A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Su Ling looked at Hu Yi beside her and was very moved. He was also wondering why the clan leader brought these things to her. It turned out that Hu Yi went to the clan leader to tell him. He must have often heard her say that she wanted to find seasonings, so she went to the clan leader to tell him. Who wouldn't be happy to have someone like this who unconditionally supports whatever you want to do?

"Thank you."

Hu Yi rubbed Su Ling's head, "There's no need to say thank you between us. Besides, I'm also lucky to find something edible."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Looking at the atmosphere between them, the other people felt full before they had even eaten much of the food.

"Ahem, Su Ling, is there anything edible?" The diligent and responsible clan leader broke the atmosphere between the two. After hearing Su Ling mention some plant names that they had never heard of, he was anxious to ask if they were edible. It would be even better if there were good things like sweet potatoes.

"Yes, Chief, you see these are all edible," Su Ling picked out several edible plants, "I have never seen the others, I don't know if they are edible. This is corn, like sweet potatoes, it can be made into a staple food and a crop. These are used for seasoning when cooking."

The chief had never thought that there really was food like sweet potatoes. He was a little excited when he thought that he might not have to go hungry during the cold season. "Can it be stored for a long time?"

The others also stopped eating and were waiting for Su Ling's answer. They thought the same as the patriarch and didn't want to go hungry anymore.

In the expectation of everyone, the answer was finally heard. "Yes, this can be stored longer than sweet potatoes. When it is fresh, it can be boiled or stir-fried. Now it is fully mature. After drying the corn kernels, grind them into powder, and you can eat them in other ways. You won't understand it if I tell you now. What you need to do now is to collect as much as possible. I will teach you how to make it later."

"Okay, okay, after we finish harvesting the sweet potatoes today, we will go harvest corn and look for other food."

"Chief, these plants can be cultivated artificially. I hope that in addition to the part that is used as food, we can leave some as seeds and plant them on the tribe's land after the cold season. This way, we don't have to worry about food problems every cold season."

"Can't they grow in the soil? Why do we still have to plant them?" asked the patriarch in confusion.

This was not just the tribe leader's puzzlement. Everyone present was puzzled. It took Blue Star a long time to develop from the hunting era to the farming era, and it took many generations of hard work.

On the way back to the tribe, Su Ling also learned from the conversation between the brothers Hu Yi and Lang Ji that the tribes have found that the number of animals they are hunting is decreasing. If this continues, one day the orcs will face a situation of food shortage all year round.

Su Ling explained to everyone the benefits of planting and the situations that would be faced. Everyone at the table fell into deep thought, thinking about the future of the tribe for the first time.

The patriarch even recalled that when he was young, the hunting team did not have to go so far to hunt, and they could bring back a lot of prey every day. Unlike now, the hunting team has to go farther to bring back enough food.

"Chief, I believe in Su Ling. Now that the number of animals has decreased, starvation in the cold season is a problem faced by every tribe. Planting is a good way out. And not everyone needs to plant. Some tribesmen can plant, and some can continue hunting."

Hu Yi always thinks longer-term than other beasts. If he lived on Blue Star, he would definitely be a very powerful person, Su Ling couldn't help thinking. And this person is mine now, and she feels happy just thinking about it.

"Don't worry, Chief. We can not only plant crops, but also raise livestock. This way, we won't have to worry about having no meat to eat."

"What is breeding?" Hushan asked hurriedly after hearing something he didn't know again.

"We capture those animals that are relatively docile and easy to reproduce and keep them in captivity in the tribe. They reproduce every year, so we always have fresh meat to eat."

The more they listened, the brighter their eyes became.

"But can they be kept alive?" the witch couldn't help but ask. As a witch of a tribe, she was also very concerned about the future of the tribe.

Su Ling didn't say anything final, "We have to give it a try. If it succeeds, we won't have to worry about food anymore."

"When the hunting day comes, we'll bring some back and try to raise them. We'll always succeed." Hu Yi believed what Su Ling said.

"Okay, it's decided. On hunting days, you bring back some living animals and try to raise them. If you are successful, the tribe will raise them on a large scale after the cold season." The patriarch made the decision.

Su Ling was very happy to get this result. She couldn't help laughing when looking at Hu Yi. Hu Yi saw how happy she was and smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, I came to see Hu Yi for another matter today," the clan leader looked at Hu Yi again.

Hu Yi frowned in confusion, "Is there something wrong, Chief?"

"It's like this. Didn't a group of tribesmen go to the trading day? They should have returned at this time in previous years, but this year it's already raining, and if they don't return, they will miss the hunting day. I want you to take some people out of the tribe to greet them and see if anything has happened."

After the hot season, there will be more than ten days of heavy rain. One month after the rain stops, it will suddenly enter the cold season. This month is the hunting season for each tribe to store meat for the cold season, so this month is very important to the tribe.

The members of the trading team are also very important. Salt is exchanged on the trading day every year. If the members of the trading team cannot come back, there will be no salt supply in the future, and the clan leaders will have many health problems.

Hu Yi had been busy recently and had forgotten about this matter. "Okay, I'll take someone to check it out tomorrow."

Hushan said hurriedly, "I'll go too."

Hu Yi said nothing and just nodded at him.

After finishing the business, Dahuo continued to attack the food. The orcs really had a good appetite. Whatever food they prepared was in super large portions. Several people finished it all. Then they drank a cup of sticky honey water with satisfaction. They were all full.

After resting for a while, Hushan and Sha helped to clean up the mess, and everyone said goodbye and returned to their own caves. Before leaving, Su Ling gave him the food reserved for Hushan's father and mother, and also gave Huya a small tube of sticky honey. He was so happy that he couldn't stop showing his two little fangs.

Hushan patted Huya who was grinning foolishly, thanked Su Ling, then took Huya and the food back to his father's cave.

The valley was already filled with moonlight. The moon here was always round and looked bigger.

The two of them sat together and admired the moon leisurely. Su Ling asked, "You will leave the tribe tomorrow. What can you bring back?"

The two have never been separated since they met, and Su Ling feels a little reluctant to let go.
