Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]
Chapter 48
A while ago, when she began to suspect that Jiao was interested in her, Lu You once felt very uncomfortable.
He is used to a regular and well-behaved life, and he doesn't like accidents, nor is he used to overly intense emotional conflicts.
In modern society, Lu Er lived a two-point and one-line life of "laboratory-home", keeping a polite and distant distance from everyone, and no one entered his personal space except the cat at home. .
Regular arrangements are repeated every year, and even which snow mountain to go to for skiing and hotels for travel and accommodation during the holidays are planned in advance, and actions are strictly followed.
Because she has never thought about falling in love, there is no room for another person in Lu You's plans for these years.
Being single for a long time, he felt comfortable living alone.
Not everyone can adapt to his living habits, and he didn't think about adapting to another person's rhythm of life in the past.
Lu Er also thinks it's good to be with the cats at home every day and live with these arrogant and clingy furries.
Although cats sometimes seem aloof, and some people say they are not familiar with them, Lu Er still likes them very much.
Stretch your feet on the soft and warm fur belly of the cats in winter, it is comfortable and comfortable.
After coming to this world, Lu You still continued his original habits. Even though he was always thinking about how to promote agriculture in this world, he kept a certain distance from the orcs and sub-beasts cautiously and distantly.
The only thing that can make him intimate and confidant is the kitten who has been picked up and raised for half a year.
Later, Xiao Mi got lost, and although Lu Er continued to live according to his own rules, he could not suppress his longing and loss in front of the dark tent for many nights.
After Jiao returned, he entered his life confidently and confidently, occupying a place within the safe distance of his psychological expectations for reasons that cannot be shirked.
Miraculously, Lu You didn't feel strongly repelled.
The arrival of Jiao gradually dilutes his longing for Xiao Mi. He touched the soft white fur of the big lion many times, and felt in a trance that he was stroking his kitten.
It was as if he had been with this tall orc for a long time, and he had easily accepted it into his life.
At that time, Lu Er didn't feel anything, but now that Jiao left, he suddenly felt a little deserted in the tent, and slowly felt a little... Lost in his heart.
At first, I had some insomnia when I went to bed at night, and I often woke up in the middle of the night for no reason, as if I had returned to the time when Xiaomi was away in the middle of the night.
Just like after losing Xiaomi at first, Lu Wei felt that a part of his life was missing, and when he was alone, he couldn't help but wonder where Jiao had gone now and whether he had found a suitable new home.
Lu You sometimes feels a little strange.
He actually has the same feeling for Jiao as he does for Mi, and sometimes even superimposes the image of the coquettish kitten with this powerful orc in a whimsical way.
Obviously, when the Xiaoshi tribe came to attack, it was the first time he and Jiao met, but in the process of getting along afterwards, they could feel an unspeakable tacit understanding from time to time.
Not only was the rhythm of life similar, sometimes he talked about some arguments that the orcs couldn't understand, and the horn was also the first one to understand.
——Is there really such a relationship as a soul confidant in the world?
A while ago, he was still worrying about how to solve the problem of Jiao's relationship with him, but now he couldn't help but began to miss the days when Jiao was still around.
Maybe I have been alone for too long, so I will inevitably feel a little bit reluctant to meet such an excellent roommate as Jiao, just get used to it for a while.
Lu You could only comfort herself in this way.
……
During the waiting process, the Redwood Tribe did not sit idle, and took the time to cultivate.
Because of the possibility of abandoning this piece of land, Lu Er reduced the scope of the new land to be reclaimed, and used the new land to grow soybeans, and continued to grow corn on the land that was already fertile.
The soybeans and corn planted this time are the fourth and fifth generations of descendants cultivated by Lingshui. According to Lu Yi's estimation, they can be harvested in about three months, just in time for the time when God's punishment is approaching.
At that time, whether or not God's Punishment will affect the current Redwood Tribe is almost a conclusion.
At the same time, the mass production of large and medium-sized trailers has also entered the right track.
According to Lu Er's request, Feng and Beaver Brothers worked overtime. In addition to the daily farm work, they dragged logs from outside every day to process them into planks, and then assembled them into trailers.
On the one hand, these trailers are reserved for future tribe relocation, and on the other hand, they are also used in current farming and planting.
Carrying water, soil and fertilizer is more efficient than carrying alone.
Of course, considering the current status of the Redwood Tribe, one car per family means that each family has only one labor force pulling the car, which is not conducive to rest in shifts.
Therefore, Lu Er designed a connecting buckle for the trailer. At that time, the cars of several companies can be linked together, and then several laborers will take turns pulling the carts.
The slight loss of Jiao's absence did not affect Lu Er's enthusiasm for agricultural development.He immersed himself in breeding peppers and sweet potatoes, producing finished products shortly after the first seeds were planted.
The sweet potatoes, which are not too big, are directly roasted in the bonfire of the stove with mud, without any additional cooking, peel off the roasted crispy skin, and the honey-yellow potato meat inside is exposed, with a hot and sweet taste. The fragrance came to my face.
Take a bite, the hot sweet potato meat has a soft and glutinous texture, covering Lu Yi's taste buds with a sweet taste.
In addition to roasting and eating directly, sweet potato and millet are mixed together to make steamed sweet potato and millet rice, which tastes sweet and fragrant; knead sweet potato into puree, make pancakes, and then fry and bake for a little bit, which is a crispy cookie.
After tasting the sweet potatoes, Lu Er was very satisfied and promoted the sweet potatoes in the tribe.
The conditions for growing sweet potatoes are more relaxed than that of corn, and the first batch of plants was not large, so they did not occupy arable land and were directly planted in each family's own small vegetable garden.
In fact, the leaves of sweet potatoes can also be eaten. After being picked and dried, they are fried with lard and then made into soup. The taste is also good.
Some older stems and leaves can also be used to feed pigs.
As soon as the new crops were introduced, they were warmly welcomed by the orcs.
Today's various agricultural products are mostly tasteless grains and salty fried vegetables, and there are really not many sweet foods.
Sweet potatoes can satisfy their hunger, but also are sweet and delicious. Orcs and sub-beasts who prefer sweet taste fall in love with it after one bite.
Especially Mang, who originally liked to eat sweets because of his animal shape, but sweet fruits and honey in the primitive era were not always available, and he often had to bite his own paws with saliva; after the sweet potatoes were planted this time, Lu You can often see Mang holding a piece of sweet potato in the corner eating happily.
During this period of time, Shou and his party have basically integrated into the Redwood Tribe, and they also opened up a small vegetable garden behind their tent in accordance with the tribe's instructions.
Many of them have limited mobility. They don't even think about going out to hunt, and they can barely do the job of planting vegetables and watering.
After receiving the newly cultivated sweet potato vines from Lu Er, Shou murmured in his heart, "Why does it feel different from before?"; when it was actually planted and dug out from the ground after serving for a period of time, it was only then that the current sweet potato vines were discovered. Very big.
After a taste, the taste and sweetness of the new sweet potatoes were several times better than the varieties they relied on for a living, leaving Shou Chi stunned.
During this period of time, Shou contributed a lot of tools they developed.
Tools such as fishhooks and throwing guns have improved the success rate of orcs in fishing and catching birds, allowing some orcs who are not good at hunting to rely on tools to maintain a stable source of food.
In the cold season, Lijiao did not relax the special training for the orcs in the tribe, but intensified it because of the attack of the Xiaoshi tribe.
The several modern special training experiences provided by Lu Er also made the orcs love and hate.
However, the results of the special training were obvious. Lu Er didn't notice it when he got along with the orcs day and night. Shi and Shou, the new orcs who joined, could clearly feel that the orcs of the Redwood tribe were out of tune with such a small tribe in terms of physique and momentum.
It looks like a strong orc trained in a big tribe like the Heihe tribe.
Shou is okay, he has always had a clear understanding of his thinness; in fact, he feels a little unconvinced-I think he can be regarded as a top-ranked orc in the Giant Fang tribe, and he has also fought against friendly tribes such as the Redwood tribe before, and the winning rate is very low. almost.
It doesn't make sense that now that I'm in the Redwood Tribe, I'm the one who's been hanged and beaten!
In order to catch up with the average level of the Redwood Tribe, they worked harder than ordinary orcs during the special training.
During Jiao's absence, it fell to Lie to oversee the maintenance of the orcs' special training.
Lie usually doesn't get angry, and the way he looks at people can make people feel a little scared, so the position of supervisor is perfect.
Lie, who was wearing an orange sweater, looked a lot warmer, and his temperament became a little softer, but he still didn't show any mercy in urging the orcs to train them.
……
In addition to stepping up preparations in the tribe, Lu Er is also studying the package of God's Punishment Wasteland he brought back.
After being initially shocked by the mysterious signs, Lu Er began to think: Can scientific methods be used to determine the characteristics of God's Punishment Wasteland?
Can the principle of "God's Punishment" transform normal soil into lifeless God's Punishment Wasteland be analyzed through this bag of soil?
Is the essence of God's punishment heavy metal pollution, microbial reproduction, or is it really the mysterious power of "God"?
Because he was worried that the soil clods of God's Punishment Wasteland would be "spreadable", after leaving the Heihe tribe, Lu Er once placed the firmly wrapped soil clods at a place some distance from each tribe to observe for half a day, and found that there was a layer of The land outside the parcel showed no signs of assimilation at all, so they brought it back to the Redwood Tribe with confidence.
After returning, Lu Er tried various experiments on the soil of God's Punishment Wasteland.
The first and most important thing is to determine whether the waste soil alone has the ability to assimilate the normal soil.
Put the clods of waste soil into clay pots, then shovel the normal soil into it and let it stand for observation.
As a result, after a few days, there was a clear distinction between the soil of the waste soil and the ordinary soil, and there was no sign of mutual conversion at all.
——This at least shows that the impact of "God's Punishment" on the soil is external and physical, and the waste soil itself is not contagious.
Afterwards, Lu Er soaked the waste soil into the soil extract, tested some plants, and found that the waste soil extract was exactly the same as ordinary clean water, and had no negative or obvious positive effects on the plants.
——Explain that the suddenly withered plants on the God's Punishment Wasteland did not die because of the change of the ground under their feet, but were directly killed by "God's Punishment".
After many attempts, Lu Er roughly summed up the characteristics of the God's Punishment Wasteland: except for the appearance and the texture of the soil are exactly the same, it does not have the properties that soil should have.
It seemed that there was only an empty shell left, and there was nothing inside.
Even if such "soil" is brought out alone, it cannot support any plants.
Of course, according to Lu You's guess, "God's Punishment" should be an external force that directly plunders all the vitality of the devoured land, including land, animals, and plants.The land that has been robbed of its vitality cannot be turned back into normal land, at least in the short term. Therefore, the place after the divine punishment has been ravaged is completely abandoned, which is more serious than land desertification, El Niño and other problems.
What concerned Lu You the most was the sudden vibration of the spirit water ring in his hand when he approached God's Punishment.
The spiritual water ring was the first unscientific item he saw after coming to this world, and it had never appeared in the original body's memory, so it was very likely that he brought it with him when he traveled.
Apart from creating spiritual water, this ring has always been very peaceful. It only responds when it is close to God's punishment, which makes Lu Er have to guess that the ring is related to God's punishment.
At first Lu Er thought that the spiritual water was the solution to God's punishment, but last time he secretly poured a little spiritual water on the God's punishment wasteland, and did not see any change in the soil.
This time Lu You directly took a full basin of spiritual water, took a small piece of waste soil and threw it in.
——Speaking of which, there is an advantage that Jiao is not around. Lu Er no longer has to worry about whether Jiao will find out when he takes the spiritual water.
After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
The soil of the wasteland is still a withered yellow color that has lost its vitality, and the spiritual water is still clear and transparent.
Lu You frowned and sat on the stool, flicking the ring on her finger lightly, looking at the water basin in front of her, lost in thought.
If the spirit water can solve the divine punishment, then they don't have to migrate the tribe, and they can even use the spirit water ring to transform the wasteland into fertile soil if they can protect themselves.
but now……
Spiritual water is useless to the wasteland, so why does the spiritual water ring react to God's punishment?
——Is it not the spiritual water produced by the ring that is useful for divine punishment, but the ring itself?
Pressing her chin, Lu Er carefully looked at this magical ring.
The ring itself does not have any patterns, it is dark and simple, it seems to be just a simple iron ring, the surface is smooth and unnatural, and there are no clues.
The most important thing is that this ring cannot be taken off his hand.
Lu Er tried to insert the hand with the ring into the soil of the wasteland, but nothing happened.
If the ring is not responding to the "effect" of these divine punishments in the wasteland, but to the "cause" of divine punishments, it will be a bit troublesome.
He didn't think he could walk on that terrible land.
But Lu Er is not so willing to cut off her own finger and use the ring to test it.
After repeated attempts, there were no results. In the end, Lu Er could only temporarily store the clods of the waste soil to see if there were any other discoveries in the future.
……
Teng went to the Giant Fang Tribe, and after returning, he chatted with Lu Er about the results of the interview with the leader of the Giant Fang Tribe.
"After the Jufang Tribe heard about God's punishment, they also planned to start preparing to migrate." Teng picked up the sweet potato that Lu Er brought, sniffed it lightly, and handed it to Mang who was beside him.
Mang loves sweets, and the sweet potatoes cultivated by Lu Er are very sweet. He sat on a chair holding a roasted sweet potato and said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" bred by Lu Er, he was very focused on eating a roasted sweet potato.
Lu You stroked Mang's hair, looked up at Teng: "Where are they going to move?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, I guess it will be decided as we go." Teng shook his head, and then laughed again, "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that we still have to grow food now, the Redwood Tribe would probably be the same."
The orcs don't have much demand for the location of the tribe, as long as they are adjacent to water sources and have plenty of food, they can set up tents no matter in valleys or plains.
On the contrary, agriculture has relatively high requirements on the quality of terrain and soil, so it is necessary to explore the corners.
Talking here, Lu You couldn't help but think of Jiao again, and couldn't help but get lost.
Teng noticed his child's distraction, took the hot water handed by Hong Yun, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Want to play?"
Lu You came back to his senses, took the water from the red cloud, thanked him, and then waved his hand in embarrassment: "No."
Teng thought he had seen through Lu You's shyness, so he laughed and comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen if Jiao is so strong."
After pausing for a while, Teng looked at Lu You's belly with concern again, and asked, "How is it? Can you give birth to cubs this year?"
"what?"
Lu You was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, coughed dryly and waved his hands, "No, what are you thinking, father?"
He and Jiao are not that kind of relationship.
Unexpectedly, Teng frowned, and his expression became a little worried: "Isn't she pregnant? Didn't I hear that you mate in tents during the day and night during the cold season?"
The word "mating" is too straightforward, and even Lu Wei couldn't take it anymore. There was a blush behind her ears, and she quickly took a sip of water to suppress her shock: "No, Jiao and I... are very innocent."
Teng looked at him with some disapproval, although it was embarrassing to say this as a father, but thinking that Lu You and Hong Yun were not so close, he said one more sentence: "Let Jiao work harder, it is safer to have cubs at your age. "
The medical conditions in the primitive period were extremely poor, which made childbirth a life-and-death difficulty.
Therefore, when the sub-beasts of Lu Er's age gave birth to cubs, the mortality rate was the lowest.
Sub-beasts are different from humans in physique, and there are relatively few problems such as childbirth dystocia, but compared with modern society, it is still close to death.
Of course, according to Lu You's understanding, a large part of this is due to the malnutrition of the sub-beasts.
With the development of agriculture and the diversity of food, vegetables, and livestock, presumably the health of sub-animals will be guaranteed in the future, and pregnancy and childbirth will not be as dangerous as before.
But what does that have to do with him being a bachelor?
Lu Er maintained his smile, thanked the old father for his care, and quickly found a reason to go back to his tent.
——It is impossible to give birth to cubs, even in this life.
……
After Jiao left the tribe for more than a month, Lu Er went to work in the small vegetable garden every day as usual, and the one who went to the stream to fetch water was a live worker. Suddenly, a huge figure jumped over from the stream and landed firmly in front of Lu Er. .
More than a month later, the fur of the big pure white lion is still so shiny, and the blue eyes of the lion are as domineering and arrogant as ever.
The majestic lion's aura lasted only a second, and it quickly turned into an orc. He strode forward and hugged Lu You into his arms.
After not being able to see his sub-beast for more than a month, he hurried back and finally came back. Facing his lingering partner, Jiao couldn't hold back his emotions.
Lu You felt the orc's tightened arms, the hot air exhaled by the ear, and the "green ear" full of longing, and subconsciously hugged Jiao's back with his backhand.
Feeling the tight muscles under the bare skin, Lu You suddenly felt that his hands seemed a little hot, and the joy on his face slowly dissipated.
If it was just speculation before, now Lu You can be sure that Jiao really has affection for him, and it is still the kind between orcs and sub-beasts.
What surprised him was that in his heart, apart from being entangled, helpless, and repelled, he was also vaguely relieved.
After hugging for a while, the blood in Jiao's heart was a little hot, and he suddenly realized that he was hugging Lu Wei so intimately that he had exceeded the limit of "cohabiting roommates". , it just so happens that you are a little excited."
Looking at the excitement and joy on Jiao's face that hadn't completely disappeared, Lu Er sighed slightly in his heart.
The direction in which Jiao left was not in line with the location of his small vegetable garden. It wasn't a coincidence that the lion came to him on purpose, right?
Without revealing the horn's trick, Lu Wei straightened his sweater that was crumpled by the horn, and pointed in the direction of the tribe: "Go back."
"By the way, this is for you to see."
Jiao suddenly remembered something, and his expression became a lot more excited. He took the bundle off his neck and handed it to Lu Wei.
Before leaving, Lu Er didn't pack a lot of things in the corner. The package was originally deflated, but now it's bulging, and it looks like it's full of something.
Lu You opened it and saw that there were tufts of pure white soft long hair inside.
Dazed for a moment, Lu Wei came to his senses, looked down at the animal skin skirt on Jiao, and found that Jiao's animal skin skirt had been replaced with short fur exclusive to the warm season.
——Are these Mao Mao replaced by the big lion?
Jiao was a little proud: "These furs can knit a woolen trousers for you."
Then there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he gently touched his head, "But I'm not very good at it, can you teach me?"
During the cold season, Lu You knit woolen trousers for himself by twisting ordinary animal hair into woolen yarn.
In Jiao's eyes, the pair of gray sweater trousers don't go well with the pure white sweater at all, it's better to knit another pair of his own fur for his sub-beast!
On the way out to find a new home this time, Jiao began to molt, so he carefully collected all the fur that he had replaced without falling off, and brought him back with full expectation, intending to knit a pair of wool pants for his Asian animal.
Imagining that the woolen pants that belong to his body are tightly wrapped around the beautiful legs of his sub-beast...
Jiao can't wait to knit woolen pants in one night.
Originally, he planned to give Lu Er a surprise, but after thinking about it for a long time, Jiao decided to ask Lu Er for advice under the pretext that he was "not good at knitting woolen trousers".
In this way, the whole process of weaving woolen pants can be glued to his sub-beast...
Today, Lu You has a clear understanding of this sweet-hearted orc in front of him, and he can see through the horn's "wolf ambition" at a glance.
Lu You glanced at him with a half-smile, and finally declined politely: "It's hot, I can't wear woolen pants."
Jiao was slightly disappointed, but still wanted to struggle: "It can be worn next winter season."
"Then let's talk about the cold season." Lu Er waved his hand, rewrapped the bag, and looked a little more serious, "Now the migration is the most important thing."
……
Jiao went out for more than a month, traveled all over the plains and valleys, explored many places not occupied by tribes, and kept them firmly in his head. After returning, he drew about three topographic maps on the ground: "These three This place is the most suitable place for me."
Lu You looked at the rough road map on the ground in surprise, and glanced up.
——This big lion has a good talent for mapping geographical locations!This already has the prototype of a map.
The listening corner roughly described the characteristics of the three locations, and Lu Er's favorite was the plain next to a large lake.
According to Jiao's description, the lake is a living lake with a river running through it, and there is a forest a little farther away. The vegetation on the plain is relatively dense, and the soil quality is obviously good.
To be honest, from Lu You's point of view, the land where the Redwood Tribe is now is actually of poor quality, and it is the most difficult type to adapt to farming civilization.
If they can migrate to the fertile soil rich in humus this time, the agricultural development of the Redwood Tribe may usher in a rapid leap period after the short-term pain.
For these new locations, it is obvious that Jiao has seriously considered the importance of farming during the investigation, and the natural conditions of the mountains and rivers are good.
Although Lu Wei hasn't visited it, judging from the surrounding water sources and vegetation described by Jiao, these locations are very suitable for the tribe to settle down and develop in the future.
The plain location near the lake is the one with the best conditions.
The only problem is that this location is also the closest to the Heihe Tribe in a straight line, which is where God's Punishment is located.
Lu You glanced at the corner with some worry, the meaning was self-evident.
Jiao understood Lu Wei's worry and explained: "According to previous experience, the slower the speed of divine punishment, the less land will be devoured; judging from the divine punishment we saw in the Heihe tribe, these three None of the locations will be affected."
"How long will it take us to go to this place?" Lu Er confirmed it.
Jiao thought for a moment, then lightly stroked his fingers twice on the ground, and replied: "According to the speed we go to the Heihe Tribe, it will take about 20 days."
When they went to the Heihe Tribe, they only had one car and several orcs escorted them. There were basically no problems on the road, and the speed was actually quite fast.
If the entire tribe were to relocate, the speed would definitely not be so fast. At least one to two months would have to be allocated on the road.
Lu You calculated the approximate time in his mind: It has been two months since the end of the cold season, and it is estimated that in one or two months, the grain they have in hand will be harvested.
By that time, it will be almost three months since they discovered the traces of God's Punishment in the Heihe Tribe. Whether the God's Punishment will affect the Redwood Tribe will definitely be revealed by then.
The top leaders of the several Redwood tribes discussed for a while, and finally made a decision: after the harvest of this crop of grain and confirmation of the location of God's Punishment, immediately move the tribe!
"Should the news of the migration be announced?" Lu Er asked.
Teng pressed his chin and pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Make preparations first, let everyone know a month in advance."
Temporarily hiding the news is not only to avoid causing panic in the tribe, but also to keep the news from being leaked—in case a hostile tribe like the Xiaoshi tribe learns about their specific migration time, it will be difficult for them with a lot of luggage to deal with Enemy attack.
……
Back home, Lu Wei cooked a delicious meal for Jiao. He specially steamed sweet potatoes and millet into rice.
The deliciousness of the food was second to none, mainly because it was cooked for him by his sub-beast.
After a good meal, he wiped his mouth contentedly, took the initiative to take the tableware outside to wash it, and looked at Lu You anxiously when he came back. He wanted to have sex with his sub-beast, but he couldn't find a reason, so he planned to repeat the old trick , thinking about finding some reason to change back to the animal form.
Before he could say "My back is itchy, can you scratch it for me", Lu Er suddenly heard a sentence: "Jiao, you are tired after driving all the way back, sleep on the bed tonight. "
——Sleep, sleep on the bed?
The huge surprise hit Jiao's head in an instant, causing him to stutter for a moment. He stood up abruptly and looked at Lu Wei in disbelief: "Really, really?"
Could it be that he was not in the tribe during this time, and his sub-beast missed him after being separated for a long time?
Fortunately, during the month he was outside, he was worried every day whether other orcs would take advantage of it!
Seeing the undisguised expectation and joy on Jiao's face, Lu Er sighed in his heart, and even felt a little strange: Jiao was so obvious, why didn't he notice it before?
He stood up from the bed, pointed to the wooden bed, "you sleep on the bed."
Pointing to the nest before the corner, "I sleep here."
Jiao's expression of surprise froze instantly, and subconsciously asked, "Why don't you sleep together?"
A while ago, Lu You was asked by his old father about the pregnancy. Hearing Jiao's words, his expression fluctuated for a moment, and then he returned to normal.
Jiao looked at the bed, and really wanted to slap himself who said this reason, but he still struggled unwillingly: "I can lean out."
Squeeze a little just enough to hug each other, isn't it great!
Lu You's attitude was very firm, and he tore off the animal skin that he used as a quilt, and put the horned blanket on the bed.
Jiao's aura suddenly weakened, and he sat down on the bed with a sleepy expression. After a while, he regained his energy and began to think about changing back into a beast shape to act coquettishly.
"Lu Er, my animal back is a little itchy, can you scratch it for me?"
Tickle a big white lion?
Lu You's heart was about to move for a moment, and the word "good" almost blurted out. Fortunately, she immediately woke up, met Jiao's earnest gaze, and guessed Jiao's thoughts.
Thinking not to let Jiao go down so deeply, Lu You slightly lowered her head, ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, and looked at Jiao seriously, ready to show her cards directly.
Before he could say anything, the impatient corner jumped out of the bed, turned into a huge lion, and put the white fur that had been washed in advance in front of Lu Er.
Lu You's words were blocked in his mouth, and he habitually reached out and stroked the mane of the big lion.
It is still the familiar soft and silky, intoxicating.
After Lu Er stroked the mane and back of the big lion in the lion's posture, he suddenly woke up: No, I can't stroke the horn like this anymore!
Maybe Jiaojiao was misunderstood by his skillful way of stroking his hair!
Lu You coldly pushed the lion away, but when he saw the eyes of the big lion half-closed because of his comfort, and the long tail flapping leisurely, his heart softened inexplicably.
——Forget it, Jiao just came back from hard work, and it seemed a bit cruel to reject him immediately.
——Pretending not to know for the time being, let's have a showdown with Jiao tomorrow.
……
The next day, Lu Er woke up in the arms of a big white-haired lion.
Last night, after finding a reason for himself, he picked up the lion with peace of mind. After playing with the big lion, he fell asleep in the corner's nest directly after being tired.
And the big lion didn't change back to the human form and lie back on the wooden bed, but wrapped his body around him and slept on the ground together.
Lu You sat up, looking at the lion's snow-white mane lying quietly, listening to his steady and long breathing, her head was still a little confused just after waking up.
Last night he slept until dawn, and slept very peacefully throughout the night.
Haven't slept so comfortably in a long time.
In the past, he only slept with the cats he had raised. He never thought that he could sleep very soundly in the same bed with another person.
The morning sunlight poured in through the gaps in the tent, and fell on the sleeping lion's silver-white hair, coating the soft hair tips with a layer of golden light, and even made them somewhat transparent.
This scene was a bit too beautiful, Lu You couldn't help but leaned forward, reached out and stroked it gently.
Xu Shi was woken up by Lu Er, the big lion suddenly opened his eyes, the eyes of the beast quickly changed from dazed to clear, and in the blink of an eye, he turned back to an orc, sat up and looked at Lu Er who was close in front of him: "Are you awake? "
Lu You's outstretched hand just rested on Jiao's shoulder, and the posture of Jiao turning back into a human form still hugged Lu You in his arms.
The two were so close that the handsome orc could count his eyelashes.
Lu Er suddenly realized a fact that was a bit scary to him.
——In such an intimate posture, he was no longer as full of repulsion as before.
He is used to a regular and well-behaved life, and he doesn't like accidents, nor is he used to overly intense emotional conflicts.
In modern society, Lu Er lived a two-point and one-line life of "laboratory-home", keeping a polite and distant distance from everyone, and no one entered his personal space except the cat at home. .
Regular arrangements are repeated every year, and even which snow mountain to go to for skiing and hotels for travel and accommodation during the holidays are planned in advance, and actions are strictly followed.
Because she has never thought about falling in love, there is no room for another person in Lu You's plans for these years.
Being single for a long time, he felt comfortable living alone.
Not everyone can adapt to his living habits, and he didn't think about adapting to another person's rhythm of life in the past.
Lu Er also thinks it's good to be with the cats at home every day and live with these arrogant and clingy furries.
Although cats sometimes seem aloof, and some people say they are not familiar with them, Lu Er still likes them very much.
Stretch your feet on the soft and warm fur belly of the cats in winter, it is comfortable and comfortable.
After coming to this world, Lu You still continued his original habits. Even though he was always thinking about how to promote agriculture in this world, he kept a certain distance from the orcs and sub-beasts cautiously and distantly.
The only thing that can make him intimate and confidant is the kitten who has been picked up and raised for half a year.
Later, Xiao Mi got lost, and although Lu Er continued to live according to his own rules, he could not suppress his longing and loss in front of the dark tent for many nights.
After Jiao returned, he entered his life confidently and confidently, occupying a place within the safe distance of his psychological expectations for reasons that cannot be shirked.
Miraculously, Lu You didn't feel strongly repelled.
The arrival of Jiao gradually dilutes his longing for Xiao Mi. He touched the soft white fur of the big lion many times, and felt in a trance that he was stroking his kitten.
It was as if he had been with this tall orc for a long time, and he had easily accepted it into his life.
At that time, Lu Er didn't feel anything, but now that Jiao left, he suddenly felt a little deserted in the tent, and slowly felt a little... Lost in his heart.
At first, I had some insomnia when I went to bed at night, and I often woke up in the middle of the night for no reason, as if I had returned to the time when Xiaomi was away in the middle of the night.
Just like after losing Xiaomi at first, Lu Wei felt that a part of his life was missing, and when he was alone, he couldn't help but wonder where Jiao had gone now and whether he had found a suitable new home.
Lu You sometimes feels a little strange.
He actually has the same feeling for Jiao as he does for Mi, and sometimes even superimposes the image of the coquettish kitten with this powerful orc in a whimsical way.
Obviously, when the Xiaoshi tribe came to attack, it was the first time he and Jiao met, but in the process of getting along afterwards, they could feel an unspeakable tacit understanding from time to time.
Not only was the rhythm of life similar, sometimes he talked about some arguments that the orcs couldn't understand, and the horn was also the first one to understand.
——Is there really such a relationship as a soul confidant in the world?
A while ago, he was still worrying about how to solve the problem of Jiao's relationship with him, but now he couldn't help but began to miss the days when Jiao was still around.
Maybe I have been alone for too long, so I will inevitably feel a little bit reluctant to meet such an excellent roommate as Jiao, just get used to it for a while.
Lu You could only comfort herself in this way.
……
During the waiting process, the Redwood Tribe did not sit idle, and took the time to cultivate.
Because of the possibility of abandoning this piece of land, Lu Er reduced the scope of the new land to be reclaimed, and used the new land to grow soybeans, and continued to grow corn on the land that was already fertile.
The soybeans and corn planted this time are the fourth and fifth generations of descendants cultivated by Lingshui. According to Lu Yi's estimation, they can be harvested in about three months, just in time for the time when God's punishment is approaching.
At that time, whether or not God's Punishment will affect the current Redwood Tribe is almost a conclusion.
At the same time, the mass production of large and medium-sized trailers has also entered the right track.
According to Lu Er's request, Feng and Beaver Brothers worked overtime. In addition to the daily farm work, they dragged logs from outside every day to process them into planks, and then assembled them into trailers.
On the one hand, these trailers are reserved for future tribe relocation, and on the other hand, they are also used in current farming and planting.
Carrying water, soil and fertilizer is more efficient than carrying alone.
Of course, considering the current status of the Redwood Tribe, one car per family means that each family has only one labor force pulling the car, which is not conducive to rest in shifts.
Therefore, Lu Er designed a connecting buckle for the trailer. At that time, the cars of several companies can be linked together, and then several laborers will take turns pulling the carts.
The slight loss of Jiao's absence did not affect Lu Er's enthusiasm for agricultural development.He immersed himself in breeding peppers and sweet potatoes, producing finished products shortly after the first seeds were planted.
The sweet potatoes, which are not too big, are directly roasted in the bonfire of the stove with mud, without any additional cooking, peel off the roasted crispy skin, and the honey-yellow potato meat inside is exposed, with a hot and sweet taste. The fragrance came to my face.
Take a bite, the hot sweet potato meat has a soft and glutinous texture, covering Lu Yi's taste buds with a sweet taste.
In addition to roasting and eating directly, sweet potato and millet are mixed together to make steamed sweet potato and millet rice, which tastes sweet and fragrant; knead sweet potato into puree, make pancakes, and then fry and bake for a little bit, which is a crispy cookie.
After tasting the sweet potatoes, Lu Er was very satisfied and promoted the sweet potatoes in the tribe.
The conditions for growing sweet potatoes are more relaxed than that of corn, and the first batch of plants was not large, so they did not occupy arable land and were directly planted in each family's own small vegetable garden.
In fact, the leaves of sweet potatoes can also be eaten. After being picked and dried, they are fried with lard and then made into soup. The taste is also good.
Some older stems and leaves can also be used to feed pigs.
As soon as the new crops were introduced, they were warmly welcomed by the orcs.
Today's various agricultural products are mostly tasteless grains and salty fried vegetables, and there are really not many sweet foods.
Sweet potatoes can satisfy their hunger, but also are sweet and delicious. Orcs and sub-beasts who prefer sweet taste fall in love with it after one bite.
Especially Mang, who originally liked to eat sweets because of his animal shape, but sweet fruits and honey in the primitive era were not always available, and he often had to bite his own paws with saliva; after the sweet potatoes were planted this time, Lu You can often see Mang holding a piece of sweet potato in the corner eating happily.
During this period of time, Shou and his party have basically integrated into the Redwood Tribe, and they also opened up a small vegetable garden behind their tent in accordance with the tribe's instructions.
Many of them have limited mobility. They don't even think about going out to hunt, and they can barely do the job of planting vegetables and watering.
After receiving the newly cultivated sweet potato vines from Lu Er, Shou murmured in his heart, "Why does it feel different from before?"; when it was actually planted and dug out from the ground after serving for a period of time, it was only then that the current sweet potato vines were discovered. Very big.
After a taste, the taste and sweetness of the new sweet potatoes were several times better than the varieties they relied on for a living, leaving Shou Chi stunned.
During this period of time, Shou contributed a lot of tools they developed.
Tools such as fishhooks and throwing guns have improved the success rate of orcs in fishing and catching birds, allowing some orcs who are not good at hunting to rely on tools to maintain a stable source of food.
In the cold season, Lijiao did not relax the special training for the orcs in the tribe, but intensified it because of the attack of the Xiaoshi tribe.
The several modern special training experiences provided by Lu Er also made the orcs love and hate.
However, the results of the special training were obvious. Lu Er didn't notice it when he got along with the orcs day and night. Shi and Shou, the new orcs who joined, could clearly feel that the orcs of the Redwood tribe were out of tune with such a small tribe in terms of physique and momentum.
It looks like a strong orc trained in a big tribe like the Heihe tribe.
Shou is okay, he has always had a clear understanding of his thinness; in fact, he feels a little unconvinced-I think he can be regarded as a top-ranked orc in the Giant Fang tribe, and he has also fought against friendly tribes such as the Redwood tribe before, and the winning rate is very low. almost.
It doesn't make sense that now that I'm in the Redwood Tribe, I'm the one who's been hanged and beaten!
In order to catch up with the average level of the Redwood Tribe, they worked harder than ordinary orcs during the special training.
During Jiao's absence, it fell to Lie to oversee the maintenance of the orcs' special training.
Lie usually doesn't get angry, and the way he looks at people can make people feel a little scared, so the position of supervisor is perfect.
Lie, who was wearing an orange sweater, looked a lot warmer, and his temperament became a little softer, but he still didn't show any mercy in urging the orcs to train them.
……
In addition to stepping up preparations in the tribe, Lu Er is also studying the package of God's Punishment Wasteland he brought back.
After being initially shocked by the mysterious signs, Lu Er began to think: Can scientific methods be used to determine the characteristics of God's Punishment Wasteland?
Can the principle of "God's Punishment" transform normal soil into lifeless God's Punishment Wasteland be analyzed through this bag of soil?
Is the essence of God's punishment heavy metal pollution, microbial reproduction, or is it really the mysterious power of "God"?
Because he was worried that the soil clods of God's Punishment Wasteland would be "spreadable", after leaving the Heihe tribe, Lu Er once placed the firmly wrapped soil clods at a place some distance from each tribe to observe for half a day, and found that there was a layer of The land outside the parcel showed no signs of assimilation at all, so they brought it back to the Redwood Tribe with confidence.
After returning, Lu Er tried various experiments on the soil of God's Punishment Wasteland.
The first and most important thing is to determine whether the waste soil alone has the ability to assimilate the normal soil.
Put the clods of waste soil into clay pots, then shovel the normal soil into it and let it stand for observation.
As a result, after a few days, there was a clear distinction between the soil of the waste soil and the ordinary soil, and there was no sign of mutual conversion at all.
——This at least shows that the impact of "God's Punishment" on the soil is external and physical, and the waste soil itself is not contagious.
Afterwards, Lu Er soaked the waste soil into the soil extract, tested some plants, and found that the waste soil extract was exactly the same as ordinary clean water, and had no negative or obvious positive effects on the plants.
——Explain that the suddenly withered plants on the God's Punishment Wasteland did not die because of the change of the ground under their feet, but were directly killed by "God's Punishment".
After many attempts, Lu Er roughly summed up the characteristics of the God's Punishment Wasteland: except for the appearance and the texture of the soil are exactly the same, it does not have the properties that soil should have.
It seemed that there was only an empty shell left, and there was nothing inside.
Even if such "soil" is brought out alone, it cannot support any plants.
Of course, according to Lu You's guess, "God's Punishment" should be an external force that directly plunders all the vitality of the devoured land, including land, animals, and plants.The land that has been robbed of its vitality cannot be turned back into normal land, at least in the short term. Therefore, the place after the divine punishment has been ravaged is completely abandoned, which is more serious than land desertification, El Niño and other problems.
What concerned Lu You the most was the sudden vibration of the spirit water ring in his hand when he approached God's Punishment.
The spiritual water ring was the first unscientific item he saw after coming to this world, and it had never appeared in the original body's memory, so it was very likely that he brought it with him when he traveled.
Apart from creating spiritual water, this ring has always been very peaceful. It only responds when it is close to God's punishment, which makes Lu Er have to guess that the ring is related to God's punishment.
At first Lu Er thought that the spiritual water was the solution to God's punishment, but last time he secretly poured a little spiritual water on the God's punishment wasteland, and did not see any change in the soil.
This time Lu You directly took a full basin of spiritual water, took a small piece of waste soil and threw it in.
——Speaking of which, there is an advantage that Jiao is not around. Lu Er no longer has to worry about whether Jiao will find out when he takes the spiritual water.
After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
The soil of the wasteland is still a withered yellow color that has lost its vitality, and the spiritual water is still clear and transparent.
Lu You frowned and sat on the stool, flicking the ring on her finger lightly, looking at the water basin in front of her, lost in thought.
If the spirit water can solve the divine punishment, then they don't have to migrate the tribe, and they can even use the spirit water ring to transform the wasteland into fertile soil if they can protect themselves.
but now……
Spiritual water is useless to the wasteland, so why does the spiritual water ring react to God's punishment?
——Is it not the spiritual water produced by the ring that is useful for divine punishment, but the ring itself?
Pressing her chin, Lu Er carefully looked at this magical ring.
The ring itself does not have any patterns, it is dark and simple, it seems to be just a simple iron ring, the surface is smooth and unnatural, and there are no clues.
The most important thing is that this ring cannot be taken off his hand.
Lu Er tried to insert the hand with the ring into the soil of the wasteland, but nothing happened.
If the ring is not responding to the "effect" of these divine punishments in the wasteland, but to the "cause" of divine punishments, it will be a bit troublesome.
He didn't think he could walk on that terrible land.
But Lu Er is not so willing to cut off her own finger and use the ring to test it.
After repeated attempts, there were no results. In the end, Lu Er could only temporarily store the clods of the waste soil to see if there were any other discoveries in the future.
……
Teng went to the Giant Fang Tribe, and after returning, he chatted with Lu Er about the results of the interview with the leader of the Giant Fang Tribe.
"After the Jufang Tribe heard about God's punishment, they also planned to start preparing to migrate." Teng picked up the sweet potato that Lu Er brought, sniffed it lightly, and handed it to Mang who was beside him.
Mang loves sweets, and the sweet potatoes cultivated by Lu Er are very sweet. He sat on a chair holding a roasted sweet potato and said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" bred by Lu Er, he was very focused on eating a roasted sweet potato.
Lu You stroked Mang's hair, looked up at Teng: "Where are they going to move?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, I guess it will be decided as we go." Teng shook his head, and then laughed again, "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that we still have to grow food now, the Redwood Tribe would probably be the same."
The orcs don't have much demand for the location of the tribe, as long as they are adjacent to water sources and have plenty of food, they can set up tents no matter in valleys or plains.
On the contrary, agriculture has relatively high requirements on the quality of terrain and soil, so it is necessary to explore the corners.
Talking here, Lu You couldn't help but think of Jiao again, and couldn't help but get lost.
Teng noticed his child's distraction, took the hot water handed by Hong Yun, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Want to play?"
Lu You came back to his senses, took the water from the red cloud, thanked him, and then waved his hand in embarrassment: "No."
Teng thought he had seen through Lu You's shyness, so he laughed and comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen if Jiao is so strong."
After pausing for a while, Teng looked at Lu You's belly with concern again, and asked, "How is it? Can you give birth to cubs this year?"
"what?"
Lu You was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, coughed dryly and waved his hands, "No, what are you thinking, father?"
He and Jiao are not that kind of relationship.
Unexpectedly, Teng frowned, and his expression became a little worried: "Isn't she pregnant? Didn't I hear that you mate in tents during the day and night during the cold season?"
The word "mating" is too straightforward, and even Lu Wei couldn't take it anymore. There was a blush behind her ears, and she quickly took a sip of water to suppress her shock: "No, Jiao and I... are very innocent."
Teng looked at him with some disapproval, although it was embarrassing to say this as a father, but thinking that Lu You and Hong Yun were not so close, he said one more sentence: "Let Jiao work harder, it is safer to have cubs at your age. "
The medical conditions in the primitive period were extremely poor, which made childbirth a life-and-death difficulty.
Therefore, when the sub-beasts of Lu Er's age gave birth to cubs, the mortality rate was the lowest.
Sub-beasts are different from humans in physique, and there are relatively few problems such as childbirth dystocia, but compared with modern society, it is still close to death.
Of course, according to Lu You's understanding, a large part of this is due to the malnutrition of the sub-beasts.
With the development of agriculture and the diversity of food, vegetables, and livestock, presumably the health of sub-animals will be guaranteed in the future, and pregnancy and childbirth will not be as dangerous as before.
But what does that have to do with him being a bachelor?
Lu Er maintained his smile, thanked the old father for his care, and quickly found a reason to go back to his tent.
——It is impossible to give birth to cubs, even in this life.
……
After Jiao left the tribe for more than a month, Lu Er went to work in the small vegetable garden every day as usual, and the one who went to the stream to fetch water was a live worker. Suddenly, a huge figure jumped over from the stream and landed firmly in front of Lu Er. .
More than a month later, the fur of the big pure white lion is still so shiny, and the blue eyes of the lion are as domineering and arrogant as ever.
The majestic lion's aura lasted only a second, and it quickly turned into an orc. He strode forward and hugged Lu You into his arms.
After not being able to see his sub-beast for more than a month, he hurried back and finally came back. Facing his lingering partner, Jiao couldn't hold back his emotions.
Lu You felt the orc's tightened arms, the hot air exhaled by the ear, and the "green ear" full of longing, and subconsciously hugged Jiao's back with his backhand.
Feeling the tight muscles under the bare skin, Lu You suddenly felt that his hands seemed a little hot, and the joy on his face slowly dissipated.
If it was just speculation before, now Lu You can be sure that Jiao really has affection for him, and it is still the kind between orcs and sub-beasts.
What surprised him was that in his heart, apart from being entangled, helpless, and repelled, he was also vaguely relieved.
After hugging for a while, the blood in Jiao's heart was a little hot, and he suddenly realized that he was hugging Lu Wei so intimately that he had exceeded the limit of "cohabiting roommates". , it just so happens that you are a little excited."
Looking at the excitement and joy on Jiao's face that hadn't completely disappeared, Lu Er sighed slightly in his heart.
The direction in which Jiao left was not in line with the location of his small vegetable garden. It wasn't a coincidence that the lion came to him on purpose, right?
Without revealing the horn's trick, Lu Wei straightened his sweater that was crumpled by the horn, and pointed in the direction of the tribe: "Go back."
"By the way, this is for you to see."
Jiao suddenly remembered something, and his expression became a lot more excited. He took the bundle off his neck and handed it to Lu Wei.
Before leaving, Lu Er didn't pack a lot of things in the corner. The package was originally deflated, but now it's bulging, and it looks like it's full of something.
Lu You opened it and saw that there were tufts of pure white soft long hair inside.
Dazed for a moment, Lu Wei came to his senses, looked down at the animal skin skirt on Jiao, and found that Jiao's animal skin skirt had been replaced with short fur exclusive to the warm season.
——Are these Mao Mao replaced by the big lion?
Jiao was a little proud: "These furs can knit a woolen trousers for you."
Then there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he gently touched his head, "But I'm not very good at it, can you teach me?"
During the cold season, Lu You knit woolen trousers for himself by twisting ordinary animal hair into woolen yarn.
In Jiao's eyes, the pair of gray sweater trousers don't go well with the pure white sweater at all, it's better to knit another pair of his own fur for his sub-beast!
On the way out to find a new home this time, Jiao began to molt, so he carefully collected all the fur that he had replaced without falling off, and brought him back with full expectation, intending to knit a pair of wool pants for his Asian animal.
Imagining that the woolen pants that belong to his body are tightly wrapped around the beautiful legs of his sub-beast...
Jiao can't wait to knit woolen pants in one night.
Originally, he planned to give Lu Er a surprise, but after thinking about it for a long time, Jiao decided to ask Lu Er for advice under the pretext that he was "not good at knitting woolen trousers".
In this way, the whole process of weaving woolen pants can be glued to his sub-beast...
Today, Lu You has a clear understanding of this sweet-hearted orc in front of him, and he can see through the horn's "wolf ambition" at a glance.
Lu You glanced at him with a half-smile, and finally declined politely: "It's hot, I can't wear woolen pants."
Jiao was slightly disappointed, but still wanted to struggle: "It can be worn next winter season."
"Then let's talk about the cold season." Lu Er waved his hand, rewrapped the bag, and looked a little more serious, "Now the migration is the most important thing."
……
Jiao went out for more than a month, traveled all over the plains and valleys, explored many places not occupied by tribes, and kept them firmly in his head. After returning, he drew about three topographic maps on the ground: "These three This place is the most suitable place for me."
Lu You looked at the rough road map on the ground in surprise, and glanced up.
——This big lion has a good talent for mapping geographical locations!This already has the prototype of a map.
The listening corner roughly described the characteristics of the three locations, and Lu Er's favorite was the plain next to a large lake.
According to Jiao's description, the lake is a living lake with a river running through it, and there is a forest a little farther away. The vegetation on the plain is relatively dense, and the soil quality is obviously good.
To be honest, from Lu You's point of view, the land where the Redwood Tribe is now is actually of poor quality, and it is the most difficult type to adapt to farming civilization.
If they can migrate to the fertile soil rich in humus this time, the agricultural development of the Redwood Tribe may usher in a rapid leap period after the short-term pain.
For these new locations, it is obvious that Jiao has seriously considered the importance of farming during the investigation, and the natural conditions of the mountains and rivers are good.
Although Lu Wei hasn't visited it, judging from the surrounding water sources and vegetation described by Jiao, these locations are very suitable for the tribe to settle down and develop in the future.
The plain location near the lake is the one with the best conditions.
The only problem is that this location is also the closest to the Heihe Tribe in a straight line, which is where God's Punishment is located.
Lu You glanced at the corner with some worry, the meaning was self-evident.
Jiao understood Lu Wei's worry and explained: "According to previous experience, the slower the speed of divine punishment, the less land will be devoured; judging from the divine punishment we saw in the Heihe tribe, these three None of the locations will be affected."
"How long will it take us to go to this place?" Lu Er confirmed it.
Jiao thought for a moment, then lightly stroked his fingers twice on the ground, and replied: "According to the speed we go to the Heihe Tribe, it will take about 20 days."
When they went to the Heihe Tribe, they only had one car and several orcs escorted them. There were basically no problems on the road, and the speed was actually quite fast.
If the entire tribe were to relocate, the speed would definitely not be so fast. At least one to two months would have to be allocated on the road.
Lu You calculated the approximate time in his mind: It has been two months since the end of the cold season, and it is estimated that in one or two months, the grain they have in hand will be harvested.
By that time, it will be almost three months since they discovered the traces of God's Punishment in the Heihe Tribe. Whether the God's Punishment will affect the Redwood Tribe will definitely be revealed by then.
The top leaders of the several Redwood tribes discussed for a while, and finally made a decision: after the harvest of this crop of grain and confirmation of the location of God's Punishment, immediately move the tribe!
"Should the news of the migration be announced?" Lu Er asked.
Teng pressed his chin and pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Make preparations first, let everyone know a month in advance."
Temporarily hiding the news is not only to avoid causing panic in the tribe, but also to keep the news from being leaked—in case a hostile tribe like the Xiaoshi tribe learns about their specific migration time, it will be difficult for them with a lot of luggage to deal with Enemy attack.
……
Back home, Lu Wei cooked a delicious meal for Jiao. He specially steamed sweet potatoes and millet into rice.
The deliciousness of the food was second to none, mainly because it was cooked for him by his sub-beast.
After a good meal, he wiped his mouth contentedly, took the initiative to take the tableware outside to wash it, and looked at Lu You anxiously when he came back. He wanted to have sex with his sub-beast, but he couldn't find a reason, so he planned to repeat the old trick , thinking about finding some reason to change back to the animal form.
Before he could say "My back is itchy, can you scratch it for me", Lu Er suddenly heard a sentence: "Jiao, you are tired after driving all the way back, sleep on the bed tonight. "
——Sleep, sleep on the bed?
The huge surprise hit Jiao's head in an instant, causing him to stutter for a moment. He stood up abruptly and looked at Lu Wei in disbelief: "Really, really?"
Could it be that he was not in the tribe during this time, and his sub-beast missed him after being separated for a long time?
Fortunately, during the month he was outside, he was worried every day whether other orcs would take advantage of it!
Seeing the undisguised expectation and joy on Jiao's face, Lu Er sighed in his heart, and even felt a little strange: Jiao was so obvious, why didn't he notice it before?
He stood up from the bed, pointed to the wooden bed, "you sleep on the bed."
Pointing to the nest before the corner, "I sleep here."
Jiao's expression of surprise froze instantly, and subconsciously asked, "Why don't you sleep together?"
A while ago, Lu You was asked by his old father about the pregnancy. Hearing Jiao's words, his expression fluctuated for a moment, and then he returned to normal.
Jiao looked at the bed, and really wanted to slap himself who said this reason, but he still struggled unwillingly: "I can lean out."
Squeeze a little just enough to hug each other, isn't it great!
Lu You's attitude was very firm, and he tore off the animal skin that he used as a quilt, and put the horned blanket on the bed.
Jiao's aura suddenly weakened, and he sat down on the bed with a sleepy expression. After a while, he regained his energy and began to think about changing back into a beast shape to act coquettishly.
"Lu Er, my animal back is a little itchy, can you scratch it for me?"
Tickle a big white lion?
Lu You's heart was about to move for a moment, and the word "good" almost blurted out. Fortunately, she immediately woke up, met Jiao's earnest gaze, and guessed Jiao's thoughts.
Thinking not to let Jiao go down so deeply, Lu You slightly lowered her head, ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, and looked at Jiao seriously, ready to show her cards directly.
Before he could say anything, the impatient corner jumped out of the bed, turned into a huge lion, and put the white fur that had been washed in advance in front of Lu Er.
Lu You's words were blocked in his mouth, and he habitually reached out and stroked the mane of the big lion.
It is still the familiar soft and silky, intoxicating.
After Lu Er stroked the mane and back of the big lion in the lion's posture, he suddenly woke up: No, I can't stroke the horn like this anymore!
Maybe Jiaojiao was misunderstood by his skillful way of stroking his hair!
Lu You coldly pushed the lion away, but when he saw the eyes of the big lion half-closed because of his comfort, and the long tail flapping leisurely, his heart softened inexplicably.
——Forget it, Jiao just came back from hard work, and it seemed a bit cruel to reject him immediately.
——Pretending not to know for the time being, let's have a showdown with Jiao tomorrow.
……
The next day, Lu Er woke up in the arms of a big white-haired lion.
Last night, after finding a reason for himself, he picked up the lion with peace of mind. After playing with the big lion, he fell asleep in the corner's nest directly after being tired.
And the big lion didn't change back to the human form and lie back on the wooden bed, but wrapped his body around him and slept on the ground together.
Lu You sat up, looking at the lion's snow-white mane lying quietly, listening to his steady and long breathing, her head was still a little confused just after waking up.
Last night he slept until dawn, and slept very peacefully throughout the night.
Haven't slept so comfortably in a long time.
In the past, he only slept with the cats he had raised. He never thought that he could sleep very soundly in the same bed with another person.
The morning sunlight poured in through the gaps in the tent, and fell on the sleeping lion's silver-white hair, coating the soft hair tips with a layer of golden light, and even made them somewhat transparent.
This scene was a bit too beautiful, Lu You couldn't help but leaned forward, reached out and stroked it gently.
Xu Shi was woken up by Lu Er, the big lion suddenly opened his eyes, the eyes of the beast quickly changed from dazed to clear, and in the blink of an eye, he turned back to an orc, sat up and looked at Lu Er who was close in front of him: "Are you awake? "
Lu You's outstretched hand just rested on Jiao's shoulder, and the posture of Jiao turning back into a human form still hugged Lu You in his arms.
The two were so close that the handsome orc could count his eyelashes.
Lu Er suddenly realized a fact that was a bit scary to him.
——In such an intimate posture, he was no longer as full of repulsion as before.
