Orcs through the age

Luo Lei is also worried about the current situation.I discussed with the high priest several times why this year's winter has not passed for so long, and I also went out to the Great Plains and the other side of the river several times to check.Every time he came back, the expression on his face became more serious.Occasionally, I went to the field with him to see how thick the frozen soil was, and we often got bad news.

Although everyone in the tribe didn't know what the high priest said, there was no restlessness for the time being.But occasionally, judging from everyone's attitude that they don't dare to say more, you can still feel everyone's uneasiness.

In January, the snow was still half a foot high. Sometimes when they woke up in the morning, as soon as they opened the door, they could even see the snow collapsed from the door into the house.In previous years, the snow could be melted until February. Now, looking from the gate of the tribe, the great plain is still a piece of white and yellow. If you go out to the plain outside, it is easy to slip.

From December to January, every day, everyone can see that the trees on the mountains behind the tribe are broken or inclined, and the forests they see change every day.Several trees left in the tribe were also broken. Fortunately, everyone was in the house and no one was hurt, but it was enough to make people shudder.

I originally planned to start planting soybeans at the beginning of March this year, so that we can have enough time to plant rapeseed, barley, wheat, potatoes, cotton and sweet potatoes in sequence, and stagger the planting time, but according to the current situation, it is completely impossible.

February is about to pass, and the current land has not thawed, let alone digging.Even if we forcibly plow the ground, it will be a question of whether the seeds planted will survive.

If the planting of this season is delayed, and it is delayed until later, I am afraid that there will be insufficient rain or insufficient rain, and next year's harvest will be a problem.

Seeing Luo Lei's increasingly anxious face and the disturbed appearance of the two children in the family, I began to consider whether to raise seedlings.

In fact, I don't know much about seedlings, and modern seedlings use greenhouses and mulch. It is impossible to build greenhouses here, and it is impossible to have mulch.

What can be used is primitive means, and for these, in addition to finding suitable tools, natural conditions are also very important.

I started to look for dry ferns in the back mountains. It turned out that many of the dried ferns were used as firewood. In fact, the dried ferns also have another function, which is to keep warm and moisturize.In the countryside, in the past, a layer of dead fern leaves would be spread on top of onions and calculations at home.Of course, practical hay is also fine, but hay is not something that we can use casually for us now.We don't know how long this weather will last, nor whether we will have enough hay, which must be used sparingly.

Luo Lei was very worried about my going to the back mountain.He was always worried about whether the tree would fall on my head or something.

Although I don't believe that I will be so unlucky, but he is willing to follow me, I am still very happy.Just in winter, we don’t have so many things to do. Someone helps me carry a bamboo basket and follows me carefully to watch my every move. I still benefit from it.

I really wanted to mobilize everyone in the clan to collect dead fern leaves.However, if I can't tell why, or if my experiments don't work, I don't feel like laboring too much.So the initial collection work is still done by me and Luo Lei.As for feeding those animals at home, it fell on Rona.

Fortunately, there are not many dead fern leaves needed for the experiment. After a few days of collecting, we collected enough dead fern leaves.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather in early March, although the permafrost layer in the ground is still relatively thick, it is not suitable for sowing.I still boiled almost hot water, put the hot water in cold water again, let the hot water cool down to room temperature quickly, soaked some of the canola seeds left at home in this active water for one night, and planted them in In the wooden seedling tray I asked Roy to make.

The seedling trays we made are not as exquisite and easy to use as modern plastic seedling trays. They are just a wooden basin with a smaller wooden tray with many holes drilled on it.It took Luo Lei a lot of time just to drill these holes.

After the seedling tray is ready, I now spread a layer of loose loam soil dug in the backyard on the seedling tray, then put the soaked rapeseeds into the seedling tray, and then spread another layer of loam soil on the bottom one The large seedling tray without holes is also covered with soil about a few centimeters thick.Just digging the rich soil made Luo Lei very tired, because the permafrost layer is still relatively thick. It is difficult for me to dig with the hoes and other things we made. It took a lot of effort to dig. Not much was found, and it would be easier to dig after burning a fire on it, but it would consume a lot of firewood, which is not realistic.So Luo Lei almost used a lot of strength to dig out enough soil for our three seedling trays.However, as soon as I said I was coming, Luo Lei hurriedly stopped me, which also moved me a lot and hoped that this experiment would be successful.

After planting the soaked rape seeds into the seedling tray, I spread a layer of dried fern leaves on top, and then watered them thoroughly.

Every morning, the first thing I do is to see what the weather is like today, and then when the sun comes up and the temperature rises, I move the seedling tray out to bask in the sun.After the sun went down, I hurried home and moved the seedling tray into the hall.

In mid-March, the permafrost layer had already thinned significantly. Although no grass sprouts had emerged yet, it was time to start plowing the ground.However, this is also about a month later than last year.I don't know what the harvest will be like this year.

At the end of March, we finally planted soybeans in the ground.But fortunately, in mid-March, the rapeseed I raised seedlings also sprouted.I also mobilized the people of the clan to start seedling treatment of barley and wheat.

Although soybeans and rapeseed were planted about a month late, but fortunately, barley and wheat still caught up with the planting time.

It's just that during this time, everyone is really exhausted.There is also a rush to grow soybeans and rapeseed, and to breed barley and wheat. Everyone wishes they could have a few people.But being able to make up for everything, everyone was relieved.

Since no grass sprouts emerged until March, there were almost no bison and wild sheep in the vicinity, and it was not known where they hid.Although we still stored meat last year according to the needs of previous years, because we still have barley and wheat flour, everyone can cook wheat glutinous rice cakes, wheat porridge, etc., which can also fill the stomach, and there is no private matter due to hunger as in previous years. , Even, the clan killed rabbits several times, and everyone got half a rabbit.You can also eat fresh meat in winter. Even if the winter is extended for a month, everyone will be full. It also makes everyone feel the importance of our planting and breeding.

In February, the aquariums from our lower reaches came to our group to borrow food, saying that their reserves had been exhausted, and the river water had not yet melted, so they came to borrow some food. After the river water thawed, they were willing to double The fish came back to us.

Although I think lending them food is nothing more than raising a group of guys who don't know whether they are friends or foes.However, in view of the fact that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, it is the principle to prevent rabbits from biting people in a hurry.After discussion among the clan, we still fished out all the larger fish from our own ponds and asked them to take them back.

Because it is a pond dug by myself, the water is not very deep, and the ice is not so thick compared to the ice in the river.And the difference between us and the aquarium is that we don't go into the water to catch fish.

Luo Lei brought a dozen or so males and weaved a large net. He came to collect the net several times, and probably collected about [-] catties of fish.There are only less than seventy people in their clan, and each person eats an average of ten catties of fish a day, excluding the bones, which is enough for them to eat for ten days.And now is a difficult time, everyone should be more frugal, and it is estimated that there will be more than [-] days to eat.

The Shui people also saw it. We have already given them all the fish in the family, so there is nothing much to say.Just amazed at the fact that we dug our own ponds to raise fish, planted and farmed.

However, although they were surprised, they didn't ask any more questions.Even if they asked, no one in the clan would tell them.

In March, we almost didn't expect the aquarium to return our food, and we didn't care.After all, their main food is fish.But our main food is meat.Even if they gave us double the fish, it would be icing on the cake for us.And when we lent them fish, it was a timely gift.

Moreover, the river water had just thawed in March, so we didn't even know if they had enough to eat. As for them returning the fish, we were not in a hurry.

What we didn't expect was that in mid-March, when the climate was slightly warmer, the aquarium had already sent people to give us fish.

Although it is once every two days, not many times, but they did say that they will return us with twice the amount of fish as agreed, and thank us for our help.

Although everyone in the clan thinks that what they borrowed is only seven thousand catties of fish, they just need to return the amount they borrowed to us, and their life is more difficult than ours, which is enough to show the kindness of everyone in the clan.But for me, it doesn't matter to me that they come back twice.After all, what they borrowed was live fish, and what they are returning now is dead fish.This is different.

Live fish are in our ponds, we can eat them whenever we want, and there is no rush to kill them, they can thrive in the ponds.For dead fish, we can only make it into dried fish or eat it directly by grilling it. In fact, it is even more uneconomical for us.Although, I have already planned to catch some fish and put them in the clan's pond when the weather is better.Fully prepared, no matter when you are always prepared.

However, for such cold weather, the aquariums that have gone into the water to fish to survive and strictly abide by the agreement, my impression of them is a little better.

It's just that March has just passed, and at the beginning of April, when we were busy transplanting wheat, we saw that Shui man who was in charge of escorting the food returned to us came to our gate in a state of embarrassment, and this time, he Instead of bringing the clansman who returned the fish to us, he was alone in ragged clothes, tired and anxious...

Extra episode [-]: Something Arnold doesn’t want to mention

This is the first time they share the same bed, even A Nuo himself can't remember it.It seems that he has not been here long?It seems to be very far away.He couldn't remember.

When did it start?Living together so naturally, and then living together so naturally, falling asleep with such a hug, warm, soft, and addictive.

I vaguely remember that every winter here is spent like this, in Luo Lei's arms, warm and peaceful, relying on the warmth he gives, in such a cold but scarce winter, to spend every thought Waking up at night with teeth chattering.

This winter is still cold.However, since a few days ago, Arnold drove out the big warm stove.The reason is very simple, the intention is wrong!

Arnold lay on his own, listening to the soft knock on the door.It is definitely not the two sons who will knock on the door at this time, because the two sons said goodbye to themselves after dinner, and then hid in the room. The atmosphere at home these days is weird, and the two sons are After eating, I washed my face and rinsed my mouth, said goodbye to my father and mother, and went back to my room to sleep honestly.

The voice outside the door knocking lightly, with a bit of grievance, a bit of pleading, and a bit of coquettishness calling "Arnuo, Arnold" was so familiar that Arnold didn't even think of getting up to take a look. No.

A Nuo can't remember when he started calling him A Nuo, and he always remembers his name.But what's the use?There will be no more calls here.That name, the people who used to call it were not intimate, but now, that name has nothing to do with me.What does it feel like?sad?emotion?Relax?Nothing, just a kind of loss, a kind of loss that doesn't know how to think.

Maybe, it was too cold today, so cold that I even forgot to think, just listening to the voice calling myself outside the door, as if, that was all I had in this world.

What kind of idiot is that idiot who gave himself a lifetime promise just because of a little warmth?What kind of person is this person who endured for two years because of his incompatibility and his "too young"?What kind of person should be who is considerate of a tired self, who only massages himself, but resists himself to take a cold shower?

Why, always, still a little at a loss?What exactly do you have to do before you are willing to surrender yourself?

After a while, the knocking on the door finally stopped, and Arnold finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although sometimes Luo Lei would knock on the door on purpose, but since he told him last time, he will not do so anymore .

However, if he sat at the door until dawn like a few days ago, the weather would definitely be unbearable, which made Arnold a little worried.But when he thought of the consequences of his coming in, Arnold was a little unsure about paying attention.Although he has already agreed, but when things come to an end, those who should retreat will still be beaten.

As time passed, it became more and more calm outside the door. Lying on the bed, Arnold also felt a little chilly all over, maybe because the big natural heater was not around.

Outside the window, there was the sound of falling snow, which made people feel even colder.This is the second heavy snowfall this year. The icicles hanging from the eaves are more than a foot long and two fingers thick. Occasionally, they are blown by the wind and fall into the snow, just like a sharp knife inserted into the ground, making a squeak. The sound, if you accidentally fall on your body, it will definitely hurt you and grin your teeth.

In such a cold day, if that guy is really waiting outside the door again... Thinking of this, A Nuo's face turned blue.

When I was hesitating whether to go to see it, my feet were already involuntarily put on fur slippers made of long-haired rabbits.

Standing at the door was a man holding a pot of burning firewood in a pottery pot. Although there were not many expressions on his face, the gentle angle of the corners of his mouth and the gentleness in his eyes were still so obvious.

Seeing the door opened, he stopped the hand that was about to knock on the door, and looked helplessly at the man who was half a head shorter than himself, gentle, but somewhat sad and helpless, as if he was helpless: "I just want to call you Take the brazier in, it’s too cold today. You’re afraid of the cold.” Then, as if remembering something, she moved the corners of her mouth to herself, as if she wanted to show a smile, but she still pulled her face out of habit, and held her hands He handed over the brazier inside: "I won't go in, you carry it in by yourself and sleep well."

It's just such a man, and it's such a warmth that I can't refuse it.This kind of gentleness that doesn't know why, makes oneself don't know what to do.A few days ago, when it didn’t snow, he still stayed at the door, obviously... Unable to bear it, A Nuo tilted his head slightly, and smiled, "Aren't you going to keep guarding the door today?"

The man was a little strange, "Huh?"

Seeing his stupid look, A Nuo wanted to laugh, but he just looked at the situation and held back.

The man is not really an idiot, he stammered and explained: "No, Arnold, I am not unwilling to guard, I am at the door, you can't sleep, it's too cold today, you should sleep well, don't catch a cold. I'm sorry, Arno, I..."

A Nuo wanted to laugh even more if he said sorry or something. This kind of thing is nothing more than two fools who are willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. Where is the little one?"

The two small ones generally don't have a door bolt, just push the door open.Therefore, Luo Lei can send them a brazier first.Sure enough, Luo Lei nodded: "I went to add blankets to them just now. They were all asleep, and I didn't dare to put the brazier on for fear of burning too much. Adding blankets should be fine, just because Ari kicked the quilt ..."

A Nuo nodded, indicating that he knew, "If Ari kicks the quilt, Rona will cover him when he finds out." He turned and went back to the room.

Seeing that A Nuo was lying on the bed again and looking at the brazier in his hand, Luo Lei didn't understand what A Nuo meant.

Sometimes it's like this, I care too much about it, but I don't know what to do, and I just do stupid things!

A Nuo looked at Luo Lei who was standing at the door with a brazier in his hand, he couldn't help but blinked and laughed: "Aren't you going to sleep? It's very cold today."

In this case, for Arnold, it was already the limit. For Luo Lei, why didn't he understand the meaning of Arnold's actions and words.

Holding the brazier, put the brazier under the bed on the side closer to Arnold, and cover it with a larger pottery pot to prevent the fire from getting on the ground or animal skins, but the heat is still ok pass it on.He just lay on the side of Arnold's back, hugging the body that he hadn't touched for several days.

When Arnold turned around, Roy was flattered.

Looking at A Nuo's drooping eyebrows and his face that was fairer and clearer than before, and holding this person who has become more gentle and calm over the past two years, Luo Lei couldn't help but lowered his head and gently Kissed Xiao Xiangzheng's lips...

The slightly itchy sensation brought about by careful touching and pecking made Arnold shiver a little. He had already turned around to face Luo Lei's body, but he struggled eagerly to turn back.His brows also began to wrinkle slightly. Although he didn't speak, it could be seen that he was trying his best to endure.

Although Luo Lei also wanted to love this partner who was eight years younger than him, but he also understood that if there hadn't been this first time, then the next time would never be.

Who knows better than myself that this little friend of mine seems soft and easy-going, and doesn't seem to care about anything, but who knows that it's actually because he doesn't care about anything?All he cares about is probably to live a good life and live a good life without any worries.

At the beginning, he actually didn't care about himself, it should be said that he didn't care about anyone else except himself.He doesn't care who betrayed him, doesn't care who loves him, he just lives like that, living in his own needs, himself, everyone, is nothing to him...

I don't remember when it started, I started to rely on him.Yes, dependence, although it is a bit ridiculous to say.But in fact, who can realize their dependence on him?Dependence of a male on a female?No, maybe, it's a person's longing and admiration for a height that he can't reach.

I still remember how thin and quiet he was when he was young. He wanted to hide when he saw everyone, and he did what he was told to do. I never saw him take the initiative to do anything.At that time, he was still his younger brother's engagement partner.But no one expected that such a person, in despair, would dare to run to the river and jump into the river.At that time, I was not without pity for him.But I also remember that when he saw himself once, he ran away screaming.

He really started to notice him because he promised to be married to him. How could someone who didn't expect to run away screaming because he saw him washing his face have the guts to get married to him?So even if he agreed to Ah Mo's proposal, it was just to fulfill Luo Lie's stupidity and ignorance, and it was just to make Abba and Ah Mo feel at ease.When I heard that he also agreed, I was also surprised, and even went to see it quietly.

The scene I saw at that time has probably been deeply imprinted in my mind.That Arnold, who can hardly do east without being called, dragged his still weak body, hummed an incomprehensible tone, and carefully picked wood behind the tent. After entering the tent, he continued to do it without stopping wearing something.

At that time, it was not without suspicion, because this kind of Arnold was really unexpected!However, this kind of A Nuo, who has experienced the passing of Abba and Ah Mo, lived alone, and has been thrown into water, maybe, he should think about it, otherwise, how can this world be suitable for his existence?

Seeing A Nuo cheering up, besides being happy for him, in fact, in his heart, he was also somewhat happy for himself, although it was impossible to thank Luo Lie for this matter.But to a certain extent, it is also because of the blow he gave Arnold that Arnold matured and began to work hard to live for himself.

Seeing that he can only get a little food every day, seeing his small body, which seems to be blown away when the wind is stronger, and now that he is also my future partner, I finally decided to send him some food every day.Although I don't have much food, for me, there is not much difference if I eat more or less, but for him, if he can eat more, he will be full.

However, no matter what happened at the time, who would have thought that this kind of Anuo would also lead his tribe to establish a new tribe, so that everyone in the tribe could have enough food and wear new clothes?

Although, he is no longer that Arnold...

Perhaps it was because the kissing and touching made Arnold unbearable, and he began to refuse. Luo Lei woke up from the memory and couldn't help but want to laugh—although he really wanted to push himself away, but this lovely partner, for his promise , still trying to endure.

Seeing his slightly squinted eyes, slightly frowning brows, slightly pursed mouth reluctantly, and slightly swollen cheeks due to emotions, Luo Lei thought it was cute no matter how he looked at it, and couldn't help but leaned down again He kissed the slightly pursed lips hard, in exchange for a more cautious refusal.

Only this time, Luo Lei has made up his mind not to let him escape!If this continues, I don't know what year and month it will be!Last time, when Bello heard that he was asking him this question, his eyes widened and he looked at him suspiciously!As for Sim Mu, just ask yourself if he is incompetent?Every time he saw the children of Bei Luo's family, saw Xin Mu's happy face, and saw himself kissing A Nuo's two adopted sons, Luo Lei felt like scratching his liver in his heart.

The delicate kiss, from the forehead to the eyelids, from the bridge of the nose to the chin, passed through the small trembling Adam's apple, and Luo Lei even took a small bite mischievously, which immediately made A Nuo's body tremble.

With his right hand, he grabbed Anuo's rejecting hands and pressed them tightly, and with his left hand, he set fire everywhere on his body. Luo Lei licked and kissed A Nuo's body time after time.From the two points on the chest to the sensitive belly button, little by little, as if to savor him carefully, he was reluctant to let go of every place.

Arnold panted, trembling from time to time and the strange feeling on his body made him want to push away the person on his body.But there is no way to refuse, there is absolutely no way.His hands stretched out and he couldn't escape from Luo Lei's right hand. At this time, he realized more deeply the difference in combat power between the two, and he also realized how unbearably Luo Lei endured for two years. easy……

Perhaps because of this thought, Arnold's refusal was no longer so obvious.Looking at Luo Lei who was putting soft kisses on his body, and seeing him teasing him carefully as if he were his own treasure, Arnold suddenly had a feeling of "that's it".

Although he had given up struggling, when he actually went in, Arnold's gasping sound due to the pain, and his hands clutching the animal skin on the bed still made Luo Lei feel a little distressed.

Every time he went in, Luo Lei stopped, kissed A Nuo's brow and eyes, and softly comforted him, "It's okay, it will be fine soon, it's okay."

Although he really wanted to refute, or let him try it himself, but seeing Luo Lei's worried and patient face, Arnold still held back the desire to complain, and instead reached out and grabbed Luo Lei's arm: " I'm fine... you... slow down... come in..."

Encouraged by Arnold, Luo Lei lovingly kissed his lover's forehead while slowly advancing...

By the time they got in, both of them were already dripping with sweat.

However, Arnold knew that Luo Lei was very happy.From his trembling kiss to himself, to his tender eyes that almost made people dare not look directly at him.This is probably the love of this man, Arnold thought.

When he really got used to it, Arnold looked at Luo Lei who was hesitantly observing him, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.Gritting his teeth, enduring the feeling of fullness in his lower body that became more and more obvious because of pulling Luo Lei's arm to do it, Arnold sat up and put his arms around the kneeling kneeling Luo Lei's shoulders.In this way, it became a scene of Luo Lei sitting on his knees and Arnold sitting on his lap.

Although the feeling in the lower body was more obvious, A Nuo still endured the feeling of not knowing what it was, buried his face in Luo Lei's arms, and said softly: "You... move..."

Like a demon, Luo Lei looked at the blushing cheeks in his arms, maybe because of the heat, there was a little thin sweat on his forehead and body, and his usually stubborn, occasionally wicked face seemed a little weak at the moment, but it made people feel uncomfortable. Can't help but feel distressed.

When he twitched lightly, he could be seen trying his best to endure, not wanting to make any sound.Luo Lei couldn't help biting his earlobe: "It's okay, Arnold, it's okay..."

It's just that such consolation did not receive any response.Arnold just tried to straighten up, resting his head on Luo Lei's shoulder, wrapping his hands tightly around Luo Lei's shoulder, preventing Luo Lei from seeing any of his expressions...

But such a shy and evasive attitude made Luo Lei even more excited.If it weren't for worrying that this was the first time, Luo Lei tried his best to tell himself to be patient, not to hurt Arnold, and he didn't know what would happen the next day.

But even so, when Luo Lei was released in A Nuo's body, A Nuo had already passed out.

He looked at the bruises on A Nuo's body with some pity, and Luo Lei actually felt a little regretful.I found a piece of cotton cloth, wiped it carefully for A Nuo, put on another set of cotton pajamas, replaced the animal skin on the bed, put A Nuo on the couch back into the quilt, and gave A Nuo another set of pajamas. Replaced the brazier under the bed.It was only then that Luo Lei lay down by himself, holding A Nuo in his arms who had been asleep for a while.

Looking at the frowning and uncomfortable face of the person in his arms, Luo Lei felt unspeakably distressed, and couldn't help but kissed him several times, but it was probably because of some itching and being caught. Arno waved his hand several times.

Seeing that he didn't even wake up, but pouted, with an expression of "I'm not happy, don't touch me", Luo Lei involuntarily bent his mouth, pressed him into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep go……
