Wolf King

Winter has ended for a month and a half, and the temperature has warmed up slightly, but it has not seen much. It is still around ten degrees, and you will feel cool when you go out. Even the sun is cold.

But it is such a warm and cold spring... the weeds in the wild have already emerged.Xiao Yun stepped on the ground that was still hard after the thaw, and looked around, all he could see were green weeds emerging from the withered yellow and brambles and vines that sprouted green again after enduring the cold winter.

"Huh... that's it, everyone is ready to open up wasteland!"

There was no answer, and the [-] adult clan members including the patriarch all showed him their faces in bewilderment.

Well, when it comes to farming, it means that Xiao Yun is excited by himself. The clansmen have no idea about it, and Xiao Yun can't say anything...

Based on Xiao Yun's experience on the earth and the experience taught by the tauren, it can be seen that the sooner the wheat is planted in the cold temperate area of ​​the grassland, where the altitude is not high but the temperature is not high, the better. Then the first thing to bear the brunt is to open up wasteland— —The land here is indeed fertile, but it is all raw land, and there are no herbicides or pesticides in this world. To avoid the embarrassing situation of "the grass is full of wheat and the wheat seedlings are thin", more efforts must be made.

Xiao Yun chose to plant the wheat in the south of the tribe, between the tribe, the river, and the swamp. The crops need to be fully watered, and of course it is better to be close to the water source.

This land Xiao Yun walked back and forth countless times before and after winter. He had already conceived the land to be reclaimed in his mind, and now he was finally able to do it. Immediately command the clansman - prepare to burn the wasteland.

Cough cough, it doesn’t matter if you don’t burn it. This land is rich in natural water resources. There are dense bushes, vines and grasses. I don’t know how long it will take to dig with a hoe...

Anyway, the land was abundant, and in the first year of planting, Xiao Yun planned to open up two square kilometers of wasteland as a test field—Xiao Yun would not be reconciled if there were too few, and if there were too many, there would not be so many seeds, fertilizers, and manpower to take care of them.

Divide the wasteland into eight parts of different sizes according to the terrain, dig out the isolation zone one by one, let the tribe look good, and then set fire to the wasteland. During the burning process, pay special attention to those densely populated areas. I usually don’t feel this thing. Farming is a big hassle.

After burning the wilderness, according to the planting habit of the Snow Werewolf, that is, to sprinkle bean seeds on a large area and then leave them alone... It is not so easy for Xiao Yun, who divides the land into an average of about ten acres with a hoe on his back. Then they divided the hoes given by the tauren and asked everyone to turn the land.

It is said that there are cattle in the tribe, so we should try cattle farming, but there is no iron plow, and we rely on wooden plows to plow the hard ground. The workload of repairing a broken wooden plow may be more tossing than manual plowing... At first Xiao Yun also thought about asking the tauren for an iron plow, but the problem is that they are too tight to get enough... We can only hope that the dwarves can find mines and produce iron plows this year, and then they won't have to bother so much in the future.

Digging the soil and tools, the clansmen thought it was a simple job when they first came up, but it turned out... After a long time, the adults of the whole clan were so tired that their tongues dragged out of their elders, and they dug a big field ...

As far as this is concerned, Xiao Yun is still not satisfied:

"Didn't I say that we should dig and dig evenly? What's the matter with this one being deep and one being shallow!"

"Don't dig around the thorn roots! Dig out all the roots of this thing and throw it away!"

"I don't even pick up such a big rock and throw it away! It's still here!"

The clansmen stared at him with shame and aggrievedness, Dahe showed him his red claws that had been scuffed by a hoe, tears in his eyes, and the patriarch rubbed his old waist vigorously, his mouth pouted.

Xiao Yun and the gang of good-for-nothings stared at each other for dozens of seconds, then turned back to the tribe and called all the dwarves who hadn't left yet.

The dwarves have their own food at the moment, and the Snow Werewolf gave them two hundred sheep for them to take away as meat during the prospecting period. Zheng was very grateful to the Snow Werewolf, and when he heard that the Snow Werewolf wanted them to dig the land, he said nothing Just roll up your sleeves...

Not to mention, the dwarves are short and don't have to bend over to hoe the ground. They also have the talent of miners and are especially good at digging holes.

"Hey!" the female dwarf Sarah yelled, and with her thick and short arms, she waved a hoe and planed, and she turned over several kilograms of hard soil.

"Hey!" The revived dwarf Charles followed behind, smashing the large clods of compacted soil with a hoe.

"...Are you really proficient?" Xiao Yun wiped off his sweat and looked at the dwarf patriarch Balu.

Balu smiled honestly: "The tauren will ask us to help when they open up wasteland, and provide food."

Emotions are still skilled workers.

Stay a few more days for the dwarves to help dig the ground to solve the things that the clansmen are not good at, but Xiao Yun didn't intend to let the clansman be idle, and they all yelled to clear the roots and rocks in the field, and also learned from the dwarves by the way. Learn how to plow the land more efficiently. It is impossible to rely on others for your own farming business, right?

If they had been working from dawn to dusk for a week, two square kilometers...uh, almost [-] acres of raw land had been thoroughly searched, and the dwarves left to find the mineral veins they urgently needed.

The hardened ground has been dug deep by the dwarves for an unknown number of years, and it is not too much trouble to let the clansmen continue to plow it.This time the cubs didn't have to be idle, and all of them went to battle, using tools such as hoes, homemade wooden shovels, and homemade long-handled stone hoe to plow and plow the plowed land in the field, Make sure that the large clods are all turned into fine powder lumps and become softer.

Hmm... The whole clan, young and old, were left to work in the fields, and everyone was so tired that they rolled their eyes. The daily work of the clan had to be handed over to the cat clan members.Fortunately, it is the housework of grazing cattle and sheep, carrying water, cleaning and cooking food near the tribe. No matter how weak the scorpion is, it is always better than humans. The older cubs can wrestle with Thrall, which is quite considerate come over.

As for the matter that Xiao Yun promised to let the non-farming clansmen build houses for them, it is still on hold for the time being... Xiao Yun thought that the physical strength of the snow werewolves and livestock would be useful in farming, but he did not expect that the profession was not right. There must be a stage of adapting to learning... The main reason is that he has a big heart. He opened up such a large area of ​​land in the first year, and the snow werewolves are still human after all.

Finally, the raw land was reclaimed to look like a field. The work is not over yet—although the soil has been plowed several times and the soil has been turned over and over in the sun that is not too hot for several times, who knows the insect eggs inside? Has anything been killed?When the wheat seeds are sown, they will be eaten up by bugs, and the sprouts will not sprout. The hard work of these days will be fed to the dogs... er, to the bugs.

There are no pesticides, so Xiao Yun can only make his own pesticides.Those who grow flowers in his own home probably know that soaking garlic in water can kill insects, but Xiao Yun has nowhere to look for garlic—but it doesn’t matter, he asked Hongye to take the cubs to the edge of the jungle to dig a lot of wild garlic before starting the construction. , make do with it first.

Soak wild garlic in clay pots for more than five days, mix the soaked solution with water, wrap it in wild boar skin with poked holes, and sprinkle it first; then, make wild boar oil without any chemical additives (no need to add it if you want to) Mix the soap with soapy water and sprinkle it again—Xiao Yun doesn't know if this homemade insecticide will work, but anyway, if you try it, you won't get pregnant.

Even spraying homemade pesticides on [-] acres of land is not an easy task. The whole family, young and old, stayed up late at work and it took two days to get it done.Next, the soil and fertilizers that have been prepared before winter will come in handy.

Bird droppings, human and animal feces, humus in the woods, silt dug in swamps, household garbage such as various bones, hairs, plant ash, etc. piled up in one place to ferment for several months, and they have fully fermented and matured. There is a peculiar smell but not bad smell; these natural fertilizers are shoveled up and transported to the field, spread as evenly as possible, and then plowed twice after spreading to ensure that the soil and fertilizer can be quickly integrated.

The last plowing can't be done at will like before, and the ridges for planting have to be separated. This was considered a technical job for the Snow Werewolves before. The ridges in a large field are relatively straight...

After all, it is the first time to cultivate, and the seeds given by the tauren are not too much to waste. The distance between the rows of the fields is more than [-] centimeters, so that the snow werewolves will not easily step on the seedlings when they walk in between; Water once to make sure the soil is moist, and you can start sowing.

The Tauren gave the Snow Werewolf about three tons of wheat seeds, and also gave him a self-made measuring tool, that is, a utensil made of wooden planks similar to a bucket, and told him to sow a bucket of seeds per acre of land.

Xiao Yun weighed the load of this measuring bucket with his hands. It can hold about twenty catties of wheat seeds. However, the Snow Werewolf has no farming experience of the Tauren, and he also left the field ridges wider, so naturally he cannot sow the same amount as the Tauren. The number, about half of the seeds will do.

Naturally, even if we only sow half of the wheat seeds, that is, about 10 catties of seeds per mu, and 100 catties of seeds per field, this amount of wheat seeds is not enough to fill all the fields, but don’t we need to plant other crops~ It’s a waste no.

At midnight, all the clansmen were woken up and dragged to the field, and the 60 yuan field was patiently and meticulously sowed wheat seeds before the sun was bright. The clansmen screamed like a hypnotist, spreading black beans.

The bean seeds given by the tauren were not so many, so Xiao Yun planted all the black beans left by the clan, regardless of whether they were degenerated or not. No matter how you say it, it doesn’t make sense to leave the land master who has worked so hard for it idle, isn’t it?

The fields with the most fertilizers are all used to grow wheat and black beans, and the rest of the farming work is much simpler. The radish, green vegetables, and Chinese cabbage given by the tauren are all planted, and the remaining more than a hundred large fields are all planted. Alfalfa - Tauren raise sheep but don't graze them. Where does the pasture come from?Of course, it is the mouth teeth that have been planted~ the fresh and tender alfalfa can still be eaten, so to speak, it is also a dish.

Well, the plantain seeds that Xiao Yun kept for himself also had to be planted. These things are still useful in preventing and treating dysentery, so we can't rely on collecting them in the wild.

Finally sowed all the reclaimed fields, not to mention the clansmen screaming and screaming with exhaustion, Xiao Yun could hardly stand up... It's not like he just needs to be a supervisor and move his mouth, he does the same job as the clansmen He did not do less, and he did not do less work that the clansmen did not do.

But...it's still far from the time to relax and rest.For the crops to grow well, watering is indispensable. For the open space he left in each large field, he still needs to dig ditches to divert the river water and dig ponds to store water. Otherwise, let alone 300 mu of land, [-] yuan Datian, just picking water to irrigate the more than a hundred fields planted with important wheat seeds and black beans is enough to drive the clansmen crazy.

There is also the problem of adding fertilizers. Black beans can grow vigorously as long as weeding is done well. Wheat and alfalfa need phosphorus fertilizers.The fertilizer saved for the winter was used up before planting, and there were not so many natural phosphate fertilizer materials in the tribe, and each pile was a big project.

However, Xiao Yun is not some kind of devil. Since everyone in his clan is on the verge of collapse, it is appropriate to give him a few days of rest... Uh, the most important thing is that he is really standing fast now. I can't stop, if I don't take a breather, I really don't have the energy to catch the strong man.

The thin and transparent clouds floated lazily in the sky, and the sun shyly hid behind the gauze-like clouds, showing its silhouette. There was a little temperature in the sun, but it still didn't feel warm. This is after all the sowing work was completed. On the third day, the rain of the sun, as thin as a cow's hair, squirmed down on the ground like a competition with the sun to see who was more shy.

Uncle Ge You, Xiao Yun's cosplayer, was slumped at the gate of the prefabricated house, his feet stretched out outside the house, even after the rain had lightly sprinkled them, he didn't bother to move.Hongye, who was leaning on him and laying his corpse across the door, was conscious. He reluctantly tilted his head when he heard the sound of rain, and said in a voice that was not even a little bit out of breath, "You're drenched, Ayun."

"I see." Xiao Yun said weakly.

"Don't take your feet back?"

"Just wash your feet."

"You only wash one foot when you wash it?"

"..." Xiao Yun turned his head and raised his chin, "Qiaoqiu, come and help me lift my feet in."

"It's Autumn! Autumn!" Qiu complained as she put down her sweater needles, stepped over the corpse covered in red leaves, hugged Xiao Yun's knees, and dragged his legs that were stretched outside the door into the room.

"Aren't you afraid of being tired, Ayun? You are so tired that you can't move, and you were trying to make us work as hard as you wanted us to die." Hongye couldn't help but said.

"This is not right." Xiao Yun dragged his voice and said slowly, "Chang Tian said that he would not die after exhausting himself. If hunting encounters super powerful monsters, or if he can't hunt and is hungry, then he will die." It’s really going to die. You said we would rather be tired but not die, or really die, isn’t this a simple multiple-choice question.”

"...Anyway, I can't say no to you." Hongye stared at Dead Fish.

"Where is this? The Long March has just begun." Xiao Yun read slowly like an old man, "Have you seen those canals and ponds dug by the tauren? They want to grow rice and fields We require more water resources than ours. We don’t grow rice, but we still need water, so we have to do the water conservancy they do, and we have to do it better than them. For example, the river channel, we have finished the canals and ponds that the fields need. , we have to prepare to build the river, so that we are not afraid of the river flooding up in late summer and early autumn and washing our fields..."

"... Please, stop talking..." Hongye burst into tears... If she hadn't devoted herself to farming, she would have never known that working is such a hard job.

Xiao Yun'an, who cried about all the snow werewolf fighters like Hongye, closed his eyes and rested his mind at ease, and the house of rabbits who listened to their conversation was trembling with fright...

It is the most intuitive to see how hard the snow werewolves worked during the land reclamation and planting period. When they first came, the snow werewolves were so energetic. Every morning they were still sleeping in the tent, and the cubs of the snow werewolves came out to have fun. , laughter spread far and wide.

After the snow werewolves planted the land... especially after the cubs of the snow wolf tribe were called to work in the fields, the cats never heard their laughter, nor saw them play again— ——The snow werewolf cubs who came back from the field were all exhausted with rolled eyes, tongue sticking out, and stilted footsteps. They were so numb even to eat, and there was no expression on their faces. People are scary.

The cubs are all exhausted into this virtue, let alone the adult snow werewolves... At the beginning, one person could carry all the horns of the mantle, and when they get tired, they can fall asleep wherever they fall... …

The entire Snowwolf clan has grown up with this virtue, and the rabbit cat clan that lives in the Snowwolf clan will naturally get a horse...

But the Snow Werewolf never said from the beginning to the end that he would bring the mantle family to the field to borrow their cat's paws. He was so tired that he vomited blood or just let the mantle family do the lightest work ——Sitting in a warm house where the wind doesn’t blow and the rain doesn’t blow and weave, cook some food and drive off the flock, it’s really easy for the snow werewolves who are farming—this kind of preferential treatment is good at the beginning, and the more Later, Qiu Xin, the manul fighter, became more and more uneasy... They are all exhausted like dogs, is it really okay for us to be so leisurely? !

But Qiu didn't dare to say casually that we would do the same thing as you. First, the Snow Werewolf is the master after all, and there is no reason for them to make random decisions without their master speaking. Second, the Snow Werewolf is so tired that Qiu I'm really afraid that my clansmen will be exhausted within two days after going up... It's really exhausted to death.

With the complicated mood of wanting to take advantage but being unable to guard against guilty conscience, Qiu became more and more unconfident in speaking to Xiao Yun——Xiao Yun, the chief culprit who made all the snow werewolves rush to the streets, Qiu That is really scary.

Hearing the slight snoring of the two people who were blocking the door with the heating and blowing the floor, Qiu got up and took two pieces of animal skins to cover Xiao Yun and Hongye's stomachs. The door frame jumped out.

It wasn't just Xiao Yun and Hong Ye who "remained dead", the entire Snow Werewolf clan, old and young, were all slumped on the kang in the Datong shop and sleeping soundly.Entering the Datong room, Qiu first glanced at the head of the kang - the humans who were specially cared for by the snow werewolves like the rabbit cats were not there, and probably the delicious Flammulina velutipes were grown in the mushroom house again.

Qingyan on the end of the kang sat up, and was sitting and resting against the wall... Qingyan is stronger than the rabbit mantle, and he was classified among the cubs of the Snow Werewolf. Enough torment.

"Qingyan, are you better?" Qiu walked to Qingyan's sleeping position, and sat down on the kang like the snow werewolf, lowering his voice and whispering.

Qingyan's normally bright golden pupils are blank now, and he turned his head stiffly to look at Qiu, and his voice was so weak: "It's okay... I haven't had much rest before, and my whole body is sore after relaxing... ...Farming is really not easy, much more tiring than grazing and hunting... No wonder only tauren are good at farming..."

Qiu looked at Qingyan's weak face and his eyelids jumped. Among the cat clan, the black panther clan is the strongest clan second only to the tiger clan. Ten or so days of effort seemed to be squeezed out...

The cat tribe will capture weak small tribes to serve as slaves, and naturally squeeze them in the same way when driving slaves, but...Looking at the tragic situation of the Snow Werewolf's own family at the moment, and the collapsed appearance of the black panther warrior Qingyan, Qiu I really feel that the cat tribe is very gentle when oppressing slaves...

"The Snow Werewolf is really cruel to him." Qiufa sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Qingyan was silent for a moment, and his face twitched: "No...it's Ah Yun Ruan."

"..." Qiu recalled the situation when Ayun drove the howling snow wolves out of the house and dragged them to work in the field in the middle of the night, and he agreed very much, "...What a terrible cub." Climb up on the kang and approach Qingyan, "I heard what Ah Yun said to Hongye just now, saying that we will dig ditches and ponds in the fields like the tauren—"

Qingyan gasped, rolled his eyes, and slid down the wall.

The ox hair-like rain stopped for a long time, and the rabbit cats who had been knitting all morning went out of the activity room to clean up the sundries in the tribe and cook lunch—the snow werewolves were all immobilized, and that of Thrall Humans are weak in strength and body, not to mention the Snow Werewolves, and the rabbit cats are not at ease to let him cook food that can feed the Snow Werewolves.

After lunch, Qiu took the adults to graze, and the four cubs continued to spin and weave in the activity room.Amidst the creaking sound of the spinning machine shaking, Xiao Yun, who had taken a nap after eating enough, woke up, crawled to the spot in the house, grabbed the nearest cub and dragged it over to hug him, dazedly and again. Snoring.

The cub cub being hugged at the waist: "..."

Other cubs: "..." Silently pushed the hand spinning machine to a position within reach of the clansmen.

The young manul cub sighed like an adult, continued spinning in an awkward posture, and whispered to his friends: "Qing Yan is right, the snow werewolf sleeps very poorly."

The friends nodded again and again, this one said: "Yes, last time I saw Qingyan being hugged tightly by the horns like this."

That one said: "So we can't sleep on their kang, it's too dangerous."

Xiao Yun: "Huh...huh..."

On the fourth day after the sowing work, Xiao Yun, who had slept like a dead pig the day before, came back to life full of blood. Before dawn, he jumped up to wash and dress. Bang Bang knocked on the hoe: "Get up—work——!"

"Aww~~~~" The snow wolves, who didn't want to move at all, howled and refused while covering their ears.

Xiao Yun jumped onto the kang and made noise directly above the heads of the clansmen: "Get up—work—!!"

"Are you a devil!"

The Snow Werewolf with a well-developed sense of hearing couldn't bear this kind of brain-piercing sound, and while weeping and accusing Xiao Yun, he reluctantly got out of the bed...

Outside the tribe, the tent area of ​​the rabbit mantle clan.

Qiu who was awakened put his head out to look in the direction of the Snow Werewolf's house. He had seen the Snow Werewolves running out of the house in a panic with their heads in their arms several times, and they were no strangers to it.

"...What a terrifying snow wolf cub." Qiu sighed again.
