The bread kiln is ready.
Bai Wu cherishes the bread kiln in his house very much, and visits it every morning and before going to bed at night.
He was so solemn, and the family members also became worried, fearing that the bakery would come again if the bakery failed.
After more than ten days, the bread kiln finally dried out, and the soil outside had changed from dark brown to yellowish brown. When Bai Wu patted it, the movement coming from the soil was different from before.
That night, the cold wind was blowing.
When Bai Wu inspected the bread kiln again, Kishi couldn't help asking: "Wu, is this bread kiln ready?"
Bai Wu tapped on the kiln body lightly, felt the sound, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I guess it's done, let's set it on fire tomorrow and try."
Kishi smiled, "I'll prepare firewood for you tomorrow, what's so important about firewood?"
"It doesn't matter much, as long as it is dry and easy to burn."
When they built the bread kiln, they built a wooden frame inside, otherwise the bread kiln would not be able to support it.
Now that the soil is dry and the kiln has been molded, the last step is to light a torch to burn the wooden frame, otherwise there is no way to take out the frame inside.
Early the next morning, the whole family gathered in front of the bread kiln.
Bai Wu lit a handful of dead branches and leaves, and put them in the stove in the lower part of the bread kiln.
As soon as the firewood was put in, black smoke immediately came out of the flue left behind.
Kishi widened his eyes and looked at the black smoke coming out of it, "You said the most important thing is the flue, this flue is no problem, is it enough?"
"It should be, it depends on how much heat energy is stored in it, and whether the food can be successfully baked." Bai Wu said and stuffed a handful of firewood into the upper part of the kiln cavity of the bread kiln, "Whether it works or not, we will bake it today." There will be results."
An optimistically said: "No, it's okay, let's make another one. After watching for so long, I can do it. If you are too lazy to do it, I will get you the materials."
Bai Wu smiled, "Thank you bro."
Chuan took one in each hand, "Let's have breakfast first."
Bai Wu's house burned all morning in the bread kiln.
After the fire inside was extinguished, Bai Wu stuffed two noodles into the upper kiln, and after a while, pulled them out again. The two noodles were already baked, and he and An each shared the noodles, and the noodles were eaten again. It is fragrant and waxy, without the burnt smell buried in the fire.
Kishi was very pleasantly surprised, "This bread kiln is not bad, it won't break, right?"
"It's not certain." Bai Wu raised his eyebrows, "If we don't do something well and leave a hidden danger, it might break down in a few days, and if everything is done well, maybe we can use you The grandchildren."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, An's expression was still a little depressed, and after listening to the second half, he punched Bai Wu with his fist, "You just have to hide!"
"It hurts, it hurts." Bai Wu pretended to cover his shoulders, put his other hand on An An's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry about it all the time. If it breaks down, let's make another one. It costs nothing."
"If it's broken, don't expect me to do it."
"Then I'll ask Father to help me."
The two brothers bickered for a while.
Bai Wu clasped An'an's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Have you not seen Xi and the others come over to play at home for a long time, and the bread kiln is ready, why don't you invite them to play at home and make delicious food for you?"
"Isn't there no green root powder at home? I'd better keep it for you to eat next time."
"Even if we don't bake green root cake, we can also bake something else, such as grilled fish, grilled meat, roasted bird eggs, and roasted noodles."
"Brother, please invite them to celebrate, just let them see the bread kiln in our family."
Bai Wu talked nonsense, and after talking for a long time, Kishi agreed.
Bai Wu saw a smile on his face again, and touched his chest, feeling uncomfortable.
Kishi had been a little cautious around him since the last time he smashed something.
Probably frightened.
Winter was almost halfway through, and the young Asian orcs were panicking in the tribe. When they heard Bai Wu's invitation, one or two were very happy, and they came to their house for a party with food on their backs.
As soon as they arrived, Bai Wu's house immediately became lively.
"Isn't your bread kiln so cute? I've never seen such a small kiln."
"Kan, can pottery be fired in it?"
"How do I use this? Tell us quickly! I know that you must have produced something extraordinary while staying at home."
Kishi looked at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu returned an encouraging look and indicated that his brother could say anything.
Kishi was really happy, and took his friends to introduce this small bread kiln to them, and also talked about the green root cake and salad dressing baked before.
Bai Wu timely brought out the pre-grilled meat and mixed fat grass salad to entertain everyone.
Few of this group of sub-orcs like to eat grass, but they accept the fat grass salad well.
Bai Wu introduced the method of salad dressing to them at the right time, and showed them the salad bucket.
Everyone was very interested in this weird-looking bucket, and pulled the bank to make salad dressing on the spot.
Kishi is a veteran of making salad dressing, and already has his own experience on how to make salad dressing.
Seeing them like this, Bai Wu took out the eggs and taught them how to make salad dressing in the yard.
Bai Wu's house had food and fun, and everyone had a great time at their house, and they didn't say goodbye until night fell.
Kishi played for a day and looked very happy.
Bai Wu coaxed his brother, "Go play in the tribe tomorrow, and bring me two cans of salad dressing for Mu."
"Can old people like Mu eat salad dressing? It's all raw, will it cause diarrhea?"
"It should be fine, let him try it first. If it doesn't work, let the patriarch eat it."
"Or forget it. If I go to play in the tribe, there will be no one at home to help you do the work."
"Father, aren't they at home? Besides, there's not much work at home, so I'll finish it easily, so you don't need to stay here to help me."
"Who are you lying to?" An smiled, "Father, they stay at home less than me."
The two fathers were sticky, and they would go out together every day even in winter. It seemed that they didn't need to go hunting and gathering with the tribe. The two finally had time to date, and they often disappeared early in the morning.
Only when Bai Wu went to the vegetable garden or the livestock shed did he know that the two fathers had already come and finished their work.
The two fathers were not at home today, Bai Wu joked, "Father, if they are not here, let the priest help me, anyway, they are so close, I shouted for a while, and he came down."
"Just bully the priest."
"I'm not, I'm not."
After Bai Wu yelled half-truthfully, the two laughed together again.
Bai Wu smiled and said, "Really, you can go to the little friends of the tribe. I will talk to the priest tomorrow."
Among the entire sub-orc tribe, Nan Yao and Bai Wu had the most common language, or Bai Wu felt that Nan Yao and him had the most common language.
When the two were together, Nan Yao didn't really know much.
However, he would listen silently to what Bai Wu said in front of him, and sometimes when it involved some special matters, he would not ask questions.
Now Bai Wu no longer expects someone to understand the strange things in his mouth, it is very good to ask all kinds of questions without asking questions.
Nan Yao is a very suitable listener.
Bai Wu was never worried that he would reveal anything.
In other words, it was precisely because he was the person with the highest status in the entire bird orc tribe, as long as Bai Wu was safe with him, no matter where he was, he was safe.
Even if Nan Yao really said something, it doesn't matter.
The next day, the family of four each had their own fun.
Bai Wu put the soaked leaf stalks in a basket on her back, and flew to the mountain to find Nanyao.
Bai Wu told Nan Yao the night before that Nan Yao didn't go anywhere and just waited for him in the nest.
Before Bai Wu fell down, he saw Nan Yao grinding something in the nest from afar.
"Woo." Nan Yao put down his things and came up to him.
Bai Wu let out a cry, and changed back into a human form, "I heard the sound of thumping on your side from afar, are you grinding medicine powder again?"
"Yeah. Take advantage of the free time in winter, and grind out the medicine powder for the coming year."
As a priest, Nanyao, in addition to leading the tribal people to perform sacrifices on major festivals, has another identity in life as a doctor.
Maybe the witch doctor is not separated, and his medical skills seem to be okay.
In the entire bird orc tribe, no matter who had a problem, he was the first thing everyone thought of, and Bai Wu even drank the medicine he instilled.
Bai Wu poked his head to look at the off-white powder in the mortar, "When will these medicinal powders be ground? Why don't you ask someone else to help you grind them next time. Is it the turn of the long-legged people to worship this month?"
"They don't know how much to use or how much to grind."
"Then you watch from the side."
"If I have time to watch it, I might as well grind it myself."
Bai Wu shook her head, followed behind his buttocks and sighed pretendingly, "Born to work hard."
Nan Yao showed a smile in his eyes, and gave him a shelter from the wind, "Is it cold to fly up?"
"It's okay, you guys always scare me, you want to make thick clothes, and you want to live in a cave. I thought it would be so cold in winter, but I didn't expect it to be like this?"
"This year is much colder and warmer than previous years. If it were previous years, the snow outside is now deeper than a human thigh."
"Why do I feel that you are lying to me? In my vague memory, I don't feel that the snow was particularly deep in any year. If it was deeper than the thigh, wouldn't the child be buried in the snow when he walked out?"
"The tribe will shovel snow, and next year it will snow heavily, and you will know."
The two were talking, and Bai Wu held the basket in front of him.
His basket is full of leaf stems, because they have been soaked, cleaned and steamed for many times, the leaf stems are now very smooth, dry and soft to the touch, not at all sticky when they were just taken out.
After Bai Wu took out the leaf stalk, she also took out the simple spinning wood underneath.
He had been clamoring for so long to make these leaf stalks into fishing nets, and now he was finally free to spin them into thread and then weave them a second time.
Nan Yao finished grinding the powder and sat down to help him spin the thread.
Spinning thread is not complicated, and it doesn't even need to be bothersome, as long as the mechanical movements are performed with the hands.
The two chatted and spun, and the day passed.
Bai Wu reckoned that he had spent a whole day blowing water, and his desire for expression had been released to the fullest, so he worked with Nan Yao for a day, and he didn't find it too boring.
In the evening, they also went to the hot spring to take a bath together.
Although there are two hot springs, each bathing in its own way, but because they are very close, when shouting at the top of their voices, they can still get a response from the other party.
It's also fun to take a shower.
After taking a bath, the two returned to Nanyao's den. After eating some barbecue, they lit the animal oil lamps and fought at night.
"Okay, today's thread is finished, I'll come back tomorrow." Bai Wu stood up and stretched, "Are you in the nest tomorrow? Is there anything to do?"
"No, I just finished patrolling the territory, and I'll go back in a few days."
"Then I'll come back tomorrow. It's probably enough to spin tomorrow morning. Let's go fishing in the afternoon. The bread kiln is quite useful. When we catch fish, we can use the bread kiln to bake the fish."
"I'll wait for you in the den tomorrow."
The two made an agreement that Bai Wu didn't even take the spinning wood, but went back with the thread on his back.
He felt that his physical fitness had improved again. When he flew down, he didn't feel tired or cold at all.
Of course, it may also be because the whole body is warmed up by soaking in hot springs.
Because his body felt good, he was also in a good mood. When he flew down and was still in the sky, he saw his brother standing in front of the bread kiln, stroking the bread kiln with his hand.
His brother's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
Looking at it, Bai Wu felt uncomfortable again.
The next day, Bai Wu said to Nan Yao in a low mood: "I really did something wrong last time. I only cared about venting myself, and didn't consider the feelings of my family at all."
"If you feel you did something wrong, apologize and make amends."
"My brother isn't angry with me, he's just a little scared, and now he doesn't dare to tell me what he wants to eat."
Nan Yao listened silently.
Bai Wu said: "I want to go to the tribe tomorrow to exchange some green roots. I won't come today, let's see you the day after tomorrow, and I will bring you delicious food the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk tomorrow and see if I can get any delicious food."
Since Bai Wu built a new house, he rarely went back to the tribe, but he was very familiar with the people in the tribe.
As soon as he returned to the tribe that day, the tribe members who were warming up among several nests by the river beckoned him to go over and stuffed him with freshly baked snacks.
"Wu, why are you free today?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, are you whiter again?"
Bai Wu touched his face, said with a smile: "Probably not, go out every day, where to go?"
"I think there are, not only white, but also thin. Among you sub-orc people, you are the thinnest."
"Wu seems to be the tallest too. I checked the other day, and he is almost as tall as Mo."
The sub-orcs of the Bai nationality are all tall and thin, and Bai Wu is the best among them.
Among his peers, he is indeed one of the tallest.
Bai Wu smiled and sat by the fire, listening to everyone chatting.
While everyone was warming up to the fire, they were more or less doing something with their hands, such as sewing leather or weaving baskets.
Bai Wu is not interested in handwork.
He looked at it for a while and asked, "Do you know anyone who has Qinggen?"
"The green roots in your family have been consumed a lot recently. Is it because of the bread kiln?"
"Yes. It is much more convenient to bake things after having a bread kiln. My brother also likes to eat, so I will change some more."
Hearing what he said, everyone took him to inquire about the bread kiln with great interest, and only after they inquired clearly did they tell him with satisfaction that the Dada family had one.
In the whole tribe, the Dada family is the group of families that Baiwu has dealt with the least.
Dada's parents happened to be a generation older than Chuan and the others.
Dada is also a generation older than Baiwu.
The two parties happen to be perfectly staggered, whether it is making friends or doing daily work, they will basically never be together.
Bai Wu is quite familiar with his family's situation, because his family is one of the few families with cubs in the tribe.
There are very few cubs in the tribe, and when a cub is born, it will be particularly noticeable.
No matter who mentions his family in the tribe, he must mention his cubs.
Bai Wu bid farewell to the clansmen who warmed up by the fire, and walked to the other side of the mountain with a basket on his back.
The Bai people live close to mountains and rivers, and they all live in the same mountain and in the same river valley.
Dada's house is on the other side of the mountain, just around the corner.
When Bai Wu passed by, Dada and his partner were playing with his cubs by the side of the nest. The two stood up to say hello. Dada's partner made an excuse to find friends and left the space for them.
The cub of Dada's family is called "Xi".
This cub is now in the shape of a beast, which is not as big as their duck. It is walking on two legs, and its buttocks are still bouncing when it walks.
Seeing Bai Wu approaching, he flapped his proportionately short wings and ran over, hitting his head on Bai Wu's leg, and raised his black eyes to look at Bai Wu, "Chirp."
Bai Wu had seen the cubs in the tribe from a distance before, but never approached them to say hello.
It was the first time for him to see the appearance of the cubs so carefully, and it was also the first time that he knew that their cubs were still fluffy in their animal form.
He is like a newborn duckling, with thin and soft fur, black eyes, and bright red mouth, looking very cute.
Bai Wu felt his palms itch.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the cub on the ground pecked at the lower part of his robe with its tender red mouth, "Jijiu."
Depend on.
Why is this guy so cute?
Bai Wu looked at the cub on the ground, but didn't speak.
"Wu." Dada, who was teasing the cub, stood up, thinking that he was shy, so he changed the subject and said with a smile, "What do you want us to do?"
"I heard that you still have green roots in your house. I want to come over and exchange some."
"Why is your green root consumed so quickly? It was only last time that An An asked us to change the green root."
"I'm greedy, I always eat green roots, and I can't eat them anymore."
"Everyone has his or her own. It's not greedy. Come and sit down. Do you want some water? The water in our house is boiled now."
When Bai Wu woke up, he only drank boiled water. The people in the tribe saw that there were many new things in their house, so they followed suit. Now the whole tribe only drinks boiled water when they are in the nest.
Bai Wu waved her hand, "It's too cold, I don't want to drink water, I'm too lazy to go out to the bathroom."
"Hahahaha, me too, let's eat some stone fruit. What do you want to exchange for my green roots? Let me tell you first, I don't have many green roots, only twenty or thirty."
Bai Wu was a little disappointed, he didn't expect the number to be so small.
If such a little green root is washed into powder, there will be nothing left.
Bai Wu still smiled, "What do you want? Whether it's bird eggs, salad dressing, goat's milk, milk tofu, tell me, see if I can get it?"
"No, no, green root is not a good thing. If you have a lot of bird eggs, you can exchange some bird eggs with us. This little guy is hungry."
Hearing his sub-father mention it, the cub puffed out his small chest, and opened his mouth with a series of "chirp, chirp, chirp".
This series of cries was full of joy, Bai Wu, who doesn't like children, couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. He looked at Dada, "Can I touch it?"
"You'll have to ask the little guy."
Before Bai Wu could ask, the cub on the ground flapped its wings, jumped up, and jumped into his arms.
The little guy's fur is very soft, soft and smooth, fluffy and fluffy, and he will use his tender mouth to peck at Bai Wu's fingers.
Bai Wu hugged him, and lightly stretched out her hand to stroke his back.
Soft tentacles.
Much better than stroking cats!
The little guy rolled on his lap, showing his furry belly to him.
Bai Wu lived up to the little guy's trust, and stroked the little guy's belly with his hands.
There is a layer of soft flesh on the little guy's belly, which feels more like a cat to the touch.
If it wasn't for his father being here, Bai Wu would even want to smoke a little bit. He has only smoked cats before, so he doesn't know what it's like to suck birds.
"Jiu Jiu Jiu." The cub seemed to like being stroked on his belly, and when Bai Wu stopped, he pecked his fingers again, signaling him to continue.
"Oh my God, he's too obedient." Bai Wu showed a smirk on his face, and touched the little guy's belly again.
Dada saw Bai Wu amusing his son happily, and said with a smile: "He likes you, but he wasn't so good when he was by my side."
"Chirp!" the little guy protested.
Seeing him flapping his short wings, Bai Wu hurriedly flapped them a few more times.
When Bai Wu came to the tribe, he was not in a good mood, but when he returned, he was already smiling.
Chuan happened to be at home, and seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"Ok?"
"Look at the smile on your face, the mouth is almost grinning to the corner of your eyes."
"Here, today I touched Dada's son."
"Is his son learning to fly in animal form now?"
"That's right, when I went, he kept his animal shape, but looking at his short wings, he probably won't be able to fly in the near future hahahaha."
"Also, people, wasn't it the same when you were young?"
Bai Wu became curious, "What were we like when we were young? Were we also in the shape of a beast like Dada's son?"
"You have used it for a long time. Your brother was born not long ago, and he will soon be able to fly, and then he can freely switch between animal form and human form. You have maintained the animal form for two or three years. At that time, we thought you would not It changed into a human form, but I didn’t expect it to slowly change back.”
Bai Wu couldn't imagine that he was a stupid bird when he was a child.
He asked, "Are we hatched too? How long have we been inside the egg?"
"It didn't take long. Your brother broke the shell first, and the shell broke in seven months. You stayed in the egg for almost a year."
"so long?"
"This is the case with the bird and beast people. Some little guys stay in the egg for a long time, and some for a short time. You are not too long. I heard that the priest stayed in the egg for two years and three months."
"Hahahahaha, he's almost becoming a Nezha himself. The next time I see him, I'll ask him."
Chuan automatically skipped the topics he didn't understand, and looked at his back basket, "Why did you come back with so many green roots?"
"Doesn't Kishi like to eat green root powder? I'll wash some more out."
Bai Wu said a little depressed, "I've asked all the questions today, and no family in the tribe has many green roots."
Chuan patted him on the back.
Bai Wu continued: "Now there is snow everywhere outside, and we can't find the green roots under the snow. The green roots in our own vegetable garden have to be dug next year. I guess there will be no green roots to eat after eating this batch of green root powder. "
"Then eat it next year."
Bai Wu turned a pair of bright eyes to look around, and seeing that his father and brother were not there, he whispered to his father, "I seemed to be scared when I smashed the clay pot last time, and now he doesn't say that he wants to eat a sandwich."
"Among the family, is there anything to be scared about? It will be fine after a while, don't worry about it."
"That being said, I still want to make him a sandwich. Yafu, besides green root and noodles, are there any other foods that taste similar to green root?"
Chuan Wenyan thought about it carefully, "There must be no rhizomes. Even if there are outside, the snow is so thick now, and they must not be found. If you have to say it, the core of the longevity tree is a bit like the green root, and it is also crispy. , There is a faint sweet taste when biting."
Bai Wu's eyes lit up, "Where does it grow?"
"There is nothing in our tribe, you have to go to the place of the Eagle tribe to find it. They have a cloud mountain in their tribe, do you know?"
Bai Wu pursed her lips, "I've heard Nan Yao say it."
Chuan asked, "Master Priest?"
Bai Wu received his Yafu's sharp eyes, his scalp went numb, and he quickly corrected his slip of the tongue, "Yes, it's the priest. I can go to other tribes to collect and hunt. I asked the tribes what mountains And water, he told me once, and I remembered."
Chuan didn't pursue his slip of the tongue too much, "The eagle tribe has more food than us. They hardly eat the heart of the longevity tree. You should go to them to find it, and you should be able to find it."
"Then I'll ask the priest."
Bai Wu took the opportunity to take a bath with Nan Yao at night, and asked him what happened to the longevity tree.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking about this kind of tree?"
"My father said that the heart of this kind of tree can be eaten, but people of the eagle clan don't like to eat it, so let me ask by the way. Is it the same as green root?"
"It's the same, but this kind of tree is very big, and it takes two people to hug it. It's very troublesome to cut it down. Most people don't know how to cut this kind of tree."
Bai Wu thought for a while, "Can you take me to have a look?"
"If you are free, we can start tomorrow."
Bai Wu immediately nodded.
Nan Yao looked into his eyes, "Then come and find me early tomorrow."
The next day, Bai Wu specially carried a stone ax and charcoal on his back.
When he used to cut trees, he liked to cut a gap at the foot of the tree, and then put a pile of firewood to burn slowly.
As long as you don't cut down the beams, this is the fastest and most labor-saving way to cut down trees, because dozens of trees can be burned at the same time, and usually one tree can be burned down in half a day.
He also planned to use this method to cut down the longevity tree.
Unexpectedly, he had made all the preparations. When he arrived at the place of the Eagle Clan the next day, seeing a mountain full of green and beautiful trees, he suddenly felt a little bit hesitant to do so.
He opened his mouth, "This tree is too beautiful. If you cut them down, how thick is the edible core inside?"
Nan Yao supported a nearby tree with one hand, and stretched out his fist, "It won't be thicker than my fist."
"That's too wasteful. Except for the edible part, can the other parts only be used as firewood?"
"It's all cut in half and can only be used as firewood."
Bai Wu opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Such a tall tree does not know how many years it will grow.
Just to eat a little core inside, they cut down the tree, which is too destructive to resources.
Nan Yao waited for him to make a decision.
Bai Wu turned to look at him, and asked, "Looking at such a tall tree, isn't it in line with your ideals?"
He still remembers Nanyao's concept of sustainable development.
This is a priest who doesn't even let his prey be beaten.
"There are so many longevity trees here. No one will eat their hearts except you. You can chop them down if you want, it doesn't matter."
After a pause, Nan Yao went on to say, "Cut it off, we can continue to plant it. There are many long-lived trees nearby."
Bai Wu hesitated for a long time, "Let's forget it, I don't want to do it, I always feel that it's a bit cruel to harm such a big tree just to satisfy my desire."
He said forget it, but he felt a little depressed. He sat down on the tree root next to him, and said nothing to the small piece of sky above his head.
Nan Yao sat on the root of the tree with him.
After he was quiet for a while, Nan Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to cut down trees, I'll take you to find mushrooms nearby."
"There are still mushrooms in this season?"
"Every season. In this season, there are not only mushrooms, but also wild fruits. There is also a kind of edible grass growing deep in the forest, but the grass will freeze into pieces of oil jelly after being cooked, a bit like animal skin jelly. .”
"Skin jelly?" Bai Wu's ears caught something he was interested in, and he turned his head, his eyes lit up, "Is it something that is a little bit elastic and tasteless?"
"Hmm. I don't like it."
"I also have this kind of thing in my dreams. I usually put some fruit in it and make jelly to eat."
"If you want to eat, I will take you to find it later."
"Don't wait, let's go now."
Bai Wu patted her butt and stood up.
Nan Yao said to him, "The grass grows on the tree trunk, we have to walk up from here."
"Then go."
"I'll pull you up, there's too much snow here, it's too slippery."
Nan Yao stretched out his hand to pull Bai Wu's wrist.
Bai Wu misunderstood, thought she wanted to hold hands, and stuffed her palm into his big palm.
Nanyao is an orc, and his body temperature is higher, especially in this snowy weather.
Bai Wu looked at him in surprise, "Your hands are so warm, they even caught up with the small stove."
Nan Yao's other hand twitched, pulling his palm more firmly.
The two walked up the mountain step by step.
After walking for a while, Nan Yao found that kind of dark green grass on the trunk, and asked Bai Wu to pull the grass together.
This kind of grass is a bit like tree moss. It has almost no moisture, and a large piece can be pulled out when it is pulled.
Best of all, the roots of these grasses grip the bark tightly, and there is no sand.
Smell Baiwu, and you can smell the pure fragrance of green grass. You can imagine that when the grass is pulled back, it must be very convenient to wash.
Bai Wu likes everything that is convenient.
Bai Wu's depressed mood because of the lack of a tree core became high again, and he even hummed a song on the way back.
He no longer remembers the lyrics of the song in his previous life, but the melody is still firmly in his mind.
The bird orc has an unparalleled talent in music. When he hums, the melody is particularly melodious.
Listening to his extraordinarily flying melody, Nan Yao's mood also improved.
The two picked a lot of mushrooms, fruits, and tree moss to go back.
Nan Yao sent Bai Wu home directly.
At the time of parting, Nanyao said: "I seem to have seen the kind of wheat you mentioned in the orc tribe. Even if it's not wheat, it's something similar. Wait until I finish patrolling the territory and take you there."
Bai Wu didn't expect such a surprise, the expression on his face lit up, "Really?!"
"It should be true, but the road is very long. If you want to go, you have to be mentally prepared."
"I'm not afraid of distance!" Bai Wu's face was full of excitement, "If you can really find wheat, you can let me fly outside for three months."
"It doesn't take as long as three months, more than half a month is enough."
"That's sure to be fine."
The two stood there and looked at each other.
Normally, Bai Wu would say goodbye to him first, but today, he couldn't say goodbye.
Bai Wu had never thought Nan Yao was so cute, so he was reluctant to leave for a while.
Nan Yao didn't know what was going on, and didn't mention going back.
In the end, Bai Wu asked, "Why don't you have dinner at my house? I'll see if I can make jelly tonight."
"Not yet, I'll go back first."
"Then I'll bring it for you when I take a shower. See you later."
Nan Yao nodded, and then changed back into a beast shape, flapping her wings and flying towards the sky.
Bai Wu watched him go, looked back, and saw Kishi standing quietly in the distance.
Bai Wu was taken aback, "I have nothing to do with the priest, he just sent me back."
Kishi didn't ask anything, "Is it cold? We've already cooked dinner at home."
"It's neither cold nor cold. Why did you cook so early today? I picked some tree moss and came back. The priest said that you can use this to make tree moss jelly. I'll make jelly for you to eat at night."
Bai Wu had never realized that when he was nervous, he would talk so much, today's nonsense seemed to be overwhelming, word by word fell out of his mouth.
He straightened his back and walked into the kitchen, patted his chest, only to realize that his back was sweating in the cold weather.
Grass.
Bai Wu was simply unbelievable, he obviously hadn't done anything guilty, how could he be so frightened?
After thinking about it for a long time, it can only be attributed to his brother standing there silently, looking very scary, so he was frightened.
People are scary, scary to death!
"Why is this expression?" As soon as Kishi entered the kitchen, he saw Bai Wu looking at him resentfully, his head full of bewilderment, "What's wrong with you today? It's so strange."
"No."
"Then what are you going to do? I'll come and help."
"Where's my father?"
"I went to the hot spring with the people in the tribe."
After hearing these words, Bai Wu's heart almost jumped out of his mouth in fright, and his voice raised a level, "Take a hot spring?"
"Yeah, it's such a cold day, they said to go to the hot spring together, and asked me if I would go, I saw that you didn't come back, so they said that we would go together when you came back..."
Bai Wu interrupted his brother, "Where are you going to soak in the hot spring, should you go to the hot spring of Lord Priest?"
"How could it be? My lord priest doesn't like to be disturbed by others, even if you don't have a bath, it is impossible to go to his place."
"That's good!"
Bai Wu patted his chest again, with lingering fear on his face.
Kishi took a deep look at him, raised his head up, and motioned, "I'm sweating."
"what?"
Bai Wu subconsciously wiped her forehead, and wiped off the sweat.
Damn, sweating on the back can still say that the robe is too hot.
What happened to the forehead?
Bai Wu was quite speechless towards herself.
This broken mental quality is too bad.
An said: "Don't worry, no one dares to disturb the priest."
"Even if there is something, no one dares to ask."
"Eh?" Bai Wu's eyes widened, her tongue stiffened, "Brother, did you misunderstand something?"
Kishi looked at him and smiled, but didn't speak.
Bai Wu cherishes the bread kiln in his house very much, and visits it every morning and before going to bed at night.
He was so solemn, and the family members also became worried, fearing that the bakery would come again if the bakery failed.
After more than ten days, the bread kiln finally dried out, and the soil outside had changed from dark brown to yellowish brown. When Bai Wu patted it, the movement coming from the soil was different from before.
That night, the cold wind was blowing.
When Bai Wu inspected the bread kiln again, Kishi couldn't help asking: "Wu, is this bread kiln ready?"
Bai Wu tapped on the kiln body lightly, felt the sound, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I guess it's done, let's set it on fire tomorrow and try."
Kishi smiled, "I'll prepare firewood for you tomorrow, what's so important about firewood?"
"It doesn't matter much, as long as it is dry and easy to burn."
When they built the bread kiln, they built a wooden frame inside, otherwise the bread kiln would not be able to support it.
Now that the soil is dry and the kiln has been molded, the last step is to light a torch to burn the wooden frame, otherwise there is no way to take out the frame inside.
Early the next morning, the whole family gathered in front of the bread kiln.
Bai Wu lit a handful of dead branches and leaves, and put them in the stove in the lower part of the bread kiln.
As soon as the firewood was put in, black smoke immediately came out of the flue left behind.
Kishi widened his eyes and looked at the black smoke coming out of it, "You said the most important thing is the flue, this flue is no problem, is it enough?"
"It should be, it depends on how much heat energy is stored in it, and whether the food can be successfully baked." Bai Wu said and stuffed a handful of firewood into the upper part of the kiln cavity of the bread kiln, "Whether it works or not, we will bake it today." There will be results."
An optimistically said: "No, it's okay, let's make another one. After watching for so long, I can do it. If you are too lazy to do it, I will get you the materials."
Bai Wu smiled, "Thank you bro."
Chuan took one in each hand, "Let's have breakfast first."
Bai Wu's house burned all morning in the bread kiln.
After the fire inside was extinguished, Bai Wu stuffed two noodles into the upper kiln, and after a while, pulled them out again. The two noodles were already baked, and he and An each shared the noodles, and the noodles were eaten again. It is fragrant and waxy, without the burnt smell buried in the fire.
Kishi was very pleasantly surprised, "This bread kiln is not bad, it won't break, right?"
"It's not certain." Bai Wu raised his eyebrows, "If we don't do something well and leave a hidden danger, it might break down in a few days, and if everything is done well, maybe we can use you The grandchildren."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, An's expression was still a little depressed, and after listening to the second half, he punched Bai Wu with his fist, "You just have to hide!"
"It hurts, it hurts." Bai Wu pretended to cover his shoulders, put his other hand on An An's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry about it all the time. If it breaks down, let's make another one. It costs nothing."
"If it's broken, don't expect me to do it."
"Then I'll ask Father to help me."
The two brothers bickered for a while.
Bai Wu clasped An'an's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Have you not seen Xi and the others come over to play at home for a long time, and the bread kiln is ready, why don't you invite them to play at home and make delicious food for you?"
"Isn't there no green root powder at home? I'd better keep it for you to eat next time."
"Even if we don't bake green root cake, we can also bake something else, such as grilled fish, grilled meat, roasted bird eggs, and roasted noodles."
"Brother, please invite them to celebrate, just let them see the bread kiln in our family."
Bai Wu talked nonsense, and after talking for a long time, Kishi agreed.
Bai Wu saw a smile on his face again, and touched his chest, feeling uncomfortable.
Kishi had been a little cautious around him since the last time he smashed something.
Probably frightened.
Winter was almost halfway through, and the young Asian orcs were panicking in the tribe. When they heard Bai Wu's invitation, one or two were very happy, and they came to their house for a party with food on their backs.
As soon as they arrived, Bai Wu's house immediately became lively.
"Isn't your bread kiln so cute? I've never seen such a small kiln."
"Kan, can pottery be fired in it?"
"How do I use this? Tell us quickly! I know that you must have produced something extraordinary while staying at home."
Kishi looked at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu returned an encouraging look and indicated that his brother could say anything.
Kishi was really happy, and took his friends to introduce this small bread kiln to them, and also talked about the green root cake and salad dressing baked before.
Bai Wu timely brought out the pre-grilled meat and mixed fat grass salad to entertain everyone.
Few of this group of sub-orcs like to eat grass, but they accept the fat grass salad well.
Bai Wu introduced the method of salad dressing to them at the right time, and showed them the salad bucket.
Everyone was very interested in this weird-looking bucket, and pulled the bank to make salad dressing on the spot.
Kishi is a veteran of making salad dressing, and already has his own experience on how to make salad dressing.
Seeing them like this, Bai Wu took out the eggs and taught them how to make salad dressing in the yard.
Bai Wu's house had food and fun, and everyone had a great time at their house, and they didn't say goodbye until night fell.
Kishi played for a day and looked very happy.
Bai Wu coaxed his brother, "Go play in the tribe tomorrow, and bring me two cans of salad dressing for Mu."
"Can old people like Mu eat salad dressing? It's all raw, will it cause diarrhea?"
"It should be fine, let him try it first. If it doesn't work, let the patriarch eat it."
"Or forget it. If I go to play in the tribe, there will be no one at home to help you do the work."
"Father, aren't they at home? Besides, there's not much work at home, so I'll finish it easily, so you don't need to stay here to help me."
"Who are you lying to?" An smiled, "Father, they stay at home less than me."
The two fathers were sticky, and they would go out together every day even in winter. It seemed that they didn't need to go hunting and gathering with the tribe. The two finally had time to date, and they often disappeared early in the morning.
Only when Bai Wu went to the vegetable garden or the livestock shed did he know that the two fathers had already come and finished their work.
The two fathers were not at home today, Bai Wu joked, "Father, if they are not here, let the priest help me, anyway, they are so close, I shouted for a while, and he came down."
"Just bully the priest."
"I'm not, I'm not."
After Bai Wu yelled half-truthfully, the two laughed together again.
Bai Wu smiled and said, "Really, you can go to the little friends of the tribe. I will talk to the priest tomorrow."
Among the entire sub-orc tribe, Nan Yao and Bai Wu had the most common language, or Bai Wu felt that Nan Yao and him had the most common language.
When the two were together, Nan Yao didn't really know much.
However, he would listen silently to what Bai Wu said in front of him, and sometimes when it involved some special matters, he would not ask questions.
Now Bai Wu no longer expects someone to understand the strange things in his mouth, it is very good to ask all kinds of questions without asking questions.
Nan Yao is a very suitable listener.
Bai Wu was never worried that he would reveal anything.
In other words, it was precisely because he was the person with the highest status in the entire bird orc tribe, as long as Bai Wu was safe with him, no matter where he was, he was safe.
Even if Nan Yao really said something, it doesn't matter.
The next day, the family of four each had their own fun.
Bai Wu put the soaked leaf stalks in a basket on her back, and flew to the mountain to find Nanyao.
Bai Wu told Nan Yao the night before that Nan Yao didn't go anywhere and just waited for him in the nest.
Before Bai Wu fell down, he saw Nan Yao grinding something in the nest from afar.
"Woo." Nan Yao put down his things and came up to him.
Bai Wu let out a cry, and changed back into a human form, "I heard the sound of thumping on your side from afar, are you grinding medicine powder again?"
"Yeah. Take advantage of the free time in winter, and grind out the medicine powder for the coming year."
As a priest, Nanyao, in addition to leading the tribal people to perform sacrifices on major festivals, has another identity in life as a doctor.
Maybe the witch doctor is not separated, and his medical skills seem to be okay.
In the entire bird orc tribe, no matter who had a problem, he was the first thing everyone thought of, and Bai Wu even drank the medicine he instilled.
Bai Wu poked his head to look at the off-white powder in the mortar, "When will these medicinal powders be ground? Why don't you ask someone else to help you grind them next time. Is it the turn of the long-legged people to worship this month?"
"They don't know how much to use or how much to grind."
"Then you watch from the side."
"If I have time to watch it, I might as well grind it myself."
Bai Wu shook her head, followed behind his buttocks and sighed pretendingly, "Born to work hard."
Nan Yao showed a smile in his eyes, and gave him a shelter from the wind, "Is it cold to fly up?"
"It's okay, you guys always scare me, you want to make thick clothes, and you want to live in a cave. I thought it would be so cold in winter, but I didn't expect it to be like this?"
"This year is much colder and warmer than previous years. If it were previous years, the snow outside is now deeper than a human thigh."
"Why do I feel that you are lying to me? In my vague memory, I don't feel that the snow was particularly deep in any year. If it was deeper than the thigh, wouldn't the child be buried in the snow when he walked out?"
"The tribe will shovel snow, and next year it will snow heavily, and you will know."
The two were talking, and Bai Wu held the basket in front of him.
His basket is full of leaf stems, because they have been soaked, cleaned and steamed for many times, the leaf stems are now very smooth, dry and soft to the touch, not at all sticky when they were just taken out.
After Bai Wu took out the leaf stalk, she also took out the simple spinning wood underneath.
He had been clamoring for so long to make these leaf stalks into fishing nets, and now he was finally free to spin them into thread and then weave them a second time.
Nan Yao finished grinding the powder and sat down to help him spin the thread.
Spinning thread is not complicated, and it doesn't even need to be bothersome, as long as the mechanical movements are performed with the hands.
The two chatted and spun, and the day passed.
Bai Wu reckoned that he had spent a whole day blowing water, and his desire for expression had been released to the fullest, so he worked with Nan Yao for a day, and he didn't find it too boring.
In the evening, they also went to the hot spring to take a bath together.
Although there are two hot springs, each bathing in its own way, but because they are very close, when shouting at the top of their voices, they can still get a response from the other party.
It's also fun to take a shower.
After taking a bath, the two returned to Nanyao's den. After eating some barbecue, they lit the animal oil lamps and fought at night.
"Okay, today's thread is finished, I'll come back tomorrow." Bai Wu stood up and stretched, "Are you in the nest tomorrow? Is there anything to do?"
"No, I just finished patrolling the territory, and I'll go back in a few days."
"Then I'll come back tomorrow. It's probably enough to spin tomorrow morning. Let's go fishing in the afternoon. The bread kiln is quite useful. When we catch fish, we can use the bread kiln to bake the fish."
"I'll wait for you in the den tomorrow."
The two made an agreement that Bai Wu didn't even take the spinning wood, but went back with the thread on his back.
He felt that his physical fitness had improved again. When he flew down, he didn't feel tired or cold at all.
Of course, it may also be because the whole body is warmed up by soaking in hot springs.
Because his body felt good, he was also in a good mood. When he flew down and was still in the sky, he saw his brother standing in front of the bread kiln, stroking the bread kiln with his hand.
His brother's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
Looking at it, Bai Wu felt uncomfortable again.
The next day, Bai Wu said to Nan Yao in a low mood: "I really did something wrong last time. I only cared about venting myself, and didn't consider the feelings of my family at all."
"If you feel you did something wrong, apologize and make amends."
"My brother isn't angry with me, he's just a little scared, and now he doesn't dare to tell me what he wants to eat."
Nan Yao listened silently.
Bai Wu said: "I want to go to the tribe tomorrow to exchange some green roots. I won't come today, let's see you the day after tomorrow, and I will bring you delicious food the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk tomorrow and see if I can get any delicious food."
Since Bai Wu built a new house, he rarely went back to the tribe, but he was very familiar with the people in the tribe.
As soon as he returned to the tribe that day, the tribe members who were warming up among several nests by the river beckoned him to go over and stuffed him with freshly baked snacks.
"Wu, why are you free today?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, are you whiter again?"
Bai Wu touched his face, said with a smile: "Probably not, go out every day, where to go?"
"I think there are, not only white, but also thin. Among you sub-orc people, you are the thinnest."
"Wu seems to be the tallest too. I checked the other day, and he is almost as tall as Mo."
The sub-orcs of the Bai nationality are all tall and thin, and Bai Wu is the best among them.
Among his peers, he is indeed one of the tallest.
Bai Wu smiled and sat by the fire, listening to everyone chatting.
While everyone was warming up to the fire, they were more or less doing something with their hands, such as sewing leather or weaving baskets.
Bai Wu is not interested in handwork.
He looked at it for a while and asked, "Do you know anyone who has Qinggen?"
"The green roots in your family have been consumed a lot recently. Is it because of the bread kiln?"
"Yes. It is much more convenient to bake things after having a bread kiln. My brother also likes to eat, so I will change some more."
Hearing what he said, everyone took him to inquire about the bread kiln with great interest, and only after they inquired clearly did they tell him with satisfaction that the Dada family had one.
In the whole tribe, the Dada family is the group of families that Baiwu has dealt with the least.
Dada's parents happened to be a generation older than Chuan and the others.
Dada is also a generation older than Baiwu.
The two parties happen to be perfectly staggered, whether it is making friends or doing daily work, they will basically never be together.
Bai Wu is quite familiar with his family's situation, because his family is one of the few families with cubs in the tribe.
There are very few cubs in the tribe, and when a cub is born, it will be particularly noticeable.
No matter who mentions his family in the tribe, he must mention his cubs.
Bai Wu bid farewell to the clansmen who warmed up by the fire, and walked to the other side of the mountain with a basket on his back.
The Bai people live close to mountains and rivers, and they all live in the same mountain and in the same river valley.
Dada's house is on the other side of the mountain, just around the corner.
When Bai Wu passed by, Dada and his partner were playing with his cubs by the side of the nest. The two stood up to say hello. Dada's partner made an excuse to find friends and left the space for them.
The cub of Dada's family is called "Xi".
This cub is now in the shape of a beast, which is not as big as their duck. It is walking on two legs, and its buttocks are still bouncing when it walks.
Seeing Bai Wu approaching, he flapped his proportionately short wings and ran over, hitting his head on Bai Wu's leg, and raised his black eyes to look at Bai Wu, "Chirp."
Bai Wu had seen the cubs in the tribe from a distance before, but never approached them to say hello.
It was the first time for him to see the appearance of the cubs so carefully, and it was also the first time that he knew that their cubs were still fluffy in their animal form.
He is like a newborn duckling, with thin and soft fur, black eyes, and bright red mouth, looking very cute.
Bai Wu felt his palms itch.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the cub on the ground pecked at the lower part of his robe with its tender red mouth, "Jijiu."
Depend on.
Why is this guy so cute?
Bai Wu looked at the cub on the ground, but didn't speak.
"Wu." Dada, who was teasing the cub, stood up, thinking that he was shy, so he changed the subject and said with a smile, "What do you want us to do?"
"I heard that you still have green roots in your house. I want to come over and exchange some."
"Why is your green root consumed so quickly? It was only last time that An An asked us to change the green root."
"I'm greedy, I always eat green roots, and I can't eat them anymore."
"Everyone has his or her own. It's not greedy. Come and sit down. Do you want some water? The water in our house is boiled now."
When Bai Wu woke up, he only drank boiled water. The people in the tribe saw that there were many new things in their house, so they followed suit. Now the whole tribe only drinks boiled water when they are in the nest.
Bai Wu waved her hand, "It's too cold, I don't want to drink water, I'm too lazy to go out to the bathroom."
"Hahahaha, me too, let's eat some stone fruit. What do you want to exchange for my green roots? Let me tell you first, I don't have many green roots, only twenty or thirty."
Bai Wu was a little disappointed, he didn't expect the number to be so small.
If such a little green root is washed into powder, there will be nothing left.
Bai Wu still smiled, "What do you want? Whether it's bird eggs, salad dressing, goat's milk, milk tofu, tell me, see if I can get it?"
"No, no, green root is not a good thing. If you have a lot of bird eggs, you can exchange some bird eggs with us. This little guy is hungry."
Hearing his sub-father mention it, the cub puffed out his small chest, and opened his mouth with a series of "chirp, chirp, chirp".
This series of cries was full of joy, Bai Wu, who doesn't like children, couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. He looked at Dada, "Can I touch it?"
"You'll have to ask the little guy."
Before Bai Wu could ask, the cub on the ground flapped its wings, jumped up, and jumped into his arms.
The little guy's fur is very soft, soft and smooth, fluffy and fluffy, and he will use his tender mouth to peck at Bai Wu's fingers.
Bai Wu hugged him, and lightly stretched out her hand to stroke his back.
Soft tentacles.
Much better than stroking cats!
The little guy rolled on his lap, showing his furry belly to him.
Bai Wu lived up to the little guy's trust, and stroked the little guy's belly with his hands.
There is a layer of soft flesh on the little guy's belly, which feels more like a cat to the touch.
If it wasn't for his father being here, Bai Wu would even want to smoke a little bit. He has only smoked cats before, so he doesn't know what it's like to suck birds.
"Jiu Jiu Jiu." The cub seemed to like being stroked on his belly, and when Bai Wu stopped, he pecked his fingers again, signaling him to continue.
"Oh my God, he's too obedient." Bai Wu showed a smirk on his face, and touched the little guy's belly again.
Dada saw Bai Wu amusing his son happily, and said with a smile: "He likes you, but he wasn't so good when he was by my side."
"Chirp!" the little guy protested.
Seeing him flapping his short wings, Bai Wu hurriedly flapped them a few more times.
When Bai Wu came to the tribe, he was not in a good mood, but when he returned, he was already smiling.
Chuan happened to be at home, and seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"Ok?"
"Look at the smile on your face, the mouth is almost grinning to the corner of your eyes."
"Here, today I touched Dada's son."
"Is his son learning to fly in animal form now?"
"That's right, when I went, he kept his animal shape, but looking at his short wings, he probably won't be able to fly in the near future hahahaha."
"Also, people, wasn't it the same when you were young?"
Bai Wu became curious, "What were we like when we were young? Were we also in the shape of a beast like Dada's son?"
"You have used it for a long time. Your brother was born not long ago, and he will soon be able to fly, and then he can freely switch between animal form and human form. You have maintained the animal form for two or three years. At that time, we thought you would not It changed into a human form, but I didn’t expect it to slowly change back.”
Bai Wu couldn't imagine that he was a stupid bird when he was a child.
He asked, "Are we hatched too? How long have we been inside the egg?"
"It didn't take long. Your brother broke the shell first, and the shell broke in seven months. You stayed in the egg for almost a year."
"so long?"
"This is the case with the bird and beast people. Some little guys stay in the egg for a long time, and some for a short time. You are not too long. I heard that the priest stayed in the egg for two years and three months."
"Hahahahaha, he's almost becoming a Nezha himself. The next time I see him, I'll ask him."
Chuan automatically skipped the topics he didn't understand, and looked at his back basket, "Why did you come back with so many green roots?"
"Doesn't Kishi like to eat green root powder? I'll wash some more out."
Bai Wu said a little depressed, "I've asked all the questions today, and no family in the tribe has many green roots."
Chuan patted him on the back.
Bai Wu continued: "Now there is snow everywhere outside, and we can't find the green roots under the snow. The green roots in our own vegetable garden have to be dug next year. I guess there will be no green roots to eat after eating this batch of green root powder. "
"Then eat it next year."
Bai Wu turned a pair of bright eyes to look around, and seeing that his father and brother were not there, he whispered to his father, "I seemed to be scared when I smashed the clay pot last time, and now he doesn't say that he wants to eat a sandwich."
"Among the family, is there anything to be scared about? It will be fine after a while, don't worry about it."
"That being said, I still want to make him a sandwich. Yafu, besides green root and noodles, are there any other foods that taste similar to green root?"
Chuan Wenyan thought about it carefully, "There must be no rhizomes. Even if there are outside, the snow is so thick now, and they must not be found. If you have to say it, the core of the longevity tree is a bit like the green root, and it is also crispy. , There is a faint sweet taste when biting."
Bai Wu's eyes lit up, "Where does it grow?"
"There is nothing in our tribe, you have to go to the place of the Eagle tribe to find it. They have a cloud mountain in their tribe, do you know?"
Bai Wu pursed her lips, "I've heard Nan Yao say it."
Chuan asked, "Master Priest?"
Bai Wu received his Yafu's sharp eyes, his scalp went numb, and he quickly corrected his slip of the tongue, "Yes, it's the priest. I can go to other tribes to collect and hunt. I asked the tribes what mountains And water, he told me once, and I remembered."
Chuan didn't pursue his slip of the tongue too much, "The eagle tribe has more food than us. They hardly eat the heart of the longevity tree. You should go to them to find it, and you should be able to find it."
"Then I'll ask the priest."
Bai Wu took the opportunity to take a bath with Nan Yao at night, and asked him what happened to the longevity tree.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking about this kind of tree?"
"My father said that the heart of this kind of tree can be eaten, but people of the eagle clan don't like to eat it, so let me ask by the way. Is it the same as green root?"
"It's the same, but this kind of tree is very big, and it takes two people to hug it. It's very troublesome to cut it down. Most people don't know how to cut this kind of tree."
Bai Wu thought for a while, "Can you take me to have a look?"
"If you are free, we can start tomorrow."
Bai Wu immediately nodded.
Nan Yao looked into his eyes, "Then come and find me early tomorrow."
The next day, Bai Wu specially carried a stone ax and charcoal on his back.
When he used to cut trees, he liked to cut a gap at the foot of the tree, and then put a pile of firewood to burn slowly.
As long as you don't cut down the beams, this is the fastest and most labor-saving way to cut down trees, because dozens of trees can be burned at the same time, and usually one tree can be burned down in half a day.
He also planned to use this method to cut down the longevity tree.
Unexpectedly, he had made all the preparations. When he arrived at the place of the Eagle Clan the next day, seeing a mountain full of green and beautiful trees, he suddenly felt a little bit hesitant to do so.
He opened his mouth, "This tree is too beautiful. If you cut them down, how thick is the edible core inside?"
Nan Yao supported a nearby tree with one hand, and stretched out his fist, "It won't be thicker than my fist."
"That's too wasteful. Except for the edible part, can the other parts only be used as firewood?"
"It's all cut in half and can only be used as firewood."
Bai Wu opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Such a tall tree does not know how many years it will grow.
Just to eat a little core inside, they cut down the tree, which is too destructive to resources.
Nan Yao waited for him to make a decision.
Bai Wu turned to look at him, and asked, "Looking at such a tall tree, isn't it in line with your ideals?"
He still remembers Nanyao's concept of sustainable development.
This is a priest who doesn't even let his prey be beaten.
"There are so many longevity trees here. No one will eat their hearts except you. You can chop them down if you want, it doesn't matter."
After a pause, Nan Yao went on to say, "Cut it off, we can continue to plant it. There are many long-lived trees nearby."
Bai Wu hesitated for a long time, "Let's forget it, I don't want to do it, I always feel that it's a bit cruel to harm such a big tree just to satisfy my desire."
He said forget it, but he felt a little depressed. He sat down on the tree root next to him, and said nothing to the small piece of sky above his head.
Nan Yao sat on the root of the tree with him.
After he was quiet for a while, Nan Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to cut down trees, I'll take you to find mushrooms nearby."
"There are still mushrooms in this season?"
"Every season. In this season, there are not only mushrooms, but also wild fruits. There is also a kind of edible grass growing deep in the forest, but the grass will freeze into pieces of oil jelly after being cooked, a bit like animal skin jelly. .”
"Skin jelly?" Bai Wu's ears caught something he was interested in, and he turned his head, his eyes lit up, "Is it something that is a little bit elastic and tasteless?"
"Hmm. I don't like it."
"I also have this kind of thing in my dreams. I usually put some fruit in it and make jelly to eat."
"If you want to eat, I will take you to find it later."
"Don't wait, let's go now."
Bai Wu patted her butt and stood up.
Nan Yao said to him, "The grass grows on the tree trunk, we have to walk up from here."
"Then go."
"I'll pull you up, there's too much snow here, it's too slippery."
Nan Yao stretched out his hand to pull Bai Wu's wrist.
Bai Wu misunderstood, thought she wanted to hold hands, and stuffed her palm into his big palm.
Nanyao is an orc, and his body temperature is higher, especially in this snowy weather.
Bai Wu looked at him in surprise, "Your hands are so warm, they even caught up with the small stove."
Nan Yao's other hand twitched, pulling his palm more firmly.
The two walked up the mountain step by step.
After walking for a while, Nan Yao found that kind of dark green grass on the trunk, and asked Bai Wu to pull the grass together.
This kind of grass is a bit like tree moss. It has almost no moisture, and a large piece can be pulled out when it is pulled.
Best of all, the roots of these grasses grip the bark tightly, and there is no sand.
Smell Baiwu, and you can smell the pure fragrance of green grass. You can imagine that when the grass is pulled back, it must be very convenient to wash.
Bai Wu likes everything that is convenient.
Bai Wu's depressed mood because of the lack of a tree core became high again, and he even hummed a song on the way back.
He no longer remembers the lyrics of the song in his previous life, but the melody is still firmly in his mind.
The bird orc has an unparalleled talent in music. When he hums, the melody is particularly melodious.
Listening to his extraordinarily flying melody, Nan Yao's mood also improved.
The two picked a lot of mushrooms, fruits, and tree moss to go back.
Nan Yao sent Bai Wu home directly.
At the time of parting, Nanyao said: "I seem to have seen the kind of wheat you mentioned in the orc tribe. Even if it's not wheat, it's something similar. Wait until I finish patrolling the territory and take you there."
Bai Wu didn't expect such a surprise, the expression on his face lit up, "Really?!"
"It should be true, but the road is very long. If you want to go, you have to be mentally prepared."
"I'm not afraid of distance!" Bai Wu's face was full of excitement, "If you can really find wheat, you can let me fly outside for three months."
"It doesn't take as long as three months, more than half a month is enough."
"That's sure to be fine."
The two stood there and looked at each other.
Normally, Bai Wu would say goodbye to him first, but today, he couldn't say goodbye.
Bai Wu had never thought Nan Yao was so cute, so he was reluctant to leave for a while.
Nan Yao didn't know what was going on, and didn't mention going back.
In the end, Bai Wu asked, "Why don't you have dinner at my house? I'll see if I can make jelly tonight."
"Not yet, I'll go back first."
"Then I'll bring it for you when I take a shower. See you later."
Nan Yao nodded, and then changed back into a beast shape, flapping her wings and flying towards the sky.
Bai Wu watched him go, looked back, and saw Kishi standing quietly in the distance.
Bai Wu was taken aback, "I have nothing to do with the priest, he just sent me back."
Kishi didn't ask anything, "Is it cold? We've already cooked dinner at home."
"It's neither cold nor cold. Why did you cook so early today? I picked some tree moss and came back. The priest said that you can use this to make tree moss jelly. I'll make jelly for you to eat at night."
Bai Wu had never realized that when he was nervous, he would talk so much, today's nonsense seemed to be overwhelming, word by word fell out of his mouth.
He straightened his back and walked into the kitchen, patted his chest, only to realize that his back was sweating in the cold weather.
Grass.
Bai Wu was simply unbelievable, he obviously hadn't done anything guilty, how could he be so frightened?
After thinking about it for a long time, it can only be attributed to his brother standing there silently, looking very scary, so he was frightened.
People are scary, scary to death!
"Why is this expression?" As soon as Kishi entered the kitchen, he saw Bai Wu looking at him resentfully, his head full of bewilderment, "What's wrong with you today? It's so strange."
"No."
"Then what are you going to do? I'll come and help."
"Where's my father?"
"I went to the hot spring with the people in the tribe."
After hearing these words, Bai Wu's heart almost jumped out of his mouth in fright, and his voice raised a level, "Take a hot spring?"
"Yeah, it's such a cold day, they said to go to the hot spring together, and asked me if I would go, I saw that you didn't come back, so they said that we would go together when you came back..."
Bai Wu interrupted his brother, "Where are you going to soak in the hot spring, should you go to the hot spring of Lord Priest?"
"How could it be? My lord priest doesn't like to be disturbed by others, even if you don't have a bath, it is impossible to go to his place."
"That's good!"
Bai Wu patted his chest again, with lingering fear on his face.
Kishi took a deep look at him, raised his head up, and motioned, "I'm sweating."
"what?"
Bai Wu subconsciously wiped her forehead, and wiped off the sweat.
Damn, sweating on the back can still say that the robe is too hot.
What happened to the forehead?
Bai Wu was quite speechless towards herself.
This broken mental quality is too bad.
An said: "Don't worry, no one dares to disturb the priest."
"Even if there is something, no one dares to ask."
"Eh?" Bai Wu's eyes widened, her tongue stiffened, "Brother, did you misunderstand something?"
Kishi looked at him and smiled, but didn't speak.
