Chapter 164 Rice
Because we are in the wild, we have to be on guard against some strange animals.
Li Mingsheng and Yanli walked around their temporary resting place, checking to see if there was anything unusual around them.
Li Mingsheng simply set up a few magic circles around, and then sprinkled stinking grass powder on it.
For this trip, Wen Qing had his people prepare everything very comprehensively, taking every aspect into consideration.
Not only are food, clothing and daily necessities taken into consideration, but even items for outdoor defense are also available.
"I have to say, Wenqing is very considerate."
After Li Mingsheng finished, he and Yanli walked to the stream, washed their hands, and praised.
"Indeed, we may not have thought of this."
Yanli also admired Wenqing. Compared to himself, Wenqing was much better at handling the tribe's internal affairs.
Li Mingsheng pulled Yanli and squatted by the stream. Upstream, the people from the tribe and the orcs from the Dayuan tribe were dealing with the strange beasts they had hunted.
Li Mingsheng had no intention of disturbing them. He and Yanli simply planned to wash up and go back.
But at the moment he turned around, Li Mingsheng actually saw a familiar shadow on the other side of the stream.
"Ali, wait, I think I saw something special, come with me to have a look."
Li Mingsheng pulled Yanli without saying anything and ran across the stream.
Fortunately, the stream is not very wide, and with Li Mingsheng and Yanli's jumping ability, this width is no problem.
"Why are you so anxious?" After Yanli and Li Mingsheng jumped over, they patted each other on the shoulders and signaled Li Mingsheng to let go of the hand that was pinching his wrist.
Only then did Li Mingsheng notice the red mark on the other person's wrist. Feeling a little guilty, he took it back in his hand and rubbed it.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you, but if this thing is what I think it is, then it will definitely be a guarantee of survival for our tribe."
Li Mingsheng said flatteringly.
Seeing this, Yanli no longer worried about the minor pain.
"Why don't you go over and take a look?"
Yanli pulled his wrist out, raised his chin, and motioned Li Mingsheng to continue walking.
"okay!"
After saying that, Li Mingsheng did not stop and moved closer to the familiar green.
"Ali, it's real, it's real rice."
Li Mingsheng was so happy that he hugged Yanli's waist, picked her up by the waist, and started spinning around.
Yanli seemed to be able to understand Li Mingsheng's happiness, and he also curled the corners of his mouth.
After being excited for a while, Li Mingsheng finally let go of his disgust.
"This is the rice you mentioned. Which part should we eat?"
Yanli looked at the green grass on the ground with some curiosity, but didn't see anything special.
"It's not ripe yet. When it's ripe, we can just take this ear of rice."
Li Mingsheng pointed to a very shriveled ear of corn with some white flowers on it.
As he said this, he pinched a little more, put it in his mouth and started chewing.
"That's the taste, a little sweet."
As he said this, he pinched a little more and asked Yanli to try it too.
Yanli only felt a little sweetness in his mouth, and at the same time there was a taste like grass.
Not too tasty.
Li Mingsheng stroked the handful of rice ears in front of him. They looked bigger than those in his previous life, and the rice grains looked very big now. One could imagine what the scenery would be like when they matured.
The whole rice field is not too big, only about one or two mu in size, and the rice inside is uneven in quality.
There are clumps of them here and there, and there are also a lot of weeds in it.
At first glance, it is obvious that it is growing wildly with no one taking care of it.
Li Mingsheng roughly estimated that it would take more than two months for it to mature, which would be the hottest time of summer.
After collecting the rice as seeds, we can go back to the tribe and plant another crop, so that there will be enough seeds next year.
"In that case, we have to protect it well."
Yanli knew the importance of these small plants, and thought that he would not be able to take care of them after they left, so he left something behind to protect them.
"Ali is really thoughtful. I planned the same thing."
After completing the inspection, Li Mingsheng carefully set up a magic circle in this small field near the stream with slowly flowing water.
It is mainly to deal with emergencies, such as heavy rain and scorching sun, etc.
This magic circle is also used by the cultivation world to grow spiritual plants. Li Mingsheng did not feel it was a waste to use it here. On the contrary, he felt it was worth the money.
He rarely buried a spirit stone in the field as the center of the formation.
Upon seeing this, Yanli understood the importance of all this even more profoundly.
After all, they didn't take out spirit stones casually, as they are non-renewable.
Li Mingsheng would not use it easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Okay, with this formation, I think it will be foolproof."
Li Mingsheng looked at the results of his hard work and felt proud.
After all, if he had this rice in the future, he would be able to eat a lot of things, such as rice and noodles.
He also wanted to let Yanli have a taste. After all, he wanted to share everything with Yanli.
"Are you tired?" Yanli looked at Li Mingsheng's lips, which were a little paler than before, and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it just consumed a lot of spiritual energy. I'll go back tonight and replenish it. I'll be fine tomorrow."
As he said this, Li Mingsheng motioned to Yanli to come over and help him and take advantage of him at the same time.
Disgust is both helpless and funny.
"How can you be like a child?"
"So do you like it?"
Li Mingsheng leaned his head on Yanli's shoulder in a scoundrelly manner, half hugging Yanli's thin waist.
"Get up now, don't be afraid of being laughed at." Yanli let Li Mingsheng come and helped him all the way back to the outskirts of the team's temporary camp.
He patted Li Mingsheng's face and pushed his head away.
"Say you dare to laugh at me." Although Li Mingsheng spoke domineeringly, he still moved his head away from Yanli's shoulder and stood up.
But his hand was still holding Yanli's hand.
It’s up to him to be disgusted with this, as long as it’s not too excessive.
Fortunately, Li Mingsheng is not the kind of person who is particularly stubborn and he still respects Yanli's words.
"Chief, Lord Yanli, you are back." Qiu Bei was about to look for them. When they came back, the tribe had already grilled the meat and were almost done eating.
Not seeing his leader, Xiangcao ordered Qiu Bei to find him, and they happened to run into him here.
"The exotic beast meat has been roasted. Lord Xiangcao asked me to come find you."
Qiu Bei is no longer as cautious as before.
I have always been a heartless person, but after training with Li Mingsheng and the others for about a month, I have become much more comfortable with them.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Li Mingsheng looked at the orc walking beside him and felt that he was a talented person. After all, his personality and eloquence made him very suitable for a role in diplomatic negotiations.
Li Mingsheng looked at Qiu Bei with interest.
Qiu Bei felt a chill on his back, turned around and looked back, but there was nothing.
"what happened?"
Li Mingsheng asked with concern.
"It's okay. Maybe the wind is a little strong. Hahaha!"
Qiu Bei laughed awkwardly.
