Alright.
Even after going through all kinds of hardships and all kinds of unacceptable realities, the farmers' understanding of agriculture still made Li Ke facepalm.
Because even though those unacceptable things had impacted his beliefs, but when he thought about it carefully, they were all 'reasonable' and could be explained.
But the farmers didn't know how to farm, and they didn't even understand the importance of watering and fertilizing. If that was the case, then it was really abnormal.
Unless someone purposely destroyed their civilization and wanted them to continue being ignorant.
"Alright, let's change the question."
Li Ke resisted the urge to sigh and unconsciously shook his arm. His face was still filled with helplessness.
"What do you do when you're not farming?"
This was also a very important question. After all, what did the normal Freldrod people do? It was also a way for him to understand this place.
"Our tribe used to spend most of our time hunting, so after planting the seeds and watering, we would go back to prepare for hunting and fishing."
A man with a red tattoo on his face answered Li Ke, and a slightly skinny man beside him stuttered after he finished speaking.
"The weak ones like us would make leather goods, herding, chopping firewood, fishing, and picking fruits … After all, we can't be warriors, and hunting is indeed a little … a little dangerous for us."
He looked a little embarrassed and even guilty. But this was normal because being able to fight was the only standard of Freldrod. So he felt that being unable to fight was a disgrace to him, and he was incomparably lowly in this land. And in his words, there was some fear and desire for battle.
But Li Ke empathized with his fear. He looked at the scar on his calf and the ugly scar on his arm, and recalled those ferocious snowfield beasts that he didn't want to face.
"Yes. I know, Freldrod's beasts left a deep impression on me. "
He nodded, and his hand moved unnaturally. After all, even though he was no longer afraid of those beasts, but the experience of being eaten by two beasts when he was weak still left a deep impression on him.
At that time, he was still afraid of battle, and even in his despair, he thought that he would have a system or something to send him home. But the result?
The result was that he was forced to adapt to fear and death in the midst of his ugly cries and begging for mercy.
It was a really uncomfortable feeling.
"So you didn't pay too much attention to the crops. You only went to water the fields when you felt that it was a little dry, and when there was a snowstorm, you thought of ways to harvest it. Other times, you didn't care about them because you had to seize the time to get more food, am I right? "
Recalling the warrior of the past, the smile on his face disappeared without him noticing. Although he didn't want to show his emotions, a kind of silence and a feeling of fear still affected the people around him. The air suddenly became quiet, and only the crackling sound of the firewood was left.
So after he said this conclusion, the farmers in front of him didn't dare to speak because of the change in the atmosphere. They only dared to carefully nod their heads, which made Li Ke feel that he was abnormal.
"Sorry, I remembered something from the past."
Li Ke rubbed his face, and a somewhat awkward smile reappeared. He put a piece of firewood in the fire and continued.
"And if I'm not wrong, because of the frequent battles between your clans, your farmlands are often damaged. That's why you go out to hunt and fish when you're farming. Am I right?"
According to his experience, Li Ke even felt that Freldrod's degree of war was comparable to Lac's, which was why he had such a question.
But this time, it was a farmer with burns on his face who answered Li Ke. He also pointed at the farmer with a red tattoo on his face. His tone was filled with unwillingness and regret.
There was also some hatred.
"Yes, Sir. Last year, our crops were burned by their tribe, so we had no choice but to rely on the Bloodstain tribe. But because we relied on the Bloodstain tribe, we had all our food taken away by the Bloodstain tribe. So if we only rely on the farmland, we will only starve to death. "
When he said this, he couldn't help but wipe his tears. His daughter, who was only as tall as his waist, also hugged her father in fear.
His words seemed to have produced a chemical reaction, and the farmers present all sighed. Because this guy wasn't a coincidence. From their narration, Li Ke learned that most of the farmers present had the same experience. That was, their crops that needed time to mature were ruthlessly burned by the enemy, causing their efforts to be in vain.
This was also the reason why they didn't put much effort into farming. That was because this kind of village and tribe structure simply couldn't guarantee the stability and safety of their farms.
Moreover, this place wasn't suitable for farming. Without a suitable method, and after hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation, their harvests wouldn't be much higher than robbing and hunting.
If this continued, it would be a miracle if their agriculture could develop.
"Alright, I roughly understand."
Li Ke finally understood Freldrod's problem. That was, they didn't have a stable government. There was no way to stop the cycle of hatred between the tribes, and there was no way to give the people at the bottom a stable environment where they didn't have to fear being killed or their property being plundered.
"It will get better in the future. If the person I brought you to is really like what the rumors said, then you won't have to worry about your crops being burned by the enemy."
He could only use this method to comfort them. After all, the environment wasn't something that could be solved by one person.
"Are you talking about Aichy? I've seen her before … But she's just a special Ice People. She can't be compared to you at all, so why don't you … "
The man with the tattoo on his head opened his mouth. His face was full of confusion.
"Because I'm not Freldrod's people. There are some things that you can only do by yourself."
Li Ke interrupted him, then clapped his hands and brought the topic back on track.
"So in order to make your life easier when the time comes, we need to know better how to grow various edible plants. After all, people can't only eat meat."
He paused for a moment.
"I need your knowledge."
