The Beast King's Little Wife

Chapter 022: Caution

The prospects she presented sounded promising, but Hu Buluo and the others just laughed it off after hearing the rest.

"Female, your imagination is too vivid. Some people in our village have tried raising animals. But in the end, they ended up in their bellies. Haha..."

Hearing the laughter of these grown men, Lin Dujuan was not discouraged; on the contrary, she was full of fighting spirit.

"I will definitely succeed."

She clenched her fist secretly and vowed to create a prosperous and idyllic countryside where everyone could live a healthy and happy life.

The next day, Hu Buluo and his men lit a fire for lighting and began their work.

They dug until they could see the rocks below, but still no salt flats appeared.

"Stop digging. All we'll find here are some rough, salty stones. The salt content in these stones isn't high; they'll only cause these trees to mutate. Let's look elsewhere."

After inspecting the site, Lin Dujuan could only regretfully state this decision.

It's impossible not to be disappointed.

Tiger and his men looked at the huge pit they had been digging for so long and reluctantly filled it in.

And this area was kept in its original state.

"This precaution is necessary to prevent the cat people from finding out what we are doing."

Before leaving, Huya explained it to Lin Dujuan in this way.

This situation made Lin Dujuan even more aware that in this area, she had to be careful in every way to ensure her safety.

All those salted fruits were picked and taken back.

The salt fruits on the trees were all picked and placed in makeshift tree nets.

After erasing the traces, the group turned and headed back to the tribe.

Shortly after leaving, Maoduoduo arrived in this area with a middle-aged man.

"I can still smell their lingering scent; they must have stayed here."

The middle-aged man sniffed for a while, then spoke with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"They must have stayed here for quite some time, looking for something. It seems the people of Huxi Village are up to something we can't imagine. Tell the tribe to keep a close eye on their movements."

The middle-aged man was clearly a person of high status; at his command, everyone around him responded loudly.

After the group arrived in the village, the salted fruit was distributed among the villagers.

The reality remains that there is a salt shortage.

However, they couldn't find any in the short term, so the villagers finally had to decide to use some of the animal hides they had recently hunted to exchange for salt.

After all, the village has several hundred people, so the amount of salt needed is quite large.

Seeing mountains of animal hides brought out, only to be exchanged for a bag of salt, Lin Dujuan deeply felt that the tribe's poverty had its roots.

Just exchanging supplies from outside is really painful.

“Female, stop looking. Let’s go clear the wasteland. I don’t know if the wasteland you mentioned is feasible. Also, we’ve started trying to grow those vegetables you mentioned. Especially the millet you mentioned, we’ve started planting it in large quantities.”

Because millet rice is delicious, the villagers happily accepted this new way of eating.

Therefore, many villagers have started planting on a large scale under the call of Tiger Mom.

The reason it was Tiger Mom who called for this was because she is the village chief's wife.

As for the village chief, he generally only manages the affairs of the men.

Tiger Mom, on the other hand, was in charge of all the women's affairs in the village.

However, ever since Lin Dujuan proposed planting these things, Tiger Mom has gathered some women in the village who have planting experience and love planting to join in.

A few days earlier, Lin Dujuan and her team had gathered a lot of edible wild vegetables and fruits to plant in areas with water sources.

Today, what they need to do is clear the land and start cultivating it.

When we arrived at the wasteland we had chosen earlier, we were surprised to find several elderly people waiting there.

“We also want to see how the females do the planting. This kind of planting work has always been something the villagers have wanted to do. Unfortunately, until now, no one has been able to grow a large number of plants.”

The elderly man at the head of the group, his face covered in wrinkles, said regretfully.

Lin Dujuan clenched her fist secretly.

Tell yourself, planting is definitely possible.

"Let's work together to clear a large area around this point, making sure the fire doesn't spread to the forest in front, so we can clear the land by burning."

Lin Dujuan implemented a method of burning wasteland for planting.

The so-called "burning land for planting" means setting aside a piece of land, burning it, and then using the ashes to cultivate the land and plant crops.

However, the first plants were wild vegetables.

Many hands make light work; dozens of people worked together and soon cleared a large area of ​​land.

After igniting the fire with dry firewood, the entire area was burned down in no time.

It was impossible to plant them on that day.

It took three days to turn the soil before planting the vegetables.

“From now on, our village will start digging squatting pits.”

Lin Dujuan still feels a headache when this matter is mentioned.

Because there's no place to squat in the village. Many people who are more particular about their toilets go to the mountains and forests outside, then bury them in mud.

Some people are not particular and will even squat by the roadside to relieve themselves.

Therefore, when walking on the main road in the village, the most important thing is to be wary of bombs or similar items on the ground.

Lin Dujuan was completely unaccustomed to this custom.

"A squat toilet!" someone asked, puzzled. Tiger Mom, however, understood; after hearing Lin Dujuan's explanation, her family had already built a squat toilet in advance.

"It's a place where you can poop. You can poop in a concentrated area without making a mess of the surrounding area."

Lin Dujuan nodded, "That's right. Our village can't stay dirty and messy. We need to build special squatting pits. More importantly, those smelly pits can be used as fertilizer later."

The orc wives were all stunned when they heard about using stinky crops.

They asked a lot of questions, and Lin Dujuan patiently answered them one by one. Only then did they nod, "When we get back, we'll have the men build squat toilets so we won't go hungry anymore."

For them, not going hungry is more important than the environment.

Soon after, the whole village began building squat toilets.

This sparked a new wave of enthusiasm for building thatched huts.

Because only Huya's store has squat toilets, many people came to observe. They were even more surprised when they discovered that their squat toilets were divided into male and female sections.

"With thatched roofs, there's no need to worry about stinking even when it rains. It seems that building this squat toilet was necessary."

Many people were certain of this, and the digging of pits began throughout the village.

While everyone in the village was busy, Lin Dujuan and Hu Mei were speeding across the grassland.

"Tiger Sister, it's the cliff over there. I need to dig something up there."

The long stalk that looked like it was bearing golden wheat grains made her seriously suspect that what was growing there was actually a wild millet!

Just as Lin Dujuan was carefully descending the cliff, a long, green snake was coldly staring at the creature that dared to invade its territory from the shadows...
