Beginning Backpack [Farming]
Chapter 25 The Rainy Period
Shen Huaijin was very happy that another "business" was negotiated.
As soon as Li Xuexue came back, he called him to try his bow and arrow on the other side of the stream.
"Is this what you said, the way to protect yourself?" Li asked, holding the bow in his hand.
"Yeah!" Shen Huaijin nodded, showed off a bow and arrow, and said, "When I'm hiding in a tree, if a wild animal approaches, I can just shoot it to death with an arrow. You can try it." , Shen Huaijin handed the bow and arrow to Li again.
"I've been doing this for a long time, so pay attention to your strength." He reminded.
But Li obviously misunderstood, thinking that Shen Huaijin was asking him to use more strength, and also thinking how much strength would it take to use a bow and arrow that even Jin can use?
Although he slandered, he obediently drew the bow forcefully, and the muscles in his arms swelled into a powerful shape.
With a "snap", the bow arm was directly broken by him.
Fortunately, the orc dodged quickly, otherwise the bouncing wood would have hit him on the head.
Shen Huaijin: "..."
Shen Huaijin: "Ah, ah, I will kill you!"
Shen Huaijin was dumbfounded, when he thought that the bow and arrow he had worked so hard for several days was broken by this stupid big man, he was angry and wronged, and kicked the opponent's calf.
Li Ye's heart was beating wildly, and he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
He didn't expect that he would break the bow that the other party had made for several days just by exerting some strength. Now facing Shen Huaijin who was so angry that tears were about to come out, he was even more at a loss, allowing him to kick himself to vent his anger.
Shen Huaijin felt even more annoyed when she saw that she was kicking the opponent, but the opponent remained motionless.
Li whispered: "Don't be angry, you can teach me how to do it tomorrow, and I'll make it for you again, okay?"
"Then will you take me hunting?" Shen Huaijin asked.
"Take, I will take you wherever you want, but you have to make a new bow and arrow first."
Shen Huaijin nodded. Now that his goal had been achieved, he calmed down a bit.
In fact, this matter can't be entirely blamed, after all, bows and arrows are made according to their own strength, the strength gap between the two may be a bit large, and the blame is only that their physique is too weak compared to the native orcs.
It just so happened that An came to learn how to make bows and arrows the next day, and Shen Huaijin taught them together.
This time there is less time to choose materials, and Li has great strength and quick movements, so the two bows were completed relatively quickly.
Just when Shen Huaijin was happy that she was able to go hunting with her, the weather turned bad.
The weather had been hot and dry, and it rained heavily.
The people in the tribe took it for granted. They hurriedly built a simple shed for the eating place in the square, hurriedly finished the affairs of the tribe, and rushed to the other side of the stream to build a shed for Shen Huaijin's stove.
The rain was so powerful that although it dispelled the heat of the past few days, it also broke Shen Huaijin's original plan.
The people in the tribe have not been out of the valley these two days, staying in the tribe to eat the food that was hoarded some time ago, Shen Huaijin is also a little sluggish, so Yu doesn't have to follow him these two days, and he has two meals a day at the bank of the stream. Grill some sweet potatoes and serve them with kimchi radishes.
An came to look for him in the rain, saw that he was gloomy, and asked curiously, "Jin, why are you upset?"
Shen Huaijin shook her head and said, "It rained so heavily suddenly, I feel like I can't do many things."
An comforted: "It usually doesn't rain in the hot season, and it will only happen when the hot season is halfway through, and it will be over in two days."
It was only then that Shen Huaijin realized why the tribe seemed to take it for granted. It turned out that it was the climate characteristics here, which were similar to the solar terms in country C.
An guessed that he was unhappy because he was imprisoned in the tribe and could not go out, and persuaded him: "Before the rainy season, we would pick some leaves of plants that are not afraid of water, but during this time I was busy with other things and forgot. If you feel overwhelmed, we will pick some in advance next hot season, so that you can walk in the valley with the leaves on during the rainy season, but you can’t go outside the valley.”
Shen Huaijin didn't feel aggrieved and uncomfortable just because he stayed in the house for two days. Instead, he was more curious about the plant leaves that are not afraid of water, so he couldn't help asking: "What kind of plant leaves are not afraid of water? Have you ever eaten this kind of plant leaves?" Plants?"
An replied: "When water is sprinkled on this kind of leaves, it will roll down automatically. You don't have to worry about getting wet by the rain when you put it on it. The tribe has picked its fruits under the soil before, but after washing it, the hands will stink. Itchy, everyone dare not eat."
Shen Huaijin frowned, thinking that the plant An mentioned looked like taro no matter what.This made him look forward to it a little more, "Ann, I think this looks like a plant I know, can you call me next time you want to collect it nearby?"
An naturally agreed.
Although the days of being locked up in the rain were boring, Shen Huaijin replayed a few classic old movies, and it passed.
On the first day after the heavy rain ended, the tribe resumed their usual work and rest, collecting what should be collected, and hunting what should be hunted.
I heard that the collection team is going to collect plants that can only be found after the rain today. It is said that they are short, plump and blooming, and they have different colors.
Shen Huaijin asked, "Does it usually grow on wet mud or rotten wood?"
Ann nodded: "Yes, Jin, do you know this too?"
Shen Huaijin said: "This kind of plant is called a mushroom, and there are many types, some of which may be poisonous."
An agreed: "Yes, so we will only pick those we know to eat. Although there are not many types that can be eaten, there are still a lot of them. Jin, do you want to go gathering with us?"
Shen Huaijin shook her head, "No, I want to go to a distant place with Li and the others today. When you go to collect, gather more mushrooms. If you have more, you can trade them with me."
An and the other sub-beasts listened to the movement and agreed one after another.
Shen Huaijin took the bow and arrow, carried the rattan basket and followed Li and the others out of the valley. Not long after he left, he was picked up by Li with one hand, and the team moved forward at full speed.Shen Huaijin is also a little used to being hugged. Anyway, the other party runs very steadily, so he doesn't have to worry about falling off.
I didn't see any familiar plants along the way, but Shen Huaijin was not discouraged. After all, he had been out collecting with An and the others for almost two months before he could find some ingredients, and some of them were found by Rong for him.The same goes for hunting, it is impossible to be lucky every time.
As usual, Shen Huaijin sat on the tree and waited for them, while still eating the purple berries that the other party picked on the road.
His excellent eyesight allowed him to see wolves and leopards galloping on the grassland in the distance. The silver wolf at the head was the largest and most agile, but he deliberately controlled his speed in consideration of the formation. A group of prey was surrounded by them. Completely defenseless.
Today's prey is the gray horned beast again, the kind of animal that looks like a yak.
Shen Huaijin found that there were not many types of animals that she could see here.There are few predators here other than the orcs, and they are not the same as those on Earth, and they basically act alone.As for the prey that were put on the orc recipes, they were similar to what Shen Huaijin knew, such as gray-horned beasts like yaks, big-eared beasts like sika deer, wild birds like pheasants, and aquatic fish, etc.
Shen Huaijin was imagining that it would be great if he could find animals like sheep. Goat milk and wool are very useful derivatives. Suddenly, he felt the hairs on his back stand up, giving him an ominous premonition.
He looked down and saw a red-spotted snake with thick arms coiling upwards.
Just by looking at the pointed head and pattern, you can tell that the toxicity is not shallow!
Shen Huaijin sighed. Although he was not afraid of snakes, he just hated this kind of reptile that looked slippery and sticky. What's more, the other party was poisonous, so he couldn't bite and play with it.
He draws the bow and shoots the arrow.
The snake moved nimbly, and Shen Huaijin shot several arrows before being nailed to the ground. Just like that, the snake was still writhing.
Shen Huaijin looked disgusted, and was about to shoot another arrow to nail it completely, when the silver wolf who had returned from hunting flattened the snake's head with his palm.
After everyone changed back to human form, they looked at such a thick snake and praised without hesitation: "Jin, you are so good, you can have extra meals tonight."
Shen Huaijin climbed down from the tree, wrinkled his nose and looked at the smashed head of the snake, and said with disgust: "If you want to eat it, you can make it yourself, don't put it in my clay pot."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the arrow on the ground on his own.
Li raised his eyebrows, and threw the snake corpse to Ming who was beside him.
The hunting team carried the prey, so the return journey was not fast, so Shen Huaijin took the opportunity to collect some berries, mushrooms and the like.
There are so many kinds of mushrooms, and he can't tell whether they are poisonous or not just by their color. He picked them all the way and asked them all the time. When he returned to the tribe, he managed to collect a basket of purple berries and mushrooms.
The tribe's collection team has reaped a lot.
The strength of the working people is strong. They tie two rattan baskets together with ropes and carry them one behind the other. In this way, it is not a problem for the nimble sub-beasts to collect two baskets of food at a time.
Because of the continuous rain for several days, the tribe can only eat the accumulated food. Today they finally harvested fresh food, and they are all very happy.
During the meal, several sub-beasts came over and asked if they could exchange mushrooms for Shen Huaijin's bow and arrow.
It turned out that they were all members of An's team. Today when they went out to collect with An, they saw his bow and arrow and tried it out, and they all liked it very much.
Because Shen Huaijin had said before setting off that he could exchange mushrooms for other things, the sub-beasts wondered if they could also exchange for bows.
Shen Huaijin drank the delicious mushroom soup, and also intentionally hoarded more mushrooms in her heart, and dried them all to eat in the cold season, so she said without hesitation: "Of course. Not only bows and arrows, but also other things can be exchanged. For example, a basket of mushrooms can be exchanged for a handful." Bone knife, two baskets of mushrooms for a small pottery, three baskets of mushrooms for a large pottery or a set of bows and arrows."
He considered that once the weather cleared up, the mushrooms would wither quickly, and the sub-beasts would go out of the valley to collect them once in three days, so they might not be able to collect three baskets, and added: "If you can't save three baskets of mushrooms, one or two of them Baskets can be replaced with sweet potatoes or radishes.”
Several Asian beasts looked at each other and agreed.Although it takes at least nine days to save three baskets of food, it is a good deal to exchange for a large pottery or a set of bows and arrows.
After dinner, Yan will hold a tribal meeting.
The concept of "tribal meeting" was also proposed by Shen Huaijin.
The tribe usually eats together, and everyone can tell what is going on during the meal, but now everyone eats separately, and the place is not necessarily in the square, and the time is not necessarily at the same time. It is more difficult to inform something.
Therefore, Shen Huaijin suggested that the tribe hold a meeting every five days. In the evening, all members, regardless of whether they have eaten or not and where they ate, should come to the square at the same time for the meeting.
At the meeting, Yan proposed to let Rin lead the team to Tianheyuan to go to the market five days later.
As soon as Li Xuexue came back, he called him to try his bow and arrow on the other side of the stream.
"Is this what you said, the way to protect yourself?" Li asked, holding the bow in his hand.
"Yeah!" Shen Huaijin nodded, showed off a bow and arrow, and said, "When I'm hiding in a tree, if a wild animal approaches, I can just shoot it to death with an arrow. You can try it." , Shen Huaijin handed the bow and arrow to Li again.
