Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Shen Huaijin did not expect that the next day, the tree sent him two live wild birds.

It turns out that the body of the tree has fully recovered, and it has participated in hunting today.

Both he and Han wanted to thank Shen Huaijin, but they had nothing to offer. Han knew that Shen Huaijin kept wild birds and liked to eat wild bird eggs, so he proposed to give Shen Huaijin two tree hunters.

Shen Huaijin: ...

Although Shen Huaijin rejected Li last night, he had all the live wild birds in his hands. Thinking of the taste of wild bird eggs, he was really reluctant to kill them directly, so he cut off the wing feathers and locked them up with the previous four.

The two newcomers screamed very loudly, and Shen Huaijin plucked his ears, feeling a little helpless.It doesn't matter if the wild bird disturbs him, but it's not good if it disturbs the neighbors.

Speaking of which, he has been living in the tribe's medicine house and the workshop of the great witch. Recently, he has more and more things, and it is indeed inconvenient to live any longer.After all, he is now a witch of the tribe, so he should build a house on a plot of land.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaijin immediately went to Yan to discuss.

"Yan, I want to draw a piece of land in the valley, and ask a few orcs to help build a house. I will exchange pottery or bone knives, is that okay?"

Yan nodded when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "Of course you can build a house if you want. I will ask Li Helin to help, and there is no need to exchange things. Witches don't have to do these jobs in the first place, just accept the offerings from the tribe."

Shen Huaijin didn't get entangled in this matter. Anyway, it's his own business whether to give or not. He continued: "I plan to build the house on the other side of the stream, next to my pottery kiln. This way it is convenient for me to burn the kiln and raise it. The wild birds will not disturb the members of the tribe who need to rest."

Of course, he mainly hopes to have more space to play, and it will be much more convenient to be on the other side of the stream.

Yan frowned and said, "You don't have to worry about the wild birds. The tribe eats the eggs laid by the wild birds you raise, so you can't dislike the wild birds that make noise. The stream is so wide that you can't cross it. You can't go back and forth except swimming. You can only take a long way around, and if you build a house on the opposite bank, it will be very troublesome later.”

Shen Huaijin had already considered this issue.

"We can build a bridge, so that not only me, but everyone in the tribe can easily go back and forth between the two sides of the stream."

"Bridge, what is that?"

Shen Huaijin explained: "We simply deal with the trees and put them on the stream so that everyone can pass on it. This is a simple bridge."

Yan thought about it, and was a little moved, "That's really good. I'll let the sub-beasts and orcs in the tribe build the bridge with you tomorrow. If it can be built, it doesn't matter if you go to the other side of the stream to build a house."

Everyone naturally obeyed the leader's words, and the tribe was in full swing.

The orcs were responsible for cutting down and transporting the trees, while the sub-beasts followed Shen Huaijin in trimming the shape of the wood and weaving bark ropes.

Because the wooden bridge is only used for people to walk on, Shen Huaijin only planned to make a simple one.The body of the bridge is made of eucalyptus trunks tied side by side with bark ropes—Shen Huaijin just found them in the forest on the west side of the valley in the past two days, and the two sides are fixed with other stumps and stumps.

The whole tribe acted together and built a simple bridge before dinner.

The two boys Xi and Hei are the rarest ones. They hurriedly stepped on the bridge as soon as it was finished. After walking for two laps, they jumped up carefully, feeling that their feet were still stable. They were pleasantly surprised: "The bridge Jin said is really good. Use it, everyone, come and try it!"

After hearing this, the orcs and sub-beasts got on the bridge curiously.Five or six people stood on it, and the naked eye did not see a slight subsidence of the bridge body.

Shen Huaijin was relieved. It seemed that as long as everyone didn't rush up the bridge in a swarm, it shouldn't be a problem for the bridge to last for a few years.At that time, there will be more tools, just replace the new bridge.

With the bridge issue settled, Shen Huaijin can justifiably build a house on the other side of the stream.

Shen Huaijin knew that the tree had been injured for a long time and had been relying on the tribe for relief. She felt guilty, so she ordered three orcs, Li, Lin, and Shu, to help him build a thatched hut, and agreed in advance to exchange their efforts with pottery or bone knives. .

Regarding her own house, Shen Huaijin already had a rough idea.

He wanted to build a thatched house with a storage room behind the thatched house, a work shed on the left side of the thatched house, and a bird shed behind the work shed.

Adult orcs can no longer live with Father Apa, and need to build their own house to live out, so all three of them have experience.

The three orcs tamped the foundation with stones and soil, dug three deep holes on the front and back sides, inserted two short and one long logs that had been dried in the shade in advance, filled and compacted the gaps, and then filled the gaps with logs and trees of different lengths. Leather ropes form the triangular prisms of the upper half of the thatched hut.The inclined plane is bound by wood into a lattice shape, which is very stable, and the orc can sit directly on it.

Immediately afterwards, they built the framework of the storage room and the shed.

Shen Huaijin used two small pottery pots and a bone knife to invite three sub-beasts to pick thatch outside the valley, let the rain help dry it, and used the wood they brought to make some furniture, wooden beds, wooden chairs, and wood. shelf or something.

Because the thatch needs to be dried in the sun before it can be used, several people waited for another four days after the frame was erected before starting to build the roof.After the top is built, the wall is sealed, and thin and straight wood is used to build up horizontally, and each piece is tied firmly.Although it is not made of cement, the degree of sealing is not bad.

Knowing that Shen Huaijin likes a bright environment, Li made two windows that could be opened and closed for him.One is the same as the door, facing the stream, that is, the direction of the square; the other is on the right side of the hut, that is, facing the mouth of the valley, where there is more sunlight.

The three orcs then made a storage house.The storage room was right behind Shen Huaijin's house, and the walls were carefully sealed, and two doors and a window were opened, one of which was connected with the room where Shen Huaijin rested.

The last thing to be built is the work shed and the bird shed, both of which are covered with a roof and sealed with low walls. The former is relatively large, and there is still a lot of space left for the pottery kiln to be caged inside; the latter is surrounded by high fences. In case the wild birds escaped, Shen Huaijin didn't have to tie them up all the time.The work shed and the bird shed are side by side, not close to Shen Huaijin's house, so as to prevent the smoke and birdsong from disturbing him.

The three orcs usually have hunting tasks, so these houses were completed intermittently for more than ten days. Shen Huaijin also guarded from morning to night, weaving rope and drying thatch. During the period, he also made two bone knives and burned two batches. Pottery was used exclusively as payment.But looking at the new, beautiful and practical two houses and two sheds, Shen Huaijin felt that everything was worth it.

Shen Huaijin distributed the bone knives and pottery that had been agreed before to the orcs and sub-beasts who helped, and sent everyone except Li politely away before returning to the medicine house to carry her own things.Li Fei wanted to stay and help move things, but Shen Huaijin couldn't resist him, so she let him go.

His things have actually piled up a lot.A basket of potatoes for next year’s planting was properly placed in the storage house, and the wild birds rushed to the birdhouse. Sweet potatoes, young ginger, lemon, licorice, herbs, fruit washing, hemp vines, etc. are in small quantities and needed immediately. They are sorted and placed on wooden shelves or in the corner of the lounge, while onions and garlic are planted by the side of the house.Finally he put his backpack on the bedside.

After finishing all this in an orderly manner, Shen Huaijin opened her arms loosely, lay on her back on the bed, and let out a long breath.

Although it is very tiring, having a house of his own gives him a lot of sense of security.

"Are you happy?" Li leaned on the door and asked him.

Only then did Shen Huaijin realize that the other party hadn't left. He turned his head and looked at the silver-haired orc standing against the light.

"Well, I'm glad."

"Just be happy." With a sharp smile, he fell silent again, and said softly, "It would be great if I could find you sooner."

Shen Huaijin was relaxing in her heart, she didn't think about it for a while, and said bluntly: "Even if we knew each other earlier, I wouldn't like you because of it."

Besides, if he came to this different world when he was a student, he would probably have been eaten in the wild beast jungle in the early morning of the next day.

His eyelashes drooped, his eyes were obscure, "No, that's not what I mean. I mean... your witch doctor skills are amazing. The tree has been injured so badly, and now it can be used to hunt and build houses."

He paused, raised his head, his eyes showed a little confusion and helplessness, "If I can find you sooner, if you can come to the tribe sooner..."

Shen Huaijin suddenly realized that he had never seen Li's fathers in the tribe, so maybe...

It turned out that under the firelight that day, the tears in his eyes were not an illusion. The frail look made this orc, who had always been a strong ego, show a great sense of contrast. Shen Huaijin had to admit this strong contradiction, and his heart was shaken.

But the trance was only for a moment. After Shen Huaijin woke up, she secretly cursed herself for being "motherly" towards a beastman who was taller and stronger than him.

He sat up, organized his words, and said, "I also slowly learned how to make herbal medicine when I was an adult. Even if you meet me in advance, you may not be able to help the people you want to help."

So don't feel unnecessary self-blame.

Li noticed his clumsy comfort, forced a smile, and said, "It seems that you are really smart, and you have learned such powerful witch doctor skills in such a short period of time."

Shen Huaijin felt that something was wrong, he hesitated and asked, "How old do you think I am?"

He looked him up and down, and clicked his tongue: "The whole body is white and tender, and your strength is weaker than that of Hei. If it weren't for your height, I would have thought you were still a cub. You just became an adult not long ago, you should be younger than me One point, I'm 17."

Shen Huaijin's eyes widened, and there was great doubt in her small head.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be shocked that he, who is 1.8 meters tall and 28 years old, can be regarded as a minor, or should be shocked that the beast in front of him was only 17 years old because he was so tall and could even lift him up with one hand. He is the real underage in his eyes!

"What's the matter?" Li looked at Shen Huaijin's deeply shocked look, and thought he had guessed wrong, "You must not have surpassed it, and I am also at the end of this off-season, we are the same age, and it is just right to be together. "

"I... I'm 28 years old." Shen Huaijin was dumbfounded.

"Ha." Li couldn't help laughing, "Are you kidding me, your face is as tender as a bastard's."

Shen Huaijin knew that the other party didn't mean that he looked young, but that compared to sub-beasts or even orcs who were exposed to the wind and sun, his skin as a modern person was indeed much "delicate".

Still, he was devastated.

"go out!!!"
