Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The atmosphere became awkward.

Shen Huaijin looked at the owner of the voice, who was standing next to another fire, and it was the sub-beast who snorted at him just now.The other party was staring angrily at the barbecue in his hand at this time, and there was a sense of grievance when his eyes glanced at Li.

Shen Huaijin pondered the cause and effect.

Shen Huaijin: ...Understood, it's Yang.

Before everyone could react, Miao had already stood up from his seat and scolded, "Yang, shut up!"

"Apa!" Yang stomped his feet, "I'm not wrong! He's not a cub, and he hasn't worked since he came to the tribe. Why does he still eat the food of the tribe?"

"You!" Miao was gentle, not good at words, and was choked by Yang's question.

Shen Huaijin looked at the big witch and the leader from the corner of his eye, seeing that they were unmoved, he presumably wanted to observe how he would respond.

Shen Huaijin patted Li's swollen thigh with his hand, stopping the silver-haired orc who woke up instantly and was ready to go.

In all fairness, he felt that what Yang said was not unreasonable, so he tried his best to reply calmly: "I know. Today, I will follow the collection team and go outside the valley to collect."

Shen Huaijin already knew that An was leading the team today, so she was relatively acceptable.

"But you didn't work two days ago, so you can't be assigned food today!" Yang said aggressively.

The sub-beast beside him carefully pulled his arm, and persuaded: "Yang, don't talk about it." Everyone clearly saw that the big witch and the leader attached great importance to this sub-beast.

Yang shook off his hand and ignored him at all.

Li Dao, who was sitting by the side, immediately retorted: "According to what you said, you were not the one who led the team to collect it yesterday. Should you be hungry today?"

Yang was humiliated by the orcs he liked, and his chattering mouth suddenly shut down.He stared at Li, seeing that the other party was unmoved, with a sarcastic expression still on his face, and then he sat back on the wooden pier angrily, the tears in his eyes were suppressed and suppressed, but they still flowed down.Ya Beast next to him wanted to comfort him, but he also pushed him away.

Only then did the plaza gradually recover from the excitement just now.

Poured a bowl of hot soup made of animal bones and green grass to Shen Huaijin, and said slightly dissatisfied: "You have to stay in the tribe to rest more and learn more orc language. Yang is always bluffing, he can't see others being good, don't you Listen to him."

Shen Huaijin shook her head helplessly.

Brother, that person likes you.

What's more, he wanted to follow the collection to learn more about this continent, to see if there were any crops or herbs he was familiar with, and he was not stimulated by Yang, so he said indifferently: "It's just what I want."

The Dahe tribe implements a two-meal system, and the time for gathering and hunting is different.

Usually after breakfast, the collection team set off to collect outside the valley, return at noon, the hunting team went hunting in the afternoon, returned in the afternoon, and had a second meal in the evening.

The orcs and sub-beasts who did not have a shift that day stayed in the valley to work, while the orcs would rest for a longer period of time due to physical reasons.

Shen Huaijin was yelled at before setting off with the collection team, and they went to his house together.The two were already in a state of truce after the ten-day bet. Shen Huaijin was not afraid of him "bullying" herself, so she followed without hesitation. Unexpectedly, when she entered the room, a hard object was stuffed into his trouser pocket.

Shen Huaijin took it out and saw that it was his dagger. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Don't be afraid, I took it, won't you return it?"

"Hold your self-defense. If something happens to you, where can I find such a sub-beast." Li hooked his lips meaningfully, "It doesn't matter if I give it to you now, what I want to get back, I will definitely get it back .”

"Thanks. The bet will not change."

Although this guy still has nothing good to say, his behavior is not as selfish and rude as when we first met. Shen Huaijin knew that he was worried about his own safety, and he accepted his feelings in his heart, but he still slapped him away. Hands trying to touch their own head.

"No, use your hands and feet."

Li Po looked at Shen Huaijin's smooth black hair with regret, thinking what a stingy sub-beast, he was so attached to him that he didn't even let his hair be touched.

Shen Huaijin followed the collection team out of the valley, only to find out that the valley is very close to the Hengduan Mountains.

Looking west from the mouth of the valley, you can see the towering mountains and the snow on the top of the mountain. The forests extending from the mountains are connected with the vegetation and valleys. Looking east from the mouth of the valley, you can see the continuous low vegetation and the lakes and rivers dotted in between. .

When Shen Huaijin was in the wild beast jungle, he only felt that the surrounding trees towered into the sky.Now standing in the valley and looking at it, it just feels like a "thin rope" separating the sky and the earth, which shows the vastness of Linshanyuan and the speed of the orcs who can run back and forth in an afternoon.

The collection team went out of the valley and went straight, all the way to the south.

Because of the deterrent power of the orcs, there are no threatening beasts near the valley, so everyone only needs to be careful of snakes and insects when picking, and don't have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts.

The subbeasts used wooden sticks to open the way and picked edible fruits while walking.

Shen Huaijin, who didn't know which fruits were poisonous, cut off some branches with a saw blade while learning, and moved them back to make firewood.

When the folding saw was taken out, it was watched by all the sub-beasts. Everyone was amazed that there was such a thin, hard and sharp thing in the Western Continent. It didn't feel like a bone or a stone.

However, although the physique of the sub-beast is weaker than that of the orc, it is still stronger than Shen Huaijin. Usually, he collects firewood with bare hands or with a stone axe. Seeing that the folding saw can only be used for sawing wood, he didn't take it too seriously. Sorry. It took Shen Huaijin time to explain.

An always remembered the instructions of Beast Father and Ya Father, and carefully protected Shen Huaijin along the way. When a bug flew towards him, he was so nervous that he was facing an enemy, which made Shen Huaijin both moved and funny.

"Ann, it's okay, I will pay attention and protect myself." Shen Huaijin was quite dumbfounded.

An is still very vigilant, "There are a lot of poisonous insects in this area, and it hurts and itches after a bite. Your skin is so tender, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable if you are bitten by poisonous insects."

Shen Huaijin probably heard the meaning that the bugs were poisonous, so naturally she didn't dare to be careless, and watched the bugs flying over her head vigilantly.

Who knew that Shen Huaijin, who was looking at the top of her head, didn't pay attention to her feet, and stumbled over the vines on the trail. If she hadn't been nimble and reacted, she would have almost fallen headfirst to make a joke.

An grabbed his arm in time, and complained a little when she saw the vine: "It grows so fast, it always blocks the road, and I almost fell here before."

"What kind of plant is this?"

Shen Huaijin asked curiously, and squatted down to observe the leaves on the ground. The heart-shaped leaves had fluff on both sides, which seemed familiar to him.

Shen Huaijin is a city person, and only spent time in the countryside with her grandparents when she was a child.For professional reasons, he is more proficient in herbal medicine, but not familiar with crops.But when he saw this leaf, he felt familiar, which meant that it must have been common in his childhood, but he couldn't remember what kind of crop it was.

"This is inedible." A sub-beast named Lu next to Shen Huaijin saw his entanglement and explained proactively.

Shen Huaijin asked: "Tribe, have you tried it?"

Lu replied: "Yes. The roots underneath look so big. Everyone thought they had found food that could survive the cold season, and only found it was poisonous after eating."

Shen Huaijin was still curious, he inserted the branch in his hand into the soil, dug a few times, and saw brown roots covered with soil.

Pull it out again to have a look.

It's sweet potatoes!Shen Huaijin's eyes widened in surprise.

No wonder it looks familiar.Since he was a child, he loved to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so his grandfather set aside a small plot of land to grow them, which impressed Shen Huaijin deeply.

Sweet potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, proteins and multivitamins. They are nutritious and can be made in a variety of ways. They are also one of the high-yield crops.

"This is called sweet potato in our place. I have eaten this, and it is not poisonous. The tribe ate this, poisoned?"

Shen Huaijin asked Lu, hoping that Lu had misidentified the plant, and he didn't want to be disappointed after being pleasantly surprised.

Reed is a young sub-beast. The idea that this plant is poisonous was taught to him by the previous sub-beast. He has never actually seen anyone in the tribe eat this poisonous one. Hearing Shen Huaijin's words, he had to scratch his head helplessly.

An replied for him: "When I was a child, I saw the orcs in the tribe eat it, and soon after eating it, I had abdominal pain and vomiting. It is also the same leaves and roots."

This is strange.

Shen Huaijin pulled out a few more sweet potatoes, and felt that they looked exactly the same as the ones on the earth, why did the ones here have poison?

He recalled the common root crops, and asked tentatively, "Did this one sprout when you ate it?"

An frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

Shen Huaijin felt a little better.

Sweet potatoes are non-toxic no matter whether they sprout or not, but potatoes are not. Germinated potatoes will produce a neurotoxin called solanine. Eating a certain amount will cause itching in the throat, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Symptoms of shortness of breath.

The Asian beasts are very unfamiliar with potatoes and sweet potatoes. Potatoes in this world may also look more like sweet potatoes. It is not impossible to mistake the two.

So he still insisted: "I think the ones you have eaten are called potatoes. This is called sweet potato. It is not poisonous and can be eaten."

Ann shook her head, "The tribe can't take risks."

Shen Huaijin: "I'll take it back, find the beast first, and eat it. The beast is fine, I'll eat it. I'm fine, the tribe will eat it."

Seeing his insistence, Ann had no choice but to agree.

Shen Huaijin tied the firewood together with grass stems and carried it behind her back, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, she held a few sweet potatoes to her chest.

"It's very similar to this one. Where is the plant?" Shen Huaijin asked again.

If it was really a potato, he could feel his saliva secreting crazily when he thought of the potato vermicelli.

An looked at him in surprise, and persuaded: "That is really poisonous, I saw it with my own eyes! The orcs and sub-beasts in the tribe rolled on the ground in pain after eating it."

Shen Huaijin explained: "Potatoes are poisonous only when they germinate. If they don't germinate, they are not poisonous and delicious."

An shook his head helplessly, and said: "The potatoes you said are in the other direction of the valley. We will only go to one direction at a time, and the location of the collection is also rotated. If you want to find it, you will have to rise and fall behind me for several days. take you there."

Having said that, An Xin sighed.I feel that Shen Huaijin must be a witch who was raised in a large tribe since he was a child, and has no experience of working outside, otherwise how could he naively think that everything can be eaten.

If this is the case, how can there be tribes on the Orc Continent who cannot survive the long and harsh cold season because they cannot find enough food?

Shen Huaijin could tell from the expressions of An and the other Asian beasts what they were thinking, and he was not discouraged.

After the experiment, as long as the sweet potato can be eaten, this kind of doubt will naturally be solved, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
