A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

She looked at it a few more times, and the more she looked, the more it looked like rice. Because it was still some distance away, she couldn't see it clearly, so Su Ling said something to Hu Xin, the orc who came with her to protect the gathering team, and walked towards the rice-like plant.

Sha and Hu Xin followed her and walked over together. Su Ling thought it looked like rice at first, but when she got closer and saw clearly that it was indeed rice, Su Ling quickened her pace and ran towards the rice.

Running to the rice, Su Ling's eyes were wet with excitement. She had been here for more than a month, and now she suddenly saw the rice. Thinking of the fragrant rice, Su Ling let out a series of obscene laughs like a pervert seeing a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Hey hey hey..."

He plucked a few grains of rice and was about to put them into his mouth.

Sha hurriedly stopped him and said nervously, "Su Ling, you can't eat this grass. It will irritate your throat."

Su Ling looked at the two nervous people strangely without saying anything.

"It's true. Once upon a time, an orc tasted the grass seeds and they got stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow them, and he couldn't spit them out. He even coughed up blood from his throat. It took him a long time and he ate a lot of food before he was able to swallow them. From then on, everyone would stay away from this kind of grass." Hu Xin felt his throat hurt as he thought about what happened.

Looking at the husks left by the birds on the ground, Su Ling felt both sympathy and confusion, "Why don't you peel off the husks before eating?"

Birds know how to shell the grains, so it’s possible that the orcs didn’t see the husks on the ground.

Hu Xin said as a matter of course, "How can their teeth compare to those of the beastmen? Besides, how long will it take to peel the shells one by one? Birds and beasts have such small appetites that they will be full after eating very little. If we peel the shells for a whole day, we won't even have enough for one meal."

Su Ling looked at Hu Xin. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too blatantly, for fear that he would think she was laughing at her. It was quite difficult to hold it back, as she felt that Hu Xin, the orc, was telling a joke in a serious manner.

Seeing Su Ling's expression, the two looked at her in confusion.

Sha asked directly, "Su Ling, you don't think this thing is edible, do you? Tell us what you know. If it is really edible, we can ask others to bring it back to the tribe."

Su Ling thought so too. The cold season was coming soon. If he didn't hurry up, he would not be able to finish the harvest and his delicious rice would be gone. He explained with a serious expression, "This plant is called rice. You have to remove the outer shell first and cook the rice inside. It tastes good and is very filling. It is also good for the body. I will find someone to harvest it when I go back. Rice is better than sweet potatoes and corn."

Instead of talking about other things like how high the nutritional value is, or whether it tastes good or not, it is better to compare it with the food they have already eaten, so that they can have the most intuitive imagination.

Sure enough, when they heard that it was something more delicious than sweet potatoes and corn, their eyes lit up and they kept saying that they must bring the rice back to the tribe.

After saying that, he went to call the collection team over.

Su Ling hurriedly stopped him and said, "We don't have any tools to harvest rice now, so we can't bring all the rice back to the tribe."

"What should we do?" Sha looked at her hands and then at the rice, feeling very unwilling.

Su Ling also wanted to bring the rice back to the tribe as soon as possible. She would be worried if she didn't bring it back. This was rice, and there must be no accidents, otherwise she would be heartbroken. But it was really difficult to harvest now, so she had no choice but to say, "After we collect it today, we will make some tools and come back to harvest it tomorrow. Now let's go back and continue today's collection."

The three of them reluctantly went back to collect.

After returning to the tribe, Su Ling found the tribe leader and talked about this matter.

The chief was pleasantly surprised to find new food again, and promised to arrange a gathering team to harvest the rice tomorrow.

Now that we have people harvesting rice, we need to think about what tools to use for harvesting. Su Ling fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking about and looked deep in thought, the clan leader asked in confusion, "Do you have any other questions?"

Su Ling came back to her senses and found that the tribe leader was asking her a question. After thinking for a while, she replied, "It's just that we don't have the tools to cut the rice. I'm thinking about what tools to use."

The chief suddenly realized, "This can be cut with a bone knife tied to a stick, or with the claws of a male orc."

Su Ling thought about it and thought this was the only way. Without a sickle, a bone knife would always be sharper than a stone knife.

He also told the chief to have the gathering team bring animal hide bags, and beat the grains on the spot after harvesting. They could then bring the grains back to the tribe without having to spend so much effort bringing back the rice stalks as well.

After returning to the cave, Su Ling washed up and lay down on the bed. Suddenly, she felt a little bloating and pain in her lower abdomen. She remembered that her relatives had to come to report once a month. However, this month they came at the end of the month, which was several days late. She had been very busy during this period and had even forgotten about this matter.

Su Ling was also quite helpless. She had already arrived in another world and had encountered such a fantastic time-travel event. Why couldn't she stop the relatives from visiting her once a month?

Thinking about not having sanitary napkins was like a blow to the head. Su Ling was completely disheartened and howled angrily, "This life is too difficult! Who can help me? This is really too much of a bully."

Fortunately, the cave where she lived was far away from other people, otherwise her howling would definitely attract other people who remained in the tribe.

……

After venting for a while, life still had to go on. I got up, burned firewood, took out some cloth, and made myself a few menstrual belts as a last resort.

Su Ling vowed to find cotton and make sanitary napkins, and toilet paper was also necessary.

The next day, as expected, Su Ling was unable to join everyone in harvesting rice.

Su Ling overslept and didn't go to the square. Sha was worried that something had happened to her. When she came to see her, she found out why.

I was quite surprised that Su Ling didn't have much of a reaction to her menstrual period. Su Ling looked puzzled, "What reaction?"

"When we females have our periods, we become so painful that our faces turn pale and our whole bodies tremble. Sometimes, the pain is so severe that we can't even stand up." Thinking of the miserable state she was in last time, Sha shook her body inadvertently.

Su Ling figured it out and explained, "That's probably because the clothes you usually wear are not warm enough, and your abdomen doesn't have any warming measures, so it's easy to catch a cold."

"You should keep warm during the days when your menstrual bleeding comes. Of course it will hurt if you wear that and use cold water."

Sha opened her mouth, "Is that so? But everyone has always dressed like this."

"So everyone is in pain, and if it's serious, it may affect fertility." Su Ling hoped that they would pay more attention to keeping warm, which is good for the body, and told them what was most important to them.

Sure enough, Sha was frightened. "No wonder it's so difficult for females to give birth. Many of them are born with poor health. I have to tell my father."
