Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Shen Huaijin originally thought that the dry and hot weather would last for a long time, but he didn't expect that after a few days, the air would become hot and humid, making people sweat profusely even without moving.

"What's going on here? Why is the weather getting weirder?"

Just after another kiln was sealed, the heat made him drenched with sweat, and the high ponytail of his black hair couldn't resist the stickiness of his temples.He sat in the shade, panting and complaining with difficulty.

Ling wore a bamboo hat and ran towards him kicking his calves. Xiaotuanzi spoke a lot more fluently, "Jin, Apa said the sky is dull because the rainy season is coming."

Shen Huaijin counted the days, and it was true. It seemed that the heat that lasted for many days could finally rest.

"Ling, why didn't you come here with Big Ears today?"

Ling pouted, and his tone was a little low, "Grandpa said that Big Ear is going to find their Apa today, so he can't play with me."

Shen Huaijin took his little hand and comforted him in a warm voice: "Don't be sad, Zai Zai, I'll take you to pick peaches to eat."

"Peaches?" Ling had never eaten peaches before, so he looked curiously in the direction Shen Huaijin was pointing at. Then he saw the branches full of peaches on the tree, and found that these fruits had become rosy and plump after a few days of absence. It was as if the clear peel was about to explode in the next moment.

His eyes lit up excitedly, "Peach! It looks delicious."

Shen Huaijin led him to the shade of the tree, took off his bamboo hat, and let the stuffy heat from Xiaotuanzi's head dissipate.

Ling obediently sat on the stone bench, watching Shen Huaijin pick off the pink and attractive peaches from the branches one by one.

Shen Huaijin picked seven or eight before stopping, and made a small basin of ice water with saltpeter, put the peaches in one by one to freeze, and He Ling each held a fat peach and began to chew.

Peaches are big, thin-skinned, crystal clear and round.After peeling off the pink and white peel, the flesh is fresh and tender, full and attractive, crystal clear and translucent like the finest suet jade, exuding an intoxicating luster.

"Wow." Ling took an exaggerated deep breath of the fragrance of peaches, and then let out a small exclamation.

The peach flesh is delicate, smooth and juicy, especially after soaking in ice water.After taking a sip, the refreshing and pleasant feeling spreads from the mouth to the whole body, especially in the hot season.

Ling held the ice peach and ate it with great joy. If Shen Huaijin hadn't restrained him for fear that he would spoil his stomach, his small stomach might be able to hold the second and third big peaches.

Shen Huaijin pinched his little nose and said with a smile: "Don't be unhappy, you take all these peaches back, and remember to share them with Apa and the others."

Hearing this, Ling's expression immediately changed from frustration to joy. "Yeah!" he agreed loudly.

Shen Huaijin wrapped the peaches in a small cloth and put them on his back, and put on the bamboo hat for him, and said: "Ling, remember to tell your Apa that the peaches in the wetland should be ripe, and you can go collectively to collect them a few times." .”

"Yeah!" Ling nodded and waved at Shen Huaijin.He carried the heavy, fat peach on his back, and walked back against the scorching sun.

Sending away this clingy and greedy brat, Shen Huaijin looked around vigilantly, then carefully touched another ice peach and gnawed on it, murmuring to herself vaguely, "I'm not a kid, I can eat it." two."

"Jin!"

Suddenly, a strange boy's voice came from Taniguchi, scaring away the half-gnawed peach in Shen Huaijin's hands, who was already sneaky.

He looked at the pink and white peach covered with mud and cried without tears, and then looked at the culprit in Taniguchi with resentment.

Seeing this, it gave him a big surprise.

Accompanied by Yan, the oncoming market team of the Damori Tribe consisted of about eleven or twelve orcs, including the leaders he knew, Qian, Qiheyuan, and the greeting just now came from Yuan's mouth.

Now he didn't care about what was good or bad, and hurried forward to greet him.

Other members of the tribe also paid attention to their arrival. Seeing that Yan was accompanying them, they knew that it was just a friendly tribe passing by, and they also stepped forward.Everyone picked a shady place in the square to help the members of the Omori tribe unload their burdens.

Yan and Qian were reminiscing about the old days in a friendly manner, when the principle ran up to Shen Huaijin and greeted them happily.

"Jin, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" Shen Huaijin patted him on the shoulder. After not seeing him for a year, the boy in front of him had grown a whole circle, "Yuan, you've grown so tall."

The dark-skinned boy scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, with a simple and honest smile on his face, "Jin, why haven't you grown taller?"

Shen Huaijin: ...What kind of greetings are these.

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Yuan shook his head anxiously, "Jin, I mean you haven't changed, exactly the same as last hot season."

Shen Huaijin laughed dumbfounded, "I understand what you mean."

He looked around the team a few times, but he didn't see another familiar boy.

Sensing his movement, Yuan said carelessly: "Jin, don't look, the wind is not coming."

Shen Huaijin asked with some concern: "How is Feng doing recently?"

"Feng...how should I say it?" Yuan clicked his tongue and organized his sentences, "He has changed a lot, but he is not as stubborn as before. Not long after you left, he begged my father and other adult orcs to take him with him. He trains together. Well...he still doesn't talk much, no matter how I provoke him, he doesn't answer me."

Hearing what he said, Shen Huaijin didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

"By the way, he is as tall as me now!" Yuan shouted again.

Shen Huaijin was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed in her heart. After all, the situation of malnutrition was better than before, and the rest of her life was up to Feng himself.

After reminiscing with Yan over there, he also came to say hello to Shen Huaijin.

Gan, who is in his prime, has not changed in appearance, except that his brows are not as tightly frowned as when they first met.

Shen Huaijin greeted with a smile, "Boss, you look so good. I guess you must have encountered something good recently."

He laughed dryly, the scars on his face looked a bit hideous, but his tone was very brisk, "Jin Wu, you brought my good deeds."

"Oh?" Shen Huaijin was very strange.

"My partner wore the sweater exchanged from you and spent a comfortable winter season, and now his body is getting better. Yuan and I are very happy."

"That's good, that's good." Shen Huaijin said repeatedly, and then asked curiously, "Why don't you see Chengwu coming?"

Hearing this, the smile on Gan's face also faded, "Gan is too old, the weather is so weird, and the roads are so dangerous, he has no chance to travel. Alas, if the environment is not bad, we wouldn't be here so early. Let's go."

This time, he returned to the heavy topic, and Shen Huaijin quickly said: "Don't worry about being the leader. Anyone who goes out in this weather will suffer, and it is a good thing if Chengwu doesn't come. We haven't seen each other for so long. We must have a good reunion tonight. Why? Sample?"

Qian Lang laughed, "Okay! Jin Wu, I'll listen to you!"

Li Zai, who was in charge of today's hunting, sensed the familiar aura of alien orcs in the field, and was connected with Shen Huaijin, so he hunted more prey than usual with great foresight.

It is rare for the tribe to see outsiders. Even if the weather is dull, all members are in high spirits.

The life of the Dahe Tribe has been turned upside down in just a few years. They themselves have not noticed the astonishment of this change. In the eyes of outsiders, it is truly incredible.

At the dinner party, there are all kinds of pottery tableware, fried, steamed and stewed dishes of all kinds, and there are floor lamps around that exude warm yellow candlelight. Everyone sits around to eat, drink and have fun.

When he was enjoying himself, Gan couldn't help revealing his heart, "Jin, when I passed by the Dahe Tribe last time, there was no you here, and there was no such a comfortable life here."

He glanced at the singing and dancing crowd, enviously said: "When I saw you before, I was very curious about the animal skins you wore, but I didn't expect that the entire Dahe Tribe is now wearing such good animal skin clothes. "

Hearing what he said, the members of the Great River Tribe sitting around looked left and right, only to realize that everyone had already put on breathable and comfortable linen clothes, and it was no longer the rash that was caused by uncleaned animal skins in the hot season. It's time to look embarrassed.

Shen Huaijin said softly, "Boss, this isn't animal skin, it's linen. This time at the market, our Dahe Tribe also intends to exchange linen for things. If you are interested, you can exchange some back."

"That's great, that's great." Gan murmured, leaning back, looking at the stars in the sky and sighing: "Jin Wu, if Xiu Wu knew that you developed the Dahe Tribe into what it is today, he would be very happy. happy."

Hearing this soon-to-be-familiar name, the members of the Dahe tribe fell silent for a moment, and Shen Huaijin also had a sore nose. He turned his head to the side and blinked, trying to get rid of the moisture in it.

Gan also realized that he had made everyone sad, and quickly changed the subject to make up for it: "Jin Wu, when we came just now, we saw three long-horned beasts carrying things for you, which surprised us. Are you How did you do it?"

Shen Huaijin reluctantly smiled, "This is also an accident. They are separated from their own group, and they cannot protect the little beasts around them in this environment. They can only ask us for help."

"I didn't expect that the longhorn beasts would also help the tribe one day." Gan was very surprised, "They still have small beasts?"

"En." Shen Huaijin nodded, pointing to the dark place upstream of the stream. The big ears were scared by the visit of the strange orcs, and they were temporarily placed in the hiding place after being fed by the sub-beasts in the tribe.

"Thanks to the help of the longhorn beast, our city wall can be built at such a fast speed."

As for those two tall and thick walls, Qian had already seen them, and he nodded in agreement.

"By the way, how is the situation of the Omori tribe?"

Qian let out a long breath, and the tone could not tell whether it was sadness or joy, "Jin Wu, we have built a natural barrier with giant trees according to your suggestion, but we don't know if it will be useful in the face of the beast tide."

Shen Huaijin said solemnly: "Boss, the beast horde is coming fiercely. In my opinion, you should build more barriers just in case."

"You're right. When I go back to the market this time, I'll ask them to quickly surround me with two more."

Seeing that he really took it to heart, Shen Huaijin also smiled and clinked a glass with him with scented tea, "May the beast god bless you."

"May the beast god bless you."

Members of the Dahe Tribe and the Dasen Tribe sang and danced together, cheering and shouting until midnight, before they were urged to rest by the leaders of the two parties.

Although the Dahe tribe does not have many tree houses for receiving guests like the Damori tribe, the tribe has also formed several couples in the past two years, and there are a few thatched huts available for them to live in.

Old friends reunited, and Shen Huaijin fell asleep with joy.
