Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]
Chapter 47
Back in the Heihe Tribe, Lu Er discussed with several other orcs about the divine punishment.
Lie and Yong had never heard of this weird drought, but Jiao was silent for a while, and said: "God's punishment began to appear about 20 years ago, and it devoured a large area of land as soon as it appeared. Almost no land was devoured. Man can live."
"The reason?"
Jiao tilted his head slightly, clenched his hand on his thigh slightly, and then let go, his expression unchanged: "I don't know, but many witch doctors said that it was because some orcs angered the gods, and the gods sent down punishment."
Lu You frowned and pressed his chin lightly.
In the past, he must have scoffed at the idea of gods; but such unscientific things as crossing have happened, as well as the spiritual water ring and the weird drought, it is not impossible for gods to exist in this world.
But things like gods are too far away from them now, and the most important thing right now is to consider the impact of this divine punishment on them.
Not only is this deal with the Heihe Tribe going to go ahead, but also the future of the Redwood Tribe.
On the way to the Heihe Tribe, they noticed that the further they went, the more obvious the drought was. Obviously, the aura had a strong negative impact on the natural environment before the divine punishment officially came.
"According to the news from the Heihe Tribe, the scope of God's punishment is constantly expanding. It is expected that the Heihe Tribe will be included in the next month. That's why the Heihe Tribe is so eager to ask for our trailer."
Lu You briefly summed it up and asked the most critical question - "Will God's Punishment swallow the Redwood Tribe?"
No one can say for sure about this matter. Several orcs looked at each other in blank dismay, and even Jiao was silent.
"Judging from the speed at which Jiao and I ran, Jiao's half-day journey would take a month for God's punishment; Jiao, keep the speed during the day, how long will it take you to go from the Redwood Tribe to the Black River Tribe?"
Jiao thought about it in his mind and replied, "It will take about three days."
"In about half a year, God's punishment will come to the Redwood Tribe." Lu You frowned and thought, "At that time, the warm season is only halfway through."
That period of time should be the time when the crops on the cultivated land grow the fastest, but if the divine punishment comes, the farmland will lack water and the plants will not grow very well.
Quickly looking at Lu Er and Jiao's heavy faces, he asked timidly, "Then what shall we do?"
Jiao glanced at Lu You, was silent for a moment, and then said: "If it doesn't work, we can only migrate to other places like the Heihe tribe."
migration?
The orcs were taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent together.
The migration of orc tribes is actually very common. The water, soil, climate, and natural disasters in a place reduce the prey, and the orcs will consider moving to a better place.
The homes of the orcs are all tents, and it is very convenient to disassemble and camp, and they don't have anything of value to carry, so they can leave as soon as they say it.
The Redwood Tribe used to be like this, and the current position was moved here when Teng was the leader.
But now, they have arable land, a pottery kiln, and even a public toilet...
With the ties of these things, could they still leave as easily as before?
Yong subconsciously wanted to object: "But no matter how far you migrate, what if God's punishment swallows you?"
There is an answer to this question: "After a period of divine punishment is devoured, it will not move again."
Such a regular and vital disaster made the orcs think it was the wrath of the gods.
"That's it, go back to the tribe first, and be prepared: if the divine punishment doesn't affect us, it's best; if it does, we'll prepare to migrate." Lu Er finally came to a conclusion.
……
The deal with the Heihe tribe went smoothly. Lu Er taught the orcs of the Heihe tribe how to make trailers, and the Heihe tribe provided them with the method of making salt.
When Lu Er was in the modern society, he only knew a little bit about the local method of salt production. This time, the method of salt production from the Heihe tribe was confirmed by each other, which gave him sufficient confidence in his own salt production.
The leader of the Heihe Tribe was also very satisfied - the timing of the divine punishment this time was too bad. During the cold season, the orcs stayed at home and didn't even know that the divine punishment had arrived at their doorstep!
In the past, the tribes who encountered God's Punishment had enough time to carry and migrate back and forth, but now they don't have enough time, so they can only hope for the trailer provided by Lu Er.
As for teaching the Redwood Tribe to make salt, the leader is not worried at all.
The population of the Redwood Tribe is so small that the whole tribe is at the stage of being unable to eat. It is all supported by one or two relatively strong orcs, and there is almost no threat to their Heihe tribe.
While instructing the orcs of the Heihe tribe to make trailers, Lu Er also visited the witch doctor of the Heihe tribe.
Because he also has the status of a witch doctor, the witch doctor of the Heihe tribe did not refuse like other orcs, and had a careful exchange with him.
Lu Er was very satisfied with the result of the exchange.
The witch doctor's focus should be on the original doctor, and he has explored many local methods for healing and recuperating on his own.
He gained a lot of knowledge about herbs in this world, and learned about many wild plants that stop bleeding, dispel cold, and reduce inflammation.
Although these herbs are very rare, Lu Er has his own spiritual water, so he can easily cultivate them in batches, and even further optimize them.
The witch doctor of the Heihe Tribe also appreciated the wonderful ideas in the head of this young sub-beast, and strongly invited Lu Er to stay in the Heihe Tribe, and said that he could introduce a powerful and handsome orc to Lu Er.
Of course, this plan was swallowed back by the witch doctor under the threat of Jiao's face clenched and his fists clenched.
On the way back, Lu Er smiled helplessly: "He is so old, why do you scare him like this? I will definitely not leave the Redwood Tribe, don't worry."
Don't be so worried about seeing him so strictly.
With complicated eyes, he gave Lu You a complicated look, then "hummed" slightly from his nose, and did not speak.
……
After finally inspecting and accepting the first finished trailer of the Heihe Tribe, the deal between Lu Er and the Heihe Tribe is considered complete, and he is ready to return to the Redwood Tribe.
When passing by the place where the salt was exchanged, they suddenly heard a sound of dispute.
"After I plant this vine, the roots can fill my stomach!"
"Who would believe such words? After you plant them, you can exchange them for salt!"
The keywords related to farming made Lu Er suddenly interested, and he went over to watch the excitement.
I saw a thin orc holding a few muddy vines in his hands, humbly begging the Heihe tribe to exchange some salt for him.
The orcs of the Heihe tribe now only recognize food, and have no interest in the roots that this orc said can fill their stomachs, and impatiently want to drive him away.
Lu You leaned over to take a look, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.
The leaves of the vine and the orc's description made him recognize at a glance that this "edible root" was the sweet potato that he had been searching for for a long time but could not find!
I didn't expect to find sweet potato plants here!
Lu You stepped forward in surprise and chatted with the thin orc who looked depressed after being rejected.
The orc was not in a good mood after being rejected. Seeing Lu Yi who was wearing a white sweater, his eyes lit up, and he communicated with Lu Yi enthusiastically.
Lu Er originally wanted to use part of the salt to exchange part of the sweet potato vines from the orc, but after the actual conversation, he changed his mind.
This orc is named Shou, and he comes from a small tribe with only a dozen members. There are no powerful orcs in the tribe, and life is very difficult.
It is not easy to hunt enough prey, and the small tribe where the guard is located can only devote their minds to "wrong ways", looking for food to fill their stomachs from trees, water, and ground.
Sweet potatoes are one of their important food sources. They accidentally discovered that the roots of this vine are edible and easy to feed. As long as they are inserted into the mud, the survival rate is very high.
They can find food with painstaking efforts, but they don't know how to make salt; and because they seldom eat animal meat, they have a greater demand for salt, so they rushed to the Heihe Tribe to exchange salt.
But it is difficult for them to eat enough, and they have no extra food to exchange, so they can only bring some sweet potato vines here, hoping to exchange some salt back.
Shou could see that Lu Wei was very interested in the sweet potato vines in his hand, and asked enthusiastically, "Do you have any salt? If so, I can exchange some for you."
"I have salt, but it's not worth it to exchange these few vines." Lu Er looked at Shou's disappointed eyes, stretched out a hand, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to join our tribe?"
Shoudai was stunned for a moment, and then gave a guilty laugh: "Our tribe... doesn't have any strong orcs."
He is already the strongest in the tribe because he is so thin, and he also wanted to join some larger tribes before, so he doesn't have to live in fear.
But their tribe is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and the general tribe is not willing to accept these oil bottles at all.
Of course, Lu You didn't fancy their fighting power.
From the communication just now, Lu You learned that because of their poor strength, they put more emphasis on the use of tools.
The prototypes of tools such as harpoons, fishhooks, spears, and spears have already appeared, and they even began to use simple traps to catch small prey.
Lu You just took a fancy to their creativity.
After Lu Er's explanation, Shou gradually believed in Lu Er's invitation, with a look of surprise on his face, he couldn't help but confirm repeatedly: "You mean, do you want everyone from our tribe?"
Lu Er nodded affirmatively: "Yes, both."
"Great!" Shou turned around excitedly, looked at Lu Yi with burning eyes, "I'll go back and inform them immediately!"
Lu You nodded, and just about to say something, suddenly saw the orc in front of him showing a shy expression: "Well, I want to ask, do you have an orc? Can I pursue you?"
Before Lu You could react, a cold voice full of anger came from behind: "He has an orc!"
Lu Er wanted to attract wild orcs to the Redwood Tribe, but Jiao had no opinion at all; this orc had been looking at Lu Er with bold eyes, and Jiao also looked at Lu Er for the sake of it. It's not too late to hit him again.
It's just that this bastard dared to pursue his Asian beast in front of him? !
when he died?
Jiao hugged Lu Wei forcefully in his arms, and looked at Shou with extremely cold eyes: "Do you want to fight?"
Watching the 1.9-meter tall and strong physique, he took a step back in fright, and said with a dry smile, "No, nothing..."
——Hey, he said, how could there be no orcs in such a good sub-beast? It's all his fault that he hasn't seen a sub-beast for a long time...
Lu You was held in Jiao's arms, and she could almost hear the beating of Jiao's heart, and she could also hear Jiao's jealous voice, and her heart jumped suddenly.
——Jiao... Is this really playing a partner with him?
——Why does it sound like a bit of genuine jealousy?
Although Lu You has never been in a relationship, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running. Thinking about it carefully, Jiao's recent performance seems to be getting more and more over the line, and it has completely exceeded the original agreement that they would serve as shields for each other.
This guess made Lu Wei feel a little confused, so he broke free from Jiao's arm calmly, comforted Shou a little, took Shou back to their tent, and asked Lie and Yong to go with him to get rid of this small tribe that didn't even have a name. The members of the group were taken to the Redwood Tribe.
And he, together with Jiao, Su, and Xiao, accelerated back to the Redwood Tribe.
The car on the return journey was full of salt. Although it was all tied to the animal hides, Lu Er still covered the car with the animal skins to prevent the sudden rain from ruining all the salt they had worked so hard for.
……
On the way back, Jiao felt a subtle change in Lu Er's attitude towards him.
After he persisted in showing off with a big furry lion, Lu Er almost lost resistance to his animal shape. Not only did he often cuddle with him, but he also slept on him at night with confidence;
But now, although it seems that his attitude towards him has not changed, the way he strokes his hair and the distance he sleeps has all changed slightly!
This made Jiao a little anxious. He didn't know where he made Lu Wei unhappy, so he could only become a big lion and take the initiative to have fun.
It's just that the furry method of Bailing used to be tried a hundred times before, but the effect has begun to gradually decrease recently!
He didn't show it on the surface, but he was a little anxious in his heart: what went wrong?
Thinking back carefully, it seems that the subtle change in his sub-beast's attitude towards him began after he left the Heihe tribe.
The big lion walked in front of the trailer, while being alert to the surrounding environment, while trying to think about what happened before and after leaving the Heihe tribe.
After a while, he suddenly remembered something.
At that time, the orc that Lu Er took the initiative to invite was short, thin, and not good-looking, and in his view, he was not a threat at all; but he always judged from the eyes of an orc, but he forgot that Lu Er had said that he liked the type It is the "petite, cute, and coquettish" type!
——Petite...cute...could act like a baby...
——Does his sub-beast like that stupid orc? !
Although no matter what, I can't believe that Lu Yi's vision is bad enough to fall in love with that kind of guy, but the lion thinks about it carefully, that little bastard is the first orc that Lu Yi invited on his own initiative, so he can't ignore it!
The horn was like facing a big enemy, and he planned a hundred ways to threaten that orc to stay away from his sub-beast.
The guard who teamed up with Lie and Yong to go to his small tribe did not know that he had been included in the highest alert target, and looked very strange at his new backer.
——Why do these two orcs named Lie and Yong feel weird?
There are no young sub-beasts in their tribe, so two orcs with disabled legs live together...
Could it be that kind of relationship between these two seemingly strong orcs?
……
Lie and Yong wanted to bring the dozen or so old, weak, sick and disabled all the way back from hunting, and the speed was much slower than them. When Lu Yi and his party returned to the Redwood Tribe, Lie and the others hadn't gone halfway.
Back to the Redwood Tribe, Lu Er first cared about the farming situation in the tribe.
It took nearly a month to go to the Heihe Tribe this time. The preparations before the first batch of seeds were basically completed, and the official planting was short.
The land of Lu Er and Jiao was also rushed by the people in the tribe to complete the work. The loose soil, fertilization and watering were done very well. Even if Lu Er went to see it by himself, he could get a passing grade.
At the same time, the reclamation of the new land was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan before Lu Er's departure, and there were almost no mistakes.
The team of the Giant Tooth Tribe who came to learn how to farm has also been patiently learning from the people of the Redwood Tribe.
Lu You made a general inspection and found that there were basically no problems in the farmland, so he went to Teng's tent.
Xiao and Suo took the salt to find Zhong to distribute the salt to each household. He stepped into the corner of the tent first and explained the issue of divine punishment to Teng.
Teng also heard about the existence of God's Punishment, and his face was worried at this time, and he sighed after a while: "It seems that the beast horde we encountered back then was formed to avoid God's Punishment."
Last year, after they exchanged salt from the Heihe Tribe, they encountered a beast swarm, causing one of them to be seriously injured and the other missing. Afterwards, they speculated about the source of the beast swarm.
Thinking about it now, maybe the wild beasts sensed the coming of divine punishment in advance, and just in time for the migration of wild beasts at the end of the cold season, forming a big wave of wild beasts attacking.
There was also a significant reduction in precipitation in the warm season last year. If you think about it carefully, there are early signs of divine punishment.
"Is there no way to deal with God's punishment?" Lu You looked at the heavy-faced Teng and asked with a frown.
Teng shook his head: "There is no way."
After a pause, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and clapped his hands, "I heard that there is a special tribe. Their orcs can live freely in the land of God's Punishment and will not die. The orcs all put They are called 'angels'."
Lu Wei hadn't spoken yet, but suddenly the corner beside him said forcefully: "It's not an angel."
Teng froze for a moment, then looked at Xiang Jiao.
The silver-haired lion orc's face was slightly gloomy, with a trace of resentment flashing in his blue eyes, and his voice was cold: "They are not envoys of God."
Teng felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't intend to argue with Jiao, so he just nodded: "I just heard about it."
Lu Er had seen the dead land, both animals and plants had lost their vitality, and the whole withered yellow gave him an indescribable sense of ominousness, which made him cautiously dare not set foot on it.
If there are orcs who can live in that land, does it mean that they actually have a way to deal with divine punishment?
Can that method be used on vegetation?
Lu You was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Teng: "If we want to migrate, where should we go?"
Although he is not willing to give up the land he has worked so hard to raise, the wasteland after God's punishment cannot survive at all, and it will be broken when it is broken.
Teng stood up, walked left and right in the tent, pressed his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "With our back facing the direction of the noon sun, we can send the orcs to investigate all the way forward, and come back after finding a suitable place."
The tribal migration is no small matter, but fortunately they still have about half a year to prepare.
After discussion, the three decided that Lu Er was in charge of the tribe's agriculture, and it was better to plant this crop of grain.Half a year is enough for them to harvest a crop of grain. If they really want to migrate, these grains are also very important food.
On the other hand, Teng was responsible for commanding the sub-beasts and orcs in the tribe to prepare for migration in advance while hunting.
They can't wait until God's punishment arrives at the gate of the Redwood Tribe before leaving. The means of transportation, the utensils on the road, and the disposal of the new home need to be prepared in advance.
The horn is in charge of arranging for the fast-moving orcs to investigate along several directions opposite to the divine punishment, looking for a suitable location.
"The new location is best on a plain, and it's best to have a river nearby." Lu Wei added, "Pay attention to the fertility of the land, so that it will be more convenient for us to transform the farmland."
After thinking about it, Lu Er asked again, "Do other tribes want to inform them of this?"
Teng thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision: "I'll go to the Tusk Tribe and talk to the leader of the Tusk Tribe alone."
The relationship between the two is good, and there is no need to hide such a big event.
As for the Xiaoshi tribe who tried to harm them several times, they were tacitly ignored by several people.
……
Coming out of Teng's tent, there happened to be a chubby little red bear lying on the door.
Mang moved his nose, smelled Lu Er's scent, happily changed back into a human form and leaned forward: "Brother is back."
Lu You stroked his soft hair, and replied with a smile: "Well, how is Mang doing these days?"
"I feed my brother's pigs very well!" Mang smiled a little shyly, stroking the head that Lu Er touched just now, "Is my brother injured?"
"No, there are horns protecting me, I'm safe."
After Lu Wei finished saying this, for some reason, she felt a little awkward in her heart. She glanced at Jiao from the corner of her eye, and she saw a flying look on Jiao's face.
Sighing inwardly, he said a few words to Mang and asked Mang to play by himself. Lu Er returned to his home and checked Xiaolu in the pigsty.
What Mang said was right, the pigs he raised had gained weight again, and they were obviously well taken care of; the ground in the pigsty was also cleaned very clean, with no pig manure remaining.
Seeing the familiar relatives, Xiao Lu arched over excitedly; with its current weight, Lu Er staggered directly, and almost fell into Jiao's arms.
Jiao stretched out his hand to support Lu You, and kicked Xiaolu lightly with one foot: "Stupid pig!"
Xiao Lu bumped his nose into Jiao's leg again, and his nose turned red from being touched by Jiao's strong calf, and he "snored" twice aggrievedly.
Feeling Jiao's powerful arm, Lu You felt a sense of strangeness in his heart. He coughed, stood up straight, and gently shook off Jiao's arm.
Ever since she suspected that Jiao was interested in her, Lu You felt that she could no longer get along with Jiao as before.
Every time he has physical contact with Jiao, he always feels a slight sense of awkwardness in his heart, saying that he hates it, but it can't be called liking;
There seems to be no difference between the people's corner and before, but it's just warming up and sleeping together, and occasionally supporting them, maybe it's just being affectionate?
The doubts were hard to dispel, and at night Lu You couldn't help but make a detour to test it: "Jiao, what kind of sub-beast do you like?"
Jiao was taken aback for a moment, and his body froze: "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"Just chat and ask." Lu Er probed further, "Is it convenient for you to tell me?"
The horn's throat moved slightly, and the green eyes watched Lu You unblinking. After a moment of silence, he coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "I like... the sub-beast that will embarrass me."
Lu Er was a little scared by Jiao's gaze at first, and the balance in his heart was somewhat inclined to Jiao's crush on him; after getting Jiao's answer, he was stunned for a moment.
Since he and Jiao have known each other for so long, most of the time they are in a state of respect, and it seems that they have never made Jiao feel ashamed.
——That is to say, Jiao doesn't like herself?
Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, turned the scales back, and thought with some gratitude: Fortunately, I was just being sentimental.
But at night, Jiao walked to the bed with the blanket in his arms, and openly expressed his desire to sleep with Lu Yi: "I have been sleeping together before, and I am not used to sleeping separately."
He made up his mind, if Lu Er doesn't refuse, then that's fine; if he refuses to sleep with his human form, then he will turn into a beast form!
Lu Er: "..."
——So, does Jiao have a crush on herself?
In the end, Lu Er, with unresolved doubts in his heart, refused the request to share the bed with Jiao, and even the animal shape continued to keep the two of them sleeping separately under the pretext that "the bed is too small to bear".
Angled, Jiaojiao hugged the blanket and went back to his nest.
Waking up the next day, Lu Er took the important new crop varieties such as peppers and sweet potatoes that he finally got to the small vegetable garden.
In order not to disturb Lu Yi's use of spiritual water to plant, Jiao didn't go with him. He could only vent his anger on the orcs in the tribe for not being able to sleep together. pause.
At the end of the cold season, Lu Er's small vegetable garden experiment field has regained its vitality, and many weeds have grown, and some seeds he missed last year have also germinated new shoots.
Carrying a simple hoe to dig up the weeds and messy plants, Lu Er re-planned the varieties that he planned to plant.
Because of the threat of God's punishment, Lu Er does not plan to plant the crops that have been cultivated to the same extent last year, and specially cultivates and optimizes the new crops he harvested this time.
Peppers and sweet potatoes are of course the first priority to start breeding.
Leaving aside whether God's Punishment could devour the land of the Redwood Tribe, the drought brought about by the Light Omen is a very serious matter for agriculture.
Corn is drought-resistant, and sweet potatoes are more drought-resistant than corn. Regardless of whether the tribe will migrate or not, sweet potatoes are the biggest trump card to ensure food production.
Chili is an appetizer, and it is also useful for dispelling cold and heating in the cold season; the most important thing is that Lu Er loves spicy food very much.
After coming to this world, he could only rely on the spiciness of pepper to survive. Lu You had been suffering from suffocation for a long time. Now that he got the pepper, he couldn't wait to start cultivating it.
The spicy taste of the original variety of pepper itself is very impressive, and the peppers produced can be picked and used directly. The main direction of Lu Er's breeding is the aroma and taste;
The yield of the original varieties of sweet potatoes is very low, and the starch content in the tubers is very low. It tastes a lot of fiber and tastes bland, so it needs to be cultivated patiently.It is also difficult for them to live on this thing.
This time when Lu You went out, he also found a plant similar to a beet, and the roots contained a lot of sugar.
It's just that this kind of plant seems to need a lot of water. After thinking about it, Lu Er ranked its priority backwards.
The expected severe drought in the future is coming, and sugar beet, which needs a lot of water to irrigate, is temporarily useless.
……
After returning from daily work every day, Lu You also saw Shi Shi who had stayed in their tribe for the whole cold season, squatting on the ridge of the farmland looking at the sky with a sad face.
Seeing Lu Wei passing by, Shi quickly put away his expression and waved happily: "Ah, witch doctor!"
Lu You obviously felt that Shi's attitude towards him had become more respectful and closer, and he was slightly puzzled.
Seeing Lu You's doubts, she stood up from the field ridge, walked over and said enthusiastically as if asking for credit: "I have joined the Redwood Tribe! From now on, we will be a family!"
Lu You's face was blank for a moment, and he looked up and down in some puzzlement.
——The "diplomatic ambassador" of the Giant Fang Tribe was actually "recruited" directly by them?Didn't raise diplomatic issues?
"Your leader agrees?"
Shi Shi smiled nonchalantly: "I didn't agree! Father almost beat me to death, but I still found an opportunity to sneak out—don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
It was only then that Lu Er realized that this silly orc in front of him was actually the child of the leader of the Giant Fang tribe.
However, Teng has always been prudent in dealing with tribal matters. Since Teng accepted the truth, he must have considered the relationship between the two tribes.
"What are you doing here?"
Shi Shi's face quickly became sad, and he turned his head to look at the sub-beasts and the orcs working in the field over there, and said dejectedly: "I have been rejected by the sub-beasts in the tribe, and no one wants me."
Lu You is a little strange, but he looks pretty good too, so it doesn't mean that all the sub-beasts in the tribe look down on him, right?
"I said that I would like to take care of them and not let them do any work." I felt aggrieved, "The sub-beasts in the Giant Fang Tribe love to hear these words, why is the Redwood Tribe different?"
Lu Wei was a little helpless, looked at this confused orc, and explained patiently: "You have to respect them—aside from the gender difference between sub-beasts and orcs, you are all independent individuals, and there should be no one who supports the other. We rely on each other to help each other.”
After being enlightened by Lu Er, the orcs and sub-beasts of the Redwood tribe have been in a state of chicken blood for a long time, and they are full of pride in the tribe that has been built and labored by their own hands.
Shi Shi pondered for a while, then nodded: "I'll try again."
Lu You turned around and saw the tall silver-haired orc standing behind him at some point, looking at him with deep eyes.
For some reason, Lu You raised her heart slightly: "Jiao?"
Jiao pursed his lower lips, took back what he wanted to say, and shook his head: "It's okay, let's go to farm."
He thought about what Lu Er had just said.
Although Lu Er was telling the truth, it obviously represented Lu Er's own values.
--respect?
Jiao tries hard to recall the details of his relationship with Lu Yi, and wonders whether he has respected Lu Yi.
Looking at the pensive expression on Jiao's face, Lu Er's heart became even higher, and she couldn't figure out whether Jiao was interested in her or not.
Beast people's love is frank and straightforward. If Jiao really liked him, it stands to reason that he should have confessed directly; but judging from these side details, it is difficult for Lu Er to rule out this possibility.
This tangled feeling gave Lu You quite a headache. On the one hand, he hoped that it was all his own illusion that he would not lose such a good brother and roommate like Jiao;
He was also able to reject Jiao flatly and decisively.
……
A few days later, Lie Heyong came back with those guards.
Teng had heard about this from Lu Er before, and he trusted Lu Er very much. He immediately arranged for a few orcs to set up tents and prepare food for these people in advance.
The people brought by Shou were indeed old, weak, sick and disabled, including orcs with limited mobility, older sub-beasts, and skinny cubs.
Seeing Lu Er's expression, Shou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly promised: "We are all hardworking, we can do whatever you ask us to do! I can also be a hunting bait!"
Trapping carnivores is a common practice in hunting, using live wounded animals as bait.
Because injured animals may not be able to act according to the wishes of the orcs, some orcs smeared animal blood on themselves to attract wild beasts to attack.
These baits are easy to be injured, like the small stone tribe, they all use their slaves to make them.
In order to let the Redwood Tribe accept them, the guard Lu Er actually promised such a thing in desperation, his face softened, and he smiled: "No need, you should just do what you are good at."
"What are we good at?" Shou and the others looked at each other, a little confused.
Lu You accepted them mainly because of their creativity in daily tools, and asked Zitong to take them to settle down first, and then slowly began to invite them to display their skills.
Shou led his original clansmen into the tent prepared for them, stared at the wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden bench with wide eyes, and tried to sit on it. The height was suitable, and the bottom of the buttocks was soft animal skin, and the bottom was covered with straw. The woven straw mat is soft and will not scatter dry leaves all over the place.
Not long after, Zi Tong came in with a can of millet porridge and a can of stir-fried tofu: "Have some porridge."
On the way to the Redwood Tribe, Shou had listened to Yong briefly introduce the situation of the Redwood Tribe, and knew that they had grown delicious corn and soybeans, but only now could they smell the fragrance.
Considering that they only ate the prey that Lie Heyong caught along the way, millet porridge and fried tofu are more nourishing for the stomach, Hong Yun, who is in charge of cooking, made these home-cooked dishes.
Holding the light and round small ceramic bowl, Shou took a sip of the silky millet porridge, feeling the warmth radiating from the body from the inside out, for some reason, his eyes suddenly became moist.
From now on, he will be someone to rely on.
……
Yong and Lie came back with a bad news.
The land near the Heihe tribe has slowly withered.
God's punishment began to slowly spread to their side.
The Redwood tribe also had to start exploring new migration places.
To explore a new migration site, one must have a good understanding of the population and habits of the Redwood tribe, and be able to live alone in the wild without pressure. To meet Lu Er's requirements for the quality of the land, it is best to have some research on farming.
Those who meet these conditions are none other than horns.
Jiao himself obviously knew about this, even though he was reluctant to leave the sub-beast he hadn't pursued successfully, he said goodbye to Lu Er on the morning of the scheduled departure, ready to embark on the road to find a new home.
Before leaving, Lu Er prepared a small package for Jiao, containing some simple tools, seasonings, and clothes.
Even though he knew that Jiao's field survival experience was much more abundant than his own, Lu Er couldn't help but worry.
——After all, Jiao has lived with him for so long, even if he never thought of becoming a real partner with Jiao, he still has a deep cohabitation friendship.
Jiaojiao looked at the Asian beast in front of him, whose eyes were full of worry and whose ears drooped unconsciously. His heart was full of emotion, and finally he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Lu Wei. Hold him tightly in your arms.
Kissed Lu You's pricked ear lightly, the movement was as gentle as if it was touched by accident, and the horn voice was slightly hoarse: "Wait for me to come back."
After finishing speaking, he let go of Lu Yi, tied the burden loosely around his neck, and then turned into a big lion, running away from the sun, and disappeared in Lu Yi's eyes in a blink of an eye.
Lu You stared blankly at the direction of Jiao Li's departure, subconsciously touched his ears, and suddenly became a little confused.
Lie and Yong had never heard of this weird drought, but Jiao was silent for a while, and said: "God's punishment began to appear about 20 years ago, and it devoured a large area of land as soon as it appeared. Almost no land was devoured. Man can live."
"The reason?"
Jiao tilted his head slightly, clenched his hand on his thigh slightly, and then let go, his expression unchanged: "I don't know, but many witch doctors said that it was because some orcs angered the gods, and the gods sent down punishment."
Lu You frowned and pressed his chin lightly.
In the past, he must have scoffed at the idea of gods; but such unscientific things as crossing have happened, as well as the spiritual water ring and the weird drought, it is not impossible for gods to exist in this world.
But things like gods are too far away from them now, and the most important thing right now is to consider the impact of this divine punishment on them.
Not only is this deal with the Heihe Tribe going to go ahead, but also the future of the Redwood Tribe.
On the way to the Heihe Tribe, they noticed that the further they went, the more obvious the drought was. Obviously, the aura had a strong negative impact on the natural environment before the divine punishment officially came.
"According to the news from the Heihe Tribe, the scope of God's punishment is constantly expanding. It is expected that the Heihe Tribe will be included in the next month. That's why the Heihe Tribe is so eager to ask for our trailer."
Lu You briefly summed it up and asked the most critical question - "Will God's Punishment swallow the Redwood Tribe?"
No one can say for sure about this matter. Several orcs looked at each other in blank dismay, and even Jiao was silent.
"Judging from the speed at which Jiao and I ran, Jiao's half-day journey would take a month for God's punishment; Jiao, keep the speed during the day, how long will it take you to go from the Redwood Tribe to the Black River Tribe?"
Jiao thought about it in his mind and replied, "It will take about three days."
"In about half a year, God's punishment will come to the Redwood Tribe." Lu You frowned and thought, "At that time, the warm season is only halfway through."
That period of time should be the time when the crops on the cultivated land grow the fastest, but if the divine punishment comes, the farmland will lack water and the plants will not grow very well.
Quickly looking at Lu Er and Jiao's heavy faces, he asked timidly, "Then what shall we do?"
Jiao glanced at Lu You, was silent for a moment, and then said: "If it doesn't work, we can only migrate to other places like the Heihe tribe."
migration?
The orcs were taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent together.
The migration of orc tribes is actually very common. The water, soil, climate, and natural disasters in a place reduce the prey, and the orcs will consider moving to a better place.
The homes of the orcs are all tents, and it is very convenient to disassemble and camp, and they don't have anything of value to carry, so they can leave as soon as they say it.
The Redwood Tribe used to be like this, and the current position was moved here when Teng was the leader.
But now, they have arable land, a pottery kiln, and even a public toilet...
With the ties of these things, could they still leave as easily as before?
Yong subconsciously wanted to object: "But no matter how far you migrate, what if God's punishment swallows you?"
There is an answer to this question: "After a period of divine punishment is devoured, it will not move again."
Such a regular and vital disaster made the orcs think it was the wrath of the gods.
"That's it, go back to the tribe first, and be prepared: if the divine punishment doesn't affect us, it's best; if it does, we'll prepare to migrate." Lu Er finally came to a conclusion.
……
The deal with the Heihe tribe went smoothly. Lu Er taught the orcs of the Heihe tribe how to make trailers, and the Heihe tribe provided them with the method of making salt.
When Lu Er was in the modern society, he only knew a little bit about the local method of salt production. This time, the method of salt production from the Heihe tribe was confirmed by each other, which gave him sufficient confidence in his own salt production.
The leader of the Heihe Tribe was also very satisfied - the timing of the divine punishment this time was too bad. During the cold season, the orcs stayed at home and didn't even know that the divine punishment had arrived at their doorstep!
In the past, the tribes who encountered God's Punishment had enough time to carry and migrate back and forth, but now they don't have enough time, so they can only hope for the trailer provided by Lu Er.
As for teaching the Redwood Tribe to make salt, the leader is not worried at all.
The population of the Redwood Tribe is so small that the whole tribe is at the stage of being unable to eat. It is all supported by one or two relatively strong orcs, and there is almost no threat to their Heihe tribe.
While instructing the orcs of the Heihe tribe to make trailers, Lu Er also visited the witch doctor of the Heihe tribe.
Because he also has the status of a witch doctor, the witch doctor of the Heihe tribe did not refuse like other orcs, and had a careful exchange with him.
Lu Er was very satisfied with the result of the exchange.
The witch doctor's focus should be on the original doctor, and he has explored many local methods for healing and recuperating on his own.
He gained a lot of knowledge about herbs in this world, and learned about many wild plants that stop bleeding, dispel cold, and reduce inflammation.
Although these herbs are very rare, Lu Er has his own spiritual water, so he can easily cultivate them in batches, and even further optimize them.
The witch doctor of the Heihe Tribe also appreciated the wonderful ideas in the head of this young sub-beast, and strongly invited Lu Er to stay in the Heihe Tribe, and said that he could introduce a powerful and handsome orc to Lu Er.
Of course, this plan was swallowed back by the witch doctor under the threat of Jiao's face clenched and his fists clenched.
On the way back, Lu Er smiled helplessly: "He is so old, why do you scare him like this? I will definitely not leave the Redwood Tribe, don't worry."
Don't be so worried about seeing him so strictly.
With complicated eyes, he gave Lu You a complicated look, then "hummed" slightly from his nose, and did not speak.
……
After finally inspecting and accepting the first finished trailer of the Heihe Tribe, the deal between Lu Er and the Heihe Tribe is considered complete, and he is ready to return to the Redwood Tribe.
When passing by the place where the salt was exchanged, they suddenly heard a sound of dispute.
"After I plant this vine, the roots can fill my stomach!"
"Who would believe such words? After you plant them, you can exchange them for salt!"
The keywords related to farming made Lu Er suddenly interested, and he went over to watch the excitement.
I saw a thin orc holding a few muddy vines in his hands, humbly begging the Heihe tribe to exchange some salt for him.
The orcs of the Heihe tribe now only recognize food, and have no interest in the roots that this orc said can fill their stomachs, and impatiently want to drive him away.
Lu You leaned over to take a look, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.
The leaves of the vine and the orc's description made him recognize at a glance that this "edible root" was the sweet potato that he had been searching for for a long time but could not find!
I didn't expect to find sweet potato plants here!
Lu You stepped forward in surprise and chatted with the thin orc who looked depressed after being rejected.
The orc was not in a good mood after being rejected. Seeing Lu Yi who was wearing a white sweater, his eyes lit up, and he communicated with Lu Yi enthusiastically.
Lu Er originally wanted to use part of the salt to exchange part of the sweet potato vines from the orc, but after the actual conversation, he changed his mind.
This orc is named Shou, and he comes from a small tribe with only a dozen members. There are no powerful orcs in the tribe, and life is very difficult.
It is not easy to hunt enough prey, and the small tribe where the guard is located can only devote their minds to "wrong ways", looking for food to fill their stomachs from trees, water, and ground.
Sweet potatoes are one of their important food sources. They accidentally discovered that the roots of this vine are edible and easy to feed. As long as they are inserted into the mud, the survival rate is very high.
They can find food with painstaking efforts, but they don't know how to make salt; and because they seldom eat animal meat, they have a greater demand for salt, so they rushed to the Heihe Tribe to exchange salt.
But it is difficult for them to eat enough, and they have no extra food to exchange, so they can only bring some sweet potato vines here, hoping to exchange some salt back.
Shou could see that Lu Wei was very interested in the sweet potato vines in his hand, and asked enthusiastically, "Do you have any salt? If so, I can exchange some for you."
"I have salt, but it's not worth it to exchange these few vines." Lu Er looked at Shou's disappointed eyes, stretched out a hand, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to join our tribe?"
Shoudai was stunned for a moment, and then gave a guilty laugh: "Our tribe... doesn't have any strong orcs."
He is already the strongest in the tribe because he is so thin, and he also wanted to join some larger tribes before, so he doesn't have to live in fear.
But their tribe is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and the general tribe is not willing to accept these oil bottles at all.
Of course, Lu You didn't fancy their fighting power.
From the communication just now, Lu You learned that because of their poor strength, they put more emphasis on the use of tools.
The prototypes of tools such as harpoons, fishhooks, spears, and spears have already appeared, and they even began to use simple traps to catch small prey.
Lu You just took a fancy to their creativity.
After Lu Er's explanation, Shou gradually believed in Lu Er's invitation, with a look of surprise on his face, he couldn't help but confirm repeatedly: "You mean, do you want everyone from our tribe?"
Lu Er nodded affirmatively: "Yes, both."
"Great!" Shou turned around excitedly, looked at Lu Yi with burning eyes, "I'll go back and inform them immediately!"
Lu You nodded, and just about to say something, suddenly saw the orc in front of him showing a shy expression: "Well, I want to ask, do you have an orc? Can I pursue you?"
Before Lu You could react, a cold voice full of anger came from behind: "He has an orc!"
Lu Er wanted to attract wild orcs to the Redwood Tribe, but Jiao had no opinion at all; this orc had been looking at Lu Er with bold eyes, and Jiao also looked at Lu Er for the sake of it. It's not too late to hit him again.
It's just that this bastard dared to pursue his Asian beast in front of him? !
when he died?
Jiao hugged Lu Wei forcefully in his arms, and looked at Shou with extremely cold eyes: "Do you want to fight?"
Watching the 1.9-meter tall and strong physique, he took a step back in fright, and said with a dry smile, "No, nothing..."
——Hey, he said, how could there be no orcs in such a good sub-beast? It's all his fault that he hasn't seen a sub-beast for a long time...
Lu You was held in Jiao's arms, and she could almost hear the beating of Jiao's heart, and she could also hear Jiao's jealous voice, and her heart jumped suddenly.
——Jiao... Is this really playing a partner with him?
——Why does it sound like a bit of genuine jealousy?
Although Lu You has never been in a relationship, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running. Thinking about it carefully, Jiao's recent performance seems to be getting more and more over the line, and it has completely exceeded the original agreement that they would serve as shields for each other.
This guess made Lu Wei feel a little confused, so he broke free from Jiao's arm calmly, comforted Shou a little, took Shou back to their tent, and asked Lie and Yong to go with him to get rid of this small tribe that didn't even have a name. The members of the group were taken to the Redwood Tribe.
And he, together with Jiao, Su, and Xiao, accelerated back to the Redwood Tribe.
The car on the return journey was full of salt. Although it was all tied to the animal hides, Lu Er still covered the car with the animal skins to prevent the sudden rain from ruining all the salt they had worked so hard for.
……
On the way back, Jiao felt a subtle change in Lu Er's attitude towards him.
After he persisted in showing off with a big furry lion, Lu Er almost lost resistance to his animal shape. Not only did he often cuddle with him, but he also slept on him at night with confidence;
But now, although it seems that his attitude towards him has not changed, the way he strokes his hair and the distance he sleeps has all changed slightly!
This made Jiao a little anxious. He didn't know where he made Lu Wei unhappy, so he could only become a big lion and take the initiative to have fun.
It's just that the furry method of Bailing used to be tried a hundred times before, but the effect has begun to gradually decrease recently!
He didn't show it on the surface, but he was a little anxious in his heart: what went wrong?
Thinking back carefully, it seems that the subtle change in his sub-beast's attitude towards him began after he left the Heihe tribe.
The big lion walked in front of the trailer, while being alert to the surrounding environment, while trying to think about what happened before and after leaving the Heihe tribe.
After a while, he suddenly remembered something.
At that time, the orc that Lu Er took the initiative to invite was short, thin, and not good-looking, and in his view, he was not a threat at all; but he always judged from the eyes of an orc, but he forgot that Lu Er had said that he liked the type It is the "petite, cute, and coquettish" type!
——Petite...cute...could act like a baby...
——Does his sub-beast like that stupid orc? !
Although no matter what, I can't believe that Lu Yi's vision is bad enough to fall in love with that kind of guy, but the lion thinks about it carefully, that little bastard is the first orc that Lu Yi invited on his own initiative, so he can't ignore it!
The horn was like facing a big enemy, and he planned a hundred ways to threaten that orc to stay away from his sub-beast.
The guard who teamed up with Lie and Yong to go to his small tribe did not know that he had been included in the highest alert target, and looked very strange at his new backer.
——Why do these two orcs named Lie and Yong feel weird?
There are no young sub-beasts in their tribe, so two orcs with disabled legs live together...
Could it be that kind of relationship between these two seemingly strong orcs?
……
Lie and Yong wanted to bring the dozen or so old, weak, sick and disabled all the way back from hunting, and the speed was much slower than them. When Lu Yi and his party returned to the Redwood Tribe, Lie and the others hadn't gone halfway.
Back to the Redwood Tribe, Lu Er first cared about the farming situation in the tribe.
It took nearly a month to go to the Heihe Tribe this time. The preparations before the first batch of seeds were basically completed, and the official planting was short.
The land of Lu Er and Jiao was also rushed by the people in the tribe to complete the work. The loose soil, fertilization and watering were done very well. Even if Lu Er went to see it by himself, he could get a passing grade.
At the same time, the reclamation of the new land was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan before Lu Er's departure, and there were almost no mistakes.
The team of the Giant Tooth Tribe who came to learn how to farm has also been patiently learning from the people of the Redwood Tribe.
Lu You made a general inspection and found that there were basically no problems in the farmland, so he went to Teng's tent.
Xiao and Suo took the salt to find Zhong to distribute the salt to each household. He stepped into the corner of the tent first and explained the issue of divine punishment to Teng.
Teng also heard about the existence of God's Punishment, and his face was worried at this time, and he sighed after a while: "It seems that the beast horde we encountered back then was formed to avoid God's Punishment."
Last year, after they exchanged salt from the Heihe Tribe, they encountered a beast swarm, causing one of them to be seriously injured and the other missing. Afterwards, they speculated about the source of the beast swarm.
Thinking about it now, maybe the wild beasts sensed the coming of divine punishment in advance, and just in time for the migration of wild beasts at the end of the cold season, forming a big wave of wild beasts attacking.
There was also a significant reduction in precipitation in the warm season last year. If you think about it carefully, there are early signs of divine punishment.
"Is there no way to deal with God's punishment?" Lu You looked at the heavy-faced Teng and asked with a frown.
Teng shook his head: "There is no way."
After a pause, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and clapped his hands, "I heard that there is a special tribe. Their orcs can live freely in the land of God's Punishment and will not die. The orcs all put They are called 'angels'."
Lu Wei hadn't spoken yet, but suddenly the corner beside him said forcefully: "It's not an angel."
Teng froze for a moment, then looked at Xiang Jiao.
The silver-haired lion orc's face was slightly gloomy, with a trace of resentment flashing in his blue eyes, and his voice was cold: "They are not envoys of God."
Teng felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't intend to argue with Jiao, so he just nodded: "I just heard about it."
Lu Er had seen the dead land, both animals and plants had lost their vitality, and the whole withered yellow gave him an indescribable sense of ominousness, which made him cautiously dare not set foot on it.
If there are orcs who can live in that land, does it mean that they actually have a way to deal with divine punishment?
Can that method be used on vegetation?
Lu You was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Teng: "If we want to migrate, where should we go?"
Although he is not willing to give up the land he has worked so hard to raise, the wasteland after God's punishment cannot survive at all, and it will be broken when it is broken.
Teng stood up, walked left and right in the tent, pressed his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "With our back facing the direction of the noon sun, we can send the orcs to investigate all the way forward, and come back after finding a suitable place."
The tribal migration is no small matter, but fortunately they still have about half a year to prepare.
After discussion, the three decided that Lu Er was in charge of the tribe's agriculture, and it was better to plant this crop of grain.Half a year is enough for them to harvest a crop of grain. If they really want to migrate, these grains are also very important food.
On the other hand, Teng was responsible for commanding the sub-beasts and orcs in the tribe to prepare for migration in advance while hunting.
They can't wait until God's punishment arrives at the gate of the Redwood Tribe before leaving. The means of transportation, the utensils on the road, and the disposal of the new home need to be prepared in advance.
The horn is in charge of arranging for the fast-moving orcs to investigate along several directions opposite to the divine punishment, looking for a suitable location.
"The new location is best on a plain, and it's best to have a river nearby." Lu Wei added, "Pay attention to the fertility of the land, so that it will be more convenient for us to transform the farmland."
After thinking about it, Lu Er asked again, "Do other tribes want to inform them of this?"
Teng thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision: "I'll go to the Tusk Tribe and talk to the leader of the Tusk Tribe alone."
The relationship between the two is good, and there is no need to hide such a big event.
As for the Xiaoshi tribe who tried to harm them several times, they were tacitly ignored by several people.
……
Coming out of Teng's tent, there happened to be a chubby little red bear lying on the door.
Mang moved his nose, smelled Lu Er's scent, happily changed back into a human form and leaned forward: "Brother is back."
Lu You stroked his soft hair, and replied with a smile: "Well, how is Mang doing these days?"
"I feed my brother's pigs very well!" Mang smiled a little shyly, stroking the head that Lu Er touched just now, "Is my brother injured?"
"No, there are horns protecting me, I'm safe."
After Lu Wei finished saying this, for some reason, she felt a little awkward in her heart. She glanced at Jiao from the corner of her eye, and she saw a flying look on Jiao's face.
Sighing inwardly, he said a few words to Mang and asked Mang to play by himself. Lu Er returned to his home and checked Xiaolu in the pigsty.
What Mang said was right, the pigs he raised had gained weight again, and they were obviously well taken care of; the ground in the pigsty was also cleaned very clean, with no pig manure remaining.
Seeing the familiar relatives, Xiao Lu arched over excitedly; with its current weight, Lu Er staggered directly, and almost fell into Jiao's arms.
Jiao stretched out his hand to support Lu You, and kicked Xiaolu lightly with one foot: "Stupid pig!"
Xiao Lu bumped his nose into Jiao's leg again, and his nose turned red from being touched by Jiao's strong calf, and he "snored" twice aggrievedly.
Feeling Jiao's powerful arm, Lu You felt a sense of strangeness in his heart. He coughed, stood up straight, and gently shook off Jiao's arm.
Ever since she suspected that Jiao was interested in her, Lu You felt that she could no longer get along with Jiao as before.
Every time he has physical contact with Jiao, he always feels a slight sense of awkwardness in his heart, saying that he hates it, but it can't be called liking;
There seems to be no difference between the people's corner and before, but it's just warming up and sleeping together, and occasionally supporting them, maybe it's just being affectionate?
The doubts were hard to dispel, and at night Lu You couldn't help but make a detour to test it: "Jiao, what kind of sub-beast do you like?"
Jiao was taken aback for a moment, and his body froze: "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"Just chat and ask." Lu Er probed further, "Is it convenient for you to tell me?"
The horn's throat moved slightly, and the green eyes watched Lu You unblinking. After a moment of silence, he coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "I like... the sub-beast that will embarrass me."
Lu Er was a little scared by Jiao's gaze at first, and the balance in his heart was somewhat inclined to Jiao's crush on him; after getting Jiao's answer, he was stunned for a moment.
Since he and Jiao have known each other for so long, most of the time they are in a state of respect, and it seems that they have never made Jiao feel ashamed.
——That is to say, Jiao doesn't like herself?
Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, turned the scales back, and thought with some gratitude: Fortunately, I was just being sentimental.
But at night, Jiao walked to the bed with the blanket in his arms, and openly expressed his desire to sleep with Lu Yi: "I have been sleeping together before, and I am not used to sleeping separately."
He made up his mind, if Lu Er doesn't refuse, then that's fine; if he refuses to sleep with his human form, then he will turn into a beast form!
Lu Er: "..."
——So, does Jiao have a crush on herself?
In the end, Lu Er, with unresolved doubts in his heart, refused the request to share the bed with Jiao, and even the animal shape continued to keep the two of them sleeping separately under the pretext that "the bed is too small to bear".
Angled, Jiaojiao hugged the blanket and went back to his nest.
Waking up the next day, Lu Er took the important new crop varieties such as peppers and sweet potatoes that he finally got to the small vegetable garden.
In order not to disturb Lu Yi's use of spiritual water to plant, Jiao didn't go with him. He could only vent his anger on the orcs in the tribe for not being able to sleep together. pause.
At the end of the cold season, Lu Er's small vegetable garden experiment field has regained its vitality, and many weeds have grown, and some seeds he missed last year have also germinated new shoots.
Carrying a simple hoe to dig up the weeds and messy plants, Lu Er re-planned the varieties that he planned to plant.
Because of the threat of God's punishment, Lu Er does not plan to plant the crops that have been cultivated to the same extent last year, and specially cultivates and optimizes the new crops he harvested this time.
Peppers and sweet potatoes are of course the first priority to start breeding.
Leaving aside whether God's Punishment could devour the land of the Redwood Tribe, the drought brought about by the Light Omen is a very serious matter for agriculture.
Corn is drought-resistant, and sweet potatoes are more drought-resistant than corn. Regardless of whether the tribe will migrate or not, sweet potatoes are the biggest trump card to ensure food production.
Chili is an appetizer, and it is also useful for dispelling cold and heating in the cold season; the most important thing is that Lu Er loves spicy food very much.
After coming to this world, he could only rely on the spiciness of pepper to survive. Lu You had been suffering from suffocation for a long time. Now that he got the pepper, he couldn't wait to start cultivating it.
The spicy taste of the original variety of pepper itself is very impressive, and the peppers produced can be picked and used directly. The main direction of Lu Er's breeding is the aroma and taste;
The yield of the original varieties of sweet potatoes is very low, and the starch content in the tubers is very low. It tastes a lot of fiber and tastes bland, so it needs to be cultivated patiently.It is also difficult for them to live on this thing.
This time when Lu You went out, he also found a plant similar to a beet, and the roots contained a lot of sugar.
It's just that this kind of plant seems to need a lot of water. After thinking about it, Lu Er ranked its priority backwards.
The expected severe drought in the future is coming, and sugar beet, which needs a lot of water to irrigate, is temporarily useless.
……
After returning from daily work every day, Lu You also saw Shi Shi who had stayed in their tribe for the whole cold season, squatting on the ridge of the farmland looking at the sky with a sad face.
Seeing Lu Wei passing by, Shi quickly put away his expression and waved happily: "Ah, witch doctor!"
Lu You obviously felt that Shi's attitude towards him had become more respectful and closer, and he was slightly puzzled.
Seeing Lu You's doubts, she stood up from the field ridge, walked over and said enthusiastically as if asking for credit: "I have joined the Redwood Tribe! From now on, we will be a family!"
Lu You's face was blank for a moment, and he looked up and down in some puzzlement.
——The "diplomatic ambassador" of the Giant Fang Tribe was actually "recruited" directly by them?Didn't raise diplomatic issues?
"Your leader agrees?"
Shi Shi smiled nonchalantly: "I didn't agree! Father almost beat me to death, but I still found an opportunity to sneak out—don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
It was only then that Lu Er realized that this silly orc in front of him was actually the child of the leader of the Giant Fang tribe.
However, Teng has always been prudent in dealing with tribal matters. Since Teng accepted the truth, he must have considered the relationship between the two tribes.
"What are you doing here?"
Shi Shi's face quickly became sad, and he turned his head to look at the sub-beasts and the orcs working in the field over there, and said dejectedly: "I have been rejected by the sub-beasts in the tribe, and no one wants me."
Lu You is a little strange, but he looks pretty good too, so it doesn't mean that all the sub-beasts in the tribe look down on him, right?
"I said that I would like to take care of them and not let them do any work." I felt aggrieved, "The sub-beasts in the Giant Fang Tribe love to hear these words, why is the Redwood Tribe different?"
Lu Wei was a little helpless, looked at this confused orc, and explained patiently: "You have to respect them—aside from the gender difference between sub-beasts and orcs, you are all independent individuals, and there should be no one who supports the other. We rely on each other to help each other.”
After being enlightened by Lu Er, the orcs and sub-beasts of the Redwood tribe have been in a state of chicken blood for a long time, and they are full of pride in the tribe that has been built and labored by their own hands.
Shi Shi pondered for a while, then nodded: "I'll try again."
Lu You turned around and saw the tall silver-haired orc standing behind him at some point, looking at him with deep eyes.
For some reason, Lu You raised her heart slightly: "Jiao?"
Jiao pursed his lower lips, took back what he wanted to say, and shook his head: "It's okay, let's go to farm."
He thought about what Lu Er had just said.
Although Lu Er was telling the truth, it obviously represented Lu Er's own values.
--respect?
Jiao tries hard to recall the details of his relationship with Lu Yi, and wonders whether he has respected Lu Yi.
Looking at the pensive expression on Jiao's face, Lu Er's heart became even higher, and she couldn't figure out whether Jiao was interested in her or not.
Beast people's love is frank and straightforward. If Jiao really liked him, it stands to reason that he should have confessed directly; but judging from these side details, it is difficult for Lu Er to rule out this possibility.
This tangled feeling gave Lu You quite a headache. On the one hand, he hoped that it was all his own illusion that he would not lose such a good brother and roommate like Jiao;
He was also able to reject Jiao flatly and decisively.
……
A few days later, Lie Heyong came back with those guards.
Teng had heard about this from Lu Er before, and he trusted Lu Er very much. He immediately arranged for a few orcs to set up tents and prepare food for these people in advance.
The people brought by Shou were indeed old, weak, sick and disabled, including orcs with limited mobility, older sub-beasts, and skinny cubs.
Seeing Lu Er's expression, Shou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly promised: "We are all hardworking, we can do whatever you ask us to do! I can also be a hunting bait!"
Trapping carnivores is a common practice in hunting, using live wounded animals as bait.
Because injured animals may not be able to act according to the wishes of the orcs, some orcs smeared animal blood on themselves to attract wild beasts to attack.
These baits are easy to be injured, like the small stone tribe, they all use their slaves to make them.
In order to let the Redwood Tribe accept them, the guard Lu Er actually promised such a thing in desperation, his face softened, and he smiled: "No need, you should just do what you are good at."
"What are we good at?" Shou and the others looked at each other, a little confused.
Lu You accepted them mainly because of their creativity in daily tools, and asked Zitong to take them to settle down first, and then slowly began to invite them to display their skills.
Shou led his original clansmen into the tent prepared for them, stared at the wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden bench with wide eyes, and tried to sit on it. The height was suitable, and the bottom of the buttocks was soft animal skin, and the bottom was covered with straw. The woven straw mat is soft and will not scatter dry leaves all over the place.
Not long after, Zi Tong came in with a can of millet porridge and a can of stir-fried tofu: "Have some porridge."
On the way to the Redwood Tribe, Shou had listened to Yong briefly introduce the situation of the Redwood Tribe, and knew that they had grown delicious corn and soybeans, but only now could they smell the fragrance.
Considering that they only ate the prey that Lie Heyong caught along the way, millet porridge and fried tofu are more nourishing for the stomach, Hong Yun, who is in charge of cooking, made these home-cooked dishes.
Holding the light and round small ceramic bowl, Shou took a sip of the silky millet porridge, feeling the warmth radiating from the body from the inside out, for some reason, his eyes suddenly became moist.
From now on, he will be someone to rely on.
……
Yong and Lie came back with a bad news.
The land near the Heihe tribe has slowly withered.
God's punishment began to slowly spread to their side.
The Redwood tribe also had to start exploring new migration places.
To explore a new migration site, one must have a good understanding of the population and habits of the Redwood tribe, and be able to live alone in the wild without pressure. To meet Lu Er's requirements for the quality of the land, it is best to have some research on farming.
Those who meet these conditions are none other than horns.
Jiao himself obviously knew about this, even though he was reluctant to leave the sub-beast he hadn't pursued successfully, he said goodbye to Lu Er on the morning of the scheduled departure, ready to embark on the road to find a new home.
Before leaving, Lu Er prepared a small package for Jiao, containing some simple tools, seasonings, and clothes.
Even though he knew that Jiao's field survival experience was much more abundant than his own, Lu Er couldn't help but worry.
——After all, Jiao has lived with him for so long, even if he never thought of becoming a real partner with Jiao, he still has a deep cohabitation friendship.
Jiaojiao looked at the Asian beast in front of him, whose eyes were full of worry and whose ears drooped unconsciously. His heart was full of emotion, and finally he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Lu Wei. Hold him tightly in your arms.
Kissed Lu You's pricked ear lightly, the movement was as gentle as if it was touched by accident, and the horn voice was slightly hoarse: "Wait for me to come back."
After finishing speaking, he let go of Lu Yi, tied the burden loosely around his neck, and then turned into a big lion, running away from the sun, and disappeared in Lu Yi's eyes in a blink of an eye.
Lu You stared blankly at the direction of Jiao Li's departure, subconsciously touched his ears, and suddenly became a little confused.
