Orcs through the age

Speaking of this quack fruit, I really don't know what miraculous effect it has. It is worth Lu Yin's desperate efforts to pick it, and it almost killed Luo Lei.

It tastes like an apple, well, it's a little sweeter than an apple, that's the only thing that can be praised.It's smaller than an apple, and it's nothing special except that the skin and flesh are all red, and the taste is not as good as the Chilu fruit here.At least Chilu fruit can be called our kind of purple-black cherries. Although it looks a bit like a plump Fengshui pear, it tastes like cherries.As for the thing that looks like our cherries here, it’s called Grugo (probably the sound), but the taste should be like the gooseberry we defined, the kind of red that everyone picks. Bring it to Luo Lei to make fruit wine, it seems that it is particularly good to make fruit wine with this?As for the kind that is black like black currant, everyone can eat it directly.

In fact, there are many wild fruits here, but I really don't have time to sort them out.So I know only a few kinds, except for the one mentioned above, one is the apple that grows towards us, but tastes like passion fruit. My wish is to plant a few trees for making wine in the future; there is another The kind looks like an orange, but the pulp inside tastes like mango. Ari likes to squeeze the juice from that stuff; It's easy to rot, and most adults here can hardly eat it-probably because most of the females here are actually thick hands and feet...

Seeing Luo Lei holding that fruit, my first reaction was that he wants to eat it too?But his expression is not the same, and A Miao has repeatedly told me that I should eat more of this fruit, and eat it as soon as possible.

However, doesn't it mean that this is a fruit that enhances physical fitness?It shouldn't matter if you feed the wounded.Thinking of this, I said reluctantly: "Do you want to eat too? I'll wash it for you..." After saying that, I dropped what I was doing and prepared to wash one for him to eat.

It's just that before I got the fruit in his hand, I saw him take his hand away: "No, I don't want to eat it, have you eaten it?"

I nodded, isn't this nonsense, I still had half of it in my mouth just now.Speaking of it, although I don't like eating apples, it's okay to eat them once in a while without eating fruit for a long time.

It's just that when I nodded, his facial twitch became more obvious, and he even stared at me without blinking, as if he wanted to see a flower from my face.

I can't figure it out, what's wrong with me eating a piece of fruit?Or that I can't eat this thing?Or should it not be eaten like this?Am I the one who eats bananas and eats banana peels?

I frowned at him, waiting for his answer.I saw Rona walking in through the door with Ari, probably the work of the morning was almost done.Seeing that Luo Lei and I were sitting in the hall, they yelled "Abba, Ahhh" in unison and walked towards us together.

Seeing the fruit on the ground, the first reaction of Ari, a snack foodie, was to eat one.In this regard, I never want to control too much.Originally, there were not many things to eat here, especially for children.Think about my nephew in the past, eating and playing a lot, he still saw this and wanted that.For Rona and Ari, I always feel that they are actually very pitiful, and they haven't even eaten a few fruits.And since they came to our house, they are really sensible and distressing.Just like two days ago, Rona picked two fruits for Ari, and Ari secretly left one for me.So in terms of life, I don't mind giving them a taste of everything that can be eaten, so that they can be fed and clothed.

But, before I tell Ari, he must wash the fruit before eating, lest there will be residual dust, spider silk and wild yeast on it. He is too young to be afraid of spoiling his stomach.Seeing that Luo Na's face suddenly turned red suspiciously, he snatched the quack fruit from Ari's hand: "You can't eat this."

A Rui seemed to be taken aback, looked at his brother, then at me, cried and threw himself into my arms, almost made me fall to the board again, luckily Luo Lei stretched out his hand from the side and pulled me Unsurprisingly, his face twitched again, but this one should obviously be painful.

I signaled Rona to look at Luo Lei’s wound with my eyes, and I hugged Ari in my arms and patted him twice: “Okay, don’t cry, if you can’t eat it, you can’t eat it, let’s eat it later Roast bear's paws, Ari and Ahma will pick two radishes later, okay? Stew some radish bone soup at noon. It's okay, brother is worried about Ari..."

Seeing that Rona had seen Luo Lei's wound, he nodded to me. It seemed that the wound hadn't opened. Why can't Ari eat it?"

Obviously, he didn't expect that I would ask such a question, or that I didn't know this fruit. Rona's face turned red, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say.

I don't think he could say anything, and finally he could only turn his eyes to Luo Lei who was calming down his pain.

Luo Lei seemed to take a deep breath for a while, and the pain was gone. When he met my eyes, he could still smile, and handed me another fruit: "This, it's not a quack fruit..."

I'm a little surprised, isn't this quack fruit?Then why did Lu Yin have to give it to me?No matter how much I refuse, you must give it to me.They are all from the same tribe, and I don't believe that Lu Yin and A Miao would specially feed me poisonous or bad things.So, I waited even more curiously for Luo Lei to continue talking to me.

Putting the fruit in his hand aside, he looked at Rona who was standing aside and Ari who was sitting next to me listening, Role looked at me with gentle but inexplicable lingering eyes: "Well, this It's not quack fruit, it's the fruit of a tree that grows together with quack fruit, we call it Chongchong fruit. Quack fruit trees and Chongchong fruit trees have always grown together, and where you can see quack fruit trees, you can see Chongchong fruit trees. According to the legend of the Xingzu tribe, quack fruit can improve the physique of females who are about to give birth, allowing them to give birth more safely. Baby." He smiled and looked at me, "Actually, what Gunan didn't know was that not only the Xing clan had such legends, but the Yi clan also had such legends. However, the Yi clan had a higher birth rate than the Xing clan, and Probably because the children of the Yi tribe are born smaller than those of the Xing tribe, and the females of the Yi tribe have a higher probability of giving birth safely, so the Yi tribe generally would not take the risk to do such a thing.”

Having said that, he glanced at the few remaining "Chong Chong Guo" and smiled at me, "I just didn't expect Lu Yin to think of this." Ari, who couldn't eat the fruit and was a little frustrated: "Don't be sad, Ari. You can't eat this fruit until you grow up. When you grow up and get married, Dad and brother will pick the fruit for you to eat."

Hearing this, Ari's face naturally changed from cloudy to sunny.Anyway, he didn't know anything about it, he was just happy to hear that there was something to eat.

It’s just that I still don’t understand. They all look the same. I also vaguely saw the fruit that Lu Yin carried on his back yesterday. They were all mixed together. It's just cyan. I also noticed that all the fruits that Lu Yin gave me were red.

Maybe my puzzled expression was too obvious, Rona explained to me with some embarrassment: "Well, the quack fruit is blue, and the Chongchong fruit is red. Although they look the same, they are easy to distinguish, and they are really useful. In the past, Abba, the Abba of the Xing clan, ate this for Ah Mo of the Xing clan, and then gave birth to A Rui's..."

Seeing that Rona believes in the effect of this thing very much, I don't have much to say.He had no choice but to nod and asked Rona to put away the few fruits first, and then took Ari to the yard to pick radishes.

In my heart, I have already scolded Lu Yin many times for not explaining it clearly to me. This guy brought me this fruit, but he didn't even tell me about it, causing me to lose face in front of Luo Lei now.I also ate that fruit!No wonder Luo Lei always stares at me, even Rona looks back and forth between me and Luo Lei from time to time...

I originally wanted to give the fruit to others, but Luo Lei refused to let it go, and said that Lu Yin and A Miao gave it to us to express our gratitude and apology. If I gave it to others, what would they think?How uncomfortable will they feel?I also think it makes sense for him to say that, so I just don't care what he does with this small bag of fruit.

Since Rory woke up, the atmosphere in our house started to improve a lot.Although Luo Lei didn't go hunting today, thanks to traps and other blessings, we actually have enough food every day. Sometimes, if I slaughter a rabbit or catch a fish at home, the meat distributed by the clan can still hang Get up and make guanciale.So even if Luo Lei didn't go out, the food distributed to us by the clan is still enough. Even if it's not enough, I can go to the yard to kill a rabbit or something.

At noon we cooked a large pot of radish stew, and put a lot of wild pork in it. Luo Lei and the two little ones were very happy.Originally, I wanted to give Luo Lei a roast bear's paw alone.But after he ate for a while, he said he couldn't eat anymore and insisted on giving it to us.I looked at how Rona and Ari were still eating, and I didn't share the half of the bear's paw.I just drank more loofah soup. For people like me who are used to rice as the staple food and meat as the only dish, vegetables are more delicious.

Although I want Luo Lei to drink more loofah soup, it may be good for his wounds.But he frowned and had a bitter face, and he only drank half a bowl for a long time, but he ate a bowl of radish stew in a while.Well, this is male, animal instinct.So I can only go with him, the most injured.Originally, I wanted to make steamed fish with fermented soybeans, but because of the taboo of the wounded, I still didn't make it after thinking about it. After all, even the high priest didn't know what effect the fish here had on the people here.So let's wait until he recovers.

For the staple food, I specially made potato pancakes. Although for Luo Lei and the others, meat is the staple food, this is just a snack between the teeth.Use pre-cooked potatoes mixed with semolina and beaten eggs to fry in oil. The deep-fried butter is moist and fragrant.Although it is more fuel-intensive, the family is still very happy to eat, even Luo Lei ate several.Ari wanted to eat more, but I was afraid he would get angry, so I didn't give it to him.He moved to Luo Lei and looked at the potato cakes in Luo Lei's bowl.At last Rolley gave him another from his own bowl, and he ate some more carrots himself.

In fact, Luo Lei loves children more than I do, and he loves unconditionally, and he simply responds to every request.Sometimes when I think about it, I worry, if it is me and his child, will he be spoiled by him?Just education, I probably have to work hard enough, and I get a headache just thinking about it.

In mid-to-late September, we began to harvest potatoes officially.After nearly ten days of recuperation, Luo Lei has also recovered a lot. Although he can't go out to hunt yet, he can already patrol and walk around the clan for a while.The high priest said that in about ten days, they should be able to go hunting.I also have to admire the recovery speed of these orcs.With such a big wound, we probably need to be hospitalized for a month or two.

But because he was injured and recovered, even I had to start doing things in the clan again because I had to take care of him.Even if everyone knows that I need a lot of time to study and think about other things, and the things given to me are only about half of others, it is still not easy to guide them to harvest potatoes and dig cellars.

Although they have eaten potatoes before, for the sake of safety, I emphasized at the monthly meeting of the clan that we must pay attention to the problem of eating, especially for these parents, we must pay attention to the condition of the potatoes that are given to their children .Everyone saw that I was serious, and they couldn't help becoming serious, but nothing happened for many years.It is just to instruct them to dig the cellar, and to run around the whole plantation to see the growth and storage conditions of the dug potatoes, and to check the conditions of these animals from time to time.Luo Lei still can't get tired, and the animals in the house have to be fed. Although I have the help of the more and more capable Rona, it still makes me very tired.When I got home, I cooked and fed several people in the family, took a shower, fell on the bed and refused to move any more.

Since the fourth day, Luo Lei has moved back to bed and slept.Although I should have paid more attention not to let me overwhelm his wounds, but because he really insisted on going back to bed and would not let me sleep on the bamboo bed, we still huddled together to sleep.

Every time I fell on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, I could feel Luo Lei reaching out, rubbing my shoulders and back for me, and then sighing behind my back.

Isn't this all for a better life, otherwise I would not work so hard, you look at our life, think about our past, and compare it with the aquariums in the downstream now, you know that hard work has results.

Although it is indeed a bit too tired, every day when I lie down, my back hurts and I want to bark my teeth.Every morning I don't want to get up again.I don't even want to think about other things...

And this kind of day is not just for a while, but for a month, from mid-to-late September to mid-October, after the potatoes are harvested, cotton is harvested. When the cotton is drying, I have to watch them harvest sweet potatoes and guide them. They dig cellars to store potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they are repeatedly warned about the proper use of the cellar.But Luo Lei was injured first and couldn't help, and then he had to prepare for the family's winter, and he was extremely busy, so I had to suffer by myself.To say sad, I feel really sad.

After finishing the family affairs, I have to collect and store the vegetables grown at home, eat the ones that cannot be collected, and save the seeds for the ones that need to be planted.I collected more than [-] big pumpkins and put them on the shelf at home. I can open them when I want to eat them. If I don’t open them, they won’t spoil easily.I have no choice but to stop eating the loofah. I got too old ones to make loofah.I also piled up some radishes and onions and threw them in the cellar, and the rest of the radishes were sun-dried radishes, and I threw them into soup to cook when needed. Although dried radishes and boiled meat are not very delicious, there is no me here. I can't make stir-fried vegetables if I want the wok, and even if I make dried radish fried meat, I can't imagine that they eat this as a staple food.Stir-frying dried radish and meat is oily, and the frying is not as much as cooking, so I don’t want to do it for the time being, but if life is better, I will consider asking Gunan to cook a few pots for me.Because our cellar is full of potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions and the like, I'm actually a little worried about whether the potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions in the cellar will germinate, we can only say next spring.Leave the seeds of onion, ginger and garlic and wait for planting next year.

Our cellar is actually very big, but with so many things, I still want to get some ice cubes to put in it, but it still seems a little insufficient, but I don’t have time to dig it now, so Luo Lei promised me to help me put it in next summer. Dig a larger cellar.As for the ice cubes, I still asked Gunan to help me make several square clay pots, and I asked Luo Lei to make several wooden pots, which I planned to use to make ice cubes.

Since Luo Lei recovered, he still took the hunters to hunt every day, and when he came back, he inspected the tribe's winter reserves. He was also very busy.And he has just recovered from a serious injury. As far as I am concerned, I still hope that he will not be so tired.However, for the patriarch Luo Lei, my advice is completely useless. Even if I tell him this, I worry that he will be sad, so I can only let him go.

As far as our own family is concerned, in fact, the family no longer distributes things to us, and we can live well no matter whether it is winter or this year.Moreover, the clan currently has nine cows, nineteen sheep, 32 wild boars, more than 400 fat rabbits, a pond full of no less than five or six hundred fish, and our family gave the clan to cook Ten wild geese, ten wild ducks and fifteen young turkeys were planted.Everyone has a total of thousands of catties of barley, wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., and everyone in the clan should be able to live on.If it wasn't for everyone getting used to the hard life, they would be afraid that there would be not enough food, and would rather store more, even if we eat these, it would be enough for us to eat for half a year.

However, in order to raise these animals, we have built six new warehouses near the breeding pen just for the hay and wheat grains we have stockpiled.

Our house used to be stacked with firewood and hay in front of the porch, mill and toilet partly.Now that there are more and more animals, I had to ask Luo Lei to find a few people to demolish a vegetable field and build a bigger warehouse.I'm used to the convenience of running water, piped gas, etc., and I didn't raise anything at the time. I didn't expect this kind of need. Now that I have raised so many animals, I realized that it is impossible to build a house without a large warehouse. , it seems that a special warehouse must be built.

After cleaning up all the things this winter, I took the time to show you how to dry cotton. I also made a wooden spinning machine and a simple frame-shaped loom for everyone to learn how to dry cotton. Spinning, how to weave, seeing everyone's smooth or tangled finished products, I began to imagine what it would be like to wear all kinds of cotton clothes next year... As for cotton jackets and quilts, adults feel that there is no such thing for the time being. Necessary, only those who have children at home will feel sorry for the children and leave some cotton for them to make padded jackets.

Because the baby is about to be born, Ahman really can't do these things, and they want to make some cotton clothes for the baby, so their cotton is all entrusted to our family.

I think so too, although many children born here in the past were brought up casually, just like the little tiger Luo Lai (or Lu Lai) of Luo Lie's family, I have never seen them take special care of him, especially After he can walk by himself, he is put outside to let him chase the children in the clan to play.When he was born, he couldn't drink the broth and was almost given up.When Ah Xing was only two or three months old, he was already doing family affairs.As for Luo Lei and Luo Lie's ah, there is no such thing as grandparents bringing grandchildren.When Ah Xing was doing things, he just put him in the pile of animal skins at home.So although he is a weak little thing in my opinion, he grew up through struggles.

But in my opinion, for such a low birth rate, the child should be taken care of carefully, at least before he can walk by himself, he should pay more attention.At that time there were no conditions.Now that the living environment has improved, it is necessary to give them a corresponding improvement in the living environment.So in addition to using the cotton sent by Xin Mu to help them spin a few pieces of cloth, I also used the cotton left over from here to make a small quilt for their little baby to wrap up and sleep in the future. It was cotton sent by Sim Mu.Sim Mu and Ah Man also understand that such things should not be talked about nonsense. Apart from being very grateful to Luo Lei and me, they also kept their mouths the same.But I'm just too bad at sewing clothes, so I let Ah Man do it himself.

After all this work, it’s winter when I can relax a bit. I do some things that I don’t usually have time to do every day, and I also take care of the food for the family of four. Teach A Rui spinning and weaving, and occasionally chat with Ah Man who came over.Every day, I have to patrol the tribe with Luo Lei twice.Although it is also busy, it is much better than spring and autumn.So the spirit is also more sufficient.

But at night, it's time for me to face Luo Lei...
