After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

As a bird-clan sub-orc, Bai Wu saw someone hatching an egg for the first time.

The nursery for the Bai people to incubate eggs is in a small cave.

Perhaps in order to keep warm, two pots of charcoal fire were lit here. Even in the middle of winter, when you enter this cave, you can feel a sense of warmth rushing towards your face.

In addition to the warmth, there is a special smell and the sound of snoring in the cave.

The cave is a bit dim, only the charcoal basin and a small round hole on the top of the head are glowing. When Baiwu came in from the outside, he could only see the outlines of big chubby white birds—they had changed their winter feathers, no matter what their size, look It looks very round.

Bai Wu took another look, then turned her head and whispered to Nan Yao, "Is the orc hatching the egg?"

Anyway, after living in the tribe for so long, Bai Wu can already recognize the animal shapes of his companions.

The big white birds squatting peacefully on the eggs are all males without exception. Bai Wu also saw a middle-aged big white bird that was extraordinarily large. It used to look fierce, but now it only looks extraordinarily peaceful.

Bai Wu felt quite eye-opening.

Nan Yao nodded, and whispered in his ear: "The eggs were originally hatched by orcs."

"No wonder everyone said to hatch an egg while there is nothing to do." Bai Wu looked at the big white birds for a few seconds, and asked sincerely, "Won't your feet go numb when you squat like this?"

"Not squatting, but sitting. The eggs are on the feet, covered with belly feathers."

The two got very close, and the orcs snored loudly, even though other people followed them, they didn't hear what they were saying.

After their chat was over, Ya stepped forward, "Master Priest, Lord Wu, do you want me to wake them up and prepare to bless them?"

Nan Yao nodded, "Bring up the blessing materials."

The material for blessing is a pot of paint mud, and Nan Yao will use the prepared paint mud to draw special characters on the eggshells to show blessings.

In order not to freeze Baby Egg, Nanyao sent these paint mud over in advance, and they are now warming on the brazier over water.

Ya turned his head and ordered, and among the crowd watching behind him, someone soon went out and brought in the paint mud.

They didn't deliberately keep quiet, the orcs who were hatching eggs had already noticed them, and were moving their bodies, making a small "cuckoo" sound.

The low cooing sounds came and went one after another, and Bai Wu couldn't understand why he wanted to laugh.

Holding the paint mud, Nanyao waved to Bai Wu, signaling him to go to the nearest orc, "I'll draw a blessing symbol, and you can draw one too."

"Me?" Bai Wu pointed to herself, widened her eyes, and turned her head to look, "I also draw?"

"You are a wise man." Nan Yao nodded, "Draw it, I hope these children are as smart and dexterous as you after breaking out of their shells."

Bai Wu was hesitating, the orc in front of him stretched his neck slightly, making a cooing sound from his throat, his eyes as big as longan looked down, and was looking at him expectantly.

Even though the orc now had a huge bird's head on his head, Bai Wu could clearly see the hope in his eyes.

Bai Wu turned his head to look at Ya again, and their patriarch made an inviting gesture.

Nan Yao lightly shook Bai Wu's elbow, "Just follow me."

"Okay." Bai Wu swallowed, feeling a little thirsty inexplicably.

It was the first time he took on such a heavy responsibility.

The orc in front of him saw that they had negotiated, quickly stood up slightly, moved his feet, and exposed the egg baby on the flippers.

It was an egg about the size of an ostrich egg. The skin was blue-gray, and the air holes on the egg could be seen. It seemed that the eggshell was a bit thick.

Nan Yao's slender index finger dipped into the paint mud, and smoothly drew a small symbol on the eggshell.

Bai Wu knew this symbol, and they would sometimes write it on white paper. This symbol represented blessing and would be used in any sacrifice.

After Nan Yao finished writing, she turned her body slightly to signal Bai Wu to write too.

Following his example, Bai Wu dipped his index finger into the paint, picked up a ball of paint, and gently touched the eggshell.

As soon as his fingers touched the eggshell, there was a warm and soft touch from under his hands, and a little heartbeat, "plop plop plop", was transmitted to his ears through his fingers.

This egg baby is alive!

The touch of the eggshell is completely different from what it looks like, it is the touch of life.

Bai Wu's fingers trembled slightly, her eyes were full of surprise.

He was even afraid of hurting the egg baby, so the strength of his fingers was a little lighter.

Nan Yao waited for a breath, saw that he was not moving, gently held his hand, and led him to draw the symbol expressing blessing perfectly and smoothly.

"It's amazing." Bai Wu murmured.

The bird orc father who was incubating the egg cooed softly in his throat, his eyes full of pride.

"The child is very healthy." Nan Yao gently pushed the egg back to the flippers of the bird orc father, "Continue to hatch."

Bai Wu and the others walked towards the next bird orc who was hatching an egg.

The bird orc man waited for a long time, and when he saw them coming, he immediately exposed his egg baby and looked at them expectantly.

The first time he was born, the second time he was acquainted, Bai Wu was already very familiar with the symbol expressing blessings, and without showing timidity, he followed Nan Yao to draw the symbol lightly.

The people of Baiwu tribe said that they want to lay eggs and hatch them as soon as possible while they are free now, but due to physiological reasons, there are only seven baby eggs in total.

Without exception, these baby eggs were hatched by orcs.

After Bai Wu and Nanyao sent their blessings to Bai Baobao, people from the Eagle Clan also came to invite them within two days.

The nearby tribes are very well informed and have a tacit understanding. Taking advantage of the abundance of food and people's leisure, many couples want to give birth to their own babies as much as possible at this time.

Everyone is working hard, but unfortunately, the birth rate of the orcs is really not that good. Up to now, the number of egg babies in each clan has not exceeded [-].

Chuan looked at other people's egg baby, a little greedy, and quietly chatted with Bai Wu, "When will you give birth to one?"

Bai Wu imagined the scene of him transforming back into a beast shape, squatting in the nest trying to lay eggs, slightly shaking, and bluntly refused, "Nan Yao and I haven't officially become partners yet, it's too strange."

"No one will gossip."

"That's not okay, Yafu, you want to play with the baby, you can have another one, anyway, you are still young."

"It's a blessing to be able to give birth to the two of you. It's not that easy."

"This..." Bai Wu smirked, "Why don't Nanyao and I bless you? I can draw a blessing symbol on your bedside."

Chuan knocked him on the head, "Is it itchy?"

Chuan's temptations were ineffective.

Bai Wu only wants to touch other people's egg babies to play with, but she doesn't want to give birth to herself.

Nan Yao had no objection either. As a priest, all the children of the Bird Clan, in a broad sense, were their children.

On this matter, he said that everything was up to Bai Wu.

The tribe is very peaceful.

On this day, Bai Wu went down with Nan Yao with rice balls and fish to feed the two little dolphins.

The two little dolphins are in a shallow hibernation during this time, sleeping in the river, not eating much, and only waking up once every two or three days.

Bai Wu was afraid that the two little ones would be hungry, so every time he came over, he changed his way of making delicious food for them.

Small dolphins in the wild want to survive such a cold winter, they often have to consume the stored fat, and in the spring, they can lose a lot of weight.

Not only did Nanyu and Baishui lose weight, but they were fed by Baiwu's family to make them more round and cute.

After Baiwu and Nanyao fed the two porpoises, they trimmed the ice holes they opened to make them rounder, so that when Nanyu and Baishui came out to breathe and play, they would not be cut by the sharp edges of the ice .

After Bai Wu finished repairing the ice, she leaned against Nan Yao to rest, "I don't know when spring will start?"

Nan Yao calculated, "Hurry up, it's the end of January now, and the ice will melt soon."

"I hope so. I've been suffocated at home for so long."

Even though they have thick down jackets and Nan Yao's flying skills are superb, they still don't go out every day, and even take a bath every two days.

It is too troublesome to go out now, and it is easy to get cold, so they don't take much risk.

They are at home every day, staying for a long time, very boring.

Bai Wu took out the games he knew and played them with his family, and now he is tired of playing them.

He also felt that his bones were about to rust, and he seemed uncomfortable after squatting at home for a long time.

Nan Yao, "Look at tomorrow, if the weather is fine tomorrow, let's go fishing."

Bai Wu exhaled, "Okay, I'll get some bait."

In winter, thousands of miles are frozen, except for the small lake they often go to, the river below the mountain can also be fished, just dig a hole in the ice, and fish as much as you want.

They could also cast their nets underwater if they wanted to.

It's just that their fishing nets are not effective, and the weather is cold. If the fishing nets are cast down, the ice may freeze again soon, and fishing with the nets has to dig through the ice again.

Baiwu and Nanyao generally would not choose to cast nets to fish unless they were very skilled.

They went fishing every now and then and lived a peaceful life.

On this day, as usual, Bai Wu took Nan Yao with him, put on a sled and went fishing with his equipment.

The two big wolves wagged their fluffy tails and jolted their steps, pulling them to run fast on the ice field.

These two guys are used to going fishing with them, and they are also used to the extra meal after fishing. They are very active in pulling the sled every time, and they are still the same today.

Before Baiwu pulled the reins, they ran towards the ice, the sled gliding fast behind them.

The whistling wind blew towards his face, Bai Wu squinted his eyes, and couldn't see clearly the scene of the ice surface.

He covered the animal skin on his face and covered his hat, waiting for the two big wolves to stop.

Before they reached the middle of the ice, Nan Yao suddenly pulled the rein in his hand and listened attentively, "Wait, it seems that the ice has cracked."

Bai Wu didn't react for a moment, "What?"

Nanyao tightened the reins slightly with his hands, "The ice is cracked, I'll go down and have a look."

The ice surface was too slippery. When he tried hard, the two big wolves slid too. The sled slid a long way on the ice surface, scratching up a large number of crystal clear ice flakes before stopping with difficulty.

"Aww—" Nanfeng and Baixue turned their heads and yelled at them, their furry paws were still shaving the ice, urging them to move on.

Nan Yao stood up from the sled, quickly rolled over and got off the sled.

Bai Wu went down from the other side and rubbed the furry heads of the two big wolves.

The two meet behind the sled.

Their sled dragged on the ice surface, dragging long scratches, making the ice surface a little messy. At first glance, it was not clear what was going on under the ice surface.

Bai Wu squatted down, touched the ice surface with her gloved hand, and brushed away the ice flakes on it.

The bluish-white ice cubes were covered with air bubbles, and they could directly see the scene in the river through the translucent ice surface.

Those ice cubes looked all right with no cracks.

Bai Wu squatted and turned her head, looking at Nan Yao suspiciously, "It's not cracked, you may have heard it wrong."

Nan Yao pulled Bai Wu's wrist hard, and pulled him to the back, "Go over there and have a look."

Two large wolves turned their heads to watch them from afar, the wind blowing their long, shaggy fur.

Bai Wu thought of the soft and thick feel of their long hair, and his hands itched again.

"Wu." Nan Yao walked to an ice surface and stopped, beckoning to Bai Wu, "The ice here is cracked."

"Let me see, it seems to be the same as the side, is it a bubble?"

"It's not air bubbles." Nan Yao clenched his fist as he said, and punched it directly into the ice in front of him.

With the sound of "bang", the ice cube was smashed directly into the lake, and there was a "click" under their feet, with several cracks.

Bai Wu was taken aback, and subconsciously pulled Nan Yao's arm, trying to pull him back.

"It won't be completely cracked for the time being." Nan Yao moved his hands wearing animal skin socks, "But it shows that the sky is really not that cold, and even the ice cubes are slowly thawing."

Bai Wu looked down at his feet, the river was flowing slowly, "Then it's better for us not to go fishing in the middle of the lake or the river in the future? Otherwise, the ice suddenly cracks one day, and we will be in trouble."

"The weather is getting warmer, are you still interested in fishing?"

"Uh... it doesn't seem like it?"

Bai Wu shook her head and laughed to herself.Even if fishing is his hobby, he is a bit tired of fishing now.

The ice cubes are about to thaw.

When Bai Wu returned home, she couldn't wait to share the news with her family.

Kishi's eyes lit up when he heard about it, "Then can we go out hunting and gathering?"

"Theoretically yes!" Bai Wu stretched her waist, "Winter is really inconvenient, I'm almost running out of paper."

"Yeah, it's been cold for so long, and the outside is bare, and now I even miss the smell of fat grass."

"That's easy to handle. If you want to eat it, I can bring some seeds over and plant a batch for you directly in the room."

"Don't! That's what I said, you don't have to be so practical, it's okay to plant something else, forget about fat grass."

Bai Wu really hates the days when there are no green vegetables, no matter how much seaweed soup, it can't quench his desire to eat vegetables.

The family really didn't like fat grass, so Bai Wu compromised and finally decided to distribute some bean sprouts.

They planted a lot of beans last year, and changed a lot of beans. Now there is no shortage of beans at home, and it is no problem to take some out to sprout bean sprouts.

It just so happens that bean sprouts don’t need soil, just water, which is relatively clean and won’t stain their kang.

Bai Wu put half a basket of beans on the kang, and wrapped them in a soaked cloth.

Under warm and humid conditions, the beans started to germinate the next day.

Then, they take on a new look every day.

After five days, their bean sprouts finally sprouted and could be taken to the kitchen for cooking.

This time, Baiwu didn't put anything in the fried bean sprouts, only used animal oil and thin salt, and fried it in a big pot on high heat.

This pot of plain bean sprouts was warmly welcomed by the whole family, and everyone even scraped the bottom of the plate clean.

When they were about to finish half the basket of bean sprouts, Bai Wu and Nan Yao went down to feed the two little dolphins with food on their backs, only to find that the river below had thawed at some point.

Masses of cracked ice were floating in the river, as suddenly as the river had frozen over that day.

The river flows slowly, and the ice blocks collide with each other, making small noises.

Bai Wu stood on the surface of the river, feeling the wind blowing head-on, this wind was not as strong as before, it seemed to blow people's heads off.

For the first time, he intuitively felt that spring is coming.

They are finally getting through the long winter.
