Chapter 69: Sowing


The temporary residence of the Red Horse Tribe arranged by the Wildfire Tribe was not far away, just on the border of the forest in front of the tribe, and it could be seen at a glance from the hillside of the tribe.Red Road and Red Crystal have already taken the orcs of the Red Horse Clan to the other side of the forest to build a thatched hut to live in these days!

And Lin Xi asked Wu to know that the reason why they were allowed to stay not far away while preparing their prey was also to let the orcs in the tribe have a familiar time with the orcs of the Red Horse Clan.It's also to observe the behavior of the Red Horse Orcs.After Lin Xi heard this, he pursed his lips in understanding.The orcs' concept of doing things will always surprise her suddenly at some point!

But thinking about it, Lin Xi felt that it was not so much the concept of orcs that was surprising, but her concept, and sometimes it was still with the arrogance of being a human to orcs.It's like labeling the orcs as savage primitive!

But why can't the orcs have such delicate and meticulous thoughts?

The arrival of the Red Horse tribe made the tribe lively for a while.As the days passed, the temperature gradually increased, and the bare hillsides became green.Lin Xi felt that he could start sowing!

During the last winter grain storage period, Lin Xi had already stored a lot of seeds in her hands, some of which she found herself, and some of which were found by the orcs and handed to her, and she roughly remembered the quantity.She plans to plant all the seeds she collects in her small vegetable garden, and the orcs will find them and use them in the tribe's experimental fields.Now there are nearly twenty kinds of seeds in Lin Xi's hand, including green vegetables, staple foods, seasonings and fruits, and she decided to plant a little except fruits.The reason why they don't grow fruit is because they don't have to get food now, and they can be found in the forest.Before officially starting to sow seeds, Lin Xi first raised some seedlings from seeds.The seedlings she raises are all small seeds, such as stinky fruits and sour fruits, but they need to be planted individually.Because if you don't sow seeds in advance, these crops will have to be pulled out when they grow and make room for large seedlings to grow, which will be a waste of seeds!

If the seedlings are raised in advance and then planted, there will be no such problem.Two days before the start of planting, Lin Xi first opened the canal of the windmill and watered the ground.There has been no rain in the forest lately, and the soil is not moist enough.After watering and waiting for another two days, after feeling that the moisture of the soil was almost over, Lin Xi went to the next door to find Bai Fu: "Leader Bai Fu, I plan to start sowing seeds today, but I need the help of a few orcs!"

”When Bai Nu heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing!

He looked at Lin Xi expectantly with a pair of tiger eyes: "How many orcs are needed, I'll let Cangju find them." ”Lin Xi thought for a while, and finally said, "About ten." ”When Bai Nu heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Okay, then I'll let them finish breakfast and go to you." ”Lin Xi listened, but shook his head: "No, let them go directly to that field, and I will go directly too." ”As soon as the news that the wise man of Lin Xi was going to start sowing seeds spread, not only the orcs in the tribe, but even the orcs of the Red Horse tribe came to watch!

The orcs of the Red Horse Tribe already know what the Wildfire Tribe is up to!

When they first found out, their mood was almost as shocked as the orcs of the Mountain Fire Tribe when they learned the news!

They couldn't have imagined that orcs could actually give birth to food that grows in the forest!

Didn't they all grow in the ground?

And at this time, the orcs of the Mountain Fire Tribe, who had already heard Lin Xi's popular science on planting, inexplicably had a sense of superiority.Even when he went out to hunt every day and met the orcs of the Red Horse Tribe, the orcs of the Mountain Fire Tribe unconsciously took on a proud look!

Lin Xi didn't know any of these things, and she was still immersed in thinking about planting methods.Planting something is not just a matter of burying the seed in the soil and waiting for it to grow, different seeds have different planting methods!

Corn, purple peel fruit, black worm fruit, and stinky fruit are all plants that grow alone.When planting, you need to sow seeds in a straight line, and a certain growth distance must be left between each seed.Lin Xi first used corn seeds to demonstrate to the orcs who helped.She first used her hoe to dig small shallow pits in a straight line in the ground, leaving an arm's length between each pit.After digging the pit, water the pit is watered before the seeds are put in the pit.Lin Xi still remembers that when he was a child, when he planted corn at home, he put two or three seeds in a pit, and when the seedlings grow, the small seedlings were removed and the big seedlings were left to grow, which was considered merit-based admission.But now she has a pitiful number of seeds in her hands, and she doesn't dare to waste any of them if they can grow one by one.After sowing the seeds, she backfills the soil and buries the seeds, and the soil on both sides forms a ridge that rises above the horizon above a row of seeds.Lin Xi gently stepped on the back of the ridge with his foot, and said to a few orcs who were studying beside him: "You don't need to use too much force when you step on it, and when you dig a pit for the purple peel fruit, you can be a little farther apart." ”Purple peel fruit is a crop that bears fruit underground.A purple fruit seedling can produce up to 10 to 145 purple peel fruits.Because the fruit in the soil grows more and occupies more land, too close to each other will affect the fruiting and the size of the fruit.Therefore, the seedlings of each purple peel fruit are spaced a little farther apart.After a few orcs began to bury the seeds according to her movements, Lin Xi stood aside and watched for a while, and after finding no problems, he took the remaining orcs to the side of the land.The rest of the vegetable seeds are basically small-grained seeds, such as sweet leaf grass, red hairy grass, rolling fruit grass, green onion and other seeds.They are all directly dug out of the furrow in the ground, and then the rapeseed is sprinkled directly and evenly according to the classification and buried.And finally, the seedlings that were cultivated in advance.In order to save trouble, Lin Xi still directly dug out the ditches, and then put the water from the canals into the ditches to soak the soil.She then spread the seedlings half an arm's length apart, pressed the roots into the soft soil, and buried them in the soil.She looked at the remaining three orcs around her and said, "That's it, when walking in the field, remember not to step on the back of the ridge, and wait until a few orcs show their understanding, and then she walks back to the field."

Because of the lack of land and the speed of the orcs, the sowing of ten acres of land was quickly completed in less than a morning.Because he was not at ease, after discussing with Wuchen and Wuwu, Lin Xi decided to build a guard tower in each of the four corners of the ground, and sent the warriors of the tribe to watch here.But it's not that she's not worried about the orcs in the tribe.The orcs are so looking forward to the results of the planting, they will definitely not come to destroy it.Lin Xi was worried that the animals in the forest would run in, after all, these crops themselves were food for some animals.
