Beginning Backpack [Farming]

At dawn the next day, the excited Ann went to the pharmacy to look for Shen Huaijin with a big bone stick.

The two went to Li's house to visit the tree first, but they didn't expect the tree to wake up.

When Han saw Shen Huaijin enter the room, he immediately knelt down gratefully towards him.

Shen Huaijin was so startled that she spoke her mother tongue.

"Please don't!"

He dodged sideways, and quickly pulled Han up again.

Han choked a few times, but didn't resist, and kept saying words of gratitude, until he was called by the tree before returning to his side, letting the other person's upper body lean against his arms.

Shu's face was sallow, and his lips were pale, but at least he wasn't as lifeless as he was lying on the bed two days ago. It seemed that his life was out of danger. No wonder Han was so grateful to Shen Huaijin.

The weak orc was still unable to move at this time, half leaning on Han's arms, and thanked Shen Huaijin in a low voice: "My kind witch, I heard Han said that it was you who retrieved my soul from the summoning of the beast god. Thank you Your kindness, my life is hereby entrusted to you to be driven by you, this is the orc's promise."

Shen Huaijin looked at the couple with complex expressions. His purpose of saving the tree was not pure, and his efforts were limited, but he did not expect that the two of them really regarded themselves as powerful witches. Treat him so that he can only bite the bullet and agree.

"Tree, you and I are both part of the tribe, and it is right to help each other. I am also very happy for you to be able to find you under the call of the beast god. But you don't have to put me on top, no matter what my identity is , I am your friend."

The atmosphere in the room made him a little at a loss, but thanks to An's excuse, Shen Huaijin gave them a few words and left.

After leaving the room, An grabbed him with a mysterious expression on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Jin, is what you said to An just now a sacrificial language? I didn't understand anything."

Shen Huaijin showed a smile, and said nonsense without changing his face: "That's right, it is a long-standing, profound language, in which thousands of years of culture and life are bred, and only specific souls can learn it."

He is probably the only one in the Beastman Continent.

An was fascinated by what he heard, and nodded seriously, saying: "Jin, I really saw you right!"

Shen Huaijin patted An's arm amusedly, and said to herself that the intelligent creatures in the Orc Continent really like this kind of statement, which is quite easy to deceive.

"Let's go, aren't we going to make bone knives?"

Only then did An realize that she stopped asking Shen Huaijin, and the two came to the square together.

At this time, the tribe has not fully awakened, and there are few other people in the square. Occasionally, there are birds passing by, and there are a few crisp birdsong, which makes it more and more quiet.

What Ann brought was the gray horned beast's femur bone, which was the right size and easier to handle.

Shen Huaijin first cracked the bone in half with a stone, drew the outline of a bone knife with a handle on the surface of the bone with burnt charcoal, and saw off the excess bone with a folding saw.

An saw the tool that Shen Huaijin called a "folding saw" again. It was originally a long black strip, but it looked even weirder after it was randomly broken twice. .Ann thought it could only be used to saw branches, and didn't care about it. She didn't expect that it could cut bones.

An didn't dare to disturb her, fearing that Shen Huaijin would accidentally cut the shiny strip onto her hand.

After Shen Huaijin sawed out the shape of the bone knife, he found a piece of gray sandstone and began to grind it.

This was also physical work, Shen Huaijin and An took turns grinding their bones, their hands were red and their arms were sore from the torture, seeing Lin and Li getting up, they hurriedly called them to help.With the addition of two orcs, the two of them relaxed.

Shen Huaijin was not idle either.

He has not found natural glue so far, and it is inconvenient to add a wooden handle to the knife, so he plans to directly tie a rope to the bone handle instead.

He found out the bark he had collected two days ago.Although the species is unfamiliar, the bark of this tree is very tough. Shen Huaijin peeled off the inner bark and tore it into strips, dried the last bit of water with fire, then folded the bark in half, twisted the two strands clockwise, Then twist them counterclockwise to prevent the bark rope from falling apart to the greatest extent.

Rin led the team out to hunt halfway, while Li Ze kept sharpening until the afternoon, and finally sharpened a decent bone knife.

He shook his sore arm, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it good for you to grind for so long?"

Shen Huaijin was wrapping the handle of the bone with a bark rope. When the bone handle was sawed, a few depressions were specially left, so that the rope would not fall off easily after being wrapped. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Bring a bone yourself, and I'll make another for you." Bundle."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the bark rope on the handle to make sure it was tightly tied, turned his hand over, pointed the tip of the knife to himself, and handed the newly made bone knife to Ann.

An was taken aback, then repeatedly waved her hands and said that she couldn't take it.

Shen Huaijin smiled and comforted: "Take it. You have been taking care of me during this time. This is a gift from me. Don't be burdened."

After a few words of persuasion, An accepted it, and used a bone knife to cut a piece of animal skin on the square, which was indeed more convenient and neat than a stone knife.

An was overjoyed, blushed and thanked Shen Huaijin again.

Li stood aside, with a strange tone: "I have worked so hard to sharpen the knife all day, can I ask you to help me?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head, "Don't forget it."

The silver-haired orc looked a little impatient, but he still picked up the remaining half of the animal bone.

"Of course, but you have to grind with me tomorrow and tie the rope for me."

"Okay." Shen Huaijin agreed quickly.In fact, even if the other party is unwilling, he will give it to Li personally, thanking him for lending his house for so long.

At dinner time, as soon as Ann's new bone knife was taken out, it was sought after by sub-beasts and orcs, especially the former.Sub-beasts do not have animal shapes, and they are often responsible for cooking. It is much more convenient to have a sharp knife.

When everyone knew that it was made by Shen Huaijin, they were a little moved, but bone knives are no better than food, and everyone was too embarrassed to take his things for nothing, and they would love each other one by one.

Shen Huaijin saw their entanglement, and took the initiative to say: "It is not impossible for you to want a bone knife, but it is very troublesome to make a bone knife. Without my tools, even with the strength of an orc, it would take several days to sharpen it. There is no time to go out and collect."

He paused, and then said: "If you can help me find plants with strange flavors like lemon and ginger that the tribe doesn't usually eat, but I can use to eat with food, or some fruits that you didn't dare to try before. , tubers, etc., as long as it works after testing, I can make a bone knife for the sub-beast or orc I found."

Everyone was very happy to hear that there was still a way to get a bone knife, and they all expressed that they would look for it carefully.

Shen Huaijin poured cold water on everyone in advance, "I don't want all the strange-tasting or uneaten plants. Only the ones I can use can be used to exchange bone knives."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Shen Huaijin was also very satisfied.The Mangbeast Grassland has a vast area, and he can't go far when collecting normally. One person's power is limited after all. It's better to mobilize this group of aborigines to find seasonings and crops together. If they really find something useful, he will spend a day or two grinding it. Knives are worth it too.

Seeing that everyone was chasing after Shen Huaijin again, Yang felt annoyed, thinking that he just sharpened a knife with a bone, who wouldn't know that.

As a result, without a saw, he could only knock out the rough shape with a stone. He grinded it for several days, but what he got was still a strange-shaped knife, which was not as beautiful as An's. He was so angry that he didn't eat all day.Of course, this is another story.

Two days later, Shen Huaijin checked the tree's wound and found that it was recovering well.

Considering that the cotton thread cannot be absorbed, he removed the thread for the tree after disinfection.There was some blood when the cotton thread was pulled out, but compared to the injuries of the previous two days, it was insignificant, Han and Shu didn't care.

Shen Huaijin gave a few instructions as usual and left.

He originally wanted to see what the sub-beasts who went out to collect today brought him back, but he didn't expect that Miao would take him to see the big witch Xiu as soon as he left the house.

Shen Huaijin's orc language is already relatively fluent, and she can continue to learn through communicating with tribe members, so she seldom takes the initiative to seek repairs.

Miao came to him, probably because Da Wu felt that it was time to be honest.Thinking of this, Shen Huaijin followed quickly, and followed Miao into Xiu's room.

"Jin, come and sit down." Xiu held the wooden stick in his right hand and greeted Shen Huaijin from the room with a tired look on his face.

"Xiu, your complexion looks very bad." Shen Huaijin sat down beside him and looked at the old man worriedly.

Xiu shook his head, held Shen Huaijin's hand with his left hand, and said with a smile, "Jin, I think you should realize why I called you here today."

Shen Huaijin looked at him without speaking, but there was genuine concern in his eyes.

Xiu lightly touched the tip of Shen Huaijin's hair with his hand, as if drawing strength from it, he said:

"Jin, I am very grateful to the Beast God for sending you to the Dahe Tribe."

"The Dahe tribe encountered a disaster a hundred years ago. They fled all the way west from the windy plain at the easternmost point of the continent. They passed through the wild beast jungle and suffered many casualties. Only then did they come to settle in Linshanyuan, the westernmost point of the eastern continent."

"The Dahe Tribe was originally the most powerful tribe in the Wild Wind Plain, but suffered disasters one after another, and now it is only a medium-sized tribe in the Linshan Plain."

"You have also discovered it." Xiu smiled bitterly, "My sacrificial power is not strong. I was only trained as a witch assistant in the past and knew some simple herbs. Who knew that I was the only witch who survived. I had no choice but to become the great witch of the tribe."

"But I can neither communicate with the beast gods, nor have I ever learned how to prepare holy water to cultivate holy beast trees. For so many years, I have been living in fear and self-blame, fearing that the Great River Tribe will be completely defeated by me."

"Fortunately, you are here."

Shen Huaijin remained silent, the situation was actually quite similar to what he had guessed, the migration of the Dahe Tribe, the current reproduction problem, and the communication with the beast gods and other miraculous things.

However, Shen Huaijin was surprised: "Xiu, why do you believe so much that I can bring the tribe a turn for the better."

After all, Shen Huaijin was carried back to the tribe after being knocked unconscious by Li. Apart from her clothes, she didn't show anything special at all.

"Jin, you are a black-haired Asian beast."

Only then did Shen Huaijin realize what was said.

The sub-beasts he has seen all have dark brown hair, but the orcs also have black hair due to their different animal shapes.Because Shen Huaijin didn't deliberately distinguish between orcs and sub-beasts, she had ignored this issue before.

"Black-haired sub-beast, is there anything special about it?"

Xiu then described to him the history thousands of years ago and the legend of the black-haired sub-beast, and told him that the great witch usually has witches with strong sacrificial abilities as his successors, and witch assistants with ordinary sacrificial power or smart minds as his usual assistants. Followers, both are equally respected in the tribe.But there are no witches around Xiu, only Miao and Han accompany him as witch assistants.

Shen Huaijin: ...

He suspected that the other party was also a fellow traveler, but he didn't know whether it was a contemporary person or an ancient person thousands of years ago.

Shen Huaijin said: "Xiu, tell me this, what do you want me to do?"

Xiu was silent for a moment, staring into Shen Huaijin's eyes and said:

"I hope you can become my wizard and continue to lead the Great River Tribe after I return to the embrace of the Beast God."

Hearing this, Shen Huaijin shook her head and said, "Xiu, I am very grateful to the Dahe Tribe for giving me a shelter, but I have never been in contact with priests, and I don't intend to be bound by this identity."

Xiu's lips trembled a few times, "Jin, I beg you, not just because of the legend about the black-haired sub-beast, but because I have truly seen the changes in the tribe because of your arrival."

"Don't worry about being restrained. I have already discussed with the leader, and we will give you the maximum freedom. You have the blessing of the beast god on your body. As long as you can stay in the Dahe tribe, the beast god will definitely take care of the Dahe tribe."

Shen Huaijin fell into deep thought. He didn't believe in the saying that there are beast gods and not beast gods, but he has the knowledge of modern people and the information in the USB flash drive, so it is still possible for the tribe to live a better life.

The environment outside the valley was harsh and sparsely populated. Shen Huaijin originally planned to regard the tribe as his first stop to settle down. If he could have a high status, the advantages would definitely outweigh the disadvantages.Besides, the people in the tribe were kind and friendly to him, and he didn't object to staying longer.

After all, his life is long now, he has enough time to cultivate the next witch, and then travel to the land of orcs.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaijin heaved a sigh of relief, "Xiu, thank you for your trust. If the tribe allows me to do what I want freely, I can promise you to stay as a witch, and I promise to do my best to share with everyone. Together, let the members of the tribe live well."

He paused, and then said: "I don't know what holy water is, but I probably know where the problem with the sacred beast tree is. You can try to save it, but the effect cannot be guaranteed."

He saw that the leaves of the tree were yellow, and the fruit was sparse, which seemed to be a symptom of potassium and phosphorus deficiency. Maybe the holy water was the fertilizer of the primitive world.There is a method of making fertilizer in his USB flash drive, so he can give it a try.

Xiu clenched the animal teeth on his chest and muttered to himself.

"Thank you for the gift of the beast god, thank you, Jin."
