Jing nodded lightly without replying. Injuries can be cured with herbs, but herbs cannot cure fatigue.
After a while, Ji spoke again, "How is your eldest son? Is he safe?"
Jing moved his ears and looked into the distance. "It's okay. They pretended to be from the enemy tribe. We can't find them."
"Well, that's good. If the situation is not right, let them come to the northwest or go directly to the south." Ji felt a little relieved after hearing Jing say this.
After lying there for a while, he stood up and took two steps forward. All the orcs resting in the valley turned to look at him.
"Back to the northwest," he said.
On the other side, Tong's deputy brought people carrying the food sent by Qingshan City and hurried back to the northwest before winter.
He took the things and went straight to Tong, telling him everything Meng Yuqing had said.
Tong did not waste any time and personally took the tribesman who knew how to plant to enclose land suitable for planting, ready to start planting as soon as winter was over.
When Ji came back with his men, it was exactly the second day after Tong went out. The people who stayed behind in the tribe were extremely excited to see Ji back.
He rushed to Ji and said excitedly, "Ji, the people in the south have sent us a lot of food. As long as we don't turn into beasts, our lives won't be so tight this winter."
"They gave us a lot of food?" Ji was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said, "What's going on? How much did they give us? Take me to see."
Jing also frowned slightly. It was about to snow. If they sent too much, how would they survive the winter?
The people who stayed behind in the tribe took Ji Hejing towards the cave where the grain was stored. As soon as they entered the cave, Ji Hejing and his companions showed shocked expressions.
The two walked around the cave several times, and after confirming the amount of food, they looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
The two of them went back to their rooms with their heads full, and spent the whole night there. Tong hurried back after hearing the news that Ji had returned. He rushed into Ji's room with his men, all with a happy look on his face. Jing, who lived next door, also ran over immediately after hearing the noise.
Before the two of them could ask Tong about the details, Tong excitedly said, "Qingshan City sent us food. There's a lot of leopard meat and a plant called wheat. If we humanoids eat this plant, we can eat half as much meat without affecting our strength."
"They also sent us some good seeds they had selected. Their witch doctor said that we can plant wheat in the spring in this area, so we can plant it twice a year!"
"I know, Tong, don't get excited yet. I have something to ask you." Ji asked Tong to sit down first, and then continued, "I went to the cave when I came back yesterday. They sent so much food here. Can they survive the winter well over there?"
"Don't worry, they've developed it very well. As long as everyone works hard, they'll have enough to eat." Tong said decisively. "And last year when I sent someone there, I stayed there for a while. They keep wild animals in captivity, and they actually stayed in their designated areas and didn't run around."
"And they grow these plants for food, which means they raise them. They raise all kinds of edible plants. They have a very large area full of these edible plants. Can you imagine? In the fall, there are endless golden fields connected together. There's no end in sight. It's all edible!"
"They also selected seeds for us, so we can plant them in the right place! Furthermore, the witch from Qingshan City sent someone to bring us a kind of grass that can repel wild animals, and they also gave us some advice!"
"Unless the God of the God Tribe personally leads the army, they won't be able to defeat us. Even if the four major tribes join forces, I have the confidence to keep the northwest! Besides, can the four major tribes join forces? They are already fighting among themselves!"
Ji Hejing listened carefully to what Tong said. He could understand what he said, but he still needed to sort out the meaning slowly. After Tong calmed down a little, Ji Hejing asked more detailed questions about the information he had just heard.
Tong told Ji Hejing everything he saw and heard in Qingshan City when he went to the south, as well as everything that happened.
However, he had not stayed in Qingshan City for long and had only planted one crop of grass, so he called over the tribesman who knew how to plant wheat. This tribesman had been in Qingshan City for a year and knew a lot more.
So this tribesman told Ji Hejing everything he had seen and learned in Qingshan City in the past year.
The few of them chatted from noon to night.
After Tong and his tribesmen left, Ji walked to a huge rock outside the house and sat down, just looking at the moon in the sky.
Jing walked over and sat down next to him, and no one spoke.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji sighed and said, "They really did a great job. We couldn't compare to them back then."
He closed his eyes, his Adam's apple moved, and when he opened his eyes again, all the soft emotions disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented firmness.
"We have to buy them some more time. And... that half of the stone slab... and the cloud oak..."
Qingshan City is actively preparing goods for the Haicheng Market, and the tribes in the sea are not so peaceful either.
After Po completed the construction of Haicheng and Haicheng Market, he took his people back. In addition to the Blue Water Tribe, there were three other tribes not far from them who came out with him to build. Naturally, there was no need to notify these three tribes again. They would appear at the Haicheng Market on time next spring.
However, the entire Haicheng Market cannot be visited by only four tribes. As the leading tribe, the Blue Water Tribe naturally has to publicize the news about the Haicheng Market.
After he returned to the tribe, he swam directly towards the blue island in the center of the tribe. Most of the sub-beasts in their tribe lived on that island, and only a very small number of sub-beasts chose to live on the surrounding small islands, with one person occupying an island to himself.
As we approached the island, we could hear the sounds of playfulness. Many sub-beasts were picking up palm-sized shell beasts with their cubs on the shore. They were carrying bamboo baskets they had exchanged from Qingshan City and throwing the shell beasts they had picked up into the baskets. After a while, the bamboo baskets were filled with a lot of shell beasts.
A sub-beast moved its shoulders, as if to feel the number of shell beasts in the bamboo basket, and a sub-beast next to it also jumped on the spot.
"That's almost it, enough for today. I'm going to make spicy food today." A sub-beast said with a smile.
"Do you have any spicy seasoning at home? Mine is all gone." Another sub-beast sighed.
"Don't act pitiful. I know you still have garlic at home. You can make garlic flavor!" The first sub-beast didn't fall for it at all. The spicy seasoning packet in his house was only enough for two meals, so there was no way he would let this guy come and eat it for free.
