Doing infrastructure construction with a big cat [farming]

"Feng, what's the matter?" The cry was so miserable that Qi Hui was frightened by him.

The boy was also terribly frightened by the two, and was involuntarily frightened by the sound, so he quickly ran away secretly while Qi Hui was comforting the little milk cat.

Qi Hui heard movement around him, and just wanted to look back, but before he moved, the little milk cat in his arms barked again, and quickly started to coax him.

When Qi Hui coaxed the little milk cat and turned back, the boy had already disappeared.

When the danger was lifted, Qi Hui didn't bother to think about where he had gone, and hurried back with the little milk cat in his arms.

"Hui, did you see a suitable place?" He asked happily when he saw him come back.

"No." Qi Hui shook his head and didn't say what happened just now.Seeing that the little milk cat in his arms was not as excited as before, Qi Hui put him on his shoulders and told him to sit down, and he was about to start working.

"Okay." He was a little disappointed, but with an optimistic personality, he quickly recovered, "Then let's take a look tomorrow." We will definitely find a good place.

"En." Qi Hui agreed, and then he will prepare the land with everyone. There are many people and the speed is fast. Half of this large piece of land will be cleared out that day, but it is also very tiring, especially since he has not worked hard for a long time. It hurts even more when I come down, but the people around me are still full of energy.

I am not suitable for this, the next day Qi Hui directly asked Mu to arrange people to go to the river, and he took a map to the other two rivers to see, intending to draw all the places suitable for sowing that he saw along the way.

Not only those who planted wheat, Qi Hui also recorded other sandy and clay lands separately. The only disadvantage is that the pens used are baked out of wood, and after writing on animal skins, they will be worn off after opening them a few times.

In order not to lose the things he wrote down, Qi Hui had to draw more, and he even drew a very complete one in the cave, adding to it every day when he went back.

If the one you brought out is blurred, quickly draw it according to the drawing in the cave. At the same time, Qi Hui is also looking for something that can replace this simple charcoal pencil. It is best to have a darker color and not fade.

These maps are very precious to Qi Hui. If something happens suddenly one day, the best escape route can be found through the map. The orcs rely on their own strength and don't consider these things. Qi Hui himself is not at ease. .

After wandering around the territory for five days, Qi Hui chose six places of different sizes to mark.Within a few days, Mu and his people had already sorted out two large and three small plots, and the last one was a bit difficult to handle.

That piece of land is huge, how big is it? Qi Hui doesn't know how much an acre is, so it's hard to estimate, but it's seven or eight times the size of the land below the mountain, which is a conservative estimate.

But it takes about half a day to go back and forth from the residence to the other side. If the half day is removed, there will be less time for working, and because of the long distance, sowing is also physical work. You need to eat a meal in the middle, and it takes a day. The remaining time is almost gone, which is very unsatisfying.

Whether to use it or not, this made Qi Hui entangled. In the end, Hushi brought new news at night, which made Qi Hui make a new decision.

Hushi said that the prey on the cat clan is getting less and less, and Maoqing has sent someone to ask him if he needs salt recently.

You must know that the Tiger Clan is usually anxious about changing the salt, and the Cat Clan is not in a hurry every time. This time I took the initiative to ask, and the situation must be not good.

The news brought by Hu Shi was a bit bad, no, it was very bad, which made Qi Hui nervous inexplicably.

After thinking about it all night, Qi Hui decided to use all the places he found to grow food.

At the same time, Qi Hui also plans to start planting early, although artificial watering may be required later.But the current situation is irrelevant.If the time comes because the food is not ripe enough to feed, then he will be guilty of a great crime.

It's just that the land is too far away, and it's still big.It took seven days for the people in the tribe to tidy up the place.

After all the land was leveled, Qi Hui led people to start planting. Because of the tools, planting was faster than land preparation.

It took five days to plant all the land, and then everyone should pick what should be picked and what should be hunted.

One day after half a month, Hushi came back from hunting at night, and he was not beaming like before.

"What's wrong?" Qi Hui asked nervously.There is a little trouble now, and he is worried that there will be problems.

"The prey has become less." Hu Shi said with a sad face.

"what?!"

The decrease in prey appeared suddenly without the slightest warning, which made people confused. People in the tribe could only go further afield to hunt.

The only gratifying thing is that the picking team picked a lot of things, which can satisfy some people's hunger.

What makes Qi Hui more satisfied is that the cabbage has already started to sprout and turn green, and now it is about a bunch long, and it will be ready to eat after a while.

Qi Hui took the time to look at the wheat seedlings, and they had already sprouted. However, before he was happy for a few days, he found that the surrounding area had begun to dry up.

Hushi and the others also discovered that this year's dry season came very early, and it came suddenly when everyone was not ready.

It turned out that the decrease in prey was also an omen, but no one guessed it at that time.

We can only hunt and pick as much as possible to prepare for the driest period.

The headaches of the dry season are not only the drought, but also the heat that comes with it.

The rise in temperature made it impossible for them to store their prey. After two days, the prey was completely inedible. Even the most experienced old man could not do anything about it.

Because there is a lot of salt exchanged this year, Qi Hui proposed a pickling method.But eating pickled things makes people thirsty, which makes people feel bad.

"Marinate." In the end, Hushi agreed with this decision, just be thirsty if you are thirsty, it is better than no food.

Next, after hunting every day, some of them will be sent to the back mountain. The old people in the back mountain will help to pickle the prey and store it in a cave with low temperature.

This lasted for nearly a month, and the drought became more and more serious. The water flow in the surrounding rivers became smaller and smaller, and gradually dried up. Until a month later, the small rivers were completely dry, and the water level in the big river dropped a lot.

Finally, on this day, the hunters went out for a walk, not only did not bring back prey, but they were also hungry.

"There is no more prey." Huyue looked at her youngest son, and said in despair, this year's dry season came too early, and the chubby black tiger has lost a lot of weight.

"Wow?" After all, he couldn't compare to his elder brother. Hei had just learned how to hunt and was left in the tribe not long ago. He didn't understand what it meant for his parents to return empty-handed.

"Is there no prey yet?" Qi Hui was pulled down by the rain, with the familiar little milk cat still in his arms.

"No more." Hu Shi beside Huyue shook his head. They turned into their original forms and ran for hundreds of kilometers. They didn't see any prey along the way, not to mention large groups of prey, and the single prey was gone. All the edible things on the territory have been captured, and now they can only watch the empty territory and wait.

No matter how far away they can go, whether there is prey or not is another matter. Those are other people's territories. If disputes are caused by robbing prey, people will definitely be injured. In the season when no prey can be found, no matter who is missing, it will be great Loss.

Moreover, entering the territory of other tribes will be regarded as provoking others. It would be bad if the surrounding tribes were worried about their own safety and came to besiege them.

"That night, let's start digging cabbage." Qi Hui looked at a piece of cabbage next to him, which had been surrounded by stones and branches. Everyone in the tribe knew that this was the last guarantee, and the cubs were not allowed to go in and play.

"If you eat it, what will you do with the rest of the time?" Huyue knew that this piece of food could be eaten, but it's best not to touch it if you think about it in the future.

"I can't find food anymore. I dug it out and put it in the cellar first. It's starting to dry now." Qi Hui looked at the cabbage leaves today. Even if it is a drought-resistant variety produced by the system, it cannot withstand the arrival of the dry season and will not harvest any more. It is lower than it is now, it is better to harvest it from now on and store it in the cellar to eat slowly.

As for what to do after eating this part of the cabbage, Qi Hui has thought about it. Some time ago, he gave the part of the prey that had no meat to the system. Now that the energy is at full value, a thousand catties of food can last for a period of time, and no one else What he knew was that he hid hundreds of catties of grain at the bottom of each cellar.

The system can only store a maximum of [-] energy points now. In order not to waste it, he exchanged the excess, which was originally used to resist the rainy season.If the dry season is too severe this time, we can only take it out and use it first.

There are quite a few in the cave where he lives, and he hides some of them in the two caves of Uncle and Eminem. He is worried about putting his eggs in the same basket.

Huyue and Hushi's concerns are planned from a longer-term perspective. After the dry season is the rainy season, when the grain is released, several people discuss it, and this part will not be moved if it can be moved.

Qi Hui is richer than they imagined, and the system is Qi Hui's last hope.

"Dig!" Hushi looked at the land, then at the cubs running down when he heard the sound, and made a decision. At worst, take out the food in the cave. If everyone starves to death, leave No amount of food will help.

The yield of cabbage was astonishing, but everyone was only happy for a while and then fell silent.More worry about the future, the wheat by the river is not mature yet, and it is uncertain whether it can be harvested.

There is also wheat, not only Qi Hui himself is full of worries about whether the dry season wheat can survive, everyone in the picking team regards wheat as the last hope, and some people go to see it every day and come back to tell others.

Now that the wheat is not growing, this is what is worrying. Everyone has already planned that if the wheat starts to dry up in two days, they will go to water it. Anyway, there will be no fruit every day.

That night, no matter whether they were picking or hunting during the day, they all gathered around the mountain to dig vegetables.Qi Hui asked them to support the pot at home and cook bacon with freshly dug cabbage.

The bacon is the one that was pickled at the beginning. Because there is a lot of salt, it is still very salty after washing with water. Now it tastes good when it is stewed with cabbage.

Qi Hui led a few people to cook several pots, and first served part of it for the little milk cat to eat. The little milk cat tentatively took a bite of the cabbage, then spit it out, obviously unwilling to eat it.

Qi Hui had no choice but to pick a few pieces of meat for him, but the taste of the meat was not good, and there was a slight smell of corruption. Seeing the little milk cat eating aggrievedly, Qi Hui felt distressed again.

"Hey, eat some cabbage." Qi Hui coaxed him.

The little milk cat ate it reluctantly, but was very picky and only ate the cabbage heart.

Satisfied to see him eating Qi Hui, he picked out all the choy sum in the bowl and ate the rest by himself.

"Meow~"

Qi Hui lowered his head and saw that the kitten on the stool had left two pieces of meat for him, so he laughed and praised him: "Feng is so good."

Here, the little milk cat nestled in Qi Hui's arms to sleep when it was full, and the rain and darkness on the ground dared to come over and hang around Qi Hui's feet.

They are both younger brothers, so Qi Hui definitely can't ignore them. He took out the vegetables in the pot and added new ones. He was afraid that the two cubs would burn too quickly and wait until they were cold before putting them down.

"Wow~" Hei rushed over first, he was very dissatisfied with the cabbage, and had no choice but to satisfy his hunger.

Rain has no wind and Hei is a picky eater. This is the best cub to feed. Seeing Qi Hui take it down and walk over, he will eat it obediently.

"Good." Qi Hui touched one by one, and the little milk cat in his arms woke up at some time, looking at him with an unhappy face, Qi Hui withdrew his hand under his gaze, and began to add wood to the bottom of the pot .

If you want to say that the most indispensable thing here is wood, it is surrounded by branches, and you can cut two trees casually. Qi Hui doesn't feel bad at all. When the second pot is opened, Qi Hui starts to call his family to come over for dinner: " Eminem, Uncle, Father, come over for dinner."

The three of them were already hungry, but they didn't want to snatch the first pot of cubs. Now they heard the sound and threw down the stone knife in their hands and came over.

There is no iron in this continent, and Qi Hui has no choice but to get handy farm tools. Now everyone uses stone knives for digging cabbage. The only advantage is that every family has several. Replacement.

"How much more?" Qi Hui asked them as he handed them the bowl. Beastmen can see clearly at night and dig cabbage without any effort. The characteristics of his parents, if he didn't have memories when he was born by Huyue, he would suspect that he was actually wearing them.

Huyue took over the wooden bowl, picked up the cabbage with the chopsticks Qi Hui gave them, and put it into her mouth. At first she didn't get used to it, but after a few mouthfuls she got used to it and felt fine. Some of them can be eaten for a few days." The orc's food intake is really too big, even a cub who has just learned to eat, eats twice as much as Qi Hui, let alone a half-sized tiger like Hei who is about to grow up.

"There's really no way to talk about it." Qi Hui poured out another bowl, "There are more after eating."

"It would be nice if there were more varieties." Hushi stood up and looked at the pile of cabbage. "I don't know how long this dry season will pass." The normal dry season is about 30 days, and now [-] days have passed. According to Hui, one month has passed, and there is still one month left. Hushi can only pray that Hui is right.

"It will pass." Qi Hui comforted his uncle, "There is really no way we can move."

"Moving is too difficult." Hushi is not very optimistic. The tribe needs to move across the territories of several races. During the dry season, all orcs will be vigilant, and it is not easy to pass by their territories.

"Let's eat first, uncle, and we'll talk about it after eating all of these," Qi Hui persuaded, "If the dry season hasn't passed after eating all these, I'll go to the prey collector to borrow some of the food."

"Borrow?" The orcs only trade things for things, and don't know the word borrow.

"Just eat his food and return it when we have prey," Qi Hui explained.

"Is this... okay?" Hu Yue was the smartest, and quickly understood Qi Hui's meaning, but he was full of doubts about whether others would be willing. In a season when everyone is short of food, will someone give them food.

"It's ok, Emma, ​​don't worry." Qi Hui assured her.

What Qi Hui didn't expect was that there would be a surprise tonight: the system has been upgraded from level [-] to level [-], and the corresponding energy storage value has also increased, now it is [-], and there is an additional crop: radish.

It's just that it's useless now. Qi Hui looked at the cabbage field under the mountain by the moonlight. Without water, nothing can be planted.

…………

The existence of cabbage made the tribe persist for ten days. This is the result of everyone eating as little as possible. It’s just that those who go out to hunt can’t go out hungry, at least they have to eat half full before going out, because I’m not sure if other tribes around People came to provoke.

The orcs who had no food were extremely irritable and easily fought. Qi Hui was very worried every time they left. His family members were the leaders of the tribe. .

It's just that the hunting team went out every day, but they didn't bring back much, and they were all small prey. After eating the cabbage, they brought back a few chickens that day.

"I happened to meet them, but it's a pity that there are only a few of them." Huyue threw down the chickens, a little regretful that the number was too small.

"It's not bad." Qi Hui comforted her, "It's better than nothing."

"I'm going to kill chickens." Huyue picked up a few chickens and went with Hutian to a place with water to kill chickens.

Hu Shi who stayed behind said to Qi Hui: "Hui, your mother... seems to be pregnant."

"Huh?" Qi Hui was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect it to be like this, and then asked Hu Shi awkwardly, "How did uncle know?"

Hu Shi was also very embarrassed. Orcs are generally not shy, but for a tiger who has never had a partner, he only cares about his sister and her children: "Hu Tian said."

"Oh." Qi Hui didn't expect that Hutian's character would tell others.

If you are pregnant, you should eat something good. Qi Hui climbed up the mountain and found a place where no one was around and asked the system: "System, do you have any meat?"

[Inferior fry, 10 energy/catties. 】

Qi Hui finally came out with two catties of small fish fry, squeezed out the internal organs with a little water from the cave, washed them and put them in a pot to cook with wheat.

The cabbage was gone, and Qi Hui opened a cellar to divide the wheat. There are still three cellars left, and I don't know how many days they can last.

In the next few days, Qi Hui would cook a bowl of fish for Huyue every day, and leave the rest of the fish for the little milk cat. Except for the two of them, everyone else ate ordinary bacon and boiled wheat.

This dry season was extremely difficult for the tribesmen, but what people didn't expect was that after the dry season had passed, some tribes came to join them.

"White Tiger Tribe?" Qi Hui looked blankly at He who came to call for someone. Where is the White Tiger Tribe?

"The White Tiger Tribe is the family of Huyue's and me's mother." Hu Shi saw his doubts and explained to him.

Huyue's aunt's aunt...Qi Hui counted the relationship on his fingers, is this Huyue's grandma's house?The relationship is quite distant, but in the end they are related by blood, Qi Hui thought to himself when he watched Hushi go to the next door to call Huyue, which was not at all like the tribe's resistance when he came over some time ago.

Qi Hui didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, at night, dozens of people came out of the tribe. Most of these people lived in caves at the bottom of the mountain. Hushi said that they would allocate places after the dry season passed.

Among them was another person that Qi Hui had met, that was Bai Yuan whom he had met last time. When he saw him this time, Qi Hui was startled. It turned out that the healthy boy was skinny and skinny.

"There is nothing in the tribe." The leader of the White Tiger Tribe explained to them, "There are no rabbits, no chickens, the ants have moved, the tribe can't find food, and several people have starved to death. There is nothing we can do. gone."

He took people to secretly see the people of the tiger tribe who went out to hunt. Everyone was similar to before the dry season, and although they were disappointed when they didn't bring back their prey every day, they were different from other tribes.He thought for a long time before deciding to join the Tiger Tribe.

Hushi has already agreed, of course it is impossible for Qi Hui to refuse, besides, it is useless for him to refuse, he has never been the head of the tribe.

It's just that there are more people and more food to eat. After dividing the food in Huyue and Hutian's cave, Qi Hui saw that two and a half months have passed since he made the records.

There were [-] energy left in the system, and the other [-] was used by him to feed Huyue. After all, it was his mother, so Qi Hui couldn't turn a blind eye.

A few days ago, he also brought out a batch of cabbage seeds and planted them in the place closest to the river, just in case, if the dry season is too long, there will be no nothing in the second half.

It's just that the remaining [-] energy can't last long, just when Qi Hui was wondering how to live after eating this part of the food, the little milk cat suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

"Meow~" The little milk cat scratched Qi Hui's body with its paws, and crawled to his face when the man woke up, meowing non-stop.

"What's wrong?" Qi Hui got up and hugged him in the dark.

"Meow~"

"It's raining!" Qi Hui heard someone shouting outside.

"Hui, are you awake?" followed by Hushi's voice.

Qi Hui put on his clothes and promised him: "Wake up, come in, Uncle."

Only then did Hu Shi open the door and come in, and helped Qi Hui light a fire with the fire he brought, and said to Qi Hui excitedly, "Hui, did you hear that it's raining?"

"I heard you, Uncle, it's raining." The rain means that the dry season has passed, and although it was only in the middle of the dry season a few years ago, Qi Hui couldn't think about it so much, he just felt that he could finally relax .

Early the next morning, everyone in the tribe came out, no matter the old man or the cub, they all came out this time to meet the rain in order to save energy.

"It's raining, that's great." Qi Hui looked at the drizzle, although there was only a little, but it gave people hope.

"Hui, do you want to start growing cabbage?"

Qi Hui turned around and saw that it was Mu. Under his leadership, everyone said cabbage. Although the pronunciation was a little strange, they could be heard.

"How about planting again tomorrow?" Qi Hui subconsciously felt that this exciting weather should take a day off, "Everyone, let's take a rest today."

"Hui rest, let's plant," Mu anxiously made a decision, and felt that what he did was wrong, so he asked Qi Hui tentatively in a low voice, "Hui, is it okay?"

"Yes." Qi Hui nodded, of course he wouldn't say no to other hardworking people, "Wait for me, I'll look for it."

Qi Hui went into the cave, thought about the area under the mountain, and the people in the tribe, and finally decided to exchange thirty catties of cabbage seeds, and took out about five catties to give away: "Mu, these are the seeds, if you don't have enough, I'll ask for it later. "

"Okay! Hui! I'm going to plant it now." Mu looked at the seeds in front of him, his eyes filled with surprise. He didn't expect that there were so many, so many seeds, enough to fill the mountain and feed the tribe for several days. He found a new place to continue planting, so that everyone would not have to starve in the future.

"Go and get busy." Qi Hui felt that he needed to take a rest. He started to prepare since he discovered that the dry season was coming early. After so many days of worrying and fear, he calculated whether the energy in the system was enough every day, and finally stepped on the passing line to make everyone in the tribe safe. Having survived, he can relax.

Qi Hui, who was free, was lying on the bed with the kitten in his arms, not knowing what to think about. From birth to the end, I don’t know why, the memory suddenly stayed at the time when he was just walking, and the wind was at his feet, afraid that he would fall scene.

At that time, I had just learned to walk when I was just one year old. Hu Shi went out to hunt and put them in the water.

When Shui went out to look for animal skins, Qi Hui tentatively grabbed the stone next to him and stood up and walked to the side. The little tiger turned around around him, and every time he had a tendency to fall, the little tiger would always be under him Holding on, Qi Hui always felt that it was a coincidence and the little tiger was sensible, but now he suddenly felt wrong.

His younger brother Hei Li has grown up for less than three years, and he is no different from Feng's younger brother Yu, except that he is a little bigger and has already gone out with his parents to learn how to hunt.

In the past, Qi Hui didn't have much contact with his younger brother, so he didn't notice any abnormalities, but this time during the dry season, because all the food was at his place, and Hei was pestering him every day, Qi Hui felt the difference.

Hei is not very sensible, not in a derogatory sense, but understands things around him and other people's words on a par with Yu, and seeing his parents take it for granted, it shows that Hei is normal.

Qi Hui recalled that the other cubs in the tribe seemed to be very dark. They only ate and slept every day. When they reached a certain age, they were taken out by their parents to learn to hunt. They would be happy if they caught prey, but they might be sad for a while if they didn’t catch them. You can play by chasing your own tail.

Only Feng is different. Feng has been very sensible since he was a child, and even more so when he grows up. The first time he learned to hunt was when he was 15 years old. deer.

What did he think?Qi Hui tried hard to recall, he seemed to think that the prey killed by Hu Shi was for him to hold in his mouth, so when Feng brought the prey to him, he just patted his head and praised him.

Qi Hui continued to think, what's strange about it, by the way, Feng is very obedient, he can understand what he says, and he will get angry when he sees him talking to others, so he needs to coax him.

Regardless of this, Qi Hui firmly believes that Feng can understand his own words, because he has followed Feng more than once and said that he expects him to transform into a human form, and Feng can't wait every time he hears this sentence.

Finding out these doubts, Qi Hui found that nothing was right. He looked down at the little milk cat on his body, well, he was snoring on his stomach, and Qi Hui, who was planning to question him, held back a word in his mouth.
