Survive in the beast world

Chapter 100

The weather is getting hotter, and with the successful results of the language class, the new females have integrated into the group, cultivated feelings with their males, and with their help, built their own tree houses according to their preferences.However, everyone has reason to believe that soon, these tree houses will become new houses again.

Bai even took the time to lead the males to build a new meeting hall, and everyone finally had a place to sit and gather.

At the same time, the corn kernels are gradually full, and the harvest is about to begin.Li Shizhen suspended his groping about weaving and pottery making, and led everyone (mainly females) to rush for a while, and the harvest went smoothly, even more than when he was in Xuefeng Valley. It is that their planting area has greatly increased, and the second is that they have a lot of experience.

At least for their current number, even if they only eat corn, the corn is enough for a year.I think the reason why this kind of corn was chosen as food at the beginning is precisely because it is easy to grow, has low requirements on soil and climate, and has a large yield at the same time.

However, considering that the males in the valley eat a lot of meat, they now have a limited number of livestock, which are takins brought down from the snow peaks for hauling, and some herbivores they caught later. Those who can't eat are raised.The current number is not enough to supply all the meat needs of the males, they still need to hunt around.

But as the number of people increased, the scope of their raids became larger and more frequent, and one day there might not be enough prey around them.

Li Shizhen roughly estimated this time and scope. The scale of livestock breeding in the valley must be expanded as soon as possible. If there is a surplus of corn, they can even use corn to raise animals, without being limited by the current planting area of ​​forage.

So after the corn was harvested, Li Shizhen immediately organized the plowing, fertilization, and planting. Everyone is used to these processes. It doesn't matter if the new females don't understand it for a while. This is just an opportunity for them to get acquainted.

After the second round of planting, the females can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a rest. Recently, it has been really hard. From harvesting to planting, they have not stopped at all. Everyone has lost weight and tanned a lot.

The work range of the males has gradually moved closer to the waterfall. According to Bai's idea, they cleared a safe passage to the river, and at the same time ensured that there were no large predators near the large water source.

Because they need to patrol and hunt more at this time than before, it is more difficult to spare manpower to help the female side.

The females are quite understandable, and this is also to make the surroundings of Howling Valley safer. Although they work hard in the valley, the males are more dangerous outside.

Bai Ting felt sorry for Li Shizhen, which was no different from any male in the valley: "Can I take a break after I've been busy all this time? See, you don't even have time to eat recently."

Li Shizhen didn't care much, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's been hard work for a while now, and I can gain a little more before autumn."

Bai touched his cheeks, and he lost weight: "Didn't you collect a lot before? It's enough. It's enough for me to lead the team to hunt more prey in autumn. Why bother?"

Li Shizhen held his hand: "It's nothing. The surplus food can be stored at that time. I don't know if there are any prey around in winter. If there is no winter, a variety of food can feed a lot of livestock."

Bai clasped fingers with him and didn't speak for a while.

Li Shizhen raised his head and looked at him.

Bai, on the other hand, felt a little bit guilty. If he hadn't insisted on going out of the valley to toss about these things, Ah Chao probably wouldn't have worked so hard.

Li Shizhen could see what he was thinking, and smiled: "Everything is fine now, and things here are gradually unfolding as planned. Ah Yun found a good piece of soil nearby. I will lead everyone to burn pottery in a few days. At that time, we could still build a new house and make iron molds, and the hard work was only temporary.”

Bai smiled: "Don't be too tired yourself, let others take care of you if you have anything to do." Bai didn't worry about this anymore, and changed the subject casually: "That one named Bu, changed his human form? It changed when I went out, I think he's adapting pretty well now."

Li Shizhen nodded: "It's similar to your situation at that time. It only happened after you became an adult. First, you had a high fever, and then gradually changed. It's also very dangerous. Fortunately, everything in the valley is complete, unlike ours at the time... ..."

Bai Wuyan hugged him, the encounter by the river was indeed one of the most difficult times they have experienced, compared with that, the hard work now is nothing.

Li Shizhen said in a low voice: "I don't know what the key to this change is. I'm afraid that such orcs are not only you, but also others. If we can know this, we can help similar people in the future."

Bai frowned: "I don't know. Orcs are born in the shape of a beast, and when they grow up, they can gradually turn into a human shape. It should be the same with the cubs of the Bu family. Myself, I was born in a human shape. I don’t know why I suddenly changed into a beast form, and I can’t return to the human form for a long time, and you know the rest.”

Li Shizhen leaned on his shoulder: "In this way, your situation is different from his. Is there anyone else who is in the same situation as you or Bu?"

Bai lightly stroked Li Shizhen's back: "There shouldn't be many people like me. But I met quite a few people like Bu in the south."

Li Shizhen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue, so he put it down for the time being. He wanted to say something, but gradually became sleepy, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Hearing the long breath in his ear, Bai smiled slightly, put the female in his arms on the bed, and covered him with the animal skin.

When firing pottery that day, Li Shizhen asked the females to participate. This time, from the selection of high-quality clay to the construction of the kiln, they have been fully discussed and tested. Li Shizhen and Ayun are very helpful. confidence.

The area of ​​this cellar is not large, it is only dug one meter deep on the slope, and the diameter is only about one meter. The top is sealed and fuel can be added from the side.

In order to increase efficiency, Li Shizhen also inserted stone slabs on the cellar wall, placed the prepared pottery embryos on it, and could make dozens of pottery in one go.The raw materials used for these pottery embryos were all discovered by Ayun on the river bank at the mouth of the valley, and now the males are also required to mine the corresponding stones from there and bring them back to the valley.

In order to ensure a stable temperature, the structure of the entire cellar is relatively airtight.

On the other hand, Li Shizhen made an improvement in Ayun's description, instead of using firewood as fuel, he used charcoal. For this reason, he also opened a charcoal-burning pit next to the pottery pit.

These pottery embryos made of clay were also made by the females during their playfulness. In order to distinguish them, Li Shizhen also asked them to lightly engrave characters on the bottom of their respective pottery.The things the females make are simple and practical, nothing more than bowls, spoons and cups. Li Shizhen doesn't pay attention to the shape, but everyone has worked so hard for so long, and this pottery making can be regarded as a reward.

After everything is ready, prepare enough charcoal fire in the cellar for firing.

Considering that the heating takes a long time, Li Shizhen divided the females into three shifts, kept heating continuously for a day and night to maintain the temperature, and then stopped heating to let the cellar cool down automatically.

When the cellar was opened, everyone was looking forward to it, and even many idle males came to watch. After all, their females have been nagging about this for the past two days, so it is difficult for them to know.

But the final finished products surprised Li Shizhen himself. It seems that this can no longer be called pottery, and the crystal luster on the surface already has the shadow of porcelain.Although the quality of these things is not so stable, probably due to the uneven temperature, there are occasional cracks, but the finished product with a cyan luster has surpassed the Beicheng utensils that Li Shizhen saw.

Ayun was also a little stunned, he didn't expect Li Shizhen's final finished product to be so beautiful, even better than what he saw in Beicheng.He knew that Li Shizhen, a female, was different, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful. Not only did he create something based on his own narration, but he also improved what he said. For a while, everyone, including Ayun, watched Li Shizhen's eyes were a little surprised.

However, what Li Shizhen thought in his mind was that this is probably due to the influence of temperature. If bricks are to be fired next time, it must not be sealed at such a high temperature. As for the mold or something, this temperature is good and can make the surface smoother. Fewer holes.

But in short, Li Shizhen's original intention was achieved. The females who received their respective containers were all smiling, and the fatigue for a period of time seemed to disappear.The pursuit and enthusiasm of the females for these beautiful and delicate things is far higher than that of the males, and some females are already asking Li Shizhen when he will burn the cellar next time.

However, the sound of a whistle from a distance temporarily interrupted everyone's lively discussion and exchange.

Li Shizhen was a little surprised, this voice, who came to Howling Valley?

When he arrived at Taniguchi, he saw a few males sending Yang Apa back to Howling Valley from a distance. Their team was very large, not only a few of them, but also many people. Looking at the child, and others, Yu and Ashi are also in the team!

Li Shizhen frowned worriedly, on Xuefeng... what happened?How could the female and her cubs be transferred to Howling Valley first?

Li Shizhen and Bai discussed the possibility of everyone moving to Howling Valley. After all, Xuefeng is too isolated from the world, which is not conducive to development, but it is absolutely impossible to be so fast. Their development in Howling Valley has just begun. .

Bai obviously also heard the whistle and escorted them back together.

Taniguchi was not the place to talk, so Li Shizhen only smiled and greeted the acquaintances, leading them to rest in the hall.

When Bai went forward with him side by side, he had already explained the reason of the matter carefully: "There is a change on the mountain, Apa and the others are worried, let Asha and the others come down with all the cubs and children first."

Li Shizhen was very worried, what kind of change made the Appas who had no confidence in Howling Valley prefer to let the cubs move here first?

Bai was also a little worried: "They said that white smoke suddenly started to rise from the north of the valley, and the ground could occasionally feel vibrations. But the Appaams refused to leave the holy fir, and only let the cubs come down first."

Li Shizhen was shocked for a moment, he didn't even have time to hide it, grabbed Bai's hand and asked loudly: "What did you say? White smoke?! Shock?!" Then without waiting for Bai's answer, he said firmly: "Everyone leave there immediately, Must be fast!"
