When all the snow on the mountain has melted, the first grass sprouts begin to emerge on the slopes.On the day he found the first budding grass, Lin Xi found a wooden plank, cut several animal skins to the same size, and sewed them into a book of animal skins.Then she wrote a 1 on a board with blackened charcoal, recording this day as the first day of January of the new year, which is also the first day of spring.The winter that had just finished was the first season that Lin Xi had spent in this beast world, and this season alone had passed nearly eight months.Lin Xi thought about it, and finally decided to set the month here as sixty days, she had already experienced it, a winter was four months, as for the length of the other seasons, she still didn't know, but when the time came, it would be calculated according to the weather changes!
Lin Xi didn't know anything about astronomy and geography, but since he wanted to live here, he couldn't live in a mess.At least, she had to know how old she was on the day she died.And the animal skin book was used by Lin Xi to record the month.When every 60 days were written on the board, Lin Xi would write down the number of the month on the animal skin book, and when he wrote enough four seasons, it was a new year.The ice of the Mogan River has all melted, and when the female beast Yueqing of the cat clan still has some thin ice on the bank of the river, she has already begun to eagerly pull Jin Dare to go to the river to catch fish.Lin Xi counted the height of the sun every day, feeling the wind blowing from the north side of the mountain getting warmer, and felt that it was time to discuss with Bai Nu and Wu about cultivating the fields for planting."
Wise Man Linxi, are you saying that these sweet leaf grasses, black worm fruits, purple peel fruits, and these fruits are all you......
Seed?
Planted?
”Although I had heard Lin Xi mention the idea of planting before, it was just a description of words after all!
Before this, Bai Nu had never been exposed to the concept of planting, so when he saw the various vegetation that Linxi had successfully planted for the first time, even though seeing was believing, he still felt as unreal as a dream!
Plants can be born by orcs!
Well......
The wise man said that this kind of life is called planting?"
That's right, Chief of the White Fury.As I said before, as long as there are seeds, these flowers and fruits can be grown. ”Lin Xi stretched out his hand and pulled down the leaves of the sweet-leaved grass that had grown very long, then turned his head to Bai Nu and said, "Actually, just like animals give birth, plants also need to give birth, and seeds are their cubs. ”Bai Nu was still a little shocked.He couldn't help but be surprised to see the plants that only come in summer and autumn in late winter and early spring.But at this time, Wu Wu, who was also here, regained her composure faster, and she thought of the great benefits that this "planting" could bring to the orcs in the tribe."
I see."
She looked at Lin Xi, and there was a rare uneasiness in her eyes, which even made Lin Xi feel a little embarrassed in the face of this hot gaze.She looked at Lin Xi and asked, "So, Wise Lin Xi, what do you need me and the White Fury Leader to do?"
”Lin Xi met the warm gazes of the two pairs of eyes, organized his words, and said, "I need a piece of flat land for planting, and some orcs who help me reclaim the land, that is, help me work." ”At the end, she added: "The location of the land must be the one I have chosen." ”Of course, Wu and Bai Nu had no objections, and even began to implement it the next moment.They followed Lin Xi to the place she liked first.Several orcs came out of the cave with Lin Xi, Wuchen turned into a huge black panther, Lin Xi climbed up and pointed in a direction towards the front of the tribe, after Wuchen saw it clearly, he spread his limbs and ran towards that side.White Fury and Wu, who also turned into beast forms, followed closely behind.The speed of the orcs was very fast, and a group of four people quickly arrived at the place.The place Lin Xi chose was actually directly in front of the tribe, if she walked, it would take about half an hour, but the orcs ran up, but it only took two or three minutes to arrive!
It was a long way from the forest, a blank meadow between the forest and the tribe.There are almost no trees on the ground except for overgrown weeds, making it easy to clean.Moreover, Lin Xi has seen that the terrain here is flat, there is no shelter from the mountains, the sun is abundant, and the distance to the water source is not too far for the orcs, which is suitable for reclamation.Lin Xi pointed out four fixed points to Bai Nu and Wu, and then decided to reclaim the places that connected these four points.When White Fu and Wu heard this, they immediately called the orcs of the tribe to help.And when the orcs heard that Lin Xi had actually grown weeds and fruits, there was another uncontrollable commotion!
Even though it only took a few orcs to work, a large group of orcs who couldn't help but be curious to verify whether this thing was true or false came with a bang.Especially herbivorous orcs!"
Wise Man of Linxi, did you really give birth to sweet leaf grass in winter?""
Wise man of Linxi, what does planting mean?""
That's right!
Why is grass and fruit called planting?
”"Wise man Linxi, can you give birth to sweet leaf grass now, spring has just arrived, but our sweet leaf grass and red hair grass have already been eaten!"
Lin Xi was so noisy that he had a headache!
But after a moment's thought, she felt that this was indeed an opportunity to introduce the concept of planting to the orcs.So after Bai Fu's tiger roar, the crowd quieted down, and some orcs, who had just been the most excited, looked at Bai Nu cautiously, for fear that he would be angry in the next second.But fortunately, no, it was Lin Xi's wise man who sat on the high back of Wuchen and spoke to them.Lin Xi said what he had just explained to Bai Nu and Wu again, and then to the orcs in front of him.After finishing speaking, she pointed to the land in front of her and said: "I will use this land first to try to grow these wild vegetables and wild fruits, if we can plant successfully, then we can grow winter food in advance before the arrival of each winter, so that we don't always have to run to the depths of the forest to find it!"
”"Really?""
No need to go to the forest?!""
Wise Man Linxi, will we have more time to go to the forest to hunt prey?"
Orcs with quick heads thought of more at once.Lin Xi looked at the orc who asked this question and nodded affirmatively: "Of course, the food we grow by ourselves doesn't need to be taken care of every day, so when it's time for winter storage, we can save a lot of time to collect and do other things!"
”Hearing Lin Xi's words, the orcs' eyes immediately lit up!
Especially when it comes to winter storage, herbivorous orcs who always spend more time on gathering!
For them, plant-based food is already more difficult to preserve, and a fifth of the food they hoard each winter is always consumed because it rots and freezes.And winter storage is really a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task, just looking for these foods is much more laborious than carnivorous orcs, and even depends on luck in many cases!
Even in the first two autumns, there was very little rain that autumn, and the fruits and weeds that the orcs used to eat grew very little, and many herbivorous orcs did not stock up on food that winter, and finally starved to death!
So if what the wise man of Lin Xi said about planting is true, then they don't have to worry about not finding food in the forest!
