Xiaoyue, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, kept swallowing her saliva the moment she smelled the meat.
Heiduo first gave the grilled fish to Xiaoyue, who happily took the fish and ate it in big mouthfuls. She ate it in big mouthfuls even though it was scalding and she was panting.
"Xiaoyue, eat slowly. Be careful of the heat." Aunt Qiao reminded her.
Xiao Yue was so busy filling her stomach that she had no time to answer Aunt Qiao.
At this time, Heiduo handed the other fish to Aunt Qiao.
Aunt Qiao saw it and pushed it away.
"Give it to Xiao Li. She needs more nutrition."
Jiang Li quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"Aunt Qiao, you eat first. I'm not very hungry now."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Aunt Qiao had to take the grilled fish from Heiduo and started eating.
There is Heiduo for grilled fish, so Jiang Li doesn’t need to do anything.
She looked at him out of boredom. He was squatting on the ground with his back to Xiaoyue. He was skinny and his spine was horribly protruding. He was just skin and bones.
"Aunt Qiao, how old is Xiaoyue?"
"Xiaoyue is already fourteen years old."
Jiang Li was stunned in disbelief.
The little girl in front of him looked shorter than the other three, but was actually older than them.
"If Xiaoduo hadn't passed on her spiritual power, Xiaoyue would still be in the form of a beast."
The girl kept her head down eating the fish, never stopping for a moment, as if someone would snatch it from her.
Seeing them like this, Jiang Li felt mixed emotions.
"Aunt Qiao, why can't your land grow food?"
Jiang Li wanted to understand the reason and also wanted to help them.
"Two years ago, the bear king found a bag of seeds from somewhere and asked us to plant them, saying that they were very scarce medicinal herbs in Mingyue and could be sold for a good price after they matured. At that time, we only planted a small piece of land, which did not affect the planting of food. But later, this medicinal herb was too scarce, and some orcs made a lot of profit from it, so they discussed with the bear king and asked us to plant medicinal herbs on all the land. We were unwilling to do so, for fear that we would have no food to eat. At that time, every household also stored a lot of food, and the bear king also repeatedly promised that he would not let us go hungry, so he insisted that all the land be planted with medicinal herbs."
"But what we didn't expect was that after the herbs were planted, the land could no longer produce food. The food at home could only last for a few months, so we started using spirit stones to buy food from other tribes. After the spirit stones were gone, the bear king began to plan to steal food from other tribes."
"The Snake King has a good temper and the Snake Tribe has enough food. At first the Bear King went to borrow some, but the food was quickly distributed and the Snake King didn't want to help fill this bottomless pit. The people in the tribe were angry and went to the Snake Tribe to rob food. Our family has more food than others, and with Hei Duo here, they didn't dare to rob, and we barely managed to survive for two years. But now there is really no food at all, so I asked Hei Duo to go with me to the Snake Tribe, and before he left, I repeatedly told him not to harm the snake orcs."
Jiang Li did see Hei Duo's behavior.
It was just as Aunt Qiao said, he did not harm anyone from the Snake Clan.
But he couldn't interfere with the actions of other orcs of the Black Bear Tribe, so he could only stay aside after taking the food.
But this is not a long-term solution for them. If it continues, they will either be beaten to death by people from other tribes or starve to death.
"Aunt Qiao, after we're done eating, take me to see your land."
Hearing this, Aunt Qiao and Hei Duo looked up at her in surprise.
"Xiao Li, do you have a way to make our land grow food again?"
Jiang Li pursed his lips slightly and said, "I can only go and see what the situation is with the land and see if there is any way to solve it."
Even though there was only a slight chance, Aunt Qiao was still very happy.
"Okay, I'll take you to see it after we finish eating." Aunt Qiao quickened her pace in eating the fish.
Hei Duo was worried about her health and suggested that he and Jiang Li go.
"Mother, I'll go with her. You're not feeling well. Rest well at home."
Jiang Li was also a little worried about Aunt Qiao's health, and echoed Hei Duo's words.
"Okay, then Heiduo, you take Xiao Li with you."
"good."
After eating the fish, Hei Duo took Jiang Li to the land where they grew crops.
In order to take care of her body, Heiduo deliberately slowed down his pace.
We finally arrived after walking for a long time.
"This is the land of our people." Heiduo pointed his finger.
Jiang Li nodded, bent down and squatted to observe the land.
The land was dry and covered with cracks of varying sizes, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
It is like a series of dried-up canals with no grass growing.
A helpless sigh under the rolling sunshine.
Jiang Li reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, then began to observe it carefully.
I recalled what I had read in a book before, and concluded that the soil had become acidic and salinized, and had no nutrients left.
No wonder no food can grow.
She stood up and looked at the bare land. Not even a weed could grow, let alone food.
Seeing Jiang Li staring at the ground in silence, Hei Duo stepped forward and asked.
"Jiang Li, how is it? Have you found out the reason?"
Jiang Li nodded gently, "I have roughly discovered the cause, but if I want to completely cure it, I need to make some plans when I return."
Hearing that the land could still be saved, Heiduo smiled happily.
"Great!" Now the black bear people are saved!
When Jiang Li and Hei Duo returned home, they found that Aunt Qiao had already prepared a room for her.
After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Li went back into the house and started bombarding the system.
"System, system, come out quickly! I have something urgent to discuss with you."
"What's wrong?" The lazy voice of the system came in my head, accompanied by a yawn.
"What's the hurry? I'm still taking a nap."
Jiang Li didn't argue with him too much and just stated his demands.
"System, do you have a way to solve the problem of the Black Bear Tribe's land?"
"You mean the land is rotten? Of course it is."
Hearing that the system had a way to solve the problem, Jiang Li smiled happily.
"Well, you still owe me compensation last time. I want you to heal the Black Bear Tribe's land. And give me some fast-growing seeds so they can harvest a wave of food first."
system"……"
Seeing that it didn't say anything, Jiang Li asked, "What's wrong? Is it not working?"
"It's not that I can't. I thought you would blackmail me with this compensation, but I didn't expect it to be such a small problem."
"How could I blackmail you? Am I that kind of person?"
System: "…" Weren't you the one who blackmailed me before?
After the system complained in its heart for a while, a bottle that looked like it was filled with dew and a bag of seeds and saplings appeared in front of Jiang Li.
"This is nutrient solution. Dilute it with water and pour it on the ground to restore the soil to its original state. After planting the seeds, pour it again with nutrient solution. After two days, the crops will mature. And these fruit tree seedlings are given to you."
