Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

When they first migrated, the Redwood Tribe wasn't sure if God's punishment would completely swallow up where they were.

But judging from the speed at which God's Punishment spread, even if God's Punishment didn't completely devour them, as the pioneer of God's Punishment, the accompanying drought would make that area unviable.

This time, Lu Er asked them to go to the old site of the tribe to find copper mines, and he was not very sure whether the tribe could survive.It's just that the detection of known locations is more reliable than the aimless search.

It's not too surprising that the Redwood tribe wasn't devoured by God's punishment, but the orc's description is a bit weird.

"Along with our previous fields?" Lu Er repeated in doubt, frowning and lost in thought.

Let the orc roughly draw an outline on the ground.Although the orc's drawing is crooked, it can still be seen that the traces of God's punishment are almost clinging to their farmland.

Lu You looked at it for a long time, and finally a guess flashed in his mind: Could it be that their farmland has the effect of preventing God's punishment?

The copper mine that Lee discovered was located behind the protection of the farmland, so it was not affected by God's punishment at all.Lu Er asked the orc who reported the message to take two more orcs and a trailer to bring the copper mine back.

Then Lu You looked at Jiao, and subconsciously touched the spirit water ring she was wearing in the woolen finger sleeve: "Jiao, what do you think?"

Whether it was the hot peppers discovered by the envoys or the redwood tribe's farmland that blocked the divine punishment, it proved that they seemed to have inadvertently mastered something that could counter the divine punishment.

At first Lu Er thought it was spiritual water, but the pepper seeds watered with spiritual water did not germinate immediately on the land of divine punishment.

Jiao had witnessed Lu Er's reclamation experience from the very beginning, and he also set his sights on Lu Er's ring, frowned and thought for a moment: "It must have something to do with Lingshui."

"But it shouldn't just be related to Lingshui." Lu You put her eyes on Jiao, stared at him for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed through her, "Xiao Mi, do you want to poop?"

Jiao suddenly heard this shameful title, and his face was a little annoyed: "Why do you mention this?"

He is obviously not Xiao Mi anymore!

But immediately he realized it and frowned, "You mean it has something to do with me?"

"The heart of life and God's punishment must be closely related, and it is not surprising that the solution lies in the heart of life." Lu Er rubbed his stomach, thoughtfully, "I guess maybe it is the spirit water and the spirit of life." Only when the heart is united can it prevent God's punishment."

Back then, Xiao Mila's cakes were buried in the ground by Lu Er as fertilizer.

"Wouldn't it be that if we plant a circle of grain on the edge of God's Punishment, we don't have to worry about God's Punishment spreading?"

"Or maybe...you can plant trees directly on the land of God's Punishment, and take back the devoured land little by little."

The two of them talked and glanced, and quickly pieced together a rather bright prospect.

Finally, Lu Er looked in the direction of the former site of the tribe, and sighed: "I really want to go there and see for myself."

At present, these are just speculations, and some experiments need to be done to verify whether their conjectures are correct.

As soon as these words came out, Jiao suddenly became nervous: "You can't go out now."

"I know, I'm just saying it." Lu Wei patted Jiao's arm helplessly, "Let's wait until the baby is born. Now we are too busy with spring plowing, so we don't have the energy to farm over there... we'll see after summer .”

"Entering summer?" Jiao chewed the word suspiciously, and guessed, "Is it your time name?"

"Well, the seasons related to agriculture are not only divided into cold season and warm season, but can be roughly divided into four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and in detail, we can divide them into 24 solar terms." Lu Er looked at Jiao's earnest look, and drew on the ground He drew a line and told him about the division of farming solar terms.

……

In addition to spring plowing and sowing, the salt used in the tribe is basically the same.

However, they already have a complete salt-making method this time, so they don't need to exchange it with other tribes.Before the cold season last year, Teng, who is very important to salt, had sent people to find saline-alkali land, salt mines, and salt lakes suitable for salt production, so that they could produce salt at any time.

After the cold season was over, Teng asked some orcs to make salt in the place he had scouted before.

Since they only had to prepare the salt they needed, the salt mining team soon returned with a trailer full of salt.

They returned with an unexpected guest.

The Tusk tribe sent orcs over again.

The orcs this time seemed to be much more loyal than the last time. After seeing Teng, they quickly expressed their intentions: "Teng, we want to learn about planting from you."

Teng was a little surprised: "Didn't you switch to corn and soybeans last year?"

"Not those, we want other seeds." The orc scratched his head and smiled honestly, "We found a new plant, which I think is edible, but it doesn't grow well, so I want to learn from you again. one time."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of light yellow seeds from the animal skin pocket on his waist, and handed them to Teng, "That's it."

Teng took it over and looked at it, but he didn't see anything. He thought for a while: "Our witch doctor does most of the planting in the tribe. You should ask him for advice."

The orc's eyes lit up: "I've heard of the witch doctor of the Redwood Tribe! Is it Green Ear?"

As the Jufang tribe learned farming from the Redwood tribe and successfully harvested food, Lu Er's reputation spread among nearby tribes.

Everyone said that there was a witch doctor in the Redwood tribe, who knew everything, and researched strange methods. He could grow a lot of food from the ground, which was more profitable than hunting.

Look at how many people the other tribes were forced to abandon and lose because of God's punishment. However, the Redwood Tribe and the Giant Tooth Tribe arrived at their new home intact, and the Redwood Tribe even absorbed a lot of bulk orcs along the way!

How did they do that?

Compared with other tribes, the Giant Tooth Tribe feels the joy of farming. Not only has the scale of farming been expanded this year, but they have also learned to find new plants, planning to study and plant them by themselves like the Redwood Tribe.

Without Lu Er's modern breeding concept and the assistance of Lingshui, the cultivation of new crops failed.That's why the Giant Tooth Tribe decided to come to ask Lu Er for advice.

Lu You is just bored these days. He took a look at the orc seeds of the Giant Fang Tribe. The more he looked at them, the more he was surprised. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, let the man go out first, and asked him to stay in the Redwood Tribe for a few more days. Do more research.

When only Lu Er and Jiao were left, Lu Er found a flower pot and planted the seeds in it, then poured the spiritual water lightly.

The tender green seedlings burst out of the ground, and soon branched out and grew taller, bearing scattered tassels.

Looking at Lu You's excited look, Jiao Jiao felt a little strange. He came over to look at the plants in the flowerpot, and poked lightly with his hand: "It looks a bit like millet. What is it?"

Lu You looked at the tassels with uncontrollable joy, and forced himself to calm down and explain: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be wheat."

--wheat!

Wheat means flour, and flour means colorful and varied pasta.

In other words, he can change his taste!

It is difficult for Jiao to understand Lu Er's longing for pasta, but he can see the importance of this plant called wheat.Seeing Lu You so excited, Jiao also felt a lot happier.

But after a while, he put away his smile and said seriously, "You can't work in the fields now."

Lu You was picking off a section of tassels to check the condition of the ears of wheat, when he heard this, he was taken aback: "Huh?"

"You have such a big belly now." Jiao helped Lu You's waist, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes, "I really can't work."

Lu Wei looked at her already big belly, and thought that she couldn't even squat down now, and frowned, a little unwillingly: "But wheat is really important... Breed it as soon as possible, and we can still catch up with this Stubble sowing."

Jiao thought for a while, then recommended himself: "I'll do it."

Lu You looked at him in surprise, and suddenly wanted to laugh: "Can you?"

"You can teach me." Jiao leaned over and hugged Lu Yi, and kissed Lu Yi lightly on the long ear, "I will study hard."

Lu You thought for a while, then really laughed, turned around and kissed back lightly: "Okay, then let you try."

……

For Jiao who only watched how Lu Er operated with the naked eye, the breeding process was full of mysteries.

Simple selection and breeding is easy to understand. Operations such as artificial pollination, thinning and pruning of flowers make Jiao's simple thinking difficult to understand, and his techniques are not as refined as Lu Yi's.

But Jiao still did it very seriously - this is something his sub-beast has studied and studied, and he must not embarrass Lu Wei.

Fortunately, with Lu Er's patient guidance, Lingshui made the cost of failure extremely low, and Jiao stepped on the pit while advancing, and actually improved the wheat a lot.

The first ears of wheat on a single plant had only a dozen or so grains.Through the joint efforts of Lu Er and Jiao, the improved wheat has become plump and firm, and can produce a lot of heavy ears that can be milled hard.

It was the first time that he bred his own improved ears of wheat, Jiao Jiao was so happy, if it wasn't for Lu Yi's physical inconvenience, he almost wanted to hug Lu Yi for a walk.

Lu You was quite satisfied with the result, so he found Teng and asked Teng to arrange some orcs to plant more wheat.

At this time, most of the orcs' fields had been sown, and the originally planned farmland had already been planted with other crops, and the only way to grow wheat was to reclaim land.

At this time, Lu You deeply felt the biggest problem brought about by the small population of the Redwood Tribe—it was easy to be overwhelmed at the initial stage of exploration.

Jiao saw Lu You's melancholy, thought for a while, and put forward his own suggestion: "We can absorb the wandering wild orcs."

If you count on the tribe to multiply by itself, you don't know how long it will take for the tribe to expand.In fact, Lu You is also thinking about absorbing some wild orcs, but he doesn't know what channels there are.

"The cold season is over, many tribes can't survive, and there are only a few strong orcs left to survive." Jiao has a wandering experience for a period of time, and has more experience in this area than other orcs. "These orcs should be out now. Wandering, looking for tribes to join, or hugging for warmth."

Seeing Jiao's confident expression, Lu You knew that he had a solution: "How much can you find?"

"It is estimated that a dozen strong orcs can be found, and there should be some orcs who will bring their weak partners."

"Ten or so are enough." Lu You nodded, holding Jiao's hand, her eyes full of trust, "I'll leave it to you."

Jiao couldn't resist Lu Wei's implicitly dependent gaze, only felt that the sun could pick off the sub-beast for him now, and patted his chest: "Leave it to me!"
