Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 34
Lu Wei entered the tent, carefully observed the look of the horns, and wondered how to speak. Finally, he started with a common topic: “Have you eaten the horns?”
Jiao sat on Lu Er’s wooden bed, his expression was a bit cold. After listening to Lu Er’s question, the lines on the handsome face were slightly softened: “Not yet.”
Lu Er thought for a while: “Then I will prepare something to eat.”
Considering that Jiao just came back, I don’t know how he tastes, Lu Ren did not make soybeans or millet, but chose a piece of meat to roast on the fire, and did not add extra scallions, **** and garlic to taste, and strive to give Jiao the most familiar experience.
But for some reason, Horn’s look seemed to get worse.
This made Lu Wei unable to figure it out, but he was a little happy: Does Jiao look like this, does it mean that he is not very satisfied with himself?
The two shared a piece of barbecue, and it was already a bit dark after eating.
Lu Er packed up the kitchen utensils, coughed, and looked at the corner: “Jiao, I think we can talk.”
If you look at the attitude of the corner tonight, you should have no liking for yourself, so if you break up now, maybe you can hit it off.
Across his dim sight, the expression on Horn’s face seemed a little stiff: “What are you talking about?”
“About the two of us…”
Before Lu Er finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiao: “It’s too late, I’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Unlike Lu Er’s imagination, Jiao appeared in front of Lu Er as a “horn” for the first time. He was far from being so calm in his heart. He even wondered whether this Asian beast had doubted his identity.
As soon as the words were spoken, Jiao seemed to feel that his tone was a bit too rough, and pursed his lower lip a little annoyedly. The corner of his eyes lightly swept over Lu Er. Seeing that Lu Er seemed not to be angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and added stiffly: ” Go to sleep first.”
There are almost no lighting tools in this world. At night, I can only rely on moonlight and sparks in the campfire. It is fine to look at the outline. It is really not appropriate to discuss things.
Lu Er thought for a while and nodded: “That’s good.”
When it comes to sleeping, there is a problem-Lu Er’s wooden bed can only sleep one person.
Looking at the corner, Lu Wei sat on the edge of the wooden bed naturally, thinking that the soft fur on the bed was left behind by the corner, and said generously: “You go to bed.”
The hidden meaning of this sentence made Jiao startled, and his brows wrinkled: “Where do you sleep?”
Lu Ling walked to the side of the tent, took out a piece of the other animal skins left by the horns he had trimmed, and replied, “I just sleep on the ground.”
Tomorrow, if he can “divorce” with Jiao smoothly, he can move out, please let them help set up a new tent. When the time comes, the wooden bed can be taken away by itself, and it will be one night now.
Jiao subconsciously glanced at the wooden bed he was sitting on, opened his mouth, and looked a little aggrieved under the darkness of the night.
——Don’t you sleep together?
——Obviously they were all together before!
After he returned to the tribe as a horn, other sub-beasts and orcs in the tribe did express their warmest welcome to him, and some of them cried with excitement;
But this Asian beast’s expression has always been very plain, as if there is no joy at all!
Obviously when he was a little kitten, he hugged and touched every day…
But now?
The intimacy is gone, there is only an ordinary barbecue for dinner, I didn’t talk to myself at all, and the long-awaited bed-sharing was gone!
Horn was a little wronged in his heart, and couldn’t help thinking: Could it be that he pinched the orc of the little stone tribe to death in front of this sub-beast, scaring him?
Although the sub-beasts in the tribe admire the toughness of the orcs, his sub-beasts are different after all.
——I knew I should send this Asian beast back first, and then go back to pinch the **** to death.
Thinking about it this way, Jiao felt full of pity for this fragile and kind Asian beast in his heart, and the expression on his face was much better.
His partner, who doesn’t care for him? Just give him some buffer time.
Thinking of this, Jiao stood up, walked to Lu Er, took the animal skin in his hand, and pointed to the bed: “You sleep there.”
Lu Er was a little unsure, so: “How about you?”
“…” Horn reluctantly shook the animal skin in his hand, “I sleep on the ground.”
“Why?” Lu Ne was a little strange. He watched the corner stab and sat on the bed, thinking that the corner liked the bed very much.
The horns pursed his lips, and found a suitable reason: “It’s too small.”
Lu Wei compared the height of almost 1.9 meters with his two-meter-long bed, thinking that young people like horns might not sleep very honestly, and accepted this statement.
The orcs are mostly simple in their minds, and they are basically not polite. Lu Yan has been in the countryside for half a year, and he has almost become accustomed to the straight-and-go character of the orcs. He didn’t feel that the horns are polite at the moment, and nodded: “Okay, then.”
He suffocated his horns, tensed the cold expression on his face, and watched Lu Ling eagerly as he climbed onto the bed. His slender waist was wrapped in the soft thin animal skin, and he turned a few times to find a comfortable posture, and he breathed quickly. It becomes smooth.
And he could only spread the animal skins in his hands on the ground and lay down on his back, even if he felt that the ground was cold and hard across a layer of animal skins, let alone the soft wooden bed of the beast, even “Xiao Mi “The cat litter is more comfortable than here.
Obviously, before he became a kitten, he would not feel any discomfort even if he slept directly on the ground. When hunting outside, he didn’t know how much he would encounter in the harsher environment.
Jiao couldn’t help turning around so that he could see the quiet figure on the bed.
For him, he could see everything in the tent from the faint light of the fire on the stove.
Lu Er’s sleeping posture, he had seen it many times when he was a mistress. He has been lying on his back, with both hands placed on his lower abdomen properly, and stayed motionless all night.
When Jiaoqian and Yong were out hunting, sometimes they would sleep outside when it was too late.
When you sleep outside, you have to take turns to watch the night. During the corner watch, you have also seen Yong and Lie when they sleep.
Yong would roll when he fell asleep, and often rolled on Lie’s body; Lie subconsciously pulled him in his arms and hugged him to sleep together; after a while, they looked again and they changed their positions.
Sometimes Horn dreams of hunting on the grassland, and when he wakes up, he will find that he has deviated from where he was when he fell asleep.
Horn blinked, looking at the Asian beast, who was motionless like an old tree once he fell asleep.
——How about you? Where are you from? Why is it that nothing can make you fluctuate, even your dreams are so regular?
If he hadn’t arrived in a hurry today, his Asian beast would have been taken away by the **** of the Xiaoshi tribe.
Thinking of this, a trace of regret appeared in Jiao’s heart: If only he hadn’t escaped a few days ago, it would be fine.
When he rushed over with a strange breath, it was when the **** snake took Lu Yan away.
Before he rushed over, did his Asian beast suffer and be wronged? As an orc, it is his shame to fail to protect his sub-beast!
That’s why he squeezed to death the reckless snake directly under his anger!
At that time, I was thinking about being able to prove myself in front of his Asian Beast, and prove that he could protect him… But he forgot that his Asian Beast was different from other Asian Beasts, and maybe he could not accept such a thing.
I hope that after sleeping, his Asian beast can regain the enthusiasm for him before…
Although he didn’t fall asleep with the fragrance of the Asian beast as he imagined, but in the same room with the Asian beast, Horn still felt the peace of mind that he hadn’t experienced in the past few days.
But this distance is still a little far away.
Horn sat up cautiously, walked cautiously under Lu Er’s bed, and lay down on the spot regardless of the animal skin, imagining the sweet life in the future, and fell asleep contentedly.
…
The next day, Lu Ling subconsciously touched the pillow when he got up, but still did not touch the familiar and warm kitten, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
It had been four or five days, and Lu Wei’s miss for Xiao Mi grew stronger and stronger. When he thought that his Xiao Mi might still be wandering and not eating enough to sleep well, he felt a trace of anxiety in his heart.
Rubbing his eyes and getting out of bed, Lu Ling stepped on a stiff body.
Looking down, the corner sleeping on the left side of the tent did not know when it rolled under his bed yesterday, and when he got out of the bed, he stepped on the corner of the leg.
Jiao seemed to wake up after being stepped on by Lu Er, and opened his wistful eyes to look at him.
Lu Er quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, I stepped on you.”
The corner expression seems to be nothing unhappy: “It’s okay.”
After getting up and washing every day, Lu Er just prepared to talk to Jiao tentatively about the relationship between the two of them. He heard some noise outside the tent. When he went out, he ran into an Asian beast in the pottery team and saw them in front of them. Liang: “The leader is back, green ears, horns, go and have a look!”
Teng Heyong rushed back all the way.
When the Little Stone Tribe attacked the Redwood Tribe, most of the orcs in the tribe went out to fight. One of the orcs who was a grey goose turned into a beast and flew directly to the direction where they were changing salt for help, halfway through the road. When he met Teng Heyong who had returned from a salt exchange, he informed them of the attack on the tribe.
Teng Heyong entrusted the wheelbarrow and the salt from the car to the orc named “Su”, and then the two changed back to beast forms and rushed back overnight.
When they made the worst plan to return, they found that the matter had been perfectly resolved-Jiao had returned safely.
This news was even more surprising than the tribe’s safety. He briefly asked about the tribe’s situation and found that although he was seriously injured and unable to get up, Lu Yan had arranged all kinds of things in an orderly manner, and the tribe had no major troubles.
This surprised and delighted Teng, and quickly came over to find both of them.
Kan Jiao and Lu Yan were both safe and sound. Teng completely relieved his heart and asked concerned: “Jiao, where have you been during this time?”
Lu Er also looked over curiously.
Jiao had prepared a speech, but at Lu Er’s gaze, his body stiffened slightly, and the expression on his face stretched, and he looked a little serious: “My leg was injured and it was difficult to move, so I found a place nearby to heal my injury. just came back.”
“It’s so serious, it will take half a year?” Teng looked a little worried, looked at Lu Er next to him, his eyes lit up, “You don’t know yet, Lu Er is already a witch doctor now, let him see it for you. .”
“No, it has been restored.”
Looking at the corner so surely, Teng relaxed, patted the corner on the shoulder, and said with emotion: “Then rest assured… You and Green Ear have a good time, you don’t know, everyone thinks you are dead, and Green Ear still refuses. Accept other orcs and keep saying that you are the only one!”
Lu Er: “…”
——Daddy, don’t mess with me, is it possible?
After listening to Teng’s words, Jiao’s tensed face eased, and he glanced at Lu Er next to him, and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I will treat him well.”
Hearing this, Lu Yan felt his eyes go dark: He still wanted to divorce the marriage quickly before Jiao knew what he had said in order to prevent trouble, because he was afraid that Jiao would have such a “responsible” mentality.
He doesn’t want and doesn’t need to be responsible for it, not to mention those “non-jun do not marry” words are for show.
It’s just that now Lu Er can’t say that directly, he can only look at Teng He Jiao there with some headaches, where Weng-in-law is harmonious.
Lu Er even regretted it a little. When he first changed his personality, he should change to the willful character of Huawei, so that even if he suddenly said “I don’t like horns anymore”, there would not be too many people doubting it.
Teng gratified and patted Jiao on the shoulder again, and took Jiao and Lu Ling to the tribe to learn more about the situation.
Lu Er just happened to show the wounds of the orcs who were injured yesterday, and went around with him.
First, I went to the tent that suffered the most injuries.
Lie refused to accept Ya Beast to take care of him yesterday. Today is still the same. Lu Er is helpless: “Lie, what are you worried about, your wound will open when you move it, and it will be very uncomfortable if no one takes care of you.”
Teng opened the tent and came in: “Is Lie awkward again?”
The gray wolf lying on the ground saw Teng, his lead-gray eyes lit up, his ears stood up, and his mouth made a “whoop” sound.
Teng seemed to know Lie very well, so he patted the uninjured position of the gray wolf comfortably: “Yong is back too, I will let Yong take care of you.”
The gray wolf made a submissive “whoop” in his throat, and the wolf’s tail swayed slightly, indicating his consent.
Except for Lie who suffered more severe injuries, he was a gray mongoose Kang. Kang is a snake nemesis. He is not afraid of snake venom. On the contrary, he was targeted by the orcs of the Xiaoshi tribe and even got a broken leg.
Lu Er helped him on the splint yesterday. Ya Beast, who had pursued Kang but was scared away by the snake, volunteered to take care of Kang. He changed the medicine and fed him every day. The scene was so happy that he was praised by Lu Ling.
Coming out of Kang’s tent, Lu Lin happened to see Jiao talking to Huawei’s mother.
The middle-aged Asian beast asked with a worried look: “Have you not come back with Horn and Huawei?”
Jiao raised his head and glanced at Lu Er, and replied without hesitation: “He refuses to come back.”
Huawei’s father was taken aback: “Why?”
“He said he couldn’t stay in the tribe, it’s better to go to the Xiaoshi tribe.” Without blinking, he spoke very calmly. Not to mention Huawei’s father, even Lu Yan almost believed it.
Huawei’s father thought that there was no need for Kok to lie, and accepted the result with a sigh.
——Even if Flower Tail is gone, he still has two cubs to raise.
Lu Er looked at Jiao Sanyu dismissed the flower-tailed Mu’s father and raised his eyebrows slightly: This horn… doesn’t seem to be the same as ordinary orcs?
…
Although the invasion of the Xiaoshi tribe was very thrilling, and the orcs suffered large and small injuries, no one was killed. Lu Yan was also rescued by the miraculous return horn, and there was no depression on everyone’s face.
But there is still a troublesome problem.
Most of the orcs in the Redwood tribe were injured, and only three or five were able to fight. The entire tribe suddenly cut off its food source.
The prey in the warm season was released soon, so every household didn’t save much meat, and it would be eaten after almost one or two days.
Fortunately, there are a lot of soybeans that I put away not long ago, and they can last a while.
The first people who planted with Lu Ling, the sweet white root vegetables in their small vegetable garden, also harvested two crops of soybeans; those who did not trust that Lu Ling did not plant soybeans at first, were forced to start reluctantly. The orcs who farmed regretted that they did not.
Compared with the most primitive hunter-gatherers, the biggest advantage of agricultural harvest is actually stable.
Harvesting two or three crops a year can deal with this kind of accident.
Now the orcs in the tribe are completely healthy, only Teng, Jiao, Yong, and the speed of pushing back the cart full of salt with difficulty on the third day.
Speed’s combat effectiveness basically cannot be counted on. The other three healthy orcs decided to take turns to go out hunting, leave one behind, and try to catch as many prey as possible.
On the side of the Asian beast, Lu Lin simply gathered all the Asian beasts together, and said with a serious expression: “Now the orcs in the tribe cannot hunt, and they need to heal their injuries and supplement their food. Have you ever thought about what to do?”
The Asian beasts looked at each other, and one of the Asian beasts said timidly: “The leader and the horn can hunt, right?”
Other Asian beasts also responded.
Teng He Jiao has always been the two undefeated pillars of the Redwood Tribe. Any accidents that occurred before, it was them that supported the tribe not to collapse.
“They are only two or three people. Are there enough food? What if they are also injured?” Lu Yan knew that the concepts of these sub-beasts were muddled and unformed, and patiently followed the temptation. “We have hands and feet, can we just stand here? ?”
“We can go out and collect fruit every day…”
“How many fruits are left near the tribe?”
The Asian beasts thought about it, their faces were a little pale and they stopped talking.
The safe area near the tribe is just this big. After entering the warm season for so long, most of the fruits that can be collected have been collected, and there is not much left.
“In addition to collecting, we have a lot of things we can do.” Looking at their faces with anxious and confused expressions, Lu Ren knew that they already knew the urgency of the current situation and looked upright, “I have here. Some suggestions, depending on your willingness.”
Lu Er’s suggestion is simple:
First, the farming work in the fields must not be wasteful. The corn has just been sown and needs patient care. Watering, fertilizing and weeding must be followed up from time to time. The growth of these corns determines whether they can have sufficient food in the dry season after the warm season.
Second, the injured orcs need food, and they should make digestion as easy as possible. Soybeans stored at home now, and the prey they hunted by the horns in the future, should be carefully prepared for mature food.
Third, although there is not much food in the vicinity of the tribe, it is better to collect as much food as possible-but your eyes should not be limited to the tree fruits. There are many foods that even the Asian beasts can obtain through skills or tools, like the mang belt. With two or three Asian beasts, he brought back a large piece of sweet honey.
Many of these tasks were taken over by the orcs in the past, but now they fall on the weak sub-beasts, making them hesitate.
In the previous production model of the Redwood Tribe, the Asian beasts were only responsible for some leftovers. Even if Lu Er brought the planting, the main farm work was undertaken by the orcs, and the Asian beasts were asked to help them only when they were too busy.
Now the orcs are all paralyzed and unable to move, if the Asian beasts take over their work, the amount of labor may increase more than ten times.
Lu Er didn’t urge them, he waited quietly for their answers after saying his suggestions.
People can only save those who are willing to save themselves.
Lu Lin can let go of his spiritual water ring without hesitation, the spiritual water is full of energy, and it is no problem to supply the injured orcs to restore their hunting ability.
But he would not do it.
Having been in this world for half a year, he has gradually figured out the characteristics of the social structure of the orc world, at least the Redwood Tribe.
Most of the life pressure is basically on the orcs. Because of their fragile bodies, the Asian beasts basically only bear the obligation to bear children. They are bound by the most basic rules of the tribe, and everything else is left unchecked.
Orcs will raise their own sub-beasts and cubs, and even if they don’t do anything, they can still get food from the tribe that they will not be starved to death.
The same goes for some orcs who are not very good at hunting.
When there is a real shortage of food, the first to be given up is the poor old orcs and the old Asian beasts. Young people hardly need to worry about starving to death.
This also led to unconscious laziness, greed, jealousy and other emotions brewing among many idle and ignorant Asian beasts and orcs, and eventually people like flower tails were born, leading to tragedies like green ears.
Lu Er always felt that if he could not sweat and fight hard for the sake of life, he would not have the love for life.
So when he promoted planting, he always wanted to close the gap between different orcs, between orcs and sub-beasts, so that everyone could participate in the construction and development of the tribe.
Labor unlocks human intelligence.
But Lu Er is not the relatives of the Redwood tribe, he can’t always lead them forward, they need to understand that they want to move forward, Lu Er can guide them to the soil of civilization.
If these ignorant Asian beasts and simple beasts were only willing to stay in the primitive and ignorant quagmire, Lu Yan would not force it.
The Redwood Tribe needs to rely on its own efforts to embark on a better path.
The long silence lingers among the Asian beasts. They remembered the ease when they didn’t need to worry about food too much. They also remembered the hard work of building toilets, burning pottery, and farming after Lu Yan became a tribal witch doctor. , Sometimes the hands will be rubbed with blisters, and it hurts and itch when touched.
When they couldn’t bear the pain of work at first, they once scolded Lu Er in their hearts when they were tossing and turning in the middle of the night, and they also complained about why the orcs in the family didn’t do more work, and they still had to work hard.
If they accept Lu Er’s suggestion, they will work harder in the future, and many of the hard work undertaken by the orcs will fall on their shoulders.
If you don’t accept it, maybe there won’t be a big problem-Teng He Jiao is very strong. They are the pride of the Redwood Tribe. They can catch a lot of prey and feed the entire tribe. They only need to take care of the orcs in the family… …
On one side is the easy and sure path, on the other side is the hard and unexpected possibility.
If it was six months ago, they would not hesitate to choose to go home and wait for them to hunt to distribute food, right?
–but……
Baixu remembered the surprise when the white root vegetables that he planted by himself sprouted;
Zitong remembered his pride when he grabbed the orcs secretly urinating in the bushes and pulled him to the toilet they built;
Both ears remembered the joy when a not so round ceramic bowl was born in their own hands;
There are also some Asian beasts who think of their secret envy and admiration for Lu Er being able to support himself and others by himself;
There are more Asian beasts, thinking of the puffy and crispy feeling that pops up from the bottom of their hearts when the yellow and orange beans are poured into the grass basket, which makes them almost forget the blisters that are ground in their palms when weeding and sowing. Pain, each other can see sweet smiles on the faces of the companions on the threshing floor, which are different from their previous smiles, even if they eat the most delicious prey, find the most delicate flowers and shells, there is no such moment. Make them feel…
Satisfy.
The Asian beasts bit their lower lip, and their previously ignorant and confused eyes slowly became firmer.
Lu Er smiled slightly: “Then let’s assign a job.”
