Chapter 101

In the back mountain, they began to dig a hole to make a residence for the five tiger men. As a result, Teng Zhuo, Amu, Feng, and Dashi from the tribe also came to help - all on a voluntary basis.

Only Ah Hui was eating dried fruits silly and playing with the cubs in the tribe.

Zhuo Yan: ...There is a reason why Ah Hui is single.

Before the hole was dug, the five of them had to make do with bunks on the floor in the textile house for a few days. It hasn't been very cold recently.

"Clan leader, our clan leader said that in the Leopard Man Clan, we listen to you. We will do whatever the Leopard Men do, so feel free to order us around." Aunt Carol said happily.

Zhuo Yan was not polite either. If he was too polite, he would be unfamiliar.

"It's not yet time to harvest, so it will be relatively leisurely. I'll dig holes first, and then I'll find Ah Yin, who will arrange patrols and hunting. Aunt, you, Abby, and Aoun will spend this time together. Make furniture. I see you like wooden beds, so make some wooden furniture. The clan also has transparent stones, and then burn some transparent stone furniture. "

Five people live in a hole, which is safer, but the hole must be dug too big. " , the middle door, dug deep on the left and right sides, with three sub-orcs living on one side and two brothers living on the other side, with some furniture placed horizontally in the middle to serve as a kitchen.

Aunt Carol is a person who can quickly blend in wherever she goes, because she really likes holes and is very open about it, but she hasn't lived with her two sons for a long time.

There are some that are good and some that are not. Zhuo Yan remembered that sub-orcs still had to guard their privacy. Originally, he originally thought that Carol and Abby, especially since Abby was still an underage girl, could use bricks or wooden boards to separate the beds, and then weave straw mats. The curtain can be lowered to sleep at night.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't just leave it to Abby and Carol. Ornn was also a sub-orc.

So, let's separate the three beds.

"It's too much trouble." Abby said a little embarrassed.

Zhuo Yan: "It's no trouble. You have to spend at least one winter in the cave. Do it now if you have time. Don't regret it if you don't get used to it later."

The little girl nodded a little shyly and quietly.

Zhuo Yan called Dayun and Xiao Xian to help make the curtain. Dayun was fourteen years old, two years younger than Abby. They were both little girls - Dayun had never differentiated twice before. After being a sub-orc for a while, he should I can play with Abby.

Better integration with peers.

Five days later, the tiger cave was dug and dried, and the wooden door was ready. This time, the hinges were made of transparent stone, which was stronger. A batch was burned. In the tribe, any wooden door hinges that are aging or about to break can be replaced. .

The Tigers carried their own skins, salt, and some other things for living.

Zhuo Yan gave the cave of five people X2 clay pots, X2 transparent buckets, X6 bowls and chopsticks, spoons, salt shakers, etc. After the five people had completely checked in, there was a bang bang bang sound in the tribal square that day, so they gathered for a meeting.

"After we came back, I believe everyone in the tribe heard what the five Tiger Tribe people were doing. Today I will tell you in detail. The Khajiit Tribe has a kind of velvet grass, which is very warm and can be woven into cloth to make clothes and quilts to keep out the cold in winter. "

Tiger people come to our tribe to learn how to make looms, spin threads, and weave cloth. We provide accommodation and food for the five tiger people. At the same time, the tiger people leader made a promise. If the tiger people learn well, they will be the first." Most of the clothes and quilts made from the velvet grass harvested by their tribe will be given to our tribe. "

"At the same time, the velvet grass seeds will also be given to our tribe."

"Because there are many ramie fields. In the past two years, we can no longer plant anything, and the Peacock clan is too busy. In a year or two, the tiger people will give us cotton clothes, and everyone in the tribe will have linen clothes and cotton clothes to wear

. When the time comes, leave half of the ramie field, and the remaining half can be planted with velvet grass, or depending on what you like to wear, you can also exchange it with our linen and tiger-man cotton-padded clothes."

A few days ago, the clan leader just came back and brought the tiger-men. , even Asu and Aman have told everyone why the tiger people are coming, but there are many people in the tribe, and the words are passed around, so there is no guarantee that there will be no misunderstandings.

Zhuo Yan held a meeting here to solemnly explain the causes and consequences, as well as the reasons why he made such an exchange, and gave everyone a look into the future - there is no need for the leopard people to weave soft velvet grass, the leopard people can all wear cotton clothes!

How great.

Sure enough, the eyes of the Leopard people were bright, and they looked at the five Tiger people even more enthusiastically.

The patriarch is so smart!

So that's it, they have clothes to wear without them having to work!

What do cotton-padded clothes look like? It sounds very soft and warm, a little thicker than linen, so is it just right to wear in spring? Very good!

After Zhuo Yan introduced the five tiger men, he added, "We brought back some earth dragon grass from the tiger tribe, which can be crushed to treat frostbite. They are all at Asu's place. If you need them, you can contact Asu." "

There is also a kind of grass that tastes very sour, which can be used as a condiment - like pepper and chili, for cooking. I brought the seeds back and planted them collectively next year. Then the harvest will be distributed to everyone. Some, everyone has a taste. "

There is too much content, the Leopard people are still thinking.

But Zhuo Yan entered the next step: "We can start preparing and storing meat for the winter. Starting tomorrow, in addition to electricity, the orcs in the tribe will listen to A Yin's arrangements and start hunting farther out. The orcs in the tribe will move the meat drying rack. Come out and make preparations."

Everyone looked at Dian, why except Dian?

Dian was a little embarrassed and wanted to say, "She and her partner don't need to go to Snow Deer Mountain." She looked at the clan leader, but the clan leader nodded, as if thinking for a moment, and said: "Dian, if you are afraid of danger, after I leave, there will be no You can pick one of the orcs who go to Snow Deer Mountain to go out with you."

"Go early and come back early."

Time is not tight now. I can go out for a short vacation. After a while, it will not be suitable to go out - he I agreed to call before leaving.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting. Let's have a good rest these days. We will be very busy in the future."

Zhuo Yan and A Yin left first. As soon as they left, the tribe members were still thinking about what the leader said just now, because the content was too Many people talked about cotton, chatting enthusiastically with the tiger people, asking about the taste of earth dragon grass, velvet grass, and sour grass, and some making fun of friends and relatives. Anyway, it was lively and talked about. What a pass.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the bamboo forest. I'm going to see the bamboo forest."

The dating duo went to play in the bamboo forest by the river.

Among the crowd in the tribe square, Zhuo Lezhuo Buhei looked at his father and his father. The shadows were gone. The two siblings were used to it - because since they returned to the tribe, their father and father were busy every day, only in the evening. Take them home.

"Lele is not black, are you going to play at my house later?" After Feng Ling finished speaking, he added, "I asked Tiger and Blizzard, and they both came."

"That's okay, let's go play in the mountains behind your house. ?" Zhuo Le said. She hasn't been to the back yet.

Feng Chime hesitated for a moment, "I have to ask grandma later."

"Why?" Zhuo Le was curious. In the tribe, they often went to the kiln factory by the river to play. She had never been to the square or behind the square.

Wind chimes can't be said.

"We don't want to run out, we just stay in the clan."

"That's right."

Zhuo Kang sat in Blizzard's arms and listened to the conversation between his sister and Feng Chime. Finally, Feng Chime said let's go, and Zhuo Le ran very fast. Zhuo Kang stretched out his paw and touched Blizzard's arm. Blizzard lowered his head and said, "What's wrong, Kang Bao?"

"Ooooooooo~" Zhuo Kang called out several times.

Blizzard asked tentatively: "We are all going to play in the back, don't you want to go?"

"Ouch~" shook his head.

"Do you want to go?"

"Aww~" Nodding, Zhuo Kang looked at the direction in which his younger siblings were running and shook his head.

Blizzard shouted first: "Wait a minute, Kangbao has something to say."

Zhuo Le, who was running very fast, stopped suddenly and Buhei bumped into his sister's back. The two of them returned with their friends. The two siblings were human-shaped and large. They stood in front of Blizzard and looked at their eldest brother, Kangkang.

The little leopard barked several times.

No one understood, but Blizzard still carried Kang Bao to find Uncle Ada. When Ada heard that several children were going to play in the back, she touched her son's head and said, "I'll take you to play. Let's go."

Then they set off happily.

The "back mountain" was actually the front one before, because at that time the tribe was centered on the square. There were clan leaders living near the square, and there were many caves for fighting and hunting brave orcs. The mountain was also relatively high, and the river and Amanda's residence is the back mountain.

Unknowingly, because Zhuo Yan's salt-drying, kiln-drying, meat-drying, etc. were all by the river, and Zhuo Yan became the clan leader, the river in front became crowded with people, and the clan members went there every day.

Newly born cubs naturally think that this is the back.

Ada was playing with her cubs. Zhuo Le and the others had never been here before and had always been curious. They climbed quickly and turned a corner. On a big tree at a peak, a very big leopard was staring at it. Their evil eyes swept over the faces of the cubs one by one, and finally their eyes fell on Blizzard and Zhuo Kang in Blizzard's arms.

Blizzard was a little scared by being stared at - this was the natural fear of beasts and beasts suppressing their power.

Zhuo Kang in his arms looked at the other party calmly, and stepped on Blizzard's arm with his little paws. Blizzard suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head and looked at Kangbao with concern. Kangbao must be very scared, he stretched out his arm to block Kangbao.

"Gu Tian, ​​what are you looking at?" Ada didn't hear the cubs playing and ran over to see what was going on.

The big leopard lying on the tree stared at Ada instead and roared several times.

If the orcs were here to understand, the leopard Gu Tian said: Your grandmother is also very powerful. Now you are reduced to looking after cubs. It is really embarrassing to the orcs.

"It's none of your business, and because you are an orc, it's embarrassing to scare the cubs." After Ada finished speaking, he called out the names of several cubs, "Go down and play."

Several people quickly followed their father/uncle Ada. Go down the mountain.

"Uncle Ada, who is that leopard?", "How come we have never seen it before.", "He is so fierce.", "He is so big, as if he wants to eat us.", "I don't like it. "He." "Me too."

The cubs chatted, Zhuo Le was a little scared, but fortunately Uncle Ada came with them.

Ada touched a few heads and said, "Let's go play with the toys by the river."

"I know, Uncle Ada."

In the afternoon, Zhuo Yan was startled when he saw Ada looking for him. After hearing what happened at noon, Zhuo Yan couldn't help but stare. A bit colder.

"... He might just be scaring the cubs. No one in the clan will harm the cubs, but I still told Zhuo Le and the others not to go there." Ada said.

"I know, thank you Ada."

"I should." Ada said.

After Ada left, Zhuo Yan's face became a little more serious. He had heard from Dashan before that Amu and the other three had made an oath to support him when he became the new clan leader. During this period, Furukawa and his son had always been very "secure", but today He gave a heads up.

Furukawa and his son did not support him in the square that day, but chose to leave. That was not an oath. Perhaps in their hearts he is not their patriarch.

He also had to be more careful about guarding the two of them.

Zhuo Yan looked at A Yin, and the two exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

In the evening, A Yin carried his most important person, Zhuo Yan, and three cubs to play in the bamboo forest. The three cubs sat in order, with Kang Bao at the front and Zhuo Yan at the end, almost sitting on A Yin's hip.

Ah Yin said, "Are you scared today?"

"No," Zhuo Le said loudly.

Zhuo Buhei lowered his head and said weakly: "Sister, I was scared."

"...Okay, I am a little bit too, I just feel so embarrassed." Zhuo Le said that she was the strongest and strongest among her friends. , but as a result, he didn't dare to move after just one look.

Ah Yin let out a low laugh, which was not meant as a mockery. He lay down, let the cubs jump down, and circled the child with his tail. Zhuo Yan held Kang Bao, and the family of five sat on the grass under the bamboo forest.

"When I was a child, my name was not A Yin, I was called Baimaozai." A Yin was still in his animal form and began to talk about his childhood, "Everyone in the tribe was a leopard. I can't remember how old I was, but I lived in a big cave. Sometimes I would I was kicked away by the orcs, and the better ones told me to go away..."

Zhuo Yan knew that A Yin was miserable when he was a child, but hearing A Yin's own words about what happened as a child made him feel very uncomfortable. He was driven away and disliked wherever he went, and his meat was divided among the tribe. There will be him when he is a child, but when he refuses to transform, the meat he gets will be snatched away by some stronger cubs...

The eyes of the three little guys were red when they heard this. Zhuo Le was the most angry and held his hand He raised his fists and said, "I want to protect my father!"

"I want it too! Beat the bad guys away!" Zhuo Buhei.

Ah Yin smiled and said with some pride: "Then I don't need you anymore. Your father protected me and took me back. It was the snow season, and when I was waiting to die..."

"I ate very little back then, and there weren't as many potatoes as now. , most of the time everyone will be hungry, so everyone likes to worship the orcs, and the orcs compete in hunting. But now you see in the tribe, the orcs plant and pick endless food, all because your father is very smart and wise. "A Yin began to praise her brother mindlessly, sincerely and sincerely -

Zhuo Yan: Ahem, reminder.

Your focus has taken a wrong turn! ! !

Ah Yin: Oh oh oh, I forgot to mention Furukawa and his son. So he promptly changed his words: "The leopard you saw today is the leopard Gu Tian who stole my meat."

"His father is actually my father. I was killed because I was too weak and my coat color was different. " Kick me out. He doesn't care about my life or death. When he chases me away, he is no longer my father."

Zhuo Yan couldn't help but see that the children were so angry that they were about to catch up with the little frog. He touched the children's heads and said, "Father, me, and you three, we are a family."

He also refined the key points: "Furukawa and his son looked down on the sub-orcs, and they did not support me when I was the clan leader, because I am a sub-orc, and they think that the orc should be the leader, as the orc is more powerful."

"You have different coat colors, and there are Blizzard and Tiger. One of them is a tiger cub, and the other is a peacock and leopard. Furukawa and his son definitely don't like this. "Yes."

Zhuo Le: "I don't care if he likes it or not, I just like my partner!"

"Yes!"

Even Kangbao let out a loud cry.

"Yes, we don't care about them. You are still very weak now. At this time, you must grow up safely and healthily. Whether it is different hair colors or different looks, orcs and sub-orcs each have their own advantages. There are many dangers in this grassland, but unity Together, survival will become life."

Zhuo Yan touched Kangkang's hair, and Kangkang looked up at his father.

"Maybe you, like my father, will take a long time to separate, or maybe not, but we are a family together, with tribesmen and partners. Kangkang should also work hard to grow up healthily."

Zhuo Kang licked his father's fingers, and he understood. .

It was night, and the large silver leopard carried his companion and three cubs back to the cave. Zhuo Yan: ...I seem to have forgotten something?

"Ah Yin, did you hear the cooing?"

Zhuo Le raised his hand, "Daddy is my belly, I'm so hungry."

"..." Sure enough, he forgot to eat.

You can see the smile on the leopard's face, and my brother is confused sometimes, which is very cute. Ah Yin said, "Let me do it when you get back. I can make barbecue."

"Okay. Let's have barbecue tonight." Zhuo Yan was too lazy to cook anything complicated, so he just had a bite.

Today's family team building in the bamboo forest is still useful. Lele and Buhei often play in the old place with their friends. Even if they are exploring, they will ask adults if they can, and sometimes even call Dayun and Ayong. ——Ayong is Uncle Ahe's second son, an orc who is fifteen or sixteen years old.

Two big boy orcs took a group of little carrot heads out for an 'adventure'. Of course, just play near the tribal territory.

In the past, Zhuo Le was very courageous and had the courage of 'a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers'. Now I know that she is still very weak at this stage and needs to eat well and work hard to grow up and become stronger.

"I want to become an orc and protect my brother from now on!" Zhuo Le said.

Tiger asked: "What if I don't turn into an orc?"

Zhuo Buhei, the younger brother, first said: "No, my sister is definitely the most powerful orc -"

"If it doesn't work, it won't work. My father said that sub-orcs are also very powerful. Awesome." Zhuo Le didn't care, and thought of a second way, "If I were a sub-orc, I would be as smart as my father."

Zhuo Buhei said, "Sister, you are already very smart!"

Feng Ling was curious ! Asked: "Then you won't protect your father?"

"My father is protected by my father, and my father is very powerful."

"My father is also very powerful!" Feng Ling said.

Tiger: "My father is also very powerful."

Blizzard: "My father and father are also very powerful and very smart."

The children got off topic and were very happy. In the minds of the cubs, their father, mother and father are also very powerful. They are all the most powerful.

As for Zhuo Kang, since that day, he has been running more frequently on the ground. In the past, he would hang his head uncomfortably after taking only two steps. Blizzard felt distressed when he saw it and held Kang Bao in his arms all day long. But now Zhuo Kang They run and play every day, and even fight and play with the tribe's leopard cubs that were born during the rainy season. Blizzard follows behind and watches, and only lets Blizzard hold him when he is tired.

After Zhuo Yan saw this, he touched his chin, "Why do I feel that Kangkang was not feeling well before because he was lazy? Did he lie to us?"

Are you such a thief?

Ah Yin glanced at his brother, thought for a moment and said, "Kang Bao is with my brother."

What are you talking about! Zhuo Yan glared angrily.

Ah Yin smiled and said, "Lazy people are also very cute."

Zhuo Yan, who is smooth and smooth, said, "That's true too." He is too diligent and has endless work to do, "But children still need to run more and exercise." "You can grow up this way."

"Brother is right," A Yin said hurriedly.

Less than half a month later, Dian and his partner came back, along with a pair of orcs. The four of them brought back some transparent stones and said that they had encountered a werewolf tribe in Snow Deer Mountain. However, the werewolf tribe went to get the transparent stones, and the werewolf tribe also came back. I have burned stone tools several times since I returned from the market, and I finally learned how to do it.

The four of them all looked good and seemed to be full of energy.

Zhuo Yan: Let's go hunting, we have to be busy.

In the days that followed, we hunted and dried the meat together. One batch after another was distributed to various caves. The riverside of the kiln was hung with meat every day, and the tiger tribe living nearby volunteered to help watch the meat at night. Zhuo Of course Yan agreed and arranged for the orcs in the tribe to work in shifts.

After the meat is stored, the fields are harvested and there are still ramie fields.

There were too many things to collect, but Kong Xingxing didn't have a bad face, because - the five Tigermen were too powerful!

Even Ma Ha rushed here after going out for hunting. When he saw the tiger people doing so, he couldn't help but said: "The tiger people are so good."

Of course, Kong Xingxing was not particularly evil. The little landowner asked his younger brother Kong Yue to take Ai Bi went to pack up the loom, check the parts and so on, and then the two of them were responsible for transporting it. In the field, the harvest was done by Peacock Four, Shitou, Yiming Erhuang, Carol, and Orn - the harvest was almost finished when Maha came. .

But because the four tiger men are so fierce, even Aunt Carol is very powerful.

Aunt Carol is an enthusiastic aunt who is about 1.85 meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and hands as big as cattail fans. She is a sub-orc whose partner has left early, but she can raise a pair of sons, which shows her strength.

Once upon a time, Aunt Carol had killed several tiger beasts with a stone knife.

However, Aoun looks thinner, but also very strong.

Kong Xingxing was afraid that people would get tired. From the beginning, "It's great that these tiger people work fast and well and are not afraid of getting tired" to "Are they too unafraid of being tired and working hard enough not to get into trouble?", he was confused. They are too embarrassed to ask their clansmen to rest - it's like being lazy and asking them to work more.

"No, no, Shitou, tell the four of them to have a rest." Kong Xingxing said.

Shitou looked at the stars, "I told you, but they said you're not tired."

"Look at me!" Kong Xingxing ran over and said, "We rest and you rest too. Don't say you're not tired. Let me look at your hands, especially your hands. Learning to weave."

Carol and Aoun stretched out their hands. They had broad hands with scars and calluses on the backs. These were hands that worked frequently and were rough, strong and strong.

Kong Xingxing stretched out his hand, and when the two tiger men saw it, they couldn't help exclaiming: "Your hands are so white.", "So thin and tender, even tenderer than a cub."

Carol also wanted to say that she was too thin to do it . It's not okay if you can't work, but she didn't say it, because she remembered that the work of the peacocks was weaving, and she couldn't help but be stunned. Does weaving require the same hands as cubs? Can she and Ornn do it?

Only Shitou felt sad when he looked at it, because Xingxing's hands used to be prettier than they are now, but now Xingxing's palms have thin calluses.

Kong Xingxing frightened the two of them and said, "So you need to rest while working, and when you are weaving, you need to take care of your hands and apply more grease."

"Okay." Carol nodded seriously.

After the ramie harvest was finished, Kong Xingxing asked Kong Yue to deliver two pieces of soap to Tiger Cave.

"Let's wash our hands with soap from now on." Aunt Carol said seriously to Orn and Abby.

The three of them all knew that they had to protect their hands. This was so that the tribesmen could wear cotton-padded clothes. Of course, they did so seriously. Later, they also used grease to wipe their hands.

After harvesting the ramie, they began to help study in the open air in the yard of the textile factory. Each of the three of them had a peacock teacher to teach them how to get ramie silk, how to dry it and other processes - I had seen Yi Ming Er Huang before, and my head was blown away.

Chief Zhuo Yan was right, he really needed to live with the Leopard Man and learn more.

"You mentioned the velvet grass in the tribe. I know it. Chief Zhuo Yan showed it to me. Ramie is made from silk on the pole, while velvet grass is twisted into threads -" Kong Xingxing called Kong Huo, and Kong Huo took the rattan basket. , inside is a basket of velvet grass.

Then Kong Xingxing began to teach a few people to remove cotton seeds, comb the cotton on a 'comb' made of transparent stones, and finally started to rub the cotton thread, teaching a few people how to rub it.

Aunt Carol was stunned when she saw this. She knew that Patriarch Zhuoyan brought a basket of velvet grass with him when he left their tribe, but she didn't expect to teach them this. She couldn't help but feel touched. Patriarch Zhuoyan was too attentive.

The peacock clan has never seen the velvet grass in their clan, but it can twist out cotton thread. It is so good, it is really amazing. Aoun thought so too.

In fact, Kong Xingxing: He had to rub someone secretly behind his back for quite a while before he succeeded.

Only Shitou has seen the above scene. Boss Kong still cares about face.

"Weaving means using threads to weave them into cloth. Your cotton is velvet grass. Zhuo Yan always called this cotton. According to what he told me, twist it into cotton thread and our ramie thread. The subsequent process is the same. ..."

When the three of them heard this, they learned more seriously. It was just the first day: it was so difficult. They were clumsy and couldn't take off the ramie silk. They even tried twisting the cotton thread but they didn't succeed.

Sure enough, you have to live in the Leopard People and learn slowly.

After rubbing the cotton they brought, the three of them were still ignorant and not yet proficient.

Seeing that the three of them were worried, Shitou comforted him and said, "I've asked the clan leader. You first learn how to wind warp threads for weaving. After you learn it, next year Xingxing and I can go to the Tiger Clan and teach you how to twist cotton threads." "

Great!" Aunt Carol breathed a sigh of relief. She had been twisting cotton thread in her dream last night, but she still couldn't do it. She was very scared.

Now that it's okay, you can learn to weave first.

The tiger people have more respect and gratitude for the leader Zhuo Yan, and of course they are also very grateful to the Peacock teachers.

Peacocks: Hehehe, although there is a lot of ramie today, it is easier to harvest than the first year. It will be even easier when they teach the three tiger men!

Gearing up and excited to teach.

Kong Xingxing admired Zhuo Yan even more for coming up with such an idea and finding a helper for them. The always proud leader of the Peacock clan sincerely admitted this time that Zhuo Yan was indeed smarter than him. Look how grateful those tiger men were. They are really -

"Fortunately, our big guy is Zhuo Yan's partner, otherwise he would have been deceived by Zhuo Yan and still have to work for Zhuo Yan."

When Shitou heard this, he frowned and said to Xingxing, "Zhuo Yan is a very nice and kind person. Yes, don't say that to him."

"..." Kong Xingxing: "I know." The big guy is really angry.

Shitou leaned over and kissed Xingxing, and Kong Xingxing was overjoyed again.

Chapter 102

It's winter again.

As the clan leader this year, Zhuo Yan naturally has a lot to worry about. He knows how much food is stored in each cave - because of the collective distribution, the harvest in the autumn is basket after basket, not to mention the meat, which is better than last year. More.

Even so, before the first snow came, Zhuo Yan still held a meeting to remind everyone, "I dug a separate hole to store food. It's okay for the first thirty days of the snow season. When a snowstorm comes, remember to put the food in the hole a few days in advance." Move the food to the big hole. Don't think about dragging it because of the cold, wind and snow, otherwise it will be dangerous if there is a continuous snowstorm."

"Also about the charcoal, don't cover the door of the cave too tightly, otherwise the charcoal will be easy to burn. If you are poisoned, you will feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit. At this time, you need to open the cave door for ventilation. "

Last point, there may be a tide of beasts coming this year. Prepare tools in the cave. If there are orcs, sub-orcs should also prepare tools to defend themselves."

"By the way, during the first twenty days or so of the snow season, Ah Yin and I used to break ice on the river. There were some fish, and you could do it if you wanted. But you had to be careful to prevent the ice from cracking and people falling in. "The current is very strong and very cold at this time."

Zhuo Yan shared his family's experience of eating fish, but the people in the tribe are very ordinary about fish. Unless they are very hungry and have little food, they will only consider fish - they are still sub-orcs. There are too many considerations, and the orcs would rather catch chickens, grass rats, etc.

He just talked about it, and he couldn't catch it casually.

"Is there anything else? If not, the meeting is over. I wish everyone a safe winter. See you in the spring."

The result was true. Ah Tou raised his hand and said, "Chief, after the blizzard passes, can we be the same as last year?" Are you going to continue going to Snow Deer Mountain during the snow season?"

The originally peaceful orcs in the tribe were now happy, and they all said yes, can they still go this year? "Damn it, we can't go this year, there are cubs in the cave. 'Regret.

Zhuo Yan: ...

"You can go after the snowstorm for half a month. Orcs can't go alone. It's best to go in groups. Five orcs can do it. You can discuss it yourself. If there are cubs in the cave, you can't go."

"Okay, no problem, come back. "Okay."

Ah Tou is already frantically looking for orc partners to form a team to go to Snow Deer Mountain.

The tiger people have heard of Snow Deer Mountain, where there are transparent stones, which are very close to the werewolf tribe, but seeing that the leopard people and orcs want to go like this, they are definitely not going to get the stones. Why?

"There are hot springs in Snow Deer Mountain, but the water is very warm. If orcs and their partners bathe and mate in the hot spring, they will have cubs."

"It's not certain that they will have cubs. Anyway, they came back in the spring last year, and during the rainy season, eight sub-orcs were born. They lost the cubs, ten of them!"

The five tiger men were all shocked.

One Ming and Two Yellow:! And this great place.

Carol looked at her two sons, feeling really regretful, "You don't have a partner, so even a good place has nothing to do with you."

Yi Ming Er Huang: ...

Abby is still young and is just curious about this hot spring. Is it really that magical? . Aoun listened intently and didn't know what to think.

Zhuo Yan found Uncle Ahe privately and asked him about his winter preparations. Now in the entire tribe, only Uncle Ahe is a single sub-orc with two sons, but both sons are orcs. Uncle Ahe's cave is slightly farther inside. This is the cave where Uncle Ahe and the first orc lived - it can be seen that the second orc The ability of an orc is also pretty good.

"If there really is a tide of beasts this year, we can't open the door to fight if we can. Safety is the most important thing."

Uncle Ahe nodded and said he understood. After the patriarch left, Uncle Ahe said to his two sons: "You heard me, you must listen to the patriarch. Don't risk being the first one, especially the boss."

"...I understand, Father."

"Don't you? Be convinced. You will be an adult next year. I, a sub-orc, cannot teach you hunting skills. We just need to spend this snow season safely. When spring comes, go to your uncle and ask him to arrange for you to join the patrol team. Once you have learned it, what do you want to do in the future? I don't care about you."

The eldest son said seriously this time that he understood.

The second son, A Yong, said: "There was no beast tide last year. Maybe the patriarch guessed wrong, and there won't be any this year."

"That's the best."

The first snow came as promised, and this year the cave was full of monsters. It's lively. The three cubs were very excited to spend the winter for the first time. They ran out to play under the slope when they saw the snow falling. Zhuo Kang held a small hollow ball made of rattan in his mouth, with a belt tied to it. Blizzard made it for Kangkang.

Blizzard is very clever.

"Brother, I'll do it." Zhuo Le took the ball and threw it away.

Zhuo Buhei and Zhuo Kang ran to pick up the ball together. Later, Zhuo Buhei threw it, and Zhuo Le and Zhuokang picked up the ball - because Kangkang couldn't throw the ball in his animal form, so he had to play fetch.

When Zhuo Yan saw this scene, his expression was a little complicated. Ah Yin asked in a low voice: "Is it wrong for the three of them to play ball?

" Puppies play by throwing balls.

It is a modern way of playing for the owner to throw a ball and for the puppy to pick it up. In this world, it is okay for their cubs to play like this. Brothers and sisters are friendly.

Ah Yin misunderstood and thought that her brother also wanted to play, so she turned into a beast shape and said, "Brother, if you throw the ball, I will pick it up."

Zhuo Yan: "...Okay!" Ah Yin is a bit like a puppy.

So the two fathers also joined in the fun. Later, the tooth pig also ran out to play. Down the slope, in the weaving house, the Peacock clan and the tiger men were still busy. They planned to work for another half month and not come out. The main reason was that they were too bored in the cave, so it was better to work here.

"Brother Blizzard, Brother Blizzard - Dafu rush." ​​Zhuo Le sat on Dafu and rushed towards the weaving house down the slope.

Zhuo Buhei hugged his eldest brother and ran quickly behind him.

When Bian Xue heard the laughter of several people down the slope, he stood outside to watch. Seeing Zhuo Le and others coming, he waved and shouted: "Lele, Buhei, Kangbao——"

Zhuo Yan stared at the child and ran down first. From a distance, the rocks over there were all looking at him, so he withdrew his gaze and handed the leather to Ah Yin, who was just playing in the shape of a beast. Now he was standing naked in the snow, with snowflakes falling on his body, his silver hair, and his eyelashes. superior.

They had obviously been living together day and night, but now, Zhuo Yan's hand tightened, and Ah Yin was still a little puzzled and looked at her brother.

He was so tall, but now he looked at him with wet blue and clear eyes. Zhuo Yan: Swallowed without any hope.

"I'll wear it for you."

Ah Yin reacted and smiled lightly.

Zhuo Yan: ...

The leather skirt in his hand was wrapped around A Yin's waist, and his fingers brushed against A Yin's abdominal muscles. Zhuo Yan stayed for a few seconds longer. It was obviously a cold day, but why was it so hot?

He missed last year's snow season a little bit.

Yi and A Yin's eyes met, both of them were the same.

Ah Yin looked at her brother with her blue eyes, and said in a low voice, a little pitifully: "The stone and the tiger man are there. Let the children play. There is no danger."

"I think so too." Zhuo Yan nodded.

So the two fathers went into the cave, and Ah Yin closed the door.

Zhuo Le and the three of them brought Yazhu to the weaving house and talked for a long time with the Peacock and Tiger uncles. Zhuo Le said, "Why haven't dad and uncle come yet?" "

Is dad in danger? " Come on!" Zhuo Buhei wanted to run out and take a look.

Kong Xingxing asked: "Your father is coming over?"

"Yes, Uncle Xingxing, our father and father were playing ball with us down the slope just now." Zhuo Le said, but she didn't believe that her father was in danger because her father was here. , so he grabbed his brother's hair and stopped running.

Shitou: "You guys stay here and play, I'll go take a look."

"...Blizzard, you can play here with your friends, and I'll take a look with your dad." Kong Xingxing said seriously.

The child was so moved that Zhuo Buhei thanked Uncle Shitou and Uncle Xingxing loudly.

Shitou laughed and said you're welcome. He originally wanted to tell Xingxing that it was cold outside and it would be fine if he went, but Xingxing had already put on a cloak and held his hand and went out, so he swallowed his words.

The two of them went out and walked up the slope for five or six meters.

Kong Xingxing scratched Shi Shi's palm with his leather hand, "Don't tell me, you can't see what Zhuo Yan and A Yin are busy with."

"You also know?" After Shi Shi finished speaking, he felt that he was stupid for asking, Xing Xing He was so smart, he could see it, and Xingxing must have known it too. He couldn't help but smile, "I don't want Lele and the others to rush over. Zhuo Yan is so shy, so sorry."

Kong Xingxing nodded and stopped talking about Zhuo Yan and Ah. Regarding Yin's matter, he concentrated on and said happily: "Someone is watching the little ones in the weaving house. Let's go on a date."

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"I think it's just right." Kong Xingxing said stiffly.

When Shitou heard this, he smiled happily. He knew that Xingxing was tough, but Xingxing also wanted to be alone with him. From the ramie harvest to now, the two of them had been busy most of the time. Even when they were free, there was a blizzard in the cave, and everything Can't do it.

Moreover, in more than half a month, the weather will get colder, and Xiaoyue and the four of them will also move to their cave. Thinking of this, Shitou came over and hugged the stars and kissed them.

A date that takes advantage of every opportunity to make out.

At this moment, the two of them could understand how difficult it was for the patriarch and uncle.

...Zhuo Yan does miss last winter a little bit, but it's not bad now. There is a kind of excitement of 'having an affair', plus it's been too long - so it's very strong, really very strong.

The two of them only came once, but it was a long time. It was their father's sense of responsibility that reminded them that they could not continue.

"It's time to pick up the child."

"Yeah." Ah Yin looked at her brother, restrained her continued heartbeat, and kissed him again.

Zhuo Yan felt a little weak. Ah Yin knew it and said, "I'll pick them up." He got up and wiped his brother first, then wiped the straw mat. Zhuo Yan rolled to a clean place, and Ah Yin pulled the leather over his body to cover him.

It's really strange. I was worried that it would be inconvenient to clean and there would be a smell on the leather. Of course, it was also because I hadn't done it for a long time and the gun went off. In short, I just opened the leather on the stone bed and started working directly on the straw mat.

There was no fire in the cave. It was obviously very cold, but the two of them were sweating profusely.

The wooden door at the entrance of the cave was half opened, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in.

Zhuo Yan's skin seemed to be cooked all over, and it finally slowly cooled down. He was covered with leather. At this time, he got up and put on his clothes. He felt a sense of satisfaction after being satisfied. He said in a hoarse voice: "Go and pick it up." I'll take some time to clean it up."

"Okay."

A Yin is out in his beast form.

In the weaving house.

Zhuo Lezhuo, the tiger watcher's aunt and sister and uncle were winding the thread, but the siblings were lively and couldn't sit still. They wanted to go out after a while. Lele said: "I want to go home."

"Me too. "Zhuo Buhei listens to his sister.

"Uncle Xingxing and Uncle Stone didn't come back."

"I don't know."

Carol smiled and said, "Just wait for a while."

Aoun took the cooked peanuts and handed them to Lele and Buhei. He didn't say anything, just handed it over. Zhuo Le took it, and only Zhuo Buhei took it. The two siblings thanked him, and Aoun shook his head and said no thank you. He didn't have a smile on his face, and his expression remained the same as before.

But Lele and Buhei know that Uncle Aoun is a good person. They gnawed peanuts for a while. Zhuo Le couldn't sit still and wanted to leave again, but turned around before reaching the door: "Brother, let's go home."

Zhuo Kang was lying on the bed, Blizzard was smoothing Kang Bao's hair, and Zhuo Kang spread his limbs comfortably. , exposed his belly, and Blizzard touched Kangbao's ears.

"Ouch." Zhuo Kang lazily called out without moving his body. He obviously didn't want to go out at the moment.

Zhuo Le: ...Okay.

"Then let's eat peanuts for a while."

...

When A Yin's beast form went to pick up the child, Kong Xingxing and Shitou had just returned. A Yin called the names of the three of them one by one. In the corner of the door, Yazhu and his son were also lying down. He was sleeping on the ground and stood up when he heard the sound.

"Let's go!" Zhuo Buhei was the first to rush out to find his father.

Blizzard went out with Kang Bao in his arms.

A Yin thanked Boss Kong and Shi Shi for helping him look after the cubs. Kong Xingxing smiled in confusion: "You're welcome." Because he had just come back and didn't see the cub for long.

Zhuo Le let her younger brother go first, and she took over from her eldest brother and sat at the end. Like her father and uncle, she wanted to protect her family, whether they were orcs or sub-orcs.

The eldest brother may not be able to transform, so she must protect him!

Blizzard: "Goodbye Kang Bao."

"Goodbye Lele Buhei."

The silver leopard whimpered, carrying the cub on its back, followed by two running tooth pigs, and disappeared into the wind and snow.

The snow is heavy again. Before Shitou closed the door, he glanced at the sky and said, "Xingxing, you can't do it for a few more days. If it's too cold, go back to the cave early."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Kong Xingxing listened to Shitou very much in winter.

All four are peacocks.

On the way back, the wind and snow blinded my eyes and it was very cold. Ah Yin arrived very quickly. In the cave, Zhuo Yan had already put on his clothes and lit the stove. When he saw the children coming back, he rubbed the children's faces one by one. They were soft and cold.

"Go and warm up over the fire. Let's have a pot of stew tonight." Zhuo Yan said.

Ah Yin was wrapped in leather and said, "Brother, I'm going to chop some food for Dafu and Da Ming and let them go into the cave."

"Okay."

Zhuo Le wanted to go as soon as he heard this. The child couldn't use up all his energy. Zhuo Yan didn't hesitate and looked at Buhei and Kangbao, "Where are you two? Are you going out?"

"I'm not going." Zhuo Buhei clung to his father.

Zhuo Kang jumped on their bed.

It was a large wooden bed, next to the stone bed, covered with thick leather and very soft. The three cubs slept here. Sleeping together was the best way to keep warm in winter.

In the evening, there was a pot of stew. The dried wild vegetables, potato slices, and bacon were lightly fried in oil, then water was added, boiled, and some Dudu fruit pancake strips made by Zhuo Yan were put in it, just like noodles.

One person has a big bowl, and a family of five eats around the table - Kangkang can eat lying down on the table.

After dinner, Ah Yin went to the river to fetch water. It had been raining all day and there was not much snow yet. He boiled water to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and boiled another pot of hot water. Zhuo Yan scrubbed and cleaned the three children, holding them in his arms. People go to bed and say, "Okay."

"Dad, are you going to sleep now?"

"You don't have to sleep." Zhuo Yan thought for a moment, "Shall I tell you a story?"

The eyes of the three cubs gleamed.

It was like this for the next few days. It was snowing outside. The three cubs got up early and had breakfast. They would go to the weaving house to play in the snow. But as the snow became heavier and heavier, five days later, Shitou said: "We can't do it here in the weaving house." Go to sleep, we have to go back to the cave."

Before leaving, the tigers also cleared the snow from the roof. They were afraid that the snow would collapse the house and they would not be able to weave next year.

The three cubs can't go play in the blizzard. After that, they can only play with balls, tooth pigs, and build snowmen. However, the weather is getting colder and colder. Even Zhuo Buhei is not willing to stay outside for a long time, and the sky is always gray. Mommy couldn't see the sun, so she had to stay in the cave.

"Dad, how long will it take for winter to pass?" Zhuo Le asked.

Zhuo Yan knew that Lele was starting to feel bored.

"It's just begun. There are still seventy-three days left."

Zhuo Le counted his own on his fingers, then went to count Zhuo Buhei's, and then counted his elder brother's. After counting, he still couldn't, "Toes, hurry up, your toes." The head is exposed."

Zhuo Yan was cooking beside him and couldn't help but said: Hahahahaha. Laughing at my daughter.

Lele counted three of them, but it was still not enough. Ah Yin handed over ten fingers, and Zhuo Yan said, "Would you like me to lend you three more fingers?"

"Oh, why are there so many." Zhuo Le already felt that it was a lot.

Zhuo Yan touched his daughter's head and said, "The snow season is very long. If you are bored, daddy will tell you stories and we can also do some handicrafts."

This is the only way to pass the time.

"Boring is boring, but Dad, Xue Ji is also very good."

Zhuo Yan:?

True or false.

"You and your father are playing with us and telling stories. We are a family in the cave."

Zhuo Buhei nodded, "Dad was very busy before."

Zhuo Yan's father was moved and reflected that he really left time for his children. Missing - but wait is wrong. He also told stories to the children before, but except for meal time during the day, he could not see three of them at all, especially Zhuo Le Zhuo was not black and ran out to play every day.

Sure enough, a few days later, Zhuo Le held his chin and looked at the wooden door, "Dad, you are right."

"???"

"Even a family cannot stay together every day, people still have to have their own activities "

A Yin said at this time: "You can't, I like to stay with my brother very much, and you will do the same when you have a partner."

"Then I don't want a partner." Zhuo Buhei said.

Zhuo Le nodded, yes. There were five people in their family, but it was still a bit boring. If two people were trapped in the cave - God, she would definitely suffocate to death.

Zhuo Yan: ...We are all free now. Let's start discussing things like the future of our life partners, which are still far away. Why not shell the yellow rice from our own cave and steam the yellow rice steamed buns.

He gives tasks to the children, so they can do some work so they won't be bored.

Another point is that when the weather gets cold, Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei try to compete with their eldest brother to sleep with them at night. In the end, the eldest brother sleeps in the middle because he is furry and warm.

Zhuo Kang used to sleep at the end of the bed in the corner, and slept in the middle of the night. When he woke up in the morning, the hair all over Kang Kang's body was exploding, and his whole leopard face looked worried and a little irritable -

Zhuo Yan was rare. The eldest son of his family has always had a stable expression since he was a child. He has never been seen angry, and he has never interfered in the conflicts between the three cubs.

Zhuo Le knelt down on the bed and apologized to her elder brother.

"Brother, I didn't want to rub you. I had a dream last night that my fur was warm and soft, so I rubbed you."

Zhuo Buhei knelt on the other side and looked at his elder brother.

"Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have grabbed your tail." He pointed his butt towards the elder brother again, "You come and grab me, oh, I don't have a tail, you can give me a slap on the butt."

Zhuo Yan:... ...

Zhuo Buhei, why don't you talk about Senmo Dongdong again!

The two siblings begged Big Brother to continue sleeping tonight. The left one said, "Please, I won't fuck you tonight, big brother." The right one said, "Big brother, please, big brother." Finally, Kangkang agreed coldly.

"That's great!"

"Brother is really warm."

"That's right."

"Brother, you're so kind."

Zhuo Yan: The two brothers are making rainbow farts, but Kangbao doesn't like them.

"Okay, you can go out to the river tomorrow." A Yin said.

The three cubs were all stunned and looked at their father in disbelief, "Can we go out to play?", "Is the snow going to stop?", "Great!"

"The snow hasn't stopped, we can play, we are going to the river. While fishing." Zhuo Yan said.

He was getting tired of eating bacon and bacon every day, so he wanted to change the menu. Moreover, this was the only time in the next month that he could go out for a "far-distance" activity. After thinking about it, he and Ah Yin decided to take the children with them.

In such a difficult living environment in this world, blind protection and care is obviously not good for the cubs, and they need to be trained to adapt.

So on this day, the three cubs - even Zhuo Kang, who had always been emotionally stable, was a little excited this night, waving his furry tail, lying between his younger brothers and sisters. Zhuo Le Zhuo Buhei was already reaching out excitedly. Lust their eldest brother, obviously he forgot what he said just before kneeling on the bed during the day and kowtow to make a promise.

But it doesn't matter, because their eldest brother is also very happy now!

The three cubs slept soundly that night.

Early the next morning.

"Get dressed yourself and ask your father to help you clean." Zhuo Yan was cooking and had no time to look after the three of them.

The three said yes excitedly, and Zhuo Kang whined twice.

Ah Yin took the children outside to brush their teeth and clean them. After returning to the cave, Zhuo Yan asked them to have breakfast. After eating, they went over. The preparation was very simple. The steamed steamed buns were heated before, and some minced bacon was added. The steamed buns were as big as fists. Both black and white can eat three!

After breakfast, Zhuo Lezhuo Buhei wore linen shorts and bellybands, and Ah Yin wrapped the two of them in leather - leather skirts, waistcoats, and their feet and legs were all wrapped in leather.

"Father, I can hardly move!" Zhuo Le didn't like being so clumsy.

Zhuo Yan: "That's not okay. It has to be wrapped up." He himself did the same.

"Then my eldest brother -" Zhuo Buhei just started, and saw his father holding a waistcoat for his eldest brother to wear, so he shut up. Does the eldest brother, who is so furry and warm, need to wear a waistcoat?

My father doesn't even wear it.

"Your father is now an adult, and his hair is very thick. Kangkang needs to wear it." Kangbao is still in poor health and is relatively weak, so it is better to wear it.

Zhuo Kang just stood obediently and let his father dress him, and he would stretch out his paws in cooperation.

Zhuo Yan: Hehehe, what a cute little boy.

In the family, except for the silver leopard, which was still majestic and huge, the other four were wrapped up like penguins. They moved around while walking, which was like riding on my father's back.

Zhuo Yan sat at the end, wrapping the cubs in the leather of his big cloak and wrapping them in another layer.

"Dad, it's so hot."

"It won't be hot in a while." Zhuo Yan ruthlessly covered her skin tightly.

Zhuo Le: ...

The conversation between the two was blown away by the wind and snow, and they have already set off.

When they arrived at the river, the wind and snow subsided a little. Zhuo Yan and the others went to the ice at their old place. A Yin opened his mouth and said, "Brother, someone came here a few days ago, and there is a gap in the ice on that side." "

I guess there will be less fish today . "As little as possible," Zhuo Yan said, while telling the children: "Don't go to the place where your father said. The ice over there has been broken open, and now it's a thin layer. You fell in, and it's very dangerous." The cold is very dangerous."

"I know, Dad!"

Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei both behaved in order to come out to play, and even said, "I will watch the elder brother."

Zhuo Kang swiped the two siblings with their tails!

He is very well-behaved, so you don't need to look!

Three little penguins stayed on the ice. Ah Yin turned into a human form and held a tool in his hand to find a suitable ice layer and determined the suitable position. Zhuo Yan tried it first. He was also very bored. Eating fish seemed to be the second best. , mainly for fun.

"Dad, is this ice very thick?"

"Dad, I can't see anything!" Zhuo Buhei lay on the ice and looked down.

Zhuo Yan: "It's okay now, but it will get thicker when the snowstorm comes. The three of you stand farther away. That's right, that's right there."

He and A Yin started to dig holes, and the three of them lay on the ice and looked down. We were muttering about how thick the ice was and how we didn't see any fish, and then for some reason we came up with a bet like 'who dares to lick the ice' - a bet similar to 'my dad dares to eat shit'.

Of course Zhuo Yan wouldn't dare!

Zhuo Buhei and Zhuo Le were eager to give it a try. Zhuo Kang, the eldest brother in the shape of a beast, was watching his younger brothers and sisters. Hearing that the two of them were about to lick the ice, he looked like they were looking at fools, but before he could say anything, the two of them People are already competing to see who can lick the most.

The next second, Zhuo Kang showed a smart look that said, "Sure enough," he said.

"Ouch!" Zhuo Kang ran to grab his father's leg.

Zhuo Yan: "? What's wrong?" He subconsciously felt that something was wrong with the cub. He looked a few meters away and saw Lele and Buhei, their rivals, lying on the ice, sticking out their bodies - wait, why are these two tongues stuck together? On the ice?

He rushed over quickly.

Finally, the hole opened. Zhuo Yan took a sip of water and sprayed it on the siblings.

Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei covered their mouths, neither daring to expose their tongues. Their words were slurred, but they were in good spirits. , eyes sparkling with excitement, mixed with fear.

Zhuo Yan was a little angry at first, saying, "I'm really convinced to have you two." But when he saw the fear in their eyes, he immediately changed to "I'm quite lucky to have you."

"Forget it, after suffering a loss this time, I know I can't lick it. It's okay now. If it comes to a blizzard period, there will be blood."

Ah Yin rubbed the child's head in a funny way, "You can lick it when you turn into beast form." He licked it and it was fine.

Siblings:! ! !

"Really? Father."

"Really."

Then Zhuo Kang, who was beside the adults' legs, looked at the ice. Although he was very smart, he was still a child after all. He stuck out his tongue and licked the ice gently. noodle.

Well, he's fine. Zhuo Kang's eyes are a little brighter, and his animal shape is also beneficial.

He can lick the ice!

Chapter 103 (Revision)

This year's snowstorm came four days earlier than last year. If Zhuo Yan hadn't taken the children to the river to smash the ice to fish in advance, it would have been difficult to catch fish at the same time as in previous years.

The blizzard came quickly and violently. The wooden door at the entrance of the cave creaked loudly. Ah Yin went down and found another door stick to put on top. The leather hanging on the back of the door was frozen hard and full of frost and cold air.

Charcoal began to be burned in the cave.

The three cubs were nestled on the bed and watching their father busy. Zhuo Yan sat on the edge of the bed, holding the children in his arms. He touched the heads of the three cubs one by one and said, "The weather has begun to get particularly cold. It will be fine in about a month."

"Dad, will the wooden door of our house be damaged by the frost?" "

Dad, are we going to stay in the cave and not go anywhere for this month?" " We ca

n't even go to the door!"

, she would be very sad if they all stayed in the hole.

Zhuo Yan first answered Buhei's question, "The wooden door at the entrance of our house has been in use for the fifth year. It was not broken before. I can't guarantee whether it will break this winter."

"What if Dad breaks it?" Zhuo Buhei was very worried. Own cave door.

Zhuo Yan: ..."Then use wooden planks and big rocks to prop it up first, because you can't go out to chop down trees to make wooden doors in this weather. The three of you sleep on the stone bed. Your father can transform into an animal shape and it will be much warmer. "

I know, brother is very warm." Zhuo Buhei is still worried about his wooden door, but he is not as worried as before.

Zhuo Yan continued to answer Lele's question, "You can also go to the entrance of the cave during a snowstorm. Every day, when the snow and wind subside, you can go to the cave and move around more tightly."

"Great!" Zhuo Le was happy.

Finally, Zhuo Yan looked at Kangkang. Kangkang's furry dumpling was nestling beside his sister and brother's legs. He noticed that his father was looking at him and glanced at him. There was a look of laziness and questioning in his eyes - "What's wrong with daddy?" .

...Zhuo Yan rubbed Kangkang. The furry dumpling was not cold and his heart was big.

"It's okay, you three can play."

"Dad, I don't want to play, I want to play cooking.", "Then I'll come too, sister!"

The two siblings are tired of playing games, so they might as well cook and work with their father. . Zhuo Yan: "...Okay, let's peel peanuts today."

It's better to be busy.

Zhuo Yan now particularly understands modern parents who are looking forward to the start of school, and so does he. Although the cubs are cute and biological, and their caves are quite big, a family of five can only live here for daily life. In addition, the children are full of energy and physical fitness. If you are not released, you will have "one hundred thousand reasons".

"Sister, I have three peanuts!"

"My big!"

"I have three

peanuts." "Dad, I also want three peanuts."

"Dad, why don't you have four peanuts? Dad, have you seen it?" "

Dad, I got the peanuts from Yuren. Are there four peanuts at Yuren's place?" "

Just peel a peanut." Zhuo Yan: ...

A Yin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw his brother's appearance. He thought his brother was very cute when he was with the cubs, but he still looked at the cubs and answered them one by one: "You can find three of them yourself. I've never seen four, Yu Ren's place -"

"I haven't seen one either," Zhuo Yan thought about it and found out that he had never seen a peanut with four beans. "When spring comes, you can ask Uncle Xingxing. "

I can't blame the kids, it's just too boring. Zhuo Yan adjusted his 'good dad' mentality and touched his two heads. Zhuo Kang, who was sleeping on the bed, also jumped down and put his furry head in his father's palm. He also wanted to touch it.

"Touch everything." Zhuo Yan was so happy that he finally touched A Yin's head.

Ah Yin:! happy.

The days during the snowstorm were boring, and they seemed like years at first. But when one day he looked carefully at the carvings on the cave wall, Zhuo Yan discovered that twenty-three days had passed, which was quite fast!

He told the time to the children, and the cubs became lively. Their family of five played rock-paper-scissors and backgammon in the cave. Zhuo Yan planned to burn some more checkers in the spring - made of transparent stones, and the chess pieces do not need to be too strong, so the matching It can be adjusted to transparent color, yellow earth color, and there are flowers in the tribe that can be dyed in spring, such as purple red and grass green.

That evening, the snowstorm stopped a little. Zhuo Yan dressed the cubs neatly, and he and A-Yin protected them, and let the cubs play with the tooth pig at the entrance of the cave for a while.

The beast is attacking.

The first thing Ah Yin discovered was that Zhuo Yan was holding Buhei and Lele in both hands, shouting: "Kang Bao jumps on me."

Dafu Daming ran very fast - towards their cave.

There was no time to close the hole next door.

Zhuo Yan had three cubs hanging on his body. He went into the cave first, and A Yindian escorted him from behind. He moved the big rocks at the entrance to the cave entrance first, and then closed the door. Because he discovered it early, it was faster this year than last year.

"What is the father beast tide?" Zhuo Buhei asked.

Zhuo Yan didn't have time to answer, so he asked the three of them to go back to bed while he went to get the tools.

The three of them had never seen a beast swarm before, but seeing their father and uncle like this, they knew it was dangerous. Zhuo Le pushed her brother and younger brother into the bed, and she sat on the outside, staring at the door.

The fire in the cave flickered a few times, and through the howling cold wind, the howling and roaring sounds of ghosts and wolves could be heard outside, followed closely by the banging sound of the wooden door of his house being hit. Dafu DaMing was already trembling with fear.

Ah Yin was the closest to the door. The wooden door was hit hard, making a scratching sound, and a hole was broken. Out of the hole came a leopard with crimson eyes and a crazy look.

This red-eyed leopard is extremely thin and has a head injury, but it seems to feel no pain. Its eyes only look crazy, wanting to devour and kill the people in the cave.

Ah Yin killed him with one claw.

That hole has a steady stream of red-eyed leopards trying to get in. Ah Yin stood there, killing one by one, but as time went by, there were more and more corpses on the ground, and the holes in the wooden door became bigger and bigger.

"I'm going out to kill." A Yin said.

Zhuo Yan said yes with a cold expression.

He took over Ah Yin's position, but took a few steps back, as far as he could move. He held the gun in his hand, and he would slap down anyone who dared to show his head.

The mentality from the last time I experienced the beast tide was completely different from this time. Zhuo Yan held the gun in his hand and stared at the ragged entrance of the cave. Behind him was his cub, and it was almost instinctive to start.

...

It soon calmed down. Ah Yin howled a few times outside, and other tribesmen responded with their cries in the faint wind and snow. Zhuo Yan held the gun in his hand and said, "You three cover up, I'll go out and take a look. Don't get close to the body."

"I know, dad." Zhuo Le's voice was trembling but firm.

Zhuo Yan took off his cloak and put it on on the cave wall. The ground outside was covered with red-eyed leopard carcasses, but after a while, it was covered with snow.

"I'm fine, the kids are fine."

"I had a few scratches."

The two of them said in unison. Zhuo Yan frowned when he heard that Ah Yin was scratched, but there was still work to do now, "Take care of the body first, and you go check on the situation in the clan." "

I know, brother, go in first."

The two of them split up. It was dark outside and the blizzard was blowing again. Zhuo Yan could not go out. Besides, there were children in the cave who needed to watch. A Yin began to carry the body out. Zhuo Yan closed the door and stared at the hole. .

After all, his wooden door broke this year.

It's spring and I need to get a new one.

The aftermath was no different from before. He dealt with the bloodstains in the cave and wiped off the dirty blood on his body. Of course, there were children surrounding him this year. Zhuo Yan smiled and did not touch the cub's head. "I have dirty blood on my body and I am not injured." , you go to bed first, and then we can go to sleep."

"Dad, I'm not sleepy either!" "Ouch!"

The corner of Zhuo Yan's mouth raised slightly, "Then stay with dad. Let's wait for my father to come back together."

After waiting for a long time, Ah Yin came back. His whole body was covered with cold air and he turned into a human being. His silver hair was covered with ice, and it looked like it would break if he moved.

"Someone was injured, but not dead."

"Dashan brought some earth dragon grass to everyone, and I took some too."

Zhuo Yan had already boiled a basin of hot water and looked at the scratches on A Yin's arm. The wounds had long solidified. But the skin and flesh turned out is very scary, "I'll treat your wound first."

"Okay." Ah Yin nodded obediently and stretched out his arm, and said, "It doesn't actually hurt."

Zhuo Yan looked over, and the skin and flesh were turned out, those red-eyed leopards A dead hand.

"It hurts a little bit." Ah Yin's voice was a little soft and she acted coquettishly with her brother. His brother was too worried about him and his hands were shaking. He held his brother's hand.

"I will be gentle." Zhuo Yan calmed down and wiped the wound slowly, always paying attention to A Yin's expression. "After the wound is taken care of, you and the child will go to sleep on the stone bed first. I will use a wooden board to repair the hole first. For a moment..."

"Okay."

Ah Yin glanced at his brother, who was very worried about him. "Brother, let me fix it with you. My arm is not injured. I can use this hand."

"..."

Zhuo. Yan was amused by Ah Yin, "Pass me the board."

"Dad, I can pass it too!"

"Me too!"

"Ouch!"

The cold and bloody hole returned to its previous state. Very lively.

The family sealed the broken wooden door with wooden boards and hung it with leather. The temperature in the cave was still very cold, so Zhuo Yan burned more charcoal and asked the children to sleep on the stone bed. The family huddled together, while A Yin turned into an animal shape and trapped all his brother and cubs.

In the days that followed, the whole family slept together.

Zhuo Yan was concerned about the mental health of the cubs afterwards. The three cubs said that they were frightened, stunned, a little scared, but not too much - Zhuo Le, who loves face. Followed by a hundred thousand whys.

Why does the tide of beasts look like the beasts of our clan?

Why do you want to kill us?

Dad, do they come every year during the snow season?

Zhuo Yan told the story of the gods, "...they don't come every year."

"Brother, the number of beasts this year is not as large as last time." A Yin said.

Zhuo Yan: "It's too cold. They can't survive. They're going to die."

"Father Senmo?"

"It's just that the weather outside is too bad. They can't survive. They're going to kill them. " We won't be able to survive if we break the door."

"It's

true." Zhuo Yan nodded.

This year the snowstorm lasted for forty days. After the wooden door was broken, no matter how much it was repaired, the temperature in the cave was not good. After the beast tide, life in the cave became even more difficult. At first, Zhuo Yan was afraid that the three of them would be bored, but he did not expect that the beast tide would make the cubs grow up. few.

Anyway, 'can endure hardship'.

Zhuo Yan actually doesn't want to, but in this world, if you see these dangers early, have a strong character, be brave, not afraid of hard work, and have some wisdom, you will live longer.

Fortunately, the snowstorm is finally over.

After the weather cleared up a little, Zhuo Yan went out with three cubs saying, "Daddy, we are sensible now."

Zhuo Lezhuo's eyes widened, "Really? Dad, can we go out now?" "We don't really want to play, Dad."

"..." The child's face was full of excitement, and he still Pretending to be sensible. Zhuo Yan's mouth was hard to suppress, but he didn't tease the children and rubbed their heads one by one. "Your father and I are going to go around the tribe and get to know the situation."

"Go get dressed, wrap up tightly, and let's go."

" Got it, Dad~"

The children ran very fast. Zhuo Lezhuo did not hesitate to dress himself, but also put a leather vest on his eldest brother. When they were fishing on the ice before, the two of them thought that their clothes were too clumsy to walk, but this time Zhuo Yan didn't need to say anything, the two of them were wrapped up tightly, even the eldest brother was covered up except for one pair of eyes.

Zhuo Yan: ...

Why are you so cute?

Carry it on and let's go!

The most seriously injured member of the tribe was Yu, because Yu was a cheetah and lived alone, and his brother and sister-in-law's caves were very close to his cave - if not for this, Yu might have died.

Rain is now in the hole of brother and sister-in-law.

Zhuo Yan brought half a ginseng over, but Yu was still having a fever and hadn't woken up. Yu's brother heard that Yu had been having fever intermittently since the beast wave -

the wound might be infected.

Zhuo Yan saw Yu's wound, which was already white on his head. He couldn't help but think of the moment when he picked up A Yin. "Clean the wound. I brought ginseng and boiled water and poured it into him."

"Clan leader . "Is this okay?"

"I'm not sure, but it won't be good if he keeps burning." Zhuo Yan didn't finish his words.

Yu's brother understood that if he continued like this, Yu would die, and he couldn't help but nodded.

"Boil clean water and let it cool down, then roast the bone knife on the fire."

Later, it was Zhuo Yan who came to clean the wound, but Yu had a fever and was unconscious, feeling pain, struggling violently, and even wanted to turn into an animal shape, but Ah The silver hand was almost pressed down.

Yu's brother felt very sad, "How about - the patriarch, take his life."

"?" Zhuo Yan looked at him.

"He...he was in too much pain. My brother kept saying why he was the only cheetah. He could only stay on the periphery when hunting. He was laughed at by everyone. No one would mate with him. Later, Aman got a mate -" Yu's The brother paused for a moment and looked at his partner, "I don't mean to blame Aman."

Sister Aman agreed, "I know, you are worried about the rain."

"He didn't even want me to ask him more about his winter preparations. How about it, he said, he would rather be a sub-orc."

After Zhuo Yan finished listening, he lowered his head and concentrated on cleaning Yu's wounds. A Yin pressed Yu's arms and limbs.

"When Ah Yin was a white-haired boy, he suffered more serious injuries than this. Half of his head was injured."

"My boss has not transformed until now."

"The sub-orcs have a lot of jobs, and the orcs can also do these jobs."

He said no more and began to clean the wounds.

Zhuo Le, who was on the ground, said at this time: "Just do whatever you can. The peacock uncles make beautiful and amazing clothes."

"The sub-orc uncles and aunts can farm, and there are a lot of delicious peanuts to eat." Zhuo Buhei answered. .

Zhuo Kang whined.

"Okay, the rest depends on whether Yu wants to live or not." Zhuo Yan told A Yin that they could let go. He got up first, "Don't cut too much ginseng, and boil water for him slowly."

Yu's The elder brother nodded, "I understand, clan leader."

Zhuo Yan carried the three cubs on A Yin's back and wanted to go to Uncle A He's place again.

Except for Yu, who was seriously injured, all other injuries in the tribe were more or less superficial injuries. Uncle Ahe's cave was intact and uninjured because their cave was close to the inside.

"I didn't dare to open the door after hearing the patriarch's advice. The door was blocked."

"The boss wanted to go out because those leopards couldn't hit our hole and went to other caves." Uncle Ahe was actually very embarrassed when he said this. "Chief, ah Is there anything going on in Kehuoxia Cave?"

"No," Zhuo Yan said.

Uncle Ahe breathed a sigh of relief. If these two families were injured, he would feel bad.

Zhuo Yan saw it and said at this time: "Your boss and second child are not yet adults. When they become adults, there will be a tide of beasts. We will fight again."

He was not trying to make the other party timid and sneaky, but because they were underage and weak, these two orcs He hadn't learned how to hunt yet. Those red-eyed leopards were crazy and very powerful. He was guarding the entrance of the cave, just like whack-a-mole. He could just show his head and shoot.

Moreover, Ah Yin stood in the front, and he was the second line of defense.

If you open the door, those red-eyed leopards will rush into the cave. They will be very difficult to deal with and will most likely be injured or even killed.

Zhuo Yan looked at the two young orcs, the second one was still childish.

"It's spring, go find uncle." Zhuo Yan looked at the boss with approval in his eyes, "I know you are not timid and scared. It's good that you were not impulsive this time. You protected your father and younger brother. Study hard next year. From now on, the safety of the tribe will be left to you young orcs."

The boss said excitedly, "Chief, I will protect the tribe."

"Well, I believe you."

Zhuo Yan walked out of the cave and led A Yin. When the cub went back, he couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Ahe's eldest son is very passionate and energetic, and so is his younger brother next to him."

Zhuo Le raised his head and said, "Dad, I am too." Zhuo Buhei is the same as me.

"Aww~"

Zhuo Yan touched the furry head of the boss in his arms and smiled. He came out of the rain cave and looked at Uncle Ahe's eldest son again. In two states of animal life, Uncle Ahe's two sons were both very motivated. Yes, Yu has always been a bit timid and inattentive in his impression. After A Man and Da En became partners, Yu became even more withdrawn and self-pitying, but no matter what, he still hoped that Yu could survive.

More than ten days later, the leader of the tribe found a team of orcs to go to Snow Deer Mountain. He carried his partner on his back and ran very fast. There were five pairs in total.

Yi Ming Er Huang and Dan came down and started to clear the snow from the woven roof.

"I'm going up. You guys are too strong and it's easy to step on the roof." Dahn said.

Yi Ming Er Huang was still unconvinced, "You are not small either.", "You won't step on it if you go up there?"

"I cleaned it last year, and there is also a roof. The patriarch said that the beams bear load, which will cover too much dirt. Snow, if you are not careful, it is easy for the tiles to fall down." Dan said, finding a position and jumping up from the side, "You guys, run away."

Yiming: "Brother, this guy is talking more and more. "He's a leopard."

"Haha, he and the leopard have become friends." Erhuang joked, "That sounds smarter, Dan, you didn't cry when you came here, did you?"

The three of them could have a playful friendship when they were young. You're welcome, Dan stood on the roof and heard it. He raked the snow with his claws and hit the two brothers specifically. Then he let out a tiger roar. He had stopped crying long ago.

Aman went to Shitou to help pack things, and after a while he moved to the weaving house. Hearing the roar of the tiger, he ran to the cave entrance to have a look, and then ran back happily, "Tou Shi, it's great that Zhuo Yan is the leader of the clan."

"Yeah." Shitou nodded.

Aman: "I'm talking about our relationship with the tiger people. In the past, to be honest, I thought our tribe was weak, but now it's different."

"I know, it's not just the tiger people. Look at it this year, the lions The human race probably has to stay and learn."

Aman thought, and it made sense, "What about the werewolf tribe?" "

The werewolf tribe has learned to burn transparent stones, and they can use things made of transparent stones to change clothes with the tiger men and lion men.

Aman nodded and looked at Shitou jokingly, "I understand." "Are you feeling sorry for Boss Kong? The Lion Tribe is close to the Yuren's ramie fields. They can make summer clothes, and the Tiger Tribe can make cotton-padded clothes for the Werewolf Tribe. " Transparent Stone will change clothes with us three tribes, and when the time comes, it will be enough for Boss Kong and the others to just be members of our tribe."

He finished speaking, although he was joking about Stone, but he thought it was good.

"Everyone has clothes to wear. It's great."

The house was tidied up and a few tiles were broken. Fortunately, there were spare ones piled in a corner of the house. Dahn tidied up the roof and patched up the tiles. The Tigers lit torches to smoke. Once the room was full, Erhuang opened the window and sighed: "This window is really good. The tiles are broken, but this transparent stone is still intact."

"And brother, look, this room is very bright. You said our tree house Can we install this window made of transparent stone?" Yiming asked.

Erhuang: "I don't know. Let's ask when we meet the leader of Zhuoyan next time."

"Okay."

They think the leader of the Leopard People is very smart and must have a solution!

After a few days, the snow gradually became lighter, and sometimes it would stop for a long time. Zhuo Yan and A Yin took the three of them to the weaving house to play with Tiger Blizzard. While the adults worked, the children huddled in a corner and whispered. Goo talks.

Anyway, we haven't seen each other all winter, and the few Zaizai talk together every day.

Not only the cubs were like this, but Zhuo Yan and Shitou Aman were also chirping every day, and they were in a much more beautiful mood. Zhuo Yan heard the tiger brother asked if transparent glass could be installed in the tree house, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, the windows of your tree house You can open it higher to prevent the beasts from rushing in, and the lighting will be better if it is higher."

"I will tell you how to install it. First, measure the size, choose a relatively flat tree roof, try to have no curvature, and start sawing. ———"

When Zhuo Yan said this, he thought about the thickness of the tree house. The tree house is more than 20 centimeters thick. Without a handy saw, bone knife, stone knife, or transparent stone knife, it is obviously difficult to cut the wall of the tree house.

As soon as he stopped, the two brothers looked at him. They didn't understand what Patriarch Zhuoyan said just now, but now they can see that Patriarch Zhuoyan frowned and knew that it wasn't easy, wasn't it?

"If I don't have a handy tool, it would be great if I had a hacksaw." It would be difficult to make steel without even asking for a hacksaw. I would be thankful to find iron ore.

Wooden hinges, including hinges made of transparent stone, are ultimately not as good as iron ones.

"Clan leader, isn't it difficult to make?"

Zhuo Yan said, "It's a bit troublesome." He still told the two brothers how to make windows, cut the treehouse wall, make grooves, nail the window frames, and just insert the transparent stone.

After listening to this, the two of them felt that it would be better not to use glass. Although the tree house was darker, it would not have any impact since the clan members slept outside except during the snow season.

"..." OK. Zhuo Yan nodded, "Do one thing at a time."

The sky has become clearer, and the tribe members have been going out from the cave frequently. There is good news. The rain has brought down the fever, and I heard that they can now eat. The rest of the tribe is still the same as last year. Everyone is playing on the ice. A few little guys haven't seen wind chimes for a long time and are competing on the ice to see who can push whom.

"Kangbao, I'll pull you." Blizzard said.

"Ouch~" Zhuo Kang jumped on the leather with all four limbs like a puppy. Blizzard said that Kangbao was sitting firmly. Zhuo Kang lay on the leather and let out a whimper. Blizzard knew that Kangbao was sitting firmly and pulled him. The skin ran away, and Zhuo Kang's hair flew up on the ice.

After playing for a while, Zhuo Kang put his nose against Blizzard and asked Blizzard to sit on it.

"Can you pull it?" Blizzard was afraid that Kangbao would be tired.

Zhuo Kang let out a cry and shook Zhuo Le Zhuo Buhei. The two siblings blushed from playing and said, "Brother Blizzard, sit down, my eldest brother and I will pull you together." "Yes!"

After not seeing each other for a winter, the relationship between the three of them has become even better.

It got dark in the afternoon, and snowflakes started to fall again. The adults took the children back to the cave. Tiger sat on his father's back and asked: "Dad, can you give me another younger brother and sister like Buhei and Lele?" "

Aman: ...

that is definitely impossible.

Shitou and Kong Xingxing also heard it. Later, Kong Xingxing looked at Blizzard with an earnest look, "Don't you want younger brothers and sisters?"

"Kangbao is my brother, as well as Lele, Buhei, Tiger, and Fengling." Blizzard explain.

Kong Xingxing: ...Okay. I originally wanted to find an excuse because it was almost spring and I could go on more dates with the big guy, but I still had so many ramie silks that I didn't have time to date at all.

The next day, Boss Kong turned into a stern dean, and he tightened his grip on the three tiger men's studies. Aunt Carol was really learning on the loom in her dreams.

Time flies, the ice and snow melt, the sound of water flowing in the river can be heard, and the ground becomes muddy. Zhuo Le learns to ride Dafu to go out. Zhuo is not black, it is his destiny. The siblings take turns hugging their eldest brother.

Zhuo Yan: ...

He originally wanted to take some time off from his busy schedule to have a 'date' with Ah Yin, but as a result -

"Brother Zhuo Yan, are you there? I can finally go out!" Xiao Xian's voice, a series of beeps: " Ever since my second brother got married, I couldn't go out to play. My father didn't back me up and told me to find a partner and move out as soon as possible. I knew that if he wanted to date my mother, he must think I was in a cave. It's so annoying. "

Good, everyone has learned the word 'date'.

Zhuo Yan had no interest in being a matchmaker before, but today he unexpectedly came up with the idea of ​​being a matchmaker for Xiao Xian. He went out to show up and heard that Xiao Xian had been holding back all winter and was now in a state of 'talkativeness'.

The two hugged each other at the entrance of the cave and soon let go. Instead of going to sit in the cave, they just stood outside blowing the cold wind and basking in the weak midday sun. Zhuo Yan heard what Xiao Xian said about winter, which was no different from previous snow seasons, such as what to eat and how to store food, how his father and mother were so loving that he almost forgot to move food into the big hole, and the tide of beasts.

"Xiao Xian, how old are you?" After Zhuo Yan asked, he looked at Xiao Xian's face. He had seen her every day before, but now after a winter, he suddenly found that Xiao Xian had grown longer, her skin was whiter, and she had almond-shaped eyes. The lines of the mandible are smooth, making him look delicate and handsome.

"I remember you are two years younger than me."

He was sixteen or seventeen years old in this world, and Xiaoxian was around fourteen or fifteen. This was his sixth year, so: "You are twenty, twenty One year old."

Xiao Xian snorted, "Brother Zhuo Yan, why are you like my father?"

"Aren't you curious about dating?

Xiao Xian moved his face away, and after just a few seconds, two furry ears were revealed.

Zhuo Yan: ... couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 104

The snow water penetrated deep into the soil, and it was time to plow the land and make pottery. There were also some transparent stone utensils. Zhuo Yan held the first clan meeting and briefly talked about the injuries suffered by the tribe when the beasts attacked during the snow season. There were no deaths. After that, the focus was on the life after the soil thawed.

Everyone is used to it.

Qiao was still in charge of making pottery, and the transparent stone utensils were also used to make the pottery. Since there were not many stones, the first five orcs brought some back.

"...focus on burning agricultural tools, hoes, hoes, and sickles."

"The planting area this year is the same as last year. There is another thing. The bamboos that Qiao Aman, Xiao Xian Shitou and I planted in the thin tree forest four years ago have grown. , probably when the pottery is finished, the fields are planted, the weather becomes warmer, and there are bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest that can be dug up and eaten..."

"Last year, the sub-orcs discovered it, and there will be more of them this year, and the tribesmen who like it can dig up and eat them. , don't forget."

As for bamboo products, I'll teach you them after I'm done with this. This is not urgent.

The five tiger men stood at the edge, also listening to the leopard men's 'meeting'. Chief Zhuoyan arranged the work, but they hadn't understood it yet. When they turned around, they saw that the leopard men were all nodding. The meeting was over soon, and the burning would begin tomorrow. pottery.

"Let's adjourn the meeting."

The leopard men nodded and discussed how to pack away the rattan baskets and tools. Aunt Carol asked another sub-orc, "Do you all understand?"

"Of course, it's like this every year. Let's do it."

"You have Qiao to make pottery. In fact, we are all very good at it."

"Do you want to learn? You can come together."

Aunt Carol was very interested, but she had her own tasks, so she shook her head. , "We are going to learn weaving. I have started weaving recently, but I am still a little unskilled. Sometimes the thread gets stuck, and I have to ask Boss Kong to teach me."

"You are really awesome. Have you already learned how to weave?"

"Just a little bit, you can do it. "It 's very slow."

"That's awesome!"

Everyone chatted while walking, and they went back to the cave in pairs to make preparations. The tiger men walked together and headed to the river. Aoun said: "The life of the leopard men is very different from that of our tribe."

"Yes." Abby nodded, with some envy on her face.

They couldn't describe the two lifestyles, but they instinctively envied the life of the sub-orcs of the Leopard People. They could make pottery, farm, and grow vegetables. Even if they couldn't hunt, they wouldn't go hungry.

Really good.

Just like in previous years, the tribe, like everything on the mainland, is full of vitality and gradually recovering. The leopard people don't like to stay in the cave for too long, and they always go to the river with food on their backs. When the work is done, the sub-orc people still like to stay by the river and chat.

Or the orc carries his mate on his back to the bamboo forest to find bamboo shoots.

There are many more children in the tribe this year. The furry ones who were born in the rainy season last year have all turned into human figures in the snow season. The seven or eight-year-old children are too old for dogs. They are full of energy and are happy to play with anything. They play with each other every day. A bunch of children were running and playing, shouting to come quickly.

Laughing loudly.

With such a lively and energetic scene, the people in the tribe are actually happy in their hearts.

Because the tribe has not been so lively for a long time, and there are many children, as if seeing a small sapling growing bigger and leafier, the Leopard People will become more and more numerous, and by then the mountain will no longer be able to live in it.

"What should we do?" Some sub-orcs were already worried.

Another person laughed and said: "We will die too, we should be able to live in it."

For orcs and sub-orcs, death is not a scary thing.

"You're right." The sub-orc nodded, thought of something, and said, "But it seems that no one in our tribe has died in two years."

In fact, two old men died in the big cave in the spring of last year, but they were not orcs who died in hunting, not The sub-orcs who died when the beast tide attacked were not cubs that starved to death. It had been a long time since there had been such a death. The sub-orcs were a little surprised when they mentioned it.

Because I'm really not used to it.

In the past, people were dying every year.

"It seems that fewer people have died since we ate salt."

"With salt, there is more food, and the patriarch taught us how to grow potatoes."

...

Everyone was chatting miscellaneously, and they were very happy, forgetting the beginning. That question: As the number of tribesmen increases, what will happen if the tribe cannot accommodate them anymore?

Zhuo Le, the leader of the children, went to the back mountain to play with his friends and the ten humanoid cubs in the clan this year. Dayun and Ayong, two half-grown orcs, watched and played with them.

At first Dayun and Ayong, especially Ayong, wanted to learn hunting skills, but this boy was only fifteen years old and was too young. Uncle Ayin said: You and Dayun can watch the cubs of the tribe now. They have not differentiated twice and are still very weak and need you.

Then Ah Yong worked very hard as a 'child care'.

After Zhuo Yan heard everything, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Ah Yin, this set of words——" It sounds familiar.

"Hey, I learned it from my brother!" Ah Yin was happy.

There are naughty, lively and active types, and naturally there are also quiet and inactive types. Although Zhuo Kang can exercise a little bit since he was born, he doesn't really like to play, so Kang Kang still spends most of his time in the weaving house and the blizzard. together.

However, Blizzard will also carry Kangbao out for activities, because the patriarch's uncle said that more exercise and running will be good for Kangbao's health.

"Kang Bao, you are older than before." Blizzard said carefully after reading it carefully. He thinks exercise is a good thing.

Zhuo Kang: ...Okay, let's play it every other day.

The crops in the field began to sprout, and there were also some weeds. The sub-orcs had nothing to do, so they went down to pick them up. The crops in the field grew neatly and vigorously, and the children in the tribe also grew taller like the crops.

The five children, Blizzard, Wind Chime, Tiger, Zhuo Le, and Zhuo Buhei, seem to grow up when the wind blows. When the weather is hot, Zhuo Yan finds out the summer pants and bellybands that Lele wore last year, and suddenly finds that his girl is jumping up and down. A big chunk.

Because several other people have grown taller, Lelebuhei and his friends run together every day, and they really don't notice.

Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment while holding the summer pants. Last year, they were still elementary school students, but this year they seemed to be junior high school students - they were still junior high school students who were well-nourished and grew up quickly.

"No wonder you don't like to wear this."

Zhuo Le has been wearing a leather skirt and a small waistcoat since spring. He runs around barefoot and wears straw sandals if he goes hiking. Zhuo Yan now looked at his daughter carefully and frowned.

"What's wrong with Dad? Don't be unhappy because I'm wearing summer pants."

Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "Dad is not unhappy. Really, you two siblings have grown up, especially you Lele, you are a big girl now. "I have to make a new bed for you this year."

"Huh?" Zhuo Le didn't expect to make a new bed for her. "Isn't that bad?"

Zhuo Buhe looked at his father.

Zhuo Yan: ...He changed the phrase "Zhuo Buhei sleeps on the current wooden bed" in another way and said: "You are all grown up and can't sleep on it anymore. Make a new bed for Lele. Buhei sleeps on a big wooden bed." I'll put up a curtain for you to change your clothes."

"Curtain?"

"The bamboo is now ready, so we can make bamboo curtains." Zhuo Yan thought to himself, it was just right.

Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei were very curious about things they had never seen before, and they pestered their father to ask how to do it. Zhuo Yan gave a brief explanation, and the two said they would do it themselves.

"Okay, then you choose your own bamboo, chop it down, bring it back and I'll teach you how to weave bamboo curtains." Zhuo Yan was enjoying his leisure time, exercising their hands-on skills.

This is not a problem for the two of them - for Zhuo Le, it's just a matter of fun. It happened to be boring to climb mountains every day a few days ago, so they can go chop bamboo!

Zhuo Le ran out and called Tiger Wind Chime to ask if the two of them were willing to chop bamboo tomorrow. Zhuo Buhei ran behind: "Sister, wait for me, I'll go too!"

Zhuo Yan looked at the two disappearing in the blink of an eye. Looking at the sun outside again, "It's getting hot, it's time to ask Boss Kong Xiabu about his progress." Mainly because he was bored alone, and Kangkang was at Blizzard's place, so he went there too.

In the open-air factory in front of the textile house, sheets of linen have been washed and are being dried.

When Zhuo Yan passed by, where was Yi Ming Er Huang touching the air? Abby, on the other hand, buried her head in the wet grass cloth and stretched out her hands to smooth it out, not daring to raise her head.

Aunt Carol and Orn were starching the newly woven cloth. Each of them held one end of the linen cloth and stood on both sides of the river. They yelled and squatted together. The strips of cloth in their hands fell into the river and were washed away by the current. Swing for a few seconds, stand up again, shake the cloth, and repeat the above actions.

Whether the linen is soft or not depends on this step.

Carol and Ornn are already very skilled at it.

"Clan leader!"

Zhuo Yan nodded, feeling a little strange. The tiger-man brothers seemed to be 'fishing for fish' but not like - "What's wrong with you?"

The two brothers scratched their heads, "They are quarreling inside."

Abby He put his head out and explained in a low voice: "It's not a quarrel. Chief, please be more careful and bring some grass."

Zhuo Yan:?

He hadn't been to the weaving house for half a month. It was full. The two wooden beds against the wall were all made of linen clothes. Kong Xingxing and his tribe were taking stock of the goods. The peacock had its own way of counting - counting. Grass knot.

There was a handful of knotted grass on the ground, and Kong Yuan and Kong Lu were quarreling.

One said, "I just said thirty-seven," and the other said, "Why did I hear it was thirty-eight? How many are there?" Kong

Xingxing had a big head, "You can count again."

"Are you going to tie the knot again?" Kong Huo didn't want to do it anymore. He had tied the knot several times.

Kong Yu was very skilled and resigned to his fate: "I'm going to grab the grass." This action has been repeated three times.

"..." Blocking Kong Yu's path, Zhuo Yan said, "Are you counting the goods? Let me help you."

Maybe there were not enough ramie garments before, and five people could tie the knots and count them, so he went directly to Shan Shan, the previous patriarch, to hand over the goods. This year - Zhuo Yan looked at the neatly piled summer clothes and linens. This year has been really hard for the peacock family. They worked in early winter after last year's harvest, for six or seven days, and they started working before the snow season ended.

The weather is getting hot, the harvest will be ready in a month, and the market is about to open.

And there are three more tiger helpers.

It can be seen that the shipment volume is very large.

Kong Xingxing's head was swollen at this time. When he heard this, he quickly let go and asked Zhuo Yan to come, "Chief, the goods are here. The cloth is not finished yet. Our needles are all broken and cannot be used. We should have enough clothes. You divide them first." "Okay."

"Clan leader, I'd better grab some grass." They had been counting so many goods for a long time, but before they could count them clearly, they were all confused.

Zhuo Yan: "No need. Let me see where the goods are."

Kong Xingxing pointed to the piled goods, and Kong Huo said: "Here are the tops, and there are the bottoms. According to what you said, chief, except for the two pairs of bottoms, It's the same length as before, but the rest is much shorter, only reaching the knees."

This is what Zhuo Yan said.

There are still two holes in the first batch, and the length of the previously distributed pants is all ankle-length. To be fair, the two pants are the same length as the first batch. The tribe members have been wearing them for more than a year and feel that long pants are a bit restrictive. Zhuo Yan also thinks that mid-length pants are good. If you are taller, you can wear large shorts. If you are shorter, they can be just above the knee. You can wear them for a few more years.

So these large batches of goods were changed.

"Yeah." Zhuo Yan started to count. The peacocks had already folded the clothes, but they were piled high and were now swaying. He counted again, placing ten pieces one by one, and then stacked them neatly, with five arranged vertically on the bed.

...

Kong Yue is most afraid of counting things. He has been unable to remember grass knots since he was a child, especially when his brother and Kong Huo were about to quarrel. They also asked him how many grass knots he just had. Kong Yue was stunned - he Didn't remember it at all!

Seeing that Xiaoyue was about to cry, Shitou quickly took Xiaoyue back to the mountain to cook.

Blizzard followed behind with Kang Bao in his arms.

"Brother Shitou, do you think my brother and the others have been counted?" Xiaoyue finished cooking and was still worried about going down to deliver the food. "Should we bring some grass?"

Shitou: "Then I'll go grab the grass. Don't be afraid. "No, I'm full. I'm counting the afternoons."

"Dad, Kang Bao and I are going to find some grass." Blizzard said.

Shitou touched his son's head and said, "Let's eat first."

Several people carried rice and barrels down the mountain to the textile house. They saw the tiger man lying outside the window, Aunt Carol and Abby standing at the door. Ornn watched from another window.

Shitou walked over and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Chief Zhuo Yan is so smart. He was counting the goods and singing the tune." Carol said with a look of disbelief on her face.

Stone:?

Aoun said: "I also taught Boss Kong to count and the tune."

In the room, Zhuo Yan was not teaching, but Kong Huo and the others were too curious and asked him what he was humming just now, "Multiplication table formula, you Look here, there are ten tops in a stack, five standing upright, that's fifty, and there are five vertically stacked tops on this bed, fifty five twenty-five, that's two hundred and fifty."

Kong Xingxing frowned deeply . Staring deeply at the vertical row of clothes, what are there five, five and twenty-five? Why are there two hundred and fifty items again?

"There are still seven scattered pieces, two hundred and five plus seven, two hundred and fifty-seven tops."

"Count the pants as well as the tops..."

Zhuo Yan said it for the second time, and Boss Kong frowned bitterly. , he felt that Kong Xingxing was going to have trouble with the multiplication table. Kong Xingxing was a bit stubborn, "It would be too embarrassing to learn this." Zhuo Yan: ...

Last year I promised Asu to teach counting, but this year it seems that there is no time to delay.

Zhuo Yan's throat was a little dry, but he was very excited, because this year there were 257 tops and 271 pairs of trousers, excluding the two trousers, two tops, and two small suspenders that were owed in the first batch. Already done.

So this year's goods: 255 for tops and 269 for bottoms. The four strips of linen cloth that have been knitted cannot be sewn since there are no needles.

Everyone in the whole clan can be assigned two sets of clothes, and there are still some leftovers - either placed in the big cave as collective supplies, or as goods for sale in the market.

Zhuo Yan was very happy. Now he looked at Kong Xingxing and the four of them, smiling kindly and peacefully. "Boss Kong, you four, don't worry. If you want to learn counting and the multiplication table I mentioned, I can teach you tomorrow."

"Clan leader, we Can I learn too?" Carol asked standing at the door.

"Okay."

Zhuo Yan doesn't refuse anyone who comes.

Kong Xingxing frowned. He looked a little tired because he had been busy in the past, but it did not detract from his beauty, and added a bit of a down-and-out nobleman--but it made Shitou feel very distressed.

"With your intelligence, you will learn it soon. I just have some tips. Everyone knows that I have been to the Tree of Life and know this. It's not that you are not smart, you just don't know how." Zhuo Yan said this sincerely.

The five peacocks are all smart and dexterous. As soon as he taught and explained, the five people understood how to operate the loom and how to make clothes. He just gestured, but the curvature of the clothes made by the five people this time was still quite good. There are versions that are better looking and more comfortable than the first ones.

Zhuo Yan came from time travel and was educated, while everyone in the Peacock tribe, including his tribe, was uneducated. Living on this continent, they relied on instinct and experience accumulated with their lives to survive.

It is admirable.

When Kong Xingxing heard this, he nodded lightly and said politely that I would go to study tomorrow. In fact, secretly, I think: I must learn it, but it can't be too embarrassing!

The other four people nodded and went too.

Kong Xingxing looked at the door, "Xiaoyue, you go too."

Kong Yue: Ah... okay then.

Hope it's not too difficult.

Kong Xingxing: If he didn't learn it the first time, and Xiaoyue was still holding the tail, and Xiaoyue was the worst at counting, he shouldn't be too embarrassed.

"I'll go too." Shitou said.

Kong Xingxing stopped frowning and thought happily: Big guy really loves me.

In the evening of that day, clang bang bang sounded, and another meeting was about to take place. The leopard men shouted to each other and headed to the square. They had only shared the meat two days ago, and they definitely weren't sharing the meat today.

"It seems that the linen is ready."

"Really?"

"I saw the patriarch went to the textile house today. There was a lot of linen hanging in front of the textile house. We can finally give out clothes."

"I still have a sling! Let's go quickly . Come on!"

When everyone arrived at the square, they saw a wooden bed filled with clothes made of linen.

The tiger man called two yellows and came here directly carrying the wooden bed.

When Zhuo Yan saw that all the tribesmen had arrived, he didn't waste any time and said directly: "There are a lot of clothes made of summer cloth this year. I will give them to the two caves I owe first. Each cave will have a set of summer clothes and a suspender."

The sub-orcs in the two caves . , orcs are very happy.

Zhuo Yan settled the 'arrears' in front of everyone, "Then we will distribute the clothes. Two hundred and fifty-five for the tops, two hundred and sixty-nine for the bottoms. There are eighty-four members of our tribe. Five tiger people are studying in our tribe." Weaver, there are so many clothes this time, and five people have contributed, so the summer clothes are given to five people, including

the eighty-four tribesmen, including Peacock Six and Da En.

"There are eighty-nine people in total. Each member of the clan wears two tops and two pairs of trousers, so there are seventy-seven tops and ninety-one trousers left. Half of the remaining clothes are used as market items, and the other half are placed in the big hole... ..."

Leopard people: confused.

The tiger man didn't understand but admired it very much. Chief Zhuo Yan was really smart.

Kong Xingxing: He must learn the multiplication table tomorrow!

As for the remaining four pieces of linen, Zhuo Yan did not include them in the collective goods of the Leopard People, leaving it to the Kong Xingxing family to do some tricks. Anyway, now each leopard man wears two sets of clothes, that's enough.

"Okay, come and distribute the clothes and line up." Zhuo Yan said.

Uncle Ah Yin stood next to the wooden bed and began to distribute clothes. Everyone could get two pieces of upper body and two pieces of pants. The queue was long, but the distribution was quick and everyone was smiling.

The five tiger men stood at the end. When it was their turn, they were actually a little embarrassed. Carol said she could just give them a set.

As the clan leader, Zhuo Yan looked serious and said, "Take it."

"Okay." Carol felt that the clan leader Zhuo Yan was so majestic that he didn't dare to say anything else and hurriedly took the summer clothes.

After handing out the clothes, Zhuo Yan said: "Before the crops mature in the fields, everyone can clean up the weeds in the market and the rest area of ​​the three tribes, and prepare goods for the market. Just like last year, you can form your own team, and you don't need to use the things you exchanged." "Hand in."

"One more thing. I will teach you how to count under the trees by the river tomorrow. If you want to learn, you can come."

There is no need to go get the salt mud early this year - the three tribes said last year that there is no need to exchange white salt. , each tribe can get it by themselves. There is still salt for the leopard men to eat. Just wait until the market is over. The leopard men and orcs can go to Mammoth with the other three tribes of orcs to get salt mud and dry it directly when they come back.

The order has been adjusted, and there is a lot of "combination of work and rest". Some time ago, I was busy working in a hurry, but now I can be busy with things in my own cave. The tribe has entered the state of four shifts again.

The meeting is over!

When everyone returned to their caves, their voices were loud and excited, and they exchanged how much grease they had saved and how much soap they had made. Xiao Xian found Qiao and asked if they would burn wind chimes this year, but there were no transparent stones.

Zhuo Yan's ears twitched and he interrupted the topic seriously, "Actually, Ah Yin and I can go to Snow Deer Mountain."

"Chief, don't you want to teach counting?" Qiao said.

Zhuo Yan: ...Damn it!

He was tripped.

Xiao Xian smiled beside him with a "I understand" look on his face, "Brother Zhuo Yan wants to go on a date with Ah Yin."

As soon as Zhuo Yan raised his hand, Xiao Xian ran around and ran aside. He was not the same person before, "Catch me." You can't reach the clan leader!"

"Your furry ears are exposed." Zhuo Yan deliberately deceived Xiao Xian.

Sure enough, Xiao Xian touched his ears and found that he was amused. He chuckled and said, "No."

"If any of you go to Snow Deer Mountain to look for stones, I also want to burn some checkers." Zhuo Yan said the serious topic, the spring batch. Stone has burned all the tools. As the patriarch, he can't secretly burn chess pieces for his children to play with.

That's okay now.

Xiao Xianqiao was very curious when he heard it, what is checkers. Zhuo Yan talked for a while, and after the two of them understood, Qiao said, "Then Ada and I will go there. As for the wind chime..."

"We will take turns taking care of it." Zhuo Yan said. Anyway, his family can only support him if he drives him away.

That's it.

But in the end, it was not him who took care of the children, but Aoun of the Khajiit tribe. This was something Zhuo Yan did not expect.

After the weaving is over, the Peacock clan is idle, and so are the Khajiit clan. They have to wait for the market to open, and then return to the tribe with their clansmen, so there is work now, but not too much -

making looms and spinning machines.

Yi Ming Er Huang goes to cut down the tree, and the wood is carbonized first.

The Tiger Man, Carol Orn, and Abby had nothing to do. The three of them were wearing summer clothes and had a new set put away. They were very embarrassed and felt that the Leopard Man was too kind to them, so the three of them put the textile The house is tidy and everyone is busy working.

In the early morning of this morning, the sun was still very soft, and everyone in the tribe was awake, either sleeping in, patrolling, or busy with their own affairs.

Ah Yin wanted to make a wooden bed for Zhuo Le, so he went to chop down trees with Da En and the tiger brothers. Zhuo Yan was teaching today and even grabbed three cubs to accompany him.

"You have chopped some bamboo and made the bamboo curtains slowly. Let's learn to count first, so you are not afraid. The bamboo curtains are made one by one. When the time comes, you will count your fingers. If you don't have enough, you will have to ask all the cubs in the tribe. Are you borrowing your fingers?" Zhuo Yan looked at his daughter and said deliberately: "Think about it, is that scene funny?"

Zhuo Le thought about it, it was very funny.

"If you count again incorrectly -"

"Dad, I will learn from you!" Zhuo Le said hurriedly, feeling even more embarrassed.

Zhuo Buhei scratched his head, then he should learn from it too.

Very good, there are still many people in the course. Zhuo Yan arrived at the river. In addition to the six peacocks, Stone Blizzard, and three tiger men, some sub-orcs from the tribe came to join in the fun, including children.

Zhuo Le, the "eldest sister" of the children, came to study, and they also came to listen.

"Okay, find a seat and sit down, let's get started." Zhuo Yan also brought a tool in his hand - the small bamboo strips that his daughter chopped off bamboo a few days ago. He temporarily processed them last night, and now they are a bamboo stick.

It's rather rough because I didn't have time to polish it.

That's enough for teaching.

Zhuo Yan never expected that this rough bamboo stick for teaching would later be used in arithmetic by his 'students' who would polish the bamboo stick with their bare hands until it was smooth and smooth.

Because mathematics is too difficult!

Everyone brought their own leather cushions - because they wore summer pants, they cherished them very much. In the past, everyone sat anywhere, but today they all brought cushions and sat on them.

Zhuo Yan: He also brought a heehee, but it was just a straw mat.

On the first day, we will teach the number 123. We will learn three numbers, with corresponding wooden sticks placed on each number.

"Clan leader, why are there two numbers?"

"How many are these."

"See for yourself."

Zhuo Yan: Just memorize it by rote. He didn't study it.

"Remember, everyone takes a wooden stick to practice on the ground."

Kong Xingxing, an active student, asked: "When can we learn the multiplication table you mentioned."

"When everyone is proficient in writing from one to ten and what numbers they correspond to How many bamboo sticks are there? I will check them tomorrow. Once I get really good at it, I can memorize them. "Actually, there is also addition and subtraction.

First, hang the pie for Kong Xingxing.

The learning atmosphere in the class must be led by outstanding students.

They only studied for half a day every day and then went back to practice. Kong Xingxing worked the hardest - secretly pulling the big guy to learn while hiding from others. Kong Huo and the others knew better, but they didn't expose it. They asked each other questions.

As the numbers increased, there were fewer people under the tree in the morning. The ten humanoid cubs born in the rainy season couldn't sit still and ran out to play early. In fact, Zhuo Lezhuo doesn't want to learn anymore, but every time Zhuo Le wants to give up, the thought of his father asking him to borrow his friends' fingers and counting them wrong -

it's really embarrassing!

So Zhuo Le sat down again.

The other friends can only accompany him because Zhuo Le doesn't want to play and it's boring for them. But Feng Ling doesn't like counting. He likes to fight, climb trees, climb mountains and climb bamboos.

Qiao and Ada are out, and Feng Ling is staying at Zhuo Yan's house recently - Feng Ling and Bu Hei sleep in the same bed, and Lele has a new bed.

Carol and Abby from the Khajiit tribe didn't come to listen. They didn't understand. However, they could cook some mung bean soup and make some peanuts. They also peeled the shells and put them in bamboo tubes and brought them here. Ornn was still learning. , take advantage of the rest time to share some food with the cubs.

The cub likes the tiger aunt and uncle very much.

For example, Zhuo Yan was not here during the break and practice time - he found that with him here, students who were not good at studying would be nervous during practice and would be more likely to make mistakes in memory and writing.

"Wind Chime, you wrote this wrong." Aoun looked at the 'homework' in front of Feng Chime and said, "You mixed up three and six, three less, six more, three sticks here, six there."

"Aoun Uncle, where is mine? Can you check it for me?" Zhuo Le felt that he had written it correctly, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Zhuo Buhei leaned over and said, "Sister, let me help you read it!" "

You remembered it wrong yesterday."

"Then I will definitely remember it correctly today."

"Okay."

"Uncle Aoun, mine, mine." Tiger raised his hand.

Kong Xingxing, the top student, came to the big guy and said, "Kiss me and I'll help you with your homework."

Shitou: ...He stopped studying a long time ago, but now -

kiss Xingxing, Xingxing is so amazing, he studies so well .

Chapter 105

Feng Chime recently went to stay at Tiger's house, but he didn't stay for one night. The three cubs Feng Chime, Blizzard, and Tiger went to the weaving house to sleep again, with the tiger men Ornn and Carol watching.

There are two wooden beds in the weaving house. The Peacock clan is on "vacation" recently, so the weaving house is empty. Feng Ling first stayed with the clan leader's uncle for two days, and then Zhuo Buhei came to his father and said that Feng Ling no longer wanted to live in his house.

Zhuo Yan was confused at that time and asked why?

"Dad, the wind chime count is not good. He said that he was very scared when he saw the patriarch uncle." Zhuo Buhei said with a bitter face, "Dad, if you weren't my father, I would be scared too."

Zhuo Yan: ...then I thank you. You got it.

The wind chime outside the cave entrance was quite brave. He ran in and asked the clan leader if he could sleep in another house. "...Uncle clan leader, I have always dreamed that I miscounted the numbers."

Poor.

Zhuo Yan: ...

"Then let me ask Aman, is it okay for you to stay at Tiger's house?"

Feng Ling was happy, okay.

Zhuo Yan turned his head and saw his third son standing next to him with an envious face that said, "I also want to go play at Tiger's house." He clenched his fists. When he was young, he was so cute as a cub that he couldn't hit him. Now he is eight or nine years old. You can always beat the naughty boy if you find it inappropriate, right? !

However, Zhuo Buhei was very discerning. He ran very fast with the wind chime, shouting as he ran: "Dad, I will send the wind chime over -"

By the evening of that day, Zhuo Buhei did not come back, including Zhuo Le and his two siblings. We all had dinner at Tiger's house. Zhuo Yan asked Ah Yin to send Feng Chime's clothes, soap, and dental equipment. Ah Yin came back and said that the two siblings were still playing at Dan Aman's place, so there was no need to worry.

Zhuo Yan sighed.

"Brother, are you worried that they are not here?" Ah Yin didn't understand.

The boss is with Blizzard.

Zhuo Yan: "I was worried that I didn't grab Zhuo Buhei and give him a spanking in the afternoon, and let him run away."

Ah Yin laughed, and his brother joked again.

"You can't bear to spank your child."

Zhuo Yan grinded his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's eat." When children grow up, they like other people's homes.

As a result, the next day, Zhuo Yan heard from his daughter that the wind chimes were going to sleep in the weaving house.

"???"

Zhuo Le said: "Feng Chie got up in the middle of the night and saw Uncle Dan and Uncle Aman kissing. What's so good about dad's mouth? Why don't you and my father kiss?"

"Who said we didn't? We kissed." A Yin said proudly.

Zhuo Yan: ...Is this the time for competition!

Ahem.

"Wind Chime is a kid, who else is there?"

"Aunt Carol and Uncle Orn are here, and Tiger and Blizzard are also going to live there. It's a big place over there. Dad, can I go and sleep? I want to go too. Sleep."

Zhuo Buhei raised his hand, "Dad, sister, I'm going too!"

Zhuo Yan:...

"It's okay, I'll send you there." After finishing speaking, A Yin looked at his brother. Can kids go? "

Why do you look so excited that you can go, Ah Yin, what are your plans? Zhuo Yan actually knew that. He thought for a moment and said to the two children: "You go and ask Uncle Xing Shitou first if you can borrow it. If there are not enough beds, your father can move the wooden bed made by our family... ..."

In short, the first night in the weaving house was filled with wind chimes and blizzards, Tiger slept on a wooden bed, and Carole slept on a straw mat on the floor. However, the children just joined in the fun, especially these few who were close and had no adult restrictions. They can spend time together, play games at night, and Aunt Carol and Orn also provide snacks for the little ones - it makes them happy just thinking about it.

Who wants to stay in their own cave?

Tiger can send it over, which shows that the adults have the same idea - Dahn and Aman are really 'like a stick'.

I was too busy in the spring, and with the children in the cave, it was inconvenient to do anything. Now I finally have some free time. Of course, I want to send the little ones out for a few days for an 'outing', so that the adults can have their own private lives. .

Ah Yin had this idea.

The next day, early in the morning, Ah Yin carried Zhuo Le's wooden bed to the weaving house. The two little girls Tiger and Zhuo Le slept in one bed, Feng Ling Zhuo Bu Hei slept in the same bed, and Baixue slept with Zhuo Kang in his arms. Another bed.

Zhuo Yan also passed by - as soon as he passed by, the boys from Feng Ling were particularly upright. Zhuo Yan: ...he was like a teaching director.

"Aunt Carol, just say whatever you and Aoun need."

"There's nothing you need, Patriarch, we have everything here. Don't worry, the child will be fine if you leave it to us. Yi Ming Er Huang will patrol at night." "

Zhuo Yan nodded and looked at his three cubs, who looked like they couldn't wait to say goodbye to their father. Zhuo Yan could only say goodbye. As soon as he and A Yin walked out of the door, they heard the happy sounds of having fun inside. Zhuo Yan was so little 's sigh.

"Brother, I will carry you out to play." Ah Yin ran to the river, took off her leather skirt and gave it to her brother to hold, and turned into an orc.

Before Zhuo Yan could react, he got on A Yin's back with the leather in his hand. Ah Yin ran along the river, with water splashing on his legs. He slowly climbed up from the ramie field and ran out of the tribe. The wind blew his hair, which made him feel much cooler and freer.

All of a sudden, the 'sullenness' in his heart disappeared.

"The three of us at home like to play with friends and want to live outside. I'm really not used to it." Zhuo Yan sat on A Yin's back. "They used to be so clingy to me when they were cubs."

A Yin said: "They are still very I love my brother."

"I know."

"Actually, brother, we have been too busy recently." After finishing speaking, Ah Yin shouted to hurry up and started running faster, even jumping on purpose.

Zhuo Yan couldn't think of anything at all, only the stimulation of 'ahhhhhhhhhhhh'. He hugged Ah Yin's neck tightly and leaned against Ah Yin. When the speed slowed down, he sat up and saw the endless grassland. The scenery, blue sky, white clouds, and red clouds in the distance.

very beautiful.

He has indeed been too idle recently.

So on this day, there were no cubs. Zhuo Yan and A Yin were walking outside and met a group of horned cattle. The two sides faced off for a few seconds at a distance of more than ten meters, and then the group of horned cattle left first.

Ah Yin also left with his brother on his back.

In the evening, under the setting sun, they lay on the green grass and went to the river to take a bath. They hugged each other and kissed naturally. Anyway, it was in the water, so it was very convenient to wash again.

Hey hey hey hey, so happy.

As night fell, Zhuo Yan and A Yin returned to the tribe. There were still laughter from the cubs in the weaving house. Zhuo Yan also had a smile on his face. It was good that everyone was happy.

Da Ming also started to go into heat more than half a month ago. The father and son ran away and did not come back until recently. They were covered in mud and had scratches on their heads or bodies. They also lost a lot of weight and had a lot to eat when they came back!

Zhuo Yan cooked a lot of pig food, and the father and son ate it. After finishing the meal, they went back to the cave to sleep.

Looking at this situation, you know that if you don't find a wife, you might as well be his father. Let's continue next year.

The two tooth pigs became lazy again and followed Zhuo Le Zhuo Bu Hei around to play.

Soon the weather got hotter, and it was the harvest season, and the crops in the fields began to be harvested. The ramie field was not patched much this spring, only the old ones grew out, and the results were still abundant, but this year there were five more tigers, so they were harvested much faster.

The children worked together, some picked peanuts and mung beans in the fields, and some helped run errands, pick up tools, and deliver water. In short, when they had finished harvesting, the tribesmen said: "The lion man didn't come this year?"

"Last year he came early. After waiting for a few days, he must have come late this year."

Sure enough, after the leopard man finished harvesting the fields, The lion people didn't come, but the tiger people arrived first. The two brothers Yi Ming and Er Huang were so happy that they went out to pick up the clan leader and his clan members. The Khajiit clan brought a lot of dry goods this time, as well as Trinian orc cubs, all brought to play with.

As soon as they met, the tiger men, women, and children, including Hawa, all widened their eyes and looked at what the two brothers were wearing, "What did you get in exchange for it?"

"Is this a linen cloth?"

"It's made of linen cloth."

Orcs, Ya The orcs were all talking about how the two brothers got clothes made of grass cloth. Look at these shorts and look at this upper body. Sang Long had already started to pinch them. "How did you get these clothes?"

The two brothers have been in human form recently . When he was working, he heard the clan members coming and ran over first. Of course he was wearing ramie clothes. At this time, his face was a little proud. Erhuang said: "The clan leader Zhuoyan gave it to us. My grandmother, Ao En, Abby Yes."

Yiming added: "Two sets, four pieces."

"!" Sang Long had already broken the guard, "I would have come if I had known."

"Haha

.

People in the tribe: "Four pieces? Each of you has four pieces of clothes?", "This is great!", "The clothes are so cool. I changed to a suspender belt last year and it's very cool now."

Hawa There was also a bit of relief on his serious face.

It seems that their people are living a good life here.

"There was a tide of beasts during the snow season last year. Fortunately, Chief Zhuoyan told us in advance. By the way, what about our tribe?"

"As usual, there was also a tide of beasts. The chief took us out and killed them all."

"Kaning was injured . , there are some sub-orcs, but no one died."

Yiming Erhuang nodded in relief, "That's good."

"Where's your grandma?" Hawa asked.

"We are drying the ramie silk. Boss Kong said that after the ramie silk is dried and it is easy to store, you can go back with us. We need to teach you how to twist the cotton thread. Grandma and Ao En Aibi are not very skilled yet." Yiming faced him. The clan leader's question immediately became more serious.

Erhuang said hurriedly: "Chief, do we have a single orc in our team? He has to carry the peacocks."

"Some," Hawa said happily.

The orcs in the tiger tribe said: "Has Yiming become smarter?" There are a lot of them, I've remembered them all."

"That's because we made too much ramie silk. We did it last year, and we're doing it again this year. You guys do it every day, so you'll know."

"But Yiming and I still do it . No, we know how to do the work before collecting and drying the hemp."

Hawa couldn't help but nodded as he listened to the two brothers. It seemed that he had really learned something.

"Go and settle down first. I'll find the leader of the Leopard People to thank him."

Zhuo Yan saw Hawa, who gave him a half-vine basket of ginseng as thick as a child's arm. Zhuo Yan: ...

This is too warm and polite.

"Take it, I saw them wearing ramie clothes, and the leopard men are also very good to the tiger men." Hawa said with a smile.

Zhuo Yan accepted it.

The tiger people arrived at noon, and in the evening when it was getting dark, the lion tribe also arrived, and the next day the werewolf tribe also arrived. This time, based on last year's experience, the three tribes brought a lot of food and fun goods, except for the skins used to get the salt mud. , almost no one uses skins in exchange for goods.

The Leopard Man harvest is also done.

So Zhuo Yan said, take a night's rest and open the market tomorrow - not to mention the three tribes who are looking forward to it, their tribe is also looking forward to it. When they were working a few days ago, they said, 'Why hasn't anyone come this year?'

After the tiger people arrived, Kong Xingxing gave Carol, En, Abby and the others a holiday and said, "I don't need you to dry the ramie silk. I haven't seen your tribe for a long time. You can go and play.

" After Ye Qian paid off the debt he promised to the Leopard Man to "make clothes for every Leopard Man", Kong Xingxing and the Peacock Clan obviously "disposed" this year's batch of ramie harvest and calmed down.

It's not that I won't do it anymore, but I'm just going to do it slowly, there's no need to rush.

Carol and the others also missed their tribesmen very much and were not polite when they heard this. The three of them ran to the tiger man rest area. Along the way, they met lion men and their tribesmen. Everyone saw that they were wearing ramie clothes, so they pulled them and talked. After the conversation, we finally arrived at the clan rest area.

"! Auntie!"

"Abby!"

"Orn!"

The tiger people were very enthusiastic. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. On the one hand, they were also curious about the lives of the three of them in the leopard people - although they also heard some from Yiming Erhuang. , but the two orcs didn't tell the whole story. The three of them, especially Aunt Carol, were very excited and could not finish talking.

After arriving, the leopard men looked for a place to dig a cave for them.

"Aoun can also make doors, and we can also make a wooden door for our tree house."

Aoun was originally relatively marginalized among the Khajiit tribe. Since the death of his children and partner, Aoun has a relatively cold personality and does not like to get in crowds of people, so The orcs in Clan have become less and less important here, and now, everyone's eyes are focused on Ornn.

"I, I learned it from Patriarch Zhuoyan. If you want to start a business, I will teach you when you go back.

" "Great!", "I'll learn it!", "I'll learn it too."

The youngest Abby has always been shy. Jing Jing, and now she is surrounded by her tribe, she can weave and sew clothes, "But it requires Yuren's needles. Later we sewed a lot of clothes and the needles were no longer useful, so we stopped sewing."

"What should I do? ?"

Carol said, "Boss Kong said that the Lion Tribe will bring the needle tree here this year."

Everyone was relieved.

The most asked questions are how the Leopard People live here, how is the food, how beautiful are your clothes, are they really given to you without any need to exchange them, have you learned how to weave, etc.

They were also chatting in the lion rest area.

"I just met the tiger people Aunt Carol and the others. The clothes they wear are made of linen. I heard that they came to the leopard people last fall and stayed there until now."

"I heard about it too. They learn to weave."

"Even if the tiger people learn it, there will be no ramie."

"If the tiger people can learn it, can we lion people learn it?" Although Xia Shu was asking a question, her eyes were already bright. She shook the arm of her friend beside her and said excitedly: "You guys Don't forget, the Yuren Clan's ramie field is all ramie, so we don't need to plant it at all, and it's only three to five days away from us, so the orcs can carry it back."

The orcs:! ! !

Yes, why didn't they think of that?

The leader of the lion tribe in the distance also thought of it. He could go to the leader of Zhuo Yan and ask if he could teach his people to weave. Moreover, Zhuo Yan said last year that he would come to their tribe after the market, and he wanted to confirm. .

I hope Chief Zhuoyan can visit their tribe.

Zhuo Yan is very busy, not from working, but from receiving guests. Fortunately, everyone here speaks very directly, without the smoothness of modern communication and the eighteen turns of the mountain road.

First, there was the enthusiastic gift from the leader of the tiger tribe, and then several outgoing sub-orcs from the werewolf tribe came to ask why the tiger tribe learned to weave. Zhuo Yan: ... amused.

"You can ask the tiger tribe, I believe their tribe will tell you."

The werewolf tribe was a little embarrassed, "We are just curious, can their tribe also grow ramie?"

Zhuo Yan believed that this was not a lie to him, it was true. of curiosity.

"There is a plant in their tribe that can be made into clothes. There is no need to plant it."

The werewolves suddenly realized and ran to ask the tiger man. Before Zhuo Yan could rest for a while, the leader of the Lion Tribe came to him, and he knew the purpose of his visit.

"You can come and learn. It just so happens that the tiger tribe is leaving after the market. They have learned and the cave over there is empty." Zhuo Yan said.

The leader of the Lion Clan was very happy.

"However, the tiger people stay here to study, and they have to pay for it." Zhuo Yan told the tiger people and leopard people about the deal. He couldn't be so kind as to provide food, accommodation and free teaching. The tiger people paid in advance. Cotton coats and quilts' quantity.

The leader of the Lion Clan nodded, and his smile slowly solidified, "Yes, can we exchange ramie summer clothes?"

"We are not short of summer clothes anymore," Zhuo Yan said.

The leader of the lion-man tribe was depressed. He also saw that now everyone in the leopard-men tribe was wearing summer clothes. I heard that there was still some linen that had not been finished. Now they had harvested ramie. The leopard men had no shortage of this.

"But-"

The lion-man clan leader looked at the leopard-man clan leader fiercely and expectantly.

"Perhaps we can exchange for something else. I have never been to the Lion Clan. After this fair, I will go to the Lion Clan with my tribe. Then our two tribes can have a talk. The Lion Clan people will come to our tribe to learn weaving. Skills, what should be paid for." Zhuo Yan said.

The leader of the lion people was a little worried, "What if our clan has nothing? There is nothing to exchange."

"..." Zhuo Yan looked at the leader of the lion people. This leader was already very old, with a weathered and sad look on his face. He was afraid of losing everything, so he would exchange everything . No, Zhuo Yan couldn't help but said bluntly: "The tiger people have made an exchange, and the conditions are very sincere. We can't teach the lion people for free. This is unfair to the tiger people. However, our four tribes have a deep friendship. I will go." The lion people will always find goods that can be exchanged. "

Jian Cha said: Even if it is dried fruits, skins, and plant needles, the difference is enough to make up for the tuition. It is impossible not to let the lion people come to learn, but we can't. Give him nothing and let the tiger man in front think what he thinks.

If the worst is possible, then get some more linen and get a tuition gift package. Although the items are not rare, there are many varieties.

Another point is that Zhuo Yan has not agreed yet, but wants to visit the Lion Tribe first, so that he can have a choice in paying the tuition fees of the Lion Tribe. The worst is the mixed gift package he just mentioned.

The leader of the Lion Tribe frowned and thought deeply about Zhuo Yan's words. It took him a long time to understand what Zhuo Yan meant. He was touched but also a little embarrassed and guilty - he finally heard Zhuo Yan's help and commitment to the Lion Tribe.

Zhuo Yan:? ? ? Wasn't what he just said straightforward enough?

Forget it, just understand.

Anyway, the Lion Clan leader's eyes were red and he left with great gratitude. Zhuo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. This night, tomorrow is the market. Then Zhuo Le shouted down the slope: "Dad, dad, dad, uncle the werewolf patriarch is here."

Zhuo Yan: ...

The werewolf patriarch smiled when he saw Zhuo Yan. Laughing, "I'm sorry for disturbing you just now."

"No, just chatting, everyone is a guest." Zhuo Yan and the werewolf clan leader were chatting outside the cave entrance, as was the lion man clan leader just now. Everyone said what they wanted. , and soon we started talking about it.

Sure enough, the leader of the werewolf clan gave a straight answer.

The tiger tribe has cotton-padded clothes - this is what Hawa said personally. There is velvet grass on their mountain. Zhuo Yan said that it can be made into cotton-padded clothes. Then when the werewolf tribe leader came, he met the lion tribe leader and heard that the lion tribe could also do it. Come learn to weave.

As a result, the werewolf leader became seriously anxious!

"...I, can our tribe also come to learn?"

Zhuo Yan heard the fear, anxiety and fear of the werewolf tribe leader in the words of the werewolf tribe leader. It seems that everyone is ascending and making a lot of money, but we, the werewolf tribe, are left behind. what to do.

"Clan leader, please sit down first." Zhuo Yan asked the werewolf tribe leader to sit down and chat, to appease the other party's mood, "Actually, our tribe has grass cloth, and there are some more. In the future, the lion tribe will also have it, and the tiger tribe will have cotton cloth. At least next year, there will be some at the market. There will definitely be enough clothes for the three tribes to exchange for the werewolves.

"I don't think the werewolves need to attach too much importance to weaving and growing ramie."

After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, the werewolf clan leader said . He is not as scared and worried as when he came just now. It seems that it is indeed——

Zhuo Yan gave him another dose of tranquillizer, "The werewolf tribe wants to learn. If you pay the tuition, the leopard tribe will definitely teach you. There are also ramie seeds that can be exchanged."

So the werewolf tribe What was the patriarch worried about just now? Totally unnecessary.

Werewolf Patriarch: Yes.

"At this year's market, I saw werewolves bringing a lot of transparent stone burning utensils," Zhuo Yan said.

The leader of the werewolf clan was now calm and relaxed. He nodded, still a little embarrassed, "I learned it all from you, and I brought some transparent stones."

"The tiger and lion people have a long way to go. In the future, the two tribes will have more clothes. "After knowing how to burn and use it, the two tribes will definitely be happy to exchange transparent stones."

"Besides, our Xiabu is also very rich this year. If you are willing, I can help you ask Boss Kong if you are willing." This year I will give you some more transparent utensils for the werewolf clan."

The werewolf clan leader's eyes were filled with smiles and expectations.

After seeing off the werewolf leader, we can finally rest and wait for the market to open tomorrow. Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei looked at their father with admiration, "Dad is so awesome.", "Dad just said a lot."

Zhuo Yan touched his head with one hand, and they were all covered in sweat!

"Where did you two go to play after taking a bath?"

"We went to the river to play. There were so many children, Dad." Zhuo Le said.

Zhuo Buhei gestured, "There is a little lion who likes my eldest brother and chases after my eldest brother. He can't even swim!"

Zhuo Yan:? ! "Is Buhei telling the truth?"

"Really, I took them to take a bath. In the river, the little lion bumped his head against Kangkang. Kangkang was stunned for a moment, and the two started to fight and play. "A Yin said to her brother: "The little lion is a little girl, only three months old, but she really likes Kangkang and wanted to go home with us just now."

Zhuo Yan:! His eyes lit up.

If he had known earlier, he would have taken three of them to take a bath. He had not even seen the three-month-old lion cub, which must have been very cute.

Ah Yin: He knows that his brother likes furries.

And Kangbao, who was liked by the little lion, would lazily flick his tail and drive away the younger brothers and sisters who came up to him, because these two, one, were saying, little lion, ride him!

He wasn't being ridden, he ran away. He was not a three-month-old cub and would not bully a cub.

Mature and stable Kangbao.

At night, three wolves were fighting in the cave, but Zhuo Yan and A Yin didn't pay attention. They packed up the pots and dishes and went to the river to wash up. When they came back, Zhuo Buhei was doing "wolf licking" - they

just pissed off their elder brother. Angry, he would lie on the bedside and point his butt at his big brother. Zhuo Yan didn't even notice, thinking that if you had a big, fluffy tail, the effect might be better.

Now that the human butt is pointed at your brother, it's okay if I don't beat you up!

"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that you couldn't beat that little lion. You are the most powerful."

"Brother, don't be angry~"

"Brother, please come and scratch my ass!"

Zhuo Le sat down. He laughed on his bed and said, "You deserve it, you just touched my brother's butt."

"You touched me too!" Zhuo Buhei complained.

Zhuo Kang looked over with his blue eyes.

Zhuo Le laughed: ...

In the end, both siblings apologized, because they didn't just touch the eldest brother's butt, but also pinched it. Zhuo Le even touched the eldest brother's balls. Zhuo Kang thought it was not bad. Damn it, the three of us were playing together just now, it was so confusing.

"Dad said that my eldest brother is very hairy and easy to touch, so I just want to try it."

"It's really nice to touch and very soft."

"My eldest brother's butt still has a lot of flesh, it's so meaty, and his hair is very fluffy just after taking a shower. "

Zhuo Yan: ...Why does the blame fall on him? If you two 'apologise' like this, your eldest brother will be furious - it's quite cute."

"Okay, okay, my brother and sister didn't mean it." Zhuo Yan came out to smooth things over, and smoothly followed Kangbao's head to his tail. It was indeed clean and easy to touch!

Ah Yin winked at her brother, Kangkang, look at you. Zhuo Yan: Ahem. Serious.

"You have to respect your brother. He doesn't like it, so we have to be careful."

"I know, Dad.", "Brother, I was wrong. I won't touch your round butt anymore. It seems like it's not your butt, but your balls -"

Zhuo Yan:? ? ? ! ! !

It is urgent to teach some physiological lessons to children.

Zhuo Yan gave Zhuo Le Zhuo Buhei a good science education this night about the differences between sub-orcs and men and women. Although the distinction between men and women in the orc world is not that important, he still talked about it in his home.

"Although your eldest brother has not turned into a human form, you are the same as your eldest brother. No one can touch the private parts of your body except yourself -" "

Isn't it allowed even for dad?"

"You take a bath by yourself." A Yin After saying that, he added: "Rub it yourself, I taught you how."

"What about my friend?" Zhuo Le's eyes were bright.

Zhuo Yan: ...cough cough.

"If you want, you can."

Let's get back to the topic and don't talk about other topics!

"Look, eldest brother doesn't want you to touch his balls and butt, so don't do it again."

Zhuo Buhei said, "But Blizzard brother hugged eldest brother, and he was not unhappy."

"Then it must be that Blizzard brother didn't touch eldest brother. "My balls." Zhuo Le said righteously, and then nodded obediently, "Dad, I have learned, I will not touch my big brother in the future."

Fuzzy Zhuokang circled his body with his tail, he... he should sleep.

Chapter 106

Birds are chirping in the early morning, and when the first ray of sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, the cubs in the three rest areas have already woken up, sitting on the mats, waiting for the sunlight to hit their eyelids, and excitedly push around The adults shouted: "Mom, it's daybreak."

"Father, it's daybreak. You can go to the market."

"The market is about to open."

The adults who were woken up were not angry either. They had brought their cubs with them. I went out to the Leopard People just to have fun. I didn't come to the market last time. I heard the cubs from the tribe came back and said they were so envious. This year I finally went to the Leopard People. Everywhere was new and curious.

The adults sat up and rubbed the cub's head, "Are you awake?"

"I woke up after I fell asleep." The humanoid cub said, rubbing its eyes, fearing that its mother would be angry.

The adults only laughed, not angry, "When you get tired from playing for a while, you can come back and sleep."

"Okay! I'm not tired." He opened his eyes wide and showed it to grandma.

The conversation between the three tribes in the rest area was almost like this. The sub-orcs took the cubs to the river to clean, while some of the sub-orcs prepared their own goods. Some brought their own goods, and the clan leader prepared the goods of the whole clan.

After packing up, the cubs couldn't wait to go over.

"I heard a noise over there!"

"The market must be open."

"Auntie, I'll go take a look first."

The adult smiled and didn't care. Even if the cub ran too fast and fell, it didn't matter. , run, run, go play. The adults followed with half of the goods on their backs. This time they brought a lot of things, and everyone had experience. They changed them first, and then picked up the rest of the goods after changing.

This year, the siblings Zhuo Le Zhuo Bu Hei didn't wait for their father and father. They asked their father if they could go and play by themselves. They made an appointment with Tiger Wind Chime Blizzard. They also talked about which family took what and which family gave them what.

Zhuo Yan: ...just leave him alone.

"Okay, daddy will prepare some for you too."

Zhuo Yan prepared a half-rattan basket of 'goods' for San Zai. The family's soap, salt-baked peanuts, mung bean cakes, and two transparent stone spoons were almost there.

"Which one of you two is carrying it? This is the cargo for you three. If you change it, give it to yourselves."

Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei rushed to carry it, and as they stared at each other, their voices became louder and louder. Zhuo Yan said calmly: "Exchange it." Hey, whoever goes to carry it will carry it back, or Lele will carry it down the slope first, instead of carrying it to the market in black, you brother and sister will have a relay race. The

winner will carry it first.

Zhuo Kang was waiting at the entrance of the cave. When he heard the sound of Blizzard, he howled and ran down to find Blizzard.

Children of this age like to play with friends of the same age and don't like to join in the fun with their families - Zhuo Yan: "I don't really like to join in the fun with the three of them!"

A Yin looked unbelieving, and his brother was tough, but he coaxed Brother, hmm hmm.

Zhuo Yan: ...

"Brother Zhuo Yan - Qiao and I will go there first. Remember to come later." Xiao Xian's voice rang down the slope, hurriedly and excitedly: "Remember to come and see us!"

"I know. " It's—" Zhuo Yan shouted loudly.

This year Xiao Xian and Qiao are still working together to burn transparent stones, but mysteriously, Zhuo Yan feels that Xiao Xian should have launched a new product, so he will tell A Yin: "Let's go too, go later, and wait for them to put it on first."

"I've packed up my brother." Ah Yin has already put away the goods for exchange.

They also have ramie clothes. He is an orc and often changes shape. It is more convenient to wear a leather skirt. He can exchange a set of ramie clothes for him.

There are many orcs who think like Ah Yin, so every household brings a set, at least one piece of clothing, to the market to see if they can change into something else.

When Zhuo Yan and A Yin passed by, there were people in front of every stall. The children's mouths were full of food, including peanuts, berries, and dried fruits. They were chewing and chewing deliciously. This one was delicious too.

The stalls of the Leopard People sell food, such as mung bean soup and fried potatoes - this year they have bamboo tubes, which is very convenient, and the exchange of food is also to exchange food. Almost all the three tribes with cubs will exchange some food, coaxing cub.

"The potatoes made by the leopard man are delicious! They are spicy."

"These are the red spicy fruits of the werewolf. We can exchange some at the werewolf's place."

"It's so spicy, so spicy." Some children don't like it because their mouths are spicy and swollen. Eat this. The adults gave them bamboo tubes and said, "Take one and go to the river to wash it yourself. Don't waste it."

The humanoid cub went with the bamboo tube, but while he was sucking it and saying it was spicy, he couldn't help but pinch it and eat it again. When he arrived at the river, he ate all the potatoes left in the bamboo tube. His mouth was red and swollen because of the spicy food, and he couldn't help but lick it.

It seems...it tastes good once you get used to it.

So he held the diabolo tube and begged his grandma to give him some more, "Let's get some more red and spicy fruits, grandma!"

Grandma: ...

your mouth is swollen! But forget it, it won't kill the cub anyway, so if it doesn't die, it can eat anything.

Everyone also likes Khajiit's dried walnuts, after all, the skin is thin and the filling is large - not to mention the strength of the orcs' hands, even a three-month-old cub can crack open the walnuts with one paw, and the pulp inside is delicious.

"It's fragrant and salty, Dad, you can eat it."

"How the Tiger Man makes it so delicious."

Of course the Tiger Man's salt-fried walnuts were learned from Zhuo Yan. Last year, Carol ate the salt-baked peanuts made by Zhuo Yan and thought it was very delicious, so she wanted to think about the dried fruits of her tribe. She specifically asked Zhuo Yan if she could make them this way. After that, she went to the Leopard Tribe to learn weaving. , but leave the skills and methods to your partners and let them do the work. They must bring them this year.

It was indeed very popular.

Various 'tea' from the Lion Tribe.

Zhuo Yan:! ! !

This was such an unexpected surprise that he was stunned. The sub-orcs of the lion-man tribe are still introducing, this one makes your throat cool and comfortable after drinking it, this one is fragrant after drinking it, of course it is fragrant, because it is scented tea.

Zhuo Yan exchanged mung bean cakes and a small transparent spoon for some tea, but he felt that it was not enough.

Ah Yin "magnanimously" exchanged it for ramie clothes, which made the lions happy, so Zhuo Yan got a bamboo tube of fire tea and scented tea. , you can drink it for a year.

The peacock tribe is the busiest, wearing suspenders, shorts, and necklaces. Zhuo Yan saw that the people setting up the stalls were Kong Yue and asked, "Where's your brother?"

"My brother found it troublesome, so he put me in charge this year." Kong Yue said.

Zhuo Yan knew that Kong Xingxing had been tired for so long and probably didn't want to do any more needlework, and Xiaoyue must have worked overtime to do this.

"Brothers Kong Huo and the others will help me make it together." Kong Yuezheng was talking, and Kong Lu brought Ma Ha over to replenish the goods - Ma Ha carried the goods in a rattan basket on his back.

Kongyue is the most popular and lively place.

Two orcs from the lion tribe came carrying a basket of plant needles. Their faces were a little swollen and their skin was covered in red spots. If you look closely, the blood spots had solidified and formed scabs.

"...We originally came here carrying a tree on our backs, but when we ran a few steps, these dense needles pricked our fur, and many of them fell on us, so we had to put them in rattan baskets."

"Thank you for your hard work." Kong Yue said.

When Kong Huo saw the cane basket full of branches, his scalp went numb, and he said to Maha: "Kong Xingxing can't find an excuse not to make clothes."

Maha laughed, and he heard Kong Huo making fun of Kong. Xingxing, but if he said that, Kong Huo would definitely be angry, so he just stood there and laughed, "Shall I take this away for you and put it in the weaving house?"

"Let's go together in the afternoon, you just came here to rest for a while." Kong Lu explain.

Maha is even happier. The peacocks protect the short-hole star, and now they regard him as a partner and will protect him. It's great.

Because of the large basket of branches, Kong Huo also discussed with Kong Yue and decided to give the two orcs another piece of ramie - because there were too many needles!

"You guys went to Yuren Mountain, how's it going there?" Kong Huo asked seemingly casually.

Kong Yue's ears perked up. After all, he had grown up there, and he really wanted to ask Kong Xi how he was. Kong Xi was his friend, two years older than him, already married, and had two cubs.

His brother said that the eagle was ugly, and Kong Xi's cubs were also ugly.

But he thought it was quite cute.

The Eagle Man became very powerful when he grew up, and he flew so high - Kong Yue was a little lost in thought, wondering when she would see her former tribe mates.

The lion-man orc said: "Haha, the Yumen Market is closed, so we went around on purpose."

"When we went to pull out the tree, we met the golden-headed tribe. They avoided us and thought we were here for revenge. Just like the Tiger Man killing the Eagle Man. "

We couldn't find the tree, so we stopped them and asked them who they were."

The two orcs were talking a little messily, but the peacocks listened carefully, because It's been a long time since we've seen each other – I used to dislike this and that, but now that I'm out, I miss it a little bit.

"Later they found out that we only uprooted trees and wouldn't hurt anyone, so they became bolder."

Kong Huo said, "They are all cowards."

The orc nodded, and another person said, "No one lives in your Peacock Mountain anymore. "

We all ran out, of course there was no one left," Kong Lu said.

The orc nodded, "Yes, the Golden Heads are timid, but when we were carrying the tree and were about to leave, the Golden Heads stopped us and asked us how we knew this tree, and we mentioned peacocks. They "Are you still alive?"

"Of course we are alive," Kong Huo said.

"We said that you are in the Leopard Tribe."

It was because of this topic that the Golden Head Tribe started talking. "They talked too much. They even asked us Orc Tribe that we haven't come to the market for several years, and asked us, 'Are we afraid? Do you want to eat salt?"

"We just said that we won't eat the salt on Yuren's back anyway."

"They said that Yuren's market was closed, and no one came when it opened. Yingren and Diaoren were very angry, and Diaoren complained. The eagle man offended the orcs, and now they have no leather for the winter, and the two tribes had a fight.

"

" Let's go."

While the orcs were chatting, Kong Huo poured out the needle . He entered their cane basket, handed the empty cane basket over, looked at the injuries on the faces and bodies of the two orcs, broke off a thin branch, and said, "Boil this and wipe it with water and it will be fine. "

It's okay. The red dot has already healed."

Kong Huo put it back.

After the lion-man orcs left, Kong Huo and Kong Lu packed up the basket of needles and vines. Maha asked nervously: "Do you miss Peacock Mountain? Will you go back?"

"I do," Kong Huo said.

Kong Lu nodded, and then said: "But I won't go back!"

"I won't go back!"

The two said in unison. Not to mention the two of them, even Kong Yue didn't want to go back. The days in the Leopard People - how to put it, it was a bit uncomfortable at first and had to do a lot of work, but I don't know why it was very easy.

Everyone felt happy.

In the past, at the top of Yuren Mountain, Kong Huo would be scolded loudly when he mentioned it. The other four tribes clearly coveted their beautiful peacocks and wanted to woo them, but they had to criticize and belittle them.

"My saliva is almost dripping from my eyes, and I'm saying that I'm too lazy to eat and it's useless to be pretty." Kong Lu told Ma Ha, getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, with a thin blush appearing on his face.

Maha looked at it and thought it was pretty, and nodded in agreement. The peacock is so beautiful, even when it is angry. "It's beautiful and useful."

"..." Kong Lu glanced at Maha, this fool can't lie, " You have better eyesight than those four tribes."

"Hehe. You are very good-looking."

Kong Huo also thought of the past days when he heard about Yurenshan from the lion man, and his nostalgia disappeared completely. , only Huoda is left.

The peacocks are arrogant, and they are even more intolerable than the physical burden of working. The four feathered tribes devalue and suppress them mentally, and they also long for them. Just those longing eyes make the peacocks uncomfortable and disgusted.

...

Zhuo Yan went to Xiao Xian and Qiao's place and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the things on their desks. This was because Qiao and Xiao Xian had made necklaces, wind chimes, and bracelets this year, and they were not only light green transparent stones. People actually developed purple-red colors, and there were petals in the bracelets, and some were green.

They look really beautiful, each one unique.

"It's beautiful." Zhuo Yan said.

Xiao Xianke was excited, "Brother Zhuo Yan, you said the color of the burned chess pieces, we just thought of it, and wouldn't it look good with the petals inside?"

"Yes." Zhuo Yan nodded, it was indeed very beautiful, but he didn't look at the stall here. There are many orcs who love beauty, and everyone is choosing.

He previously studied transparent stones for the purpose of making glass. Of course, they must be wear-resistant and strong. Jewelry does not need to be too strong. Beauty is the first priority, but with the addition of color and petals, it will not be too brittle.

In addition to the regular bracelets and necklaces, there are also those that are fired into sheets and strung together with leather. Zhuo Yan saw one. Qiao and Xiao Xian didn't know how to make it. The stone was very rich and beautiful in green and brown. The two ends of the leather rope were strung together. Zhuo Yan touched it, and Ah Yin asked what he could exchange for it.

Qiao and Xiaoxian laughed so happily, and Zhuo Yan liked it, which meant that what they did was very successful. In the end, A Yin and Zhuo Yan exchanged a bag of peanuts for the bracelet.

Zhuo Yan was also very happy.

Ah Yin tied it up for him.

Zhuo Yan shook his arm, and Ah Yin tied it to his big arm, but this made it easier to work and would not get the bracelet wet.

He felt that his thinking was sometimes too 'conventional'. For example, he used to think that the peacocks would sell necklaces and jewelry at the market, but now the peacocks are very tired, except Xiaoyue who wants to change to something else to eat and do some handicrafts. Others don't want to think about it.

For example, Qiao and Xiao Xian, from last year's wind chimes to this year's inspiration from checkers, have come up with so many beautiful jewelry.

Therefore, being too tired limits your creation. Zhuo Yan was thinking that when he was working as a social worker, he didn't like to use his brain. Later, when he recovered from illness and returned to the village to work as a small blogger, he was very happy in whatever he did.

"There will definitely be something new at the Peacock Stall next year." Zhuo Yan concluded that now that the family has enough linen, Kong Xingxing and the others will not work so diligently.

When Xiao Xian and Qiao heard this, they both said, "Then let's think of something else next year." "Yes!"

"Okay, I believe you." Zhuo Yan cheered them up.

Anyway, these are entertainment hobbies. Orcs and sub-orcs have very few entertainment activities. They work all day long. Now they just relax when selling things - they don't want to make money. There is no such concept. The two of them exchanged bracelets and jewelry. After eating, the sub-orc man who left in exchange praised the jewelry and wind chimes for their beauty, making the two of them smile even happier.

This year the market lasted for two and a half days, because the three tribes brought a lot of goods this time, and every time they exchanged things, it was an exchange - a collision of information and chatter among the four tribes, so it took a longer time.

On the third day, there was a 'dining party', where everyone ate and drank with the food they had bought. In the afternoon, they cleaned up the market together and waited to see each other next year.

The tiger-man and werewolf left first to get the salt mud. The tiger-man would come back later to pick up Carol, Oen, Abby, and Kong Huo, Kong Lu, and Kong Yue from the Peacock tribe.

Kong Xingxing, Kong Yuan and Kong Yu did not go, but stayed. Kong Xingxing asked Shitou, and Shitou said that the tiger man could carry you if you wanted to go. Kong Xingxing asked if you wanted to go. Shitou thought seriously and shook his head. He was actually average.

"Then I won't go. Anyway, the three of them can assemble looms and twist cotton threads. They don't need me. Once they leave, there will be nothing to do. Let's go on a date, big guy!" Kong Xingxing has already made plans. His eyes were bright, "There are some beautiful flowers blooming behind our cave. Let's go there to play."

Shitou was also happy and nodded.

He likes Xingxing to plant flowers. Xingxing was too busy before, but now he can finally go see flowers and plants. How nice it is.

At the same time, Maha, Teng Tiao, and Amu from the clan also went to the Tiger Clan - carrying the Peacock three people. They might have to stay in the Tiger Clan for a while to teach, and then carry the three people back.

The lions will stay for a day, Zhuo Yan has to finish explaining the affairs of the clan, and then set off with the lions.

The Leopard People held a meeting as usual to manage hunting matters within the clan. Daya and Assen were responsible for getting the salt mud, and Joe Aman was responsible for drying the salt. You can keep an eye on some of the scattered living bushes of the sub-orcs in the tribe...

When they left, the tribe was drying the salt, and then it was the rainy season, and they were planted after the rainy season.

It had been several years, and the tribesmen had experience in what to do, so Zhuo Yan was relieved.

This time, he and Ah Yin took three cubs to the Lion Tribe, Dashan Asu and his wife, Ake, Ah Meng and their partners, and single Ah Hui. Xiao Xian also wanted to go, and after some hesitation, he found Ah Hui and asked Ah Hui if he could take him with him.

Ah Hui's eyes lit up and he was very excited. Xiao Xian said, "You just carry me on your back, not as a partner."

"...That's okay." Ah Hui said.

Xiao Xian was happy.

Later, Ah Hui asked Xiao Xian why he didn't want to be his partner. Xiao Xian thought about it seriously, then looked into Ah Hui's eyes and said, "You don't like me, Ah Hui. I've never felt that you like me." "

A Hui scratched his hair, "What is it? Is it so important? We can play together."

"You prefer to play with the orcs." Xiao Xian pouted.

Ah Hui nodded and laughed, "Then you know me quite well."

Two days later, Zhuo Yan set off with his tribe and the lion tribe. The leopard tribe, especially the sub-orc cubs, wore straw hats on their heads tied with ropes. On the road, carrying a straw mat and rattan basket, I already have experience going out. The weather is very hot at this time, but not that hot - in more than ten days, it will be a hot summer, a good time to bask in the salt.

After the lions finished fetching the salt mud, they actually headed towards the lion tribe's territory. Along the way, they passed rivers, streams, and lakes. Zhuo Yan had a serious face and told the three cubs to drink water, "Don't be afraid to pee." "Drink more."

"Dad, my belly is bulging." Zhuo Le stood up straight and showed it to his father.

Zhuo Yan took a look and saw that it was indeed as round as a small watermelon. He couldn't help but laugh, "Just forget it if you can't drink it." He looked at Zhuo Buhei, and Zhuo Buhei quickly pushed his belly out for his father to check.

"..." He died laughing.

Zhuo Yan's eyes fell on the boss. Zhuo Kang was lying obediently by the river drinking water. He looked quite big, but compared with the lion next to him, he was almost the same. The little lion girl next to me is only three or four months old.

The little lion was very lively. He drank a few sips of water and tried to squeeze Zhuo Kang, but Zhuo Kang slowly moved away. The little lion's mother told the little lion not to disturb Kangkang's drinking water, and you can drink yours.

"Ouch~" The little lion was acting coquettishly, probably saying no, because the little lion went to cling to Zhuo Kang again.

Zhuo Yan: He didn't even know what to say.

Kangkang is quite likable.

Zhuo Le Zhuo Buhei said that he wanted to help his eldest brother, but Zhuo Yan held his head down and said, "Your eldest brother knows what to do. If you two don't want to drink water, go downstream and wash your faces. We will leave in a while."

"I know, Dad." The two ran to play in the water.

While Zhuo Kang was drinking water, the lively little lion jumped into the river. Zhuo Kang looked at it and ran upstream to continue drinking water. The little lion followed and splashed water on Kangkang. Kangkang jumped into the river this time. , the two cubs started fighting.

Perhaps Zhuo Yan had been watching, but the mother of the little lion next to her comforted her: It's okay, they are playing. After a while, he still told the little lion, "Don't hit brother Kangkang." Her daughter was really the strongest cub in the clan.

The water was splashing in the river. Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei stood downstream to cheer for their elder brother. However, after a few words, the little lion was carried to the river by Zhuo Kang. The little lion's fur was wet and a little wilted. It was obviously not beaten. Pass Zhuokang.

The mother of the little lion was shocked, "You haven't beaten her before? Haha." She told the leader of the Zhuoyan tribe, "She is very naughty and strong. In the past, she used to fight with cubs every day in the tribe, but no one could beat her.

Zhuo Yan was also a little surprised, but said with a smile on his face: "My Kangkang family is older -" At this point, he paused, changed his words, and said with some pride: "Well, our Kangbao is really awesome." He is modest

and low-key . It can be done here, but Kangkang has not changed into a human form until now. Although no one said this in front of them and the children, Kangkang must have had self-doubt in his heart, and he must give Kangkang recognition.

Kangkang is very powerful and won the battle.

Ah Yin was in the shape of a beast, licking Kangkang's wet body, as if to encourage him. Zhuo Lezhuo ran over and said happily: "Brother, you are so powerful.", "She is bigger than you, but brother, you won the fight!"

The lions and orcs also laughed and said, Zhuo Kang can still fight in a fight. It's pretty cool, and he will be a good orc in the future.

After the short interlude, continue on your way.

Everyone tried to stay up at night and stay up all day. It was much cooler this way. After running for nearly twenty days, we finally arrived at the Lion Man Tribe. Unlike Zhuo Yan's expectation, the Lion Man Tribe had no mountains. It was a very flat grassland with undulating hills. There are also trees, forests, and a lake.

The leader of the lion tribe said to Zhuo Yan enthusiastically: "Welcome to you, you can look around as you please in our tribe. It is going to be exposed to salt recently."

"I understand, we are not polite, you go ahead and do your business." Zhuo Yan said with a smile.

"Okay, your place has been arranged."

Xia Shu led the Leopard Man to settle in a house made of sheds. Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the 'house'. Ah Yin was walking beside him. He knew that his brother had always wanted to live in a house.

But the house here is different from the weaving house.

The initial residence of the lion man was a triangular shed made of wood and hung with leather inside. It is actually not too cold here in winter - because the lion man has fur, he has good ability to withstand the cold.

Mainly to prevent animal tides.

"...So we dug trenches, but those red-eyed lions would jump over the trenches, which was of little use. We had to build the houses closer so that the orcs could patrol easily in the winter." Natsuki introduced.

"This is the house we lived in before. Later I went to your clan to see your houses and sheds. Yours was taller and more open, so we used the old house to store food and sundries." Xia Shu pointed to the triangular house and said .

Now the house is a little taller. The foundation is dug and rows of thin trees stand. Then the foundation is filled with mud - there are stones, hay and yellow mud. Stir it evenly and pour it in. Then the thicker yellow mud smooths the gaps in the wood and the walls become thicker. .

The roof is also made of wood, and I learned how to build a weaving house.

There are windows high up, but they are all dark holes - Zhuo Yan knows that the lion tribe and the werewolf tribe have replaced a lot of transparent stones with the werewolf tribe this year, and it seems that they want to burn the windows.

"...We have only seen burning stones. We originally thought about what to do if we made a mistake, but now it's great, you are here." Xia Shu's eyes lit up when he said this.

Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "If there's anything you don't know about, ask Xiao Xian. He's very good at cooking it now."

"Okay." Xia Shu was happy.

The Lion Tribe really feels like a primitive village. The houses are concentrated near the lake, and there are trails that have been stepped on in all directions. The Lion Tribe's square is on the other side of the lake. The whole is in a circle, surrounded by a trench and forest. .

There are plants on the slopes, some planted and some growing wildly.

Xia Shu said that the tea leaves were there - and he also learned the name of tea leaves from Zhuo Yan.

The whole tribe seemed more friendly. Zhuo Yan thought it might be because of those houses. The other three tribes dug holes in the mountains and had natural tree houses. Only the lion tribe built houses. Regardless of the size of the house, it had a sense of modern civilization. 'feeling.

"Chief Zhuoyan, you guys live in these newly built houses." Xia Shu led everyone there, "We just built these this year. No one has lived in them yet. There are also beds made of wooden boards inside. I knew you were coming since last year. , we started to work."

Zhuo Yan smiled and thanked them. The lion people received them with great enthusiasm and sincerity.

After that, Xia Shu left first and let the leopard people settle down. Xiao Xian went to pick a house, but Zhuo Yan grabbed him and said, "You sleep alone in the room next to me. If you feel bored, just help me bring Lele Buhei Kangbao."

Xiao Xian had a look on his face like "Oh oh oh, I know Brother Zhuo Yan is going to date Ah Yin". Zhuo Yan said... What is he thinking in his head? Is he this kind of person? I just thought Xiao Xian was a single orc living in a strange environment. It's safer to be closer to him.

But he accepted the pot, because Xiaoxian readily agreed.

These houses were much larger than tree houses, with simple furniture inside. After they put down the rattan baskets and spread straw mats and leathers, not long after, Xia Shu, a lion-man tribe, brought others to bring food, some berries, and various Plant a variety of berries.

"We have a lot of fruits, and they are ripe during this time."

Zhuo Yan:! ! !

He saw big grapes, strawberries, and a green taste that tasted like kiwi fruit. Most importantly, there was a big watermelon here?

Summer is a great time to eat watermelon.

Chapter 107

The lion tribe has abundant food and plenty of prey. The Tiger tribe mostly produces mountain products, such as ginseng, fungus, truffles, and walnuts, while the Lion tribe is rich in fruits, including all kinds of fruits that have never been seen before, as well as tea.

"There are a lot of berries in our tribe, but they are difficult to send to the market. They rot too easily, so we can only eat them ourselves. I also thought about drying the fruits, which is just like dried meat, but with salt added. The ones that come out are very unpalatable, only the red sour fruits can be dried, and the rest are rotten," Xia Shu said with some distress.

The red sour fruit is somewhat like a hawthorn. It tastes sweet and sour, and has a crisp texture. It is larger than a hawthorn and is about the size of a child's fist. It is also a bit like an apple. The texture is amazing and delicious.

At this year's market, the lion man brought dried red sour fruits to exchange.

Zhuo Yan had eaten it and changed a bit, "Grapes can actually be made into dried fruits."

"Grapes? Chief Zhuo Yan, are you talking about the bright black fruit?"

"Yes."

Xia Shu remembered it and put the bright black fruit into it. He also changed his name to grapes, "I dried them in the sun, and they were all rotten."

Zhuo Yan remembered that raisins had to be dried in a special house. The house was a bridal chamber made of bricks, with wooden beams inside to support it, and wooden poles for hanging and tying. When growing grapes, they should probably be exposed to the sun and not directly exposed to the sun.

He drew a house with Xia Shu on the ground, "I'm not sure if it can work."

"We can try it!" Xia Shu said happily: "The patriarch said, you can try anything. I have tried many times before and made many mistakes. You are right. Some people in the tribe also said that I wasted food. But later, our tribe leader Zhuo Yan asked me to try more. Maybe it can be done."

Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "When building a house, you need to dry the bricks first. "Chopping wood, I see the lion people are drying salt. If there is no one, we leopard people can help."

He also wanted to take a look nearby.

"Okay, thank you, Chief Zhuoyan." Xia Shu agreed readily.

When the three cubs arrived at the lion-man tribe, they refused to recognize each other, especially the little lion named Alai - the one who particularly liked Zhuo Kang. The little guy was the strongest among the lion cubs, and he had a good temperament. The eldest sister had a sense of familiarity with the leader. As soon as she arrived in the tribe, she came running every day, biting Zhuo Kang's tail, and wanted to take Zhuo Kang to play.

Zhuo Lezhuo Buhei was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and said, "Stop biting my eldest brother." The other one said, "My eldest brother will beat you up soon."

The result - the two of them talked about it, but in the end they played with Alai because Alai was in the shape of a beast and could crawl everywhere. They played hide-and-seek and adventure. Zhuo Buhei and Zhuo Le went crazy while Zhuo Kang was lazy. Yangyang followed behind, looking a bit like a 'child'.

They crawled under the tea tree to complete the labyrinth, and went to pick fruits. Zhuo Lezhuo's hands and face were sticky from eating. Zhuo Le thought his hair was too long, so several little guys ran to the lake to shave their hair.

That evening, Zhuo Yan saw three of them coming back: frowning, confused, whose family they were from?

Oh oh oh, the two inches and the head that the dog gnawed on were his humanoid cubs.

At the end, Zhuo Kangmao -

"How come your hair has been chewed?!" Zhuo Yan was shocked, his furry little rag!

Zhuo Le was very proud, "Dad, I cut it so that the hair is shorter and cooler."

Your hairy chestnut hair is so ugly - it's actually not ugly at all. It's also very energetic. It makes Lele's eyes look bigger. , the facial features are more beautiful, Zhuo Yan waved, "Let me see, don't let your hair fall off your body, otherwise it will itch."

Zhuo Le Zhuo was so happy that he ran towards his father.

They knew Dad wouldn't be angry.

"Your elder brother's hair is not very good at shaving. It's a bit ugly. I'll fix it." Zhuo Yan checked the two. Zhuo Le was very smart and took his brother to shave his hair and take a bath in the lake.

Zhuo Yan just felt sorry for his cute little furry rag.

That night, when Ah Yin came over, he saw his brother holding Kangkang on his lap and trimming Kangkang's hair little by little. He couldn't help but change into the shape of an animal and walked over. He wanted to do the same.

...

The family activity in the evening is to trim their hair. After the repair is completed, the lion-human tribe feels a bit stuffy at night in summer. The house is not as cool as the cave. Some lions sleep by the lake, while the sub-orcs sleep in the house. With the door open, there is a trace of A cool breeze comes in.

Zhuo Le Zhuo Buhei was chattering about where he went to play during the day.

"Alai is very lively and strong, dad."

"She can find sweet fruits."

"No wonder so many cubs play with her."

Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "Alai is just like you, you are in our tribe , everyone also likes to play with you. "Now Zhuo Le also likes Alai.

"Then next time she goes to our tribe, I will take her to climb the back mountain." Zhuo Le said.

Zhuo Buhei: "Then I'll take her to, go, pick up peanuts!"

"Hahahaha."

Zhuo Buhei looked at his sister, "Why are you laughing?"

"It's not fun to pick up peanuts."

"There's nothing fun about mountain climbing. "

That's true," Zhuo Le admitted, turning over and lying on the bed, looking at his father, "Dad, there are so many delicious fruits in the Lion Tribe. There are so few fruits in our tribe, and they are not as good as those here." Eat."

Zhuo Yan said, "You have been to our tribe since you were little. Of course you find it boring. Believe it or not, Alai still thinks our tribe is fun."

"Is that true, Dad? After Zhuo Buhei finished speaking, he added: "That must be true."

Ask yourself.

It made Zhuo Le laugh.

Ah Yin touched three of them and told them to go to sleep. "Kang Bao is already asleep."

"Brother ran a lot today, he must be tired." Zhuo Le said, his voice a little soft.

Zhuo Buhei fell asleep directly.

The children ran all day, uphill and down to the lake. Their energy was consumed quickly and they fell asleep after a while. The room was quiet. Zhuo Yan and A Yin were lying on the mats spread on the ground. They could open their mouths and listen to the sound of the sleeping children's breathing.

A Yin said: "Brother, do you like the Lion Tribe?"

"Yeah, it's pretty good." Zhuo Yan knew what A Yin wanted to say. It was a bit hot in the summer, and the two rarely hugged each other when sleeping. Now they would hold hands, Zhuo Yan Yan said: "The house is very good, but in recent years, the snow has become colder and colder, and the tribe has no place to build a house. Now the tribesmen have adapted to it, and it is not suitable." Even

he is afraid of weaving a house. It will collapse in winter.

In fact, he had originally thought about migrating, but it was even more inappropriate now. The clan had everything, including fields, tools, salt, clothes, enough food and clothing, and they had settled down. Where would he move if he wanted to move?

"We can build a house in the bamboo forest." A Yin said.

Zhuo Yan looked over.

"It's very cool over there. If my brother wants to live in a house, we'll live in a house and live in a cave in the winter."

Zhuo Yan laughed and thought, "The cubs will be very happy."

There is a secret base to play in.

Ah Yin: "Brother, are you happy?"

Zhuo Yan was startled, and then realized that Ah Yin had no obsession with the house, and had no idea whether he wanted to live in it or not. He built the house entirely because he liked it. At this time, he couldn't hold back his lips and was no longer afraid of the heat. He leaned over and kissed Ah Yin. silver.

The two kiss.

Zhuo Kang, who was on the bed, opened his eyes in a daze - because Zhuo Le's hand was rubbing his belly again, and Zhuo Buhei's hand was stroking his tail. As a result, Zhuo Kang saw his father and his father talking to each other on the ground - it seemed like Wrong call. Instead of answering, what did you answer?

Zhuo Kang looked at it in a daze for a while. Is the mouth really so kissable?

Then Zhuo Kang fell asleep again.

In the early morning, Alai and the cubs from the tribe called Zhuo Le and Kangkang Buhei at the door. The three cubs got up early with sleepy faces, but they soon became energetic. Zhuo Le and Zhuo Buhei held bubble leaves. Zhuo Kang also jumped out of bed.

Two put on clothes.

"Dad, let's go play!"

"Goodbye, Dad~"

"Ouch~"

The three of them disappeared again.

Zhuo Yan, Xiao Xian and Xia Shu started to bake bricks. The orcs were responsible for digging the foundation and starting to build a house for drying raisins in the shade. This house did not need to be too big. The bricks were staggered and built, and the roof was covered with wood and straw mats. The upper layer of yellow mud was smoothed out, and a row of gap pillars stood inside.

The house took three days to build.

Lions and sub-orcs came to see and help, but they didn't understand. The walls of this house were full of holes. It couldn't accommodate people when it rained or snowed, and it wasn't very big.

"It's not for people, it's for grapes."

"Grapes? Who are they?"

"It's bright black fruits."

"Chief Zhuoyan said that if you use this house to dry the black fruits, they will turn into dried fruits. Then we can send them to the market.

"But if the house is built, the sun won't be very strong, so how can it be dried?"

"I don't know how to dry it in the shade. Let's try it." People

in the tribe are very curious and are not afraid of trial and error. , there are also tribesmen who conservatively continue their tribe's experience - it's the same in every tribe, but fortunately, the conservative tribesmen will not point at this house to block it, they just look at it from a distance and whisper: It won't succeed, it's a waste of effort. .

"No, what Chief Zhuo Yan came up with should be successful." Another lion tribe member retorted, but his tone was not so firm.

They all know that the leader of the Leopard People is very smart, but this house is indeed drying dried fruits - I have never seen it before, and it is very strange. Since it is drying, how can it be dried if the sun is blocked by building a house? Wouldn't it break more easily?

Taking advantage of the hottest time, Xia Shu led people to pick grapes and hung them on racks to dry in the shade.

Zhuo Yan, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He told his tribe to find their own fun and just don't get into fights and conflicts with the Lion Tribe. The Lion Tribe received them warmly and hospitably. The Lion Tribe's leader also said the same thing. But just because of this, Zhuo Yan reminded the tribesmen a few words.

Both parties can be polite and respectful to each other.

Ah Yin was carrying his brother on his back while running and playing near the Lion Tribe tribe. Three or four days south of here is the Feather Tribe. There are mountains and dense forests. To the north are large tracts of grassland. We usually go north for hunting. Go.

In the past few days, Zhuo Yan and A Yin went to the south, where there were mountains and trees. During this period, they ran farther. For more than a day, they encountered birds, such as giant eagles and eagles. Zhuo Yan couldn't tell whether they were feathered people or eagles. Common birds.

However, the two of them went back.

At night, the lion tribe came back from hunting, and everyone ate barbecue in the lakeside square. Zhuo Yan chatted with the leader of the Lion Tribe and talked about the Lion Tribe and where they had been in the past few days. They also saw birds this year, maybe they were feathered people.

"It's the Yuren." The leader of the Lion Men said firmly, "It started two or three years ago. I forgot the time. Anyway, it's been a long time. After we didn't go to the Yuren market to exchange salt, one year our tribe went hunting. "When they saw the Golden-headed Wild Geese flying in the air, they didn't dare to fall down. They just stared at us and alerted the prey,"

the lion-man clan leader said, quite bored.

"Later on, every time when the market opened, I mean the feathered people's market, they would fly here to have a look, but they didn't dare to fly too close. Last year, the Eagle People and Eagle People showed up."

"They still haven't given up. "The orc who gave the needle to the peacock said at this time: "We have already said that we will not exchange salt with the feather people."

The lion man clan leader sneered and said: "The winter has been a lot colder in recent years, and there were several rains last year. "Xue, we have changed so many skins before that they won't freeze to death, but they must be scared."

"I thought we fur tribes were angry and would rather not eat salt than go to the market. They wanted to come and see our jokes, but they didn't expect that our days would get worse ." It's getting better."

Zhuo Yan nodded. Leather is not a one-time use. His leather is used more and more, but as it is cleaned and used for a long time, the old leather is no longer warm. It can be used as shop leather. Floor mats, cushions, and newly acquired covers were used as clothes, and the feathered people obviously did not have the ability to hunt and harvest skins.

I guess life is difficult for Yu people, so they can only bear it hard.

Feng shui changes.

For many years before, the four fur tribes had bent over and broken their backbones. They had no dignity. Year after year, they begged the feathered people to exchange salt for them. All they could say was, repay them with repayment.

After talking for a while, the topic returned to the beginning.

Zhuo Yan was curious. To the south were mountains, feathered men, and forests. To the north was a place where lions often hunted. There were abundant prey there, such as horned oxen, sheep, and gray elephants. There were no short-legged beasts. If the lions were injured and bleeding, there would be A medicinal herb that can be chewed and applied to wounds to stop bleeding.

Asu listened very seriously, and the lion-man clan leader did not hide anything. He told Asu what the medicinal materials looked like, and also said that if you want them, you can pick them. Pointed out the place.

"What about the west side?"

"The west side?"

Zhuo Yan pointed in the direction, and the lion clan leader waved his hand, "There is no prey over there."

Zhuo Yan was curious. The leader of the lion tribe elaborated: "You can see the grassland to the west now, but if you run for a long time, the grass will slowly disappear there. If you go further, there will be black traps, which look like soil but not like soil. In the past, The orcs fell in and couldn't get out. They were buried alive and couldn't get out no matter how hard they tried. "

Zhuo Yan sounded like a swamp, but it wasn't. He was a little curious.

"I want to go and have a look tomorrow."

Not to mention the lion tribe, Xiao Xian was anxious first, "Brother Zhuo Yan is very dangerous over there."

"Then let's go and have a look together." Zhuo Yan said.

Xiao Xian's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Okay, okay, okay." In fact, he was also curious, as he had never seen a black trap before.

On the second day, Zhuoyan, Ah Yin, Ah Hui, Xiao Xian, and two lion-men and orcs led the way. They went to the thin black trap. After running for about half a day, at almost noon, they could find that the grass was getting thicker and thinner. The less it becomes, the more bald it becomes.

Zhuo Yan was also a little curious and suspicious because the lion man clan leader said "bald". It was a bit like there was something underground that prevented vegetation from growing. He was a little suspicious of whether it was a coal mine, it was dark.

"It's just ahead. Don't run ahead. Follow us."

Two lion-men orcs took the lead.

They had been here a long time ago, and they were still a little cautious since they hadn't been here for a long time.

Everyone slowed down. Looking ahead, we could see the black surface and the yellow and black soil. It was difficult to distinguish the boundaries further away. The lion-man orc stepped on the yellow soil, and one of its front feet slowly sank in. If the lion-man orc struggled, it would only sink deeper -

"Don't move! Don't move! Don't struggle." Zhuo Yan shouted, from Ah Silver jumped down on his back.

Ah Yin turned into a human form, ran over, and reached out to grab the hind legs of the lion-man orc, but the trapped lion-man was stiff and motionless, and unexpectedly his front paws were no longer deep.

"Pull." Zhuo Yan said.

Ah Yin slowly pulled the other person up.

Seeing this, Xiao Xian looked at the ground, tested the road with his toes, and walked carefully to Brother Zhuo Yan. He looked at the black ground mixed with soil, "What is this? Why can it still eat people."

"It's not cannibalism." Zhuo Yan squatted down and reached out to touch the ground. It was soft, like sand and very sticky.

Xiao Xian pinched along with him.

There was a handful of black and gray sand in the palm of his hand, and it flowed through his fingers. The soil was moist and black, like grains of sand. Zhuo Yan said, "遁."

Xiao Xian hurriedly looked for the baskets on his back, and they carried a small handful of them. But he was not as fast as Ah Yin. Ah Yin had already got it. He walked to the side and asked his brother if he wanted to dig it.

"Try digging and see what's underneath."

Ah Yin started digging.

The deeper I dug, the bottom was filled with black gravel mixed with loess. When I dug one or two meters deep, I didn't see any coal. However, when A Yin waved the transparent stone scorpion faster and faster, as he went down, the bottom of the pit was a little small. Sparks flew out, very fast, and fleeting.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, I saw it, there are little stars."

"It's not the little stars, it's -" Zhuo Yan's brows jumped, his eyes lit up, but he was a little surprised. He hadn't confirmed it yet. Spark?

Are these black gravels iron powder?

"Take it back, bring more, the ones deep inside." Zhuo Yan couldn't wait to say.

The lion-men orcs were still a little confused, but Ah Yin and Ah Hui had already heard that the things inside seemed to be useful - their leader always said this tone every time he found something good.

Everyone packed a large basket, including the leathers they brought.

Regardless of being hungry, they immediately returned and arrived at the lion-man tribe in the evening. The three Zhuo Le had gone back early. They didn't see their father and father, and they didn't cry. They ran to Asu and the tribe to wait.

As soon as it gets dark, the children will go home and miss their father.

When Zhuo Yan came back, the three were the happiest. Ah Yin didn't rush to change back to human form. He carried three of them on his back and deliberately teased the three of them for a while before going to the lake to take a bath.

"Father, what are you doing?"

"Dad must be secretly dating Dad." Little Master Zhuo Le.

Zhuo Buhei: "Father, can't you take us with you?"

"Yes, yes." Zhuo Le learned this mantra from Xiao Xian - Xiao Xian learned this mantra on the way here.

Zhuo Yan touched his head and said in a natural tone: "You two are willing to play with us? The things adults play are very boring. If you are willing and don't want to climb trees and eat fruits with Alai and the others, then dry bricks with us. Let's do knitting."

The two were frightened:!

Although it was dark and they felt insecure and missed their father and father, when their father came back to their side, the three became bolder again, and they still wanted to have more fun hanging out with their friends.

Zhuo Yan said in a few words: Take it easy!

After bathing and smelling sweat, he changed into ramie short-sleeved shorts - he brought a change of clothes, and also asked Kong Xingxing to make A Yin a ramie skirt, which was more breathable than leather. He rubbed it before going to bed at night and let it dry in the air. On the clothes drying rack set up at the door of the house, it can be dried the next day.

Ah Yin is rubbing her clothes.

Zhuo Yanxin ran to the black gravel he brought back today.

"Don't wash it. Let's soak it there first. Let's go take a look at the black gravel."

"Okay." Ah Yin put the clothes in the rattan basket and came over to wash them after finishing thinking about the black gravel.

But soon Zhuo Yan came back to rub clothes with A Yin, because unlike their tribe, the lion tribe did not have a kiln. If these black gravels really contain iron powder, then the temperature of burning iron should be higher, and the kiln cannot be like burning pottery. The kiln is so big that it needs to be narrower to ensure high temperature inside, and a blower must be made.

Fortunately, this place is very close to the Yuren Clan and there is ready-made bamboo available.

Zhuo Yan wanted to prepare things for tomorrow. When he looked up, A Yin had already finished rubbing his clothes.

...

Ah Yin was holding the rattan basket with one hand and holding her brother with the other, thinking how cute her brother looked when he was thinking about something.

The next day, Zhuo Yan found a job in the Lion Tribe. He no longer ran around here and there. Xiao Xian followed him and was busy - luckily he brought Xiao Xian here. Xiao Xian can do the blower. The blower used wood chips, which were thinly sliced ​​with great effort, and leaves. They experimented many times.

The lion clan leader knew that Zhuo Yan had returned with a black trap. The two lion-man orcs waved their arms and gestured, "Clan leader Zhuoyan seems to be very happy. He said he hasn't worked it out yet, and he's not sure if it is."

"What is it?"

"Clan leader Zhuoyan didn't say anything."

The lion-man tribe leader pondered . After a while, he said: "You two, as well as Xia Shu, all listen to the words of the clan leader Zhuo Yan. You are not needed in the clan for drying salt and hunting."

"I know the clan leader."

After that, Zhuo Yan started to compete with the black sand gravel. She made a kiln and a bamboo blower. Xia Shu brought a few orcs from her clan who were as curious as her to help - but in fact, they couldn't help at first, they could only learn.

But they can chop bamboo and split bamboo into pieces.

Xiao Xian could understand what Zhuo Yan clan leader said, and he would also make a hand-operated blower from bamboo, which would produce wind when shaken. "If you supply air to the stove, the temperature inside the kiln will be high," Xiao Xian explained.

There is also a sieve, which they know how to do.

...

Zhuo Yan and his clansmen stayed in the lion tribe for almost a month. During this period, the lions had dried up all the salt. Alai, the little friend of Zhuo Le and the other three, completed a differentiation half a month ago and became seven. The eight-year-old girl is very tall, with slender and strong limbs. She looks rough but has soft eyes.

The same is true for the lion-men. The orcs have shoulder-length curly hair and stubble, while women have no stubble. Their faces are tougher, but their eyes are very gentle - they are born with a look of 'compassion'.

The sub-orcs were slender, with blond hair, and their eyes were full of compassion.

On this day, Zhuo Yan finally produced molten iron - luckily they brought some transparent stone utensils, smashed them, and processed them twice to make a mold into which molten iron could be put.

The first iron sword of the prehistoric orc tribe was born.

Zhuo Yan handed the iron sword to the lion tribe leader. The lion tribe leader didn't want it at first because it was made by Zhuo Yan - he made it over and over again for a long time, struggled for a long time according to the tribe's instructions, and failed many times.

During this period, some lion people wavered, but Zhuo Yan always persisted, and the leopard people always believed, and he was a little confused. He only regarded Zhuo Yan and the leopard people as guests, entertained them warmly, and did not have too much expectations for the black gravel. hope.

I didn't expect it to be done.

Zhuo Yan said that the molten iron can be made into hinges and installed on doors and door frames. It can also be made into knives, which are stronger and sharper than stone knives and bone knives——

It's a bit of a luxury to use it to make bowls, basins, and iron pots, because this black gravel is difficult to calcine - they took so long because they burned charcoal for three days!

Zhuo Yan insisted on giving the iron sword to the lion clan leader.

"This is black gravel found in the territory of the Lion Tribe. It was also burned in the Lion Tribe tribe. I also have selfish motives. The Lion Tribe wants to send sub-orcs to our tribe to learn weaving. I have thought about the tuition fees."

"Burned black gravel. I also gave the method to Xia Shu. "

"So this time the lion man went to the tribe with us to learn weaving. I want four baskets of sifted black gravel. After the lion man learns it, within a year, the lion man will go to the leopard. Just provide ten iron knives from the human race."

The lion clan leader readily agreed. In his opinion, it was the lion people who took advantage, because Zhuoyan gave them the methods of burning black gravel and burning charcoal. The leader of the lion people accepted the iron knife and added: "In addition to ten iron Knife, and ten more baskets of black gravel from our lion tribe."

"Thank you, my lion fellow," Zhuo Yan agreed without hesitation.

Then it was time to go back.

After staying in the Lion Tribe for more than a month, Zhuo Yan forgot about the raisin house he originally built because he was burning black gravel. Before leaving, he remembered to ask Xia Shu, but Xia Shu was busy and forgot. Waiting for her I ran to take a look and was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually had a tan!

So Zhuo Yan brought two more raisins in bamboo tubes.

We went back just in time for the end of the rainy season. The black gravel was heavy after being wetted by water. Zhuo Yan shared some of the raisins. Everyone ate them along the way - even though they were kept in bamboo tubes, rainwater still got in, so it was better to eat them.

Even though it was raining, everyone was happy because they were going home.

When the three Zhuo Kangs heard this, they were only a little bit reluctant to part with Alai, but more excited and happy, mumbling about Blizzard, Tiger, Wind Chimes...

Even the raisins Zhuo Buhei was reluctant to eat, wanting to leave them for his friends. Some.

"The Lion Tribe will take it to the market next year. It has been stained by rain and cannot be dried in the sun. It will be spoiled when it is taken back. Eat it." Zhuo Yan said.

Only Zhuo Buhei endured the pain and took a big mouthful of the whole dish.

After walking on the rainy road for a few days, the rainbow came out and the temperature was not so hot. Maybe I was in a happy mood when I went back. Everyone was very happy along the way. When I arrived at the tribe, Zhuo Kang jumped off his father's back, his figure was free and easy, running Go to the tribe.

"Blizzard!"

"Tiger Tiger."

"Wind chimes - we are back!"

Going home is the happiest thing.

The tribe members have finished cultivating the land, and green sprouts are already growing on the ground. The sub-orcs are chatting and working and knitting by the river. The children are playing in the toy area. If Zhuo Yan is not mistaken, there are two more furry cubs.

"Brothers A Tou and A Ri have cubs, born to their partner."

They came and went and lived in the lion tribe for more than a month, almost four months in total. When I left, my partner probably didn't know she was pregnant.

Xiao Xian's eyes sparkled with joy, he was going to be an uncle!

The three peacocks who went to the Khajiit tribe also came back, bringing a lot of pine nuts from the Khajiit - the peacocks like to eat these very much, and Maha now just throws a bunch of them around and knocks them wherever he goes.

Everyone was even more enthusiastic when they saw the patriarch coming back.

"I'm back safely!"

"Lele Kangkang is not evil, you are back!"

"The patriarch is back, the patriarch is back -"

Chapter 108

Four years later, spring begins.

During the snow season, half of the roof of the weaving house was collapsed by the snow. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Mahada, En and Ayin were cleaning up the weaving house. Zhuo Yan stood aside and said, "Fortunately, the beams are not broken. You can take care of them during the snowstorm." They get out of here."

What if the whole thing collapses and hits the cubs.

Blizzard responded, followed by Zhuo Kang. Zhuo Kang had grown into a majestic big leopard, but it had not yet differentiated.

In the past four years, the Lion Tribe came to the Leopard Tribe to learn weaving. In the second year of the market, the Lion Tribe fulfilled their promise and gave a total of ten iron knives. The iron knives have long arms and sharp blades. It can be seen that the forging technology has been greatly improved. Pass.

The Lion Tribe said: These ten knives are the best-looking and sharpest ones. Our tribe keeps the ones that are ugly and sharp for our own use.

No wonder it's so good.

And of course the promised ten baskets of black gravel.

In the same year at the market, the Tiger Tribe promised and sent one hundred sets of cotton-padded clothes - the top with three-quarter sleeves revealing the wrists and diagonal ties, and the lower body with loose trousers and slightly longer trousers, exposing the ankles. This arm and leg length is the favorite for both orcs and sub-orcs. It doesn't drag you back and makes work quick and convenient.

This year, the sub-orcs and orcs from the lion tribe who came to study were sent away - among them there was a female orc who stayed, named Ah Zong. Ah Zong and Kong Yu liked each other.

There is another hole near Shitokong Xingxing's house. Ah Zong and Kong Yu's home.

At the end of the fair in the same year, the werewolf tribe left two sub-orcs and an orc to live in the 'study dormitory', and the werewolf tribe began to learn weaving.

In the third year of the market, the Tiger Tribe gave twenty quilts to the Leopard Tribe - the cotton had been spun and sewn with a mesh of cotton thread, and the quilt cover was made of cotton and dyed black.

Because at last year's market, the Peacock Clan woven colorful linen cloth with some patterns - the Leopard Clan's clothes were always at the forefront of trends. The tiger people had just learned to weave and made cotton-padded clothes, which the sub-orc cubs put on. The result was that the leopard people were wearing colored linen cloth!

So the tiger people learned when they went back that they also had colored plants that could be used as dyes. So there was a black quilt cover. It's a bit gray after a few washes, but the quilt made by Tiger Man is really made of real materials. The quilt is thick and the quilt cover is strong and very wear-resistant.

Of these twenty quilts, four were given to the peacocks - one for the Kongxing Cave, two for the Konghuoyan Cave, two for the Kongyu Cave, and one for the Kongyu Cave. The rest of the Zhuoyan quilts were drawn by lot. All the holes are pumped.

After all, they are teaching tigers to learn, and there are also tiger tribes being sent to teach weaving and cotton spinning. Zhuo Yan said that the peacocks and tigers figured it out. This convenience is indeed a great effort of the peacocks.

After accepting the quilt, Zhuo Yan told the tiger tribe leader that the tuition fee was officially completed, so don't give it to them.

So in the fourth year, the entire tiger tribe put on cotton-padded clothes, as well as shorts and short-sleeved suspenders. The styles were all learned from the leopard tribe. They used the extra cotton coats to trade with the lion tribe for iron hinges at the market. The door needs to be locked, and some transparent stone products must be exchanged with the werewolf tribe, including bowls, buckets, glass windows and the like.

The entire lion clan also wore clothes made of linen.

As Zhuo Yan said at the beginning, when the werewolf tribe learned to weave, the fabrics of the three tribes were already very loose. The werewolf tribe used transparent stone products in exchange for the three tribes, cotton clothes and linen, and all the tribesmen could wear them. .

The werewolves planted ramie after the rainy season in the fourth year.

Four years later, it is now. The Leopard Clan's weaving house collapsed - speaking of this, Zhuo Yan stood in front of the house, looking at the large dilapidated hole and the half-collapsed wall behind, frowning deeply.

It wasn't because the house collapsed - I couldn't say that.

But the snow season has become colder and colder in the past few years. Not only their tribe, but also the furthest lion tribe also said that in the past, there were only one or two snows in the snow season, and at most five snows were not heavy snows. But in the past three years, the snow has It gets bigger every time, and it was even worse last year. In the snowy day for a month, many cubs froze to death in Yuren's place.

Fortunately, the lion people have furs and houses, because Zhuo Yan burned iron for them, installed wooden doors in their houses, and nailed the windows with wooden bars - every year at the market, everyone would talk about the current situation of various ethnic groups, and Zhuo Yan would also say Iron can be burned into nails or something.

In short, the lion-man clan leader was very grateful to Zhuo Yan.

Because the Tiger Tribe had cotton-padded clothes, they put on a leather cloak and a quilt on top of the cotton-padded clothes - this was really warm, and with the addition of natural warmth such as ginseng and tree houses, the situation was better.

Leopard Man has a cave here.

The werewolf clan is a bit miserable. The climate is similar to werewolves and leopards. Last year, the snow season lasted almost four months, and blizzards accounted for half of it. Zhuo Yan had nightmares when he slept at night. He woke up after being frightened several times. When he woke up, A Yin was in the shape of a beast, surrounded by Among them, Kangkang is also in animal form, sleeping with his younger brothers and sisters in his arms.

He dreamed that the mountain was crushing...

"Chief, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Xian ran here to help. When he saw Brother Zhuo Yan frowning, the corners of his mouth turned down, his expression was even more bitter than when he was eating bitter tree sap.

Zhuo Yan sighed silently, calmed down the look on his face, and said, "It's nothing. The snow season was too long last year. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the clan. We are okay. We don't know what happened to the werewolves."

"They must be okay, too. Don't worry, brother Zhuo Yan, they also live in the big cave." Xiao Xian comforted.

Normally, when everyone in the clan comes and goes, the friends will call him clan leader Zhuo Yan, but in private, a few people will call him by name when they are worried about Zhuo Yan.

"The mountain is very solid, and it's not a house." After Aman finished speaking, knowing that Zhuo Yan felt sorry for the house, he quickly added: "We can build the house even if it collapses. It's very convenient. Don't look so grim."

What if the mountain collapses too? They were buried in the cave. There was a blizzard, and the entire Leopard Tribe was completely white. The cold wind was howling. For a long time, there was no life under the deep snow, and a leopard screamed.

Zhuo Yan saw that his friends were all concerned about him, so he shook his head and shook the dream away. Just like A Yin said, it was just a dream. Spring has come, and his tribe has not died, they are all still there.

"Repair the house first. The linen is enough to wear and use. It doesn't matter if you don't weave for a while. Give Boss Kong and the others a holiday."

Because the snow season comes earlier every year, it is not good to grow food after the rainy season - last year's weather It's cold early, so the yellow rice isn't very ripe yet, so it's just okay to eat, and the yield isn't very high. Now we can only plant it in the first half of the year.

In the first half of this year, yellow rice, peanuts, and a small portion of mung beans were produced. In the second half of the year, we mainly plant potatoes, which are easy to grow when the weather is cold and can also fill our stomachs.

In addition to the long and cold snow season, the four tribes have been put to the test, and there are fewer natural preys. If it were not for farming, it would be really difficult.

Sometimes Zhuo Yan wonders, if he hadn't come through, year after year of severe cold and the gradual decrease of prey, would these orcs and sub-orcs have gradually withered and slowly perished? He didn't want to put himself in a flattering light, but the winters in recent years had been really bad.

The house in the bamboo forest is okay. It may have been newly built in the past two years. It's just that some bamboos weighed down by the snow knocked off the roof tiles. They only need to be repaired.

Qiao came to check the numbers. She was in charge of the kiln and the tiles and bricks.

"There is no rush in the bamboo forest house, I will live in a cave this year -" Zhuo Yan said this, subconsciously thinking of the dream again. He had had it for more than half a month, and the content of the dream was exactly the same. As a result, it was already past the cold winter, and he was still confused from time to time. Now in my mind, the content of the dream is as clear as if it has happened or is about to happen.

"Zhuo Yan? What are you thinking? It's okay. If you want to burn it, just burn it together. It doesn't take much effort. But this year there are no transparent stones. This time the snowy day is too long and very cold. The orcs in the tribe are the first ones. No one is shouting to go to Snow Deer Mountain." Qiao waved his hand in front of Zhuo Yan, "Since the snow season, your face has not been good." Shitou

: "Is there another cub?"

:!

He was so frightened that he immediately returned to reality from the dream. Zhuo Yan looked at Shi Shi, "Don't curse me."

"How can this be a curse on you? Haha, Brother Zhuo Yan." Xiao Xian looked at Brother Zhuo Yan I am happy when I am lively and energetic.

Zhuo Yan looked at the others and said, "If any of you takes three of my cubs for a month, I guarantee that you will be obedient."

"Three of them are also very cute." Aman said hard, but when he thought of the four cubs in the cave, he immediately He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not have any cubs."

The cub was in the cave, and he and Dahn didn't even have a few intimate moments in the cold winter.

I finally got through it until spring came, and there was a lot of work to do. But Tiger also ran out to have fun, so he and Dan could finish their work and make out during dinner time.

"Can my Tiger have dinner at your house tonight?" Aman looked at Qiao, Shitou, Zhuo Yan and Xiao Xian one by one.

Four people: ...

Zhuo Yan smiled helplessly, okay.

"Then patriarch, my family has Blizzard?"

"My wind chime is also very good."

"...Come all." There happened to be more children, and the noise made his head so big that he had no time to relive the nightmare. Zhuo Yan agreed immediately.

The friends were so happy.

Xiaoxian still has no partner in the past few years, but! But Xiao Xian has a boyfriend. When the Lion Tribe came here to learn weaving, there was a male orc named Gehu besides Ah Zong. Xiao Xian fell in love with him and played with him every day. Xiao Xian laughed so hard hehehe—— During that period of time when I was in love, I felt like I was back to the cub stage, appearing every day with my furry ears on my head.

However, after the lion man's studies were over, Gehu was going back to his clan in the market that year, and Ah Zong stayed for Kong Yu. Gehu and Xiaoxian had a big quarrel and broke up.

Ge Hu wanted Xiao Xian to join their tribe, but Xiao Xian was unwilling. Xiao Xian said why don't you come to our tribe - anyway, neither party was willing to give in.

Just like that.

During the time when Xiaoxian was heartbroken, he cried behind someone's back every day. Zhuo Yanqiao and others didn't know it at first, but one day Zhuo Le quietly told his father that several children ran out to play and saw Uncle Xian wiping his tears and crying.

Zhuo Yan told Lele not to disturb him.

Zhuo Le looked like "We've already disturbed you". Several people gathered around Uncle Xiao Xian and directly asked Uncle Xiao Xian why he was crying. Tiger said: There are many orcs in our tribe, just find another one. The wind chime said: If you like Uncle Gehu, why not wait for him to come to the market and you can continue dating.

Blizzard took the opportunity to promote and said: Why don't you change it? My Uncle Kong Yuan is very good, and Uncle Kong Huo, but Uncle Kong Lu is not good. Uncle Kong Lu seems to like Uncle Maha very much.

Xiao Xian: ...

Then Xiao Xian came out of the haze of lovelorn.

Just now, the long cold winter has ended for the tribesmen, and everyone's face is full of joy. Although the weaving house collapsed and the food in the fields is not as good as before, everyone welcomes spring with enthusiasm.

Even working is very fun.

Everyone is very hardworking.

Zhuo Yan made stew and barbecue for the little ones at night. Everyone did not eat in the cave. They ran to the entrance of the cave to stand or sit around the long table to eat. Kangbao and Blizzard got together, and Blizzard gave Kangbao Pick up vegetables.

"Blizzard doesn't care about Kangkang, Kangkang is in the bowl." Zhuo Yan knew that it was useless, because since childhood, Blizzard would always take care of Kangkang, as if it had become instinct.

Ah Yin smiled and picked up some food for her brother, "Brother, please eat quickly, they have almost finished eating."

"I eat, I eat."

After a lively meal, the children went back to their homes, and Kangkang went to send Blizzard off. , a leopard stood alone at the bottom of the slope chattering, Kong Xingxing stood at the bottom waiting -

Shitou didn't come, Kong Xingxing proudly said Shitou was a little tired.

Zhuo Yan: ...

Kong Xingxing stood there and didn't rush his son, but Kangkang still moaned and said he was going back - which probably meant that Zhuo Yan could also understand what his eldest son was moaning, judging from the expression on his leopard face. Blizzard said you go, I'll watch you go first.

Zhuo Yan could hear it on the slope. He had good ears. He turned around and lay on A Yin's shoulder, whispering: "You said they - forget it."

A Yin smiled, he knew what his brother wanted to say, Kang Kang is a leopard and Blizzard is a humanoid. Are they in love? Maybe, maybe not, anyway, it has always been like this when the two of them grew up.

"Let the children take care of their own business." Ah Yin has always said this to his cubs.

It seems that apart from growing up healthy and safe, love life, minor conflicts between brothers and sisters, and quarrels between partners are all trivial matters that I rarely intervene in.

Zhuo Yan will also relieve Dao Yi and Er.

There are a lot of tribal pottery, so we need to replenish some inventory. This year, most of them are bricks and tiles. Then Maha brought people to repair the roof. Zhuo Yan looked at the intact glass and thought that this thing is really cold-resistant and strong.

By the time the roof was repaired, the weather had warmed up.

Zhuo Le is the first cub among her batch of cubs in the tribe to be differentiated for the second time - Zhuo Le differentiates into an orc. It was an afternoon, and Zhuo Le and Tiger were still bullying the furry cubs in the toy area. In the past four years, the tribe had added sixteen more cubs, big and small. The smallest one had six. Two months old cub.

Those born at the beginning of spring have names related to spring, such as Big Spring, Little Spring, Ah Chun Chun - maybe because this winter is too difficult, everyone is looking forward to spring, and spring is the hope of birth.

There is also something called hope.

Six furries were climbing up and down the slide. Zhuo Le was holding one by the neck, "The spring cub always wants to climb to the river."

"I'll do it. I'll do it." Tiger rubbed his hands to 'teach' furries a lesson. , "It's so fun to be furry."

"How come you are just like my dad."

"Didn't you hug your big brother in winter?"

Zhuo Le: ...Silence.

The two were chatting and bickering when a cub fell from the tree roof and ran madly towards the river. Zhuo Le turned his head and howled, then landed on the ground and turned into a giant leopard on all fours. It roared and was shocked. Che tribe.

The six little leopards were so frightened that they all lay down on the ground. The one by the river was sitting on the ground.

Tiger was stunned for a moment, then understood and rushed over happily. He hugged Zhuo Le and said, "Zhuo Le, you have turned into an animal shape! You are an orc!"

Zhuo Le shouted, and the excitement could be heard in his voice. After adapting to the present situation, he walks with all four limbs on the same hands and feet, jumps up and down, and even bumps Tiger with his head. Tiger clutched his waist and ran ahead. Zhuo Le looked at Gaga Le and followed him at an unfamiliar pace.

When Zhuo Yan arrived, he saw Tiger running very fast. The leopard with a tuft of white hair on its head behind him ran a few steps and jumped on its limbs. It may have tried to reverse its limbs, but it ended up looking more like a little zombie.

"..." Zhuo Yan was amused.

Zhuo Le transformed into an orc for the second time. To maintain her animal form this day, she needed to eat a lot of meat. She felt so hungry, and the only things left in the cave were some bacon and fruit potatoes.

Ah Yin took Zhuo Le out hunting.

When she came back in the evening, Zhuo Le's hair was all wet. A Yin said: "She has eaten. She ate a whole horned sheep and ran away for a long time. She is fine."

Early the next morning, Zhuo Le went to bed. , opened the curtain and poked out a girl's head. The girl has curly hair, a bunch of silver hair scattered on the top, wheat-colored skin, which has turned white this winter, the hair is very neat at the ears, big eyes, a high nose bridge, a clear jawline, and the entire height is already 1.9 meters. .

Zhuo Buhei was still a child in his early 18's. He looked at his sister enviously and almost drooled. "Sister, can you carry me on your back?"

"Okay, you come up here and I'll run around with you on my back." "Zhuo Le's previous cotton-padded clothes are now replaced by leather skirts and waistcoats.

Zhuo Buhei's little follower hugged his sister's skin. When his sister turned into a beast, he immediately ran on his back and sat down. Zhuo Le took his younger brother to wander around the tribe. After carrying Buhei, he met Tiger and Feng Chime. The little friend got on her back to play.

...

The second one turned into beast form was Tiger, and the third one was Wind Chime.

Zhuo Buhei saw that all his friends had become orcs. Every day before going to bed, he asked his father when it would be his turn. Zhuo Yan could not guarantee it. Until the market was about to open, Zhuo Buhei was still in human form. Zhuo Yan knew it in his heart. Maybe it's not that he's probably a sub-orc.

"Asian orcs, just be asian orcs!"

"Hey, before my sister, Tiger, and Feng Ling have partners, they all have to carry me on their backs!!!"

Zhuo Buhei was very happy and said with his hands on his hips: "Dad, don't worry. I, the sub-orc, will be very powerful, and I will be very powerful!"

Zhuo Yan then touched his little son's head and said yes with a smile.

He could see that Buhei really let go of his obsession with becoming an orc, accepted the identity arrangement of a sub-orc, adjusted his mentality, and could always live a good life.

It's not a big deal if he's not an orc.

Among Zhuo Le's cubs, only Blizzard and Zhuo Kang are the most special. Blizzard is still in human form, while Kangkang is still a silver leopard without any change.

The three of them turned into orcs and no longer liked staying in the tribe. Zhuo Yan told Zhuo Le not to run too far and to come back when they encountered dangerous prey. The three of them were still very measured. Zhuo Buhei was the most comfortable, and they picked every day. The three of them took turns sitting.

Zhuo Yan: ...Six.

This year, the lion man was the first to arrive at the market as usual. Alai was already a big girl. After arriving, he happily looked for Zhuo Le and Tiger. As for Zhuo Kang, after she turned into a human form, Zhuo Kang was still in the form of a beast. , Alai unknowingly played better with Zhuo Le and the others.

Also because Zhuo Kang plays with Blizzard every time.

"You have become an orc!" Alai was very excited and took Zhuo Le's hand. "When did it happen?"

Zhuo Le: "Not long ago, did you want to sit on my back? I will take you for a walk. "

Okay, okay."

Tiger also came over, "Let's go together, I'll call Feng Chi.

"

"I know,"

they ran out to play again.

The Lion Clan went to the rest area to settle down as usual. Zhuo Yan and the Lion Clan Chief were chatting, talking about last winter. The Lion Clan Chief's brows were all knitted together, "...the snow is getting heavier. I have never seen such cold snow. Ji, luckily there is charcoal, the door of the house is closed, and there are windows. How are you?"

"The weaving house collapsed, but the cave is okay." Zhuo Yan thought for a moment and said, "There are fewer preys near our tribe. ."

The lion man clan leader opened his eyes slightly and said solemnly: "We are too."

Sure enough.

"A few people from Gehu went to the Yuren tribe to dig needle trees. Yingren was seriously injured after that, and the tribe has not recovered yet. I heard that a batch of cubs from the three tribes of the Eaglemen, Yanren, and Golden Heads died in winter. ." The lion-man clan chief sighed.

Zhuo Yan remembered that more than four years ago, when he went to the Lion Man tribe, when he talked about the feathered people spending the winter to keep out the cold, the Lion Man clan leader was very angry and said that he deserved it. However, in just a few years, the Lion Man clan leader's attitude was somewhat different from before.

Maybe in front of severe and harsh natural weather, it was a cub that died, so he was somewhat soft and sympathetic. Zhuo Yan also sighed.

The tiger tribe arrived the next morning. Hawa mentioned that last winter, a cub in their tribe had frostbite on its front paws and was now walking with a slight limp -

"The wings of a short-legged beast."

Hawa shook his head, "We searched all around the tribe. "

The Werewolf Clan was the last to arrive, and the situation was the worst. Just looking at the face of the Werewolf Clan leader, he felt that he had changed a lot, as if he had aged more than ten years. Last winter, their tribe had the most deaths. There were cubs, old men, and orcs, more than a dozen dead.

"How could it be so serious?" Hawa looked over in shock.

The same is true for the lion-man clan leader. Although they feel that the weather is getting colder and there are fewer prey, the casualties are not so serious. "Is it a beast tide?" "

No, no, the beast tide has not come for several years." said the werewolf clan leader.

Zhuo Yan heard "The beast tide hasn't come for several years" and didn't know why. His brows jumped and he calculated carefully. The last beast tide was three years ago. That time, there were so many red-eyed leopards that it was almost crazy. Although every time the beast tide came, it was almost crazy. It was crazy, but that time was particularly different. They were fighting to the death. If their tribe hadn't repaired all the wooden doors and replaced them with iron hinges, people would have been killed or injured.

"...The cave collapsed."

Zhuo Yan was in a daze for a moment and looked at the werewolf clan leader, "Did you just say that the cave collapsed?"

"Yes, a cave collapsed this year." The werewolf clan leader said it in pain, "I don't know. Why, why did it collapse? So many tribesmen were buried underneath. It was very cold and the snow was heavy. We dug for a long time..."

The werewolves lived collectively in large caves for the winter.

When the leaders of the three tribes heard what happened in the werewolf tribe, they all looked solemn, especially Zhuo Yan, who looked ugly. He thought of the dream -

the other chiefs thought Zhuo Yan was afraid. After all, the werewolves and leopards were very close, and they all lived there in winter. Cave, but they don't know how to 'comfort'. Living on this continent, everyone used to live one day at a time, and they would not be afraid when death came.

But I don't know why, but now I'm a little afraid of death.

Things are obviously getting better...

At this year's fair, the werewolf tribe was a little depressed. Zhuo Yan discussed with the other two tribes and, in the name of the collective tribe, gave the werewolf tribe some clothes, iron tools, and food such as peanuts and yellow rice.

"Thank you, thank you to the three clans." The werewolf clan leader's eyes were red.

Zhuo Yan and the other two didn't say much.

I'm afraid the days to come will be even more difficult... Hava of the Khajiit tribe thought. The short-legged beast is gone. Where did it go? It was obviously near the tribe before, but now it can't be found no matter how hard it is looked for.

This year's fair ended in a hurry.

The orcs went to the mammoth territory to get salt mud. When Ah Yin came back, he found his brother and said, "Brother, more than half of the water in the lake over there is missing, and there are also a lot fewer mammoths. They seem to be going somewhere else."

Zhuo Yan said tightly . Frowning tightly.

He always felt that something was about to happen, but he didn't know what it was - that feeling of panic and uneasiness.

In the past, crops would mature before the market, but this year they did not mature until before the rainy season.

Zhuo Yan organized the tribesmen to collect the land. At the same time, the weather was hot and the salt was drying up. At the same time, he asked Ah Yin to take the people to the mammoth territory to see again -

"By the way, bring back some salt mud."

Ah Yin glanced at his brother. , nodded without asking the reason, nor did he say that the tribe's salt mud was enough to eat this year.

With the keen intuition of animals, Ah Yin also noticed something was wrong at this time.

Ah Yin and the orcs had only been out for two days, and the rainy season had come early. Lightning and thunder were heard over the entire tribe. Zhuo Le and the others were hiding in the cave. There was a rumbling and rattling sound outside, and Yazhu and his son were trembling with fear.

"Dad, it's so scary, the sky seems to be cracking." Zhuo Buhei said and ran to his father's side.

Zhuo Kang's beastly shape walked to his father's feet and lay down.

Zhuo Yan looked at the pouring rain and bursts of thunder outside, his heart beating fast.

"Dad, you are worried about me, why don't I go and take a look."

"Bring me back to Zhuo Le." Zhuo Yan said, his face a little pale, and his tone was stiff and serious for the first time.

During this period, Zhuo Le was very happy and majestic as an orc. She felt that she was omnipotent and would become one of the strongest orcs in the tribe. But now, she was a little...scared. Zhuo Le walked to his father and turned into an animal form, as if the animal form was powerful, could give him a sense of security, and could protect his father.

Zhuo Yan touched the heads of the three cubs.

The seasons have changed.

The snow season is long and the rainy season is ahead of schedule. I don't know what will happen in the future. What scares me the most is the unpredictability of the future, and this direction will only make things worse.

It rained for five whole days, and the river water swelled so high that it was no longer possible to tell which field was which in the fields—fortunately, the harvest was over. Ah Yin and the others haven't come back yet, and Zhuo Yan is very anxious, because he had another dream last night, in which a thunderstorm struck the forest, and a bush fire began. Even such heavy rain did not extinguish the entire fire, and even spread.

On the seventh day, the rain stopped.

Looking out from the entrance of the cave, the river flooded the climbing frame cat house.

Fortunately, the rain stopped, and it did not rain again. On the tenth day, Ah Yin came back with the orcs. The hairs of Ah Hui, A Tou, A Ri, Maha, Dian and Dan were all covered in mud. Looking carefully, Ah Yin and Ma The hair on your body is still a little anxious?

Ah Yin's hair is silver, which is particularly conspicuous.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Yan asked anxiously.

Ah Yin Yiwu Shi said: "We were halfway through the run, and it started to rain. Then when we arrived at the Mammoth Territory Forest, there was a fire in the forest there. Fortunately, we ran fast and took shelter by the lake..."

Kong Luye said Looking at Maha, Maha said stupidly that it was okay.

"It's just that my hair was scratching. If uncle hadn't pushed me away, it would be fine. Don't cry." Maha started to panic.

Why did Kong Lu cry? But she cried so beautifully.

Wait for everyone to go back to their respective caves to rest.

Zhuo Yan helped A Yin clean the wound. A Yin held his hand and said seriously: "Brother, the lake water is a lot less. Even if it rains, the lake water is very little. It is less than half of the last time I went there. Then I didn't see a single mammoth."

"They all ran away."

Chapter 109

The rainy season is very short, only seven days, but the rainfall is the same as before - even more than before, because the tribe has not been flooded in the previous rainy seasons. If the caves were not located at high locations and were built on the mountainside, It's very dangerous.

The weaving house was flooded.

The ramie silk was somewhat moldy, which made Kong Xingxing and others feel distressed. As soon as the weather cleared, they took it out to dry, saying that they would start weaving as soon as it was dry.

"There's no rush."

​​Kong Xingxing looked at Zhuo Yan, a little surprised. Is there no rush now? It's not like Zhuo Yan.

Zhuo Yan didn't say anything - because he couldn't explain clearly, but the 'bad' feeling became more and more real, like a knife hanging over his head. He knew it would fall, but didn't know when it would fall.

He can run, but to where?

The Tiger Tribe, the Werewolf Tribe, the Lion Tribe, and even the Yu Men have problems. Do they have to climb over the Yu Men's winding mountains? What's on the other side of the mountain?

He stood there and looked at the back mountain not far away, thinking of the heavy snowfall and cave collapse in his dream. There was not much vegetation in the back mountain of their tribe, and the trees were not very tall. After the heavy rain some time ago, some mud and water washed away When we came down, the whole tribe was dirty and messy.

Worse - that feeling.

"Don't worry about the ramie thread. Don't go to the weaving house recently and let it dry out." Zhuo Yan finally said.

Kong Xingxing nodded, and he probably understood. Zhuo Yan was afraid that the house would collapse again. This was true. It had collapsed once during the snow season before it was repaired. It also encountered heavy rain. There was a lot of rain in this year's rainy season...

The rain soaked the entire tribe, even the sun. It was gloomy when we came out. Even more than half a month later, the ground was still very muddy. The fields were soaked in water and there were small puddles. The sub-orcs were a little panicked. If the ground was not dry, they would miss farming. What would they eat in winter?

Ah Yin took most of the orcs in the tribe to hunt.

Zhuo Yan stood up and asked the clansmen to boil salt - the ones that A Yin brought back. Although the salt was enough to eat, it was more stable to have work than to be idle. When the sub-orcs saw the clan leader asking them to work, they Those uneasinesses got slightly better.

But it would take several days for the orcs who went out to hunt to bring back some thin horned sheep and reindeer. Compared to the past, the prey was becoming less and less - as if they suddenly ran away.

The atmosphere in the tribe was not very good. The sub-orcs showed a bit of fear on their faces, but they didn't know what to do. Until ten days later, the hunting team came back and hunted a gray elephant. Although this gray elephant had leg problems and was a little thin, it was really a big prey for the tribe.

The tribesmen cheered again.

Zhuo Yan noticed that A Yin didn't look well. After dividing the meat, he told the tribe: "There have been fewer preys recently. We have stored food in the cave. If we can't finish the meat, we will make bacon and dry it."

"Okay, Got it, Patriarch!"

"We know."

"I also think it's better to leave some meat."

Everyone was convinced by the Patriarch's words. It wasn't

until he returned to the cave that Ah Yin said: "This gray elephant was alone, so we were able to catch it. I also followed the trail to the gray elephant's territory, and there was no gray elephant there anymore."

"The animals are all gone. "

Large animals have all evacuated. Now there are only some weak herbivores left on this continent, such as horned sheep, toothed pigs, and reindeer. They feel fear and uneasiness but don't know where to go, or they are attacked by predators while fleeing in panic. Chewed.

Ah Yin saw many such things while hunting.

Zhuo Yan felt that they were just like those weak and helpless animals before facing unknown natural disasters -

"Brother, are we leaving?"

"Where to go." Zhuo Yan frowned and asked A Yin, who was also asking himself. , Where can I go now? If I leave, I will definitely not be able to go to the territory of the other three tribes, which is the mountain of Fanyu people...

Maybe Zhuo Yan has been thinking about the question of 'where to go' that night, so that night he I had a dream. In the dream, the floods were raging into the sky, the sun and the moon were dim, and I couldn't tell the difference between day and night. The earth was shaking. I looked at the fire, the sky was filled with fire, and the chasm on the ground. I couldn't tell the difference between heaven and earth. They were devouring this land like a giant beast. All things, many birds fluttered their wings high but were hit by falling trees, or were knocked into the sea by rolling waves. The birds that narrowly escaped were hovering in the sky, with heavy rain and snow, and no place to stay. They died of exhaustion and fell into the abyss...

Zhuo Yan was sweating profusely on his forehead. He was immersed in his dream. He wanted to struggle, but he saw familiar faces in the clan buried in the heavy snow, and saw A Yin protecting him. He and the child were pressed under the mountain, and saw the tiger man sleeping, the big tree falling to the ground, being smashed to death, and burning to death, and seeing the werewolf and the leopard man...

The lion people were poured in by the sea water, washed away and engulfed...

He Gao He called the name of his lover, child, and friend, but no one responded. Until a long, long time, I don't know how many days it burned, and how long the dark days passed. The first ray of dawn shone on this land, and there was still a touch of green, just leaves. Dry and scorched, only the top is a little green, standing there tenaciously.

One pair of eyes, many eyes, looked at him wetly...

"Brother, brother." Ah Yin shouted urgently in a low voice.

Zhuo Yan opened his eyes, his face full of tears, and his expression was still immersed in the fear in his dream. A Yin gently stroked his cheek and wiped away his tears.

"You're dreaming again."

Zhuo Yan hummed, only to realize that his voice was hoarse. When he turned around, the children around him looked at him worriedly. Ah Yin didn't say it was just a dream this time. When his brother first had a dream, he comforted him like this, but now, he actually believed it.

If you can't survive, then stay together as a family. He will do his best to protect his brother and children.

Zhuo Yan grabbed A Yin's arm tightly. He saw the tenacity in A Yin's eyes, which was exactly the same as the look in A Yin's eyes when he rushed towards them and protected them under him in the dream.

"I, I saw, if the dream is true, there is still a glimmer of hope." That last touch of green, those wet eyes, this dream was a warning -

A Yin looked at his brother.

Zhuo Yan: "Snow Deer Mountain, it's finally dawn. Those wet eyes are snow deer. Mixed with panic and fear, but still alive are those snow deer."

"A Yin, in the dream the snow crushed the cave, and we were trapped Buried, it's snow season, we don't have much time."

Before, he had been feeling uneasy and more and more afraid of the 'unknown', but now there were reminders in the dream that those snow deer were last seen, and the last touch of green on the top was still tenacious. Instead of living uneasily in fear every day, he chose to gamble once and believe in a dream.

If God really wanted them to die, he wouldn't have warned them again and again.

If it was false, Snow Lu Mountain had hot springs and it wouldn't be too cold - they could be prepared.

At this moment, Zhuo Yan was thinking a lot and couldn't sleep at all. He grabbed A Yin's arm and said, "We have to prepare food and water, because a long, long time has passed in the dream."

The dark night of despair finally ushered in breaking Dawn.

"We also need to tell the other three tribes, as well as the Yuren."

The cubs listened to their father's words, a little confused and uneasy, but they believed in their father.

"The Yuren have to tell the peacocks to go." Zhuo Yan thought of the birds in his dream that were burned to death from exhaustion, and he felt endless despair. They obviously had wings and flew high in the sky, thinking they had escaped disaster, but he didn't expect that they couldn't wave their wings in the end.

"The werewolves were buried in the snow just like us, and the mountains collapsed. The tiger tribe's forest was in fire, and the trees collapsed. They were smashed to death and burned alive. The feathered and lion tribe were drowned by the sea water and were burned to death,"

Zhuo Yan said . He said a lot in one breath, finishing everything he remembered from his dream. Ah Yin felt terrible just listening to it. He hugged his brother tightly, and the children gathered around him.

That night, the family sat until dawn, and the first ray of sunlight shone into the cave entrance.

Zhuo Yan also calmed down from his nightmare, took A Yin's hand and said, "Let's make preparations in the tribe first, so that everyone will not be uneasy about someone else. We used last year's snow season as an excuse to prepare and store food early this year."

" The three tribes of tigers, werewolves, and lions have to send out messages at the same time. "

Because the snow season is really going to be early, as it was last year, Zhuo Yan didn't dare to say 'it's still early.'

"You inform the orcs you trust and need them to spread the news. When you come back, I will inform the tribe and start heading to Snow Deer Mountain. We have to climb to the top of the mountain, settle down, and move supplies."

"We will do both at the same time. You go When notifying other tribes, I prepared food, seeds, leather, cloth, salt in the tribe..."

A Yin glanced at his brother reluctantly, and then looked at the child, Zhuo Kang, Zhuo Le, Zhuo Buhei's three faces were firm and brave, They will protect Dad. Ah Yin nodded and said: "I'm going to the Lion Clan, which is the farthest. There are also Yu Men. I'll inform them as well."

"Tell them, don't leave ink marks, just bring seeds, skins, salt, and some food. You must hurry up. " , you must come back early -" Zhuo Yan looked at A Yin, "If no one believes them, or there is civil strife in the clan, you will come back."

"I know, brother."

The rare bright sun on this day shone warmly on the ground. Yes, the tribesmen were very happy and said: "The sun is getting stronger and the puddles in the ground have dried up, so we can plant potatoes!"

"Great!"

"I don't know if it's too late."

"It's probably still early. , The rainy season used to be long, but this year the rainy season is shorter, plant it first, or harvest it later, and wait until the snow season comes."

"That's right."

The Yaorcs looked at the bright sun and were very happy, discussing the planting plan. When Zhuo Yan went out, everyone greeted him. Zhuo Yan tried his best to maintain a smile and said, "When you see Qiao Xiaoxian, tell them to look for me at the door of the textile house." "

I know the patriarch."

A Bai waited for the patriarch to leave. , even stopped working, and ran to the back to call Qiao and Xiaoxian first, telling them that the patriarch was looking for them.

"Is there something wrong?", "It must be the weather has cleared up after the rainy season, and the tribe is storing food.", "Maybe it's about farming.", "Yes, we have all thought of it, and the clan leader must be worried about it too. La."

The others continued making bacon.

Zhuo Yan found the stone. Maybe his face looked a little ugly - he tried his best to maintain a smile when facing the tribesmen, but when he turned his back, he couldn't smile anymore.

"What's wrong?" Shitou asked.

Zhuo Yan said he would wait for people to come, "You ask the Kong Xingxing family, as well as Da En and A Man."

"Okay." Shitou hurriedly ran to call for people.

After a while, everyone in the open square of the Textile House arrived.

"At the end of the snow season last year, I told Shitou Amanqiao Xiaoxian that I had nightmares for half a month." Without waiting for a few people to answer, Zhuo Yan finished speaking in one breath: "The climate is chaotic, and the lake water in the mammoth territory has dried up a lot. Mammoths All the gray elephants ran away. The gray elephant we hunted yesterday was thrown away by the large army because of its injury. Now the remaining ones on the grassland are weak. They don't know where they are running. "

"They are all running for their lives. ."

Dan actually knew that he felt something. He also followed the hunt. He was a little scared at this time. He was afraid of what the patriarch would say next, but knowing this was very important and might save his life.

"I dreamed again last night..."

Zhuo Yan told the dream about the four grassland tribes and how the feather people died, "Dane, you go to the tiger tribe to deliver the message, A Yin will go to the lion tribe, and Maha will go Yuren Mountain, Kong Xingxing, you go find the Yuren Clan."

Kong Xingxing said yes as everyone looked solemn.

"Tell them the news. I don't care what you say. Even if I have been to the Tree of Life, let them come as soon as possible. Don't delay or stay. I don't know when the snow season will come early. Tell them that the tribe is alive and other things can be done." Keep going, just bring the cubs and food."

"If no one believes you, come back as soon as possible."

Ah Yin found Ah Hui, Ah Tou, Da Ya, and Ma Ha. The last two orcs went to inform them in pairs, fearing that they would encounter accidents on the way. Ah Tou and Ah Hui went to the werewolf tribe, and Daya Dan went to the tiger tribe. Maha, Ada and Ayin went to the Lion Tribe and Yuren Mountain together.

Inform the four Yuren tribes that except Kong Xingxing, Kong Huo and the other four are going -

"Kong Xingxing's temper, especially the rifts he made before, those people don't believe Kong It's useless to say it angrily."

"Why don't we all go, and the four tribes can run away?"

"Yes, we can stay in our original form and won't take up any space."

"Xiaoyue, you stay here. "Kong Xingxing looked at his brother, "Stay."

Kong Yue originally opened his mouth, but he could only nod when facing his brother's serious look. He followed the arrangement, "Brother, you must come back."

"I know. The four tribes don't believe it, we can run faster than them, don't worry." Kong Xingxing comforted his brother, but actually looked at Shitou.

Stone nodded.

These people were surprised and confused at first, but in the end they firmly believed in what the patriarch and his companions said. On this day, the reporting team set off.

Maha and Ada had rattan baskets tied to their bodies, and with the help of Qiao and Shitou, the five peacocks turned into their original shapes and fell inside. Everyone rushed away in unison. Such a big movement naturally aroused curiosity among the tribesmen.

Zhuo Yan said: "Regarding winter matters, send a message to other tribes. Plant potatoes this year." He felt that it was too late, but if he didn't plant them, the tribesmen would be even more uneasy.

Working now is a kind of spiritual comfort. The tribesmen will feel safe. They will plant seeds in the ground and harvest a large number of potatoes before the snow season. Everyone will have enough to eat and not go hungry.

Sure enough, as soon as this was said, everyone focused their attention on the farming, and no more questions were asked - anyway, the clan leader had arrangements for it, and if there was anything new, they would definitely know it later.

Everyone thought Zhuo Yan had come up with something new for winter.

However, those who are attentive will find that the tribe has been a little impetuous and different recently. At least Zhuo Le and others are not very playful. They no longer play in the mountains, ramie fields, and outside the tribe. They are much quieter and will go to the ground with everyone. , can take care of the cubs, laugh and have fun like never before.

When someone said this, other sub-orcs would laugh and say: "Lele and the others have grown up.", "A lot quieter.", "Still lively and lively."

Zhuo Yan was counting the supplies in the cave. Fortunately, they There is a lot of salt, and there is a surplus every year in the past few years. This year, there is an extra pot of salt, leather, linen, some iron hinges and iron knives, but there is no food.

Since he became the clan leader, no one has lived in the big cave, and it has been used to store sundries, including racks for drying meat, wooden boards, pottery, stone pots, transparent buckets, etc.

Werewolf tribe.

Ah Hui and Ah Tou were the first to arrive at the werewolf tribe. The werewolf tribe was in a state of sadness. Because of the rainy season, their tribe was also flooded. The large caves in their tribe were built on water. With the rain, the two large caves near the stream were all flooded, and one of them even collapsed.

After the werewolves came back from the market, they were really busy.

"Are you here? Is there something wrong with the Leopard Man?" the werewolf clan leader asked.

A Toujie became much calmer after his partner had a cub. He looked around and saw that all the werewolf tribe members were there, so he said, "Our tribe leader asked us to deliver the message. Can the werewolf tribe chief find a place to say it?"

"Yeah. "Then you follow me." The werewolf leader was also worried and his mind was a little slow. He took the two of them to a place and asked what was going on.

A Tou told the story exactly as the clan leader told him.

"Our clan leader has been to the Tree of Life. I recently had a dream that there is a huge disaster on this continent. Our two clans will be crushed by the snow..."

After hearing this, the werewolf clan leader had a sad face, shocked, surprised and disbelieving. After looking at the two of them, "Zhuo Yan—did your clan leader ask you to tell him?"

"Yes." Ah Hui said in a hurry, "Our clan leader said that everyone should quickly pack up food, salt, and warm skins and move in as soon as possible. Snow Deer Mountain."

The werewolf clan leader was silent for a while and asked again, is that really the case?

...

the Khajiit tribe.

Dahn arrived a few days later with Da Ya, and the two of them ran wildly without much rest, and there were very few prey along the way. Daya took Dane to catch a grass rat, and while he was chewing it, he couldn't help but smile. Before Dann could ask, he said, "I thought of Ah Yin. When we went to find salt with that boy, that boy would eat this. "

I disliked it very much at that time, but now..."

Big Tooth finished nibbling, stretched out his paws to dig into the hole, squinted his eyes, and touched it. Hey, he threw one to Dan and said, "It actually tastes pretty good." "It can quench our thirst."

"We can always survive. The patriarch took us to find salt and had this dream again. God still left us a way to survive."

Dan frowned tightly and gnawed on the grass rat. , did not let go, but hummed heavily.

"There used to be a lot of prey here..." But now we can only find grass rats.

They arrived at the Khajiit tribe. Aunt Carol was very happy and stuffed them with dried fruits. "What happened to Da En? Why have you lost so much weight? Eat something quickly."

Da En and Da Ya bit the walnut skin with their teeth, maybe because of Da Ya's words. Words: God left them a way to survive. Although Dan was still on tenterhooks, he was slightly more relieved than before. While devouring walnuts, he asked, "Where is the Hawa chief?"

"Going hunting." When Carol said this, she frowned, "The prey has become more and more popular recently. It's getting harder and harder to catch."

Da En paused, "How long have they been there?"

"It's only been two days."

Da Ya frowned.

Aoun noticed that he and Carol Abby had lived in the Leopard People for more than half a year, and they were very kind to the Leopard People - just didn't show it on their faces. At this time, he said: "What's the matter? We can tell the leader, if you If you're in a hurry, you can go back first."

"No, in which direction did they go?" Da Ya asked.

Carol was stunned and shook her head, "We don't know."

"Even if we know the direction of the outing, hunting has been difficult recently. You are orcs. You should know that you may go to other places based on the traces of prey." Aoun said .

Daya and Dan looked at each other, then they looked at Carol Aoun and went to a remote place. Dan spoke out the words of the patriarch Zhuo Yan. Carol covered her mouth in disbelief, and Aoun also frowned.

This matter is so big that they can't make a decision at all.

...

The stretching mountains can be seen in the distance. Ayin and Adamaha parted ways. Ayin went to the Lion Clan. Before leaving, he said: "I will find you when I leave, as soon as possible."

"Ouch!" Ada shouted, knowing that he was also worried about Qiao and Feng Chime.

Ah Yin went to the Lion Tribe alone. The Lion Tribe sub-orcs were wearing cotton-padded clothes and long sleeves, carrying bundles of bamboo. They planned to split the bamboo and tie it in a circle outside the house. This should be stronger and keep warm.

There are not many orcs in the tribe, only a few patrolling orcs - this is always the case before winter, when the orcs are out hunting. The orcs were surprised when they saw Ah Yin coming, and invited Ah Yin in.

"...But our clan leader was injured a few days ago, so he didn't go out hunting and was still in the tribe."

A Yin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It's good that the lion clan leader is here.

...

Feathered People.

Maha and Ada entered from the entrance of the market, and five peacocks poked their heads out. Their hair was wilted from the bumps along the way. They just saw that the previous market was very dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and built with bamboo. The house was in a dilapidated state, and Kong Xingxing's former shop was submerged in weeds. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that there used to be a shop with a beautiful garden inside.

The birds on the branches were chirping.

"The orcs are coming! The orcs are coming!"

"It's not a tiger, is it?" "

It looks like a leopard."

"Look, there's a peacock!"

"Is Kong Xingxing—"

"Who is Kong Xingxing?"

"You're stupid, He was the former leader of the Peacock Clan.

"Aren't the last few peacocks dead?"

Kong Xingxing couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in the sky: "Quack..." Forget it. Come on, tell all of you adults to come out and say that Kong Xingxing is back.

Soon the few young birds hovering in the air flapped their wings and went to find the adults.

The Feathered Market seemed to be alive again at this moment, but it was in ruins everywhere. It only survived temporarily. The first people to arrive were the original Peacock tribe - even if they were hesitant to hear the news from the cubs, they ran away The fastest.

Go check it out, maybe it's true.

Maybe the clan leader really is back.

Now I looked at the five peacocks on the ground. They hadn't seen the patriarch for many years, as well as Kong Huo, Kong Lu, Kong Yu, and Kong Yuan. They suddenly became excited.

They waved their big wings, almost dragging them over, and their partners, the golden-headed tribe, the geese, the eagles - and the eagles.

The peacocks were very close and very excited. The other tribes, especially the eagle people, flew in mid-air and found a high branch to stop. They stared at the leopards below with vigilance. In fact, their eyes were full of fear. That year the tiger people The shadow is still there after hurting them.

Kong Xingxing turned into a human and looked at his tribe members one by one.

"Chief, you have become—"

Kong Xingxing said, "Don't say anything I don't like to hear."

"Hehe, you haven't changed, you are still so beautiful." The tribesman changed his words with a silly smile.

"You have changed, you have become stupid. Did you go to Yanren Mountain to seek a living? Where is your cub? That gray wild goose flying in the air behind you? Tsk."

Kong Huo and the others: ...

But the peacock was mentioned I was so happy that my eyes even turned red, and I nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I look like their grandma."

"I didn't expect you would still remember me, clan leader."

Kong Xingxing actually couldn't remember his name, but the strange thing was that he remembered this face and the faces behind it. He remembered all the Peacock clan members. This person went After arriving at Yanren Mountain, the one went to the Golden Head Clan, and the three standing there stupidly went to the Eagle Clan. The one who was farthest away from him and dared not come over but only dared to cry went to the Eagle Clan, which he hated the most.

He clicked on them one by one, saying which tribe you lived in...

No one was right, and he remembered them all.

The eyes of Kong Huo and the four others were also red, and Kong Lu silently wiped his tears. They underestimated Kong Xingxing. In fact, it is not the case, because these people have been living with Kong Xingxing. From the past in Peacock Mountain to the current Leopard People, they accompany each other day and night, making jokes and teasing each other.

The peacocks who were left in Yuren Mountain had not seen their clan leader for seven or eight years.

Memory is also powerful sometimes. In the past, Kong Xingxing was annoying, his words were unpleasant, and he would be afraid. But as time goes by, the memory will automatically beautify the Peacock Clan leader - because some peacocks have a hard time in the mountains of other clans. , was bullied by words, and now seeing the boss of the clan, he naturally felt a sense of grievance and dependence.

Kong Xingxing shocked the peacocks present, and several others came one after another - because they flew slowly, they received the information later.

These peacocks also have their mates - all four tribes. When some of the clan leaders of the four tribes heard that Kong Xingxing was sent by orcs, they were very wary and wanted to see what these orcs wanted to do.

Kong Xingxing said: "Soon, there will be a huge disaster on this continent. The mountains where you live will catch fire, the sea water will pour in, and you will all be drowned and burned to death. This time I will bring Kong Huo and four others.

"I mean, you, as peacocks, and your companions and cubs, please come with me. The other four tribes will not come." Kong

Lu grabbed Kong Huo and signaled with his eyes. , don't speak yet.

On the way here, they had said that they would try their best to persuade all Yumen to join the Leopard People - but now Kong Xingxing must have a reason for saying so.

Yingren was most on guard, actually out of fear. Hearing this, he said loudly: "I know, Kong Xingxing, you took Kong Huo and the others to the Leopard People. Now you want to deceive us and trick us into going to the orcs. Kill us all!"

Kong Xingxing looked at the eagle man flying high in the sky.

He just said that he hates Yingren the most!

Chapter 110

When Kong Xingxing faced the accusation from the Eagle Man, he just 'returned to his old business' - looked at the other person with his nostrils from a high position, and said contemptuously: "Eagle Man, go or not, you deserve to freeze to death."

"You!"

Yingren was furious.

Kong Xingxing didn't care, he didn't even look at the other party.

The Peacock and the other four tribesmen at the scene were a little shaken by Yingren's words just now, but before they could think clearly, Kong Xingxing's nostrils looked at the tone of mocking Yingren, and the wavering disappeared immediately.

Because Kong Xingxing, the leader of the Peacock Tribe, is not that kind of person - as for who Kong Xingxing is, under the filter, he is: beautiful, noble and leisurely. To tell the truth, he is lazy, venomous, and looks down on everyone in an equal and random manner.

Kong Xingxing, like this, would conspire with the orcs to kill them?

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like nonsense. It's impossible - Kong Xingxing doesn't even want to give a look or say a word to someone who Kong Xingxing doesn't like. He will also find a way to spend so much time to come over and tell everyone a lot of words. People go over and kill?

Who believes it?

The Eagle Man was so frightened by the Tiger Man that all he could think about was fighting and killing.

Kong Xingxing looked at the peacocks present. They were able to fumble and fly over with their big wings. Peacocks originally flew slowly. Being able to hear them coming back and fly over first showed that they still listened to and cared about them.

"What I said is true. In the past few years, the Yuren Market has not been open, and no orcs have gone there. Anyone who is not stupid should know that the orcs have salt to eat, and there is no need for the Yuren to go to the beach to carry salt. In the past few years, you have followed other people You know in your heart what kind of life the four tribes are living, whether it is good or bad. If it were not for the disaster that would happen soon and everyone would die, I would not bother to make such a trip and come to tell you to leave here with me."

The peacocks' eyes were slightly red . , some moved their mouths, wanting to express

their sadness and grievances - "Stop it, I don't like to hear the complaints and complaints."

Kong Xingxing was straightforward, he didn't listen to these. In the beginning, I chose the mountain top to live my life. I had grievances and hard work. Don't tell him. Time is so short. Did he, a clan leader, come here to hear this?

Even if a three-month-old cub of the Leopard Tribe loses a fight, he will not complain to an adult about his grievances.

"Kong Huo, the four of you are going to find the peacocks. They still have cubs and mates. Those who can fly should follow them by themselves. Those who can't fly should sit in rattan baskets." Kong Xingxing said directly.

There was a peacock that moved its beak and wanted to ask, 'Are you really going?', 'How did you know there was a danger or disaster?', 'Are we just going to leave like this?', 'Are we really going to leave?' It was probably this kind of hesitation and uncertainty. question, but Kong Xingxing didn't give him a chance to speak.

"All the peacocks are going. I don't care if the other four tribes die or not. As I said, they won't survive this winter. But I am the leader of the peacock tribe. You are still peacocks. I don't care. If you really don't want to go, you have to stay here and wait to die." "Yes, then don't come up to me and say you want to die. I don't want to hear it. I love you to death." Kong Xingxing's words were unpleasant.

But just because it was so arbitrary and unpleasant, the peacocks who were confused and hesitant were pushed by Kong Huo and the four others to take the next step - just pack up the cubs and gather here.

The other four tribes who came to join in the fun were very angry after hearing what Kong Xingxing said. Why did Kong Xingxing curse them? Why did Kong Xingxing speak so harshly? Why can't they survive this winter? But when they went back to complain to their tribesmen, they were also a little scared. fear.

Because Kong Xingxing only cares about peacocks, is there really a disaster?

"Kong Xingxing and Kong Huo only took the peacocks with them."

"You forgot last year's snow season. The snow was so heavy and cold that three of my cubs froze to death. Is it really like what Kong Xingxing said this year?" "

But? I've heard from the Leopard Tribe that it's also very cold in winter there."

"But the Leopard Tribe has skins and lives in caves. I went to the Lion Tribe and saw that the Leopard Tribe found the salt and the clothes that the Lion Tribe wore... ..."

The more the four tribes talked, the more panicked and frightened they became. If Kong Xingxing urged them, they might believe what the Eagle Man said: Was Kong Xingxing going to take them away and kill them in a pot? But now Kong Xingxing and the others only care about the peacocks - there is a sense that when a disaster is approaching, they only care about and protect the close clan members. Who among the other four clans will not be afraid when they see them?

"Don't you see that there are only two orcs, and Kong Xingxing and the others are not allowed to take anything with them!"

"Does that mean we can't sit down?" "

But we have wings."

"But Kong Xingxing is not willing to take us."

" I'll ask Kong Huo, I've talked to him before." "

No, why do you really believe it? What if the Leopard People are also cold?" "

What?

Let's go find the clan leader and ask him what he said. "

Kong Xingxing and others were at the market. They randomly found a shop that seemed to be sheltered from the wind and went in. They didn't clean up - they were too upset and in no mood to clean up. They are waiting for their tribe members and A Yin to come to them. They don't know what the situation is like with the Lion Tribe.

After a short while, the peacocks arrived with their mates and cubs. Not all of them came. There were also three peacocks who didn't come. Kong Huo replied.

"There is one from the Yingren tribe, and two from the Eagle tribe."

Kong Xingxing frowned, and Kong Huo said, "Should I urge you again?"

Soon someone outside whispered, "Kong Huo? Kong Huo?" Kong Huo

? Xingxing waved his hand, letting Kong Huo deal with things outside first. He sat on the dirty ground, frowning and thinking about things. When Kong Huo went out, he

was accompanied by the other four tribesmen. He opened his mouth and asked randomly, "Is there really a disaster?

"

It's cold, there's a lot of snow, and three of my cubs froze to death. I'm scared. I don't want the cubs and their partners to freeze to death. If we can't go there, we can fly back."

Kong Xingxing heard it from inside, and his brows relaxed slightly . But it doesn't work, it doesn't work yet, there are too few people -

the Lion Tribe tribe.

After hearing what A Yin said about the huge disaster, the lion-man clan leader frowned tightly. He - he couldn't make a decision, was it just because of a dream?

"Our clan leader has seen the Tree of Life. He had a nightmare for half a month last winter. If this thing is false, there are hot springs in Snow Deer Mountain and it can be warmer. We will all get through it. If it is true, ..." Ah Yin looked serious, "If it's true, everyone will die."

The lion man chief: "Wait a minute, I want to think about it."

"Last year, the snow season came early. I won't wait too long. Tomorrow. "I will go to Yuren Mountain tomorrow and go back with my fellow tribesmen. If you decide to leave, just take salt, skins and food with you." A Yin said.

The lion-man clan leader hurriedly said: "So fast? You will leave tomorrow -"

"I believe Zhuo Yan." A Yin said seriously and solemnly: "Danger will come at any time in advance. I want to return to Zhuo Yan as soon as possible."

Before he In his heart, his brother and the cubs are the most important. He only waits for the lion-man clan for one day and will leave tomorrow. If he goes back, he can still protect his brother if there is any danger.

...

Leopard people.

The first person Zhuo Yan saw was the werewolf clan leader. He thought that the werewolf clan would come first, after all, the werewolf tribe was close, but he never thought that the werewolf clan leader came with two orcs.

? ? ?

When I heard it later, the werewolf clan leader didn't believe what he had said, or he was hesitant to believe it - after all, the whole clan moved to Snow Deer Mountain in winter, especially in the severe cold of the snow season in previous years. This was undoubtedly not a suicide attempt.

Intellectually, Zhuo Yan knew what the werewolf leader was worried about.

During the snow season last year, Zhuo Yan had nightmares for more than half a month. He was really scared and couldn't sleep well. He and A Yin also wanted to take their children out, even to the weaving house, but they couldn't stand it once they came out of the cave - it was too cold. , there is no way he can live for a few days, he will freeze to death.

The werewolves knew the power of Xue Ji very well, so it was understandable that they didn't believe it or were afraid that they would die. Despite this, Zhuo Yan was still a little angry, because it was very urgent, and he had a premonition -

"It's very bad, very bad, the feeling of approaching danger."

The leader of the werewolf tribe said: "Snow Deer Mountain is very close to our tribe, I think, maybe It will be too late by then."

"It's too late," Zhuo Yan said firmly.

Human imagination cannot imagine such a huge natural disaster.

If you have no time to escape, no time to discern the direction, no time to survive, you will be swallowed up.

Zhuo Yan turned away from his previous gentle, good-tempered and easy-to-talk attitude, and definitely looked at the leader of the werewolf clan, "I know it's not that you don't believe me, you just don't want to risk the lives of the entire clan that my dream is true. The severe cold in the snow season for both of our clans Everyone knows that you can't survive on skin alone. "

"If you don't want the whole clan to come, then send the sub-orcs and cubs, and some orcs."

The werewolf leader was even more hesitant. The cubs were very worried. Precious and cherished.

"If the dream is true, the entire werewolf clan will die."

Hearing this, the werewolf clan leader was in a daze. He really couldn't judge or make a decision. Their clan is so close to Snow Deer Mountain... But what Zhuo Yan said Also...

"I'll go back and discuss it with the tribesmen." The werewolf leader said in the end.

Zhuo Yan frowned. At this point, he had said all he could. The leader of the werewolf clan appeared and left in a hurry, not looking very good. The Leopard Man tribe members also had some random guesses and curiosity. In order to stabilize the situation, Zhuo Yan said: "The werewolf clan was flooded in the rainy season this year, and several holes were broken. Come to me to discuss how to spend the winter."

Upon hearing this, the tribesmen nodded, that's it.

"It seems that our clan leader can't do anything.", "No wonder the werewolf clan leader looks so ugly.", "Oh, how can our clan leader help? Our clan has very little food. I don't know if the potatoes will grow this year. How can we help the werewolves?" "That's right."

"You can't blame our clan leader.

"

Even so, some orcs and sub-orcs still felt that something was wrong - especially the orcs. It's hard for them to find prey when they go out.

"The patriarch must know something, but he didn't tell us."

"Don't worry, the patriarch will tell us."

"A Tou and Hui ran away and came back. They all know, why don't you tell us?" "

Still? I told the werewolves, tigers, and lions that I saw the peacocks were gone. "

"What happened?"

...

As time goes by, except for the severe cold in winter, the other three seasons were very bright and warm. Nowadays, it is getting colder day by day, and the cold wind in the morning and evening makes people's skin hurt. Zhuo Yan is getting more and more nervous and is afraid of snow because A Yin has not come back yet.

The restlessness and impetuous mood of the clan members has also increased.

Potatoes cannot grow in the ground. They have been plucked by sub-orcs. They are only about the size of a pinky finger and are impossible to eat. In addition, the prey brought back by the hunting team are very small. During this period of time, no one dares to eat enough for fear of running out of food during the winter.

Fortunately, we also harvested a lot of peanuts and rhubarb rice in the first half of the year, as well as some gray elephants to dry their flesh.

Daya Dan is back, along with the entire Khajiit tribe. The team led by Hawa finally arrived because they had a lot of things and moved slowly. The arrival of the entire Tiger Man clan also made the Leopard Man clan uneasy about what happened.

"When we went there, Chief Hawa went out hunting. Carol and Aoun made a decision to let the tribe pack the food first and wait for Chief Hawa and the orcs to come back. After hearing what they heard, they came directly over.

" En reported the situation to the clan leader.

Hawa asked: "When will we set off to Snow Deer Mountain?"

"I have to tell my people that for the next few days, everyone should go to the weaving house and bamboo house to squeeze in." Zhuo Yan said.

Hawa nodded in understanding, "The sub-orc cubs go to the weaving house and the bamboo house, and the orcs are sleeping under the eaves at the door."

The sub-orcs of the Leopard Man tribe showed uneasiness on their faces, and they came over to look at the clan leader.

Zhuo Yan: "Go to the square, I have something to tell you."

Everyone gathered around the clan leader and marched to the square. Zhuo Le and Zhuokang protected his father, and Zhuo Buhei followed closely. He felt that Fear - not the dream that Dad said, but the people in the tribe now. Everyone looked at Dad, but when he saw the panic in the eyes of the tribe, he was a little firm.

Dad has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, and he has to protect and support him.

He can't be afraid.

In the square, all the clan members gathered in a circle.

Zhuo Yan stood in the crowd. The words "Why are the tiger people here?" and "What happened?" became quieter and quieter. Everyone became quiet, waiting for the clan leader to speak. Zhuo Yan talked about his dream during last year's snow season and the 'disaster' dream he had after the rainy season.

The crowd began to commotion, panic, panic, and fear, and there were also those who were "disobedient" and "unconvinced." It was not that they were dissatisfied with the patriarch, but that the scenes the patriarch said were too scary and tragic. They didn't want to believe that these things would happen, but they just subconsciously refuted - It's also about survival.

"...The changes in the snow season last year, the collapse of the werewolf cave, the long snow season last year for the Lion Tribe, and the sudden surge of rain during this year's rainy season. Everyone has felt the weather changes, the forest fires in the mammoth territory, and most importantly, the decrease in prey..."

"Everything is a warning."

"After I had that warning dream, I asked the orcs in my tribe to inform the tiger tribe, werewolf tribe, lion tribe, and feathered tribe."

"I am Leopard . Chief of the human race, before the snow season comes, the whole clan will move to Snow Deer Mountain, bringing only skins, salt, and seeds with them,"

Zhuo Yan finished in one breath.

The tribesmen were silent for a while at first, confused and scared... and then the situation exploded. Some people asked why they wanted to inform Yuren. Some said it was so cold in the snow season and we would freeze to death if we only brought leather skins to Snow Deer Mountain. Others said Said it was just a dream.

"It's just that you had a dream." Gu Tian repeated it again, his voice was loud, and he looked at Zhuo Yan with a sinister look, "It's a snowstorm in the snow season, you want the whole family to go to Snow Deer Mountain, you are the one who wants to kill me Everyone in the tribe."

Zhuo Yan looked back, then looked at Gu He behind Gu Tian, ​​and said calmly: "Except for you and your son, if you don't want to go, you can stay in the tribe. To be honest, I hate you and your son. You want to die. It's up to you, you have never regarded me as the clan leader, and I have not regarded you as a clan member."

"Others, I mean everyone in the clan, pack your bags, salt, skins, and food, and be ready when A Yin and the others come back. Set off."

The originally panicked clan members slowly calmed down because of the clan leader's calm but firm attitude. They believed in the clan leader - this was the clan leader who led their lives to better and better days. No one agreed with Gu Tian's words, and no one believed in Gu Tian. Tianguhe and his son.

Because of this, Zhuo Yan is calm and indifferent, and the tribe blindly chooses to believe Zhuo Yan. Gu Tian is completely furious - the last time Zhuo Yan was the tribe leader, there were orcs standing behind him, but now, Zhuo Yan just dreams, Xue Ji It came right away, no one doubted it, and they all chose Xin Zhuoyan.

Gu Tian roared like a beast and turned into an animal shape. His skin was torn open and fell to the ground. He didn't give anyone any time to react. In his leopard shape, Gu Tian pounced on Zhuo Yan. Almost at the same time, Zhuo Kang and Zhuo Le, who were guarding his father, blocked him. After passing by, two relatively young leopards blocked Gu Tian's claws.

Zhuo Yan was pulled aside by the stone Amanjo, and an orc rushed out, transforming into an animal shape -

but followed by a loud roar, a huge silver leopard jumped into the crowd.

"Uncle is back!"

"Ah Yin!"

Ah Yin roared and looked at Gu Tian, ​​and started fighting with Gu Tian angrily.

Zhuo Kang Zhuole hurriedly went to find his father. His father was back. The orcs who had originally rushed forward slowly backed away, protecting their companions and looking at the fight between A Yin and Gu Tian.

This fight seems to have been overdue for a long time.

In the past, A Yin was bullied by Gu Tian when he was a child, Zhuo Yan was questioned by Gu Tian Guhe when he was the clan leader, and he once went out hunting, but Gu Tian Guhe did not obey his orders -

Gu Tian was also holding back his anger, and his claws were fierce, but The silver leopard opposite was no longer the young leopard he had bullied when he was a child. He was bigger, more powerful and fierce. His sharp claws grabbed Gu Tian's head and stepped on Gu Tian's neck.

The claws had already penetrated into the flesh. Gu Tian struggled but couldn't get away.

"Don't-" Koga shouted.

Ah Yin did not stop her strength.

"Ah Yin." Zhuo Yan's voice.

The furious silver leopard put away its sharp claws and returned to its previous amiable appearance. Ah Yin turned to look at his brother. Zhuo Yan said: "Now everyone go back and pack your things."

"I will play the drum before setting off and gather by the river."

Gu Tian and his son will definitely not go with them.

Everyone hurried back to the cave. They had to take things with them, as well as the cubs.

Ah Yin didn't look at Gu Tian on the ground again, ran a few steps over, landed next to his brother, and turned into a human form, "The lion people and feather people are coming soon. I'll run back first to check the situation."

"Well, the tiger people are also here. , werewolf tribe -" Zhuo Yan frowned, "We should meet him in the direction of Snow Deer Mountain. Let's go back and pack our things first."

No one cared about Gu Tian on the ground, only Gu He stepped forward to help him. Gu He looked at Zhuo Yan, who ignored both father and son, and the son he despised - he could only endure this tone and take Gu Tian away.

"They will freeze to death outside if they listen to that sub-orc."

"It's already too late when the blizzard comes." When

Gu Tian heard his father's words, blood was still pouring from the corners of his mouth and neck, and he wiped it away angrily. He couldn't beat him now. That white-haired boy, but these stupid tribesmen who believe in that sub-orc will not survive this winter and will all die. When spring comes, he will go to Snow Deer Mountain to see the bodies of these people in person.

Zhuo Yan and A Yin barely ate.

Things will change later. Another point is that after spending the night and waiting for the tribe to calm down, there is no guarantee that some people will be afraid and hesitate - after all, everyone has seen winter, so they will naturally be afraid.

Zhuo Yan wants to leave immediately tonight.

After we get there, we can tidy up Snow Deer Mountain and find a place to stay.

"Kangkangle is not black. You can pack up the things at home. I won't take anything too heavy. I won't take anything like straw mats. I just need warm leather, meat and grain."

"Do you understand?"

"I understand, Dad." Zhuo Lezhuo Buhei responded, and they and their eldest brother ran back to the cave to start cleaning up. They also took Dafu and Da Ming with them. These two had been scared silly recently.

Zhuo Yan called out to the single orcs and carried the big cave things on their backs equally, especially seeds. This was very important. While he and A Yin were picking up these things, feathered men and lion men arrived one after another, and the gold falling on the treetops of the forest hovered in the air. The head clan, the geese people, the eagle people, and the eagle people.

When the eagle men saw the tiger men, they were so frightened that they fluttered their wings and flew higher and even ran away. However, they found that the tiger men did not notice them at all, and landed on the treetops in surprise.

"It's so cold."

"Those tiger men didn't see us."

"Where is Snow Deer Mountain?"

"I don't know, we are already here, so we should follow the peacocks closely."

"I'm going to find the lion men. "Follow the Lion Man."

A peacock from the Eagle Tribe and two peacocks from the Eagle Tribe found Kong Xingxing a little later. It wasn't that they didn't trust Kong Xingxing, but that their partner was strong and listened to the clan leader. They made such a fuss that their faces even got scratched, which they did themselves.

Partners love their faces.

After this, their partner agreed to come with them and the cubs on their backs - of course, they regretted it and made some complaints along the way.

But when these feathered men were flying in the sky, they often saw some animals running away wildly in groups, as if something was chasing them, but there was nothing behind them.

There were some who were doubtful, and there were those who didn't believe it but couldn't be threatened by their peacock companions and had no choice but to fly. Anyway, we finally arrived at the Leopard People.

It was already dark, and they had no time to take a look at this strange environment, the clothes, fields, wooden doors and other things of the Leopard Man tribe that the lions said. Before they could take a few breaths to rest, the Leopard Man tribe sounded a loud bang bang bang bang. Voice.

There was a sound like the ground was shaking, and many orcs ran out of it.

The orcs carried food companions and cubs on their backs. Some of the things were too much to carry, so they could only tie them to the orcs. The orcs carried too many things on their backs.

Zhuo Yan began to call the names one by one and asked Cong Luqiao to check. Just as he said, the whole clan must leave!

"Clan leaders, except Gu Tian Guhe, are all here," Qiao said.

Cong Lu: "The cub is here too."

Zhuo Yan asked: "Shitou, give half of the things you and Peacock have to Ah Yin and Da En."

"I know, my father and sister also carried some, but not much." Shitou said.

Zhuo Yan looked at Hawa. Hawa was in the shape of a tiger. It was just a tiger roar, and the tiger tribe had packed up behind it. So Zhuo Yan said: "Let's go to Snow Deer Mountain."

"Maha Tengzhi Amu Xiaofeng led the way. Ah Yin, Ah Tou, and Ah Hui are holding the humanoid and beast-shaped cubs, and the beast-shaped cubs over fifteen years old are running in the middle of the team. "

Let's go!"

The wind is very cold at night. The late moon was very big, big and bright, as if it was about to fall. The ground it illuminated was silvery and very bright. In this team, there were tigers, leopards and lions, and there were birds flying in the sky. .

Zhuo Le and Zhuo Kang were running in the middle of the team, carrying rattan baskets and leather bags with bulging bags on their backs. Zhuo Buhei and his father sat on his father's back, and his father also carried many things on his back.

The family's Dafu and Daming ran as fast as they could, following their little master.

A group of orcs set out and walked through the forest and grassland. Wherever they went, the ground shook and the mountains shook. They ran for a whole night. Zhuo Yan said that when they were resting, A Yin let out a beast roar and everyone slowed down. At dawn, the grass and trees They were all covered in frost, so everyone rested where they were.

"The leader of the lion-man clan didn't come... The lion-man clan orcs were still out hunting to prepare for the winter. The clan leader asked the orcs patrolling Gehu to bring some sub-orcs and cubs to come first. They stayed in the tribe and waited for the orcs who were out hunting to arrive before setting off. ." A Yin said.

"I can't wait any longer, so I brought people back first."

Zhuo Yan held A Yin's hand, "You did a good job." He lowered his eyes again and whispered: "You have been gone for more than a month. I haven't come back. I'm scared."

"I know."

People have selfish motives.

The moment Zhuo Yan saw A Yin appear, he didn't care about Gu Tian's questioning words. He could only feel relieved that A Yin was finally back.

At this time, the sub-orcs looked back at the way they came, and there was only a barren grassland - the tribal figures had long been invisible. There was a bit of confusion in their eyes, and they didn't know what to think, but after a rest, they had only tenacity to start again.

They can only keep up with the large army and believe the words of the clan leader.

These days, the orcs who went out to report the news were running continuously. They were very tired and had to carry heavy loads, but they still had to go. Ah Yin's hair was also dirty and tangled. Zhuo Yan sat on it and touched it distressedly.

Ah Yin smiled and snorted, deliberately teasing her brother.

He's fine, he just ran around and will be able to rest soon.

Fortunately, they went to Snow Deer Mountain very early and before it snowed - it would have been even slower if it was snowing and the road was difficult to walk. On the way there, I didn't encounter any werewolves.

At the fork.

"Clan leader, do you want me to go to the werewolf clan again to inform you?" Ah Hui asked.

Zhuo Yan shook his head, "No more delay, let's set off directly. The werewolves know the location of Snow Deer Mountain, and they will go there if they want to." No more persuasion, he only protects his own clan now, and everyone who needs to be notified has been notified.

Just leave it to fate.

Continuing on the road, even if the team grew bigger and brought a lot of things, this time the orcs would only stop to rest unless they were very tired. When they ran on the fourth day, it started to snow. Fortunately, it was just a light snowflake.

Zhuo Yan felt relieved.

On the sixth day, we arrived at Snow Deer Mountain. The familiar greenery on the top of Snow Deer Mountain is lush and lush. Zhuo Yan said: "Everyone, go to the top of the mountain. That green top of the mountain. The orcs will clear the way in front. The sub-orcs will carry food on their backs and walk."

This can reduce weight and make it easier for the orcs. Explore and clear the way ahead.

There is only one mountain in Snow Deer Mountain, which seems to suddenly appear from the ground. It is tall, straight and a bit steep. It is difficult for the orcs and sub-orcs to climb higher. But at this time, the feathered people have the advantage and quickly fly to the top of the mountain.

"We will help you carry your things." Yanren said.

Eagle Man: "We have big wings, we can carry cubs."

Eagle Man also spoke, but said: "Except Tiger Man."

"Who would be happy for you to carry them." The Khajiit sub-beast said loudly and angrily.

At this time, everyone can still quarrel and have some small thoughts. For example, the feathered people bring less food and there are many orcs here, so they can only lower their heads to show their goodwill to the orcs. Of course, there are still grievances between the Tiger and the Eagle.

At this time, Zhuo Yan no longer cares about these 'grievances' and 'little thoughts', and directly arranges work for Yuren. Everyone performs their duties to the best of their ability. Now that we are here, we must support each other and survive.

"Above, there's something like a deer with wings on it." The golden-headed tribe hurriedly landed and reported.

Zhuo Yan thought of the wet animals in his dream, which seemed to be pity for all things, and seemed to be a blessing for the rest of the life after the disaster. His tense mood eased slightly and he said: "Don't disturb them, let's go to ours."
