Zhuo Yan traveled to the world of beastmen and became the beastman of the leopard tribe.

He is a sub-beastman with three major sins: lust, laziness, and gossip.

... If conditions permit, who doesn't like handsome men, who wants to work, and who doesn't like to eat melons?

Zhuo Yan, a single beastman, currently has no conditions.

Because winter is coming soon, I heard that sub-beastmen without beastman partners will not survive the winter.

Before the blizzard came, Zhuo Yan met a dying young beastman, the most famous white-haired boy in the tribe, with a different fur color, and he has not successfully transformed, and has lost the qualifications to be a beastman.

In this world, beastmen are absolute forces, hunting and defending.

Beasts that failed to evolve were more despised than him, the despised beast.

But...

the cub looked at him with furry and wet eyes.

It looked a lot like the silver gradient that the family used to raise.

Zhuo Yan gritted his teeth and took it back.

-Later

, the Leopard Tribe welcomed the first sub-beast leader, who sat with the most ferocious and brave beastman partner. The leader was smart and brave, and led the tribe to open up wasteland, plant, build, and raise livestock. The Leopard Tribe became one of the most famous and powerful tribes.

"He is not the despised beast."

-Small

drama:

The little beast that failed to transform, likes to sleep with his brother in his arms in winter and lick his brother's fur in the morning.

Zhuo Yan: ...The tongue with barbs is such a sweet burden.

Later one night, the little beast suddenly transformed while holding his brother.

Zhuo Yan: ! ! Me, me, me, me, go -

meeting at the lowest point, the two beasts hate each other.

If there are conditions, they will be lustful, lazy, and possessive, black-bellied, and inferior. Loyal dog top (super big size difference

Zhuo Yan?? Furry,

one sentence, introduction: The ground is full of fur,

concept: hard work, eating well, pursuing a happy life

Chapter 1:

Zhuo Yan traveled to this world for exactly ten days. There is the word "æ­£" on the stone wall. On the first day after Zhuo Yan arrived, he had a deep understanding of the truth and carved it out that night. There are exactly two words of "æ­£" on it.

The early morning sun shone brightly into the cave entrance.

Zhuo Yan put on his little leather skirt and a small waistcoat on his upper body. He wrapped his feet with soft leather before putting on his shoes. He wore a pair of simple straw shoes. The temperature has cooled down a bit recently. After finishing it, there were rustling voices outside the cave entrance. Voice.

"Qiao, let's go quickly. Don't pay attention to this annoying guy."

"Yeah, yeah, why are you taking him? He's annoying the beast."

"Let's run away."

Zhuo Yan in the cave:!

The sub-orcs in this world are quite cute. They say nothing behind anyone's back and speak loudly to him at the entrance of his home, for fear that he won't hear.

Qiao said: "No, yesterday Zhuo Yan said he would go out with us to pick today, and I agreed to him."

"Hey, why did you suddenly start playing with the beast?"

"Zhuo Yan told me that he would I will be diligent..." Qiao was still explaining.

"I don't believe it. Zhuo Yan has told many lies since he was a child."

"That's right."

Zhuo Yan had already trotted down from his small cave carrying a simple rattan basket. Because he wore animal skins to wrap his feet, he When running downhill, my feet are not comfortable, but luckily my straw shoes are more slip-resistant.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Zhuo Yan stopped in front of several sub-orcs and just stopped, raising a big smile to them, "Good morning, Qiao, Aman, Xiaoxian, Shitou, we Let's pick together!"

Aman snorted in front of Zhuo Yan, "Who wants to come with you?"

Xiao Xian said, "That's right."

Zhuo Yan even stepped forward and said, "That's right." face.

Xiao Xian: His face slowly turned red, and then his original human ears turned into furry, round ears with leopard print, and he snorted.

"Let's go," said Joe.

The five sub-orcs set off, Zhuo Yan followed Qiao, Xiao Xian Aman walked at the front, and Shi Shi remained silent at the end. The five of them are all sub-orcs, but in Zhuo Yan's eyes they are different. The world of orcs is divided into orcs and sub-orcs. Orcs can transform and freely switch between animal and human forms, while sub-orcs cannot transform into animal forms as a whole - -but

!

But come on, when the sub-orcs are emotional or shy, there will be some orc changes. For example, Xiao Xian is a little boy with two round leopard ears. When he says "yes, yes", his furry ears will change when he is excited. Trembling.

Zhuo Yan: Hey hey hey.

Don't blame him for being mean.

Xiao Xian looks like a boy who is only around 14 or 15 years old. In modern times, he is still a child in middle and high school. Furthermore, compared with some obnoxious and foul-mouthed kids in modern times, the orcs here are really well-behaved, sensible, hard-working and kind-hearted.

"Why does he keep touching you?" Aman asked loudly from the front.

Xiao Xian said: "How do I know? It's so disgusting." His furry ears swayed.

"You have to hold back and don't show your ears, otherwise he will think you like him."

"I can't control it."

Zhuo Yan: Hehehehehe.

It's fun to entertain children.

He didn't dare to touch Aman. Aman looked about seventeen or eighteen, tall and had a hot temper. He would say whatever he wanted, but Stone lived up to his name.

The four boys among them - Zhuo Yan passed through the body of an orc with the same name and surname, Zhuo Yanya. He had seen his own reflection by the river. He looked exactly like himself in his sixteenth or seventies, but a little darker, that uniform wheat color. Zhuo Yan I used to think I was too fair, so I went out of my way to tan myself, but later I exercised and developed abdominal muscles. Because of this, I gained a wave of fans.

He didn't want to become a marginal blogger. He really didn't want to, but he was just a fan.

The only woman among the five is Jo.

Among the younger sub-orcs who didn't have a family, Joe was the oldest, the best-tempered and the strongest - in any case, he was the leader of the small group.

Zhuo Yan was bullied by another sub-orc and an orc on the first day after he came across. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground. We will talk about this later. Only Joe extended a helping hand to help him out. The other three sub-orcs, under the leadership of Joe, took turns carrying him back even though they were mumbling displeasure.

Good sister Qiao, good brother!

The early morning sun was very gentle, and its golden light spread over the entire Leopard Man tribe. The orcs and orcs in the tribe started a busy and fulfilling day each performing their duties.

No one would sit idle in a cave, not at the right time.

"Have you eaten?" Qiao turned his head and asked, then took out a piece of meat from his diagonal leather pocket and handed it over, "You can eat it."

The meat was about the size of a sub-orc's fist.

"Thank you, Sister Qiao!" Zhuo Yan was moved to tears and took the barbecue.

The two good brothers in front, Aman said: "Qiao, why are you so good at being a beast?"

"Just-" Xiao Xian just said a word, and when he met Zhuo Yan's smiling eyes, he subconsciously Cover your ears.

Zhuo Yan: "We are all good friends. Sister Qiao gave it to me. If you are hungry, I will share some with you."

"That's no need. Who is the same as you and hasn't saved any meat." Aman was very arrogant.

Qiao looked at Aman, "As you said, he didn't save any meat, and I don't know how Zhuo Yan will survive this winter."

Speaking of winter, Aman's eyes were not so arrogant, and fell on Zhuo Yan with a little sympathy. , I really pity Zhuo Yan, not sarcastically, but a bit serious.

"Go and live in the big cave." Aman suggested.

The little salty stones nodded their heads one after another.

Dadong Zhuoyan knows that the tribe is a collective of old, weak, sick and disabled. The orcs of the Leopard Man tribe continue some of the habits of leopards. For example, they like to live alone and are not gregarious animals. However, because of the dangers of this world and the transformation into human form, everyone still Living together close to mountains and rivers, the small family's caves are separated by some distance.

Maintain privacy.

As soon as Zhuo Yan arrived, he heard everyone saying that winter was coming. The original self was also afraid of the coming of winter, so he cast a net everywhere and hooked up with orcs who were not partners - the original self didn't care if they had romantic partners. The fear of winter made him look for unmarried orcs to attack and court them everywhere.

As a result, the orcs and sub-orcs in the tribe who were just too lazy to tell a little lie suddenly became extremely disgusted by the orcs and sub-orcs in the tribe.

Zhuo Yan has digested the time travel, and he has some memories of his original body. He is shocked that there are orcs. If you watch the movie in modern times, this setting is quite cool - people can transform into beasts, isn't it just the poor who rely on genes? Variation, the rich rely on technology.

And he is poor.

As a result, when he traveled to the world of orcs, he mutated, but not completely, and became a sub-orc.

Crying loudly and beating the wall.

He was in pain all night, and his stomach growled with hunger the next day, reminding him that he was really wearing it and couldn't go back. If he didn't get food, he would starve to death and see if he could go back. If he couldn't go back, he would die. If you die, you will die.

So Zhuo Yan, who was grinding on the stone bed, heard a familiar voice outside, which was the voice of the current small team of sub-orcs. Zhuo Yan relied on his instinct to sit up and became a clingy spirit. This team.

There are certain dangers for sub-orcs when they go out to pick and work, so traveling in a small team is too safe.

"I think the sun is still very strong." Zhuo Yan said and raised his head. The soft and warm sunshine in the early morning became so strong now.

But Qiao said: "The first blizzard will come quickly, and Aman is right."

The weather here was very exaggerated. Ten days ago, it was just early in the morning when we walked to the river and the sun was already a little hot. It was a long day, The temperature is so hot that ordinary human skin would definitely not be able to bear it.

And Zhuoyan's "warm" comfort level.

Although sub-orcs will not transform into beast form, they still have beast genes in their bodies and have very strong survivability capabilities, such as great strength, high agility, good jumping and running speed, and resistance to harsh environments.

After all, it has animal genes.

Zhuo Yan has slowly mastered and explored his new body in the past ten days, trying to understand as scientifically as possible that orcs have dominant leopard beast genes, while sub-orcs have recessive genes.

The five of them walked very quickly. When they arrived at the river, Zhuo Yan washed his face first. He would really feel the climate change. The steps were the same. When they arrived at the river, the sun was still a little 'weak', but it looked brighter and the temperature was not as good as Before.

"I know. I've been trying my best to stock up on food this month. If I can't carry it anymore, I'll go to the big cave." Zhuo Yan held a handful of water in his hand, washed his face, and gargled his mouth.

Zhuo Yan naturally did not dare to take his fear of winter lightly.

The entire tribe is preparing food for the winter.

"Do you know how many days there are in winter?" Zhuo Yan took out the barbecue Sister Qiao gave him and took out the stone knife from the rattan basket to cut it.

Aman said first: "You can eat what you have. I won't eat it if you cut it."

"Then I'll save it for lunch." Zhuo Yan cut into half and wrapped the rest in big tree leaves and looked at Aman , "Brother Aman, you love me so much~"

Aman's face turned red, a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

"I don't feel sorry for you!"

Xiaoxian's furry ears trembled and he whispered, that's all.

Qiao smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, let's stop fighting and let's go on. Today I'm going to pick mud beans and Dudu fruits."

Zhuo Yan knew that mud beans and Dudu fruits are common vegetarian foods near the tribe. , in the season when the rain enriches everything and nourishes the prey to be fat and strong, the orcs will not touch it and eat all kinds of meat.

These two common vegetarian foods are very popular among sub-orcs and are eaten with meat as an embellishment. As the cold winter is coming, the strongest orc hunting team in the tribe must prepare some for each orc family and eat them together with meat. This way the food will survive the winter.

"My grandma also confessed." Xiao Xian said.

Everyone stopped 'fighting' and carried rattan baskets on their backs to the 'safe zone' outside the tribe. At this time, there was a small team of sub-orcs picking. When they saw Qiao, they took a look, and their eyes fell on Zhuo in the team. On Yan's body, there was a clear look of contempt.

"We came here first."

"No more, there's only enough for us."

"You guys can go somewhere else."

"I don't want to pick fruit with that disgusting beast."

The sub-orcs stood in a row opposite. Look at them.

Aman put his hands on his hips and said unhappily: "This belongs to the tribe and belongs to everyone. Why should we leave? If we don't leave, we will just pick it!"

"That's right!" Xiao Xian's furry ears twitched in anger.

Stone also stood in front.

Zhuo Yan: I was so moved, he just said it, Aman is really hard-spoken and soft-hearted, good buddy!

Then he silently walked over and stood in a row with the other three people. He couldn't lose his momentum. The brothers supported him and he couldn't lose his temper, so he stared at the small team on the opposite side with angrily eyes.

Opposite, the sub-orc team leader stood at the front and said, "Qiao, do you want to fight with us?"

Good guy! A letter of challenge was issued. Zhuo Yan said loudly: "Across the way, winter is coming soon. If you provoke us and take the initiative to fight, I will file a severe complaint to the clan leader! Then we will give you all the meat, Dudu fruits, and mud beans as compensation. !"

The team leader on the opposite side: ...

The sub-orcs behind are also scared.

Ahhhhhh, this Zhuo Yan is really annoying!

Chapter 2

Fighting is not worthwhile.

Normally, the orcs in the tribe fight and fight, which can be characterized as 'playing'. Perhaps in the eyes of the orcs, if orcs fight, it is as harmful as if you push me or scratch your hair in a kindergarten.

But there are also different times, except for the period of stocking up food before winter, and fighting is prohibited in the tribe.

Zhuo Yan has some memories of his original body. There should be precedents for the rules set by the clan leader. Orcs and sub-orcs fight for food. If they are injured, it will slow down the progress of stocking up on food. The reason why winter makes the original body afraid , there will also be some extremely hungry beasts attacking the tribe.

The tribe needs strong and healthy orcs to protect them during the winter.

After the small orc team opposite heard Zhuo Yan's complaint and warning, their arrogant momentum suddenly failed, and they said in front of Zhuo Yan: "You are so hateful.", "No wonder no orcs like you.", "This You won't be able to survive without the orcs in winter."

Zhuo Yan said with a smile, "Then you come and beat me! If you beat me, your food will be mine. Beat me~"

Words can't hurt him in the slightest. On the contrary, his words hurt everyone on the other side.

He was so angry that all the orcs across from him were so angry that their faces turned black.

Big win!

Aman laughed out loud and patted Zhuo Yan on the shoulder in turn. Zhuo Yan: ...it hurts.

"Brother Aman, I know you like me, but I'm very delicate~"

It was Aman's turn that the smile on his face stopped suddenly, and he stopped his hand stiffly, "Who likes you!"

"A sub-orc and a sub-orc will starve to death together. "Stone reminded.

Xiao Xian opened his mouth: "Just-"

Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Xian's face, but Xiao Xian ran away with his two furry ears on his face before he could finish his words. After playing around, they divided their camps into picking camps. There were many people on the opposite side, so they occupied the position with the most fruits. Joe looked around and said, "Let's go somewhere else."

"Why, they were happy as soon as we left." Aman was not happy.

Zhuo Yan supported Sister Qiao's decision. He pulled A'man and said as he walked: "There isn't much here. We are hoarding food to survive the winter. We can't have enough to eat due to fighting with others."

"That's right." Xiao Xian He shook his ears and said weakly.

Aman thought so, so he happily carried the rattan basket and said, let's go quickly.

During this season, no beasts without eyes will break into the tribe - this is not to provide meat to the tribe. The entire tribe is based on the mountain. The Leopard Clan's caves are scattered around the mountain. Not long after coming down, there is a winding river. The territory within the river is the safest. There are many trees with fruits growing on them.

You have to go farther outside the river. It's not as safe as the inside, but it's not particularly dangerous. The orcs have marked it. There is an orc scent, and no large beasts will come.

Having made their decision, the five of them didn't say much, and carried bamboo baskets around the wide river until they reached a narrow one where they could pass through. Zhuo Yan took off his "socks" and put them in his arms, otherwise it would be more uncomfortable if they got wet. Anyway, the weather is hot now.

To be honest, the original person used to be lazy and timid, so he rarely crossed the river to go out while picking. Therefore, this was Zhuo Yan's first time going out, and he was still very new to the outside 'world'.

"Walk through this forest and listen to my father say that there is grassland outside." After Aman finished speaking, he noticed that Zhuo Yan had been holding his hand, so he stared at Zhuo Yan with wide eyes.

Zhuo Yan looked innocently: "Brother Aman, did you forget what you were holding me for?"

Aman said angrily, "I'm not, I forgot."

"Pick it." Qiao interrupted the upcoming quarrel.

Everyone worked very quickly, and Aman stopped arguing, "There are so many Dudu fruits! My grandma likes to eat this."

Dudu fruits grow on trees, and the trees here are very tall, seven or eight meters high, with many branches. Ye Mao. But I heard from Aman that when his father and several brothers went hunting, there would be taller and denser woods.

Zhuo Yan's more detailed understanding of the tribe and outside the tribe came from a few friends.

Aman, Qiao, Xiaoxian and Shitou are all members of a large family of orcs with parents, older brothers and sisters. Because of the leopard beast's habit of living alone, after the children get married, they have to dig their own holes and move out to live in a small family.

Those who are minors and have no partners continue to live with their parents.

Usually everyone is in charge of their own business. Only before winter, the capable elders will ask the younger ones if they need meat and how the food is, and vice versa.

The strong young orc will prepare some food for his father and mother's cave after preparing a small house.

Although it is a primitive orc world, blood is passed down and the concept of family affection is also there.

Like Zhuo Yan, sub-orcs who are underage and live alone in caves without a partner are rare in the tribe. In the memory of his original body, Zhuo Yan's orc father died in the winter five years ago.

It was a beast attack. My father was seriously injured while protecting the tribe and died without being able to survive. After that, Zhuo Yan's mother lived with Zhuo Yan for a year. Another winter, a sub-orc took a cub of sub-orc. Although the tribe leader allocated some food, it was still very difficult.

Single sub-orcs can consider partnering with orcs, but it is just a habit of the leopard tribe. Few orcs will raise other orcs' cubs, especially sub-orcs, who cannot hunt.

At that time, Zhuo Yan was still young, a young and fragile sub-orc. It would be difficult for a person to grow up alive without his grandmother, so his grandmother stayed. The mother and son depended on each other, and their uncle usually helped him. Unfortunately...

the original body was against The fear of winter is not without reason.

When he first received the intermittent memories, Xiao Zhuoyan was afraid of the coming of winter, so he felt desperate and went crazy looking for orcs. However, in the tribe, the aesthetics of orcs were like Aman Shitou and Qiao.

The healthy beauty of being tall, fit, and muscular.

Zhuo Yan is too thin and too young. Orcs look at Zhuo Yan as a child. No orc would like little Zhuo Yan with their aesthetic appreciation of a partner.

Fortunately, fortunately.

He is only sixteen or seventeen now, and the most important thing is that sub-orcs can give birth to cubs! If he comes through and his belly gets bigger, he will lose all hope and simply starve to death.

"Hey, you bastard, do you want a Dudu fruit?"

The voice above interrupted Zhuo Yan's trance. When he looked up, Aman had climbed to the top. He quickly found the branch of the tree and sat down. He took out a stone knife from his pocket.

"Brother Aman, I want it, but you pick it for yourself first, and I'll dig out the mud beans." Zhuo Yan said.

"Don't call me that! It's too weird."

"Okay, brother Aman~" Zhuo Yan's tone deliberately floated.

The distance was too high and too far, but he could see the wonderful expressions on Aman's face keenly. His eyesight was too good.

Aman mumbled and finally said, don't bother with the beast, it's going to be winter soon, who knows...

Zhuo Yan under the tree: Wow~ He also has very good hearing.

I thought it was because everyone spoke openly, but I didn't expect that it was also due to my physical sensitivity.

It feels a bit mutated. Although it has changed, it has not completely changed. Zhuo Yan comforted himself that he had "superpowers", that he was well dressed and had already started working.

The dudu fruits are on the trees and the mud beans are under the ground and need to be dug.

In the past ten days, Zhuo Yan has always been a clingy spirit and took the initiative to stick to Qiao's small team. The four of them split up and picked in the river basin before. Aman Xiaoxian climbed trees very quickly, and Shitou Qiao was responsible for the mud beans.

At first, Joe ignored him and didn't drive him away.

Today Qiao said: "Zhuo Yan, can you dig mud beans in this land?"

"Yes, yes, I can dig it very easily, very quickly."

"What heart and hands?" Aman asked from the tree, and he was full of beans by the way. A basket of Dudu fruits was thrown down. Aman climbed down from the tree and poured the fruits into the basket.

Zhuo Yan answered first: "I work very quickly, which means I am a skilled worker."

The shell of the Dudu fruit is hard, the size of a child's fist, and it is as big as a grape. In the enlarged version, if you throw it down from a high place, the fruit will There will also be cracked fruits if they are scattered. In order to store them easily, put them in rattan baskets first. This will reduce the number of scattered fruits and make them easier to take back.

"Then I don't know what to do."

"It's handy."

Aman wrote it down and repeated it, "You talk so weird." After emptying the fruit from the cane basket, he continued to climb the tree. Zhuo Yan didn't say much and started pulling out the vines in the area designated by Qiao.

Mud beans - beans that grow in the ground, a bit like potatoes. Zhuo Yan once dug up taro, which was about the size of an adult's fist. There are differences in taste between the two types, but the tribe doesn't care and they are collectively called mud beans.

Everyone worked all morning and chatted occasionally, and soon there were two piles of food, Dudu fruits and mud beans, piled on the flat land in the middle.

During the break, everyone went to the river to drink water and eat the food they brought.

Zhuo Yan wiped his sweat, and the wind blew away the heat. It was indeed cold. When he raised his head and looked around, he couldn't help but be surprised. He saw a few hundred meters away -

"There is an animal drinking water." Zhuo Yan squinted his eyes and confirmed, "Is it a piglet?"

"It's a baby piglet. " Joe answered.

Aman's face showed regret, "Why am I not an orc, otherwise I would have had roast pork for lunch today."

"That's right."

Shitou also stared at the tooth pig in the distance and swallowed.

"It should be possible for the five of us to deal with a cub and a piglet, right?" Zhuo Yan was a little eager to give it a try, and if it didn't work, he could make a trap or something.

Aman looked at Zhuo Yan and was speechless. Qiao explained: "The tooth pig has a very sensitive sense of smell, and if the cub drinks water, its mother should be nearby."

"The fastest stone among us, over there, The cub will definitely find that its howling will attract its mother." Aman pointed at a distance of ten meters and gestured again, "Have you never seen a toothed pig? Its mother's teeth are so long and strong. It's so big that it can pierce a person."

Zhuo Yan was secretly surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect Yazhu's sense of smell to be so sensitive.

"Then can the orcs be caught?"

This question was like a joke, and even the stone smiled. Aman was too lazy to explain, and looked at the tooth pig baby with a little pity.

Qiao said: "Orcs can do it. I have seen my eldest and second brothers carrying three tooth pigs back."

"Three?" Zhuo Yan was shocked.

Joe nodded and smiled. It was the most full meal their family had ever had in a while.

"So you had this idea? Hey, you bastard, Qiao's eldest brother got married and moved out. His second brother won't like you." Aman said suddenly.

Zhuo Yan:? ? ?

"Aman, you are so excited. Does Joe's second brother like you? Or do you like him?" Throwing the question back, he saw Aman's face turn red and said what nonsense he was talking about.

Zhuo Yan spread his hands: "I'm just talking nonsense like you."

"What and what."

Shitou suddenly said, "Look."

The sound of the people playing around stopped, and they looked at Yazhu again along the river. At the cub's location, there was suddenly an extra one - a cub?

The silvery white one has patterns, like a leopard, but smaller in size.

Not like an adult orc.

Zhuo Yan thought it was an underage orc in the tribe. It was the first time he saw an orc hunting in animal form, and he was still a little excited and curious. Among the sub-orcs in the tribe, the orcs were highly skilled in hunting and were very powerful.

He looked over with interest and said, "This is my first time seeing a white-haired leopard. Is this a snow leopard?" But in fact, snow leopards are not white-haired either.

But we are in the world of primitive orcs, so it is normal that they are different from modern animals.

"I don't know what you are talking about Snow Leopard, he..." Aman's tone was very complicated, with some contempt and some sympathy.

Zhuo Yan noticed it and turned his head to see that everyone had different expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong? Isn't this white-haired leopard cub from our tribe? A real leopard beast?"

Then he has to run away.

Don't just watch the excitement and become someone else's lunch.

Chapter 3

The original person Xiao Zhuoyan used to say he was lazy, but Zhuo Yan understood that it was more timid and had a deep fear of the outside world, so the places he used to frequent were mostly areas where sub-orcs were active.

"Have you forgotten him?" Aman asked first.

Zhuo Yan searched hard for his memory, and said tentatively: "It seems, a little, memory, but not much, is it -?"

"He is the one in the tribe who has never been able to transform." Qiao explained, looking into the distance, inaudible Sighing, "Maybe it's because his grandmother is a werewolf."

Zhuo Yan:! Eyes widened.

Can Leopards and Werewolves have children across species?

"I know, I heard my grandma say that it was during the Yuren trade that Bai Mao's father and his grandma met. Later, Baimao's grandma was not used to our tribe and went back, leaving Baimao behind. "Xiao Xian finished in one breath.

Aman hummed, "It's a pity that after so many years, I should have transformed long ago, but Bai Mao has never transformed."

"Is it because of the mixed race, or the differences between the werewolf and leopard tribes, that the transformation was unsuccessful?" Zhuo Yan put forward the reasoning. .

Qiao said no, there were examples in the past where people transformed successfully.

"That's right, it's not like you're partnering with a feathered person. If you're partnering with a feathered or sea person, that won't work." Aman said bluntly, "Didn't your Excellency tell you?"

He spoke too quickly, and by the time he finished speaking, Only then did he realize that Zhuo Yan's master was gone.

"What about that? In one or two years, you will be almost an adult and can have a partner. Let me tell you, it is better to find an orc in the tribe. The others are fine too. It can't be someone who flies in the sky. You can't give birth to cubs if you swim in the sea." Like an elder, Aman made amends for his earlier embarrassment.

Zhuo Yan nodded, "That's it, thank you Aman."

Aman waved his hand to say thank you, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It's fine that the beast-hating guy didn't get angry just now, but how could he care about a beast-hating guy? Angry with him.

Zhuo Yan learned about the bigger world again.

There are also sea people and feather people.

Then again -

"What would happen if I didn't transform into a human being?" Zhuo Yan asked.

For a moment, the faces of the friends were ugly, and there were also expressions of sympathy and resignation. Qiao said in a calm tone: "If the transformation is not successful, it is not a beast, it is a beast."

"Beasts have their own territory."

"If a beast hurts people, they will be kicked out."

Zhuo Yan looked into the distance, the beast The white furry pig was slowly approaching the baby pig. When the gap was more than ten meters, the baby noticed it and ran away, howling at the same time. Almost instantly, the white fluffy pig ran towards the baby at an extremely fast speed. , amidst the lightning and thunder, he held down the cub and bit it.

But there was another tooth pig - hiding in the grass not far away. It was huge, twice as big as Bai Mao. The teeth in its mouth were very sharp and it was spitting out. This one should be the mother of the cub, and she was going crazy at the moment. Hitting Bai Mao, knocking Bai Mao to the ground.

Bai Mao rolled over on all fours and stood up. The cub's mother, the big-tusked pig, continued to bump into it. Bai Mao's speed was not as fast as before. Finally, Bai Mao climbed up a tree and had a little time to breathe.

The tusked pig under the tree was still hitting the tree, trying to knock off the white fur on it.

"Is Baimao in danger?" Zhuo Yan asked.

No one answered him.

Shitou said first that someone is here.

Zhuo Yan wondered where there was someone, but he hadn't asked yet. A person suddenly jumped out of the jungle weeds a hundred meters away, but he turned into a leopard in an instant. The tooth pig under the tree didn't respond. The leopard hit the giant toothed pig with one strike, and its sharp teeth directly bit off the toothed pig's neck.

Quick, agile, kill.

A hunt of absolute power.

The power of the orcs.

"It's from the patrol team." Aman said, with unconcealed admiration and a bit of sourness in his eyes, "This is the hunting of orcs."

Xiao Xian: "That's right."

The young tooth pig lost its way and was attracted by the water source. The mother came to look for her, but both of them left their lives here.

The primitive world is like this, the weak eat the strong.

Zhuo Yan was also shocked. He saw the leopard turned into a human again, casually wrapped in leather as a skirt, carrying such a big toothed pig without any effort at all - both of them.

Whatever the patrol finds belongs to the tribe, and naturally a part of it will be given to the hunters.

When the leopards on the patrol left, the white fur on the tree fell down, and it was unsteady when walking. The white fur was faintly red. I don't know if it was injured or stained with the blood of the pig.

Hopefully it's the latter.

Zhuo Yan thought.

The white-haired leopard was obviously not yet an adult. It was two sizes smaller than the leopard on the patrol just now. I don't know if it was because it was bigger near and smaller than the other. The white-haired one looked a little skinny.

"Go back."

"I'll bake some mud beans later."

"Okay, okay."

"I really want to eat roasted pig, it's delicious."

Zhuo Yan followed the small team, looked back at Bai Mao, and said Among the green and yellow dry grass and trees, the color of the white fur was a little too conspicuous, and the white fur went away from the direction of the tribe.

Don't know where to go.

"Does he have no chance?"

The friend in front turned to look at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan said: "Is that Bai Mao really no chance to transform? I think he is quite young, maybe wait a little longer."

" Baimao seems to be as big as Xiaoxian," Aman said.

That means fourteen or fifteen years old? Zhuo Yan: "Isn't there still a chance?"

"What chance? Don't you know? Forget it, you don't know. You don't have orc brothers, brothers, sisters." Aman muttered first, and then explained: "My family My sister and brother first transformed when they were ten years old."

Qiao explained in more detail, "We first transformed from animal form to human form when we were four or five months old. "

This is the most intense growth. The furry fur that is born can be raised to five or six months old, and it will transform into a human when the child is five or six years old. Of course, there are also some that will take shape later, no later than seven months.

Humans will transform for the second time when they are about ten years old. Those who can fully transform into beasts are orcs, and those who cannot transform into beasts are sub-orcs - regardless of gender.

"If he can still transform, Xiao Xian will also have the opportunity to transform into a beast." Aman said.

Xiao Xian: "I also want to be an orc, but I asked my mother and brother. I can't do it anymore."

The last person who transformed into an animal form was twelve or thirteen years old, and never older than fourteen.

"Don't even think about Bai Mao. Even Bai Mao can really transform. He's so thin and he can't hunt. He can't bite the thickest part of the pig's skin. If you become a partner, you will still be hungry." Aman looked at Zhuo Yan kept asking about Baimao in order to dispel Zhuo Yan's thoughts.

Zhuo Yan:? ? ?

"I'm not I didn't."

He swore that he really had no thoughts about a white-haired beast, and he was not crazy. He wanted to get married when he saw an orc!

Faced with Zhuo Yan's denial, Aman obviously didn't believe it.

"Why do you keep asking Baimao?"

Zhuo Yan looked up at the sky, and then Yun Danfeng said softly: "Maybe it's because I am a gossip."

"What is a gossip?" Xiao Xian was curious.

Zhuo Yan: "I just like to join in the fun, listen to the trivial life stories of other orcs and sub-orcs, and chat together."

"Oh oh oh."

Aman glanced at Zhuo Yan, walked a few steps and looked at Zhuo Yan again, and finally arrived The picking place is still looking at Zhuoyan. Zhuo Yan: ...

"Brother Aman, do you like me?" He really doubted it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Aman was angry and looked away, not daring to look. He just muttered: "I think you are talking weird now, always saying things I don't understand. Were you this weird before? Zhuo Yan was not afraid of being

discovered, so he said casually: "I didn't like to go out before, and I didn't have many friends. Everyone disliked me. No one talked to me, so I just talked to myself."

"How pitiful." Said loudly.

Qiao patted Zhuo Yan on the shoulder and said, "Let's continue."

Everyone started working again.

However, in the afternoon, Xiaoxian started to talk more, talking about things in his cave. Aman would occasionally talk about it, but it was mostly about trivial matters about the orcs who were out hunting. Zhuo Yan only realized later that what these two brothers wanted to do was Tell him gossip because he loves to hear it.

囧囧有神.

Very touched too.

Zhuo Yan felt a touch of warmth in this world for the second time. The first time was brought by Qiao.

Before sunset, today's picking was over. There were piles of Dudu fruits and mud beans on the ground. Qiao divided them into five portions, and everyone took them home. It would be impossible to get them all at one time, so it would need to be done in two stages.

"Don't you need someone to stay and watch?" Zhuo Yan asked.

Xiao Xian was surprised: "Look what it's doing. No wild beasts will come here, and they won't eat this."

"He said other sub-orcs." Aman guessed it, and said straightforwardly: "We picked this , no one else will take it."

Zhuo Yan nodded.

Everyone in this world is very straightforward and open-minded.

The first time he went back, Zhuo Yan carried as much as possible, so a basket of mud beans was scattered and difficult to carry, while the Dudu fruit has a stem and a hard outer shell that will not fall off easily, so it can be hung on the arm.

"Let me get it for you." Shitou said.

Zhuo Yan looked at the pile of stones with only one face showing, and said no, I can do that. But he gritted his teeth and didn't get up for the first time. Gritting his teeth again still didn't work, so he obediently put down the two bunches of Dudu fruits and only carried two bunches back with his left and right hands.

"Let's go." If that didn't work, he would make two more trips.

Seeing this, the others set off for home.

After crossing the river, we returned to the tribe. Among the five people, the first cave was Zhuo Yan's house. His house was the closest to the outside. Zhuo Yan looked at Shitou and silently helped Xiao Xian carry the basket with one hand. With a smile on his face, he said to the big guys: "I'll wait for a while." I may have to make three trips before you can get there first."

"Okay, hurry up before it's too late," Qiao warned.

"I know, Sister Qiao!"

But in fact, Zhuo Yan still went there in the end, because Shitou and Aman took the most the first time. The second time, Shitou helped Xiao Xian share half of it, and Aman helped him get some.

Everyone is doing well.

When I finally went back, the world was dark.

"You guys go back quickly, I will carry the rest up slowly by myself." Zhuo Yan told everyone.

The other people were also polite. Aman put the disgusting fruit on the ground, and the four of them walked home quickly. By the way, they made an appointment to continue tomorrow. Zhuo Yan said that he would bring roasted mud beans tomorrow, meaning that Sister Qiao did not need to give them to him. Grilled.

The cave Zhuo Yan lives in is on the hillside. One person can take down the cave at the bottom of the slope in two times. When he turned back the second time to pack it up, the light was very dark. When he looked up, he could see some stars and the moon was very dark. Fortunately, it was night for the orcs. Sight lines will also be great.

It's quite novel.

To be honest, being alone is a bit scary. Zhuo Yan picked up the remaining mud beans and put them in a basket, humming randomly. A gust of cool wind blew his little leather skirt, and there were some gasps not far behind him.

Zhuo Yan:! ! !

The hair on my hair stood up instantly.

"Who!"

"Who is there!"

"I saw you."

He was being stubborn, but he didn't see it. Woohoo.

But for a moment, Zhuo Yan really saw it. A furry thing jumped out from the thigh-high weeds in the distance. He was so frightened that Zhuo Yan's legs went weak. This, this -

"White hair?"

Zhuo Yan recognized it. It was noon. I have seen Bai Mao, who failed to hunt a pig cub. At this moment, he was very close to Bai Mao, about three meters away. It was different from what he saw from a distance at noon. Bai Mao was very big, like the round head of a leopard. Like a wolf's face, a pair of eyes glowed faintly.

This white hair won't eat him!

Xiao Xian said that orcs who cannot evolve are just beasts.

Ahhhhhhhh! ! !

"Don't eat me, I haven't taken a shower, and my flesh is sore from sweating today..."

Chapter 4

Bai Mao looked at him feebly, then walked around and left.

The whole open space, the cool breeze, Zhuo Yan in the small leather skirt stood for more than ten seconds. When he came to his senses, he saw the direction of Bai Mao, and he was almost out of sight.

Bai Mao is really gone.

The look in Bai Mao's eyes just now seemed not to be filled with murderous intent, but rather a kind of hollow numbness. After calming down, Zhuo Yan recalled the scene just now -

he couldn't blame him for making a fuss.

It's really scary.

He used to go to the zoo to buy tickets for the beast area by car. There was an iron fence between them. He would feel scared if the tiger came closer, let alone the distance of three meters just now. From that distance, a slap from Fuzzy could kill him.

"Today is different from the past, Zhuo Yan. You are also half an orc now. You are a half-orc, a sub-orc. The genes of the beast are flowing in your body. Don't be timid, be brave and brave."

Zhuo Yan said to himself to encourage himself, After cleaning up the mud beans, he quickly ran back to his cave, and even sang a song to encourage the orcs, and the whole cave echoed with his tuneless song.

His hole is very big. After all, Xiao Zhuoyan's parents worked hard together. The entrance of the hole is also quite large, with a radius of two meters and a semicircle, which is convenient for entering and exiting prey, but now it seems that a door is needed.

The room has more than thirty square meters inside and is nearly four meters high. It is not very depressing.

There is a stone bed in the innermost part with several skins on it. In the middle of the hole is a fire, used for cooking, a large stone pot and a stone slab. Other areas are empty and can be used to store food.

Coupled with the fact that there was a fire in the cave for a long time, the cave was quite dry and not very humid.

In the past ten days, Zhuo Yan joined the small team. At first, he didn't know what to do. He was confused for a few days, doing whatever everyone did. The beans and firewood were all moved home, but -

"There is still less." Zhuo Yan Looking at the firewood against the wall.

The longer he stayed in the tribe, listened to other friends' descriptions, and digested his original fear of winter, it became clear to Zhuo Yan that the firewood picked up in the past few days would definitely not be enough to survive the entire winter.

Qiao and the others have enough firewood because they use it for cooking and a certain amount of heating. Qiao and his family all have orcs at home, which transform into animal shapes when it's the coldest. This is the best and most effective way to keep warm.

Zhuo Yan can't do it. Zhuo Yan only has one person.

Therefore, the tribe said that without the orcs, it would be difficult for the sub-orcs to survive this winter. In the past, when Xiao Zhuoyan's grandmother was here, she would store as much mud beans and fruits as firewood. However, as we got further back, the winter was so long that it seemed endless to Xiao Zhuoyan. The food in the back was almost gone. After eating one meal for three days, the cold made the mother and son huddle in the innermost part of the cave and shiver.

At this moment, Zhuo Yan lit a fire with a flint stone in the dark. The flames in the cave dispelled the darkness and took away the fear to a certain extent.

Zhuo Yan roasted the mud beans on the edge and let them rest.

Really, really, really tired.

He got up early this morning and worked all morning. He rested for less than an hour at noon. He estimated based on his feelings and worked until the afternoon. Now his arms are sore, his shoulders have indentations, and his whole body must be smelly and dirty.

Zhuo Yan did not dare to go out of the cave to wash up and looked at the empty cave entrance.

"Let's make another door before winter comes, and - get up early tomorrow and take a bath."

Now he didn't want to go anywhere.

The flames engulfed the last firewood, and the light in the cave slowly dimmed. Zhuo Yan opened the mud beans, blew on them, split them in two, and ate the clean food inside.

If Sister Qiao hadn't given him a piece of meat today, he would have not eaten meat for ten days.

For someone who loves meat, meat tastes so good.

Zhuo Yan gnawed the mud beans as meat, rolled his hot tongue, and blew in a haha, and then laughed out loud because of himself, saying to himself that it was nothing, there would be meat sooner or later.

After finishing the mud beans, Zhuo Yan walked to the bed, wrapped himself in the animal skin and fell asleep.

This night, Zhuo Yan had another dream. It was different from the dreams of the past few days. In the past few days, he kept dreaming of modern dreams when he closed his eyes, and then traveled back in time in the blink of an eye. Or maybe it was a dream that he ran to the world of orcs, but today it turned out to be different.

In the dream, he became the white-haired boy and saw the young tooth pig drinking water by the river without any worries.

Grilled tooth pig, grilled tooth pig, fragrant tooth pig baby, the meat must be very tender, the roasted golden butter is sizzling...

Zhuo Yan swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, he was an orc, he slowly approached and pressed it with a pounce A tusked pig cub, amidst lightning and thunder, he still has some experience, so he can't just chew it out of hunger, he needs to kill it with one blow.

So he bared his teeth and bit into the tooth pig's neck.

Qiao and others cheered for him and said: "Zhuo Yan, you are so awesome. How could you catch such a beast? That's it."

He treated his friends to a barbecue.

Hahahahaha, it smells so good and refreshing.

Zhuo Yan woke up from the dream, and when he touched his mouth, he drooled. He said that in the dream, the roasted meat was golden and charred, and the meat was three-quarters fat and seven-quarters thin, and the barbecue shone in the sun must be delicious.

It's impossible not to drool.

When he woke up, he still had a lot of thoughts, because Zhuo Yan had never eaten pork, so he woke up in the dream when the meat was roasted, "Damn it." He beat the bed, "It hurts, it hurts."

Zhuo Yan bared his teeth, amused by himself.

He pondered over the contents of his dream for a few minutes on the stone bed before getting up. He was not going to sleep anymore. He had to take a bath today, clean up the cave, and roast some mud beans for breakfast.

Mr. Zhuo Yan was so angry that he buried three mud beans in it, then went to the river to wash up, and cut his long hair short with a stone knife. He also carefully trimmed his uneven, ear-length hair in front of the reflection on the river - the stone knife was not It's very easy to use, but if it's any shorter it's very difficult, and he gets tired after lifting his arms for a long time.

I brushed my teeth with a branch, washed my face, and took a bath. I went home refreshed and dried myself around the fire to keep warm.

The first stroke of the third correct character was engraved on the wall. Today is the eleventh day.

"Is Zhuo Yan dead?"

"I heard that wolves howled here last night."

"He was taken away by a wolf because he was disgusted with the beast? He hasn't spent the winter yet."

"Ah! Zhuo Yan is dead?"

In the house Zhuo Yan:? ? ?

What are the friends talking about under his cave?

Zhuo Yan flashed to the entrance of the cave with the rattan basket on his back and looked at the people discussing loudly below, "Who is dead?"

"!!!"

"??"

The faces of several people were confused.

Zhuo Yan ran down quickly, "What did you say?"

"You're not dead." Aman.

Xiao Xian: "When we came here, we heard someone say that there was a wolf howling here last night."

"Did you meet Baimao?" Aman guessed and said seriously: "Baimao was kicked out by his beast father. He must have not eaten for several days. If he is hungry-"

"No, no." Zhuo Yan denied it first, everyone was looking at him.

"Okay, I met Bai Mao last night, but he didn't hurt me. I sang because I was scared. The ghostly cries and howls that others vaguely heard might be my singing."

His singing wasn't very hard to hear.

Others were dubious, and Aman said: "Don't really want to get married to Bai Mao -"

"Ahhhh!" He went crazy on the spot.

Aman stopped talking immediately, and the others looked at Zhuo Yan in confusion, but no one spoke.

Zhuo Yan: Very good, effectively controlling four people for half a minute.

"First of all, I have no intention of marrying Bai Mao, and he didn't hurt me. I can't let my words get out. The tribe will drive Bai Mao out by then. Winter is coming soon. If he is kicked out, he will definitely not survive. "

It doesn't matter to you whether he lives or not. You said you weren't worried about him." Aman felt that he was right.

Zhuo Yan: ...

Qiao spoke up, "Zhuo Yan, are you pitiful for Bai Mao?"

"Sister Qiao, you understand me!" Zhuo Yan nodded like garlic, and everyone walked out together.

Shitou and Aman don't understand "pity" or "sympathize" with Bai Mao. It's not that they don't understand. This world is a cruel reality. Everyone carries the gene of the beast. The fittest survive and the weak eat the strong. Bai Mao's evolution failed. For the two of them, That is the real beast.

The common meat recipe for orcs and sub-orcs is - beast.

So when you think about it, why should you be pitiful?

Several people, including the tough-talking Aman, would have some sympathy for Zhuo Yan, but they would not have such thoughts towards a beast.

"Actually, I used to play with Baimao when I was little. My grandma said, when I was still in the body of a cub." Xiao Xian spoke.

He also understood what Qiao said and what Zhuo Yan meant.

"But it's such a pity."

Xiao Xian sympathized with him, and there was nothing he could do about the unevolved beast.

"It can't be something that has never happened before. For example, Bai Mao didn't hurt me, but I talked nonsense and made him hurt." After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, he didn't plan to go further on this issue. He was very afraid that Aman would continue with him. Breaking off one's head and marrying Bai Mao are about this matter.

"Bring you a song about Orcs."

Several other people were curious, "What Orcs?", "Is there another half of Orcs?", "What is a song? The beast is saying something I can't understand again." "

Zhuo Yan cleared his throat and started singing.

"There is no longer a pure white soul. Since humans fell into half-orcs, I began to use the first person to record everything that happened in front of me...maintain the symbol of pure white, and then return to human..." The

golden sunshine in the morning filled the Leopard Man Tribe River Beside, a scattered team of sub-orcs set out to pick. Among the small team was a young orc with ear-length hair, bright eyes, a small face, and a layer of golden light on his skin illuminated by the sun. The little orc had a smile on his face and an incomprehensible tune coming from his mouth.

At this time, the tribal leopard people still didn't understand what a song was.

But hearing that little sub-orc shouting like that, he was quite energetic.

After Zhuo Yan finished singing a song, he thought that his performance today was much better than last night. It was almost 100%. He couldn't help but ask: "How was it? Not bad, I didn't sing well last night."

Qiao: "I am first ." Listen, okay."

Xiao Xian: "That's right."

Shitou also nodded.

Only Aman said, "You are disgusting with animals, but you still said you don't like white-haired boys!"

Zhuo Yan:? ? ?

"You've already sung, what's pure white? White-haired boys are white." Aman found the evidence plausibly.

Zhuo Yan: ...

No, I really don't have it. Is there someone like Mr. Qingtang who will come out to solve the case? ! !

A few people waded across the river while joking and laughing, but the five of them didn't notice that there was a white-fluffy beast in the grass dozens of meters away. This was the white-haired boy last night.

The white-haired boy was driven out by his father. He had no hole to live in. He circled around and did not go deep into the tribe. The sub-orcs and orcs hated him. They were afraid of being driven away, so they found a lonely weed pile. At this moment, the white-haired boy struggled to support his front body. He had not eaten for three days. The hair on his abdomen was knotted and the color was muddy and dark red. He was injured yesterday and his whole animal shape was thin. His eyes were originally dull. , there was a faint glimmer of light, looking in the direction of the small team of sub-orcs.

...But he is just a beast.

"Sister Qiao, when will you come back in winter?" Zhuo Yan asked business.

Qiao looked at the sky and said, "My father said that it has been getting cold very quickly recently. It may be more than ten days away."

"Ah?" For more than ten days, Zhuo Yan saw that the weather was still early autumn, so he always thought that it might be cold. A month later, I didn't expect to go through winter so soon. "Then I have to hurry up. I also want to make a door."

Several people looked at Zhuo Yan: "What is a door?

" "

Zhuo Yan: "One is installed at the entrance of the cave to protect it from the cold and snow. I've made it and invite you to visit."

"Are you going to move a stone to block the entrance of the cave?" Shitou asked.

This is how the more sophisticated holes are done. Moving large rocks during the day - this is done by orcs, who can easily remove it.

"You don't have any orcs. If you move the rocks, we can help. But you won't be able to come out. Are you going to stay in the cave all winter? If it snows, I won't come out." Aman said.

Zhuo Yan was still thinking about how to open the door. It was dangerous to withstand the severe cold, so the door must be thicker.

"Not even the white-haired boy. Don't think about the white-haired boy."

Zhuo Yan: It's not that I don't...forget it, let's leave it at that. I'm tired.

Chapter 5:

After digging for mud beans and Dudu fruits for three consecutive days, the area dug by the team was thoroughly cleaned. On the fourth day, the cave had become a small mountain, and Zhuo Yan, who had carried it all these days in one breath, was really tired. I can't carry it anymore.

He decided to give himself a day off—not to do anything at all.

"It's not that I don't work, I almost couldn't get up today. I have to tidy up the cave, put the fruits and mud beans separately, and bring in more firewood. I need to clean the cave and tidy up the leather while the weather is nice. And I want to do some work."

Zhuo Yan was afraid that some people would misunderstand that he was lazy. Indeed, the high-intensity work was really tiring. In fact, he had been busy in the past ten days, and now he really wanted to "fish".

Unexpectedly, Shitou laughed first, "I thought you weren't tired."

"That's right, I'm so tired these days. My grandma said I was particularly diligent this time." Xiao Xian breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his arms.

Zhuo Yan opened his eyes slightly and realized that he had misunderstood.

It seems that everyone is very tired.

He was also afraid that he would slow down everyone's progress.

"I didn't expect you didn't complain about being tired this time, so we kept following you. In fact, when we returned to the cave last night, Xiao Xian and A Man said they were tired and that there was no room to put Dudu fruits and mud beans in the cave. It was enough. I'm afraid you won't have enough," Qiao explained with a smile.

There is no work today, Aman bared his big white teeth and was very happy.

"I gritted my teeth and kept up." Zhuo Yan also laughed, a little relaxed, "By the way, I want to find clean bubble leaves. My grandma used to find them, but now I want to do it myself. You know Where is it?"

"This is a bit far away." Qiao was a little worried, "It's not around our tribe. My father saw it when he went hunting and brought it back. I'll get some for you first."

Zhuo Yan asked. He asked politely, "Do you have enough holes in your house?"

"Yes."

Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Qiao!" He was not polite.

Qiao went back to get bubble leaves for Zhuo Yan, while several others stood outside to bask in the sun and chat. Aman moved his arms, swung them around, and asked, "Aren't you going to make a door? How do you make that door?"

"That's right." After Xiao Xian finished speaking, he covered his ears.

Zhuo Yan's hands were a little itchy, and he showed a "you're lucky" expression, which made Xiao Xian even happier, feeling that he had been very clever and clever enough to avoid it just now. Zhuo Yancai said: "We need wood."

"Ah? Big wood? We can't use big wood, and your stone knife can't do it." Aman frowned.

Zhuo Yan: "A small piece of wood will be fine."

"Then we can." Shitou said.

Zhuo Yan knew that Aman actually wanted to help him with today's work when he opened the door. Otherwise, he would not be able to do it alone. He couldn't help but said: "Brother Aman~~~"

"Ahhhh, don't call me that!" Aman shook his arms and stopped hugging. Just run away.

Zhuo Yan: Hahahahahaha.

Shitou Xiaoxian was very happy.

Aman is a very coquettish and coquettish person. Although he keeps calling him a beast, it doesn't matter. Zhuo Yan doesn't care about it. When we go out to play, no one in the friend group has a code name.

Akimbo.

There are no mobile phones in this world, and there are very few entertainment activities. Everyone just works. When the weather is nice, the Leopards also like to bask in the sun - but they are not allowed to be too idle at this stage.

After passing the time and joking, everyone was in better spirits. Zhuo Yan went to the cave to get his leather and stone knife. The leather at home was hard and dirty, so he was not afraid of water - he didn't handle it well at first.

Zhuo Yan remembers the process of making sheepskin fur in "Tiangong Kaiwu". The leather in his family didn't even have to scrape off the grease. It was washed and dried with bubble leaves to make it hard. Fortunately, it didn't stink - in fact, it did have a faint smell. He always thought that it smelled bad if it was not cleaned for too long.

Could it be the smell of sebum?

But there is no way, there is no skin tanner, it takes a long time to really tan a fresh leather, and it is definitely too late now, so we can only process it on this basis.

"You're an annoyance to beasts. If you soak your skin in water, it will harden and make you no longer warm." Aman saw several people arriving at the river and hurriedly ran over and said.

Zhuo Yan knocked on his leather, making a 'bang bang' sound.

"It's already very hard."

"It's not hard." Aman said, "It's the same at home, but it's warm."

"That's right." Xiao Xian.

Zhuo Yan: ...It seems that everyone in the tribe has the same approach.

"If you're afraid of getting dirty, just wait until the first snow falls and rub it in the snow."

Zhuo Yan thought for a moment, "You're right." So he took out the largest piece of leather and handed it to To Aman, "Hold it for me first." If you don't take care of this one, the other two will go into the water.

"Hey, why are you still throwing it in?" Aman was anxious.

Zhuo Yan: "Anyway, there's one more. I've had enough sleep alone. I'll give the rest a try."

"You're really weird." Aman said, holding tightly the skin of the beast. , "If your grandma were here, she would definitely twist your ears."

That was really a slap in the face, indeed. Zhuo Yan didn't know how to reply, so he didn't say anything.

Aman felt embarrassed when he saw it, and muttered: "I'm not talking about your grandma, your grandma is very good."

"I know my grandma is very good." Zhuo Yan pressed the two pieces of leather with a stone to prevent the water from washing away , then clapped his hands and stood up, looked at Aman and smiled, "You are blatantly saying that I am weird."

When Aman saw Zhuo Yan's smile, he knew that the other person was not angry, so he said confidently: "Then you are indeed weird." Then he looked at He. "Forget it, just go for it, it's up to you." It's not from his family anyway.

"How long does this take to soak?" Xiaoxian was curious.

Zhuo Yan: "At least for a day." In fact, we need to soak more, but the current conditions do not allow it. Although no one in the tribe touches other people's property, but just in case, leather is a good thing for winter, so soak it in broad daylight. Take a dip and put it under your nose.

"It's been so long!"

"It's easier to scrape off the grease when it's soaked. It'll be softer." It still needs to be hardened. I don't know if the soaked leaves can be hardened by being kneaded and boiled, and adding plant ash.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yan looked at Aman. Fortunately, all the skins were not thrown into the river. "Brother Aman, you just reminded me right, thank you!" He took the skins from Aman's arms and walked back, shouting: "I'll go first." Go back to the cave and put the leather, and you guys can keep an eye on it for me."

The other three stayed in place. Aman's face turned red. Seeing Shitou and Xiaoxian looking at him, he said hurriedly: "I don't like to make animals uncomfortable."

" Brother Aman, Shitou and I didn't say anything. Besides, I still like my brother and my mother," Xiao Xian said.

Shitou nodded. Aman hummed: "I don't like my companions either."

"He's so weird to the beast, always saying things he doesn't understand, and doing things randomly."

"Fortunately, I was smart enough to call him, otherwise he would have frozen to death. "

Xiao Xian nodded, "Yes."

After a while in the morning, Zhuo Yan soaked the skins. Qiao sent a large basket of dried leaves. Zhuo Yan put them at home and waited until the skins softened before making them in the evening. He took advantage of this time to chop them. Tree.

It's just that -

"No one will take my skin away, right?"

Others said no.

"Could someone hate me, so they kick the stone away and my skin floats away with the water?" After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, he thought to himself whether he was too petty.

As a result, when I looked at the other friends, they were rubbing their chins and frowning as if they were thinking of the things they had broken for no reason in the past. The question on their faces was "Is it so bad?", and Qiao was not sure either.

? ? ? Is this really possible?

In the end, Shitou helped. His sister, a four-month-old leopard cub, is still in the shape of a beast. Because the beast is in the form of a cub, storing food before winter won't be of much help. The cubs have to find it themselves. Playmates play in a safe place.

At this moment Shitou called his sister and her companions to help keep an eye on Pizi.

"Don't touch the rocks, don't play in the river."

"Just look at the skin."

"Do you understand, Dayun?"

The little leopard blinked with its round ears and round eyes, and rubbed its head against his brother. Legs, Shitou said no, we are going out, you stay here with the other cubs.

Zhuo Yan had a crazy face the whole time:! ! ! So cute! Snoring? Act like a spoiled child! Act like a spoiled child! The little leopard is so cute, the leopard's ears are so ruffled, it's like a leopard kindergarten!

He had gone to the zoo before and bought a special ticket to see the cubs. If he wanted to go in to feed the cubs and touch them, the number would be limited and he would have to pay extra, so he could only watch through the glass window. It was so cute that his heart fluttered.

So cute.

Now, here, there are four of them, four of them, all with round heads.

When they left, Zhuo Yan turned around and said, "How cute." He couldn't help but murmured, "Are they safe?" If he hadn't been working as a doorman for his house, Zhuo Yan really wanted to say, I'll be the doorman. Kindergarten director, let me go and watch them.

Put the matryoshka here, the little leopard is looking at the skin, and Zhuo Yan is looking at the little leopards.

Shitou said no. Qiao said: "In the tribe, the pickers and patrolmen will keep an eye on them."

The cubs are very precious in the tribe, and everyone will help keep an eye on them.

Everyone didn't understand that Zhuo Yan suddenly became so strange.

"He seems to like cubs so much."

"Do you want to give birth to cubs yourself?"

Aman even said kindly: "You can give birth in two years, but you have to find an orc mate first, so you It's better not to look for Baimao."

Zhuo Yan in the top: ...I'm not, I don't have one!

Just use wood.

Shitou found a forest and said, "Zhuo Yan, is this okay?"

Zhuo Yan looked at the wood and said, "Is it a bit too thick?"

"Is this thick? Then you want it to be very thin."

"I know it is . There are very, very, very thin trees in this place."

Several people ran to look for the small trees with strange words. In Zhuo Yan's opinion, the small tree is not small. The muscles of a bodybuilder's thigh are as thick as the one before, but they are already very thin, so he should cut them down.

"A tree like this is easy. How many do you want?" Shitou thought it was easy and found a tree first.

Zhuo Yan looked at the four- to five-meter-tall tree and said, "I also want to split it in the middle and divide it into two." Or three. If it's difficult, it can also be two.

The door opening at home is not high, and there is no need to seal it completely. The dew points should be sewed for ventilation. After all, firewood is burned in winter, and when it is too cold, leather is hung inside. If the tree is high, it can be cut in the middle. The thicker ones at the bottom can be split into three parts, and the thinner ones can be split at the top. The two halves still need to be carbonized, and there is no time to dry. It is easy to handle without nails. The inlaid mortise and tenon structure is combined with vine weaving and binding.

"Here are five first." The extra scraps can also be used as firewood.

Just do it and chop down the trees vigorously.

Shitou Aman cut down the tree, and the other three dragged it back very quickly. By noon, all the trees had been transported to the river. The orcs in the tribe who picked them all looked at them, while Shitou's sister Xiaohua and the other three cubs The leopard cub spread out his belly to bask in the sun.

Zhuo Yan: So cute!

Then when A Man looked at him with the look "I knew you wanted to have cubs", Zhuo Yan was so frightened that his eyes were firm and he secretly sucked the cubs while he was working later. hey-hey.

Set up a fire by the river. The space here is large and convenient for work.

Zhuo Yan began to slowly scrape the bark of the tree with a stone knife. Others watched him do it and imitated it. Aman said: "It's weird." Then asked: "What next?"

? ? ? It shaves very quickly!

"Lift the wood and roast it on the fire. It's not meant to be used as firewood. It's just roasted to dry out the surface of the tree and make it stronger. Otherwise, insects will grow..."

Even the stone said it was weird.

It's a strange thing. My friends are all very helpful. Qiao should go back.

Ten kilometers away from the Leopard Man tribe, the white-haired boy ate his first meal of meat after four days of starvation after being driven out. It was a guinea fowl. This was far from enough, but the danger was not far away...

Chapter 6

This continent is vast and breeds countless lives. There are not only more than a dozen orc tribes of various sizes, but also thousands of animals. Winter is coming. Before that, some animals that like warmth The migration has long been completed.

But there are exceptions and delays.

For example, a team of more than ten white-horned cattle.

Although the name of the white-horned cow sounds quite gentle, in fact, it is also quite gentle. The white-horned cow is an omnivore and usually likes to eat grass. However, in one case, it will eat meat. When it is cold, the white-horned cow and its young are threatened. Adult whitehorns can go crazy.

There were more than a dozen horned oxen, so much so that even a lion would avoid them if they encountered them. This was normal time, but now it was different. The white-horned cattle migrating south were followed by three male lions. The male lions were hungry and stared at the white-horned cattle team, waiting for the opportunity.

The white-horned cattle didn't notice at all. The mature horned cattle protected the young in the middle and migrated slowly.

At this time, the white-haired boy was eating guinea fowl under the tree. He was too hungry, and no one taught him how to hunt. For example, the prey should be dragged to a safe area for eating, preferably in a tree. However, the white-haired boy was too hungry at this time and had no strength to climb up the tree.

A small guinea fowl is not a delicacy on this grassland.

Large animals will not be ignored.

The white-haired boy sucked up the last drop of blood with a mouthful of hair, and ate the meat with its internal organs, enjoying his first meal in days. The burning hunger in his stomach was not as good as the arrival of a guinea fowl. Some, on the contrary, were hungrier.

He still wants to eat.

The white-haired boy licked his paws, savoring the taste of the guinea fowl just now.

They didn't realize that dozens of meters away, the crazy white-horned cattle were charging in this direction, and there were two ferocious lions in front...

in the Leopard Man tribe.

The surface of the five 'thin trees' has been processed. After roasting the bark, the entire trunks are white. The roots are laid flat on the dry land by the river, arranged neatly.

Zhuo Yan brought mud beans and Dudu fruits from home. It was almost noon, and everyone helped him work. He wanted to treat everyone to lunch - although it was only vegetarian, but there was no meat at home.

Regarding Zhuo Yan's invitation to dinner, Aman and the others stayed after seeing the mud beans and Dudu fruit. They just didn't like the lunch. After all, they eat it every day at home and occasionally add meat. Compared to lunch, everyone was more interested in it. More curious.

"It's disgusting to the beast, is this door made of wood?" Aman squatted on the wood and asked, muttering: "It turns out that if you put it on the fire, it will be the door."

Zhuo Yan first buried Nidou next to the fire, and his big The stone pot was also moved down, and now it was filled with river water and placed in the middle of the fire to bake. At the same time, the shell of the Dudu fruit was roasted. After the shell was baked, the top stem was removed, which made it easy to squeeze the fruit.

No orc knows how to do both better than he does!

Xiao Zhuoyan and his grandma eat this almost every day throughout the year.

"No, it's just wood now. The door needs to be installed at the entrance of the cave." Zhuo Yan skillfully rolled the Dudu fruit branches and controlled the heat. The outer shell turned slightly black and was ready for disposal.

"Pretending?" Shitou asked.

Xiao Xian was a little hungry and ran over to watch Zhuo Yan cooking.

"You cook just like my grandma."

Zhuo Yan: This is definitely a compliment.

"It's a pity that I don't have any salt at home."

"What is salt?"

Zhuo Yan finally remembered and glanced at Xiao Xian, "That's your name."

"You mean salty stone." After Xiao Xian finished speaking, he looked at today The lunch was even more tasteless.

In the tribe, it is not called salt, it is called salty stone. It is a treasure and needs to be exchanged at the Yuren Trading Market, because the Yumen have wings and can fly to the seaside. They go to the sea people to exchange for things, such as pearls, shells, salt and seafood. If you bring fur-type furs over there, the feathered people will be much more prosperous.

In this world, Zhuo Yan currently knows three major categories: fur-type people, such as the leopard-man tribe, the lion-man tribe, the werewolf tribe, and the tiger-man tribe.

Feathered humans, flying birds, the specific Zhuo Yan is not clear.

Sea people, mermaids in the sea, others are unclear.

It can be seen from Xiao Xian's name that his grandmother and father must like Xiao Xian very much.

Zhuo Yan had time to answer Shitou's question, so he turned to look at Shitou and Aman who were studying the wood, and said, "I don't mean to pile the wood at the door. It's almost the same, but if it's more convenient, I can open the wooden board alone. I can come in and out freely, I don't need anyone's help."

If the entrance of the cave is blocked by large rocks, only those with a Hercules orc at home can do it.

"That's it." Shitou still couldn't figure out how to 'pretend'. It would take him a while to move five pieces of wood by himself.

"How did he know that what I was thinking was that the wood was piled at the entrance of the cave?" Aman asked Shitou in a low voice, and then said, "This beastly beast has become smarter."

Shitou: "Maybe Zhuo Yan was very smart before, but he just didn't play with us. "We don't know."

"It makes sense."

Zhuo Yan heard what the two of them said, and he had a good ear now. He smiled and squeezed the roasted Dudu fruit along the wall of the stone pot with a stone knife. Go in, it's like squeezing jelly, the pulp inside is milky white, elastic when cooked, very chewy, with a light sweetness.

It would be great if there was milk and brown sugar, and by the way, there are taro at home.

"Xiao Xian, help me keep an eye on it while I go find some taros." Zhuo Yan handed the wooden spoon to Xiao Xian.

The stone pot transfers heat slowly, so you won't be afraid of burning it.

Xiao Xian held the spoon and opened his mouth to see Zhuo Yan running into the cave. He couldn't help but look at the wood, "What is taro?"

Shitou and Aman were confused.

"I don't know."

"This bastard keeps saying things he doesn't understand."

Zhuo Yan took the taro down and saw Sister Qiao coming back, with a tall and strong man beside her. No one in the tribe is short, except for cubs. The average adult sub-orc, regardless of gender, is nearly 1.8 meters. And at first glance, this one is half a head taller than Sister Qiao and has a stronger body. He must be an orc.

"Sister Qiao, it's time for dinner." Zhuo Yan greeted with a taro.

Qiao said: "Ada said that he has time today and can help us make the door."

Before Zhuo Yan could say anything, the tree behind him and Xiao Xian were both screaming and hooting. Qiao was a little shy, Zhuo Yan Yan: ...I understand!

He thought he was Sister Qiao's twin brother before, but he turned out to be her boyfriend.

"If you're not in a hurry, I'll boil the taro first." Zhuo Yan said hello and went to the river first.

Xiao Xian has always been curious about taro, and when he looked at what Zhuo Yan was holding, he said, "Isn't this a mud bean? Why do you call it taro?"

"It's different. The taste is different. You can try it later." Zhuo Yan washed it several times. I scraped off the surface with the stone knife, lowered the hob directly into the big stone pot, wiped my hands and hurried to the tree trunk.

Several people were talking. When they saw Zhuo Yan coming, they all looked at Zhuo Yan.

"How do I get this door?"

Zhuo Yan said: "You can divide it into two parts in the middle, split the thin part on the top, and divide the thick part on the bottom into three parts, just about the thickness." He could slowly peel it for the rest of the afternoon.

Qiao looked at Ada, who nodded and said to Qiao: "It's very simple."

In fact, Zhuo Yan was also a little curious about the power of the orcs. Is he about to transform? Bite with your teeth? The tree was quite thick, so don't break your teeth. As a result, I saw Adabi draw a mark from the middle of the tree, pull out the bone knife from his waist, and draw it.

He looked at it and pulled it gently, and found deep marks on the tree trunk.

After that, Ada put away the knife and lifted the long tree with both hands. It was so easy. After applying some force, there was only a click, and the tree broke!

ah?

Is this discontinued?

As for splitting, Ada would use the tip of a bone knife to pierce the tree trunk hard, pierce it three times up, middle and down, and then break it open with both hands. The thickness will be very even.

Zhuo Yan said all the time: awesome, awesome, awesome.

He used to think that the tools in this world were a bit too backward and difficult to use, and it took a lot of effort to work. Now it seems that orcs are the best working weapons for sub-orcs - the optimization tools still need to be optimized. He has not yet done it just to be jealous. Dumplings, look for an orc or something.

Shitou and the others had normal expressions, but Aman said: "Ada's score is really good." He was exaggerating the thickness.

After all, three points are positioned and then divided, otherwise it will be easy to disconnect from them.

Zhuo Yan thought to himself, Sister Qiao's boyfriend is smart at work!

"Thank you Sister Qiao and Ada for helping me." Zhuo Yan also called each other's names after Aman, "The food is almost ready, let's have lunch first."

Ada looked at Qiao, Qiao nodded, and Ada stayed, but casually I took a roasted mud bean and sat down with Joe to eat it slowly.

Zhuo Yan and the other four people sat by the fire eating and chatting.

"I thought it would take several days, but I didn't expect to finish the plank so quickly. Then after I finish eating in the afternoon, I can refine the next step, the vine weaving and inlay structure." After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, he met Aman's strange eyes, "What are you doing? ?"

"Do you want to eat my mud beans?"

Why are you looking at him like this?

Aman: "Who wants to eat yours? It's not like I don't have any. What's so delicious about mud beans?"

"Brother Aman, Zhuoyan's roasted mud beans are still delicious." Baked mashed beans, but they are even more delicious than what he makes at home.

A Man who was disgraced: ...

"I thought you were going to talk about Ada." Aman muttered while lowering his head to eat, with a very pleased expression on his face: "Ada and Qiao should be getting married soon. You'd better not think about it, otherwise I will I'll stay with Qiao and won't play with you anymore."

The primary school students divided their camps, but Zhuo Yan was not angry. The original Xiao Zhuo Yan had indeed done this before - showing favor to other orcs who were interested. .

Aman is very loyal. After playing with him for a few days, of course he has a better relationship with Qiao.

Zhuo Yan didn't know how to explain it - he said that he was not interested in partnering with orcs. Several people obviously didn't believe it and thought he was being tough, so they opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you say that I like the white-haired boy?"

"Haha. ? " All the beans in Aman's hands fell to the ground.

Zhuo Yan looked very happy, and Gaga said happily: "Don't worry."

How could he be relieved? The expressions of the other three people looked more complicated, especially A Man.

The things in the stone pot were kept warm, and everyone wrapped them in clean large leaves to drink. Xiao Xian fell in love with Dudu Guo after one sip, and exclaimed: "It tastes good. This size really tastes different from mud beans." Same!"

"It's different." Joe also liked it.

Xiao Xian carefully distinguished it, taking a mouthful of Dudu fruit soup and a mouthful of mud beans, "Zhuo Yan is right, this fruit is not mud beans, but -"

"Taro." Zhuo Yan answered.

"Yes, it's taro. Taro and Dudu fruit taste better when boiled together. It's sweet."

Zhuo Yan taught Xiaoxian and Sister Qiao how to distinguish taro from potatoes. In fact, it's easy to tell the difference between taro and potatoes. They were chatting. There was a knocking sound, and Ada, who was sitting next to Qiao, suddenly stood up.

Along the entire riverside, the sub-orcs who were picking and working nearby stopped talking and communicating. Everyone's faces were full of solemnity and defensiveness, and some of them called the cubs back to the cave.

Shitou protects his sister Dayun and Dayun's companions.

It wasn't until there were three more "dong dong dong" sounds that everyone's solemn expressions became slightly better. Ada transformed into an animal shape, and her leather skirt and coat fell to the ground. Joe picked it up and said, "I'll take it back for you."

Ada roared, ran very fast and disappeared by the river.

"It's not a beast attack, it's the tribe calling the orcs to gather." Aman also breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that Zhuo Yan knew what had happened with the clanging sound just now. The orcs in the tribe met the white-horned cattle team, had a fight, and harvested thirteen white-horned cattle.

Two of them were taken away by lions, and two had already been eaten clean by hyenas and vultures.

In the evening, Xiao Xian sat by the river and said what he knew, "It seems that the white-haired boy brought the white-horned cattle here." He glanced at Zhuo Yan and whispered: "The white-haired boy was stepped on several times. " Jiao, Zhuo Yan, you should change to an orc."

"No, Bai Maozi is not an orc. If you like a beast, you won't be able to eat enough." "There will be no pop-up ads on this site

."Chapter 7

In just two days, in the eyes of his friends, he has become deeply in love with Bai Maozi. He doesn't blame others for this, but blames him for not keeping his mouth shut.

Woohoo.

Zhuo Yan was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. Xiao Xian misunderstood, and sighed like an adult on his little face, saying, "Don't worry, he's not dead yet."

"...That's good." Zhuo Yan nodded, and the white-haired boy didn't hurt him.

Xiao Xian struggled for a while, but did not dare to tell Zhuo Yan that the white horned boy was not dead or almost dead. He was afraid that Zhuo Yan would be sad, so he said something else bluntly, "I didn't expect that we could catch so many white horned boys before winter this time." "Niu, that's great."

"How many are they?" Zhuo Yan asked.

The white-horned cattle had nothing to do with him. He still had to eat vegetarian food for the whole winter. When he thought about it, he felt sad. When Zhuo Yan was cleaning up, he thought about whether he could make some traps to catch small chickens or something.

Are there chickens in this world?

"I went home to help. I have a brother and a father at home. My mother thought I was causing trouble, so I came over to tell you about the white-haired boy." Xiao Xian was a little annoyed when he said this, why did he mention the white-haired boy again? , in case Zhuo Yan asks.

Fortunately, Zhuo Yan didn't ask.

"Today we will divide the hunting teams first, and in the rest of the night the tribe will divide the meat..."

Meat? ah? Meat! ! !

Zhuo Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Xiao Xian with stern eyes, "Share the meat? Do I have some too?"

"Yes, but you may not have much." Xiao Xian told the truth.

Zhuo Yan couldn't be happier, "Just eat some. I didn't contribute to the meat that fell from the sky. I didn't expect that I could finally eat meat!"

What a joy! ! !

Xiao Xian was also happy to have harvested the white horn cattle. His brother and father had gone out and divided a lot. He said, "Remember to listen to the sound tonight." "

Okay." Zhuo Yan became more energetic when he heard the meat. Yes, I swallowed my saliva and waited for the evening.

Xiao Xian accompanied Zhuo Yan to move the door back, and the two struggled several times. In the evening, the afterglow shone on the entire tribe, and the river water turned orange-red, sparkling beautifully.

Although I was delayed in doing the door this afternoon, there will be meat tonight! The door didn't seem to be in a hurry anymore.

Zhuo Yan hummed a song and took out two skins that had been soaked for a day from the river. Using the remaining light of the sky, he used a stone knife to scrape off the soaked fat little by little. There were still bubble leaves boiling in the stone pot, because it was boiling water. Gududu made a lot of bubbles.

Xiao Xian squatted aside and watched Zhuo Yan do this.

"You seem to be different."

"What's different?"

"It's just not that annoying. Although Brother Aman keeps saying that you are annoying, he doesn't hate you."

Zhuo Yan smiled and splashed Xiao Xian's head. , Xiao Xian covered his head and hummed: "You are still very annoying." Zhuo Yan laughed and said: "You are so cute, and Aman is also very cute."

"The sub-orcs can't have enough to eat together."

Zhuo Yan :... Call me naive, you always think this way.

"Friends! Just companions. I like you very much."

"Coming to this world, I have had hope and fun in life these days. I am not so boring and lonely anymore. Thank you."

Zhuo Yan looked at the setting sun, The burning clouds are so beautiful. I hope that Xiao Zhuoyan and his mother can be reunited in the sky, have enough food and clothing, and live a happy life.

"You said something weird again." Xiao Xian showed his furry, round ears and flicked them, "I won't say that you are annoying, so you don't have to thank me."

Zhuo Yan's hands were itchy at the sight, but both hands were wet . Come on, stop bullying children.

After scraping off the grease and putting the skin aside, Zhuo Yan took a wooden stick and poured plant ash into the stone pot. Xiao Xian screamed next to him, meaning it was dirty. Zhuo Yan raised his chin and said, "No, it will only be cleaner."

"Is it true? The water is obviously dirty." Xiao Xian didn't believe it.

Zhuo Yan used a wooden stick to stir it evenly, it was a bit thin, and then added a handful of plant ash. Xiao Xian's face wrinkled up next to him. As Zhuo Yan slowly stirred it, it turned into a paste. It was all dark. This must be dirty.

"It's almost done." Zhuo Yan stopped. The light was starting to get bad. He took the time and asked Xiao Xian to help him without any politeness.

Xiao Xian was curious about whether this dirty paste could clean the leather, and he was happy to help. He followed Zhuo Yan's example and smeared the paste into the leather in a thick layer, and then it all rolled up.

"Is this good? Don't care? Your leather must be smelly."

The leather had been soaked for a day, and it was wet and heavy. Zhuo Yan put the two pieces of leather aside on the stone, panting slightly and said: "Okay, I'll take it out tomorrow, wash it, rub it, and dry it. I'll move the stone pot back first, and you can keep an eye on it for me."

Xiao Xian nodded.

Zhuo Yan walked a few steps holding the stone pot, then turned back, "Why don't you go back with me? Are you afraid of being left here alone?"

"???"

The furry round ears swayed, accompanied by Xiao Xianyi "What are you talking about?", Zhuo Yan knew that he was thinking nonsense again, but just in case, Zhuo Yan still said: "If you encounter any danger, Xiao Xian, just run away first, don't worry about it, I will be very careful Come down soon."

Xiao Xian: "I understand." But what's the danger? In the tribe, there are people in the distance. Zhuo Yan's words are strange, but for some reason, he thinks Zhuo Yan is pretty good.

So he squatted and looked at the leather. Xiao Xian saw Zhuo Yan running away, and curiously poked the leather with his hand. The black stuff inside came out and stained his hands. Xiao Xian looked at the river not far away. Looking at his hands again, he finally held back and muttered: "I'll wash my hands when Zhuo Yan comes back."

Zhuo Yan was afraid that Xiao Xian would wait for a long time, so he ran very fast, but the stone pot was really heavy, and along the way After walking around for a while, Sihasha finally moved into the cave while panting heavily. The entrance to the cave was a bit messy because of the wooden planks made at noon, but there were more things, and they were all useful, and he felt very fulfilled.

Put down the stone pot and run down quickly.

"I-I-I'm coming-" A big gasp.

Xiao Xian stood up and said, "Zhuo Yan, why didn't you let me go back with you just now holding Pi Zi?"

Zhuo Yan:? !

Split in place.

"I, I didn't expect it just now." Zhuo Yan held his waist and gasped, "Xiao Xian, you are smart."

Xiao Xian shook his furry ears and was very happy, "I'm going to wash my hands. Just wait for me. I'll go back with you." "Your hole."

"Okay, I'll get the meat in a minute and take you back. Are you on your way?" Zhuo Yan asked. I have to send Xiao Xian back if he doesn't go by the way, it will be dark now.

Xiao Xian shouted: "Okay." Then he said something and ran over with his hands raised, "Zhuo Yan, look at my hands!"

"Hands? What's wrong with my hands? Are there leeches in the water?" Zhuo Yan moved closer, Although it was dark and the light was poor, his eyesight was very good and there were no wounds on his hands.

Xiao Xian shook his hand and said, "I was stained with black paint just now. When I washed it in the river water, there were still bubbles and it was very clean."

It turns out to be this. Zhuo Yan explained: "If you add some grease, it will be soap. But it is a bit wasteful to use grease to make soap now. When life gets better in the future, I will teach you how to make soap. With soap, paper can also be tossed. If paper is available, , Iron can do it, iron knife and iron pot..."

I feel that I am very promising in the future!

Xiao Xian followed Zhuo Yan and hugged the wet leather, "You are saying strange things again." But he knew that Zhuo Yan was quite happy now.

Just be weird.

After returning the things to the cave, he took a breath and heard a tapping sound. Zhuo Yan knew that this was meat. He could climb thirty floors in one breath, and his waist and legs no longer hurt. He stopped twitching and happily called Xiao Xian to go with him.

Hey hey hey meat!

The two of them went downhill in the dark. Xiao Xian led the way towards the center of the tribe. Zhuo Yan didn't go much. He carried a rattan basket on his back. The further they walked inside, the more they encountered sub-orcs and orcs, some of whom were holding torches. It was very strange. lively.

When we got to the middle, there was a large open space. The tribal leader had already begun to give out meat. The orcs who had already received it were not divided into different families. Now they were divided according to the hole. If there were more people, they would be given more points, and if there were fewer people, they would be given less points. If there are more people in the cave, If there are cubs, some bones will be given to them for them to grind their teeth on.

When Zhuo Yan heard the rules, he shamelessly asked, "Am I considered a cub? I'm not married yet, so it doesn't mean I don't have a partner yet."

Xiao Xian: Huh?

"I'll go over and ask in a moment." Zhuo Yan's eyes were shining, and he went to find a team to queue up, shouting: "Xiao Xian, please go back quickly, don't worry about me, see you tomorrow."

Xiao Xian's voice was heard by the noise . Swallowed, Zhuo Yan actually wanted to ask the uncle in the tribe who divided the meat. He, he was so brave.

The tribe leader was watching in the middle. There was an elderly orc who was dividing the meat. He was human-shaped, with some white hair on his temples. He was wearing a leather jacket and had some wrinkles left by the years on his face. He looked about forty years old and was unsmiling. A bit fierce.

Zhuo Yan was also beating a drum in his heart. When it was his turn, he asked very politely: "Uncle, can I share some bones?" He quickly explained: "I haven't married yet. I am a sub-orc who lives outside. In the hole."

The uncle who was dividing the meat stopped with the bone knife and looked over coldly with his eyelids down.

Zhuo Yan looked a little embarrassed, maybe he was too shameless.

Fighting for bones with children.

"Then, forget it if it doesn't work." He cried, this uncle is so cruel.

Sorry, wrong.

Even the clan leader looked over.

Zhuo Yan's face burned, and he already regretted asking this question. Then he saw the uncle who was sharing the meat gave him a large piece of meat, and asked the people next to him to give him a few more bones. The clan leader said: "You are Zhuo Yan? Winter is coming. If the snow is heavy, you have to go to the cave early. "

Huh?" Zhuo Yan originally wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, but he didn't expect that the clan leader reminded him to go to the big cave early and cared about him. He burst into tears, really burst into tears.

"I know, I still want to hold on. If I can't hold on, I will go to the big cave. Thank you, the patriarch and uncle."

The patriarch's eyes were filled with pity, "Go back quickly."

Zhuo Yan carried the rattan basket and went out . , it was heavy behind him, and his heart was full - he was really moved.

"You're here, you disgusting beast. Xiao Xian just said you wanted bones. You weren't scolded, were you?"

Not only did Xiao Xian not go home, but several other friends were also nearby, and everyone was waiting for him.

Seeing Zhuo Yan's eyes turning red, Qiao comforted him and said, "Uncle doesn't like to laugh, so he's not being mean to you. If you want bones, I have them at home -"

"No, uncle and the patriarch gave them to me." Yan was very happy, "Uncle is a bit fierce, but he is a very nice person."

The friends all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xian said: "I used to be scared to cry when I saw my uncle."

"Shitou cried too."

"Aman cried too."

Shitou and Aman exposed each other.

Everyone laughed, and Zhuo Yan also laughed.

Although the tribe adheres to some animal habits, there are also some who are warm-hearted.

Zhuo Yan was saying goodbye to his friends when he heard the orc sub-orc talking next to him, meaning that the clan leader actually gave Bai Mao Zai such a large piece of meat. Bai Mao Zai can't change into human form, and it's not that sub-orc can't reproduce.

"...If you are so seriously injured, you will definitely die. It's a waste of meat."

"The patriarch said that this time the white-horned cow was also brought here by the white-haired boy, and the white-haired boy is about to die, so let him eat one before he dies. "It's a good meal." The sub-orc man also had some sympathy in his tone, but soon disappeared, "The white-haired boy left the tribe with the meat in his mouth. The tribe leader definitely didn't want to leave the white-haired boy to spend the winter in the tribe. A beast spent the winter in the tribe. , in case you go crazy and hurt someone because of hunger..."

Chapter 8

When Zhuo Yan went back with the rattan basket on his back, he was a little silent on the way. The happiness he had just gained from the meat and bones became a little heavy when he heard about the white hair boy.

In this era... we naturally cannot think with modern thinking.

The clan leader is weighed by the clan leader and is responsible for the safety and future of the Leopard Man tribe. To a certain extent, the clan leader and uncle gave him more meat and bones because he was a sub-orc who could give birth to offspring and reproduce, which was beneficial to the tribe.

And the white-haired boy really has no "advantage" at all. It's not that the orcs can't transform, and he's also a cub. He can't participate in the tribe's orc hunting. It's almost winter and there are potential dangers in the tribe - even if it's just a guess now, the danger is not there. Didn't happen.

"The clan leader can give the white-haired boy meat and let the white-haired boy leave the tribe with enough food. In fact, it is a bit of a favor..." Zhuo Yan could only think this way.

Be comforted before you die.

Zhuo Yan looked up at the bright stars. The night here is very quiet. The moon is not very bright and big, but there are many stars, like a galaxy. It is actually very beautiful. The weather is also very good during the day. There is no pollution. There are mostly blue sky and white clouds. , sometimes the sky is filled with red clouds.

But...

Zhuo Yan sighed and withdrew his gaze. He didn't know what it was, but he felt a little empty in his heart. He sympathized with the white-haired boy. Maybe it was because people are a little sentimental when they are alone late at night.

He planned to change his thinking, stop thinking about things he couldn't do, and think about things he could do, such as what to eat tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I was really happy.

The meat removed from the bones is not very clean, and has more meat than the ribs he bought in the supermarket - hey hey hey, he has three meat bones. Tomorrow he can smoke the meat to make bacon, dry it in the air, preserve it as much as possible, and stew the bones to satisfy his craving.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yan swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and his steps became lighter.

"I don't know when the tribe will go to the Feathered Market. If I go, what should I exchange for salt..."

After thinking about things all the way, he finally reached the slope of his house. Zhuo Yan subconsciously looked at the wild grass in the distance that was half a man tall. The wind blows, and the weeds sway, but there is nothing.

Zhuo Yan went uphill to go home.

But he didn't know that in the opposite direction, in the pile of weeds farthest from the water, the white-haired boy struggled to hold up his front paws, staring at Zhuo Yan's position through the gaps in the dense weeds, waiting to see the Yaman. Orcs.

The white-haired boy collapsed weakly on the ground, and his mouth was covered with coagulated blood. This was not the blood from eating meat in the afternoon, but the fact that he had vomited blood several times. His hair, which was originally white and fluffy, was now tangled in strands. Mixed with blood and soil, the whole state was messy and very bad.

He collapsed in the haystack, looking at the sky with numb and empty eyes. There was still a piece of meat hidden in his belly, but he made no move to eat. It was too painful, and his stomach hurt as if it was rotten...

Zhuo Yan's... I didn't sleep well at night either. There were snowing and animal swarms in my dreams. The fragmentary memories were very vague, as if they had happened or were dreams. I woke up from dreams intermittently, and fell asleep again in a daze.

I finally made it to dawn.

Zhuo Yan immediately stopped sleeping and stood at the entrance of the cave. The low-temperature sunlight in the early morning shone on him, and it became real.

Today's tasks are to tan, clean and dry the leather, install doors, and air-dry bacon.

If you have time, prepare some more firewood.

Zhuo Yan first took the leather to the river. The leather that had been lying there all night was not dry, but was still wet. He stuffed the leather into the stone pot last night, and now he put it in the rattan basket and carried it on his back.

Early in the morning, there were already orcs and sub-orcs cleaning around the water source.

Zhuo Yan's house is located close to a water source, which has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the water is convenient, but the disadvantage is that it is dangerous. Some animals are too thirsty and do not smell the mark, so they will break in to drink water. In the past, Xiao Zhuo Yan's animal father I have caught an antelope.

Meat, meat.

Zhuo Yan was working hard. He put the leather on a stone in the river and used a wooden stick to beat it to remove yesterday's 'washing powder'. The more he beat it, the more bubbles there were. He rubbed it repeatedly until the bubbles were gone. This time it was done. Let dry.

"What are you doing, you disgusting beast?"

Zhuo Yan knew who was coming without turning around, and he came just in time, "Brother Aman, can you help me wring out the water?"

"Don't call me that." Aman came over, "Bring it here."

Zhuo Yan gave one to Aman. Aman was stunned for a moment to see what the disgusting beast would do. Zhuo Yan: "Go in the opposite direction."

The two of them worked together, and the water flowed.

"This is quite dry, but I can wring it out by myself." Aman looked at the water-free leather in his hand and said, then looked at the disgusting beast, "You need to eat more." No wonder the orcs couldn't be found.

Too thin for the beast to hate.

Zhuo Yan: "I plan to eat meat and bones for lunch." Drool.

Meat and bones are just for cubs to chew and play with, which is why the beasts are so greedy for them. Aman wanted to say something, but looked at the back of Zhoushou who was too thin and didn't have much flesh, so he swallowed his words.

While talking, the two skins were wrung out of water. Zhuo Yan planned to dry the skins on a large tree branch a few meters away from the entrance of his cave. At the same time, he took down the big stone pot to clean it and stew meat at noon.

Aman followed him to pick up the stone pot from the cave - it was Aman who said: "I'll do it."

"It's very heavy."

"Fortunately, if it were my sister, I could pick it up with one arm."

The two of them climbed out of the cave again . When they came out to chat, Zhuo Yan knew that Aman had an eldest sister who was an orc and had already married. Zhuo Yan nodded, and chatting, Aman changed his voice and said, "I also have a younger brother who is also an orc, a few years younger than you."

"Oh, oh, Has he transformed?"

Aman glared at Zhuo Yan, who asked innocently: "

I already said that my brother is a beast." He asked if he had transformed.

Zhuo Yan: "..." It's his fault, so he couldn't help but explain sincerely: "I didn't eat in the morning, and now my mind is full of cooking meat and bones." So chatting was a bit distracting.

Aman looked at the disgusting beast a few more times, and finally walked in front holding the stone pot, walking smoothly and quickly, muttering: "Forget it, let's wait and see."

When the two of them went down, they saw Qiao and several others from a distance . They were all down by the river, and Xiao Xian was talking. With his good ear, Zhuo Yan heard clearly, and it was Xiao Xian who made his voice louder in excitement.

"Should we tell Zhuo Yan?"

"I think it's better to tell him. Oh, if he is sad, then don't tell him."

"The orcs don't like him, and the only white-haired boy is dead..."

Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment, is the white-haired boy dead?

Qiao said: "I didn't see the body of the white-haired boy either."

"But a lot of blood was found in the grass over there." After Shitou finished speaking, he added: "Someone saw the white-haired boy leaving. Tribe."

Xiao Xian wrinkled his face and screamed, "I didn't even dare to tell Zhuo Yan yesterday that the white-haired boy was brought back and his stomach was stepped on several times by the white-horned cow. I heard from my brother. "I vomited a lot of blood."

"My father said that Bai Maozi will not survive.

"

"What should Zhuo Yan do?"

I don't know if he already loves Bai Maozi so much. Zhuo Yan was thinking, and Aman suddenly said loudly in front of him: "Ahem, we are coming down."

Zhuo Yan: ...Aman's notification sound was really obvious.

Everyone looked at him with a bit of worry. Aman put down the big stone pot first and said, "Let the white-haired boy leave as soon as he leaves. The beast said he would eat meat and bones today."

"I brought meat, Zhuo Yan!" Xiao Xian shook his Back basket.

So did Shitou Qiao.

Zhuo Yan: "! Then we can have a barbecue by the river at noon."

"Don't you still have to do the door work?" Aman said.

"Yeah, let's have a barbecue by the river after work."

The topic changed, and no one talked about the white-haired boy again. Zhuo Yan washed his big stone pot, meat and bones, and moved them back -

"Wait a minute, it's better to get a bucket." He moved the stone pot up and down every day, and his waist could break.

"What is a bucket?"

Zhuo Yan thought for a moment, "The simplest one now is probably a big thick tree, hollowed out in the middle, so tall and thick, with a handle. Wood is lighter than stone, and it is easier to fetch water." He said a series of gestures.

If you use wood chips and the vines are tightly tied, it will probably leak. But if you run a bucket of water faster, it will leak a third, but what should you do with the bottom of the bucket?

Who knew that Qiao said: "Okay, I also want a bucket, Zhuo Yan, we can go outside tomorrow to find a big tree to make the bucket you mentioned."

"Ah?!" Zhuo Yan was surprised, "We?"

"Of course not, Ada will definitely come." Aman said confidently.

Qiao was a little happy and said: "He will have time later."

Because of yesterday's harvest of white horn cattle, the pressure on every household in the tribe to stock up on meat was much lighter - everyone has been busy for a month, unlike Xiao Zhuoyan, who after his grandmother's death, Somewhat panicked and helpless, I hadn't stocked up on food before, so I was focused on finding the orcs.

It would definitely be good to have Ada help. Zhuo Yan knew that Sister Qiao mentioned that she also wanted a wooden barrel because she helped him.

Everyone returned to the cave and pulled the board out to the flat ground at the entrance of the cave. Aman Xiaoxian found that one end of the board was dented.

"I'll do some grinding when I have nothing to do. I'll make the door frame first, and I'll make the wooden hinges." Zhuo Yan said, everyone divided the work quickly, so he squatted down and told a few people, "Look at this card slot, put the board on it - "

It won't fit in." Xiao Xian pointed to the slot, "It's too small here."

"If it's small, it will be tight. Use a stone to hammer the board in and it will be tight. If the size is just right, it will fall off easily." "Zhuo Yan put up the boards used to make the 'nails' on the back of the door. The 'nails' boards are relatively narrow. There are three in total, and the top, middle and bottom are stuck. "Look, the slots must be aligned..."

Qiao Several people listened attentively. As Zhuo Yan explained the gestures, everyone's eyes were filled with wonder. After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, Xiao Xian clapped and said, "Zhuo Yan, how did you come up with this method? You are so smart. ! "

This is the wisdom of our ancestors.

"They are only averagely smart." Zhuo Yan modestly said that if the historical development of this world were to follow, thousands of years later, they would also be 'ancestors'.

There may be archaeological discoveries of 'prehistoric orc world civilization'.

"You guys do this, and I'll make the wooden hinges." This requires a lot of work, drilling holes, and wooden wedges. The wedges need to be thicker, otherwise the door won't be fixed.

In fact, there is the simplest way, which is to dig slots up and down the hole, and get up early every morning and put the wooden boards together one by one before going to bed. But Zhuo Yan found it troublesome. In an emergency, it would take half a day to open the door, which is not as convenient as the door.

In addition, the hole is so large that the wooden hinges cannot bear the load for one door, and it will definitely not last long. Fortunately, the trees cut down at the entrance were used to make two doors. The door leaf will be lighter, and the wooden hinges will definitely be sufficient and strong. Use a door bolt in the middle. You can also temporarily nail one door to the ground with wooden stakes, leaving half of the door for normal access.

So Zhuo Yan and his friends planned the assembly, and the door leaves should be symmetrical and wide.

He spent the whole morning making the door, and the logs that served as the door frame and pillars were also stuck on the wall of the cave entrance. Zhuo Yan dug the ground flat to make it easier to move the door. He probably had all the work done, and only the installation was left.

"Let's have lunch first. We'll load it up in the afternoon." Zhuo Yan saw that everyone had been busy all morning and wanted to take a break.

Who would have thought that none of the Qiaos said they were hungry.

"Let's install the door first." Aman said.

Qiao: "I want to see the effect of this door, and what you did all morning. How to install the two doors you mentioned, and where to install them?"

Shitou and Xiaoxian both looked at Zhuo Yan.

Zhuo Yan: "...Okay." I didn't expect everyone to be so curious about the door.

I made four wooden hinges all morning. This thing is very labor-intensive and delicate. Now I can only install one door first and see how it goes. Zhuo Yan was also a little curious, so he pushed the wooden hinge into the hole in the door frame and pillar, "Put the side with the hole in my direction."

"Here it comes!"

Aman Shitou said as he held the door. : "I don't have a hole here."

Aman turned around and looked for the beast.

"Look, just aim this wooden wedge at the entrance of the hole and push it in." Zhuo Yan said. In fact, it is very simple. The most difficult part is to cut out the grooves and grind the cylindrical wooden wedges. Once the accessories are ready, it can be assembled.

The hole was aligned, and the stone was the strongest. Zhuo Yan asked the stone to hit the wooden door. The stone did not dare at first for fear of breaking it, so he carefully knocked with his fist. The wooden door closed little by little with the wooden hinge wedge, once, twice...

Qiao and others Staring carefully, no one said anything to ask questions.

As the four openings closed tightly with the wooden door.

"Have you installed it?"

"Are you ready? You're a beast."

Zhuo Yan checked it and said with a smile, "You can let go now. Don't be afraid. Let go. This is wood, even if it falls, it can't be smashed." Bad." He looked at Aman and Shitou, who were holding on to the wooden door.

Under Zhuo Yan's words, the two of them carefully released their hands holding the wooden door.

The wooden door unexpectedly fell down!

"Wow!"

"Okay, so amazing."

A few people stood in front of the wooden door at the entrance of the cave, looking intently at the 'installed door leaf' - it was really installed. No one touched it, and it didn't fall down. It's like the pillars on the cave wall are glued together.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yan teased a few people and gently pushed the door leaf with one hand. The others were frightened and moved half a step back. Shitou and Aman even opened their hands to protect them, but the wooden door did not fall and only moved towards the hole. An arc was drawn inside.

Success!

A major civilization of the prehistoric orcs - the wooden door with mortise and tenon structure. In the Leopard tribe, the small entrance of the cave was completed by five sub-orcs working together.

Chapter 9

Although there is still one door that has not been installed - wooden hinges are really difficult, it is a delicate job, Zhuo Yan did four of them in one morning. However, a door was successfully installed, and everyone was so curious. If Zhuo Yan hadn't said that he would eat first when he was hungry, several people would have gathered around him and asked him to teach him how to make wooden hinges.

Zhuo Yan: ...I can't laugh or cry.

Everyone is very easy to learn.

"I'll teach you in the afternoon. This thing looks small, and it takes a lot of effort to cut it with a stone knife. If you use too much force, the wooden wedge will break easily, especially when you have to dig holes and make grooves. I'll teach you in the afternoon. Let's eat first, dear Sister Qiao, Aman Brother~ I'm so hungry~"

Amidst Zhuo Yan's teasing and coquettishness, the group of them finally went to the river to have a barbecue!

Congratulations.

Everyone else brought meat today, but most importantly, Qiao and Xiaoxian brought salt!

"Xian Shitou, I have a lot at home. I asked my grandma and I can give these to you." Xiao Xian took out a package wrapped in green leaves from the rattan basket.

Only the size of a baby's fist.

Zhuo Yan knew that salt was very rare. It was a product of Shanghainese people in Yuren Market, so he opened it carefully. The salt inside was yellow and black in the form of large granules, which was different from the white salt used in modern times.

He was holding the salt bag and was actually moved.

Here, giving him salt is like giving him jewelry, diamonds and gold—more precious than that.

"I don't have much, you should have enough." Joe took out hers.

Zhuo Yan almost cried like an ambulance - he cried so hard that he was so moved, "Thank you." Really.

"You have to spend the winter well," said Joe.

Aman: "Don't die in the winter."

"I know, I know, I will try to survive."

Shitou Aman's family is in a tight situation, mainly because there are underage orcs in both families, and the beast-shaped cubs like to eat meat. After transforming into a human form, he can eat meat and vegetables, but it's just like the old saying in modern times: a half-grown boy eats a poor old man.

The Qiao family is different from the Xiaoxian family. Sister Qiao has a younger brother who was born in the same litter. He is the same age as Sister Qiao and is in his prime. Although he eats a lot, he is also a good hunter. Xiao Xian has two older brothers, both of whom are orcs. They don't have a family either, so they store the most things at home.

With the salt, Zhuo Yan volunteered to have a barbecue at noon.

The meat is fried on a thin stone slab. The fat from the fat meat is fried first. The aroma of the barbecue fills the air. Zhuo Yan uses chopsticks - wooden chopsticks he sharpened himself to turn the meat over, while cutting the thin white corners into evenly thin pieces. The place where the beef is spread with grease makes a sizzling sound.

Several people watching swallowed their saliva.

"It smells so good."

"Today's white horned beef seems to be particularly fragrant."

Qiao said, "Zhuo Yan, how do you use the stick in your hand? It's so convenient."

Zhuo Yan opened his hand holding the chopsticks and gave it to Qiao The sister demonstrated and said: "This is easy to make and it won't be hot."

"Yes."

Qiao nodded, and the stone was already looking for branches. While the others were waiting for the meal, they were whittling sticks and learning how to use chopsticks like Zhuo Yan. A few people couldn't use it well, they were laughing and joking, and then they watched Zhuo Yan carefully how to use it.

Fortunately, stone conducts heat more slowly, so the color of the meat is beautiful when fried, and the temperature is very even. Zhuo Yan was taking care of the slate barbecue and teaching several people how to use chopsticks.

When the surface of the meat on the stone plate is golden, shining with the luster of oil, thick and slightly browned -

"When will Zhuo Yan be ready?"

"I'm suddenly so hungry."

"That's right."

Zhuo Yan listened a few times The man's words were mixed with saliva, and he swallowed the saliva, it was so fragrant, "Wait for me to do the last step, sprinkle with salt."

"That's a salty stone." Xiao Xian corrected vaguely, but he didn't care anymore, his eyes were focused. On the stone slab.

Zhuo Yan carefully took out a 'salty stone' and crushed it with a little force between his index finger and thumb. He first poured it into the palm of his other hand, then sprinkled an appropriate amount on the barbecue, and the rest was thrown into the stewed meat bones. In the soup pot.

"You can eat it!!!" He swallowed.

Several people gathered around, holding the meat with chopsticks. Aman and Shitou couldn't use chopsticks well. They were afraid of the meat falling off, and they were not afraid of burning it. They ate the meat in their hands and took a bite. Aman's eyes widened in shock and he swallowed. He lowered the meat in his mouth and looked at Zhuo Yan with burning eyes.

Zhuo Yan was using a big leaf to hold the meat in his palms. It was so fragrant that he ignored Aman's gaze. He blew it first and took his first bite of barbecue in a long time -

"Well, it's hot, it smells so good. "

After Zhuo Yan took the first bite, he remembered that this was not his first barbecue. Sister Qiao gave him a piece of barbecue a few days ago, but to be honest, the piece of meat was cold and the taste was just so-so. It was nothing. grease.

But it tasted delicious at the time because it had been so long since I had eaten meat.

"You are a nuisance to beasts. I will never ask you to be a nuisance to beasts again." Aman said.

Zhuo Yan suddenly laughed and said vaguely: "I didn't care about this. I know you just yelled and didn't really hate me, hehe."

He could tell whether it was true or false.

"That's different. Your barbecue is really delicious. No one will hate you for such delicious barbecue." Aman took another big bite with a delicious taste.

"That's right." Xiaoxian's furry ears were exposed, showing that he was very excited now.

Shitou also nodded.

Sister Qiao even said: "I want to learn this from Zhuo Yan and give it to my grandma to try when I go back."

"I want it too, I want it too!"

During the second round of barbecue, Zhuo Yan was scraping potato skins and giving verbal instructions. Sister Qiao and several people grilled it, "It depends on the heat. The thickness of my slate. If your slate is thin at home, use smaller matches. If the slate is thicker, add more firewood and burn it more vigorously."

"Yes, don't cut the meat too thin. , don't be too thick, your palms are broad, not palm-sized, side to side, right."

"Separate the fat ones and the thin ones, and the white ones are fat, so there is more oil. Put the fat ones first and fry them, don't rush. Flip over and fry slowly. "

"You can use a small hammer or wooden stick to pat the lean white horn beef to make the meat looser. If you like it firmer, you don't need to pat it. You can try both. "

In fact, it would be more fragrant if there were garlic and spices.

However, I don't know if it's been too long since I've eaten freshly grilled barbecue. Zhuo Yan feels that the meat quality of white horn beef is really good. It's even better than the beef he bought in modern supermarkets.

It's chewy but not too spicy, has plenty of meaty flavor, and doesn't have the irritating smell of beef.

After the second round of eating, Zhuo Yan put some of the washed potatoes and taro on the stone plate and roasted them with the remaining fat, and put some of them under the hob into the large bone soup pot.

Everyone is not full of meat yet, but now is not the time to eat meat. At this time, you can eat some grilled vegetables. When the soup is almost cool, you can wrap it in leaves and drink it. While drinking, Zhuo Yan said: "Tomorrow If you want to make a wooden barrel, make some wooden bowls and wooden spoons so you don't need to use leaves." "

It tastes

good."

"It smells good."

No one spoke, they just connected their heads. Now no one has an opinion on what Zhuo Yan said. Zhuo Yan's cooking is so, so delicious!

After eating and drinking, a few people sat lazily by the river, basking in the sun that was still a little warm during the day.

Qiao touched his belly and said, "Zhuo Yan, everything you do tastes delicious."

"That's right."

"Yeah." Shitou.

Aman: "You are not a beast now. If other orcs have tasted your craftsmanship, Zhuo Yan, you don't have to be afraid. I can guarantee that, not to mention all orcs, there will be orcs who want to partner with you."

Zhuo Yan . rock:? ? ? ah?

"Let me tell you about the orcs, you are different now, you are smart and delicious..." Aman counted Zhuo Yan's changes in detail.

Zhuo Yan was so scared that he didn't dare to stay in a daze and said, "Thank you Aman, but I still don't want to find an orc as a partner now."

Sure enough, he saw that Aman didn't believe it, not only Aman didn't believe it, but everyone else didn't believe it either.

Zhuo Yan:...

"I, to be honest, I'm actually still thinking about White Haired Boy." Zhuo Yan learned from the pain and showed worry, "He ran away from the tribe, I... I really don't want to be a partner."

Aman He felt sorry for Zhuo Yan, "He can't even transform. What's so good about him? Don't miss him."

"That's right." Xiao Xian said weakly, "He might be dead."

Qiao looked at Zhuo Yan in embarrassment After looking around, he finally said: "Forget it, Zhuo Yan is still young, let's wait two years before talking."

Shitou nodded.

Zhuo Yan: It's okay, okay, I got through it.

It's just that he didn't expect that the tribe would also 'press marriage', but Aman also had good intentions - 'he' had been very enthusiastic about partnering with orcs before, so Aman had to worry about it for him.

But...he is really not interested now.

Fortunately, Qiao Chuang smoothed things over and let the matter go. Everyone talked about tomorrow's activities and were anxious to go back and assemble another door. Everyone helped take the things back, and Zhuo Yan taught everyone how to make wooden hinges.

Shitou Aman was the most energetic, and the two of them whittled away at the wood until it was either small or broken. Qiao and Xiaoxian did it very meticulously and quickly.

"Zhuo Yan, I've watched it for a while, I really have watched it for a while, but I don't listen to my words." Aman was very distressed. He really wasn't lazy, he really knew how to do it.

Shitou nodded and looked aggrieved.

Zhuo Yan patted the two of them on the shoulders, "I don't blame you, everyone is good at different things. I mean, Sister Qiao and Xiao Xian do detailed work, but you are strong and you are very good at climbing trees."

That's true. The two nodded, not feeling so wronged anymore.

The second door was really fast. Before evening, a few people assembled it. At this point, Zhuoyan's cave finally had the first double door in the tribe.

"Can I do it instead?"

"Okay." Zhuo Yan promised Xiao Xian, but reminded him, "You should be able to open the door, right?"

Xiao Xian quickly replied: "Yes, I can, I am not Brother Aman."

"What, I can do it too." Aman bickered.

But everyone was very happy. After the door was completed, they had already played a round of games. Specifically, people from the outside knocked on the door, and people from the outside had to open the door. voice.

Zhuo Yan watched a few people playing and was delighted.

At this moment, Xiao Xian wanted to go in and open the door. Everyone was outside the door. Xiao Xian closed the door first. Aman asked, "Can you close it?" through the door.

"Hmph, I can." Xiao Xian said at the door.

Shitou Qiao was laughing, watching the two bickering and having fun.

"Okay, okay, I've closed it." Xiao Xian stretched out his hand and pulled it, "It's really good. It doesn't move anymore. You can't come in."

Aman started to knock on the door. It was already the second round and he was stronger. Some people didn't dare to knock the first time for fear of breaking Zhuo Yan's door, but Zhuo Yan said it didn't matter and tried to defend himself. Despite this, Aman still controlled his strength the second time, and with one or two sounds, his strength became stronger.

"Zhuo Yan is really strong!" Aman said in surprise.

Zhuo Yan: Hahahaha, his little friends are so cute.

When Xiaoxian opened the door bolt, Aman Shitou opened the door. The two were once again surprised by this movable door. It was so good and magical.

Waiting for the four of them to enjoy themselves - if it hadn't been dark, the four of them would have endless things to say about this door.

Zhuo Yan watched the four people leave, and could still hear the chatter about the door.

"Before Ada and I got married, we also wanted to create a Zhuoyan door so that my mother could open the door by herself," Qiao said.

Aman: "It turns out that you and your second brother are not getting married because you are worried about your father and mother."

"At least we have to wait until this winter is over." After Qiao finished speaking, he added: "When the winter is over, we can be a doorman. "She can also feel free to have a partner and have a hole with Ada.

Xiaoxian said in an annoyed tone: "It's too late now, otherwise, I would also like to be a doorkeeper, but my family won't listen to me, saying that I am a child. If my father had seen Zhuoyan's door, he would definitely believe me. ."

"Zhuo Yan is so smart." Shitou sighed.

Even Aman, who used to be tough-tongued in the past, said now: "He is different now. He is no longer a beast."

...

The voice became farther and farther away, and Zhuo Yan couldn't hear it clearly. There was an unconscious smile on his face. In fact, It's not that he is no longer a beast, but that he is no longer a beast in the minds of his four friends. The other sub-orcs in the tribe are still prejudiced against him.

But it doesn't matter, there's a long way to go.

Zhuo Yan didn't care about this. He went to the Crooked Neck Tree to collect the leather that had been dried for a day. It was not very dry yet. He would dry it again tomorrow, but he could already feel that it was much stronger than before. The leaves had a faint fragrance and the leather was very soft and fluffy. It must be warm.

Perhaps because of the door or something else, I feel a little safer today. After collecting the skins, Zhuo Yan did not return to the cave immediately. With the light of the stars, I looked down at the water and grass in the distance. They were still empty and swaying with the wind. There are no weeds...

Is the white-haired boy really not coming back?

Chapter 10

This night was the only time Zhuo Yan had a solid sleep since he came through. He didn't have any dreams. The door of the cave was bolted tightly. The stone bed was covered with a big leather and a fluffy and fragrant leather. He was covered with a blanket. open.

Safe, warm, clean and fluffy.

Zhuo Yan also scrubbed his body. Lying on it, the fatigue of the day seemed to be supported by soft clouds, and his sore limbs and every inch of muscle and skin were relaxed.

So comfortable~

The quality of sleep was improved. The next day, his body automatically woke up, full of energy. He first went to the river to wash up. The weather was already a bit cold now. Zhuo Yan washed his face with cold water, brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth. He felt more energetic. .

"Fortunately, I made a wooden barrel today so I can boil hot water for washing later." After Zhuo Yan muttered, he was doing some exercise by the river, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the empty grass in the distance.

He went back and roasted two potatoes. As soon as they were roasted, Sister Qiao and others called him from below.

"Zhuo Yan! Are you okay? We're about to leave!"

This was Aman's voice. He was not a beast/annoying person, but he was still a little used to it. Thinking of this, Zhuo Yan was so excited that he put a rattan basket on his back, which contained stone knives and roasted mud beans, and hurriedly went out.

"Okay, I'm coming down."

Several people met below.

"Zhuo Yan, when you go back in the afternoon, can Ada check on your door?" Qiao asked.

"Of course, everyone is welcome to visit." Zhuo Yan said cheerfully.

A few people took a detour to the narrowest part of the water and swam across it. The water was a bit cold. Xiao Xian sighed: "It's so cold."

"It got a lot colder all of a sudden.

" "It's so cold."

Several people chatted.

The orc Ada on the side said: "It might snow tomorrow."

"Huh?" Zhuo Yan didn't think it would be so soon. Although it was indeed quite cold, it was not yet the temperature for snow in winter.

But other friends believed in Ada's words.

After leaving the tribe, Ada led the way and Joe followed side by side. Zhuo Yan and others walked behind. Zhuo Yan asked in a low voice: "Are orcs more sensitive to the weather? How did Ada know it was snowing."

Aman: "I don't know either, but every time it snows, the weather is still bad. My father I'll know too."

"That's right."

Shitou nodded.

Zhuo Yan: Do orcs have any special methods for detecting the weather?

Who knew that Ada suddenly said before: "We have a very sensitive sense of smell and hunt a lot. Look, there was some cold water on the grass when we came here."

Zhuo Yan:...! !

Suddenly he remembered that his hearing had improved, let alone the orcs. The so-called 'whispering' just now was actually almost the same as asking Ada in front of him. Fortunately, he was also curious and didn't say anything bad about anyone.

Later, when walking, several people paid attention. It would be very early. Zhuo Yan initially thought that Ada was talking about dew, but then he looked carefully and saw that the leaves of the weeds were covered with thin ice, which looked like snowflakes and ice crystals when rubbed.

"So that's it."

"It's really ice water. It's cool."

Several people stood up, with the coolness of the frost still on their fingers. Zhuo Yan chatted with his friends about the weather along the way and learned that there would be light snow ahead. It's not very difficult. There are also orcs coming out to hunt, but they can't catch any big prey. There are some guinea fowl and Boi Bo.

"The boils appear in groups. They are very loud. Those boils can climb trees and are very flexible. It is difficult to catch them alone." Ada added.

I see.

Zhuo Yan heard about the habits of many animals, but what he was thinking about was the guinea fowl. The chicken should be easy to catch, right? Can they be kept in captivity? There is a platform at the entrance of his cave that can be used as a chicken coop...

Ada said to Qiao: "It's good to make the barrel you mentioned today."

"This idea was not mine, but Zhuo Yan's. Come out." Joe said.

Ada looked at Qiao with gentle eyes, "Your friend is as smart as you."

Zhuo Yan: Hehehehehe. Ate a handful of dog food.

Aman Xiaoxian had already made a sound, and Qiao's face had a faint blush, a little embarrassed, but also a little happy and in love.

While talking, they finally arrived at the big thick tree. Qiao asked Zhuo Yan which tree was the right size. Zhuo Yan looked at it and compared the size of the bucket with Qiao and Ada. In fact, it was mainly to see Ada - after all, he was the one who put in the effort today.

After hearing this, Ada picked a quite big tree and said, "This one is enough for you, and the rest can be taken back to light the fire."

Zhuo Yan raised his neck and looked at the big tree in the sky. It was indeed a big tree. It's enough. In addition to buckets, wooden basins, and wooden bowls, several people can take it home one by one to use as stools and firewood - such big and tall trees.

He had already planned the future of this big tree with his eyes.

Then cut it.

This time the tree was very thick, and even Ada couldn't cut it down easily in two strokes. He first took out a stone ax and chopped several times from the root of the tree. He was only wearing a leather waistcoat, and his exposed arms had bulging muscles due to the exertion of force. Thicker than the thighs of several of their sub-orcs.

Zhuo Yan made secret gestures and fell silent.

Ada didn't need their help. After about half an hour, the thick trees were only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. "You leave here and run farther away."

Qiao led a few people back, and saw Ada kicking Climbing up the thick trunk, the whole tree fell to the ground and hit other trees. The other trees shook, but the trees in this area were all thick and did not collapse.

"That's enough." Ada dragged the big tree to the clearing.

Several people stepped forward now, and everyone looked at Zhuo Yan - what to do next?

Zhuo Yan gestured at the height of the tree, leaving some room for it, "Let's cut it off from here." The tree was more than ten meters long, and the thick bottom was used to make barrels. Each barrel was sixty or seventy centimeters high with its handle attached. That's enough.

After that, everyone divided the work and cooperated. Zhuo Yan drew the line after measuring it, and Ada was responsible for cutting. Shitou Aman removed the branches and leaves, and Qiao Xiaoxian kept the branches aside, arranged them neatly, and tied them up so that they could be taken away and used as firewood in the afternoon.

After the first tall wooden pile was cut down, Zhuo Yan was responsible for digging the hole. When he was tired, Qiao and Xiao Xian came over. Shitou Aman was too strong and was afraid of breaking the barrel.

"I just remembered something." Zhuo Yan moved his sore wrist and said, "I have thought about using wooden boards to piece together the door, just like the door of my house. The wooden wedges can be nailed, and there are tree vines. It can be tied around the outside. "

Qiao said, "What about the bottom?"

"I was worried about how to make the bottom." Zhuo Yan smiled and started to make gestures. "The bottom of the wooden barrel is narrow and the top is wide. It is narrow, and then a round wooden board is repaired and put in from the inside to seal it, but the bottom board needs to be polished very smooth and there are no gaps to prevent leakage. "

With today's tools, it is indeed difficult to make a wooden barrel seriously.

Qiao understood, "What you said is fine. Although it takes a lot of effort to do it now, it won't leak."

"Yes, that's right." Xiao Xian nodded.

Aman was still confused. He didn't understand, but it didn't matter. Now he could understand the wooden barrels being made. He couldn't help but say: "Zhuo Yan, you are very smart now."

Shitou nodded, yes, it's good now.

Zhuo Yan put the serious wooden barrel plan for later. If he could get rid of the planer, he would have a handy tool, so he could think about it for fun.

"Can you let me try the next one? I promise, I will go easy on you." Seeing everyone digging, Aman wanted to try it too.

Zhuo Yan: "Okay."

Shitou then also looked at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan: ...

"You can try it if you want. Take your time first. Once you master the strength, you will become more proficient."

Shitou smiled happily.

The third wooden pile has been cut down, and Qiao asked Ada to rest first. They dug the hole very slowly, not in a hurry -

Zhuo Yan and the others were laughing next to them, and Aman said: "Qiao feels sorry for Ada."

"This It's natural, Sister Qiao also likes Adama. "Couples care about each other.

Ada, who was sitting on the tree trunk opposite, smiled when he heard this and looked at Qiao. Qiao also smiled and took out the food in the rattan basket and handed it to Ada. Ada shook his head and said he wasn't hungry, and added, "It's cold. , I'll make a fire and do it slowly."

"Okay." Joe agreed, "I'll help you."

The young couple went to make a fire and chatted in a low voice.

Zhuo Yan and several sub-orcs started to process the barrel. Shitou Aman was very strong and made the first rough version of the barrel. He dug out the middle. Zhuo Yan and Xiao Xian followed suit and polished it, detailing the handle and inside of the barrel. The walls and the outer bark should also be removed.

After lighting the fire, you can put it next to the fire and bake it.

"Why do you need to bake Zhuo Yan?" Xiao Xian was curious, "I had to bake the door before."

Aman Shitou looked over and didn't stop working. Zhuo Yan said: "The wood needs to be dried. Now the big trees have moisture. If you pump water frequently, the bucket will become moldy. After a short period of use, the water will have a strange smell. If it is a wooden door, it will also deform."

"This time it was too late. So I didn't handle it properly. When you make wooden doors in the future, you need to dry the wood into pieces and dry them in the sun."

"So that's it." Aman understood.

Ada also wrote it down and said to Joe: "After the winter, when the snow melts, I will find a tree and we will make the door."

"Okay." Joe was very happy, and Ada always remembered her words.

For the first time, I have hope for winter. I hope winter will come and go quickly.

In the morning, he made three rough versions of the barrels. Zhuo Yan slowly polished the walls and handles of the barrels with a stone knife, and then laid the barrels sideways next to the fire. Xiao Xian was responsible for keeping an eye on them. After a while, they rolled them and dried the insides. .

Practice makes perfect in the afternoon. Both Shitou and Aman mastered the strength, and the speed became much faster. In the evening, six barrels were made from a large tree over ten meters high, leaving a lot of leftovers and five meters of wood. , it was obvious that the wood could not be taken back, so everyone bundled the forked branches into firewood and took them away first.

It was full, and by the time the tribe got dark, everything was gone.

"Zhuo Yan, let's look at your door tomorrow and bring back the piece of wood." Qiao said with joy on his face.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Zhuo Yan was reluctant to part with such a large piece of wood. He also planned to bring wooden stools and tables back to the cave so that he could find some work if he had nothing to do in winter.

That night I casually took a bite and fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, it was foggy outside and the temperature dropped a lot. Zhuo Yan was wearing a small leather vest and a small leather skirt. To be honest, his legs were a bit cold. Several people rubbed their hands and met underneath. Ada also came.

"The weather is bad, don't stay outside for too long today." Ada said.

Ada was worried about Qiao, so she came with him.

It was really bitingly cold when swimming in the river. Zhuo Yan's teeth chattered. After getting ashore, he rubbed his feet. The few people quickened their pace without chatting. When they arrived at yesterday's wood, Ada cut it down without saying anything. The trees above were thinner. The chopping time was much faster, and all five sub-orcs had it. Zhuo Yan was given a one-meter-long piece of wood. His section was thicker and naturally heavier.

On the way back, Ada helped Jonah. The few of them helped each other, Shitou helped Xiaoxian with him for a while, and Aman helped him support him. When they were about to return to the tribe, snow began to fall in the sky.

It's snowing.

"Go back quickly."

Once they arrived at the tribe safely, they felt much more relaxed and could chat.

"I brought back a bucket yesterday. My grandma said that I go out to play every day and wouldn't let me play. But this morning, my grandma said that this is very useful. I said that Zhuo Yan came up with it, so I didn't go. Just playing." Aman said.

Xiao Xian nodded, his furry ears exposed again: "That's right, my grandma praised Zhuo Yan for being smart and said that the bucket I brought back was very useful. My brothers didn't get any praise."

Because I made an appointment to go see him . Zhuoyan's wooden door, but the snow is getting heavier and heavier. Shitou Xiaoxian and Aman go back first, otherwise their parents will worry about them. Qiao and Ada went to the entrance of Zhuoyan's cave.

This is the first time Ada has seen Mumen - he has heard Qiao talk about how powerful Zhuo Yan is, but to be honest, Ada doesn't really believe it. He is a thin sub-orc who is underage. He only believes in Qiao. Zhuo Yan is Qiao's partner, so he is willing to listen to Qiao and come.

At this moment, Ada stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the wooden door that could be movable and closed. Her eyes and mouth were wide open in surprise. After a while, Ada said, "Qiao, your partner is very smart, and this wooden door is great."

"Yes. " Right, I told you, with the wooden door, my grandma and your grandma will be much safer in the cave from now on." Qiao was so happy.

Ada nodded solemnly and looked at Zhuo Yan, "You are very smart. There will be orcs in the future."

Zhuo Yan: ...

just take it as a compliment.

Qiao pulled Ada's arm and told Zhuo Yan that we should leave first. Zhuo Yan watched the two people leave, and could still vaguely hear Qiao saying: Zhuo Yan has favorite beasts, beasts...

Although Sister Qiao didn't tell them all, he already knew that he had favorite orcs, including white-haired people. No, it's just a beast... So Sister Qiao got stuck mid-sentence and didn't know how to continue.

The snowflakes were falling, and Zhuo Yan shuddered at the entrance of the cave. He hurriedly entered the cave, closed the door, and started a fire with a flint. He did not dare to burn the firewood hard, so he just added a piece of firewood to keep it warm.

The bucket was still empty, but Zhuo Yan was very tired and planned to take a rest to warm himself up before fetching water.

Night fell very quickly on a snowy day. Zhuo Yan was sitting on a wooden bench in front of the fire. He noticed that the light was getting darker and darker. He stood up and looked outside the door. It was already dark.

It's usually only around three or four o'clock.

Zhuo Yan did not dare to delay. He had no water and could not delay any longer.

In the wind and snow, a skinny white-haired boy blended into the snow, swaying on his limbs towards the tribe. He was covered in injuries, and one of his eyes was even covered in blood. He was staggering. He was about to die. He knew, After wandering around outside for a long time, he was too painful and tired, and he couldn't hold on anymore...

If he died, he wanted to go back to the tribe and take another look.

Take another look... What is it... Take another look...
