He is not the beast
Chapter 61
The Leopard Man tribe began its busy period in an orderly manner. The Tiger Tribe is having a hard time. The snow season has just ended, and Hawa, the leader of the Tiger Tribe, has taken stock of the entire tribe's losses during the snow season.
This year, there was an attack of beasts. Five cubs died, three sub-orcs, one orc, three old men froze to death, and more than ten orcs were injured...
Dahn's mother died in this beast wave. In the middle, Dan's legs were broken and he was still unable to recover. Dan's mother tried her best to protect her son. His father was the only orc in the family to resist the tide of beasts. He was bitten and covered in blood, but his life was still there.
All the orcs in the tribe knew about the situation of the Dahn family.
"There are two orcs in the Dahn family. Dahn has also grown up and is in his prime of bravery. I never thought that Dahn's mother would die like this."
"Yes, if Dahn's leg had not been broken, it would definitely not be like this."
The Khajiit tribe suffered heavy losses during the snow season, so some people naturally vented their anger and anger on the Eagle tribe - such as Dan, and some Khajiit orcs who were not injured but still hated the Eagle tribe.
The two races have been feuding for too long.
"There is still enough salt sent by the Leopard People. The uninjured orcs will go hunting and only need food from the tribe. The sub-orcs and slightly injured orcs will clean up the damaged wooden houses of the tribe." Hawa took inventory one by one. The eyes are sinister.
The orcs responded one by one.
In the past, every time after the snow season, their life was too difficult. They had to worry about the survival of the tribe. At this time, there were very few prey. Before the tribe could recover, they had to find ways to catch some good prey and slowly began to collect them. I need to go to Yuren Market to exchange for salt.
Those feathered people want too many things from their tiger tribe.
This year, there is no need to worry about the prey that is exchanged for salt at the Feathered Market. All you need to do is take care of your clan members.
Some orcs were worried and said: "If the Leopard People have to change their salt -"
"Uncle, you worry too much. If the Leopard People were like the Eagle People, they wouldn't have risked their lives to give us the Tiger People before last winter. Send salt." After Hawa finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said: "We should take the salt from the Leopard People and give them something. We Tiger People are not unreasonable and barbaric people. In the past, we were the oldest in the Feather People Market. I have never had any disputes when dealing with them."
"I believe that the Leopard People will not be like the Eagle People."
If the Leopard People are like the Eagle People, what do they have to fear.
"You're right, I'm getting old."
Other orcs said one after another: "I remember the orc from the Leopard Man tribe who delivered the salt. He was a very nice person." "Yes, I heard that a sub-orc in the tribe also accidentally discovered the salt. I still need to wash the mud." "How can I wash the mud?" "It seems that this salt is really rare." "Exchanging salt with the Leopard Tribe is much better than exchanging salt with the Eagle Tribe." "That's right. I hate the Eagle Tribe.
"
This year, the werewolf tribe was unexpectedly peaceful. There were no raids by beasts. Coupled with the salt sent by the leopard men, the entire grassland returned to life just after the snow season. The werewolf tribe leader also asked for hunting slowly and was not in a hurry to prepare items for the Feathered Market. .
The werewolves and the leopard tribe were relatively close to each other. After the spring breeding period, there was enough time to prepare in early summer - they were going to the leopard tribe to exchange for salt.
"I want to thank the Leopard Man for sending salt last year." said the Werewolf Clan Leader.
The tribesmen were still very excited and curious about going to the Leopard Man tribe. Some cubs gathered around the adults and asked what the Leopard Man tribe was like. Among them, Ami was asked the most because she had lived in the Leopard Man tribe for a while before.
"Living in a cave."
"The winter is very long, and it's boring for two people to nest together."
"It's not lively at all."
"If the cubs get a mate, they have to move out alone."
Ami said one by one. The werewolf tribe spoke up, "Don't you live with the elders?", "Two people live in a cave? What if we encounter a tide of beasts?", "It's really boring." The
werewolf tribe also lives in a cave. , the caves are large and closely connected, and large groups live together. The elders take good care of the cubs. If the mating season comes in spring, the werewolf orcs and sub-orcs prefer to go out to find a hidden jungle, tree, or grass to complete their reproduction. .
After Ami finished speaking, everyone dispersed, talking about the habits of the leopard people, which was a bit unexpected. No wonder Ami came back after less than a year in the leopard tribe, and Ami was thinking about that child, the silver leopard cub. .
She sighed.
The two wolf cubs jumped into Grandma's arms, playfully sticking out their tongues and licking Grandma's chin and cheeks. Amy suddenly became happy, hugging the cubs and nuzzling them affectionately.
It would be better for the cub to stay with the leopard people than to follow her back to the werewolves.
She didn't like the life of the Leopard People, it was too boring, quiet and cold.
Leopard tribe.
The river bed is much wider, the kiln has been repaired, and both orcs and sub-orcs are working, but there is no chaos at all. Who does what, who is responsible for what, the arrangements are in order, and everyone obeys the command.
The skillful orcs began to wash the yellow mud, knead the pottery, and dry it in the shade. The temperature has been suitable recently, which is better than last year. Last year, when the pottery was made, the temperature was already a bit too high. Every day, the pottery must be kneaded in the evening and placed under the shed. Dry it overnight under the shade of a tree, otherwise it will crack during the day.
It's the right time to squeeze during the day. Although sub-orcs also have good night vision, they are still more comfortable working during the day - a habit from modern workers.
But this will take a day and night to dry in the shade.
Send batches to the kiln for firing.
This time the deep plate burned more food. Sometimes orcs are too lazy to change and are used to eating in beast form, so it is more convenient for the deep plate to be open. The demi-orcs also like to use this, which can be used to hold roasted meats and large stews. Larger jars are also very popular - the demi-orcs call this a water cup.
Orcs know how to drink from cows, and one cup is enough.
There is also the small spoon that comes with the salt shaker made by Zhuoyan last year. The sub-orcs like it the most, "That little spoon is very useful."
"Yes, the cub can hold it to eat by itself, and the food that does not need to be licked will be messed up everywhere. "They are all."
Orcs and sub-orcs are not very accustomed to using chopsticks. Everyone eats mostly barbecue and stew. Under Zhuo Yan's subtle influence, his friends have become proficient in using chopsticks, but they used to use chopsticks for meals in other caves. Hands - After all, it's barbecue.
The stew was drunk from a bowl. In the past, when there were no bowls, the food was wrapped in leaves. You could eat and drink it at the same time. Even the leaves could be swallowed clean by those who were not particular about it.
When Zhuo Yan saw that everyone liked it, he said he would burn more and put four spoons in each hole -
"Is that enough?" he asked everyone.
Now it's better. The sub-orcs gathered around Zhuo Yan and asked if there could be more. Some of them were awkward, "Actually, I also use that spoon.", "Me too."
In addition to the cubs, the sub-orcs used, Orcs also use it, but orcs are very face-conscious and think it's just for cubs.
Zhuo Yan: Hahahahaha.
The noodles still gave everyone face, and he said seriously: "The spoons don't distinguish between young and old. In my family, A Yin and I like to use them. When we drink soup or something, let's cook more this time. Be prepared to serve both big and small spoons."
"well!"
"That's great Zhuo Yan."
Spoons are very popular among the tribe. They are light and don't take up much space. So we simply burned a whole kiln, with one big spoon in each hole - the kind that ladles soup, three medium-sized spoons and three It's a small spoon. From Zhuo Yan's perspective, the small spoon is not that small anymore.
There are also tools for checking for leaks and filling them, including clay pots and jars.
The kiln has been open for half a month, and finally the goods are delivered to each hole, including a clay pot, three deep-mouthed plates, a large jar, two 'water cups', and six spoons. Everyone in the tribe smiled happily with white teeth.
"In the future, you won't have to eat stew everywhere."
"And you won't have to fight for the spoon with the cub."
"Where did I grab it? I just looked."
"Okay, okay, take a look."
Zhuo Yan listened . While chatting with everyone, I really couldn't hold back my laughter, hahahahahaha.
After half a month of work - the kiln and potato planting were carried out at the same time. The potato fields were also plowed and the seeds were planted. The melted snow in the snow season did not need to be irrigated at all. The adults restrained the cubs from going there. Playing in the fields by the river, even the orcs returning from hunting could only pass through the specially left open space.
Zhuo Yan is also very happy, he has his own time.
After half a month of spring, the temperature gradually and steadily rises. Hunting is not very frequent in the tribe in spring, so the orcs are free and work in two shifts of patrolling and hunting. They had work before, but now they have finished plowing the ground, cutting down trees and burning charcoal - the orcs are planting and burning kilns.
The whole tribe seemed to be slacking off.
"Didn't Sister Qiao come out today?" Zhuo Yan was a little worried, "Are you feeling unwell? I haven't seen you for three days."
Aman almost hit Zhuo Yan on the head, and Xiao Xian also laughed and said, "Zhuo Yan Brother, you are so stupid. I know it, but you don't know."
"Did Qiao tell you?" Zhuo Yan asked.
Shitou glanced at Zhuo Yan and said, "During the spring estrus, everyone was busy and had no time before. Now it's hot, and the orcs don't hunt much. Qiao has been busy for a little half a month, and now the two of them are free, of course. In the cave."
Zhuo Yan:? ! ! ! !
He was stunned.
I never expected this to be the reason.
"You also entered estrus last year, Zhuo Yan, how are you doing now? Speaking of which, we shouldn't bother you." Aman said.
Shitou said: "That's right, otherwise we won't come to you tomorrow. I've been a little irritable recently. There are a few orcs who want to date me, but I don't want to."
"Brother Zhuo Yan, although I am reluctant to let you go, I still like to be with you very much. You are playing, but for the sake of you and Ah Yin, we should stop playing and wait until you have passed this time before we come out to play." Xiao Xian said very sensibly.
"Ah Yin is still young, and I haven't felt irritable this year." Zhuo Yan no longer wants to explain. He has been carrying too many pots for too long and cannot explain clearly. "I want to plant bamboo rice tomorrow."
Shitou: "Then let's do it . Come on." Bring Dayun out by the way.
Xiao Xian smiled so happily. He still wanted to play with Brother Zhuo Yan, which was great, otherwise he would be bored at home alone, so he nodded and everyone made an appointment to play together tomorrow.
When he went back in the evening, Aman said: "You two are really."
"Hey Aman, let's go home early in the future, so as to leave time for Brother Zhuo Yan in the evening." Xiao Xian showed an expression of 'I am very smart'.
Shi Shi nodded, "I really don't want to stay in the cave."
"...Same." Aman told the truth, "Recently, there are slimy things everywhere in the tribe. These orcs are not afraid of hunger anymore. They just want to hug Orc, I might as well go to work."
Xiao Xian came closer, "Yu didn't find you?"
"He did, let's go to work." Aman preferred to work with Zhuo Yanzuan now, thinking: I'm really sorry, Zhuo Yan, for disturbing your and A-Yin's mating time, but they promise that they will return to the cave early before it gets dark!
Zhuo Yan had no idea that his friends were so considerate of him. Even Aman Shitou and Xiao Xian were a little "guilty and embarrassed" and felt that they were too selfish. They always wanted to ask Zhuo Yan to play, and then they wanted to plant bamboo tomorrow. Mi, they need to put more effort into making Zhuo Yan work less, so as to save energy for mating at night...
If Zhuo Yan knew:... I thank you all!
Zhuo Yan's friends are so considerate, and A Yin's friends cannot be left behind, especially some of the older orcs. After A Yin turned into a human form, everyone became even more enthusiastic about A Yin.
During the day, Ah Yin, Ah Tou, Ah Hui and some young orcs followed the mature orcs for a short hunting trip. Not long after they went out, they encountered a group of scattered reindeer. Ke stopped shouting.
"Don't go."
"Why?"
Ake's human form raised his chin, "Didn't you see that those reindeer were very agitated?"
"Are they going to fight? We'll wait for them to fight before we charge forward? In this way, the male reindeer won't be able to fight." Be on guard?" A Tou asked.
Ake fell behind the gentle slope of the grassland, basking in the sun and lazily saying: "See for yourselves."
A few young orcs were scattered and ambushing behind the undulating slope. A Yin, A Tou, and A Hui were crowded together on a slope. In the end, Ah Hui was forced to join. Because Ah Hui's strong enthusiasm came naturally, Ah Yin's friend group and the tribe already had Ah Hui by default.
Ah Hui: Victory!
The three young men were lying on the back of the slope, very far apart, observing the reindeer attentively, especially A Yin. He was very focused. Everyone thought that the mature orcs were teaching them hunting methods and experience.
When Ake looked at the group of silly boys, he burst out laughing silently.
Maha curled his lips, and Ake tried his old trick again. He was not one of those young boys who had just grown up - he had been fooled before. Now that Maha was leaning against the hillside, the sun was warming him up, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought. He also wanted to have a sub-orc.
Obviously he is so strong and strong, and he is good at hunting, why doesn't he have a sub-orc, even electricity has a partner...
The orcs in the tribe are not willing to sleep with him. Maha was a little troubled and depressed.
"It's starting to fight, it's really starting to happen!" Ah Tou saw two male reindeer fighting in the distance and cheered up. As expected, Ake was very experienced and even guessed that the deer were about to fight.
Ah Yin's eyes were wide open, very focused, and he was looking for an opportunity to jump out.
Of the entire hunting team, probably only the three young orcs behind the slope really thought they were going to hunt deer soon and did not dare to relax at all.
The two bucks fought for a while, but one fell behind.
Ah Yin asked in a low voice: "Are you going to rush now?"
Ake almost burst out laughing and said wait, wait, and you continued to stare. Maha curled his lips again and yawned boredly. His mind was filled with the single orcs in the tribe. The stone looked very strong, but it had a very stubborn temper. He had provoked him before, and he didn't like it very much. Aman also asked, but Aman said he was not interested...
The three humanoid figures of Ah Yin, Ah Hui, and Ah Tou all tensed up, waiting to switch to leopard form. They stared at the reindeer in front of them, and then saw The reindeer that won the fight ran up to the other deerâ
should the fight continue?
Is there another fight and they charge again?
Then three young orcs saw two reindeer mating...
Ake: "Hahahahahahaha." He laughed out loud. He looked at A Yin and his face froze for a long time. He was in disbelief and a little confused.
Ah Tou and Ah Hui realized something later. They had seen other prey mating before. When they realized that Ake was teasing them, they were angry but there was nothing they could do.
"Let's go, let's not disturb the deer-animal mating." Ake said.
Anyway, there is no shortage of food in the tribe. This season, let alone prey, even the orcs of the tribe, unless there is no more food in the cave, otherwise they are too lazy to go out hunting and just want to stay in the cave with their partners.
After Ake finished speaking, he still stared at Maha. This kid had wasted prey before, so he couldn't help but said seriously: "You were not struck by lightning during the rainy season last year. That's because the gods are merciful. If you disturb the mating and reproduction of prey during the breeding season, the clan leader will know and will punish you."
"...I know." Maha said stiffly.
Everyone retreated, still in human form. Because of the scene just now, the orcs started to talk more. It was hot in spring, and the boys were inevitably agitated. Those who had partners all missed their partners. They got together to chat and said that they wanted to mobilize the patrol team for a few days.
The patrol team is very relaxed. They stay in the tribe and don't go out. Everyone understands what it means.
"I want to, too."
"Then I can give it a day."
Ah Tou and Ah Hui were still angry that Ake had played tricks on them, with Ah Yin between them, one on the left and the other on the right. Ah Tou said, "No, we'll go hunting tomorrow. Let's find a prey that doesn't mate."
"Okay, let's go catch horned sheep? Or toothed pigs?" Ah Hui suggested. He knew a place where toothed pigs were found. , "Ah Yin, I'm better than last year, I'll show you the toothed pig."
Ah Yin was still thinking about something.
"We can compete, Ah Yin, you--" Ah Tou looked at Ah Yin, "Why are you in a daze?"
Akhahahaha, who heard from before, said: "You two, please don't date Ah Yin, Ah Yin will definitely do it tomorrow I want to go to the patrol."
"You know it again."
Ah Tou snorted.
Ake stopped and looked at the two young people, "You guys don't have a partner, you are stupid. Ah Yin's brother Zhuo Yan became an adult last year, right?"
Ah Hui and Ah Tou understood instantly, so Ah Tou didn't They were angry. They could go hunting with them or stay with their brother in the tribe. They could think about it with their toes. What would Ah Yin choose?
"Orcs will be very irritable in spring and need the company of orcs." The person from Aker shared his experience seriously with all the young orcs, "You should spend more time with the orcs and do more hard work, and your partners will be happy."
Of course . Have energy and time to spend with orcs. I won't say this anymore.
Ake looked at Maha again. This was an amazing orc in the tribe. He was obviously tall and strong and good at hunting, but he couldn't find the orc. It must be because of Maha.
"You need to take more care of the orcs and don't talk loudly to the orcs. We orcs are strong in the work in the cave. Do more strenuous work instead of doing nothing."
Maha retorted: "I hunted."
"Then you Just guard your hole." Ake didn't bother to say more. This maha really deserves to be without a mate and cubs.
Ah Yin listened very carefully, and even compared each item in his mind and reflected on it. He worked hard to fetch water every day, and the stone pot at home was always full of water. However, before he was in animal form, his brother did a lot of the work. , Brother, it's so hard.
He can now transform into human form, and he can also do other tasks!
In the evening of this day, the orcs and sub-orcs who went out for hunting, patrolling, and cleaning work by the river all returned to the tribe - the sun had not set yet, so everyone returned to the cave early anyway.
Zhuo Yan thought it was because everyone was too busy in the first half of the month, and now that they have been free, everyone wanted to go back and rest early. So does he.
"Awwww~" I won't go out tomorrow.
Ah Tou and Ah Hui: "Wow~" They knew it and were not disappointed at all.
The big silver leopard ran very fast. When he arrived at the slope in front of the cave, he passed by the family's animal cave first and found that the chicken and tooth pig hadn't come back yet. Ah Yin stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted: "Brother, I'm going to find the tooth pig~"
"Okay, tonight Let's eat Dudu fruit pancakes!" Zhuo Yan shouted.
Spring is coming, they can eat Dudu fruits, and there are still some potatoes left. Zhuo Yan plans to grind the potatoes into puree at home tomorrow to make potato powder!
He really wanted to eat rice and noodles, but since they were not available, potato flour and Dudu fruit pancakes were substituted.
The Dudu fruit juice had been sitting in the small clay pot for a long time. Zhuo Yan used a spoon to skim off the 'clear water' on it little by little. He deliberately left the Dudu fruit cakes and cold wild vegetables in the evening, just to wait for Ah Yin to come back. eat.
After eating meat all winter, Zhuo Yan really likes this kind of 'porridge and side dishes'.
Ah Yin drove the tooth pig back, and the chickens were already waving their wings and jumping into the fence. The tooth pig ran very fast, and Ah Yin ran behind him. When he returned to the cave, he said: "Brother, the tooth pig and the chicken are back." Come on, I'm going to fetch water~" He ran quickly with the bucket in his mouth.
Zhuo Yan:? ? ?
A gust of wind comes in and a gust of wind goes out with a bucket in its mouth.
His Ayin really likes to work, he is such a good boy. The affirmation from brother-chan.
In the afterglow of sunset, on the stove outside, Zhuo Yan wiped the slate with grease, and then started spreading pancakes. He said, "A Yin doesn't need to fetch water, it's enough."
"If you're bored, bring out the tables and stools, we'll be outside Eat. "
Have lunch early, and you can still see the night view while sitting at the entrance of the cave.
"I know, brother~" Ah Yin turned into a human form, with a table in one hand and two stools in the other.
Ah Yin finished everything and came to his brother's side. He looked at the tools on the stove and asked his brother if he wanted to wash them. He went to wash them. Zhuo Yan: ..."No, let's wash it together later."
"Okay, brother~"
Zhuo Yan smiled, "Ah Yin is very happy today." His tone of voice was rising.
Ah Yin looked a little shy and awkward, and said, "I want to help my brother with more work, Ake said."
Huh? Ake, the hunting class teacher, still teaches these things? Zhuo Yan was a little surprised, nodded his head and said, "Ah Yin has done a lot, now wash your hands, we can eat."
Ah Yin held the pancake plate, placed the spoons and chopsticks, and Zhuo Yan also heated up a small pot The Dudu juice - the precipitated juice is boiled, so there is no waste. After boiling, it is more viscous than water and is quite delicious.
They drank from this water cup. The big bowl on the table was filled with cold wild vegetables that Zhuo Yan and Shitou had pinched during the day. They mashed garlic and poured hot oil on it. Add a little salt and oil residue. It tasted really fragrant and had a refreshing taste. , and a little crunchy.
"Eat." Zhuo Yan was very satisfied with the simple meal tonight.
Ah Yin served her brother some food first, and Zhuo Yan let Ah Yin eat it by herself.
"Well, it's so delicious!"
Ah Yin: "Everything I do tastes delicious."
"Haha, too." Zhuo Yan was proud for a second. The two of them would chat during meals and talk about what each other did during the day, otherwise it would be boring. "...We will find a place to plant bamboo rice tomorrow. It's a bit late this year. I forgot to go to the forest to look for mushrooms."
Ah Yin: "Do you want green mushrooms? Brother, I can look for them tomorrow."
"No, you can eat them if you want . "I guess it's too late now?" Zhuo Yan is not sure either. It's less than a month since the snow season, and areas with dense forests should be relatively humid, and maybe still.
"Then go to the forest to look for it the day after tomorrow." Zhuo Yan fought for mushrooms. There may be other wild vegetables in the forest. Since he has the genes of beasts, Zhuo Yan plans to be bolder and chew more suspected wild vegetables. .
You can dry it after picking it and soak it when you eat it.
Wild vegetables are so delicious!
Ah Yin said: "Brother, I will plant bamboo rice with you tomorrow. I can plow the ground and I am strong."
"Aren't you going to join the hunting team?"
"No, I will go to the patrol team the day after tomorrow." Ah Yin I thought, tomorrow I will plant bamboo rice with my brother, and the day after tomorrow we will only have to patrol for half a day, and the remaining half of the day I will go to the forest with my brother to look for mushrooms. "Brother, wait for me the day after tomorrow, let's go to the forest together? I can carry you on my back, so you don't have to walk hard."
Zhuo. Yan: I'm so moved.
His Ah Yin is so sensible, who knows? Walking won't be hard!
In order not to hurt Ah Yin's sensible and filial heart (bushi), Zhuo Yan agreed to Ah Yin's proposal, "But you don't need to carry it. Shitou, Xiaoxian and Aman will definitely go there too. Let's walk there together. If the things we come back are too heavy, You carry it for me."
"Okay!" A Yin agreed happily.
Zhuo Yan also became happy.
The two enjoyed dinner. After sunset, the moon and stars came out, illuminating the entrance of the cave with silver. After eating, the two of them cleaned up together - putting the dishes and chopsticks in the wooden bucket, and Ah Yin took them to the river to wash, and happened to brush his teeth and wash up. .
Zhuo Yan only had soap in his hand.
When he and A Yin walked down, there were other sub-orcs and orcs bathing by the river. They were far away. Zhuo Yan asked A Yin to go to the other side - farther away. As a result, he saw the orcs turned into beasts. He went back carrying the orcs on his back.
Okay, just him and Ah Yin are left.
"Brother, just now the sub-orc was kissing the orc on the mouth." Ah Yin squatted by the river washing dishes and turned to look at his brother, "I only kissed my brother's head and face before, do you want to kiss him on the mouth?"
Zhuo Yan: Huh? !
ah! ! ! !
No, they were here to wash dishes and take a shower, why did they suddenly come up with this problem. Zhuo Yan met A Yin's earnest and inquiring gaze, then lowered his head to look at the soap in his hand -
the idea of ââpicking up soap actually appeared in his broken head!
"Also..." He opened his mouth and found that his throat was a little dry. He coughed, but he didn't want to fool Ah Yin. After all, Ah Yin was older, so he said seriously: "Kissing on the mouth is something that only partners can do."
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin felt like a puppy. The handsome humanoid boy put down the bowl in his hand and maintained a squatting posture. With bright eyes, he jumped a step and looked closer at his brother -
Zhuo Yan was so cute that the two of them were so close. A little closer, he saw the anticipation in Ah Yin's eyes.
"Brother, can Ah Yin be your partner?"
Chapter 62
A Yin's mouth looks very kissable.
Soft, a little red, and very beautiful.
Zhuo Yan was startled by this idea and had only one thought: Is he having a fever? To actually have such an idea, the person opposite A Yin was brought up by him alone - that's an exaggeration.
His eyes didn't dare to meet Ah Yin's, not sure if it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, but Ah Yin came over and tilted her head to his face, and the two of them breathed together.
Zhuo Yan's heartbeat was pounding.
"Then, what - wait until you are an adult."
"Okay, brother~" Ah Yin was very happy, "I will be an adult during the snow season this year, right?"
Zhuo Yan was already shocked by himself, how could he say that Waiting for Ah Yin to grow up is very much like a promise. He clearly wants to say no, but he can't do it now anyway. He will talk about it later when you understand your partner's feelings.
Woohoo, he has turned into a dead green tea.
Also fishing for Ah Yin.
Zhuo Yan didn't dare to look at A Yin now, and muttered vaguely. When people are embarrassed, they will pretend to be busy - A Yin was washing the dishes and chopsticks. Zhuo Yan took a piece of soap and went into the river to take a bath in cold water. After being stirred up, my mind became clearer and I felt even more sad.
He is doubting his life because he is a potential Sha Shao Green Tea.
He had been single for such a long time, and he had always thought that he was an upright, reliable, and cool young man of the new era. He never expected that Zhuo Yan, you would be so obscene and shameless!
I miss Ah Yin, who was ignorant in her seventeenth and eighteenth years.
Zhuo Yan: ...wept bitterly and took a shower.
"Brother, let me wash it for you."
"No, no need. Have you washed the dishes?"
"It's done." Ah Yin put the bucket on the bank, jumped into the river and swam to his brother. After wetting Ah Yin's hair, when he surfaced -
he was such a handsome guy!
"Then brother, help A Yin wash it!" A Yin went over and hugged his brother.
Zhuo Yan: ...I feel like we are a bit ambiguous. Didn't you see that your brother is crying and reflecting on himself?
"Okay, okay."
Zhuo Yan:! ! ! He was shocked again by his answer, as if he was possessed by something. Something was really wrong with him. Is this his nature? It's just that there was no handsome guy to flirt with him before, so he was so serious.
Turns out he's a prude. cried.
That night in the river, Zhuo Yan was in a daze as he rubbed Ah Yin's eight-pack abs and hair. After rubbing his hair, he couldn't help but touch his chest muscles. Then, as if he was possessed by a ghost, he suddenly saw himself. Putting his hand on Ah Yin's chest, he suddenly became serious and rubbed Ah Yin's arms...
Ah Yin really liked his brother taking a bath with him. When his brother helped him wash, he also helped him wash. He was so good tonight. , he could even touch his brother while standing in the river, and his brother didn't say no.
What a great night.
Back in the cave that night, Ah Yin took out the dishes and put them on the table. Zhuo Yan rubbed the straw mat and was a little hesitant to sleep separately. It was still cold in the morning and evening, and the leather covering was a little warm. It's a bit cold to sleep on a straw mat, but it's just right for two people to sleep on a straw mat and cover themselves with a quilt -
ahhhhhh! Zhuo Yan, you are really scheming. You obviously want to sleep with Ah Yin. What excuse are you looking for!
He is not an ignorant boy in his late teens. Although he is a single mother, he has been struggling in society for many years. How could he not know his true thoughts? Not only does he not reject sleeping with Ah Yin in his heart, he even has a little desire for it.
After understanding the truth, Zhuo Yan covered his face. He really seemed to have something... something wrong.
"Brother, let's go to bed." Ah Yin had packed up, closed the door, took off his clothes and hung them on the hooks on the cave wall.
Zhuo Yan: ...
"Sleep, sleep." Something is wrong.
The two of them got on the stone bed, each smelling of soap, but Ah Yin felt that her brother smelled good, so she held her brother in her arms and licked her brother -
Zhuo Yan's adult sense of responsibility kept poking at him, and at this time he touched him. He touched Ah Yin's head, not wanting to stop licking it, and said seriously: "A Yin, do you know what a mate is?"
"I know!" Ah Yin's eyes lit up, "My brother and I can mate." She
seriously planned to popularize science and talk . Zhuo Yan, the upright and good brother who didn't want to take advantage of the ignorant boy, said: cough cough cough, stumbling, "Apart from mating, it's feelings. You know love-"
"I know, Ah Yin likes my brother the most." Ah Yin After rushing to answer, he looked at his brother, "Brother also likes Ah Yin, and Ah Yin knows it."
Zhuo Yan muttered: "How do you know, I didn't even tell you."
"Brother only cares about Ah Yin. "I miss Ah Yin and I like Ah Yin."
Zhuo Yan's face burned, so what the hell - anyway, the matter of 'love' was not discussed clearly in the end, because Ah Yin firmly believed that they loved each other just because. He is not yet an adult, so he will be his partner during this snow season and they will be able to mate.
No, how could Ah Yin know that he liked him.
Although it was love, wasn't it the relationship between family members before? Now he is talking about love! Love, little fool.
Ah Yin is not stupid. Animals are born with intuition and sensitivity. They hold a person in their hearts and like the taste of a person. They will remember it firmly without saying anything, without questioning anything, and firmly believe in Zhuo Yan.
That night, the two of them fell asleep in a daze - simply sleeping.
We made an appointment to plant bamboo rice the next day. Early in the morning, Zhuo Yan cut a large piece of bacon at home. Ah Yin went to pick the big leaves, washed them and brought them back. Zhuo Yan held the meat with the leaves and put it in a basket on his back. There was also a bamboo tube of bamboo rice in it - Qiao A gift from the Feathered Market given to him before.
It was originally a percussion instrument, but Leng asked him to use it as a storage box.
The small animals at home are let out to find food on their own. Ah Yin closed the door, Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket, and Ah Yin carried the wooden bucket. When they reached the bottom of the slope, they saw Dayun running very fast from a distance, and shouted: "Brother Zhuo Yanââ" After running a few steps, he shouted As soon as Dayun saw Ah Yin, she was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran back to find her elder brother.
Zhuo Yan:?
"Did you scare Dayun?"
Ah Yin said, "Brother, I didn't scare her."
"That doesn't look like it." Zhuo Yan muttered. Ah Yin said happily: "Dayun is so smart. Spring is here. Although my brother and I are not partners yet, we will be soon."
What and what, even if we are partners, it will be winter, and it will be more than half a year. Most of the year was 'immediately', Zhuo Yan complained in his heart, but after complaining, he found that he accepted A Yin's logic.
In winter, he and A Yin were friends.
He obviously didn't agree, he just said 'let's talk', and the result was...
"Brother Zhuo Yan, have you been waiting for a long time? Why did you get up so early." Xiao Xian ran over and said. There is also his second brother behind him.
Ah Tou greeted Ah Yin and they chatted together. Ah Yin was in a good mood today and asked Ah Tou why he didn't go to the patrol. Ah Tou said that Xiao Xian was planting bamboo rice today. When I heard it, it was not just you and your brother who were working, so I came to play with you.
Finally, he added: Ah Hui, that guy doesn't know, let's leave quickly.
In short: Ah Tou is quite smart.
Zhuo Yan and Xiao Xian chatted for a while. Shitou Dayun and Aman arrived. Several people went out of the river. Zhuo Yan had already figured out the approximate location. There was no room in the tribe, especially the riverside area - a gentle slope close to his home. In fact, there is still a large area, but bamboo grows very fast, and it is dense and easy to attract snakes and insects. Although he has chickens to eat, it also blocks the light.
Then I thought of the forest of thin trees. The area closest to the tribe was somewhat empty. Although some saplings had grown up, it was still quite empty. The forest farther away was very dense, and the empty space here could be used to grow bamboo and rice.
The soil is fertile and the temperature is suitable. Because they are all thin and small trees, the sunshine is also very good.
Perfect!
Zhuo Yan said: "Then let's plant two bamboo rice here, two steps apart." He only planted a small tube of bamboo rice, probably less than a hundred, and the survival rate is unknown.
Everyone brought their own stone knife tools. Shitou, Aman, and Xiaoxian were digging holes very seriously today. They worked for almost two or three hours. Zhuo Yan said there was no rush and would take a break. Are the three of them still unwilling? ? ?
"No, aren't you tired? You're not in a hurry."
"If you can't finish planting in one day, you can come back tomorrow. Besides, there are so many of us. Come and have a rest. What are you three in a hurry for?" Zhuo Yan was sweating a little.
Ah Yin said: "Brother, I went to fetch water." He wanted to tell Ah Tou that his brother promised him to become a partner with him during the snow season this year. He wanted to tell Ah Tou secretly, because his brother would be shy if he heard it.
"Okay."
Ah Yin and Ah Tou ran to the river to fetch water. Zhuo Yan was sitting under the tree and resting. The other three people had stopped what they were doing, and Dayun was playing in the mud there.
"We want to finish our work and go home early." After Xiao Xian finished speaking, he added: "It would be best if the sun has not set yet, so Brother Zhuo Yan, you and A Yin can go back to the cave."
Zhuo Yan: "What are you so anxious about?
"I want you to spend more time mating with Ah Yin," A Man said .
Zhuo Yan:? ? ? Dashaman, what nonsense are you talking about!
He looked at the stone and then at Xiao Xian, who had a proud "smart" look on his face. The two of them had the same idea as A Man. Zhuo Yan: ..."How can you come to this conclusion? I don't understand. Ah Yin and I are no different from before. He is not yet an adult."
"Brother Zhuo Yan, aren't you going to mate with Ah Yin? " ?" Xiao Xian was happy, so that he could play with Brother Zhuo Yan more in the future.
"Of course not." Zhuo Yan said firmly.
Unexpectedly, Aman just curled his lips and didn't believe it. Shitou looked at him and said: "Zhuo Yan, Ah Yin is seventeen or eighteen years old. He will be an adult next year. He can actually do it this year. Really. The orcs can't do it, but the orcs can do it. They are strong and strong, so they can do it.
"Yes, spring is here. How uncomfortable you were at this time last year. You have Ah Yin, so why make yourself uncomfortable?" Aman added .
Zhuo Yan: "I don't feel bad, I'm fine."
He has the sense to overcome the estrus period!
When he saw that the three of them were silent, they all had expressions on their faces that said, "Brother Zhuo Yan/Zhuo Yan is being tough." Zhuo Yan: ...He didn't.
Last year was just a little distraught.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Mr. Xiao Xian came out to smooth things over. He still remembered that Brother Zhuo Yan said that he was shy and embarrassed every time.
Aman said: "We are your partners. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, if you want to ask anything, just say it. We won't laugh at you."
"...Then I thank you."
"You're welcome." Aman was open and happy. Said, and then added: "I don't know what poisonous mushroom Maha ate by mistake recently, but he came to me and wanted to mate with me."
Shitou: "He also came to me."
Zhuo Yan:! ! ! ! Damn it! This is a big deal. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you say that he and Ah Yin were "missing"?
"Is that Maha looking for you? It's really hateful. He's not dedicated at all. You two can't be deceived." Zhuo Yan looked at Xiao Xian again, his eyes sparkling with lightning.
Xiao Xian was so frightened that he immediately waved his hand, "No, no, he didn't look for me. My brother Zhuo Yan, who is not yet an adult, can be an orc, but sub-orcs are still very young. I heard everyone say that orcs are bigger."
"..." That's it . . Zhuo Yan jumped over Xiao Xian and said surprisingly, "It's okay if I'm not looking for you. If other orcs are looking for you, you can fall in love, but they have to wait until you are an adult to mate."
Xiao Xian laughed, "Brother Zhuo Yan, I know "
Zhuo Yan turned his head and looked at Shitou Aman. He also wanted to care about his two partners.
"Look at what I'm doing. I don't like Maha, who's dirty and doesn't like to take a bath. I heard that he lived with his mother and father before, and the cave was very smelly." Shitou said with a look of disgust.
Zhuo Yan: I almost forgot that Shitou's aesthetic orientation is the clean-loving and beautiful male/female type.
But Oman has a muscular and muscular aesthetic. Zhuo Yan looked at Aman.
"I'm not a fool. The orcs in the entire tribe don't like Maha. Maha spoke loudly and rudely to the orcs. Although he didn't hit the orcs, he was scared to death." Aman raised his chin, " Everyone doesn't like it. If I live in the same cave as Ma Ha, everyone will laugh at me. "
Very good, Zhuo Yan was relieved.
But after Aman said this, he held his cheek with one hand and said with some sadness: "But spring is really annoying."
Shitou nodded.
"I feel a little uncomfortable."
Aman agreed: "I want to find an orc, but there is no one I like."
Xiao Xian interjected: "Yu."
"He... is too thin, and he is a cheetah. If I give birth to cubs "It's not good if it's a cheetah." Aman explained: "Yu's parents died in a cheetah attack. His brother and my sister became partners and took care of him for several years."
"Yu's mother is a cheetah." Added: "I'll die in the beast attack soon."
Zhuo Yan nodded and understood. Aman is single and has his own standards for choosing a mate. Everyone in the tribe is strong. Although Yu is pitiful, he can't marry Yu just because he pities Yu. Partners give birth to young.
"The most important thing is that Yu Ta Lao complained, he listened to Ada and Ah Hui when hunting, and he listened to his brother when living in the cave..." Aman said.
Zhuo Yan: "I understand. What you care about is that Yu looks like he's grown up, but he still can't live independently and doesn't have his own thoughts."
Aman thought carefully about what Zhuo Yan said and nodded repeatedly.
Ah Yin, who came back from fetching water, raised his ears and listened to the conversation between his brother and A Man. Then he nodded. Ah Tou asked you why you nodded. Ah Yin said: "Brother is talking about Yu, not me. I just want to listen to brother."
Ah Tou: "?" Yu didn't come either.
They had a simple barbecue and baked potatoes for lunch. While they were eating, Ah Hui ran over and squeezed Ah Tou's seat, saying, "You came out to play with Ah Yin and you didn't even call me!" He then said to Ah Yin, "He was there yesterday. He told me to go to the patrol team together, but he came out to play with you. "
Ah Yin told the truth: "We met together in the morning, and we didn't have an appointment yesterday."
"That's right," Ah Tou said lazily. Upon seeing this, Ah Hui, regardless of what happened before, happily asked Ah Tou and Ah Yin where they were going to play in the afternoon. Ah Yin said that they were not going anywhere. After planting bamboo rice, he and his brother were going home and he would go on patrol tomorrow.
"Really? Are you really patrolling tomorrow? Then I will go on patrol tomorrow too."
Ah Tou: "Then I'll go tomorrow too."
"What are you going to do after your tour tomorrow? You must go to play?" Ah Hui asked.
Ah Yin: "I want to accompany my brother to the forest to look for mushrooms."
"Then I'll go too."
"What are you going to do?" Ah Tou asked.
"Then are you going?"
Ah Tou affirmed: "I'm going. My brother is going, so of course I'm going too."
"Why can't I go if you go? I'm going too." Ah Hui retorted.
Shitou looked at the two adult orcs across from him and curled his lips. These were some good adult orcs that his father said he could choose from - he didn't want them! Aman was also chewing potatoes boredly, thinking to himself, this Ah Hui wanted to date Zhuo Yan before, but Ah Yin was beaten down, but now he doesn't look as stupid as before.
After dinner, we took a break and continued digging holes to plant bamboo and rice in the afternoon.
A Hui ran back and forth to fetch water. When he learned that A Yin and his brother Xue Ji were going to get married, he immediately said: We are going hunting before the wedding ceremony, and we can go together. He knew that A Da got married before, and A Yin Let me help you.
When Ah Yin heard this, the handsome guy giggled.
At around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the bamboo rice was planted, and today's work was over.
"Go home."
As soon as Zhuo Yan finished speaking, he turned around and saw the expressions of "Great" on the faces of the three of them. He didn't want to see the expressions that followed - he could have guessed that it was the time for him and A-Yin to mate at night. More.
Go back to the tribe and cross the river, simply clean up, and then go home.
"Zhuo Yan, see you after lunch tomorrow," Shitou said. Aman followed up and said: "One night and one morning!"
Xiao Xian: Hehehehehe.
Zhuo Yan: ...Nothing will happen!
Back in the cave, Zhuo Yan began to make potato powder. He washed the potatoes and threw them into a stone pot to mash them. This was left to A Yin, who was very strong. Zhuo Yan picked wild vegetables and blanched them. He didn't eat any meat tonight because he ate too much bacon at noon.
Potatoes mashed in a stone pot are added with water to settle - just like making Dudu fruit hand-rolled flour.
It was getting dark after a busy meal, so Ah Yin moved the table and stools to the entrance of the cave early, and the two of them sat for a long time after eating. Zhuo Yan worked all day today and fell asleep after eating. He yawned several times and was too lazy to clean up.
"Brother, I'm going to wash the dishes."
Zhuo Yan responded vaguely.
Ah Yin took the dishes and chopsticks and went to the river to wash them. After cleaning up the stove and putting things away, he looked at his sleepy brother on the stool. Ah Yin squatted next to his brother and said, "Brother, should I carry you to the river?"
" Okay! Just finish washing up and go to bed early today," Zhuo Yan said, cheering up.
He thought Ah Yin was carrying him in the form of a beast, but it turned out that Ah Yin's human form was facing away from him. Zhuo Yan was indeed sleepy and his brain was slowing down at that moment. When he climbed onto Ah Yin's back, Ah Yin held his thigh with one hand and held the leaves of the bubble tree with the other.
"I-I'll get it." Zhuo Yan took the leaf. There was not much soap at home, so he said to use it sparingly, and Ah Yin was very economical.
"Brother uses soap, and I use tree leaves." Ah Yin went to get the soap.
Zhuo Yan hurriedly said: "The leaves are also very good, let's go, let's go, come back and sleep after washing." That small piece of soap, he and A Yin were taking a bath in the river yesterday, he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and he was in a daze. I knew what I was doing, so when I took a look this morning, I saw that the soap that was not much in the first place had become smaller again.
Last night, the two of them seemed to be... rubbing each other in the river for a long time.
The soap has been soaked in the river for a long time.
Zhuo Yan lay on Ah Yin's back and swore: Today he must be clear-headed and not make mistakes, and... Ah Yin's hands are quite big and can hug his thigh - ahhhhh! ! !
What happened to him!
He was never this kind of person before, really, I swear.
Fortunately, it was normal to wash up tonight. After the two of them finished washing, A Yin was carrying him in the shape of a beast. He was holding A Yin's small leather skirt and waistcoat in his hand. When they got to the cave, A Yin whined and said: "Brother, I went to bed directly." "
Then I'll close the door." Zhuo Yan put A Yin's clothes away and breathed a sigh of relief. His sanity was on the line in the river tonight. It seems that last night was just an accident. Very good. He is still very upright and reliable. of.
Close the door, go to bed, and sleep.
Ah Yin turned into a human form, with half-dried hair - the animal form came back and was shaken for a long time. Zhuo Yan's hair was also a little wet, so he said, "Sit for a while. It's not good to sleep with wet hair."
"Okay, brother."
The two sat on the stone bed.
Zhuo Yan quickly regretted this suggestion because the atmosphere was a bit weird. Water droplets from A Yin's hair fell on A Yin's neck and slid down to his chest, hiding his abdominal muscles and disappearing. Zhuo Yan felt his throat was a little itchy and looked away. He had nothing to say, "I remember you ignored Ah Hui before, but now we seem to have a good relationship."
"He used to be annoying, but now he is very enthusiastic." Ah Yin looked at Brother, said: "I didn't want to play with him originally. He likes me. Everyone in the tribe likes me. This is okay, but he likes me in a very bad way -"
"No, no, he doesn't really like me." "
A Yin couldn't tell, he had his own intuition. Zhuo Yan understood that Ah Hui had always been a bitch and simple-minded before, and he definitely didn't understand the true feelings between partners. He was just following what others said - you can date an orc when you are just an adult. This is what everyone in the tribe does, so Ah Hui did it too.
If you really like him, then that's definitely not the case.
"Ah Yin really likes my brother, Ah Yin knows it." Ah Yin said with bright eyes.
Zhuo Yan felt a little hot. Maybe the weather had gotten hotter recently, and it wasn't very cold at night in the cave. He changed the topic and said, "Go to sleep. I don't think it's very wet anymore."
Ah Yin obeyed and hugged his brother and lay down. Zhuo Yan felt a strange sense of restlessness, his body was a little sleepy, but he was also a little excited - he didn't know what he was excited about, especially when A Yin was close to him, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and even wanted to get closer.
...It seems to be really affected by the season.
Zhuo Yan was still adamant during the day. He had reason, so he closed his eyes and muttered: "Sleep, sleep, I'm so sleepy."
In fact, last year, he didn't really believe that he was in the estrus of a sub-orc.
There was some collapse in his dream that night. He dreamed of kissing A Yin. He was holding A Yin's neck, and the water droplets from A Yin's hair fell on his collarbone. It was a bit wet and ambiguous, and they kissed.
But because Zhuo Yan had never kissed before, this kiss was a little strange - not so real. Like what happened before the kiss was very real, the hug, the skin touching each other, they were twisted into a twist, and the water droplets fell on his skin, he could imagine it, it was very real.
Until that kiss, Zhuo Yan knew that it was indeed a dream. When he woke up, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little empty and lost. It was like a fish that had been swimming freely in the water all night. In the morning, it came out of the water and told you that you are People, not fish.
Although this is the real world, but... I just feel very unhappy about the shortcomings.
So after lunch that day, Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket on his back and Ah Yin and other people gathered at the foot of the slope to look for mushrooms in the woods. Zhuo Yan deliberately asked Ah Yin and his friends to watch the road in front. He and Shitou Xiaoxian Aman walked a little behind.
Picking mushrooms today, I didn't take Da Yun with me because Da Yun might stuff everything into his mouthâincluding poisonous mushrooms.
"What are you doing?" Aman first noticed that something was wrong with Zhuo Yan.
Xiao Xian also noticed it, "Brother Zhuo Yan, did you not sleep well last night?"
"It's okay." Zhuo Yan didn't dare to say how good he ate (bushi) in his dream last night. He really couldn't accept that he was a bitch by nature. In the past, when he was single in modern times until he was twenty-seven, he couldn't It doesn't burn like this.
Never!
During the restlessness of adolescence, he relied entirely on exercise.
So Zhuo Yan thought about it and decided that it must be this season.
"Shitou Aman, will you two feel more uncomfortable in the second spring than in the first?" He didn't have such a fever last year, he was just a little upset and sentimental about spring, but he never had an erotic dream.
Aman finally understood, "No wonder you asked Ah Yin to go away. It turned out that we were talking about this."
"It's just that my body gets a little hot at night, and sometimes I get a little annoyed." Shitou thought about it carefully, "I do this every year, there is no first." "Every year is different."
Xiao Xian was curious: "Brother Zhuo Yan, are you feeling particularly uncomfortable this year?"
"A Yin has become a human this year. Zhuo Yan, don't bear it. You haven't been there since A Yin was still a white-haired boy. " I secretly like Ah Yin. I was worried about you before. Ah Yin is a beast. Now he is so good. Why are you still hesitant? "Aman doesn't understand.
Xiao Xian: "Yes, yes."
The three of them all had expressions on their faces like, "What are you struggling with?"
Zhuo Yan: ...Fortunately, he hasn't said anything yet. He dreamed of kissing A Yin last night.
Otherwise, after all the twists and turns, it will become "something I obviously want" - even more twists and turns.
"Let me give you an example, Shitou, if Aman's brother chases you when he was seventeen or eighteen and wants to be your partner, don't worry, don't worry, he is very beautiful and handsome, and he also likes to be clean. "
Brother Aman was like a little mud monkey. Shitou almost became anxious before he heard what he said.
Shitou listened carefully and said, "Very beautiful and handsome, and very clean?"
"Yes, he is also very good to you. You watched him grow up and regarded him as a younger brother. He is now seventeen or eighteen years old. He is very good-looking. It's clean and it's spring again -"
Shitou didn't even think about it: "There's such a good thing, then I'll have cubs with him."
Zhuo Yan: ...
Aman Xiaoxian laughed, and Shitou also laughed. stand up. Zhuo Yan realized that Shitou had just been teasing him. But Shitou quickly said: "I don't like his brother. But Zhuo Yan, you like Ah Yin. I don't understand why you have been thinking about this for a long time these days. If you are happy, Ah Yin will be happy too." That's fine."
"Yeah, if you don't want to mate, just do it. You have to ask yourself about the matter between you and Ah Yin." "That's right, Brother
Zhuo Yan, it's great to be happy."
The living conditions are difficult and life is short. Everyone is particularly concerned about the things that make them happy in life. There are not so many constraints - so orcs and sub-orcs live together. If they are unhappy, they will separate. Everyone who is willing to get married Blessings, no one will say anything if you don't want to.
Even if you have several relationships and are unwilling to raise the cub alone, you can send the cub to a large cave. When Ah Yin was still a white-haired boy, he lived in the big cave and survived by stumbling.
Zhuo Yan has a moral bottom line and would definitely not abandon a cub for adoption.
Having said that, Zhuo Yan was thinking, how about kissing A Yin first tonight?
He is really burning!
Chapter 63
In the forest that afternoon, they ran a little further this time because there were orcs. The orcs in the nearby forest tribes had all found edible food. Sure enough, there were mushrooms in the distance, and even a lot of fungus was found on a huge broken log. This was a good thing, and Zhuo Yan was very happy.
Aman found a light green mushroom and excitedly held it up to Zhuo Yan and said, "This is very delicious, but there will be a lot of things in front of you after eating it, but you won't have a stomachache. It's delicious!"
Zhuo Yan ! Yan: ...Aman really likes smoking mushrooms.
However, this kind of mushroom reminded him of the modern green mushrooms, which are green when cut and contain toxins. They need to be fried for a longer time, and they will be fine if they are cooked at high temperature and eaten. So he asked Aman: "How did you eat it before?" Is it undercooked?
"Cook the soup, tear it into pieces, throw it in and boil it."
He remembered that it would take at least fifteen to twenty minutes to stir-fry the shouqing. Zhuo Yan looked at the mushrooms in Aman's hand this time and said, "Why don't you pick some and fry them at my house to eat."
"Okay, I'm not afraid." Aman threw the mushrooms into his backpack, "I know. There's a piece full of them. I'll pick them."
"Brother Zhuo Yan, if this is cooked, won't there be any more things moving around?" "I don't know. Let's go back and fry it. Let
's test it."
People, just eat it. Zhuo Yan is much more courageous now than when he first arrived. It is true that the Leopard Man tribe does not have the habit of eating vegetables - there are few vegetables. He needs to find some edible vegetables to balance his meal.
So in the forest, Zhuo Yan wanted to taste the grass when he saw it, but before he picked some, A Yin would come over and say he couldn't eat them, some were stones and said he couldn't eat them, and some A Man said he had a stomachache...
Very good, Everyone has tasted it.
Xiao Xian said: "Brother Zhuo Yan, this won't hurt your stomach, but it will make your mouth numb when you eat it."
"Ning and numb?!" Zhuo Yan immediately rushed over excitedly, "Let me see where the numbness is." Isn't it a pepper tree?
Xiao Xian pointed out that the tree was as high as the knees of everyone's calves. At first glance, it looked like a Haloxylon ammodendron tree, not a pepper tree. Zhuo Yan was not disappointed. It was so easy to find, and it was okay to replace it. As long as it was not poisonous, it was numb. Can.
He squatted down, and several others also squatted down, and everyone studied the grass.
The surface of the grass exploded, and there were some small particles with thorns, which were a bit like peppercorns. Zhuo Yan reached out and picked them off, and A Yin said: "Brother, let me taste it."
"It's okay, Xiao Xian has already eaten it. Zhuo Yan said with certainty.
Xiao Xian chuckled, he was indeed curious and had eaten it, "The thorns were a little bit prickly, and I couldn't taste the barbecue in my mouth."
In spring, the thorns were still soft and green, so Zhuo Yan threw them into his mouth and bit them open. Suddenly there was a surge of energy that made his whole body wrinkle up. Aman was so curious that he picked the stone and put it in his mouth.
As a result, no one in the group escaped.
Zhuo Yan's facial features were distorted: double hemp, concentrated Sichuan peppercorns, who knows.
Everyone else understands and understands the same style of distorted facial features.
His tongue is now numb and he is drooling. Several people slobbered, Shitou couldn't bear it, and said vaguely: "Is my tongue broken?", "Me too.", "Hahahaha, it's just numb." Xiao Xian finished eating and ate another one. , he eats with everyone, which is fun.
Zhuo Yan liked it very much and even packed up the trees and planned to plant them in front of his house.
"Brother, do you like it?" A Yin's tongue was still numb.
Zhuo Yan said: "I like it. One pill is enough for cooking at this concentration." You can also grind it into powder and add it to barbecue!
He added another seasoning: prehistoric orc version of peppercorns.
Today was really a fruitful day. He also picked a lot of non-toxic grasses. He planned to go back and sort them out one by one to see which ones were the most delicious, and then promote them to vegetables.
In the evening, before the sun went down, the group went back. Ah Hui ran out empty-handed. He used to play like this with the orcs. If he came out bare-handed, he would fight back any small prey. This time he came out with Ah Yin and Ah Tou. Everyone was carrying rattan baskets and carrying them with them. He picked up a stone knife and filled it with grass when he returned.
Ah Hui saw that everyone was picking the grass. Although he thought the grass was not tasty and they were orcs, but when he saw that Zhuo Yan and other sub-orcs were picking it, he also picked some and planned to take it back to the cave to give to his grandma.
Next time he goes out, he should also carry a rattan basket. Ah Hui thought.
After crossing the river, Ah Hui was going home. Zhuo Yan glanced at Ah Yin. Ah Yin said, "Ah Hui, my brother said he would have dinner at my house tonight. Do you want to come?"
"!" Ah Hui's eyes flashed. Surprised, "I'm here, I'm here!"
When they arrived in the cave, the three orcs went out to fetch water and work. Ah Yin also planted the masculine tree that his brother brought back, and asked his brother: "Can I plant it in the garlic seedling field?" "
Yes!" Zhuo Yan agreed.
So Ah Yin took his two partners to dig holes to plant hemp trees and to fetch water for watering. Zhuo Yan and Shitou started to pack the vegetables. There was also bacon at home. Zhuo Yan cut a large piece, cut the meat into thick slices, and grilled it for a while.
"You pick vegetables, and I'll get some peppercorns." Zhuo Yan wanted to add some to the barbecue.
Although Shi Shitou didn't really like the Sichuan peppercorns that made his tongue feel numb, he decided to try it again because Zhuo Yan was cooking. A Man also had the same idea. Any food in Zhuo Yan's hands would always be delicious.
Dinner is: fried bacon, fried mushrooms and stewed potatoes.
Zhuo Yan packed up the green mushrooms and fungus. Each of them picked half of the basket. The fat melted in the large earthenware pot. First, stir-fry the green mushrooms over high heat. Stir-fry for about five or six minutes. Then add water, put the potatoes and fungus. Then stew and put a handful of 'grass' in it.
Aman watched from the side, "You've been cooking it for a long time, so it's no longer poisonous?"
"I don't know, try it anyway." Zhuo Yan looked at a few people, "If the screen appears later, don't go home yet. Wait for the scene to pass before going back."
He was afraid that a few people would go the wrong way and run out of the tribe and be in danger.
"It only takes a while to see the picture." Aman described that it would not last long, "It's short anyway, and it's quite fun."
Zhuo Yan saw on Aman's face that he was still unfinished, if after a while this pot of mushroom soup is really cooked and has no toxins - - Anyway, he is very happy. No matter Aman, not everyone wants to take mushrooms, and this kind of mushrooms is the most common.
From now on, you can eat mushrooms every spring, how great.
"Look at the pots. You can brush oil on the slate for frying the meat. I'm going to grind the pepper powder." Zhuo Yan handed the stove to Shitou. Shitou really liked his double stove and was addicted to it.
Thinking about the amount of meat, Zhuo Yan picked five pellets and said to A Yin: "It's almost time to eat, wash your hands."
"I know, brother!" A Yin took his friends to the river to clean.
Ah Hui said: "Your brother loves to be clean." He actually wanted to say that it was so troublesome to eat clean, but he thought that if he said that, Ah Yin would not play with him.
"Of course." Ah Yin was proud. Being clean is a good thing.
Zhuo Yan washed the peppercorns and placed them on the stove - very close to the stove hole, so that they could be dried slightly and the green thorns on the surface were burned away. Then he mashed them into powder and mixed them with some water. , roll up the skin and dip it in peppercorn water and pour some on the fried meat. This should not be too heavy.
The steaks were browned one by one and placed on a big plate. Ah Yin moved out the long table at home. There were no stools and everyone sat on the floor or stood to eat.
Zhuo Yan thought about making a bench some other time. He has many friends. He likes the private life of a small family in the Leopard tribe, and also likes to hang out with friends - because there will be no leisure and entertainment activities, so he can work with his friends. Chatting is just playing.
There are two big plates full of fried bacon and a big pot of mushroom soup. Fortunately, there are enough utensils at home - if you don't have enough bowls, you still have a large water glass, so I'll make do with it.
"Let's eat."
"Brother Zhuo Yan, it smells so good. I've swallowed a lot of saliva!"
Aman was very curious about the mushroom soup and wanted to try the fried pork. This was water with numbing tongue! Comparing the two, Aman decided to try the fried meat first. He had eaten mushrooms before!
"How's it going?" Zhuo Yan also reached for the fried meat. It was thick in the palm of his hand and fried golden and crispy. He took a bite because the bacon was a bit burnt. This time, Aman didn't need to answer. His eyes lit up first.
"It's delicious!" Xiao Xian liked it very much. He took another bite and tasted it carefully.
He still liked it very much. "It's delicious!" Just like Aman's drug-induced mushrooms, Xiao Xian didn't feel uncomfortable with the numb tongue. Just eating and playing secretly. Shi Shi doesn't like numb tongue, which is a bit strange, but looking at A Man and Xiao Xian, they still took a piece of meat and took a bite - it
was such a strange feeling.
Shi Shi chewed it carefully. It was crispy and oily, with a faint salty aroma of bacon, mixed with a touch of numbness. There was still some numbness on the tip of his tongue, but it was very light, so he took another bite.
Ah Hui, the big head, chewed too much, and now his cheeks are bulging. Ah Hui has never eaten at Ah Yin's house. Now that he tasted the barbecue, he finally remembered - yes, he wanted to pursue Zhuo Yan before. Because Zhuoyan barbecue is delicious.
But, this time it was really delicious.
"Why is that numb thing only a little bit numb this time?"
A Yin said, "Because my brother diluted it with water and diluted it."
"Smart." Zhuo Yan gave A Yin a look that said, "You understand me."
"My brother is very smart!"
Zhuo Yan: "Low-key and low-key."
The others didn't care about the slimy couple. Everyone ate happily. The meat was a bit dry - it was bacon after all. It had a rich texture and tasted good on the tongue. The numbing aroma of meat is still left, and I take a big sip of mushroom soup.
"Wow, it tastes delicious."
"I told you all before, this mushroom soup is really delicious!" Aman said loudly.
Shitou: "I don't want to have things moving in front of me all the time."
"My grandma said that if you eat too much of this mushroom, you will become stupid." Xiao Xian said.
Therefore, Aman strongly recommended it before, but Shitou Xiaoxian only tasted it once or twice, and then never tried it again - the two of them were afraid. Only Aman was fearless for the sake of delicious food. Now Aman drank the mushroom soup in one breath. He was waiting for the picture to move in front of him. In fact, he was a little scared, "Your mother will really become stupid." " Yes?"
Xiao Xian nodded.
Aman thought to himself, he is not stupid, right?
Zhuo Yan asked everyone to continue eating. Today's dinner was really delicious because of the addition of Sichuan peppercorns. The bacon that was almost boring after eating it all winter became delicious this time. He fell in love with it a little bit again.
Mushroom soup is also the best choice in Oman. The soup cooked with mushrooms and the potatoes are very delicious. Zhuo Yan also took a handful of the grass types that he found today. There are five kinds in total, three of which are It was very unpalatable and could only be grass.
There are two types, one is green leaves, the leaves are thick and sticky, and it tastes sticky when cooked. It is a bit refreshing when paired with delicious mushrooms. He decided to serve this fat leaf as a dish.
The second type has slender leaves with serrated edges on both sides and a relatively long root. This root is delicious and tastes crunchy, a bit like water spinach. It's also a dish.
Everything else is just hasty!
Zhuo Yan told the others, "...I think jagged greens and fat leafy greens are delicious, but the others are unpalatable, so just keep eating them."
"I think so too." Shitou nodded, "I'll go back and eat them later. Pick it out."
"Then let's look for more next time."
"Okay."
Zhuo Yan plans to develop the gentle slope at the entrance of the cave to grow vegetables. Ah Tou and Ah Hui ate so happily that they didn't even bother to talk. However, when Zhuo Yan said that the food was delicious, Ah Hui silently took note of it and planned to find these two delicious ones for grandma next time.
Aman finished two bowls of mushroom soup and ate two slices of barbecue. He kept waiting for the picture to appear in front of him, but it didn't happen.
"Zhuo Yan! There is really no picture today." Aman smiled, "Then I won't become stupid, and I can eat more in the future."
Shitou and Xiaoxian seemed to have just realized, yes, there is no picture. .
After dinner, it was getting dark. Ah Yin took the bucket to the river to wash the dishes. Ah Tou and Ah Hui went down together holding the pot and the slate. Shitou Aman returned the tables and stools to Zhuoyan Cave and put them in place. Yan cleaned up the stove and Xiaoxian swept the floor.
Everyone divided the work and quickly cleaned up.
"We're going back."
"Zhuo Yan, see you
tomorrow." "See you tomorrow."
"Ah Yin, let's go hunting tomorrow!"
"Okay."
Everyone dispersed, and the excitement at the cave entrance calmed down. Zhuo Yan stretched , Ah Yin came back with the chicken, but Yazhu disappeared again. When it got darker again, Zhuo Yan and A Yin went to the river to wash up and sleep.
When Zhuo Yan was brushing his teeth, he held the Bubble Leaf Water in his mouth for a while, and then secretly blushed for some of his little thoughts, but he felt that Shitou and the others were right, don't be too naughty, he obviously meant it. ...
It's just a kiss, it won't last until the end.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Yan was a little happy and excited. A Yin seemed to feel his brother's emotions and turned to look at him. "Brother is secretly happy." He said with certainty.
"A little bit." Zhuo Yan was reserved.
A Yin looked down at his brother, also very happy, "I'm so happy."
"Because the food tonight is delicious?"
"Because my brother is happy, and I am happy too."
Zhuo Yan couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth. He knew that A Yin was not happy. He can tell lies, so telling the truth from the bottom of his heart will make him happy too. The atmosphere between the two changed somewhat and became ambiguous.
"Ah Yin, you asked me before about a sub-orc bathing by the river kissing an orc on the mouth."
Ah Yin's eyes lit up, "Brother, do you want to kiss me on the mouth?"
Why did you rush to answer, and you got it right! Zhuo Yan said, "Can we give it a try? Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes."
Zhuo Yan was a little nervous. It was his first time kissing someone. Ah Yin was taller than him. At this time, he lowered his head. In the middle of the night, , Ah Yin's blue eyes became darker and very attractive. Zhuo Yan held A Yin's cheeks with both hands, raised his head, and kissed her.
Lips and lips touching lightly.
It's a little moist, and has the faint fragrance of bubble leaves.
After they separated, Zhuo Yan's heart was still beating. He looked at Ah Yin, who lowered his head and said, "Brother, that peppercorn is still numb. My head is numb, and so is this place. It's pounding.
" Soon, so did I.
Zhuo Yan was a little shy and hummed, thinking about kissing next time. When they got to the cave, they closed the door, got into bed, and slept under a leather blanket. Ah Yin leaned against her brother gently, turning sideways. Under Zhuo Yan's questioning eyes, Ah Yin stretched out her hands to hold his cheeks.
Just like when he held A Yin's cheek and kissed her on the way back.
Zhuo Yan had a premonition of the next step, his heart was beating fast, he was a little nervous and a little expectant - he was really as innocent as a boy who had never been in love.
The next second, Ah Yin's lips touched his lips and licked them.
Zhuo Yan:! ! !
"You-" He opened his mouth, and the tip of his tongue touched the tip of A Yin's.
Both of them were confused.
Ah Yin's pupils dilated in shock, and she said hurriedly: "I saw this is what the orcs did before. They had to lick it. My brother is so numb. Licking my brother's tongue makes my head feel numb."
"... Do you want to do it again? " Zhuo Yan asked, subconsciously licking his lips.
Ah Yin has already licked it.
The two stumbled into each other's first kiss.
"Brother, do it again?"
"...Then do it again."
They kissed in the cave and then panted. Zhuo Yan's head was like exploding fireworks, getting even hotter. He was really in love! Really, very good!
Kissing Ah Yin is not annoying, and you even enjoy it.
At this moment, Zhuo Yan saw him reflected in A Yin's eyes. The orc was so frank and sincere, without reservation. He finally knew why A Yin firmly said that he liked him, because he could see it.
...But I still didn't do it.
Tonight's kissing was already a breakthrough for Zhuo Yan, a primary school student with experience in love. When he lay down to sleep, he was still very excited. He didn't know what he was happy about, and then he felt furry under the quilt -
"Ah Yin, you have become furry. " No
brother." Ah Yin was also very happy, "The quilt is furry." He reached under the quilt and touched it.
Zhuo Yan suddenly shouted, and A Yin was also stunned.
"I, I, I, I go, it seems... my tail?" Just when Ah Yin touched it, a burst of electricity rushed from his tail vertebrae to his forehead.
Ah Yin touched it again, and Zhuo Yan stammered: "Don't, don't touch it."
"My brother liked the way he screamed just now," Ah Yin said.
Zhuo Yan: That's too sensitive! ! !
"Do I have a tail?" The quilt was lifted, and Zhuo Yan was lying on his side. Now a leopard's furry tail was swinging back and forth, and the tip of the tail was held by Ah Yin. Zhuo Yan: Ahhhhhhh! ! !
He really has a long tail.
"Brother, don't be afraid of tails. We all have them." Ah Yin let go of his hand first, then leaned over and transformed into a leopard shape, hooking his brother's tail with his leopard tail.
Ah ah ah ah don't touch don't touch don't touch. Zhuo Yan couldn't even scream.
Really weird numbing feeling.
Ah Yin let go of his brother's tail. He was a little scared now but it didn't seem like he was afraid. He turned into a human again, hugged his brother and said, "Brother, don't be afraid. Xiao Xian also has furry ears, but he has a tail."
Zhuo Yancai Thinking of the setting of orcs: demi-orcs and orcs are both beasts when they are born. Of course, sub-orcs have the gene of beasts in their bodies, but the secondary differentiation is not successful, and part of the beast's appearance will only be revealed when they are emotional/sensitive.
For example, before, Xiao Xian couldn't control it well at a young age, and his furry ears were exposed when he was excited.
Maybe because he has always been in human form, he didn't expect to grow a tail today. He stretched out his hand and touched it. It felt furry and there was no other strange feeling when he touched it.
"..." When I think about myself being so excited to grow a tail after being kissed, I feel like I'm really on fire, "Then when can I change back?"
Ah Yin shook his head and didn't know, "I'll wait with my brother. "
Okay, don't touch it." Zhuo Yan thought that Xiao Xian would take it back every time.
So the two of them lay on the stone bed and watched the tail change away.
If Ah Yin didn't touch him, Zhuo Yan would change from the charming atmosphere of the kiss to curiosity about his own tail. He waited for about ten minutes, right? The tail really disappeared all of a sudden. After Zhuo Yan touched his butt, it was the feeling of skin.
"It's so magical."
"Brother, can I touch it too?"
Zhuo Yan: ...You can't, I'm afraid I'll change it again later.
Ah Yin was a little disappointed, and the next second Ah Yin said, "I'll sneak around when brother comes out next time."
Zhuo Yan laughed, and Ah Yin also laughed.
"Go to sleep."
"Okay." A Yin pulled the quilt, then hugged her brother to sleep.
Zhuo Yan: ...I have long been accustomed to this way of sleeping. Before I went to bed, I was still thinking that I couldn't kiss Ah Yin outside in the future, otherwise it would be a bit strange to grow a tail in broad daylight.
Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, there was a banging sound in the tribe, which was to summon the orcs. It seemed that the tribe was finally going to resume its normal hunting team.
Ah Yin ran out.
Today the hunting team is going on a long journey and has brought along a group of young orcs: Ah Yin, Ah Tou, Ah Hui and Ri. Zhuo Yan guessed that the tribe wanted to train the young orcs. This year, young orcs might also focus on hunting, but this time they would not be hunting particularly large ones, such as gray elephants, during their long trip.
"You should pay attention to safety and learn more from Daya Asen." Zhuo Yan said.
"I know, brother." Ah Yin hugged his brother, "When you are at home, you have to close the door and hold it up with a wooden stick."
Zhuo Yan nodded, "It's spring now, and the tribe has a patrol team, so don't worry."
Hunting team Let's leave immediately, Ah Yin quickly joined the team after saying that. Zhuo Yan saw the shadow of the team disappearing at the entrance of the forest far away by the river, and then he put his eyes away, and then he did whatever he had to do, he also had work to do.
The grass by the river is growing fast, and I can weave things recently.
We can add more straw mats, brooms, small bed sweeping brooms, and boxes at home. We also need to dry the vegetables we picked yesterday. The pepper tree Ah Yin has been planted.
When it was almost noon, his friend also called him at the foot of the cave entrance.
Zhuo Yan saw Qiao and was stunned for a moment thinking that Ada must have gone hunting too and finally saw Qiao. As soon as they met, Qiao's face was rosy and she was in high spirits. As soon as she saw him looking at her, she immediately took the initiative to say what she was going to do today.
"What did the three of them say?" Zhuo Yan asked with a smile.
Joe blushed.
The other three laughed and laughed. Aman: "We just said we haven't seen Joe for a long time.", Shitou: "Qiao and Ada will definitely have cubs this year.", Xiao Xian: "That's right."
Everyone laughed and laughed . We went to work by the river, and several people shared yesterday's new discoveries with Qiao. The barbecue with peppercorns was delicious, and there were also the jaggery and fat leafy vegetables that Brother Zhuo Yan said. It turns out that green mushrooms are not poisonous if they are cooked for a long time.
"...But the forest we went to yesterday is a bit far away. We'll wait until they come back before we go."
"I don't know if there are any mushrooms left."
"I picked a lot yesterday, Sister Qiao. I'll share some with you later," Zhuo Yan said. .
Qiao was not polite and nodded in agreement.
They cooked mushroom soup at noon. Everyone brought bacon out and exchanged information. Zhuo Yan had quite a lot of bacon in his cave - because he ate fish for more than half a month in the winter, there was some bacon left. By now, the other smokers are almost gone.
"No wonder the hunting team has to go a long way."
"Actually, it's already very late this year." Shitou said, "In the past, the hunting team would go out hunting just after the snow season melted."
Qiao said, "Before the snow season this fall, There will definitely be a lot of prey."
"Definitely, our tribe hasn't gone out to hunt much, even Zhuo Yan is not right," Aman said.
Others, especially Qiao, looked at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan said seriously: "There is one thing, Ah Yin and I are in love." He informed all his good friends.
Several people were curious about what "falling in love" is. They were not surprised when they heard Zhuo Yan talk about the life of a couple without any ceremony. "That's what you are." "Congratulations, Zhuo Yan."
Zhuo Yan: Hehehe, happy. .
In the past few days, the orcs in Tribelia have been making hand-knitting by the river, repairing old rattan baskets and brooms - some of the holes were not added before, but now Zhuo Yan is doing it, and everyone is doing it too.
Three days later, the hunting team came back. Every animal-shaped leopard in the entire fifteen-person hunting team came back carrying a large piece of meat. Ah Yin was mixed in with the team, and his silver fur had been dyed brown.
There was a banging sound in the tribe, this time it was about dividing the meat.
"It's rhino meat."
"So many, two or three?"
"No, it seems to be a particularly big one."
Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket to the square and greeted everyone. A Yin turned into a human form and was talking. Carrying the meat, when he saw Zhuo Yan, he was very happy, "Brother!"
"Are you okay?"
"No!"
Zhuo Yan felt relieved and stopped chatting - because everyone was looking at them, it was just that kind of teasing. He was still a little embarrassed by the young couple's kind smile.
Divide the meat and divide the meat. Zhuo Yan prayed in his heart that his uncle could give him some fat meat. There was no soap in his house. Just after he finished thinking, he heard the patriarch say: "This time, there is some fat meat in the giant rhinoceros beef. Zhuo Yan has made it before." Soap, if you want, you can make some soap like pottery and give some to each hole." "
It's
up to the clan leader."
Everyone has no objection. The orcs also want to take the leaves of the bubble tree with them when hunting. Back, sometimes the orcs forget to get their prey. They saw that Grandma Ada had used the soap and said it was better than bubble leaves.
When Zhuo Yan was doing it by the river last year, they didn't pay much attention to it. Later, the salt team left, and there was no fat meat to go to Zhuo Yan. Moreover, Zhuo Yan was very busy at that time, and the whole tribe wanted to make salt. This time it was better. Now, Zhuo Yan can teach them how to make soap, so they must learn hard.
It's actually better to make soap as a group.
There is more fat, about a hundred pounds. Zhuo Yan talked about the tools he would use: stone pots, plant ash, filters, and clay pots, and made an appointment with the orcs to meet at the river tomorrow.
After that, the meat was divided, each person weighed more than twenty kilograms.
After bringing the meat home to avoid the "bathing peak", Ah Yin first went to the river to wash away the blood. At night, Zhuo Yan took his small sip of soap and followed Ah Yin to the river again.
There is no one left.
That night, Zhuo Yan came home from the river with a furry tail on his head. He sat on Ah Yin's back, in the shape of a beast, and hooked his brother's tail with his tail.
Zhuo Yan: ...lying on A Yin's back with a red face.
Kind of cool.
Chapter 64
: There is still salt in the cave. The sub-orcs who have been idle for a long time are working hard again. They need to make soap. The meat brought back by the hunting team last night still needs to be marinated. They can't finish it. They want to keep some. .
In the morning, everyone gathered around Zhuo Yan by the river and talked about wanting to marinate meat.
"Do you still want to smoke meat?"
"There was so much salt at this time last year that allowed us to preserve the meat."
"It seemed that we could still smoke it now when the weather is not hot."
"I still have more than half of the salt jar in the cave. I still want to marinate the meat. He is hunting outside. I have potatoes, fruits, and meat to eat. I can eat it for at least a few days. "
"I think so too, Zhuo Yan, we want to marinate the meat. We have to go to the big cave to get smoked meat. " Meat sticks? You can go to uncle."
"Actually, it's a bit troublesome..."
Everyone was chattering, and Zhuo Yan understood and said, "If you want to pickle meat individually, bacon is really troublesome. After all, you have to cut down trees. Yesterday, I divided 40 pounds into the cave, and I still have half of it. I also want to store it. I can make bacon and save the bacon."
"Bacon?"
"I made bacon last year, as long as I don't smoke it. Are everything else the same?"
Zhuo Yan: "Yes, stir-fry the fruit leaves with salt, then cut the meat into arm-thick strips without washing it, and then carefully apply the fried salt to the surface of the meat, etc. After applying it, put it in a pot to marinate for three days. After that, it's the same old method, boil a pot of hot water, boil it, take it out and hang it at the entrance of the cave.
"It was because the weather was too cold before the snow season last year. Now that the temperature is high, it will be fine if you hang it in the sun for three to five days. When you eat it, roast it on the outside, wash it with warm water and cut it into slices, stir-fry it with potatoes, and stew it with Dudu fruit soup. "
Everyone heard this . It's very simple - the orcs made bacon together last year. Everyone understood what Zhuo Yan said now and nodded immediately.
Zhuo Yan also said: "If you are afraid that the meat will spoil, you can go back to the cave to marinate the meat first. We can also make soap in the afternoon."
"Is that okay?"
"Yes, there is no rush to make soap." Zhuo Yan affirmed. He thought that he might as well marinate his own meat, "I'll marinate my own meat too."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped refusing. Food was the most important thing.
The sub-orcs left the soap-making tools under the shed and went back to marinate the meat first - it was probably the same in every cave, with a loss of more than ten kilograms and an increase of twenty or thirty kilograms of meat. They only needed to fry the salt and apply the salt on it. Fast. Zhuo Yan also reminded the sub-orcs who were going back that if they met a sub-orc who came to work on the way back, remember to tell them clearly.
"Okay, got it."
"Zhuo Yan, let's go first, see you in the afternoon."
"See you in the afternoon."
Qiao asked Zhuo Yan if she could pickle it together, and Zhuo Yan agreed: "Okay, it's very simple anyway. "
When Xiao Xian heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Zhuo Yan, you can rub sesame on your marinated meat - no, it's Sichuan peppercorns, is this what you rub on it?"
"Wipe it on!" Zhuo Yan also wanted to have more flavor.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xiao Xian ran away, shouting: "Brother Zhuo Yan, I went home to get the meat and marinate it in a while."
"Hahaha, okay, you run slowly, I'll fry the salt first. " "Zhuo Yan shouted, looking at the other partners, "You guys are marinating together?"
Aman and Shitou didn't care at first. They were a little too lazy to go back, but Qiao and Xiaoxian both went back to get the meat, so they looked at each other. Went home too.
Zhuo Yan was frying seasonings at home. He stir-fried the seasonings in a small clay pot with peppercorns, dried pimento leaves, and salt. After he finished doing this, Qiao and his family also came with clay pots in their arms. The Qiao family had about ten kilograms of meat. Xianjia had the most meat, weighing more than thirty kilograms, and he was carrying a rattan basket on his back.
The stone Aman's family also weighs more than ten pounds.
Several people marinated the meat together, wiping every gap in the meat evenly. The ones with less meat came holding the pot. After wiping, let Zhuo Yan take a look. Zhuo Yan nodded and everyone put it in their own pots to wait for the afternoon. After making the soap, bring it back.
Xiao Xian made half a rattan basket, wrapped in leather. His mouth watered when he thought of this kind of numb meat. Zhuo Yan said, "How about I fry some for you at noon?"
"No, no, we'll have roasted potatoes for noon. "I told my mom and dad before that the barbecue you make is very delicious, and my second brother also said it, but they have never tasted Ma Ma's barbecue and can't imagine the taste. "Xiao Xian is special! Happy, "My father and mother will definitely like it."
Zhuo Yan smiled, Xiao Xian really liked the numb taste.
I watched the back and forth all morning, but Zhuo Yan felt that it was only around ten o'clock - because everyone got up too early. Whenever the clan leader arranged some group activities, no one in the entire tribe was lazy, and everyone arrived after six o'clock.
When Zhuo Yan and others took the potatoes down to the river, everyone was indeed there.
Divide the labor and make soap.
His friends had done it for him last year, and they remembered it roughly. He could remember anything he forgot. This time we made soap together, so we didn't pay attention to the appearance. The mold was easier to make. Shi Shi led people to make the mold into long strips, dried them, and cut them into thick square pieces.
The work of refining oil, mixing the plant ash, boiling the bubble leaves and filtering is divided into tasks. The last step is more important and requires the right temperature. Zhuo Yan and Qiao both watched closely, waiting for the water from the plant ash to mix with the bubble leaves and heat it. Slowly pour in the fat, stirring clockwise, and gradually extinguish the heat.
The liquid in the large stone pot gradually thickened.
"You can pour the mold." Zhuo Yan said, "Be careful, don't get burned."
The orc man smiled happily. He thought Zhuo Yan said be careful not to pour it, but he didn't expect that he was afraid of getting burned. He wasn't afraid. But I still held the stone pot with the leather on it and started pouring it into the mold.
On the flat ground by the river, rows of wooden molds were filled with soap liquid.
"After it's dry, just cut it into pieces." Zhuo Yan looked at the amount and saw that it was quite a lot. He estimated that five or six pieces could be divided into each hole - this is not the size of modern laundry soap, because the stone When making molds, I heard him say that you don't need to be meticulous, just do it as convenient as possible, so the soap you make is very generous.
It is larger and thicker than modern laundry soap.
"Everyone has learned that in the future, if there is fat meat in the cave, they can cook it themselves. The fat meat can be refined into oil and can be used for cooking." Zhuo Yan said.
Everyone memorized it and learned how to make soap.
Zhuo Yan is really good.
"When can this be dried?"
Zhuo Yan: "At least we have to wait until tomorrow. There are thirty-four in total, one for each hole, and the clan leader will arrange the extra one. Everyone takes it back now and can cut it by themselves tomorrow, or just first Put it under the shed, we'll cut it up and send it out tomorrow.
"
As a result, everyone said that they would come back tomorrow to cut it, but they were not in a hurry yet and wanted Zhuoyan cut.
"Okay." Zhuo Yan thought to himself that he and A Yin would have to keep an eye on this place that night.
It was getting late, so Qiao and others went to his house to get bacon and went back to their respective homes.
Ah Yin, who was out on patrol, had already returned. Now the humanoid was running home with the pots and pans at home, and went to fetch water. Zhuo Yan saw Ah Yin busy and couldn't help but smile, "I haven't done anything all day. What, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. I ran a long way today." Ah Yin said to his brother: "It turns out our territory is so big."
In addition to the forest on the mountain top and riverside where the tribe lives, the larger territory is the usual hunting range, and there are some In a remote place where there was no prey but only stones, the orcs in the clan ran away with the young orcs.
"Brother, I also chewed a lot of grass, and it's so unpalatable."
Zhuo Yan immediately held A Yin's cheeks. He wanted to see if A Yin didn't get poisoned by eating the wrong grass. Who knew that he just held A Yin's cheeks, and A Yin She blinked and felt so happy that she leaned over and kissed him.
"..." After being stunned for a second, Zhuo Yan's face felt a little hot when he realized it, "It seems to be okay."
Ah Yin was extremely happy and said, "I'm okay, brother."
Zhuo Yan let go and was held by Ah Yin instead. He kissed his cheek again. Zhuo Yan: ...hehehe, happy.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry, brother." Ah Yin ate nearly twenty kilograms of meat yesterday. Now he is indeed not hungry, but he is very thirsty. He went to get some water, and he also poured some water for his brother.
Zhuo Yan was too lazy to cook, so he had roasted Dudu fruit for dinner - a more convenient and quick method: open a small opening in the Dudu fruit shell to allow the gas to escape, otherwise it would explode when roasted and the shell would be thrown away. Put it in the stove, roast it and let it cool. Take it out and gently break the shell. The Dudu pulp inside has the texture of grilled rice cake and is softer.
It's so convenient that you don't have to wash the dishes after eating.
After Zhuo Yan finished eating, it was getting dark, and his tooth pig finally came back. His skin and flesh were covered with blood marks, as if he had been scratched by something. When he came back, he rubbed his legs, but A Yin was watching from the side, leaving his legs. Half a step away, Yazhu froze and then fell to the ground.
"Who were you bullied by?" Zhuo Yan asked.
Ah Yin stepped forward and took a sniff, and said, "There is no smell of other animals, it's all the smell of tooth pigs."
"Did other tooth pigs scratch you?" Zhuo Yan took a look and saw that his tooth pig's butt and head were covered with blood marks, and there were Bite marks. Yazhu hummed, not bleeding much, and the wound had solidified.
"Brother, he must have gone to find other tooth pigs to mate. He couldn't beat them and came back."
Zhuo Yan: ...
then he deserves to be beaten.
"This kind of thing depends on your own will."
However, in the animal world, it depends on strength. The tooth pigs also go into heat when spring comes. If he hadn't run fast, his life would have been left there.
Zhuo Yan could also guess a little, so after thinking for a moment, he simply said: "How about I cut it for you?"
He remembered that pigs had their eggs cut off or something, which made it easier for them to gain weight and the meat didn't smell fishy. However, I have been raising tooth pigs for more than a year, and spending a snow season together is indeed a bit emotional. So I won't eat them for now, just cut them, so that the tooth pigs can be more peaceful, and don't go out to flirt with other tooth pigs every day. Then she was beaten by her husband.
"Cut it? Brother, where did you cut it?"
Zhuo Yan roughly said, seeing hesitation on A Yin's face for the first time.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, you can't cut me, can you?"
Zhuo Yan:! ! ! What are you thinking? You are different from Yazhu!
"We are a family, what are you thinking about."
The next second, I saw Ah Yin proudly saying to Yazhu: "I am different from you, brother, you can cut it off."
"That won't be decided so quickly, Wan If I don't do it right, it will be gone. "Zhuo Yan doesn't know how to do this yet, he was just chatting.
Wash up that day and go back to the cave to sleep.
The two of them were lying on the bed, and Ah Yin said, "Brother, I saw a male deer and a female deer mating before when I was hunting."
"???" Why are we talking about this topic.
It was indeed spring, and not only were the animals restless, but so were the topics he and Ah Yin were talking about.
Ah Yin's extremely handsome face said frankly: "Brother, I need to use my snow season."
? Zhuo Yan reacted and understood what was needed. His whole face turned red. He repeatedly emphasized, "I don't have it, and it's not where I cut it."
"Where is that?" Ah Yin was very curious.
Under the quilt, Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand. A Yin's handsome face was a little excited and a little itchy, until - Zhuo Yan touched it, "Here."
A Yin's ears turned red. Zhuo Yan smiled inwardly and thought to himself, you are just like a prehistoric, simple, stupid orc, and you still learn how to flirt with him, just talk to him about this!
Why did the topic of Yazhu keep chatting from time to time in the evening? Ah Yin knew clearly that he and Yazhu were different, but he brought it up twice. At night, the two of them slept in the same bed and still asked.
This is a boy's first love. When love is on his mind, coupled with the influence of the spring atmosphere, he has to think about and talk about this from time to time. Hum hum, he understands it, because he does it too.
Zhuo Yan looked at Ah Yin's embarrassed face when his little thoughts were known, and smiled in his heart.
The next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Brother."
"I feel it." Zhuo Yan let go.
Ah Yin pestered her brother and wanted to lick him uncomfortably. Zhuo Yan was also a little shy because he wanted to do it too.
...
Finally Zhuo Yan's furry tail came out again.
This spring, the atmosphere in the tribe was restless and sweet, because there was not a shortage of food, there was enough salt, and the orcs and sub-orcs had a lot of boring and leisure time - after making soap, everything was fine again.
Everyone basks in the sun, sleeps in a hole with their partner, or goes to the river to chat. At night, there are orcs and sub-orcs in the long river a few meters away, even at night - Zhuo Yan and A Yin discovered them, they were also in the river. .
Until almost the junction of spring and summer - the locals don't admit that this is summer. Shitou always thinks that the hottest time is summer, while Zhuo Yan thinks this is early summer.
The potato fields on both sides of the river are growing lush and green, and the potatoes will be harvested in more than half a month.
On the gentle slope in front of Zhuo Yan's house, only a small piece of land was opened, mainly for harvesting rapeseed - he didn't know how to harvest seeds from sawgrass and fat leafy vegetables, but he knew about cabbage, so he followed the cabbage method.
Ask Ah Yin to bring back two fresh vegetables from the forest, remove the outermost leaves, and plant the heart of the vegetable in the soil with the roots. This will take a long time. If it can grow and bloom, then there must be rapeseed.
The tooth pig at home finally stopped being restless - let me tell you here that after Zhuo Yan finished talking about the pigs, he and A Yin stayed in bed together for three hours the next day. As soon as the door opened, the tooth pig at home had already disappeared without a trace.
Four or five days later, Yazhu came back. He was injured again and lost a lot of weight. He came back, but he took a detour when he saw him. He used to be afraid of Ah Yin, but now he seems to be afraid of him too.
Zhuo Yan: ...I'm not really going to cut you!
More than half a month has passed, and new cabbage hearts have grown from saw-toothed cabbage and fat-leaf cabbage. Zhuo Yan feels that collecting cabbage seeds is not a big problem. According to the progress of cabbage seeds, it should be possible before the rainy season, so that he can eat fresh cabbage seeds this autumn. The dish is ready.
Great, two more dishes have been added to his diet menu.
Shitou and the others always knew what he was doing. When he heard about his progress, Qiao was very envious and said that he would have planted it with him if he had known better.
"It's okay. I'll give you some when I harvest the rapeseed." Zhuo Yan said. His small vegetable plot, which is dedicated to harvesting rapeseeds, is quite large, enough for his friends to share.
With his words, Qiao and others said that they would leave the work in the fields to them.
"Hey, don't worry, I'll definitely call you if I need to work." The main reason is that the work in this small vegetable field is not very heavy. He and A Yin worked until the gastrodia darken in the evening, then left them alone and let them grow freely.
Not ten days after Zhuo Yan finished saying this, two kinds of vegetables in his rapeseed field were split and grew horizontally, and the small yellow flowers emerging from the cabbage hearts were a little staggered, so Zhuo Yan called his friends to help with the rapeseeds.
"Small wooden strips are stuck in the ground. It is best to let these cauliflowers go upwards and the bifurcated cauliflower strips come together so that the rapeseeds can be collected. Otherwise, they will grow bigger and bigger, and they will hang down on the ground and the rapeseeds will fall out. "
Zhuo Yan showed the small wooden trunks and how to tie them. After a few people saw them, they went to work in the fields.
The other sub-orcs in the tribe saw it. Because it was at the entrance of Zhuo Yan's cave and there was no invitation, the sub-orcs still didn't go there. However, when Zhuo Yan and the others went to the river, someone asked them what they were doing.
"I'm collecting some rapeseeds. I don't know if I can succeed in doing it for the first time."
"Rapeseeds?"
"What kind of vegetables?"
Ah Hui's grandma knew, and now she was a little excited to answer: "Is it sawtooth vegetables and fat leaves? Vegetables? In the spring, Ah Hui brought some to me, saying that Zhuo Yan said it was delicious.
"I used it to make soup with bacon, so it wouldn't be salty. He also brought me green mushrooms and told me to cook them ." After a while, there will be no messy things in front of my eyes..."
"Ever since Ah Hui played with Ah Yin and the others, he would bring vegetables and mushrooms back to the cave. "
In the past, he was an orc and didn't care what the orcs liked to eat. Unexpectedly, it's better now. I think he will have a sub-orc partner before the snow season or next year."
In the past, Zhuo Yan would have thought after hearing these words: Ah Hui's grandmother was quite worried about her son's marriage. It was simply prehistoric . The orc version urges marriage. And now after listening to it, he only had one thought: Ah Hui, you are not young anymore. Don't stay in your parents' cave to eat and live with your parents all the time. It's very annoying. Hurry up and find a partner to build a cave together and live your own life.
"Actually, those two dishes are named after me. You must have seen them. I will take you to see them... They are weeds in the forest. Sometimes I feel tired after eating too much meat. It tastes better when paired with potatoes and vegetables... ..." Zhuo Yan led everyone up the gentle slope.
When everyone took a look, they knew what it was and had indeed seen it before.
"Can it be eaten?", "I've never eaten it before.", "I've eaten some that taste astringent, a bit bitter, and not delicious.", "This big leaf is a bit sticky.", "Ama Hui , does it taste good when cooked?" "How to cook it?"
Everyone asked. Ah Hui's mother had forgotten the taste, but it was indeed delicious. She looked at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan answered everyone, "vegetables are definitely different from meat. Some like it and some don't. Both are more delicious when cooked with grass, so I call them vegetables."
"You can make soup and stir-fry with oil. You can also blanch it in hot water and cool it in cold water, add some salt and let it cool..."
Seeing that everyone was eager to try it, he explained: "It is also my first time to collect rapeseed for these two dishes. I was not sure before. There can't be rapeseed, so I didn't tell you, but if you like it, after this batch is collected, I will teach you how to make the next batch."
"There is an easier way. The orcs at home can go to the forest to find it. , If you pay more attention to the blossoms, if the flowers fail, there will be seeds.
"But most of the rapeseeds in the forest have fallen to the ground, so we need to be more diligent and collect them carefully."
After hearing this, everyone thought . Go to the forest to have a try, and some are not in a hurry to wait for Zhuo Yan to teach them. Anyway, everyone has memorized this wild vegetable. The orcs still like to eat food other than meat, such as berries, potatoes, and dudu fruits. .
In the next ten days or so, some orcs did go to the forest with their friends on their backs to see the wild vegetables, but the wild vegetables had not yet bloomed, so they forgot about it after a few days.
A few days before the potato harvest, another long hunting trip brought back a lot of meat.
The clan leader said: "Zhuo Yan, thanks for your hard work and taking everyone to dry the meat into bacon. In the days to come, half of the orcs will go to the mammoth fields to get salt mud, and some of the orcs will stay to patrol and collect potatoes with the sub-orcs..."
"I know. " "
This time the prey was reindeer and rhinoceros, and everyone got a lot of meat, about thirty or forty pounds each. Zhuo Yan and others started making bacon - it was more convenient in the hot weather.
He also changed out of his little leather skirt and started wearing summer clothes. It was really too hot working in the kiln factory. This time there was a lot of meat, so we cooked it together. The orcs who made the bacon last year moved it out of the big hole. After splicing it together, the orcs began to marinate the meat.
The uncle took out half a basket of salt from the big hole.
It took five days to stir-fry, apply salt, pickle, and dry the meat. The meat was hung on the pole. Now that the temperature is high, it can be taken back in three days.
This year's salt collection team set off, and A Yin was among them.
Zhuo Yan's skin has become tanned due to work these days, but Ah Yin's skin remains cold and white no matter how much he works or tans. Standing next to Ah Yin, he looks a bit whiter and darker - of course he is not that white. black.
Just wheat yellow.
"Go early and come back early, safety first." Zhuo Yan said.
Ah Yin raised his face, Zhuo Yan couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hold Ah Yin's cheek. Ah Yin was very happy. If he were in the animal shape, he would be in the tail propeller state, because Zhuo Yan was holding Ah Yin's cheek when he kissed her for the first timeââ This led Ah Yin to think that this was a code for the two of them to kiss.
Not...very dark, almost explicit.
The two were kissing. It was hot and their faces were red.
"Brother, I'm leaving."
"Okay."
Zhuo Yan still has to work. The potatoes in the field are ripe. There are really a lot of them this time! This thing seems to grow like a flood, and the land is rich in nutrients, so you can harvest a lot of it regardless of whether you care about it.
The clan leader led the team to set off.
Fortunately, half of the orcs were left in the tribe, and the orcs were still very strong. They started digging potatoes, which were almost piled into a hill. The uncle loaded baskets, one basket in each hole, and distributed the first round before giving out the second round.
The uncle said, "If there is a shortage of potatoes from someone else, the autumn potatoes will be sent first." There
were too many potatoes this time, and no one cared about it and listened to the uncle's arrangement. And Zhuo Yan discovered that the last list was the uncle's and the clan leader's family, followed by the big cave, and some older orcs in the cave.
Different from the modern respect for the old and love for the young, in the tribe, the food is given to the young and strong orcs and sub-orcs first. If there is extra, the young ones are taken care of first, and the old ones come last anyway.
The old man also tacitly appreciated this arrangement.
The two old men from last year are still here and working this year. They were old and thought they would all die during the snow season last year, but they were not expected to be alive...
"There will be a lot of cubs in the tribe this year."
"Yes."
" The Leopard People are getting better and better. "
Shitou's father and Aman's mother are very pregnant and are about to give birth.
After harvesting potatoes in three days, Zhuo Yan's family harvested six baskets! Six baskets! There is definitely no problem if you eat it for two or three months - there is only the problem of sprouting and rotting.
However, the climate here is dry, plus sleeping in caves makes it cooler, and fewer potatoes rot.
The bacon dried by the river can also be taken back. The sub-orcs teamed up and carried food on their backs. They all said: "The last time I was so practical was when I was carrying bacon." Potatoes.", "You have to eat it quickly." "I didn't expect that we wouldn't be able to finish the food."
"...It's so good!"
Zhuo Yan asked his uncle about some smashed potatoes in the field. If no one wanted them, he put them away and went home to feed the pigs and chickens. Maybe it was a good harvest, and the uncle was in a good mood. He actually smiled and said, "I know about the little animals you raise. You can take them."
Zhuo Yan was the first sub-orc in the tribe to keep pets.
Although someone asked curiously before, Zhuo Yan and his friends all said that if there is not enough food, they will eat it. As a result, his tooth pig has lived since last year and looks fat and strong, but Zhuo Yan still did not kill it. eat.
So the whole tribe was talking about Zhuo Yan's little hobby: he likes to pick up things.
The biggest one is of course Zhuo Yan's friend A Yin. There are also some grasses and mushrooms scattered around. There are chickens and pigs outside. Everyone in the tribe knows Zhuo Yan's little animals, even the naughty little orcs. Parents have warned not to touch Zhuoyan's animals.
Everyone... although they didn't understand Zhuo Yan raising animals, they were still very cooperative and didn't bother them. Therefore, chickens and tusked pigs can roam freely in the tribe every day, and they can still go to the cave safely every day without any damage.
Because Zhuo Yan was very capable and taught them how to grow potatoes, salt, soap, bacon, etc., they were willing to tolerate the small animals raised by Zhuo Yan.
Just say for now, pile up the potatoes you eat and put the ones eaten by the tooth pig at the door.
Zhuo Yan didn't even have time to rest. The orcs carried the wooden tree tube that was dried in the salt in the big cave to the river. This tree tube had been dried in the sun, and it had been left there for a year. At this time, there was no mold or moss inside, so it was washed in the sun. Clean and dry.
They have to prepare for the salt drying when the salt fetching team comes back.
In the evening of the same day, the fifteen-person salt collection team returned safely. Each orc carried two large bags of mud. After returning, the clan leader told Zhuo Yan to arrange for the salt to be dried tomorrow, and the second team continued to set off.
Everyone follows the arrangements.
When the people dispersed, the clan leader stopped Zhuo Yan and said with certainty: "The werewolves and tiger clans are coming, and we were drying salt at that time."
Zhuo Yan misunderstood and thought he wanted to keep it a secret, but he didn't think the clan leader looked like it. .
"If we keep it a secret, it will be okay for a year or two. As time goes by, the tiger tribe and the werewolf tribe will become curious and come to test it, and there will always be conflicts and bloodshed." The patriarch said.
Actually, yes, it can't be kept secret at all.
"We will exchange salt with them peacefully. If they want to do it themselves, they can do it themselves. When our tribe becomes stronger, no one will be afraid of it."
Rather than hiding it secretly to attract the other two tribes to make secret moves, it is better to open it up and the Mammoth Salt Mine will be No one can move there, they occupy a convenient location, and the two tribes take the salt and mud with them. Why not pay them some hard work and take away more white salt.
All three parties are friendly.
Under this, the Leopard People will have no shortage of food and fur. If they rest and recuperate for a few years, their population will flourish. In short: let's all get better together.
"I understand, Patriarch. If they come, we will entertain them well."
The Patriarch nodded, very satisfied.
The second salt exchange team set off. At the same time, the werewolves brought a large amount of skins, dried fruits, bone knives, etc. In the past, at this time, the werewolves were heading towards the Feathered Market, but at this time, the werewolves were heading towards The Leopard People are coming.
There is also the Khajiit tribe far to the northeast, which has been setting off for three days.
They are all heading towards the Leopard People.
Chapter 65
Ah Yin did not go this time and stayed in the tribe to guard.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Zhuo Yan took the sub-orcs to filter the salt solution under the shed. However, the shed was too small, and some sub-orcs were busy working in the shade of the trees.
Zhuo Yan wanted to build another shed next to the shed, but before he could say anything, this morning, Ah Yin said that he was going to chop wood with Ah Hui and Ah Tou.
"?"
"Brother, the shed is a bit small. You are standing outside in the sun, your face is red and you are sweating a lot." A Yin said.
Zhuo Yan:! All of a sudden he got up.
"We really have a good understanding of each other -"
Ah Yin tilted his head and didn't understand. Zhuo Yan reached out to hold Ah Yin's cheek. Ah Yin understood that his brother wanted to kiss him, so he kissed him. Zhuo Yan hehe, "I mean, we want to go together. I also want to build a shed next to it. The tribe will see more and more people, and the amount of work will be heavy by then. Two sheds are good."
"Then ." I'm going today! Brother." Ah Yin couldn't hold back, and held her brother's cheek with her backhand, and kissed her hard this time. Her brother said this was called kissing, but it was just a kiss.
He likes kissing.
My brother's legs are a little weak. Ah Yin wanted to touch her brother's butt with one hand to see if he had a tail. It turned out that it was okay that he didn't touch it, but he came out after touching his tail.
Zhuo Yan:! ! ! ! Ahhhhhhh.
Why are you touching my butt?
The last two people, Ah Yin, were 'driven' to the entrance of the cave, and Zhuo Yan calmed his furry tail on the stone bed, because someone would go to work soon - and sure enough, Zhuo Yan vaguely heard someone calling him.
Ah Yin ran out and shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, my brother has something to do."
"Okay."
"What's going on with Brother Zhuo Yan this morning?" Xiao Xian was curious.
"It's not like he's still sleeping with Ah Yin." A Man guessed.
"Ah Yin is talking at the entrance of the cave." The stone hit him with one blow.
Qiao looked at the other three people funny and said, let's go first. Xiao Xian: "Qiao, aren't you curious?"
Aman: "Qiao must have been sticky with Ada before, so he has experience and won't be as curious as you."
Shitou nodded.
Qiao: "...Then you squat here and wait for Zhuo Yan to come out. He will scold you."
"I understand, I understand. Brother Zhuo Yan calls this anger."
"Angry from shame." Aman already remembered that Zhuo Yan would come out from time to time. Saying weird things.
Qiao's face turned red and he had already left. The other three looked at each other and really felt that Zhuo Yan would get angry and chase them. Shitou thought to himself that although the beating wouldn't hurt, he might as well leave.
At the entrance of the cave, Ah Yin returned happily and reported: "Brother, they are all gone."
"That's good, that's good." Zhuo Yan looked at Ah Yin and said, "You should leave quickly, I feel like I can disappear if you leave."
Ah Yin was a little reluctant and looked at her brother's furry tail again and again.
Zhuo Yan immediately performed: He became angry from shame!
Ah Yin was a little happy. His brother was so good-looking, so he left obediently. He wanted to chop wood to make a shed today. If he finished it early, his brother could use it at noon and it would be cooler.
A few minutes after Ah Yin left, Zhuo Yan's tail disappeared as expected - he was really a head in love. How long has spring passed? Now we can't blame the season.
Zhuo Yan accepted his fate and put on a small leather skirt. After packing his backpack, he hurried downhill to the river. Today he was a little late. Fortunately, uncle and Qiao were all here and had already started to do it - it had been filtered for a day.
Everyone has experience.
The brine that has been filtered three times is poured into the wooden tubes. These two wooden tubes have a very large capacity. Some of the filtered brine that was poured into it yesterday is still the same as nothing. But a little adds up. Today someone sighed: "It seems that there is more."
"You can see it . "It's water."
There are people guarding it at night. Sun salt filtration is simple to operate, but it is more labor-intensive and needs to be watched all the time, especially during the second and third filtration. It drips very slowly, basically every half an hour. A scoop of salt water means that you can't sleep all night, but it's okay to sleep later.
The orcs of the tribe are very hard-working. Although Zhuo Yan said that there is no mistake in not following the next, and there is nothing wrong with being late, everyone still squats in front of the filter barrel conscientiously. So Zhuo Yan arranged a night shift of five groups - excluding the elderly and young children, sub-orcs who had children at home who needed to be taken care of.
Father Shitou and Grandma Aman had a baby. Shitou gained two more younger brothers and sisters, and Aman gained three more brothers, younger brothers, younger brothers.
Aman's face was ugly at that time, because his current orc brother was very naughty, and Aman didn't like to take him out to play with. Zhuo Yan looked at Aman's ugly face and thought, you introduced your naughty little brother to me, you were trying to 'hurt me'!
Having said that, Zhuo Yan can take turns sleeping with this arrangement.
More than two hours later, as the sun became hotter, Ah Yin came back with Ah Hui and Ah Tou carrying the thin tree. Zhuo Yan said: "You repair the wood first by the river, not next to the shed, otherwise the dust, branches and leaves will fly everywhere."
"I know, brother!" Ah Yin happily carried the tree to the river.
The three orcs removed the branches. The thick roots were used as the four corner support pillars of the shed, and the thin ones were used as the top. They trimmed and trimmed the branches. Ah Yin collected the processed branches and exposed them to the side.
"Do you want it? You can take this back as firewood." Ah Yin asked the two of them.
Ah Tou shook his head no, he still had it at home. Ah Hui said: "I asked you why you bothered to drag the whole tree back and cut it down there."
"This is a waste of branches." Ah Yin said, a little proud, "My brother I said, don't waste it."
Ah Hui: It's your brother again, is it really that good to be a partner?
Zhuo Yan kept watching the situation by the river. When Ah Yin and the others were almost finished, he said to the orcs on the side of the filter barrel: "Let's move to the shade of the tree to work first, and let Ah Yin build the shed next door."
Otherwise . Digging holes is really dusty.
"Okay."
"Zhuo Yan, you are so meticulous in everything you do."
"Actually, my friend has said before that we don't need to use snow-white salt, and we can filter it less. The salt we bought at the Yuren Market in the past was dusty. , and the stones are all edible."
Everyone looked over. The young sub-orc said with a smile: "I just said, Yuren Market is so bullying, what we have to do now is to do it very well, it is better than the salt in Yuren Market, and even if it requires less filtering, it is not more Save trouble."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"And I heard that when we sent it to the Werewolf Tribe and the Tiger Tribe, they didn't believe it at first. Our salt was better than the one from the Feathered Market. , How wonderful, I feel very happy when I think about it. "
"Yes! I don't feel troublesome, and I'm not tired at all. We can still chat at night, and it's very cool."
Zhuo Yan understood. It doesn't matter how rough the salt is, how white it is, but the sub-orc people are more interested in "not steaming the steamed buns to fight for breath". When it is mentioned that it is better than the salt in the Feather Market, everyone is very proud and happy, even "can handle it casually" The orcs were speechless when they heard that it was better than the Yuren Market.
Everyone has to compete with Yuren Market.
He saw that everyone was very interested in this, so he said: "The werewolf tribe and tiger tribe should come to our tribe soon."
"Really? Zhuo Yan!"
Zhuo Yan nodded, this is not a secret, "the tribe leader said before leaving Yes, let's entertain each other well. The two tribes should have come in exchange for salt."
"Wow!"
"So we have been working overtime recently - we have to work at night. We are the only tribe who eats salt, so we are not in a hurry." It can be done before the rainy season, which is at least two and a half months away.
The sub-orcs became energetic all of a sudden, talking about what werewolves and werewolves looked like. Some of them had seen them in the Feathered Market before and described them.
"Does our Leopard Man tribe have a market?" Xiao Xian's eyes were bright. He felt that having a market was a very honorable thing.
Zhuo Yan: "This is the first year. After that... I think our salt is better and more discounted than that of Yuren Market, so you must come to our tribe."
"Wow!"
"Our salt is definitely better than that of Yuren Market. "It's good."
Zhuo Yan also affirmed: "Of course, we work carefully, and the salt is white without pebbles. We are not like the Yuren Market who randomly set high prices - three skins are not enough. We need five or six."
Everyone was very proud and happy when they heard it, and they were full of energy.
Zhuo Yan did not praise the Clan orcs politely. He felt from the bottom of his heart that everyone was very good. They worked two shifts during the day and night on a hot day. They were not lazy at work and were very diligent. They brought their own lunch and took a bite when they were hungry.
It was he who arranged for a nap break, brought his own straw mats, and organized the team into shifts so that they could proceed in an orderly manner and everyone could rest to prevent anyone from getting exhausted due to heat stroke.
At noon, Ah Yin and others built a shed, and the uncle found Zhuo Yan.
"The werewolves live in caves like us, but their caves are much bigger. The tiger people live in wooden houses."
Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up when he heard about the wooden house. The tiger people are so smart, how can they build a house? But he didn't ask, waiting for the uncle to continue.
"It's too late to dig holes now, and I don't know if the two tribes will come in the future. I have discussed with the clan leader to settle the tiger tribe in the dense forest. The werewolf tribe is not far away, and there is no rain now. Wait for our first batch When the salt is dried, give it to the two tribes first, they won't be able to stay long," said the uncle.
"The matters for the second year will be discussed this year."
Zhuo Yan understood, "Then do you want me to arrange for Ah Yin to go to the forest to clean up first?"
"That's why I came to you, Zhuo Yan, I'll leave this matter to you as well. Yes." said the uncle.
Zhuo Yan: "Okay, okay." But he doesn't understand. The uncle is also in the tribe, but now it seems that all the work is given to him and arranged by him - the uncle is definitely not lazy and doesn't want to do it.
"The orcs who remain in the tribe are at your disposal. If you need anything else, you can come to me." The uncle said.
Look, the uncle is not lazy, he just lets him do it - maybe he wants to exercise him.
Just like the clan leader started this year, he focused on training young orcs to go hunting.
Zhuo Yan quickly accepted this explanation. There were now eleven orcs left in the tribe. In addition to the three patrolling ones, there were eight others working.
Tomorrow, we will go with the orcs to the dense forest circle to settle the guests.
In the evening of the same day, the new shed was built, and the horizontal wooden tube was already half filled with salt water. Zhuo Yan had arranged for the five-person team for tonight's night shift, and the others were asked to return to the cave early to rest. The orcs also arranged for eight people to go to the dense forest tomorrow to check on the situation.
It can't be too close to their tribe, nor too far away - mainly for the convenience of guests' access to water. Zhuo Yan actually already had a rough idea of ââthe location in his head. They had just gone to the dense forest to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables some time ago, so they were quite familiar with the location there.
Early the next morning, the orcs had gathered by the river and were waiting. Zhuo Yan sat on A Yin's back and said let's go. Leading a group of orcs and beasts, they rushed out of the tribe.
The uncle looked away, his eyes full of satisfaction, and said to the sub-orcs who were keeping watch last night: "Go back and rest. If you have slept well, if you feel bored, you can come over in the afternoon."
"Got it!"
"We're leaving first. "
The five sub-orcs left together, and when they were far away, they dared to say: "Uncle is so friendly now", "I'm not afraid of Uncle anymore", "Zhuo Yan is so majestic. What are you doing with A Yin and the orcs? "
"I know! Zhuo Yan said yesterday that the tiger tribe and the werewolf tribe were coming. Are you looking for a place for them to rest? "
" We must
have a group of leopard men ." There are also werewolves and tigers coming."
"What do they look like?"
"I know, I went there a year ago. The tigers are stronger and have a big temper. The werewolves are similar to us, no, the werewolves are like A. It looks like silver, and the eyes are blue and green. "
The werewolf tribe is closest to the leopard tribe. This time, the werewolves set off in large and small packages. Unlike going to the feathered market, the journey is far away - at least more than a month's journey to the leopard tribe. The human tribe only needs half a month.
Xiao Wo has just grown up this year. He went to the Yuren Market with his father and mother when he first went there. It was very fun. He only went there once. Later, his father and mother disappeared. He became a lone wolf and lived in a big cave. , protected by the tribe.
This year I am going to the Leopard Clan. Xiao Wo was the first to raise his hand, he also wants to go. When everyone looked at him, Xiao Wo mustered up his courage and said, "I saw Ake and Ah Meng come to deliver salt before the snow season last year. I want to see them again."
"You don't have an adult to lead the way, Xiao Wo. "
Xiao Wo: "I'm an adult."
The clan leader said with a smile, "Okay, it's very close to the Leopard People this year, Xiao Wo can do it."
In the past, when going to the Yuren Market, the werewolves would bring their families, mainly with them. When the cubs go out to see the world and play, the werewolves set out in groups. If the cubs are tired from running, the orcs will carry the cubs and their partners on their backs, so most of them take the cubs with them, but the underage orcs who are seventeen or eighteen years old do not like them. Take it out.
Because of the hot weather, they had to cross the mainland's grasslands, hillsides, forests and rivers. The journey took too long, and they were afraid that the orcs, who were about to reach adulthood, would be exhausted or be curious along the way and fall behind and be in danger.
This year is different. They are going to the Leopard People, which is very close.
Xiao Wo was very happy. He went back to the cave - he lived in the big cave of the tribe. He found his own leather bed, packed his things, tied them loosely, and then turned into an animal shape. Sometimes it was too tight, sometimes it was too tight. It was so loose, it took me several times to get it just right.
In this way, no matter whether he changes into human or animal form on the way, he doesn't have to bother the tribesmen to help him.
Seeing this, the elders in the clan smiled lovingly and said, "Xiao Wo, everyone will be willing to help you tie the leather."
"Grandma, I can do it myself." Xiao Wo said happily.
"Xiao Wo has grown up."
"Grandma, aren't you going to the Leopard People?"
"I'm not going. I'm old. I don't want to trouble the young orcs in the tribe to carry me. Besides, the Leopard People are very similar to us. Live in a cave, eat barbecue, mud beans, and wear skins. Go ahead. The Leopard People are different from the Feather People. Don't be too disappointed. "Grandma was afraid that Xiao Wo would think the Leopard People were boring. Xiao Wo's parents were still there before. At that time, he took Xiao Wo to the Yuren Clan.
The feathered people are much more fun.
Xiao Wo said: "I know grandma, but no matter how fresh the Feather people are, they require a lot of salt, I still prefer the Leopard people."
"Good boy, you are right, when you grow up, you will not only go to Just for fun." Grandma said happily.
This time when we went to the Leopard Clan team, almost all the werewolf elders gave the cubs 'vaccination', and they didn't even want to take the cubs there - after all, there was nothing fun, but some people felt that the journey was short, so they carried the cubs out to meet them. Other tribes just told them in advance not to cause trouble. The leopards were just like us, they had nothing to play with.
The clan leader led the team to set off. There were quite a lot of people going this time, a total of forty-four people - young and old, as well as orcs and their elderly grandmother and father.
They ran for fifteen days. On this day, the werewolf clan leader looked at the grassland in front of him and said, "We're almost there."
"Ah? Are we here?!"
"It's so close."
The clan leader said, "We've arrived at the leopard ." Human hunting territory."
The experienced orcs all smelled the faint mark. Only the young cubs and sub-orcs did not smell it. The orcs said: "Maybe we will see the leopard tribe in a day or two."
The large group set off. , this time the werewolf leader did not rush on his way.
On the seventeenth day, the Leopard Clan patrolled Dian, Asen, and Yuâthe second batch of salt extraction teams had returned five days earlier. The three of them patrolled, and Yu discovered it first, "It seems like someone is here!"
"It's the werewolf tribe." Dian confirmed.
Asen said: "I will inform the tribe. Dian, you and Yu will take them to the woods to settle down first."
"I know."
Asen and Dian went their separate ways, while young Yu was a little excited. The werewolves were really coming, so he ran After the electric shock, he came forward.
The two parties met, and the werewolf leader roared a few times and explained the situation. The lightning also roared: The Leopard People welcome the Werewolves, please follow me. We don't have time to dig holes this year, so we should go to the forest to rest first.
The leader of the werewolf tribe understood that there were fewer leopard men than they did. Besides, as long as they could get salt, they could live anywhere for a few nights. In the past, when they were on their way to the Feathered Market, they would sleep wherever they went.
Everyone was well prepared when they came - as long as there is salt, other differences are fine. The group of people followed the leopard orcs to the forest. It was not far away. After running for a while, they arrived. From a distance, they saw that the forest seemed to have been tidied up.
This was done by the orcs in the Zhuoyan belt in the past. It was a large campsite of about 200 square meters. Not only did they hoe the weeds on the ground, but they also dug it 15 centimeters deep, compacted it, and brought stones from the river to spread it over. The yellow mud is mixed with grass and tamped down, and the ground is baked with firewood to drive away the cold.
It is surrounded by a low yellow mud wall made of wooden boards. The overall shape is concave. The wall is not high and is about thigh height. It is more convenient to top because the wall is surrounded by trees. The entire top is connected to the ready-made trees with vines. , and then just put it on the big leaves.
Anyway...it hasn't rained recently.
There is a wall that creates a sense of belonging: this is where the werewolves sleep.
The same style as the Khajiit tribe.
There is a 'yard' outside the sleeping camp, where an earthen stove has been set up, which is the area where the werewolves can move.
"Is this where we want to rest?" The patriarch turned into an orc.
Dian also walked out of the woods wrapped in leather and said, "Yes, there is a river ahead through the woods."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
The cub mates of the werewolf tribe had already jumped onto the platform, There are little cubs whining. Mom, mom, dad, come and see. The ground here is slippery, unlike other places.
"The top is made of leaves.", "It's quite strange to tie it up like this.", "The mud is yellow and only half of it is. What is this?"
Yu heard this and hurriedly said: "It's a wall. Zhuo Yan took us to make a wall. , We are not afraid to get out at night."
"It turns out to be the wall."
Although they live in the forest, the werewolves feel the enthusiasm of the leopard people. The place has been tidied up. It is not like sleeping on a haystack in the forest as they imagined, and it is not strange to say.
Until there was a sound.
"Uncle and Zhuo Yan are here with their people!"
The leader of the werewolf tribe looked into the distance. The noisy werewolf tribe quieted down. Everyone looked at where they came from - some orcs and sub-orcs knew that uncle, this was the leader of the leopard tribe. partner, but who is Zhuo Yan?
Judging from the tone of these two orcs, this person is very popular among the Leopard Clan.
He must be a very powerful orc.
Then everyone waited for a while and saw the uncle and a sub-orc standing next to him - it was really a sub-orc. This sub-orc was very young, as if he had just grown up. He was wearing clothes woven from leaves and had very long hair. Short, ear-length, with brown hair that is somewhat blown out. He is thin and has round and bright eyes. He smiles when he sees them.
The orcs and sub-orcs who were secretly watching from the werewolf tribe also smiled unconsciously.
"Uncle, Zhuo Yan!"
It turns out that Zhuo Yan is a sub-orc. The werewolf people couldn't help but think to themselves, a little disappointed. They originally wanted to meet the young and powerful orcs of the leopard people.
The uncle said something to the leader of the werewolf tribe. The leader of the leopard tribe should be back in the evening. He has been busy making salt recently...
The werewolf tribe's eyes lit up when they heard the salt.
"The salt was discovered by Zhuo Yan. His partner A Yin and another orc found it. After bringing it back, it was Zhuo Yan who turned the mud into salt. When our clan leader comes back, if you are curious, you can come and take a look." The uncle said.
The werewolf clan leader was stunned and couldn't believe it: "I, can we go and see it?"
"Yes." The uncle nodded, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask Zhuo Yan."
The clan leader looked at the young sub-orc. Zhuo Yan showed a polite but enthusiastic smile and said: "Hello, leader of the werewolf tribe, you have worked hard on your journey. Later, our tribe will send some things that the werewolf tribe needs to settle here in the past few days."
"Okay, okay." The clan leader nodded and added: "Thank you."
"Then we won't disturb you."
As soon as the Leopard People left, the Werewolf clan exploded, and the clan leader was still a little confused - because just now He was thinking about what the Leopard Man said.
"The Leopard People say salt is mud?", "Can we really see the salt?", "I know the salt. The Leopard People send it in vain. How is the salt made?", "Have you seen it? ? That young sub-orc seems to be very popular among the leopard people." "Even the orcs listen to that Zhuo Yan."
Chief: "Okay, let's settle down first and don't destroy the things of the leopard people."
"I understand, chief. "
Zhuo Yan deliberately left late. About an hour later, he, Shitou, Amanyu, Dian and others took their things to the forest again, carrying some bacon, a basket of potatoes, a straw mat, a large clay pot, Water cups, ceramic bowls, spoons, etc.
Every time the kiln is fired, there will always be some leftovers - these will be sent to the big hole. There were two old men living in the big cave, which was a spacious place. All the skins, salt, wooden boards and wooden frames from the tribal collective were sent to the big cave.
After Zhuo Yan arrived, the werewolves had already settled down. The platform was covered with leather, but it was not enough, so the cubs were allowed to sleep on the leather while the adults slept on the ground - the ground had been burned and there was a layer of stones, so it shouldn't be a problem. Too trendy.
The other goods were piled on both sides of the door in the corner, with orcs sleeping at the door watching.
As soon as Zhuo Yan arrived, the werewolf leader and his partner came out. Zhuo Yan explained his purpose, and the werewolf tribe also saw what the leopard tribe brought.
"You can sleep on the straw mat on the ground, and boil water in a clay pot to cook some food. These potatoes and bacon can barely cope with tonight..."
The werewolf leader asked someone to take it and thanked him again. Zhuo Yan smiled and said that he was not polite, "Everyone have a good rest tonight, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
As soon as Zhuo Yan left, the werewolf tribe gathered around to see what was given. Straw mat, I know how to use this. The sub-orc man spread it on the yellow mud ground and said: "Although it is not a kind of grass, our tribe also has it. We can use grass and vines to weave things, but the leopard people are also very good at weaving."
"Yes. "It's very tight."
"Ceramic pot? This is not what the Leopard Tribe used to exchange for salt at the Featherman Market last year." A werewolf orc discovered it.
The clan leader nodded, "The Eagle Man liked it very much and changed a lot of salt. The Leopard Man clan leader said it was made by Zhuo Yan."
"Zhuo Yan? That's the orc man just now."
"He's really powerful. No wonder there are so many orc men in the Leopard Man Clan. The orcs all obeyed him. "
"Clan leader, how do you use this clay pot?"
Last year, the Leopard Tribe went to the Featherman Market to exchange the clay pot for salt and also explained how to use it. The werewolf clan leader had always been very curious and kept it in mind. At this time, he said: "Put some water in it, just like a stone pot, but it breaks easily and is not as strong as a stone pot."
"That's not very good either.", "I still like it. Our stone pot." "But this pottery pot looks very clean."
The clan leader said, "Don't use these pottery yet, put them aside to prevent them from getting damaged."
"I understand."
That evening, the werewolves had no stove to eat. Taiwan - Because I didn't understand how to use it, I didn't use any pottery. I just made a fire and roasted the beans and bacon.
"That Zhuo Yan said they were potatoes, so I thought it was something, but it turned out to be mud beans."
"But why are there mud beans now? Aren't mud beans only available in autumn?"
"This bacon is delicious when grilled. It's a bit hard and very salty. They have a lot of salt. "I'm envious.
There were also werewolf cubs who were curious about the stove and climbed up to ask their mother why there was a hole here. Then 'dong' the little wolf cub fell into the hole and managed to get its head out of the stove hole. Then it was carried by its parents. He was given a lesson.
No random drilling!
In the evening, the werewolf orcs felt something. The clan leader led the orcs on guard. Soon they found that the leopard clan clan leader had returned with the orcs - they were all in the shape of beasts, carrying heavy leather bags on their backs, and their fur was dirty. Mixed with mud.
"...They came back with mud."
"Is salt really made of mud?"
"Where is the mud?"
The werewolf orcs were curious. The patriarch said: "We will know tomorrow. After eating tonight, go to sleep."
Naturally, there were orcs guarding and patrolling.
"I wonder when the Tiger Tribe will come?"
At this time, the Tiger Tribe also entered the hunting territory of the Leopard Tribe.
Chapter 66
Zhuo Yan is reporting the recent situation to the clan leader. In the past few days, they used the drying method and the boiling method to produce salt faster, and the werewolf and tiger tribes in the forest have temporarily settled down.
The clan leader nodded as he listened.
"Zhuo Yan has worked hard on you during this time." The patriarch said.
Zhuo Yan hurriedly said: "Everyone is working hard together."
The clan leader thought for a moment and said: "We have a rest tonight and wait for the tiger tribe. When they arrive, we will go hunting together. There has been no prey in the tribe recently. Okay. Let's go back with Ah Yin first. "
"Uncle Patriarch, please rest, we're leaving."
Zhuo Yan and Ah Yin walked back to the road. They went out to collect salt mud this year. The leader of the group was afraid that something went wrong. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. It went very well. Ah Yin went there twice and just came back today.
"Are you tired?" Zhuo Yan asked. He knew after asking that it was in vain. Ah Yin didn't want him to worry and would definitely say that he wasn't tired.
really.
Ah Yin said he was not tired.
When we arrived at the river, it was already dark. Zhuo Yan put down his backpack, took the soap, and told Ah Yin to give Ah Yin a bath. When Ah Yin heard this, his ears perked up, and he stood obediently in the river, doing whatever his brother told him to do.
The two of them happily took a bath by the river and felt much cooler.
A Yin looked up and looked in the direction of the forest a hundred meters away. Zhuo Yan noticed it and said, "Are the werewolves and orcs looking at us?"
"No, it's the werewolves and their cubs playing in the water by the river."
Zhuo Yan couldn't help laughing. : "I saw them this afternoon. They all pamper their children together, which is different from our tribe." Although the Leopard People also care about and love their cubs, they have a certain limit - they will only take action when there is danger.
The werewolf tribe is different. A cub feels very close to its elders.
Ah Yin withdrew his gaze, turned into an animal shape, swung the water, and asked his brother to come up. Zhuo Yan sat up with a basket on his back, and Ah Yin ran slowly, with the evening wind bringing a hint of coolness.
"Brother, we don't want the cubs first."
Zhuo Yan: ... Bao, do you know that we are just kissing and there are no cubs!
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want the cub to be alone, like when I was a child, and I don't want my brother to care about and protect the cub." A Yin said distressedly.
Zhuo Yan originally had a smile on his face and wanted to say that he didn't want to have a baby yet and only wanted to fall in love, but after hearing A Yin's last words, he felt a little sad.
Xiao Zhuoyan has been cared for and cared for by his parents, while Ah Yin has grown up eating Dadong rice since he was a child. He is alone and is disliked and driven away wherever he goes.
Zhuo Yan lay on A Yin's back, purring and purring the hair on A Yin's neck.
"Okay." He said, and after saying that, he felt as if he had promised A Yin that he would have cubs in the future. But Zhuo Yan soon became indifferent. The cub was not so easy to bear.
Qiao, who was two years older than him, had been married to Ada for more than a year. The two were inseparable in the spring, let alone the snow season. However, Qiao never got pregnant. Instead, Shitong's father and Aman's mother became pregnant.
Shitou and others have also said before that cubs are not so easy to conceive.
Zhuo Yan feels that orcs and sub-orcs get pregnant relatively lateâat least in young adults.
...That's still early.
Ah Yin became happy, swung his tail, once or twice... and finally touched his brother's back. Zhuo Yan laughed, a little itchy.
And in the forest beside the river.
Just as Zhuo Yan thought, the young orc was taking other cubs from the tribe down to the river to play. He was holding one in each hand with a cub hanging around his neck. He shook off the water and returned it to the resting place of the tribe. .
The parents of the cubs found them and said, "Why did you go out to play in the water?"
The young orc said hurriedly: "I took them there. I don't blame them. I just wanted to play in the water."
The cubs were so happy that they ran back Go to sleep.
The orcs were going to patrol, and Xiao Wo couldn't sleep. He was a little excited and went to the river. He followed the orcs who had just returned from playing in the water - five years older than him. He opened his mouth and called: "Brother Ai Rong."
"Xiao Wo, don't you Are you sleeping?"
"I can't sleep."
Ai Rong moved his buttocks and asked Xiao Wo to sit down and chat together. "I was taking a bath by the river just now, and I saw some orcs and sub-orcs in the leopard tribe taking a bath." "
Really .
"What a good orc he found me from so far away," Ai Rong said with appreciation .
Xiao Wo was a little envious. Brother Ai Rong was one of the bravest orcs in the tribe. The orcs that Brother Ai Rong praised must also be very powerful. Ai Rong patted Xiao Wo on the shoulder to encourage Xiao Wo not to be discouraged.
For a while, neither of them spoke. The forest was quiet at night, and there was a splash of river water in the distance. After a long time, Xiao Wo thought that Brother Ai Rong had fallen asleep, and heard Brother Ai Rong sigh softly.
Xiaowo didn't understand why Brother Ai Rong sighed.
"I always thought that the Leopard People were similar to ours, but I didn't expect..." Ai Rong sighed again mid-sentence.
Xiao Wo understood, but he was optimistic by nature and said, "Brother Ai Rong, the Leopard People are good people. They gave us salt and told us how to make salt. We will become better in the future."
"That's true. "Ai Rong nodded, and he comforted himself that it was okay if they didn't use pottery. Anyway, it's the same with stone pots. Stone pots are more durable and not easy to break.
Thinking about it this way, their werewolf tribe is not bad at all!
The sub-orcs of their tribe can also make straw, so it's nothing.
Early the next morning.
The werewolf clan leader woke up the clansmen, and the leopard clan clan leader and uncle also came over.
"I haven't seen you for a year."
"I saw you came back with the orcs last night."
The Leopard Man clan leader nodded and said, "I have been running to get salt and mud in the past. You are here, and the Tiger Tribe is coming soon. Let's go and take a look first. "See?"
"I didn't expect you to let us see it," the werewolf leader said frankly. He thought he heard it wrong yesterday.
When the Leopard Man Clan Leader saw the other person's expression, he laughed heartily, and the Werewolf Clan Leader also laughed.
"The salt land is very deep and has to be dug out and brought back for cleaning and filtering. It is enough for our tribes to use for many, many years. If I don't tell you, you will be curious and maybe follow up to have a look." The Leopard Man Clan Leader Speaking bluntly.
Before the werewolf leader could say anything, the leopard man leader looked more serious.
"The Leopard people are different from the Eagle people. I hope that the four tribes in the grassland and forest can be prosperous and stable."
With these words, the eyes of the werewolf leader turned red, and the werewolf people behind him even more so. The cubs couldn't understand, but they couldn't understand. The elders later taught: werewolves and leopards are friendly and harmonious.
"Let's go and have a look." The clan leader softened his expression and said with a smile.
The leader of the werewolf clan nodded and asked the two orcs to stay and watch, and the others followed him in.
In the early morning in the tribe by the river, the warm orange sunshine shines on the river, making the waves sparkle and ripple. This is the first time the werewolves have seen the inside of the leopard tribe - they were invited in.
In the river area, there is a large open space where the Leopard People are working. Under the shade of trees and wooden sheds, everyone in the Leopard People looks at them curiously, with friendly expressions and smiles. The cubs of the Leopard People are in the river. while playing.
"This is the salt mud brought back yesterday." The leader of the Leopard People said.
The werewolf looked over.
There were a lot of leather bags piled on the compacted ground. When I opened the bags, I found that the inside was really mud, dry, moist mud that smelled anyway, and some even had some white stones.
It turns out that salt really grows from mud?
The werewolves were curious but did not ask, because they saw Zhuo Yan and the leopard and sub-orcs they saw yesterday spreading the mud and pouring it into wooden barrels, earthenware pots, and stone pots. The werewolves had never seen this barrel before, so they knew it was made of wood, could hold a lot of water, and had a handle. The werewolf sub-orc looked at it a few more times, not knowing how to do this.
Mix a lot of water into the mud, dilute the mud and stir evenly.
In the first two times when collecting salt, the clan leader mostly brought back salt stones. This time he brought back a lot of salt mud and salt stones. Zhuo Yan probably understood what the clan leader meant, so he said at this time: "Stir and boil the salt mud water, and filter out the mud water for the first time. "The dirty things in it."
Zhuo Yan carried the wooden bucket, and another empty stone pot was wrapped with a straw mat. The bucket poured in, and there was a gurgling sound. The bigger dirt was all isolated by the straw mat. Wait a moment. The muddy water in the bucket was filtered, and the straw mat was removed. There was still dark muddy water in the stone pot.
The werewolves knew that the salt given by the leopard man before last year's snow season was very white.
"This is the first filtering, and there will be a second and third filtering." Zhuo Yan saw everyone's doubts and asked everyone to follow him to the kiln. "The two halves of the wooden tube tree contain salt water from the previous drying. Everyone You can take a look."
I stopped work last night and started all over again today - the werewolves have arrived, and I guess the tiger people will be there soon, so I just do it again in front of everyone.
Zhuo Yan deliberately took apart the second layer of filter and showed everyone, "The second filter has four layers."
This time the filtering was much slower.
The werewolves were very patient, squatting or sitting on the ground, and were not afraid of the heat. They were full of energy and stared at Zhuo Yan filtering with wide eyes. Not only Zhuo Yan, but also the sub-orcs of the leopard people were working. For the first time , the second time, they did it very skillfully.
"...Okay." Zhuo Yan poured the salt water for the second time. Dozens of werewolves surrounded him, staring at him with burning eyes and saying nothing. If he hadn't been a blogger before, he would be really embarrassed. !
Now that the second time was over, he breathed a sigh of relief and saw the werewolves - the werewolves stood up and were coming over. Zhuo Yan smiled and took away the filter, revealing the filtered salt water for everyone to see.
"Wow!"
"The water inside is no longer muddy!"
"How did you do it, God? How come it is so much cleaner."
"The muddy water has really become cleaner!"
The werewolf tribe discussed in surprise, but Zhuo Yan didn't Immediately do the third filtration, but after everyone has finished talking, Zhuo Yan carries the bucket to the third-floor filtration station - yes, they all work on the assembly line.
"Brother Zhuo Yan, how are you doing here?" Xiao Xian asked.
"Show everyone the third layer of filter."
Xiao Xian had already heard from Brother Zhuo Yan and prepared an extra filter for the werewolf and tiger man to see, and he would open the filter now.
"Are there stones in it?", "Is it really a stone?", "Are there more stones in the salt?"
Zhuo Yan said: "No, the pebbles are sandwiched in the middle of the filter and should be smaller. For the stones, start with the second layer of four layers of straw mats, with a layer of small stones in between. Then the entire filter is stretched on the stone pot. The weight of the stone filter will sink slightly, and this time the filtering will be very slow. Very slow."
Xiao Xian listened to Brother Zhuo Yan and poured a ladle of salt water into the filter.
The first time everyone could hear the sound of water dripping loudly, the second time it was dripping, and now it was dripping, dripping, dripping, dripping, dripping little by little.
The weather was getting hotter, and Zhuo Yan asked everyone to work in the shade to avoid heat stroke. Aman winked at him crazily, Zhuo Yan: ...he actually understood.
Because Aman's face was full of "You let us work in the shade. Come back and look at those werewolves and sub-orcs and cubs. They are not hot!" '.
He didn't have to look back to feel the glare behind him.
Zhuo Yan called back and said, "You do what you want, I'll take care of it." Aman said, "I'll leave it to you." Shitou and Qiao, one was smiling sullenly, and the other had a smile in his eyes. Thank you, my little friends!
When he turned around, behind him were all the wolf sub-orcs and their cubs.
"The third layer of filtering is very slow. The filtering is finally completed. Come here." Zhuo Yan led the way. The clan leader and uncle took the two tribes of orcs to go hunting. Of course, some of the orcs were left to patrol and look after the house.
The werewolves and sub-orcs all followed him with a roar.
Zhuo Yan led people to the exposed tree tube, "This is made of a big tree, split in two in the middle, and it took a long, long time to dig it out."
The sub-orcs knew that it was very tiring and hard to dig out this tree.
"You see, this is what was done before. The third filtered salt water was poured here. It has been in the sun for two days. The water dried and what was left was the salt." Zhuo Yan said.
The werewolf and sub-orc stretched his head to look, and saw a shallow layer of thick white water under the wooden tube.
"If the sun is not very good, then boil it. The third filtered salt water is poured into the stone pot and boiled. The water is boiled away, leaving only the salt. But now that the weather is hot, it is more convenient to dry the salt. Pour the salt water in and leave it alone. Just dry it in the sun," Zhuo Yan said, taking everyone to the shade of the river.
"What else do you want to ask?"
the slightly older werewolf sub-orc said: "Only your straw braided filter can be used, or ours can also be used?"
"I don't know what yours looks like?" Zhuo Yan was very cautious. answer. I've been traveling back and forth between the two places for a month, and now I don't have a phone call, so I need to make sure it's correct.
"We brought it!", "I'll get it.", "I'll go with you."
A little wolf cub suddenly turned into a ten-year-old naked kid, shouting, "Grandma, I'll get it. "
"There is a river, children, please pay attention to safety." Zhuo Yan said hurriedly. Their tribe had to cross a river to enter and leave there.
The wolf cub said, "I can, I can, I'm not afraid of shallow rivers."
As a result, he was raped by werewolves and sub-orcs. He was not allowed to go there alone, stop making noise, go back and tell your mother, etc. Zhuo Yan: Hahahahahaha.
It's really a child who makes trouble, and the whole clan takes care of it.
The child was full of energy. When he saw Zhuo Yan smiling, he turned into a little wolf cub and squatted in front of Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan: ...It's a bit cute, but don't be itchy.
Wolf cubs really look like puppies.
After a while, the wolf orcs came with the sub-orcs on their backs. The sub-orcs held a very exquisite and beautiful straw woven box in their hands. It was square, very small for the orcs, and it even had a lid on it.
The sub-orc grandma said: "I started to make this last year. I took it apart and made it up again and took it apart again. I thought about it for a long time."
"Grandma originally wanted to take this to the Featherman Market to exchange for salt, because I heard that Yuren likes delicate things very much, so she spent a lot of effort to mess with the tall velvet grass and branch grass in our tribe."
Grandma touched the box and smiled happily, "I know Leopard will come. It might be of no use to exchange the salt with the tribe, but I brought it over anyway."
The Leopard People and their tribe were similar, but Grandma had been compiling it for a long time and was really reluctant to part with it, so she thought that even if she couldn't exchange it for much salt, it would be good to give it to the Leopard People.
Before the snow season last year, the leopard people even gave them tribal salt.
Zhuo Yan sensed the kindness of the other party and took it over to take a look. The box was very well made. The outside was made of thicker branches, as thick as willow branches, and the inside was made of soft straw. The other werewolves and sub-orcs couldn't help but look at it.
"The grass stalks inside are okay, just make them denser."
"Will your grass rot?"
The werewolf and sub-orc were stunned when he asked again. Zhuo Yan said, "Everyone, wait here for me." He couldn't help but go to the grass bank by the river and pull a few grass trees from his tribe. When he ran over, the little wolf cub ran after him.
Zhuo Yan: ...
The little wolf cub ran back with a few grass sticks in his mouth.
Zhuo Yan was amused and took the straw pole and handed it to the werewolf grandma, "Our straw pole looks like this. We don't have to use this kind of straw pole. There are similar or softer ones. It's okay." This straw cannot be picked off and used directly. The salt water drips slowly. If the straw is not tough and soaked in water for a long time, the entire filter will fall apart and break."
Some werewolves and sub-orcs understood, but most of them did. Confused.
Zhuo Yan turned his head and saw the little wolf cub with a straw stick in his mouth. He couldn't help but said: "Please help me run over there and ask for a bowl." The little wolf cub's eyes lit up and he looked at the grandmothers and elders. .
"Go." "Go quickly."
The little wolf cub ran to the kiln. After a while, Aman came over with a big bowl. He wanted to see what Zhuo Yan was doing.
"I'll get you water." Aman went to the river to fill up the water.
Zhuo Yan divided the straw into two parts, put one part in the sun and threw the other part into a bowl. Then he said: "This is how the straw is used in our tribe. Pick it off and arrange it neatly. Soak it in water first, don't soak it in water." Too long."
The werewolves sat quietly in the shade and waited.
...
The Tiger Tribe ran very fast when they saw the Leopard Man's territory. When they were about to arrive, they happened to meet the Leopard Tribe leader and the Werewolf Tribe leader who were out hunting. Everyone in the Tiger Tribe was stunned. The Werewolf Tribe was here too?
But when you think about the enthusiasm of the Leopard People, you can also think of it.
The three clan leaders met and had a conversation. The leader of the Leopard People personally took the Tiger People back to the tribe and settled the Tiger People.
"The werewolf clan is not far away, living in the forest like you." The leader of the Leopard clan said. He found that the tiger people came this time, without the sub-orcs and cubs. They were all orcs carrying things on their backs.
He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.
The Hawarang tribesman of the Tiger tribe took out the leather and handed it to the Leopard tribe leader enthusiastically and heartily, "It's all for you. Thank you for the salt you gave us before the snow season last year, good brother." "
Thank you." said the Leopard tribe leader. : "Don't hurry up, our tribe is making salt, and the sub-orcs from the werewolf tribe have already gone to learn it."
Hawa was stunned, "Can you still learn how to make salt?"
"Yes." The Leopard Man clan leader nodded affirmatively, " They came yesterday, so they went to learn first, and they will do the same when you come."
Unexpectedly, the tiger tribe did not bring the sub-orcs. The clan leader was a little confused again.
Hawa was stunned for a moment, and soon understood. He couldn't help but laugh, but his eyes were a little red when he smiled, and said: "I didn't expect that this time we came to the Leopard Man Tribe, we wanted to finish the salt exchange, and half of the orcs would go back to the tribe to send "Salt, the rest have to go to the Feathered Market."
The leader of the Leopard People frowned, and sure enough -
but the Leopard People couldn't get involved in the feud between the Tiger People and the Eagle People.
Then who will learn?
Hawa, the powerful patriarch, thought for a few seconds, made a decision, and shouted: "Young ones, you can live with your mom and dad in the tribe and watch your mom and dad work, you can do it if you are young." , You need to be dexterous with your handsâ" He felt that something was wrong halfway through his words and couldn't continue.
Anyway, in the end, the Khajiit brought fifty-five orcs, and they randomly selected thirty orcs to learn how to make salt. Thirty orcs: Huh? ah! ah? ? ?
"Ah what! Go!"
So that afternoon, the sun was very bright and hot. Zhuo Yan was chatting with the werewolf sub-orcs under the shade of the trees by the river. After waiting for a long time, he got a little bored. Everyone started chatting, and then they were slightly shocked. ââIt
was like an overwhelming momentum.
Zhuo Yan followed the sound and looked over. In the distance of the river, a group of young and muscular men with naked bodies and big chest muscles, only wrapped in leaves and leather, ran over in groups.
"...?"
"Aman, I think I'm suffering from heatstroke. I'm hallucinating. There are so many breasts - ah, no, so many big breasts."
Aman also opened his mouth and made a sound.
Zhuo Yan didn't wait for an answer for a long time. When he looked at it, he immediately said... "Aman, please wipe your saliva." He forgot that Aman's aesthetics are 'strong and muscular men'.
Aman raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth and wiped his saliva, "There are so many orcs."
These tiger-man orcs have an average height of 1.95 meters, with long hands and feet. They are different from the werewolf face, narrow eyebrows, three-dimensional eyes, deep and mixed-race appearance. , the tiger man actually looks a bit like the leopard man, and the leopard man is more "delicate".
The tiger man has a very upright appearance, with sharply angular mandibles, thick eyebrows and a high nose, and looks very rough. Such a group of muscular and handsome guys came running towards us, and everyone here was frightened.
Ah Yin didn't know when he came back. He stood behind his brother and said, "Brother, the clan leader said that the tiger people did not bring the orcs this time, so they asked my brother to teach the tiger orcs how to make salt."
"..." Zhuo Yan was frightened. For a moment, when did Ah Yin stand behind him?
"Brother, when you watch the tiger-men orcs."
Zhuo Yan: "..." He didn't feel guilty, really, "Aman likes it very much, I just don't know why so many orcs suddenly came out."
Aman heard it, but Aman There was no denying it, his eyes were filled with excitement and joy. These Khajiit orcs were so good-looking, with their arms, legs, and chests.
"There are too many people. Aman, please come and help me teach the tiger orcs in a moment."
Aman:! Good company!
"I know!"
Ah Yin was also happy. Zhuo Yan: I really just looked at the big, muscular man, and I wasn't moved at all.
The tiger-man orcs arrived, and there were thirty of them. Most of them were young - eighteen or nineteen, or early twenties. The oldest one looked about twenty-five or six. Stand in a row here, and the sun Most of them were covered. The werewolf sub-orcs were originally sitting around Zhuo Yan, but now their heads were covered with shadows.
Zhuo Yan comforted the werewolf orcs and asked Don't Be Afraid of the Werewolf orcs to learn how to make salt. He winked at Aman, but Aman didn't look at him at all. Zhuo Yan:...
"Aman, take everyone to see the filtration situation and the state of the recovered salt mud." Zhuo Yan said loudly.
Aman suddenly realized that he agreed and said, "My name is Aman, a sub-orc from the Leopard Man tribe. Come with me." He then said, "By the way, he is Zhuo Yan. He taught our tribe how to make salt."
Hu. The human orcs may have been 'trained' by their clan leader, and now they said in unison: "Hello you." and "We will learn from it."
The voices were loud and deafening.
Zhuo Yan followed him anyway, and before leaving, he said to the werewolf sub-orc: "Wait for me when I come back in a while, and I will teach you how to make a filter." It happened to be a lesson together!
Everyone roared again.
"You can ask Aman and I if you don't understand anything, and you can also ask the working people in our tribe." Zhuo Yan said.
The tiger-men and the orcs spoke in unison. Zhuo Yan was almost shocked because his voice was too loud, but he had a calm smile on his face. Everyone also wanted to work hard to learn how to make salt.
Aman was very happy and took everyone to the first filtering place and started to teach slowly.
However, unlike the werewolves and sub-orcs who often do these jobs, the orcs usually only hunt. It can be seen that these young orcs know nothing about knitting. They will ask all kinds of questions. Aman, who was originally very happy, soon became buzzing. There is a buzzing sound, please call Zhuo Yan for help.
Zhuo Yan: Laughing to death.
Later, Aman said that there were too many orcs and it was very annoying. He didn't even remember what the tiger orcs looked like. It was all about why, how to make them, what grass was, and what mud was.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me take you through it first. I have heard your questions and will answer them one by one." Zhuo Yan began to lead the team.
Aman breathed a sigh of relief, his head was still ringing.
Zhuo Yan took it through it again, and his voice was a little split. After filtering it for the third time, he looked at the tree tube. He saw that the orcs were muttering to themselves and remembering things, and some had forgotten to return them. Ask someone else again.
"It needs to be filtered and filtered three times.", "The first time is a straw mat.", "How many are the second time?", "Three or four?", "What is the third time? "Hey, how about the straw mat, I still don't know."
This is not a dimensionality reduction attack. The orcs are very powerful at hunting, but at this time, some orcs will have very vague memories of simple counting, and they can't remember it. Live.
Zhuo Yan said: "You will stay in our tribe for a few more days. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it at first. Later, our tribe will teach you and the werewolf tribe how to learn it. Repeat it a few times and you will remember it."
"Everyone . Don't worry. "It just so happens that we have captured the young men and they are all free interns.
Zhuo Yan led his team to the foot of the tree again. The tiger-men and orcs gathered around the outside, and the werewolves and sub-orcs sat together. Zhuo Yan was in the middle, and Ah Yin came with a glass of water, "Brother, let it cool down, drink it quickly."
"Thank you." Zhuo Yan's throat was really about to smoke, so he said he didn't see Ah Yin just now, and ran over Brought him water.
What kind of orc with big breasts can't compare to his Ah Yin!
Zhuo Yan finished drinking the water, took out the soaked straw, shook the water, and said: "Just soak it in water for a short time to make it softer. Now it needs to be dried. Don't expose it to the sun."
He took the straw that had been exposed to the sun. The sun was too strong and it was a bit brittle when he first touched it. Not to mention pouring water on it with a bowl of water, the grass section was soon washed away.
"Listen to the tiger orcs too. I will teach you how to weave the filter tomorrow. Now I will teach you how to choose grass and how to prepare the grass in the early stage. You need some soft and tough grass. Pick the grass and soak it in clean water. It doesn't need to be soaked for too long. , it was about the same time that I just taught the Khajiit orcs to study..."
The werewolf orcs listened very carefully, nodding from time to time, as if they were top students, while the werewolf orcs standing in the back row scratched their heads, they all listened, don't know!
What to do!
Chapter 67:
This night, the resting place of the werewolves.
During the day, the orcs hunted a lot of prey, and both the werewolves and tiger-men got their share. At this time, the orcs from both tribes gathered by the river and started roasting along the way. The sub-orcs of the werewolf tribe got some meat and returned to the forest. The grandmother of the tribe saw the stove and a large clay pot.
Today she saw how the Leopard Man used this.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" The young orc came over and asked. Grandma looked at the stove and the clay pot. The young orc man quickly understood and said excitedly: "Do we want to use it? I saw the leopard man used it today."
"You can use it to boil water and make some broth for the cubs. Let's drink." Grandma said.
"I'll collect firewood."
Soon the sub-orcs started burning the stove. They were doing it for the first time. They were a little fussy at first, but it soon started to burn. The fire was very strong. The sub-orcs poured a pot of cold water and put it on it. Put the meat and potatoes into a clean clay pot, and add some salt.
Several people gathered around the stove and looked at the pottery pot on the stove with curiosity.
"The things from the Leopard Tribe look strange but they are quite useful."
"Put the firewood in a round hole so the ash won't be everywhere."
"It's easy to clean if it falls."
"This clay pot is better than a stone The pot is much lighter. It was very light when I fetched water, so I was afraid of breaking it, but it doesn't seem to be that easy to break."
After chatting about the stove for a while, a few people couldn't help but think of working and chatting with the leopard people and sub-orcs during the day, and they all said. : "Zhuo Yan is really smart.", "He is a sub-orc, and he is not afraid of orcs at all.", "Is the person standing behind him his partner?"
A sub-orc whispered: "Zhuo Yan's partner, It's the cub Ami left behind in the Leopard Tribe.
"Ah?"
Ah Mei didn't come this time. They thought she would come - they talked a lot about the Leopard Tribe and prepared things for salt. But when setting off, Ami said she wasn't going, and everyone was confused.
"Didn't I say before that he has never been able to transform."
"Yes, last year I went to the Feathered Market to exchange for salt. The clan leader also heard what the Leopard Man clan leader said. The cub has never been able to transform, but he was lucky enough to be picked up by a sub-orc. Here we are, it turns out it was Zhuo Yan who picked him up.
"He's transformed now. He's very good-looking. His silver hair doesn't look like Amei's. Are there any silver-haired orcs in the Leopard tribe?"
Grandma, who had been listening, fell into memories at this moment. Said: "If I remember correctly, Ami's grandmother was a silver wolf, but silver wolves are not easy to hunt in the forest and disappeared a long time ago."
No wonder.
Everyone thought that they should tell Ami when they go back that her leopard cub has turned into a human form and is living a good life now. The smartest sub-orc in the leopard tribe has become a partner with him, which is great.
"So many people listen to Zhuo Yan."
"I think the Leopard people all like Zhuo Yan."
"These straw mats and pottery pots are all made by Zhuo Yan."
"He is awesome."
Everyone said to Leopard The human race couldn't stop talking to Zhuo Yan. After all, Zhuo Yan led them to work all day today, teaching them how to filter salt and find straw poles to weave filters.
"You can learn to make a filter tomorrow."
"Haha, did you see it? The tiger-man orcs are all confused."
"I saw it, I saw it, I laughed to death."
The werewolf orcs also heard what the sub-orcs said, Several people gathered together to roast the meat. After it was done, they called the wolf cub over and handed over a large bunch, asking the wolf cub to take it to the forest and give a portion to the sub-orcs.
"Are the tigers really orcs learning to make salt?"
"Yes, because the tigers did not bring the sub-orcs this time."
Several werewolves and orcs looked at each other with a smile in each other's eyes. They wanted to inquire. But it wouldn't be good to rush to the tiger man's resting place, so we couldn't help but discuss it. They would also go and have a look tomorrow.
Should tiger orcs learn to knit? Hahahahaha.
A resting place for tiger men.
The orcs brought out this time are the bravest and strongest orcs of the Tiger Tribe. On the way here, Hawa, the leader of the Tiger Tribe, had ambitious plans to go to the Feathered Market to do something big after exchanging salt with the Leopard Tribe.
It is somewhat unsafe to carry an orc cub.
Now Hawa: ...
I don't regret it a little bit, I regret it very much.
Thirty orcs were standing by the river, and Hawa asked how they were doing today. Thirty orcs looked at each other, hesitating and no one said anything. Hawa was silent for a while and said, "Didn't you learn anything?"
"I also learned from the clan leader." The young orc said.
Hawa's encouraging eyes. Young orc: "It needs to be filtered four times." Another person said: "No, it's three times. Four times, is it the second or third time?", "Does it need four times for the third time?", "What four times?" Not twice?"
Thirty orcs started arguing, arguing about how many times.
Hawa: ...Headache.
The other twenty orcs couldn't understand what was being said, but they were just a little lucky. Fortunately, they ran fast to hunt during the day instead of studying -
"Zhuo Yan said he would teach us to make up stories tomorrow. What are we making up?"
"Liu, that's right. " It's
made of straw."
"How do you soak it?"
The big-breasted men forgot again and began to discuss it. They studied it seriously, but really - some Embarrassed. When the orcs who went hunting heard that they would learn to weave tomorrow, they immediately said, "Thank you again, God, luckily I didn't go."
Hawa: Despair.
The Leopard People really didn't hide it. They taught them how to make salt. Even the leader of the Leopard People told them to take them to the salt mud field the day after tomorrow. How to turn salt mud into salt? The Leopard People tribe taught them, but they sub-orcs didn't come.
He didn't let me come. Hawa: I only have myself to blame.
No, this is all the fault of Yingren. If it wasn't for revenge, why wouldn't he bring the sub-orcs? It's all Eagle Man's fault.
Hawa's eyes were sinister, and the discussion became quieter. Hawa said, "Study hard, study for a few more days, and teach the Clan orcs when you get back."
Waiting for the clan leader to leave.
All the young and handsome orcs were wailing in pain. They still didn't understand. The journey back would take at least twenty days, and they would all forget it when they got back! I really forgot all about it!
I can't remember it at all.
The other orcs had gloating smiles on their faces and said, "Come on, eat more."
"After you eat enough barbecue, you can study better tomorrow."
"Yes."
Someone else deliberately asked: "How many days will it be when you learn to make salt today?" Have you figured it out? "
The barbecue is no longer fragrant. Dann chewed the barbecue numbly. The anger and hatred in his body were now all turned to mush. What on earth was going on?
He remembered filtering three times, the first time was two layers? He remembered that there were stones the third time, but he forgot how many layers there were.
"Don't think about it, Da En. Eat quickly. You have to study tomorrow."
Da En: ...
This night, the two tribes slept on the territory of the Leopard People. Some of the Tiger People did not sleep well. It was not an environmental problem - the orcs It was not so detailed, where they ran and slept, and their life was very rough, but these orcs felt as if they had to take a test tomorrow and forgot everything they learned. For the first time, they felt anxious and afraid.
What to do tomorrow?
The werewolf sub-orcs next door were too excited to sleep. They were top students and were waiting to learn more knowledge tomorrow.
As a result, the two tribes spent their first night in the Leopard People tribe in completely different states.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the werewolf orcs and werewolf orcs were all here - as well as other orcs who were watching the fun. Zhuo Yan: So happy! It's really eye-catching.
There were too many orcs yesterday, too many were caught, two big hippos - two or three tons, more than a dozen reindeer, and a big deer - a deer like a giraffe.
As expected, more people bring greater strength. For tribes with backward production methods, having more orcs can indeed provide enough food. Their tribe divided a lot of meat yesterday, and the Tiger Man and Werewolf tribe only kept what they could eat. Because the weather was hot and the meat could not be kept, all the meat was given to their tribe.
Each household received more than a hundred kilograms of meat. Zhuo Yan's family had more than 200 kilograms of meat and couldn't finish it. Fortunately, it was midnight when the meat was divided and the cave was cool enough to put it in. Before returning that night, Zhuo Yan discussed with his tribe to make bacon tomorrow.
"What about the filtered salt?"
Zhuo Yan said readily: "It's okay, the werewolves and orcs will definitely be willing to help us."
Free labor.
At this time, the sub-orcs were carrying rattan baskets filled with meat, and they were all by the river. The leopard-man orcs also moved out the poles used to smoke meat before last year's snow season.
Everyone looked at Zhuo Yan, who was gearing up and started assigning tasks: "Brothers of the tiger people, I won't learn to knit for the time being today. Could you please help me?"
Eh? The tiger orcs were so happy that they agreed without asking any questions.
This is like a bad student who didn't memorize anything, but when he arrived at school, he suddenly heard that the first period was changed to physical education class, without exams, and he would talk about the rest later. He should be happy in the first period of physical education class before talking about it.
Zhuo Yan saw the tiger orcs were so happy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Although he is a little slow in learning, look at these biceps, eight-pack abs, chest muscles, mermaid lines, and dog waist... He is really a good brother who loves to work. !
"Shitou Aman, you two will teach us how to build a shelf."
"Werewolf sisters and brothers, the tribe divided too much meat yesterday. The weather is hot and the meat will go bad. Let's take a short morning to marinate the meat.
" The orcs thought that Zhuo Yan also asked them to help marinate the meat, and of course he meant that there would be no problem. Who knows, Zhuo Yan followed up and said: "I'll leave the filtering to everyone first. I'll let Qiao and Xiaoxian take you. Yesterday I saw many grandmothers, sisters and brothers who have read it. This is very simple and not difficult.
Let's get
started ." "
Ah ?" Xiao Xian, and A Bai, Lin Rong, and Cong Lu, please help look at these. We are going to marinate the meat. The weather is hot now, so we don't need to leave it for three days. We can just touch the ingredients. When the shelf is set up, we will string the meat and hang it directly. Go up and make up for it from time to time."
The leopard man orc understood. Zhuo Yan has always been very flexible in what he does, and they listened to Zhuo Yan's advice.
The whole tribe went dry by the river.
When Qiao Xiaoxian took the werewolf sub-orc to the kiln, Cong Lvlin Rong kept a close eye on him. If he saw someone who didn't know how to do it or was hesitant, he would talk about it. Apart from being a little confused at first, he quickly got into the mood.
Zhuo Yan started to stir-fry.
"Do you still need to fry the salt?" a tiger orc asked.
Aman said: "It tastes more delicious after frying. Didn't we give you bacon before? Didn't you eat it?" "
...It seems that you didn't eat it. Everyone likes to eat fresh." The orc said.
Aman: "But it's nothing. The bacon I made last time didn't contain Sichuan peppercorns. This time Zhuo Yan plans to stir-fry some Sichuan peppercorn powder to make it more fragrant."
"What is Sichuan peppercorns?"
"A fruit that tastes numb. "
A Yin took his companions to divide the meat, and then salted the meat. The orcs who were putting on the show looked at each other and whispered to each other: "Do the orcs of the Leopard Tribe still want to marinate the meat?" "These people live in our tribe? Lidu is made by orcs, we are only responsible for hunting."
Aman's face collapsed after hearing this. Zhuo Yan saw it and smiled, "Are you really tempted?"
Shitou said, "What's the difference between what they said and Maha? Maha is also very strong."
"..."
Zhuo Yan saw it on A Man's face . The words 'completely surrender' made me laugh loudly, and said comfortingly: "There are so many of them, you pick slowly."
"...Forget it, it's already past spring anyway." Aman started to do his own work.
Zhuo Yan finished frying the ingredients, and started to rub the Aman stones. A Yin also learned how to do it, and now he brought his friends to do it. After a while, the mat on the ground was piled with meat. Zhuo Yan started to thread the rattan basket rope, and the orcs carried it and hung it up. Hang the first batch of marinated ones.
When the tiger orcs saw it, they said with envy in their eyes: "That's a lot of salt.", "They put a lot of salt on the meat.", "Our tribe will not waste salt in this season."
We would rather waste it without eating it all . I bought some meat and was not willing to pickle it with salt. I would only pickle some meat before the snow season.
When Dan was hanging the meat, he could smell the salty smell. He corrected the other tribesmen and said, "At this time, there is no salt in our tribe."
"Yes, we are carrying a lot of things on our backs. We are going to the Yuren Market. On the city road." The orc finished speaking and glanced at Dan.
But this time, Dahn didn't look at him with hatred just because everyone mentioned the 'Feathered Market'. Dahn was carefully taking the strips of meat and hanging the meat on the pole, so everyone started to work.
Khajiit orcs are envious of the amount of salt used in curing meat, and the sub-orcs of the werewolf tribe who filter the brine are also very careful and cherish the brine. Especially the third time, no one found it troublesome, even after the first bucket of clean brine was released. Finally, everyone cheered.
They learned it!
Qiao encouraged everyone, "You have done a good job. It is the same as what we did. Now this bucket of salt water is what it looks like after filtering it three times. Yesterday Zhuo Yan said that it can be dried or boiled. It is a waste of firewood to cook. Now we pour the salt water Just put it in a big wooden tube of drying salt."
The werewolf sub-orcs were very careful when carrying the salt water bucket, not daring to spill a drop.
Zhuo Yan has also marinated the meat, and the orcs have hung up the last batch of meat sticks. Zhuo Yan said: "Thank you everyone. Now you can go to the river to wash your hands and face, rest for a while, and then I will teach you how to filter the salt water. "
The outstanding class werewolf sub-orcs have another course - learning to weave filters. The orcs are learning to filter in broad daylight today. Everyone has to do it again. If they fail to learn, they will come again.
Qiao and Xiaoxian were responsible for teaching the werewolf sub-orcs how to make the filter. The first time was two layers, the second time was four layers, and the third time was adding pebbles in the middle of the four layers. They picked off the grass stalks of the filter, soaked it a little, and dried it in a cool place. Dry it without exposing it to the sun, and then start weaving...
As a result, in the evening, there was another bang bang bang sound in the clan, and it was about to become fleshy again.
Zhuo Yan:? ? ?
!
I really can't finish the meat.
So in the evening, Zhuo Yan wanted to marinate meat again. This time, the sub-orcs of the werewolf tribe also came to help. Everyone had more hands, and they were busy until the evening. Zhuo Yan also divided some of the meat marinated in the morning and gave it to the two tribes to take back for a taste.
There were torches burning in the forest, and the dim orange light illuminated every happy smiling face of the werewolf sub-orcs. Today they learned to weave nets and make salt to filter brine.
The orcs ate fresh barbecued meat, and the sub-orcs brought back the bacon sent by Zhuo Yan. The meat was a little hard, so they cut it into thin slices for soup or grilled it on a stone slab. This is what Qiao said. Zhuo Yan liked to eat this way.
The orcs will try it tonight too.
"Grandma, the taste of this meat is a little strange."
"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
"No, I can't put it in words. In addition to the salty taste, my tongue is also a little numb. After eating it, I still feel like eating. Eat."
The cub became more lively and straightforward, saying: "It's delicious! I want to eat it again!"
The orcs who were eating fresh meat were curious and shamelessly asked for a piece. After eating, their eyes lit up. It was really delicious. It's delicious, he likes the taste.
The resting place of the Khajiit tribe.
The tiger orcs were also very happy today, because they finally learned how to filter, and they could tell how many layers of filtering they had three times.
Hawa: Lao Huai is pleased.
However, Hawa was too happy too early, and followed the orcs and said: "I still can't learn knitting.", "This is too difficult.", "Werewolves and sub-orcs learn so fast, they have already mastered it.", "I haven't understood it after watching it for a long time. This is also very rare." "It's amazing how the orcs have long hands."
Dan said, "It doesn't matter. I heard Aman say that Zhuoyan's weaving is not the same." Very good, it's all made by others. It doesn't matter if we don't know it. Zhuo Yan is so smart." "
That's right." "That's okay."
! ! It's nothing, I'm still waiting for you to go back and teach your tribe.
However, the patriarch Hawa was reluctant to do this, because he couldn't weave, and he couldn't understand how he could weave rattan baskets with those rattans in his hands, but he didn't care about that now.
"Tomorrow the leader of the Leopard People will lead a team and take us to get salt mud. It will be about three or four days' journey. During these two days, twenty orcs who are good at salt will stay, and the others will follow me."
The leader said As soon as it came out, thirty orcs raised their hands and said, "I want to get salt mud. I'm stupid and can't learn. Please take me there, leader. I can carry a lot of things...
Anyway, apart from studying, everything else is fine."
Hawa's face turned dark, and he finally randomly ordered ten orcs who looked stupid and couldn't learn to follow them to get the salt mud.
"The orcs you left behind, don't fight and quarrel with the leopard men brothers, and work more."
"Leopard men and tiger men are different. Don't wander around in the leopard man tribe without an invitation from the leopard men."
"These two days of hunting We have enough food for three days, so don't hunt in the leopard people's territory."
"The leopard people are very friendly to us, unlike the eagle people, we have to respect them."
After Hawa finished explaining, it didn't matter after thinking about it. The leader of the leopard people did this, taught them how to make salt, and took them to the salt and mud fields. Because of the other party's frankness, they, the tiger people, could not mess around.
"Got it!" "I understand, clan leader."
Early the next morning, the leopard man clan leader ordered the two accompanying orcs, Daya and Ayin, to go with him. The other orcs stayed to patrol and did not need to go out to hunt. The Khajiits left behind twenty orcs, and the werewolves left behind five orcs.
Their tribe also needs orc guards.
When the tribe leader led the team away, the entire tribe did not calm down. Previously, the werewolf sub-orcs were a little shy when they first arrived, but they were not familiar with each other, but they talked a lot while working yesterday, and today everyone gets along much more comfortably.
The brine has been filtered, leaving only the meat to be dried, and the meat is marinated and hung on the pole.
"Then what do you do when you are not alive?" The werewolf sub-orcs were very curious.
Everyone was sitting in the shade of the trees by the river.
The leopard-human sub-orc said: "Actually, we will go back to the cave to take a nap.", "Yes, we will sleep when we are not working."
"We will also sleep." The werewolf sub-orc said.
Abai thought for a moment, "We should have been the same in the past, but we have been very busy in the past year or two. We have to make mats, brooms, bake pottery, make salt, and grow potatoes." "
Plant potatoes?" asked the werewolf sub-orc. .
"It's just mud beans."
"By the way, why do your tribe still have mud beans at this time? We won't have any anymore after harvesting in autumn."
A Bai: "Because Zhuo Yan taught us to grow them."
"Grow them?"
A Bai asked for help, looking for Zhuo. Yan, and then saw a group of tiger orcs sitting under the shade of another tree not far away, and Zhuo Yan was standing outside. Inside, Aman and Xiaoxian should be teaching the tiger orcs to weave.
Zhuo Yan showed his white teeth and smiled happily.
Qiao told Abai that she would go find him.
"Zhuo Yan!"
Zhuo Yan was laughing. He saw that the tiger man orcs were so stupid. It was not a curse, but Aman and Xiaoxian were almost dying. The two of them broke up. In the first few steps, each of the sitting orcs had their hands There were a few straw poles in the room, and I followed the gestures, but I was stunned that I couldn't continue now. Aman almost flew into a rage, but Zhuo Yan tried to smooth things over several times.
For example: "It's hot, Aman, don't get angry, and teach slowly. Look how serious Xiao Xian is."
For example: "They are all handsome guys, look at their faces and their figures."
The two sentences are consecutive. As he said that, Aman muttered "I'm already angry". After hearing this, the orcs grinned brightly. They felt that Zhuo Yan praised them for being good-looking. Aman is very fiery, and when he raises his head, he has big chest muscles - Zhuo Yan said.
After two days of teaching, Zhuo Yan concluded that tigers and orcs are: stupid and handsome guys.
However, he studied hard and was very polite. Oman sometimes got angry. A few weretiger and orcs smiled naively and said, "I'm too stupid and haven't learned yet. I'm sorry. Don't be angry."
He has a good attitude and is very motivated, but he is a bad student.
When Zhuo Yan heard Sister Qiao calling him, he winked at Xiao Xian: Look at you, Brother Aman, there are twenty orcs sitting here.
Xiaoxian: ...Aman is about to explode, and he doesn't want to teach him anymore.
"Here we come." Zhuo Yan ran away, not here to watch the excitement, but to change places to chat, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter and Aman would talk to him later.
Qiao told Zhuo Yan about planting potatoes, "...Abai finished talking, and was a little scared. I didn't know if I could talk about it."
"Okay." It's not in their tribe anyway. Zhuo Yan smiled, and Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief. A Bai's face turned a little pale when she was questioned after what she had just said, so she got up first to look for Zhuo Yan.
Zhuo Yan and Qiao came here to chat together, talking about potato fields and pointing to the riverside area. Compared to the werewolf orcs who are poor learners, the werewolves and sub-orcs are weaving and picking this piece, that is, they are the masters of learning, and they can master it with just a few clicks.
But they don't know the 'seed' concept.
When the leopard people go out to play, they all carry rattan baskets with them for lunch. Naturally, some of them carry potatoes. Zhuo Yan showed the werewolves and sub-orcs how to do it. He looked for several potatoes and finally found a few sprouted potatoes.
"...As I just said, first plow the land and hoe the weeds, because the weeds will absorb the nutrients of the potatoes. In other words, if there are only potatoes in the soil, they will grow more and bigger. If there are still weeds, Grass, the soil still needs to grow some weeds."
Now the werewolves and sub-orcs understood.
"Now that we've talked about the soil, let's talk about the seeds. The potatoes have sprouted." Zhuo Yan took out the bone knife and started cutting the sprouts into pieces. "This is what we want to eat. If we make seeds, we can cultivate more sprouted potatoes." , put them in a rattan basket, spray a little water on them, cover them with skin, and cover them for a few days. "
The surface is full of buds. Cut them into pieces according to the buds. Dip this side with plant ash, which is the ashes of burning firewood and grass." Put the sprouts this way up and bury them in the soil." After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, he held the potato sprouts to the side, dug up the soil, loosened it, and buried it on the spot.
"Look, the depth of the soil is shallow. It doesn't need to be too deep. Just pour some more water."
A Bai: "I'll water it!"
The werewolf and sub-orcs took note of it. They looked at it again and again. There were even sub-orcs passing by. A small hole was also dug next to it. Zhuo Yan nodded and said yes, that's enough, that's the depth. The werewolf sub-orc heaved a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
"Thank you, Zhuo Yan."
"Zhuo Yan, you leopard people are really good, you taught us a lot."
Zhuo Yan said with a smile: "Hi, our clan leader, everyone in our tribe is also very kind, we all worked hard together. Besides, although we are two tribes, we all live in the same grassland, so we should help each other."
"I hope you can grow potatoes well after the rainy season this year," Zhuo Yan said, stunned for a moment, "don't you? Seeds?"
Werewolf sub-orc: "We've finished eating."
"Then you can discuss it when the clan leader comes back. If you want, we should get some out of each hole." Zhuo Yan didn't say anything.
The werewolf orcs were already grateful.
In the next three days, everyone had a meal together - even if the weather was hot, everyone ran to the river. The orcs and sub-orcs looked at the big tree tube where the salt water was going down little by little, turning into thick salt. It would dry out in a few days. Dried, it's really white salt.
The tiger-men and beastmen stumbled and finally someone was able to weave a mat, and they did not run out to hunt. The uncle asked the tribe to distribute some bacon to the people of the Tiger and Werewolf tribes who stayed behind, so in the evening when the weather got cooler, everyone would grill bacon and chat under the shade of the trees.
Aman got closer to a tiger-man orc named Dahn, and Yu was a little jealous, so he turned into Yu and the tiger-man Dahn and kept surrounding Aman.
Zhuo Yan never asked Aman what was going on, so Aman must have known about it.
At noon on the fourth day, the clan leader came back with his people. Almost all the orcs from the werewolf and tiger tribes went there. Each orc carried heavy skins on their backs. Some of the skins had coagulated blood. They were obviously beaten on the way there.
After resting all night, the werewolf leader was leaving the next day.
"Thank you Leopard Clan for your hospitality these days." The werewolf clan leader kept all the items they brought. They took away more than a dozen bags of salt mud and exchanged it for half a basket of sun-dried white salt and two baskets of mud beans. .
He heard from the tribesmen who stayed behind that the leopard people can grow mud beans, so there is no shortage of food now. The sub-orcs will be full every day, and they will not go hungry even if they are not hunting.
"We will come again during the salt season next year. To express our gratitude, half of the prey caught in the Leopard Man's territory will be given to the Leopard Man."
The werewolf chief said sincerely. Hawa, the leader of the tiger people, nodded, "The same goes for us. I will restrain our people and obey the arrangements of the leopard people in the territory of the leopard people."
The two tribes showed the highest sincerity and respect for the leopard people.
Because the Leopard Men tribe did the same to them.
That day the werewolves left the leopard tribe. Hawa, the tiger man tribe, ordered twenty-five orcs and returned to the tribe with the salt mud and half a basket of white salt they had obtained in exchange. The remaining thirty orcs followed him to the Feathered Market.
The leader of the Leopard Men sighed silently. He couldn't stop the Tiger Tribe -
"Clan Leader, are we going to the Feathered Market this time?" Zhuo Yan asked, "I want to go too."
He wanted to see the people outside. The world, look at the new map, after all the work is done, the next month or two will be fine, and it just avoids the annoying rainy season.
So smart!
The Leopard Clan leader nodded, "We haven't notified the Lion Clan yet. We are going this time. Last year we sent salt to the Werewolf Clan and Tiger Clan, and we have to bring it with us this time..."
Chapter 68
The purpose of going to the Feathered Market was to exchange for salt. The other three tribes did not mention that they went back and forth for more than a month just for some gadgets made by the Feathered People. The werewolf tribe is like this. After exchanging salt in the leopard tribe this time, we set off directly back to the tribe.
For the Featherman Market, all members of the Werewolf Clan are not that yearning for it - they want to have fun, but they are still thinking about the tribe, especially the sub-orcs, who want to go back and teach the tribesmen what they learned from the Leopard Man.
They also had to plow the soil before the rainy season and make salt while the sun was shining, but they were busy and no one wanted to go to Yuren Market.
The same goes for the Leopard People. They have been to basically everything they can in the tribe. The leader of the Leopard People asked who else was going this year and could start with the Tiger Team. As a result, everyone in the tribe was lazy and unwilling to make the trip.
There is already salt in it, so I can't finish it. Moreover, it is too hot to set off at this time of year, and the hair will melt in the sun. It would be so comfortable to stay in the cave and sleep, especially in the past few days, the tribe had saved a lot of meat. How great it would be to not have to go hunting and have a few extra days of sleep!
The clan leader didn't force everyone, and told the tiger tribe to stay one more day. They had to pack their things and they could leave in the evening. Hawa, the leader of the tiger tribe, was of course willing, even very happy, and did not rush the leopard men.
No one in the clan was going, and the clan leader didn't want to run around anymore. For more than half a month, the clan leader had been running around in the mammoth territory. At this time, he called Zhuo Yan and asked Zhuo Yan to deliver salt to the lion clan.
Of course Zhuo Yan has no problem.
Just a side trip.
"So in our tribe, A Yin and I will go?" Zhuo Yan asked Ai Ai, this is too boring.
The patriarch said: "If any of you still want to go, you can go together. There are many people in the tiger tribe. We will lead the way this time. It should be safe along the way."
"I understand, patriarch." Zhuo Yan went to find his friends. He didn't believe everyone. None of them were willing to play. Before, Shitou Aman and Xiao Xian were somewhat willing to go.
Joe might not be happy about it, Joe went there last year.
Sure enough, Zhuo Yan asked his friends non-stop, and it was Sister Qiao who asked first. Qiao shook his head and said, "It's too hot. I don't want to go. I stay in the tribe and can help you collect rapeseed before the rainy season."
"... Damn it, Sister Qiao, you convinced me!" Zhuo Yan was speechless and had no reason to persuade Qiao.
Qiao laughed heartily and said, "Look for Aman Shitou and Xiao Xian. The three of them want to play, especially Xiao Xian."
"That makes sense. In fact, I think so too." Zhuo Yan went to find the other three people. Sure enough, when asked, the three of them were all very excited and excited.
Xiao Xian agreed most readily, "I'll go find my second brother and see if he's going!"
Zhuo Yan immediately said, "Just tell A Yin to go too, and A Tou won't go play!"
"I understand, Zhuo Yan Brother!" Xiao Xian ran very fast.
Aman was a little hesitant, "I want to go, but my brother is still young and no one will carry me there."
"Then you want to look after Zaizai at home?"
Zhuo Yan's words were not only lethal to Aman, but the stones next to him were all tiger-like. I was shocked and frightened. The Shitou family was composed of younger brothers and sisters, all of whom were members of the Shitou family.
Aman Stone looked at Zhuo Yan one after another. Zhuo Yan: Very good, it has a great effect.
"I have an idea. The tiger people will come with us this time, and they can carry you." There are so many orcs, and there are many single ones. Zhuo Yan said.
It doesn't matter whether a single orc of the Khajiit tribe carries other sub-orcs or not.
Aman was a little excited, and even two or three orcs popped into his mind. Shitou looked a little annoyed, "Can I?"
"If you are willing, let's ask the tiger orcs. There are so many of them and they have good relations with our tribe, so it will definitely be possible." Zhuo Yan said.
Aman was also moved this time, "Shitou, let's go, I'll take you to ask them."
Zhuo Yan: Hehehe.
It's done.
Sure enough, after a while Aman Shitou came over and said it was okay, let's go together. Xiao Xian also panted and said that his second brother also agreed. Zhuo Yan was very cheerful: "Then let's go back to our homes and pack our things. The team will set off in the evening."
It was the first time for the four of them to go to Yuren Market. They were a little excited. They packed their luggage and chattered about what they were collecting as they walked.
"Although we are not changing the salt, we don't need to bring too many leather things, but Shitou wants to change to a feather skirt, so we can bring less." After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, "Shitou, do you have a lot of stuff at home?"
Shitou said, "I'll take it. Some salt, soap and pottery bowls?"
"Okay!"
Aman said, "I'll bring some leather."
Xiao Xian also thought about what he could bring at home and asked Zhuo Yan what to bring. Zhuo Yan: "It's hot in the summer, so I'll bring a straw mat and three pieces of soap. We'll use one piece on the road. We'll see if we can get anything else with the remaining two pieces. I'll also bring five of the tooth needles of the earth dragon beast. "There is nothing else."
"I can't bear the tooth needle, so I'll just bring a piece of soap and leather." Xiao Xian decided. He heard from Qiao that as long as the salt is not replaced, the other leather can be replaced. Some skirts and jewelry.
Zhuo Yan packed his things into a backpack, and also brought a few strips of bacon. All the meat at home was sent to Sister Qiao. If it is not eaten, it will go bad. There are also chickens and pigs at home, which he entrusted to Qiao to take care of.
"...Usually they find food by themselves. If you come here every two or three days before the rainy season, just chop some potatoes, bacon and pork for them."
Joe nodded and agreed, "You really like them."
"That's my ration reserve. ." Zhuo Yan said.
Qiao didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "The orcs of the werewolf tribe were very excited when they saw your pigs and chickens before, and they even wanted to catch them. People in the tribe said that you raised them, and the orcs of the werewolf tribe were surprised. "
I will raise the whole tribe, Qiao. I want to raise more in the future."
"It will cost a lot of food."
"Maybe we will have a lot of other food besides potatoes."
According to what Zhuo Yan said, Qiao couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about the future. She hugged Zhuo Yan and said, "I hope that one day, my partner will be safe on the road and come back safely." "
I will."
Zhuo Yan set off, the clan leader and The uncles all came to deliver it, half a basket of salt wrapped in leather, this was for the Lion Clan. There is also a piece of oily and water-smooth leather, fiery red, and the whole fur is particularly beautiful.
"This is the leather the Tiger Clan gave you this time. Take it with you and exchange it for something you like." The clan leader nodded, "Go ahead and come back smoothly."
"I understand, clan leader."
A Yin hung two coins on his back . A small backpack, one stuffed with leather odds and ends, and the other a bag of salt for the lion tribe. Zhuo Yan also carried one on his back, but it was not heavy and only contained straw mats, bacon, soap, and a small jar of salt.
He sat on Ah Yin's back, and the tiger tribe was already waiting in the forest.
The clan members all came out and sent them to the river. They were obviously just going out to play, but when Zhuo Yan turned around and saw everyone's faces waving goodbye with reluctance, he was a little moved and waved his arms vigorously, shouting: "We will Come back safely, goodbye!"
Joe stood at the front and waved goodbye.
Soon Zhuo Yan and his group disappeared by the river and disappeared through the forest.
In the afterglow of sunset, the green grassland seems to be dyed red, which is very beautiful. The grass had wilted after being exposed to the sun for a day, and there was still a smell of green grass in the air. The Khajiit leader took the lead, and Ah Yin and Ah Tou ran in the middle, with the Khajiit orcs protecting them from behind.
Zhuo Yan sat on Ah Yin's back, adjusting his breathing. Finally, he got used to it and didn't feel like vomiting anymore. He was looking at Xiao Xian next to him. Xiao Xian fell on his second brother, grinning in the wind and looked at Come and have fun.
In front of them were Shitou and Aman, both of whom were a little restrained and embarrassed, sitting upright.
Zhuo Yan thought to himself that it wouldn't be long before the two of them collapsed in the middle of the night.
The wind was blowing all the way, the grassland was very cool at night, the moon was round and bright, the ground illuminated was clearly visible, and there were many stars. When you looked up, you could see the sky full of stars.
But Zhuo Yan is already a little drowsy. These tiger people are too fierce. He has been running for at least four or five hours. Are they not tired? He looked at Shitou and Aman in front of him. They had already collapsed on the backs of the tiger-man orcs.
The tiger roared in front, and all the orcs slowed down.
Zhuo Yan: Thank God I can finally rest. He touched Ah Yin's neck distressedly. Ah Yin knew what his brother wanted to say, so he shook his head and said he was not tired.
Under the silver moonlight, a shallow river flows quietly.
The orcs rushed to the river, and then in full view, all the orcs turned into human forms. Zhuo Yan: I didn't have anywhere to look, so I only looked at his A Yin.
His Ah Yin is very beautiful no matter how you look at it.
Ah Yin met the way his brother looked at him, a little shy but mostly happy. His brother really liked him and didn't look at other orcs, only him!
"Everyone, rest and drink water." Hawa, the leader of the tiger people, said.
The tiger-man orcs occupied the river and began to drink water. Some of the orcs were on guard. Zhuoyan Ayin's friends stayed with several young orcs from the tiger tribe. The one carrying Oman was called Da En, the one carrying the stone was called Sang Long, and there were two tiger men who played well with Da En and Sang Long. Twin brothers: Yiming and Erhuang.
When Zhuo Yan heard the name 'Erhuang', what was the difference between it and Atou and Xiaopan of his tribe?
Yiming and Erhuang are the youngest, a few months younger than Da En. The four of them are best friends, and Sang Long is the oldest and the eldest brother.
These four were tiger orcs who learned to make salt in the tribe. They were particularly polite and enthusiastic towards Zhuo Yan - a bit like respecting teachers. However, knowing that Zhuo Yan had a partner, the four of them were very measured.
At this moment, everyone finished drinking water and sat by the river chatting.
"Have any of you been to Yuren Market before?" Zhuo Yan asked. He wanted to ask how long he would have to run like this every day.
Sang Long subconsciously looked at Dan. Zhuo Yan noticed it, indicating that he wanted to ask about the distance.
Dan said: "I went with my parents last year."
"It's been too hot recently. If I run during the day, if I can't catch the next water source, I'll easily faint from the sun, so I'll run more at night." Sang Long explain.
Zhuo Yan nodded, regretting a little, "I forgot to make the bitter tree sap balls. It's all because I've been too busy recently, so I forgot about it."
Except A Yin, who listened to his brother's words, nodded in agreement. Others:...! ! ! They all had expressions like 'Fortunately Zhuo Yan forgot', 'Fortunately Zhuo Yan didn't bring it', 'Who ate those bitter meatballs', 'Escaped'.
Zhuo Yan understood, snorted and said, "My Ah Yin is the best!" Only Ah Yin understands him!
Ah Yin happily rubbed her head against her brother. Zhuo Yan Rua's humanoid A Yin head feels good in the hand.
"Bitter tree sap balls, what are they?" Erhuang asked the most lively.
Xiao Xian spoke out loudly first, Shitou Aman nodded, and added: "In short, it is just a big talk about how suffering is not for human beings. Don't be curious."
Hearing the Khajiit orcs being stunned for a moment, they thought it would be better to stay away.
After everyone had finished talking, Ah Yin said to the side: "Last year, Daya and I went to the mammoth territory for the first time to look for salt mud. It was almost as hot as now. Daya and I spent a day in the grassland, guarding the mammoths, and waiting. They left to look for it at night and were a little uncomfortable in the sun. The meatballs my brother gave me saved Daya and me. Although it was very painful, we felt very comfortable after eating it. We were not afraid of being exposed to the sun and would not faint."
"Wow! There is such a use."
"That's true, it's still very useful."
"Don't be afraid of bitterness. It sounds like bitter tree sap balls are very powerful."
The tiger orcs changed their words and now praised the balls. Ah Yin couldn't help but proudly said: "Of course, my brother made it!"
The other orcs nodded, praising Zhuoyan for being smart and Ah Yin for being brave.
Zhuo Yan: ...hehe, Ah Yin has regained face for his little ball. Turning around, the three friends, including Ah Tou, were all wearing masks of pain, especially the tiger-man orc who asked how to do it. Zhuo Yan answered while making faces at his friends.
"A Yin helps Brother Zhuo Yan with everything."
"They are two friends who sleep in the same hole, so of course they help each other."
A Man: "...I still have to say that the bitter tree sap balls are really delicious. Zhuo Yan, give me I opened the circles in my eyes to scare me, so I have to say the same thing!"
"Why are you scaring me? This is arrogance," Zhuo Yan said.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, and rested for less than an hour. The leader of the tiger people called out that they were about to set off, so the orcs turned into beasts, Zhuo Yan climbed on A Yin's back, and set off again.
It was better to go out and play remotely. Although the journey was a bit hard, Zhuo Yan was still very excited and happy. A Yin could also feel his brother's happiness and ran very fast. At night, they and the orcs were walking through the grassland. Refreshing cool breeze.
The second time the water source was a bit far away, but they found it just before dawn. This time they rested for a long time, and also hunted and ate barbecue. Stone brought flint with him, but Zhuo Yan forgot about this. At this time, he was thankful.
Everyone had a barbecue by the river - mainly Zhuo Yan and his group of sub-orcs.
The leader of the tiger tribe is different from their leader. Their leader looks serious, just like his uncle, but he is harmonious, has a good temper, and is very fair. The leader of the Khajiit clan looks like he has a bad temper and is very fierce.
The human form is two meters tall and has scars on its face, which makes it look particularly vicious.
But for a rest, he directed the orcs to hunt, and also specially set aside time for the leopard-human sub-orcs to eat barbecue, and some orcs brought them back firewood.
Zhuo Yan felt that this patriarch was the kind of person who would retaliate against others, but was very loyal.
After eating barbecue, we set out again. At noon, the sun was so hot that Zhuo Yan could bake a layer of oil. He felt that he was going to turn into a black egg this time when he went back. When he saw the big stone in front of him, it was really shining.
It seems everyone is the same.
Zhuo Yan regretted it again: he should have knitted a straw hat. He couldn't knit it, so he could ask Sister Xiao Xianqiao to knit it.
After the extension, Zhuo Yan missed the rainy season a little bit.
During the hottest time, the leader of the Khajiit tribe finally found a site suitable for a long rest. Behind a large gentle slope, there were many tall green grass nearby. Although there were mosquitoes, it was still cool.
You can sleep until night and set out again.
The orcs of the tiger tribe are all experienced. The beast shape overwhelms a patch of green plants. Ah Yin followed suit and found a suitable cool place to overwhelm the grass. The Khajiit orcs saw it and said haha: "You learn so fast.", "It will be cooler this way, and there are fewer mosquitoes.", "I brought my friend here to play last year, and if there were bugs or snakes inside, they would run away. Out."
Ah Yin did it more carefully.
Da En also pressed a piece, which was given to A Man. He saw the other orc brothers and uncles in the clan looking at him with smiles and blushing a little, but he still said to Aman, "I've done it, you can sleep here." "
Thank you, Dan."
Shitou and Xiaoxian said . He was in charge of himself, Xiao Xian whined, and Ah Tou had no choice but to do as he was told and protect his younger brother. Zhuo Yan brought a straw mat and spread it on it. He pulled Shitou Xiaoxian to sleep with him, and Ah Yin and Ah Tou surrounded him in the outer circle.
Don't worry about Aman, he is covered by Dahn.
Everyone rested here until evening before setting off again.
The journey was boring day after day, but Zhuo Yan never complained about hardship or boredom. He looked at the grassland, rivers, and even a desert oasis with great interest. This continent was really strange.
And Xiaoxian Shitou Aman was also in high spirits because of Zhuo Yan wherever he went. They were also infected and found it very interesting. They were really happy to go out and play, but they were a little sunburned.
"Wow, look what I found!"
That day, we passed through a desert oasis and arrived at a continental plain with many weeds.
Several people heard the sound and rushed over, "What?", "What is it, Brother Zhuo Yan?"
"I found a bunch of berries, which look like grapes." Zhuo Yan picked wild grapes and looked carefully. The grape vines here are entangled. The trees bear large, round, self-blackening fruits that are ripe.
Ah Yin climbed up the tree and carefully picked up a lot of food, sending them all to his brother. Zhuo Yan said enough is enough. He originally wanted to taste it first, but Ah Yin was afraid that it would be poisonous, so he swallowed it in one gulp. Zhuo Yan touched Ah Yin's head and said, "It's okay, I saw a bird eating it on top."
The bird ate it and it was okay. It's definitely not poisonous.
There are a lot of grapes here, and Dan's brothers also imitate A Yin in climbing trees to pick. However, the tiger shape is not as agile as a leopard in climbing trees. A Yin can jump to the top, pick the sweetest ones, and then fall down easily.
Dahn knocked down a lot of grapes, but fortunately there was soft grass underneath.
Several people picked grape fruits and put them into their mouths to see how Zhuo Yan ate them. Xiao Xian's eyes lit up as soon as he tasted them, "Brother Zhuo Yan, these grapes are delicious!", "It's so sweet, and they grow longer than in our mountains." "The berries are even more delicious." "It's delicious."
The grapes are ripe, sweet, and a little sour, thirst-quenching and delicious.
Zhuo Yan spit out the seeds and put them into his bamboo tube.
"Brother Zhuo Yan, can we grow this?"
"Can our tribe also grow this?"
The four of them were stunned. They heard Zhuo Yan say that the Leopard Tribe planted mud beans and taught the Werewolf Tribe how to grow them. , they also learned it, but they never thought that this kind of fruit could also be grown.
"This is the seed of the fruit. Take it back and try it. The temperature should be more suitable. The snow has melted and the weather is warmer so I can plant it. However, the seeds are very small now and it will take at least three years to grow into a fruit tree." Zhuo Yan said.
Sang Long said: "It's a bit slow."
"But it can be planted in our tribe, and grandma and the others can eat it."
"That's right, we won't come to Yuren in the future, just take it away."
Yi Ming Er Huang also picked grapes . Eating spit seeds. Zhuo Yan said to be careful not to bite them, and to dry them in the sun before taking them back to mold. Otherwise, I will keep them all and give you half of them when you go back to our tribe.
When the two of them heard this, they were so happy that they readily said, "Thank you, Zhuo Yan."
"You're welcome." Zhuo Yan also liked it very much, and unexpectedly discovered a big wild grape.
Delicious. Delicious.
Hawa, the leader of the tiger people, heard it all. He looked at Zhuo Yan and saw that this sub-orc from the leopard people was really smart, warm and kind-hearted.
After passing through the desert, the climate was obviously different, and the landscape became familiar. It was not the endless grasslands and forests where the orcs lived. The further south you went, the climate was a bit humid, the plants were dense and wild, and some grasses were very familiar.
The tiger man said it was almost there, and it would be there in two days.
Zhuo Yan was attracted by a large expanse of lush grass a hundred meters away. The grass was almost as tall as a person -
"What's wrong with brother?" A Yin first noticed that his brother was sitting on his back and couldn't move.
Zhuo Yan said: "I want to go over there and have a look."
The large army was advancing. If you missed it, you wouldn't know whether you would go this way or not when you came back. When Ah Yin heard this, he howled and said, "My brother and I will go there to take a look, you guys go first."
Ah Yin carried her brother on her back and ran far away in the direction he said.
The grass here is very tall. Fortunately, Ah Yin is tall. If Zhuo Yan sits on it, his legs will be swept away. Ah Yin tries his best to move through the gaps to avoid his brother being scratched.
Ah Tou carried Xiao Xian on his back, and also shuttled behind Ah Yin, Da En carried A Man, Sang Long carried the stone, and the twin brothers... Hawa, who was slower to hear, ordered the team to stop, and followed Ah first Silver went over to take a look.
Zhuo Yan, the sub-orc from the Leopard tribe, discovered something again.
Zhuo Yan originally saw the resemblance from a distance, but he was not sure. The plants here are different from modern ones. If they look somewhat similar, they are almost indistinguishable. It is like picking wild grapes or the pepper tree.
He thinks it is the predecessor of Sichuan peppercorns.
It should be, almost. Zhuo Yan was on the way there, but he didn't dare to get too excited for fear of missing the point, but he guessed in his heart that it must be true. Don't look at the distance and look very close. After running for a while, he finally arrived. It was an endless expanse of green plants. , thin stem, straight, very long, with large green leaves on the top.
"Ah Yin, put me down." Zhuo Yan stared at the plants in front of him. A Yin had already stopped when his brother called him, squatting on his forelimbs. Zhuo Yan got off A Yin's back, walked quickly over, and picked out a pole. The entire pole was much longer than what he planted in modern times.
The pole reached up to his chest.
"What happened to Brother Zhuo Yan? Did you find anything else?"
"Zhuo Yan, are you okay?"
Shitou Aman and Xiao Xian also followed. Zhuo Yan was standing there with a green grass pole in his hand, and they were talking to each other. After taking a look, "What's wrong with Zhuo Yan?" ', 'I don't know' -
"It's true! It's true! I found it." Zhuo Yan cut the rod in his hand into two and broke it off. The whole plant's outer skin peeled off easily. He held the rod and excitedly rushed to Ah Yin. Said: "Ah Yin, we found ramie, we have clothes to wear!"
They are real clothes, not made of tree leaves.
All the orcs of the tiger tribe who arrived shortly after heard this were stunned for a moment, what clothes? Is Zhuo Yan talking about the leather skirt? But the grass Zhuo Yan was holding was obviously different from the leather skirt.
"Brother Zhuo Yan, this is grass."
"It's grass. Look, break it into pieces. If there are fibers, soak them and dry them. Then you can get some ramie threads, which can be used for weaving." Zhuo Yan said one by one. , and he happens to know all these, all!
Who knows, a small life blogger wants to make money and create an account, so he has learned everything.
"It would be better if there is cotton. The one is softer to wear, while ramie is a bit hard, but it will become softer after washing in water. This fabric is very cool to wear in summer and is also strong. It is stronger than leaves."
During this long trip, he wore leaf clothes on the upper body and a small leather skirt on the lower body. He was covered in the sun every day - he really needed clothes urgently, and he could make long pants and long sleeves by then.
Everyone listened in a daze and didn't understand, but A Yin and the others all understood one thing: Zhuo Yan discovered something amazing again.
The friends didn't understand, but they all said: "Then let's pick some and take them back?", "Brother Zhuo Yan, how do you bring this back?", "What are the seeds?"
Zhuo Yan looked at it and said, "It's not time to bloom and bear fruit yet. "It's a little early."
"What do you mean? No seeds?"
"Not now, but -" Zhuo Yan stepped forward and ran back. A Yin jumped over and let his brother get on his back. Run fast.
Zhuo Yan sat on it and said, "Wait a minute. I'll see if there are any blooms. If they bloom, it will be soon."
Several people were waiting in place. A Yin carried his brother on his back and walked around in a big circle. The place was densely packed with ramie. , some older and some younger, he actually found a piece of ramie in bloom -
that is, he was waiting for a few days, and when the flowers faded, he could harvest the seeds.
The flowers have stopped producing seeds, so we have to wait at least half a month. Zhuo Yan patted Ah Yin. Ah Yin understood tacitly and returned with his brother on his back. Zhuo Yan finished telling what he had discovered. Aman said: "This is just right. Let's go to the Yuren Market and stay a little longer, and we will have a good harvest when we come back."
Dan's mouth moved.
Sang Long said: "We won't stay at Yuren Market any longer, and you should follow us, it will be safer."
"Why?" Shitou asked.
Dan finally said: "We came to the Feathered Market this time to seek revenge from the Eagle Man."
"Revenge?" After Aman asked, he thought of the grudge between the Eagle Man and the Tiger Man. He heard what Joe said when he came back, like the Tiger Man One of the orcs' legs was broken by the Eagle Man - Aman reacted quickly and looked at Dan, "Is it you? Your leg..."
Dan nodded, "It's me." He saw Aman With the worry in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It doesn't matter Aman, it's enough for me to carry you, and my legs don't hurt anymore."
Zhuo Yan, who was watching everything: He had guessed that the tiger people were going to Yuren this time. The market is a waste of time. In fact, he could stay here for a few days and then go to the Feathered Market - No, it's already too late this year. He also has to deliver salt to the Lion Tribe, so he can't delay here anymore.
So it was difficult again.
Ah Yin said: "You can go first, and my brother and I will stay to collect the seeds."
"Then I will stay too." Ah Tou said immediately.
Shitou Aman also wanted to say it, but they were carried by tiger orcs, what if they stayed and went back?
"Forget it, let's go to the Yuren Market first and finish our business, and then we'll talk about the rest," Zhuo Yan said.
No, will he come again next year?
Chapter 69
: After a day and a half of hard work, we arrived.
The tigers and all the orcs looked at the entrance to the forest in the distance with murderous intent. Zhuo Yan could feel it even while sitting on A Yin's back. He touched A Yin's neck. The tiger people are tiger people. They represent the leopard people. He still didn't say much and waited to see what happened.
The little bird on the branch noticed it first, chirped and flew into the market.
[The Tiger Tribe is finally here. ]
[I didn't see the Leopard people. ã
About a week ago, the Lion-Man tribe was the first to arrive. In previous years, their tribe came a little later, because among the four tribes, their tribe was closest to the Feathered Market, so they started late and arrived early. But this year, the Lion-Men tribe After the clan leader led the team, none of the other three clans came.
The lion-human orc said: "Why is it so late this year? Did something happen?"
Another person said: "The tiger-human tribe came too late to think about it. That kind of thing happened last year, and they were very angry when they left."
"Get angry again. The leader of the tiger tribe also had to lead a team to exchange salt, which is related to the salt of the tribe. "
Salt can cure meat for the winter, and the most important point is: if you don't eat salt for a long time, the orcs will easily become animalistic and become more animalistic if they only eat raw meat for a long time. Extremely irritable and hurtful. If the sub-orcs do not eat salt for a long time, their vision will decrease at night, which is very dangerous for the sub-orcs.
A long, long time ago, there were no tribes. Because of the trouble of running back and forth to exchange salt, and because they claimed to be the masters of the grassland, how could they let the birds say what it was? As a result, they missed a year to exchange salt, and the entire tribe had not eaten for nearly a year and a half. Salt, serious casualties.
I'm talking about the Lion Clan.
So last year, the Tiger Tribe was made things difficult by the Eagle Tribe. Such a huge humiliation, the Lion Tribe could only remain silent. They didn't say anything, and they didn't come forward to try to stop the fight. They also hated the Eagle Tribe, but in the past, the clan's members suffered heavy casualties, and generations of clan leaders said that Passed down by word of mouth: Be sure to change the salt.
The tiger people are arrogant, but the lion people are not.
But the Lion Tribe can only swallow their anger, fearing that if they speak out, the Eagle Tribe will make things difficult for them next year.
"Just wait a few more days. Although Hawa has a bad temper, he will not ignore the entire tribe." The leader of the Lion Tribe said.
"If you're angry, you still need to eat salt. They will definitely come."
"But why didn't the leopard and werewolf tribe come this year?"
"Maybe the three tribes met on the road. Just wait. It's probably only in the next few days. "
So this year's feathered people's fair was a bit late, because none of the three tribes came. The eagle people had been trying to make things difficult for the tiger people since last year. At this time, the other three tribes were not allowed to put salt in the lion people's hands until everyone arrived. Change again.
Everyone has the same idea as the lion people: the tiger people may be angry and come late, but they will definitely come, not to mention the werewolves and leopard people. These two tribes are weaker. There must be some problem delaying them on the way. Wait. Wait.
So we waited for seven days. From the beginning, everyone firmly held on to their previous ideas, but later, the leader of the Lion Tribe was a little unsure: Could it be that Hawa was ignoring the lives of the entire tribe just to get angry with the Eagle Tribe?
What about the other two tribes?
I can't even figure it out.
The Eagle people are even worse. They have been waiting for a year, just waiting for this year to say this, to see the leader of the Tiger tribe humbly beg for salt. This year when they flew to the seaside, the Eagle tribe even bullied the other three tribes and obeyed their tribe's words. , you can put salt in whenever you want, and you can exchange for as many things as you want. You are not allowed to trade with the Khajiit in private, otherwise you will end up like the Yanren.
The other three tribes dare not speak out in anger. As for the Peacock tribe, they have no salt. In the discussions between the five feathered people, their right to speak is getting less and less, and they have become subordinate to the Diaoren tribe.
At this time, the Eagle Tribe heard that the Golden Head Tribe had come to report that the Tiger Tribe had arrived. They were immediately happy and said, "It's good to be here."
The words sounded like they were concerned about the Tiger Tribe. In fact, the Eagle Tribe leader and the male Eagle standing behind him The people were gearing up one by one, their eyes full of expectation. They wanted the arrogant tiger man to lower his head and beg them.
If you don't lower your head, the Tiger people won't be able to get a single salt in the market this year.
At the entrance of the forest, under the leadership of the tiger tribe leader, he transformed into a human form and put on a leather skirt. Soon there was a noise inside. Zhuo Yan pulled A Yin and Xiao Xian and winked at his friends: "Don't be impulsive. Stand back."
Aman: We are all orcs. Our impulse is to seek death. I understand.
Shitou: Definitely.
Xiao Xian: Received, received, Brother Zhuo Yan.
Very good, everyone is very clever. Zhuo Yan was very pleased, and then turned around to see Xiaoxian's second brother, A Tou, rushing towards the front row in anger. Zhuo Yan: ...
He knows that the three tribes have a good relationship now. Along the way, they have also been very close to Da En. A Tou is a loyal and warm-blooded orc who can easily substitute himself and share the same hatred of the enemy, but! Now, calm down.
"A Yin." Zhuo Yan whispered.
Just by his name, Ah Yin knew what his brother was going to say, and called him "Tou". Ah Tou turned his head, and Ah Yin looked over. Ah Tou was tangled in confusion, and was finally defeated by Ah Yin's gaze, but he came back and stood beside his friend.
Zhuo Yan said: "You are not unloyal, let's take a look at the situation first."
Erhuang and Yiming stood behind, one of them said: "Tou, you have to listen to Zhuo Yan." Erhuang said: "This is Regarding our tiger tribe and the eagle tribe, I know your good intentions."
After the two of them finished speaking, they stepped forward.
However, it was not the Eagle Tribe that came, but the Lion Tribe. Zhuo Yan stood behind and saw from the gap that the leader was a lion. He was slightly relieved. It was okay, okay, he was really scared and he hadn't entered the market yet. Inside, now there's a fight outside.
The leader of the lion tribe and the patriarch of the tiger tribe were talking.
"You are late. We are the only ones who have not received the salt yet."
Hawa said, "We will no longer need the salt from the Yingren."
The leader of the Lion Clan was shocked and looked at Hawa in disbelief, and then advised: "Our clan You haven't heard of the tragic things that happened when there was no salt in the past. Hawa, think about your tribe and your people. Don't be angry. You are not alone. There are lives of the entire tribe behind you."
"I know, I do . I won't risk the life of the entire clan." After Hawa finished speaking, he patted the leader of the Lion Tribe
and said, "We, the four grassland and forest tribes, are supposed to be friendly together." The leader of the Lion Tribe felt a little guilty and said bluntly: "If you and The fight between the Ying people and the tribe, Hawa, I will not be involved in. I have the entire tribe behind me. Our tribesmen need salt."
"Hahahaha, you remind me of my good intentions. We tiger people know that you don't participate, and I understand. ." Hawa knew that he would not be angry with the Lion Clan because of this. He looked at the plaque in the distance with a sinister look, "It is the Ying Men who make our four tribes tremble."
The leader of the Lion Clan saw the anger in Hawa's eyes. Suddenly I was shocked, and when I saw that there were orcs behind Hawa, and there was no rattan basket or any goods, I realized that Hawa was not here to exchange for salt at all this time, and the Yingren tribe didn't know it yet, and the other three tribes were not allowed to take it. To produce salt, you have to wait for the tiger man to come.
"Don't worry, we will stay for a few days." Hawa said suddenly.
The leader of the Lion Tribe was stunned for a moment. This was not like Hawa's temper. If Hawa came to fight with the Eagle Tribe, he would have gone straight there. Why would he stay a few more days?
"Go to the back to find Zhuo Yan, a sub-orc from the Leopard Man tribe. He has something to give you, and you will understand." Hawa said.
A flock of birds arrived from behind, headed by the eagle people, the eagle people on the left, the golden-headed people on the right, and finally the wild geese and peacocks. There were only three peacocks with bright and beautiful feathers. They fell on the branches behind. They were very large, especially Eye-catching and beautiful.
The eagle man in front landed on the highest branch and looked down at the tiger leader who came from afar. Hawa stood on the ground with his head raised, and his momentum did not drop at all.
The Yingren clan leader took off and landed in human form.
"Welcome the Tiger Clan to the Feathered Market. It's a little late this year."
Hawa didn't say anything, just stared at the Eagle Clan leader. This stinky bird said one thing to his face and said another behind his back. He was vicious and cruel. Why? Will they really welcome the Khajiit tribe?
He didn't believe it.
Seeing that Hawa was not afraid of him and had not shown weakness, the leader of the Eagle People smiled coldly in his heart. He could give the salt later this year. The Tiger People were coming, and he was not afraid of missing any season. Anyway, it was not the death of his people.
"Golden Head Tribe, you take the Tiger Tribe to rest -" The Eagle Tribe leader looked around, with a bit of contempt, and said: "Since the Werewolf and Leopard Tribe haven't arrived yet, this year the Tiger Tribe's position will be placed with the Leopard Tribe." "
Everyone knows that among the four tribes in the past, the ligers and tigers had the largest number of people and occupied the front position. Every time they went to the Yuren Market, even if they had a temporary resting place, the cave was the biggest and the best, while the werewolves and leopards had the largest number of people. It is smaller, with light behind it, and a little damp.
The territory of the feather people is not as dry as the place where the fur people live. The caves here are very humid. The orcs have sensitive noses and do not like the wet weather. Now the leader of the eagle people has arranged for the tiger people to live in the leopard people's place.
Zhuo Yan: Dirty words!
This eagle man not only slapped the tiger man in the face, but also trampled on the leopard man tribe. He said clearly that their tribe had no status, and the host did not pay attention to it, so they just arranged a place for Shankara.
hateful.
In the past, when Zhuo Yan read entertainment gossip, he still didn't understand why they were fighting over and over again for the C position. Now... he kind of understands. But what is frustrating is that the Leopard People are really not strong right now -
Zhuo Yan can't help but work hard and think to himself: We, the Leopard People, will definitely occupy the C position sooner or later.
The eagle people in front were so humiliated. Hawa of the tiger tribe gritted his teeth, endured it, and said coldly: "Come in."
The eagle tribe leader was happy when he saw the tiger tribe leader bowing his head and willing to accept this arrangement. He flapped his wings and took the lead to fly away. .
The golden-headed tribe leaves the male to lead the way.
Hawa led his tribe of orcs into the market. When they were staggered, the lion tribe stood beside them. Rows of orcs left. Finally, there were a few new faces - not tiger men, but sub-orcs, and two adults. Orcs.
Find a sub-orc named Zhuo Yan, from the Leopard tribe.
It seems that these people are the leopard people. The leader of the lion people stepped forward, "I'm looking for Zhuo Yan. Is there anything that you, the leader of the leopard people, have delayed you?"
Zhuo Yan:!
His eyes lit up, and he didn't expect to directly meet the leader of the Lion Tribe. It was great.
"Hello, leader of the Lion Clan, I am Zhuo Yan. This time we came to the Feathered Market. There are only six of us in the whole clan. Our leader asked me to come to the Clan Leader of the Lion Clan. I have something to give to your clan."
The Clan Leader of the Lion Clan thought. Something happened to the leopard man, but looking at the sub-orc man in front of him, he looked energetic and happy, so it didn't look like something had happened to the clan.
All the people in front have finished walking, and there are no birds in sight.
Ah Yin handed the small rattan basket to the Lion Clan leader, and Zhuo Yan said: "This is the salt made by our tribe. It was made last year, but because our two tribes are far apart, we can only give it to the Lion Clan this year. "
The lion-man tribe leader was about to take the hand of the vine basket and looked at the sub-orc who spoke in shock, while the two orcs beside him were stunned.
What?
Did they just hear it wrong?
Salt?
Really salt?
How is it possible.
Zhuo Yan has become accustomed to the behavior of the lion people - he heard from Daya Ameng and the others that whether they sent salt to the tiger people or werewolves last year, the other people didn't believe it when they heard the word 'salt'. At this time, they quickly gave a series of explanations.
"It's salt. You heard me right. Our tribe found a salt mud land. The salt we make is whiter and better than the salt in the Feathered Market. There is no sand and gravel."
"Chief of the Lion Man tribe, you can try it."
A Yin Seeing that the patriarch didn't take it for a long time, his brother asked him to try it. He couldn't help but put it on the ground and opened the skin. Inside was a basket full of snow-white salt.
This basket is small. The half-basket of salt refers to the rattan basket they carried on their backs when working. It was placed just right in this small basket and was stuffed tightly. Only a small section was left. It was covered with leather and it was not spilled along the way.
The leader of the lion-man clan frowned, not because he didn't believe it, but because he didn't know how to describe his current mood. He couldn't believe it, but actually there was a little bit of belief in his heart, as well as some fear and expectation. The two tribesmen and beastmen on the left and right also didn't dare to Hands on, all eyes looked towards the clan leader.
Zhuo Yan's last words made the lion clan no longer worried and tormented.
"The werewolf tribe will not come this year, and the tiger tribe did not bring a single sub-orc."
The two tribes are confident because they have salt and do not need to be controlled by the eagle tribe.
The lion-man tribe leader completely understood. He stretched out his fingers, pinched a few grains of salt, and put them into his mouth. The two orcs looked at the leader. For a long time, tears fell from the corners of the lion-man tribe leader's eyes, and he wiped them away with his rough hands. , laughed happily.
The other three tribes have not experienced the painful lesson of lack of salt in their tribe.
Only the Lion Tribe knew that the overlord of the grassland was heartbroken by the humiliation of bowing to the Eagle Man every year. They could only exchange whatever the other party wanted. They watched helplessly as the same Orc had his legs broken by the Eagle Man, and they did not dare to stand up.
"...It's better now." The lion-man clan leader said.
The two orcs finally understood at this moment that the basket in front of them was really salt, and they couldn't help but look at Zhuo Yan.
Zhuo Yan smiled gently and said: "Our tribe discovered an underground salt mine, which is salt mud. We took it back and made some, wash out the salt water from the mud, and then dried it to get the salt. The werewolf tribe and tiger tribe are far away from us.
"We are all orcs , so we sent the same salt to both tribes last year." "Our tribe leader said that we are all orcs, and we should unite to help each other."
"So this year the werewolves and tiger tribes came to our tribe. , let's teach the two tribes how to make salt, and where is the salt mine?"
When he said this, the lion tribe leader looked at Zhuo Yan in disbelief.
Zhuo Yan nodded seriously, "Really. Both the werewolf and tiger tribes know that, naturally our tribe treats the lion tribe in a sincere and harmonious manner, and I hope everyone is well. If you are willing, lion tribe leader, you can come to our tribe to exchange salt this year or next year. , or if you learn how to do it, take the salt mud back and make it yourself."
The lion-man clan leader was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "Chief of the Lion Man Clan, I heard from the tribe that your tribe is closer to the Feathered Man Market. In fact, if the Feathered Man and his people exchange salt in a harmonious manner and do not bully others in the future, the Lion Man Clan will be able to exchange salt wherever they want. Okay, convenience comes first."
"No." The leader of the lion people said firmly, "We have to go to the leopard people to exchange salt."
In the past, we had no choice but to exchange salt here. Now the leopard people have salt, and the four tribes are the same. I had enough of the bird spirit here before. The other three feathered people were pretty good, but now they are forced by the power of the eagle people and have become submissive and do not dare to fight with the four fur tribes. With the exchange of consciences, the four races have also risen as a whole.
"When will you go back?" the lion-man clan leader asked with stern eyes.
Zhuo Yan: ...
They just came!
"Clan leader, we have just arrived, and on the way here, I found some ramie plants, which can be used to make clothes, but there are still some days before they will produce seeds. I want to stay at the Yuren Market for a few more days and collect seeds on the way back."
The lion-man tribe leader didn't understand what they were talking about: ramie or clothes, but he understood that the leopard people would stay for a few more days. He couldn't help but lower his head to calculate the days, and asked his orcs to tie up the skins, cover them up, and go back first.
Finally, we can enter the Feathered Market.
After entering, the leader of the lion people wanted to go back first with salt, and stopped Zhuo Yan, who was here for the first time, and said: "If you leopard people encounter any difficulties here and are bullied by the feather people, you can come to us lion people." "We will all help."
Zhuo Yan: ...No, it's not that serious, and he doesn't fight in groups.
However, he received the kindness from the Lion Clan leader.
"I understand. Thank you, the lion-man clan leader, and all the lion-men."
The lion-man clan leader smiled and led his men away. He had been thinking, and the two orcs did not dare to say anything, even if they were very excited and wanted to talk. Regarding the matter of Leopard Man Salt, but the clan leader did not speak, they also remained silent.
When they were almost there, the lion-man clan leader murmured: "...No wonder Hawa had such an explosive temper. He just held it back and wanted to stay in the market. I see..."
On the other end, there was finally a group of friends.
"Brother Zhuo Yan, you were so awesome just now. You spoke so well to the leader of the lion clan." Xiao Xian looked admiring, "I was so scared that I lost my mind."
Aman said the same, "You said something strange that I couldn't understand. , But I know what you said is good. The lion man clan leader must also feel the goodwill of our tribe."
"Yes." Shitou nodded.
Ah Tou was rubbing his head and felt that Zhuo Yan was getting more and more powerful. This time at Yuren Market, it was really his father's advice: listen to Zhuo Yan more and go to Zhuo Yan first if you encounter danger.
Originally, he thought that if he, an orc, Zhuo Yanya orc, encountered danger, he and A Yin would rush forward to protect Zhuo Yan, but now... after Zhuo Yan's words, the leader of the lion tribe agreed to help them, no matter what. Danger.
"We can stay here a little longer." Zhuo Yan said happily.
"Eh?"
A Yin said, "The tiger tribe leader agreed to stay."
"Smart." Zhuo Yan praised baby A Yin.
A big baby Ah Yin was very happy.
Others: ...It's slimy again. But they soon understood.
Aman said: "The tiger people are really nice."
"I heard Zhuo Yan said that he wanted to collect seeds. I didn't expect that they would stay here and help us."
"That's good."
Zhuo Yan said, "Don't mention the tribal affairs here. Come on, let's go play."
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Xian was the first to agree. He didn't want to think about what Brother Zhuo Yan was talking about. "I kept seeing the shed over there when I came in. "It's green, it's so beautifully made."
"It's made of bamboo."
People from Oman are interested in stones. They have planted bamboo and rice, and it turns out that this is how it grows.
After entering the small forest, you have a wide view. Two trees in the market have signs, and you can see carved birds. A few people stopped and looked up for a while, and saw rows of green bamboo huts in the distance, which were comparable to them. A shed made of wood is much prettier.
"It's so beautiful."
"It's so neat."
It's really beautiful here. It's not only the bamboo house where you can exchange things, but also the stone-paved road with grass growing in the gaps. From time to time, there are all kinds of colorful wild flowers on the roadside. It's really beautiful.
Zhuo Yan felt like going to a modern pastoral scenic spot. Of course, this place was more simple and natural. They looked at each other curiously at the birds flying in the sky. Some of the birds flew away, while others landed behind the bamboo shed. After a while, they looked at each other curiously. A girl in a feather skirt came out.
"Are you here to exchange salt? You came very late this year."
Shitou Aman and others did not dare to answer, and looked at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan smiled and led everyone forward and said, "Yes, we were delayed on the road this year."
The girl nodded and asked curiously: "Are you an orc? You're pretty good-looking, just a little darker. "
...Zhuo Yan was exposed all the way.
The girl looked at the people in the back row again, "No, no, are you a sub-orc? They are the orcs. The sub-orcs in your grassland are all very tall. Sometimes I can't tell them apart."
"I am a sub-orc. Actually, you The two of them we saw were also sub-orcs," Zhuo Yan explained. This girl mistook Stone Aman for an orc.
The girl was shocked. She looked at Shitou and Aman in disbelief, and stammered: "He, they are too tall and strong." Then her expression was full of sympathy. What should I do if they are so tall and courting?
"Yes, they are very powerful, healthy and strong. They are famous sub-orcs in our tribe. The orcs chasing them have to queue up." Zhuo Yan said with a smile.
It can be seen that this feathered man has no malicious intentions, and his subconscious thinking is that after all, in this place, the native aesthetics-like white, slender, and beautiful, but he cannot dislike stones and Oman.
"Ah? Actually, like this..."
Zhuo Yan smiled politely and was about to leave. Who knew that the girl stopped them and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't say you were not good-looking just now."
Shitou: "Ah? Did she just say that we are ugly?"
Aman said in a low voice, "She is very thin, and I didn't even say that she was ugly. Did she just say that Shitou and I were ugly?" She looked shocked.
"That's right." Xiao Xian also jumped up.
Ah Tou and Ah Yin also had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Did that Yuren say that just now?
Zhuo Yan: ...
Very good. He was just afraid that his friend's self-esteem would be hurt, but he never expected that Shitou Aman was a native leopard man and sub-orc. Their beauty and confidence have been recognized and praised by the tribe since they were young. How could you doubt yourself because of someone else's hesitant words?
"Her expression showed just now." Zhuo Yan explained.
Aman: "Wow! Zhuo Yan, you can actually see Yu Ren's face."
"Brother Zhuo Yan is so smart."
Shitou nodded. Ah Yin's little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded.
See, no one took it seriously. Zhuo Yan turned back with his friends. They apologized and they were unscathed, so Zhuo Yan said: "It's nothing. What our tribe likes is different from what you Yu people like."
"Yes, we Yu people like pretty ones, no. You said something bad about you." When the girl said this, she couldn't help but say: "The tiger people and the eagle people had a quarrel before because of this kind of thing."
It might have been an unintentional mistake at first, and each of them made bad remarks, and finally they took advantage of each other and drove up the price of salt.
So the feathered man reacted and hurriedly explained. Zhuo Yan felt that the other party was quite sincere, so he announced his family name. The girl smiled and said: "I am a female feathered person from the Golden Head Clan. My name is Ruohuang. Ruohuang is a small yellow flower. Look, there are everywhere over there. "Everyone can see me."
"My name is Zhuo Yan."
Zhuo Yan looked at his friends. After he finished speaking, Ah Yin followed up with the introduction. The others reacted belatedly and signed up one by one: "Stone.", "Aman.", "Xiao Xian.", "A Tou." "
But because there were so many people, Ruohuang couldn't remember it, so he smiled and said, "There are so many of you, but I remember your faces." "Are you the only one from the Leopard
clan coming this year?"
, without waiting for the other party to ask further questions, he said: "By the way, do you know someone named Zilan? She is also from the Jintou tribe. My partner came here last year and met her."
"I know her. If you want to see Zilan, , I told her to come over tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome." Ruohuang said.
Perhaps because Zhuo Yan knew Zi Lan, Ruo Huang became more enthusiastic towards them and took them to visit his own stall. There were many jewelry and bamboo carvings on it, but there was no salt at all.
Several people looked around and found nothing.
"Are you leaving? During your stay at the market, whose house are you going to eat at? You can come to my house, but you orcs eat too much, so my house can only entertain one person." Ruohuang told the truth.
Zhuo Yan said: "Thank you for your kindness, we will come over if necessary."
"You're welcome."
When they were leaving, Shitou finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Can the Peacock tribe set up a stall? Where is their stall? "
Well, their stall is very close to the Carving Man." Ruohuang pointed to the middle, "The biggest and most beautiful stall is from the Peacock Clan."
"Thank you.
"
It was getting late, so a few of them decided to go and see the Peacock Tribe's stall before going back. Shitou was still a little weird and was embarrassed, saying that it was okay to come and see it tomorrow, and he was not in a hurry.
Zhuo Yan: "What if the good-looking ones are replaced by other sub-orcs?"
Shitou was very frightened and became rude. He hurriedly said: "Then let's go there first."
"Hahahahahaha, Shitou, there are only lions now. Human orcs, they have been here for several days. If they change early, Zhuo Yan is kidding you." Aman said with a smile.
Xiao Xian also smiled.
Shitou became angry and came over waving his arms. Zhuo Yan hurriedly ran to Ah Yin, spinning around to hide. Shitou hit him with his arm, and he staggered, so he decisively admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Brother Shitou, it's my mistake, let's go!"
"I'll use soap to change your skirt later!"
Shi Shi put away his fists with a smile on his face and said happily: "No, I brought something."
Chapter 70
The Diao people and the Peacock tribe have the best relationship. The stalls of the two tribes are close to each other. If Huang pointed in the direction, Zhuo Yan and the others went in the direction and followed the direction. Before they got close, they were far away. , Xiao Xian let out an exaggerated wow first.
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's really beautiful!"
Xiao Xian said wow, even A Man was a little moved. Shitou immediately stopped chasing Zhuo Yan, looked up, and stayed there, shocked.
It was located a little further inside the winding mountain path. The terrain was slightly higher. There was an empty space in front of it that looked like a square yard. It was filled with flowers and was beautifully tended. The setting sun reflected the afterglow, and the light and the beautiful scenery complemented each other, like A small private garden, with a large bamboo house located at the end of the garden.
Several people were restrained.
Zhuo Yan was the first to say: "Go in and take a look."
"Come in, go in?", "Do we really want to go in?", "Otherwise, let's go back and take a shower first.", "Come back tomorrow."
Even just now Aman and Shitou, who were full of confidence, could not help but feel restrained at this meeting.
Zhuo Yan didn't care. Today's shopping would be the same as tomorrow's. "Are you sure? If you're sure, come back tomorrow. The store won't run out."
"Come back tomorrow," Shitou said.
"Okay." Zhuo Yan saw that it was getting late and estimated that the Peacock Clan was about to close, so he didn't go up. He decided to take everyone to the residence to settle down first and wait for a good stroll tomorrow.
The stone walked the slowest and turned to look at the peacock stall. It was so beautiful.
"Hey, yes, it's you, big guy." A clear voice came from the distance.
Shi Shi stopped and pointed at himself. The person on the other side said lazily: "Yes, which tribe are you from?"
"Leopard people." Shitou answered.
The other party said again: "Leopard people, do you want to come in and take a look? You have been looking at it for a while."
Shitou's face was a little red, and he didn't know how to refuse, so he looked at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan turned around and said, "Let's go and have a look, my host warmly invites me."
In fact, he was not very enthusiastic. The other party's voice was a bit lazy and a bit arrogant. When he got closer, the other party was standing in the garden, surrounded by flowers. Half of the figure was blocked, and it was only when he got closer that he could see his face clearly.
Zhuo Yan, who was muttering just now, immediately said: wow~
"Wow~"
Zhuo Yan:? ? ? Did he say it? He turned around and looked at Ah Yin subconsciously. Ah Yin looked at his brother and blinked. What's wrong with brother?
It's okay, it's okay. Zhuo Yan winked back. It seems that the 'wow' just now was not from him.
Xiao Xian made a wow sound.
This male peacock is really beautiful. He is about 1.85 meters tall. He has a slender figure, wide shoulders and narrow waist. His muscles are strong but not exaggerated. They are very smooth. His legs are long and his skin is smooth and flawless. Under the sunset, he looks outstanding. Mr. Yan felt that the other person's skin was shining like pearlescent powder, shining brightly.
The most important thing is that this person has long blue-green hair, which is smoother than the hair of the commercial shampoo, like satin, has no frizz, and is well taken care of.
He has a pair of narrow red phoenix eyes, a straight nose, slightly thinner lips, and bright red lips. He looks very arrogant. He half-squints his eyes when looking at others, which makes him look a bit squinting - but because they are all taller than each other, they can't swipe at them.
Xiao Xian has grown to about 1.83 meters tall this year.
Moreover, this man also painted his nails, which were purple-red, and the nails were beautifully trimmed and rounded.
Zhuo Yan swore that, based on his appearance, it might be a bit inappropriate for other men, especially if he dyed his nails, but for this man His body is simply perfect, just...a beautiful male.
"Hello, we are from the Leopard Clan. My name is Zhuo Yan." Zhuo Yan introduced him. When he saw that Shi Shi was blushing and stunned, he couldn't help but said: "He is my good friend Shi Shi. He likes the jewelry of the Peacock Clan very much. You guys When does it close? If it's too late, we can come and see them tomorrow."
The other party started to shoot them again - trying to shoot them with their long eyelashes, creating a sense of coldness and arrogance, but failed because they couldn't shoot them in the stomach. Muscle bar.
Zhuo Yan's abdominal muscles were dented. He also had four-pack abs.
"...Come in with me." The other party turned around and led the way.
Zhuo Yan: Okay, no need to be concave. He took a look and found that in the entire team, only his A Yin Gang had the same concave abs as him. A Yin had eight dollars, and they added up to twelve dollars, and they won!
"Let's go, Shitou!"
Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Shitou's face. Shitou seemed to be waking up from a dream, his eyes were focused, and his face turned red when he realized what he was doing.
"Let's go in and take a look."
"Oh, okay, let's go." Shitou didn't know where his hands and feet were.
In fact, this peacock man is not exactly hospitable, and he looks a bit like a country bumpkin to them - but he doesn't have any ill intentions, especially when he sees them wowing at his appearance, the peacock man is actually quite happy. of.
Zhuo Yan whispered to Shitou, Aman and Xiaoxian, "I think we can praise each other more sincerely when we go in."
"His garden is so beautiful."
"Why does his hair look so beautiful? It's not like our frizzy hair. "
Not to mention his white skin, why doesn't he even have scars?"
Ah Tou snorted and said, "If an orc has no scars, he is not a warrior."
"Second brother, you are an orc, and he is not. He is so beautiful. " "Xiao Xian said sincerely.
When Zhuo Yan saw the peacock man who hadn't gone far away, he felt that his back was already swaying and arrogant - very good, he really did this. But looking at his friends, they also seriously think he looks good.
Okay, win-win.
Only Ah Tou groaned and said that Xiao Xian and the others had no eyes, so he asked Ah Yin instead: "A Yin, tell me, do you think he is good-looking?"
"Good-looking." Ah Yin nodded, "But you are also very good-looking. Ah Tou is good-looking."
Ah Yin's statement is very objective. The peacock man is good-looking, and Ah Tou is not bad looking. If we continue to ask more questions, Ah Yin will say that the entire leopard tribe, including the tiger orc brothers, is good-looking.
Everyone looks good.
But his brother is the most beautiful, the most beautiful in his heart.
Ah Tou regained a little bit of face, so he wasn't angry anymore. After all, it was his first time here and he was always curious about everything.
"Still not coming? Mo Ji." The peacock man said coldly.
Zhuo Yan: "It's coming, it's coming." Your voice can hardly suppress the sense of déjà vu that says, "Come here, I'm going to show off."
Several people followed. The entrance to the small garden was an arched arc, surrounded by violet vines and hanging flowers. Xiao Xian wowed again, "What a beautiful flower."
"There are no such beautiful flowers in our tribal mountains."
"Why? Is it in this shape? It's so beautiful." The peacock man
turned around and said calmly, "It took me two years to make it."
"Wow, you are so awesome."
He snorted softly, "This is nothing."
Zhuo Yan: ...If Xiao Xian keeps boasting, this peacock man will change his original shape and spread his wings.
Entering the arch, there are all kinds of flowers that Zhuo Yan has never seen before. The peacock man has a good aesthetic sense, and the combination is very beautiful. There are also grass as embellishments, and the shape has been trimmed. Xiao Xian Aman once again said that he looks good.
...No, why has the stone been silent for a long time?
Zhuo Yan looked over, and Shitou looked at the peacock man with his hands and feet, his eyes filled with admiration.
The air is very fragrant. I walked through the cobblestone path and arrived at the bamboo house. This bamboo house is much larger than the stalls and shops I saw before. The one in Ruohuang is about ten square meters, and this one is thirty square meters. The eaves at the door stick out slightly and are tied with shells. The wind chime made has a small flower hanging at the bottom. When the wind blows, it makes a tinkling sound, and the flower also floats in the air.
"Wow, what is this!" Xiao Xian raised his neck to look at it, "The tinkling sounds so nice."
The peacock man said in a very deliberately cold voice: "That's a wind chime made of sea shells, brought back from the beach."
"Really. It looks good." Aman looked at it, "Can I change it?"
Peacock Man: "It requires a lot of leather, so don't bother with it."
"...It's so strange." Xiao Xian reached out and pulled A Man's arm, "Forget it, we'd better not change it, just take a look."
"I don't want to change it either, this one needs a lot of leather."
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at the wind chime again. It's so beautiful.
Peacock Man: "I made it myself. I made everything here."
"! You are so awesome." Xiao Xian praised. Aman nodded, "Although you don't speak nicely, you are indeed very powerful."
Zhuo Yan: ...Hahahahaha.
The Peacock Man's face turned cold and he snorted. After a few seconds, he called a few people in to see, "What's your name?"
"Aman."
"You don't speak well either," the Peacock Man said.
Aman curled his lips, he was not angry.
This bamboo house is quite spacious inside. It has a triangular roof and high ceilings, which makes it appear large. It is divided into two and blocked by a beaded curtain -
"Can I touch this?" Zhuo Yan asked.
The peacock man glanced over and said coldly: "Be careful."
"I know, thank you." Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand to touch, and the tentacles were a bit cold. The nail on his little finger was large, oval, with green patterns. At first glance, it was a plant bead, but it wasn't. Rather than stringing them together through holes, weaving is used to hold the beads tightly one by one and tie them into knots to make a bead curtain.
It must be very time consuming.
The beads still smelled cool. "Can this repel mosquitoes?"
The peacock man looked over and said, "Have you been here before?"
"It seems I guessed it right." Zhuo Yan said with a smile, "This is our first time here. , but this bead has a refreshing smell. I guess hanging it here can keep mosquitoes away."
"Are these beads so good?"
"Can we exchange some?"
The peacock man said lazily, "There are these beads everywhere in the mountain. All of you are fine."
"You're so kind."
"You don't have much knowledge, so you can just praise me." The peacock man started to complain.
Zhuo Yan: ...Really, after hearing a few compliments, the peacock men will raise their tails high, but they actually got some beads, which is pretty good.
There is a bamboo bed inside the bead curtain, and a table next to it, which should be the place where the Peacock Man usually rests. They didn't go in. There was a three-row shelf made of bamboo against the wall on the other side, with accessories scattered on it.
There are some accessories hanging on the front wall, such as feather skirts, necklaces, bracelets, and hair chains.
The whole house is clean, even the floor is covered with bamboo, and there are some signs of wear and tear. The house smells good, and things are in their respective places and arranged neatly.
Shitou saw the clothes hanging in the middle of the wall at a glance.
"Can this be replaced?" Shitou asked.
This is Shitou's first words after arriving here.
The peacock man looked over. It was his most proud work. It was a dress woven with his fallen feathers and bamboo silk. The bamboo silk was specially dyed with flowers. It is cool and beautiful to wear in summer and can be worn everywhere. With fragrance.
"You have pretty good taste. Would you like to choose your partner?"
Shitou's face turned red. He didn't think anything of being mistaken just now, but now he feels a little shy. Does it mean that he looks like an orc and is not suitable for wearing this skirt?
"No, I wore it myself."
"Are you a sub-orc?" Peacock Man was shocked.
Zhuo Yan didn't say anything, but if this peacock man dared to speak rudely about his stone figure, then don't blame him for being rude!
Shitou nodded, "Yes."
"Then you can't wear it."
"Why not!" Aman was furious.
"That's right."
Zhuo Yan: He clenched his fist, but the next second, he saw the peacock man's eyes scanning the stone figure, and was slightly stunned. Did they misunderstand? This peacock man was indeed quite unruly and arrogant when he spoke, but Maybe like before, he was too sensitive.
The stone was looked at with hands and feet that didn't know where to put it, especially since the man kept his eyes on his chest
for a long time.
"You can't fit this skirt. If you want to change it, I can change it to your size, but you have to wait." Peacock Man said.
Shitou immediately became happy, "How long will it take?"
"Three days." After the peacock man finished speaking, he glanced around the people standing proudly and hummed, "I can change it, but who knows if you can afford it." Don't. I thought he didn't notice that these savage orcs were just about to take action, and he had to ask for more.
Shitou was so happy that he put down his backpack and showed his things to the other party, "I have a deerskin, two pottery bowls, a piece of soap... I can give them all to you, are these okay?" He thought for a moment, but still Didn't take out the salt.
I'll ask Zhuo Yan later if we can exchange.
Zhuo Yan next to him: ...Although he is not very good at bargaining, he has seen his mother bargaining for things at the market. Anyone who shows his trump card when negotiating the price, how can we continue talking about it.
really.
The peacock man glanced arrogantly and said, "No, it's not enough. The feathers in this skirt are my hair. I am the most beautiful peacock in our tribe."
"Then what else do you want?" Zhuo Yan asked .
Aman Xiaoxian said: "There are already a lot of stone things." "Yes, our pottery bowls are very easy to use."
Peacock Man: "I know pottery. I can use bamboo tubes to drink water, which is cooler."
"Soap I I also know that I can wash it with beans to moisturize my skin."
"As for that deerskin, it's hard and I don't like the pattern very much."
Aman looked like he wanted to hit someone.
Zhuo Yan smiled and smoothed things over and said: "When people are doing business and exchanging goods, we can't buy or sell by force. Both parties have to be willing. It's not Yingren - hehehe, I didn't mean to say anything bad about Yingren." But he had a full face. They are all 'Eagle Man Hot Chicken'.
"I haven't asked yet, what is your name?"
The peacock man said calmly: "Kong Xingxing."
Zhuo Yan:...
I couldn't hold back my laughter. I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.
This name is a bit in contrast to the peacock man's aloof and arrogant look, just like - Ah Tou. Pull out Ah Tou's name again for comparison.
"Hello Kong Xingxing, you are so beautiful. My friend really likes your outfit."
"What is this outfit?"
"It's just a top, a skirt and a headdress." Zhuo Yan said.
Kong Xingxing opened his eyes wide and looked at the orcs in front of him. His calm demeanor was gone and he almost jumped, "Didn't you just change into that dress?"
"No." Zhuo Yan opened his eyes and lied, "This one is hanging on the wall. , this set of colors, this is a set."
"It's a set, but his thing-" Kong Xingxing looked down at the things in the big man's backpack again, "You can only change it to a necklace. "That's a necklace, not a shirt."
Shitou was so happy that he took out everything and put it into Kong Xingxing's hand.
"Then I'll change the necklace."
Kong Xingxing:! ! !
He didn't say he wanted to change it, so why did he change it suddenly.
Zhuo Yan: "That's what you said. The Peacock Clan don't keep their word, right?"
"That's right."
Kong Xingxing: ..."Forget it, you can take it away." It's so abominable, so abominable.
Shi Shi was also very happy to get the necklace, and he stepped forward cautiously. Kong Xingxing said don't move, your hands are rough and don't scratch it. Shi Shi was not unhappy either, and stood there, waiting for Kong Xingxing to pick it off and give it to him.
"Thank you, Kong Xingxing." Shitou said happily and put the necklace in his backpack.
Kong Xingxing said again: "Your backpack is dirty and it broke my necklace."
"..." Zhuo Yan couldn't bear it, but wanted to build a good relationship for the future, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Shitou, put it on." , It will look good on you."
Shitou thought so and made gestures towards his neck. Zhuo Yan was about to ask for help when Kong Xingxing went over first and said, "I'll come. You orcs are all rough hands."
"We are sub-orcs, Ya." Orcs!" Aman emphasized. Hateful weak male feathered man.
No wonder Zhuo Yan misunderstood and mistook the necklace for his upper body, because the necklace was very complicated, a bit like a small cape cardigan, similar to the pearl blouse Zhu Bajie wore when he got married in the sky in Journey to the West -
he was embarrassed by his own description. Down.
The feathers are not small, but a complete peacock tail. The bare part at the root is shortened, leaving only the most beautiful bunch in the front. It is woven with purple-red bamboo silk in four horizontal circles, and the entire necklace is at the neckline. , the bamboo silk was wound several times to wrap the peacock's tail. The whole thing is beautiful and strong, and the handiwork is really neat and neat.
The placket tie is made of finely rubbed leather and decorated with two small shells.
What's the difference between this and a top?
Shitou is tall and muscular, with tanned skin along the way, big chest and abdominal muscles, handsome facial features, a typical appearance of the leopard tribe, with rounder eyes and a short and round lower jaw. In fact, his appearance is handsome and childish - because he is round.
At this time, a circle of blue and green feather necklaces hangs down under Shi Shi's chest. You can vaguely see her abdominal muscles, chest muscles, and black skin. Not to mention, she is really good-looking.
"It looks good!" Zhuo Yan affirmed.
Aman was still angry, thinking that he must have asked for too much of the Kong Xingxing, but now when he saw the effect of the stone on the body, he couldn't help but said: "It's so beautiful."
Xiao Xian was screaming that it looked good.
Shitou blushed a little after being praised. He was embarrassed and looked at Kong Xingxing sincerely. "Thank you, I like it very much."
"...No need." After Kong Xingxing finished speaking, his eyes fell on the sub-orc man in front of him. I never thought that the tall, dark-looking sub-orc man would look... not ugly when he put on his necklace.
Later, when it got dark and they were about to leave, a young man from the Golden Head Clan found them and took them to settle down. "The Tiger Clan has taken over your Leopard Clan's place. This year, you will stay in the Werewolf Clan's territory first."
"It's really strange. , The werewolf tribe hasn't arrived this year."
"Why do you leopard tribe have so many people?"
And they don't bring much. This black guy also has the impractical hair of the peacock tribe. What will he use in exchange for salt?
Zhuo Yan listened to the Jin-head tribe talking to themselves, and hummed from time to time. They helped carry Shitou's backpack because they said not to crush Shitou's 'necklace', and Shitou, who had always been very independent, did not refuse this time.
However, Zhuo Yan still felt that this was a top.
Ah Yin and Ah Tou stood on the left and right outside, protecting the few people inside until the night rose. The night here is darker, and the moon is not as bright as their tribe - of course they are all the same moon.
But the light at night is not as good as that of their tribe.
The golden-headed boy was brought to the place, turned into a bird, held the fallen feather skirt in his mouth, and flew away.
I heard from Qiao before that the Golden-headed Tribe was the smallest, but this time when he saw the original form, Zhuo Yan felt that it was bigger than he thought. It was smaller than he thought. When he opened his wings and flew, he was about the same size as a wild goose, with a golden head. feather.
Zhuo Yan estimated that the wild geese here were larger, just like the orcs of the Leopard Man tribe were much larger than ordinary leopards. He speculated that the Eagle Man and the Eagle Man were bigger.
That's a bit scary indeed.
"You've got it." There was a voice in the distance.
Aman waved: "Dane! We just went to the market, and the stones were exchanged for necklaces."
Daen and Erhuang of the tiger people came, and they met and went to the werewolf cave together. Daen pointed to the back, "We will You can call us if you need anything in the back cave."
"Got it," Aman said.
The werewolf cave was quite big, but it was a little damp inside, and it was close to the river and smelled. It was getting dark now, so Zhuo Yan and the others took out old leathers and straw mats and found a relatively dry place to set up.
Dan Erhuang brought barbecue to them.
"Have you found the place where Yuren eats?" Erhuang asked. He was afraid that a few people wouldn't know, so he said it again.
While Xiao Xian was eating barbecue, he was already hungry, and he said vaguely: "Ruohuang, a member of the golden-headed tribe, asked us to go to her house for dinner, but she said we have a big appetite and can only go alone. I don't want to go with my brother and Everyone eats separately.
"Yes, most of us have good appetites and are healthy after eating a lot."
Dan nodded, "Yes, Yuren and the others eat very little."
The two of them could talk together if they had something to say.
Zhuo Yan then said, "We'll do it ourselves. Da'en, you can ask the leader of the Hawa clan. Ah Yin and Ah Tou will also hunt with you. Is that okay?"
"Of course it's okay." Erhuang answered. Dan nodded. This is nothing.
So it was settled.
Ah Yin Ah Tou went hunting with the Tiger Tribe during the day and brought back some meat, which they roasted themselves. If they wanted to eat something else -
"I don't eat Yu Tribe food." Aman said.
Xiao Xian: "That's right, I'm sure I won't be full."
Zhuo Yan: "Even though we're here, we always want to try the local specialties. And we won't go to the Ying people's house to eat. I think the Jin-head people are pretty good. Or go find the Peacock Clan and the Eagle Clan."
He didn't mention the Dayan Clan. Last year, the Dayan Clan and the Tiger Tribe also had an argument - he had heard Sang Long talk about this matter. The Ying Men and local snakes bullied the Dayan Clan, but the Dayan Tribe themselves were weak and were beaten by the Ying Men and did not dare to go to the Ying Men. Trouble, leave the blame to the Khajiit tribe.
The tiger tribe also took things and exchanged them with them in a serious manner.
After eating the barbecue and talking, Dan and Erhuang left. Shi Shi didn't chat all night, and looked at the stacked necklaces from time to time - when he just ate barbecue, Shi Shi took them off, and put the necklace on the cleanest side of the rattan basket.
"Let's go to the river to clean up." Zhuo Yan said.
"Okay."
Everyone went out to the river together. Because the entrance of the cave was very close to the stream, they were not afraid of anyone taking their things. Everyone jumped into the river to take a bath. Zhuo Yan said, "Use my soap and keep yours for exchange."
"Okay."
Everyone was not polite.
Zhuo Yan first wetted the soap and rubbed it on Ah Yin's head. Ah Yin took the soap and rubbed his brother's hair, and passed the soap to the next person. Zhuo Yan and A Yin washed each other's hair, while the others scratched their own heads.
After a day in the sun, it was rare for everyone to cool down.
"Shitou, let's continue to find Boss Kong tomorrow." Zhuo Yan said.
"Ah?", "Why are you still going?"
Shitou said nothing but was a little moved. Zhuo Yan said: "I only have one necklace, and I have to change it for the stone."
"But I have nothing left." He has finished changing it today.
Zhuo Yan: "No, you still have it."
Shitou thought about it and his eyes lit up. Zhuo Yan said: "The Peacock tribe has no salt."
Everyone understood. Aman said: "Oh, Shitou still has one hand left today and has not finished changing it. Shitou, it's okay. You are very smart. I thought you took it all out."
"No, no." Shitou hurriedly explained: " I was afraid that Zhuo Yan wanted to hide that our tribe had it - that's why I didn't take it, it wasn't because I was reluctant to part with it."
He was willing to exchange everything for that skirt and necklace, they were really beautiful.
Zhuo Yan said: "Shitou is not cunning. What he likes is that he wants to do good to you with all his heart." He chuckled again: "But I am cunning."
When Aman saw Zhuo Yan's smile, he was very excited. Son, eager to try, with a look of excitement of "If you go do bad things, I will go with you", "What are you going to do!"
"What are you thinking about? We Leopard People will not deceive or kidnap. Okay, I just use some I hope Boss Kong will be kind enough to sell them to us."
"Besides, he won't suffer any loss."
It's hard to say who will lose or gain from exchanging practical items for art, because one can actually use them. , the other is to make the spirit happy - how happy the stone is. But judging from Boss Kong's attitude in the afternoon, it was obvious that what Shitou brought also impressed Boss Kong.
Worse, they also had a piece of fiery red leather given by the tribe, which should be fox skin.
"Boss Kong just likes to put on airs. If you don't mind Stone, we can run there more every day, grind for a few days, and then put in the last things you left." Zhuo Yan said.
The Tiger Tribe and the Lion Tribe will definitely keep the matter of salt a secret for a few days until the end - if the Khajiit Tribe wants to punch and kick the Eagle Tribe, they will naturally have to cooperate and run away after the fight is over.
"I don't mind, I don't mind. In fact, Kong Xingxing is very good-looking, and his hair is also very good. He cleans the house very neatly and beautifully, and the house smells good. He speaks very nicely..."
Zhuo Yan: No, Shitou, You shouldn't...
But when he thought about it, Kong Xingxing really liked Shi Tou's aesthetics. Shi Tou liked beautiful men, especially this handsome man who liked to be clean.
Aman thought of something and was shocked: "Shitou, you must have fallen in love with that peacock man."
"Ah!" Xiao Xian was so excited that the soap almost fell into the creek and he quickly fished it out.
Seeing the excitement of the two of them, Zhuo Yan couldn't help but say, "If you like Shitou, you'll like it. We've come all the way here for vacation. Feathers and furry animals have reproductive isolation and can't have babies. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Shitou, if you like it, just be patient ." Damn, we're not at a loss."
"I don't know if he's married yet." Shitou was shy but moved.
Zhuo Yan: Very good. It seems that Shitou has thought so for a long time.
I applaud everyone in this world for being sincere and bold in their feelings.
