Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 53
After a long journey for more than a month, the Redwood tribe’s motorcade finally reached their destination safely and completely.
The terrain is the same as the scene that the angle described to them at the beginning. Next to the vast plain is a huge lake, and there is a long and steady river in the distance. Although it was the closest to the divine punishment among the three locations, the cool breeze and the luxuriant foliage seemed to be completely unaffected by the divine punishment.
Looking at the sparkling lake and the endless plain, everyone stopped in surprise, looked around, and squeezed each other’s hands.
After running for more than a month, this is their new home.
Lu Ling stopped, knelt down and twisted a handful of soil, and took it to his nose and smelled it briefly.
Judging from the texture and smell of the soil, the land here is quite fertile, many times stronger than the acid red soil before the Redwood Tribe.
With this level of soil, it is much easier to transform it into fertile land, and the yield per mu of planting grain will be higher.
The congenital conditions of the land before the Redwood Tribe were too bad, and it would take many years of transformation to truly become a fertile land.
Next to it is a lake with a live water source, the overall terrain is flat, the soil quality is excellent, and there are trees and shrubs in the distance.
Lu Ren was very satisfied with the natural environment here, and gently scratched Mi’s chin: “The location is good.”
Xiao Mi looked up at him faintly.
The little kitten did not miss the surprise and satisfaction on Lu Er’s face just now, which was exactly the same as the expression he had expected at the beginning.
However, it itself now does not expect to have a further relationship with it because of its efforts.
——It would be nice to relax the delicate relationship between them.
The relationship between one person and one cat is a bit weird now.
After first discovering that Xiao Mi and Jiao were the same person, Lu Yan had a lot of emotions brewing in his heart, and he was rarely at a loss;
Later, Xiao Mi pitifully acted like a coquettish and cute, Shui Lingling looked at him with big eyes, and he began to lose his temper without knowing it.
Even though he knew that Mi’s body lived in an adult orc with a sense of mind, and being so cute and cute was also deliberately begging for mercy, but Lu Yan couldn’t bring up an angry heart to such a soft and cute little kitten.
Therefore, after migrating all the way, Lu Er and Xiao Mi regained some intimacy.
It’s just that Lu Er still cares about the horns that have “unscrupulous hearts” for him. The soft and warm belly that he has wanted to touch many times before is deliberately avoided this time, only licking Mi’s head, back, and tail.
Mi was still hesitating: if Lu Yi wanted to touch his furry belly, would he sacrifice the last trace of dignity and let him play with it?
But Lu Er obviously made it feel crisis in order to avoid its key parts.
——Does its sub beast love it enough?
Dignity was easily forgotten, Xiao Mi kept showing her hairy belly every day to attract Lu Jinlai.
…
After arriving at the new home, after the initial excitement period, Tengxian ordered the most elite orcs to go to this place to investigate whether there were dangerous beasts.
Although Kakuno once said that he had cleaned up the powerful beasts nearby when he came to search for the location, after all, a few months have passed, and there may be new crisis factors appearing.
The Asian beasts gathered next to Lu Nei subconsciously and asked Lu Nei’s next move.
If it was before, they would definitely have set up camp now; but the building called “House” that Lu Ling showed them before he moved has attracted their attention.
Zitong asked with concern: “Green Ear, what are we doing now, setting up a tent or starting to build a courtyard?”
They can’t wait to live in the courtyard.
Lu Er was a little helpless: “Set up a tent first, it is very slow to build a house.”
“Okay, let’s set up the tent first, and you can tell us when we need to work.” Zitong asked with some disappointment.
Because Jiao suffered “unfortunate”, Teng Hemang took the initiative to help Lu Er set up the tent, not let him do it himself, let Lu Er go and relax.
Lu Wen couldn’t help them, so he had to hug his cat and wander around, just to look at the vegetation nearby.
Walking by the lake, watching the **** brothers swimming in the water to check for underwater dangers, Lu Lin began to think about the tribe’s next plan.
On the way to relocating, Lu Er had already worked out a rough plan in his heart.
He originally planned to live in a tent for the time being, open up the land and plant the grain first.
But when he came to this practical point of almost perfect farming civilization, Lu Ne planned to adjust it.
The food carried on the convoy is based on the longest consumption-that is, the weight of the three places to settle down.
In fact, because the orcs can hunt half of their time, the rations they carry can at least last until the end of the year.
At present, sweet potatoes are still in the third and fourth generations of Lingshui breeding. The growth cycle is short. If they are promoted on a large scale, they can be harvested before the cold season arrives.
The quality of the soil here is good. After simple slash-and-burn cultivation, a crop of sweet potatoes is enough.
Calculating this way, for the remaining six months of this year, the main energy of the tribe can actually be placed on construction rather than planting.
Because many Asian beasts were pregnant with cubs in the last cold season, most of them now have large stomachs.
Carefully, Lu Er began to think about building a house.
There is no cement in this world, and he doesn’t know how to make cement. Only the earthen houses in the countryside can be considered for house construction.
The climate in this area is more temperate, and the wind and rain are not very violent. The strength of the adobe houses is much stronger than that of the tents, and should be enough to shelter the orcs from wind and rain.
When Lu Er was studying the history of agricultural development, he learned about the process of building brick houses, but the details have to be worked out slowly.
Burning clay bricks need suitable clay, mixing, and brick kiln;
To build a house, we need to dig foundations, build beams, burn tiles…
——There are many things to consider.
Lu Er thought for a while, and looked back for a few relatively leisurely Asian beasts, and asked them to find clay that could be used to burn clay bricks with him.
In addition, I found a few strong orcs first to find a place to dig the pit for mixing the clay, and to find the “woodworker” to make more molds of the clay brick embryos, and finally the remaining people went to trim the brick kiln.
Building houses is a major event for the entire tribe, and of course the entire tribe must be mobilized together.
Brick kilns and pottery kilns are similar in nature. In the past year, in order to improve the temperature and stability of the pottery kiln, Lu Er brought the pottery group to do many renovations. This time, he can use his old experience to build a brick kiln for burning clay bricks.
The current “group leader” of the pottery burning group is Feng’s Asian beast ears. He is steady and serious. After Lu Er explained the problems related to the pottery kiln to him, he patiently wrote them down one by one.
“You plan to build the brick kiln yourself. If you don’t understand, you can ask me.” Lu Er emphasized at last, “Try to adjust the manpower and soil needed in the middle.”
He hesitated in both ears, and tugged at the grass rattan skirt on his body a little nervously: “This… Am I doing well?”
“If you don’t do it well, you have to do it.” Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder, “I don’t understand, let’s explore together.”
Lu Wei had begun to realize a while ago that the Asian beasts of the Redwood tribe seemed to have a blind obedience to him.
I think he is right no matter what, no matter what problem he can solve…
It feels good to be respected, but Lu Lin pulled the Asian beasts and the beasts out of the quagmire of ignorance, not to domesticate them and become fanatics who only know what to say.
Before absorbing a group of guards into the tribe, the Hongmu tribe did not have many tools that should have appeared with the emergence of farming.
Orcs and Asian beasts need independent thinking ability and try to solve problems.
This time he burned bricks to build a house, Lu Er clearly stated his attitude: “The construction of an adobe brick house requires everyone to work together. I only came up with a general direction and plan. How to achieve it depends on your own research.”
What made Lu Er gratified was that the orcs and Asian beasts did not show any disappointment while surprised, but a few people were a little ashamed and felt that they were dragging Lu Er.
The prospect of the quadrangle is so good. Everyone is full of enthusiasm. They put up a simple tent and started to study the modules they are responsible for.
The orcs injured in the tide of beasts to withstand the pressure of the wild beasts are not idle either. The tribe’s migration did not bring extra baskets. During the healing period, they used dried rattan to make large and small baskets or back baskets for other people to carry mud or sand.
As for Lu Er, he originally wanted to participate in the more critical clay preparation work, but was dissuaded by Teng.
Because of the past, Teng was very worried about his mental state and advised him to take more rest and relax. He also sent him Xiao Xiong Mang and Xiao Hu Li Li, who had played best with Lu Lin before.
The two cubs have grown up a lot, but they still love to be with Lu Er, and Lu Er slaps him up.
Xiao Mi lay on Lu Er’s shoulder, and after listening to Teng’s suggestion, the fur on her body was about to explode.
——At this critical time, how can you let those two little “rivals” come in? !
Lu Er glanced at the kitten cub outside, with a smile in his eyes: “No, let them do more for the tribe. I just want to play with Mi.”
The refusal of Mang Heli’s company is not because of Xiao Mi’s mood, but Lu Ning has something to talk with Xiao Mi.
They have been away from each other for so long, and now they finally have the kung fu to be alone, so it’s time to talk a little bit.
The lake here is very clear, and there are many strange plants growing on the ground by the lake, and there are some thorns hidden behind the green leaves.
Holding the kitten and walking along the lakeside, Lu Wei was scratched on his leg several times, and reluctantly found a clean place to sit down, while helping Xiao Mi run along the fur, while looking out at the calm lake, after a while Then he lowered his head and sighed silently, and said, “Mi, you should know that I am not green ears?”
This is the first time he has clearly talked about this topic.
Xiao Mi raised her head and made a slight “wool” sound.
“I didn’t take the initiative to occupy Lu Er’s body.” Lu Ling found a place to sit down, put Mi on his lap, and looked at it calmly. “When I walked through, he was already dead.”
This is the first thing he wants to clarify.
Xiao Mi looked up at him, and gently stretched out a small paw on his hand.
——This point does not need to be explained by Lu Er. It has been with Lu Er for so long and fully understands Lu Er’s character and bottom line.
Feeling the kitty’s understanding, Lu Er smiled slightly, then reduced his smile, and looked solemnly: “I am not a person in your world, but I guarantee that I have no malice against you-agriculture is important to the development of the tribe. I believe you understand the benefits, otherwise you will not always support me.”
Mi was still motionless, tilted her head slightly, her eyes a little confused.
“I’m in my world, and your’orc’ role is almost the same-so, I may not be able to accept partnering with an orc.” Lu Ling touched Xiao Mi’s head earnestly, his voice lightened a lot. “What’s more, we all have our own secrets. We are not people of the same world…Do you understand what I mean?”
Although Lu Er spoke very firmly, his hand was slightly clenched, and there was a pause when he spoke.
It seemed that he himself was a little unsure.
Xiao Mi looked up at him, Lu Ling lowered her head and looked at Xiao Mi’s beautiful eyes like a piece of emerald for a while, and suddenly felt the little cat leaping forward, and the soft cat’s mouth gently pressed. On his lips, it came off instantly.
Then the kitten cub jumped off Lu Ling’s knee, turned his head and ran without looking back.
Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to stop him, his voice stuck in his throat before he reached out his hand.
After a long silence, Lu Yan took a breath and stood still, his face a little gloomy.
——If Kok can understand what he means and draw a clear line with him from now on, isn’t it achieving his goal?
——Why still can’t be happy?
Lu Wei stood up, patted the sticks of grass on his body, and walked silently by the lake, trying to ignore the strange feeling in his heart, trying to focus on the business.
Judging from Lu Er’s understanding of the horn, the horn is by no means an ungrateful person who will avenge his gratitude. It is also common for the orcs to fail in pursuing the sub-beast. Presumably, the horn will not become angry because of his rejection.
Originally, Lu Er planned to briefly explain his future plans with Xiao Mi-he still has many crystallizations of human civilization, such as words, weights and measures, etc., but he was worried that these things would be too prominent and would expose his identity.
No matter how powerful a witch doctor is, it is impossible to create a complete set of characters with complete grammar and norms alone.
Cangjie’s characters were created many years after the appearance of hieroglyphs, and on the basis of predecessors, they created very few characters at the beginning.
Since Horn already knew his identity, Lu Lin wanted to ask from Horn’s perspective, what is the upper limit that the orcs can accept.
Unfortunately, Mi just ran away.
Lu Ling stopped beside a thick wood that looked like a willow tree by the lake and sighed softly.
Jiao is really a good roommate and friend.
I hope he can figure it out soon.
I was still thinking about things in my heart, suddenly the lake in front of me separated, and a behemoth came out with a “crash”.
Lu Ling subconsciously raised the crossbow around his waist and wanted to shoot. The behemoth suddenly turned into an orc, and hurriedly shouted: “Green ears, don’t, don’t! I’m the truth!”
Lu Wei was stunned, then put down the crossbow that was about to shoot out: “What are you doing here?”
“I’m patrolling in the water, and I will come and have a look when I see you walking here.” He breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the crossbow with some trepidation.
He also knew the power of this small weapon during the migration, and many Asian beasts easily shot many ferocious beasts with it.
Even though his beast-shaped rhino skin is thick and thick, it still hurts for a while.
“Green Ear, what are you doing here?”
“take a walk.”
Standing in place, scratching his head, hesitated for a long time, and finally stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said: “Green ears, horns… Don’t be too sad.”
Knowing that everyone in the tribe now thinks that he is heartbroken, and he is too lazy to explain, he just nodded: “Okay.”
I thought that Shi just came over to comfort me, but I did not expect Shi to straighten his chest behind him, smashed his shoulder with a fist, and stared at Lu Er earnestly: “Green Ear, I can take care of you!”
Lu Er was surprised for a while, then suddenly let out a laugh: “Actually, why do you suddenly have this idea?”
Really hesitated for a while, a little uneasy: “Uh, don’t you like me like this?”
He had failed in pursuing the Asian beasts of the Redwood tribe, and he was a bit frustrated; after the death of Jiao, he saw Lu Er’s “sad and sad” appearance, and did not know why he developed a strong desire for protection, so he confessed directly on the impulse.
Lu Er could tell at a glance that the guy in front of him was the same as the orcs who pursued the Asian Beasts in the previous warm season, but he had a simple affection for himself, which was far from his true love.
But he was not interested in giving practical emotional enlightenment classes, and he didn’t even want to take out his usual rhetoric: “Sorry, I don’t want anyone except the angle.”
As soon as the words were spoken, there was really no response, and Lu Yan was stunned for the first time.
——He hasn’t said this reason for a long time.
The last time I said that when the horn hadn’t returned last year and I was still holding the kitten, I used this reason to block many orcs from pursuing.
At that time, I thought that the horn was dead, so I pulled this shield with peace of mind; now I know clearly that the horn is safe and sound, why subconsciously still use this reason?
With all kinds of thoughts entangled in his head, the first thought that came up turned out to be: Fortunately, Mi ran away, otherwise he knew it, and didn’t know how to misunderstand him…
The front heel was clear and said that it was unacceptable, and the back foot was used as a shield to reject other orcs.
Lu Ye felt a bit **** after thinking about it.
——Let’s change the reason later…
I really didn’t realize Lu Er’s complicated mood. He was only a little depressed, and a little unwilling to ask: “But if you don’t find an orc, how do you give birth to cubs?”
This question has also been asked many times before. The standard answer blurted out subconsciously: “I only have horned cubs.”
If it weren’t for standing in front of him, Lu Ye would really like to use the cold lake water to refresh himself.
——What did you think of just now?
Seeing that Lu Er’s attitude was very determined, he collapsed his shoulders in frustration and said goodbye dejectedly, before returning to the water to continue patrolling.
It has been so long since I joined the Redwood Tribe, and I am eager to find my favorite Asian animal to start a family.
The Asian beasts of the Redwood tribe all have a confident smile on their faces. They are very different from the Asian beasts of other tribes. They go out to work with great energy every day, and they are also very calm and generous with the orcs.
I really like this feeling, but I don’t know if it’s bad luck, so far no Asian beast is willing to accept him.
——Now Lu Er also refuses herself decisively…Will she be single in the future?
Before entering the water, he couldn’t help but glanced back at Lu Er, and found that Lu Er was still standing there, looking at him from a distance, his expression was even more trance than himself.
…
After walking around the lake, with his head full of mixed thoughts, Lu Wei decided to return to work and let the labor expel the distractions in his heart.
He wasn’t really fine to do, he had to decide the geographical plan of the new tribe.
The tents in the tribe have been set up, but they are not the spacious and stable large tents before, and are similar to their temporary tents on the migration road.
Everyone wants to move into the courtyard as soon as possible, and is not willing to waste too much energy in other places.
A large piece of flat land was reserved for the tribe’s construction of a courtyard house. Now someone has dug away shrubs, tree roots, and large stones according to Lu Er’s previous instructions to prepare for the foundation.
Up to now, there are about one to two hundred people and sixty families of orcs following the Redwood tribe’s convoy.
It is wasteful and unrealistic to build a quadrangle courtyard for each household. The ideal situation is that three or four families share a quadrangle courtyard.
In this case, twenty sets of courtyard houses can accommodate all the families in the tribe.
The buildings in the tribe definitely need more than the courtyard house, the threshing grounds that existed in the tribe before, and the martial arts grounds used for special training of orcs…
In the foreseeable future, the size of the tribe will become larger and larger, and at the same time, the scalability of the tribe must be considered.
This is the first time that Lu Er has carried out “urban planning”. Without the guidance of theoretical knowledge, he can only rely on the planning of villages and towns he has seen when he has been to towns and rural areas.
There is no pen and paper in this world, and Lu Er can only make a simple plan on the sand first, and then use charcoal to paint on the animal skins when it is determined.
After painting for a while, Lu Ren was a little dissatisfied with the result. When he was about to brush it off and repaint, a fluffy kitten stepped on the sand, leaving a plum-like paw print.
Lu Ling raised his head, saw Xiao Mi, was stunned: “Xiao Mi is back?”
The kitty’s face was very serious at the moment. Although the furry cat’s head looked a bit naive, the look in his eyes was serious.
Lu Er felt that Xiao Mi seemed to have something important to tell him, put down the wooden stick in his hand, and his face was straightened a lot: “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Mi shook her tail, suddenly jumped onto Lu Wei’s shoulder, raised a paw, and her sharp nails suddenly appeared, and she cut it down with a “chuck”!
A deep wound was exposed on the kitten’s other paw, and bright red blood suddenly overflowed.
Lu Er was taken aback, and quickly hugged Xiao Mi: “What are you doing?!”
He quickly turned his head and prepared to go to his tent to find a herb to stop the bleeding, but the little cat called to stop him.
Xiao Mi stretched her bleeding paw to Lu Er’s mouth and scratched it lightly.
Lu Er frowned and asked tentatively, “Open your mouth?”
Mi nodded, her green eyes were serious.
Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth slightly in the belief of Mi.
Xiao Mi shook her bleeding paw and threw a few drops of fresh blood into Lu Ling’s mouth.
When Xiao Mi asked him to open his mouth, Lu Wei guessed that Xiao Mi might want to taste his blood, but he didn’t know the reason.
The entrance of cat blood didn’t have the **** smell that Lu Er imagined, but it was slightly sweet, like some kind of juice.
Normal blood will certainly not taste like this.
Lu Er hadn’t thought of the reason yet, but suddenly felt a flow of heat rising from his lower abdomen, covering his limbs and corpses in an instant, and his whole person instantly became more energetic.
This feeling is a bit similar to drinking spiritual water, but it is stronger than spiritual water.
After drinking the Lingshui, I can only feel that it is purely replenishing energy, which is almost the same as eating a full meal; but the few drops of cat blood from Xiao Mi gave Lu Ling a feeling of eliminating exhaustion and replenishing a lot of vitality. .
His calf felt a little itchy, and when he took a closer look, he found that the wound left by his previous injury had crusted and fell off in the shortest time, and it was completely new.
Lu Er’s eyes revealed unconcealed shock, and he lowered his head to look at Xiao Mi.
The kitty cub lowered his head and was licking his wound. He felt Lu Er’s gaze, raised his head and glanced at him, then let out a soft “M” sound.
Lu Er suddenly understood what Xiao Mi meant.
He said before that the two of them have their own secrets, and maintaining mutual respect and space is the best choice;
Obviously, Mi didn’t think so, it showed itself to him.
It wants to exchange secrets with him.
