Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

By the time the first real bronze ax was cast, the weather had become very hot.

Lu You's belly was not small at this time, more than double the size of a normal pregnant animal, and it became difficult to stand and walk.Everyone who saw Lu Yi's big belly was amazed, and then gradually turned into worry.

Everyone said that they have never seen such a big belly. In this era when childbirth itself is a life-and-death difficulty, it is hard not to be frightened by such a big belly.

The hot weather and the burden on the abdomen made Lu Er feel more and more uncomfortable. When he moved a little, his whole body was sweating, and his mood became particularly impetuous.

Baixu's weaving skills have basically surpassed Duoyu's now, and he has knitted several loose and cool clothes with cool vines specially for Lu Er, but they can't offset the annoying heat.

Jiao has already paved the floor of the house with floor tiles, removed the animal skin curtains on the doors and windows and replaced them with straw curtains, and often put a basin of cold water in the corner of the house to absorb heat.

Compared with others, Jiao is the one who is most worried about Lu Er's stomach.The joy of learning that Lu You is pregnant with a cub at first is not much left now. Seeing Lu You's terrifyingly big belly and Lu You's difficulty in moving around in daily life, Jiao wants to replace it with his own body every time.

The cloud-spotted bird raised in the yard—now forced to change its name to chicken, is used to life in captivity. Except for the daily attempts to fly but repeated failures, I feel particularly satisfied with the life of waking up to eat millet every day.

When the chicken is satisfied, it begins to lay eggs.

Lu You finally ate eggs.

Jiao spends his time preparing food for Lu Er every day. Seeing that Lu Er is uncomfortably hot, he even specially finds a piece of cattail leaf and sun-dries it into a fan to drive away the heat of Lu Er.

Even though Lu Er was irritable due to physical inconvenience and high temperature, watching Jiao sitting on the side with a fan to cool himself down made her feel very peaceful.

Seeing that Lu You felt relieved, Jiao was also happy, and kept fanning in his hand, and asked, "Lu You, what do you want to eat?"

As her belly got bigger and bigger, Lu You needed more and more nutrients; but the hot weather made Lu You feel a little bit hard to eat.

Lu You rubbed his stomach, but he really felt no appetite, and sighed: "I don't want to eat anything."

A trace of worry flashed in Jiao's eyes, but he didn't express it on his mouth. He suggested patiently: "I heard that Feng's family slaughtered a pig. Shall I go buy some pork?"

The pigs that have been raised for so long have become fat, and every household in the tribe has started to slaughter pigs for meat.It was the first time I ate the meat of a pig raised by myself, and I felt very satisfied no matter the taste buds or the mind after eating it.

Some families originally wanted to keep the sows for giving birth, but after the cold season ended, the two sows of Lu You's family started to conceive and give birth again, and they gave birth to many at one go. They couldn't help but make up their minds one after another Determined to kill pigs.

Let's eat this round of delicious food first!

The orcs who joined the Redwood Tribe later didn't have pigs, and they didn't think much of the meat of those livestock at first—it's just a dwarf pig, they haven't eaten it!

But when the strong aroma from the pork wafted out, they couldn't sit still: they had never smelled such a fragrant meat smell before!

Fortunately, most people can't finish the slaughtered pigs by themselves, and they will sell a large part of them to other people in the tribe. They can spend money to buy them and taste them.

In this weather, the fresh meat will not be stored for long. Instead of thinking about how to preserve it, it is better to exchange some copper coins and buy it later when other people slaughter pigs.

At this time, the orcs in the tribe slowly discovered the convenience of currency. In addition to giving an important amount for item exchange, it was also easy to store, unlike food and fur that were easily damaged.

Thinking of those pork, Lu You frowned: "It's so greasy."

"Then kill a chicken and eat it?"

Jiao later added a few more chickens to their pen, and when Lu Er suddenly lost interest in eggs for a while, the hens hatched some chicks, and now there are a lot of chickens chattering in their pen .

Occasionally, when Lu Wei has an appetite, Jiao will kill one or two for Lu Wei to eat.

Lu You thought about it, but still felt no appetite: "It's still boring."

"Then I go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables?"

"Too light."

Jiao made several proposals in a row, and Lu You felt that he couldn't bear it and shook his head no.

Seeing Jiao racking his brains to think about preparing food, Lu You felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, am I being a little self-willed?"

Jiao pulled out of his thoughts, froze for a moment, and quickly said: "No!"

A smile flashed across the face of the silver-haired orc, and he leaned over to fan Lu You while explaining, "I really like that you are self-willed with me."

This will make him very satisfied.Only in front of him, Lu Er is not as gentle and polite as others, and will be willful and blush.

Such a real Lu Er can only be seen by himself.

Seeing the slightly smug smile on Jiao's face, Lu Er felt a little warmth in his heart, leaned over and kissed Jiao's face lightly, and said deliberately, "Then I'm going to be self-willed again."

"You said."

"I want to eat mushrooms."

It has been dry for several days, and under the scorching sun, mushrooms, which only grow in humid places, have disappeared at all.

But Jiao didn't hesitate, and agreed straight away: "Okay, I'll go out and look for it."

Lu You was a little surprised, but a little worried: "I just said it casually."

"You just want to eat it after you said it." Jiao stood up, then bent down and kissed Lu You lightly on the forehead, his green eyes were serious, "Don't worry, I will definitely find it for you."

Looking at the back of Jiao Li, Lu You took the cattail fan that Jiao put down and slapped it twice, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

How could he have such a gentle and strong partner.

After Jiao left, Lu You was a little bored, stood up with difficulty leaning on the wall, and took two steps under the awning.

After the hot weather, Jiao set up a pergola in the yard so that Lu Er could enjoy the shade at any time.

The arbor was quite close to the sheepfold, and Lu Er sat down in the arbor, watching the two sheep lying on the ground and chewing the hay patiently.

The grass-chewing movement of the curly sheep is slow and regular. Staring at it for a long time can often make people feel stable and fascinated.

When the weather wasn't so hot a while ago, Lu You would still consider the planting plan for the second crop; now he doesn't want to think about anything, he just wants to empty his mind and make himself more comfortable.

Fortunately, the tribe has been farming for so many years, so there should be no problems in planting.

Lu You also taught the preliminary processing steps of sugar beet and rapeseed after harvest, and now everyone has a tacit understanding not to bother Lu You with some small problems.

The experienced old Asian beasts in the tribe have never seen such a big belly, so it is difficult to judge the expected date of delivery; Lu Er roughly speculates that his childbirth time is almost the latest based on the time when he was "shot".

Naturally, no one does not believe the judgment of the witch doctor. Now people in the tribe are more and more concerned about Lu Er. Every day, Yashou comes to visit Lu Er regularly; the situation over there;

As for the corner, it almost reached the level of jitteriness. Several times I dreamed of the scene where Lu Er was in a hurry when he gave birth, and almost couldn't sleep at night.

Lu You also saw that he was under too much pressure these days, so he urged Jiao to go out to relax.

After staring at the two sheep for a while, Lu You suddenly felt a little strange.

The ewes don't seem to be grazing much today, and the frequency of the rams' grazing is not stable enough, and they seem very restless.

He wanted to stand up and take a look, but he was inconvenient, so he had to call Lie Heyong from the next door.

Yong was not at home, when Lie heard Lu Wei's voice, he went over to look at the state of the two sheep, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed on his cold face: "This ewe seems to be about to give birth."

This sheep has also been raised for more than half a year. After the beginning of spring, Lu You found out that it was pregnant with a cub, and looked forward to feeding her child with goat milk.

I never thought it was time to give birth!

Lu You was a little worried immediately: "Is the sheep okay?"

"Uh, it looks okay." Lie stood up with some embarrassment.He didn't know much about the knowledge of female animals giving birth.Because he was with Yong, and Yong would not be pregnant, so he never cared about this matter.

After a little calculation, Lu You knew Lie's thoughts, and suddenly felt a little helpless: "Go out and find someone who understands to come and take a look."

After all, this ewe is related to the milk of his future baby, which cannot be ignored.

Lie ran out relieved, just bumped into the horn carrying the mushroom on the road.

Seeing Lie running out of the house, Jiao's heart tightened suddenly: "What's wrong?"

Lie has always said concisely: "I'm going to give birth."

Jiao was stunned for a moment, the mushroom in his hand fell to the ground with a "crash", and ran into the yard in a panic.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Er who was leaning against the wall under the arbor and fanning the wind slowly. He quickly ran over, grabbed Lu Er's hand, and looked up and down in panic: "Lu Er, how are you, are you okay? Don't worry, Lie I'm going to call someone...does it hurt anywhere?"

A string of cannonballs knocked Lu You unconscious.He was stunned for a long time before he understood Jiao's misunderstanding, and quickly interrupted him: "What are you thinking, I didn't have a baby."

"But just said fiercely..."

Lu You couldn't laugh or cry: "It's the sheep that is about to give birth."

He pointed to the ewe lying on the ground and whining in pain from time to time, and frowned: "I hope it's okay."

Jiao confirmed that he had just misunderstood, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He squatted down with some fear, and took a breath: "I must beat Lie up."

While talking, the person Lie hired also came over, showed the ewe, smiled and said: "Don't worry, the calf of the curly horn sheep is like this, it's all right."

Lu You was more or less relieved, and waited anxiously for the lamb to be born.

After a long time, Lu You heard the ewe's long cry of relief.Ya Beast, who was watching near the sheep shed, happily said: "Okay, two lambs have been born!"

The sheep that had been raised for so long gave birth successfully. Lu Er and Jiao looked at each other, and they both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

The ram began to lick the lambs and ewes without hesitation. Others saw that the sheep were healthy, so they didn't go around to watch.

Smiling and laughing, Lu You suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and subconsciously covered her stomach.

Jiao quickly sensed that Lu You's expression was wrong, and hurriedly came over and hugged his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts a bit..." Lu You closed her eyes to feel it, and said hesitantly, "I might be about to give birth."

Jiao had made all kinds of preparations for Lu Yi's birth a long time ago, including fur blankets and water tanks, but at this moment his mind went blank, and he seemed to be stupid.

Fortunately, Lu Er's gasping sound from the pain brought him back to his senses quickly. He took a deep breath and turned to look at Lie: "Go and call someone!"

Then he squatted down, carefully picked up Lu Er, carried him to the carpet in the room, and asked eagerly in a low voice, "Lu Er, Lu Er..."

I wanted to ask something but I couldn't seem to find anything.

Lu You raised his head and could see the sharp-edged chin, on which a drop of sweat was evidently gathered, and felt inexplicably more at ease, and whispered: "Jiao, I'm fine."

They have made detailed plans for the delivery before, taking into account the situation of twins or twins, and also taking into account the weather and personnel issues.

Now Jiao is beside him, and the sub-beast who happened to know how to give birth was also called over, and Lie went to inform the others...

There has never been a better state than now.

Ya Beast next to him panicked at first, but soon calmed down and helped Lu Wei get ready.

Quickly brought Lao Yashou, who was the best at delivering babies in the tribe, over. At the same time, Teng, Hongyun, Mang, Baixu, Zitong and others were waiting outside the door, fidgeting anxiously.

The process of giving birth was definitely not comfortable, the labor pains kept coming, and Lu Er had to keep exerting himself. The first experience of giving birth caused him a lot of physical and psychological blows.

Fortunately, with Jiao, and Jiao's eyes looking at each other with the same panic and worry, Lu You can always germinate infinite strength.

Putting all the effort into breastfeeding, it took some time before Lu You vaguely heard the happy voice of the old Asian beast who delivered the baby: "It's born, it's a hairy one!"

These words lifted Lu You's spirits, and after taking a little breath, he realized that he was tightly pinching the corner of his arm, and his nails were almost embedded in the skin.

There was also a hint of joy on Jiao's face, but he was still very dignified. He lowered his head and whispered encouragement in Lu Er's ear: "Lu Er, try harder."

He saw that Lu You's stomach was still bulging, obviously there was still a cub in his stomach.

--twin?

This was in Lu You's expectation, he took a light breath, held back his strength, and prepared to use more force after the pain subsided.

……

Outside the Redwood Tribe, a golden-haired lion walked on the road, looking at the surrounding large farmland in surprise.

Although he had seen sweet potato fields before, such a vast cultivated land was beyond his expectation and shocked him greatly.

The snow leopard behind him rode an old wrinkled Asian beast, rubbed his cloudy eyes, looked at the farmland in surprise, and muttered to himself: "It's really eye-opening... I didn't believe it when you said it before. Woolen cloth."

The animal skin on this old Asian beast has obviously been exquisitely processed, it is close-fitting and flamboyant, with colorful bird feathers on its head, and a jingling string of bone and tooth necklaces of the same size around its neck. The weather doesn't seem to feel hot at all.

The big golden lion turned back into a human form, rubbed its neck, and said angrily, "When did I ever lie?"

"You're not telling too many lies?" The old Asian beast seemed a little disdainful, patted the snow leopard's buttocks, and urged, "Hurry up! It's just ahead!"

Snow Leopard turned his head to look at Lao Yashou aggrievedly, but did not dare to refute, so he could only speed up honestly.

After walking a few steps faster, the old Asian beast was a little dissatisfied: "Be careful, I'm too old to stand up."

Snow Leopard: "Woooooooo!"

……

In the delivery room, Lu You exhausted all her strength, and after a burst of tearing pain, she finally felt a lot lighter all over her body.

The surprised voice of Yashou, who was in charge of delivering the baby, sounded in my ear again: "This time it's a light one! It's so cute!"

Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that all the strength in his body was completely dissipated in an instant.

——Finally finished unloading.

Lu Er's head was drowsy and he almost fell asleep. Suddenly, he felt that his hand was clenched tightly, and there was a scorching voice in his ear: "Lu Er! Work harder! There is more!"

--besides……?

Lu You was stunned for a while, and it took a while to realize that Jiao meant that he hadn't finished giving birth yet.

Not twins, but triplets? !

He tried his best to wake himself up, but the momentary loss of strength just now made him unable to condense his strength anyway, feeling his whole body became limp, and only bursts of tingling pain proved that this body still belonged to him.

Jiao Jiao saw that Lu You's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the fingers pinching his arm were also weakly loosened, and his voice became panicked: "Lu You, Lu You?"

He stood up suddenly, took a sip of water from the cup on the side cabinet, did not swallow it, turned his head and fed it to Lu You mouth to mouth.

This is the spiritual water prepared by Lu Er before. Considering that the childbirth process consumes a lot of energy, it can be replenished with spiritual water.

A sip of spiritual water was given to Lu Yi, but it was not as useful as they imagined. Lu Yi became weaker and weaker.

Ya Beast, who was in charge of delivering the baby over there, was also very anxious: "There should be one cub left, it must be born! Otherwise..."

Not giving birth is dystocia, and dystocia is almost synonymous with death.

In the past ten years, the Redwood Tribe had several difficult births and two deaths. Jiao also witnessed it. Now thinking of the terrible consequences, the blood in the whole body is going to be cold.

He heard unprecedented panic and helplessness in his own voice. He was even more frightened than when he was forced to leave his family and tribe when he was six or seven years old. His voice was extremely obscure: "Lu Er! Wake up, and use more strength!"

He couldn't imagine the scene of losing Lu Er.

If possible, he would like to lie here instead of Lu Er to bear the pain of childbirth.

In fact, Lu Er didn't pass out. He could hear Jiao's voice, and knew that if he didn't grit his teeth and use force now, the only outcome would be dystocia and death.

It's just that his body is completely exhausted now, and his physical problems cannot be completely solved by perseverance.

He couldn't condense even if he tried hard, even the pain in his body gradually disappeared, and the soul of the whole person seemed to fly out of the body.

At this moment, countless pictures flashed in Lu You's mind, as if replaying the life experience before death.Various images of modern society and the world of orcs intermingled together, giving him a premonition that he was about to die in a trance.

He even felt that he had an auditory hallucination - there seemed to be an equally anxious voice in his ears, vague, like the muttering of an old man, or the babbling of a child.

This voice is somewhat familiar, as if it has been heard somewhere.Full of worry, it seemed to be encouraging him to try harder.

After the voice appeared, Lu Wei felt his body became heavy again, and the pain on his body became much clearer, as if he had suddenly returned to reality.

Feeling that Lu You's hand was getting looser and looser, Jiao felt that his blood was slowly cooling down.

He lowered his head and kept kissing Lu You's forehead, wishing he could die immediately.

But apart from calling in vain, he didn't know what he could do.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the door, and then the closed door was pushed open, and an old Asian beast dressed very sacredly walked in aggressively, looking at the upper corner with a hint of anger in a daze Directly yelling: "Are you just watching there?!"

After the door was opened, the light from the outside came in, and Jiao could clearly see the familiar wrinkled face of the old Asian beast. He was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously called out the somewhat unfamiliar name: "Sacrifice?"

"What's it called!" The old priest walked over unceremoniously, and glanced at Lu You, who was already collapsed on the ground and his lips were starting to turn white. A deep gash was drawn.

Blood gushed out immediately.

The two subbeasts who were in charge of delivering the baby suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Jiao's wrist was injured, instead of anger, he reacted in an instant——damn, how could he forget this? !

He has a heart of life in him!What Lu Er is losing now is not energy, but the power of life!

Putting the bleeding wrist to Lu You's mouth, the horns pinched Lu You's jaw lightly, making him open his mouth, and whispered: "Lu You, drink more."

The old priest snorted, squinted at the two confused sub-beasts over there, cursed inwardly, and pretended to dig out for a while in his animal skin bag, grabbed a handful of turquoise powder, Sprinkle it on Lu You's body, and said deliberately: "With my magic medicine, combined with the blood of Zai'er's father, he can recover his strength."

The blood containing the power of life entered his throat, but within a few blinks, Lu You's pale complexion gradually turned rosy. He opened his eyes quickly, licked the bloody smell from the corner of his mouth, and shook his head slightly.

Jiao knew what he meant, but fearing it wasn't enough, he pinched his wound as if he didn't know the pain, and a large stream of blood gushed out, all pouring into Lu Yi's mouth.

Lu You, who regained his strength, opened his mouth helplessly to catch it, looked at Jiao's deep wound with distress, and gave Jiao a slight look, meaning that he would settle accounts with him later.

Seeing that Lu Er had the strength to stare at others, half of the stone in Jiao's heart was put down.

Soon, the last cub who had a difficult labor with his mother was finally born, and the old Asian beast who delivered the baby almost wept with joy, relieved: "It's finally out! It's finally out! It's a hairy one!"

Jiao stared at Lu You's flat belly, and confirmed with concern: "Is there no fourth one?"

"No, three, all safe!"

This sub-beast has delivered three cubs for the first time in so many years. After the fear of the crisis is eliminated, it is the joy of surviving the catastrophe and the joy of having three more cubs all at once.

After confirming that Lu Wei was still in good health, Jiao was relieved, and felt dizzy for a while. He was half-squatting, but now he sat on the ground with a "slap".

Then he straightened his face, turned into a beast shape, and roared at the other three sub-beasts in the room.

After being roared by the silver-white lion, the two subbeasts in charge of delivering babies were not angry either—after a partner gave birth, it was the customary process for orcs to lick their own subbeasts and cubs, and it was normal not to want outsiders around.

Although the old priest looked a little worried, he didn't say much. He planned to give Jiao some herbs to stop the bleeding, so he simply ignored him.

Anyway, shed a little blood and won't die!

……

All the people in the house left, only their family of five remained.

The big lion took the three cubs and placed them next to Lu Yi, and stretched out its tongue to clean up the mucus on Lu Yi and the three cubs.

The lion's tongue is very rough, but fortunately it doesn't have horny barbs like the tiger's, and the horns are very patient and careful. Lu Wei didn't feel uncomfortable, but it was a little itchy from being licked, and his face turned pale again after exhausting all his strength. There was a smile on his face.

He turned his head slightly to watch the big silver lion cleaning the bodies of the father and son.Although it is a big furry lion, Lu You can still see the piety and concentration in its eyes, as if it is doing something more important than saving the world, and it seems to be caring for the most precious treasure in the world.

After cleaning the body, the three cubs uttered tender sounds and crawled gently on the soft animal skin; the big lion circled Lu Er and the three cubs in the center of its body, with its huge lion head close to the On the side of Lu You's head, he kissed lightly, and a sob came out of his throat.

Lu You turned her head, and was about to say something with a smile on her face, when she suddenly found that a series of tears rolled out of the green eyes of this powerful, haughty and domineering pure white lion, dripping down, some falling on the ground. His bare shoulders, with scorching temperature, burned to his heart.

Lu You was stunned.

This was the first time he saw the horn cry.

Transparent tears wet the lion's fur, making those proud furs lie down wet.

The big lion stared at Lu You firmly, letting the tears fall, without blinking his eyes, for fear that his sub-beast would turn pale and cold in the blink of an eye.He never wanted to feel that kind of panic again in his life.

——At that moment just now, he almost thought that he was really going to lose his sub-beast.

—Fortunately, fortunately...

The pure white lion curled up slightly, nestled one big, three small and four people in his arms, and firmly protected them behind his body, as if protecting his whole world.
