Pick up an orc

After tossing and tossing all night, Lu Yuan slept until the sun was three poles before getting up, Rou Tuanzi lay obediently on the side, curling his fingers with his nose.

There were only him and Tuanzi in the cave, and the energetic Tuan Tuan had already gone hunting with Li.The midday heat in the dry season makes it almost impossible to go outside in the afternoon.It is said that hunting at night is easier to succeed, but Li is not a nocturnal creature. Although Tuantuan has strong night vision ability, he is inexperienced, so their hunting activities are from dawn to noon.

The battery of his mobile phone has long been dead, but he has already trained the ability to calculate the time by looking at the sun, and his life in a foreign land is becoming more and more handy.

Lu Yuan freshened up under the waterfall where the water flow was greatly reduced. The water curtain that could have completely covered the entrance of the cave was now only a trickle.As the drought intensifies, sooner or later the flow will stop here.At first, he was worried that he would not be able to survive due to lack of water, but he said with certainty that since Mr. Feilong settled here, this area must be the easiest place to survive.Sure enough, in another cave not far from here, there was an underground underground river gushing out water, which seemed to be continuous all year round, enough for them to survive the dry season.

The water level of the pool under the waterfall has also dropped a lot, and the snakeheaded fish all lie still at the bottom to reduce oxygen consumption.Unless it is a last resort, they are not going to eat these plump black fishes, and treat them as food reserves just like the lambs they caught.

He wiped the water from his face and looked at the hot sun above his head. It was about 11 o'clock in the afternoon.As usual, the two carnivores who had gone hunting were about to return, so they hurried to prepare lunch.

Although cooking is not difficult, the tastes of this family are different, and every meal has to be different.Li is an omnivorous animal who is not very picky and eats everything, but he will lose his temper if he has no meat; Tuanzi likes to eat tender grass and leaves, but milk is essential; Less sweet and sour after-dinner snacks.

Everyone has different tastes, so cooking is not that simple.

Lu Yuan first washed the hot sweet potato with clean water, peeled off the outer skin and cut it into small pieces for later use. Feilong didn't leave much japonica rice, so it was mixed with hot sweet potato and cooked into porridge for eating.

Of course, for the two main laborers, eating porridge is not enough.There must be no shortage of meat-stuffed noodle pies, and the returned prey will also be burned into delicacies.A few days ago, I managed to get a moose back. The large amount of meat couldn't be eaten in a short time, and it was all salted. Lu Yuan cut a large piece of semi-fresh venison that hadn't completely turned into cured meat and prepared it for barbecue. .

He cut the venison into small pieces, threaded them on bamboo sticks, and grilled them over the fire while waiting for the patties in the pot.The porridge is also simmering on a low fire. The sweet aroma of the fire sweet potato and the taste of the barbecue are mixed together, which makes the index finger move.

After a while, Tuantuan and Li came back, the little thing had a live animal in its mouth, and Li came back with a lot of melons: "It smells so good, I'm starving to death, get me a bowl." The little thing threw the prey in his mouth to the ground, and ran to Lu Yuan to eat it.

"Go and wash, your mouth is full of blood!" Lu Yuan sent Little Things to wash his face, Wang Li took a lot of things, and hurried over to help him unload the bamboo basket.

After entering the dry season, fresh fruits dropped sharply. He wanted to eat melons and fruits these days, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it, for fear of bothering others.Now the melons Li brought back made him very happy, and he immediately cut up and shared them.The melon is not big, the skin is blue-gray with some white stripes, and the inside of the melon is white, which looks very inconspicuous, but it does not affect its delicious taste.

Lu Yuan put the food on the table, gnawed on the melon and asked inarticulately, "What did you catch?" It was a small black animal, which looked like a cow and a horse.

"A little wildebeest, keep it." Li seemed to want to expand the breeding herd, catching some live animals back from time to time.

They had a cow, four sheep, a flock of long-tailed golden pheasants, and now a baby wildebeest.Just preparing food for these animals is a lot of work. Every day after the sun goes down, Li and Lu Yuan go to mow the grass for backup.Considering the long-term plan, the hard work is actually worth it.Cows can provide them with fresh milk, a dozen chickens lay eggs every day, and they can kill sheep for meat when there is no food.

Half of the dry season is over, and the really harsh days are coming, but so far, Lu Yuan and his gang have had a good time.

"Now is the mammoth's estrus period. Be careful when you go out, and don't get close to these dangerous male elephants." Li knows that males in estrus will become extremely aggressive. For ordinary humans, messing with them is tantamount to Dead end.

"I'm curious how the mammoth survived in such a hot environment. It's too hot for me to sit still. Those animals with thick fur should have lived in the Ice Age." Tyrannosaurus can exist at the same time, and there is nothing strange about it.

"I'm too hot." Tuantuan complained, wagging his tail, "You and Tuanzi are both naked, and they can turn into humans with strength, but I'm so hot with my hair!" I had no interest in their conversation at all. , Just eat the little things to your death, and occasionally insert a sentence or two.

"If you're not convinced, change yourself quickly. I'm still waiting for you to become a young and middle-aged labor force." Lu Yuan blinked, saying that it would be a lie if he didn't expect the little thing to turn into a human. He had already imagined it countless times in his heart. up.According to Tuantuan's father's appearance, when the little thing grows up, he should be a handsome man with a body as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture.

Thinking of these inexplicable things again, Lu Yuan shook his head, then turned to ask Li: "It's strange, there are quite a lot of orcs. Why did Hill say that no one in his family has ever seen an orc?"

"This is not a strange thing. This Hengduan mountain range divides the island into two parts. Hill's tribe has always lived here, and the orc race lives on the other side of the mountain range. Unless there are special circumstances, we will not come here. Come here." Li's answer made Lu Yuan's mouth wide open, speechless, what was he talking about, the island?

"Do you know what an island is?" Lu Yuan asked uncertainly.

Understanding his disbelief, he said with a smile: "There are sea water all around, and the land in the middle is an island, right? When Feilong first learned the truth, he also had a look of astonishment, and he didn't believe my words."

The huge shock made Lu Yuan unable to recover. The mainland where he lived for several months turned out to be an island!In this way, if it is on an isolated island isolated from the outside world, it is possible to evolve various strange species.He remembered the National Geographic magazine he read a long time ago, about the independent evolution theory of this magical land of Australia, the ecological chain free from external interference, and the independent world.

"Then how big is this island, and how far is the city on the other side of the mountain from here? You said it would take a month to go back and forth to the bear tribe gathering place. How did you come and go back?" Too many questions made him unable to think. On a piece of land, I didn't expect it to be an island.

So, is he still on the earth, or has he arrived in another mysterious galaxy?

"I don't know how big it is. The map was drawn when the ancestors migrated. I didn't walk through it myself." Li chewed the dried meat and thought about finding a way to brew some wine, otherwise this life would be too sad: "In the mountains There is a long tunnel in the middle, which connects from one side of the mountain to the other, and it takes about ten days to walk, and the bears have always used this tunnel to go back and forth."

"So long!" It took more than a month to go back and forth.

"So I know it's impossible for Barlow to reply to you so quickly. It's very dangerous to go through the tunnel in the dry season." After eating and drinking enough, Li began to rummage through the dragon's cabinet, opening all the pots and jars one by one to check.

"What are you looking for?" Lu Yuan was curious.

Li dug out an earthen jar from a bamboo basket full of soil, opened a sealed container, and showed great surprise on his face: "Mr. Feilong is good at wine, I was thinking that he must have kept the wine koji, and it really is. "A sweet and sour smell emanated from the small jar, and the white object resembling distiller's grains was filled to the brim.

He held up the pot and said triumphantly: "Let's brew some good wine too!" After speaking, he got busy.

"What is wine?" Tuantuan swallowed another piece of tender meat, his mouth full of greasy food.

Lu Yuan is not addicted to alcohol, but he is not a teetotaler either. He is very happy when he gets to drink: "It is a kind of drink, something that makes people feel comfortable after drinking it." In modern society, all drinks are brewed. How to make wine is very new to him, and he can't give up the good opportunity to observe it anyway.

Jianli found some grains from the sack, compared them left and right, and finally chose glutinous rice.Of course, Feilong doesn't grow its own grain. These grains were brought by Hill, and there is not much left, but it is enough to brew a little for self-drinking.

He washed the glutinous rice carefully, steamed it in a steamer until half-cooked, and then spread it out to dry. He said to Lu Yuan in an admiring tone: "Mr. Feilong is a very powerful person. Although there is nothing in this place, he Find ways to make your life better." Not only must you fill your stomach, but you must also have a good time.

Lu Yuan became more and more curious about this mysterious time-traveling senior, what kind of person is he?Fighting alone in the foreign world, helping the alien race to unify the tribe, and adopting Hill at the risk of being killed... He is eager to know more about this powerful man, and he does not hesitate to tell a lot about the past.

Tuantuan and Tuanzi were not interested in their conversation, and the two lay beside them just to wait for food.

How can the little thing be so tricky to hide, he smiled and said: "You can't drink the wine right away, don't wait." After speaking, he opened the crock, mixed the koji and glutinous rice and stirred them evenly. Pack into a larger jar.Seal the mouth of the tank with straw and yellow mud, and bury it in the mud where the sun can shine: "After the grains ferment naturally, it will become wine. According to the current heat, it will take about ten days."

After stepping on the soil hard, a trace of pain suddenly appeared on his face, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, and said with self-deprecation: "How can I relieve my worries, only Du Kang...Mr. I remember it all."

In a foreign land far away from relatives and friends, people who had no connection with each other got together for various reasons and formed this bizarre family.Lu Yuan knew that Li took care of them like a patriarch, he was always gentle and reliable, but he refused to show any vulnerability.

He didn't say it, but it didn't mean Lu Yuan couldn't see it.In my heart, I always think about that person...

The scorching sun made people unable to open their eyes, and the jars buried under the soil became a little bit of longing in the hearts of sad people.
