Savage Tribe Survival

Before the snow melted, some impatient weeds began to sprout green shoots from the thick snow.

There is no accurate division of time in this world. Except for some powerful witches, no one knows when spring will suddenly arrive.

So when Luo Zhen pushed the door out early in the morning and saw the touch of green at the corner of the room, she was still in a daze.

"Spring is here." Lu Zhan, who came out from behind, followed Luo Zhen's gaze, and couldn't help smiling when he saw the little sprout.

"Yes." The dangers they thought winter would come were not seen, and the traps prepared in advance had no effect other than catching a few wild beasts that came in by mistake.

With the breath of spring, the snow melted quickly, but the brown land could be seen in two days.

Luo Zhen took off the thick animal skin cloak and stretched her body. Before she could go out, a group of little kids rushed in.

"Big Wu, are you going to start land preparation?"

"It should be to dig the fish pond first. The big witch said before that he would catch those fish and bring them back to raise."

"Great witch, let's build the animal shed first. Aniang said that the female beasts are about to give birth at this time. Can we drink goat milk again?"

"I, I, I, I can catch cuckoo birds, I want to eat custard." A child raised his hands up and yelled loudly, for fear that Luo Zhen hadn't heard.

......

The children were so excited that they had been locked up in the tribe for a whole winter. Except for Ah Shui and the older ones who could go outside to play in the snow, the other young children didn’t even have a wooden house. I have been out, and today I heard that I can go out, and everyone can't wait.

Luo Zhen was worried that the tools they held in their hands would hurt herself, so she had to stop them, "Today we will dig the fish pond first, so hurry up and take your small tools to occupy the space, or there will be no space in a while Excavated for you."

The children cheered, surrounded Luo Zhen with all kinds of gadgets and went out.

The location of the fish pond has been planned long ago, because it is connected to the animal shed, and I was worried about the smell in the future, so I found a place downwind, a certain distance from the houses in the tribe.

When Luo Zhen arrived, there were already many people standing there, and Lu Zhan was digging furiously with a bone spade.

"Great witch." Seeing Luo Zhen approaching, other people greeted Luo Zhen one after another, and Luo Zhen nodded slightly in response.

"Did you come out to dig the ground in the middle of the night?" Luo Zhen looked at the deep pit, which was almost half the height of a person. Lu Zhan had a lot of dirt on his body, and the sweat slid down his forehead, and he wiped it with his hand Go, leaving a faint trail of mud.

The excavated soil was piled up on the side of the fish pond. Luo Zhen planned to organize a few vegetable fields beside the fish pond. When the time came, he would transplant some wild fruit trees and dig some wild vegetables back. There were not many people in their tribe. The wild vegetables grown in these few fields are enough for their daily consumption.

There is also a piece of land beside the fish pond to build animal sheds, and the excrement produced can be directly used as natural fertilizer in the vegetable field.

However, in order to prevent the water in the animal shed and fish pond from polluting the water source of the creek, Luo Zhen simply had someone dig a shallow channel on the wall of the ice city, waiting for the wall to melt , Snow water can flow directly into this fish pond, saving the need to divert water from the creek.

"No, it was already dawn when I came out."

Luo Zhen handed the food box brought out to the other party. The food box was made of wood. When Lu Zhan was bored, he hollowed out a whole piece of wood. It was square and polished very smooth, even if it was used to hold soup. Worried about leaking.

Holding the edge, Lu Zhan turned over and jumped out of the pothole, wiped his dirty hands casually with the snow that hadn't melted in time, took the food box and the chopsticks that Luo Zhen handed over, and started to eat.

Today I ate fried fish cakes. The mashed fish was mixed with bird eggs and fried until golden on both sides. You don’t need to pay attention to the fishbone that will hurt your throat. You can just put it in your mouth and chew it to swallow it. Although the taste is not roasted The fish is so fragrant, but it is very convenient to eat. Although Lu Zhan is not afraid of fish bones, he prefers this way of eating fried fish cakes.

The only downside is that there are too few ingredients, and the fried fish cakes are very loose and crumble when you pinch them.

"You guys are quite fast. It seems that you can dig this fish pond today." Luo Zhen praised with satisfaction, picked up the bone spade that Lu Zhan put aside, and wanted to go down and dig for a while.

Lu Zhan quickly reached out to stop him, "Don't you want to dig some wild vegetables nearby and plant them? The ability to identify plants consumes too much energy. Don't waste your energy on these things."

Luo Zhen thought about it and thought it was true, so he didn't insist anymore. After a winter's trial, he found that he could identify about ten kinds of plants a day, and if there were more, he would have headache symptoms. For rare plants like Tai Sui, he once He can only recognize one kind, and now he has gradually changed from the original passive recognition to being able to control the use of this ability by himself. Even if he usually goes out to dig wild vegetables, he does not need to bring thick animal skins as before. Gloves.

Everyone in the Riyao tribe participated in this fish pond digging activity. Because Tai Sui was discovered in the tribe before, this time Luo Zhen asked them to pile up all the grass roots they dug up, and wait for him to take a look at them all. Do it later.

When Luo Zhen came back from digging a large bag of wild vegetables nearby, Lu Zhan had already brought people to do the final finishing work on the fish pond. In order to prevent water leakage, in addition to tamping the dug fish pond, Luo Zhen also let them I went to dig some clay and spread it to the bottom of the pool and around it.

The river at the foot of the mountain was named Riyao River by Luo Zhen. In the lower reaches of the Riyao River, it was the shoal where Luo Zhen and his party found Cigu while washing when they first arrived. The silt there was sticky. Coupled with mud and glue mixed together, it can play a certain role in preventing leakage after tamping.

Luo Zhen also plans to use the silt there to try to make some mud bricks. There is a lot of rain in summer, and this winter, Luo Zhen found that the thermal insulation effect of those wooden houses is not good. Once the fire in the house is extinguished, the house will be able to It was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and he had long wanted to use a different material to build the house.

After much deliberation, the only thing they can produce now is mud bricks.

The orc warriors were strong and fast, and it didn't take much effort to pick up the mud back and forth between the two places. Before it got dark, they gathered the land by the pond into vegetable fields.

Luo Zhen didn't expect these people to be so efficient.

After all, it was the day when the snow was melting, and the temperature at night was still very cold. Lu Zhan came out with his wet hair still dripping, and saw that Luo Zhen was growing out some things that seemed useful but could not be identified for the time being. Green shoots of grass roots - planted in empty pots.

The weeds raised in winter have been eaten by them long ago. Luo Zhen's ability is that the plants cannot be identified if they do not grow in the soil, which is very tasteless and inconvenient.

"Can you improve your ability?" Lu Zhan took out a pot of water and put it next to Luo Zhen. Now he also knows a little about planting knowledge, knowing that the plants that have just been planted in the pot need to be watered, so that Easier to survive.

Luo Zhen washed his hands in the pot directly, then carefully poured water into the flower pots he had just planted, and then moved these flower pots back to the wooden shelf by the window one by one. Luo Zhen didn't need to put these grass roots No matter how well they are raised, his purpose is just to know what these plants are. When these grass roots formally take root in the soil, it will only take two or three days for him to use his identification ability.

"I don't know either." Luo Zhen shook his head. He also felt that this ability was very inconvenient, and if it wasn't for the plants he had known before, he could only recognize simple names for other plants. It's not poisonous, nothing more can be done.

Lu Zhan put the last potted plant on the highest wooden shelf, and sat back by the fire, "What wild vegetables did you dig today? Are you going to plant them by the fish pond tomorrow?"

"Some wild barley, as well as big thistle and plantain." They are all relatively easy to grow plants, and Luo Zhen doesn't have to worry that they will not survive, and he plans to save all the first batch of crops, Luo Zhen doesn't want to waste Time, he has to store enough things for the winter before the next winter, so just when spring comes, he can't wait to start preparing for planting.

Seeing that Lu Zhan had no intention of wiping that wet hair, Luo Zhen picked up a dry animal skin from one side and paste it on the other's head, "When will you change your problem of not washing your hair and not drying it? The weather is still so cold now, you are not afraid of a headache with your head covered in water?"

Luo Zhen exerted a little force, and Lu Zhan's scalp hurt from being pulled by him. Hearing the other party's hiss, Luo Zhen softened the strength in his hand.

"Isn't this with you here? You can wipe it for me. It's comfortable." Lu Zhan said truthfully. He never wiped it when he took a bath in the river before. After wiping it off for him, Lu Zhan went to wash his hair every day, and then wandered in front of Luo Zhen.

When Luo Zhen helped him brush his hair, he would comb it for him. The feeling of running his fingers across his scalp made Lu Zhan a little addicted.

Luo Zhen rolled her eyes helplessly when she heard the words, but the movements in her hands did not stop.

"The animals that used to live in the basin are also planning to migrate back? Are you going to hunt here for the first time or go outside the mountains?"

In the past month, Lu Zhan has not left the tribe again, and the various fishes stored in winter have been almost eaten. They caught too much in the Riyao River last time, and there were fewer fish in it. Many, Luo Zhen didn't want to think about the fish in that river for the time being, and if they didn't go hunting these days, they would have no other meat except for the weeds that had just grown nearby.

"In two days, after the fish pond and animal shed are built, I will take two soldiers to the outside of the mountain to check the situation. The animals in the basin have just returned. If we hunt aggressively, we will scare them away."

Luo Zhen nodded, "Alright then, when you come back from hunting, we're going to pick a batch of antler horses to come back."

"Are you going to start training the cavalry you mentioned earlier?" Lu Zhan looked up at him.

Luo Zhen pushed his head back, "Well, after our strength improves, we can try to attract some foreigners."
