At the side of the empty house in the woods, Liu Ji's freshly prepared table of food was still hot.

Then, seemingly having their fill and thoroughly satisfied, the bunch of potatoes rolled onto the grass in front of the wooden house, sprawling out joyfully.

Soon after, they began to dig holes right there.

A while later, the potato-people had buried themselves c
