Traveling through the world of beasts: Lingquan space has some fields

The orcs are really diligent in their work and will not compromise at all. Everyone is as tired as a perpetual motion machine. They separate the vines from the roots, put the roots into the basket, and tie the vines into bundles.

There was no lazy figure on the sand. Even the little cubs who were still playing around at the beginning were working hard.

Qiao Xin discovered that the soil here was really like the black soil of the Great Northern Wilderness. It was so fat that it was oily. The chestnut potatoes that grew wildly were large and plump, and white juice oozed from the fracture surfaces.

She washed one, cut it with a machete, and took a bite. It was crispy, sweet and pink. The one in her hand was as thick as her arm, and it didn't feel old.

Xiong Shi opened his big black eyes and watched Qiao Xin rinse her mouth. Seeing Qiao Xin looking at him, he took his finger out of his mouth and brought out a stream of crystal saliva.

"......do you want to eat?"

Xiong Shi's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded his round head, "Can I eat it?"

"can."

"But, this is everyone's ration, I can't eat it casually."

Qiao Xin touched his round head, it was so soft! As expected of the prototype, it’s a bear, and it’s simply not easy to touch.

"We can each eat two sweet potatoes of this size at noon today, so you can treat it as an advance." Qiao Xin gestured at the thickness of her arms.

"Okay, I'll eat one first."

Xiong Shi took one out of his backpack and started chewing it without washing it.

Qiao Xin was stunned, "Good guy, it turns out you are such a foodie!"

Baby! At least give it a wash! The river is right next to it!

You don't mind your teeth either.

Qiao Xin's food distribution was quickly passed on to all the orcs present.

Everyone has long wanted to taste chestnut potatoes.

Shu Lin and Shu Bao took four sweet potatoes and cleaned them on the shallows. She did not peel them like Qiao Xin, but bit them with the skins on.

The sweet taste filled her mouth, making her open her eyes involuntarily. If the Orcs wanted to taste sweetness, they could only get it from some fruits. She didn't expect that the rhizome of this chestnut potato was actually sweet.

"Mother, I have to take second place." Shu Bao tiptoed to reach for the chestnut sweet potato in Shu Lin's hand.

Shu Lin quickly picked her up, and the slightly heavy feeling in her hands made her pause. Her eyes fell on Shu Bao's face, and she really noticed that there was some flesh on Shu Bao's face. There was a slight twinkle in her eyes, and she put the hand in her hand. Lishu handed it to her.

Shubao took a bite of the washed chestnut sweet potato, and then said in surprise: "Mom, it's sweet."

"Well, it's sweet. If you like it, eat more."

"My mother also eats it. One is enough for me, and the other one is for my mother."

"It's enough for mother to eat one."

"Then shall we return the rest to the tribe?"

Shu Lin looked at Qiao Xin and counted how many chestnut potatoes she had dug, "No need, it's ours if you give it to us."

"really?"

"real."

"Wow - Master Qiao Xin said that the prey we cubs dig into traps also belongs to us. Mother, I like it here, will we stay here in the future?"

"Ah."

"Great."

The orcs who took a break at noon did not rest in place. This intensity of work was nothing in their eyes. If it were not for the limited time during the day, they would have dug back all the chestnuts and potatoes.

But Qiao Xin forced them to rest.

One by one, they were gnawing chestnut potatoes in their hands while watching Qiao Xin counting.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

“Count what you have gained today.”

"Then what pattern did you carve on the wood?"

"This is not a pattern, this is a number. Tell me how many chestnut potatoes I dug today. I don't need to use my brain to remember it. I only need to look at the number on this wood chip to know."

"Wow - so amazing."

Qiao Xin, who was accustomed to these things, said, "..." Even if the cubs are magical, why do you adult orcs also look magical? Doesn't the Orc Continent have its own unit of measurement?

"How did your old tribe count."

"I don't know!"

Qiao Xin looked at the adult orcs, and most of them shook their heads.

Leopard Moon, who came from a large tribe, said: "The statistics of the quantity are calculated by the shamans of the tribe. They calculate by knotting ropes. I don't know what it looks like specifically."

"Oh, it's different from my previous tribe. My previous tribe used this number for statistics." Qiao Xin raised the wood chips in her hand.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Everyone was not happy, they all looked at Qiao Xin with horror on their faces.

Some of the orcs had begun to kneel down, making a prostrate posture on the ground, trembling all over and whimpering in submission.

If there is one, there will be two, and gradually everyone becomes prostrate.

Qiao Xin looked puzzled, what's wrong?

The cubs imitated the adults and crawled on the ground, but they were not as frightened as the adults, sticking their butts out and glancing at Qiao Xin dishonestly.

"Shu Lin, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Shu Lin hesitated to speak and lay on the ground. After thinking for a few seconds, he said: "Sir, we cannot learn the knowledge of witches!"

"...This is not knowledge that only witches can learn! In our place, everyone can learn it, regardless of high or low."

The sharp mind is already recalling Qiao Xin's previous words. It seems that the adult did say "the previous tribes used this number to count" rather than "the tribe's witches counted".

"Forget it, we haven't solved the problem of food and clothing now. Let's not mention this for now. Get up. You didn't offend me. After rest, let's continue digging chestnut potatoes!"

After getting Qiao Xin's permission, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ma Tian, ​​who was the first to kneel down.

He is an ordinary orc. His former tribal shaman has a very bad character. He likes to bring out some things or knowledge from time to time to seduce others. Once he is eager, he will be dragged out by the shaman and beaten to death or sold to other tribes as slaves. .

So when he heard Qiao Xin teaching them how to count, he subconsciously knelt down.

The orcs started digging chestnuts and potatoes again, but Qiao Xin was not very happy. She inserted the tree pieces into the last basket and collected all the chestnuts and potatoes piled on the ground into the space.

Getting a group of people who have been kneeling for a long time to stand up again is actually a difficult and time-consuming project.

As night fell, everyone was excited when they thought of the number of chestnut and potato baskets counted by Qiao Xin today, 327 baskets. After a busy day, they did not feel tired.

Huya was not running around with other cubs today, but was learning how to marinate bacon from an old orc.

Before going to bed, everyone was still discussing how many baskets they could harvest tomorrow.

Qiao Xin walked into the space before going to bed. More than three hundred baskets of chestnut potatoes harvested today were piled on the open space where she used to store supplies.

She only glanced at it and then stopped looking. She went to the spring first.

Compared to yesterday, the ground where the chestnut potatoes were planted has cracked, and through the cracks, Qiao Xin could see the enlarged rhizomes.

Qiao Xin did not feel happy. She frowned and said in a stern voice: "Xiao Ling, come out? Tell me what's going on? Did you waste your own strength to ripen these sweet potatoes?"

The spring is surrounded by a circle of white pebbles, which Qiao Xin specially picked up from the creek and river.

A shallow clear spring surrounded it, creating ripples.

Qiao Xin has been with Lingquan for a long time, and she can understand what Xiaoling wants to convey by looking at its ripples.

"No?"

"Then why do chestnut potatoes grow so fast? At normal speed, it would take at least five or six days to harvest, but it can be harvested in just two days, which is obviously more than double the previous speed."

The ripples began to ripple again.

"You don't know either?!"
