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

When all the snow on the mountain melted, the first grass began to sprout on the hillside.

On the day when he discovered the first grass, Lin Xi found a piece of wood, cut several pieces of animal skin into the same size, and sewed them into an animal skin book.

Then she wrote a 1 on the wooden board with burnt charcoal, recording this day as January of the new year, which was also the first day of spring.

The winter that just ended was the first season that Lin Xi had spent in this world of beasts. And this season alone lasted nearly eight months!

Lin Xi thought about it and finally decided to set a month here to sixty days.

According to this calculation, the winter she just experienced lasted four months. She didn't know the length of other seasons, but she could calculate it according to the weather changes!

Lin Xi didn’t understand anything about astronomy, geography, or the changes of the sun and moon, but since he had to live here, he couldn’t live in a muddle.

At least, she should know how old she is on the day she dies.

And that animal skin book was used by Lin Xi to record the months.

After writing every 60 days on the wooden board, Lin Xi would write the number of a month on the animal skin book. When four seasons were written, it would be a new year.

The ice on the Mogan River has completely melted. When there was still some thin ice on the river bank, the female cat Yueqing couldn't wait to pull Jin Gan to the river to fish.

Lin Xi counted the height of the sun every day and felt the increasingly warm wind blowing from the north side of the mountain. He felt that it was time to discuss with Bai Nu and Wu about reclaiming the land for planting.

"Linxi Sage, are you saying that you...planted these sweetleaf grasses, black worm fruits, purple-skinned fruits, and these fruits? Planted them?"

Although I have heard Lin Xi mention the idea of ​​planting before, it was just a description in words after all!

Before this, Bai Nu had never been exposed to the concept of planting, so when he first saw the various vegetation successfully planted by Lin Xi, even though he had seen it with his own eyes, it still felt like a dream and it was unreal!

Plants can actually be born from beasts!

Hmm...the wise man said this kind of growth is called planting?

"That's right, Chief Bai Nu. As I said before, as long as there are seeds, these flowers, plants and fruits can be grown."

Lin Xi reached out and pulled at the already long leaves of the sweetleaf grass, then turned to Bai Nu and said, "In fact, just like animals giving birth to cubs, plants also need to give birth to cubs, and seeds are their cubs."

Bai Nu was still a little shocked.

He couldn't help but be surprised to see plants that only grow in summer and autumn in late winter and early spring.

But at this time, the witch who was also here regained her composure more quickly. She was more quick to think of the huge benefits that this "planting" could bring to the orcs in the tribe.

"I understand." She looked at Lin Xi with a rare uneasy look in her eyes, which even made Lin Xi feel a little embarrassed facing such a burning gaze.

She looked at Lin Xi and asked, "So, Sage Lin Xi, what do you need me and Chief Bai Nu to do?"

Lin Xi met the two pairs of enthusiastic eyes looking at him, organized his words, and said: "I need a piece of flat land for planting, and I also need some orcs to help me cultivate the land, that is, to help me work."

Finally, she added, "The location of the land must be the location I choose."

Wu and Bai Nu certainly had no objection, and even started to implement it the next moment.

They first followed Lin Xi to the place she liked.

Several orcs including Lin Xi came out of the cave together. Wu Chen turned into a huge black panther. Lin Xi climbed up and pointed in a direction towards the front of the tribe. After Wu Chen saw it clearly, he spread his limbs and ran towards that direction.

Bai Nu and Wu, who also transformed into beast form, followed closely behind.

The orcs were very fast and the group of four arrived at the destination quickly.

The place Lin Xi chose was actually right in front of the tribe. If she walked, it would take her about half an hour, but the orcs only took two or three minutes to get there when they ran!

This place is still a long distance away from the forest, and it is a piece of empty grassland between the forest and the tribe.

There are almost no trees on the ground except for the overgrown weeds, so it is very easy to clean.

Moreover, Lin Xi had seen that the terrain here was flat, there were no mountains to block the view, there was plenty of sunshine, and the distance to the water source was not too far for the orcs, making it perfect for cultivating farmland.

Lin Xi pointed out four fixed points to Bai Nu and Wu, and then decided to reclaim the areas connecting these four points.

After hearing this, Bai Nu and Wu immediately called the orcs in the tribe for help.

And when the beastmen heard that the forest stream actually grew wild grass and fruits, they became uncontrollable in an uproar!

Even though only a few orcs were needed to do the work, a large group of orcs came in a big way, unable to resist their curiosity and came to verify whether this was true or not.

Especially most of them are herbivorous orcs!

"Linxi Sage, did you really grow sweetleaf grass in winter?"

"Linxi Sage, what does planting mean?"

"Yes! Why is growing grass and fruit called planting?"

"Linxi Sage, can you grow some sweetleaf grass now? Spring has just arrived, but our sweetleaf grass and redgrass have been eaten up!"

Lin Xi was given a headache by the noise!

But after a little thought, she felt that this was indeed an opportunity to explain the concept of planting to the orcs.

So after Bai Nu's tiger roar, the crowd quieted down. The orcs who had been the most excited just now looked at Bai Nu cautiously, fearing that he would get angry the next second.

But fortunately, that didn't happen. Instead, it was the wise man Lin Xi who sat on Wu Chen's tall back and spoke to them.

Lin Xi repeated to the orcs in front of him what he had just explained to Bai Nu and Wu.

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the land in front and said, "I will use this land to try to grow these wild vegetables and fruits. If it is successful, then we can grow food for the winter before the coming of each winter, and we don't have to run deep into the forest to look for it all the time!"

"Really?"

"No need to go to the forest?!"

"Linxi Sage, will we have more time to go hunting in the forest?"

The orcs with quick minds thought of more things at once.

Lin Xi looked at the orc who asked the question and nodded affirmatively: "Of course, the food we grow ourselves does not need to be taken care of every day, so when it comes to winter storage, we can save a lot of time on gathering and do other things!"

When the orcs heard Lin Xi's words, their eyes immediately lit up!

Especially during the winter storage period, the herbivorous orcs always spend more time on gathering!

For them, plant-based foods are inherently more difficult to preserve, and one-fifth of the food they stockpile every winter is always lost due to rotting and freezing.

Winter storage is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task. Just finding the food is much more laborious than for carnivorous orcs, and it even depends on luck in many cases!

Even in the previous two autumns, there was very little rain, and the fruits and wild grasses that the orcs often ate grew very little. That winter, many herbivorous orcs did not store enough food and eventually starved to death!

So if what the Linxi Sage said about planting is true, then they don’t have to worry about not finding food in the forest!
