Searching for food through the beast world

Memories and carts

Ding Xiao, who was covered into a hairball, brought a fishing net to the river to catch fish accompanied by Kun.

Because Kun had already had the experience of breaking through the ice and fishing for fish twice before, so this time they harvested very quickly.

In fact, Ding Xiaofei wanted to go fishing with him just to relax.Since he started preparing for the New Year, he has not left the village. More than ten days have passed, and he is really a little flustered.To put it bluntly, he was locked up in the house because he was sick for the first three days.Ding Xiao felt that if there was a window in the house, he wouldn't be like this.

The ice on the river is extremely thick. Judging from the ice holes they dug, the thickness is about one meter.Glancing at the shore more than ten meters away, Ding Xiao said with emotion: "The place where the river is deep still has more fish."

Kun turned his head: "When we have a fish pond, we will have a lot of fish." The grilled and fried fish made by Xiaoxiao are especially delicious!

Ding Xiao smiled: "The sacrificial priest said that I can choose the place where I will plant next year, including your fish pond. The sacrificial priest also said that after we plant something next year to give half of the village's harvest as seeds, that land will be ours. It's gone."

Looking at Xiaoxiao's expression full of joy, I am very happy with myself now.Kun asked curiously, "Do you have any land in your hometown?"

Ding Xiao shook his head: "In our place, only farmers, that is, people who specialize in farming have land. The rest of the land are rich...that is, people with a lot of wealth. Little people like me , It would be great to have a house to live in. Although my family lives in the suburbs, there are two-story duplex houses that many people don’t have. In fact, my dad is very amazing. He set up a stall on the street to sell wontons, and later sold grain and opened a grain store. He is very hardworking and capable. Even if someone says he is not good, he will always be the best father in my heart."

Seeing the sad look on his partner's face, Kun asked distressedly, "Would you like to tell me about your biological father?"

Ding Xiao glanced at Kun, and then nodded: "Hey, maybe you don't understand a lot of what I said, but you can't interrupt me. Ask me after I finish." About his father, he probably won't understand in his life. I can only tell Kun.

Kun bowed his head and kissed Xiaoxiao's forehead: "I'll just listen, you can tell."

"Didn't I tell you before. In our place, there are no males, only men and women. Most of the partners in the world are men and women, because only men and women can produce offspring. But in fact, there are many People only like the same sex. Just like here, males and males, half-orcs and half-orcs, in fact, the combination of males and half-orcs is the same. Here, as long as two people love each other and support each other through life, they will be happy. Blessed by people. But in our place, the combination of men and men is not accepted and blessed by people, and what's more, they will be despised by unrelated people and cast aside by relatives."

"My dad is a man who likes men. Actually, I didn't know anything about these things when I was very young. I used to ask my dad where is my mother. Why do other people have mothers, but I have never seen them. Then At that time, my father told me that my mother lives abroad, and I can only see her when I grow up. In fact, I knew when I was in elementary school that my mother didn’t want me at all, because I didn’t even see her. However, there is not even a photo of her at home. It can even be said that apart from giving birth to me, she seems to have nothing to do with me.”

"At first I hated my mother, even though she was just a shapeless shadow in my heart. But the feeling of being abandoned made me very sad. I didn't like to play with other children when I was very young, because I was a motherless Children. It is normal to be spurned and ridiculed. I just don’t want my father to know and make him sad. I didn’t know that maybe I was wrong until I found out that one of my male teachers and my father were kissing at my house after I graduated from elementary school. I'm a mother."

"At that time, I really hated my dad. In fact, thinking about it later, I was completely afraid that even my dad would not want me. I was afraid of being homeless, and I was afraid that I would not even have the only relative. Since childhood, I and I Dad was the one who raised me, and even though we weren't rich back then, I had new clothes every year, and the stuff I brought to school was never the worst. Maybe it was the mate my dad found Probably the best teacher who ever treated me at school. It didn’t take long for me to accept the two of them together.”

"Since that person lived with me and my father, life at home has indeed been much better, and the three of us are just like ordinary families, talking and laughing every day. Although that person is sometimes not at home during the Chinese New Year, But my father and I both understand that he also has his own relatives. Maybe because we lived together for too long, my father and I were too devoted to him, so after his betrayal, we couldn't stand it even more. "

"Actually, I once asked my dad if we have other relatives, but every time I asked, my dad would have a very sad expression, and I never got an answer from my dad. I don't like to make dad sad , so I won’t ask about things he doesn’t want to answer. Later, I eavesdropped on my dad’s conversation with that person outside the door, and then I realized that my grandpa didn’t die, and my dad was kicked out of the house by him Yes. I still remember that day was the [-]th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion in our place. Dad probably didn’t want his grandparents to have a bad reunion festival. So I chose to go there the next day. As a result, he was beaten back. At that time, I only heard my father say that he was not afraid of being beaten every year, but he was afraid that his grandparents would never see him again. Although my father did not cry, I could hear it. The sadness and pain in his tone. Although I can't see how my father's arms and legs were beaten, I can tell from the way that person was very careful not to let his father do this or that in those few days. The injury will definitely not be light."

Having said that, Ding Xiao hugged Kun's arm. "I've said everything about the latter before. My father and I really never thought that that person would betray us. We all thought that simple, happy and happy days could last a lifetime. I even thought about how to be filial to them after graduation and looking for a job. Two. Unfortunately. I still remember how happy he was when I first called that man father. He hugged me and kissed me several times. I don’t believe that he has been lying for ten years. But why is it because I should be able to understand, but I don’t want to understand until now. When I threw a brick at him, I really wanted to kill him, and then I would follow. In this way, on Huangquan Road, we will You can continue to be with Dad."

Although Ding Xiao had a faint smile on his face, Kun could feel the sadness and pain in his partner's heart.In particular, the words "Follow and die" made Kun feel extremely frightened, a worry he had never had before. "Xiaoxiao..." It's a pity that I want to say something, but I don't know how to say it.He was really scared, afraid that if Xiaoxiao really killed that person at that time, he would never have a chance to be with him like now.

Ding Xiao raised his hand to press Kun's frowning brows: "Those are all things in the past. There are no ifs or maybes in life. If I have to say it, it should be that I am destined to be here, with you and Father and father are together. But you say."

Kissing his lover's forehead again, Kun held him in his arms distressedly: "It would be great if your biological father could come to us, we males will never do things to betray our partners! No matter who For any reason, it is unforgivable to make your partner sad or even die. Smile and rest assured, I will never lie to you, nor will I like others, as long as I have you, it is enough!"

Ding Xiao leaned into Kun's arms and smiled softly: "I'll tell you a secret, you must never tell anyone else. In fact, my father looks exactly like my biological father, but my father is not as big as my father." He is so tall. When I first saw my dad in Aomori, I really thought I saw my dad in a dream."

Kun froze for a moment, then asked softly, "Is it because of this that you never thought of leaving here?"

Ding Xiao replied honestly: "Yes. In the place where I used to live, my father has passed away, and there is no one closest to me in that world. I think it must be God or the beast god who brought me here. There must be his intentions. You see, now, I can be with Dad and Dad, I can see Dad's happy life, and you are such a powerful and caring partner, why should I leave here? "

After hearing the last sentence, Kun immediately narrowed his eyes: "I will be the most powerful and caring partner!"

Ding Xiao smiled and came out: "Mr. Partner, can you quickly pull the fishing net? If the net breaks after a while, it will not be considerate at all~!"

After telling Kun what he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, Ding Xiao felt much more relaxed.

In the past, he always had to pretend that he never knew that he and his father were driven away by the family. He couldn't comfort his father, nor could he be comforted by others.It wasn't until my cousin took me to a psychiatrist, that was the first time I told people these things that I had been holding back for so many years.Although Kun is not the first person to hear what he said, but Kun is the person in his heart, and pouring out his thoughts to the closest people is not a treatment method, but a kind of sharing, a kind of trust.

After that, the life of the two people was almost the same as before.Kun sometimes spends the night here with Xiaoxiao, but it may be because Ding Xiaoxiao had a cold before, so Kun at most just kissed the matter after that, and he didn't even solve it by himself.Most of the time, he started to go out early and return late, because the land would be thawed in less than three months, and he had to hurry up to prepare for himself and Xiaoxiao's new home.

The address of the house and farmland that Ding Xiao chose is the back of his own yard.Because of the need to protect the village, except for a few trees around the houses of the villagers to shade in summer, large trees will be cleared.This is done so that you can see more clearly if there is a beast sneaking in.It's just that the most taboo of the orcs is deforestation, so that piece of land doesn't seem to be big, and they have to reclaim an extra piece.

Ding Xiao carefully looked at the trees in the place he chose, most of them are the most common poplars here, and now they are bare.Kun originally wanted to cut down these trees to build a house, but Ding Xiao decided to keep these trees.Because most of the seeds they leave grow in the woods, it would be better for them to maintain their previous living environment.If it is planted in a large area and densely at once, it may not be very good.Moreover, many of these trees were obviously hundreds of years old. At least twenty of them could only be hugged by Ding Xiao and Kun, and there were six or seven trees that neither of them could hug.Frankly speaking, Ding Xiao was reluctant to cut down such trees. Even if there are so many trees of this age here, it would be a pity to cut down one tree and lose one.

Since Xiaoxiao said that it would not interfere with growing food, Kun naturally had to choose from a distant place for tree cutting.Usually hunting is fine, one or two prey can be pulled back no matter how hard they are, but trees are not easy to deal with.Whether it is pulling the whole tree back or tidying it up and getting it back, because they can only rely on the human form to transport it back, they can't take too much at a time.If the tree is big, it will be divided into two and three times.

So after tossing for a few days, Ding Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.It is suggested to solve the problem of the cart first.Even if it’s not a cart, it’s okay to drag it with two wheels.The big tiger himself still feels distressed.

With good tools, Kun believes that it will be much faster in the future than it is now. The saying "sharpening a knife is not a woodcutter by mistake" that he said with a smile is absolutely reasonable.So Kun nodded, and decided to settle the cart matter first before getting wood. Anyway, the "design" of Xiaoxiao's house has not been completed yet.

He Adie naturally also joined the team of making carts, and this time they also asked Peng Jia and Ge Zhong to participate.

This is actually what Kun means.First of all, the completion of the scooter is the collective contribution of everyone, and it will not bring suspicion and trouble to Xiaoxiao.Secondly, my father is the village head, and Uncle Ge Zhong is the patrol captain. They participated in it. He believes that even if this thing is extended to the entire tribe in the future, no one will bother him and Xiaoxiao.Kill two birds with one stone!

As a result of He Hekun's previous research, the biggest problem is actually the axis.According to the method of making doors, although the round wheels can roll, there is no way to fix the wheels and shafts.They too were fixed with bone nails and phobia.The fixed one is very strong, but it can't be turned.

After listening to Kun and He's explanation, Peng Jia and Ge Zhong also attached great importance to this car.Since it is used to transport goods, sturdiness is one of the most important keys.

The village chief specially approved a hardwood tree specially used for building houses to make carts. Of course, before they made large finished products, Ding Xiao suggested to make a small one with the small wood at home, so as not to waste good wood directly. .

This proposal was approved by all.So after the four males tossed and tossed from morning to night for two days, a simple, large-scale scooter appeared in front of Ding Xiao.

The size of the wheel is about [-] centimeters, which is indeed not big.The wheel and shaft are firmly fixed together.What makes the wheel turn is the round hole that is sleeved on the outside of the shaft.The entire body is a wooden board, and under the wooden board, four hollow columns protrude symmetrically around the four sides.The shaft passes through the circular hole in the center of the cylinder.In this way, when the "car" moves, the wheels below will naturally roll.It is also the most primitive bearing.

Ding Xiao is quite satisfied with the finished product.Volunteer to sit up and let Kun pull a circle in the yard.feel good.Although it is very bumpy, the ground in the yard is not as flat as the asphalt road, so it is natural to panic.In short, with this thing, he felt that at least it was not a big problem to transport things.The next step is to verify the sturdiness and coordination of the finished product.

It's time for food distribution.This time, this simple wooden "car" appeared in front of everyone.Although this test object is relatively small for males, it is much easier to use this cart to pull goods than to carry them directly with hands and shoulders, and it can also pull a lot of things.And Kun felt that as long as the car was pulled well, he could carry things on his shoulders and drag the car with his hands, so that the efficiency would be improved without delay.

Of course, new things, especially experimental products, cannot be without problems.However, it is not a big problem that the car always goes off track, and the person who pulls it for the first time cannot grasp the balance and drop things.Ding Xiao thinks that with the IQ and creativity of these big tigers, it won't take long to solve the problem.

When the first hardwood transport cart was completed, the village chief decided to hold a bonfire.And Kun, who was one of the protagonists at the banquet that day, was not present.Because he wants to live a two-person world with his family partner.Well, in fact, it’s just a small stove made by laughing and laughing.

The square is still far away from Xiaoxiao’s home, but hundreds of thousands of people gather together talking, laughing, eating and making noise, and they can hear it clearly at home.

Ding Xiao took a mouthful of pearl fruit porridge and put it in his mouth, thinking while eating.This wooden cart has been built. Wouldn’t it be easy to make a carriage, ox cart, donkey cart, etc. in the future?

Seeing Xiaoxiao's eyes rolling around, Kun couldn't help asking: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to play in the square?"

Ding Xiao shook his head: "I don't want to go. A group of people are making a lot of noise. It's better to eat quietly at home. But it seems inappropriate for you, an important person, not to go."

Kun removed the cartilage from the chicken breastbone and handed it to Xiaoxiao's bowl. "You are the most important thing, but you don't want people to know."

Looking at the crispy bones of the chicken that had been stewed until soft in the bowl, Ding Xiao bit down and chewed deliciously. "I'm just saying, it's not you who did it. It's just that I think hardwood is very strong, but it's also much heavier than ordinary wood, so it's easy to use. If you put more and heavier things on the car, one person It will be more difficult to pull, right?" Although Ding Xiao can push the cart when it is empty, it is obviously two or three times heavier than the one made of poplar.

"Our males are very strong, no problem. And the hardwood car should be used to transport wood and stones for building houses. So sturdiness is very important. Usually hunting the car is not used. Anyway, we will I have made this kind of car. When I usually use it, I use light ones. My father said to make more and transport goods during the spring market. Although the speed may be slower, it will be fine if you go two or three days in advance. It’s ok. The main reason is that if you bring more things, you can get more things in exchange. No matter how you say it, there are many benefits.”

Ding Xiao nodded: "That's right. Eat it quickly, the chicken soup won't taste good when it's cold. There's also the pork with yam, which is specially made for you. I saved it for Dad and Dad. This plate is all yours." .”

The author has something to say: the cart is finally basically done.It will continue to improve in the future.

I saw someone leave a message before, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction and contempt for Xiaoxiao's biological father.In fact, everyone and everything has its own way of life and way forward.Perfect people and perfect things do not exist.

Of course, Ding Xiao's father is very cowardly, and it is understandable that some people hate him.But for Ding Xiao, the father who gave birth to him is his closest and most important person.The position in his heart can never be replaced by others.

There are many things that Ding Xiao himself does not know. He is not a reader, nor is I the author, so even if his father was wrong, he did not see or understand.It was inevitable that he would resent in the past.After all, everyone lives in his own trajectory, and it is impossible for him to know everything, because he is not a god, and he does not know what happened 500 years ago.

In fact, Ding Xiao's father is just a trick in this article.Whether he is right or wrong has nothing to do with Wen himself.I'm not really sure why anyone would be obsessed with a character that doesn't even have a name.And in fact, things that are mentioned in one stroke will not be described so clearly at the beginning.I can't help people who give up without waiting for the final reason.In fact, reading articles is just for fun and entertainment, whether it is a reader or an author, a relaxed attitude is the best.

As I said at the beginning, this article will be very long.So there are many things that may have been mentioned earlier, but will be detailed again later.I just think there are many things that must be known under the right circumstances to be logical.At least that's my logic, maybe there's something wrong with this.
