Chapter 267 Primitive Beast World Cubs 41
The next day, the first thing Shen Ci did upon waking up was to put a saddle on the horse.
The foal has been well-fed and cared for at home for so long, and doesn't have to do any work except eat and drink every day. It's gotten much fatter than when it first came.
If people live in comfort for too long, they will become numb and lose their fighting spirit, let alone horses whose intelligence has not yet been developed.
The foal hadn't yet adapted to life as a wild horse when Cangye captured it and raised it with humans, making it much more docile.
The most temperamental animal in the family right now is the pheasant, then the sheep, then the cow, and finally the horse.
Before he knew it, he had so many animals at home. Just feeding them grass and preparing hay and water every day kept Cangye busy.
To save trouble, Cangye made several large water tanks and placed them in the breeding area to store water.
If it rains, these water tanks can be used to collect rainwater directly from the sky. Normally, people just go to the candy bar to fetch water and pour it into the tanks when they come back.
The water tank is closer to the animals, making it much easier to feed them water each time.
And so, the orcs, who originally knew nothing, improved through practice and spontaneously learned how to make things easier for themselves.
This could be considered a way to promote evolution.
The saddle was made of animal hide and wood, with a rope around the horse's neck; it was roughly made, and it looked quite decent.
Shen Ci had already trained the ponies to mount, dismount, and steer.
The docile pony is very obedient, but it's a bit slow and doesn't run very fast. However, even though it's slow, it's still much faster than a person.
This time, Shen Ci rode a horse, while Cang Ye ran on his own, carrying some dried meat, water, a lighter, and most importantly, a basket and a knife.
Wild chili peppers typically live in mountainous areas, the edges of forests, or on barren slopes, where moist and sunny environments are more suitable for their growth.
The horses galloped across the ground, stirring up a cool breeze, and the gray areas on the map were gradually being lit up at a rapid pace.
This map is large, but you need to explore it yourself to unlock new areas.
With horses as a means of transportation, the speed increased significantly. We galloped all the way, but the horses were still too small. We had to stop every now and then to rest, drink some water, and eat some grass.
Walking and stopping along the way, Shen Ci found a wild Sichuan pepper tree. She stopped and picked some peppercorns and leaves from the tree, all of which could be used for cooking.
Then they dug up the entire pepper tree, put it in a basket, and prepared to transplant it back home.
Anyway, this basket will never be full and will never have any extra weight. Since it's a rare opportunity to go on a long trip, bring back as much as you can, and collect as many supplies as possible, preferably seeds.
With seeds, you can grow them yourself and not worry about running out of resources.
We passed through another forest, and at its edge lay a hilly area.
The low slopes of the hills were covered with small trees, small, green and short, with red and green fruits hanging on them.
"Chili peppers! It really is chili peppers!"
The moment Shen Ci saw those bright red chilies with her own eyes, she wanted to kneel down and cry. She could already imagine the taste of the chilies dancing in her mouth.
Some foods that you haven't eaten in a long time will make your mouth water just by mentioning them.
I rushed to the chili field. All the chilies here were wild, covering a small slope.
These chili peppers are a bit different from the ones I usually buy; they are smaller, thinner, and smaller, and come in both red and green.
Wild chili peppers are generally spicier than cultivated chili peppers, this is on a general basis.
"My dear child, were your people poisoned by eating these red berries from here before?"
Are you sure these saplings are growing in this spot?
Shen Ci confirmed again and again, after all, some plants look very similar and are related, but some are poisonous.
"right!
It was in this very place that we were later forbidden from coming here.
Cangye assured him with absolute certainty that he remembered this place very clearly; his clansmen would eat here and then collapse.
Shen Ci asked the fatal question.
"What happened to your people in the end? Did they die?"
Cangye was stunned. It really wasn't! The clansmen hadn't died; they were just in excruciating pain, writhing and turning on the ground in a terrifying manner.
"without.
He drank a lot of water and soaked in it for a long time, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He didn't recover until the next day.
However, his mouth was swollen shut from the poison; it was a huge lump.
Cang Ye gestured as he recalled the scene, still feeling lingering fear. What kind of poison was so terrifying?
That's good, Shen Ci can rest assured.
Their lips were swollen from the heat. These wolves had never eaten chili peppers before and didn't know how to eat them.
I thought it was some kind of fruit, but if I took a bite, wouldn't it be incredibly spicy?
Even humans don't usually eat chili peppers like this; they usually add them to dishes as a seasoning. These beastmen are too audacious.
"It's okay, they just don't know how to eat it."
Okay, you don't need to pick them for me, go play for a while.
Be very careful when touching this fruit; never touch your eyes directly with your hands, or it will hurt terribly. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly in the river first.
Just to be on the safe side, Shen Ci decided to do it herself, and she took out her homemade gloves.
It was made of animal hide, the gloves were very rough but very sturdy, with five fingers that could be inserted, and a rope tie at the back to fasten them.
Put on your gloves and let's get started!
What if this chili pepper happens to be some kind of devilishly spicy variety? If you touch it directly with your bare hands, you're just unlucky.
To prevent the flavors from mixing, Shen Ci took out another basket from the first basket and put the chilies in it individually.
Whether they're red or green, remove them all!
These chilies are left here, and no one else will eat them. If wild animals accidentally eat them, they'll think they've been poisoned.
Leaving it here is harmful and wasteful.
Most of the chili peppers are ripe, some even turning a deep reddish-yellow; if they aren't picked soon, they'll fall off the ground.
The small patch of chili peppers was quickly picked, weighing about two or three pounds. Shen Ci didn't intend to waste the remaining chili seedlings.
I directly pulled out more than a dozen plants and packed them up, leaving a large portion on the hillside to continue growing and propagating.
Even if the chili peppers I brought back couldn't be successfully grown, at least some of them will still be preserved here.
There was no need to worry about a lack of seeds; she only picked the peppers from the branches, leaving the ones that had already fallen to the ground untouched.
The seeds that fall out will continue to grow, thus preserving the spark of life.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
