Afraid that Yan Ze would catch a cold, Qin Zhiyao hurriedly took dry clothes and changed him into dry clothes. The rain this time was probably the beginning of the rainy season. There was a lot of firewood in the house. Qin Zhiyao wanted to light a fire to drive Yan Ze away from the cold, but Yan Ze blocked.Yan Ze feels that the rain will last for a long time this time, so it is better to save some firewood.

Qin Zhiyao took out a fist-sized cyan fruit from the mesh bag made of rattan, sniffed it, and asked, "What's this called? Can I eat it?"

Yan Ze wiped his wet hair carelessly, and explained: "You can't eat it. It's called astringent fruit. It tastes sour and astringent. If you eat it, it will make your throat tingle. It's specially used to soften animal skins. Besides this, there are several kinds of fruit. Fruit also has this effect."

Qin Zhiyao nodded, squeezed, the astringent fruit was quite firm, pinched it with his fingers, a small amount of juice overflowed, it was not sticky, like clear water.

"Wow~" The cubs looked at the female father and immediately ran over curiously with something new. The largest second child ran the fastest, and put his soft front paws on Qin Zhiyao's legs, and his eyes were moist. Run's eyes were fixed on Qin Zhiyao's hand.

Qin Zhiyao smiled and nodded his second child's black nose, handed it to the children around him to smell it, and asked without raising his head, "When will it be done?"

"It can be used when the leather is dry, maybe tomorrow afternoon." Yan Ze was not willing to be snatched by the child, sat down next to Qin Zhiyao, flicked his tail, and 'unintentionally' hit Qin Zhiyao few times.

Qin Zhiyao stroked the furry children, his heart was so soft that he hugged the two lovingly, and when Yan Ze's tail swept them, he looked at them and said with a smile, "We'll wait and see."

The rain has not weakened throughout the day, and the sound of rumbling rain is all over the ears. It will not make people feel noisy, and there is even an inexplicable sense of security, as if surrounded by a thick layer of rain, and everything is isolated by the rain. , will not suddenly jump out of nowhere.

On the second day, it rained from time to time.In the afternoon, the sky gradually brightened, and the rain was still falling.The muddy mud slid down the hillside, flowing along the tracks on the ground, and the nose was filled with the smell of mud and water.

Yan Ze sat at the place with the best light at the door, spread a large piece of animal skin on the ground with its fur facing down, and scraped off the excess oil on the skin with a sharp stone knife.

Five liger cubs and a half-burnt velvet were curiously surrounded by them. Due to the majesty of Yan Ze's parents, they didn't dare to catch them at will. They just waited for the parents to scrape off the minced meat and licked it on the ground.

Seeing that his younger brothers were eating, Xiaobai also tried to lick it, smashed his mouth, then lowered his head and licked it.

Qin Zhiyao was sitting by the door, holding an irregular stone pillar and pounding it intently. The sunken stone was already filled with mushy green and astringent fruit puree, and the stainless steel pot on one side was also half full.

Qin Zhiyao casually looked up, and saw the babies licking the ground like they were picking up trash, and Xiao Bai also joined in, and immediately scolded: "Hey, don't eat it, you don't care about the dirt on the ground, Aze."

"Ah? Oh." Yan Ze quickly glared at the cubs around him. The babies immediately sensed the danger, and they stopped grabbing the dried minced meat on the ground. They all looked up at the male father.

With a wave of his long legs, Yan Ze kicked them away a few meters away, and said to Qin Zhiyao with a shy smile: "I've taught them a lesson, well, it's time to apply astringent fruit."

Groups of pompoms on the ground rolled away one by one, making a few childish wailing sounds unique to cubs.

"Ah!" Qin Zhiyao yelled after hearing the wailing of the cubs, instinctively almost pounced on him, and when he heard Yan Ze's words, he handed over the pot containing the astringent fruit puree, and said with a bad face: " Can't you take it easy? They're so small."

Yan Ze flicked his tail, and said aggrievedly: "I know how to measure."

The cubs who stopped rolling immediately stood up, shook their messy hair, and ran towards the female father with short legs, screaming non-stop, as if they were complaining or complaining.

Although they are young, they also know that the female father is the largest in the family, and it is right to hold the female father's thigh firmly.

Qin Zhiyao patted the children, saw that they were fine, coaxed them gently, then lifted them to a clean place, looked at Yan Ze and said, "Is there enough astringent fruit? I'll poke some more if it's not enough."

Qin Zhiyao was also curious about how the animal skins were made, so he moved the wooden stool under his buttocks to Yan Ze's side.

Yan Ze took the pot with one hand and said, "It's not enough, five more pots will be enough."

"Ah? It takes so much." Qin Zhiyao shook his sore arm, glanced at the washed astringent fruit in the bucket, and there was still a small half of the bucket. It must be five pots after pounding all these.

Yan Ze immediately rubbed Qin Zhiyao's arm attentively, but because of the heavy force, Qin Zhiyao let out a cry of pain and frowned.

Yan Ze said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just have a lot of strength, does it hurt?"

Qin Zhiyao withdrew his hand, rubbed Yan Ze's red arm and said with a smile, "It's okay."

"You can apply it, I'll hammer the fruit puree, and apply the fruit puree thickly." Yan Ze said.

Qin Zhiyao's hands were itchy when he saw it, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately: "Okay."

"Ow~"

"Ow~"

The babies who had been left to hang lay down on their stomachs.Some stuck out their pink tongues and licked their mouths, eating the minced meat on the edge of their mouths.Some lay on the ground and licked their paws and bellies.Some just surrounded Xiaobai and gnawed on Xiaobai, and Xiaobai was reciprocal, and bit back with a 'squeak, squeak'.

The rest of the work didn't take much time. Qin Zhiyao and Yan Ze quickly finished the animal skin, and dragged the animal skin covered with green fruit puree to the edge of the wall.

It took some time to soften and deodorize, so Yan Ze went out in the rain to get food, and the babies took the opportunity to crawl on Qin Zhiyao's body to nurse.

After eating, the animal skin was almost ready, so Yan Ze took it out to the river to wash it.A large amount of thick mud flowed into the river, and the whole river was dyed yellowish yellow, and the washed animal skins also had a muddy smell, and the mud and sand could be seen on a closer look.

Yan Ze took the animal skin home and washed it with the clean water he stored at home, wrung out the water, and spread the skin side down on the grocery rack.

This bracket was only made today, and it is a board made of wide and thick bamboo slices.Orcs would not be so troublesome, just hang the animal skins directly on the tree, Yan Ze is also planning to do the same, but the weather is not good, so we can only make such a grid temporarily on rainy days.

Qin Zhiyao stood aside and looked at the wet animal skin. The skin still had a lingering bloody smell just now. To be honest, Qin Zhiyao was a little scared and felt very cruel.But the world is like this, and he has no other way to keep warm, so he can only enlighten himself silently in his heart.

Now it's just a simple treatment, and there is no trace of bloody smell on this piece of leather. Qin Zhiyao doesn't feel so uncomfortable looking at it anymore, and the effect of astringent fruit is really great.

"Can it be used after it's dry? Do you want to do anything else?" Qin Zhiyao asked.

"It can be used after it is dried. If it is clothes to be worn, it needs to be pickled with another fruit and leaves that are more acidic. The animal hide will become very soft, so it is harder to use. It's better to make the bed." Yan Ze replied.

Qin Zhiyao nodded with understanding, "Ah Ze is really amazing, he knows a lot."

Qin Zhiyao's words were not meant to coax Yan Ze, he really felt so, because he himself had no need for animal skins.

When Qin Zhiyao chatted with Yan Ze before, he knew that he didn't need to wear extra clothes in the cold season, and single males didn't even need to wear clothes, and they were in the shape of a beast all day long.

Yan Ze was a little uncomfortable being praised, scratched his messy lion head, took Qin Zhiyao's hand and walked out, "Actually, everyone knows it. This is a craft that all males must learn. After they get married, they need to use it frequently. arrive."

Listening to Yan Ze's words, the smile on Qin Zhiyao's face slowly dissipated, and he walked out of the house side by side with Yan Ze without saying a word.

Qin Zhiyao knew that the males here lived in an environment where their partners were tense since they were young, and males were rare in females since they were young, and Aze was no exception.Maybe, Aze liked him at first just because he was the same as the female here.

Although he knew that Yan Ze loved him, Qin Zhiyao's heart was as if being strangled by a hand, it didn't hurt, but it made him breathless.If he had the same tail and ears as the orc, he would have been wilted like a frosted eggplant.

Yan Ze felt something was wrong when he didn't get a response, and immediately flustered after taking a look at Qin Zhiyao.I thought about what I said, but I didn't know what I said wrong.

"Zhiyao." Yan Ze pulled Qin Zhiyao's hand at a loss.

"Huh?" Qin Zhiyao responded softly, looking up at Yan Ze.

Qin Zhiyao only reached Yan Ze's chest, and when standing side by side, he had to look up to see his face.

The cubs were lying on the ground in twos and threes, not knowing what they were doing. Qin Zhiyao and Yan Ze had to look at the ground all the time when they were walking, and if they accidentally stepped on a ball of fur, they would let out a shrill scream.

Yan Ze didn't care to look at his feet, and said anxiously: "Did I say something wrong?"

Before Qin Zhiyao could reply, he heard a scream from under his feet, his heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Yan Ze back a few steps.

An unlucky baby was stepped on by Yan Ze on the golden belly, waving its paws on all fours.

"Aww!" Xiao Wu straightened up and rolled over, hopping and running to Qin Zhiyao's feet, stood up and begged for a hug.

Qin Zhiyao quickly bent down to pick up the child, rubbed his stomach distressedly, and gently coaxed him.

Yan Ze felt that he was forgotten, his tail drooped weakly, and his ears were raised limply.

Qin Zhiyao was sure that the child was fine, so he casually glanced at Yan Ze and asked, "What's wrong? A Ze."

Qin Zhiyao's expression was not abnormal at all, the sadness that Yan Ze saw just now seemed to be an illusion, and he didn't know what to say, so he replied: "It's nothing."
