Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Shen Huaijin naturally became the great witch of the Dahe Tribe. No member objected, but no one cheered because of it. Everyone was immersed in the pain of losing Xiu.

Sub-beasts have never left the tribe, but almost all adult orcs have been to other original tribes. They know that the big witches outside are all aloof, unlike Xiu, who have never eaten the same food as them, no matter how precious herbs are. She is willing to be used by the orcs, and she persists in working before she gets sick, and always smiles kindly at the cubs.

Although the big witch of the Dahe Tribe is not as powerful as other big witches, he treats every member as his own cub.

Shen Huaijin presided over the funeral in this different world.

He wears an inherited animal tooth necklace and holds a wooden staff with animal heads.

The crowd formed a circle, seeing Xiu's body gradually being engulfed by orange flames, there was the sound of bitter cries.

The fire burned for two hours, but no one left, everyone waited quietly.

According to the custom, Shen Huaijin came to the stream with the still warm ashes, recited a short section of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and then gently lifted the ashes into the water.

"Xiu, I will take your expectation and lead the Dahe tribe down." Shen Huaijin promised in her heart.

The mourning members were stunned when they heard Shen Huaijin's scriptures. Although they didn't understand the meaning, they felt the comforting and stabilizing power in it. The embrace of the beast god.

This is probably Jin's sacrificial power, the orcs and sub-beasts present all thought so.

Shen Huaijin stood up and looked at everyone, seeing Li's eye circles were also a little red.Although he always acted generously in front of Xiu, this was not disrespect, but a kind of implicit trust and dependence.

Shen Huaijin looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, it almost made him cry.

Hot wind and sun.

Time flies so fast, it has been a year since he came to this world.

Xiu left, but life still had to go on.

His house was left unused, Shen Huaijin was supposed to live in it, but Shen Huaijin already had a better place, so this house was waiting for the next witch.

Han didn't intend to be a witch's assistant anymore, he had this idea since the last time the tree had an accident, but after evading it, the big witch fell ill, and he has been taking care of him until now.

Now he is more aware of the preciousness of the people around him. Although he really wants to do things for Shen Huaijin, he hopes to be an ordinary sub-beast, collect them on weekdays, and live a good life with the tree.

Shen Huaijin also respected his choice.

Miao still wanted to continue, but Shen Huaijin didn't need others to wait on her, and Li didn't want others to disturb her, so Shen Huaijin decided to let Miao go to the pharmacy with her.Yu and Ming have already learned a stage, so it's okay to teach some simple things for a while.

There are too few things left by Xiu, but Shen Huaijin will always remember that when he was helpless and had difficulty in communicating, there was an old man with a kind smile who spent a lot of time and energy to help him.

Even if you have other intentions.

At night, Li hugged Shen Huaijin to sleep, and suddenly said in a low voice, "I'm a little scared."

Shen Huaijin closed her eyes, "Indeed. Sometimes death comes too fast, and there is no time to say goodbye."

Li hugged him tightly, "Jin, form a bond with me. Watching Xiu go away with the stream, I think that one day you will leave me like this, and my heart hurts, as if I can't breathe."

Shen Huaijin patted him on the back lightly, "Don't be afraid, I have been paying attention since I came to this world, and now I can basically confirm that my life span is different from that of ordinary human beings, it is estimated to be three times the average human life span, Well, that's about two hundred years old."

This is based on the growth rate of his hair. He hasn’t cut his hair during this period of time. According to the growth rate of his hair and the frequency of shaving, he probably got this result, and he has a hunch, The time deceleration buff on him will not change in the future.

After the non-living body in his body came to this world that did not belong to them, time stagnated forever, and his living body successfully "invaded" or merged with this world after a period of time, and time flowed on him again and at a stable speed down.

However, due to the different time flow rates of the two worlds, his current growth rate is only about one-third of that on Earth.

Hearing Shen Huaijin's words, Li fell silent.At first, he wanted to form the highest-level beast bond with Shen Huaijin, hoping to live and die with him. Now that Shen Huaijin lived nearly a hundred years longer than him, he began to consider an ordinary beast bond.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Huaijin frowned, and said sharply, "Why did you change your mind? Do you think I'm willing to watch you leave like this?"

Li heard what he meant, and surprise burst out on his face, "Have you promised me? Be my partner, live and die together."

"Fool, otherwise, how could you still sleep in my room every day after the cold season? Do you know how hot you are?" Shen Huaijin leaned forward and kissed his side cheek, "But I want to choose a On a good day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, we will form a bond, and we will hold the ceremony in the next water season, okay?"

Without a word, Li held the other person's face that became more and more radiant under the candlelight, and kissed him deeply.

The next day, Shen Huaijin was woken up by the itching on his face. He opened his eyes helplessly, and he really saw the smile on his face, which was so tough that it seemed a bit violent. How did the lazy orc manage to wake up before him.

"Stop making trouble, get up quickly."

"No trouble, it's still early, let me hug you for a while." Li Ruan said in a soft voice.

Acting like a baby with a low voice that was hoarse in the morning was really amazing, and Shen Huaijin felt the back of her neck tremble.

"I have to ask today's collection team if they will go to the bamboo forest. I want to take advantage of these two days to collect another batch of bamboo shoots and dry them to eat. In the hot season, fresh bamboo shoots will not taste good."

Sternly advised: "Although the bamboo shoots are delicious, there are not many other fruits there. The collection team doesn't go there often. Why don't I take you there, anyway, the bamboo forest is not far away."

Shen Huaijin thought about it, and thought it was okay, they just happened to be able to shoot a few bamboo rats to try something new.

"Then we have to go early, the bamboo shoots are delicious only when we dig them in the morning, and we can catch a few bamboo rats there and bring them back for breakfast."

Li obediently obeyed, the two got up and went to wash up.

After washing, Shen Huaijin went to feed the wild birds and furry animals first.He originally kept the hairy beast for its milk, but who knew that the cubs were cute at that time, so he didn't force milk the mother beast, and he didn't expect to delay and forget about it.

Now that the cubs of the hairy beast can eat food, Shen Huaijin decided to divide the animal pen into two halves, separate the female animal and the cubs, and then milk them to prevent the female animal from being unwilling to be milked because of the cubs.

Taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, the two quickly went to the bamboo forest with tools and rattan baskets on their backs, and filled them with dug bamboo shoots.

There are several bamboo mouse holes in the bamboo grove, and Shen Huaijin has long been addicted to them.

He kept one opening and blocked the rest with stones.Using a hoe to dig along the hole to a certain extent, Shen Huaijin took a wooden stick, lit it and pushed it along the hole, and the hole was blocked with hay.

About 10 minutes later, Shen Huaijin took away the hay at the entrance of the cave, and saw two bamboo rats, one gray and one white, which had been smoky and unbearably simmered in the cave, slowly crawled out.

Li directly broke their necks.

Shen Huaijin praised, "What a beautiful bamboo rat, take home one stewed and one grilled."

The two were delayed for some time because of catching bamboo rats, and they were a little hungry at this time, so they speeded up and returned to the tribe.

He quickly disemboweled the bamboo rats, removed the internal organs, shaved the hair on them, and cut one of the bamboo rats into pieces.

Shen Huaijin prepared the condiments, kneaded the bamboo rat pieces with ginger and salt, and marinated them. This process took about half an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, he put salt on the other bamboo rat, finely chopped the onion, garlic, licorice powder, and dried chili, and put them together with the bamboo rat meat in a pot and kneaded them evenly. Clamp it and let Li put it on the charcoal to bake.

On the other end, Shen Huaijin put the bamboo rat cubes marinated for 10 minutes into the jar, then added fresh bamboo shoots and radishes, brought to a boil over high heat, and then simmered slowly over low heat.

Li's roasted bamboo rats are already cooked, and they can be eaten after being topped with hot animal oil.The roasted bamboo rat meat tastes sweet, the meat is smooth and tender, and looking at the golden skin after being roasted, I have to say that it is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

The soup was simmering slowly, but they were not in a hurry as they ate the roasted bamboo rat which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.The stewed soup does not need to be served specially, just sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve it directly.

The stewed bamboo rat meat is tender and fresh, the bamboo shoots are crisp and delicious, and the radishes are soft and chewy, which is very satisfying to eat.Li was a little hungry, so he simply added a handful of sweet potato vermicelli to the soup, and cooked another soup vermicelli.

After the two finished eating, they started to make dried bamboo shoots.

The freshly dug bamboo shoots in the early morning are peeled off, the old roots are removed, cleaned and cut into small strips.Shen Huaijin also taught Li the method of peeling the bamboo shoots, as long as a knife is used to cut a vertical slit on the bamboo shoots, it will be much easier to peel the bamboo shoots.

Seeing that the bamboo shoots were almost ready, Shen Huaijin got up and turned on the fire, poured water into the cooker and added a little salt, and when the water boiled, poured in all the processed spring bamboo shoots until they were cooked through.

Take out the cooked bamboo shoots one by one with a colander, let it cool down a little, drain the water, and then put on salt to marinate for about an hour, marinate the bamboo shoots to get a little water, continue to drain, and then put them under the sun for exposure.Like the current weather, the sun can be finished in almost two days.

The few "bamboo mats" that Shen Huaijin and Li made at the beginning were really uncomfortable to lie on because of poor craftsmanship. Now they can be used to dry dried bamboo shoots, and there is no need to find stone slabs or cut open rattan baskets for drying mushrooms in the future. up.

Shen Huaijin was very satisfied when she saw the bamboo shoots of the three bamboo rafts that were fully sun-dried.

He made a pot of scented tea, and sat under the peach tree to sip it. At this time, the peach blossoms had already fallen, and the branches and leaves were lush, which was suitable for shade and coolness.Looking up, you can still see green peach fruits among the branches and leaves, and you can imagine the fruity and fragrant appearance in a month or two.

Peach blossoms are gone, and Xitou is surrounded by greenery. It is a good time in late spring.

The author has something to say: At the end of this chapter, it seemed that Xiao Shen was sitting under a tree drinking tea, accompanied by the spring breeze and warm sun and the dog, which was quite gratifying.

Today is Christmas Eve, I wish you all peace and joy~
