Searching for food through the beast world

Goods Exchange

Polenta with barbecue, which is not only delicious but also absolutely hungry for a few people who have been sitting on the ground "fighting" for half a night.You must know that they started to feel hungry not long after they were finally willing to lie down, and they were able to bear it until now, all because of Boss Kun's way of protecting his partner.Think about it, Ding Xiao is still a cub, and his body looks very thin. He is busy with dinner, picking fruits and stones, making delicious food, and teaching them to play the fun "jumping well". They didn't say they were hungry and wanted to eat, how embarrassing they were.

In fact, Ding Xiao also felt hungry, mainly because he didn't sleep well in the first half of the night last night and got up late in the morning.After they all ate and drank well and everyone shared a piece of dessert according to taste, it was already around eight or nine in the morning.

They packed up their things and prepared to go on the road, but just as they finished packing up the tent, the males felt that orcs from other tribes were approaching them.

Hei Yi was the first to see those people: "Why did the Flying Leopards go this way? I thought we were the only ones who would take such a remote route."

Muwa glanced at him: "What's the matter. People can't want to go to the forest?"

Kun Yi waved his hand: "Okay. They must have something to do when they come here. Pack up your things first."

Sure enough, within a few minutes, four members of the Flying Leopard clan came up to Kun and the others.Of course, it is impossible to get too close. Orcs of different tribes, whether they are male or half-orcs and females, even if they are familiar with each other, they should keep a safe distance when they first meet.According to Ding Xiao's visual inspection, it is about ten meters away.

The four people on the opposite side looked about the same age as their group, but they were all male.The size of the Flying Leopards was about the same as that of the Mavericks, so it was quite oppressive for the three half-orc cubs.

"Hello, we are from Tongtai Village of the Flying Leopard Clan. My name is Zhe. The three of them are my good friends." After speaking, he looked at Kun and said, "I'm here this time to exchange things with you."

Chasing and chasing to exchange things?Ding Xiao turned his head to look at Kun. Seeing that the big guy was expressionless and hard to guess his emotions, he was curious for a while, so he couldn't help asking: "What do you want to change?"

Zhe glanced at Ding Xiao, and then replied, "I want to exchange Dianwolf's skin."

Kun immediately refused: "You can find someone else."

Zhe seemed to have expected to be rejected early on, so even though he was frustrated, he didn't show it particularly obvious. "I know this request is presumptuous and disrespectful. But I really need it. I have some food here that I can exchange with you. I just want a top wolf skin."

Be aware that exchanging food for fur is an odd thing to do during this season.Although fur can keep warm in winter, food is obviously more important.The top wolf's fur is indeed soft and warm, but it is not the only animal's fur.Everyone was a little surprised why this person was so obsessed with Dianlangpi.

Seeing Xiaoxiao's curious expression, Kun asked, "Why do you have to wear wolf fur?"

Zhe sighed: "Because my father was bitten off by the Dian wolf when he was hunting two months ago. Although the priest connected my father's leg, but if he wants to resume his actions, he can go hunting and raise a baby." It will take a year or two. And the priest said that in winter, only the winter clothes made of adult wolf skins can keep Dad's legs back to normal. Although our Flying Leopard Clan also hunted an adult wolf this time, But before I went to exchange things with them, the village had already sold them to the Nine-Tails. You also know that exchanging things with the Nine-Tails..."

Muwa nodded when he heard this: "Indeed, it is very difficult for the Nine-Tails to exchange what they got. But other tribes also have it?"

Zhe said: "I've been there, but I only bought a wolf skin. But that's not enough." After speaking, he looked up at Xiang Kun, "I know it's not easy for you to hunt down that wolf, but I I really need it. The four of us originally wanted to hunt Dianwolves in the neutral zone, but we couldn’t find them after searching for several days. I accidentally saw you on the side of Shishan yesterday. I thought about it all night. , I decided to give it a try." You must know that if the Dian wolves do not appear, it is not an ordinary difficulty to find them.

In fact, Kun felt that this member of the Flying Leopard tribe would find him in exchange for the wolf skin. It was very likely that he thought he could deal with a top wolf by himself, so he would not take this skin seriously.He himself is very reluctant, this is one of the winter clothes he prepared for Xiaoxiao, he still thinks a piece of skin is not enough, how could he agree to change it.But seeing Xiaoxiao's sympathetic eyes, and remembering that he said that he could use food in exchange, he decided to ask his partner first what he meant. "Smile, what do you think?"

Ding Xiao didn't know that Kun's wolf skin was specially hunted for him to make winter clothes, but since Kun meant that he didn't want to change it, of course he had to respect his opinion.However, based on his preliminary understanding of the people here, what the male of the Flying Leopard clan said was definitely not lying.He just doesn't understand that there are so many animal skins that can keep warm, why must it be top wolf skin?

But after thinking about it, I have somewhat understood the beliefs of the people here in the past few months.People in this world believe in beast gods, and the priests in every village are people who they think can communicate with the gods. Similar to this kind of thing where you bite me, I will take your skin to protect the wound. Although it is feudal superstition, it is also true. Not too outrageous.It's just that if people get hurt again because of this, the gain outweighs the loss.

"You want to keep the wolf skin for clothes?" Ding Xiao asked Kun in a low voice, pulling Kun aside.

Kun replied honestly: "I'll make winter clothes for you. Dianwolf fur is especially warm."

Hearing this answer suddenly, Ding Xiao's heart immediately shrank.In fact, the sweet taste is not as strong as the sour taste.There is a person who thinks of himself in everything and everything, but he is clearly reluctant but cannot accept it calmly. How can it feel good.But knowing the truth, he didn't want to show kindness even more.Although Kun said that the wolf was not dangerous, he was injured after all.He put all his heart into it for himself, and he gave it to others so generously in a blink of an eye?

Ding Xiao felt that he never had the heart of the Virgin, nor did he have the virtue of benevolence. He could tolerate many things on the premise of not hurting his relatives and friends.But beyond this bottom line, he will handle it more carefully.After all, the person closest to you is definitely more important than someone you have never met.So it was related to Kun's heart, so he wanted to say sorry to Zhe.The point is that he really doesn't feel good about this feudal superstitious "healing method".

Seeing that Ding Xiao didn't speak for a long time, Kun nodded: "Let's do this. Let's see what they want to exchange first, and then decide. Maybe there will be something you have been looking for?"

Ding Xiao, who hadn't thought of this level at all, immediately raised his head, looked at Kun's eyes that reflected him, and nodded vigorously.This big guy... is so caring!To change or not to change is all for your own consideration.How can there be such a good person in this world!

Zhe asked the three companions who followed him to bring some animal skin bags over. "It grows near our village. Although it is not meat, it is delicious when cooked."

Looking at the opened bags, Ding Xiao was immediately dumbfounded.Kun is not a child prodigy but a god, right?This... this... here really is what I want Kun and Dad to be looking for!Ripe soybeans are plump and round.Even though the bag of bright red Chaotian peppers has dried up, it is still rare.

In addition to these two things that Ding Xiao thinks about day and night, there is also a bag of things called "hard melon".That thing looks like a loofah on the outside, but it's not very big, only about the size of Ding Xiao's palm.It is warm in nature and flat in taste. It is not only non-toxic, but also a good thing for nourishing the spleen and stomach and moistening the intestines.Although I don't know how it tastes, Ding Xiao probably doesn't have a strange taste, unless the people of the Flying Leopard Clan have too peculiar a taste.

Two other things are sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.Sesame seeds are plentiful in the territory of the Mavericks, but sunflower seeds are rare.Many people of the Winged Tiger Clan like to eat sunflower seeds, and because they like to eat them, they will pick off the entire mature flower disc when they meet them in the wild. There are also fewer sunflowers.

In a word, there are at least three things that Ding Xiao wants.So after seeing what these things were, Ding Xiao immediately turned to look at Kun. "There are soybeans and peppers."

Hearing these two names, Kun's eyes lit up.Then he didn't say anything, and said directly to Zhe: "I agree to exchange with you. Use these bags." Dian wolf's skin, maybe you will encounter it when hunting, and besides, you can also hunt better wind. fox fur.Compared with the top wolf, hunting the wind fox is simply safer and easier.This soybean and chili has been on the mind of Xiaoxiao for a long time, how could he miss it.

Zhe heard this.Immediately laughed out.You must know that these bags of things look a lot, but they are not the staple food that the orcs must eat.Especially the red horn, which is everywhere in the mountains of their village, it is just a spicy seasoning.The only thing that was more precious was the hard melon, which was newly discovered by the tribe this year and could be used as a staple food. He didn't want to disclose it to foreigners.But when I thought that the other items were too common (in fact, they are too common in your place, children’s paper!), I was afraid that they would not be enough, so I added them. "Then let's change it now!" In this way, two top wolf skins can make a winter coat for Dad!

"Uh..." Now Ding Xiao has absolutely no objection to the change.But they didn't have the wolf on their belts at all. "Kun, how to do this?"

Kun was very calm: "My uncle has already brought the wolf skin back, and it is not with me. If you are sincere, you can hold these things at Shizipo and wait for me to exchange them with you in ten days." After calculating the distance, they spent five days They could return to the village within five days, and it would not be a problem to go to Shizipo, the border between the territories of the Flying Leopards and the Winged Tigers, in five days.

Zhe didn't expect that they didn't have a wolf belt with them, but the other party agreed to let him exchange these few things, which is already very good.You must know that if you change from the Nine-tailed Clan, you may have to pay at least ten times the price.Uncle is right, people of the Winged Tiger Clan are easy to get along with! "Okay! Then I will bring these things to Shizipo and wait for you in ten days." In this way, I don't have to take risks in the depths of Aomori with my three good friends!After all, if his friends were injured because of hunting wolf skins to make clothes, I'm afraid Dad can't even feel at ease when he recovers from his injuries.

Sending off the youngsters of the Feibao clan who have been saying "thank you" all the time, I have to say that Ding Xiao is in a very happy mood.Just like what he thought before, whether to change or not to change can live up to Kun's wishes, which is definitely a good thing for him.Especially this time they could switch to soybeans and chilli.That's soybeans and peppers!Ordinary items that were too ordinary in the previous life, but here I have been looking for them for several months.Although those two bags must be kept for seeding, my family will not be able to taste two bites this year, but with the seeds, I can eat as much as I want in the future!This trip to the winter market is really rewarding!

And it's not just limited to money and food, but also the feelings that I accidentally discovered.And Kyo and Shiwa who seem to be getting more and more in tune.

Continue on the road, a group of people are still talking and laughing along the way.Hunt, find food, dig to carry.Eating delicious food made by Ding Xiao every day, and playing "jumping well" before going to bed, these young people are a little bit reluctant to leave.

Especially Kun.He found out that since he discussed the exchange with the Flying Leopards that day.Ding Xiao looked at himself a little differently.He couldn't say what it was like, anyway, he just felt comfortable everywhere.As long as he looks at himself with a smile, he wants to hug someone up and kiss him.Alas, it's a pity that Xiaoxiao is still too young!I don't know if Xiaoxiao would like to let herself kiss in advance, the little wolf cub licked Xiaoxiao last time, and I haven't kissed Xiaoxiao's face yet!

When hunting in the evening, Kun, Muwa, Shizhong, and Ming teamed up to hunt and kill a giant python that shocked the three orcs.Ding Xiao visually measured the length of this boa constrictor, at least 15 meters, as thick as an adult bent-horned sheep.The scary thing is that there are four eyes on the top of this snake's head. Under the light of the setting sun, the four fist-sized snake eyes glow with a faint blue light, which looks really scary.But the most frightening thing is its sharp snake teeth. Tianyan told Ding Xiao that there is poison in those snake teeth.This made him question whether he was going to eat the snake tonight.

Fortunately, after Kun Hefeng skinned and divided the python with four eyes, he was completely relieved when he saw that the snake meat was completely non-toxic and harmless, and even had the effects of nourishing qi and blood, strengthening muscles and bones, dredging meridians, and dispelling wind and diseases. .

The snake venom was carefully put away by Kun, together with the snake eyes, snake teeth and snake gall.These are the things that all tribal orcs must hand over to the priests after hunting snakes.The rest is the snake meat and snake skin.Although the giant four-eyed python is frighteningly huge, the leather is very light and breathable after tanning. Males never use this kind of snake skin to make clothes.So in the end the snake skin was divided among the three half-orc cubs.As for the snake meat, it is estimated that in the next two days or even returning to the village, there is no way to completely eat it.

If it wasn't for the ferocity of this kind of snake, Ding Xiao would almost feel that raising this kind of snake is more valuable than raising pigs, cattle and sheep.
