grew above ground were called spring winter shoots.

Parker dug next to the old bamboo roots, thinking that perhaps the bamboo roots were like the yellow roots of the sweet potatoes.
