Savage Tribe Survival

Although the life style of the orcs is still in the simple stone age, but their hands-on ability is very strong. With Luo Zhen, the instructor who provided ideas, and Luka, the person with production experience, an afternoon of work, horned bamboo He Hei Ya has already learned how to make bone knives, and even Ah Shui can use a small bone to polish a small knife for himself.

Orcs without hunting and gathering tasks are very free. Some warriors will meet to practice fighting skills. Ordinary people will take care of their tents, look after their children and prepare their daily meals.

Luka was called away halfway. I heard that the big witch wanted to personally entertain the foreigner who came from afar, so only Luo Zhen and Lu Zhan were left to eat at night. At least, after the Jiaozhu family left, Luo Zhen felt a little deserted.

"Is there only barbecue tonight?" Lu Zhan started wandering around inside and outside the house again without outsiders.

After polishing the bone knife for a day, although she got a fairly satisfactory finished product, Luo Zhen still felt that her whole arm was sore and numb that it didn't look like her own, so naturally she didn't have the heart to eat any more.

"There's still bone soup there, drink more, it's nutritious and good for your wound recovery." Luo Zhen pointed to the stone pot that was still boiling the bone soup, and signaled Lu Zhan to fill it up himself.

"Are you tired?" Lu Zhan saw that Luo Zhen had been rubbing his palms, put a bowl in front of him, and picked out the bones together. He didn't like drinking this meaty soup very much. , but he likes to crush the bones and suck the smooth and tender bone marrow inside.

Luo Zhen gave the other party a blank stare that was not nonsense, but Lu Zhan threw the matter of polishing the bone knife to Luka, probably because there were outsiders around and he didn't want to be too energetic, so he just fell asleep for a day, until the corner Bamboo and the others woke up after leaving, and they were full of energy at the moment. If he was asked to hunt a prey and come back, it is estimated that the other party would really be able to fight the beast without saying a word.

"Didn't Jiaozhu give you a piece of rock salt? Why do you still use salted fruit to cook meat?" Lu Zhan picked the salted fruit dregs into Luo Zhen's fruit shell bowl and asked curiously.

"That piece of rock salt has too many impurities. I want to refine it before using it." Luo Zhen handed the bone knife to the other party, and motioned Lu Zhan to scratch a few times on the barbecue, and then squeeze some green pear juice on it. The green pear tastes sour and astringent. , can not only increase the taste, but also relieve the greasy taste of barbecue.

"Refining?" Lu Zhan heard this word for the first time, and was a little puzzled.

"It is to pick out the things that are not salt, so that the taste of salt will be better."

Lu Zhan understood. He also felt that there was a muddy smell in the rock salt. He didn't like it very much. It would be good if the mud inside could be removed.

"I just heard from Luka that he wants to stay in the tribe through the winter."

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Zhan threw away the bones and went to cut the barbecue. Because there were outsiders around at noon, he didn't eat enough. "He is different from you. The big witch doesn't like foreigners on the opposite side of Changfeng Mountain?"

Luo Zhen was taken aback, "Why?"

Lu Zhan shook his head. He was not liked by the big witch either. He had heard from an old soldier who had taken care of him before that it had something to do with his father leaving the tribe and going to the opposite side of Changfeng Mountain and never coming back.But he had never seen anyone come here over Changfeng Mountain, and he didn't know if it was because of this.

"Changfeng mountain is guarded by a bird with a face. How did you go to the tiger and lion tribe to exchange rock salt?" Luo Zhen asked the question he had been asking all along.

"Don't you know? Human-faced birds go into estrus every three years. They are busy incubating their offspring and won't come out to hunt throughout the spring. We took advantage of that time to cross Changfeng Mountain. Your tribe should You should also send soldiers out to exchange." Lu Zhan once secretly followed the exchanged soldiers to the foot of Changfeng Mountain, and saw people from other tribes.

Luo Zhen nodded, skipped the question behind Lu Zhan, and asked another question: "Is it still long before winter?"

Lu Zhan bit the bone until Luo Zhen heard it, and Luo Zhen felt toothache, "It's not too long, it's almost two months. After a while, the tribe will have the last big hunt, and the hunting team will leave for a month Around, when they come back, winter will come."

"Going hunting for so long?"

"Of course, they have to hunt enough prey for the whole tribe to eat in winter."

Luo Zhen frowned, "Aren't you going to go hunting again in winter?"

Lu Zhan gave him a look like an idiot, "Let's not talk about the human-faced bird, other beasts will become several times more fierce than usual when they are hungry in winter, and those beasts in the Southern Foot Plain also have a chance Come out to hunt, do you want the soldiers to be their food in winter?"

Luo Zhen touched his nose, Lu Zhan saw that Luo Zhen had only drank a little soup before he had time to eat, and the large piece of roasted beef leg was eaten by himself, almost leaving bones, Lu Zhan looked at the meat in his hand Holding the last piece of meat, after thinking about it, he cut off the remaining meat, picked a few grass leaves nearby and handed it to Luo Zhen, then turned back to the tent and took the catfish that he hadn't had time to eat. come out.

After being stuffed by animal skins for a day, the smell of the catfish has changed a bit. Lu Zhan put it under his nose and sniffed it, with disgust on his face.

Luo Zhen looked amused, seeing that the other party wanted to skewer it directly on a wooden stick and put it on the fire, she quickly stopped it, "You clean up the internal organs of the catfish first."

Before Jiaozhu left, he helped Luo Zhen fill up the water in the big wooden stake. Now they still have enough water to use. Lu Zhan obediently scratched the belly of the catfish with a bone knife, and scoured the belly of the fish with his hands. The viscera slipped out.

After cleaning the whole fish with water, Luo Zhen continued to marinate the catfish with sour green pear juice. Although the ingredients were simple, it could at least cover up the fishy smell of the catfish and the smell of spoilage after being bored for a day. .

Lu Zhan dug a deep pit by the fire, buried all the unwanted fish viscera in it, and then filled it up with soil. After finishing it, he found Luo Zhen staring at him blankly, and couldn't help explaining: "Don't put the fish offal? Bury these things, and those beasts with sharp noses will be attracted to them."

Their tent was located at the outermost edge of the tribe. Although the surrounding beasts had been cleaned up by the soldiers, they did not dare to take it lightly. The beasts that could be touched near the tribe were much more cunning and vicious than those they actively hunted.

Luo Zhen came back to his senses. In fact, he was not curious about Lu Zhan's act of burying the fish's internal organs, but was thinking about another problem. There are still about two months before winter. This time is not long or short. , although it was too late for some plants that needed to bloom and bear fruit, but for some wild vegetables that could be eaten as long as they grew, this time was enough for him to harvest a batch.

Luo Zhen patted his forehead. Why didn't he expect to plant a batch of wild vegetables? In the past few days, he found two kinds of wild vegetables that are more suitable for planting near the tribe. One is plantain, which is more abundant. And the other is wild barley.

This kind of wild barley is different from the ones sold in the supermarket. Luo Zhen only found two near the tribe. They are more than two meters high, with big and long leaves. The leaves have to be torn into several pieces, the stems in the middle are old and hard, so they are not suitable for eating.

Luo Zhen didn't dare to pick and eat this kind of wild barley when she first discovered it because she was not sure. After observing for a while, she found that some birds would occasionally fly down to peck at it, and she also saw a few hares nibbling on the leaves of the vegetable. This is the scene to dare to pick.

Although the number of plantains is more than that of wild barley, the surrounding weeds are too lush, which completely inhibits their growth. It is also very troublesome to search for plantains in the grass. The most important thing is that these two things are very easy. Growing, as long as there is sunlight and water, they can grow quickly. For a novice like Luo Zhen who only knows how to grow clouds, it is the best material for practicing hands.

Taking a step back, even if he doesn't succeed in planting, he has nothing to lose except wasting a little time, but if he plants it, at least he doesn't have to worry about running out of wild vegetables throughout the winter.

Luo Zhen did as soon as he thought of it, and he planned to open a piece of land next to the tent.

Lu Zhan: "..." Why did the person who was preparing to make grilled fish suddenly run to the side to cut grass?

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhan wiped the dirt off his hands with a blade of grass and walked over.

Luo Zhen put the cut weeds aside. The weeds here were almost knee-high, and they could be directly used as firewood after drying. Now the firewood they burned was saved by Lu Zhan before, and it would probably last about two or three days. , so Luo Zhen didn't intend to waste these weeds.

"There is only one bone knife to plan the dirt." Luo Zhen looked at Lu Zhan, his eyes rolled, so Lu Zhan, who had slept all day without sharpening the bone knife, was caught by Luo Zhen and made one at night The simple stone hoe came out, and by the way, he turned over all the soil where Luo Zhen had cut off the weeds.

When Jiaozhu came over the next day, what he saw was a piece of land that had been turned over at the door of Lu Zhan's house overnight. The soil on it had been loosened, and large stones had been carefully picked out and piled aside. Luo Zhen, on the other hand, was sleeping beside the firepit with a hoe covered in mud, and there were a few red spots on her body that were bitten by mosquitoes.

I'm used to this kind of itching, so it's impossible for these few red spots to wake up Luo Zhen who was tired all night.

Jiaozhu: "...what are you doing?" Jiaozhu walked into the tent and saw that Lu Zhan had woken up and was leaning on the stone bed, eating wild fruits.

"He said he wanted to grow vegetables." Lu Zhan touched the leaves tied to his wound without any trace. Yesterday's digging made his wound a little painful. Is it because he behaved too normally, or because Luo Zhen suddenly The idea of ​​farming that popped up was so exciting that it made the other party forget that he was still a seriously injured patient?
