The fairyland of crossing

The fried things are relatively easy to store, Chu Jin packed some for Qian Lv and took them home, just in time for Er Xiang to taste them.

Qianlu didn't refuse either, and said with a smile that he would deal with the split-horned beast when he got back, and send half of it to Xu Zhujia.He had originally gone to pick lettuce this time, and he never expected to bring back prey.Although his family's food is not particularly sufficient, it is enough to last for a few days, and it will be wasted if left too much.

Xu Zhu thanked him obediently, saying that his grandfather went to dig taro and would not be back until later.

Qian Lv laughed and said that he would send it to them later that night.

As for the two jump-eared beasts, Chu Jin planned to keep one and make the other into meat strips, and everyone would share a share.

In the evening, Xu Cang came to pick up Xu Zhu.Xu Zhu hugged the things Chu Jin had packed for him, and happily went back with Xu Cang, chattering along the way to show Xu Cang his straw sandals, less quiet and more lively than usual.

Since Su Heng brought back lettuce, dinner naturally became meat wrapped in lettuce.

Sitting by the tent and having dinner, Chu Jin looked at the cloudless sky, feeling pretty good.It happened that an orc came to pick up a woman who was washing things by the river, and took the things in the woman's hands. The two walked back talking and laughing. Chu Jin asked, "Since when can your tribe beg companion?"

Su Heng didn't know why Chu Jin asked this suddenly, but he still replied: "Ordinary orcs can formally start asking for a partner, but the partner ceremony must be held after the estrus period, and the estrus period of ordinary orcs is at After the age of 20, only when you reach the estrous period can you be considered a real adult."

Chu Jin thought it was quite interesting, and said with a smile: "So you are still a cub now?"

Su Heng blushed slightly, and said, "No, it should be a quasi-adult orc."

Chu Jin laughed. He felt that this should be a title given to him by a beastman of Su Heng's age, which sounded different from that of a cub.

Suheng was even more embarrassed by his smile. In fact, he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't thought about this problem. He has been living alone, so he always feels that he is already an adult. It has nothing to do with whether he has sex or not. , is that he is already doing what an adult should do.As for Chu Jin asking such a question, Su Heng didn't find it strange, because different tribes have different regulations. He even heard that in some tribes, orcs do not become adults until they are 25 years old. Of course, they can find a partner before. That's it.

Chu Jin drank the taro lettuce soup in the bowl, and continued to ask: "When can sub-beasts and women find a partner?"

"It's fine when you arrive. The sub-beasts and women are considered adults." Su Heng said.He didn't know why the rules were different for the same tribe, but this was a rule handed down from the tribe, and he could only abide by it.

Chu Jin nodded, thinking that the tribe's recognition of adulthood is not too early, and it is quite appropriate.

"You...Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Su Heng suddenly realized this question. Chu Jin had never asked this question before. Could it be that Chu Jin has a favorite orc? !

"Just curious, just ask casually." Chu Jin smiled, he was really asking casually.

Su Heng looked at him incredulously, and after a long while, asked hesitantly, "You...do you have any orcs you like?"

Chu Jin realized in an instant what Suheng had been imagining, stretched out her hand and squeezed his face, dumbfounded, and said, "I'm going to go with you, how could there be a beastman I like."

Su Heng thought about the same thing, felt that he was thinking too much, scratched his hair in embarrassment, and didn't ask any more.

Chu Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Heng's being overhearted, he thought it was because Su Heng was too insecure, it wasn't Su Heng's fault, it was caused by his living environment.

In order to prevent Su Heng from overthinking, Chu Jin chatted with him about other things.

After the meal, Chu Jin poured Su Heng a glass of water.

Suheng drank the water in the bowl and said, "Why do I feel that the water is sweeter than before." He found out this afternoon, but he was playing with Xu Zhu all the time, so he didn't ask.

"Maybe the water quality of the river has improved." Chu Jin said.

Su Heng didn't doubt it either, anyway, he likes this little bit of sweetness, and drinking water has become a kind of enjoyment.

Suheng still does all the work of washing dishes.Chu Jin sat outside the tent, feeling a little stuffy.Looking up, there is no wind today, and the temperature at night is much higher than before, which makes people uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Su Heng took out the soft grass and soft vines, and prepared to weave two fans for cooling.He couldn't remember how long he hadn't used a fan. He bought a few folding fans in the past purely because they looked good or as gifts for his elders.

And weaving fans by himself is really a challenge for him, so he can only try it out, after all, it is not the same as weaving baskets and baskets, at least he has learned a little about baskets and baskets.

When Suheng came back from washing the dishes, he was already sweating profusely.

"It seems to be very hot today." Su Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky.It was not completely dark yet, but the cloudless sky seemed brighter than usual.

"Well, it's quite hot, you can take a bath when it gets dark, it will make you feel better." Chu Jin suggested.Although it is usually very hot, at most it is sweating, not to the point where you can sweat all over the pots and dishes.

"Okay." Since Chu Jin came, he loves cleaning more than before, and Chu Jin also cleaned up the tent, which made him feel ashamed to enter the tent without taking a shower.

Sitting next to Chu Jin, Su Heng asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Jin bent the shape of a fan with a soft rattan and said, "Make a fan, it's something that can fan the wind."

"Wouldn't it be better to use leaves?" Su Heng said.

"The leaves are too soft, and the wind from the fan is small." Chu Jin said.When it came to the issue of soft leaves, he suddenly felt that soft vines could not be used as a frame, otherwise the effect would be no different from that of leaves, and he should try using thin branches.

The two chatted without saying a word, and many people had already started to walk to the pool where they bathed, and they also started to discuss the issue of the hot weather.

This stuffy feeling is really uncomfortable.Chu Jin not only glanced at the haystack where the food was stored - if this continues, the food will spoil faster.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Jin was warmed up.

Getting up dizzy, as if she was about to suffer from heat stroke, Chu Jin quickly poured herself a bowl of water, and then gulped it down.The spring water was not affected by the outside temperature, it was still cool and sweet, making every pore of Chu Jin stretch out.After a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out on my body, the feeling of dizziness disappeared, and my body became lighter.

Chu Jin took a long breath, as expected of a spiritual spring, the effect of relieving the heat is really top-notch, it is really lucky to have such a piece of spring water in this kind of weather.

The sky had just turned pale, it was still early, and Chu Jin was no longer sleepy, so she sat on the edge of the tent and looked out.

The temperature this morning felt like it was almost noon, and it was more sweltering than last night.There was still no wind outside, and it seemed that even the chirping of birds in the morning had become less, and everything seemed extremely dull. If it wasn't for the spring water, he might not even want to eat.

There wasn't much spring water in the jars, and Suheng wouldn't wake up at this time, so Chu Jin gently picked up the two jars and went straight into the space.

The temperature in the space made him much more comfortable, but he couldn't stay for long, he went out after fetching water.

Not long after he went out, Su Heng was also woken up by the heat.

Seeing Su Heng's sweat dripping down his neck, Chu Jin poured him a bowl of water for him to drink first.

"Why is it so hot?" Su Heng propped his head in discomfort, took the water Su Heng handed him, and drank it quickly.

"Do you want more?" Chu Jin asked.

"Yes, yes." Su Heng nodded.

Chu Jin poured him another bowl.

After drinking the second bowl, Suheng broke out a layer of sweat at a speed visible to the naked eye, and felt a lot more comfortable, not as hot and uncomfortable as before.

Chu Jin put the jar aside and asked, "Will the tribe be this hot during the rainy season in previous years?"

Su Heng shook his head, and replied very puzzled: "No, it's usually as hot as the previous few days. I don't know what's going on today."

According to Su Heng, this kind of weather is indeed a bit abnormal.Chu Jin looked outside, there was no one moving around at this time, and I don't know how many people were heated up, but they didn't want to move at all like them.The heat in the rainy season here is hot, but it is not unacceptable, and it is not this kind of stuffy with heavy humidity, and there will be wind blowing.But today's hot method makes people want to stay in the water forever.

Without asking any more questions, Chu Jin took the things for making fans and continued to make them.If you don't have a fan on this kind of day, you won't have heatstroke?And he doesn't know if there is a cure for heat stroke here, if not, there will be problems!

After making it up for a while, Chu Jin started to make breakfast after it got brighter.He guessed that according to this situation, it would definitely be hotter at noon, so he might as well finish all three meals now and eat something cold by then.

Su Heng didn't let Chu Jin work alone, and offered to help.Two people are much faster than one.Chu Jin took advantage of this time to deep-fry the rest of the meat, at least it could be preserved better, otherwise the raw meat might go bad at night.

After the sun rose, more people came out to cook, and everyone was complaining about the hot weather. Cooking by the fire in this weather was simply torture.

There were also many people who got out of the tents and ran directly to the central area of ​​the tribe. Chu Jin vaguely heard that they were going to find the clan witch.

Chu Jin has never met the clan witch, but his impression of the clan witch is second only to the death of Suheng's parents.

"What do witches of your clan know?" Chu Jin asked Su Heng.In his opinion, the clan witch is a liar who knows nothing and can only fool people.

Su Heng ate the steamed taro in the bowl, and said: "The clan witches will sacrifice, they will record the major events that happened in the tribe, and they will also treat people."

The first two Chu Jins are fine to listen to, but it sounds like they are very powerful when they see a doctor.

"What illnesses have the clan witches cured?" Chu Jin asked.

Su Heng thought for a long time, and finally replied: "I can't say well."

Chu Jin: "..." This clan of witches is not really a liar, is it?

Suheng added: "General sore throats, coughs, etc., the clan witch can cure them. If you have a fever or a broken leg, the clan witch will give some medicine, and then say to see if the beast god will bless you. If you have a fever, you will be cured." If the animal god blesses them, they will recover, but if they are not blessed, they will die. Some people can still move after their limbs are severed, while others cannot move at all.

After hearing this, Chu Jin cursed inwardly, this clan of witches is just a liar, right? !Sore throat, cough and other colds, even if you don’t take medicine, will be relieved in a week. The cough will get better slowly, but there is a possibility of natural recovery.As for fever and bone fractures, he guessed that the medicine was of no use at all, and whether it could be cured was not dependent on the blessing of the beast god, but on luck.If you are lucky, the fever is not severe and does not turn into pneumonia. If you pay attention to physical cooling, there is a high chance that you will get better.A bone fracture depends on where it is broken. Anyway, the bone will definitely heal itself, but whether it will affect the movement after healing is another matter.

It is estimated that the only useful thing this tribe of witches did was to record tribal events. I don’t know if this tribe of witches really mastered all the characters. The liar played.Of course, the clan witches should use various methods that have been handed down from the long history of the tribe, but for such unreliable spread, Chu Jin can only say that since the day this tribe existed, it has been living in the tricks of liars.It's just that they don't feel it, and the clan witches themselves don't feel it. This is the sadness of ancient superstition, a kind of sadness that if you speak out, you will be regarded as a strange monster...
