Chapter 92: Patience

Le Qi locked Ash Liu'er in the room and didn't let her come out, lest those Li witch wars attack her.

The granaries were gone, the grain in the fields was not yet ripe, and the witches were guarding day and night, and the hungry people had to search outside the city for some wild fruits and grasses.

There were fewer and fewer fish in the river, and although they had the intention of creating a huge net to intercept the entire river, the quality of the hemp rope was not enough to support the project. After such a large net is saturated, its own weight and the impact of the river water are enough to break the rope net.

The witch wars joined the fishing and hunting, searching along the upstream and downstream, and a large number of pig-nosed dragons were hunted, and they were not afraid of the revenge of the scale tribe, because the eight city guards stationed abroad had already led all the troops back to Chiyou City.

The Wu War of the Li Nationality gathered on such a large scale is a force that no race can ignore, and with this force, Li Greed finally has a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Scale Clan.

After the last town guard returned, Li Yan took the four town guards out of the city and headed for the East China Sea.

More than 50,000 Wu Zhan were stationed around Chiyou City, and the appetite of these 50,000 people was equivalent to 200,000 ordinary people, and they did not bring back much food from the Eight Cities, and the condition that the leaders of the Yi tribe were willing to take the initiative to come back with them was to leave enough rations for the clansmen.

50,000 witch wars, plus the 80,000 old and weak Yi tribes who migrated here, as well as the original clansmen in the city, there are already 150,000 people stationed around Chiyou City. The food problem is imminent, and Li Greed has already divided the witch warriors who returned to the city into hundreds of teams to go out hunting as soon as possible, but this can only alleviate for a while, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem.

The fields reclaimed in the north of the city are now floating with a large area of green ears, thousands of corn fields, and the grain fields on the other side now carry the hope of everyone. Li Ben specially sent a witch war team of hundreds of people to Li Laogen to manage and use it to guard the corn fields. This is the first time that an ordinary person can lead a witch war, and these days, Li Laogen has become swaggering and full of momentum even when he walks.

The broad leaves of the corn are stirred by the wind, and three or five bulging ears grow on each corn stalk, and when the purple-red whiskers on the top of the ears dry up and the top ears turn golden, these ears will grow into heavy corn cobs, which are the rations for everyone to survive the winter.

The sweetness of the grain also attracted a large number of herbivorous Mao and Kun tribes, and under their constant attacks day and night, the witch wars could only disperse, each guarding a section, and surrounded the corn fields. Even though his eyes glowed green with hunger, Li Laogen still kept patrolling the fields day and night, enjoying the respectful and fearful gaze of his people, and he felt the taste of power for the first time.

Drove out six fat pigs with thief eyebrows and rat eyes from the corn field again, Li Laogen jumped high and angrily scolded the pig Ganglie who was running in front of the big B brother, that guy had been caught by him twice, Li Laogen swore swearing, if he touched the pig again, he would definitely catch him and eat meat.

Speaking of eating meat, his stomach rumbled again, picked up half of the tender corn cob that fell from Big B's mouth on the ground, patted off the dirt on it, peeled off his coat, and inside was a neat row of grains. With his farming experience, he can naturally see how big the corn can grow when it is ripe.

Lowering his head and gnawing off the upper layer of grains, Li Laogen squinted his eyes with satisfaction, the entrance is sweet, mellow, and easy to hull, such a grain is perfect. Thinking of this, he was very heartbroken, and he didn't know how much he was eaten by those pigs' heads, and when he grew up, this was all a meal! I really don't know why the patriarch and the big witch kept the pig's head and the six Mao clans, the lieutenants were gone, eighty percent of them were dead, and those Mao clans killed and ate meat. The patriarch is still too young, and the grandmother is too soft-hearted, keeping those Yi people will only make the Li people suffer from hunger, if I am allowed to be the patriarch......

Suddenly shuddered, Li Laogen looked left and right with a weak heart, fortunately no one saw him, and he was startled by the thoughts that popped up in his heart. Stuffing half of the corn into his clothes, Li Laogen secretly scolded himself, how could he dare to come up with such a rebellious idea after only a few days of being a peasant official? After packing up his imminent thoughts, he looked back and forth, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

The idea of beating the corn field is not only the pig Ganglie them, but also the Li people themselves. Although it was forbidden for everyone to go near the cornfields before he left, the tribesmen who did not find enough food to eat during the day would always find a way to get into the fields and steal something to eat at night. They are all familiar clansmen, and the witch wars are not easy to punish, so they can only be caught and driven away. It wasn't until a few days ago that Li Laogen got angry and personally whipped a few Li people who were caught, and Dawu didn't accuse, that the corn field was born.

However, the corn field is not easy to make, the side of the grain field suffered, the first fruit of the soybean was stolen the most, the green pods are roasted on the fire, or directly thrown into the water to boil can be eaten, and the taste is fragrant, very delicious, a large area of soybeans are only produced by the green pods are about to be pulled out.

The Yi people did not dare to move into the corn fields, but there were often Yi people in the grain fields who were caught and carried out by the Li people who also went to steal beans. The Li people are very angry, because this is the field they planted, and it is natural for them to steal nature.

Every time it comes to a crisis, the status of intimacy becomes more and more prominent, the contradictions are surging day by day, and the Li people have begun to spontaneously expel the Yi people. The hungrier they were, the more angry they became, and it seemed to them that if the Yi had not eaten the rations that should have gone into their stomachs, they would not have been pulling grass and eating in the mountains and fields as they are now. They don't blame the patriarch for letting them accept the Yi people, they only hate these useless Yi people, let you come over, why are you so obedient?

In the days when Le Qi lived, almost every day you could see the brawl between the Li people and the Yi people, all the old, weak, sick and disabled Yi people were naturally not the opponents of the Li people, the great witch Jiang Xiang had tried his best to appease, but the situation was still further deteriorating. The existential crisis made the Yi people even more united, and under their conscious resistance, the Li people also began to suffer casualties.

This is naturally a death, if it weren't for Jiang Xiang's severe suppression, those Yi people crowded in the grass hut would have been slaughtered by the angry witch wars. However, if there is a choice, the Yi people will naturally not take risks, how can they not see that in this situation, if they do not fight, then they really have no way to live.

After living in Chiyou City for more than half a month, Le Qi can be said to have watched the situation deteriorate day by day to what it is today. In her opinion, the situation was completely a mistake in the leader's decision, but she did not intervene, but was a quiet bystander.

Today's situation is inseparable from one person, and that is the purpose of her trip - Fengyun.

She didn't know where Fengyun got the corn seeds, and why he would make such an immature suggestion.

She was following the footsteps of Fengyun, figuring out his heart, looking for evidence of her guess.

In front of the kiln, Li Bian was pulling a pile of stones shoveled out of the kiln, detailing them, and Gray Liu'er was bored squatting at the door, picking at the stones in the brick cracks, and muttering: "When will my brother come back?"

The fat aunt walked slowly from the city, carrying a bamboo basket, next to Le Qi, who met on the road, she went to look for the big witch, but she didn't see it.

Gray Liu'er jumped out of the house and jumped to meet him.

The fat aunt was a little fatter than before, but she was not really fat, but because she ate the koji vegetables dug up outside, which caused her face to be a little swollen.

"Fat aunt, what are you going to eat today?" asked Gray Liu'er happily.

The fat aunt said with a smile: "Today I gave you a pig-nosed dragon leg and a tail, you can get it to eat." ”

The fat aunt's craftsmanship has been passed on to Fengyun, but there is still a certain gap with Le Qi, and Le Qi cooks these days.

"Huh, there's no meat to eat?" Gray Liu'er was a little disappointed.

Le Qi smiled and comforted her and said, "It's okay, I'll make it for you, it's delicious." "At this time, it is already a very good treatment to be able to eat meat.

The pig-nosed dragon leg, that is, the crocodile leg, is more suitable for stewing, and the ginger and star anise left in the peach blossom garden by Fengyun have been brought over by Le Qi and can be used to marinate and remove the fish. And the crocodile tail is blanched in boiling water, and after it is steamed in the pot, it will taste a bit like a pig's trotters.

The big clay pot used to steam things was only fired from the kiln a few days ago, and Le Qi was busy working, so Ash Liu'er ran to see Li Bian burning stones.

The firing of the bricks has stopped, and now no one is thinking about building a house, and having enough to eat is the key issue.

Li Qing had already gone back to polish the stone tools, and the witch hunting team needed a large number of arrows and spear heads.

But Li Bian remained here, he was studying the changes of various stones after burning, and he asked the hunting party to help him bring back some stones that he had never seen before, and all kinds of stones were piled up in the open space in front of the kiln.

Different stones will also produce various changes after burning, and two different stones calcined together may grow new stones that have not been seen before, this magical change fascinated him, and even a little wasted sleep and food, he slowly began to understand some of the words that Fengyun had told him.

Le Qi naturally recognized the copper ore, iron ore and even aluminum ore in the stone pile, but she did not open her mouth to remind her, except for walking around the city every day, she still maintained the perspective of a bystander and a detached way of thinking.

Since she awakened her abilities, she would always have strange dreams, the world in the dream was completely different from the world in her memory, the people there did not practice, although there were also all kinds of legends of immortals, but they were just legends.

The history there has gone in two completely different directions since the reign of the Suiren, who used a philosophy called science to understand and interpret the world, and also stepped out of the planet and into the starry sky. Their weapons are so powerful that they are made by almost ordinary people, and while they require a great deal of scientific knowledge, they are almost always done by ordinary people.

This is very incredible to Le Qi, just like a planetary-level magic weapon, but the production is completely carried out by ordinary immortals, only guided by immortals with advanced cultivation, which is completely different from the world she lives in.

She was curious about science, but getting into that dream wasn't something she could control. During her intermittent exploration of the dream world, she found that the scientific path was somewhat similar to the route of her father's research, using a microscopic way to analyze the causes of immortal arts, and trying to touch the speed limit.

She had a vague guess that maybe these were the reasons why she was in this world.

The world was different from hers, and the world in her dreams, and some of them seemed to be mixed together. In this world, the immortal cultivation of the human race is still in the initial stage of physical skills and bloodline power, and in her world, the dragon clan, which is only used as a dish, has actually become the royal family of the scale clan here.

In order to figure out the current situation, she must wait until the storm returns, and she must not disturb the current world casually, which requires patience, and she has never lacked patience.
