Chapter 145 Forest Tribe
After leaving the desert, Yuanyuan asked the system to send them to a grassland tribe.
I was immediately drenched in a downpour as soon as I landed.
"This rain has been going on for a long time."
Su Xue picked Yuanyuan up, avoiding the puddles on the ground. "Luckily we changed into raincoats and rain boots beforehand, otherwise we would have been soaked to the bone."
Zhang Cheng shook the rainwater off his raincoat. "The path in the forest is slippery, everyone walk slowly and watch out for the potholes."
Chen Youwei walked at the front, holding a machete in his hand, occasionally cutting through the vines blocking his way.
"When I left last time, the wild beasts were rampaging, but now it looks quite peaceful."
The forest was difficult to walk in the rain, and Yuanyuan didn't want Su Xue to carry her and add to her burden.
"Aunt Su, you can just put me on Xiaobai's back."
At this moment, Little White had transformed into a beast, a red rabbit as big as a tiger.
Su Xue and the others were still shocked when they saw it again.
"Uncle Chen, let Xiaobai lead the way!"
"He's quite familiar with it."
"OK."
Yuanyuan clung to Xiaobai's back, looking around curiously. The trees in the forest were tall and thick, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun, and raindrops dripped down the leaves, forming small streams of water.
Occasionally, the roars of beasts could be heard from afar, but not as frequently as before.
After walking for most of the day, the view finally opened up, and a lush green grassland appeared before us. Xiaobai's grassland tribe was located in the middle of the grassland.
From afar, orcs spotted them and immediately cheered as they ran back to their tribe to report the news.
Before they could get close, the chieftain led a group of orcs to greet them.
"Yuanyuan, you've finally arrived! Quickly, let's go into the tribe."
The leader greeted Yuanyuan before looking at the little white dog beneath her, "You brat, you still know how to come back."
...
Once inside the village, Yuanyuan discovered that they had done a great job with drainage; despite two months of rain, the village had not been flooded.
The leader of the Azure Feathers prepared wooden huts for them and provided them with clean animal skin clothes to change into.
Yuanyuan's room is the same one as last time.
After changing clothes, you can come out and enjoy hot barbecue.
After we finished eating, it got dark.
Yuanyuan thought she would talk about it the next day, so she said goodbye and went inside to sleep.
The next morning, Su Xue cooked white rice porridge.
Eat it with grilled meat.
"Little messenger, is this the food you were talking about, the one that tastes even better than wild fruits and roasted meat?"
The shaman, suppressing his excitement, asked, too embarrassed to ask for a bowl of water.
“Yes!” Yuanyuan nodded, then turned to Su Xue and said, “Aunt Su, why don’t you cook some for them to try!”
Su Xue put down the bowl, started washing the pot, scooped out some rice, rinsed it clean, added water, and started cooking.
"I didn't cook much porridge this morning, so I won't share it with you. Wait a little longer, and Aunt Su will cook you some even more fragrant and delicious rice."
"Good, good, good, little envoy, you are very kind."
The tribe's beastmen all gathered around, staring curiously at the pot, occasionally craning their necks to smell the aroma wafting out.
"It smells so good!"
A young orc couldn't help but swallow hard. "It smells better than roasted meat, and the taste is different too."
"You'll see when it's cooked."
Before long, the rice in the pot was cooked. The moment the lid was lifted, steam mixed with the aroma of rice wafted out, filling the entire tribe with its fragrance. Su Xue ladled a bowl and handed it to the chief and the shaman.
Wu carefully took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly. "Delicious, soft, and a little sweet."
The other orcs also tried it, and they all showed expressions of surprise, repeatedly saying "Delicious!"
Some even ate it with their hands, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.
"Eat slowly, it's very hot right out of the pot."
Yuanyuan looked at them and couldn't help but laugh. "As long as you're willing to learn, I'll teach you how to grow rice, and your tribe can eat this every day from now on!"
"Really?"
"Of course we'd love to!"
The tribe's shaman nodded repeatedly and bowed respectfully to Yuanyuan.
"It is a blessing for our tribe that the young messenger is willing to teach us."
"Okay, if possible, you can inform the orcs from nearby tribes to come and learn together. That way, everyone will be able to eat their fill and there won't be any fighting or destruction."
"Alright, I'll go and offer sacrifices to the Beast God right away, and notify the shamans of all the nearby tribes to bring their smartest and most capable warriors to learn from me!"
"No need to force them. It's the rainy season now, it's not safe to go out, and the roads are difficult to travel. If they want to come, they can come; if they don't want to, that's fine too."
"Such good food can feed everyone, so it's worth the danger. They definitely won't refuse."
After saying that, the shaman led several orcs to the tribe's sacrificial altar.
"They are so kind, trusting me so much, and not afraid that I am lying to them."
"Because you're here to help them." Su Xue patted her head. "They all know that you brought good things."
………
For the next few days, Yuanyuan and her friends waited for people from other tribes in the grassland tribe.
Chen Youwei and Zhang Cheng didn't sit idle; they started teaching the orcs of the grassland tribe how to make farm tools, binding the metal sheets they brought to wood to make sharp hoes and plows.
"This hoe is much better than claws!"
An orc, holding a newly made hoe, tried digging in the ground and easily dug a hole, shouting with joy.
"And there's this plow thing, you just put it on and pull it, and it turns the soil really fast."
As Zhang Cheng demonstrated, he explained, "To grow rice, you need to soften the soil and have water. These tools will be useful."
Su Xue helped Yuanyuan sort through the rice seeds. "Soaked seeds germinate quickly, so when people from other tribes come, we can teach them how to plant them directly."
Yuanyuan squatted to the side, her little hands rummaging through the seeds soaking in the water. "We also need to tell them that the land for planting rice should be near a water source."
"really."
She thought it would take at least a week. To her surprise, only three days later, several tribes arrived.
Yuanyuan roughly counted and found that there were more than a hundred people.
This is just a few tribes, and more than a hundred people have come. It will take until two or three hundred people are all here.
A large group of people, but all of them showed respect when they saw Yuanyuan.
The leader was a shaman from an unfamiliar tribe. He walked up to Yuanyuan and bowed deeply: "Little envoy, we are from the Shanxi tribe. We heard that you are going to teach everyone how to grow enough food, so we came here specially."
"We are from the Heihe tribe..."
One by one, the shamans and orcs from various tribes stepped forward to pay their respects, their tone filled with awe.
Yuanyuan was a little flattered and quickly waved her hand, "Everyone, take a rest and have some water. Once you've rested, I'll teach you how to grow rice."
The tribe's beastmen immediately brought water and dried meat, and the beastmen took the water and drank it in large gulps.
With so many people arriving at once, they had to squeeze into one room as a tribe and were responsible for their own food.
No one objected to this arrangement.
After resting for half a day, Yuanyuan began teaching everyone how to grow rice.
The seeds that I soaked in advance have sprouted.
She led the beastmen to a clearing on the edge of the grassland, near a small river with plenty of water.
Today is a rare cloudy day; it didn't rain.
