Now that it has been discovered, there is no point in covering it up.

The silver-haired orc carefully observed Li's expression, and found that there was only surprise on Li's face, as if he saw himself transforming from a cat into a human.

Just now Li hugged into a ball and rolled all the way, so I probably couldn't see clearly.

Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, coughed, and put on his usual cold and proud face: "Well, I'm back."

Li happily jumped around in place, suddenly thought of something, and said happily: "I'll tell Teng!"

Although Li is often angry because Jiao doesn't allow him to play with Lu Er, like other orcs in the Redwood Tribe, he regards Jiao as the strongest pillar of the tribe, and secretly feels sad for Jiao's "death" for a long time.

Now that the horn appeared safe and sound, the little fox was so happy that he just wanted to quickly pass the good news to the people in the tribe.

After speaking, it turned into a fur ball and rolled towards the tribe with a grunt.

Before the horn could stop it, the little fox rolled away.

The little chubby bear stayed where he was, sniffed for a long time, and confirmed that the figure in front of him was indeed a horn, so he was relieved, turned into a human shape and happily held up a piece of freshly baked sweet potato: "Here is the horn." eat."

Jiao secretly ate a lot of Mang's jealousy, but as a Xiaomi, he knew how much Mang loved sweets, and the only people who made Mang willing to give away sweets were his family members.

Now that Mang took the initiative to send him roasted sweet potatoes, Jiao felt a little warm in his heart, and thanked him for taking it.

Now that Lee had gone down to inform the tribe, they had to go down and show their faces.

The time of appearance that was originally planned by Jiaojiao was much earlier, and a trace of annoyance accumulated in the eyes of the lion orc.

He has been really unlucky these two days.

He didn't eat any meat, and lost all his hair.

Lu You walked to Jiao's side and asked in a low voice, "How much time is left?"

Jiao understood what Lu You meant, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay."

There is no feeling of turning back to Xiaomi yet.

Lu Er felt relieved a little, and whispered again: "If you want to drink water, find me."

Jiao turned his face slightly, and seeing the seriousness and caution on Lu You's face, the tension in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his eyebrows and eyes relaxed.

Although the unexpected early appearance made him a little worried, this feeling of guarding the secret with his sub-beast gave him the illusion that only the two of them belonged to the "same wave".

Pretty happy.

……

Jiao's return ushered in an even more uproar than last time.

During the beast horde, the great white lion was so badly injured that his whole body was stained red with blood. No one who saw him had any hope of surviving.

Unexpectedly, Jiao returned with a full beard and tail, and there seemed to be no scars on his body!

The orcs came cheering, almost raising their horns.

The orcs and sub-beasts at the tail of the convoy who had been desperately protected by Jiao came over to express their thanks in a hurry, holding Jiao's hand with tears in their eyes.

If the horns hadn't rushed forward to block the torrent of beasts for them at the first time, they would have been crushed into mud by the torrent of beasts, leaving no place for them to die.

Lian Lian was seriously injured and stayed away for so long, which made Lu Er feel sad in the tribe...

The "sad and sad" Lu You accepted the congratulations from others, and the gentle smile on his face was almost unstoppable.

Fortunately, the corner of everyone's scruples just came back, so they didn't go too far, and stood behind after expressing their excitement.

Teng is also very excited. For him, Jiao is not only the pillar of the tribe, but also the junior he watched grow up, and Lu Er's partner.

Teng even planned to pass the position of leader directly to Jiao.

Teng can come back safely, he is the happiest and happiest person in the tribe.

The excitement dissipated, and everyone began to ask about Jiao's experience.

Jiao still brought up the routine he was injured last time: "After I was injured, I found a place to heal the injury. When the injury was almost healed, I hurried back to the tribe."

The orcs on the side were stunned to hear that such a serious injury could still recover.

"Is the injury all healed now? Let Lu Er take a look at it for you."

Jiao subconsciously replied: "All..."

Before the words finished, Lu Wei snatched her over: "I guess it's not ready yet, I'll help Jiao take a look later."

Jiao was slightly startled, looked up, and saw a reminder in Lu Wei's eyes.

He immediately realized: he can only become an orc for a short time every day, and most of the rest of the time he is a kitten.If you directly say that you have recovered your health, then the time period when you turned into a cat can't explain where he went at all.

On the contrary, if his injury has not recovered well, he can stay at home in the name of recuperating.

Immediately doing what he said, Jiao immediately used the excuse of "I feel a little uncomfortable" to drive away the orcs who were asking for their care and warmth, and dragged Lu Wei into the house.

Lu You thought that Jiao was going to turn back into Xiao Mi, so she quickly closed the door, turned around and waited for a long time, and saw that Jiao was skillfully pouring water from a kettle in an empty room.

The two looked at each other, Jiao suddenly understood, and coughed: "I think they are too annoying..."

——Finally able to return to human form, he wanted to spend more time with his sub-beast.

Lu You understood, felt helpless, came over and sat down, and took the water glass handed over by the corner.

Jiao seized the time when he could still maintain his human form, and hurriedly continued what he didn't finish last time: "I have a heart of life in me."

Lu You was slightly taken aback: "The heart of life? What is it?"

"I don't know exactly what it is. It was given to me by the totem of our tribe." Jiao pursed his lips, as if recalling some bad memories, and his face became slightly gloomy. "When there was a traitor in my tribe, The enemy was attracted, and the totem of our tribe was destroyed."

"Totem? Are your totems alive?"

Lu Er was a little curious.

Different orc tribes have different totems, embodying the beliefs of each tribe.

But most of the totems are just patterns drawn on the body with natural pigments, and there is no specific thing-this is related to the frequent migration of the orc tribes and the backward development of tools.

The totem of the horn-born tribe actually has its own conscious behavior?

"Well, the totem of our tribe is a tree."

Lu You blinked, a little surprised: "Tree?"

Trees in this world also have independent consciousness and behavior?

"Well. The totem is more... special. Although it is a tree, it has its own consciousness." Jiao was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Unfortunately, he is gone."

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Yi, the emotion in his eyes became more relaxed, "Those enemies attacked our tribe just to take away the heart of life from the totem... In order to prevent them from succeeding, the totem put the heart of life into on me, and let me run away, and let me never go back to the tribe."

Lu You was a little strange: "Why can't you go back to the tribe?"

"Those people are still looking for the heart of life, and I might be found when I go back." Jiao put down the cup in his hand, looked up at the top of the tent slightly, "My original tribe is very big, and the goal is too clear. I don't want to go back. Everyone is good."

"Are those people divine envoys?"

"God envoys are just what they call themselves." A lot of anger piled up in Jiao's eyes, "Our tribe is the closest place to God!"

Lu You was slightly taken aback: "Is there really a god?"

"At least our totem can communicate with the gods." Jiao picked up the cup again and sighed, "I don't know what's going on in the tribe now."

Seeing the gloomy look on Jiao's face, Lu You reached out and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "How old were you when the accident happened?"

Jiao thought about it for a while, and was a little uncertain: "About six or seven years old?"

Orcs are not very sensitive to age, and most of them cannot remember their exact birthday and age.

A child about six or seven years old suffered tribal disasters, was displaced alone, and could not return home...

Lu You looked at this tall orc with distress, and his mood became dull along with the horn.

Seeing that Lu Yi was depressed, Jiao Jiao cheered up a little, and tentatively patted Lu Yi's hand: "Don't worry, my tribe used to be very big, and my father and mother are all fine."

Lu Wei looked down at the hand that was on his own out of the corner of his eyes, subtly did not break away, pretended not to notice, and continued to talk about the business: "The heart of life, the ability given to you is the ability to heal people's blood and serious injuries. Become a kitten?"

Well, every part of my body carries the power of life, which I discovered when I was wandering; as for turning into a cat after being seriously injured..." Jiao coughed in embarrassment, "During the last beast tide, I I thought I was going to die, but unexpectedly I saved my life and turned into a kitten. "

——Then headed towards the tribe, and was picked up by his sub-beast as soon as he arrived at the tribe.

Lu You also remembered the first time, with a smile on his face.

"Why a cat? Are lions and cats different?"

"I don't know, I was indeed a lion when I was a child." Jiao scratched his head in confusion, "Maybe it's because of the heart of life."

After briefly telling his secret, he looked at Lu You with burning eyes, as if he wanted to say something but held it back.

Lu You looked at him looking forward to Ai Ai, and couldn't help being a little funny: "What do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask..."

There are many things that Kok wants to ask.

In his heart, his sub-beasts are full of mysteries and charms.

He wants to know everything about Lu Er, he wants to know where his sub-beast came from, why he came here, and whether he will leave, he wants to know the source and development of those magical farming knowledge, and he wants to know how many magical things Lu Er knows. ...

What he wants to know more is what Lu Er thinks of him, and when will he truly become his partner.

But in the end, Jiao only asked the simplest question: "Your name is not Lu Er, can you tell me your real name?"

Lu You looked into the deep green eyes of the corners, and slightly noticed how many emotions that could not be expressed were hidden behind this seemingly ordinary question.

He was silent for a while, then smiled suddenly, and replied seriously: "My name is Lu Er."

"lu... er?"

"Ah."

Lu Er took a wooden stick and wrote his name stroke by stroke on the ground, explaining slowly while writing: "This is the character I used in my previous place."

Jiao stared at the two incomprehensible patterns, inexplicably feeling the inexplicable charm exuded by those horizontal folds.

He also took a wooden stick and began to copy the two words Lu Er wrote on the ground.

Lu You watched Jiao carefully pinch a thin wooden stick and imitate his own name with an almost pious appearance, the corners of his mouth could not help but bend, he lowered his head, stretched out his hand to hold Jiao's hand, and led him to write.

……

After Jiao returned from the catastrophe, the people of the Redwood Tribe suddenly discovered that their strongest fighter seemed to have changed a bit.

In the past, even if the corner was injured occasionally, it would not delay the daily training and patrolling, and the physical work at home was never let Lu Er do it;

But after returning this time, everything in the tribe was waiting to be done. The courtyard house was not completed, the farmland was only roughly rectified, and other work was not done. Jiao actually stood by and did nothing!

The people in the tribe were not dissatisfied with Diagonal, they were just a little surprised.

Each of them is very clear about the relationship between Jiao and Lu Yi. Now that Jiao has returned safely, he just walks around outside every day. Everything is done by Lu Yi, which is completely different from the previous Jiao.

Both Jiao and Lu You could clearly feel the unusual gazes in the tribe.

Lu You didn't care about the eyes of outsiders, and continued to go out every day to improve crops or inspect the progress of the tribe's construction according to his own plan;

Jiao Jiao was very aggrieved, of course he wanted to help his sub-beast work and fill the empty house with things... But Lu Wei refused.

"The time you have been transformed into a human form is too short now, what should you do if you leave half of the work behind? You should take a good rest."

Therefore, when Jiao transforms into a human form, except for going out for a walk to show his existence, most of the time he can only nest in the house and organize things.

Moved in in a hurry, their stuff was all stacked in the car and nothing was organized.

Jiao took down the jars full of grain, spread out the rolled up animal skins, and hung them up to dry.

He also found a few large jars that were tightly sealed in the next room. After shaking it, there seemed to be some liquid in it, and he didn't know what it was for.

When in human form, he can only stay at home, but in kitten form, he can go out and run around with Lu Er.

Lu Er has cultivated carrots and tomatoes in the past few days.

Tomatoes are sour and sweet, no matter they are eaten as fruits or cooked; carrots are also a dish with great nutritional value.

Lu Er was very pleasantly surprised when he found the carrot.

Not because he loves carrots, but because of Mang.

Mang is well-behaved and sensible, but he has a major flaw - his eyes can't see clearly.

Most of the people and objects are simple blocks of light and shadow in his eyes, and he usually judges by his sense of smell.

Lu You doesn't have real art, so he can't judge where the problem with Mang's vision lies.

However, after he asked Hong Yun, he confirmed that when Mang was just born, he could distinguish the details of fingers and other things, unlike now he can't see clearly at all.

Before Lu Er came, they ate mostly the meat of their prey, occasionally some fruit, and when there was not enough food, they would gnaw some plant roots.

The word "nutrition" did not exist in the heads of the orcs at all.

If Mang was born with good eyesight, then maybe his eyesight has something to do with malnutrition.

Lu Er was not sure if this was the case, but at least it provided him with some ideas, so he was also looking for some food that could improve his eyesight.

Carrots are one of the most convenient and easiest to grow.

Lu You cultivated a carrot for the first time, and immediately gave it to Mang to taste.

Mang thought this was a new sweet plant cultivated by his brother, happily "clicked" a big bite, chewed twice, his face was a bit bitter: "It's not sweet."

"Well, but you still have to finish eating well."

The little chubby bear seems to dislike carrots very much, but he has to listen to his brother's words, so he can only become a bear gnashing his teeth and eating carrots bite by bite.

The bear's mouth is relatively large, so it can eat a lot in one bite, saving a long time of torture.

After eating the carrots, Lu You took a tomato and handed it to Mang. The little red bear whose ears drooped because he ate something he didn't like was immediately happy, and started to eat the tomato "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Lu You gently rubbed Pang Xiong's hairy ears, and said with a smile, "Come and eat a carrot every day."

The little chubby bear's ears drooped down again.

……

In the busy and abundant labor in the tribe, more than a month passed quickly, and the last courtyard was finally built.

So far, all the orc families have moved into high-walled and bright courtyards.

Although most people now live in rough houses, and the windows and doors are temporarily made of animal skins as curtains, but the orcs who tried to live in houses for the first time were all overjoyed, wandering around in their houses every day.

On the other hand, the sweet potatoes in the field are also ripe.

This batch of sweet potatoes still has the effect of spiritual water, so it grows very fast. When the tribal houses are built, it is time to harvest.

Putting down the mud tiles to work and picking up hoes, the orcs were full of enthusiasm for harvesting food. Within a few days, they harvested all the sweet potatoes, and piled them full in the yards and houses of every household.

With these sweet potatoes and the millet they had left before, they started hunting some prey later. This cold season is another season of fullness.

The construction of the tribe was completed, the grain was harvested in the fields, and the warm season was coming to an end. The bushes around the tribe began to wither, and only the bamboo forest was still green.

At Lu Er's proposal, the Redwood Tribe held a grand celebration.

Celebrate them having a new home.

In the past, the Redwood Tribe had similar festivals, which were held by gathering together to barbecue, dance, eat and drink.

After all, they are just a small tribe, and there is not so much soil for the birth of culture.

This time Lu Er provided another way to celebrate.

There are already many staple foods, vegetables, fruits, and meat in the tribe. There are all kinds of seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin, pepper, and pepper. It is enough to make a variety of dishes.

Teng's sub-beast, Hongyun, has been concentrating on trying various cooking skills for so long. Under Lu Er's guidance, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the delicious food he has made has surpassed Lu Er's.

Lu Er is not good at cooking, and spends most of his time and energy on the development of the tribe. Now, cooking has been relegated to the second place in the tribe.

With Hong Yun as the leader and the help of other sub-beasts and orcs, a banquet that can accommodate almost the entire tribe's celebration was held vigorously.

Jiao's injury has basically recovered after more than a month, and now there is very little time to become a Xiaomi in a day, so he deliberately drank enough spiritual water and participated in the running water banquet.

Not long after the banquet started, Lu You asked Jiao to go to their house to take out those big jars.

I don't know the angle, so I moved out the big pottery urn I found when I was tidying up the house.

Lu Er opened the mud seal on Weng's mouth, and a clear scent of wine wafted out of the jar.

The orcs had never smelled such a smell before, all their eyes were focused on the jar beside Lu Er, and they swallowed subconsciously.

Teng next to him felt that his eyes could not be separated from the mysterious fragrance, so he asked directly, "Lu Er, what is this?"

"This is wine, made from millet."

Lu Er took a little out with a bamboo spoon and tasted it, quite satisfied.

The millet wine has not been brewed for a long time, and the wine has a very light taste and a little fragrance of millet. It is not easy to get drunk after drinking, which is very suitable for this celebration.

It is worthwhile for him to prepare two months in advance.

Although the strength of the wine is very low, just in case, people who are weak, who have just given birth, are young, and who are on duty tonight should not drink it.

In this way, each person can share two or three cups.

The orcs felt that the water called "wine" was quite spicy at the first sip, and their faces turned red; however, after the hotness passed, the aroma of wine and rice returned to the sweetness at the same time, and the whole body became refreshed.

They instantly fell in love with wine.

There is wine and food, a new home is completed, the fields are harvested, and the whole family is happy.

A huge bonfire was lit around, and the light of the fire almost reflected the sky red, falling on the faces of the orcs and sub-beasts of the Redwood tribe, flickering on and off, unable to cover the joy and joy in everyone's eyes.

Driven by the lively atmosphere, Lu Youzhi's heart suddenly surged with enthusiasm, and he took the cup in his hand and stood up.

Seeing that Lu You seemed to have something to say, everyone quieted down and listened carefully.

After standing up, Lu Wei realized that he actually had nothing to say, and just raised his glass slightly: "Everyone has worked hard during this time. Cheers to our new home and new life!"

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

The others didn't know what Lu You meant by "cheers", but seeing Lu You drank a glass of wine in one breath, they followed Lu's example and drank the wine in their glasses to the brim.

Jiao put down the empty cup, looked at the dazzling sub-beast beside him, saw the slight blush on Lu You's cheeks, the watery eyes, and the undisguised bright smile, and was stunned for a moment.

The wine he drank just now seemed to turn into a ball of fire burning in his body.

In order to hide his agitation, Jiao hurriedly lowered his head, poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down.

Just when he lowered his head and raised his head, his eyes couldn't help but fly to Lu Er.

……

After eating, the orcs and sub-beasts began to dance around the campfire.

Although there was no music, the orcs howled rhythmically in the form of beasts, which turned out to have a wild rhythm.

The flying orcs in the shape of beasts circled in the sky, and the beasts on the ground screamed one after another.There are more sub-beasts and orcs dancing irregular, primitive and free dances around the campfire.

Lu You's hand was tightly held by the corner, and the two looked at each other amidst the joyous atmosphere around them.

Under the reflection of the orange-red fire, Lu You saw that there seemed to be flames burning in Jiao's eyes in a trance. The deep green pupils that used to be like moonlight shining into a cold pool now danced with fear and excitement. flame.

The surrounding sound and light flickered rapidly, and Lu Wei felt a subtle and unbearable heat all over his body, and his head was slightly dizzy.

—Perhaps the drink was still too strong.

——Otherwise, how could he not refuse when Jiao slowly approached him?
