Haitang nodded, but felt uneasy, sensing that something big was about to happen. If something was wrong with the tribe in the middle, then it was impossible for other places to be safe.
Haitang pursed her lips, deciding that the most important thing right now was to store up food. "Xiaohe, don't plant soybeans this year, plant sweet potatoes instead..."
Sweet potatoes and corn can be stored for a long time and can stave off hunger, so keeping them is the best option under such circumstances. Haitang knows that most of the people in the inner circle who ran out were doing so because of food shortages.
Haitang nodded at her words, and then placed the sheep in front of the two wolves. "Sniff, this is our stuff, you can't bite it..."
"Ooh ooh ooh..." The two huskies immediately barked, as if to say that they understood. Haitang rubbed the heads of the two wolves.
“Yes, good boy. You can’t take things from the house, and you can’t take things that other people in the tribe keep. You can take things from outside however you want,” Haitang said, the two wolves wagging their tails.
Haitang actually wanted to say that you are wolves, not dogs, but never mind, wolves and dogs are of the same generation anyway. After Haitang started herding the sheep, she went to wash her hands and took the skewers from Xiaohe.
While they were grilling meat, Dongfang Long gave Haitang some honey. When Haitang saw it, she simply nodded and put it down. Dongfang Long happily ate his own food, but when he saw Dongfang Long put a flower wreath on Haitang's hand, he couldn't help but feel that his food didn't taste as good anymore.
"..." Haitang looked at Shi Hu and stared at Dongfang Long, telling him to sit down. Dongfang Long then obediently sat down not far away and stopped talking.
After eating, Haitang sat down not far away and began to draw the loom. She used several leaves while sketching it. This was a big project and needed to be done slowly.
It took five days to finish painting the crabapple blossoms before I gave it to Qiao Yu. When Qiao Yu looked at it, she said, "It's doable, but the problem is complicated; we need to take it slowly."
"It's alright, we can take it slow," she said, planning to see if there were any silkworms. If they could raise silkworms, they could make the best cloth.
"Father..." Haitang said when she got home. "Which tribe did we exchange the cloth we brought back from outside?" Haitang asked.
“I don’t know, but it should be the Silkworm Clan. I heard that they are born with the ability to weave cloth. However, the cloth on the outside seems to have been taught by the Turtle Clan,” Shi Hu said.
Upon hearing about the Turtle Clan, Haitang glanced at the Eastern Dragon not far away. The Turtle Clan has a very long lifespan and knows a lot. Under such circumstances, they are called wise by other tribes. The problem is that even wise people cannot protect themselves.
Just like how the dragon race, despite its power, was wiped out by others due to the difficulty of transforming into beasts, and the human race was sold and played with, the legendary dragons, even if they were human, would be more satisfying to torture.
"What, do you want to weave cloth? I thought the things you drew the other day were a bit strange," Dongfang Long said while eating. Haitang nodded.
"I have this idea, but there's nothing I can do right now. I'll have to wait and see. By the way, Father, I'm going out for a bit," Haitang said, heading straight to Huoqiu's residence.
She returned from mining iron ore a few days ago, and it should be ready for shipment now. Under these circumstances, she has to try her luck to see if she can get what she wants.
Huo Qiu was just eating at home when he heard Haitang calling him. He opened the door and, unsurprisingly, Dongfang Long was standing behind Haitang.
"How many knives has the tribe made? When can you get us some knives for cutting vegetables? You also need to give each of the females a small knife for self-defense," Haitang said.
"For your self-defense?" Huo Qiu was stunned, while Hai Tang nodded.
“Yes, just like that,” Haitang said, letting Dongfang Long carry her. “Then I’d slit my throat with a knife. A stone knife is too dull, definitely not, but an iron knife might be better; it would definitely slit my throat in one stroke.”
"..." Huo Qiu looked at Dongfang Long, who had put Haitang down, and subconsciously touched his neck. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He suddenly felt that Haitang was quite ferocious.
“There’s no other way. Right now, the tribe has to give every orc a gun, and then one to the human race as well. Under these circumstances… the tribe doesn’t have any extra for your daily use,” Huo Qiu said. “After all, the inner area is arid, and your father has told you about the northeast volcano. Many people are moving outwards now. It would be better if they didn’t come here, but the problem is that some people might be driven here. If we have fewer people on our side, we’ll be easily bullied. It’s necessary to have more self-defense.”
"I've heard about what happened on the northeastern volcano side. Did a lot of people die?" Haitang asked, and Huoqiu nodded.
"When I went to the trade fair last time, someone said that the Lion Clan and the Snake Clan suffered heavy losses on the other side of the volcano. The Snake Clan will probably come to our side. No matter how many people come, the Snake Clan will definitely want to expand their territory. They were scared off by the fight a few days ago. The problem is that those snake cubs hold grudges. If a large number of Snake Clan people come this time, they will probably instigate them to come and seize our territory."
Haitang was a little surprised. Hearing this, she nodded. Huoqiu went back into the room and got something for Haitang, who was stunned. "These iron arrows are for your orcs," Huoqiu said.
Haitang glanced at the seven or eight animals, nodded, thanked them, and left. Dongfang Long looked at Haitang. "Tangtang, you didn't get what you wanted,"
“I got it. I came here to collect the interest anyway. What do you think I went to all this trouble for no reason? Of course, I wanted to get more good stuff for my family. Huo Qiu isn’t stupid.”
