Transcending Orc Country

"So, I am very surprised that you have adapted to life here so quickly..."

Bai Hao's house was built in only one week: three large stone houses with vaulted roofs, the east and west two are bedrooms, the middle one is the living room, the kitchen and the dining room; The eye part of the shell that the krue worm casts off is used as window glass.When Celia suggested that Rachel take Bai Hao to see the shell of the Krull bug, Bai Hao was very surprised. He had never seen such a huge... Cicada monkey... The shell of the Kru worm was very big. Crisp, but the eyes are very hard, but luckily Bai Hao has a waist knife.This advanced weapon is so magical and easy to use in this primitive tribe.Rachel once studied it for a long time, and almost cut off her nails.The cut shell is glued to the window opening with a kind of glue made from vines, which looks very beautiful.

The door of the room is tied with bamboo, covered with a piece of animal skin, and inlaid on the door opening using the principle of a rotating shaft. Except that it will be a bit laborious to push and pull, it will definitely be safer and warmer than when only a piece of animal skin covered the door before.The small house I used to live in was converted into an independent kitchen, and a separate stove was built for daily use, otherwise it would be very difficult to use the kang stove in summer.

Bai Hao was packing up his new home with Ou Xiaojing, and Celia also came to help. The two chatted, and the topics basically revolved around this strange world.

Celia just shrugged her shoulders to Bai Hao's complaints: "If you come here on the first day and find that you are not you, and you have a big belly, I guess you will adapt faster than me."

Bai Hao didn't make any answer, after all, he had no experience in encountering such things [Well, no one has such experience, okay? ], and winter is coming, the orcs began to actively prepare food for the winter.

Piles of meat are placed at the door, all cleaned and torn into small pieces, the female orc only needs to marinate the meat and dry it.Bai Hao heard from Celia that the winter here is very long, and it takes three to four months for the snow to fall.He doesn't want to live on meat every day. Unbalanced nutrition is the easiest way to get sick.

Bai Hao discussed with Celia, and then called Shelley.After all, Shelley is the pharmacist here, and he is quite familiar with various edible plants.

Shelley listed the leaf plants, rhizome plants and fruit plants that can be eaten at this time, and then frowned and said that these things are not good for winter, and the leaf plants are easy to dry out or rot.The same is true for rhizomes, which will germinate after a period of time, and even if they don't germinate, they will become moldy.Not to mention the fruit, the fruit without moisture is extremely easy to rot, unless it is made into jam, it cannot be stored.

Bai Hao had a calculation in his mind: his task this year is very important, now that he has a house, living is basically settled.But people live in the world with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is still not enough to solve only one living.He had to store firewood, and he had to store vegetables.

Bai Hao's hometown is in the north. In addition to using the refrigerator to store vegetables in winter, there is another more popular method, which is the cellar.

After tidying up the room, Bai Hao found a few pieces of hard animal bones that could be used as shovels, and began to dig a cellar behind his house.

Digging the cellar was an easy job for Bai Hao. Although his move made Celia and Shelley very curious, he would help.For Celia, Bai Hao, who knows everything, is basically the guy who opened the golden finger, follow him, and have meat to eat.Shelley was curious, because he also wanted to know what the purpose of digging such a big hole was.

"Is there no vegetable cellar in the south?" Bai Hao asked while digging.

"No, I haven't seen it anyway... But I've heard that this thing is used to store vegetables, right? But there is no shortage of vegetables all year round in our place. When I first came, eating meat every day was quite embarrassing. But do you know of a way to keep all the vegetables?" Celia had stopped doing physical work for a few days, and was panting from exhaustion at the moment.

Bai Hao expressed his thoughts: "This cellar can store leaf vegetables and root vegetables, as well as some fruits. Moreover, many root vegetables can be dried and stored, which is more convenient for storage."

"Oh, that's great, so we can have vegetables to eat in winter!!" Celia excitedly translated Bai Hao's words to Shelley, and Shelley was also very happy: "Then let Bai Hao teach us how to make this dish!" Let’s cellar, and store more vegetables. It’s really bad to always eat meat in winter, and many children are particularly prone to illness in winter, but there is nothing good for them to eat.”

The vegetable cellar was dug quickly. Bai Hao used the broken stones left over from building the house to level the floor of the vegetable cellar, and spread a layer of straw mats. The vegetable cellar mouth was sealed with branches and straw mats, leaving only one that could Let a person go up and down the hole.Because there is no ladder, Bai Hao built a stone ladder inside to make it easier to go up and down.

When the orcs came back from hunting, Shelley told everyone about Bai Hao's thoughts, and they got a response.Because of their good night vision, the orcs dug vegetable cellars behind their houses one after another after eating, and asked Bai Hao for advice on what they didn't understand, and kept Bai Hao busy.

Rachel followed Bai Hao silently, watched him busy, and then silently exuded an aura that strangers should not get close to, indicating that this female is my favorite, and others should not think about it.It's a pity that the person involved was completely out of shape. After the embarrassing relationship that day, Bai Hao completely blacklisted Rachel for his own safety.

Under Bai Hao's guidance, all the vegetables and fruits for the winter were moved into the vegetable cellar. Bai Hao also taught the female orcs to dry the fruits in the sun.And he found several root plants that tasted like sweet potatoes, and he was very happy. As a result, a lot of dried sweet potatoes were dried in the square, and the females sat on the side knitting sweaters, taking care that the dried sweet potatoes would not be stolen by some small animals. Walk.

Ou Xiaojing hangs out with Beata every day, especially now that the adults are so busy that they have no time to take care of these children. The female runs off into the forest to explore.

Ou Xiaojing and Beatt were playing in the forest, and they often went home to pick up things: vines that twisted when broken, bugs with two unknown heads, fruits that looked bright but were inedible... …they even dug a bear rabbit’s nest and brought back several fluffy little bear rabbits.

Originally, Bai Hao thought that he wanted to raise a rabbit, but who knew that Ou Xiaojing hugged the little rabbit and said excitedly, "Bring it up and eat it!"

Bai Hao instantly felt that the child had been assimilated by the orcs...

A nest was built outside the wall next to the heated kang, and the little rabbit was put in it.The current little bear rabbit is only the size of a palm, but it is estimated that it will not be long before this nest will not be able to fit them. When he thinks that this cute little thing will grow to be as big as a pig, Bai Hao has the urge to think of a cow .

When Bai Hao found out about this incident, he was extremely nervous. He was afraid that something would happen to Ou Xiaojing. Rachel comforted him with a smile: "Beate has reached the age where he can go out to hunt and experience, and they are just playing at the edge of the forest." , it's okay, don't worry..."

In the past two months since moving into the tribe, Bai Hao has been running his brain at super speed to tap his learning potential, he has learned the orc language a lot, and now he can listen to it, but it is still a little difficult to express it: " That doesn't work either... Ou Xiaojing is different from you... In case something happens..." The more anxious he became, the more he couldn't organize his words, which made Bai Hao's face turn red.

Rachel chuckled, and brushed Bai Hao's half-length hair behind her ears: "They're too big to protect them all the time, and they'll be responsible for the females they bring out." , You don’t have to worry about that.” It feels so good to be able to communicate, and Rachel can’t wait to instill in Bai Hao’s side the awareness that he likes him to be his partner every day.

Bai Hao quickly stepped back, this Rachel was too rascal, he told him clearly that I don't like men no matter in words or actions, why didn't he give up or give up? ? ?It's not that there are no other females in the tribe, why are you chasing after your own butt every day? ?

As long as Bai Hao thinks about what will happen if he nods his head, he will feel pain in his chrysanthemum... Wrong, not only his chrysanthemum hurts, but his whole body hurts!

But Rachel's words also made Bai Hao feel relieved. After all, this place is no different from when he was before. The children here grew up in this kind of environment, so they naturally know a lot better than the children who grew up in the city.But Bai Hao's repeated orders say that he is not allowed to pick up things at home. If his hands are itchy, he can pick up firewood for me, and he can also shoot rabbit grass!

With this kind of legitimate reason, Ou Xiaojing ran out even more happily.

Winter seems to come overnight.

After a night of north wind, the next morning, snowflakes fluttered down.

Celia, who rarely saw snow, had fun in the snow for a while, and was dragged back to the hut by Aslan.

Bai Hao stocked up a lot of firewood, put some in the room, and piled up two piles behind the house.At this time, he started to burn the kang to make the room warm.

A large earthen pot was placed on the stove, and diced sweet potatoes and various unnamed grains were boiled, and some fresh and tender vegetables were mixed in a small earthen pot.

Just before dawn, Beat came to ask Ou Xiaojing to go out to play, wrapped her child in clothes made of animal skins, and then let the bear-like Ou Xiaojing out.

The square is now filled with the laughter and cries of children.

Snow in winter is a bad day for adults to get food, but for children, it is a good day to play happily.Bai Hao doesn't stop his children from going out to play in this cold weather. For him, this kind of weather can just exercise their children's body, which is much better than staying at home.
