I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 156 Seeder

Making a charcoal pencil is relatively simple. Cut wood into strips about half the thickness of a finger and the length of a palm, first burn them in a fire to make charcoal, then roll the charcoal up with paper, and the simplest charcoal pencil is done.

With paper and pen in hand, Bai Ling was so excited she almost cried.

After living in this world for so many years, he was finally able to write again.

Bai Ling used scissors to cut the tough paper into suitable rectangles, and then used a needle to sew the papers together to make a simple notebook.

He plans to use this notebook as a diary, where he will write down anything he wants to record in the future.

Just as the sun was setting, Bai Ling sat in her house, spreading out the notebook she had just finished on her lap. Holding a charcoal pencil, she carefully wrote her name, Bai Ling, on the cover of the notebook.

The two characters were written neatly, neither particularly handsome nor elegant, yet Bai Ling's eyes almost welled up with tears.

Bai Ling opened the notebook to the first page and began writing her diary entry with a charcoal pencil.

He used English.

Bai Ling will definitely teach Chinese characters to other orcs in the tribe in the future, and Chinese characters may even spread throughout the entire orc world. If he writes a diary in Chinese characters and it is discovered in the future, people will definitely know what he wrote in it.

Writing in English eliminates this problem. In his previous life, Bai Ling passed the CET-6 (College English Test Band 6) in college, so writing a diary in English was not difficult for him at all.

What should he write on the first page? After writing down the weather, Bai Ling couldn't continue. He had so much to say, so many things to write down, but he sat in the room until it was almost dark, and Bai Ling didn't pick up his pen again.

He didn't know where to begin writing; his mind was a jumbled mess, and he simply couldn't put pen to paper.

Bai Ling just sat there blankly. He really wanted to confide in someone, but Yue, the only person who could listen to him, wasn't there. He had no one to tell him his troubles.

A voice called out from afar; it was his father coming to find him.

Because he's been busy these past few days, Bai Ling doesn't eat lunch or dinner with his clansmen except for breakfast. His clansmen bring him food at noon, and he eats dinner whenever he's finished with his work.

Animal oil is precious, so the tribe eats before dawn. After Feng finished eating, he found that his son had not returned. He didn't think much of it at first, assuming that his son was busy somewhere. But when the tribespeople who made paper, fired bricks and tiles, and built houses had all finished eating and his son still hadn't returned, Feng started to get a little anxious.

He didn't disturb his clansmen, but instead went to his own house to look for his son.

Because Bai Ling likes to stay at his own home when he has nothing to do, Feng didn't know where his son was, so he came here to check on him first.

When Bai Ling heard his father call him, he answered and put down his notebook and charcoal pencils before coming out of the house: "Father, what brings you here?"

Feng said, "The tribespeople have all finished eating, but you haven't returned yet. I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

Bai Ling knew that his father was worried about him. His father's words warmed his heart, and all the depressed emotions were blown away by the wind.

His memories of his past life are real, his life on Earth is real, everything he experienced is real, and his family in this life is also real, as are their care and love for him.

In this world, he has a family who cares for and loves him, and a lover with whom he wants to spend his whole life. He shouldn't dwell on the emotions of his past life.

“Well, I came to check on the livestock and got so busy that I lost track of time,” Bai Ling said. “Father, let’s go back. I’m really hungry.”

After making the paper, Bai Ling produced a lot of paper at once. In addition to his own use, some of the paper was also distributed to the tribe members. Several tribe members were quite interested in papermaking, but because the tribe was short-handed at the moment, they could not spare anyone to make paper. Next year, when there was less work in the tribe, they would be able to spare a few tribe members to set up a papermaking workshop.

Bai Ling spent a few more days building the seed drill.

He first had two tribesmen pull the seed drill and test it out in an open space. The results were quite good; it was suitable for sowing seeds.

Around noon, the clansmen who had gone to work in the fields returned. They knew that Bai Ling had made a seed drill, and they didn't even eat, but gathered around to watch the excitement.

Having already witnessed how convenient the seed drill was, the orcs found a place and demonstrated it to their other tribesmen.

The seed drill is very easy to use. Two people pull it from the front, and one person holds it from the back. The seeds are placed in the seed hopper, and as the seed drill moves forward slowly, the seeds in the hopper will fall down by themselves.

After witnessing how convenient the seed drill was, the tribespeople were overjoyed. With the seed drill, it would be much easier for them to sow seeds next year.

Bai Ling also mentioned her idea of ​​taming the Kengchi beast. Chief Zhan asked, "Ling, do you mean we'll use the Kengchi beast to pull the seed drill and sow seeds in the future?"

Bai Ling said, "Well, not only seed drills, but also plows and harrows can be pulled by the Kengchi beast. Large beastmen like us can pull plows, but small beastmen can't. In the future, we'll need livestock to pull millstones, rollers, and so on. The Kengchi beast is the perfect size and has good stamina. I want to try taming it so that it can help us with many things."

Chief Zhan and the clansmen all understood Bai Ling's meaning: to have the Kengchi Beast help them with their work.

This was something that would have been unthinkable before, because orcs mainly relied on hunting and gathering for a living. Wild animals couldn't help them at all; on the contrary, they were the ones they had to hunt. Now that they were farming, wild animals had found other uses.

Just like Ling said, we need to tame wild beasts into livestock.

This is a great idea, and the tribespeople support it.

The tribe has also started to tame wild animals, but they mainly raise sheep, horned beasts, and kichi beasts. The meat of the kachi beast is not tasty, so after catching it, it is either eaten directly or made into jerky.

Now that Bai Ling says he wants to catch a Kengchi beast to raise, the tribespeople don't object. Zhan has already decided that next time they go hunting, they will arrange to catch a live Kengchi beast to raise.

The seed drill was completed, so Bai Ling didn't need to worry about the rest. The seed drill was made by Bai Ling and the orcs in the carpentry group. Even if Bai Ling didn't go to the carpentry group for the time being, the orcs in the carpentry group could continue to make seed drills.

The paper was made, and the seed drill was made. Bai Ling thought carefully about what to do next.

The bow and arrows need to be made, the spinning wheel needs to be made, and the furniture needs to be made. These three things are currently in high demand. After careful consideration, Bai Ling decided to make the bow and arrows first.

With bows and arrows, the hunting party's safety outside would be greatly improved.
