Xiao Mo the Orc

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Hu San thought to himself that this method is not bad, but no one has ever tried it. Every winter, the snow is never stingy. Guaranteed to freeze, and the ice in some places in the river is so thick that even adult orcs jumping and jumping on it will not collapse.Just, how to save those ice.Hu San thought slowly in his heart, wrapped one hand around Xiao Mo's waist, forgot even the heat, and was so engrossed in thinking.

Although the room is stuffy and hot, the occasional wind that blows in is cool, so there is no problem falling asleep. Xiao Mo is lying in Hu San's arms, and the two of them are not covered with a quilt. It looks very cool.Xiao Mo slept soundly, while Hu San kept thinking about how to preserve ice cubes, like preserving some food, slowly thinking, the temperature must not be too high, where is the place with low temperature, cellar? , You can try it this winter, I don’t know if it will be successful, if it is successful, take a look at the sweat on Xiao Mo’s face after he fell asleep, then at least he can sleep peacefully.It will not wake up from the heat, and sometimes you can eat some iced food.

Thinking of this, Hu San became more determined about storing ice cubes, and he could discuss it with Hu Yi at that time, Hu Lan should be very interested in this as well.All afternoon, until Xiao Mo woke up, Hu San didn't fall asleep, he just thought about storing ice cubes.

The first thing Xiao Mo did after waking up was to wipe his body. His body was sticky and uncomfortable. After wiping his body, he sighed comfortably. Summer is as difficult as winter.It was too hot to stay in the house, so the two walked to the orchard to rest.

Sitting under the fruit tree, next to the river, there are fruits hanging on the tree, and the wind blows from time to time, it is cool and comfortable, forming a huge contrast with the stuffy heat in the house.Xiao Mo lay down and put his head on Hu San's lap. If he really slept here at noon, maybe he hasn't woken up yet. The temperature here is a suitable place to sleep.

There are still a lot of orcs around, and they all come to escape the summer heat. There is no shelter in the middle of the village. If it is just exposed to the sun for a day, even the powerful system of the orcs will be exposed to the sun.

Hu San picked a Gulu fruit and gave it to Xiao Mo, still thinking about storing ice cubes.It's already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner can be eaten after a while.The two sat by the river very leisurely, Xiao Mo took a bite of Gulu fruit from time to time, the sound of water flowing next to him, and sometimes he could see small fish in the river, coupled with the breeze, it was very pleasant.

"Mo Mo, Mo Mo, so you are here too." Hu Lan saw Xiao Mo and Hu San from a distance, ran over excitedly, then sat down next to Hu San, looking at Xiao Mo's face with comfort Lying next to Hu San, taking a bite of the Gulu fruit in his hand from time to time, it seems that he really enjoys it.

"Where are Hu Hu and the others?" Why did Hu Lan come out alone, and the rest of them usually come here to enjoy the shade, "Why didn't Uncle Midas come here?"

"The second uncle went hunting, the eldest brother went to find Maqi, the second brother stayed with Kade, and my father and father went to pick fruit. Maya has not come back since she went out at noon." Picking a Gulu fruit from the tree, Take a bite and it's full of moisture.

Huyi and Midas soon came out from looking for good fruits. There were several kinds of fruits in the basket, including Gulu fruit, juicy fruit, sweet fruit, etc. The basket was full.Walking to Hu San's side, the two also sat down.

When Hu San saw Hu Yi coming, he talked about how he had thought about storing ice cubes for so long. It was so hot in summer that running here every day was not an option, and the way here was also very drying.

Huyi listened to what Husan said, and his mind became active. Husan's idea is undoubtedly very tempting. Put an ice cube in the room when he sleeps at night, and the temperature in the room will also drop. Sleep quality will improve.However, as Hu San said, using the cellar to store ice cubes, I don’t know if this method will work, and you will only know if you try it.

Hu Lan was very excited when he heard that, he only said that this is no problem, it will be a success, he can already imagine how cool the house will be in summer tomorrow, and he can eat ice-cold fruit.

Hu Yi discussed some details with Hu San again, and talked to Hu Er when they were waiting for dinner, maybe they already have a way to preserve ice outside the forest, so that they would not have to fumble like this, and everyone together Ideas can also complete some missing details.

Dinner was still prepared by the six people at lunch together, but Ma Qi also came to help study in the middle, affected by the appalling image of meat at noon, he studied very seriously during the barbecue, and he usually looked like he was doing nothing. There was a strong contrast, but Hulan Huwei and the others were stunned. They really couldn't see that this kid had such a side.But Madge should study hard.

Hu Yi and the others are not interested in teaching Ma Qi to barbecue, but Midas is eager to try. He looks at Ma Qi now exactly the same way he looks at Hu Hu and Hu Wei, which makes Hu Hu very angry. Both Huwei and Huwei are jealous.

Ma Qi is not stupid. After being guided by Midas, he mastered the key points in a short time. In the end, he still looks good when he roasts meat, and his face is also full of complacency. He just hasn’t learned the same thing. , look now, as long as he works hard, the roasted meat will definitely taste better than Huhu's, let's see how he will laugh at him in the future.

When the dinner was brought to the living room, Madge looked smug, and went to Kade's side, took a piece of meat he roasted himself, and put it in Kade's bowl: "I roasted it myself, Absolutely delicious." With a smug look on his face, he looked at Card expectantly.With a gentle smile on his face, Card picked up the meat that Card gave him with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and took a bite: "It's not bad."

When Ma Qi heard this, the smug expression on his face became more obvious. Hu Hu took a look at Ma Qi's complacent look, and Kade was eating the roasted meat of Ma Qi. Then, he ate the barbecue on his own, ignoring Kade, but Kade didn't notice this, after all, Huhu never ignored him every time he ate barbecue before.Card ate the meat in the bowl, glanced at Hu Hu who was sitting on the other side of him, and put a piece of meat into his bowl.

Huhu felt a little better when he saw Kade give him the meat, and then silently ate the meat Kade gave him.

Seeing Kade's gentle face, March felt a little upset. He was no match for Huhu. Seeing how considerate he was, he gave Kade another piece of roasted meat after thinking about it.

At the last dinner, almost all the meat that Madge roasted was eaten by Kade, and no one else touched it at all. This made Madge a little sad, but he quickly regained his confidence. This is his second barbecue. , I believe it will be more delicious in the future.

After dinner, Hu San told Hu Yi and the others about the storage of ice cubes.Everyone expressed their opinions on this. Card has the most knowledge and his opinions are also the most valuable. He has visited many villages, and some villages also have this method of storing ice cubes, but it is not perfect, but compared to In terms of storage time, it is still relatively long, so Hu San and the others can give it a try.

Hu Er and the others listened very carefully. If ice cubes can be preserved, they can try it after they leave the forest. Every household saves some, so that everyone will not go to the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness in summer.

Several people chatted together for a long time. When Hu San and Xiao Mo went back, it was already dark. Before they reached the door, they saw a few orcs standing there. It was too dark to see who they were. , but thinking of how many people stayed with them these days, both of them thought of Ster at the same time.

Walking to the door of the house, seeing Ster and the others, Hu San hurriedly opened the door: "I'm really sorry, I have something to do tonight, and I came back a bit late, why don't you go in first." Because the doors in the village are all the ancient ones. , there is no lock, there is only a piece of wood inside that can be plugged in. Once when everyone went out, they seldom closed the door. They just closed the door there, and only closed it when they were sleeping.Usually, everyone is self-sufficient, and there is nothing valuable at home, and when they go out, people they know in the village will help take care of them.There are very few thieves and the like.

"It's okay, it's quite cool outside, I think it's a shade, and it's not convenient for me to go in when the owner is away." That's true, if something is missing at home, it's hard for them to explain, and summer nights are still relatively warm. It's cool, stand at the door to blow the wind, look at the stars, chat, and it's impossible to sleep so early if you stay inside, just treat it as a pastime.

Ster followed Hu San into the door, and the five people behind him all held some items in their hands, all kinds of things.It should be exchanged with the orcs in the upstream village, or bought.

When Xiao Mo got home, he hurried to take a shower. Hu San sat in the living room with Stu and chatted, and those who followed Stu went back to the guest room with their belongings. Afterwards, two of them stayed behind. No one came out from inside, and the remaining three went out to enjoy the cool air.

Stu asked Husan about some upstream things, some items that should be paid attention to, or more valuable, and more distinctive items. He came to these villages to shop for treasures. It is just in its infancy, and there are not many people, so it is not well-known.However, Ster's vision is quite good, and he has been to a lot of places, so reselling each other in this way, the starting capital is still very sufficient.

Hu San talked about some things that should be paid attention to, and some items that they like more in these villages, and they feel that they are more valuable. Because I have never been to the world outside the forest, I don’t know what kind of items these villages have. Features, in his mind, most of the items in the village are very common, but things that may be common in his eyes are relatively rare for the orcs outside the forest, so Hu San has no good suggestions .After talking about some things he often sees, I don't know if it will help Stu.After that, Hu San talked about storing ice cubes again.

This time it can be regarded as asking the right person. In the village where he lived before, some ice cubes are stored every winter. Although the stored ice cubes cannot be used throughout the summer, they still have a great impact on the hot weather. help.Ster carefully explained the method of storing ice in their village, and Hu San memorized everything carefully, planning to find a time to get the cellar ready first.

Xiao Mo came back from the shower and didn't go to the living room. To Stu, he was a completely unfamiliar orc, and Xiao Mo didn't even know how to greet a strange orc. Sitting next to Hu San was also boring, so he might as well lie down. On the bed.As soon as he walked into the room, Xiao Mo remembered the fox cub he caught yesterday. He forgot to feed him at noon and night, and he didn't know if there was enough for him to eat.Hurriedly took the cage back to the room, but luckily there were still some banyan fruits and some water left.

Xiao Mo filled the small bowl with the banyan fruit, and changed the water in the other small bowl. After that, he carefully took the fox out of the cage and put it into another prepared cage. He tidied up the cage and changed some of the hay inside, and then put the fox group back.During the whole process, the fox was very quiet, and ignored Xiao Mo's movements. After putting him back into the cleaned cage, the fox made noises, moved its nose, and came to the place where it was pretending to be. Next to the bowl of water, he licked his tongue once and for all. After drinking the water, he went to the bowl with the banyan fruit and began to gnaw on each banyan fruit with his claws.After a full meal, he lay back on the haystack and continued to rest on his stomach with his eyes closed.

Seeing Hutuan's unafraid look, Xiao Mo reached into the cage with a finger, stroked the big ear, and smoothed the hair on the small body. Make a comfortable voice, don't mention how happy you are.

After smoothing the fur of the fox group, he moved the chair and sat by the window. The room was still a little stuffy.

Sitting by the window and blowing the wind for a long time, I saw Hu San walking back wet.Holding a basin of water in his hand, he sprinkled some on the ground before walking to Xiao Mo's side.

"Mo Mo, let's try to store some ice cubes this winter, so that the house won't be so hot in summer." Hu San stood behind Xiao Mo, touched Xiao Mo's head with a big hand, and walked away Go to the side, pick him up, let Xiao Mo sit on his lap.

"Can it succeed?" Xiao Mo was a little worried. After all, this was the first time, and he had little experience, so the possibility of failure was very high.But if those winter ice cubes really survived, then he would also drink ice cream juice.Ice, Xiao Mo felt that he thought of something related to ice, it seemed that he liked to eat it when he was a child.what is it then.

"There shouldn't be any problem. I just asked Ster. That's what Ster's village does. According to his method, there is a high possibility that ice cubes will be preserved next summer." Hu San said in Xiaomo Kissed his face, and found that he was thinking, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I just thought of something. It seems to be something I liked to eat when I was a child. It has something to do with ice, but I can't remember it." Xiao Mo tapped his head. At the age of six, it is very good to be able to think of such a point.

"If you can't think of it, you don't have to think about it." Hu San felt a little distressed. He didn't know anything about Xiao Mo before he was six years old. At that time, he was the only underage female around the forest, and no other people were found, so he was abandoned. The possibility is still quite high, but I can't be sure if it is other reasons.Hu San tightened his grip on Xiao Mo's hand.

"En." But there are some things that you can't remember but desperately try to remember. You are only six years old, and it is reasonable to have a little impression, but he can't remember at all. The only feeling is that he lives There is a big difference between here and here.Also, it always feels that the father here is different from the father who gave birth to him, and there used to be something to do before going to bed at night to pass the time, unlike now that there is no entertainment, I hope that when I can dream in my dream, Let him think of something.

For the rest of the time, the two chatted about storing ice, went to bed and rubbed for a while, and then fell asleep sweetly.

In the next few days, Madge was still busy learning how to barbecue, currying favor with Card, and arguing with Huwei.Maya disappeared for a while from time to time, while Kade drank tea every day, listening to Maqi courting him, and then courting Huhu when Maqi was away, and when Huhu watched Maqi courting Kade, he would have a taste , and then when Kade fawned on him, he enjoyed it happily, and finally began to struggle with his feelings for Kade, while Huwei still quarreled with Maqi and played with Hulan.The past is very fulfilling.Hu Er continued to discuss with Hu Yi and Hu San about storing ice cubes.So for a few days, everyone was very busy.

Ta Lei came over several times in the past few days, but each time he left without Hu Hu and Hu Wei teaching him a lesson. Therefore, Ta Lei didn't dare to go to find Hu Hu when Hu Hu and Hu Wei were around. Lan, in the end it was Hu Lan who secretly ran to find Ta Lei when Hu Hu and Hu Wei were busy.In fact, all this can only be blamed on Ta Lei's coming at the wrong time every time.Every time he came to look for Hulan, it was either that Huhu was eating Kade's tenderness to Maggie, or Huwei was just finishing arguing with Maggie.Therefore, it can only be said that Ta Lei's luck is really bad.

When Hu Er and the others left, there were many more people than before. Ster, March and the others were also with Hu Er. A large team stood in the middle of the village and saw how huge it was. After everyone arrived, , the big team set off in mighty strength.There were not many orcs left in the village outside the forest this time, but there were not many who left the village. Molo was the only one.If the big team left the village this time, the one who allowed the orcs in the village to chat after dinner was Mo Luo's departure.

Mo Luo left with Maya. These days, Maya often disappeared for a while, and each time she went to Mo Luo.Mo Luo still has a good impression of Maya.Unlike the orcs who surrounded him before, who annoyed him every time and made him irritable, Maya just chatted with Molo every time, and then said things that Molo had never heard or seen, slowly It aroused his interest, and the novel foods that Maya talked about were actually all asked by Kade, and then when she talked to Molo, it was as if she had been there. From this point of view , Maya is still quite dark-bellied.

The day before Maya and the others were going to leave, he made a special trip to Moluo's father's house, hoping that they would agree to Moluo being his partner. But he agreed without hesitation, because compared with other orcs chasing Molo, Maya was obviously much better.

And Mo Luo had a good impression of Maya, and the group of orcs who always surrounded him caused a lot of trouble in his life, and his father and the others agreed, so he reluctantly accepted it. , In this way, he can also go to see the outside world with Maya, which he has been looking forward to for a long time.

For Maya to pursue Moluo so quickly, Maqi was very jealous. On the way to the forest, he kept asking Maya for experience so that he could pursue Kade as soon as possible.But these Xiao Mo and the others don't know anymore.Now they have begun to dig the cellar.

Hu Er and the others left very early, and it was cloudy today, without the sun. Although it was a bit hot, it was much cooler than when there was sun. Hu San discussed with Hu Yi one by one, and decided to take advantage of it Now dig a cellar first, according to what Ster said, but the amount of work is relatively large, and I didn't dig much after digging all morning.

Seeing Hu San and Hu Yi's busy appearance, other orcs in the village came over to ask them what they were doing. The two of them didn't hide anything about it, and they explained in detail about digging the cellar to store ice. The orcs staying in the village thought it was a good idea and started to help out. So Hu San and Hu Yi were just planning to dig a small cellar. The digging started to get bigger and bigger. Some little orcs and little females would come to help out at ordinary times, just digging the dirt. Everyone was very happy about this. Almost all children liked to play with dirt when they were young.

When autumn comes, only half of the cellar has been dug, and the remaining half has not been completed, but the temperature has begun to drop, and the daytime has also gradually shortened. Compared with the hot summer, it is still better to dig a cellar at this temperature quite appropriate.Therefore, the group of orcs in the village worked even more enthusiastically. The cellar was dug a month later, and the remaining workload was not too much. It just needed to clean up the dug cellar and put a layer inside the cellar to avoid Allow the ice to directly touch the dirt on the ground.In addition, it is necessary to do some heat insulation measures on the top of the cellar.Half a month later, the cellar was ready.

And winter will come in another month and a half, and the orcs in the village are busy storing food again. The orcs in the village go to the village to hunt every day, and the village is no longer as lively as when it was originally digging cellars. It is rare to see orcs left in the village.Some of Xiao Mo's females were busy picking chestnuts outside the forest, which would be their snack food for the next period of time. Therefore, for a month and a half, all the people in the village had a very fulfilling life.

In winter, the temperature gradually decreases, and then comes after the first snow falls.
