Tonight, the person suffering from insomnia has changed.

Shen Nong is very concerned about reclaiming wasteland and cultivating the land.

After all, it was the first time for the orcs to farm, so he taught them extremely carefully, especially since he could not be in the tribe watching them all the time.

The orcs were reminded of the follow-up precautions every day, and they would recite the things the priests had told them in their dreams at night.

After observing for several days, Shen Nong selected two orcs who were the most careful in farming and who remembered everything he said very well as captains.

One team takes care of rapeseed and the other takes care of corn.

After the farming is completely completed, it is time for the caravan to go out to trade.

Before setting out, Shen Nong hurriedly made eight water bags and killed three pigs, three sheep and two cows.

The bladders of pigs, cattle and sheep were nitrated, and then the nitrated leg hides were used for protection. The edges were sewn with bone needles through rubbed hide thread, and the top was plugged with a wooden stopper.

There were a total of eighteen people in the caravan, including him and Ze Yi. In order to kill fewer pigs, cattle and sheep for breeding, the two of them shared a water bag.

But because Shen Nong was a bit of a germaphobe, sharing a water bag didn't work for him. He didn't want to kill an extra animal for breeding, so he could only spend 200 infrastructure points on the system to buy an oversized wine gourd for Ze and himself.

But there is no wine in it, adding wine is an additional price.

As the weather warmed up, animals in the mountains began to become active. Dahei could go hunting in the mountains to fill his stomach, and he didn't need Shen Nong to feed him. Everything was ready, just waiting to set off.

On the day of departure, Hu Xiao led the hunting team to see Shen Nong and others off at the city gate. He asked Shen Nong unwillingly if it was possible for him to go with them.

After saying this, he glanced at Ze. His tiger eyes clearly showed that if Ze could protect the priest, he would also follow him to protect the priest.

Shen Nong glanced at the other person and said nothing.

The orcs' keen intuition made Hu Xiao lower his head and said in a muffled voice, "Priest, rest assured. I will lead the hunting team to protect the tribe well."

"Well, do a good job." After Shen Nong finished speaking, he looked at the collection team that was about to go out.

According to his inference, the food near the Mu tribe includes soybeans and corn, and the seasonings include garlic and pepper.

In winter, everything outside is covered with snow and you can’t find anything even if you try.

Now everything is revived, but Shen Nong has no time to go out and look for it. Fortunately, Tu Dong has a strong memory and has been following him to learn how to identify herbs. She can also see the differences in the smallest details.

It was Tudong who found Ai Cao before, so Shen Nong could rest assured to leave this matter to her.

However, the level of the Rabbit Winter Orcs was not high. She didn't know where these crops were. If they were in the sphere of influence of other tribes, she would definitely encounter danger if she led the collection team to explore.

Orcs have a strong sense of territory.

"I have drawn the crops you are looking for at different growth stages." Shen Nong reminded him worriedly, "If you can't find them within our tribe or in the No Man's Land, you can only look for them in other tribes. Other members of the gathering team should not go at this time. Let Hu Xiao, Mao Yun, and Tu Feng go with you. Keep everything simple and be careful."

Rabbit Winter nodded, "Got it, Priest."

Hu Xiao also patted his chest and promised that he would protect Tu Dong.

..

The dense forest is difficult to walk through and the mountain roads are dangerous.

In order to preserve the goods as much as possible, Shen Nong packed the pottery jars in large, tightly woven backpacks.

The bottom of the backpack was covered with animal skins, and then five sets of fish-skin clothes were placed on top, with another layer of animal skins on top.

The pottery jars are placed last, with a layer of animal skin stuffed between each layer. This can prevent bumps and also allow animal skins and fish skin clothes to be carried.

The big backpack is made of branches from the giant trees that have not yet grown up. The branches of the giant trees that have not yet grown up are soft, very tough and have a strong load-bearing capacity.

According to the minimum height of an orc, which is 1.7 meters, a backpack half as tall as a person can hold about 23 pottery pots. The pottery pots are relatively large, and a backpack can hold about 15 of them. The pottery bowls are the smallest, but orcs have big appetites. Therefore, the pottery bowls are super large bowls with a depth of 10 centimeters and a diameter of about 30 centimeters. A backpack can hold 70 to 80 of these large pottery bowls.

In order not to waste the huge bearing capacity of the branches of the giant trees, and also not to make the arduous journey, I only brought these few things.

So Shen Nong used magic to shrink the items, and finally determined that the amount he had to bring was twice as much as before.

Although the weight has doubled, it is nothing for an orc warrior.

In fact, you can double the amount, but each person's large backpack has to carry the meat and cooking utensils to be eaten along the way. If you add pottery, there will be no place to put all the food.

There are many plants in the forest, half of which Shen Nong can name and half of which he cannot name. He kept his eyes on the plants along the way and didn't look at the road at all.

After tripping several times, I forced myself to concentrate on walking and not be distracted by the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside.

But after taking a few steps out, his mind flew to the wild flowers and weeds that only confused his mind.

If he wasn't in a hurry to travel, Shen Nong would like to take a clean wooden board and charcoal sticks and study the plants here that he couldn't name.

Just when Shen Nong tripped over the dead branches under his feet for the seventh time, Ze took Shen Nong's hand.

Shen Nong frowned slightly. He was not used to physical contact and subconsciously wanted to shake it off.

But the feeling of that hand was familiar to Shen Nong. Shen Nong ignored his conditioned reflex and did not shake it off.

Ze didn't dare to use force, but just held it loosely, but he could still feel the softness and delicacy under his palm. This touch made his heart beat up and down, even if he fought with Dahei for hundreds of rounds, it had never beat so fast.

Seeing that the priest did not avoid him but looked at him in confusion, he curled his other fingertips slightly, concealing his nervousness, and said in a deep voice: "Hold the priest's hand and you won't trip again."

Shen Nong stared at the two people holding hands for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that he could not control himself from looking at the surrounding plants, so he responded, "Yeah."

With Ze leading the way, Shen Nong put all his heart into the plants. Not allowing himself to run over to touch the plants showed Shen Nong's great self-control.

He always paid attention to his feet and took away all the dead branches and stones for Shen Nong in advance. If he couldn't kick them, he would lead others to avoid them.

The journey was smooth and Shen Nong didn't trip again.

Huh?

Shen Nong's attention was attracted by a clump of grass not far away. Judging from its slender appearance, it was a clump of grass.

Dragon's beard grass?

Shen Nong pulled his hand out and walked towards the grass. Ze hurriedly followed him, and Bao Qiu also stopped the team when he saw this.

According to ancient books, dragon beard grass can be used as the raw material for artificial cotton, artificial silk, and high-end paper.

These processes are complicated, and Shen Nong does not intend to spend time and effort on them. If he really wants to, he might as well grow cotton and raise silkworms.

As for paper, the herbaceous fiber content of dragon beard grass is high, and it can be used as a raw material for papermaking instead of trees.

However, the reason why Shen Nong couldn't help but come to explore whether it was dragon's beard grass was not because dragon's beard grass could be used as the raw material for making these, but because dragon's beard grass is also known as sedge grass.

The straw raincoat made of straw was an early rainproof gear on ancient Earth.

In addition to straw, palm tree bark can also be used to make it, also known as palm clothing.

However, there were no palm trees or straw raincoats around the Mu tribe, and straw raincoats made from other grasses have little ability to keep out rain, so Shen Nong did not make rain gear.

Anyway, the spring rain in the Beast World is small, so if you are in the forest, you can find some larger leaves to block the rain.

It rains heavily in summer, so just go back to the tribe before summer.

Unexpectedly, he discovered dragon beard grass here.

The reason why this grass is called dragon's beard grass is that it looks like dragon's beard and can be one meter long when it grows.

The harvest time is around September, and if you want to make it into a straw raincoat, you have to dry it.

Although he couldn't weave a straw raincoat now, since he had discovered it, he couldn't let it go easily.

After Shen Nong confirmed that this grass was dragon beard grass, he turned and left, calling on the system to store all of it in the warehouse.

When he returns to the tribe, he will transplant it to a sunny hillside closer to the tribe.

Seeing people coming back, Bao Qiu and others continued to move forward.

Shen Nong took the initiative to extend his arm to Ze this time, but only asked Ze to hold his wrist. Maybe it was because of the large contact area of ​​his palm, but whenever he was not concentrating on looking at the plants, he would always feel a strange feeling in his heart.

It's hard to explain.

After walking for a while, it was getting dark.

Shen Nong looked at the map on the light screen, which was marked with many red dots and a moving green dot.

This is the map he bought from the system at the cost of 5,000 infrastructure points. The red dots represent other tribes, and the green dots represent them.

There are tribal names under the red dots. The closest tribe to them is the Yu tribe, but it also has to cross the mountains and forests.

We set out from the tribe around noon. Everyone was full and didn't waste time making a fire or cooking on the road.

After walking for most of the day, according to the map, we had only walked one tenth of the distance.

According to the speed, it will take about five days to reach the Yu tribe, which is acceptable.

"Rest where you are."

At Shen Nong's command, everyone put down their backpacks.

Baoqiu took Langyu to look for a water source nearby. Although the caravan had water bags, the water in the bags was limited.

The journey is still long, and in order to ensure that we have enough water, we have to go out and look for a water source when we stop to rest.

If there is any, cook the food and replenish the water in the water bag.

If you don't have any, grill them. Drink the water in the water bag carefully.

The others dispersed to collect branches for making fire. When they had collected enough, they took out tinder and started to make a fire.

He found a tree, cleared the weeds around it, smashed a large rock with one hand, and took out the sharp-edged fragments.

He used gravel to cut the grass, but he didn't walk far, keeping Shen Nong within his sight.

The cut grass was tied into bundles and spread on the ground, and then soft animal skins were laid on this simple "grass bed".

He pressed it with his hands to test its softness. The priest liked to sleep on something softer, but it was not soft enough, so he went to get another piece of animal skin to cover it.

Shen Nong leaned against the tree trunk diagonally opposite, boneless. He stared at the place where Ze had made the bed for him, and the other party was serious and focused.

Shen Nong looked at Ze's handsome profile, with its perfect curved contours. The strange feeling that had appeared in his heart when Ze's slender and powerful hand wrapped around his palm suddenly resurfaced.

The uncontrollable and unknown emotions made Shen Nong a little irritated.

He made a "tsk" sound, looked away and stopped looking at Ze.

Baoqiu and Langyu were lucky and found a water source not far away, which was a small stream.

Everyone in the caravan quickly poured the water from the water bags into the clay pots and started cooking food.

Shen Nong was about to take action, but was snatched away by Ze.

He opened his gourd and used the boiled water inside to clean the ceramic pot for Shen Nong. After the meat was cooked, he cleaned the ceramic bowl and wooden chopsticks before picking out the meat from the pot.

When picking out the meat and putting it in the bowl, Ze took out a small bamboo tube from his backpack.

When the bamboo tube lid was opened, a piece of dry white fish skin was still inside. There were a few tiny holes in the fish skin. When I tapped the bamboo tube with my fingertips, tiny red powder flew out.

After putting the meat in, Ze took his gourd again and said, "Priest, wash your hands."

Shen Nong stretched out his hand and slowly poured out the water from the gourd, but Shen Nong did not move, unlike before when he would cross his hands and rub them together.

After washing his hands with water, he rubbed Shen Nong's fingertips gently and slowly until they were clean.

He looked up at Shen Nong, thinking that it was time to eat meat.

The priest's beautiful eyes were staring at him, and he couldn't read the emotion in them. He only knew that the priest's focused gaze made him very happy.

The priest was looking at me, always looking at me.

Shen Nong didn't move before because he was distracted for a moment. Whether it was making the bed or cooking food, he couldn't find any fault in every step.

Wash the chopsticks again.

He loves spicy food but can't eat it. There is only a very shallow layer of meat and he can only taste a little bit of flavor, but it is just the right level of spiciness for him to accept.

She was only slightly distracted for a moment, and then she washed her hands again before washing them for him, carefully.

Shen Nong had no urge to shake off this kind of touch.

Shen Nong was a little confused. He stared at Ze, trying to find the answer from him.

But he didn't find it. He just saw a good-looking appearance and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Could it be that he had become desensitized during his time in the beast world? Or had he developed a mysophobia?

Shen Nong couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to think about it. He was a little hungry, so he picked up the bowl and started eating meat.

She was considerate and attentive in every way, and he was completely unable to get involved.

After the whole meal, he just had to use a little effort to raise his hands and put the meat into his mouth to chew.

After eating the meat, the caravan members took their clay pots to the stream to wash them again.

These are all habits I developed after joining the Mu tribe, and I wash the pots and bowls promptly after eating.

After washing, you can fetch some clean water from upstream, boil it, let it cool down, and then put it into the water bag.

Drinking boiled water is a habit developed in the Mu tribe.

Ze took Shen Nong with him. Shen Nong had nothing to do, so he lay on the straw bed that Ze had laid, staring at the tree in a daze.

He felt that he was going to be ruined by selective adoption.

It was a little chilly at night. Shen Nong was covered with animal skins, and his watery eyes looked up at the night sky.

Layers of tree trunks and branches blocked the moon, but because of the night wind blowing from high in the sky, people living under the trees could occasionally catch a glimpse of the bright moon hanging in the sky and the stars in the sky.

Shen Nong couldn't sleep again.

Ze did not transform into a beast form outside, but just leaned beside Shen Nong, just right next to Shen Nong's "straw bed".

The occasional breeze made Shen Nong feel uncomfortable. He looked at Ze with his eyes closed, moved quietly, and shrank beside Ze.

The wind was blocked by Ze and did not blow to Shen Nong anymore.

Ze noticed the rustling noises of the people around him and realized that the priest might be hiding from the wind. Ze calmly turned sideways and protected the person behind him.

Shen Cong leaned beside Ze, closed his eyes and thought that he would not be able to sleep until dawn again.

Who knew, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. His nose was filled with a familiar smell, and after counting more than 500 sheep, he fell asleep completely.

After falling asleep, Shen Nong moved his head and then slowly pressed his face against Ze's hanging arm.

He stretched out his hand and placed it accurately on Ze's waist, and he slept very comfortably.

Ze suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body tensed up, and he dared not move.

Tonight, the person suffering from insomnia has changed.
