The wolf pack started coming to the vicinity of the gathering points because food was scarce outside. In response, the tribe's orcs began to warn the females to be careful when going out.
The female was quite docile. She was terrified a few days ago and spent many days at home farming. Fortunately, the harvest was good, so she had no choice but to stay home and farm.
Gu Yue couldn't manage; she had to go out to gather resources alone. Under these circumstances, Chang Ning had Gu Yue take Da Ha out when her mother wasn't going out.
Xiuxiu didn't object, since Daha had nothing to do at home anyway. Xiuxiu was very grateful to Changning, as she had no other way to farm.
It's not that she doesn't know how, but that even if she plants now, there won't be enough food to eat quickly. Winter is coming soon, and Gu Yue doesn't want anyone in her family to starve to death during the winter.
Under such circumstances, all that could be done was for others to stay home and for oneself to work hard to gather resources. Haitang, on the other hand, didn't go out, as Dongfanglong put it.
With enough food at home and enough plants to eat, there was no need to risk going out. Under these circumstances, Haitang could only start cultivating medicinal herbs.
Cultivating medicinal herbs requires more thought and effort, and Haitang has put in even more. Seeing Haitang's dedication to the herb garden, Dongfang Long felt a pang of sympathy. The problem…
Going out now is dangerous, because due to the drought, many wild animals are starting to approach the tribe. Since the orcs don't go out, they can hunt good things in the surrounding area.
Dongfang Long sat down next to Haitang and started watching her water the plants. He then took a flower and tucked it behind Haitang's ear. When Haitang looked at him, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"It looks good," Dongfang Long said. Haitang reached out to touch her hair, but her hands were covered in mud, so she stopped. Dongfang Long said, "Recently, wild beasts have started to approach the tribe, so it's best for the females not to go out."
Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded and said, "Hey... there are fewer and fewer plants outside, so some herbivores will run away. Wild animals can't find prey in this location, so they can only head towards the tribe."
Carnivores have their own territories, but herbivores don't. Carnivores from other places are happy to accept the arrival of herbivores.
Carnivores around the tribe will choose to approach the tribe because there is little prey, and females are the best choice because they are weak and delicious.
Haitang was in the tribe when Dongfanglong and the others returned quickly because... when they came back, they were carrying their prey on their backs, which they threw on the ground and began to skin.
Haitang started tidying up her things not far away. After Dongfanglong skinned the sheep, he put it on a wooden frame and started roasting it. Haitang started preparing the spices.
While grilling, Dongfanglong added spices. After Haitang absorbed the spices, she went over, ate a piece, and found the taste was still a little lacking. Then she took over.
After eating, Gu Yue went back to study medicine. Gu Yue looked a bit disheveled today. She hadn't gone far and had almost encountered danger.
"The tribe will be closing tomorrow, and the gates for gathering will be closed," Gu Yue said. Wild beasts roam outside the tribe, and they might sneak in. If this continues, everyone will be in great danger.
The tribe's young females have young orcs, and if wild beasts enter without adult orcs, things can easily go wrong. In such cases, the only option is to close the entrance.
In this situation, Gu Yue was unable to go out to gather vegetables, and Hai Tang was also powerless to help, as she had vegetables at home.
The greens are sweet potato leaves, which taste quite good. There's no shortage of crabapple blossoms, but there's a lack of lonely moons.
Under such circumstances, Gu Yue began to work for the tribe, and the tribe provided her with food.
Of course, the little girl did a good job and received a lot of food, but with so many people in her family, it was impossible to feed everyone under such circumstances.
Haitang started making medicine at home. The ointment was for treating wounds. After making the ointment, Haitang put it away and went to the backyard to pick wild vegetables with a basket on her back.
There are still wild vegetables in the village, lots of them in the corners. After picking some wild vegetables, Haitang started making soup and cooking other dishes.
Dongfang Long also returned from hunting. Because the gate was closed and guarded, Dongfang Long watched as the wild boar returned, and its head was roasted and eaten.
"Are there still wild beasts approaching outside?" Haitang asked while eating, and Dongfang Long nodded.
“Hmm,” Dongfang Long said, “Because of the city walls, those things can’t get in. There are places that have been hit, but there isn’t much damage.”
If wild beasts outside want to come in, the people inside have to agree first. Hearing this, Haitang nodded, ate her food, and then started stretching her muscles outside.
Gu Yue came to study medicine much less often because winter was approaching and she needed to store up food. Under such circumstances, she could only look for food in the village.
The village was large, and there were always corners that hadn't been plundered. She found some sweet potatoes in one of those corners, carried them back in baskets, and made some into sweet potato flour and some into dried sweet potatoes.
There was still wheat at home, not much, but enough to last for a while. Lonely Moon started counting the days, checking if there was enough food to get through the winter.
The food at Gu Yue's house was just enough, barely enough to eat, but not much... Gu Yue was worried, but fortunately, as winter approached, Gu Hu and the others were given a holiday.
Only after being told that he could hunt on his own did Gu Yue breathe a sigh of relief. The little beastman brought back a wild boar, but it seemed unlikely that he could finish it.
It was used to make sausages. Pig's blood can also be boiled and eaten. On the first day, a big pot of pig's blood was enough for my younger brother and sister.
