Most of the food that can be found in this forest is sweet leaf grass and black worm fruit.I don't know if it's because I can't see sunlight for a long time in the depths of the forest.Lin Xi found that the sweet-leaved grass here was much smaller than those in the forests near the tribe.But the mesophyll is a little thicker!
If you want to compare it, it is like the difference between a thin lettuce leaf and a Shanghai green root.In addition to sweet leaf grass and black worm fruit, there are also many rolling fruit plants here.Rolling fruit grass has fruits, Lin Xi once tried to taste it, but unfortunately there was only a sour taste, and he couldn't eat it.But with the change of time, Lin Xi felt that the current Rolling Fruit Grass Leaf was slightly spicier than before!
At least it can make her taste more obvious and enjoyable!
When Lin Xi came out of the cave in the morning, he brought a basket and two large animal skin bags, which were now just right to separate the blades of grass and wild fruits.The temperature in the forest is very low, but fortunately, Lin Xi is quite thick, and he doesn't feel cold, but his hands will be a little cold.But that doesn't stop her from picking at a pace.The back basket was gradually filled with sweet leaf grass and rolling fruit grass, and the animal skin bag she brought had also been filled with a large bag of black insect fruits, and the remaining one in her hand was already half a bag at this time.Lin Xi threw a handful of freshly picked black worm fruit into the bag, stood up, and walked towards the other black worm fruit grass.And at this moment, not far to her right, a yellowing and dry plant, which was faintly hidden by a low tree, suddenly attracted her attention!
Is that......
Corn?!
Lin Xi's eyes widened, looking at the plant in disbelief for a moment!
But soon, she was very sure that this thing was the kind of crop that her grandmother's family would grow every year when she was a child, and she would never admit it!
She excitedly ran to the plant and took a closer look!
The long stalks, the leaves that have dried up and turned yellow, and the two fruits that grow on the stalks one by one.Lin Xi looked at the long fruit on the top, and couldn't help but raise his hand and gently peel off the leaves on the fruit.Layer after layer of leaves are gradually peeled open one by one, and finally the neatly arranged golden particles inside!
It's really corn!
Seeing the appearance of the fruit inside, Lin Xi's excited heartbeat began to accelerate!
She broke off the two pieces of corn and the leaves on the outside, and then began to look around to see if there were any more corn plants.Luckily, in the end, after a few trees not far away, I actually found two more of the same corn stalks.It's just that each of these two stalks has only one stick of corn.There were a total of four cobs of corn, each of which was not very big, and it was only as long as Lin Xi's palm.The corn cob on the underside that grew on the first corn plant was only half the size of Lin Xi's palm!
But Lin Xi is already very satisfied!
Of course, these four cobs of corn were not taken back to eat, but to be made into seeds for her!
In the next few decades of her life, whether she can eat a serious staple food depends on these four sticks of corn!
For this reason, Lin Xi also went to ask Aunt Xue Tian and Xue Ying if they had seen the same plant.The good news is that Aunt Xue Tian knows this thing, and she calls it Yellow Fruit.This at least shows that the orcs have a knowledge and impression of corn.But it's a pity that there doesn't seem to be much corn growing here, and Aunt Xue Tian only recognizes corn, but she rarely sees it, and she doesn't know where there is more corn!
So it seems that the ears of corn in Lin Xi's hand are even more precious.Thinking so, Lin Xi carefully put the corn into the animal skin bag, and stuffed it into the depths of the black insect fruit pile to prevent it from falling out on the way back.At this time, compared to continuing to collect food, Lin Xi was more anxious to go back to the tribe.She always felt that if she didn't take the corn back to the cave, it wouldn't be safe for a moment.Finally, more than three hours after the orcs came out, most of the animal skin bags brought out by the orcs were full.Xue Ying and Aunt Xue Tian each brought out four animal skin bags, while Lin Xi carried a basket of wild vegetables on his back, but there were still two large animal skin bags full of animal skin that he hadn't taken!
Xue Ying wanted to carry Lin Xi back, and Aunt Xue Tian was older, and Lin Xi was embarrassed to trouble her, so she finally asked a female beast of the Niu clan in the team to help.Like Xue Ying, Lin Xi promised to wait until she went back and gave her a small game as a thank you!
The little female readily agreed.Hunting has never been an easy task for herbivorous orcs.Perhaps it is the limitation of the beast-type body that when herbivorous orcs hunt, there will always be a certain aspect, such as speed, attack power, or concealment ability, which is a little worse.This also leads to the time cost of their hunting is very high, compared to coming out to collect these wild fruits and vegetables, it can even be regarded as a waste of time.Therefore, most of the meat that the herbivorous orcs here usually eat is the carnivorous orcs in the tribe who need help and pay for it.Only a small part of the remaining ones were hunted by themselves.However, most of them are similar to prey throwing themselves into a net, and orcs are caught like waiting for rabbits!
And that's just a matter of effort.Carrying two bags of fruit, you can get a piece of meat trade, for the female beast of the cattle clan, it is very suitable!
She couldn't be more satisfied!
When a group of orcs rushed back to the tribe, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.The reason why it is so clear is because Lin Xi inserted a wooden stick at the mouth of the cave, and every day he watched the change of the shadow of the wooden stick to judge the approximate time.Xue Ying and the female beast of the Ox Clan directly sent Lin Xi back to the cave, and after putting the food they brought back into the cave, Lin Xi quickly packed up his things and ran to the bottom of the mountain to gather.Every moment of the pre-winter grain storage period is very precious, of course, it is impossible to go out to collect it once a day, and it will be over!
Ten minutes later, the large army gathered and set off towards the forest again, still going to the forest before.When collecting again this time, Lin Xi began to observe more carefully, looking forward to finding more ingredients and ingredients that he was familiar with.She was still looking for corn.But it's a pity that there seem to be only those three golden seedlings here, and this afternoon, Lin Xi didn't find a single one!
She thought that the seeds that grew these three corn trees must have fallen out of the butts of a passing bird, or some herbivore.Otherwise, how could there be such a large area of land, and not a single tree was found!
But fortunately, although there was no corn, she picked up mushrooms again!
The mushrooms are still the kind of mushrooms that were found before, which are called "white flesh fruits" by the orcs, and these mushrooms are very large, probably because it rained just yesterday, so they all came out today.In fact, Lin Xi is a little strange, although it has only rained, but today's temperature should no longer be suitable for mushroom growth, not to mention that it has only been one night, and it has grown such a big piece!
But she only thought about it for two seconds, and then she gave up thinking!
It doesn't matter, it's the main thing that fills her belly!
Lin Xi thought about it, carrying the back basket while walking and picking, and finally filled the entire back basket!
