With the entire village mobilized, the wheat was won over by all the females and humans in the village in just half a month. This year, the Haitang family received a quarter less than last year, but that was to be expected.
After finishing with the wheat, Haitang didn't rush. Instead, she started processing the game and making sausages. Everyone had enjoyed the sausages from last year, so naturally, this year's sausages would be just as delicious.
The ten acres of land belonging to Haitang don't require high-quality soil, so beans were planted after clearing the land. These beans have sprouted recently. Xiuxiu went to see them and was quite surprised. Haitang would occasionally sprinkle some water, but she didn't take much care of them.
The wheat has all been brought back, and Haitang is about to go with Shishu and the others to find herbs. She tells Xingxing to stay home and watch the house, while Xiaohe goes out with Yueyue to find food.
Xiaohe is the one in the family who knows the most about food. Although Yueyue and Xingxing are twins, Yueyue, as the older brother, is more reliable.
Of course, Xingxing is also very reliable. What does Xingxing do at home? He pulls weeds at home. His sister said that soil with weeds will absorb the nutrients from soybeans, making it difficult for soybeans and sweet potatoes to grow tall.
So he went to pull weeds and irrigate the feed. He was quite busy, and sometimes the children from Xiuxiu's family would come out and be a little surprised to see him.
However, the children didn't come to play because the wheat at home was being dried, and they also had to husk it; every household had a lot to do.
The crabapple trees were planted in the village by the villagers. "When spring comes, the trees are all green and there is food everywhere."
“That’s right, it was like this every spring. And thanks to your wheat, no one in the tribe starved to death last year,” Stone Tree said. Hearing this, Hetang frowned again. “But Hetang, why did you cultivate those lands? Food is everywhere, why grow it yourself?”
"They're everywhere, but what if they suddenly disappear one day?" Begonia suddenly asked, and Stone Tree was slightly taken aback. "If a natural disaster suddenly strikes, what will we eat then? Nature's gifts are unreliable; it's better to grow our own," Begonia said.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly taken aback. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's start looking for medicinal herbs. Also, if we find anything edible, let's bring it back with us."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Shi Shu nodded. Shi Shu was the person who knew the most about herbs. Although other beastmen also learned quickly, they ultimately had different levels of talent.
Haitang wanted to find more Ganoderma lucidum in these mountains to help the Eastern Dragon Beast transform, but the problem was that this treasure wasn't something you could just find anytime.
Although I didn't find any Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains, I did find a lot of good things, mostly fruits, but they were all green and inedible. Of course, apart from fruits, the most common thing I found was Chinese yam.
The discovery of Chinese yam and crabapple immediately prompted everyone to start digging it up. Chinese yam is a good thing; it can be roasted, used in porridge, or added to soup, offering a myriad of flavors.
We've gathered quite a few Chinese yam and crabapple trees. In this situation, we'll just carry them back. As for the medicinal herbs, the crabapple trees will be used to prepare medicine for everyone, and they'll also treat patients while preparing the medicine.
Haitang's medical skills are widely recognized in the tribe. Other beastmen also come to Haitang for treatment of their injuries, and Haitang will treat them directly. Because of this, she even keeps medicine for injuries in this house, and Xingxing will bandage them.
Haitang carried her basket back home and saw the commotion not far away. She ran over and pushed through the crowd to find a boy on the ground with gruesome wounds on his shoulders and chest.
"Fire Spirit..." Haitang recognized the boy. Fire Spirit and she had a good relationship, but before winter two years ago, the boy found a female and had less contact with her.
"Haitang... do you think there's any hope for this child?" Haitang immediately squatted down. "Xingxing, go get your sister's bag." Xingxing nodded immediately upon hearing this.
Haitang began to clean Huoling's wounds with hot water. It wasn't caused by a wild animal, and Haitang didn't bother to ask any questions. "Uncle, please press on Huoling's wounds for me," Haitang said.
Fire Spirit's father immediately nodded and pressed down hard. Haitang began to sew with needle and thread. She had given the sewing kit she had received last time to Xiaohe, but she also kept some for stitching up the wound.
Fire Spirit was struggling, and Stone Tree immediately reached out to hold it down so that it wouldn't be difficult for Begonia to stitch up the wound. While Begonia was stitching up the wound, Star immediately wiped the sweat off her sister. Fortunately, the wound was stitched up, and Begonia applied medicine to Fire Spirit again before having it carried away.
"Uncle, I don't think this wound was caused by a wild animal. What happened?" Haitang asked. The wound was clearly the work of an orc.
Because there were fragments of stone on the wound, marks left by stone tools, "Huo Ling's wife ran away with someone else, and Huo Ling was so angry that he chased after her and was injured by those people."
"Wait, why did Huo Ling's wife run away?" Haitang was a little surprised. She rarely interacted with people from the upper village and mostly dealt with people from the lower village.
"The snake clan, the snake clan came to make an exchange, and they seduced the Fire Spirit's wife." Hearing this, Haitang frowned.
"Wait, this isn't the first time the snake clan has done this. Why should we accept their trade? Aren't we doing well enough?" Haitang frowned and asked. Huo Ling's father and the others were slightly taken aback. "Uncles, perhaps my words carry little weight, but you should understand the situation. Are we lacking in the tiger clan now? We have plenty of food, and our porcelain is cheaper than what we get from outside. So why do we still let those people who come here all day to seduce our females?"
