Traversing the Age of Creation in the Orc World

Male orcs, except Xiahe.Everyone brought a big bag of steamed stuffed buns, five or six big cloth bags, a thick bamboo tube with two knots to hold water, and a big knife, and set off in a mighty way.

As Meng said, they stopped and rested at night, and they had to walk all day the next day. In the evening of the second day, they arrived at the cotton growing field.Before he had time to appreciate the cotton tree he saw for the first time, Xia He hurriedly started to help prepare the dinner, because they had to cook dinner at the border of the cotton tree to light the fire.

At night, several orcs take turns to watch the night, but of course Chi doesn't need to take turns.And Xiahe fell asleep almost immediately after dinner. There was no river water nearby, so he didn't need to take a bath, so he had to go out to wash during the day.Perhaps after a day's journey, Xiahe was sleepy every night. He wondered when his physique became so poor. As usual, after a day's journey, he would be able to jump around again after a short rest.After thinking about it, he leaned against Chi and fell asleep.

After hearing Xia He's continuous snorting after falling asleep, Chi gently touched Xia He's face with pity, and then to his slightly swollen belly... Chi closed his extremely painful and helpless eyes, and took a deep breath , and then swallowed it for a long time, and finally hugged Xia He and fell asleep.

The next day, Xia He woke up amidst the sounds of birds and insects, and found that the big cloth bag they had brought was under him, and Chi was no longer there.Reflexively, I squinted my eyes and looked at the sun hanging in the sky when I opened my eyes when it was already bright. It was probably around nine o'clock in the morning.Recently, my hungry stomach has also started to protest.Looking at the cotton trees sideways, they are indeed not short, but they are not very tall either. They are at most two meters high, and some are only one meter high.The cotton tree more than one meter high is like the one introduced in the book. It has no leaves, and the sparse ones are all like dry branches. The cotton grows in the cotton bolls on the branches, and the white and fat cotton bursts out. Outside the bolls, it looks so cute!

Standing up and looking into the distance, the view is endless. Except for the withered yellow branches at the bottom, the upper layer is a piece of whiteness. It seems that there is enough cotton for the winter.At this time Chi came over, put down the cotton that he had picked in the morning, and took out half a steamed bun and a piece of barbecue meat from the cloth bag with the big steamed stuffed bun on the ground, and gave it to Xia He.

"Well, Chi, did you go to pick cotton just now?" Xia He really couldn't imagine that these two-meter-tall orcs were standing next to the cotton tree picking flowers one by one, "Pff~haha" Xia He couldn't help himself Don't stop laughing, who told him that in the book, his impression is that groups of women are picking.

Chi smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to pat Xia He's back, "It's not good for your health to laugh like this while eating. Come, drink water."

Xia He finally stopped laughing, took a sip of water from the bamboo tube, gnawed off the remaining big buns, and drank water again. "I'm full, put away this barbecue, I won't eat it."

"He, how can you be full after just a few mouthfuls of barbecue, be good, finish it quickly, or eat half of it." Chi coaxed him.

"Damn, don't treat me like a child, I really can't eat it anymore, no matter how I look at it now, I think it's so greasy. If you force me to eat it, I'm going to throw up." Xia He really doesn't want to eat it now Meat is different from the usual idea of ​​not wanting to eat meat. Usually it is because I eat it every day, and I will definitely get tired if I eat too much, but now, I feel uncomfortable when I smell the oil. "Don't worry, Chi, I won't let myself go hungry. This kind of disadvantageous thing is not what I, Xia He, would do."

Chi sighed again, "Okay, then remember to eat when you are hungry." He said and put away the barbecue.

"I know, Chi, you are like an old lady. Quickly, take me to pick cotton with Meng and the others." Xia He also picked up a cloth bag and walked with Chi. He knew that Meng and the others were afraid of disturbing himself who was sleeping just now. Go farther and pick.

Sure enough, more than thirty burly men jumped into the sea of ​​cotton, grabbed the cotton bolls and some twigs with both hands, and put them directly into the cloth bag without picking them.Xia He saw black lines all over his face. Is this how the cotton is picked?Although he has never picked it, but when he thinks about it, when he finally wants to make cotton into clothes, he still has to pick out the extra things other than cotton. This kind of rework is very tiresome. Not a lot of cotton, but a lot of cotton that the whole tribe needs.If you can do a little better now, you won't need to do anything extra when you go back, right?

Xia He first walked to the nearest tree and stretched out his hand to pull the cotton. Sure enough, the cotton and the cotton bolls were separated.Then look at the white cotton with no bolls in your hand, and you can find that some of the cotton actually has yellow lint.This is not important, the important thing is that after picking it up, you don't have to pick up extra objects so trivially, although the action will become much slower.

Tell them how you do it, and let them pick it like you do, or the females in the clan will be in trouble when you go back.The orcs thought about it too. If the females were not free, they would have to do it. It would be a headache for them to pick out these tiny brocade bells one by one.Afterwards, the orcs' movements of picking cotton were much more refined. They no longer swiped their hands with careless hands like before, and there were more twigs and cotton bolls in their hands.

It is impossible for them to pick such a large piece of cotton, and they don't need so much, but they have to pick what they want before it rains.Therefore, apart from eating and drinking, the rest of their time is spent picking cotton.At first Xia He thought that picking cotton was like playing, but now it seems... what a fart!Xia He put the cotton in his nearly stiff hands behind the cloth bag, then shook his arms angrily, then crossed his fingers and turned his palms together.This is simply a tossing job. Xiahe would rather go to smelt ore and beat it into iron tools than stand here picking flowers one by one. A cotton flower must be checked to ensure that cotton bolls cannot be picked.

Those orcs were more durable than Xiahe, but they were still the same after a few days. They never imagined that just standing on the ground and moving their hands could make their hands and shoulders so tired.After a long time, I couldn't stand it anymore. Every day, two orcs went hunting, and now it became the best job. Before going hunting, they had to compete for a while, and the two who won could go.Xia He also felt the same about this, and he really wanted to find a chance to get out of this cotton colony, oh, oh, Xia He yelled in his heart, bear with it, just get used to it, maybe every year in the future Pick it, now you have to get used to it.He raised his numb hand and continued to pick it, but Chi grabbed it unexpectedly.

"He, sit down first, and I'll rub it for you." Chi pulled Xia He to sit on the cotton bag on the ground, and rubbed it lightly.

"Your hands are also very tired, don't rub them for me, I will do it myself."

"Don't move!" Chi yelled in a low voice, as if suppressing some emotion.

Sure enough, Xia He obediently didn't dare to move anymore. Repression is the most terrifying thing. If you are not careful, you will become a cannon fodder. "What's wrong, Chi?"

After a while, Chi also didn't make a sound, but hugged Xia He quickly.Xia He heard Chi's suppressed emotions with great efforts but had nowhere to vent, he exhaled and inhaled greatly with his heart and the breath he exhaled. "If you want to cry, Chi, you can cry. There are no other orcs here, and I won't laugh at you. If your hands are tired, I'll rub them for you!"

"...No, not at all. Every time I see He is working so hard, I always blame myself... He, you know, at this moment, I really hope that I am like Meng, and have enough ability to support my females, Let you be like Ye, as long as you stay at home, you don't have to do any hard work. I..."

"Hey!" Xia He quickly covered Chi with his palm and wanted to give up on himself. "Hehe, if you are like Meng, I won't like you. Chi, I have told you that whether it is family or love, two people need to give together. If only you give and I don't do anything, I will I will definitely not be with you. So, do you understand, fortunately Chi is just Chi, not someone else, otherwise we would have to say goodbye."

"Pfft~" Chi let go of his heart and smiled, kissed Xia He on the cheek, and said, "He's way of comforting people is really special, but I'm cured haha. He is sitting here, the sun is going down, and here I am Come pick it up."

Xia He also nodded.Who said men don't need comfort?Men need comfort more than women, because men shoulder far more responsibilities than women, and you can comfort and encourage him even more on this point!A woman's heart is made of flesh, and a man's heart is also made of flesh!Women can feel sorry for themselves, but men can't give up on themselves?

It has been eleven days, and the big cloth bags each of them brought have already been filled. Four orcs have come back several times to bring back the picked cotton. It is estimated that the cotton picked in another six or seven days will be enough for the entire tribe.Sometimes habit is a terrible thing. The first few days were life-or-death. Compared with now, the only thing I got used to is that my hands and shoulders can be stretched normally. The practice is extremely sharp, and it is perfect at a glance!After getting used to it, the speed is naturally faster than before.

This day is the rest day for all members to pass, the autumn wind is cool, the blue sky looks quieter than before, Xia He and Chi also took this rare opportunity to be alone, so the two left the orcs in a nearby place Go on a tryst.Who told the orcs to have good ears, and besides, they didn't go very far, Xia He thought with luck.

Choose to sit in a row under the shade of a larger cotton tree.
