Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich

After resting enough on the kang, Lin Xi sat up, walked to the kitchen, took out two large bags of bitter tree bark that had been torn into thin strips and tied into bundles from the corner, and then walked out of the cave.

Wu Chen was not outside.

Lin Xi looked towards the river at the foot of the hill, and from a distance, he saw Wu Chen squatting by the river, probably processing the skins of the two giant beasts.

This scene suddenly reminded her of when she and Wu Chen first came to the tribe!

Although only a short time has passed, she has already gotten used to life here!

Lin Xi walked over with two large packages in his arms and picked up a wooden stick on the way, which he would use for a while.

Before she got close, Wu Chen had already discovered her.

He turned his head and looked over, then stood up and walked to Lin Xi. He took the two large packages in one hand, held Lin Xi's hand with the other, and lowered his head to ask her:

"There's bitter bark in here, Xixi, do you want to make a hemp rope?"

Lin Xi nodded, and as he walked, his shoulders occasionally touched the orc's bare arms. The touch was firm and made him feel safe.

For some reason, my heart beat faster!

She cleared her throat before answering Wu Chen's question: "I want to catch some fish, but first I need to make a fishing net with hemp rope."

"Fishing net?"

The orc frowned in confusion.

There are plenty of fish in the river, but they have too many bones and little meat. Only the orcs from the bird, bear and cat tribes come to catch them occasionally, but they can't catch enough for dinner in half a day!

However, if Xixi wants to eat it, he can certainly catch it for her!

Wu Chen lowered his head, and the pair of pure black, fluffy, chubby round ears on his head also moved. He looked at the female beast beside him, still a little puzzled:

"Xixi wants to eat fish. I'll catch fish for you, but what is a net?"

When Lin Xi heard this, he quickly shook his head!

She was afraid that if she reacted too slowly, Wu Chen would really jump directly into the river and give her the chance to catch fish!

"No, Wuchen, I want to catch more fish and save them for winter."

"As for the Internet..."

Lin Xi thought for a while before coming up with a more appropriate description: "It's a bit like digging many small holes in a large animal hide."

However, after hearing this answer, Wu Chen became even more confused: "Then couldn't Xixi just take a piece of animal skin and make a hole? Why does she have to twist the hemp rope?"

"No, Wuchen."

The two walked to the river together. Lin Xi took the package from Wu Chen and explained to him:

"Animal hides are too obvious. Fish will avoid them when they see them and won't go into the fishing net! And a fishing net is very large. If we use animal hides, I'm afraid a whole giant hide won't be enough. That would be such a waste!"

"Besides, the hide is wet and very heavy!"

As Lin Xi spoke, he opened the two packages one by one and poured the bundles of dried bark inside into the river.

Then she squatted down and used the stick she had just picked up to press down the bark piled on top, allowing the water to soak into it.

The river near the tribe, called Mogan River, has a relatively gentle flow, so there is no need to worry about the water washing away the animal hides!

After the bark was estimated to have been soaked for about ten minutes, Lin Xi picked up all the bark from the water and threw it on the animal hide.

Wu Chen accompanied Lin Xi back to the cave to deliver a package.

Before reaching the bottom of the hill, Lin Xi saw several orcs standing in front of his cave from afar.

There was nothing unusual on Wu Chen's face. It was obvious that he had seen these orcs a long time ago.

"Linxi Sage!"

Seeing Lin Xi and Wu Chen coming back, several orcs immediately showed respect on their faces, and their tone of voice when they called her was full of excitement.

Lin Xi felt a little embarrassed.

Although I am proud to be respected, I still feel an inexplicable sense of shame!

But she roughly guessed the purpose of these orcs:

"You are here to see the cellar, aren't you?"

Lin Xi put down the package in her hand and looked at them.

These orcs did not look unfamiliar. They should have been among those orcs who had helped her dig the cave before.

After Lin Xi asked, one of the orcs who looked more honest immediately nodded:

"Yes, Sage Linxi, it was Chief Bai Nu who asked us to come here. Let's go back and set up the place. Other orcs can come to us to learn."

After hearing this, Lin Xi immediately agreed: "Okay, I..."

She was about to say that she would take them there, but before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Wu Chen: "Xixi, I dug the cellar, I will take them to learn!"

Lin Xi was stunned!

Two seconds later, she reacted and looked helplessly at Wu Chen who had a serious expression on his face.

This big cat...

The jealousy is so obvious!

In the end, Wu Chen led the orcs to the cellar.

Lin Xi moved a small wooden stool, sat in front of the cave, and began to sort out the bark that had just been softened.

She first untied and smoothed out the bark, then took them together strands and began to twist them into ropes.

Now Lin Xi has become very proficient in the technique of twisting hemp rope.

She placed a peeled animal hide on her legs, then placed the bark and tendons that she wanted to rub into a strand on the hide, and rubbed them continuously in the same direction with her palms.

Soon, a long hemp rope was hanging by her feet.

Wu Chen's teaching ended quickly. After a few orcs left, he first looked at Lin Xi who was busy sitting outside the cave, and then strode towards the river.

The two giant animal skins had been cleaned. He picked up the skins and carried them back to the hillside.

The way orcs deal with animal hides is actually very simple.

Scrape off the grease, wash it clean, rub off the remaining grease on the animal skin with wood ash, wash it again, then hit it repeatedly with a wooden stick, and rub it again. After washing it clean, take it to the hillside to dry.

By repeating this process twice, you can get a perfect animal hide.

Lin Xi didn't know how people dealt with animal skins in modern times, but here, the method used by the orcs was very effective.

Wu Chen tied the two animal skins together with wooden sticks, and then stuck them in the open space on the hillside, letting the sun dry the moisture on them.

Then he returned to the cave, scooped a spoonful of water from the stone jar used to store water, and washed his hands that were greasy from the animal skins.

Then he took a log and a piece of animal skin, walked over to Lin Xi and sat down next to her. He took out a handful of bark from the pile in front of her and started to twist a rope.

The weather is nice today. The sun is shining on me, which is a rare warmth in recent times. I can sit outside without any big movements and still not feel cold.

Wu Chen didn't even wear that little vest today. Instead, he only wore a new animal skin skirt that Lin Xi had made for him, which was above the knees.

Lin Xi picked up two handfuls of new bark and tendons, inserted them into the half-twisted hemp rope, rubbed the new part in, and rubbed it slowly.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, she stopped, raised her hand, and looked at her palm.

The originally white and tender palms have turned red, and now feel a little numb and itchy!

"Xixi, what's wrong?"

While Lin Xi was still looking at the palm of her hand, the orc next to her immediately noticed that something was wrong with her and reached out to grab her wrist.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Lin Xi's red palms.

Lin Xi pulled his hand back and scratched his palm with his other hand, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay, it just itches a little."

However, Wu Chen doesn't care about this!

He directly took the hemp rope from Lin Xi's hand and said in a tough manner: "I will do the hemp rope rolling from now on, Xixi, don't do it anymore."

When Lin Xi heard this, she smiled helplessly but did not refute immediately.

She looked down at her palms, which had gone from numb and itchy to slightly swollen, and the corners of her smiling lips suddenly dropped a little...

Maybe, by next winter, her hands, which now have fragile and delicate skin, will become dark and rough?
