After a busy day, almost everyone was exhausted, including Haitang. She rubbed her shoulders, washed up, and went back to sleep.
These days have been so tiring. Of course, being tired is one thing, but I'm also very happy. Haitang reached out and touched her cheek. She's lost weight today, so she won't have to go hungry tomorrow.
While Haitang and the others were busy, Shiming rarely went to collect materials. Sometimes he would take the ceramics out and trade them with people from outside the village, not far from the village entrance.
Although the outsiders were puzzled by the city wall, few of them asked questions. They were just a little curious about how it was built with stones.
A ditch was dug in front of the city wall, which was a distance away from the city wall. Sharp bamboo poles were placed everywhere along the path to prevent anyone from deliberately jumping over it.
However, the bamboo was hidden by the grass and could not be easily spotted. But if you jumped over it, you would get pricked. It was Haitang and Huoqiu who suggested this.
After exchanging some porcelain items, Shi Ming happily carried them back home.
Haitang went out to harvest wheat today. The whole family is very energetic. They also have rice at home, so making enough to last for six months is a piece of cake.
Of course, Haitang planned to farm in the winter as well, so she asked someone to get bamboo strips for her to build a greenhouse for winter farming. However, this greenhouse was only for one winter. Although it was troublesome, it was profitable, so she still paid for it.
Although Xiaohe didn't know what Haitang was going to do, she trusted her sister completely and didn't ask any questions. After harvesting the wheat, sweet potatoes, and soybeans, she started planting sweet potatoes and soybeans.
In the greenhouses at Haitang's house, Haitang traded a pig for human help. Shi Hu asked Haitang about this, and after hearing her explanation, he nodded in agreement.
However, the human race did not want the large pig, but instead chose a sow piglet to take back and raise, and Haitang agreed.
Spring passes by the fastest, and winter is fast approaching, but even so... the villagers are still going out to gather food, and the orcs are intensifying their hunting.
Haitang dressed up and packed her things, planning to go to the trade fair with the group the next day. Shi Hu was worried about his daughter, but he couldn't go with her.
When she learned that Shi Shui was also going, she told him a lot of things, "Brother, don't worry, I won't lose Haitang, you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hu nodded and looked at Haitang, saying, "Don't be too willful when you go. Stay with your second uncle and don't run around." He was worried about her not going with him.
"Yes, Father, don't worry, I'll be careful." Haitang nodded, with a small bag hanging from her waist and some small bottles on her back, filled with wine. The wine was filtered, making it taste better.
Haitang climbed directly onto the back of Shishui, which had turned into a giant tiger not far away, and said goodbye to Dongfang Long and the others. Dongfang Long was very worried when he saw Haitang going alone, and looked at her pitifully.
But he couldn't go with them. He was human, not beastman, so there was no point in him going. In the whole tribe, only Haitang was the only female who went with them; the rest were young and strong beastmen.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Huo Qiu looked at everyone and said, "This time, the journey to our destination will take three days and three nights. We must be careful on the road. Also, Haitang is the only female who is going with us. We must take good care of everyone."
"Yes." The orcs not far away nodded immediately. They all knew Haitang. Of course, Haitang didn't know them, but that didn't stop them from recognizing Haitang.
The village's wheat... Although the orcs are more interested in meat, the problem is that there are children at home, and the females need to raise them.
In this situation, the appearance of wheat was undoubtedly the most valuable resource, because many of the village's previously thin children became increasingly plump and healthy, and they were all quite grateful to Haitang for this.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Haitang said. Upon hearing this, the people immediately shook their heads, indicating that it was no trouble at all.
"Alright, let's go." Huo Qiu said, and before setting off, he handed Haitang a shawl and draped it over her shoulders. "It'll be cold on the road, so put this on your second uncle, otherwise you'll easily fall off." Haitang nodded at the cushion-like thing and put it on.
Sitting on them under these circumstances was much easier, and everyone quickly transformed into beastmen, disappearing into the village in an instant. There were about a hundred people who went this time.
The orcs who remained in the village were all elderly, not as strong as those who went. Under these circumstances, the village immediately closed its gates, and "everyone was on high alert."
With such a large number of people going to the trade fair, other tribes would take advantage of the situation to rob and attack. In order to avoid being attacked, the remaining orcs have been taking turns guarding the entrance.
Now that there are city walls, you can see not far away just by standing on them. Ten people are selected every day to take turns watching over the area, and the tense atmosphere has become known to the females in the village.
In modern terms, the village's fighting strength was at its weakest. Shi Hu instructed his family, "Xiao He, you and Xing Xing stay home obediently. Xiao Ha, you watch over your master too." Xiao Ha immediately wagged its tail. Shi Hu was stunned for a moment, thinking, "You're a wolf."
As for Erha, Shi Hu told Yueyue and Xiaolu to be careful when they go out to find food. There's plenty of food at home, so we're not worried about not surviving the winter. Don't go too far.
"Don't worry, Daddy, we'll be careful." Yueyue nodded immediately. He was also a little worried about his sister, but even though he was worried, he couldn't stop working all day because of this.
