The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 286 Digging a Cigarette Pit

"Good knife!"

Mo Lin appeared behind her unnoticed, a glint of light flashing in his dark eyes. "More than ten times sharper than a bone knife."

Chixiao playfully climbed onto his wrist and saw the gleaming kitchen knife in his father's hand, wanting to try it out with its tail.

"Nonsense."

Mo Lin swiftly grabbed Chi Xiao's vital spot, and the little snake cub flicked its tongue in grievance.

Su Xiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, lightly tapping the snake's head with her fingertip: "Silly boy, this knife is very sharp, it can cut your tail until it bleeds."

Xuanming grabbed a large iron shovel, weighed it in his hand, and said, "This thing is good for digging. There was only one Little Moon gave me before, so I don't have to fight over it anymore."

Bai Qi's gaze fell on the twenty hoes, the iron tools gleaming with a cold, bluish light in the sunlight.

This hoe has a unique design. The top of the three-foot-long hardwood handle is tenoned to a crescent-shaped iron plate, the edges of which are polished into thin blades.

There is a small round hole at the joint on the back, which is fixed with a long iron nail.

He suddenly chuckled: "Moon, what's this thing called?"

"This is called a hoe."

Su Xiyue casually picked up a hoe and demonstrated the digging motion in the open space. "Turning the soil is faster and more convenient than using a bone shovel. It can also be used to remove weeds. We can use this hoe when we start clearing land in a while."

The iron blade struck the ground with a dull thud, and the clods of earth that were turned up split neatly.

Ye Ling keenly understood the meaning behind her words and asked in confusion, "Reclaiming wasteland?"

In the Beast World, food is entirely obtained through hunting, and the concept of "exploration" is completely foreign to them.

So there were some parts I didn't quite understand.

"It's about cultivating wasteland to grow crops. If you rely solely on hunting, you'll always go hungry in the cold winter."

She slammed the hoe into the ground, wiped the sweat from her brow, and continued to explain, "The rice seeds we've saved can be planted next spring. Once the houses are completely finished, you can lead the tribe's orcs to clear the land. Although the harvest season is over and it's not suitable for planting now, we can still let the land rest first, so the harvest will be even better next year."

"Then how should this land be maintained?"

Qingzhu had never heard of soil cultivation before, so she couldn't help but frown and ask.

This question drew Su Xiyue's attention to him. She bent down, grabbed a handful of soil, and rubbed it. As the clods fell, they brought with them a few blades of grass. "Look," she said, "this soil is too compacted. We need to loosen it with a hoe, spread some decaying leaves, burn some wood ash, and bury it in the soil. We also need to bury manure and excrement to ferment. Only then can the land become fertile."

As she spoke, she suddenly pointed to several cubs urinating in the distance: "From now on, all the tribe's excrement must be collected and composted together with human and animal waste."

Feng Su dropped the feather fan in her hand with a "thud," her shocked expression filled with deep disgust: "Using excrement and urine to water the ground?"

If he understands correctly, that soil is for growing crops, right? If you water it with excrement and urine, would it still be edible?

The thought of eating food that has been irrigated with excrement and urine makes my stomach churn and I feel like vomiting.

"Otherwise, what do you think crops eat?"

Su Xiyue rolled her eyes at Feng Su, completely ignoring his constipated expression. "Starting tomorrow, you'll be in charge of digging ten latrines in the tribe."

Feng Su's peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief. "Little Yue'er, are you serious? You want me to dig... dig a latrine?"

Bai Qi was overjoyed at this moment, his ten fox tails swaying happily. He added at the right time, "Manure is a top-quality fertilizer that can make the land more fertile and the crops will grow better next year. You can't let everyone down with such an important task.

Feng Su rolled her eyes gracefully, too lazy to pay him any attention at the moment.

A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes looked pitifully at Su Xiyue, and didn't forget to throw her a flirtatious wink: "Little Yue'er, are you serious?"

Ignoring his flirtatious glances, Su Xiyue picked up the fallen feather fan, slapped it into his hand, and said expressionlessly, "The latrine needs to be dug two meters deep, and the inner walls should be lined with stone slabs—"

The seductive phoenix is ​​opportunistic. Don't think that you can slack off by acting cute, being charming, or saying sweet words.

Look at Mo Lin, he's a man of few words but hardworking. He does the work automatically without her having to say a word. He's not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or dirt. And he's also very handsome. He's practically the epitome of a good husband.

"I do not!"

Feng Su suddenly pounced on her and hugged her arm, "Little Yue'er~ I'll do anything you ask, even picking flowers and making tea, this job is too dirty!"

It wasn't just disgusting; the thought of the cesspool was unbearable.

Before I even started digging, I already felt like I was stinking.

His wails echoed throughout the entire smelting area, prompting Mu Han, who was forging iron, to look up.

Su Xiyue remained unmoved and turned to Bai Qi: "You go with him."

Bai Qi's smile froze instantly: "Yue'er, I have to go again tomorrow."

"Go dig a latrine."

Qingzhu interrupted him coldly, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her emerald eyes, "Perfect for curing your laziness, you sly fox." Xuanming laughed so hard he could barely breathe, "Hahaha, you've finally met your match! Little Moon is amazing, this is how you should discipline them."

These two are incredibly lazy and incredibly flirtatious, but they're also incredibly sweet-talking and know exactly how to make Little Moon happy. Just looking at them makes you want to give them a good beating.

Ye Ling's silver eyes flickered slightly, and a rare smile curved her lips: "Remember to dig deep."

Mo Lin silently handed over two newly forged hoes, saying expressionlessly, "Use these, quick."

Feng Su and Bai Qi exchanged a glance, their faces falling simultaneously, their expressions one of utter despair.

"Little Moon~"

Feng Su tried to struggle, but Su Xiyue shut her up with one sentence: "If you keep nagging, I'll make you pick up manure and fertilize it."

Feng Su wilted, her beautiful peach blossom eyes dimming slightly, and she glanced at Su Xiyue with a mournful look: "Little Yue'er, how cruel you are~"

Bai Qi's ten tails drooped listlessly, then he suddenly smiled and said, "Yue'er, I remember you said you wanted to weave cloth? Here's some hemp I brought."

"Not urgent."

Su Xiyue interrupted him, "Let's talk about it after the latrine is dug."

Watching the two leave dejectedly, Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, and Xuan Ming felt incredibly satisfied.

These two lazybones deserve to be dealt with like this.

Su Xiyue shook her head helplessly before turning her gaze to Xuan Ming: "When you have time, take a few beastmen and catch some wild sheep, wild cattle, and wild boars. Wild sheep can produce milk, and wild cattle can plow the fields. Raise the wild boars in enclosures, fatten them up, and then slaughter them for meat. That way, everyone will have meat to eat without having to go out hunting. Wild rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity, so you can also catch some to raise."

Remembering something, she added, "Let's catch some pheasants and wild ducks too, so they can lay eggs."

Ye Ling seemed to understand but not quite, and frowned. "What is a pheasant?"

Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, and Xuan Ming all looked at her blankly, clearly not understanding either.

There is no such term as "wild chicken" in the Beast World.

Seeing the men looking at her blankly, she patted her head and explained, "A pheasant is a 'gugu chicken.' Be careful when you catch it. Remember to tie its wings with vines, otherwise it may fly away."

The men suddenly realized that "wild chicken" was probably the name used in Yue'er's world.

However, in the Beast World, they're called Gugu Chicken.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Xuanming patted his chest, saying that hunting was his specialty and that catching a few wild cattle and sheep was nothing.
This was a piece of cake for him.

Seeing his carefree attitude, Su Xiyue couldn't help but remind him, "Remember to keep them alive, don't hurt them, otherwise they'll be hard to raise."

Hunting is a piece of cake for these orcs, but capturing them alive without injuring them is not so easy.

Xuanming scratched his head. With that wild bull's fiery temper, capturing it alive would really take some effort.

He suddenly remembered that Mu Han was a divine beast, a white tiger. With a single tug of its might, wild cattle and sheep would tremble in fear. He wouldn't even need to catch them; he would be scared out of his wits.

With that thought in mind, he turned and shouted to the smelting area, "Mu Han, don't forge iron tomorrow, come with me to catch wild buffalo and wild sheep."

Ever since Mu Han appeared, I've felt like I've found a little brother.

She likes to drag him along with everything she does.

Actually, Ye Ling, Mo Lin, and Qing Zhu are all viable options. One can evolve into the Ancient Silver Moon Wolf, another into the Teng Snake, and the third into the Moon Chasing Wolf.

However, those three guys were really annoying, always bullying him. It was much more comfortable being with Mu Han.

Not only are they strong, but they are also obedient, and most importantly, they are loyal.

Mu Han slammed the iron hammer heavily onto the red-hot iron block, sparks flying everywhere.

Hearing Xuanming's shout, he raised his head, sweat trickling down his strong jawline. "Don't drag me into catching those beasts, I'm busy."

He only obeyed Xi Yue's orders; as for the others, they were told to go cool off somewhere else.

Xuanming darted to the smelting area and grabbed Mu Han's arm: "Don't be stingy! If you unleash your tiger-like might, even the wild bulls will obediently lie down, saving us the trouble!"

He then winked at Su Xiyue, "Little Moon, don't you think? If Mu Han goes to catch him, it will definitely be twice as effective!"

Seeing Xuan Ming's winking and gesturing, Su Xiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, Mu Han will go with you tomorrow. But—"

She turned to look at Mu Han, "Finish hammering this batch of nails first."

Mu Han paused in his hand holding the hammer, and replied in a muffled voice, "Okay."
