Chapter 231 Chapter 231
Changfeng called, and the fifty chiefs who lived around the misty forest asked them to go back and tell the orc families who lived in the valley with springs.

If they don't want to be expelled, they must allow the orcs in the valley without springs to pick up a load of water for drinking every day.

If there is a particularly large orc family, after you go back and verify, you are allowed to carry two loads of water back to such a family every day.

If someone asks too much to bring more water back, you should solve it yourself, or persuade, or punish with minor punishments, and if you still don't listen, you will be expelled directly.

No selfish orcs are left in my territory, nor are greedy orc families allowed to exist.

Just following Chang Feng's order, the orc families living around the Lost Forest became much more stable, and they did not fight over drinking water anymore.

Due to the drought, the food that everyone harvested gradually lost a lot, so Changfeng, as the lord, had to get busy again.

He ordered all the orc families in his territory to take advantage of the harvest season to search for edible grains that grow on the unowned land and bring them back. I am afraid that the drought will be more serious next year. There will be fewer food plants.

Although the orcs prefer to eat meat, the worse the year is, the herbivores will not have fresh grass to eat, they will not get enough nutrition, and their reproductive ability will decline.

The beasts that live on herbivores will also be affected, and they are interlocking. They are at the top of the food chain. Because of the reduction in the number of animals, they are also facing the situation of no meat to eat.

Just like after the snow season comes this year, a large number of animals will flood into the deepest part of the foggy forest due to the drought.

For ordinary orcs, it is very difficult for one or two orcs to hunt.

As a result, during the snow season, there is not much prey stored. Most orc families can only cook and eat animal meat mixed with grain to survive the cold and long snow season.

Because anyone who is not stupid will understand this truth, so the orcs who received Changfeng's order searched around for edible food without a trace of resistance.

Seeing that the frost season is coming, Chang Feng brought Feng Yuan back from hunting in the forest, Xiaoxi saw him frowning tightly: "What's the matter, what happened?"

Chang Feng asked Feng Yuan to take the prey to the pool for disposal, and he sat on a stone by the brook where the medicinal herbs were drying: "I have been hunting for a while, and found that the prey is getting less and less.

Due to the drought, there is no water source for the animals to drink, and the grass has dried up early. The herbivores have left the periphery of the forest, and the wild beasts that rely on the herbivores are not frequented.

At this time, the number of animals and beasts has decreased sharply. It seems that the prey that can be hunted before the snow season this year will be less than we imagined, and the days to come will be even more difficult. "

Xiaoxi’s family’s food has already been taken back. In previous years, the sweet rice crackers on the two hills could receive about 1 catties. This year, even though they carried water for irrigation due to the drought, you only received more than [-] catties.

This year, the sweet rice crackers, corn kernels, peanuts, and red kernels of their family only collected about [-] catties of grain.

Such data made Xiaoxi terrified. It was difficult for their family to accept such a harvest, let alone those ordinary families who did not grow so much food.

Their family's harvest is only enough to feed their family for a year if there is little meat in a year.

Xiaoxi thinks more long-term. This year's life is so sad. If the drought continues next year, she can't even imagine what will happen.

In the face of the reduction of prey, it is difficult for plants in the dry field to grow well, let alone harvest food.

With the shortage of drinking water and lack of food, the orcs will become more and more restless and difficult to control.

Usually, maybe because they don’t have enough food stored at home, they eat a little less, and when they get through it, there will be enough food to eat, and they won’t steal or grab it.

But in the face of a hopeless tomorrow, no one can guarantee what they will do when their family members are about to starve to death due to food shortages.

Changfeng also thought of this, so he was frowning, and the two of them didn't speak for a while. According to Xiaohua and her mother Beast Yun's prediction, the drought is far from over.

It is likely that the drought will continue into next year, or even longer the year after.

The eruption of the holy mountain, the sudden tsunami by the sea, the drought of the entire orc continent, so many disasters followed one after another, this is the rhythm of destroying the orcs.

Not long after the family finished their meal in the evening, Xiaohua and Xiaoya led several males to Xiaoxi's house.

Seeing the serious faces of the adults, Xiao Shitou and Xiao Nuan, who followed, also sat down beside Xiao Candy in a peaceful manner. They have also grown up, and they know that the adults have been worried about the drought for a while.

The two adults and children sat together in a circle, silent for a while, and broke the silence with a fierce cough: "Changfeng, what should we do now, the drought has seriously affected this year's grain harvest.

We, the seven or eight families who lived here first, live alone on the hills, and the place is big enough, and now we grow a lot of food, and your family is also very hardworking.

Even though there was a drought this year, everyone did not slack off. They all carried water to irrigate the fruit trees and food. Although the harvest was a little less, they could still survive this snow season by saving a little food.

But the surrounding orc families, because they live on a hill, have relatively little land, and even less grain to harvest.

A few thousand catties more, and a thousand catties less would be good, and even the lazy orc family, because they didn't water the corn and fruit trees, didn't even receive a few hundred catties of food.

Those orcs with a fluke mentality thought they could survive the entire snow season by hunting more prey before this year's snow season.

But during this period of time, we all found that the prey in the forest has begun to decrease. This season is not yet the time to store prey. It is really hard to say how many prey will be hunted by then. "

When Meng said this, he rubbed his face with his hands, he was a little bit speechless, because his family Xiaohua has the ability to predict, he knows better than others that this drought is far from over, and the days to come will be more difficult.

Feng, who was sitting next to him, patted him on the shoulder: "You know, it's useless to worry like this. In the face of natural disasters, none of us can do anything, we can only try our best to survive."

Feng looked at Changfeng and said what they saw today: "Changfeng, our family has a large number of people, and relatively speaking, we grow less food than your family. In the past few days, we have gone to far away places to find wild land. food grown in.

I saw a lot of orcs walking in the direction where we live.

We pretended to be curious and went up to inquire, only to find out that the place where they lived was too dry, and they were not very good at taking care of the seedlings of food, so they didn't water them, so these orcs didn't receive much food at all this year.

I heard that our place is rich in supplies and life is good. I heard that the orcs from many places around are flocking to us. "

After Feng finished speaking, he looked at Changfeng and Xiaoxi wondering what to do with this matter, if they would take in the orcs who defected in such a famine year.
