Wolf King

Some people in the modern society are crazy about the so-called "organic food". Merchants can directly increase the price of the product by more than ten times by labeling vegetables as "organic". The profit margin is infinite; as far as Xiao Yun knows, there are such A group of colleagues who went downstairs to buy egg-filled biscuits and always disliked that the street vendors were two yuan more expensive than the ones in front of the school, often paid IQ taxes on them.

This group of superstitious people who are so superstitious about health and organics, those with mild symptoms can go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, while those with severe symptoms can't see the vegetables in the vegetable market, and have to drive to the suburbs of the city to buy the so-called non-altered vegetables grown by farmers. Pesticides are full of wormholes, so you can rest assured...

Looking at the Chinese cabbage in which the outermost three layers were rotten, and the inner vegetable leaves were pitted, and the heart immediately fell out of the Chinese cabbage, Xiao Yun sighed——It would be great if this vegetable could be sold in modern times. The price can be called by him without any counter-offer.

Rubbing his forehead, Xiao Yun looked around at the large cabbage fields that were either eaten by bugs or pecked at by birds, and the bugs were also eaten by the way, and there were only countless words of MMP to say in his heart.

Snow werewolves have their own beast deterrent BUFF, a group of snow werewolves are digging ditches around every day and shouting, there are no wild boars and rabbits in the vast farmland, but the two little thieves, insects and birds, are inevitable... Other directions Fortunately, the big field closest to the swamp has almost been destroyed by more than one-third of it-this is a vegetable field of more than three acres!

Xiao Yun squats on one end and loves his own vegetable field, and on the other end there is a group of chirping birds jumping around, causing disasters to the Chinese cabbage like a dinner party... After the swamp enters summer, mosquitoes breed, which is the time to attract birds. There are more "natural salad fields" next to the swamp. It would be strange if these birds could be polite to you.

"It's not good... I have forgotten that there are such scumbags as birds... Uh, there are also birds, the sworn enemies of farming peoples." Xiao Yun stared at dead fish eyes, "Peck some Chinese cabbage and forget it , if you turn around and peck the wheat, what the hell——!"

He stood up suddenly with a fierce look on his face, but those salad party birds were not afraid of him at all, and kept pecking what should have been pecked.

Isn't it true that if you can fly, you are afraid of you with two legs?

Blue veins appeared on Xiao Yun's forehead.

After half an hour.

"Meow——!"

The fluffy, vigorous catcat suddenly jumped out from behind the prostrate field ridge, snapped off the neck of an unknown bird with a wave of its claws, and bit the other into its mouth with one big mouth; cheerfully discriminated against the two-legged beast The flock of birds suddenly clattered and fluttered their wings, but before the birds could reach a safe height, another mantle jumped out, another mantle jumped out, another mantle jumped out...

"Not bad." Xiao Yun stood up and applauded after the rabbit cats finished hunting and the remaining birds flew away in panic, "If you catch as many as you want, you'll have another meal, and this vegetable field will not be collected. Come over when you have time." Squat down."

In modern society, it would be perfectly illegal to cull these beautiful birds of various colors, but in this world... it's better to pull them down!Let's talk about protecting wild animals and so on when you become the top of the food chain!

Qiu spat out the bird's feathers twice, and walked back in the appearance of a manul: "These birds don't have much meat."

"It's just meat." Xiao Yun pointed in the direction of the wheat field, "Catching the birds here is just training, and it's actual combat when the wheat ears hang. If we don't teach the birds around us a lesson, then we'll sweat in the wheat fields." Hey...feed these beaks."

Qiu thought about it too, and turned around to greet the people of the tribe to transform back into human form and put on clothes. The adult mantles continued to collect vegetables, and let the young mantles take the bird meat back.

Chinese cabbage has been planted in three large fields, which is about [-] mu. Although it has been plagued by birds and insects, the yield is quite amazing-such fertile black soil, carefully plowed land, and For fertilization or something, the yield per mu would have to be three or four thousand catties; even if only overripe Chinese cabbage with rotten leaves was harvested, it would cost tens of thousands of catties. Heap, that scale is indeed a bit surprising...

Busy until dark to take back the Chinese cabbage that should be harvested, the clansman looked up at the vegetables grown by such an old man, and it felt super unreal.

"There's food to eat again!" Niu Jiao couldn't help swallowing.

The period from the end of spring to the harvest in summer is called green and yellow in Chinese terms. Wild vegetables were cut off half a month ago in the tribe, and they can only eat meat and enoki mushrooms every day. People who are not picky eaters like ox horns are a bit tired of eating. up.

"...It's so good to farm!" This is the patriarch's subconscious emotion. Turning over the land that is usually not very useful, and sweating can get so much food. It's not just a one-off. Young and old, this is tantamount to saying that the clansmen will never be short of food—why didn’t he think of letting the clansmen learn how to farm the tauren before? work hard...

"Suddenly felt that digging the soil and sowing wasn't too tiring." Dahe excitedly said, "We have planted so many fields, and we can always receive edible things from the fields, which is really great."

"Yeah!" Green Grass nodded frantically at the side. Although harvesting vegetables from the field is tiring, it makes people very happy and very satisfying. The vegetables received are much more than wild vegetables collected aimlessly in the wild .

"Okay, everyone is tired and hungry all day, eat first, and then go to the cellar for storing vegetables." Xiao Yun clapped his hands to bring everyone back to life.

A large number of vegetables can reduce the consumption of meat, and can also balance the absorbed nutrients, so that the clansmen will not have difficulty in excretion due to the lack of vegetarian fiber - it is actually unhealthy for an adult snow werewolf to excrete once every five days. After eating Flammulina velutipes all winter, the excretion rhythm accelerated to once every four days before he realized this problem.

The dinner is still culled ram meat... Among the original 600 sheep in the tribe, rams accounted for the majority. After eating for a whole winter, 500 dwarves have been given away. Now the tribe still has more than [-] rams. Sheep and more than [-] ewes are enough to eat when the wheat is harvested-the ewes cannot move, and one or two hundred rams are enough.

As for the curvy-horned cows, try not to slaughter them unless they are sick... The cows are kept to give birth, and the bulls are used for breeding, to try cattle farming, and to save them for emergency in case the pottery cannot be exchanged for salt.

Eating the crispy, tender and refreshing Chinese cabbage stewed with mutton bones in the earthenware pot, Xiao Yun went through the most urgently needed supplies of the tribe in his heart. The first thing that came out, and the one that caused him the most headache, was salt.

Originally, the Snow Werewolves had enough salt to go to the human caravans in autumn, but with a group of manuls, and later they had to support the gray dwarves who had been looking for mines for almost two months, the salt was very tight... …

What's more, for the tribe, there is no extra salt: Chinese cabbage is easy to store, and the summer temperature on the grassland is not too high, just dig a deep enough cellar and hide it in it to eat slowly; but green vegetables and radishes are not good, they need to be stored for a long time or Just like the tauren, dry radishes and vegetables, or they have to be pickled with a lot of salt.

If you don’t have enough salt, you can’t use it to pickle vegetables, but if you dry radishes and vegetables like the tauren... um... the tauren often don’t bother to dry them, so they take radishes and vegetables to send off to other tribes!Qiu's original tribe did not eat less of the tauren's free food!

"It would be nice if there was a salt well closer...or closer to the sea." Xiao Yun sighed secretly.

The problem of lack of salt is not to say that there is no solution. The tribe has now moved to the southwest border of the grassland. After walking out of the tribe for two hours, you can see the outer edge of the jungle. Then, walking south along the outer edge of the jungle, you can theoretically Go to the seaside——the inland sea between the northern mainland and the southern human kingdom has a land border, otherwise it cannot be called an inland sea, which is relatively safer than the sea, and the border is covered by jungles range.

Being able to go to the seaside, no matter boiling salt or drying salt, is definitely more economical than trading with human caravans, but... manpower!There is no manpower to send out, this is the problem!

Letting the mantle go is tantamount to letting the mantle die. The manticore, which Ah Shan can drive away independently, can easily kill Qiu. Xiao Yun has already confirmed this with Ah Shan and Qiu.

And let the Snow Werewolf go... at least for now, right now, that's really impossible!

On the grassland in spring and early summer, there is only plenty of rain, but from mid-summer to autumn, when it rains, it rains like crazy. It is not uncommon to see no rain for more than ten days and half a month after being dry. This is what the tauren specifically told him. Be sure to fix the water storage pond before the end of summer!

This is tantamount to sending out the snow werewolves who are the main labor force at an important moment when they are competing with God for time to repair the farmland and water conservancy?Unless he doesn't expect the crops to come through this year.

"Population, population..." Xiao Yun raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, "If there are more snow werewolves, even if there are ten or twenty, there is no need to be so hasty. Now they are completely using the clansmen as livestock. That's how the population squeezes the labor force... well, it's time to implement the manpower plan."

Ah Shan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yun, suddenly felt a chill, stopped eating vegetables, and looked around blankly, not knowing where the chill came from.

"Ashan, don't you like vegetables? Then give me your vegetables." Niujiao saw that Ashan was looking around, and immediately handed over the bowl unceremoniously.

Ah Shan ignored him, and moved his chopsticks like flying, picking vegetables into his mouth.

Niu Jiao had no choice but to look at other people's bowls... The family used the shared spoon and chopsticks to take meals from clay pots, and the clan no longer practiced the troublesome meal sharing system. However, all the dishes in the six large pots were robbed. There are only floating sheep bones and a small amount of meat left - this is cheap when there are enough vegetables. The bone soup can cook vegetables at least three times. Consumption is directly reduced by half.

All the grassland people who have eaten meat for N years have no idea that meat is more valuable than vegetables, especially Chinese cabbage, which is quite oil-absorbing, tastes more delicious than meat when cooked in mutton bone soup... ox horns He snatched five big bowls of food in one go, and he still felt unsatisfied with it.

Seeing the bull's horn-eyed look, the cubs offered their own small bowl with a few vegetable leaves in it.

Niujiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his chopsticks...

"Stop!" Xiao Yun was about to give this bastard a good laugh, "There are so many vegetables piled up over there, if you don't have enough to eat, go wash a few and cook them!"

... There is no shame in eating the ox horns on the cliff, jumping up to wash the vegetables.

After dinner, Xiao Yun didn't let the clansmen go to rest, but told everyone to rest for a while and prepare to go back to dig the vegetable cellar. In the past, this group of people would have wailed in vain. Today, they collected so much sweet, crisp, tender and refreshing food with their own hands. The Chinese cabbage, but all of them are quite calm.

When the weather is cold, everyone uses the mobile home as a cafeteria. Now when the weather is warm, they all sit in the open air. Well, except Sal, whose skin cannot withstand the mosquitoes on the grassland. He hides in the house after eating went.

Xiao Yun sat next to the patriarch, and heaved a long sigh before speaking.

The patriarch, who was rubbing his stomach beautifully, was taken aback, and looked over anxiously... Every time Ayun put on a special look to talk to him, even if it really made people think it was a good thing at the time... But after thinking about it... All the patriarchs who have come here have an inexplicable premonition that they have been played by Ayun, but he still can't tell the reason.Coming and going, the patriarch couldn't help but be vigilant against Ayun.

"Patriarch, our tribe is really short of people~~" Xiao Yun stretched out his tone with a heavy expression, "I also know that everyone has been working very hard during this time, but there is no way, after all, we only have a few people in our tribe, so grab I'm too busy to do the work in a hurry... I really have no power to want everyone to relax!"

"..." The patriarch moved his lips, and forcibly controlled his desire to spit... The so-called loss is the best teacher. The patriarch who has been fooled so many times by Xiao Yun's concentrated firepower, at least understands A truth: When you don't understand Ayun's true intentions, just speak up!

"Patriarch?" Xiao Yun raised his eyelids and looked over.

"Well, ah, yes." The patriarch was shocked, "It is indeed so."

Xiao Yun nodded, and then fell silent for a moment as if thinking about it: "Actually... I have always had an idea, but you know the patriarch, I am not yet an adult, I am not sensible, and I don't know how to deal with other tribes, so I have not opened it. This mouth."

"..." The patriarch slowly narrowed his dead fish eyes, "Heh, ha ha..." If the patriarch knew the modern language, he would only have to say "I believe in your evil" now.

"Patriarch?" Xiao Yun raised his eyelids again, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were puzzled.

"Ayun, tell me what you think, maybe we can have a better idea after discussing it?" The patriarch said seriously.How could he show timidity in front of the cubs~~!

Xiao Yun nodded, showing a shy (...) expression that was a bit unconfident and embarrassed: "I feel a little uneasy when I see the clansmen so tired. It is true that I force everyone to do work for the benefit of the clansman, but if If we exhausted our people before we worked hard to pursue and create a beautiful and happy life that belongs to our snow werewolves, then who are we working so hard for?"

The patriarch twitched uncontrollably when he heard the first half of the words. Fortunately, what Ayun said in the second half was still human, and he could still control his emotions so as not to lose the demeanor of the patriarch; but anyway, the patriarch did not believe that Ayun could really "Conscience found out" let everyone go, he can't jump into this pit, so he tried his best to be kind: "Then Ah Yun, what can you do?"

Xiao Yun seemed to be encouraged by the patriarch, and he had the courage to speak: "I have been thinking that it would be great if we had more people, but our tribe is so small, it is not easy for other snow werewolf tribes to merge with us." Actually. So, why don’t we borrow someone from another Snow Werewolf tribe to help? Last year we found the pasture here, which was pointed to us by the Snow Werewolf tribe in the north. I remember that tribe has a population of more than 50 people. Take the patriarch with you. Use pottery, blankets, etc. as gifts. For the patriarch's sake, you can borrow a dozen or twenty labors from them. It will be used in autumn. We will release them when the tribe wants to store fodder. If they are adults Not enough people, cubs are fine!"

I have to say that after the addition of Xiao Yun, a strange creature, in the tribe, the patriarch's comprehension ability has risen in a straight line. After understanding Xiao Yun's words, the patriarch's eyes when he looked at him were almost the same as those of aliens... Uh, this description seems to be true. Nothing wrong.

"Patriarch?" Xiao Yun looked expectant.

Patriarch: "..."

The stupid and cute werewolf also needs face and skin. Although the patriarch was careful not to jump into the pit, Xiao Yun flattered him and lifted him up. If he refused on the spot, the patriarch really couldn't open his mouth...

Snow werewolves can eat, and it is not easy for each tribe to survive. Naturally, there is no such thing as infighting among the same clan... But if you want to talk about helping each other, solidarity and friendship, that is very limited, because every snow wolf clan is poor Compared with that, there is no capital to help each other-it is quite rare to borrow people from other tribes because of the shortage of manpower, because you borrow people to help, and you can't let people bring their own dry food no?

This simple logic can be understood even by the Snowwolves. The small population and lack of manpower are due to the fact that the tribe is not strong. The tribe is naturally struggling on the verge of food and clothing. There is not enough food for the family, and they have to borrow people from other tribes. You might as well just join your family and go for refuge...as long as someone can afford it and is willing to accept it.

...That is to say, it really takes a very thick skin to do such a thing as borrowing people from other Snowwolves.

The patriarch's face is serious and dignified, and he has a good heart. How can he make Ah Yun give up this bad idea? !

On the surface, Xiao Yun still looked at the patriarch's respectful and expectant expression as a cub, but in his heart he knew very well why the patriarch had such a constipated face... Before he asked the patriarch to open his mouth, he had to talk to other people for a long time to figure it out. Even the timing of speaking is chosen after the harvest of the planted crops, letting the tribe see the benefits of farming, and greatly enhancing the correctness of one's own farming strategy - smart people don't fight unprepared battles , No matter which field you mix in, this is the truth.

"Patriarch!" Xiao Yun stretched out his hands to hold the patriarch's claws, and said affectionately, "We really can't let the clansman be so overworked anymore... Seeing your back pain every day makes me feel very sad, and the grass , she was in estrus last year, maybe she already has cubs in her womb - seeing you working so hard, I really feel sorry for you! But no matter how hard I try, I can only do the work of cubs, I can't share more with you, at least let The tribe can take turns to rest... I really have no choice but to rely on you, patriarch~~!"

...The so-called true warrior is to be able to act with emotion when necessary, even with a poor accent of exclamation——When Xiao Yun was the manager of the sales department, he was able to give a shit to even the most disgusting customers The rainbow farts are blowing wildly, and the regional director of the head office is airborne. His face is so black that he can go up to flatter him. Such a little acting skills are nothing!

The patriarch really didn't dare to shake off his hand with a little force, and the constipation on his face turned into a struggle...

"We don't borrow their people in vain. The pasture we plant can be harvested at least twice before autumn comes, and the snow werewolves who come to help can take away the good pasture they can take away. By the way, green vegetables and radishes can also be harvested , Patriarch, you bring enough vegetables and radishes as gifts, I think this should express our sincerity, we really need help from our fellow clan." Xiao Yun's eyes sparkled.

You don’t need to talk about the patriarch to understand the words of throwing gifts at the same clan, and you won’t lose face if you borrow someone from the patriarch, and maybe you can get a little superior... If Xiao Yun said this directly, he would fall behind , Show off that this cub is smart and witty, even the patriarch knows that he has vanity, or what's the matter?

The struggle on the patriarch's face became more obvious, and he couldn't help imagining what Ayun didn't say, but it was all on his face: when they migrated last year, they passed by the tribe of the same clan, and the embarrassment was beyond words; In just one year, his tribe has beautiful pottery that even the tauren love, and a large number of dishes that only the tauren can take as gifts... I can't help being a little excited when I think about it. !

"...Okay!" Xiao Yun's expected answer came out of the patriarch's mouth unsurprisingly. Of course, the patriarch still needs to save face, be calm and reserved, "I think it's feasible. But we still need to discuss it with the soldiers."

... plan to pass.

Called the five warriors in the tribe, including the Qingyan rabbit mantle, to sit down for a meeting. This time without Xiao Yun's voice, the patriarch calmly proposed to bring gifts to visit other snow wolf tribes and borrow people by the way. Son.

The stupid and cute werewolf fighters all looked shocked, this, isn't this kind of thing very embarrassing? !

The jaws of Qingyan and Rabbit Mantle almost fell off. The small population of some cat tribes makes it difficult to reproduce, and the cat tribe will not borrow people from other tribes to "breed" because the population of the tribe directly symbolizes the tribe's population. Hard power—there is no concept of showing weakness to the enemy among grassland tribes. Do they feel that their grassland is coveted by others or what?

Thinking about it carefully, only the Snow Werewolf tribe is relatively close to here, Qingyan and Tuman are a little more at ease. It is still rare for the Snow Werewolf tribe to grab grassland from each other.

Hmm... Although these people have planted fields, they still haven't changed their thinking from the nomadic direction.

From the beginning, the patriarch convinced the soldiers that the tribe lacked manpower, the tribe was too hard, and their fields had harvests to ensure food. These words were not foolish but the truth. The snow werewolf warriors nodded one after another. They were as strong as red leaves and were tired now I have no strength to grind my bones and arrows. If I can take a breather from the heavy and complicated work, everyone has no objection.

After Qingyan and Qiu exchanged glances, Qiqi looked at Ayun who was sitting obediently beside the patriarch... With his knees, everyone knew that this idea was definitely his idea! !

Looking at the snow werewolf warrior who was persuaded by the patriarch and Huo Yan, the patriarch who was convincing them, Qing Yan and Qiu's eyes showed a little sympathy—could it be easier to borrow people with the cheek?Impossible impossible!The more people there are, the more work Ah Yun wants everyone to do!

You snow werewolves are so naive and spicy!
