Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming]

Lu Yan hadn't seen Xiao Mi like this, he couldn't help but was a little curious, lowered his head and laughed: "What's wrong with Xiao Mi?"

Xiao Mi's tail stiffened and quickly clumped into a ball, wrapping herself up, her head still buried under her belly, only the tip of her hairy tail trembling slightly.

Lu Er stretched out his hand and gently scratched Mi's back: "Mi, it's time to drink soup."

What makes Lu Ning feel strange is that when he heard that there was fresh broth to drink, he would immediately pounce on the cat cubs with wide-eyed and affectionate coquettishness. This time they did not respond to the delicious broth and continued to put He buried his head and refused to show up.

"Mi?"

Lu Ling yelled again with some worry, and gently hooked Xiao Mi's neck twice. As a result, Xiao Mi quickly turned around, rushed out, got into the gray animal skin bed, and wrapped herself tightly. .

Lu Wei stood up uneasy, and was about to take a look, but was stopped by white beard: "Little boy, this looks like shy, don't worry about it, let it be alone for a while."

Shy?

Lu Er was a little confused: He didn't mention a word of Mi just now, so why did he make this little kitten shy?

"Has Shiraishi also raised a cat?"

"Everyone can't get enough to eat, so how can they raise others." Bai Xu shook his head, took another ladle of broth, and smiled and pointed to Yong. "Yong was like this when he was a child. He went out hunting for the first time, hanging in a tree. He didn't dare to move, was hugged by Lie into a human form, and when he came back, he grouped himself into a ball, shrank into the animal skin and didn't want to meet people."

Speaking of the embarrassment when he was a child, Yong was helpless: "Father, how long ago this happened."

Lu Er listened to Shirobeu and Yong's gossip, seeing the hearty smiles on their faces, a touch of warmth appeared in his heart, and the not-so-exquisite broth in his mouth felt much more delicious.

Before the journey, Lu Yan had always lived alone. In addition to researching in the laboratory, he went to the experimental field and farmed. The most dealings with the tutors and schoolchildren were the mentors and the younger brothers and sisters. When he went home, he quietly licked the cat to read the paper. He never felt it. This unfettered atmosphere.

Judging from the feelings that Lu Wei has passed through to the present, most of these orcs' minds are very simple, their minds are almost on their faces, and there is no scheming, which makes him feel particularly relaxed.

—Unfortunately, his cat is somehow shy now. It would be more comfortable if he could chat with the cat while chatting.

Speaking of it, Lu Er is still a little curious: "Isn't my Xiao Mi a cub of an orc?"

Baibei smiled and waved his hand: "No, although the orc cub was born in the form of a beast, it will become a human form in a few days. Later, you will need to be taught by your father to learn to change back to the form of a beast... The age of your pet, no The orc teaching must not change back to the animal shape."

After hearing the words, Lu Er relaxed.

There is still a difference between petting a pet and a living person. It is impossible for him to treat an orc as a pet.

-But think about it, if Xiao Mi is really an orc, how can she tolerate herself teasing him so much!

…

Every day, Lu Er went to Baixu’s small vegetable garden to see the growth of ginger. He also instructed Baixu to dig some soil full of humus to soak in water to make natural organic fertilizer and fertilize it.

The growth of these gingers is very good. They sprout and grow leaves soon, which are much faster than the **** on the earth.

And Lu Er himself had never watered the spiritual water, nor had he cultivated the contrast plant with the spiritual water, and he hadn't germinated yet.

Lu Er preliminarily concluded that the offspring of crops cultivated with Lingshui will grow and develop much faster than ordinary plants—whether this trait can be heritable permanent improvement or a temporary effect, has to be gradually verified by subsequent adjustment of experimental variables.

In addition to ginger, Lu Er also gave Baixu the seeds of the cabbage that he had almost improved.

After Baixu knew that the white root vegetables, which were much sweeter and crisper than wild vegetables, were grown by Lu Er himself, he was so surprised that he could hardly speak.

—Those rhizomes that are comparable to the ripe fruits in autumn were cultivated by Green Ear alone?

Lu Er himself didn't have much pride. After all, he could quickly select the best breeding, and he still borrowed the convenience of Lingshui.

These days, besides daily expanding his small vegetable garden and transplanting various seemingly valuable plants, he is also striving to find the most important millet, lily and other crops in the development of primitive agriculture.

However, after searching for it for a long time, he found spices such as star anise and fennel, but there are still no shadows of varieties such as Su Li potato.

Some plants that can produce grass seeds have also tried to cultivate them. In the end, they have been found that they cannot be used as staple foods because of the scattered grass ears and the bitter grass seeds.

In the end, Lu Er could only pin his hopes on the strong and heavy of going out to change salt, hoping that they could bring back the seeds he wanted from outside the tribe.

The other people in the tribe also began to look forward to the return of Lie Hezhong, because everyone's salt was almost consumed. Only Yong is here. Because Lie sent all his salt before leaving the house, he barely had enough.

In the eagerness of the entire tribe, Lie Hezhong finally returned.

When Liehe returned this time, he didn't suffer any injuries, and the people of the Redwood tribe who had experienced several times of loss of strength were collectively relieved.

But it was too early for them to feel relieved.

Because the amount of salt brought back by Liehezhong is small.

Three animal skin pockets were removed from the sturdy bison's back. Inside were yellow and black coarse salt, and there were obvious gravels mixed in them.

The orcs who came to collect the salt with the calabash scoops stored in their respective homes looked at each other, a little surprised and worried.

The flowertail who was in the forefront looked down at the three bags of salt, and asked incredulously: "Is there only so much?"

If there is only this little salt, even if it is divided, it will not be enough to eat for a month!

Zhong's complexion was not very attractive, but he still replied: "There are only so many for the time being. Let's divide it according to the old rules."

Huawei rolled her eyes, a trace of greed flashed across her pretty face, pretending to stand peacefully to the forefront: "I will collect the green-eared salt for him, and send it to him later."

Because Huawei is one of the few Asian beasts who are willing to approach the green ears, although Huawei has a bad attitude towards green ears, she often takes the initiative to help the green ear collars who hardly go out. Everyone agrees that their contradiction is only among the small Asian beasts. Intermittent squabbles.

Seeing the heavy acquiescence, Huawei was secretly happy, and was about to scoop more salt, suddenly heard a gentle voice in her ears: "Don't bother Huawei, I will take it myself."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and turned around to find that Lu Wei was holding the kitten in his arms, holding the calabash scoop that was also used to hold salt in his hands, and his expression was as if he were no different from the others.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes-when Green Ears had been distributing food, salt, or animal skins before, Green Ear had never taken the initiative to go out. They were all sent by Flower Tail. Why did he want to come out this time?

-It seems that since the death of the horn and the leader was severely injured and unconscious, the green ears have matured a lot, and perhaps it is easier to become stronger after being hit.

Lu Wei turned a blind eye to those surprised eyes, walked to the line behind the salt-sharing line, nodded to the flower tail in front, with a gentle expression, and even smiled at the corners of his mouth: "I will collect my things by myself in the future, so I won't bother flower tails anymore. ."

Huawei gritted her teeth, and wanted to yell at that face, and took into account that Lie was watching from the side, and she tried to hold it down, before squeezing out a sentence: "It's okay, it's okay."

In fact, Lu Er really wanted to tell the fact that the flower tail was deducted from the food allocated to the original body, but after all, he had not personally experienced the previous things, and there was no evidence. Now accusing the flower tail of deducting food might be a bit of a rake, so he didn't say much.

In the future, if Huawei still troubles him, he will let this restless and kind beast eat its own fruit.

Although there are not many people in the Redwood Tribe, there is only so much salt after all, and everyone is divided into half a scoop and it is gone.

Xiao Mi is now accustomed to the arms of this Asian beast. She raised her head and glanced at the few salt, and then looked at her not-so-good-looking complexion. A flash of blue pupils flashed: Lie and Zhong, sure. Was it scammed by people from nearby tribes?

After all, from the perspective of outsiders, the Redwood Tribe has lost two of the most powerful orcs, and they are reduced to the point that they dare not go to the Heihe Tribe to exchange salt, and of course they will not show mercy to their men.

Mi moved her tail, and glanced over the half scoop of salt mixed with sand that Lu Ling received. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across the face of the fluffy cat: these salt must be bitter and toothy to eat, the words of the Heihe tribe have never been Wouldn't give such salt out.

—He must recover as soon as possible...How can he keep his sub-beasts eating this kind of salt?

—Well, his sub beast...

This kitten who seemed to have just been weaned suddenly thought of the words he heard a few days ago. The tail that had been lazily wagging because of boredom suddenly froze, and he carefully looked up at the Asian beast who was holding him. His chin and ears were slightly hot, and he couldn't help but move his ears.

Lu Yan didn't know the random thoughts of the little cat in his arms.

He went back and tasted the salt. The taste was a bit bitter. It was obviously not refined and probably contained a lot of impurities. But without better refined salt, Lu Er could barely use the salt.

Lie's return not only brought salt, but also the seeds of primitive crops he had in mind.

In a remote corner, Lie spread out his hand, and several oval seeds covered with dry seed coats and yellowish inside were lying quietly on his palm with slight scars.

There was no expression on Lie's stern face, and his voice was low: "I only found this."

Lu Yan took the seeds and nodded in surprise: "It's already very good."

These seeds Lu Er recognized at a glance, they were the soybeans he had been thinking about for a long time!

Soybean itself is an excellent nitrogen fertilizer. It is one of the few crops that is planted properly and not only will not lose the land, but also can make the soil fertile. The beans themselves are widely used whether they are eaten directly or pressed for oil, not to mention the wonderful soy products such as tofu.

Lu Er wished to go to his small vegetable garden now to open up a piece of land to plant beans.

But he still remembered his hard work in finding seeds for him: "Thank you, these seeds are so useful."

Lie shook his head: "You help Yong heal his injury, I will find seeds for you, don't need to thank you-how is Yong's injury?"

Lu Wei carefully held the seed in his hand, nodded and replied, "Yong has recovered well from his injury, and the splint can be removed in a few days."

Lie knew that the wooden stick clamped on Yong's broken leg was what the Asian beast in front of him called "splint". It was used to prevent Yong's leg from getting crooked. He couldn't help but feel a little happy, and the indifference on his face faded a lot: "That That's great, I will visit him later."

Lu Ling missed his soybean planting, and he hurriedly bid farewell to Lie, and left with Mi and seeds.
