Primitive people don't know how to plant, and they rely on hunting and gathering wild animals to fill their stomachs. Spirit beasts are not so easy to catch. Even if there are warriors with awakened skills, few orcs can catch spirit beasts without getting hurt. If they encounter spirit beasts with skills, it is common for a few orcs to die. If they are injured, they have to recuperate and cannot go out hunting. There are also people who are directly disabled, and all these people need food.
So the only thing they could do was to drive the old people out, otherwise the children would starve to death. In the orc world, the old people were useless beings.
The witch swallowed hard but still refused: "I don't want anything else, I want salt. At worst, I can sell the salt rock to another tribe."
"Wu, you need to think carefully. Putting aside other people's concerns, don't you still need to learn 2,000 kinds of herbs? I heard from An that you don't even have an apprentice yet? If you can't eat and sleep well, how many years can you last?"
"We still have some clothes here. They're the ones we gave Feng Yu as a gift when we arrived at the tribe. Wearing them will keep you warm in the winter."
"There's also a quilt. I don't feel cold at all sleeping under it on winter nights."
"There's also an iron pot that can be used to boil water and cook meat until it's soft enough for children and the elderly to chew easily."
"The kitchen knife is sharper than Hoshinojo's weapon."
"Medicine, antipyretic medicine, diarrhea medicine,,,,
"You have medicine that can reduce fever!" the witch exclaimed.
Wu was terrified of the bone-chilling cold every winter, especially when it snowed. Even if he blocked the cave entrance with stones, it couldn't keep out the cold air, and everyone shivered with cold.
When winter comes, the entire tribe huddles together, relying on each other's body heat for warmth.
Every winter, many orcs fall ill due to the cold, especially young orcs with fever. The witch has no way to treat them and can only watch the young orcs die.
There are also medicines for treating diarrhea, a disease most common among the elderly and children, mostly caused by eating bad meat or undercooked meat. With these medicines, how many deaths could be avoided in the tribe?
Not only medicine, but also iron pots, clothes, quilts, etc.
Tang Qingxi's series of words opened Wu's eyes. It turned out that there were so many things in the world that he had never heard of.
Wu also wants to learn these herbs, and raise a child who can inherit all his knowledge. He also wants to see what the Fiery Tribe will look like after learning boxing. To do all these, he must live a long time.
With these things, Wu thought he should be able to live for a long time.
Wu gritted his teeth and made a great decision, saying, "Then I don't want the salt. You can buy all the rest. What else can we use?"
That's right. We have exchanged so much food, and it will be infested with insects if left for a long time. What's more, there is the rice tree and the bacon leaves that we are going to trade for the Fiery Tribe. The food is definitely enough for more than a hundred orcs. It's time to consider other problems.
"How about exchanging a pound of herbs for something?"
"no problem."
"Then I'll give you the grain and salt we traded earlier. Where do you think I should put them?"
"Put it in the cave at the top. It's safe there."
"Xian, let Feng go with me. The cave is too high for you to climb up."
"No, I can't count them all. I want to follow you." The witch found Feng and carried him up to the cave at the top.
The cave at the top was very dry and was a good place to store food. Tang Qingxi took out the rice and noodles and put them on the ground.
Bags of grain piled up like a small mountain. With tears in her eyes, Wu stroked the grain and murmured to herself, "I won't be hungry anymore. I won't be hungry anymore!"
