Orcs through the age

To be honest, carrying bloody wild boar and wild beef, three or four catties of salt, twenty catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and twenty catties of pheasants and hares hanging dangling from behind. The two little wild boars were struggling a bit, and when I was walking out step by step, my hands suddenly lightened.

What I saw when I looked back was half of a handsome face and the other half was covered by a piece of obliquely round cowhide, revealing only the resolute and somewhat sharp corners of the lips—this was Luo Lei.It was the first time I saw his face with my own eyes.

To be honest, I don't think it's scary. His edges and corners are very sharp, and he looks like the heroine of a shoujo manga. I don't know if his face is clean-shaven or his hair is not thick, although his Abba patriarch has a circle that looks like a painting He has a small curly beard like a medieval European, but his face is relatively clean, and he doesn't see any obvious stubble. He is much better-looking than the primitive people with unshaven beards in the pictures I remember.

Because of a lot of sun exposure, the skin is wheat-colored, and the sharp eyes and the tight corners of the lips give people a feeling of calmness and prestige.The long hair in the shawl covered most of his left face, and with the blindfold on, the scar was naturally almost invisible, except for a small scar on the forehead and the bridge of the nose.

He was tall, growing even taller in the approaching evening sun.It is said that his eyes are not blind, and he will put away the blindfold when hunting, and usually wear blindfolds for the females in the clan.From this point of view, I think he is a very considerate person, and he is the kind of person who is good at not doing much. I don't know why the females of the clan have to speak so badly of him.

Because he took over my things, the tribe had some discussions, but he turned back to the patriarch and said: "Patriarch, I will help A Nuo to send the things back, and come back to pick up mine later."

The patriarch nodded in agreement, and besides, he and I were already engaged. Although the one he was engaged to was Arnold, my body was Arnold, so everyone just talked about it and didn’t say much. Many males and young people The tall female even teased kindly, whispering things like "I'm starting to develop a relationship" and "The relationship is really good".

Anyway, there will be eight women everywhere, I have heard malicious gossip, this kind of kindness I just think that everyone is full and has nothing to do, but in fact they are not full and have nothing to do, so I don’t care at all .

Naturally, I would be happy if someone helped me, so I handed him the two little wild boars in my hand, and threw the two pieces of meat that made me feel greasy to him, and took the pheasant and hare in my hands next. , Smiling at the clansmen again, I went to my tent under the escort of Luo Lei.

After Luo Lei gave me the meat in the stone basin used to store meat at home, he stood aside until I put everything else in the corner, and then he showed me what to do with the two little wild boars. I probably thought I was going to kill the little wild boar to eat, so I had already pulled out his bone knife. I smiled at him and said, "I plan to raise this wild boar before I eat it."

He seemed a little surprised, but the paralyzed face remained almost unchanged, only a ripple flashed in the eyes, and it soon recovered: "If you don't grow up, they will run out when you grow up."

I shook my head: "It's okay, I want to give it a try, maybe I won't run away this time."

He looked at me for a while, and finally nodded: "Then where are you going to raise me?"

Only then did I remember that I wanted to raise them, but there was no pigsty here, and there was no place to tie them down, which made it difficult for me. Fortunately, Luo Lei reacted quickly and took the lead in carrying two small wild boars to a place behind the tent. I moved a few wooden stakes from nowhere to the door of my tent at a very fast speed, and knocked the wooden stakes hard into the soil. Wild boar, better tie it up.

I followed behind him and looked at his series of actions, and I laughed a little. With so many times of tying, it would be better to build a small pigsty around those wooden posts, and then put a wooden post in the middle. The baby boar will also be more comfortable.

Seeing that I seemed to want to laugh, he stopped his hands and looked at me quietly, with an innocent look on the contrary.

He is 24 this year, eight years older than Anuo, but I am actually 28, four years older than him. Seeing his expression, I don’t know why I am shamefully cute. Move the stakes to the back of the house, surround the tree, and tie the little wild pig to the tree, so that it is stronger and the little wild pig is more comfortable?"

After hearing what I said, he paused for a while, then nodded, and was about to tear down the stakes again.

I saw from a distance that the people in the square were about to disperse, and probably the patriarch was about to finish the distribution, so I stopped him: "This is not a matter of a while, and it will take a while, you might as well go get yours first." The food, after eating at night, do it?"

He looked up at the square, and seemed to think that what I said made sense, so he nodded. First, I quickly washed the two pieces of meat in the room with the water I brought back in the morning, and then used a bone knife to wash them. Cut into the thickness of a knuckle, smear it with salt powder and put it in a stone basin, take out some honey collected in the grove a few days ago for later use, and use a stone bowl to fill a bowl of water to soak ginger , took the rabbit to the back of the tent to clean it up, and by the way, took some salt and walked around the back of the tent to feed the little wild boar.

When I returned to the door of the tent with the cleaned rabbit, I saw that Luo Lei had brought back his prey, and took a small piece of the stone basin with bacon in my tent from his pile of prey. He turned around and seemed to want to go out again.

I hurriedly freed a hand to hold him: "Let's eat together today, and we can do things later."

He didn't know what he was thinking, and he was stunned for a moment before putting all the prey wrapped in huge leaves on the ground.When I saw that he agreed, I was naturally happy. It would be easier on my conscience to repay him a little bit, so I patted his hand with my empty hand: "Go and wash your hands first. I'll prepare for it." food."

I didn't expect that the act of patting his hand was met with his quick dodge, well, I admit, he is still very pure, so I became shamefully black-bellied again, and I wanted to move him even more, but look at him It seemed that I was enduring the appearance of wanting to escape, so I decided to give up, maybe he would really run away.So I just started to take flint and plan to make a fire.

It takes skill to make a fire with flint. It is not at the same level as matches. Maybe it’s because I knocked the fire a few times before it ignites. The person who stood watching me finally came over and took it from me. flint, start the fire.

I felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up the ginger that had been soaking for a while and prepared to peel it, and I also concealed my embarrassment by the way.

He is a skilled worker, and he lit the fire in the firepit in two or three strokes. While lighting the fire, he said: "The things in your hands cannot be eaten. Although they are not poisonous, they are very uncomfortable to eat, and the mouth and throat are uncomfortable. Don't eat it."

I guess someone in the clan has gnawed ginger, so he told me not to eat it. Later, I found out that the person who gnawed ginger was the high priest of the clan who had the spirit of Shennong tasting herbs, but because he tasted it, he almost missed it. of seasonings.If you want to eat ginger as a fruit, of course you can’t, but after processing it or making it into a seasoning, ginger is really good, and ginger is also a good medicine in many earth recipes.

While sharpening with a bone knife, I smiled and said, "I didn't plan to eat it like this. That thing should be useful for other things. You wash your hands first, and I will do it. I will call you later. Otherwise, you can go and remove the wooden stake first." It’s okay.” He lit the fire, glanced at me, didn’t say anything, got up and opened the curtain of the tent and walked out.

Without his coercion, I felt relieved. To be honest, his coercion was a bit too strong. Although he didn't express any displeasure, it just made people feel a little breathless.This is probably why the females are afraid to talk to him in the first place.Here, the more ferocious the beast-shaped male, the heavier the coercion, and the more serious the character, the stronger the coercion.The patriarch's coercion is also great, but because he is usually relatively kind, everyone is not afraid of him, but the coercion of Luo Lei, who is always expressionless, is a bit overwhelming.Now that he's out, I get to work on dinner.

On the road just now, I gave some of the potato-like thing to the two little wild boars. The two little wild boars did not show any abnormalities, and they were still quite alive, so I preliminarily judged that it was edible, but I Now I dare not give it to Luo Lei. After all, he is different from me. If I have something, it is my own business. Anyway, Arnold doesn't want to live anymore.But he is the fighting power and labor force of the clan, I can't let him take risks.So I dumped those potatoes in the corner, and planned to make a honey barbecue, stew a pheasant, and then roast a rabbit for him to eat, and then simmered some roasted sweet potatoes over the fire.As for the potatoes, I will observe the little wild boar for another day, and tomorrow I will eat stewed meat myself.

I don't know how much a male orc eats for a meal, but looking at the prey he put on the ground, the piece of meat that is enough for me to eat is probably enough for him to eat [-]% to [-]% full, so I put him in that basin The wild bison meat was also washed and cut, rubbed with salt powder, and squeezed some ginger juice and mixed with the cut meat, ready to eat together later.I'm not very polite to him either. He started delivering meat to me a few days ago. In the past, he sometimes delivered food to A Nuo instead of the patriarch, and this meal was not bad.

Of course, bison meat is better than wild boar meat, and it doesn't have that unmanageable fishy smell, but every time he gives me the tastier prey of the day, I'm used to it (it's terrible Habit).Anyway, today is for him to eat, it would be good if I can make more, if it is the first time I invite someone to dinner and let him not be full, I would be too embarrassed.

Wipe the cleaned rabbit with chopped ginger and scraped salt powder and place it on the stone slab by the firepit.I took a pottery pot and hung it on the half of the firepit that was already lit, and put most of the pot of water, and I put it on the firepit to cook slowly.Pushing away the wood ash from the other half of the firepit, I picked a few smaller sweet potatoes and buried them in it, and divided some of the fire from the burning firepit into this half of the firepit.

Thinking about it, I was still worried that I would be embarrassed if I didn't eat enough, so I took another pheasant to the grove behind the tent to deal with it.As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Luo Lei was earnestly dismantling the wooden stakes at the door, saw me come out, and then looked back at me.

I smiled at him, "I'll go to the back to deal with the pheasants."

He nodded and continued to demolish the stakes.

Remove the internal organs of the pheasant and bury it with soil. When I walked to the door, I saw that Luo Lei had already removed the wooden stakes. When he saw me, he pointed to the pile of wooden stakes. .”

I also nodded: "Okay, it's not time to eat in a while, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer today."

He didn't know what he was thinking of, so he said, "It's okay." Then he turned and went to the woods on the other side.

I didn't say too much. The food here is usually barbecue. You can eat and roast it at the same time. It doesn't take a lot of time. I plan to stew soup, and I plan to roast meat. It probably takes longer than others, so hurry up That's good.

He soaked the pheasant in boiling water in the only pottery pot at home. After going to the tent, he took off the feathers of the pheasant and buried them in the soil. There was still half a pot of water in the earthenware pot, and I filled it with more than half of the water, put a few pieces of chopped ginger and a handful of salt powder, increased the fire, and put the earthen pot to stew the chicken.Smelling the smell of roasted sweet potatoes from the fire pit on the other side, he turned several sweet potatoes over with a wooden stick.

The rabbit was impaled with wooden sticks, brushed with some honey, and then a layer of salt powder was scraped off, and some firewood was filled in the fire pits on both sides, and the rabbit was roasted on the fire where sweet potatoes were simmering. A clay pot with marinated meat was brought over.

I put the shelf made of some stone strips piled up behind the tents and made buttonholes on the firepit a few days ago, and brushed some oil on this side of the stone. The animal oil I boiled two days ago, and boiled honey After brushing a layer on the meat, he put the two pieces of meat on the fire and started roasting.

It takes a long time to roast a piece of meat. Even if it is cut open, it has to be turned over many times. I am afraid that people will have to wait while eating while roasting, so I baked four pieces first, which are already half-done. , you can eat it after a while as long as it is slightly warmed up.In the middle, I turned over the sweet potatoes simmering in the fire and the whole rabbit roasting on the fire from time to time, added water to the stewed chicken again, tasted the taste and added some salt.

Look at the pheasant that has been simmering over a strong fire that has been emitting an appetizing aroma, the hare is also roasted with oil, and the two pieces of meat that are roasting on the fire are already half-cooked, so turn off the fire in the fire pit Some, put the stewed sweet potatoes aside, stood up and went to the door to pat the ashes on my body, and I planned to ask Luo Lei to come in for dinner.

After walking around the tent, I found that Luo Lei had surrounded a small pigpen with wooden stakes, and was pulling grass for the little wild pig to eat. There was already a large pile of grass in front of the little wild pig, although the little wild pig seemed completely ungrateful. The ground was humming and humming, but it was still quiet in front of him—he probably had already finished the pigsty, but he was too embarrassed to come in and urge me to eat, so he simply pulled the weeds for the little wild boar.

Perhaps because of his thoughtfulness, I felt a little relieved, and couldn't help but smile, "Luo Lei, it's time to eat."
