Prehistoric Survival Records

Lige woke up from the cold. The temperature in the early spring night was still a little low. It was very hot when the sun was shining directly at noon. After the sun went down, the temperature dropped sharply with a small wind blowing. Only the important parts were covered with a pair of linen boxers The orcs woke up from the cold one after another, and ran back into the house shyly.

It is true that the warm wall is useless, and a small fire is set up, and the body temperature will come back after a little warming.

I haven't eaten since noon, and everyone's stomach is growling with hunger.

The few sheep that were frozen outside were eaten up before half of the winter, and several adult sheep and adult pigs were also killed. Now some of these pigs and sheep have cubs. It is not convenient to start.

Rigg heard that Charlie's stomach was ringing non-stop, so he wanted to take out a handful of jerky for him to fill his stomach first, but when he took out one, he picked up the two horns of the animal hide and shook it, only a few pieces of meat came out. Crumbs, dried meat is exhausted.

At this time, Chacha came back from the mushroom room with some oyster mushrooms, and Crewe also brought in a sack of potatoes and chestnuts.

Wiping the things in his hands and throwing them to the ground, he scratched his head and said, "The pig that was slaughtered yesterday has been eaten up. It's too dark now, and I can't tell the difference between male pig and female pig. If you catch a pregnant sow, you will be killed." It’s not good, this is the only food to eat tonight.”

Anyway, they were all able to eat, and the orcs didn't pick anything. They each took some things and went back to cook.

Lige also brought back a lot of chestnuts, potatoes and oyster mushrooms. Potatoes and oyster mushrooms were cooked in soup, and the chestnuts were buried in the fire. After a while, the aroma of the food came out. Potatoes and oyster mushrooms are used to eating in winter. The big bowl of Xili Hulu was half full, and then we chatted and ate chestnuts, and soon we were full.

While eating, Bu rubbed against Lige with a few chestnuts in his arms, and asked him, "Second treasure, we have lived too rich this winter, with only consumption and no output. I counted with my fingers just now. , We consumed several thousand catties of grain and more than 100 pigs and sheep in one winter, if we continue to maintain this consumption rate, the situation does not look good."

Rieg threw the peeled chestnut shells into the fire, and fed the chestnut meat into Charlie's mouth, then turned around and said to Libo: "Actually, I also want to discuss this with you in the morning," Rieg said carefully. : "Patriarch, how do you think our life has been going in these few months?"

"Life? Life is good." Bu replied without thinking.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Lige asked further: "I mean, Grandpa Bu, do you think it's good for us orcs to live like this all the time?"

"It's good to eat well and dress warmly. It's all thanks to the beast god." Bu replied quickly.

Rig:  …

Li Gesuo didn't go out of his way: "Grandpa Bu, I want to ask you, what do you think, we orcs will stop hunting for a living in the future, and concentrate on planting and animal husbandry, work from sunrise to sunset, whether male or female , everyone should stop spending energy on tracking prey and collecting wild fruits, but rely on our own hands to plant and rely on our own hands to harvest, what do you think?"

Boo: "Oh oh, I see what you mean, like we did this past winter?"

Rieger: "Yes, it's like this. Plant a grain of millet in the spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in the autumn. Our livestock will also give birth to cubs. As long as we continue to work like this, we will have endless food. Endless meat."

"Our warriors no longer have to work hard to track the traces of prey, and we don't have to risk hunting, and we females don't need to go out to collect those sour wild vegetables and fruits. Think about it, we are on our own land, You can grow inexhaustible food, and in your own pen, you can raise inexhaustible pigs and sheep. We orcs only need to do some daily work to ensure the normal growth of crops and livestock. We can use the time saved Come to build a tribe, educate the cubs, spend time with the family, or do something that makes life happier, isn't that a wonderful prospect?"

Bu’s eyes suddenly sparkled, as if following Rieg’s words, he saw a bright future in the description, and choked up, “Okay, of course it’s good.”

After running the train, Rieg tried again: "Then, since you have agreed, we will follow this plan?"

Bu was still thinking freely: "Ah, ah? Oh, oh, execute."

Rieger: Grandpa Bu, when did you become a repeater?

To be sure, he confirmed it again: "Then, I will arrange the spring plowing tomorrow?"

Bu finally came back to his senses, wiped away the water in his eyes, and patted Lige on the head: "Hey, Erbao, I trust you very much, I believe you will definitely lead our tribe to a better future Yes, if you have any ideas, just go ahead and do it, I am sure I am willing to support you, why are you talking to me and making detours."

Rigg bowed his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm not, mainly because I'm afraid of what you think. In case you think that orcs should be born to hunt, raising pigs and farming will make orcs lose their wildness, restrain their nature, etc. , isn’t it hard to say what I said.”

Bu tapped the tip of Lige's forehead: "You, you, really. Let me ask you, what is nature and what is wildness."

Seeing that Lige didn't answer, Bu continued: "I don't have much knowledge, but ever since the former patriarch handed over the tribe to me, the only thing I've been thinking about every day and night is only one idea, to make the people of the tribe live a full life." Dress warmly for a good day..."

Rigg listened intently.

"What is nature, wolves are born to eat deer, but you see how well Keshan and Dawa get along; what is wildness, we orcs evolved from wild beasts, if we really want to maintain a completely wild nature , we shouldn’t change into human form, you, Grandpa Bu, and I should also change back into a turtle and climb into the river to eat aquatic plants, do you think that’s the reason?”

"According to what you said, then we don't have to come out of the old people's land at all. Waiting for hundreds of years and waiting for everyone to die out naturally, that would be the most natural, right?"

Rigg: ...Yeah, that's right.

Bu finally said: "Perhaps smart people have a lot of strange ideas in their minds. You, Grandpa Bu, I am not smart, and most compatriots in our clan are not smart enough, but we are not stupid. For example, everyone has learned how to use fire. , but still eat raw meat, or obviously can concentrate on growing food, but also spend time collecting food that may not be collected in different places, the reason is to maintain their nature, do you think such a person is stupid."

Rieger was shocked by Bu's words.

"You are a cub, why do you think everyone in the tribe respects you and listens to you to give orders? Is it because you are the messenger of the beast god? Silly boy, if you think that way, you are the stupidest one. So I obey you and are willing to work with you because every move you take is aimed at making the tribe better and better, and this is the biggest reason why you, a little brat, can be domineering."

Bu caressed Lige's dog's head, and deeply felt that sometimes this child was clever and scary, and sometimes he was silly and cute.

Rieger: Nima, so I have been struggling with what, what kind of mess is afraid of intervening in the original ecology of orcs and making them lose their wildness? How did this magical brain circuit come into being? He stands alone on the giant The people of later generations who look at the world over their shoulders are not as good as a prehistoric orc in terms of understanding of this matter, and they have been educated, and the key education is quite correct. It's really... shameful enough.

By the way, Grandpa Bu, please don't say that you are ignorant. You are already looking at things from the perspective of development, which is obviously great insight.

A huge smile bloomed on Lige's face: "Grandpa Bu, you are so kind."

Cloth covered his heart: Damn, again——was hit by the cute department again.

After some enlightenment from Bu, Lige deeply felt that he was a little full and was supporting himself, so he drove out those ignorant thoughts from his head and concentrated on preparing for the spring plowing.

The so-called plan for a day lies in the morning, and the plan for a year lies in spring. Especially for the peasants who watch the harvest and eat, spring is really the most important day of the year.

Lige took an inventory of the inventory. After a winter of consumption, there are still [-] catties of potatoes left. Among them, some that will continue to be consumed in the future, the amount that can be used as seeds is only [-] to [-] catties, but this is not a problem. , Three to four hundred catties of potatoes, each potato can be planted with four or five buds, and at least a few tons of potatoes can be recovered in autumn.

Although wild ginger cannot be completely used as a staple food, meat accounts for a large proportion of the tribe's food composition. Now that seasonings are scarce, old ginger is the main force for removing fishy smell. Young ginger is also delicious when boiled in hot pot or soaked in salt water. It is not a problem to plant dozens of acres.

Under Lige's deliberate control, the consumption of soybeans this winter was not too large, a total of more than 100 catties was consumed. With the fighting power of the orcs in eating, they only consumed more than 200 catties of soybeans in one winter. How strict are the batches of soybeans?

It's not that Lige is stingy, the main reason is that soybeans can be used in too many places, such as soy milk, tofu, tofu skin, and all kinds of benefits. He is really reluctant to let such a precious soybean The big stomach king ate it, so he had to leave some more seeds. When the second batch of soybeans was harvested, they could eat whatever they liked, but this batch couldn't.

There is also chili, which is easy to handle. Lige himself has the idea of ​​a kind of chili, so when he eats chili every day, he deliberately asks the orcs to collect chili seeds and lose some chili seeds. After Cheng Duo, he has saved more than 100 catties of chili seeds, which are easy to grow, and can be harvested several times a year. It can be seen that the tribe will never lack chili peppers in the future.

As for chestnuts and acorns, there are still more than a thousand catties of chestnuts left, and more than half of the chestnuts will be fed to pigs, which will save more than a thousand catties. However, he does not need to plant chestnuts and acorns manually. Yes, it’s just a matter of time to pick it up every autumn.

There are more than 100 pigs and [-] to [-] sheep left. If the pregnant pigs and sheep are counted, the number of pigs will be doubled, and the number of sheep will be doubled at least.

In addition, there are bacteria that grow all year round in the bacteria room. After comparing the size, quality and growth rate, Lige finally selected shiitake mushrooms, Flammulina velutipes and Oyster mushrooms as the main breeding mushroom species, which can be harvested without saying a year A five or six hundred catty, right to reconcile the taste.

The above are all the remaining food reserves of their tribe after a winter of consumption.

Speaking of Lige, with these foods, I won’t be hungry, but there is nothing to show for it. I always stare at one or two things to eat, and there will always be a day when I get tired of eating. The ingredients are still too scarce.

Recalling that in his previous life, there were hundreds of vegetables on the counter in the supermarket, meat such as beef, sheep, fish and pigs, and thousands of snacks with different flavors. Although he was not a glutton in his previous life, he is now starting to Crazy miss those flavors.

Wandering in the sea of ​​delicacies for a while, when he came back to his senses, there were still those few things in front of him, Rieg forcefully popped the colorful bubbles in his head, let's face the reality.

But when I think about it, I feel a little worried, how many years will it take to find those familiar ingredients one by one if he only relies on his own experience to distinguish what to eat? , It’s also powerless, it would be great if we could exchange information with other tribes.

Thinking of this, Lige's eyes suddenly brightened, yes, there are other tribes, no matter how stupid the tribe is, they must be very familiar with the things on the land they live in, just find a few more tribes to exchange. The information of edible species, isn't the efficiency just mentioned?

As for where there are other tribes, I remember Nora said that the tribes of primitive humans exchanged goods all year round. In this case, it can be regarded as a distribution center on this continent. It is really necessary to go there. .

Thinking of this, Rigg naturally couldn't sit still, and immediately rode on Charlie to find Nora.

But Nora doesn't know much about the Sirang people. After all, they used to be very poor. They went there once a year or so, and what they exchanged was necessities like salt. They couldn't afford to exchange anything else. , so when the soldiers come back, they won't make a fuss about it, after all, they will cry if they talk too much.

In the dog tribe, there was only one dog who followed him once, but that was many years ago. At that time, because his tribe was poor, he rushed back after changing the salt in a hurry, and didn't bother to observe carefully. , plus the most stupid, can't tell why, but fortunately, he still remembers the specific location.

Once Rigg clapped his palms, he knew the way, and we'll wait until we get there.

However, although Lige had an idea and a guide, he was not in a hurry to take people away. He thought so. With their foot strength, it would take a month or two to go back and forth. If they set off now, they would wait until they came back. No matter how busy the spring plowing is, the day lily will be cold at that time.

It's better to hurry up and plant all the crops in this journey, and after finishing this work, I can go there with peace of mind.

Therefore, in the following time, in order to seize the time and busy with spring plowing, the orcs suffered.

The author has something to say: A short interview about why the orcs listen to Rigg so much—

Author: "Why do you listen to Rigg so much?"

Bu: "Rig is the most thoughtful kid I've ever seen, he can lead the tribe BALABALABALA"

Author: "Talk to the point."

Boo: "He looks too foul."

Chacha: "Erbao, he's so fierce, cute and fierce, don't dare to provoke him."

Keshan: "His decision-making is very decisive, and, don't you think he is a bit cute."

Females: "Of course it's because Erbao is cute."

Cubs: "The boss has a bad temper, we are afraid, and the boss is a little bit cute."

So, Lige, you can order and prohibit, maybe it's mainly because of your face?
