Zhan nodded without hesitation, "I'll be wherever you are." He rubbed Mu Xingchen's hair with a distressed look on his face, obviously thinking of his pitiful and difficult experience of surviving as an orc. "But when the rainy season ends, the tribe will follow the animals. We have to live with the tribe to survive."

So it is not a matter of whether they choose to stay or not, but if they want to survive, they must move with the tribe. It is difficult to find prey in winter, and it is difficult for orcs without a tribe to survive the long winter.

In fact, Mu Xingchen felt that as long as he didn't get pregnant, he would not die even if he didn't live with the tribe. But he knew that Zhan had lived with the tribe until he was a child, and it was unrealistic to ask him to leave the tribe suddenly, so he didn't mention it.

"So while the rainy season is still here, we need to prepare more food to survive the winter and try to convince other orcs in the tribe to stay."

Zhan obviously didn't expect that there was an option to let all the orcs in the tribe stay. He was stunned for a while before saying, "But it's hard to find enough food for the tribe to survive the winter."

"We can grow our own." Mu Xingchen took Zhan's arm away from his waist, stood up and walked to the stone pot, stirring the rice that had begun to soften with chopsticks. "This rice has a short growth cycle, and the grains are large and plentiful. It can be preserved for a long time. As long as we grow more, there will be enough for everyone to eat."

The most important thing is that after the previous system scan, the conclusion was that this thing, which tastes similar to rice, can be grown all year round and has very strong vitality. There is no need to worry about it being frozen even in heavy snow.

As long as they can find enough rice to transplant and plant, they will not be short of food in winter. After all, rice is much more filling than raw meat.

Zhan was still worried, "That's what the birds eat."

Mu Xingchen stirred the rice in the pot vigorously to make sure that not much of it had stuck to the bottom of the pot. Then he walked to Zhan again and nestled in his arms, asking, "If you really can't catch prey in winter, but you know that you can fill your stomach with food that birds have eaten, will you eat it?"

Zhan nodded without hesitation.

Mu Xingchen laughed out loud, "That's right! When there are no prey in winter, they will naturally eat it. Besides, rice is really delicious after being cooked! It's easy to get full. Besides, even if it's not enough, we still have sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can also be planted, but they grow more slowly."

"If we plant sweet potatoes now, we will be able to harvest a batch in winter."

Hearing that sweet food could be grown, Zhan couldn't help but lick his lips and became interested in what Mu Xingchen said about growing sweet potatoes. "Then let's go dig up all those sweet potatoes tomorrow!"

Seeing Zhan was convinced, Mu Xingchen smiled and nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he still expressed his long-held idea, "Ask if there are any orcs who want to move to live near us tomorrow. If so, we can help them build a shed."

This idea actually came to him when he had the thought of staying. Although he also wanted to continue living here with Zhan in their own world, if he let the orcs live nearby, cooked delicious food in front of them every day, used tools, and did not touch the water on the ground, the orcs would gradually follow suit.

The orcs are not so stubborn that they have to live according to long-standing habits. Their thoughts are just limited to this era. As long as they understand, they will have strong mobility and hands-on ability.
