Orcs through the age

At the end of November and the beginning of December, the high priest said that there might be a blizzard in the near future, and the clansmen began to move into the cave. There are only 97 people in our clan, but the cave is estimated to hold hundreds of people, so we stored a lot of things. Now the tribe treats me and Luo Lei very preferentially, and we also occupy a very large space. Of course, we also need such a large space. Just storing my private goods, I don’t know how much space I need.

Before entering the cave, I asked Luo Lei to kill the two young wild boars and deer that had grown a lot, and shared half of the meat with the tribe. There is no way to raise them after moving into a cave.I secretly made up my mind in my heart that by the time I settle down completely next year, I will definitely start raising cattle, pigs, sheep, deer, rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese, and raise everything I can.

I processed everything that could be processed, and the rabbits I raised were also made into dried rabbits.And after these three months, those four rabbits have turned into a dozen or so, not including the two I gave to Ah Man and the two females I gave to the patriarch, all of them are plump.But even so, I don't intend to give up the well-behaved calf and the ewe that I feed with soybeans. After all, the calf is a gift from Rory, and it is also one of the labors in our family. In winter, I also plan to rely on it to move firewood when there is not enough firewood.Wild sheep, its milk is a good thing for calcium supplementation in winter.In order to let the wild sheep stay in peace, the two lambs are of course kept, but they are not allowed to drink the ewe's milk, they are slightly separated from the ewe, and they are fed to graze.I figured next year might be my first livestock if they weren't eaten over the winter.

Because we planned to eat alone, we had stored a lot of things, and finally we had to dismantle our big tent into the cave.

The cave is on the mountainside behind the tribe. It is a large gourd-shaped stone cave. The entrance is about eight or nine meters wide and five or six meters high. After entering, there is a relatively spacious egg-shaped hallway, about [-] square meters. Entering it is a large oblate stone cave with an area of ​​four to five hundred square meters. The cave is relatively neat as a whole, and some dangerous places are propped up with wood. It can be seen that the clan has maintained this cave.

In the past, the clansmen usually set up tents around this big cave, and then made a fire in the middle to make food, which was warm and had enough space.Because the clan will send people to set fire and tidy up before entering, so the cave is still clean, but the lighting is not very ideal.The lighting in the egg-shaped hallway is relatively good, probably because it is said to be a hallway. In fact, except for a little opening on both sides, it is only covered by the stone cornices on the top. The big cave inside can only be seen at the entrance. light, it appears darker.

I brought too many things and living things into the cave, and we ate alone, so I asked Luo Lei to apply to the patriarch and we put up the tent in the spacious hall, which occupied a relatively large hall. On one side, the smaller side is reserved for the male on duty to light the fire and guard.The calf was tied to the side of the cave where we piled up a lot of firewood. In order to prevent it from freezing, I also covered the calf with a piece of animal skin.A few sheep were placed in a large wooden cage next to it, and a lot of hay was spread in the wooden cage.Next to it is our tent.

Now that I had made up my mind to build a house next year, I asked Raleigh to put his little tent and mine together to make a bigger tent.Roy sleeps on the bed I made and is a little stretched out, but if I put a bigger simple wooden bed in my tent, it won't be able to fit those stone pots, stone pots and clay pots.The two tents are put together, and the space is larger.Luo Lei moved quickly and did things very carefully. He quickly set up the extended tent and brought in the bed he made.

Luo Lei is used to sharing the same bed with me, because when it gets cold in winter, I will also huddle with him, after all, it is too cold for me.The winter here makes me feel a bit like an ice age. Of course, it shouldn’t be that serious. It’s just that for someone who is used to working in an air conditioner in a down jacket, such cold makes me psychologically unbearable.Besides, Luo Lei's body is very warm. If we sleep together, we can put two animal skin blankets together to cover them.Doubled the warmth, and probably my psychological one too.

A row of wooden shelves and wooden boxes were placed in our tent near the wall of the cave, and a lot of meat was placed or hung on them, and a lot of food was stored in the wooden boxes, which is believed to be enough for Luo Lei and me to eat for three months. In fact, the time in the cave is usually only two months, so we don't have to be afraid of any changes.That bed played a great role in the winter when we usually don't go out. We put it next to the stone basin for the fire all winter, covered with hay and animal skins, and it can be used as a stool and as a bed when we sleep. , can be considered more comfortable.The patriarch's female and the two members of Xin Mu's family also found it once when they came, clamoring that when spring comes, they will also make one, and I naturally agree.

After the whole clan moved in, the clan organized the males to block half of the entrance with a few large stones about two or three meters high, leaving only half of the gap near the narrower hallway with bundled logs If you want to go out, you need to find a few males to move the logs away or climb on the stones to pass.Behind those stones lay our firewood and hay for our cattle and sheep, and the whole pile was nearly near the roof of the cave.Because the stones and logs blocking the entrance are not high, it does not affect the lighting, but it blocks the wind for us who pitched tents behind the stones.

Since we occupied the position of the exit, I also offered to carry water for the people in the clan.It just so happened that a few days after we moved in, there was a lot of snow outside. The people in the clan were naturally very happy, after all, it is not easy to carry water or break ice from the side of the warm fire to the outside.I live on the outside side anyway, so I don't care.

Two days before we moved in, Luo Lei and I climbed the stones blocking the entrance of the cave and went outside to hunt. The two of us collaborated and hunted a lot of prey, and let the tribe share some fresh meat.Later, after it snowed, it was too cold, so we studied how to make boots in the tent. Of course, I said, Luo Lei made it.In fact, I also made a pair of clogs before, but it is very simple, and it is okay to wear in winter, it is too cold.Now I am going to make two pairs of hide boots.

Luo Lei is really very smart, even among other tribesmen with the same ingenuity, he is absolutely outstanding, as long as I describe my thoughts to him, he can do it in the same way.So I asked him to cut two wooden boards about three centimeters thick for me according to the slightly larger size of his feet. Of course, the wooden boards were made of softer and lighter wood, otherwise it would be difficult to cut.After cutting it, he asked him to trim one side to fit the shape of the foot, and evenly carved some notches on the back to increase the friction and reduce the weight. I used a homemade stone drill to drill some holes along the charcoal line.After two days or so, the sole finally succeeded.I sewed two layers of soles out of the rabbit skin prepared by Luo Lei after I killed the rabbit last time.

When Luo Lei was making wooden soles, I also used a thick layer of furry rabbit skin to make the uppers on the side. Of course, I can’t expect my needlework, but it’s better than others have done it. He made changes while following the model, and Luo Lei was not picky.In order to keep warm, I made long boots, and the boots were made higher. I was afraid that he would not be able to wear them if his figure changed, so I made them into lace-up ones.After the upper and the casing were finished, I sewed them several times with the twisted linen thread, and sewed the upper and the casing firmly together. The finished original boots looked a bit like Eskimo boots. But it is also very suitable to wear in such a cold winter.

Luo Lei was a little uncomfortable when he first put it on, but I forced him to wear it. After a day or two, he got used to it and felt warmer. The soles of the feet are born.

It took two days, and we also made a pair of boots for myself. When we were standing by the brazier to warm up the fire, Roy actually lifted me up, which scared me enough. I was also flustered when I left the ground.Fortunately, just one moment, he put me down, and then hugged me tightly in his arms.

I always think he is like a big pet, well, although this pet is sometimes very fierce, such as when I want to instigate him to sneak out, such as when I can't sleep or wake up and use uncut nails on him When crossing the star.I told him I was zinc deficient so I had ADHD and he gave me a glare and pulled me into his arms to put me to sleep.He has become more and more used to cuddling me to sleep, and he likes to lock me in his arms with all fours together.Sometimes I feel haunted.But I dare not tell him that I think he is a ghost, he must not understand and continue to ignore, maybe even get angry.And I'm used to sleeping with a warm person behind me.Maybe it's too cold in autumn and winter.

Since I had Luo Lei, I found that I don't need to do many things, I just need to order him.But before I moved in in the winter, I pretty much did the drying and salting of meat, and the storage of grain, in order for Raleigh to make me a stone mill, two stone pots, a stone pound, and a pile of wood. Boxes, wooden bowls, wooden basins, etc. Before moving to the cave, I used about [-] catties of rapeseed to press some vegetable oil by hand.Rapeseeds are steamed and then pounded. There is a lot of oil residue, and the oil yield is average. Fortunately, Luo Lei is strong. If it were me, half of the oil would not be able to be produced.

Those two little wild boars were raised very fat by me. When I divided the wild boars after killing them, I didn't ask for lean meat, so I picked up the fat and collected them. I fried them in a small pot of oil, which probably weighed several catties.About ten catties of vegetable oil are stored in bamboo cans, and wild boar oil in a small wooden basin is used sparingly, and winter should not be too sad.

To reward Roy, I ground some flour and fried semolina the day after I finished making the shoes.Although it is not a good thing, this fragrance still attracted a few lively children in the clan, followed by their apologetic parents.Children are not taboo, so they opened the curtain of the tent and asked, "Papa Luo Lei, what delicious food is Anuoa doing?"

While their parents pulled them back with apologies, they also showed a hint of greed.So, I had no choice but to give a small piece of fried noodles to all the people in the clan. I used up almost all the wild pork fat and the wild eggs, wild duck eggs, and wild goose eggs I stored, which made me sad.

When he was ordered to deliver small pancakes to the tribe with those children, every time Luo Lei came back, the air pressure on his body seemed more cheerful. Later, I think he even smiled, and the joy and pride in his eyes couldn’t be hidden. .

Well, I decided to bear with it.

The patriarch's female and Aman came to help me when I was planning to make a piece of bread for the tribe. They were also surprised when they looked at the stone mill, and they were also surprised when they looked at the wheat. They were amazed and doing things at the same time, but there was no delay .

Before leaving, the patriarch's female took my hand, but said nothing.I have a feeling of mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, and I despise my powerful brain supplement function in my heart.

In order to ensure the air in the cave, no matter how cold it is, the tribe will go to the toilet outside the cave, and then cover it with mud and snow, but the buttocks will be cold.Especially if you accidentally touch the snow, you will feel as if your butt is frozen.I hate this feeling, and when I scrape my butt with a broken stick, it hurts too.I miss paper, even straw paper.But I only have a very rough impression of handmade paper, and I don't know when it will be successful.

Because my idea brought a lot of benefits and surprises to everyone, I decided to strike while the iron was hot to get things done in the house, so I told the patriarch and the high priest after moving the ice for everyone one day, I plan to wait for spring to come. The tribe builds a wooden house, so they don't have to move to the cave in winter, they can stay at home.It is also more convenient to keep animals after being fixed, and avoid bringing them into the cave for fear of being unclean.

Although I was surprised, the patriarch and the high priest also agreed, and even the clan decided to wait for the beginning of spring to help me build a house according to my idea. If it is built well, we will build wooden houses for the whole clan in summer.People in the clan thought it was a novelty, but they all agreed.

Luo Lei always stood by my side and listened carefully to what I said.As soon as I got back to our tent I started asking how I was going to build it and what to do.I am very glad that he has such enthusiasm, and I also talked to him about my ideas. He listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time.It also opened up ideas for me.He seemed to be wishing for spring to come quickly so that he could go out and build a house. I told him that I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he asked me what is tofu.I suddenly felt quite stupid, so I had to fool around and say that this is a kind of food dedicated to the gods, white and tender.He looked confused, so I just smiled and told him that we would cook and eat if we had the chance.He asked me very worriedly, can we also eat the food of God?Of course I fooled him again, but maybe because it was a matter of God, he didn't despise me, which made me secretly happy for a long time.

I'm used to lying on the bed behind Luo Lei when he's sitting in front of the brazier doing things, and wandering away. poke, or play with his hair, luckily he usually doesn’t have a tail, otherwise I would probably play with his tail, even a lion’s tail can’t be touched (Luo Lei: I have something else, do you want to play with it?) .

By the way, I also taught him some hieroglyphs, such as the sun, the moon, fire and so on. He quickly told me, a teacher who is not good at learning, that he had nothing to teach, so he could only send him to think about it by himself.Later, he came up with a set of simple characters, which is of course a later story.
