Chapter 11

The white-haired boy couldn't hold on anymore and fell down in the grass. Snow fell on his body and head. Slowly, his body could no longer feel the pain. He raised his uninjured eyelids with great effort, and the snow fell on him. It fell on his eyes, blurry.

... He was dying, died in the tribe.

The white-haired boy was waiting for death. He tried hard to think about his grandmother, but he couldn't remember at all that her grandmother was from the wolf tribe. He had heard people in the tribe talk about it, but he had never seen it.

My father had a new cave. He wandered around the tribe, always alone, no, a beast. The transformation stage was delayed, and he did not dare to stay in the place where he grew up.

'He is a beast'.

'He hasn't transformed yet, will he hurt the cubs?'

'Go away, go away'.

'Look here again, I'll beat you to death'.

"Why are you still in the tribe if you haven't transformed into a human being?"

'Just get out as soon as possible'.

...

too many, too many.

From childhood to now, the white-haired boy has never felt warmth. Just like the current snowy day, it is so cold... The consciousness slowly disappeared. His cold body could not feel the temperature. The white-haired boy tried his best to raise his eyelids. , and finally closed it little by little...

He couldn't hold on anymore.

-Zhuo

Yan carried a wooden bucket to fetch water. It was snowing at noon, and now the snow was ankle deep. I heard from Qiao and others that this was just the beginning of light snow. I couldn't imagine how cold the winter would be.

He was covered in a leather waistcoat and a small leather skirt. Logically speaking, if he wore this in modern winter, he would definitely freeze to death. However, it would indeed be cold, but until it was not too cold, it should be because of the animal genes in his body, which gave him a certain degree of cold resistance.

Zhuo Yan started running all the way, thinking randomly, although it is not cold now, it is not a problem to wear a leather skirt all the time. It is best to make cloth-

he needs too many things.

Finally, we arrived at the river. The water was flowing loudly. Zhuo Yan carried the wooden bucket and filled it with as much water as possible. The weather was too cold and the snow was falling harder and harder. It hit his eyelashes and he couldn't see the road. Zhuo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and held the wooden bucket in one hand. The bucket goes back.

There were no people around here, and the hole closest to him was about a hundred meters deep.

Zhuo Yan walked a few steps with the bucket when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He couldn't help but stop. He put the bucket down and looked toward the sound - the grass half a person's height was shaking in the distance.

It's not the movement of falling snow, it's bigger.

"Who! Where is who?" Zhuo Yan shouted, looking left and right for a stick to defend himself, and repeated his old trick: "I saw you!" No.

The grass swayed again.

"Could it be the white-haired boy?" Zhuo Yan said to himself, hesitating whether to go there or not. Curiosity killed the cat.

Although he thought so, Zhuo Yan was born with a strong curiosity. When choosing a major in college, he still Some classmates teased him that he had chosen the wrong major because of his strong curiosity. He should have studied journalism instead. He would just go wherever the excitement was.

It's not Zhuo Yan's fault. Chinese people naturally love to join in the fun.

At this time, Zhuo Yan approached the edge of the grass swamp very cautiously step by step. As he came, the place shook even more, obviously there was something really there. Zhuo Yan thought about it for a moment and then braved it. If it was a large beast, he would have already encountered it when he made the first sound.

It can be seen that there should be no danger inside.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yan moved faster. After all, the snow was heavy and the weather was cold. He wanted to go home early. The wooden stick in his hand pulled away the grass. As he moved, the tip of the grass swung wider and wider. Zhuo Yan became more curious and pulled it away directly. What caught his eye was -

when he saw it, he was shocked and surprised. happiness.

It turned out to be a guinea fowl! ! !

The wings of the guinea fowl were injured and stained with blood. The cold weather and ice and snow stuck to the grass stalks. The chicken might have wanted to escape when it heard his voice, but it struggled to no avail.

Zhuo Yan didn't expect an unexpected surprise, meat, meat!

The chicken actually came face-to-face with him, and then flopped wildly. Zhuo Yan felt that the smile on his face was indeed a bit abnormal, and he unconsciously said: "Hey, don't bother, be good, I will take you home."

Flapping its wings wildly.

"Don't move, don't move, I'll come, I'll come."

Thump, thump.

"I'm going!" Zhuo Yan jumped forward, but he was a step too late and missed. The guinea fowl's will to survive actually flew away, and it stumbled away with its injured wings.

How could the chicken just let go like this? ! !

Zhuo Yan definitely won't do it, especially the wings of this chicken are broken. Chickens in this world are much more powerful than modern domestic chickens. Those with wings can fly, but they only fly at low altitudes. Now half of the wings are broken in front of the face and they are flying staggeringly. Chicken -

a sure win!

Zhuo Yan followed behind with a stick and ran very fast, but the grass slowed down his pace, but the chicken's pace also slowed down. Unknowingly, he chased further and further towards the outskirts of the tribe, but he didn't go out, and was still by the river. .

It was snowing and cold, the chicken was injured, and Zhuo Yan chased him all the way. Finally, he finally gave up.

"Haha -" Zhuo Yan gasped, holding on with a wooden stick, "Run, why don't you keep running." He jumped over and knocked down the guinea fowl.

There will be meat to eat in the next few days.

The guinea fowl under his hand was still struggling and making a cry. Zhuo Yan pulled the withered grass next to him and tied the wings of the chicken first. He held it with one hand. When he stood up and walked back, his feet slipped and he stumbled and fell. On the ground.

"Be honest and stop struggling, or you'll be thrown into the pot tonight." Zhuo Yan first gave the chicken harsh words and propped himself up. At this moment, his eyes fell on the front three or four meters away.

There was also a gap in the bulging grass that was half a person's height.

Covered in white snow, it looked like a small hill, and there was obviously something underneath.

Zhuo Yan was stunned, hesitated for a second, and then walked over. People said that he was very curious, otherwise he wouldn't have figured out what was coming out. He had to think about what he was going to do in the novel, so he followed it and fell asleep. I watched a documentary about building a cabin in the wild. Where the pictures and text didn't match up, I had to pay attention to the details, how to polish the pillars, how to exhaust the smoke from the windows...

It makes me brave to think too much.

A few steps away from the distance of three to four meters, Zhuo Yan used a stick to pull the edge, and the snow fell on the side, exposing a corner of gray hair. The snow was too white, but Zhuo Yan still recognized it at a glance.

"White-haired boy?"

It's the same as the first time I met him. At that time, although the white-haired boy was thin, his hair was neat and emitted silver light in the sun. Even when we met by the river at night, the white-haired boy looked quite fluffy. Quite big.

At this time, the white-haired boy under the pure white snow was very dirty and motionless...as if he was dead.

Zhuo Yan knelt down and said, "White-haired guy?" He reached out and poked it, and it was so hard that his hair was frozen with the cold.

No one answered his words.

Zhuo Yan touched the white-haired boy's breath. He didn't know whether it was too cold or something. There was only the biting cold wind, and he couldn't feel any warmth or breath. He hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand towards the white-haired boy's abdomen. This is the animal's most vulnerable state. It was a soft place, but at this time, the white-haired boy didn't react at all, and his tentacles were only cold.

The white-haired boy seems to be... dead.

Zhuo Yan stood up and looked at his cave. The chicken in his hand was still flapping. There was also his bucket by the river. Even if he rescued the white-haired boy, the white-haired boy could not transform. Throughout the long winter, he The only meat at home was either potatoes or taro -

a meat bone that I couldn't finish, four or five kilograms of white horn beef, and a guinea fowl on my hand.

He is still underage and a sub-orc. His physical strength is much stronger than that of a human, but he cannot hunt. If he follows him, he will definitely be hungry. He may not survive this winter. If the white-haired boy really survives, there will be a leopard for each person in the cave. , as soon as the door is closed, in the coming spring, Sister Qiao and the others will be waiting to collect his body. It is estimated that only a handful of bones will be left.

He definitely couldn't defeat the hungry white-haired boy.

It didn't matter in the first place, it was just a few acquaintances. Could it be that Aman and the others took it seriously after talking about it? Zhuo Yan, don't be stupid. There is no hope of saving the white-haired boy now. He may be dead now. Why take the risk? You have to do it now The only thing he could do was to go back to the cave, warm himself by the fire, sleep well at night, and eat chicken tomorrow -

"It's impossible to sleep well." Zhuo Yan did a lot of self-construction and fighting with each other, but he knew that he was really carrying the chicken and pretending he didn't see it. White-haired boy, I will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating after returning to the cave.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the white-haired boy on the ground, who was covered in snow again after a while.

"Forget it, come here and live in vain. Even if you die, you will treat me as unlucky." Zhuo Yan gritted his teeth, squatted down again, and put down the chicken first. It was bundled with straw and couldn't run away -

the result The chicken has claws and stubbornly stands up to run away.

Zhuo Yan was getting annoyed when he knocked down the chicken with a wooden stick and knocked him unconscious.

Without the noise of the chicken, Zhuo Yan looked at Bai Maozi again. Now that he had made up his mind, he would not delay any longer. He reached out and dug Bai Maozi away from the snow. The more he dug down, the more frightened he became. One of Mao Zai's eyes seemed to be broken, and his whole body was injured and frozen stiff.

"I saved you, don't just die like this. Do you know that thanks to the blessing of my Yinjian layer, you look a lot like him, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed you at first sight." Zhuo Yan He was worried that he wouldn't be able to carry the white-haired boy on his back, but once he got his hands on it, he discovered that this guy was really light.

It can be said that he is skin and bones.

I don't know what Bai Maozi has been through these days.

Zhuo Yan carried the white-haired boy on his back, not forgetting to carry the knocked-out chicken in one hand. He couldn't hold the wooden stick, so he had to hold the white-haired boy with one arm, so it was very difficult to walk.

"I have to come down to get a bucket later."

"It's really troublesome."

"White-haired boy, you'd better not die."

"Do you hear me? Hold on."

"If you don't die and don't eat me in the future, we can Let's live together together. "

Zhuo Yan will no longer hesitate after making a decision. He has the ability to execute. The most important thing is that this will still be bitter. Haha, the cold white-haired boy who doesn't know whether he will live or die is now optimistic enough to start enjoying the future. .

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't transform. We'll get along well by then. When spring comes, we don't want bigger prey. We'll catch chickens, then circle them and breed them. The first breeding farm of the Leopard Man tribe will be opened... ..."

Haha, it's good to think about it this way.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The white-haired guy can't transform but can understand people's words. It's no problem to catch a chicken. Others raise hounds, but he raises leopards in the prehistoric orc world. When you think about it, it's pretty cool. .

The premise is -

"My surname is not Dongguo, and you are not a wolf. There is a high probability that we can't be Mr. Dongguo and the wolf..."

He is deceiving himself.

But there is nothing he can do. He refuses to save him. Zhuo Yan really goes back. When Bai Maozi dies, he will definitely be tortured in his heart again and again. It is better to listen to his heart, save him, and do his best, even if Bai Maozi cannot bear it. If the past is really dead, then it is open and honest, and it is clear from the heart.

"You must not die!"

Zhuo Yan couldn't help but say something when he was panting and carrying it to the entrance of the cave after all the hard work.

The white-haired boy on his back didn't know whether he heard it or was shocked by Zhuo Yan's voice. His nose trembled slightly, just a slight one.

-

The white-haired boy was waiting for death to come. After an unknown amount of time, he came to the vast grassland where death was like spring all year round. There he saw many animals, drinking water and basking in the sun leisurely. And enjoying the food.

No cold, no hunger, no orcs.

...He was not an orc in the first place...

The white-haired boy was not out of place among them. No animal would dislike him or drive him away. The leader of the wolf pack asked him: You look like a wolf, but not like one. You are a wolf. ?

My grandmother is a wolf and my father is a leopard.

Leopard, leopard is there. The alpha wolf's eyes pointed the way.

The white-haired boy lowered his head, was he being disliked again?

The cubs in the wolf pack were very lively and said they should play together or stay and play.

Well, you can stay if you want. said the alpha wolf.

The white-haired boy stayed. He didn't want to go to the Leopard Man tribe. He was not welcome there. Here he played with the wolf cubs and basked in the sun. They lay on his head and back and had fun. The white-haired boy never wanted to go to the Leopard Man tribe. I have never experienced such play.

Until -

someone calls you again, it's time to go back. said the alpha wolf.

Bai Maozi was stunned. No one cared about him or wanted him.

"...Don't die."

He heard this and was shocked and couldn't believe it.

It's time for you to go back.

Someone cares about you.

Chapter 12

Zhuo Yan didn't take a breath when he returned to the cave. He first put the white-haired boy next to the fire. He only added one piece of firewood just now to save firewood. At this moment, the flames were almost gone, so he quickly added two more thick ones. firewood, let the fire burn a little brighter, and hurriedly closed the door.

The wind and snow are too heavy.

After closing the door, Zhuo Yan looked at the white-haired boy on the ground. After thinking about it, he went to get his biggest piece of leather - an unwashed one. It was very suitable for the white-haired boy now. The white-haired boy himself was dirty. Xixi.

There was another tumbling motion.

The fire in the cave grew brighter and warmer.

Zhuo Yan put the white-haired boy on the leather and dragged him more than 20 centimeters away from the firewood. The white-haired boy was frozen and stiff. He was afraid that it would not be good if he was too close, and the sudden cold and sudden heat would not be good.

After everything was done, he could take a short rest. Panting, his mouth felt dry. He wanted to drink water, but there was no water in the stone pot at home. "...My wooden bucket."

He must get it, the snow is so heavy, if It's too late and I can't find it. This is one of his family's most precious possessions, and the white-haired boy - Zhuo Yan looked at the white-haired boy on the leather mat. The blood and frost on his head and face were mixed together, and he was very surprised. Horrible, this guy also needs hot water to clean his wounds.

It's no good to delay. Zhuo Yan was afraid that he would not be able to find it, so just to be on the safe side he brought a burning firewood down to serve as a light source. However, as soon as the door opened, the wind howled by and the burning firewood almost went out.

Zhuo Yan protected the source of the fire with one hand, closed the door, and quickly went down to find a bucket.

Fortunately, it was right by the river where he often went. Although the snow was heavy and blurred his vision, it was still easy to find. The bucket was filled with snow. Zhuo Yan poured out the water and filled another bucket. The firewood in his hand had already been covered with snow. Killed it. Fortunately, I found the bucket and filled it with water.

"This thing has to be wrapped in grease so that it burns brightly and hard." Zhuo Yan muttered on the way, thinking about the ancient torches, and then looked at his, it was not the same thing, and then thought about the white-haired boy in the cave, "I thought spending the winter was boring, but now I'm so busy."

Back in the cave, Zhuo Yan placed the bucket and closed the door in one go.

He walked to the fire to warm himself up. His hands were warm, so he touched Bai Maozi's chest. I don't know if it was the warmth of his hands, but Zhuo Yan really felt that the heart in Bai Maozai's chest was not as cold as before. It seems to have a little bit of warmth...

"I'll treat you as if you're still alive."

"Hold on, I'll take a look at your injuries."

The white-haired boy's originally fluffy hair was all knotted into strands, and it was blurry. I know it's blood or mud, and it smells a bit stinky. There were only a handful of bones in the body, and it looked like there was just a lot of hair. The most serious ones were the eyes and head. The left eye was covered in blood. There seemed to be scars on the head above it. It was scratched or bitten by something. The hair covered it. Zhuo Yan looked at it. Unclear.

Even so, Zhuo Yanxin sank.

"Hold on, I'll help you clean the wound." He took the stone knife over, squatted aside, and carefully cut off the hair on the wound for the white-haired boy. When the wound was exposed to sight, Zhuo Yan's eyes became more solemn.

He didn't know what had happened to Bai Maozai in the past few days, but it must have been difficult and painful.

The wound was too serious. The white-haired boy's head was bloody and bloody. Although the scab did not bleed, the area was black. If it hadn't been for the cold weather, it would have definitely turned into pus -

"Wait for me, white-haired boy, wait. "Me."

Zhuo Yan cleaned the stone pot, placed it in the middle of the fire, filled half the pot with cold water, rinsed the stone knife, went to the stone bed and cut a corner of the leather he had washed, and used it to clean the white-haired boy's wound.

There is no way, this is the only thing he can do.

The stone pot transferred heat slowly. Zhuo Yan looked at Bai Maozai's wound and added a few more firewood. The fire became strong, and soon the water in the stone pot bubbled and boiled.

Zhuo Yan dipped a piece of leather in boiling water, cleaned the stone knife, roasted it on the fire, and then slowly wiped the white-haired boy's wound with a piece of leather dipped in boiling water.

The white-haired boy was motionless and unresponsive.

"I, I will be slower and gentler." Zhuo Yan wiped the wound bit by bit. Seeing the wound, his scalp went numb. "Fortunately, the bone was not broken."

If it was, he would really be helpless.

The wounds were huge, some kind of animal bites and scratches.

Some areas are difficult to wipe with leather and need to be cleaned with water. Zhuo Yan used cold water to rinse the wound. He didn't dare to wipe it too harshly.

Zhuo Yan was also afraid of the flesh there.

"Let's do this on the head first. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Now let's take a look at the eyes."

The eyes were mushy - blood, mud, ice and snow mixed together. Zhuo Yan didn't know whether the white-haired boy was blind, his eyeballs were injured or something else. First, He carefully cleaned up the dirt in his eye sockets, and when he saw the wounds on his eyelids, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The scratches on his head probably reached his eyelids, they weren't very deep.

If the white-haired boy closed his eyes and hid, his eyes should be fine - he was not sure, so after thinking for a moment, he gently opened the injured eyelid of the white-haired boy. This eye was very congested and swollen, but - -

"Fortunately, my eyeballs are still there."

After doing all this, the hot water in the stone pot was dirty.

Zhuo Yan: "I must make a washbasin tomorrow!"

The white-haired boy's hair also needs to be taken care of. It is too dirty, but the weather is cold, so it should be thicker and only the messy areas should be combed. Zhuo Yan will comb the hair. Pull out the pot, put the skin on the edge, wait for it to cool down and pour the water outside.

I will use a stone knife to trim the hair of the white-haired boy. The leopard's hair is not very long, but the white-haired boy is not a pure leopard. The hair is slightly longer. It is really similar to a long-haired cat. All the knotted and dirty parts are shaved short. Hair cats become short hair cats.

After trimming it roughly, Zhuo Yan's eyes fell on the white-haired boy and sighed silently. A handful of bones was not an exaggeration but a real adjective.

The body is slender, like skin covering bones, with well-defined ribs. There was also a scar on his stomach, and the hair on his abdomen was short. Zhuo Yan tried his best not to move, and just wiped it, then opened the door and went outside with the stone pot wrapped in it. He scrubbed the stone pot and then brought it back to heat water again.

Wipe the white-haired boy again.

The hair on the ground was about to be lost, and the water in the bucket was used up, but it was very dark and cold now, and Zhuo Yan did not dare to go out. The bucket was placed outside the door, intending to catch the snow and boil it for him to scrub with. .

The water in the stone pot is boiling, and he will drink it first.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhuo Yan sat on a piece of firewood and continued the wooden water cup he made in the afternoon. He dug up the wood chips for a while and poured them all on the fire. His eyes involuntarily fell on the white-haired boy next to him.

"It seems that the breathing is rising and falling." Zhuo Yan looked carefully for a long time, and sure enough, his abdomen slowly moved again, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the wooden water cup was ready, the water in the stone pot boiled, and the first cup was water for him to drink. Move the stone pot to the middle of the fire and let it cool for a while, it will be too hot.

Thump, thump.

Zhuo Yan blew the water and took a sip to moisten his throat. When he heard the noise, he remembered the chicken. He was surprised that it was not dead yet. He put down the water glass again and looked at the chicken, which was also staring at him.

"Quite tenacious." Zhuo Yan wanted to raise one, "Are you a male or a female?" But he asked nonsense. Even if it was a hen, it was impossible for him to catch a rooster in the ice and snow now, so naturally there would be no nest. Chick's future.

Furthermore——

Zhuo Yan looked at the white-haired boy next to him, then turned to look at the chicken with pity, "Thank you for your trouble, please give us an extra meal."

The boiling hot water was warm, and Zhuo Yan simply scrubbed the white-haired boy again. , took good care of it, poured out the water in the stone pot, the snow outside was light, but there was quite a lot of snow, so he simply filled the stone pot and placed it next to the fire. When the water was warm, he wiped it casually Face and hands and feet.

Go to bed!

Before going to bed, Zhuo Yan added some firewood to the fire and looked at Bai Maozi again. His breathing was still very slow. If Mao Duan hadn't seen clearly, he would have thought that Bai Maozi was out of breath after staring at him for a long time. .

That night, Zhuo Yan thought he would not sleep well. After all, there was a hungry white-haired boy not far from the stone bed. They were not familiar with each other and had only met each other once. He didn't know what the white-haired boy's temper was. While in bed, I was still thinking about whether Bai Maozai would be so hungry that he ate him.

I thought about it randomly, but I never regretted it.

After thinking about it, I fell asleep. I slept deeply and soundly without dreaming.

In the middle of the night, the fire in the cave gradually became fainter, and the cold wind howled outside, as if it started to rain again, but the cave was very warm. On the skin next to the fire, a skinny and neatly groomed white-haired boy slowly began to , struggled to open his eyelids.

There is only one eye, a faint slit.

Through the faint orange light, the white-haired boy saw the sub-orc on the stone bed a few meters away -

was it him?

The orc who sings in the morning. He said, this is a song.

Bai Maozi has never heard the song, but he has memorized it.

The sub-orc man was lying on his side on the bed, and the slightest trace of firelight fell on the sub-orc man's face, outlining the halo. The white-haired boy struggled to hold his eyelids, and his pupils reflected the figure of the sub-orc man on the bed.

Isn't he... afraid of me?

Why did you pick me back?

The white-haired boy couldn't hold it any longer and slowly closed his eyes.

The cave was quiet until soon, the firewood made a thunderous sound. Zhuo Yan woke up in a daze, walked to the fire in his straw sandals, first added two firewood, and then the fire slowly came up, and then he made a sound .

"Before going to bed, was the head of the white-haired boy facing the bed?" Zhuo Yan scratched his hair and couldn't remember. It must be so.

And on the other side of the fire, the tied guinea fowl was squatting next to the fire.

Zhuo Yan smiled, took a sip of the cold water, went outside to relieve himself, and returned to sleep again. This time he stopped caring about the fire after falling asleep. He found that the temperature in the cave was okay, but it was impossible to burn firewood day and night, and the landlord's family had no surplus food! ! !

Be sparing.

This is just like a modern cave dwelling - a simple version, warm in winter and cool in summer, with thick mountain walls for insulation. Modern concrete houses may be exposed to severe cold weather on all sides, but here only the front door side is.

The next day, the snow stopped.

Zhuo Yan stretched out and looked at Bai Mao Zai first, "Good morning." No one responded to him, so he turned his head and landed on - "Where's my chicken!!!"

He and Bai Mao Zai were still having sex. Got it!

Zhuo Yan immediately became energetic. There was no way he could lose it. There were no chicken feathers on the white-haired boy's mouth, and there was no blood. He couldn't help but look around, and finally landed on the door. His door was 1.78 meters high, and there was a hole at the top of the entrance. There is a space of 20 to 30 centimeters, which is breathable and light-transmitting, and the curvature formed by the mountain means that even if there is an opening of 20 to 30 centimeters, wind and snow cannot pour in.

There were pieces of dead grass falling inside the door, which he had used to tie up the chicken yesterday. Zhuo Yan hurriedly opened the door, and when he opened the door, he lowered his head and saw that the chicken had frozen to death not far from his door.

"You said why are you bothering? Why bother? I'm not stewing you today, eh." Zhuo Yan came back carrying Brother Chicken, who was frozen to death.

"You are so seriously injured and you still want to run out. Are you worried about anything?"

Zhuo Yan put the chicken next to the firewood pile. "If you still have family members, why don't I go back and check for you today and find them all?" Let your family reunite."

Chicken: I will never die in peace.

Zhuo Yan said this, but actually he wanted to go out and take a look after the snow stopped. Now that there was an extra member in the family, the burden on his back was heavier. He also wanted to take advantage of the snow to see if there was anything he could eat. .

In the morning, he made a fire and roasted two big potatoes. Zhuo Yan ate one and put one next to the white-haired boy's paw. The white-haired boy hadn't woken up yet, so Zhuo Yan didn't care and said to himself: "Although you You are not in human form, but you have wolf blood. Wolves are omnivores and can even eat egg yolk pie. The conditions at home are difficult. I am not saying that I eat meat and you eat potatoes. From now on, you will eat whatever I eat. Don't eat me. That's it."

After saying that, Zhuo Yan gnawed potatoes, carried the rattan basket and the bucket, and went out to work.

He walked all the way, thinking about what was wrong. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but it was not crucial...

Finally, Zhuo Yan looked at the ice by the river and remembered.

"Wolf! Wolf, I forgot yesterday that the white-haired boy has wolf blood... That's okay. My surname is not Dongguo. My mother, grandma, grandpa, and grandpa are all not surnamed Dongguo."

Xiao Zhuoyan's beast father and grandma have no one either. The surname is Dongguo.

It's okay.

Chapter 13

The snow stopped.

The entire tribe is covered in white. The withered grass that was once half a person high is now bent down by the snow, reaching the calf level, and the field of vision is wider.

If it were a modern time when people were well fed and clothed, this scenery would be really beautiful. Zhuo Yan would definitely be willing to camp here, buy a tent, set up a small stove, boil a pot of hot water, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and enjoy life...

"This way There will definitely be more in the future."

Finish painting the cake for yourself today.

Zhuo Yan was wearing a big piece of leather, otherwise the small vest and small leather skirt would not be able to withstand the cold. After eating the pie he had painted, he had the strength to work, so he was not in a hurry to fetch water.

He thought about the direction he was chasing the chicken last night and walked along the road. What if Brother Chicken really had a family? He can pick them up together and take care of them.

It's a pity that Zhuo Yan's "good intentions" came to nothing. He even found the location of the grass swamp where Brother Chicken was tossing last night. He didn't find Brother Chicken's family who could do it, so he had no choice but to turn back and go to the river.

The river in the narrow water area has frozen, but the widest river in the upper reaches is still flowing. Zhuoyan has not been to the area above it much, so I decided to explore it this time. He didn't return in vain at the upstream position. He found a few thicker branches, as thick as his arm. It must have been someone in the tribe who cut down the tree for firewood and carried it home. They thought it was too thin.

The thickness in the orc's eyes was really different from his.

If you don't want it for nothing, Zhuo Yan packs it up and puts it in a rattan basket. There was nothing else. When I turned back, my feet slipped. Fortunately, it was only a gentle slope, but I was able to shovel the snow away with my foot, revealing the snow-covered weeds on both sides.

Zhuo Yan looked a little familiar, like a wild vegetable, which was already very bad, and he was not sure whether he could eat it. The chicken at home was also dead, so he couldn't let the chicken brother try it first.

So I made a note of this location and will visit it next spring.

This morning, Zhuo Yan harvested: a small bundle of firewood wet with snow and a bucket of water.

go home!

When I arrived at the door of my house, I first shook off the snow on my skin, then entered the house and closed the door. After staying outside for a long time, it was especially warm in the cave. Zhuo Yan first placed the bucket in the kitchen and looked at the white potato on the skin. The potato he gave to the white potato in the morning was still intact by the white fur kid's paw.

It seems that the white-haired boy hasn't gotten up all morning.

Zhuo Yan's eyes were heavy. It was impossible not to eat when he was sick. Then he turned to look at the chicken aside. He simply disposed of it and boiled a pot with soup and water. Anyway, it was cold so it was easy to store. And -

since this If a chicken appears, it means there must be chickens nearby.

Zhuo Yan didn't want to sit around and was wondering whether to set some traps. He went to the upper river in the morning and saw no fish. He couldn't help but wonder if his idea was wrong. Tomorrow, he would hit the narrowest ice surface downstream to see if there were any fish.

Even he couldn't bear eating potatoes every day, let alone the white-haired boy.

In modern times, he was all about meat. Now he was thinking, "Is it possible that I was born a half-orc, with orc genes flowing in my bones, so I also like to eat meat."

Humming a song, Zhuo Yan started to work, picking up the things he picked up in the morning. The firewood is processed into sections and placed outside the firewood pile to dry the firewood when making a fire for cooking. As well as lighting a fire and boiling water, dealing with the chicken brother, and after cleaning up and looking at the pot full of chicken feathers, Zhuo Yan came up with a crazy idea.

Can you use chicken feathers to seduce prey?

Just try it.

Zhuo Yan did not dump the pot of chicken feathers and sewage immediately, nor did he dump it in front of his cave to save trouble. He decided to let it cool down for a while, poured it into a bucket and carried it to the river to process the chicken. But now He needs some trap pegs.

Zhuo Yan sat by the fire, whittling wooden pegs for traps.

Chickens eat bugs, and there may be bugs or other grass seeds in that patch of dry grass that can be eaten by chickens. If a man wants to eat when there is a heavy snowfall, so will chickens.

After thinking about it this way, the logic was very sound. His men were cutting wooden nails very quickly. After working for a while, Zhuo Yan took a break and ate taro when he was hungry. He felt that eating potatoes was boring, so he ate taro at noon and gave it to Bai Maozi. Another freshly baked taro was placed beside the paw.

"If you don't eat, I'll eat it all tonight." Don't waste food.

The white-haired boy was motionless.

Zhuo Yan sat back and continued whittling, maybe the chicken was hanging in front of him, he was going very fast, and with the thickness of the snow, Zhuo Yan picked up sticks that were as short as his forearm, sharpened one end to a sharp point, and prepared five or six sticks.

It felt like it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Zhuo Yan did not dare to delay any longer. After packing his things, he carried the dirty bucket and six wooden nails in the rattan basket on his back and walked out of the hole.

He was so focused on his work that he didn't notice that the white-haired boy on the leather had opened his eyes, but closed them again after a while.

It was lightly snowing outside and a cold wind was blowing. Zhuo Yan first found the grass swamp he had visited in the morning and inserted a wooden nail into it. A bucket of chicken feathers and dirty water began to sprinkle on and around it. After checking that there was nothing there, he went to the river. Wash the bucket and wash the chicken again.

When he went back, Zhuo Yan thought about not going around to the trap again, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He was afraid of disturbing the situation. It was getting dark now, so he would wait until the chicken soup was cooked before he came out to take a look.

After returning home, Zhuo Yan first washed the stone pot with snow, and then scalded it with a bucket of water. He chopped half of a chicken and put it in the pot, and kept the other half for tomorrow. He added water to the stone pot, put the chicken in, and started on a low fire. While it is stewing, scrape the potato skins.

After a while, the aroma of chicken filled the hole.

It smells so good, suck it up. Zhuo Yan started to swallow his saliva and looked at Bai Maozi again, "Did you smell it? You're so dry that you can't eat. Can you drink chicken soup?"

When the chicken soup was simmered until soft, with a layer of oil floating on it, modern Things that felt greasy and greasy are now treasures.

Zhuo Yan now realizes the taste of clear soup with little water and not a drop of oil in his stomach.

He put the washed potatoes into the pot, boiled them again, and finally sprinkled them with a pinch of salt. They were fragrant. Zhuo Yan first filled his own cup with a spoon, blew on them and drank directly without fear of burning them.

"! Hot, hot, hot -" He stuck out the tip of his tongue to dry it. Zhuo Yan held the cup happily, and then his eyes met Bai Maozi's eyes -? ? ? ! ! !

"You're awake!" Zhuo Yan was stunned and said in surprise, then put down the cup in his hand, hurried over and squatted aside, "How are you? Are you hungry? I'll serve you some soup. You can drink a few slowly first. "Come on, don't fall asleep. Drink a few sips before going to sleep. The chicken I've been stewing for a long time is really delicious."

Bai Maozai might faint again at any time.

It's definitely impossible not to eat. Zhuo Yan wanted Bai Maozi to take a few bites. In this era, there are no herbs or infusions. He really has to carry it on his own. He is afraid of three bowls of rice, so at least he has to eat.

I don't know if his words had an effect. The white-haired boy really didn't fall asleep again. It could be seen that the white-haired boy tried his best to hold up his eyelids and shook his paws.

"I'm going to get you some soup." Zhuo Yan found his half-finished 'washbasin'. It could only be described as a shallow plate, but now it was just right for Bai Maozi to fill it with soup.

With a few spoons of soup, Zhuo Yan picked up the chicken with chopsticks and specially picked out the bones. The meat was stewed very well. After a little pulling, it was all gone. A few pieces of potatoes were pressed down with a spoon and turned into mash. One plate Chicken with soup and mashed potatoes would be great.

Zhuo Yan brought it to Bai Maozi's eyes.

"Eat."

"If it's not enough, you can add more. It's just that you don't know how much you can eat right now. Eat small meals frequently and don't waste anything."

The white-haired boy struggled to hold up his body. He thought he couldn't feel hunger anymore, but now he 'woke up' He felt the same, with a burning pain in his stomach, and he was still very hungry. But at this time, the white-haired boy did not eat the food in front of him first, but looked deeply at the orc man.

He tried his best to lift his front paws and put them on the sub-orc man's wrist.

Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the furry head, smiled, reached out and gently rubbed the white-haired boy's head, avoiding the injured side, and said softly: "You want to thank me?"

"Then You have to live well, I will trouble you in the future."

"After you take good care of yourself, let's go hunting together. It doesn't have to be too dangerous. We don't eat dangerous things. We catch chickens and sheep... Eat it quickly. Good morning. "Get up."

Zhuo Yan was actually very cute. Although the white-haired boy is now very ugly, with half of his head bald, scars exposed, and one eyelid swollen, the cub cannot be said to be furry and cute, but what the white-haired boy did just now is really... It's very much like a kitten acting coquettishly.

Like his A Yin.

The white-haired boy lowered his head and started to lick the food with his rough tongue.

"Can I give you a name?"

The white-haired boy stopped licking. Zhuo Yan quickly said: "You eat what you have." But Bai Maozi did not continue eating, but looked sideways at him, with only one eye reflecting his figure, looking very serious, waiting.

Zhuo Yan had a smile on his face that he didn't even know he had.

"Can I call you Ah Yin? My name is Zhuo Yan. I shaved you yesterday. Your hair is not white, but silver and has leopard patterns. It's very beautiful."

The white-haired boy raised his paw, and Zhuo Yan held it. .

Ah Yin agreed and called him Ah Yin.

"Let's eat, I'm going to eat too."

Zhuo Yan sat aside and drank the warm chicken soup. He was in a good mood now, but A Yin started to struggle after eating about half of it, but he was still holding on. Looking at it, Zhuo Yan saw that Ah Yin was feeling very uncomfortable, so he quickly said, "Forget it if you can't eat it. Eat it whenever you want. Don't force yourself."

"You've already eaten a lot." He is really a good daddy. .

The white-haired boy lowered his head, lying on the leather and breathing slowly, and soon closed his eyes. But before closing his eyes, he kept looking in the direction of Zhuo Yan until he couldn't support anymore and his eyelids closed.

No one knows what the white-haired boy is thinking.

He has a new name, A Yin.

...Your fur is beautiful with leopard print.

I call you Ah Yin.

His name was A Yin.

Zhuo Yan drank two cups of chicken soup, a potato, a large piece of chicken leg and chicken breast. The meat here - I don't know whether it was because he was hungry due to lack of food, or because the meat was just delicious.

The chicken was very tender and tender, and there was no firewood at all. Zhuo Yan ate half of it, and his belly was already bulging. He leaned against the fire to keep warm. Although the material conditions here were very poor, at this moment, Zhuo Yan really felt happy.

After eating and drinking, we rested for a while. It was getting dark outside and the wind and snow started again, but it was not too heavy. Zhuo Yan carried the bucket, first to fetch water, and second to see if there was any harvest in the trap.

He arrived at the trap first. Although it was dark, the snow was shining brightly and his eyesight was good, so he found nothing. The grass and snow over there were a bit messy, and there was a wooden nail that was crooked. It was not caused by the snow, it should be. Something came and ran away.

Although he didn't catch it, Zhuo Yan was very happy. There was something to prove that the trap was right, but his trap was not very comprehensive, so he squatted down and started to think about it. If there were few wooden nails, they couldn't be spread too thin. The dead grass here was Half a person tall, it was very tough to twist several strands into one strand. At this moment, Zhuo Yan twisted it into several strands, twisted it around several wooden pegs, and then pulled away the snow here.

After doing all this, Zhuo Yan carried a bucket and fetched water and went home.

After going back and closing the door, he stopped eating. Zhuo Yan added two pieces of firewood to the fire and started making wooden bowls and small spoons...

Through the firelight, Zhuo Yan looked at A Yin who was still sleeping across from him. He originally lived alone. , talking to himself every day, otherwise he would really feel like he is going crazy when alone. He is afraid that after the winter, his language will deteriorate, but now there is no need, he has a partner.

"Ah Yin, let me make you a big bowl. If you don't say anything, it will be regarded as a promise."

"You should get well soon."

That night, Zhuo Yan was tired from work, cleaned up and went to bed. At midnight, The fire had been extinguished, leaving only a trace of residual warmth. A Yin propped up his forelimbs, lowered his head and licked the plate of cold soup.

He ate very hard and strenuously, and his stomach still hurt. It would hurt even more after the food went in, but Ah Yin ate very carefully and finished everything.

'You need to get better soon'.

Chapter 14

Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw that the original bowl of food had been used up. Then his eyes fell on Ah Yin who was still sleeping and was very surprised. Ah Yin got up and ate all the food last night!

This is good news. Being able to eat means that at least it means that you are getting better for the time being.

Then Zhuo Yan was a little annoyed, so he decided to add some late-night snacks and serve his confinement as if he were a daddy.

His silver cat was a male cat. He ran out to play when he was in heat in the spring. At that time, he lived in the countryside and couldn't be controlled. Later, he came back after more than half a month, and he brought a little Sanhua with him. The beautiful little Sanhua had a big belly and gave birth to four cubs, orange and white, black, Sanhua, and Lihua, but none of them looked like his silver cubs.

Netizens said that his family's Ah Yin was cheated on.

Zhuo Yan, like his A Yin, faced the four cubs: Hey hey hey.

Regarding the comment made on the barrage during the live broadcast, Zhuo Yan said that it was nonsense. These are his grandchildren and granddaughters. Although they are not like Ah Yin, they look like him. Look at this lively, motivated and intelligent person, with He is exactly the same!

Then he devoted himself to taking care of little Sanhua during the confinement period. After taking care of her, she was raised and the couple packed up and sterilized her together.

At this time, Zhuo Yan said to the injured Ah Yin: You are accustomed to knowing that common practice makes perfect, and I will never give you a sterilization gift package, so don't worry.

"Daddy, I'm sorry for you." Zhuo Yan gently touched Ah Yin's head, "We're also eating chicken soup today, so I'll give you an extra bowl."

Zhuo Yan was in a good mood and kept his mouth shut. In fact, according to age, if Ah Yin transformed into a human form and was about the same age as Xiao Xian, a junior high school student in the age of 14 or 15, he would definitely be the older brother if he is now 16 or 17.

"You didn't hear me when you were asleep. I won't take advantage of you anymore." It doesn't matter

if I call him brother or brother.

He used to be the youngest in the family, but he didn't expect to have a leopard brother now - how cool.

Zhuo Yan skillfully lit a fire and boiled hot water first. He scrubbed his face and hands. He took the small water glass and went outside to brush his teeth. He then dipped the hot water back in and wiped Ah Yin's face, and looked at his eyes and wounds. It seems...

not good.

Even though it was winter, the wound on the head was not completely treated after the first treatment. It was still a bit dirty and black. It was hard and bulging a little when pressed. This must be debrided again.

Zhuo Yan's eyes darkened. He poured out the washing water in his hand, washed the pot and cooked the meal for the day. It was still the same as before, half a chicken, potatoes and taro were boiled in the pot. This time the potatoes were cooked a little more rotten, like It's like mushy.

It would be great if there was an herb to stop bleeding. Zhuo Yan could identify Bletilla and Sangui. It's winter now, and the snow is thick. It's hard to find this. Plus, times have changed, so I don't know if it's available.

Besides, I can't wait for this anymore.

Ah Yin can't wait.

The stew was still going on for a while, so Zhuo Yan was not going to be idle. He took the bucket to the river to fetch water, and took a look at the traps set yesterday.

Before Zhuo Yan went out, he said to Ah Yin who was sleeping: "I'm going out for a trip and I'll be back soon. Let's have dinner when we come back." He was thinking about debridement along the way. This time, he must do it in one step, otherwise it will happen again and again. No one can bear it.

The most important thing is that there is no anesthesia, no painkillers, and the pain of debridement. Thinking from his perspective, Zhuo Yan himself cannot guarantee that he can endure the pain without going crazy. What if Ah Yin also goes crazy.

But it's hard to delay.

Zhuo Yan thought about it and went to the trap first. He saw rustling sounds from the snow in the distance three or four meters away. He couldn't help but forget the questions he had when he came just now and became energetic.

There is something!

Chicken brother, chicken sister-in-law, chicken family! ! !

Zhuo Yan's eyes were shining, and he walked slowly, one step at a time, and finally got closer. The grass was already very short, and something sunk in it came into view -

"Rabbit?"

The white rabbit was mixed with dust, and the accumulation was It was covered with snow. With his arrival, the rabbits were frightened and shook off the snow on their bodies. One, two, three - there were three of them!

Zhuo Yan didn't need to look in the mirror to know how much he looked like a pervert when he smiled.

Three, three! Spicy rabbit head!

Oh, it doesn't matter if you can't find the chili pepper, it will be delicious if boiled in plain water.

Zhuo Yan mentally named the dishes, and this time he had the experience of Brother Chicken. He pinched the frightened rabbit's neck quickly and accurately, only to find that the three rabbits were not injured by wooden nails, but three rabbits crowded together and escaped. At that moment, his feet were in a panic and disrupted the 'rope' he had set, pulling three of them down and tying them up.

They must have been here for a long time. The three rabbits all had frightened faces but were shivering and had no energy. Zhuo Yan put them all into the rattan basket and packed up the wooden pegs first. The place was in a mess. After everything was done, he went to fetch water and returned. Home.

When we walked to the entrance of the cave, we could already smell the fragrance.

Zhuo Yan closed the door, put the bucket in, and took out the wooden pegs in the rattan basket with the three rabbits. The three big rabbits ran to the firewood pile and crowded around, not daring to move. Zhuo Yan didn't care about this anymore, and the door was fastened. , let's look at the stone pot food first.

After stirring it, adding some salt, he turned his head and met Ah Yin's eyes.

"Are you woken up by the incense? You can eat now. I'll tell you something later."

A Yin's eyes did not fall on the stone pot, but looked at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan was serving food to the two of them. He was very happy. He worked overtime last night and finally had a wooden bowl to eat with instead of a cup today.

The chicken was deboned, and the cooked chicken soup was a little mushy because of the addition of potatoes. It looked average in appearance, but it was very fragrant. Zhuo Yan served some to A Yinduo, "Be careful of scalding."

"I found yours. The wound is a little uneven and there is dirt inside. If this continues, there will be pus. If the wound does not grow well, it will get worse and worse, so today -" Zhuo Yan looked at A Yin.

Ah Yin kept looking at him. His left eye was swollen and could only open a crack, but his right eye could be opened. The pupils were blue and very beautiful. When he looked at him, he was a little weak but focused on listening to your words.

Who knows? Especially heartwarming.

"I just want to get you here." Zhuo Yan pointed to his head, "You are hard here. You need to use a knife to scrape it open and remove the dirt inside. It will definitely be very painful."

Ah Yin nodded his head.

"It's going to be very painful." Zhuo Yan emphasized, "And there is no hemostasis, and there are no other herbs. You need to carry it."

Ah Yin looked at Zhuo Yan with blue eyes, and nodded again.

It's like trusting Zhuoyan with all his strength.

Zhuo Yan felt a little heavy, "Let's eat first." Have a full meal.

Now that he had made up his mind, after dinner, Zhuo Yan finished cleaning up, and there was still some lunch left. He put it into bowls and plates first. Zhuo Yan washed the stone pot three times, and finally added water to boil, and then let it cool. The same goes for stone knives.

After debriding, Zhuo Yan took a deep breath, sat on the leather and held A Yin's head, letting A Yin lean into his arms. Ah Yin raised his eyes and could only look from below. Zhuo Yan lowered his head and met the blue eyes. He gently touched Ah Yin's head and his voice was raised unconsciously.

"It may be very painful. You have to stick to Ah Yin."

"You can do it."

"If you get over it, our lives will be better in the future, I promise."

Zhuo Yan seemed to be telling Ah Yin, and also seemed to be telling himself. .

The conditions here - there are no conditions at all, but there are advantages. The friends are kind and open-minded, and the scenery is beautiful. He also inherited Xiao Zhuoyan's cave, has a door, can eat chicken, and will have rabbits to eat in the future.

Now he has a companion, a companion to accompany him.

"You must hold on."

Ah Yin blinked as if in response.

"Then I'll start."

With the red-hot stone knife, Zhuo Yan put the leather on the handle and started to cut open the hard scab. He was so focused on what he was doing that he forgot to look at Ah Yin. With an expression on his face, Ah Yin's front paws in his arms twitched slightly, very lightly and soon became quiet again.

Zhuo Yan dug carefully and found that there was indeed pus inside, which had a bit of a stench.

Over and over again, Zhuo Yan debrided the wound very carefully, and his forehead was covered with sweat. From time to time, he lowered his head to look at Ah Yin in his arms. Ah Yin closed his nails. He fainted and woke up from the pain several times, but never stretched out. Claws tickled him.

After everything was done, Zhuo Yan couldn't help but kiss the other side of Ah Yin's head who was sleeping, "Okay, okay, dear Ah Yin, it doesn't hurt anymore."

He threw the things aside, hugged Ah Yin, and lay on the ground His leather was too dirty, and it was close to the ground and prone to dust. After a while, Zhuo Yan had the strength to carry Ah Yin to the stone bed and place it on his cleaned leather.

Tears secreted from the corners of Ah Yin's eyes, and Zhuo Yan wiped them away gently.

It seemed that at this moment, his relationship with Ah Yin was one step closer. Zhuo Yan no longer thought about Mr. Dongguo's relationship with the wolf. He knew that Ah Yin would not hurt him.

Ah Yin didn't wake up that day. Zhuo Yan was worried and worried about Ah Yin. The leftovers at night were not hot and they were all cold. Late at night, Ah Yin had a fever, and Zhuo Yan could only try his best to cool down.

The next day, Ah Yin didn't wake up and was still sleeping.

On the third day, the wound stopped bleeding.

On the fourth day, Ah Yin still didn't wake up.

Zhuo Yan was so worried that he took a random bite of roasted potatoes and roasted potatoes every day these days.

On the fifth day, Ah Yin woke up and vomited several times. Zhuo Yan was so worried that he went to the bedside to clean up the mess. Ah Yin vomited all the water. Zhuo Yan gave him some water that had been boiled and left to warm. Ah Yin looked at him and blinked.

"I'm fine." Zhuo Yan understood, "It's really fine. Two rabbits froze to death in the past two days, and one was very sick. I might as well kill them all. If you can eat it, let's stew the rabbits. "

Ah Yin is very weak and can only drink water.

Zhuo Yan checks Ah Yin's wounds every day. The wound on his eyelids has healed to some extent. After debridement, the wound area on his head is larger, but it changes every day. At this time, it has scabbed and a thin layer of soft skin has formed. of scab.

He felt that the orcs were genetically powerful and could handle it very well. If they were ordinary animals, they would be gone long ago.

What Zhuo Yan didn't know was that the orcs were indeed very tenacious, but A Yin had been seriously injured for so long, and coupled with hunger, he would have been dead if he let other orcs fall on him. However, A Yin had a very strong will to survive and survived several times. .

He couldn't die, he promised Zhuo Yan that he would be fine if he lived on.

After A Yin woke up, he had been sleeping for most of the day. Zhuo Yan was afraid that nutrients would be lost - he was already skinny and skinny. After feeding him some water in the past two days, Zhuo Yan slowly started to add bone soup, specially Skim off fat.

As soon as Ah Yin wakes up, Zhuo Yan personally feeds Ah Yin soup by the spoonful. At first it was only a few mouthfuls, but then it gradually increased, and he could drink it seven or eight times a day.

It has been less than half a month since Ah Yin ate minced meat for the first time.

After eating the minced meat for a few days, Zhuo Yan added potatoes as a complementary food. Ah Yin ate it very well, and Zhuo Yan's brother Jiang also ate it very well.

More than ten days have passed, and Ah Yin's appetite has obviously increased.

Two things happened to Zhuo Yan. The good news was that Ah Yin recovered quickly. The bad news was that they had finished the last piece of meat he had stocked up, the four-pound piece of dried white horn beef, and the three rabbits had already been eaten. All solved, only three skins remain.

The meat in the hole was completely exhausted.

As for the trap hunting in the grass pond by the river, in the past nearly half a month, no feathers were caught. Chickens and rabbits stopped coming. Zhuo Yan even changed places and only saw a few chicken feathers wrapped in the snow.

Well... there is indeed hair, but you can't eat it. It's really just hair!

At this time, the river surface was covered with thick ice. Zhuo Yan heard from Sister Qiao and others, as well as Xiao Zhuo Yan's memory, and analyzed and concluded that the entire winter lasted at least more than three months, and the middle month was the most difficult.

But there was no meat in their caves, so they faced the most difficult month.

Zhuo Yan: Ah! I don't really want to die, but I feel like I can't live any longer!

This morning, there were two baked potatoes. Zhuo Yan, as his brother, gave A Yin a big one. Now he felt like "Mom is not hungry, you can eat it". Zhuo Yan was so sad that he cried because of his own thoughts, but his face was stubborn. Said: "I'll go out to the river to see if there are any fish..."

Ah Yin obediently pushed the potatoes to her brother with her paws.

Zhuo Yan touched Ah Yin's head. He didn't know when hair had grown on the wound area. It was a short stubble and felt a little prickly, but it was quite easy to touch. Especially Ah Yin's eyes were healed and he had a pair of blue eyes.

"Brother, you're not hungry, really, you can eat."

Ah Yin is a bit cute and pretty.

And he is very well-behaved and listens to his words!

Satisfied, Brother Jiang went out to 'hunt' with a rattan basket on his back and a bucket.

Chapter 15

It may be that there is no end to the road. God saw that it was not easy for them, the orphaned brother and the widowed brother, so they raised their hands to show a glimmer of hope.

Although the fishing in the river failed three times this day, the harvest was full.

At this time, the river was completely frozen. The last time Zhuo Yan went upstream, there was not a single fish. He wondered if he could catch them on the narrow river surface, so today he took a detour to the narrow river surface. The ice here is very thick. , Zhuo Yan carefully poked it several times with a thick wooden stick on the river bank, but it didn't open.

As the force increased, a cracking sound was finally heard, and the ice layer was broken open. Zhuo Yan was overjoyed, bent down at the entrance of the hole and pulled it wider. After waiting for a long time, no fish was found.

On the contrary, he was shivering with cold.

At this time, I could feel the difference between the first month of winter and the middle month. Before that, he had been out doing activities every day, wearing a big leather jacket. It was a little cold but not as cold as today, with the cold wind scraping his bones like a knife.

Zhuo Yan rubbed his hands, thinking that it might be difficult to leave the cave in the future. He would have to boil snow water to use water. Fortunately, there is no environmental pollution in this world. The snow water can be boiled and settled, which is enough for scrubbing and cooking.

It's just... After eating the meat, you can't eat potatoes every day for a month, right?

He was okay, Ah Yin needed to replenish his health. Zhuo Yan: I cried so much that he is such a good brother.

After waiting for a long time at the entrance to the ice layer, Zhuo Yan felt his body was a little stiff and numb from the cold. He quickly stood up and moved, rubbing his wrist joints. He glanced at the entrance to the ice layer, but there was still nothing there, so he gave up and headed back with the empty bucket. Walk.

...Thinking about Ah Yin and looking at the empty bucket all the way back, Zhuo Yan refused to give up and looked back at the direction of the river where he often fetched water. He became as stubborn as before when he was playing scratch games.

Last time.

For the last time, if you haven't already, I'll chop it off (bushi).

Anyway, Zhuo Yan went to the river again. This time the river was wider and closer to home. He looked at the ice on the river and murmured to himself: "Fish, fish, it's not easy for us to be orphaned. This year I will eat you." , When spring comes next year, I will feed you some earthworms and bugs, I promise. "

The ice here is very thick, wide and thick. Zhuo Yan thought about it and removed the big skin from his body after thinking about it. Throwing it on the bank, he boldly went up to the middle of the river, and began to squat down carefully, chipping away at the ice with a wooden stick.

When he heard the cracking sound, Zhuo Yan gently and slowly stepped back a few steps, stabilized his body, and found that the ice mouth did not spread. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and used his hands to open the hole. .

It's snowing again.

Zhuo Yan was wearing only a waistcoat and a leather skirt. He was afraid that if he accidentally fell into the water, the big leather would get in the way and sink even more when soaked in cold water. He was also afraid of being washed away. He didn't have anything to keep out the cold at home, so he was holding on to the wind and snow and waiting.

Fortunately -

"Fish!"

After waiting for tens of seconds that seemed like minutes, Zhuo Yan couldn't tell clearly from the freezing point. But the moment he saw the swarms of fish rushing out of the hole, the heat in his heart faded away. Due to the cold, my hands and feet began to catch fish almost instinctively.

Lots of fish.

Zhuo Yan caught a full bucket, poured it into the rattan basket by the river, and filled another bucket. At this time, there were fewer fish, and no fish appeared after a long wait. The weather was very cold now, and Zhuo Yan was a little numb and stiff from the cold. I squatted again, went ashore, wrapped my skin in my body, and headed home in full swing.

It was getting dark again at this moment. There was almost no sun when it came out in winter. The sky was gray all day long, and the snow was shimmering with cold light. It was easy to be depressed in such weather, but Zhuo Yan was not.

There is A Yin in the cave.

Now returning with a full load and full of enthusiasm, when Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket and the bucket to the entrance of the cave, A Yin was whining.

"It's me, I'm back." Zhuo Yan carried the barrel with both hands. The snow on the way back was too thick and it was uphill. When he got home, he was out of breath and could only use his hands. Finally he arrived home.

Zhuo Yan first placed the barrel and basket beside the kitchen, shook off the snow on his body at the door, and closed the door.

Ah Yin was still on the stone bed, weak and unable to walk. While Zhuo Yan was working, he said to Ah Yin: "I'm fine. I brought back a lot of fish. I remember there is still one white horn bone left. Use this to make soup and we eat fish balls."

That white horn bone The bones have actually been cooked once, but Zhuo Yan is reluctant to eat the meat from the bones, thinking that it can be cooked again to make it taste better.

These fish can last at least a month.

After Zhuo Yan shook off the snow on his body, he felt cold just standing at the door. The temperature in the cave was not as good as before. He couldn't help but look at the wooden door, "Let's hang that big leather on the door first. It's too dirty. Let's squeeze in together tonight." Take one and I'll wash it in the spring next year."

He couldn't help but look at Ah Yin after he finished speaking, and was attracted by Ah Yin's cuteness.

A Yin's ears on the stone bed stood up, and she looked at him with blue eyes. When she saw him looking over, she responded, oozing, and shaking her head.

Zhuo Yan:! ! !

Hey hey hey.

It's still early to start cooking, so let's take a break. Zhuo Yan stretched out his claws and went to the bedside. On the pretext of checking Ah Yin's wounds, he rubbed Ah Yin. Ah Yin was very obedient and would open her belly for him to touch and use her belly to keep her brother warm.

The hard work of struggling to work in the wind, snow and ice all morning disappeared in an instant. I felt happy and full of energy. Zhuo Yan touched Ah Yin's ears. Unlike leopards' round ears, Ah Yin's ears were round and a little pointy, and their hair was longer. The two of them slept on the same bed. To be honest, natural fur was very warm.

So that big piece of leather was hung in front of the door at night before going to bed.

At this time, Zhuo Yan still had endless work to do. He had to clean up the fish. Instead of going to the river to fetch water, he directly boiled the snow water, removed the scales and internal organs of the fish, being careful not to break the gall, and cleaned up the fish in one go. Take it back and defrost it before eating later.

You can put the fish in a rattan basket by the door at night, where the temperature will be cooler.

Zhuo Yan was working, his whole body smelled of fish, A Yin whined on the stone bed, Zhuo Yan smiled and said: "Wait a moment, I will carry you over."

The dirty leather was spread on the floor, and Zhuo Yan held it in his arms Ah Yin comes to the top.

A Yin nudged Zhuo Yan's hand with his nose. Zhuo Yan knew that A Yin was getting close to him and pushed back. A Yin licked his finger. Zhuo Yan said: "..." "

Cook it and eat it. If you eat it raw, you might get upset."

Ah Yin didn't want to eat it, he just wanted to get close to his brother instinctively. When he heard that his brother had misunderstood, he put his head under his palm. Zhuo Yan rubbed it again and said, "Okay. Just lie down and warm yourself by the fire."

"Aww." Ah Yin whined and got up obediently, looking at her brother.

Zhuo Yan collected the fish's internal organs and scales and thought of setting traps as usual. Although he hadn't caught anything for more than half a month, he would give it a try. Anyway, he couldn't leave these at home for fear of attracting things.

By the time all the fish were taken care of, it was already cold and snowy outside, and it was hard to tell what time it was. Zhuo Yan first took a fish. The fish was really big and fat, weighing at least five or six kilograms. But after thinking about it, Ah Yin had a good appetite recently and was recovering from an injury. Logically, he shouldn't eat fish, but he didn't. The solution is this is the only meat dish at home.

So I took another one.

Zhuo Yan started to remove the bones. The old rule is to stew fish heads and taro soup, which can be eaten tomorrow. Today, fish balls are cooked in beef bone soup, and the fish meat is still attached to the skin. Zhuo Yan will not waste any leftovers that can be eaten. .

There are a few big potatoes buried next to the fire. The fish meat is almost chopped here. Pull out the roasted potatoes, let them cool and peel off the skin. Put the potatoes and fish meat in a large bowl and start stirring and beating them. They will become sticky and strong. The bone soup in the pot is boiling and it's time to make the meatballs.

The wind and snow howled loudly outside.

Ah Yin listened attentively, then quickly turned his head back. He looked at his brother enthusiastically with his blue eyes and rested his head with his front paws. He had never had such a life before. His brother loved him very much and cooked for him. Take care of him, touch him every day, and praise him for being beautiful and cute.

My brother is the best brother in the world.

He has a brother.

Even if it hurts, Ah Yin will endure it. He still wants to live with his brother, even if he is always hungry, he still wants to be together, but his brother cannot starve.

A pot of delicious bone soup fish balls is ready.

Zhuo Yan was serving rice to Ah Yin, and when he noticed that Ah Yin was touching his hand with his claws, he paused and said, "Is that enough?" Isn't it? He looked at the amount in the bowl and saw that this was just a spoonful, so he gave Ah Yin another spoonful.

"Eat it, eat it. It's enough for today."

Two fishes, with the bones and heads removed, are still six or seven kilograms of meat, which is definitely enough. Zhuo Yan cooked a large pot, thinking that he could heat it up and eat it for breakfast tomorrow.

Ah Yin looked at his brother, tilted his head, and did not eat first. Zhuo Yan looked at it and understood instantly, "I'll eat it too." He filled two spoons for himself. If he didn't want to eat it, Ah Yin wouldn't eat it, so he blew it to cool it down and took a sip of the soup.

So fresh.

The fish balls have a rich texture because of the addition of mashed potatoes and fish skin. The fish skin is a bit elastic, the mashed potatoes are soft and glutinous, and the fish meat is delicious. It is really good.

Zhuo Yan took a big sip and looked down at A Yin. When A Yin saw him eating, he started to eat too.

There was only the sound of snoring in the cave. Seeing that A Yin had finished eating, Zhuo Yan gave A Yin two more spoons. He asked for a spoon himself, while touching A Yin's head, he said: "We can't tear open the belly now." It's okay to be half full with soup and meatballs. "

"Eat it."

"If you don't have to eat anymore, let's tighten it up. You haven't recovered from your injuries yet."

He is still thin. Can be picked up.

Ah Yin listened to his brother's words and rubbed his hand with his head. Zhuo Yan smiled happily and rubbed Ah Yin's ears smoothly. It was really easy to touch!

At night, the big leather suit was hung behind the door to block the cold wind. Zhuo Yan carried Ah Yin onto the stone bed with a piece of leather under him. Ah Yin leaned in the corner and let his brother sleep on the leather. Zhuo Yan did not refuse. , just said: "Come closer, let's sleep next to each other, you will be warm." This is the truth.

Ah Yin's eyes lit up, and she pawed at her brother.

The firewood in the cave went out. Nowadays, Zhuo Yan doesn't light firewood at night. He wants to save some money, so he and A Yin cuddle up to keep each other warm. A Yin's hair grows very fast, and it is fluffy and warm.

"No wonder they say it's hard for sub-orcs to survive the winter without orcs." Zhuo Yan sighed.

That furry thing is really a heating tool.

Ah Yin's ears stood up. In the darkness, his eyes could see everything clearly. His blue eyes looked at his brother. He carefully stuck out his tongue and touched his brother's hair gently. When he saw his brother raising his head, he quickly took it back. tongue.

Zhuo Yan:?

Did your head feel a little windy just now?

Now it's gone again. Then go to sleep. Zhuo Yan put his body close to A Yin, making it airtight. The leather used as his quilt was a bit small, so he could only sleep next to each other. He had done too much work during the day, and now he was sleepy. Before going to bed, he muttered: "A Yin, you Come in and don't catch a cold..."

Ah Yin responded by carefully touching her brother's cheek with her nose.

Ugh.

He slept very well that night and was very warm. When he woke up the next day, Zhuo Yan found that the 'quilt' was all over him, and Ah Yin was still wrapping his body around him in her arms - no wonder it was very warm.

Zhuo Yan woke up, and so did A Yin.

"Are you cold? Goodbye from now on." Zhuo Yan covered Ah Yin with the quilt, "You can rest for a while, and I'll heat up the food and get some snow."

Ah Yin whined and lay down in the quilt obediently . My brother saw that he was very obedient.

Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's ears, and when he got off the ground wearing a small leather skirt and waistcoat, he realized that it was indeed very cold, especially when he went to the living room - he called the place where the built-in stone bed did not face the door directly, bedroom, living room. It is directly connected to the gate.

"It seems to have cooled down."

It's not like it has cooled down. It's like the temperature has dropped suddenly.

The leather that Zhuo Yan hung on the back of the door last night was frozen solid. When he took it off, the cracks in the wooden door were full of air-conditioning. When he opened the door, he realized something was wrong. It was already too late. The door seemed to be shaking. After opening it, All of them rushed into the snow.

It was completely white outside, the wind and snow were so strong that one could hardly keep his eyes open, and the snow at the entrance of the cave was up to his waist -

it was impossible to catch fish anymore.

Zhuo Yan discovered this fact. He thought he could go there later, but he didn't expect the temperature to drop so quickly. The snow at the entrance of the cave needs to be cleared today, otherwise it will crush his door.

And it was impossible to bury the bucket of fish waste that I had saved yesterday.

Not to mention making traps, it is impossible to smash the ice to catch fish. At this time, Zhuo Yan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had not given up and was stubborn when he came back yesterday to get those fish. Otherwise, he would have to eat potatoes for the next twenty or thirty days. .

Now clear the snow from the entrance of the cave.

Ah Yin, who was on the bed, stretched out his claws and tried his best to prop up his body. He wanted to clear the snow with his brother -

once or twice, he propped himself up and fell on the stone bed until he stood up tremblingly.

Chapter 16

The wind and snow are too heavy.

The blow made Zhuo Yan a little unsteady, and then he felt a heat in his waist. Zhuo Yan turned around and saw Ah Yin pressing his head against his waist. Zhuo Yan was overjoyed, but he didn't bother to open his mouth to say anything. It's all cold wind, so just close the door and let the brothers enjoy the snow together.

Sweeping snow is also a physical job. By the end of the work, Zhuo Yan's whole body was hot and steaming. When all the snow at the entrance of the cave was swept away and he could close the door, Zhuo Yan rubbed his hands and felt that the hair on his head was steaming.

"I have to make a shovel today." It doesn't need to be as sharp as a shovel, just wood. It's just for shoveling snow.

A Yin rubbed his head against his brother and nodded. Zhuo Yan smiled and squatted down to touch A Yin's head. "Do you know what a shovel is?"

A Yin didn't know. A Yin only knew what his brother wanted to do. A Yin was good at it. .

Zhuo Yan understood from A Yin's face, and couldn't help but put his face against A Yin's furry cheek, "Okay A Yin, let's eat, now I'm feeling hot all over."

He just heated up the leftover fish ball soup from yesterday, and Zhuo Yan gave it another Taro is put in it and it is stewed to a pulp, and the leftover rice actually tastes better - even more delicious.

One person and one leopard ate hot food around the fire. The fish balls were fresh and sweet, and the taro was soft and glutinous and still slightly sweet when you tasted it carefully. After dinner, snow was added to the pot, and the firewood was not extinguished. I just left it. One has some residual warmth and light.

Zhuo Yan started making a wooden shovel, and Ah Yin leaned over to watch carefully what his brother was doing.

After the big stone pot was cleaned, Zhuo Yan poured out the water, added snow and started to heat it. This time it was water that he would drink for a day. He also wanted to wash his face and brush his teeth. He wiped A Yin's face by the way, and A Yin watched his brother brush his teeth. When I was young, I also imitated my brother, drinking water and spitting it out.

"Ah Yin, you are so smart!"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Ah Yin rubbed her head against her brother.

In the afternoon, he swept the snow from the entrance of the cave again. Zhuo Yan thought that when the weather gets hotter next spring, he would build a shed outside the entrance of the cave, and then put the kitchen outside and move it in during the winter.

There is also a broom. The grass in the grass can actually be used as a broom.

Zhuo Yan was doing the work at hand and chatting with Ah Yin about his plans in his mind. Ah Yin couldn't understand, but he just leaned his head against his brother and wrapped his tail around his waist to keep him warm.

He was not tired after a day's work. Zhuo Yan took a rest after working for a while, and touched Rua Yin again. Soon the wooden shovel was ready. Before going to bed at night, he cleared the snow at the door again, and ate grilled fish in the evening. .

I found the largest fish, which weighed seven or eight kilograms, and they ate it equally.

"There are still eighteen fish, one every day from now on."

The fish was split in the middle and placed on the stone slab. It was grilled until it was a little brown, and it was ready to eat after being sprinkled with some coarse salt. There is not much salt in Zhuoyan, so you add less every time you eat, and the taste is light. The food here tastes very good, so it is very fragrant.

The fish skin is charred and crispy, and the meat is very tender. This fish Zhuoyan doesn't know very well. The spines are very thick, with only one row of bone spines and very few fine spines.

Zhuo Yan separated the thorns for A Yin, fearing that they would get stuck in his throat.

Ah Yin looked at his brother, watching everything he did with his blue eyes, and looking at the fish on the stone board. He also wanted to find fish bones for his brother. He raised his paw, looked at his own paw, and lowered it again.

Zhuo Yan didn't see this scene, so he prepared the fish and put it in Ah Yin's bowl, "Eat it, be careful when you eat it, be careful of the sting." He was used to taking care of his cat, and he didn't pay attention until he took a few bites of the fish. Ah Yin lowered his head and didn't eat any fish.

"What's wrong?"

Ah Yin just rubbed his brother's leg. Zhuo Yan thought A Yin was thanking him for being coquettish, so he touched A Yin's ears and said, "Eat it, eat it, it's delicious."

The grilled fish was really delicious.

The day passed peacefully. He boiled water and scrubbed before going to bed. Zhuo Yan still hung the big leather bag on the back of the door. Ah Yin, because his brother had just wiped his feet, would lie down on the stone bed to warm his brother's bed.

Zhuo Yan finished everything, checked the door bolt, and got into bed under the dim light of the fire. As soon as he got into bed, a large furry man pressed up against him, Zhuo Yan:! ! !

It's so warm~~

Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's wound and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

A Yin shook his head, and Zhuo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be recovering well.

Because the outdoor temperature dropped sharply, Zhuo Yan huddled in Ah Yin's arms, stretched out his arms under the quilt, and covered Ah Yin with the leather.

"Listen to me and don't give it all to me secretly." Zhuo Yan said.

Ah Yin swung his tail and froze, and finally let out a small whine. Zhuo Yan heard it and couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay Ah Yin, go to sleep."

This night, Ah Yin did not throw all the blame on his brother. He also had skin on his body, but he stretched his body as much as possible, hugged his brother tightly in his arms, wrapped his furry tail around his brother's feet, and his brother's feet even touched his tail.

My brother touched him again.

In the darkness, Ah Yin's blue eyes were filled with a happy smile. This was an emotion that Ah Yin had never experienced before.

Although his stomach was growling and he was hungry, Ah Yin didn't care. He put away his sharp nails and rested his big furry head on his brother's head, so that his head could not get cold.

Another warm night.

Zhuo Yan slept very well. In the morning, he felt something licking his face, with a little sting and pain. At first, Zhuo Yan thought he was dreaming and hummed randomly. When he woke up, he saw A Yin. Pair of blue eyes.

Wait, was that lick just now—

A Yin's tongue?

Ah Yin's clear eyes reflected his shadow wholeheartedly, and the expression on her face was a bit stiff to please, as if she was afraid that he would notice her behavior just now. Zhuo Yan thought about it for a moment. Leopards are cats, and cats have a natural tendency to lick their fur. Ah Yin couldn't help but give him a lick to show that he liked him.

...This is also a good thing, don't dampen children's enthusiasm.

Zhuo Yan pretended that nothing happened and even touched Ah Yin's ear, "Good morning Ah Yin."

"Ah wu ah wu~" Ah Yin let out a low purr in his throat, flicked his tail and rubbed his head. Rubbing my brother's neck, he is not angry!

Zhuo Yan was a little itchy and laughed.

After the fun, today it was again shoveling snow and cooking.

The visibility outside is extremely low, and the snowstorm has almost never stopped. The snow shoveled last night opened the door this morning, and it was waist high again. Zhuo Yan planned to use stones or wooden boards to prop up the back of the door tonight. He was afraid that the door would collapse.

It's pitch black inside the cave. Although orcs and sub-orcs also have very good vision at night, it's different. It's really hard for a person to live in a cave without a companion for a long time without seeing the sun.

Now, Zhuo Yan is very glad that he came back with A Yin on his back.

After a few days of this, Zhuo Yan would make some tools while cooking during the day - a thick wooden stake more than one meter long held in both arms, plates, large bowls, spoons, chopsticks, and two wooden stools connected to each other. Etc., wood chips are all fuel for fires.

Zhuo Yan records the number of winter days every day, and today is the fifty-fifth day.

On this day, Zhuo Yan moved the stone pot behind the door, opened the door, and unexpectedly found that the snowstorm outside had stopped. The snow that originally reached the height of his chest had now reached his waist. During the coldest two days ago, The snow reached his chest.

It's really scary.

After shoveling the snow, they had breakfast, a simple baked potato. Zhuo Yan added fish head soup to the two of them, which was a bit of meat, and waited for breakfast to be over.

"...The cave seems a little brighter than yesterday."

It has been dark for too long. Zhuo Yan misses the sun too much and needs to be more sensitive to light.

No matter what her brother said, Ah Yin always nodded. Zhuo Yan smiled, got up and went to open the door to take a look. When he opened the door, the sun outside pierced the clouds, even if it was just a little bit, it fell on him.

"The sun is here! Ah Yin, come out and bask in the sun!" Zhuo Yan said in surprise.

Ah Yin had followed him when he opened the door. Now he was squatting by his brother's legs, imitating his brother's example, trying to raise his head to look at the sky. He didn't know why he did this, and he didn't know what he was looking at. , but my brother did it, and so did he.

"Sneeze!" Zhuo Yan sneezed.

Ah Yin ran back to the cave and soon had a piece of leather in his mouth. Zhuo Yan took it and wrapped it in leather. Although the air was still very cold and mixed with scattered snowflakes, Zhuo Yan still did not go back. He was a little happy and said: "The sun is out. Winter is almost over. Even if it is not over, I should be able to go back." The temperature in the first month..."

On this day, Zhuo Yan was in a good mood and stewed a fish for lunch. The next day

, after opening the door, Zhuo Yan gestured, and the snow only reached his waist -

"It seems to be a little shorter than yesterday."

"The weather is good today, and the clouds are thinner."

Not long after Zhuo Yan was cooking at noon, Ah Yin, who was originally accompanying him, suddenly sat up and looked at the entrance of the cave with some caution. Zhuo Yan was also stunned for a moment, and then became nervous.

"Is there someone? Oh no, there are animals?" Is there a tide of beasts? Zhuo Yan lowered his voice and asked A Yin.

Ah Yin nodded, stood up, and stood in front of his brother.

Zhuo Yan looked at Ah Yin in front of him. He was still in the body of a cub, because there was nothing delicious in winter. Every day, he stewed fish with potatoes and taro or grilled fish. He drank fish head soup until he was full, not to mention the animal shape. Ah Yin must have not eaten enough.

But at this time, the young A Yin stood in front of him to protect him.

Zhuo Yan was moved to tears, his great brother!

One person and one leopard waited for a few minutes. There was a sound outside the door, a knock on the door.

"???" Zhuo Yan hadn't socialized for fifty-five days, and it took him a while to realize. "The knocking on the door means it's not a tide of beasts."

Following his voice, the wind and snow outside mixed with words: "Zhuo Yan "Zhuo Yan, are you still alive? Oh, the door is closed, and there is still a smell. Zhuo Yan is probably not dead. Please open the door."

Zhuo Yan heard the voice and was very happy, "I'm here, I'm here." Still alive, Aman, I'm still alive." He touched Ah Yin in front of him, "It's my friend, Ah Yin, my friend is here."

When the door opened, there were Aman, Qiao, and Ada in animal form. A leopard in animal form.

Zhuo Yan invited a few people in, and Aman chirped: "This is my sister. I begged her for many days before she agreed to come and see you when the wind and snow subside."

"Xiao Xian and Shi Shi both want to see if you are still there. Are you alive? "Xiao Xian asked me to bring you some meat."

"I don't have much left at home, so I can only give you these." "It would be great if

you didn't die."

, it was such a mess, Qiao couldn't get a word in at all, he could only look at Zhuo Yan carefully with a smile on his face, and he was happy when he saw that Zhuo Yan was safe.

Zhuo Yan was so happy that he went to La Aman to see Sister Qiao again. He chatted and asked Xiao Xian and Shi Shi how they were doing. Everyone talked about the things in the cave in winter, and they were all pretty good. At first, when winter first came, a few of them were still I can visit and stay close.

When the snowstorm is thick, it is impossible to travel unless there is an orc who transforms into an animal to carry the orc on his back. Ada cares about Qiao and goes over to see him from time to time. And Aman's sister got married and went to her parents on the first day of the blizzard. Looking at the situation in the cave, he was entangled by his younger brother Aman, so he could only agree to wait until the wind and snow subsided before taking his younger brother to look for Zhuo Yan, a sub-orc.

The three sub-orcs were very happy and did not notice at all that the other two orcs in the cave were looking at another place - A Yin.

Sisters Ada and Aman were both in animal form, and their eyes were sharp. Ayin looked back without timidity or fear. Finally, sister Aman looked away casually and made a low sound.

"Ah? Are you going back now? Sister, I still have a lot to say, okay, okay, I understand." Aman reluctantly agreed. After all, orcs rarely betray other sub-orcs after they form partners.

He said before he came that he would listen to his sister.

Qiao was also afraid that Ada had been waiting for too long. The weather was actually not good for going out now. She gave the meat to Zhuo Yan and just wanted to see if Zhuo Yan was fine.

"Are you going back now? I want to keep you for lunch." Zhuo Yan took the meat that his friends had crowdfunded for him, "Wait for me, wait for me."

He went to find the fish.

At this time, Aman discovered something else in the corner of the cave -

"Ahhhhhhh, Zhuo Yan!!!"

Zhuo Yan was startled, "Ah? What's wrong? What's the matter?" He was holding it with both hands. The stiff fish looked confused.

"Do you like the white-haired boy so much? In the middle of winter, you don't even have enough to eat and are about to starve to death. You still have to take him back to the cave. You, you, you..."

Aman looked like 'You're not living up to expectations' , 'Don't be too in love', 'You are in love' have similar meanings.

Zhuo Yan: ...

Please be more pure, our relationship is not the kind of relationship you think!

Chapter 17

Probably because there were two orcs, Ada and Sister Aman, although Aman was full of words, in the end his eyes fell tangledly on A Yin and then on Zhuo Yan. He opened and closed his mouth, opened and closed it again. ——Zhuo

Yan carried four hard fish and thrust two of them into A Man's hands without ceremony, and two in Sister Qiao's hands. He pretended not to see the "yellow storm" content on A Man's face and explained: " The fish I caught some time ago have been processed. Thank you for remembering me. If it is convenient, when the snowstorm stops, please bring Xiao Xian and the rocks. These two are for you."

"Zhuo Yan, you have enough . "Is that so?" Joe held the two fish with a worried look on his face, "I asked other people, there is still food in the cave."

Only then did Aman notice the things in his hands and said with disgust, "This is very disgusting." It's terrible. You've already eaten this. What else can you give us?"

"No, the fish is delicious."

"I've eaten it before. It's very bitter." A'man felt that Zhuo Yan's tough mouth must be because of the food. He had eaten the white-haired boy, so he had nothing to eat, so he relied on eating this. "Why are you so polite? We won't eat this. The meat is bitter and has many thorns."

Zhuo Yan's life was indeed very difficult.

"Bitter? Did you scratch the gall when handling it? It must be true. There is gall in the fish's internal organs. If the gall is broken, the stool will be bitter. I'll clean it up. When you go back, you can chop it into pieces and add it to the potatoes - it's pureed bean soup.

"You guys come to see me. I don't have anything good, but this is the only one I can use. I'm very grateful to everyone." Zhuo

Yan said very seriously. In such weather, the two of them would trouble the orcs to come over. , that really treats him as a good friend and partner.

Naturally, he also wants to repay the other person's feelings.

Aman felt it, and actually wanted to return the fish. Zhuo Yan was not enough to eat alone, and now there was a white-haired boy, but Qiao stopped him and said, "We should accept Zhuo Yan's kindness."

"Then. He's not enough." Aman muttered.

Qiao Xiao said: "If we give him meat and Zhuo Yan doesn't want it, you will be angry."

"Of course, I begged my sister for many days before she brought me here. If he doesn't want the meat, that's too much." People are angry." Aman understood what Qiao meant as he spoke, so he happily accepted the fish. Even if the fish was very bitter, he would not waste it. "I will finish it."

Zhuo Yan raised his face . With a smile, I sent the friends out of the cave - Sister Aman and Ada had been waiting outside the cave entrance.

The few of them stopped chatting. Aman, wrapped in leather and holding the fish with both hands, climbed onto his sister's back, and Qiao also climbed onto Ada's back. As soon as Aman sat down, his sister ran as fast as lightning, leaving only Aman's vague voice in the wind and snow.

"Zhuo Yan - you - die -"

It should be "don't die", but the other words were blown away by the wind. Zhuo Yan shouted: "I know, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't die!" Strengthen the farewell!

Brothers and sisters, the elder sister is not polite to her younger brother, it is better to run away first.

As for the unmarried couple, Ada was very patient with Joe. At this time, Qiao sat firmly and did not set off. Qiao wrapped the fish in his arms and looked at Zhuo Yan, his eyes vaguely worried, passing through Zhuo Yan's figure and falling on the white-haired boy who was following behind.

Zhuo Yan understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Qiao, Ah Yin is very well behaved."

"Okay, we'll see you again when the snow melts," Qiao said.

Zhuo Yan: "Okay, see you in the spring!"

Everyone must spend this snow season safely.

After Qiao said it was okay, Ada got up. She was not running very fast and steadily, unlike sister Aman just now, who ran like an afterimage all the way, and the word "Bi" in Aman's head was lost.

Zhuo Yan watched the two people disappear into the snow with a smile on his face. He turned around and touched A Yin's head and said happily: "It's great. They are both my friends, Qiao and A Man. Qiao is very gentle." Careful, Aman is a kind-hearted person, and he is very loyal."

"There are also Xiaoxian and Shitou."

Zhuo Yan closed the cave door, talking a lot, and told A Yin about his friends, "You should have been before. I've seen it before."

Ah Yin nodded and rubbed his brother's leg.

Zhuo Yan sat down and saw that the fish head soup in the pot was almost ready. He couldn't help but sigh: "They came in a hurry and left quickly without leaving them to eat." He served rice to himself and A Yin and waited for it to cool. After a while, he was still very interested in talking and continued the topic just now.

"Shitou usually doesn't like to talk much, but he is actually quite attentive. Maybe because he has a younger sister at home, he takes good care of Xiaoxian and us since we were young."

"Xiaoxian's family is full of brothers. He is as old as you. , I don't have any opinion, just my catchphrase, but as soon as I touched his ears, he turned into leopard ears, so cute."

Ah Yin tilted his head, "How cute"? My brother praised the orc Xiao Xian for being cute. Does he like touching the leopard's ears?

Zhuo Yan was chatting about his friends when he felt his hands were furry. When he lowered his head, he saw Ah Yin squeezing a furry head into his arms and rubbing her head against his palm. She looked at him with a pair of blue eyes, full of enthusiasm. Please.

Why are you so angry?

Zhuo Yan was so cute, "Okay, okay, brother, touch Ah Yin, touch, touch, touch~" He thought, since Ah Yin is half wolf, there is no difference between the wolf and Erha (bushi).

Ah Yin flicked his tail and whined lowly.

The atmosphere in the cave was very happy that day. And Amanqiao had just delivered the fish to Xiao Xian Shitou. Xiao Xian was quite confused when he saw the frozen fish, "This fish is so bitter."

"Zhuo Yan gave it to you, eat it, don't waste it." Aman Qiao explain.

When Xiao Xian heard this, he hugged the fish and said, "Brother Zhuo Yan's life is so hard, eat this fish."

"I also said, forget what he thinks, if it's not delicious, it's not good to eat." Aman didn't Dare to say more, his sister was still waiting. After delivering the fish, she remembered before leaving, "By the way, let me tell you one thing. Zhuo Yan and Bai Mao Zai got better, and they even gave Bai Mao Zai a name. Ah Yin."

Sister Aman growled, it was getting dark and the wind and snow were getting stronger.

"Come on, come on, I'm leaving first." Aman didn't dare to delay, and his voice disappeared into the wind and snow again, scattering all the way.

Xiao Xian holding the fish:? ? ? ha! ! !

Brother Zhuo Yan and Bai Mao Zai are okay? !

The caves of Qiao and Shitou's house were very close. Qiao went to bring fish to Shitou and briefly said that Zhuo Yan looked good and the cave was very warm. Shitou was silent as always, just nodded and looked more relaxed.

When he was about to leave at the end, Qiao actually couldn't hold back and said, "There is a white-haired boy in Zhuoyan Cave."

"Huh?!" Shitou, who had always been honest and taciturn, was so shocked by these words that his expression was shattered.

Qiao: "The white-haired boy is now called A Yin. Zhuo Yan got the name. Zhuo Yan seems to like A Yin very much. I will go back first. When the snow stops and the sun comes out, we will go find Zhuo Yan."

Shitou hugged The fish looked dazed and shocked.

In winter, everyone has been depressed in the cave for a long time. To the outside world, people who did not like to inquire about other small things in other caves will now ask a few questions: What did Qiao/Aman say when he came just now.

Xiao Xian was the liveliest one and gave the fish to his grandma first, "Mom, Zhuo Yan gave me the fish."

The two brothers said to each other next to them, "Aren't you most afraid of this? It tastes bitter." "You exchange your meat for bitter fish."

Xiao Xian's father hit his two sons on the head, "No. You're bullying your brother like this."

"I'll bear the pain, too." Xiao Xian hummed to his two brothers first, thinking about another thing, "Mom and dad, the white-haired boy from the tribe is in Zhuoyan Cave. He's not dead."

In fact, Xiao Xian's father heard what A Man just said. Even though it was windy and snowy at the entrance of the cave, the beast man's ears were very good. At this time, Xiao Xian's mother was surprised at first, "Huh?" Then she came to her senses. , nodded and said: "Actually, it's quite good. That child is very pitiful. I've met his mother, and his beast father doesn't care about him..."

Before cooking, Xiao Xian said that he was angry with his two brothers before cooking. Grandma couldn't resist eating fish. In fact, she ate too much meat in the cave. She thought it would be better to cook fish for a change, so she asked Xiao Xian to cook fish.

Xiao Xian imitated Zhuo Yan to cook, boiling snow water, scraping the skins of mud beans, and throwing taro into the pot to stew together. Before the pot was even boiled, a different fragrance floated in the cave.

The two orc brothers, contrary to their previous boredom and laziness, actively gathered around the pot.

"It's a bit fragrant."

"Maybe it just smells good, but it actually tastes very unpleasant and bitter."

Xiao Xian stirred the soup with a spoon, looked up at his brother and said, "You don't know what Zhuo Yan does? Both will be delicious. This fish is definitely different from the bitter fish."

He also wanted to go to Zhuoyan Cave before, but his two brothers were unwilling to carry him, and his mother and father were afraid that he would be in danger and would not allow him to go out. Hui Xiaoxian wanted to show off Zhuo Yan's fish, and Zhuo Yan was already very smart.

"You will know after one bite. Zhuo Yan is different from before."

"Yes, yes, your sub-orc friend likes beasts now."

Xiao Xian: Damn it, his brother is really a bad guy.

"If you say so, I won't share the fish with you." Xiao Xian was so angry that his ears turned furry again.

The beast father slapped his two sons on the head. The two sons obviously loved Xiao Xian very much, but their mouth made their brother cry every time. The two brothers looked at each other when they saw Xiao Xian's red eyes and furry ears.

"Okay, please brother, give us a bite."

"I won't talk about your orc companion from now on."

Xiao Xian was unmoved.

"When the wind and snow subsides, I can carry you to that sub-orc man's house to play.

" Xiaoxian's furry ears twitched, "Really, brother?!"

"Wow, brother, you agree to this, but you only have to carry me on your back." "My friend."

"Really."

Xiao Xian was very happy. Xiao Xian shared a lot of meat with his eldest brother in the pot of fish soup that day - except for his father and mother, he had the most meat. But when Xiao Xian took his first bite of fish soup and took his first bite of meat, he regretted giving his elder brother so much.

Because -

"The meat is not bitter, delicious and fragrant!"

After eating barbecue and barbecue for a long time, a pot of fish soup couldn't be more delicious. Even though there was a lot of meat in the cave, at first Xiao Xian wanted to share some meat with another sub-orc friend. Xiao Xian's father and mother were a little reluctant, but Xiao Xian saved the meat for himself and ate very little, mostly eating puree. bean.

The parents loved Xiao Xian so much that they finally agreed and asked Xiao Xian to stay away.

At this time, the family was drinking fish soup, and Xiao Xian's grandma said: "Your partner Zhuo Yan cherishes your heart, and he is a good partner."

Xiao Xian was happy, next to her grandma, her furry ears were Because he was excited, he nodded his head and said, "That's right, Zhuo Yan is so smart!"

It's just that he has bad eyesight, how could he like the white-haired boy?

The white-haired boy is so weak and can't hunt. If he partners with the white-haired boy, he will starve.

The most important thing is that there is no way to give birth to Zai Zai. He remembers that Zhuo Yan likes Zai Zai very much. The last time he saw Brother Shitou's sister, Zhuo Yan's eyes were shining.

well.

Fish was also cooked that day in Shitou's cave. Shitou's sister was gathered around the fire. The delicious smell of the fish soup made the cub sniff anxiously and look at the pot eagerly. His mother stopped him and rubbed it. Hold Zaizai's ears and ask him to wait, be careful of the fire burning his tail.

My father asked: "Qiao gave you a fish today, what else did he say?"

"Zhuo Yan and Bai Mao Zai are ready." The stone-heavy man was worried about Zhuo Yan and murmured to himself: "Maybe he hasn't married yet. , Zhuo Yan is not yet an adult..."

It's still too late, but Zhuo Yan likes Bai Maozi so much.

What a distress.

Zhuo Yan had no idea that his gossip and scandal had become deeply ingrained in people's minds and that they were deeply entrenched in their opinions.

At this moment, Zhuo Yan and A Yin had just finished clearing the snow at the entrance of the cave. They were sweating profusely from their work. After taking a rest, the two of them happily sat around the stone slab for a while. First barbecue in months!

Sister Qiao Aman brought him meat of all kinds. He couldn't tell what kind of meat it was. Some were fat and some were thin, and they were all about the size of a fist. She collected more than ten pieces of meat. Such scattered pieces of meat, Zhuo Yan knew , which his four good friends tried their best to save for him.

How could you not be moved?

Zhuo Yan was crying in his heart and drooling on his lips.

On the stone board, the fat meat was fried with grease, sizzling, golden and crispy on both sides. Zhuo Yan swallowed hard again and put the first piece in Ah Yin's bowl.

Ah Yin raised his front paws and pushed the plate with his nose. His brother ate first.

"Right away - Gudong, I have some too." Zhuo Yan swallowed without hesitation, put the second piece in his bowl, and looked at A Yin, "Eat it, eat it, be careful not to burn it."

This is too delicious! ! !

Chapter 18

Zhuo Yan has been in a good mood in recent days. Since Sister Qiao and A Man came to visit, not only because of the meat to eat, but also because he is in a high mood every day. On this day, he even boiled a pot of snow water and scrubbed Ah Yin. , I also took a shower and had my hair carefully trimmed.

"It's been a while since I've been a little sloppy. I still need to cheer up and be clean at home." Zhuo Yan hugged A Yin and warmed himself by the fire.

Ah Yin raised his head to look at his brother, and then his ears were rubbed by his brother. Ah Yin was very happy and howled. Zhuo Yan was also very happy and kissed A Yin's head naturally. He saw A Yin was stunned for a moment.

"How-"

The next second, Ah Yin stuck out her tongue and carefully licked his chin. This time it was Zhuo Yan's turn to be stunned, but he saw that A Yin's blue eyes were pure and happy, and after thinking about it for a moment, it was no big deal.

He used to kiss his grandchildren. The little guys were very naughty. They would step on his head every day and stick out their tongues to lick him.

Ah Yin saw that her brother was not angry and smiled happily.

"Why are you so angry?" Zhuo Yan complained with a smile and touched A Yin's ears.

Ah Yin moaned lowly. If there were an orc around, he would definitely understand and be completely speechless. What this guy meant was: I am my brother's puppy.

My brother likes puppies, so Ah Yin is his puppy.

Ah Yin is whatever he likes.

Zhuo Yan didn't understand at all, otherwise he would reflect on his behavior and education of A Yin - this would make him look like a pervert.

But now, everyone is talking to each other, but they are all very happy.

This happiness lasted until a few days later. When I got up early in the morning, the snow was up to my chest again. Zhuo Yan just looked at the snow pouring in and sighed, "I thought the snowstorm was going to dissipate. The temperature is getting higher day by day, but it didn't happen." I thought it was cold again."

Ah Yin had already run to his brother with a wooden shovel in his mouth.

"Let's work, let's have an extra meal at noon today." Zhuo Yan was not deterred by the repeated bad weather, and started working again after complaining.

The days will pass and winter will always end.

On this day, Zhuo Yan roasted lean meat, cooked fish soup, and had a full meal and drink with Ah Yin. In the past, he would have put out the fire and took a nap in bed, or made some homemade tools, but his family's wood had already been used up. Eighty-eight, there's nothing left to do.

There is no point in sleeping every day.

"Ah Yin, come here."

Ah Yin ran over and squatted in front of his brother. Zhuo Yan picked up round wooden blocks and small sticks, "Shall we play a game? I'll teach you."

"Ouch~" Ah Yin nodded and listened to his brother.

Zhuo Yan: "I take the wooden stick, you are the wooden block, these five are given to you, whoever connects them in a line first wins." The simplest way to play backgammon.

He drew a grid on the ground and showed Ah Yin how to play it.

"Are you ready?"

Ah Yin stared at Gezi, listened very seriously, nodded his head vigorously, and let out a whimper. Zhuo Yan: "Then I'll go first."

In the first pass, Zhuo Yan played very slowly and waited for Ah Yin, but there were only five chess pieces in total. Zhuo Yan didn't go up the difficulty level, just a simple line. When he completed the first When there was a line, Zhuo Yan saw the shocked and happy expression of "surprise, my brother is so smart and powerful" in A Yin's eyes.

Zhuo Yan: ...hehehe, although it is shameless, it is quite useful.

"Ah Yin, you come first."

The second time, he won again, but Zhuo Yan found that Ah Yin was very smart and knew how to block his position this time. The third time, he still won, and Ah Yin didn't feel bored at all. Even every time he won, Ah Yin would look at him happily, with an expression of "Brother is so awesome."

Zhuo Yan: Oh my God, I have a soft heart.

"Ah Yin, if you win -"

Ah Yin's furry ears stood up, he looked at his brother intently, and tilted his head. Zhuo Yan thought about the 'bet' and said, "I'll give you an extra meal tonight, a big piece of barbecue."

A Yin didn't seem very excited about this bet.

Zhuo Yan couldn't hold it anymore, but the two of them happily played this childish game all afternoon. When A Yin won, Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's ears and praised: "You are too smart. .", "Ah Yin, you are awesome!", "You win!"

Ah Yin ran over happily, put her head into her brother's arms, and nuzzled him.

Another happy day.

Feeling hungry after playing, Zhuo Yan felt that it was already "evening", so he cooked a pot of fish soup and grilled meat. He put the grilled meat in Ah Yin's bowl. Ah Yin first pressed his nose against the hand holding his chopsticks, and was filled with laughter. The face says 'Brother eats brother eats'.

"Okay, let's share it and eat together." Zhuo Yan said.

Ah Yin stuck out her tongue and licked her brother happily. Zhuo Yan: He didn't prevent this problem from being corrected. Isn't it inappropriate to mention it now? After all, Ah Yin also wanted to eat barbecue with him...

So he changed the subject of teaching Ah Yin the habit of licking.

Days like this lasted until the sixtieth day. It was already two months into winter. The soaring wind and snow gradually receded to the waist, then the thighs, and then the calves. Two days later, the sky was clear and the sun broke through the clouds, a bit like the snowy days in the first month.

Zhuoyan's body temperature will be lower. After all, a month-long snowstorm is not a vegetarian.

But after holding it in the cave for a whole month, even though it was still very cold outside, Zhuo Yan was also a little eager to go out for some fresh air. He had already made excuses - the bucket of fish offal was frozen solid, and he had agreed to take it. Go down and make a trap.

"A Yin, I'll go outside and I'll be back in a minute." Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket on his back and carried the bucket when he went out, but A Yin blocked his way.

Ah Yin squatted on the ground, raised his front paws and pulled the leather on his brother's body.

"You are still very weak..." Zhuo Yan was a little hesitant, but before he could finish his words, Ah Yin stuck out his tongue in a flattering manner and rubbed his head against him. However, he was standing and Ah Yin was squatting. This height caused Ah Yin to Yin jumped into his arms and rubbed against him, the position was a bit awkward.

Although there is a layer of skin blocking it - fortunately.

"Okay, okay, let's go together, you stop first." Zhuo Yan was sweating profusely.

Ah Yin was very happy and immediately stopped, waving his tail and circling his brother. Zhuo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go, let's go." No further delay.

Zhuo Yan closed the cave door, and A Yin ran in front, and came back after a while. He moaned and rubbed his head against his hand holding the bucket. Zhuo Yan said no, "I can handle it. This bucket contains something." It's very heavy. You're still young, so you need to protect your teeth. "

That's not how you use Ah Yin.

Zhuo Yan hopes that Ah Yin will be majestic and have sharp teeth in the future. They will start by raising chickens, and then it will be better if they can eat some tooth pigs and white-horned cattle.

Ah Yin listened to his brother's words and ran ahead to clear the way. After a while, he ran back to wait for his brother.

The two of them quickly went down to the river. The patch of grass that was originally bent down by the snow was completely invisible now. It was all covered with snow, and the river surface was even more blurry. It was completely white.

If you want to catch fish on the ice, it is definitely not possible.

"I wonder if those fish can survive without oxygen under the ice." Thinking about it now, Zhuo Yan made two of the most correct choices this winter. The second was not giving up on catching fish that day.

One of them was naturally taking Ah Yin home.

There was nothing, and Zhuo Yan was not discouraged. He was very happy to come out for some air, and he didn't care about the cold. He took the messy fish entrails and dirt in the bucket far away, buried it under the snow, and then called A Yin. go home.

On the way back, A Yin whined first and bit his brother's skin. Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's head, followed A Yin's eyes and couldn't help but feel happy, "Xiao Xian!"

Xiao Xian sat down On a leopard more than two meters tall.

The orcs in this world are also larger than ordinary beasts, and they are improved in all aspects. They are like leopards, one meter to one and a half meters tall, and the one carrying Xiao Xian is very tall and strong. At first glance He is an upright young orc.

"Zhuo Yan! Zhuo Yan!" Xiao Xian waved and shouted on his elder brother's back.

His eldest brother let out a low cry, and soon carried his younger brother to his fellow sub-orc, his eyes involuntarily falling on the white-haired boy next to him.

Still a cub.

Xiao Xian got off the eldest brother's back and said happily: "Brother Zhuo Yan, why did you come out? I happened to go to your cave to play."

"The snowstorm has stopped for several days, and the eldest brother promised to carry me out. He almost I don't want to, because I gave him a lot of fish. Your fish is delicious and not bitter at all. "

We haven't seen each other for a long time, and the words came one after another.

Zhuo Yan was also happy and hugged Xiao Xian, "If you're not in a hurry, go and talk in my cave. Do you want to go home in a hurry?"

"No, I can stay a little longer. The snow is not that heavy now, so I can I want to ask you how to make fish so that it doesn't taste bitter. Brother Zhuo Yan, you are so awesome." After Xiao Xian finished speaking, he looked at Bai Maozi quietly and thought he was invisible.

It's really a white-haired guy!

Zhuo Yan: "..." Xiaoxian, you are still young, why do you look so yellow when you look at Ah Yin after watching him? What is going on in your head!

No wonder he and Aman can chatter together.

"Go back first." Zhuo Yan broke Xiao Xian's yellow expression.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Xian instinctively climbed onto his brother's back, but later found that Brother Zhuo Yan couldn't get on Bai Maozi's back. Bai Maozi was too thin and small, so he was a little hesitant to get down.

Zhuo Yan said hurriedly: "You and your elder brother came to my cave first. Do you know how to open the door?"

"I know." Xiao Xian wanted to show off Zhuo Yan's door to his elder brother again. Zhuo Yan was really smart. Without further delay, he grabbed the hair on the eldest brother's neck and said, "Brother, let's go first. I'll show you the door. You've never seen the door before. I've already told you..."

Brother Xiao Xian, a gust of wind was flying at great speed, Xiao Xian. Screams of ahhh.

Zhuo Yan: Hahahahahahaha.

These are also brothers.

Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's head, and his voice was full of happiness, "Let's go back." On the way back, Zhuo Yan walked much faster. There were guests waiting at home.

Ah Yin also walked quickly. When going uphill, he walked behind his brother and pressed his head against his waist. Zhuo Yan walked easily, but he was afraid that Ah Yin would be tired, so he said he could walk if he wasn't tired.

When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Xian and his elder brother were standing at the entrance.

"...Look!" Xiao Xian's face was full of excitement, "We did this together, and I know how to do it. Sister Qiao and I are the best at making this wooden hinge. Of course, the best one is Zhuo Yan."

Hua Hua Brother Leopard, still in his animal form, gently swung a door with his tail. The door moved and drew an arc in the air. Brother Leopard nodded and roared again.

I admit it, my brother, this sub-orc companion, is smart.

Xiao Xian was very happy to see Zhuo Yan back. The two of them entered the cave. The door was only half closed. Xiao Xian's elder brother sat closer to the entrance of the cave. Ah Yin followed his brother into the cave and lay at his feet. . Xiao Xian was originally next to Zhuo Yan and was very close. He glanced at the white-haired boy beside him. For some reason, he moved a little away from Zhuo Yan.

Continuing with the topic just now, he asked why the fish was not bitter. He also said that he made fish stew, and his parents liked it very much...

"The reason why the fish is not bitter is that when the fish's belly is broken, there is a gall. Be careful about the position and do not paddle." Be brave, otherwise it will become very bitter." Zhuo Yan took a fish to demonstrate to Xiao Xian.

It was still early, so Xiao Xian went back in no hurry. Of course, Zhuo Yan left Xiao Xian and his elder brother to eat. He cooked two fish and sliced ​​the meat for barbecue. Xiao Xian swallowed, "It's all meat, but Zhuo Yan Brother, it tastes so good when roasted, isn't it?"

The leopard at the door roared lowly.

"My eldest brother also thinks it smells good, and it tastes even better." Xiao Xian said, looking at his eldest brother's strange eyes, it took him a while to understand, and he took the leather he was wearing to the entrance of the cave.

Brother Leopard went out with the leather in his mouth, and after a while a handsome guy in human form wrapped in leather came in.

Brother Xiao Xian is like a giant, about 1.9 meters tall, with an inverted triangular figure. His skin is quite fair, probably because he has covered it up all winter. He has brown shoulder-length curly hair, and the leather only surrounds his lower body, exposing his chest and abdominal muscles -

tsk. Zhuo Yan withdrew his envious gaze.

"Thank you for the treat. I'm Brother Xiaoxian."

"You're welcome." Zhuo Yan served the guests rice first.

He found that Ah Yin was a little uninterested today, as if he was a little unhappy and uncomfortable. He wanted to wrap his tail around him and rub him, but he put it down halfway.

He couldn't help but hold a large piece of meat to Ah Yin and said, "Be careful because it's hot."

Ah Yin didn't eat and looked at his brother. Zhuo Yan smiled, and finally served himself some soup, blew it and took a sip. Seeing this, Ah Yin lowered his head to eat.

They finished the food in a hurry. During this period, Xiao Xian kept praising how delicious it was. The two brothers were very satisfied with the meal. By the time they finished eating, it was getting dark outside and Xiao Xian was reluctant to part with it, but Brother Leopard turned into a beast. , waiting for my brother at the door.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, what do you think of my eldest brother?" Before leaving, Xiao Xian took Zhuo Yan's hand and asked in a low voice.

Zhuo Yan: ...

"Xiao Xian, don't mess around. We are good partners. Your eldest brother should have a sub-orc that he likes."

Just like Qiao, because winter is coming, he can't worry about his family, so he has not been with her for a long time. Ada becomes a friend, and brother Xiaoxian also cares about his family.

Xiao Xian wilted and groaned, "I'm sorry, I understand what I just said nonsense. What I understand is that it's just that Brother Zhuo Yan, you like Zaizai so much, you and Bai - no, you and A Yin are together. "But you can't have cubs in the future."

"But, maybe, you can. The tribe has never seen this situation, but A Yin is also a beast, he has not transformed, and the beast is so big - — "

Zhuo Yan: Ahhhhhhh! Mosaic Mosaic Mosaic.

He said, "What the hell is going on with Xiao Xian's yellow face when we meet today!"

"Hurry up, come back quickly, it's getting late, hurry up, don't keep your brother waiting for a long time." Zhuo Yan was so frightened that he stumbled with his mouth and saw off the guest mercilessly.

Xiao Xian thought he was talking about Zhuo Yan's heartache, so he sat on his elder brother's back in embarrassment, "Then let's go back, Brother Zhuo Yan."

"Bye bye, bye, bye -" Zhuo Yan waved his arms like propellers!

Ah Yin, who was lying down in the cave, his ears stood up at first. My brother didn't like Xiao Xian's eldest brother. He didn't like that leopard! His blue eyes lit up and he sat up, his ears perked up. After hearing about the birth of the cub, his originally bright eyes dimmed again.

Does your brother like to have babies?

Chapter 19

A huge misunderstanding. Zhuo Yan didn't know what Xiao Xian was pretending to be all day long. He thought that A Yin was still young and might not understand - he even interrupted it, pretending that nothing happened. , changed the subject, and cleared away the pots and pans.

"There are still five pieces of meat left in the cave and four fish."

Zhuo Yan took stock of the inventory. There were not many potatoes and taros left. Based on the food intake of two a day, he should be able to survive for more than half a month. Although there is less food in stock for the future, Zhuo Yan is still very optimistic. He has survived the coldest month. When the weather warms up and the ice on the riverbed becomes thinner, he can still catch fish.

From Xiao Xian's comments about fish, no one in the tribe was very good at handling fish before, but now it's easier for him. There are quite a lot of fish in the river, and his home is close to the river, so he doesn't need to worry too much about food.

After carrying through the winter, there are still wild vegetables and dudu fruits, so we can always survive.

After Zhuo Yan finished cleaning up, he found that Ah Yin was following him step by step. When he heated up hot water and scrubbed, Ah Yin ran to the stone bed obediently and put his limbs and legs on the edge of the bed. He was so big and furry and bent into a C shape. Well-behaved and cute, Zhuo Yan just wanted to laugh when he saw it, so he scrubbed clean, poured water, closed the door, and went to sleep.

"Are you unhappy today?" Zhuo Yan asked from under the covers.

Ah Yin used his tail to protect his feet again. Zhuo Yan played with Ah Yin and stepped on his feet. When he saw Ah Yin's eyes sparkling, he circled his feet with his furry tail. The two of them seemed to be playing a game. Apart from being a little itchy, it's quite comfortable.

"Don't you like brother Xiao Xian?"

A Yin stopped with his tail, rubbed his head against his brother's head, stretched out his tongue to lick his brother's hair, Zhuo Yan only felt a numbness in his scalp - physiological, not afraid , quickly changed his posture and looked at A Yin.

"Xiao Xian is my friend. He misunderstood us." Zhuo Yan was a little stuck when he said this. He felt that A Yin was still a cub and was too vague to express Xiao Xian's 'misunderstanding'. He couldn't tell it directly. Xiao Xian said you were a beast. And the chickens are big, so it would be dangerous for us to have children.

Ah - how can I open my mouth?

"His brother has a sub-orc that he likes, and I have never thought about partnering with an orc. We are both too young and not yet adults. It would be great to live together like this."

Ah Yin's blue eyes were filled with joy . , sticking out his tongue like a puppy -

"Stop licking, stop licking."

Ah Yin looked at her brother pitifully. Doesn't his brother like him? Zhuo Yan: ...

"It's not that I don't like you, we just cleaned it, and your tongue has barbs." Zhuo Yan explained, but A Yin was like a puppy, with wet eyes and extended his tongue. He lowered his eyes and took a closer look at the barb his brother mentioned.

Zhuo Yan: ...So soft-hearted.

"Then try harder."

"Ooooooo~" Ah Yin agreed, carefully licked his brother's cheek, and observed him carefully. Does he feel pain?

Zhuo Yan smiled and rubbed A Yin's furry head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. Go to sleep." Children are so easy to coax.

Ah Yin stretched out his body as before, hugged his brother in his arms, and rubbed his head happily against his brother. Only his brother would care whether he was happy or not, and he would not mate with an orc. He said he would live with him. , and let him lick it, brother is the best.

After a few days, the wind and snow gradually stopped. Zhuo Yan took A Yin to hang out on the grass by the river every day and played on the ice. At first, he wanted to dig ice for fishing, but he was frozen for more than two months. The ice is already very thick and cannot be broken no matter how hard you hit it.

In a rage, Zhuo Yan started skating with A Yin.

There were no traces of animals near Caodang, and he had forgotten the exact location of the place where he buried fish offal before. Probably no animals appeared after a search.

This situation lasted for more than ten days.

The tribe seemed to have woken up. When Zhuo Yan took A Yin out, he would also see other orcs carrying sub-orcs out in beast form. Everyone looked sideways when they saw him and A Yin, and then stayed away.

Zhuo Yan didn't care, patted Ah Yin on the head and went home to eat.

...Winter seems to be coming to an end soon.

That night, Zhuo Yan held A Yin in his arms and said about the wonderful beginning of spring, "I previously found wild vegetables on the upper reaches of the river. I don't know if I can eat them. When the snow melts, I will try to find a chicken or rabbit and feed them a taste first. If If you can eat it, you can eat wild vegetables. It would be better if there is flour. I will spread wild vegetable pancakes for you."

Ah Yin didn't understand what flour was and raised his eyes to look at his brother.

"Four is wheat. Although it is troublesome to grind and clean it now, if we can find wheat or rice, we won't have to eat potatoes and taro every day in winter." Zhuo Yan was warm in bed and was too lazy to go down and draw a diagram for Ah Yin. .

This world doesn't know if there is such a thing, so he will have to eat potatoes for the rest of his life!

Zhuo Yan groaned and his voice became softer and softer. He was sleepy and fell asleep in confusion. Ah Yin, on the other hand, secretly licked her brother's hair again, protected her brother in her arms, and was still thinking about the flour her brother said.

At night, Zhuo Yan was suddenly woken up. When he woke up, he saw a pair of blue eyes in the darkness. The blue eyes made his heart palpitation feel safer and more at ease. "Ah Yin? Are you awake too?"

Ah Yin whined. He made a sound and touched his brother with his paw.

"What happened outside? It seems very noisy." Zhuo Yan turned over and looked at the entrance of the cave, but he couldn't see the entrance from his bed, so he sat up.

Ah Yin also got up.

Zhuo Yan put on his leather jacket and got out of bed, only to find that the temperature in the cave had dropped a lot, and the door creaked loudly, accompanied by a thumping sound. It wasn't someone knocking on the door, but a strong wind blowing the door.

Ah Yin walked in front of his brother. Zhuo Yan wrapped himself in a leather and lit the firewood first. A trace of light was blown from side to side by the wind that came in. The biggest piece of leather, because the temperature has risen recently and the snowstorm has not fallen for a long time, Zhuo Yan did not hang behind the door.

Only at this moment did I feel that the sky outside the door had changed.

"Ah Yin, give me the leather." Zhuo Yan arrived at the door by the light. Ah Yin brought a big leather bag to her brother. Zhuo Yan hung up the leather bag and put a wooden board against the back of the door. After everything was done, the swaying fire finally started to burn brightly.

Isn't it going to be another snowstorm?

Zhuo Yan couldn't sleep anymore, so he sat in front of the fire to boil water and took a sip, adding more to Ah Yin's bowl. He looked at the door, "No wonder winter is torture. If the weather keeps coming back and forth, I thought it was spring, but the temperature dropped again." "It's really painful."

Ah Yin looked at her brother worriedly and stopped drinking water.

Zhuo Yan smiled, "But I have Ah Yin with me, so I won't go crazy." This is the truth.

"Let's go, let's go to sleep, and then open the door and clean up when it gets bright tomorrow."

A Yin's somewhat thin furry face, with his tongue sticking out and a smile, followed his brother to bed. The temperature cooled down again, and he protected his brother in his arms. Quietly, he covered his brother with his skin.

"You cover it too." Zhuo Yan noticed A Yin's little move.

Fuzzy Claw froze, and then Ah Yin used his claw to cover himself with a corner of the leather.

Zhuo Yan: ...

Forget it, he rolled into A Yin's arms, so he can be covered up.

He slept again, and when he woke up the next day, light penetrated into the cave. It was daytime, and Zhuo Yan opened the door, only to find that it was not snow outside last night, but hail, fist-sized hail, which had accumulated at the entrance of the cave. Young Master, Zhuo Yan quickly shoveled the hail aside, then suddenly thought of something -

"Ah Yin, rattan basket! Wooden barrel! Ignore this for now, go to the river!"

With such a big hail, the free fall speed must be very fast. It's so fierce that it can break a person's head, even on a river with thick ice. There was actually nothing to eat in the cave, except for some Dudu fruits, which were temporarily unusable, and some potatoes and taro left. The two of them had been eating one meal for the past few days, and drank hot water when they were hungry.

Zhuo Yan didn't know when winter would end, so he didn't dare to eat too much and kept some food.

Ah Yin actually didn't realize what his brother was going to do, but he ran very fast, listened to his brother's instructions, held the rattan basket in his mouth, and went to get the wooden bucket. Zhuo Yan put the wooden shovel in the hole, took the wooden bucket, and didn't If you have any more, get out of the hole! Rush to the river!

From a distance, I saw a lot of hail falling on the river.

There was no one outside at this time, and it was hailing so early in the morning last night that no one else in the tribe was willing to go out. Zhuo Yan and A Yin ran quickly to the river. After walking for a while, there were some places where the ice surface was not damaged at all. They went downstream to look for it, and sure enough they saw a trace of cracks on the ice surface.

"Ah Yin, you stay on the river bank and wait for me, I'll go." Zhuo Yan explained.

"Ah wu ah wu."

"Be obedient. If I fall, you can still pull me up."

Ah Yin swung his tail around anxiously, but he listened to his brother's words and squatted by the river, with a pair of blue eyes tightly Looking at his brother, he immediately rushed over if something went wrong. Just because Ah Yin looks like this, to be honest, Zhuo Yan feels much safer this time when he smashes the ice to catch fish than last time.

He had gained experience. He walked up the intact ice and slowly approached the crack mark. There were wooden sticks and stone knives in his backpack. He first used the wooden stick to knock, then switched to the stone knife to chisel. Little by little, he started to do it. We know that this ice layer is at least thirty to forty centimeters thick. If it hadn't been for the hail last night, it would have been difficult to find a place for thin ice alone.

Where the upper reaches are intact, the ice must be thicker there.

Crack - the sound of cracking ice.

Before Zhuo Yan could speak, he saw a white figure rushing towards him like lightning, biting his leather skirt. Zhuo Yan: ...

Although I was sweating profusely and was so shocked just now, Ah Yin, shut up first, your brother's leather skirt is going to be You pulled me down!

It's really windy and cold.

"Ah Yin, I'm fine, be careful to step back." Zhuo Yan paid attention to the cracked ice under his feet, which was about to turn into a spider web, and his voice was unconsciously much lower, as if he was afraid of being frightened by the ice.

Ah Yin didn't let go, pulling her brother's skin back.

One step, two steps, even though Zhuo Yan's steps were very slow and light, the crack quickly spread to his feet. Fortunately, it did not break, and the two of them successfully retreated to the safe ice.

Zhuo Yan: "You can relax now, Ah Yin. Go get some hailstones for me." To distract Ah Yin's mouth.

Ah Yin let go and listened to his brother's words to find Haibei.

"Look for big ones."

Ah Yin looked for big hailstones.

Zhuo Yan straightened his leather skirt. When he had free time later, he would have to sew a tie on the leather skirt, or weave a waistband out of tough grass. Just when he was thinking about it, A Yin took a piece of it into his mouth. A large piece of hail came over, and Zhuo Yan took the long-range shot and smashed it into the middle of the spider web where the ice surface was densest.

Click, click, click - clatter.

The thinnest ice surface was finally overwhelmed by the hail, and all the ice shattered and fell into the river. The river below was swift, but -

"Fish!"

So many fish!

These fish have lost their vitality and seem to be dead. They are floating under the ice with their bellies turned. There are schools of fish and fish sliding down from upstream. Zhuo Yan is still thinking about how to cross over and leave. The ice near the mouth of the ice was full of cracks, and he would fall if he didn't stop.

Otherwise, use a rattan basket to salvage it?

It was better to endure the cold for a while - at this freezing temperature, even though he had orc blood genes flowing through his body, it still felt like his legs would freeze.

Ah Yin saw that his brother was not moving, so he couldn't help but remind his brother that there were fish there and he could go there.

"Come back!" Zhuo Yan called to A Yin.

Ah Yin braked and ran to his brother obediently, wagging his tail and wondering why his brother told him to stop, but he only listened to his words.

While Zhuo Yan and A Yin were talking, Zhuo Yan was also thinking about how to catch fish. The fish that were floating on the river with their bellies turned over as if they were dead slowly came to life. These fish had some kind of stimulant. , turning his belly and jumping onto the ice of the river.

One of them was so strong that it hit Zhuo Yan's feet.

Zhuo Yan lowered his head and looked at the fish slapping on the ice:? ? ?

Could it be said that he and Ah Yin are really God's beloved children?

Who cares, pick fish, pick fish!

Zhuo Yan plated his face with gold, and smiled so hard that he almost died, "Pick the safest ones first, don't be in a hurry if you are close to the ice cave, come back in the afternoon when the freeze is solid, and tell Sister Qiao and the others about the stone." I don't know if there is any leftover food at home, Xiao Xian likes to eat this..."

Both Shitou and Aman's families are in relatively short supply.

There are a lot of fish here.

Chapter 20

Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket on his back and the wooden bucket to prevent Ah Yin from biting it. Not to mention that it was heavy, and even if Ah Yin wasn't very tall, the barrel would hang on the ground and be dragged along.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to help my brother when A-Yin grows up."

A-Yin gave up and just opened the way ahead, clawing away the hailstones on the ground with his paws, then turned back and pushed his head against his brother's waist.

Zhuo Yan: ...He knows A Yin's kindness but is embarrassed.

Because he was in a hurry, he wore a waistcoat and a small leather skirt. A Yin's head was pressed against his waist. He had to lift the skirt waist from time to time, and the hair on A Yin's head brushed against his thighs from time to time.

Ahhhhhhh.

Shut your head, you're starting to look more and more like a pervert.

After finally arriving in the cave, Zhuo Yan put down his things and his heart did not sink. He went to salvage again. This bucket of rattan baskets of fish can be eaten for at least a month. He didn't believe it. Thirty days later, it would still be winter? !

Zhuo Yan wiped his sweat, working hot, drank a gulp of cold water, wiped the water stains around his mouth, "Ah Yin, you watch at home, I will go and tell Sister Qiao and others about the situation."

" Ah ah ah ah~" Ah Yin circled around her brother.

Zhuo Yan: "Okay, let's go together."

The last time he shared white horn beef, Zhuo Yan passed by a few people's homes and knew the approximate location of the cave. If not, he would shout a lot nearby. Walking towards the tribe, there were traces of orcs treading on the road a few days ago. The snow was already solid, creaking when you stepped on it, and there were scattered hailstones. It was actually a bit difficult for the sub-orcs to walk.

Ah Yin followed behind his brother, either leading the way and running ahead to clear the snow, or pushing his head against his waist and pushing him away.

Finally arrived - suspected.

This is the angle between the two mountains. Zhuo Yan forgot that the house inside was the one outside, and shouted: "Sister Qiao, A Man, Shitou, Xiao Xian, I am Zhuo Yan."

Soon a man wearing leather clothes came out of the cave entrance . The sub-orc in a skirt stood at the door of his cave and said loudly: "Zhuo Yan, I heard that you and the white-haired boy are getting married?"

The sub-orc man's eyes fell on the white-haired boy next to Zhuo Yan.

It's true!

"Even the eldest orcs in the entire tribe will not like Bai Maozi. You actually like a beast that cannot transform -"

Zhuo Yan covered A Yin's ears and interrupted the other person's chanting, "No Don't you listen? Yazhu hummed. "

Whoever made the other side taunt him and Ah Yin in the first place just fought back.

After reacting for a few seconds, the young orc became angry, put his hands on his hips and said, "Zhuo Yan, you said I'm a toothy pig!"

It's good to know. Zhuo Yan smiled.

"As long as you don't say anything about Ah Yin, by the way, his name is Ah Yin now and he is my brother."

"I won't call you a toothy pig."

Ah Yin squatted next to his brother and looked at the sub-orc man. The orc man was angry and was about to open his mouth to say something when Shi Shi's loud voice sounded: "Zhuo Yan, I'm here!"

"What happened?" Qiao's voice also sounded, along with Ada's figure.

When the young orc man saw so many people, he glanced at Zhuo Yan and said, "No orc in the tribe likes you!"

"Yeah, well, all the orcs in the tribe like you."

The young orc man:... ...The words he said seemed to be praising him, but he felt that he was not. The person who disliked the beast was definitely not praising him.

Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's ears and stopped quarreling. He took A Yin to Shitou and Sister Qiao, and said, "The hail has cracked the surface of the river. There are many fish. If you don't have enough to eat, you can go fishing." "

Really?" Shitou asked hurriedly.

Qiao said: "Zhuo Yan won't lie to us."

"That's right." Shi Shi was very happy when he realized that his parents had been saving meat for him and his sister to eat recently. The fish Zhuo Yan gave him last time, I've eaten it at home, it's not that bitter and it's delicious.

Zhuo Yan told us about the location, so go as soon as possible. He can also teach everyone how to kill fish and remove the gall. Last time, he just showed Xiao Xian.

"...A Yin and I are going back first. Please inform Xiao Xian and A Man."

"Okay, I'll go." Shitou said.

Qiao said: "I'll go and notify. Ada will be quick with me on her back. You go home and bring the backpack."

"Okay."

We split up.

"Thank you, Zhuo Yan."

Zhuo Yan smiled, "You're welcome, I caught a lot, it should be enough to last until the end of winter." He saw that Shi Shi had lost weight, but Sister Qiao was fine, although she was a little thinner. But not obviously.

It can be seen that the Shitou family has not had a good winter.

With a wave of his hand, Zhuo Yan took Ah Yin home. On the way back, Ah Yin led the way. Zhuo Yan called out to Ah Yin, and Ah Yin ran back to his side.

It was not just the ridicule of the sub-orc man today, but also the way the orc looked at and spoke to them when he was carrying the sub-orc man on his back a few days ago. He knew what to say without even thinking about it.

He didn't care, but Ah Yin was still young and had been disliked from time to time.

Zhuo Yan walked very slowly, gently touched A Yin's head, and said: "Everyone in the tribe doesn't understand us, so we don't need to pay attention to their looks. Sometimes there are some malicious words. That's his fault, not yours and mine." "

In short, Ah Yin is very good, I like Ah Yin very much."

Ah Yin's blue eyes were moist, and he whimpered, rubbing his head against his brother's palm, whining. Zhuo Yan understood the urgency of the words and said with a smile: "I know, I'm fine too, I know everything."

How confident he was.

He also has a strong heart. He used to be a bit popular as a blogger, and there were more and more unfriendly comments. Zhuo Yan really doesn't care. He has his own opinions and defends his own justice.

Along the way, one person and one leopard wanted to cuddle up, walking and stopping.

After struggling all morning, I didn't eat anything. When I arrived at the cave, Mr. roasted potatoes and took a bite. Zhuo Yan was handling the fish. After a while, Ah Yin called to him, bit his skin, and looked at the cave again. Outside.

"Sister Qiao, are they here?"

"Ouch~" Ah Yin nodded.

Zhuo Yan put down what he was doing, opened the cave entrance, and looked down at the entrance of his cave. Far, far away, there were a few small black dot-like figures on the river. They should be Qiao and the other four.

"We're going down too, just in time to pour out the fish feed."

Unknowingly, he also disposed of most of the bucket.

When he and Ah Yin went down to the river, Shitou and the other four people had fish in their baskets. They said hello, and Xiao Xian's two brothers also came, as well as Ada. Zhuo Yan slaughtered a fish on the spot. His hands were very steady and he gestured, "The gall is in this position. Be careful not to scratch it. It will cause pain if it is scratched."

Several people learned to kill the fish on the spot, starting with the stone. Damn, the gallbladder was scratched. I looked at the fish in my hand with pity, but I didn't throw it away. Instead, I gutted it, cleaned it and put it in my own basket.

In winter, even if it is bitter fish meat, no one will waste it.

Aman saw that the stone was scratched. It was his turn to be cautious and didn't dare to breathe - and then it was also scratched.

"Hahahaha, it's okay, you two just relax and take your time." Zhuo Yan smiled, "Anyway, there will always be good fish in a basket."

Shitou and Aman were originally nervous, but when Zhuo Yan laughed, their faces changed. He smiled consciously, and after hearing what he said, yes, after all, after suffering, there will always be good things.

Xiao Xian was very clever with his hands. He went over and chatted with A Man about where to cut, and then gave Shi Shi a few instructions. Since he met Zhuo Yan, he felt that he was also very smart. In the past, Shi Shi and A Man were the best and strongest. .

Now he can also help Shi Shi and A Man.

The orcs present focused on the fish's internal organs. The air was cold and icy, mixed with the smell of fish and blood.

"Go back." Ada said first, "It's getting late. And these processed internal organs should be thrown away."

"Let's go." Brother Xiao Xian said.

Although the second brother Xiao Xian was a little reluctant to travel far away, these fish were kindly provided by his brother's friends, who also taught him how to kill the fish so that the meat would not taste bitter, so the second brother Xiao Xian transformed into a beast shape and opened his mouth. There was a bucket of offal in his mouth.

A few people packed their backpacks, and Xiao Xian was waiting there with his eldest brother and second brother's leather bags in his arms. The days were now much longer than before. Zhuo Yan felt that it was around two or three o'clock in the afternoon. According to the past month, it must have been dark. It was still gray at this time, but it was really hard to delay.

I haven't seen many people for a long time, and they were chatting before Xiao Xian's two brothers came back.

No one noticed that the danger was approaching. It was Ah Yin who noticed something was wrong at first. Ah Yin let out a low roar, like a thin bolt of lightning, and threw himself in front of his brother, growling anxiously.

Small talk was interrupted.

Before Zhuo Yan could react, Ada looked around, focused his eyes on the forest dozens of meters away, and said first: "It's a bear, a black bear is coming."

"Run quickly."

There is a forest across the river, and it is very close to the forest here. Yes, there is also a picking forest. Just as Ada finished speaking and ran quickly, the ground shook like a mountain, and a large black shadow as high as a mountain came close to the gray sky.

The black bear is four to five meters tall, extremely fast, and roars violently.

Ada directly transformed into his animal form, protecting Qiao and growling.

Xiao Xian was frightened. He still had the same smile on his face as he had just been chatting and laughing, but his eyes were frightened. Zhuo Yan pulled Xiao Xian and shouted: "Let's go back first. We don't want the things anymore. Throw them away." "

A Yin "

A Yin rushed forward and lowered his posture in an offensive manner. Although he was so small in front of the black bear, he had no fear of retreating. Until he heard his brother's voice, A Yin did not rush forward but ran. To my brother.

"Let's go! Sister Qiao, we are here, Ada will be affected." Zhuo Yan said.

Even though Qiao was worried, he knew that Zhuo Yan was right. The sub-orcs would not be able to help at all if they stayed here. Zhuo Yan and the others ran wildly towards their cave, their lungs hurting from running, "A Yin - A Yin - inform the clan leader -"

A Yin whined, worried about his brother.

"Go quickly and be careful." Zhuo Yan said.

Because of Ada's interference, the black bear did not rush over. They stood on the hillside in the distance and could see Xiao Xian's two brothers rushing over. Zhuo Yan said: "Brother Xiaoxian and the second brother have passed by. Sister Qiao, look."

When Qiao saw it, her nervous heart relaxed a little.

At least Ada wasn't dealing with the black bear alone.

"A Yin——"

A Yin listened to his brother and ran towards the tribe. He ran very fast and just wanted to go back and protect his brother as soon as possible after informing everyone.

"There's one more!" Shitou said.

That one is bigger and bigger.

What can we do?

Qiao's eyes were fixed on the leopard-shaped figure of Ada. Ada was thrown out. Qiao's heart was lifted, and another black bear pounced on it.

"Ah -" Qiao couldn't help but exclaimed, until he saw Ada hiding and Xiao Xian's brother attacked the black bear, Ada escaped, but Xiao Xian's brother was attacked.

Xiaoxian cried and called Big Brother and Second Brother.

The atmosphere was very solemn, right down to the sound of footsteps coming one after another.

"Someone is coming." Aman hugged Xiaoxian, "A lot of people are coming."

It's okay, it must be okay.

Five or six leopards came and roared. At the front was Ada's grandmother, a ferocious leopard, Xiao Xian's father, Shitou, Qiao, and Aman's father and mother. These leopards rushed towards the black bear, and a snow-white shadow caught between them, like lightning, ran directly towards his brother without any hesitation.

Ah Yin doesn't care about the battlefield, he just wants to look at his brother.

Adults with rich hunting experience joined in, and the whole situation soon became clear. The two angry and violent black bears were at a disadvantage, and they wanted to escape at this time, but it was too late.

Two mountain-like shadows fell to the ground.

Joe had already rushed over, and she saw that Ada seemed to be injured. She was not sure, and she wanted to take a look -

never, never, never.

Also running over at the same speed was Xiao Xian.

When Zhuo Yan and others passed by, other orcs in the tribe, including the clan leader, came out. Two black bears fell to the ground, dying. Two brothers, Ada and Xiao Xian, were injured. Some injured their abdomens and arms. Sir They checked and said that there were no vital injuries and that he would not die.

The next step is to divide the two black bears.

Logically speaking, if the patrol did not find and kill the prey, then whoever found it and killed it would be his prey, and only needed to hand over a small half to the tribe. It can be said that it was the efforts of several adults, Xiao Xian, and Ada.

As a result, several elders listened to what brother Xiaoxian and Ada said.

"In addition to what was handed over to the tribe, there were also parts of Zhuo Yan and A Yin." Ada's grandmother said.

In the ice and snow, Ada's mother was only wrapped in a piece of leather, her eyes were solemn. There was blood on her cheeks and body from a battle just now, and she spoke very powerfully.

Xiao Xian's father nodded in agreement, and the Shitou and Aman families also agreed.

"Yes."

"Okay."

Zhuo Yan couldn't get a word in at all. Several of the orc elders still had the murderous aura they had just now. The aura was so fierce that he couldn't even say polite and modest words, and finally got a big piece of meat. ——About thirty or forty pounds.

There was also half a bear skin - the skin that Xiao Xian'a's father had given him. He picked it up with his sharp claws. It was bloody, and a large piece was given to him with one scratch.

Zhuo Yan:! ! !

"Everyone, go back. The patrol team has been keeping watch near the river these days. Ice bumps have woken up the hibernating bears. There may be more." The clan leader ordered one by one.

The orcs behind them watched as several families were dividing the meat. They were no longer afraid of the tide of beasts, nor did they feel the coldness of the ice and snow. By this time, even the most heroic orcs had eaten half of the meat in the cave.

The tribe leader will distribute the meat you submit to the tribe.

The others cleaned up the battlefield, picked up the smell of blood, and hurried back to the cave.

Zhuo Yan carried nearly 40 kilograms of meat on his back, and A Yin carried the folded skins. The two of them walked heavily home. When they arrived home, they did not dare to rest, and they had to clean up the smell of blood flowing along the way.

Apart from being woken up by the hail, the two bears were most likely attracted here by the smell of fish offal by the river.

in case.

"Our family is weak and young. It would be bad if we were attacked." Zhuo Yan filled a basket with firewood ash and scattered it all over the floor. A Yin followed his brother, pulling up the snow in front and burying it. smell.

Ah Yin thought for a moment, then carried her brother on her back and peed.

Zhuo Yan, who heard the noise, saw it: What a great idea.

"Wait for brother, I'll come too."

Ah Yin secretly looked at her brother.
