Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 82

When the old sacrifice was still tangled, time passed, and soon the cold season would come completely.

The Redwood Tribe’s winter preparations are very complete this year. The orcs who joined the Redwood Tribe for the first time were still a little skeptical about the Redwood Tribe’s past reputation. Now they are looking at the warm and hot Kang, the warehouse full of grain, and the bacon sausage hanging under the eaves. , And become very at ease.

From the beginning of the pre-cold season, they would worry about counting the food they had saved at the end of the warm season in their tents, and figuring out how much to eat each day to survive the long, desperate cold;

And now, the food harvested in the farmland and the fat pigs in the pigpen make them have no doubt that even if they eat with their stomachs open, these foods are enough to support their whole family to live happily until the end of the cold season next year.

In the cold season, they don’t need to look at the sky and think about when to go out to hunt a little bit of poor prey. They just need to burn the kang, study how three meals a day change, and then go to Lu Er’s class and learn words. And arithmetic…

This is really the coldest season they have had the most comfort.

The tribe was fine, and what worries Lu Ye was that they still didn’t find out about Zitong until the cold season officially arrived.

This is undoubtedly the worst case.

No matter how sacred the orcs who took Zitong are, they are not kind to the Redwood tribe; will such a person waste food for Zitong and let him pass the cold season during the cold season when there is generally not enough food?

This possibility made Lu Er very worried, and it made the Asian beast who raised Zitong even more heartbroken.

…

Zitong, who was worried by relatives and friends in the Redwood Tribe, also missed them.

However, unlike the difficult conditions Lu Lin and the others imagined, Zitong was sitting by the warm bonfire with a thick layer of animal skin on the outside, and there was a wild animal’s hoof roasting on the bonfire, and it was irritating. Oily fragrance.

Not long after, the curtain of the tent opened, and Ao walked in with a struggling wild bird, and saw Zitong staring at the campfire in a daze. He was taken aback, and said with a smile: “Ziping, let me bring you What’s up?”

Zitong glanced at him weakly.

Since he was brought to this tribe, this Ao has been very diligent in helping him prepare a tent, and he has also brought food over every day…

The intention is too obvious.

Three years ago, Zitong was pursued by such a tall and handsome orc, and he would definitely hang on for a while and then quickly agree to it; now Zitong is fascinated by Lu Er, and has subconsciously regarded Lu Er as his own. Mate selection criteria.

Smart, gentle, calm…

This Ao, don’t touch it at all!

Zitong sighed and rubbed his face: “Thank you, Ao, but I haven’t finished the meat before, so I don’t have to give me so much.”

Ao touched his head in distress, thought about it, and said, “Do you want to go out to play?”

“It’s too cold to go out now.”

“I can prepare sackcloth for you.”

Zitong was taken aback: “What is that?”

It’s rare to see what Zitong is interested in, and Ao suddenly became excited: “There is a plant near our tribe, which can be woven into soft linen and made into clothes. It is very comfortable to wear.”

Zitong was originally interested in the “linen” that Ao said, but looking at Ao’s fiery eyes, the “OK” in his mouth was held back.

Except for his face, this Ao’s head is stupid, completely inconsistent with his own preferences…

Thinking about it this way, Zi Tong lacked interest again, shook his head to express rejection, and sat in a daze by the campfire.

Ao scratched his head, a little at a loss.

In the tribe, because of his distinguished status, strong strength, and handsome appearance, he has always been popular with the Asian beasts; but he has a high vision and has always been single.

When picking up the people who were left out this time, the two orcs who robbed Zitong confessed that they noticed him when they saw Zitong dance, and said that Zitong had species and other sub-beasts on her body. a different feeling.

Ao originally didn’t take it seriously—the sub-beasts who came out of those small tribes with few people were all numb and struggling to survive?

It was only when he saw Zitong that he realized that this sub-beast was indeed different.

Zi Tong’s speech and actions seemed to be with an inexplicable generosity and self-confidence. When referring to the small tribe called the “Redwood Tribe”, there was always a vague pride in his tone.

Ao suddenly felt that he had reached the age when he should find a partner.

It’s just that in the past few days he has been dedicated to Zitong openly and secretly, but Zitong doesn’t buy it very much. He doesn’t have the joy and gratitude of getting out of the sea of ​​suffering in his imagination. Instead, he often mentions the redwood tribe.

This surprised Ao and was a little bit dissatisfied—this Asian beast had been raised by those small tribes so that he couldn’t see how rich their tribe was!

These thick tents, warm animal skins, and plump prey, can ordinary tribes afford it?

Although he felt a little aggrieved in his heart, Ao Zizhen was an orc from a big tribe, and he shouldn’t care about Zitong, who was rescued from a small tribe, so he decided to go and prepare a sackcloth for Zitong.

Although Zitong said that she had no interest, she really got the clothes made of linen, and subconsciously compared it to the sweaters of the Redwood tribe.

Compared with sweaters, this kind of linen has a lot of warmth, but it is much lighter. If it is the warm season, it must be good to wear.

Seeing that Zitong was very interested, Ao also took Zitong to visit the tent where they store purple hemp, and said proudly: “This is what our tribe depends on for its livelihood, and other tribes won’t give it if they want to change it.”

In the tent, there were bundles of dried purple hemp, half of the hemp thread, and some hemp rope.

Zitong approached the hemp bundles, knelt down to touch them, and asked curiously, “Where are you planting these?”

“Seed?” Ao was a little confused, “These are all cut directly from the wild.”

“Doing nothing will grow by itself?”

“That’s not the case. At the beginning of the warm season, the seeds must be thrown on the ground, and then a grand sacrificial ceremony will be held. The power of the gods can make the seeds take root and germinate.”

Zitong understood. He pulled a few hemp ropes and tried, and found that these hemp ropes were stronger than any kind of straw rope of the Mahogany Tribe.

Obviously, the Zima tribe has not yet awakened the consciousness of planting…

Zitong pondered for a moment: If the Zima tribe is not bad, can we cooperate with the Hongmu tribe to plant this kind of plant that looks very useful?

…

After the heavy snowfall, the orcs of the Redwood tribe began to build a protective wall.

The foundation pits and bricks are ready before the cold season. Now they just need to build bricks into walls.

In addition to building walls, they also took the opportunity to smelt all the ore they had dug into bronze during this time when there was no busy farming.

Now they have very few bronze wares, and the number of farm tools and knives cannot be supplied to all households. Basically, several households use one hand in turn.

The main problem is that they have too few copper mines-there are not many orcs in the old site, and they have to take care of mining, plowing, and planting trees. The efficiency of mining is not very high.

Lu Lin took this into consideration when he first smelted the bronzes. He specifically asked Heng Teng to display the copper ore together when he promoted the copper coin, and told other tribes that this ore could extract copper coins so that they could Take the redwood tribe to exchange copper coins.

Although there is no news so far, Lu Wei speculates that there will be good news after the beginning of spring next year.

Lu Er is preparing a calendar recently.

When communicating with Jiao before, he taught Jiao the twenty-four solar terms. But that’s just to let Kok understand the world he lives in like a new story.

However, at that time, Lu Er did have the idea of ​​re-enacting the calendar of this world.

The time of this world is roughly the same as that of the earth. The time is calculated according to the position of the sun during the day, a cycle is calculated according to the moon’s cloudy and sunny circle in a month, and a year is calculated after a warm season and a cold season in twelve months have passed.

It’s just that, that’s all. There are no solar terms, months, seasons, and years.

At least from the Hongmu tribe, their name for time is very simple.

The existence of the calendar is also very important for the record of civilization, and more importantly, solar terms themselves are extremely significant for the macro-control of agriculture.

It is impossible for Lu Er to always decide what time to grow and what time to harvest for the orcs. These should be judged by the orcs themselves based on the time and climate.

The twenty-four solar terms on the earth cannot be directly used in this world, because there are still many differences between the time and climate of this world and the earth.

Therefore, Lu Er is reformulating the calendar.

Based on his understanding of the calendar and solar terms on the earth, coupled with three years of experience in this world, he summed up a new set of calendars, including different time concepts such as months, dates, solar terms, and moments.

In order to ensure the accuracy and practicability of this set of calendars, Lu Yan also brought the old priest over and asked him to participate in the formulation of the calendar.

The altar tribe already has the basic concept of time calculation, but it’s not as systematic as Lu Er’s calendar.

When the old priest just learned that Lu Yan was also a visitor from other worlds like those foreign races who claimed to be “divine envoys”, because of the various behaviors of the foreign races, he was actually full of vigilance against Lu Yan.

It’s just that I have seen the abundance of the Redwood tribe, especially the process of the Redwood tribe’s abundance has complete reproducibility and scalability. Any tribe can follow the path of the Redwood tribe to become rich, and the old sacrificial attitude has changed.

In particular, he and Lu Yan spent a few months together on the border of God’s Punishment Wasteland, fully understanding how gentle and fraternal this soul from another world was, and caring for this world was no worse than that of any orc.

Therefore, the old priests held great enthusiasm for any new things that Lu Er proposed, thinking about how the experience of the development of these different world civilizations can be applied to the orc world.

The calendar of the altar tribe is very simple, except for the basic time calculation, there are only two “points”.

Lu Lin was a little curious: “What’s the point?”

“One is when the moon is in the sky at night, which is the end of the previous day and the beginning of the second day; the other is the last crescent of the year, which is the end of the previous year and the beginning of the next year.”

Lu Er raised his eyebrows in surprise: “This is 0 o’clock and the New Year.”

“Yes, these two concepts are very similar to yours.” The old priest nodded. He just wanted to say this. Every New Year, the altar tribe will sing, dance, and celebrate for a long time.

“Where do these two points come from?”

“Instructions from the gods.” The old priest cleared his throat and his expression became more serious. “The gods gave the totems, and the totems conveyed them to us. We will extend it to the entire orc world.”

Lu Yi nodded thoughtfully.

The existence of God is now beyond doubt, but he still doesn’t know who God is.

I asked the old priest, and the old priest didn’t know—it used to be totems to communicate with the gods. After the death of the totems, he struggled to contact the gods, and after a few words, he broke the contact with the gods.

Since there is no conflict between God’s calendar and Lu Er’s calendar, Lu Er can rest assured, take out this set of calendars to Teng, and plan to implement it this year.

In addition, Lu Lin also polished a huge sundial to the corner of the tribe and placed it at the gate of the tribe as a simple timetable.

Most people in the tribe can now understand simple numbers and words. Lu Yan forced them to use “months and days and what time” instead of “when the sun is in the middle” to express the time in the future.

At this time, there was almost one month left before the New Year designated by God.

After discussing the new calendar, the Hongmu tribe decided to imitate the altar tribe and celebrate their first new year.
