The fairyland of crossing

It was the first time for Chu Jin to see little orcs, and he couldn't help but think of those spirit beasts in the cultivation world. Those spirit beasts were all enlightened, and although they couldn't transform themselves into human forms, they were all able to speak.

Crouching down, Chu Jin stretched out her hand, and "tsk tsk" twice at the little orc, like teasing a kitten or a puppy.

The little orc looked at him, then approached cautiously, sniffed Chu Jin's hand, and then said in a childish voice after a long time: "Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't hit you on purpose."

Chu Jin smiled, touched the top of his head, and said, "It's okay. Do you live here?"

"Hmm." Seeing that Chu Jin was not angry, the little orc relaxed and asked, "Are you here to find my grandpa?"

"If your grandpa is someone who can make stone tools, then yes." Chu Jin felt that it was not difficult to communicate with the little orcs. Children are simple-minded, and they are easy to get along with if they have something to say.

"Well, my grandpa is very powerful!" The little orc raised his neck with a little confidence.

"Xu Zhu? Are you back?" An old voice came from the tent.

"Yes, I'm back." The little orc replied, "Grandpa, Brother Yashou is looking for you."

The tent was opened, and a serious-looking old orc walked out. The old orc had deep wrinkles on his forehead and eyes, and his body was a bit stooped, but he was in good spirits.

When the old orc saw Chu Jin, there was a moment of doubt in his eyes, and then he asked, "Are you the sub-beast that Su Heng picked up?"

"Yes, hello. I came here this time to ask you to help me make something." Chu Jin said.It seems that almost everything about him is known.

"Come in and sit down." Although the old orc didn't have a smile on his face and his attitude wasn't gentle, he didn't turn him away either.

Chu Jin nodded, and followed the old orc into the tent.

Xu Zhu also came in, the old orc looked at Xu Zhu, hugged him up, and asked, "Why are you injured again?"

Xu Zhu didn't speak, but buried his head in the old orc's arms.

Chu Jin guessed that Xu Zhu should have been hurt because of being bullied, otherwise she would have said it.

The old orc sighed, with some helplessness in his tone, he just said: "I left something for you to eat, let's eat first."

"En." Xu Zhu responded.After being put on the ground by the old orc, he walked to the corner of the tent, and there was a stone bowl with a small piece of raw meat in it.

Seeing such a small portion of dinner, Chu Jin frowned slightly, there is a reason why the little orc is so thin, and the portion is really too small.Although there were no children born in his generation in his family, he had seen quite a few children who ate much more than Xu Zhu.

Although she had doubts, Chu Jin didn't ask any more questions, but handed over the things she brought, and said, "I just arrived, and I don't know what to bring, please help me, Su Heng said that it would be better to bring some food , I packed some over here."

The old orc opened the big leaf and saw the large amount of meat and taro inside. He was taken aback for a moment, and then said very honestly: "You brought too many things."

Chu Jin didn't think there were too many things, he just cut the meat for one person, and he didn't know that there was a child in the old orc's house.

"More is better than less," Chu Jin said.

Xu Zhu smelled the smell of fresh meat, leaned over to smell it, then swallowed, returned to his small bowl, and continued to eat with his head down.

Chu Jin looked at Xu Zhu and asked, "Does he usually like to eat raw meat?"

"It's all right. But I'm not very good at cooking. I boil it with water at most. It doesn't make any difference." The old orc said, and then held up the heavy half piece of taro and asked, "This is it?"

"Oh, you can cut this into small pieces and cook it with the meat until it's soft. It's something that my former tribe often ate." Chu Jin said.He knew that many things were troublesome to explain, so he simply pushed them all to his original tribe that didn't exist at all.

The old orc nodded, put away the taro, and then cut another piece of meat and put it in Xu Zhu's bowl.

Xu Zhu looked up at the old orc.

The old orc slowed down and said, "There is a lot of meat today, so eat more."

"Grandpa eats too." Xu Zhu said.

"Okay." Although the old orc agreed, he still packed the things and put them in the haystack for storage.

After finishing all this, the old orc asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I would like to ask you to help me make some things for shoveling the soil." Chu Jin felt that it was difficult to explain clearly, so she took a wooden stick, went outside the tent, and drew a shovel on the dirt, thinking for a while, Added a sickle, with a sickle, it will be more convenient to cut plants.

These two things seemed novel to the old orc, but they seemed to be very useful.

"I haven't done this, but I can try it," said the old orc.

"Okay, if you are done, please send it to the tent for me. I will treat you and Xu Zhu to dinner." Now that there is no communication equipment, the most convenient way is to let the old orc prepare it and send it to him. To save him from always running this way.

"No, it was meant to be given away." The old orc obviously didn't want to take advantage of this.

Chu Jin smiled, didn't persuade her, got up and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"En." The old orc responded lightly.

Chu Jin got up and walked out of the tent, Xu Zhu also stopped eating, and sent Chu Jin out together with the old orc.

"Thank you for the food," said the old orc sincerely.

"You're welcome." Chu Jin looked at the stones piled up beside the tent, and said, "Actually, some things can be made of animal bones, which is more convenient and trouble-free. I think you should know more about the hardness of the animal bones here than I do. It must be easier to do.”

Chu Jin didn't have good intentions, but seeing the old orc and Xu Zhuwei's few food, and looking at the excessive workload of the millstone, he felt that it was too difficult for the old orc to live by this craft.Moreover, the old orc never said anything bad about Suheng from the beginning to the end, and he would bring up the extra food. He was obviously an upright old man, and Chu Jin felt that such a person should have a better life.

Hearing Chu Jin's suggestion, the old orc's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and began to ponder.

Chu Jin didn't say anything more, waved at Xu Zhu, and left.

Back at Qianlu's tent, Qianlu and Erxiang had already finished their meal and were talking to Suheng.The soup in the pot was still boiling, steaming.

"Are you back? Come and sit down." Er Xiang smiled at Chu Jin.

Chu Jin had a good impression of Er Xiang, so she sat down obediently.

"Xu Cang didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Er Xiang asked softly.

"No." Chu Jin guessed that the "Xu Cang" that Erxiang was talking about should be the old orc.

"That's good." Er Xiang said with a smile: "He just looks a little serious, but he's still a nice guy."

"Yeah." Chu Jin took a wooden spoon and stirred the bottom of the pot to prevent the taro from sinking to the bottom for too long and sticking to the pot, "I also saw a very cute little orc named Xu Zhu."

"Oh, Xu Zhu." Speaking of Xu Zhu, Er Xiang's expression became softer, and he said helplessly: "Xu Zhu is a very sensible child, but he is always bullied by some bad kids."

Chu Jin thought for a while and asked, "I don't think they have much food. If there is no group hunting in the rainy season, how will some people who cannot hunt get food?"

He also saw Xu Zhu's small bowl of pitifully scarce meat, and suddenly thought, in the snow season, they hunt collectively, and then they can distribute the food. What about the rainy season?If there is no collective hunting, how can families who cannot hunt live if they take care of their own families?

There was a brief silence in front of the tent, and finally Qianlu said: "Although there is no collective hunting during the rainy season, there will be small five-person hunting every two days, and the orcs go in rotation. But because there are few people, we cannot go to large-scale hunting. Therefore, only some small animals can be caught. And most of these prey will be taken away by the orcs who go hunting, and the rest will be distributed to orcs, cubs, celibate sub-beasts and Women's."

Er Xiang sighed slightly, and then said: "So it is very important to have an orc who can hunt in the family, at least he can bring back food. For example, there are only old and weak in the family, let alone the snow season, and the rainy season may also be hungry. For a few days, I can only eat leaves and the like."

Chu Jin looked at Su Heng, and Su Heng had never mentioned this kind of hunting with five people to him, probably because Su Heng had no part in this kind of matter, and Su Heng didn't know much about it.But no matter how many people go hunting, this way of food distribution is too harsh.But maybe most tribes are like this, this is also a law of survival of the fittest.But these old orcs had also made contributions to the tribe, and it would be unethical to fall into this position after they were old.

Thinking of this, Chu Jin laughed at herself in her heart—it must be too much to talk about morality with primitive tribes.

After the soup was finished, Chu Jin didn't continue the topic just now. After adding salt to taste, he removed the fire, filled a bowl for Er Xiang, and reminded Er Xiang that it was very hot, so she should be careful.

Er Xiang was much more patient than Su Heng, scooped up a piece of taro and blew it for a while before putting it into his mouth.Then I was instantly captured by the taste and texture.

"This is really delicious and easy to bite." Er Xiang looked at Chu Jin excitedly, "Thank you for bringing us such delicious food."

Chu Jin smiled and said, "Auntie is too polite."

Qian Lv himself filled a little bit, and after eating, he also looked excited - it seems that this time Suheng really picked up a treasure.

"Where is this? I want to get some more." Qianlv said.

"It's near the small lake where we often rest. I'll take you there another day." Su Heng said.

Chu Jin reminded: "Don't dig too much in one go, it will spoil after a long time. Just bring three or four back at a time." Waste is not a good habit.

"Okay, okay." Qianlu nodded immediately, and he didn't want to waste food, after all, food is very precious.

Er Xiang thought for a while, and asked Chu Jin cautiously: "Can I tell the people in the tribe about this? I think with this, everyone will be full."

Chu Jin didn't grow this stuff, and besides, they always eat it, and the people in the tribe will know about it sooner or later.It's better to take this opportunity to give Su Heng a reputation, let them eat people's mouths, and talk less about Su Heng behind his back in the future.

"Of course. But I just came here, and I don't know people well in the tribe, and I don't want to be too famous, so you just say that Su Heng found it. Just remember to remind them not to dig too much at once, or they may be buried next year." I can't eat anymore." Chu Jin laughed.

Maybe you can't see the hidden law, but Er Xiang is a sensible person, and knows that Chu Jin is helping Su Heng.Then he smiled kindly and said: "Okay, I understand. Good boy, it is the favor of the Beast God that Su Heng met you."

Chu Jin just smiled and didn't say anything modest.I don't know if Su Heng met him because of the favor of the beast god, but he was able to adapt to life here so quickly, and he didn't become too irritable and restless because he couldn't return to the cultivation world. There must be reasons for Su Heng. .

It was Su Heng who made him adapt to and accept the current life, even though his fathers were not in the body, he did not suffer any grievances.Moreover, Suheng's advantages are also very dazzling, which makes him like it very much, and he also devotes a large part of his attention to Suheng, so he doesn't have much time to worry about the matter of having no cultivation base, and he doesn't miss home very frequently. up.

After sitting for a while, it was already late, so Su Heng and Chu Jin got up and said goodbye to Er Xiang and Qian Lv, and walked back unhurriedly holding torches.

On the way, Chu Jin asked about Xu Cang again, "Where is Uncle Xu Cang's son? Why is he the only one raising Xu Zhu?"

"Xu Chong was bitten to death by a three-eyed beast in order to save the patriarch's son during a collective hunt in the snow season four years ago. Xu Chong is a very powerful orc. He has defeated many large beasts by himself, but he never thought he could escape that time. At that time, Xu Zhu was just born, and the day after Xu Zhu's mother heard the news, she left Xu Zhu and formed a partner with another orc." Speaking of this, Su Heng's voice became a little louder. very sad.

Chu Jin frowned, he couldn't imagine that a mother could be so cruel.

"In fact, this kind of thing is quite common. Orcs are dead or injured, and they can't hunt, so they don't have the same kind of food. Sub-beasts and women don't want to live such a life, so they find orcs who can hunt to form a new family and start A new life." Su Heng said.

Chu Jin frowned even tighter. Indeed, everyone has the right to choose their own life, but her husband's bones are not yet cold, and the child is still waiting to be fed. It is too much to simply throw them all away and marry another beastman. Bar……

But the way of life here is different from his previous one after all, so even if he disagrees, he just thinks about it in his heart and won't say anything.

"Do you like cubs?" Su Heng asked.

"I can't say I like it, but I can't say I hate it either. After all, I have hardly had any contact with cubs, but when I saw Xu Zhu today, I really thought it was cute, but he was too thin." Chu Jin said.

"Well, cubs without parents are actually very poor, and they are easily bullied." Su Heng bowed his head.

Chu Jin didn't know whether it was Su Heng's personal experience or emotion, but no matter what it was, it obviously didn't make Su Heng happy.

She reached out and patted Su Heng's shoulder, Chu Jin smiled and said, "Then let's take care of Xu Zhu's family more. If you like Xu Zhu, you can also play with him more. When he grows up, you can also play with him." You can teach him some hunting skills."

"Okay." Suheng nodded, and then said: "Do you know? Among the cubs in the tribe, Xu Zhu is the only one who is willing to talk to me. If he talks to me and other cubs see him, he will make fun of him." him, and then bullied him. But when he met me, he would still talk to me."

Chu Jin was also a little moved. Xu Zhu's kindness, caution, cowardice and cuteness should all have something to do with the environment in which he grew up.Life has taught this little beast too much, and many things he should never have to bear.Xu Cang might be powerless to teach Xu Zhu, but if Su Heng can teach him, he believes that even if Su Heng can't transform, he can teach Xu Zhu to be as brave as his father.

Holding Su Heng's hand, Chu Jin smiled and said, "Then I'll bring that little thing home for dinner tomorrow."

"Okay." Su Heng returned to hold Chu Jin's hand.

Chu Jin was taken aback for a moment by the force of the hand being held backwards. He went to hold Su Heng's hand, but it had no other meaning than to comfort Su Heng who was not in a good mood.But he doesn't hate being held backwards like this, so let's just leave it at that, anyway, it's dark and the road is narrow, so it's good to support each other.
