Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Chapter 149 City Gate

The weather was getting hotter, but with the encouragement of the initial completion of the city wall, everyone's enthusiasm was even higher, and the urn city was piled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Wengcheng is just a small semi-circular guarded city outside the city gate. The materials needed are not too much, and there were a lot of surplus before, so the sub-beasts of the tribe were temporarily idle.

Just as the hot season is approaching, Linshanyuan has also begun its long harvest period, and various fruits are ripening one after another.The sub-beasts love to travel together to gather in the early morning when the sun is still soft, and unceremoniously put the freshest fruits from the branches into their bags.

When she got up early in the morning, An made a special trip to find Shen Huaijin, saying that she wanted to go pick ramie together.

After he reminded, Shen Huaijin realized that they were so busy this water season that they didn't have time to pick ramie and spin it. Fortunately, ramie was ripe for more than a year, so they missed the previous batch and this batch.

Originally, he had no plans to go out of the valley for the time being, but thinking about it this way, he became more interested.

"How about it, do you want to go?" An asked again enthusiastically.

Shen Huaijin only hesitated for a second, "Let's go!"

It hit it off.Everyone took tools and rattan baskets one after another, and set off in a hurry.The feeling of walking under the city wall is unique. Shen Huaijin didn't shuttle back and forth in a novel way like the others. He touched the stone walls on both sides and considered the construction of the city gate.

It was An's call that brought him back to his senses, Shen Huaijin smiled slightly, "Come right away."

The sun dispelled the mist in the morning, and the temperature suddenly rose. A group of people first walked along the main road, then continued to walk north along the path, and walked to the wetland where the ramie was located.

Along the way, you can clearly see that many of the frequently-traveled trails have been repaired, and it is much more convenient to walk than before.Shen Huaijin asked as he walked, "Ann, have you sorted out these roads?"

An Can smiled, not caring about the sweat on his forehead, "That's right, we basically take these two trails to go to the wetlands. We thought it would be tiring to repair the roads once, but it will be easier every time in the future. "

Shen Huaijin nodded in agreement, "That's the way it is, otherwise the tribe wouldn't need to go to great lengths to build three roads."

"And we're actually not too tired. We've walked this road so many times, so it's already a bit solid, and the orcs from the base can occasionally come to help." Ann scratched herself and blushed. His face was a little shy, apparently reminding him of Rin who had been stationed at the base for a long time.

Shen Huaijin understood, but only showed a teasing expression, and didn't say anything more.For him, it is a good thing that everyone can actively learn from old experience and solve new problems, which is far better than the situation where he gives instructions throughout the process.

Walking along the path, a group of people walked out of the woods, and the first thing they saw was the blue lake in the wetland, which was calm and waveless, like a mirror. They saw big and dark green round lotus leaves standing gracefully on the water. On it, the budding red and white lotus hides gracefully in it, waiting for the next second to bloom.

The sub-beasts are used to this, but Shen Huaijin thought of the sweetness of lotus seeds and the crispness of lotus root, looked around curiously, and ran to the lake in small steps, estimating the distance and testing the depth of the water.

"It's not very deep, you should be able to do it if you want to." He muttered to himself.

An leaned over to look at him, "Jin, do you want to pick flowers?"

"Why do I pick flowers." Shen Huaijin shook his head funny, "I want to pick lotus seeds, that is, eat its seeds."

"Lotus seeds? What is it? Is it delicious? Jin, if you go into the water, you will get dirty, and the water is not like a stream where you can see the bottom. I don't know what's in it." Those leaves float on the water, so you can try to pick the lotus seeds you mentioned."

"Floating..." Shen Huaijin was a little stunned, but then his eyes lit up, and he pulled Ya Beast's arm and said excitedly: "An, you are right, we can just float there!"

This time Chang An was stunned, "Jin, are you stupid, how could we float on the water."

"Relying on external objects can make us float." Shen Huaijin said concisely.

Although he had never experienced picking lotus in person, after An's reminder, he recalled some vague memories.In his impression, many old-fashioned artificial lotus picking is done by workers sitting in a large wooden barrel, paddling water and picking lotus by hand.

He didn't have the skill of hooping barrels, but because the tribe's labor force was strong, it would not be a problem to pick a big tree from the side and dig a canoe out of the trunk.

Shen Huaijin told An the words one by one, but the latter obviously still didn't understand what he meant, and scratched his hair a little helplessly, "Why can we float by digging a hole in the wood?"

An's questioning method was too weird, and Shen Huaijin choked for a moment, "...Well, why don't we make a small one for you to see after we go back."

"Jin, do you think I'm stupid?" An looked at him and asked with a half-smile, as if he wanted him to look good if he dared to promise.

Shen Huaijin shrugged her shoulders and said nothing in a very sensible manner.

The other subbeasts also began to urge, "An, Jin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick the ramie, so we can go back to the valley!"

"Come on!" Shen Huaijin responded, pulled An on and ran towards everyone.

The breeze blowing across the face created ripples and created a lotus wave. There were flying birds flying past beside them as they ran.

The ramie field covers a very large area, and it should be the second batch this year, and it looks extraordinarily slim and densely green.

Everyone is not a novice, everyone has rich experience, Shen Huaijin doesn't need to say anything, they have already spread out with tools, and began to cut hemp for skin along the edge of the ramie field.

Not to be outdone, Shen Huaijin dived in, let go of her hands and feet and started to work.

A branch of ramie needs to be cut off from the head and tail, and what is needed in the end is only the ramie skin, which is not much.Everyone has been busy for a long time, and each person can harvest two baskets.

With the sun hanging high, Shen Huaijin wiped off the sweat from his forehead, looked at everyone's stock, and suggested loudly: "Today, we have collected almost all of them, and we won't be able to move them back no matter how much we have, and we will talk about the rest until next time. "

Only then did the sub-beasts who worked hard realize that their rattan baskets had been filled to the brim and there was no room for more.At this moment, the sub-beasts who had been holding their breath felt tired all over, and responded one after another: "Then go back, these ramie skins are already busy for a while."

Everyone carried rattan baskets on their backs, and even Shen Huaijin uncharacteristically picked up two of them, one behind the other. They walked slowly along the path back to the valley, picking some berries and other things to quench their thirst on the way. Put it on the ramie skin and keep it to bring back to the tribe.

As soon as he entered the valley, the sharp-eyed tribe members stepped forward to help unload things. Shen Huaijin finally got rid of the burden and shook his shoulders comfortably.

Unfamiliar things also attracted the attention of the newborns. Under the leadership of Ling and Ji, five little boys ran over staggeringly. spun around, his face full of curiosity.

The cubs are always used to learning new things by touching and tasting them. Normally, what the sub-beasts bring back to the valley is basically food. One of them boldly picked up a piece of ramie skin and stuffed it into his mouth, and started to chew.

In the end, after chewing a few times, the little boy twisted his face and spit out the contents of his mouth. Unfortunately, the bitterness in his mouth was hard to get rid of, so he had to howl.

Seeing his embarrassment, all the adults present laughed happily, without any intention of comforting him, leaving only a few other cubs to circle around the howling cub anxiously.

Shen Huaijin folded her arms and looked at the playful scene in front of her, turned her head and said to An in a low voice, "I didn't pay attention at a glance, and the cubs have grown so big."

"Of course." Ann said without hesitation: "You can drink so much fresh animal milk every day, it's strange that the cubs don't grow up faster." He paused, "Speaking of which, the hairy beast is really good. Not to mention the deliciousness, animal fur and animal milk are so useful, I want to keep them."

"Greedy?" Shen Huaijin glanced at him with a half-smile.

Ann nodded sheepishly.He also likes to drink animal milk, but since the water season begins, Shen Huaijin's animal milk is in line with the needs of the cubs, and he is too embarrassed to ask for it. He has been greedy for a long time, and he also deeply realizes that everything It's better to own it yourself.

"It's a good thing to raise animals and herd together." Shen Huaijin first praised An's idea, and then said: "It's just that the water season is over, and the cold season is easy to freeze the new hairy animals, so it's time for the tribe to raise hairy animals together. It will be the next water season at the earliest, and you have to continue to be greedy for these two days."

An didn't notice Shen Huaijin's joke, and the "next water season" in the other party's words surprised him.

Isn't this cold season the time when the beast horde is expected to erupt?

Although the city wall looks very solid, but as the time node approaches, this layer of worry gradually envelops his heart. More precisely, it is the heart of all the silent people. It's just that everyone is used to today's life and works hard. It just didn't show up.

Shen Huaijin saw through the anxiety in An's heart, but just patted his shoulder silently without making a sound.

The wind blows the heat of the hot season, and time flies by.

The construction of Wengcheng was proceeding in an orderly manner, but Shen Huaijin proposed to build the city gate, which puzzled everyone.

Shen Huaijin explained calmly and earnestly: "Everyone is already familiar with building the city wall. It is only a matter of time to build the urn city, but the city gate is different. In order not to make mistakes in this, we'd better try it in advance. What's the matter? If it is wrong, it can be corrected in time.”

After listening to his explanation, everyone understood, tried his multiple designs one by one, and experimented with a reduced mold.

In the end, a group of people headed by Shen Huaijin settled on a design plan with giant hardwood as the frame, cement pouring, iron nails for stability, and iron sheets as the seal. A single city gate alone weighs astonishingly, and it takes a dozen orcs to transform into animal shapes to achieve the goal. drag.

With everyone's efforts, the city gate gradually closed, and the Dahe Tribe, which was protected behind by the towering city wall, finally felt at ease.
