Pick up an orc

Chapter 3 Adopting Cubs

Lu Yuan looked at the burden in front of him, and couldn't help thinking, what is it that makes a woman would rather throw her life to protect it?

While he was in a daze, the sky suddenly darkened, like a large flock of densely packed birds covering the sky.But that's not a bird, it's a dragon, an overwhelming pterosaur.Lu Yuan never dreamed that there would be so many pterosaurs in this world. They flapped their huge wings and soared in the air, covering even the light of the sun.

Lu Yuan immediately became vigilant, he was now exposed on a rocky mountain with no concealment, it was a very dangerous thing.He said a short prayer over the woman's body, then picked up his pack and ran back to the cave where he had just hidden.

There was still a pool of blood in the cave where the woman lay, it was bright red and hadn't solidified yet.It made Lu Yuan very sad to see it, so he held some sand outside the cave to cover up the bloodstain.After adjusting his depressed mood, he was ready to unpack that burden.

The animal skin burden is very simple. It is sewn into a bag shape with thick thread, and the opening is tied with a long strip of leather.

Lu Yuan sat on the rock and opened it carefully, revealing several furry little things, some kind of small animals that looked like cats.He stretched out his hands to touch them, and found that some of them were cold and stiff, and had been dead for a long time.He took these cubs out one by one. They were very small, only the size of a palm, and their fur was very soft.These small animals look similar to newborn kittens, but there are subtle differences.Even if they are not cats, they are still cats, so let’s call them cats for now.

Poor little things, Lu Yuan couldn't help but think, are these kittens the women risk their lives to protect?

There were six of them, but the woman would never know, and five of them were dead.

There is only one light golden little guy still showing signs of life, and the little belly is breathing up and down.Lu Yuan immediately picked it up and let it lie on his lap. He gently stroked its head, hoping that it would survive.

The little thing's body temperature is very high, I don't know if it is born like this, or it is sick.But with the caress of Lu Yuan's fingers, it trembled slightly, its small tail swayed back and forth, and it made a very comfortable gurgling sound from its throat.

This should be a cub that was just born, it didn't even open its eyes, it was so weak, it looked like it would die at any moment.

When Lu Yuan's finger touches it, it will instinctively hold that finger, and wrap its tongue around it to suck like it holds its mother's nipple.

It must be hungry, which made Lu Yuan worry, where to find milk for it to drink now.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of extra thick toffee in his backpack.I quickly peeled a few toffee and put them in the water glass. Although I kept shaking the glass, the cold water could not melt the candy quickly.

He thought for a while, then simply put the candy in his mouth.The rich milky aroma spread immediately, and the sweet taste invaded the taste buds.

Lu Yuan gently picked up the cub, supported its small head, put his mouth on it, and fed the little thing the melted "milk" little by little.While all felines are genetically mutated to be unable to distinguish sweetness, this kitten-like cub can apparently taste the milky sweetness and love it.

The cub obviously likes this taste very much, it pouted its mouth, and actively licked back and forth on Lu Yuan's lips with its tongue, constantly sucking the milky saliva.Since Lu Yuan has kept kittens and puppies as pets since he was a child, he doesn't dislike this kiss-like behavior.

The little guy ate vigorously, kicked his limbs happily, and flicked his tail.

After eating a few toffees, he was completely refreshed, and it writhed in Lu Yuan's hand.Lu Yuan simply put it on the ground, it immediately got up staggeringly, and fell to the ground after walking a few steps.The eyes of the cub have not yet opened, and the way it shakes its head is really cute.It crawled to Lu Yuan's feet by feeling, and lightly licked his trousers with its head, while making a small cry.

Lu Yuan carefully picked up this weak life, looked at it lovingly, his heart was strongly moved.

He decided to adopt this poor little one, and would not abandon it no matter what dangers happened: "Such a small soft ball, no bigger than my palm, I will call you Tuan Tuan from now on!" A sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

As if he could understand human language, Tuantuan gave a soft grunt, licking his fingers with his pink tongue.

He originally wanted to go down the mountain before sunset today, looking for water sources and shelter in the forest, but this sudden incident obviously delayed the time.Unknowingly, it was close to sunset, and the sun was covered by rolling black clouds before it could go down.

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Lu Yuan frowned, it seemed to be another heavy rain.Maybe he can venture down the mountain by himself, but it is too risky to take Tuantuan with him.It's still so small, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive if I get sick in the rain, and the mountain road is slippery when it rains, so it's not suitable to hurry.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to spend the night in this cave today and set off tomorrow after recharging his energy.

I tidied it up briefly, spread the animal skin bundle on the ground, and took out my own towel to make a thick layer, temporarily using it as a small nest.Tuantuan was very satisfied with this new home, rolled over a few times, and found the most comfortable position to sleep soundly.

Sleeping after eating is indeed a baby's habit, Lu Yuan decided to explore the surroundings during the time when Tuantuan was sleeping.Fearing that the little guy would wake up and run around after he left, he untied the slender leather strap that tied the bundle, tied one end around Tuantuan's waist, and tied the other end to a stone, making a knot.It must have been uncomfortable to tie the rope around his waist, but the sleepy Tuantuan didn't react too much, wagging his tail and sleeping soundly.

As for the five dead animals, Lu Yuan wrapped them in wide leaves and buried them.

He went to the edge of the previous forest belt and picked up a lot of dead branches, but due to the rain, these branches were very damp and difficult to ignite.But something is better than nothing, Lu Yuan still picked up a lot for emergencies.

He also picked a lot of leaves from those large ferns. The leaves of this plant are very large and jagged, more than one meter long and half a meter wide.The leaves are very soft, without thorns or itchy hairs, and Lu Yuan is going to use them to make a bed.

He ran several times back and forth between the edge of the forest belt and the cave, and accidentally found some small shrubs bearing red berries the size of broad beans.The small fruit is very attractive, red and black, looks rich in water, falls heavily on the branches, and exudes a fresh fruit fragrance.

Lu Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. After coming to this different world, he hasn't eaten or drunk yet. After working hard for half a day, he is thirsty and hungry now.But he didn't dare to try these fruits rashly. This was a species he had never seen before, and it might be poisonous.

He looked around and saw that many overripe berries fell to the ground, and there were unnamed insects biting.

Insects can eat, people can eat!

Thinking of this, he picked a large and plump fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and the sweet and sour juice burst out in the cavity immediately.The thirsty throat was moistened like this, making Lu Yuan forget about his fatigue.After tasting the taste, he began to stuff the fruits into his mouth one by one, savoring the deliciousness of nature.

The berry is somewhat like a strawberry in shape, but with a smooth, round skin.It has more moisture and tastes better, which is many times more delicious than those high-tech strawberries grown in greenhouses.

After eating half full, Lu Yuan picked a lot more, wrapped them in leaves, and named them - wild berries.

He wanted to explore his surroundings again, but the clouds in the sky were getting darker and the wind was blowing violently.Lu Yuan was blinded by the strong wind, so he took wild berries and quickly returned to the cave.As soon as he put down the thing in his hand, Tuantuan wailed pitifully at him.

The little guy woke up at some point, and the belt tied to his stomach made him very uncomfortable.Even though it was a newborn cub, its teeth were already quite strong, and the belt had been bitten to the point where there were only a few threads left, and it was about to break.

It ran towards Lu Yuan, but the belt restricted its freedom, so it could only make pitiful calls continuously.

Lu Yuan quickly hugged Tuantuan, stroking its fur to comfort it: "Little naughty, why didn't I realize that your teeth are so strong when I was feeding you earlier, you must know that you can't bite me, right?"

Lu Yuan's return obviously made Tuantuan very happy, it barked and acted like a baby on his palm.The pink tongue licked Lu Yuan's finger, it was very itchy.

"Tuantuan, I only have you now, and we will depend on each other in the future." Lu Yuan poked Tuantuan's wet nose with his fingers, and then rubbed the soft fur on its stomach: "You must live strong and never leave me alone. people!"

As if the little guy could understand human language, he whimpered and responded to him, which made Lu Yuan feel very comforted.

Lu Yuan, who suffers from communicative phobia, cannot have a normal conversation with humans, but he can confess his feelings to this little animal.He embraced Tuantuan, silently thanking God for not abandoning him alone in this wild world.

After a while, there was a strong wind outside and heavy rain poured down.

He took out his mobile phone to check, but there was still no signal, and the displayed time was 6:12 pm.It was already dark in the cave, so Lu Yuan hurriedly put down Tuantuan and got busy, trying to find a way to light a bonfire before night fell.

The cave is not deep, but its shape is "L" with a corner at the bottom.The space inside is about two square meters in size, and the ground is fairly flat, allowing people to sleep and shelter from the wind.Lu Yuan made a simple bed out of those fern leaves, lay on it and tried it out, it was very soft and tactile.

When he was busy, Tuantuan always followed him staggeringly, almost stepped on it several times, and then Lu Yuan moved Tuantuan's nest inside.

"Don't be naughty, what if I step on you. Wait for me obediently, don't run around." Lu Yuan carried Tuantuan into the nest, poked its small forehead and ordered.Tuantuan groaned, lowered his head like a child who has done something wrong, and buried his head in a soft towel.

Seeing its aggrieved appearance, Lu Yuan was heartbroken and funny, how can he lose his temper like a human?He had only been together for a few hours, but Tuantuan seemed to have lived in his heart for a long time.

He kissed the little guy's head and comforted it: "It will be fine soon, be good."

After settling down, Lu Yuan began to think about how to light a fire.The picked branches are a little wet, probably not.But the goddess of luck never seemed to abandon him. Soon, Lu Yuan found a lot of dry branches and fallen leaves in the cave.It should have been blown in by the wind before it rained, and there were quite a few of them.

He chose a few thicker, rain-soaked lumber and laid them on the bottom, with a thick layer of dead leaves, and cut the dry branches into thin strips with a knife and put them on top.But Lu Yuan was still worried that the fire would not be able to ignite, so he found useless bills from the bag, tore them into small strips and wrapped them around the branches, and crumpled the two tickets as fuel.

At this moment, Lu Yuan is very grateful to his father for giving him this lighter, although he does not smoke.He took out the windproof lighter, lit the ball of paper first, and stuffed it into the pile of dead branches erected.

He had been worried that he would not be able to light the bonfire before, but the dry leaves quickly followed suit, the flames rushed up, and the branches were also ignited.

It was completely dark outside, and it was raining incessantly, and the whole world was being washed in this downpour.When the darkness came, Lu Yuan was terrified, but the flame brought him light again.The blazing flames illuminated him and the stone wall, and the shadows of the trees outside the cave swayed, making Lu Yuan want to cry.

Tuantuan nestled obediently at his feet, soft and warm.Lu Yuan sniffed a few times, remembering that he came to this foreign continent for no reason and left his relatives, his heart felt sore.

The cub's eyes were still closed, but he could accurately locate Lu Yuan.It gently touched Lu Yuan with its head, and made a gentle cry as if to comfort him.
