Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

After more than a month's long journey, the Redwood Tribe's convoy finally arrived at their destination safely and completely.

The terrain is the same as the scene described to them at the beginning, with a huge lake next to the vast plain, and a long and smooth river in the distance.Although it is the closest to God's Punishment among the three locations, it seems to be completely unaffected by God's Punishment because of the cool breeze and lush foliage.

Looking at the sparkling lake and the endless plain, everyone stopped in surprise, looked left and right, and held each other's hands tightly.

After traveling for more than a month, this is their new home.

Lu Er stopped, knelt down and twirled a handful of soil, took it to his nose and briefly smelled it.

Judging from the feel and smell of the soil, the land here is quite fertile, which is many times stronger than the acidic red soil before the Redwood Tribe.

It is much easier to transform this level of soil into good land, and the yield per mu of food planting will be higher.

The previous land conditions of the Redwood Tribe were too poor, and it took many years of transformation to truly become fertile land.

Next to it is a lake with living water sources, the overall terrain is gentle, the soil quality is excellent, and there are forests and shrubs in the distance.

Lu You was very satisfied with the natural environment here, and gently scratched Xiaomi's chin: "The location is good."

Xiao Mi looked up at him resentfully.

Kitty Zai'er didn't miss the surprise and satisfaction on Lu Er's face just now, it was exactly the same as the expression he expected at the beginning.

However, it now does not expect Lueer to have a closer relationship with it because of its efforts.

——It would be nice to ease the delicate relationship between them.

The relationship between a man and a cat is a little weird right now.

After first discovering that Xiao Mi and Jiao are the same person, Lu You felt a lot of emotions brewing in his heart, and was rarely at a loss;

Later, Xiaomi acted coquettishly and cutely, looking at him with big watery eyes, which made him calm down unconsciously.

Even though he knew that Xiao Mi's body lived in an adult orc with a heart, and that he was begging for mercy by being coquettish and cute, but Lu You still couldn't get angry at such a soft and cute kitten.

Therefore, after migrating all the way, some intimacy between Lu You and Xiaomi has been restored.

It's just that Lu You still has scruples about the horns that harbor "wrong intentions" towards him. She deliberately avoided the soft and warm fur belly that she wanted to touch many times before, and only stroked Xiao Mi's head, back, and tail.

Xiao Mi was still hesitating: if Lu Er wants to touch its furry belly, should it sacrifice the last bit of dignity and let it play with it?

But Lu Yi obviously wanted to avoid its key parts, but instead gave it a sense of crisis.

——Does its sub-beast not love it enough?

Dignity was easily left behind, and Xiao Mi quietly showed her fur belly every day to attract Lu Rui to masturbate.

……

After arriving at the new home, after the initial exciting period, Teng first ordered the most elite orcs to go to this place to check for dangerous beasts.

Although Jiao once said that he had cleaned up the powerful beasts nearby when he came to find the location, after all, several months have passed, and there may be new crisis factors.

The sub-beasts subconsciously gathered around Lu Er and asked Lu Er what to do next.

If it was before, they must have set up camp now; but the building called "House" that Lu Er showed them before moving out attracted their attention.

Zi Tong asked with concern: "Lu Er, what are we doing now, pitching tents or starting to build courtyards?"

They can't wait to live in the courtyard.

Lu Er was a little helpless: "Put up the tent first, building a house is very slow."

"Okay, then let's go to pitch the tent first, and you can tell us when we need to work." Zi Tong asked with some disappointment.

Because of Jiao's "misfortune", Teng and Mang took the initiative to help Lu Er set up the tent, instead of letting him do it himself, let Lu Er go to relax.

Lu You couldn't resist them, so he had to walk around with his cat in his arms, just to see the nearby vegetation.

Walking by the lake, watching the beaver brothers swimming in the water to check the underwater dangers, Lu Er began to think about the tribe's next plan.

On the way of relocation, Lu Er has already made a rough plan in his heart.

He originally planned to live in a tent for the time being, and cultivate the fields to plant food first.

But after coming to this almost perfect point of application of farming civilization, Lu Er plans to adjust.

The food carried on the convoy is based on the longest consumption—that is, the amount that can only be settled after going around three places.

In fact, because the orcs can hunt half the time, the rations they carry now can last at least until the end of the year.

Now the sweet potato is still in the third and fourth generations of Lingshui breeding, and the growth cycle is short. If it is promoted on a large scale, a batch can be harvested before the cold season comes.

The quality of the soil here is good. After simple slash-and-burn farming, it is enough to grow a crop of sweet potatoes.

Calculated in this way, for the remaining half of this year, the main energy of the tribe can actually be put on construction rather than planting.

Because many sub-beasts were pregnant with cubs in the last cold season, and now most of them have big bellies, and it is estimated that they will give birth in two or three months.

With a clear mind, Lu Er began to think about building a house.

There is no cement in this world, and he doesn't know how to make cement, so he can only consider rural earthen houses for house construction.

The climate in this area is more temperate, and the wind and rain are not very violent. The adobe brick house is far stronger than a tent, and it should be enough to shelter the orcs from the wind and rain.

When Lu Er was studying the history of agricultural development, he had learned about the construction process of some adobe brick houses, but the details still had to be worked out slowly.

Burning adobe bricks requires suitable clay, mixing, and a brick kiln;

To build a house, you need to dig foundations, build beams, and burn tiles...

——There are many things to consider.

Lu You thought for a while, then looked back to find a few relatively leisurely sub-beasts, and asked them to join him in finding clay that could be used to burn clay bricks.

In addition, I found a few strong orcs to find a place to dig a pit for mixing clay, and asked "carpenter" Feng to make more molds for clay brick embryos, and finally the rest of the people went to trim the brick kiln.

Building houses is a major event for the whole tribe, and of course the whole tribe must be mobilized together.

Brick kilns are similar in nature to pottery kilns.In the past year, in order to improve the temperature and stability of the pottery kiln, Lu Er led the pottery firing team to do several renovations. This time, the old experience can be used to build a brick kiln for firing clay bricks.

The current "team leader" of the pottery firing group is Feng's sub-beast Shuang Er, who is steady and serious. After Lu Er explained to him the problems related to firing pottery kilns, he patiently wrote them down one by one.

"You plan and build the brick kiln yourself, and you can ask me if you don't understand." Lu You finally emphasized, "You can try to adjust the manpower and soil needed in the middle."

Shuang Er hesitated for a moment, and tugged at the grass and rattan skirt on her body with some unease: "This... am I doing well?"

"If you can't do it well, you have to do it." Lu You patted him on the shoulder, "I don't understand either, let's explore together."

Lu You began to notice a while ago that the sub-beasts of the Redwood Tribe seemed to have a blind obedience towards him.

No matter what you think he is right, no matter what problem you think he can solve...

It feels good to be admired, but Lu Er pulled the sub-beasts and orcs out of the quagmire of ignorance, not to tame them into fanatics who only know how to respond.

Before absorbing a group of guards into the tribe, the Redwood tribe did not produce many tools that should have appeared with the emergence of farming.

Both orcs and sub-beasts need independent thinking skills and problem-solving attempts.

This time, Lu Wei made his attitude clear by burning bricks to build a house: "Building an earth-brick house requires everyone's collective efforts. I only came up with a general direction and plan. How to realize it depends on everyone's own research."

To Lu Er's relief, the orcs and sub-beasts did not show any disappointment while being surprised, but a few of them were a little ashamed, thinking that they were dragging Lu Er down.

The prospect of the courtyard house is so bright, everyone is full of energy, put up a simple tent, and started to study the modules they are responsible for.

The orcs who were injured in order to withstand the pressure of the wild beasts in the beast tide were not idle.The tribe did not bring extra baskets when they migrated. During the recuperation period, they used dried rattan to weave large and small baskets or back baskets for others to carry soil or sand.

As for Lu You, he originally wanted to participate in the more critical clay blending work, but was dissuaded by Teng.

Because of the past, Teng was very worried about his mental state, advised him to rest and relax, and sent him the little Xiong Mang and the little fox Lidu who had played best with Lu Er before.

The two cubs have grown up a lot, but they still love to be with Lu Er and be rubbed by Lu Er.

Xiao Mi lay on Lu You's shoulder, and after listening to Teng's suggestion, the fur on her body was about to explode.

——How could those two little "rivals" get involved at such a critical moment? !

Lu You glanced at the kitty outside, with a smile in his eyes: "No need, let them do more for the tribe, I'll just play with Xiaomi."

Rejecting Mang and Li's company was not out of consideration for Xiaomi's mood, but because Lu Er wanted to talk to Xiaomi about something.

They had lost each other for so long, and now that they finally had time to be alone, it was time for a little talk.

The lake here is very clear, and there are many strange plants growing on the ground by the lake, as well as some thorns hidden behind the tender green leaves.

Walking by the lake with the kitten in his arms, Lu You got scratched several times on his leg. He found a clean place to sit down helplessly. While helping Xiao Mi to smooth her hair, he looked at the calm lake. After a while Then he lowered his head and sighed silently, and said, "Xiao Mi, you should know that I'm not green-eared, right?"

This is the first time he has explicitly addressed the subject.

Xiao Mi raised her head and let out a slight "woo".

"I didn't take the initiative to occupy Lu Er's body." Lu You found a place to sit down, put Xiao Mi on his knees, and looked at it calmly, "When I came through, he was already dead."

This is the first thing he wants to clarify.

Xiao Mi looked up at him, and gently stretched out a small paw to rest on his hand.

——There is no need for Lu Er to explain this point. It has been with Lu Er for so long, and it fully understands Lu Er's character and bottom line.

Sensing Kitty's understanding, Lu You smiled slightly, then restrained his smile, and looked solemn: "I'm not from your world, but I promise I have no ill will towards you—the impact of agriculture on tribal development The benefits, I believe you also understand, otherwise you won't always support me."

Xiao Mi remained motionless, tilting her head slightly, her eyes a little confused.

"I'm in my world, similar to your 'orc' character—so, I may not be able to accept forming a partner with an orc." Lu You patted Xiaomi's head earnestly, her voice softened a lot, "What's more, we all have our own secrets, we are not from the same world... Do you understand what I mean?"

Although Lu Er spoke firmly, his hands clenched slightly, and he paused after speaking.

It seems that he himself is a little uncertain.

Xiao Mi looked up at him, Lu You lowered her head and looked at Xiao Mi's beautiful eyes like a piece of emeralds for a while, and suddenly felt the kitten pounce on him, and the soft kitten's mouth gently pressed against him. On his lips, and then pulled away instantly.

Then the kitten jumped off Lu You's knee and ran away without looking back.

Lu You was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but before he stretched out his hand and shouted, the voice was stuck in his throat.

After a long silence, Lu You exhaled softly and stood where he was, with a gloomy expression on his face.

——If Jiao can understand what he means and draw a clear line with him from now on, wouldn't that be achieving his goal?

——Why are you still not happy?

Lu You stood up, patted the grass leaves stuck to her body, and walked silently by the lake, trying to ignore the strange feeling in her heart, and trying to focus on the business.

Judging from Lu You's understanding of Jiao, Jiao's nature is by no means an ungrateful person who repays kindness with revenge. It is also common for orcs to fail in their pursuit of sub-beasts. Presumably Jiao will not become angry because he refuses him.

Originally, Lu Er planned to briefly explain his future plans with Xiaomi—he still had many crystallizations of human civilization that he wanted to show, such as writing, weights and measures, etc., but he was worried that these things would be too prominent and would expose his identity.

No matter how powerful a witch doctor is, it is impossible for him to create a whole set of characters with complete grammar and norms by himself.

Cangjie created characters many years after the appearance of pictographs, summarizing and summarizing on the basis of predecessors, and created the first few characters.

Now that Jiao already knows his identity, Lu You would like to ask what is the upper limit that orcs can accept from Jiao's point of view.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mi ran away directly.

Lu Er stopped beside a rough tree that looked like a willow by the lake, and sighed softly.

Jiao is really a good roommate and friend.

Hope he can figure it out soon.

I was still thinking about something, when suddenly the lake in front of me parted, and a huge monster came out with a "crash".

Lu You subconsciously raised the crossbow at his waist and wanted to shoot. The huge monster suddenly turned into an orc, and hurriedly shouted: "Lu Er, don't, don't! I'm real!"

Lu You was stunned for a moment, then put down the crossbow that was about to be shot: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm patrolling in the water, and I'll come and take a look when I see you walking around here." Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the crossbow with some trepidation.

He also knew the power of this small weapon during the migration. Many Asian beasts easily shot and killed many ferocious beasts with it.

Even though his animal-shaped rhinoceros had rough skin and thick flesh, it still hurt a lot after being hit like this.

"Green ear, what are you doing here?"

"take a walk."

Standing there scratching his head and scratching his head, he hesitated for a long time, finally stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Lv Er, about the horn...don't be too sad."

Knowing that everyone in the tribe thought he was heartbroken, Lu You didn't bother to explain, so he just nodded: "Okay."

I thought Shi just came here to comfort myself, but I didn't expect that Shi straightened his chest, clenched his fist and smashed his shoulder, staring at Lu You seriously: "Lu Er, I can take care of you!"

Lu You was surprised for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Really, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, a little uneasy: "Uh, don't you like me like this?"

He had failed in pursuing the sub-beasts of the Redwood Tribe before, and he was a little frustrated at first; after Jiao passed away, he saw Lu Er's "sad and sad" look, and for some reason he had a strong desire to protect, and he confessed directly on impulse.

Lu You could tell at a glance that this guy in front of him was the same as the orc who pursued the sub-beasts in the previous warm season, but he just had a simple liking for him, which was far from a true liking.

However, he was not interested in giving Shishi an emotional enlightenment class, so he took out his usual rhetoric without thinking: "I'm sorry, I don't want anyone except the horns."

As soon as the words came out, before there was any response, Lu Er was stunned.

——He hasn't said this reason for a long time.

The last time I said it was last year when Jiao hadn't come back and I was still holding the kitten, I used this reason to block many orcs from pursuing.

At that time, I thought that Jiao was dead, so I pulled this shield with peace of mind; now that I know that Jiao is safe and sound, why subconsciously use this reason?

All kinds of thoughts were entangled in my head, and the first thought that popped up was: Fortunately, Xiaomi ran away, otherwise it would know, and I don't know how to misunderstand myself...

The front foot draws a clear line with others and says it is unacceptable, and the back foot uses others as a shield to reject other orcs.

Lu You felt a bit bitch when he thought about it.

——Let’s change the reason later...

I really didn't understand Lu You's complicated mood, only a little frustrated, and asked unwillingly: "But if you don't find orcs, how can you give birth to cubs?"

Lu You has been asked this question many times, and the standard answer subconsciously blurted out: "I'm only a cub with horns."

If it wasn't for standing firmly in front of him, Lu You would really like to use the cold lake water to wake himself up.

——What was I thinking just now?

Seeing that Lu Wei's attitude was very firm, he slumped his shoulders in frustration, said goodbye dejectedly, and returned to the water to continue patrolling.

After joining the Redwood Tribe for so long, Shi really wanted to find a sub-beast he liked and start a family.

The sub-beasts of the Redwood tribe all have a confident smile on their faces. They are very different from the sub-beasts of other tribes. They go out to work full of energy every day, and they treat the orcs calmly and generously.

I really like this feeling, but I don't know if it's bad luck, so far no Asian beast is willing to accept him.

——Now Lu Er has rejected her outright and decisively... Is he going to be single all the time in the future?

Before entering the water, I couldn't help but look back at Lu Wei, and found that Lu Wei was still standing there, looking over from a distance, even more dazed than myself.

……

Walking around the lake, with a mess of thoughts in his head, Lu Er decided to return to work and let labor drive away the distracting thoughts in his heart.

It's not that he really has nothing to do, he has to decide the geographical plan of the new tribe.

The tents in the tribe have all been set up, but they are not the spacious and stable big tents before, similar to the temporary tents they used on the migration road.

Everyone wants to live in the courtyard as soon as possible, and is reluctant to waste too much energy in other places.

A large piece of flat land was reserved for the tribe to build a courtyard house. According to Lu Er's previous instructions, someone has dug away shrubs, tree roots, and large stones to prepare for the foundation.

Up to now, there are about 200 orcs and about [-] families of orcs following the Redwood Tribe's convoy.

It is wasteful and unrealistic to build a courtyard for every household. The ideal situation is that three or four families share a courtyard.

In this way, twenty sets of courtyard houses can accommodate all the families in the tribe.

The buildings in the tribe must not only need courtyard houses, but now there are also threshing grounds in the tribe before, and there is also a martial arts arena for the special training of orcs...

In the foreseeable future, the scale of the tribe will become larger and larger, and the scalability of the tribe must also be considered.

This is also the first time for Lu Er to carry out "urban planning". Without the guidance of theoretical knowledge, he can only rely on the village and town planning he has seen when he has been to towns and villages.

There is no pen and paper in this world now, so Lu You can only make a simple plan on the sand first, and then draw it on the animal skin with charcoal after it is confirmed.

After painting for a while, Lu Er was a little dissatisfied with the result. When he was about to brush off and repaint, a fluffy kitten stepped on the sand, leaving a plum blossom-like paw print.

Lu You raised her head, saw Xiao Mi, and was stunned: "Xiao Mi is back?"

This kitten has a very serious face at the moment. Although the furry cat's head looks a bit naive, the expression in its eyes is very serious.

Lu You felt that Xiao Mi seemed to have something important to tell him, put down the wooden stick in his hand, and straightened his face a lot: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Mi flicked her tail, suddenly jumped onto Lu You's shoulder, raised a paw, sharp nails suddenly appeared, and slashed down with a "chi la"!

A deep wound was exposed on the kitten's other paw, and bright red blood suddenly overflowed.

Lu You was taken aback, and quickly hugged Xiaomi: "What are you doing?!"

He hurriedly turned his head to look for herbs to stop the bleeding in his tent, but was stopped by the little cat.

Xiao Mi stretched out her bleeding paw to Lu You's mouth and scratched it gently.

Lu You frowned and asked tentatively, "Open your mouth?"

Xiao Mi nodded, her green eyes were serious.

Lu You hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth slightly out of trust in Xiaomi.

Xiao Mi flicked her bleeding paw, and threw a few drops of fresh blood into Lu You's mouth.

When Xiaomi asked him to open his mouth, Lu You guessed that Xiaomi probably wanted to taste its blood, but he didn't know the reason.

When the cat's blood came in, it didn't have the bloody smell that Lu Wei had imagined, but instead had a slight sweetness, like some kind of fruit juice.

Normal blood would definitely not taste like this.

Before Lu You could think of the reason, he suddenly felt a hot current rising from his lower abdomen, covering his limbs and bones in an instant, and his whole body instantly became full of energy.

This feeling is a bit similar to drinking spiritual water, but it is stronger than spiritual water.

After drinking the spiritual water, I can only feel that it has purely replenished energy, which is almost the same as eating a full meal; but the few drops of cat blood from Xiao Mi gave Lu Yi a feeling of eliminating the exhaustion of the whole body and replenishing a lot of vitality .

His calf felt a little itchy. Looking carefully, he found that the wound left by his previous injury had scabbed and fallen off in the shortest time, and he looked brand new.

There was an unconcealable shock in Lu You's eyes, and she looked down at Xiaomi.

The little kitten was licking his wound with his head down. Feeling Lu Er's gaze, he raised his head to look at him and let out a soft "mi".

Lu You suddenly understood what Xiaomi meant.

He said before that the two of them have their own secrets, and maintaining mutual respect and space is the best choice;

Obviously, Xiaomi didn't think so, and it showed itself to him.

It wants to exchange secrets with him.
