After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

The huts of the lion people are not good enough to keep warm.

In the early morning, Bai Wu woke up abruptly from the cold.

He felt that his feet were numb with cold, like cold iron, no matter how much he bent his legs and pressed them against his thighs, the soles of his feet were still cold.

He wrapped himself up in the animal skin and couldn't fall asleep, so he had to get up.

It was still dark outside, and it was foggy everywhere.

Bai Wu slipped out with her hands in her sleeves.

There are already people from the lion clan busy outside, and there are patrolling orcs and sub-orcs in the distance.

The Leonids were already cooking, and there was the smell of food in the air.

Seeing Bai Wu coming out, everyone raised their heads together and looked at Bai Wu in unison. When they found out that it was someone they knew, they lowered their heads and went back to work.

A kind sub-orc man beckoned Bai Wu to go, "It's a bit cold in the morning, come here to warm up."

"Thank you." Bai Wu walked to the fire pond, sat down, reached for a firewood and started to light the fire, "You guys got up really early."

"Aren't the old orcs and sub-orcs of your tribe so early?"

Bai Wu raised her head and smiled, "It seems to be the same. Everyone says that when you get older and feel less sleepy, you will get up."

"Then it's the same for us, are you hungry? Let's eat a piece of sweet root first."

Before Bai Wu could refuse, the old orc beside him had already stuffed a tuber into his hand.

The stems had just been steamed from the pot, and they were still steaming. When I took the white wu in my hand, I felt that it was too hot when I held it for a little longer, so I hurriedly put it on the haystack next to it.

"I'm going to brush my teeth first."

The lion people use another kind of stick as a tooth cleaning stick, which tastes similar to their tooth cleaning stick, and it is also sweet with a little fresh woody taste.

Bai Wu put it in his mouth and chewed it, and it felt quite novel.

After the Baiwu was washed briefly, I took the stems in my hand.

The stem was still very hot, so he tossed the stem back and forth, and after making sure it fit in the palm of his hand, he gently peeled off the skin of the stem, and took a bite of the soft and waxy fruit sac inside.

The fruit capsule inside is soft, glutinous and sweet, and the taste is very good.

Their tribe also has this kind of stem, but because it grows on the grassland, their tribe is relatively rare, and he hasn't eaten this kind of stem for a long time.

There's something mind-bogglingly satisfying about eating a piece of starchy food on a chilly morning like this.

Bai Wu raised her head and exhaled hot air, her eyes narrowed happily.

Not long after Bai Wu got up, Nan Yao got up too.

Nan Yao strode over.

Bai Wu patted the wooden pier next to him, signaling Nan Yao to come and sit down.

The two chatted quietly by the fire.

"Were you cold last night?"

"Not cold, are you cold?"

"It will be a bit early in the morning. You can try this stem, it is better than the noodles we usually eat."

Nan Yao went to brush his teeth, and shared the same noodle fruit with him.

Just as they got together to talk, people from the Lion Clan got up one after another.

Haifeng also got up, "How did you sleep last night?"

"Everything else is comfortable, except that it's a bit cold." Bai Wu smiled, "Clan Chief Haifeng, have you considered it?"

Haifeng didn't expect him to get to the point so quickly, "We have indeed found grass seeds without bitterness, but what do you want to use in exchange? We also have the beans you brought. As for pepper, it's just a little bit, not enough Let us take you there."

As soon as Bai Wu heard it, he knew that he had other plans, so he tilted his body slightly, "What plan does Patriarch Haifeng have? Why don't you propose it first, and we can discuss whether we can accept it?"

"If you can find non-bitter grass seeds, are you going to use them as rations?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Our tribe can't stand not eating meat. Besides, our tribe's food is quite rich. How can a mere grass seed be used as rations?"

"If you didn't want to use it as rations, why did you travel so far to find it?"

The two orcs looked at each other.

There is determination in Haifeng's eyes.

Bai Wu's eyes were very calm, and he even smiled, "It's not completely wrong to insist on rations. I have raised bleating beasts at home, and I want to get some grass back and plant them in the valley as rations for them."

The two parties have come and gone several times.

Haifeng sat up straight, "If you want to feed the baa-baa beast, you can feed it to the baa-baa beast. Let me be honest, I want us to take you to find that kind of grass seed that is not bitter, and use the method of building a house to exchange it."

Bai Wu paused.

Gale raised her chin, waiting for his answer.

Bai Wu said: "Not to mention a single grass species, it is not enough for me to teach you how to build a house. If you want to build a house, there are so many materials and steps from the foundation to the wall to the roof. What do I have to teach you? time to go?"

Gale frowned and was about to speak.

Bai Wu lowered his hands, signaling him to stay calm, "I can't promise you this, I don't plan to stay in your tribe for too long. But I can promise to teach you how to mine stones."

"We've heard that, it's to set fire before it rains, and when it's heated up, the stone will crack when the heavy rain falls, right? You don't need to teach us this, we will."

Bai Wu didn't expect them to be so clear, and looked at Nan Yao in surprise.

Haifeng laughed, "It seems that what I heard is true."

"The chief of the Hurricane clan is very well informed. Since you already know how to mine stones, there is nothing else special to pay attention to in the house. Just pick the stones and stick them with resin."

"We know everything else. How do you do that tile? I know it's similar to firing pottery. Is there any specific key in it?"

Bai Wu didn't expect that after talking for a long time, he actually wanted to know how to make tiles.

This is not a difficult task, nor does it have much technical content.

Bai Wu thought for a while and looked at him, "I can tell you how to fire the tiles, and even show you how to burn them. However, if I exchange the tiles with you, it will definitely not be the same as it is now, just changing the tiles. A little grass seed."

"What else do you want to change, just say it, I'll see if it works."

Bai Wu didn't hesitate, "I want to get the right to hunt and gather in your tribe!"

Not to mention the unexpected look on Haifeng's face, even Nan Yao froze.

Gai Feng frowned, "This is different from the general conditions. If you are allowed to hunt and gather in our tribe, wouldn't that give you the right to use our territory?"

"I can't say that, I just want to collect some seeds and hunt some small animals in your territory. I am not the owner of this land, at best I am just a guest. When you want to hunt, I will definitely not rob you."

Gale was silent.

Bai Wu said: "Patriarch Haifeng is so well-informed, you must have heard that when I was in our bird orc tribe, I could also go hunting and gathering in other tribes' territories."

"It's been a long time since other tribes allowed me to go to their territory, and you haven't heard any bad news, have you? It means that I'm a relatively reliable person, at least I haven't caused any trouble."

Haifeng sat on the spot and rubbed his knees for a long time before saying to him: "We need a meeting within the clan to vote on this matter."

"Of course." Bai Wu bowed slightly, "We will stay here for about three days. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Making the tile itself will also take a certain amount of time."

Haifeng is not a procrastination person, he said that he would call a meeting of the whole clan, and the meeting was held during breakfast.

As outsiders, Bai Wu and Nanyao were invited by their sentry to rest in the lower reaches of the river. In order to prevent them from eavesdropping, the sentry guarded them by the side.

Bai Wu waved to the sentinel, took Nanyao to a place further downstream, and lowered his voice to chat with Nanyao.

Nan Yao asked, "What do you think the result will be?"

"Most likely they will agree. If we don't agree this time, it can only mean that our conditions are not enough. If we increase the conditions, we will get them to agree sooner or later."

"So sure?"

Bai Wu shook her head and talked about another topic, "I was woken up by the cold last night."

Nan Yao frowned, reached out and touched his arm, "Why didn't you call me?"

"When I woke up, it was already dawn, so I just got up." Bai Wu lightly bumped his knee, motioning him not to interrupt, "The living environment of the lion tribe is indeed quite harsh, and adults can still wrap their heads around it." It will be hard for those children to talk about it if they are topped with animal skins."

"So the children turned back into animal shapes at night, just to keep out the cold?"

"I guess so." Bai Wu said in a low voice, "I touched those children yesterday and found that when they were in human form, their little hands were cold. Only when they return to animal form can their whole body warm up."

Bai Wu narrowed his eyes, "I guess they have long wanted to build houses that can shelter from the wind, at least for children."

The huts of the bird orc tribe were not warm enough, the wind and rain, and the cold weather made it impossible for people to stay in the huts.

But the bird orc tribe has many mountains and caves. When the weather is cold, everyone will choose to move to the caves.

The lion people can't use this method. Most of them are grasslands, and there is no way to dig caves, unless they dig holes.

The grassland is relatively humid, and there are rivers everywhere. If you dig underground caves, the snow will melt and seep in, so you probably won't be able to live comfortably.

Their need to build a house is much more urgent than that of the bird orc tribe.

Bai Wu felt that this condition could probably be negotiated.

Nan Yao said: "Even if they agree, it may not be easy for you to come alone. There are more wild animals here and the journey is far away."

"I've also thought about this problem, but agreeing to me coming over is almost their limit. They will never agree to let another person come over. Especially - agreeing to you coming over."

Nanyao's fighting power is too strong, one person is equal to a small tribe.

As long as the people of the Lion Clan are not crazy, it is absolutely impossible for them to agree to his coming.

Bai Wu was aware of this result and didn't even mention it.

"If they really agree to your coming, I can meet you at the edge of the bird orc tribe's territory."

"They will agree, and you will see me later."

While the two were talking here, the results of the Lion Clan's vote had already come out.

Their sub-orc man named Min came over and asked Bai Wu to go back.

Haifeng sat by the firepit, and when he saw them, he said, "I can agree to your conditions, but you can only come here alone."

Bai Wu replied immediately, "No problem, I agree. Believe me, this is definitely a good deal."

Haifeng frowned, "I don't know if it's worth it, but I hope you can make us feel worth it, otherwise it's time for the two clans to fight again."

"Don't be nervous. I'm just a sub-orc man. Even if I come to your tribe to hunt and gather, I won't be able to carry many things on my back. I won't make it difficult for you."

Bai Wu squatted in front of him and said seriously: "In this difficult world, win-win cooperation is definitely more cost-effective than mutual losses."

Bai Wu's eyes were very clear, and his words were very sincere.

Gaifeng took a deep look at him, "You are not at all the same as the one in the legend."

"What am I like in the legend?"

"They all said you were a freak."

"Hahahaha don't I look like a freak now?"

"It's similar, but the strange direction is different."

Haifeng stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you to find that kind of non-bitter grass seeds today."

"It's not enough if it's not bitter, but it also needs to be non-toxic."

"The people of our Lion Clan are upright, so we won't cheat you on this point."

"Thank you then. But don't rush to find that kind of grass seeds, I'll take you to burn tiles first."

Haifeng was really surprised this time, "If you don't find the grass seeds first, aren't you afraid that we will lie to you?"

"You are such a big family living here, where can you lie to me?"

As he spoke, Bai Wu looked back at Nan Yao, and said with a smile, "Besides, our priest is still here. If you lie to me, the two clans are probably going to war."

Nan Yao nodded slightly, making a full supportive gesture.

The last time Bai Wu burned tiles was a few months ago, and his skills have not been lost yet.

He took the lion tribe people to the river to find mud, and then taught them to make pottery with mud, and then peeled the cylinder-shaped pottery into four pieces.

The wind in winter is too strong, and it is not a good time to dry pottery in the shade.

They have to cover these pottery blanks with grass, put them in a leeward place, and slowly dry them in the shade.

The leeks that Baiwu and the others dug up could not be stored for that long, because they decided to stay in the Lion Clan, so they had to take out the leeks they had dug before and eat them first.

Bai Wu felt a little pity, they spent so much effort that day to dig out these leeks.

Now to eat these leeks, it always feels like picking out the gold in his pocket, every time he takes out a handful, he feels heartbroken.

Seeing his heartbroken expression, Min, a sub-beast man from the Lion Clan, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If you want it, when you have to go back, we can dig another batch for you. There are a lot of leeks on the grassland."

Bai Wu muttered, "If it gets colder, it might be covered by snow."

"That's not enough. No matter how heavy the snow falls on our side, if the snow is pushed away, there will still be fresh and tender wild vegetables underneath."

The old Asian orc man who was cooking next to him teased him, "Don't worry, if this year's leeks are gone, we will dig a few big baskets and deliver them to you in person next spring, okay?"

"I just want to eat it this year, so I don't need to wait for next year. Hey, when you cut the leeks, keep the roots for me. Maybe I will take the roots back and they will continue to grow."

"Okay, I'll save it for you. How do you make this leek today? We've tried roasted leeks and leek omelettes. Is there any new way to eat them?"

Bai Wu's cooking skills are not perfect, but he has countless recipes in his mind. These things that can be reached by standing on the shoulders of giants, as long as they show a little or two, it is enough for the lion tribe to marvel.

Seeing that their fresh and tender chives could no longer be kept, Bai Wu sighed and said, "Let's eat fish today. Eat fish fillets and boil them with leeks. Didn't I bring pepper? Grind the pepper with a stone pound, and I will marinate the fish fillets later. "

Before the adults could speak, the child heard the key words and ran around excitedly at his feet, wailing.

Bai Wu's legs were bumped back and forth by the fluffy lion cubs. It didn't hurt, but it was very interesting.

Looking at these lively little lions, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

He is still very happy to feed the lion cub with new dishes.

If the tiles want to dry in the shade, it will take ten days and a half months at least.

Bai Wu couldn't wait here for so long, so he instructed them to build a cave first.

Bai Wu is not very familiar with this step, so it's time for Nanyao to play.

The sub-orcs of the lion tribe and Nanyao got along well, and there was no friction between the two sides.

Nan Yao taught them new things, and they listened carefully.

Those eyes that were thirsty for knowledge made Baiwu feel a little sad.

In fact, after getting along for a long time, I know that the people of the Lion Clan are very bold and generous.

Even if their orcs do like to be opportunistic and steal if they can be lazy, but overall they have no bad intentions and are more hearty and cute.

Facing this group of people, Bai Wu couldn't help watching them suffer from the cold.

Bai Wu not only taught them to make tiles, but also taught them to burn charcoal.

There are relatively few trees in the territory of the lion tribe, and it is more troublesome to cut wood. The heat released by burning wood is not too much. To burn a kiln of tiles, the amount used is too large, which is not the same as burning charcoal.

The Lion Clan dug a cave, and when burning charcoal, Bai Wu led them to send the wood directly into the cave for simmering, which was very convenient.

Bai Wu is a familiar hand, very experienced in the fire, and the charcoal is burnt successfully once.

After the charcoal came out, Bai Wu took them to try burning tiles the next day.

The tiles were not completely dried in the shade, so the success rate of firing was relatively low, but Baiwu just showed them how to fire the tiles, and what steps to pay attention to when firing, the success rate is relatively low, it doesn't matter.

The two stayed in the lion tribe for six full days, which was double their original plan.

Bai Wu felt that he couldn't stay any longer, and if he stayed any longer, his family would probably come to find him.

Bai Wu bid farewell to Haifeng, "Patriarch Haifeng, we have to go back first. If you have any problems, you can come to Bai to find us and talk to our priest, he should agree."

Nan Yao nodded at the side, and said lightly: "The sub-orcs are fine, but don't send your orcs over."

Gale Feng bowed deeply to them, "We Lion Clan people will never forget your kindness."

Seeing the patriarch bow, the other lion clansmen also bowed to them, and even the children who couldn't change back to human form lightly touched their heads to the ground.

Bai Wu jumped to the side, avoiding their big gift, hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No need, we're just trading, you also gave us grass seeds and leeks, it's fair."

Haifeng lightly touched his chest with his fist, "Wu, do you want us to pick the grass seeds back, or take you to the place where the grass grows?"

"Take us there directly, won't I come to your tribe to collect them in the future? Just show me where those grass seeds grow."

Hayate agreed.

Early the next morning, Haifeng gathered a large group of people with baskets on their backs, and took Baiwu and Nanyao to pick grass seeds.

They ran on the grassland for a long time, and finally came to a low and continuous hillside.

Gale turned back into a human form, "The kind of grass seeds that are not bitter grow on the mountain."

Bai Wu never thought that this thing actually grows on the mountain.

He stood where he was, looking at the low mountain in front of him.

There is a light layer of snow on the hillside.

The grass on the mountain was very tall, and by his visual estimation, it should be as tall as his thigh.

No wonder they couldn't find that grass seed!

Such deep grass, if they hadn't been brought by Gale, even if they flew over it, they wouldn't have thought that there were edible grass seeds underneath.

The concealment of this thing is too high.

Bai Wu sighed, guessing that God wanted them to spread the house construction technology.

Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to find a grass seed?

He looked at the spot for a while, then nodded towards Gale, "I remember this place, let's go up the mountain."

With a wave of his hand, Gaifeng asked his people to go up the mountain to pick grass seeds, and personally led them to a grass plant, and said to them: "This is the grass that can produce grass seeds that are not bitter."

Bai Wu took a closer look, and found that the grass in front of him was not much different from ordinary weeds. They all looked like gramineous plants, with slender leaves with sharp edges.

From the center of the grass grows a pole with thick, short tassels.

The grains of grass on the ears are thick, and the outer skin looks a bit thick.

The whole tassel was reddish-brown. He picked a grain, put it in his mouth and bit it lightly, and a sweet starchy smell permeated the tip of his tongue.

That's what it smells like.

Bai Wu's eyes lit up, knowing that she was absolutely right this time.

This is what he is looking for, even if the appearance is different, the taste is still the same, so you can't go wrong.

He stretched out his hand and stroked two, put them in his palm, and turned to Nanyao, "Taste it, this should be the wheat we are looking for."

Nan Yao took one from his palm, put it in his mouth and bit it, then nodded and said, "You can eat it."

Bai Wu asked Hai Feng, "Why haven't you eaten such a good thing before?"

"Don't think it's sweet, but when you eat it, it's a bit harsh, and none of us like it."

Gai Feng saw Bai Wu's heartbroken expression, stunned for a moment, and added: "And the particles are so small, it hurts to rub them. We don't like to eat them, so it's more convenient to eat meat."

Bai Wu patted himself on the head, and murmured: "Okay, I forgot, you are carnivores, no wonder you miss such a good thing."

Seeing him like this, Haifeng suspected that the family had missed something good, and asked in a low voice beside him, "Then how do you eat this thing?"

"Of course it is ground into powder, and then the powder is processed into various foods."

"Then don't you think it's very troublesome to pick it up?"

"I don't think that when the grass is dry, you can use stones to crush it, and the particles on it will be quickly pressed down, so you don't have to pick them one by one."

The two parties were already in a cooperative relationship, and Bai Wu didn't hide much.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Bai Wu simply cut a handful of wheat, put it on the ground, and showed him how to thresh it.

Gaifeng looked at it and said to him, "You are a man of great wisdom, the treasure bestowed to us by the Beast God."

Bai Wu waved his hands again and again, "Don't! Don't give me a high hat. You see, our lord priest is still behind. You only praise me. I'm afraid he will settle accounts behind his back."

Nan Yao pinched the back of his neck, signaling him not to be shy.

Most of the lions who came this time were sub-orcs. Their sub-orcs were very hardworking and their hands and feet were extremely fast. They picked half of the basket in a short time.

Gaifeng said: "You can take all the seeds we collected back later, our clan doesn't want them."

Bai Wu took a look and found that there were at least thirteen baskets.

With so much wheat, he would be happy to take it back, but he and Nanyao are just two people, and the journey is still so far away, even if he wants to take it back, he is powerless.

Bai Wu said: "Can we take some of them home first, and come get the rest next time?"

Gaifeng waved his hand, "There is no need for next time. I will send someone to help you transport it back to the edge of your territory. You can ask your people to help, and then transport it back."

Bai Wu didn't expect him to be so considerate, so she patted his arm, "Good brother, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not too hard." Gaifeng said, "We will never forget your help to us. You are welcome to visit us next time."

"You don't need to say, we will too. Don't forget, I have the right to gather and hunt in your territory." Bai Wu winked at him, "Maybe we will see each other more often in the future."

"That couldn't be better."

They plucked the wheat grains, and when they returned to the lion tribe, another team of people who had gone to dig leeks also came back.

The team that dug the leeks was also very honest. The leeks they dug crowded the baskets to the brim, and they dug a total of five large baskets.

In addition to the original two baskets of leek roots, Bai Wu feels that it is enough to use these leeks as firewood, let alone eat them.

Before leaving, Bai Wu hesitated, and still asked Haifeng, "Patriarch Haifeng, I want to exchange some accessories for your orcs, is that okay?"

"What jewelry?"

"It's the kind of black collar, and I also want the colorful headgear." Bai Wu said, "My brother likes all kinds of accessories very much, I want to change some for him."

Bai Wu has been living in the lion tribe for the past few days, but he mainly contacts the sub-orcs. The orcs seldom participate in their daily activities, and most of the time they go to patrol the territory.

Bai Wu wanted to find someone to exchange accessories for several times, but he didn't find a chance.

The orcs of the main lion tribe are too flamboyant, and Bai Wu doesn't feel bad when he meets the orcs of other tribes. When he gets closer to the lion tribe orcs, he will immediately realize that these people are actually of the opposite sex.

Bai Wu always felt that it was awkward to be of the opposite sex with elders.

Gale was very refreshing, and called to the children playing nearby, "Liangxian, go to Jiaohua Lake and get two black collars and five headgear."

The child agreed with an "awk", and quickly ran to get what Bai Wu wanted, and handed it directly to Bai Wu.

After handing over, the child bounced and ran away again.

Bai Wu's mood is far less calm than that of a child.

As soon as he took the heavy collar, he immediately felt something strange.

Why does this ring feel so cold to the touch like metal?
