Beast World Codex
Chapter 21: Poor Winter
The night at the end of autumn suddenly became cold and quiet, and the underground home was also cold. There were some warm lights shining through the openings of several houses, but only a few of the openings around the circle were lit up, less than half of them.Because of the decline in population, it is very clear that no one lives in the bridal chambers.
Dirty and decayed soil holes that have not been repaired for a long time.
With the well as the center, there are more houses in the south direction, and there are more lights, but in the north direction, there are few fire lights, just like fireflies in the dark, dotted around.Su Sushui's family lives in the north direction. There are not many people living here. Although it is a bit colder, it is also more peaceful.
"Ouch! My head...ah, my soup!" Suddenly there was a wail from a warm light.
Su Bao touched his head that was pierced by the falling clod from the top of his head. Before he had time to feel sorry for his head, he saw the small khaki-colored clod fall straight into the soup bowl in front of him.
The originally clear soup quickly became dirty, and everyone at the dinner table looked up at the same time.A crack appeared on the originally smooth and clean roof of the cave, and the mesh was split open.
Su Sushui got up and went to get another pottery bowl for Su Bao to fill a bowl of new soup, and quickly appease the frowning little male.
After that, several people lifted the dining table together, changed positions, and continued to eat.As for the incident during the meal, Su Meng soon had a countermeasure, because the whole clan lived underground and lived in the soil cave all the year round, and it was inevitable that the soil clods would fall off and the soil wall would crack.
So the clansmen thought of a corresponding method, smashing the hard soil into loose sand, mixing hemp roots and other plants with water to make a viscous liquid, and applying it on the place that needs repairing. After air drying, the soil wall will be intact the next day.
In recent years, there have been more and more vacant bridal houses. There is not enough manpower to repair them. Many bridal houses have collapsed. The clansmen have become accustomed to this, and no one cares about it. Just take good care of their one-acre three-point field , Sweeping the snow in front of the door.
"Is there any hemp root left? Let's put the clods in the empty room next door." Su Meng ate the tenderloin specially made for him, and asked Xiao Yazi who was drinking the soup.
Wiping his mouth, Su Sushui recalled the items in the utility room, "I remember there are, I will look for them later." "If not, you can come to my house to get them, I have them too." Su Suyi put down the bowls and chopsticks talking.
Su Meng recalled the unsettled events in the clan village, and vaguely felt that a storm was coming.Sighing secretly, he became more and more determined to leave this land of wolves and tigers.
Winter is coming soon.
Standing at the entrance of the tunnel leading to the back mountain, Su Sushui wrapped her whole body thickly, waiting for the male father who was about to go home.Every once in a while, Su Meng will go back to the village for a period of time, which is regarded as a rest, but also to report the safety of his family.
The winter of the Lizard Rat Clan is even colder. The people of the clan are all hoarding food, and it is easy not to go out in the burrows.There is not enough animal skins to keep out the cold, and no matter how much linen clothes are worn, it is useless, so keeping warm on the kang is the way for the tribe to survive the winter.
From time to time, I stick my head out, and I can't stand it in the harsh winter wind, and I quickly retract it, but I will continue to stick my head out next time.On the already white ground, anything with a little color would stand out, dragging a somewhat stiff long tail, Su Meng walked into Su Sushui's line of sight.
Because the body of the zodiac beast is covered with thick fur, it will not be frostbitten in the cold winter. Most male orcs like to turn into a beast in winter. Only the tail is covered with scales, which has little ability to keep out the cold.As soon as he entered the entrance of the tunnel, Su Meng shook the fur on his body, and Su Sushui also helped to sweep off the white snow from his body.
The father and son soon returned to their much warmer home.
The earth kang was burning hot, and there was a little lizard mouse coiled on it, its body curled up into a small fur ball, and it was soundly sleeping.Su Sushui plunged headlong into the fur ball, rubbed it hard a few times, then reluctantly withdrew her face, got up and took a linen cloth to wipe Xiongfu's body clean.
Su Meng also got on the earthen kang, coiled into a big fur ball in the same way.Su Sushui leaned against the two fur balls, and took the baked sweet potato that the female sister handed him with one hand.Peel off the crispy outer skin, and the golden flesh inside exudes a tempting aroma.
Take a bite, exhale white air, and enjoy the rare warmth in winter.
When it was almost time for dinner, the two males went back to the inner room and took human form, put on their clothes and came out again.When there are females, you should avoid suspicion or have to avoid suspicion.
A sufficient amount of sweet potato rice with a plate of bacon is simple, but it is also warm for four people to eat together.Looking at Xiongfu's calm face, Su Sushui asked without hope, "Father, you still haven't waited for that orc?"
Su Meng didn't look up, looked at the sweet potatoes in the bowl, and shook his head.From the very beginning, I knew that there was little hope, but as long as I had faith, I felt that hard work was not very difficult.
Su Sushui nodded clearly and didn't ask any more questions.Su Huang's small face looked disappointed, every time he heard Su Meng's "bad" news, he would feel lost for three seconds.
"Although he may not come in winter, spring will definitely come."
That's right, it will come eventually, Su Sushui agrees with Su Suyi's words, and the little flame in her heart is burning vigorously.
For that unnamed orc, he has an inexplicable feeling in his heart, although he is not very clear, but Su Sushui thought, it's okay to keep it like this.
For the Lizards and Rats, winter means staying at home.But for the people of the Daling tribe, everything in daily life has not changed much.
When the weather is cold, the females put on warm and well-fitting animal fur clothes early, and when the red sun rises, they go to the back mountain in twos and threes to pick winter fragrant fruits unique to winter.
The frequency of male hunting has decreased, but they still go out from time to time, focusing on digging dormant prey.
The crocodilians and rock lizards, which are particularly difficult to deal with in summer, are almost frozen into lumps of ice in the cold winter. As long as the hiding place is found, their mobility is greatly reduced, and they are almost powerless to resist.
This seemingly easy job of "picking up leaks" can actually only be done by powerful orcs, which also shows the strength of the Daling tribe.
Lin Shen, who slept under the seven-story quilt, became very quiet in winter, like a sleeping snake, while his other three children were still noisy.
Li Qin sat crookedly on Li Bo's bed, moaning and sighing, unable to attract his brother's attention.Only focusing on the spar in his hand, Li Bo, who was not satisfied after doing it many times, is still working hard.
Winter without Lin Shen is still so boring, Li Wei thought boredly, rolled around on the bed, turned around and saw Hu Fei standing at the door smiling.
"Hey." Twisted up and sat upright, patted the empty seat beside her, "Come in Fei Fei, I'm so bored, my brother ignores me, you can play with me."
"How old is he, I always want to have fun." Saying this, Hu Fei still walked over slowly and sat down.Before coming to Li Cong's house, he went to Lin Shen's house to observe Xia Fa's sleeping position, and got an unexpected message from Lin Shen's mother, Bai Ying, so he came here to share it.
Seeing that Li Bo didn't intend to call it a day, Hu Fei raised her voice and said, "I just went to Shenzi's house."
"To see Shenshen? He has been sleeping, why are you looking for him?" Li Ke didn't know what to say.
He took off his shoes and crossed his legs, "He has been sleeping, but he went to a place before going to bed." Hu Fei squinted at Li Bo's back, Li Bo finally stopped his hands and turned around. Turning around, he asked straightforwardly, "Just tell me, where did he go?"
"What's wrong with where?" The silly Li Ke didn't step on it.
"Stupid." In a very low voice, looking at him with hatred, Hu Fei asked back, "Shenzi will call us wherever he goes, have you forgotten?"
His eyes widened and his mouth widened, "Oh! I see. He's looking for a female, just like my brother?"
With her bare hands resting on her forehead, Hu Fei decided not to save Li Ke, "He went to the cliff."
"The cliff? He wants to go to the other side?" Li Bo had also been there several times with his father, but the other side of the cliff was not attractive to him at all.
Nodded, Hu Fei hadn't said anything yet, Li Wei cut it first, lay back on the bed, pouted his buttocks arrogantly, "Fei Fei, that's all you want to say. What's the matter, Shenshen will have to decide when the time comes will call us."
Hu Fei stretched out her hand and slapped his big butt hard, and there was a clear snap, "Just wait for him to call you." She exchanged a look with Li Bo, knowing each other, and then left directly.
Li Wei waited for him to leave, then bared his teeth and grinned, moaned and touched his poor butt, looked at his brother again, and went to ponder the spar in his hand again, not even giving him a look .This day, for Li Cong, was another day of infinite grievances.
Winter passed slowly while Lin Shen was sleeping soundly.
In the early spring, everything is full of vitality, there are still some unmelted snow and ice, and the river has not completely broken through the ice, but the spring is already very strong.
Still sleepy, still a little half asleep and half awake, which is Lin Shen's state in early spring.
Li Baiying took all the quilts that her cub had slept in for a whole winter to the yard to expose them to the sun, holding a quilt pole in her hand, making a loud noise.
Stretching and walking to the door of the house, looking at Ah Mo's busy back, Lin Shen gnawed on the winter xiangguo in his hand, took a bite, and let out a sound full of disgust.At this time, the sweetness of winter xiangguo is gone. Although it can still be eaten, it has a bitter taste.
Wiping the corner of his mouth with his thumb, he threw the bitten fruit into the trash can next to the dining table. The contents of the trash can finally belong to the hole dug by the liquid, which can be said to be very environmentally friendly.
Walk slowly to the stone bench in the courtyard and sit down, like a quilt, enjoying the baptism of the red sun.
Li Baiying approached, touched his face that seemed to have turned paler after covering it for a winter, and let him go into the house.Lin Shen only opened one eye, and said lazily, "I'll bask in the sun for a while."
"No, what should I do if I get tanned?" Seeing that Ah Mo frowned, Lin Shen didn't budge, "Ah, it's better to be dark."
Stretching out her hand and pinching it, it felt very good in the hand, and Baiying pawed it together with enjoyment, "My cub is so beautiful, only white ones look good, good boy, go in and eat some fruit."
"Well, okay." The face that was flattened by Grandma replied with a pout.
After being let go, he rushed back to the house very quickly.She winked and moved her eyebrows to make sure her face was fine before going to eat fruit.
He was very happy to eat here, but he didn't know that there was one thing that made the other three bad friends vent their breath, and he just waited to find out later.
Dirty and decayed soil holes that have not been repaired for a long time.
With the well as the center, there are more houses in the south direction, and there are more lights, but in the north direction, there are few fire lights, just like fireflies in the dark, dotted around.Su Sushui's family lives in the north direction.
