Orcs through the age

Chapter 5 Future Companion

The sun has set, and fires are lit up everywhere in the tribe. Many people are eating or have finished their meals. The patrol team on duty is patrolling around the whole tribe. When they see Luo Lei and me, someone from the patrol team will follow. Raleigh said hello.Because they usually hunt together, the aura around Luo Lei is extraordinarily friendly. If he treats the females as peacefully as he treats these males, it is estimated that the females will not be so afraid of him.

When Luo Lei just sat down by the firepit, the patriarch's female also came over. He heard that Luo Lei was still here, so he came over and asked him to eat. It happened that mine was also ready, and two pheasants were also stewed for a while. The big pot, so I simply asked him to stay and eat together. The female's food intake is much smaller than that of the male, so it should be enough.

The patriarch's female was a little embarrassed, but looking at Luo Lei and then at me, he agreed and said to come back and talk to the patriarch.

I took from the corner two smaller wooden bowls that I had chiseled during my stay at home, and a large wooden sea bowl that was intended to be used for serving vegetables. I also took a large wooden spoon that I made myself, and started using Divide pheasant soup with a wooden spoon.

When the chief female came again, I had prepared three bowls of pheasant and pheasant soup, and put a small wooden spoon in each bowl.The fragrant and delicious pheasant soup aroused the patriarch's female interest. Most of the meat in the clan is skewered with wooden sticks. After all, there are not many families with clay pots.

The tribe doesn’t know how to make clay pots. The only clay pots and pots in this family were bought by Anuo’s father with six bone knives and two stone axes in exchange for the tribe on the upper river. Pa was good at making bone knives and stone tools.And some people have tried cooking meat before, and they always feel that the taste is not very good.

I don’t know what kind of meat the previous people cooked, but I tasted it, and the pheasant meat in clear soup tastes good, and because it has been cooked for a long time, the meat is relatively rotten. After adding ginger, the game meat is fishy The taste is also removed a lot, although the seasoning is only salt, the taste of the soup is still delicious.

Luo Lei was probably really hungry, and quickly ate a large bowl of pheasant meat and soup. I just ate a piece of pheasant meat, and seeing that he had finished eating, I hurriedly put the two pieces of meat roasting on a low fire Using two long wooden chopsticks that had been sharpened, he put them into his bowl, and put two pieces of half-cooked roast meat that had been somewhat cold on the stone shelf to continue roasting.

Luo Lei just glanced at me, and before starting, the patriarch female who was sitting imitating me to scoop pheasant soup with a wooden spoon laughed out loud.

When he smiled, I felt a little embarrassed, and quickly shrank back, feeling that Luo Lei's coercion suddenly increased a little.

But he didn't seem to mind at all, and showed me the bowl of soup that he had finished drinking: "Arnuo, I've finished my soup too."

I raised my head and said "ah", and before I could move, I saw Luo Lei leaned over and put two pieces of meat in his bowl into the patriarch female's bowl with the chopsticks I put on the stone shelf, and sat down again. Go back and start turning the meat that is roasting on the fire with the pair of long wooden chopsticks.

The patriarch's female eyes were slightly bent, she looked at us happily, she lowered her head and started eating barbecue again, muttering while eating, a male who can completely beastize can eat thirty to forty catties of meat if he transforms into a meal , Even if you maintain the human form, you have to eat about ten catties of meat for a meal, or you will feel very hungry after turning into a beast.Just like the patriarch, when he was young, he had to eat ten catties of meat every meal to feel that he had eaten, and he would not feel full unless he ate about fifteen catties of meat.Even a partially animalized male would have to eat at least seven or eight catties of meat for a meal.

He also muttered that Luo Lei was even more pitiful. He used to only have enough to eat at home, but now that he was living on his own, and he had to consider his clansmen, he still could only eat six to seven percent. Female, it seems that he can only live half-fed and half-starved for the rest of his life.It’s better to be a female, and two or three catties of meat can be enough for a meal, but unfortunately he didn’t give birth to a single female, and all the ones born were two big eaters, plus the patriarch of the family, it was really difficult to raise.

I was a little terrified when I heard it. It is difficult to raise a female who can eat two or three catties of meat at a meal.But I feel that it is a wise decision to eat so much today.On the contrary, Luo Lei glared at him again, but he didn't care, shrugged and continued to eat.

Maybe it's because honey is added to this barbecue, the female of the patriarch seems to like it quite a bit, and I ate another piece when it was hot on the second trip. I also finished a bowl of soup and ate a piece of barbecue at the moment, Roy He just ate the roasted rabbit, and he also ate the two pieces of meat that were reheated on the third trip, and everyone also ate a stewed sweet potato.

There was still half a pot of pheasant meat in the clay pot. I wanted to ask Loredo to eat some. He didn’t know whether he was embarrassed or he was really full, but he didn’t eat it in the end, but the patriarch female said that this was his first time After eating such delicious stewed chicken, I asked if I could take some back for the patriarch to try.I was a little embarrassed by what he said, but I didn't know how to fill it because I didn't have any other bowls at home.

The patriarch female originally wanted to use the bowl that Luo Lei used, but he said that this bowl was also novel, so he happened to show it to the patriarch.But Luo Lei gave him a blank look, and he gave up taking Luo Lei's bowl, so he had to use the bowl he used to put a bowl back.

I also thought it would be okay for him to pack more. Anyway, I don’t know if I can eat the rest overnight, so I simply told him to ask him to take the clay pot back first, and then give it to me after the patriarch finished eating. Just send it over, listen to me, the patriarch's female is naturally happier, but he still brought back the bowl he used, saying that he wanted to show the patriarch.Anyway, I chiseled it myself, and I still have two at home, so I told him that I gave him this bowl, and by the way, I put two stewed sweet potatoes in the bowl. Go back and "show off" with the patriarch.

Of the three catties of meat I got, and about four catties of meat that Luo Lei put in it, I ate about six catties.Luo Lei ate about four catties of barbecue meat, [-] catties of pheasant meat, a roast rabbit weighing five or six catties after removing the fur and internal organs, and two stewed sweet potatoes , Although both pheasants and hares have more bones, I think he is probably full, and his stomach can't support it all at once.

There was more than a catty of marinated meat left in the clay pot, so I hung it on the firepit.Luo Lei didn't leave after eating, but just put the bowl he used beside him, and helped add some firewood to the firepit. At night, the fire in the firepit is usually not extinguished before going to bed, and it is added before going to bed. I bought some firewood, and waited for the fire to go out naturally after I fell asleep.

I saw that he was adding firewood to the firepit, so I went to collect the bowl he used to wash it, but before I got the bowl, he picked it up, and quickly took out a bone knife to carve on it. He made a strange symbol, which was consistent with the symbol on his arm - it should be his symbol.

The males here have their own unique symbols, and from the time they reach adulthood, they will wear this symbol on their arms to advertise to others.They also often engrave their own symbols on the door of their tents or on their own private things to show ownership.This symbol will also be painted on the arm of their partner after the kiss.

I laughed dumbfounded, shook my head, and turned to collect my own bowl: "Here you are."

But he put the bowl in my hand again, "I only know how to barbecue. The food you cook is delicious."

I wonder if he means that the food I make is more delicious, and he plans to eat it with me in the future, and this bowl is his special bowl, and when he asked with his eyes, he saw his extremely sure eyes, and turned around gracefully— —The prey he got was still in the corner, and he didn't even give a glance to it.

When the patriarch female sent the clay pot back, her eyes were a little ambiguous, but I didn't have time to pay attention to him. I was resigned to my fate to deal with the pile of meat left by Luo Lei. When I chased it out just now, Luo Lei had quickly disappeared into the night. , I went to look for him outside his tent, but the patrol team told me that Luo Lei had already helped to patrol, he would do this every day, and he would come back later, as for how late, they didn't know.

Although I don't want to deal with this huge pile of meat, I can't let it spoil, so I had to wash the meat without complaint, scrape off the salt powder, apply salt cream, and put the meat piece by piece into the stone basin— ——I think my kindness is simply pathetic.

I also got up very early the next day, and hardly slept well, because the hunters would go out to hunt early in the morning. I didn't know when they would start, and I was afraid that they would not be able to catch up, so I couldn't let Luo Lei go hunting without breakfast.

I feel that I am simply a carefree life. I used to worry that others would not do things well, and now I am worried that Luo Lei will be hungry and hunt. I don’t know where I come from so much sense of responsibility.But I still admit my fate and wake up early to barbecue.

In fact, I don’t agree with eating so greasy early in the morning, but there is nothing else to eat, so I had no choice but to do it like this. I managed to light a fire and roasted the more than a catty of meat left over from yesterday, and put it in a small bowl first. inside.I cut nearly half of the meat from Roy's prey and roasted it together. I hurriedly put the roasted meat in the big bowl, and made it out of the moso bamboo I cut when I was looking for materials to make a crossbow. I put some boiled water in my bamboo tube last night before going to bed, wrapped the bamboo leaves with faded deerskin and plugged the water outlet, and wrapped a few stewed sweet potatoes with the leaves, and hurriedly sent them to Luo Lei I went to the tent——when I looked at the big wooden bowl in my hand, I almost burst into tears——I don’t know why I have to be so obedient...

When I was standing at the door of Luo Lei's tent with the bowl in hand, I realized that Luo Lei had come from not far away, probably coming back from washing his face in the creek next to the tribe, with Luo Lie and a few patrol members beside him.

Perhaps seeing me standing at the door, Luo Lei's footsteps were obviously faster than others, leaving others behind.When he came to me, I even felt a smile in his eyes. I thought I must have been sleepless and dazzled.

Putting the big wooden bowl and stewed sweet potatoes in his hands, and stuffing him with the bamboo tube hanging from my waist, I turned around and wanted to leave, but unfortunately other people just came over too, so I just smiled shyly as a greeting.

I don't know why, Luo Lei seemed a little unhappy, and pulled me back, well, I don't want to stay longer, I still have things to do, and only a few patrolmen left behind shouted He made jokes about Luo Lei, disliked him for being jealous, possessive and so on, and he couldn't even let people see him more.

I feel a bit cold on my back, probably because the animal skin is not warm enough.

Roy came over to my tent again before he set off, put the bowl back, filled the jug with water, and threw me a piece of propolis.

Let me see, I am very happy. Last time, in order to collect the little honey in the grove, I smoked it for a long time, which made the patriarch female think I was going to set it on fire. When he heard that I wanted the honeycomb, he persuaded me again. It took me a long time to wait for the males to come back, and then he would find someone to get me.Fortunately, I still got the beehive later, but I was also read by the female leader of the patriarch, but I didn't think much about it when I was busy looking for wood in the past few days. After thinking about it, it was really dangerous. I never thought about it. I have never been stung by a bee. It is not a simple matter if I am stung. After all, there is no advanced medical condition here to detoxify, and I may die.Now he has brought a big piece of it, which is so much to my liking!

So I cheerfully sent him out, and waved to him at the entrance of the tent, letting passers-by see the joke again.But I also know that the people here have no bad intentions, so I just laughed it off.

The patriarch originally didn't allow me to go out today, but I made sure that he would only hang around nearby, and said that if he didn't agree, I would run out.So he could only agree, and repeatedly asked me to come back before noon. I naturally agreed. Before I came out, I had already asked the high priest about the potato. The high priest is the person who knows the most about plants in the clan. That is, the one who gnawed on ginger as a fruit.He said that he actually thinks this is edible, but a few years ago a female in the clan was seriously poisoned after eating it. If she hadn't made herself vomit later, she would have almost died, so no one dared to eat it.I asked how the female ate, and the answer I got was that of course she ate it, could it be possible to swallow it?

Well, do these people think that anything with a lot of water is a fruit?Has no one put it in the fire to roast it?Generally speaking, however, mind-sets are more difficult to change.What's more, these primitive people who live in fear can only taste anything. Once they find that it is not good, it is more cost-effective to eat safer food.

I saw that the two little wild boars were still very active this morning, but they were a little hungry, but they didn't eat the pile of grass that Luo Lei pulled yesterday, so I happily found a branch to sweep away the grass, wild animals , I was going to be hungry, and when I was full, I was obedient, so I planned to dig some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and I was going to come back and try to see if I could make sweet potato flour and potato flour.

This time I didn't do much else, and went straight to the sweet potato fields and potato fields.I only dug three traps yesterday, and I found four rabbits in the pit this morning, and two of them were quite fat.

I tied up the four rabbits with animal skin ropes, cut a wooden stick and hung them upside down on the tree. Then I started digging the sweet potatoes. In order not to move them back, I didn’t dare to dig too much today. I still dug about ten catties that is.While carrying sweet potatoes on my back, I used wooden sticks to make a pole and carried the rabbit hanging upside down. When I walked back happily, I was lucky enough to see a group of deer—deer are not considered dangerous animals, because they They will never take the initiative to attack you, especially in summer, when they are full and resting.At this time, I naturally took the shot, because the prey was relatively large, so I used an arrow with anesthesia, and this arrow hit a stag's leg, and it stumbled and fell down after a short while.The other deer may have been frightened, and immediately scattered.

This deer is not unconscious, but its legs are relatively soft. Perhaps this drug is not as effective for animals as it is for humans, and of course it may be a matter of dosage.I tied the deer's neck with a piece of animal skin rope, then drew the arrow, tied the wound with the animal skin rope, and fed it some salt powder from the bag I carried with me, then half dragged and half dragged it go back.

When I was digging potatoes, I tied the deer to a tree not far away. After an hour or two, its anesthesia symptoms improved obviously, and it already had some energy, but it still couldn't break free from the rope.

I carried the dug potatoes and sweet potatoes on my back, and the rabbit was hung on the deer's back instead. I carried a few bunches of fresh grass with a stick, and I lured the deer back to the tribe while pulling it.
