A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

It has been raining for ten days in a row. Although the Tiger Tribe is located in a valley, fortunately the terrain is in a stepped manner and slowly leads down to the outside of the tribe and merges into the big river outside the tribe. It has never rained so heavily for so long that Su Ling is afraid of a flood.

Hu Luo had already made the spinning machine two days ago, and the tribesmen were using it very smoothly. He also made two more looms. For the orcs with disabilities in their hands and feet, he arranged work within their capabilities for them.

They were very happy to be able to work again and no longer felt like a burden to the tribe, and smiles gradually returned to their faces.

Corn had already been ground into flour yesterday, and everyone went to grind corn. Male orcs still prefer physical work to weaving, so Su Ling returned to the weaving cave, and Hu Yi stayed at the mill.

During the cold season, the tribesmen will live here, so they cannot weave here all the time. The chief has led the tribesmen to start digging a hole not far from the big cave.

It seems quite convenient, but after living in the cave for a long time, many orcs have grown old and suffered from rheumatism, which is what orcs often call bone pain.

After the cold season, the house must be built first. Su Ling thinks that if she lives in the cave all the time, she will definitely suffer from rheumatism before she gets old.

Once the orcs live in the houses, they will know the benefits of houses.

Su Ling was daydreaming about the future when she looked up and glanced casually in the cave. She saw the orc named Hu Lie, the first person she saw when she came to the cave that day.

There was not much relaxation on his face. He was doing the work in his hands numbly. Because he was missing a leg, he was sitting on the ground the whole time.

From his body shape, it can be seen that he must have been a strong orc before he was injured, but now there is not much flesh on his tall frame, and he is even thinner than Tiger Wing when he first met him.

Losing a leg seemed to have taken away most of his life, and nothing else interested him much.

When given work to do, he just moved mechanically. There were several people like him. Su Ling thought that they must want to stand up more than working.

Su Ling was also very sad about their current situation and wanted to help them again.

Although it is impossible to grow a broken leg, there are ways to help them move again, such as wheelchairs, crutches, and prosthetic limbs.

The simplest thing now is a crutch. After thinking about what to do, Su Ling went to find Hu Luo who was obsessed with carpentry.

Su Ling found Hu Luo and told him about these objects and their functions.

When Hu Luo heard what Su Ling said she was going to do, he took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Su Ling.

Su Ling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped the man up, "Uncle Hu Luo, what are you doing? It's just such a small matter, why do you give such a big gift?"

Hu Luo took a deep breath, but his voice was still trembling. "Su Ling, on behalf of disabled beastmen like me, I want to express my gratitude to you. These things may seem trivial to you, but for us, they can help us stand up again, which is no less than a new life."

Su Ling didn't expect that such an auxiliary tool, which was known to everyone on Blue Star, would be so important to the orcs. She believed that even if she didn't say anything, Hu Luo, who had great confidence in the development of carpentry, would be able to make them soon. What he lacked was guidance.

"I believe that even without my suggestions, you will soon be able to think of ways to improve the problems caused by your inconvenience in your legs and feet, and you will definitely be able to do it by then."

"That's possible, but I don't know how long it would have been. Now that you've told me these things, when I'm done, I can help many people get new lives ahead of time."

Su Ling had no way to refute this and could only leave the cave first and let the excited Hu Luo study his next work.

When they returned to the cave at night, Su Ling told Hu Yi what happened today.

Hu Yi rubbed Su Ling's head and said, "You are very good and deserve their gratitude. For you, crutches and other things are very common and simple."

"But for the orcs, being well fed and clothed is the most important thing, and what they have to do every day is only related to these things."

"And the things you proposed are things that no one ever thought would appear. Without your reminder, these things might appear many years later, or they might never appear at all."

Well, it's because she is too knowledgeable compared to the orcs.

In the next few days, all things in the big cave had been arranged, so Su Ling and Hu Yi no longer went to the big cave. Instead, they returned to their cave and ground the corn in the warehouse.

Su Ling used corn flour to make all the food she could think of for Hu Yi, such as corn porridge, corn rice, and corn tortillas...

I also got some corn starch out. It had been raining, so the corn starch could only be placed in a bread oven and dried with the residual heat. It can be used in many dishes in the future.

While enjoying the food, Hu Yi did not neglect his studies. In just ten days, Hu Yi has mastered the knowledge of second and third grade primary school. His progress is quite rapid.

Looking at the incessant rain, Hu Yi had been studying for most of the afternoon. Su Ling had also been making clothes for half a day. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Hu Yi who was still working hard. She felt really tired.

He walked over to Hu Yi and sat down. "Hu Yi, you've been studying here for the whole afternoon. Aren't you tired? You should make sure to combine work with rest."

Hu Yi finished writing the last word, put down the branch in his hand, looked at Su Ling with a smile and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Hu Yi certainly didn't feel tired. He wanted to learn everything Su Ling knew as soon as possible, but it was just a thought.

Su Ling was just tired, and Hu Yi had been studying for too long, so she wanted him to rest his eyes and brain. She couldn't think of any good suggestions for the time being.

After turning his eyes around for a few times, he smiled brightly and said, "Let's make sweet potato vermicelli. It's delicious. You will definitely like it."

Thinking of the taste of hot and sour noodles, Su Ling's mouth couldn't help but drool.

Hu Yi stood up, bent down and pulled Su Ling up, "Let's go, what should we do? Do we need sweet potatoes?"

Su Ling smiled and said, "Yes, there is no shortage of water for washing sweet potatoes now, which saves a lot of trouble." After that, she went to the warehouse with Hu Yi to move the sweet potatoes.

Cut the washed sweet potatoes into small pieces and grind them into paste using a stone mill, following the same steps as for corn starch.

When the sweet potatoes are mashed into sweet potato puree, add appropriate amount of water and stir evenly until all the washed sweet potatoes are mashed.

Su Ling cut a piece of cloth that the patriarch gave her before she came back and used it to filter the sweet potato puree. She washed the filtered sweet potato residue again with water and then squeezed out the water.

If others knew that they used cloth to filter the sweet potato residue, they would definitely scold them for wasting such precious cloth. However, no one saw it, so they used it without any guilt.

By the time the sweet potato puree was filtered out, it was already completely dark.
