Chapter 11: A Sense of Crisis
Everyone ate barbecue and didn't care how Bai Yun was obsessed here, so the time passed happily.
Drying the water in this pond is not a short-term process. What's more, just relying on the evaporation of nature is even longer. But in the beast world, everything is unhurried. Therefore, everyone is not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for it to become brine.
During this period, of course, there are some things that need to be done by them, and this is also a good opportunity to understand the beast world for Liu Qingxun.
There are many carnivores in the Xingyue tribe, but there are also many herbivores. They get nutrients from plants, and eating meat for a long time is not good for themselves. And hunting animals, the danger factor is extremely high, they can eat vegetarian if they can, not to mention, there are some omnivores, but the omnivores here do not often eat meat.
They will also grow some grains themselves, but the harvest is not very good due to backward technology. Although the yield per mu is very low, the beast world is vast and sparsely populated, and the vast area is full of crops sown by them.
She couldn't help but think of a poem, full of steaming heat and rustic, and her back was burning in the sky, but there was no poor woman holding her son beside her.
The orcs began to harvest the wheat during this time, and the sun was too full here, and some breeze blew through the wheat field, and the wheat made a rattling sound, which made the wind stain a trace of wheat, and if you went to harvest the wheat in the afternoon, it would not only be hot, but also sore the eyes.
What makes Liu Qingxun strange is that there are no scarecrows here, don't the birds here eat wheat? Or did they simply not know that they could use scarecrows to drive away these wheat-eating birds?
Soon, Liu Qingxun will not have such doubts. There is no rice here.
Liu Qingxun stood in front of the wheat, and saw that there were some people not far away holding some wood and began to set up a small pavilion over there, and some female orcs stood under some shady trees, and began to weave rattan nets, the net was very huge, and the slightest hole was not exposed, and there were two belts left on the four sides of the net, and when the male orcs set up the four pieces of wood according to the square pattern, they took the woven net cover from the hands of the female orcs and put it on it, and tied the four corners, and a simple pergola was built.
Liu Qingxun stood in the shade of the tree, watching Bai Yun and Bai Yue pluck the wheat with their hands over there. I thought it was time to make them a sickle, so that the harvest would be quick, and they wouldn't have to pull it out one by one, but there was no iron in this place, so how could I make a sickle?
Bai Yue was born with divine power, and he pulled the wheat very quickly, and after a while, he pulled all the wheat in a field, and Bai Yun seemed to be here to do miscellaneous, when Bai Yue's wheat was piled up to a certain extent, Bai Yun held the wheat and put it in an open space.
When Liu Qingxun saw Bai Yun coming to the open space with wheat in his arms again, he beckoned to Bai Yun and said, "Go and see which family has pig's ribs, and bring one to me."
Bai Yun wagged his tail embarrassedly and said: She may need to wait for a while, and it may not be until he takes all the wheat back from this field that he will have time to help her find it. Otherwise, my brother will say that he is lazy, and my brother is very tired from pulling wheat alone, and he has to carry the wheat back, which is even more burdensome.
Liu Qingxun looked at the child in front of him, his tanned skin because of the continuous work in the field for the past few days, and even a piece of his little cheeks were even peeled, and he wiped Baiyun's face with the handkerchief in his hand and said: It's okay, you go now, brother, can I help him hug the wheat?
Bai Yun hesitated over there and nodded, saying, "Then when you go to help my brother carry the wheat, don't stand in the ground and wait like me, when it is put there and put it in a pile, you can just go and take it away." Then you wait for me, I'll be back soon.
After saying that, Bai Yun didn't dare to waste time, and quickly turned into a little white tiger, so he went door to door to ask for pork ribs, and after a while, he saw Bai Yun come back with a rib in his mouth. The ears are all running into airplane ears.
Liu Qingxun looked at Bai Yun holding the bone in his mouth, and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, why is there so much meat attached to this bone?
Looking at Bai Yun like this, Liu Qingxun couldn't help but laugh, he wouldn't think I was hungry, right?
Liu Qingxun, who was helpless, could only take Bai Yue's bone knife, cut off the meat finely, divide it into two parts, and called Bai Yue to open a small meal for the two tigers. Bai Yue didn't eat this snack first, and touched Liu Qingxun's forehead with concern, afraid that Liu Qingxun would suffer from heat stroke.
Holding the curved ribs, Liu Qingxun thought that although the arc was not as big as the sickle, the effect should be better than pulling it out by their own hands, so he took the whetstone and began to sharpen it resignedly. Bai Yue moved quickly. When Bai Yue was about to finish pulling, it was already dusk, the sun was setting, and Liu Qingxun's knife was almost sharpened.
After returning home and having a good meal, Liu Qingxun gave Bai Yue the ground ribs and said that this can improve your efficiency, you can try it tomorrow!
If they really have this rib, their efficiency has increased a lot, and the orcs are also vying to imitate it. As a result, the harvesting efficiency of the Xingyue tribe became even faster, and it was even faster than in the past, and the harvest was completed in five or six days.
During this period, there was also an ironic thing, because of the hard work every day, the Baiyun children were rewarded with two eggs every day. But Liu Qingxun found that the child only ate one egg a day, and he didn't hide the rest of the egg, but he just couldn't find it. Shun Teng found that he took the egg to the little wolf named Xiao Gu, Liu Qingxun looked at the skinny appearance of the little wolf, so he didn't say anything, Bai Yun didn't know that he was found by Shun Teng, and he thought it was a hidden master.
Bai Yun was surprised to find that the eggs he was rewarded with two per day became three. When the wheat was about to be harvested, when Bai Yun was about to go out to deliver eggs, Liu Qingxun stopped him, and Liu Qingxun wrapped a rib knife in a piece of animal skin and pointed it at Bai Yun and said to give it to him.
Bai Yun also wondered that his brother had it early in the morning, could two sickles cut more wheat? Liu Qingxun said to give it to the child whose ears can't stand up, and you don't have to be sneaky next time you go to give him eggs.
Bai Yun said in surprise: Sister, you actually know everything. Liu Qingxun said confidently, nothing can hide from me.
Liu Qingxun didn't care how surprised Bai Yun was, and planned to go to the pond to see if the lake water had become brine. Looking at this brine, Liu Qingxun knew that it was time for him to take the next step.
Recently, the sickle made by Liu Qingxun gave Bai Yue a trace of inspiration, they each have a bone knife, although the stab hit rate is very high, but it is still difficult to be fatal, but the sickle in his hand is different, once the blood vessels in the neck are cut, this person is useless.
Bai Yue vaguely knew what kind of position these people should be placed in, and he might want to put those who are good at using bone knives in the front, and then let the people who use scythes in the middle reap harvest, so that the advantages of these two knives can be combined. Bai Yue was overjoyed, he didn't expect to be able to solve his own problem by harvesting a wheat, just like Qing Xun said that there is another village, although he doesn't know what this sentence means? Bai Yue is also very uncertain about this idea of herself, because no one has ever done it.
These two people have seen a breakthrough in what they are thinking, and they are always in a very good mood these days, as if they are going to flourish and decline, there are always something lurking in the dark, which catches people off guard.
When Liu Qingxun saw Bai Yue coming back, he hurriedly ran to the front and said: As long as we wait for this brine to crystallize, we can get coarse salt. When Bai Yue heard the coarse salt, he thought that this salt was not edible, so he asked curiously: Is there any difference between the coarse salt and the two pieces of salt in her hand?
Liu Qingxun asked Bai Yue to lean down, and he leaned into Bai Yue's ear and said: There is no difference, the two pieces of salt in my hand are coarse salt.
When Bai Yue heard it, didn't they have a pool of salt. Oh my God, it's exciting. After hearing this, Bai Yue immediately said to Liu Qingxun seriously: This matter must not be said, if it is known, something will definitely happen.
Liu Qingxun saw him so solemn, and then quietly asked Bai Yue to lower his body and whisper again: I have a way to turn these salts into fine salt.
Bai Yue's cat's eyes turned, and she whispered in Liu Qingxun's ear: Is it more precious than coarse salt? Liu Qingxun whispered in his ear: Yes, the effect is better, and the taste is more fragrant, these two people are biting their ears here, and Bai Yun and Xiaogu are also happily drawing sickles over there.
Liu Qingxun told Bai Yue his questions for many days, why did Bai Yun always run to help that little wolf? When Bai Yue said this, his eyes were a little dim. He recalled that he was still young at that time, and the father of the little wolf was very brave in hunting, and he admired it very much, but the leader of the Eternal Day tribe next door was a thoughtful poisonous snake, and his father was accidentally assassinated by the poisonous snake, and was tied to their tribe in the form of humiliation, and cruelly cut off his head and sacrificed to the gods.
Liu Qingxun asked again, what about the little wolf's mother? Bai Yue: The two of them are very affectionate. After hearing that the wolf's father had been beheaded, his mother soon died of depression, leaving the three-year-old wolf. After Liu Qingxun heard this, he couldn't stop feeling sorry for the little wolf. At the same time, she also said to Bai Yue in fear: You must protect the matter of salt, in case the next tribe finds out that the consequences are unimaginable. looked at Liu Qingxun's scared appearance, hugged her hard, and said that he would definitely protect her, even if his head was cut off.
Hearing Bai Yue say this, Liu Qingxun laughed back: I have seen others swear that they can't do it, why is it thundering in the sky. Why do you still have to seal your oath with your head? Don't say that, I'm scared even more. Are you idle Baiyun playing naughtily all day long, and you don't want to care, so you gave me this little tiger once and for all. Don't try to leave him alone. Anyway, the two of you have recently cut wheat, and this face is simply ruined. Bai Yun had a few pieces of bald skin on his face all day long, running around. You're still laughing, I don't think your face is much better, what is the sunburn on your forehead, and what is the skin peeling off? I have to heal you.
