The family life of the wolf god in the snow mountain

"This... Orika, where did you know all this?"

The originally benevolent eyes of the priest's mother-in-law were rounded by shock. She looked at the animal skin in her hand, which recorded pictures of more than a dozen kinds of herbs and detailed medicinal properties.

You must know that although they can roughly distinguish which herbs are non-toxic and which are poisonous through mice, it is almost impossible to determine the medicinal properties of each herb in such detail.

Some of these herbs were shown to Orika by her yesterday morning, and some of them have not even been seen by herself. This child... how did he identify them.

The mother-in-law looked shocked, and asked Orika one question after another.

Orika yawned quietly while answering.

The medicinal properties of these animal skins were all written by her last night after staying up late.Because there were no candles and oil lamps, it was not safe to light a fire in the house. In the end, she relied on the light from the golden pattern on her big white forehead to finish writing overnight.

Bai·bulb·Xiaoxiao is enjoying the exclusive treatment of her Tutu, and she is quietly being held in Orika's arms. She looks very well-behaved, but in fact she is chatting nonsense with Orika.

【Wow, my mother-in-law's eyes have grown so big. 】

Seeing the excited expression on the priest's mother-in-law, Bai Xiaoxiao patted Orika's hand very curiously.

Orika licked the rabbit's ears calmly, and when her mother-in-law asked her again how she knew about these herbs, she replied very naturally:

"The Lord Wolf God told me all these things."

After hearing this, the priest mother-in-law looked at the animal skins and remained silent for a long time, her hands trembling a little.

"that is really good……"

The mother-in-law put away those animal skins carefully, then reached out and touched the top of Orika's head, sighing with a complicated expression.

"Oreka, you are a good boy, and you are blessed. White Wolf Village has really enjoyed too much fame with you."

After finishing speaking, the mother-in-law went to the window and knelt devoutly in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.

"Thanks to the noble gods, thank you for your forgiveness, may you protect the orcs again!"

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her ears, watched her mother-in-law's movements, and looked up at Orika.

【What's going on here? 】

Orika frowned slightly, it seemed that there was something she didn't know hidden in her mother-in-law's words.

Why is it called "forgiveness" from the gods?Did the wolf god condemn the orcs before?

[Grandma is thanking you, the herbs you told me can cure diseases and save lives. ]

【That's it...】

Bai Xiaoxiao stopped talking, and stayed peacefully in Orika's arms.

After the mother-in-law finished kneeling and worshiping, she stood up slowly, took two fruits from the table, handed one to Orika, and stuffed the other into Bai Xiaoxiao's arms.

The mother-in-law looked at the light blue and black under Orika's eyes and patted her on the shoulder distressedly, there was still a little water in the eye sockets.

"Oreka, you go home first today, I'm going to discuss some things with the village chief, you go home and have a good rest."

Orika nodded obediently, and left her mother-in-law's house with Bai Xiaoxiao in her arms.

Bai Xiaoxiao had just finished nibbling the fruit in her bosom, carelessly rubbed the juice stuck to her paws on the back of Orika's hand, and then "obediently" began to wash her face.

【Um?Why are you leaving? Are you not in class? 】

"It's a holiday today."

【Great!Then we...]

Orika stuffed her own fruit into Bai Xiaoxiao's mouth, and rubbed her soft belly with a funny face.

"I'm still an eight-year-old baby, not some big white rabbit who stays up late every day and sheds its fur. Today I'm going home to sleep."

Bai Xiaoxiao was gagged by the fruit, and could only wave her little paw in protest.

Don't mention it to her—!

[Oooh, ooh, ooh, boom! ] (Sleep when you sleep, kill me!)

"Give me back the fruit if you don't eat it."

Seeing that Orika was about to take the fruit, Bai Xiaoxiao grabbed the fruit with her backhand and did not let go.

[Brother oh enough oh oh oh! 】(Give it to me and it’s mine!)

Orika was amused by Dabai's foolish appearance, and was about to continue teasing her when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Little aunt!"

【Oh, it's this kid. 】

Bai Xiaoxiao tilted her head following the voice, and saw Bruce walking this way with seven or eight young people.

Orika greeted them, looked at Bruce and asked:

"Bru, why are you free today?"

"I just came back from the changing of the guard, so my little aunt just finished class?"

Blue and these youths are in charge of patrolling.Compared with a few decades ago, the guard post in Bailang Village has become more martial law, and the guards inside the village have been added.

Of course, most of the orcs still need to hunt to maintain the livelihood of the village, so the security work in the village is handed over to these young men who have just grown up.

Bruce knew that his little aunt had been learning all kinds of knowledge from the priest mother-in-law. Although he couldn't learn it himself, he admired those who learned it well, such as his grandfather Kuntu and mother Luna.

At first, everyone thought that the lively and mischievous Bruce would inherit Xiu's wolf form, but unexpectedly he turned into an elk when he became an adult.

"It's just right, you should learn more like your mother and grandfather. There are many educated people in our family, so that you don't have to go to the house every day and let me wipe your ass."

Xiu smiled unceremoniously, not saving face for his son at all.

"It's not that you don't like going to school yourself. Grandpa Yeka told me that you went to school to chase after my mother..."

Bruce, who was covered by Xiu, gritted his teeth unceremoniously at his father. In the end, the pair of father and son who exposed each other's old secrets were directly suppressed by Luna violently with their fists because they were too embarrassing.

However, it may be really affected by the awakening of the orc form, and Bruce's temper quickly calmed down after he became an adult.

Orika also asked Bai Xiaoxiao about this matter, and got an affirmative answer.

[Generally speaking, the awakening of the beastman form will indeed have a corresponding impact on humans, such as: eating habits, work and rest, personality, etc., but these effects are not necessarily good, and the degree of influence varies from person to person. 】

Orika poked Dabai's fat butt curiously, "I don't know if I will be an orc or an ordinary human."

The probability of giving birth to an orc has nothing to do with whether the parents are orcs, and the form of an orc does not seem to be an absolute inheritance.

At first Orika wanted to seek a scientific answer from the perspective of genetics, but Bai Xiaoxiao did not agree with her conjecture.According to her years of observation, Bai Xiaoxiao gave the explanation:

[There are some balls of light in the body of the orc. The light ball of a newborn little orc is just a round ball without shape.After contact with an orc or an animal, the light group will be affected and become the shape of that animal, that is, his future animal form. 】

Like the orcs living alone in the wild, their changing forms are mainly influenced by local animals, while those who have formed villages like Bailang Village are mainly influenced by their family members.

Bai Xiaoxiao stared at Orika's face for a long time, and then said a little strangely:

[There is a ball of light in your body, it should be an orc, but... it doesn't feel like a wolf. 】

Orika was picked up by Bai Xiaoxiao since she was a child, and her adoptive father is also a wolf-shaped orc. It stands to reason that she should also be in the form of a wolf, but her light cluster is different.

It looks smaller and cuter.

Orika chatted briefly with Bruce for a while, and knowing that he was going to report to the village chief's house, he took Dabai home.

When Bruce walked to the gate of the village chief's house, he found many people standing in the village chief's yard.

"Bru, you're here," Kuntu saw Bruce standing at the gate of the yard, and hurriedly beckoned him in. "I was about to send someone to find you."

"Is this something important?"

Bruce looked around and found that almost all the people in the village who could manage things were present.

"It is indeed a relatively important matter." Kuntu glanced at the stern-looking mother-in-law standing beside her, and cleared her throat. "I invite everyone to come today. I mainly want to discuss the construction of the statue."

"Idol?" The others looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they didn't know about it.

"Yes, let's talk about it, mother-in-law."

After being called, the priest's mother-in-law walked up to everyone and stood still. She took a breath and began to tell a story in a calm tone.

"Many years ago, a priest who could communicate with the gods appeared among the orcs. That priest served the gods wholeheartedly and was favored by the gods, which made the orc race stand out among thousands of creatures and was favored by the gods. .”

What she said was a legend that everyone present had heard when they were young. The others looked at her mother-in-law. Although it was strange for her mother-in-law to tell a story on such an occasion, no one interrupted.

"Then one day, the priest suddenly disappeared, and the gods were furious, and they no longer protected the orcs."

The mother-in-law looked at their puzzled expressions and sighed slowly.

"I know that many of you have doubts about the authenticity of this matter, but what I want to say is: Gods do exist."

"Now, the gods have forgiven the orcs, we must thank the gods for their gift, and we must not do anything blasphemous again."

"Therefore, I believe that a deity should be built, so that there is a way to convey our beliefs and prayers to the god."

"This..." The others looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, an orc stood up.

"Priest mother-in-law, it's not that we don't believe in you, but God or something, no one has ever been able to prove his existence."

Every child has heard the legend of the wolf god, but when they grow up, it is difficult to believe it.Legends are legends after all, and no one can verify their authenticity.

The mother-in-law interrupted him by hitting the ground with her cane.

"There were indeed gods in this continent a long time ago, but later, the gods left."

"The departure of the gods means abandonment. The world was abandoned by the gods and fell into disaster. The orcs had no hope of praying, so they gradually lost their faith."

"We are the people of the gods, and we have been waiting for the forgiveness of the gods. Now that the gods are willing to come back, I only hope that the lord will take care of us orcs again. How can we doubt the gods?"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and the mother-in-law stopped talking, so Kuntu had no choice but to stand up and continue to preside over the meeting.

To be honest, it is not easy for adults like them to believe in the existence of gods. Who has never prayed to the gods in difficult times, but the gods never respond.After a long time, they have long been used to struggling to move forward in suffering.

"Well, that...in fact, the situation has indeed improved a lot."

Gina attracted everyone's attention as soon as she opened her mouth. She wiped her nose and coughed lightly.

"I went back to the place where I lived a few days ago and guess what," Gina looked at the others and smiled, "The cracks are gone!"

The former residence of Bailang Village disappeared due to cracks in the ground, causing the river to seep down.Perennial drought and rampant plague forced them to leave there.

Although these years cannot be said to be smooth and smooth, they are not like the previous years of natural disasters.Therefore, although the orcs didn't really believe in that legend, no one questioned it again.

In the end, the matter of building the statue passed the vote easily.

First of all, it is not difficult for the orcs to build a statue.Secondly, if there is a god, it is better to follow the trend and believe in it.

The building of the statue was finally assigned to Bruce.

"Grandma, please wait a moment."

After everyone dispersed, Bruce went to the priest's mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, is there anything to pay attention to when building this statue?"

The mother-in-law thought about it for a while, and said, "As long as the statue can reflect the majesty of the gods, it is enough to build it too much like it will be disrespectful and offensive to the gods."

Bruce thought this was no problem, since he had never seen a god anyway.

Orika felt a little funny after learning about this from Bruce, after all, Dabai might prefer a barbecue meal to a hard statue.

"Bru, how are you going to build the statue?"

It was also the first time for Bruce to take on this kind of work, so he had no idea.

"I was thinking, how about making an ice sculpture, anyway, it's always cold here, and the ice sculpture can't melt at all. Sigh, but I haven't carved anything before, so I have to find some good carpenters to help me."

Orika suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said:

"If Bruce can trust me, how about letting me build the statue."

"This... can it work?"

Looking at the little aunt's small body, Bruce thought she was going to make a small statue, so he hurriedly said, "This is a statue of a god, it can't be too small, it should be placed on the square in the center of the village."

Orika nodded, "I know, don't worry, I can fix it for you tonight."

Seeing Orika so confident, Bruce readily agreed.Anyway, it's just for one night, the village chief gave him plenty of time, and there's still time to start work tomorrow, so I can't let my little aunt down.

tonight...

【Aooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"Are you going to play ice sculpture tonight, then I want to carve a big one! 】

Orika took Dabai to an open space at the back of the village, watched Dabai conjure a big ice cube out of thin air, found a clean wooden stake, sat aside and watched Dabai gnaw the ice cube with his wolf teeth, and suggested some things from time to time. suggestion.

【finished! 】

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the ice sculpture in front of her, and suddenly burst out laughing.

【Hahaha, so stupid, is this me? Why do you look like Erha! 】

Orika also showed a smile of unknown meaning. She looked up at the moon above her head, and she was already a little bit about to go down.

"Let's go, go home and sleep."

【Hoo hoo!Have fun today, let's play again tomorrow! 】

the next day……

Bai Xiaoxiao was yawning in Orika's arms as usual, but when she saw the ice sculpture in the middle of the village that was so familiar to wolves, her brain went into a shutdown state.

Bai Xiaoxiao: What's the situation!Ahhh——!A huge reward is offered for a crack in the ground that I can get into!Immediately now!

Maybe it was because the big white rabbit who froze for a while was so funny, Orika rubbed her head with a suppressed smile.

"Ahem, yesterday the village chief asked someone to carve a statue of the wolf god. I think it would be more divine if the wolf god carved it himself. What do you think hahaha—"

Bai Xiaoxiao: Ahhh——!You guys just burst out laughing, hey! (fried hair)

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Bai Xiaoxiao: Let me carve my god statue myself, isn't it a little bit outrageous!

Orika: Hmm (second tone), outrageous?

Bai Xiaoxiao: Cough cough, um, what I mean is... By doing this, you will not only stay away from the gangsters, but also rectify the bad style of putting on a show when facing the masses, which is called "outrageous"! (counseling)

Orika: Hmm (fourth tone).

Enriched the setting of the orc world, the light group in the orc body can only be seen by Bai Xiaoxiao, it is only used as a standard to distinguish between ordinary humans and orcs, there will be no upgrades such as evolution.

As an honest author, I would like to remind the cuties that there will be a little knife in the next chapter (maybe not counting it as a knife), although I don’t know if it’s too late to remind here (Salted fish collapsed.jpg), please don’t fight I.
