Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming]

Chapter 2: Farming is not easy

Lu Wei was soaked all over, stayed for a while, quickly put his hand down, wrapped the leaf back with his left hand, cut off the contact between the ring and the sun, and the water dripping between his fingers slowly stopped.

He wiped his face subconsciously and looked at his right hand with some bewilderment.

After Lu Lin crossed over, in addition to his own consciousness, he also brought one thing-it was this ring on the index finger of his right hand.

When the ring shines on the sun, it can see a few drops of clear water; and drinking these clear water, although it feels no different from ordinary mineral water except for a slight sweetness, it can provide Lu Neng with energy for all day activities!

Lu Yan felt magical at first, but later he thought that such unscientific things had happened, and there was nothing to make a fuss about the appearance of a ring that absorbed sunlight to obtain spiritual water.

just…

When he used this ring to obtain spiritual water a few days ago, there was only one or two drops. Why did it suddenly blow out today and so much water came out?

In early spring, the temperature is still a bit cold. The whole body gets wet and it is easy to catch a cold.

In this primitive age, colds and colds are a life-threatening event. Lu Ling quickly put the cat down and looked around at no one. He tore off the animal skin on his waist, shook off the water on his fur, and wiped his body carefully. .

When he wrapped the soaked animal skin around his waist again, Lu Ling lowered his head and found that the white and yellow kitten was covering his eyes with his front paws, lying motionless on the ground, only the tail was waving helplessly.

—What is this Asian beast doing! How can you be naked in front of him? Really...

Lu Lin was amused by the kitten's soft and cute movements. He lowered his head and hugged his warm body, combed the wet fur, tucked it on his chest, and covered it with the animal skin on his upper body: "What? , Xiao Mi is still shy looking at Dad?"

The cat cub's wet fur stuck to Lu Weiguang's chest, and the whole cat trembled again, wondering if it was cold.

This cat cub was picked up by Lu Er when he went out yesterday.

When I found it, the kitten was not far from the tent where Lu Ling lived. It was dirty, but its eyes were round and cute. It seemed to be dizzy with hunger, but its posture and movements remained alert and alert. , So that Lu Er can't put it down.

When Lu Wei was young, he liked furry little animals. He had raised two cats himself. When he saw such a cute little cat, even if he couldn't eat enough, he couldn't help but bring it home.

—At least it’s good to have multiple companions and let him talk.

Anyway, he already has an idea to feed himself, and he should be able to raise one more kitten.

Xiao Mi is very human and smart. She never runs around. The only drawback is that she is a little bit cold and not too clingy. Lu Wei thinks he will always be avoided by him. He looks very resistant and makes him act coquettishly. I'm always too lazy not to respond.

When he was holding the cat, Lu Ling suddenly noticed that a few young plants of unknown plant had emerged in the red ground beneath his feet. The buds and leaves were tender green with a trace of red mud, apparently just shortly after the soil was broken.

Lu Er was very sure that when he stood here just now, nothing was long here!

—Then these tender seedlings are...

Lu Er thoughtfully, looked at his right hand.

If the spiritual water is beneficial to the growth of plants, he can indeed consider starting to reclaim fields and plant crops as soon as possible.

Lu Er has a strict temperament, and what he dislikes most is uncertainty. Whether it is the unstable distribution of food according to the tribe or the mysterious water ring on his finger, he is not willing to rely on him to fill his stomach for a long time.

After spending a few days getting acquainted with the world, Lu Er's first thought was to open his own fields for planting, so that he could also study the characteristics of plants in this world.

Based on his current understanding, there is no concept of "planting" in the tribe, not to mention farmland, not even a vegetable garden, which disappointed Lu Er who was accustomed to close contact with crops and vegetables in the experimental field.

After all, the animal skin was no better than the towel of later generations. After wiping it, it was still a bit cold. Lu Ling hugged the cat and quickly returned to the tribe.

On the way back, some of the orcs and sub-beasts in the tribe had finished their meal, with the aftertaste of a long-lost meal on their faces and were going out to collect them in twos and threes.

As winter passes and spring comes, plants begin to germinate, and some of the fruits produced in early spring can be picked and eaten. Their little tribe, because the two strongest orcs were killed and wounded, had a very difficult life, and there was no room for leisure.

The original body was autistic and didn't have much contact with them; Lu Wen was afraid of being exposed, so he didn't plan to communicate with them more, and walked back on his own with the cat.

But he didn't want to communicate with people, but some people didn't let him go.

A delicate figure stopped in front of him, his long tail stretched straight behind him, and his beautiful face was full of disgust: "Green ears! Everyone is looking for food outside, are you running out to play in the water alone?"

Lu Wei recognized that this person was the boy who was responsible for delivering food to him these days, and his name seemed to be "Long Tail".

The young man obviously had a deep hostility towards him-or to the original body. Lu Yan didn't find the reason from the original body's memory. For the time being, he could only take it as a soft persimmon that he likes to pick things and find faults and find the original body.

Lu Yan is not interested in playing with this kind of children who don't have the same hair. If you have that time, it is better to think about the planting plan he is planning to start, ignore him now, and want to go back around him.

Seeing that this previously cowardly green ear dared to ignore him, his face flushed red with anger, he stepped back two steps and stopped in front of Lu Er, and said loudly: "Green ear! I'm calling you!"

This time his voice was louder, which attracted a lot of passing orcs and sub-beasts to look over. He saw that it was the famous "catastrophe" in the tribe with green ears, and he quickly turned his eyes away.

Lu Ling stopped, expressionless, and looked at him lightly, "What's the matter?"

The boy was shocked by his look, took a step back, and felt like he was showing timidity. He stretched out his arms angrily: "I said, how can you lie in a tent every day and not go out to find food? Do you think Is the meat that the tribe distributes to you in vain!"

He paused, his expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice, "If you want to be lazy, I can help you cover it, but you have to give me the horn bone knife!"

After hearing these words, the kitten who had been lying still in Lu Er's arms suddenly raised his head alertly, and his blue pupils narrowed slightly.

Lu Er traveled through the three days, only to get the meat once, that is, the piece of meat that was not as big as a palm that was fed to Xiao Mi just now. If he didn't have a ring that could secrete spiritual water, he would have starved to death like the original owner.

He has just arrived and is not clear about the situation, but judging from the full expressions on the faces of the orcs and sub-beasts just now, I am afraid that other people will definitely get more than his weight.

Judging from the memory of the original body, the long-tailed young man in front of him seems to be innocent and charming on the surface, and has a good relationship with Green Ear. In fact, he has secretly threatened and bullied him many times.

These days, I have been thinking of ways to find land and plants that can be planted. Lu Wei was impatiently entangled with this young man, so he simply left a sentence: "How much meat is that, you should know it in your heart."

After finishing talking about the sudden change of the youth, he went back to the tent.

The boy thought that Lu Er would be like before. When he was intimidated by him, his whole body trembling obediently listened to his support. Unexpectedly, he touched a big nail and couldn't help becoming irritated. He shouted behind Lu Yan: "Lu Er! You are so lazy. Don't think about it again next time!"

Seeing Lu Wen leave without paying attention, the young man gritted his teeth and hated him, determined to give the green ears a little bit of color, bit his fingers and turned and walked away.

Lu Er didn't care about the division of meat that the boy said, naturally because he was considering planting some edible crops.

The two orcs who were able to protect him died and were injured. Now he is completely isolated and helpless. Others in the tribe are afraid of the nickname of the original "catastrophe" and are unwilling to deal with him.

Lu Lin is very self-aware of his combat effectiveness, knowing that he wants to go out hunting is a fantasy; expecting to collect food that grows naturally has a strong randomness.

Lu Er still likes a safe and regular way.

After thinking about it, I still have to do my job.

Before Lu Weichuan was a doctoral student of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of a certain university in China, he has also been in the experimental field countless times, and he has experience in planting and improvement. Although this world is completely different from the earth, plants grown under similar climate, soil, and humidity also have corresponding laws.

Moreover, now that the spiritual water produced in his ring was suspected to be able to accelerate the growth of plants, Lu Er was even more surprised.

After all, even though Lingshui could prevent him from starving to death, the emptiness in his stomach still couldn't be satisfied. That's why Lu Ling looked for the rhizomes of wild vegetables to chew.

From observations over the past few days, it seems that this tribe does not have the concept of "planting" at all, and its daily food is hunting and gathering for a living. With reference to the history of the development of earth agriculture, this kind of social stage that has formed a tribal structure, agriculture should at least enter the stage of slash-and-burn cultivation.

But in fact, let alone planting millet, rice, and vegetables, the orcs even the gathering economy is only at the initial stage, and the main source of food is almost all hunting.

And the tools of the "first warrior of the tribe" who had passed away in the house were all shallow grinding stones and bones, not even a harpoon, let alone bows and arrows.

Under such circumstances, how does the tribe ensure that they rely on unstable fishing and hunting for their livelihoods?

Having never seen orcs hunting, the doubts in Lu Lin's heart hovered for a while before being thrown behind his head.

The most important thing now is to grow food to fill your stomach.

When Lu Wei went out these few days, his professional habits made him stop and go, observing the surrounding soil and water.

The land of this generation is slightly red. Based on Lu's experience, the land is a bit acidic and the soil is also very sticky. If you want to plant crops, you have to consider improving the soil quality.

However, as a pilot, it is not very troublesome. Burning some plant ashes and turning it into the soil, and planting some radish-like cabbage like the kind pulled out today should be no problem.

The location of the planting was also selected by Lu Er, just behind the tent and very close to the stream.

In view of the degree of danger in the wild in the primitive age, Lu Yan did not dare to stay away from the tribe, so he could only choose nearby.

Thinking that he would soon own a field for planting and improving crops, Lu Yan felt enthusiastic and didn't want to delay a minute.

If he said nothing, Lu Wen took the cat cub back to the tent and sat by the fire. He slapped it firmly from its round hairy head to the tip of its tail: "Miss, dry the water on your body, Dad will take you. Go out and pick up some firewood."

Xiao Mi raised her head and looked at Lu Yan, her bi-colored eyes blinked slightly, and her round hairy face showed a trace of majesty, almost turning Lu Yan into a cute one, and ravaged him several times before it could react.

It is quite simple to collect plant ash. The main trouble is to improve the soil quality, and there is a great demand for plant ash. Primitive agriculture is to cut trees and burn firewood directly in order to cultivate a piece of land that can be planted.

Lu Er didn't have that ability alone, but fortunately, he was only a pilot project for the time being, only planning to cultivate a small piece of land.

I picked up some dead branches and hay nearby, piled them together on the land that Lu Ling was looking for, and ignited the fire from the campfire in the tent.

Seeing the firewood in front of him slowly lit up, Lu Wen panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little lucky: Fortunately, he hadn't reached the level of making fire by drilling logs.

If you want to simply improve the soil quality, in addition to plant ash, it is best to use organic fertilizer...

Lu Wei pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Mi who was squatting on the side and staring at the fire, and smiled kindly: "Mi, do you want to pull Baba?"

Mi: "Woo?"

—What is this Yamon talking about?
