Chapter 30: Wheat? Rice?
In the early hours of the morning, thunder roared.
He Chen slept very hard, and even this was the best day he slept in these days.
No dreaming, no insomnia, no early awakening.
He woke up early every day, as if he had a nervous breakdown.
But today, Di and Xiaobai were awakened by thunder.
It was raining lightly outside, but fortunately there was some thatch on the roof, so the rain could not get in, but it still blew a cool breeze from time to time.
Di got some hay and spread it on He Chen's stomach and listened quietly to the sound of the rain.
"Huh?"
Xiaobai also woke up.
Di looked at Xiaobai and smiled: "Xiaobai, are you awake too?" β
"Huh." Xiaobai nodded.
Di listened to the sound of the rain, was stunned, and then said: "I feel that the morning is hard, the morning is tired, his pressure is so great, but I can't do anything......"
"Baa~"
Xiaobai crawled to Di's side, and a small hand touched Di's shoulder.
It straightened up, about the height of Dee sitting down.
"You say, if only I was smart, or strong, so that I could help Chen." Dee was a little lost.
"Bah, blea."
Xiaobai patted Di, and then called twice.
Meaning: Don't be lost, and me!
"Xiaobai is so good." Di smiled and touched Xiaobai's head: "I must try my best to help Chenwu in the future!" No, I'm going to do my best to help Chen, whether he's a witch or not! β
Good friends, let's go!
"Alright, let's go to bed, there must be a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, we need to help." Di lay down and fell asleep after he finished pumping himself, and fell asleep after a while.
Only Xiaobai still didn't sleep, but stood upright, looking out through the gap in the wooden wall, his eyes flickering.
It's a forest, there's many, many elves there, and there's mystery and the unknown.
At the same time, it also means that it is just a weakling.
Just a bug.
"Baa ......"
Xiao Bai turned his head to look at He Chen and Di who were asleep, screamed softly, and then turned around and fell asleep next to He Chen.
"Bite it...... Bite the empty seat, bite it to death......" He Chen whispered a word or two in his deep sleep.
After hearing this, Xiaobai gently touched He Chen's hair, then coiled up and fell asleep with the sound of rain.
"Baa~"
β¦β¦
Morning.
"Gan, what the hell is this weather?" He Chen stood at the door of the wooden house, and it was pouring rain outside.
At night, he felt that it was thundering and raining outside, and who knew that it would rain so hard?
This kind of heavy rain hurts when you stretch out your hand.
Today's rain is like Yiping...... No, it's like a noble person...... Wrong wrong!
In short, it's raining so hard!
He's planning to go out to find food today! It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven.
"Morning Witch! Morning Witch! β
But at this time, two people walked over, and Ba Da Butterfly flew above their heads to protect them from the rain.
Two brothers, Sand and Earth.
"Didn't you go hunting?" He Chen was strange.
"The leader asked us to stay, if you want to go to Shui-kun, we will accompany you." Sha said.
"No, no, no, it's raining too much." He Chen waved his hand and let them in.
"Huh? Then we ......" The sand and the earth looked at each other.
So what are they staying for?
"That's it......" He Chen thought about it, and felt that it was better to do something if these two laborers stayed idle.
Anyway, they are in good health, and the primitive human constitution here is simply the worst, all of them are at the athlete level.
Each is Tarzan of the Apes.
"Uncle Sha, you go dig another pit and store water, I think this rain is quite heavy, and it won't stop for a while."
Spring rain continues!
There was already a pond, but the pond was mainly used for watering, on the side of the orchard.
Then make a pond in the place where you live, and boil water to drink.
And He Chen explained to everyone that they can't drink raw water, they can only drink boiled water.
What if there are any parasites? Even if there are no parasites, bacteria and viruses will not work.
High-temperature disinfection is relatively safe.
"Dig a pit? Ponds? Good. "It's not clear why you need to build a pond, but Wu's words are more useful than the leader's words, and of course Sha listens.
"As for Uncle Tu, you take a few people out, and it's in Grandpa White Butterfly's territory." After the sand left, He Chen instructed Tu: "You go to find a few plants, and if you have them, you must bring them back." β
Although He Chen went to find it faster by himself, after all, he knew the appearance of all kinds of grains and vegetables, but he would definitely get sick outside in this kind of heavy rain, so he could only let others do it for him.
"Which plant?"
Tsuchi's face was full of curiosity.
"Such." He Chen dipped his fingers in some water and drew the appearance of a grass on the wood.
"Isn't this just grass?" Soil doubts.
"It's rice." He Chen didn't explain and continued to paint.
Not just Tu, Di and Xiaobai both looked at He Chen's painting with a probing brain.
First rice, then wheat, including potatoes, sweet potatoes and the like were all painted by He Chen.
"Do you remember?" The water dried up quickly, and He Chen's paintings were even more crooked, and the soil could only be guessed.
"Roughly remembered...... Right? Soil scratched his head.
He Chen was helpless: "That's it, you can find the best, and it's okay if you can't find it." β
You can go out and look for it yourself in two days.
It was raining heavily outside, but the adult primitive people were in good health, and there was Ba Da Butterfly as an umbrella, so there should be no problem.
"So what are we going to do, Chen?" Di crossed his knees to the side, holding his feet with both hands.
"We?" He Chen looked at the heavy rain outside the house and frowned.
He couldn't do a lot of things today, such as giving Xiaobai the most basic combat training.
There is also the most basic daily observation of the orchard.
"Well, I'll get an umbrella out." He Chen still wanted to see the orchard.
With such heavy rain, he was afraid that the fruit seedlings in the orchard would be killed by the raindrops.
"Xiaodi, you wait for me here." After speaking, He Chen ran out directly in the rain.
Di and Xiaobai didn't react, and He Chen ran out of the fence directly.
After a few minutes, he came back with a large pile of leaves and branches, wet all over, and his straw skirt was directly tossed aside by him.
When he came back, he wiped his slippery body with hay and closed the door: "Little ...... Little Di, you go outside and get a rock, put hay on it, and drill it...... Drill wood for fire. β
His voice trembled.
Mother, it's too cold.
Dee ran out obediently, and soon came in with a flat stone.
He also ripped off his straw skirt and got wet.
"You...... Do you drill wood for fire? He Chen shuddered.
"Yes."
Dee Fu leaned down, dried the stone, and began to tinker.
In a few moments, the fire rose.
Although the smoke was a bit big, He Chen was still relieved to feel the warmth.
By the way, he roasted the big leaves, dried them and spliced them together: "Xiaobai, wrap them with silk." β
"Poofβ"
Xiaobai spits out the white silk thread.
In a few moments, the leaves and branches were wrapped.
The umbrella is formed!
The umbrella is made of four fat leaves, with wooden sticks as the handle, and the entire body is wrapped in silk thread.
"It's a little loose, but it should work." He Chen walked out of the door with a silk umbrella.
"Bang Ta Bang Towerβ"
"Yes!" He Chen saw that the silk umbrella could withstand the raindrops, and he was happy.
Di and Xiaobai looked curious.
He Chen returned to the house and smiled: "Come on, make an umbrella!" β
β¦β¦
After making more than a dozen umbrellas, He Chen was okay to say, while Xiaobai was lying on He Chen's head as if his body had been hollowed out.
He Chen looked at the orchard and found that although the saplings were young, they were surprisingly resilient.
Or maybe it's because they've been growing in this environment for a long time, and the saplings are adapting well to the rain and are becoming more and more verdant.
However, the original flowers halfway up the mountain were unlucky, and all the flowers were rained down, and the ground was full of petals.
The big murder in the waterhole at the bottom of the mountain was very active, and he had a good appetite and ate an extra cat-shaped fruit.
Towards the end of the afternoon, Tu came back with a few women and a large number of flowers and plants.
It was raining, the road was muddy, it was difficult to walk, and their feet were covered in mud.
Although the straw sandals were made, they didn't make a lot, and He Chen was going to send them again in two days.
"Uncle Tu, I'm back!" He Chen said hello and greeted him.
The group came to the wooden house of earth.
The wooden house was spacious, but there was nothing but hay and some fruit to feed the butterflies.
Several people threw flowers and plants on the ground.
"Chenwu, I don't know what kind of person you're talking about, so I'll bring them all back." Tu honestly scratched his head.
He Chen waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then squatted down to take a closer look.
Pull it on the left, pull it on the right, and look at it carefully one by one.
To his disappointment, he didn't see the food he imagined after watching it for a long time.
But just then, a small grass caught his attention.
"It's ......"
