Chapter 79 Planting Ground
"There are a lot of interesting little things there that you will definitely like. However,"
His eyes became serious as he looked at Qingyan, "By the way, tell Qingyan to take you there when the time comes. He must protect you well. If you lose even a hair, I won't forgive him."
When Qing Yan heard this, he straightened his chest immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect Hao Yue."
He patted his chest and said it with confidence.
Qian Jingyao nodded. "I hope you'll keep your word. Let's set off now. First, let's go check on the millet. Then I have to go to the hunting team to prepare. The rainy season is coming soon, and we need to store enough food."
After saying that, he took Xia Yueke's hand and walked towards the planting team.
One of them was a tall and mighty bear orc with thick fur.
Seeing Qian Jingyao, he greeted him warmly:
"Young Patriarch, where are you going?"
Qian Jingyao responded with a smile:
"Let's go to the planting team. The clan leader hopes Xiao Ke can go there to play and get familiar with it."
The bear beastman looked at Xia Yueke and said with a smile:
"This is your little female. How adorable."
There is also a cat beastman next to her. She has a light figure and very cute cat eyes.
She looked at Xia Yueke curiously and said to Qian Jingyao:
"I heard the tribe leader wants the little female to join the planting or gathering team. That's a good idea. We can't keep her in the cave forever. This little female looks very smart and will definitely adapt quickly."
Qian Jingyao nodded: "Yeah, I think so too. I hope she can have fun there and make some friends."
As soon as Xia Yueke saw the cat-orc, surprise flashed in her eyes and she immediately took the initiative to greet him.
This is her first time meeting a cat person! She is so cute!
Before Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan could react, she had already arrived in front of the cat beastman.
She tilted her head back, her eyes wide open, filled with undisguised fondness and curiosity, "Hello!"
Xia Yueke's voice was soft and a bit childish.
"You're a cat beastman, right? You're so cute!"
She said as she circled around the cat-orc, examining him closely.
The cat beastman was a little overwhelmed by Xia Yueke's sudden enthusiasm, but was soon infected by her innocence and started laughing too, with kindness in his eyes.
"You're such an interesting little female."
Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan looked at each other, and saw helplessness and doting in each other's eyes, and walked over with a smile.
Qian Jingyao pulled Xia Yueke away and said, "Keke, we can't delay any longer. We have to go to the planting team soon."
Although Xia Yueke was reluctant, she nodded obediently and followed Qian Jingyao forward quickly.
Along the way, Xia Yueke chattered about how cute the cat-orcs were, while Qian Jingyao listened gently, reminding her from time to time not to be so reckless next time.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll pay attention next time!"
Xia Yueke spoke quickly, stopping Qian Jingyao from continuing his long speech.
Qian Jingyao was extremely helpless. The three of them walked for about twenty minutes and finally arrived at a plantation near the tribe.
The planting area is surrounded by a simple but sturdy fence.
The fence was built with branches of uniform thickness, which were intertwined and tied together to form a barrier of appropriate density, effectively preventing small wild animals from destroying crops.
Walking into the fence, in addition to millet and ginger, there are also some garlic cloves, small wild vegetables and the like. They are all tender green, and the leaves of those small wild vegetables are round, which shows that they are carefully cared for by the beastmen.
The orcs in charge of planting are working busily and orderly.
Several orcs were carefully weeding the millet. They held special small shovels in their hands. The shovels were carefully made by old craftsmen in the tribe, and the shovel heads were polished to a shine.
They squatted on the ground, their eyes fixed on the weeds around the millet, and carefully dug up the weeds with their roots. Every movement was very gentle, for fear of damaging the fragile roots of the millet.
"Hey, you better be careful. The grain is precious. If we damage it, all our hard work this season will be in vain."
An older orc said to his younger companion next to him.
"I know, Leah. The corn is growing so well, I wouldn't want to hurt it."
The young orc responded, his movements becoming more cautious.
There were also some orcs checking the growth of the ginger. They gently removed the soil around the ginger as if it were a rare treasure.
The soil was soft and moist, with a unique fragrance of earth.
They carefully checked the ginger pieces for pests and diseases, their eyes focused and serious, not missing any tiny details.
"Look at this piece of ginger, it's growing really strong. This year's harvest should be good."
An orc said to his companion with a smile.
"Yes, after the rainy season is over, these gingers will come in handy. The females will definitely like them."
Another orc responded.
Xia Yueke looked at all this curiously, her eyes full of novelty.
She ran to the orcs who were weeding, tilted her head and watched them weeding, blinked her big eyes to observe their movements, and kept asking Qian Jingyao all kinds of questions.
She wanted to know whether the orcs' planting methods were correct and whether there was anything that needed improvement.
Xia Yueke walked around the plantation again and again, the light in her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
She found that although the orcs here used traditional planting methods, every step was full of cherishment for these crops, and the results were quite good.
She walked to Qian Jingyao, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered:
"Yaoyao, I think they did a really good job. Although these methods are simple, they are very effective."
Qian Jingyao smiled and touched her head.
"Yes, the orcs in our tribe strictly follow the teachings of the Saint. We dare not deviate in any way, for fear that we will pass on the teachings to our tribe members incorrectly. However, you are very impressive for discovering these things."
Xia Yuke giggled. She was originally worried that if these orcs were not bred well, if he made any suggestions, no one would take her words seriously. After all, she was so young and still a cub.
Now it seems that she was overthinking it, as everyone has taken such good care of this place.
At this time, the elderly Leah came over, with a kind smile on his wrinkled face. He looked at Xia Yueke with an expectant glint in his eyes and said kindly:
"Little female, are you interested in joining the planting team? We promise you won't have to do any work. Just play here. It's very relaxing, much better than the gathering team!"
As Leah spoke, he gestured with his rough big hands, as if he had already seen Xia Yueke playing happily in the planting team.
