The freshly made mutton bone soup in the morning is still simmering in the stone pot next to the firepit, with only some wild ginger slices added to remove the fishy smell, but the smell of mutton is still a bit strong, and you don’t need to get close to smell it when you enter the house.

Ah Que couldn't help but move his nose. It was the first time he smelled such a strong smell of mutton soup. It was very different from the smell of barbecued meat that they casually roasted over fire. Song Wen scooped up a bowl of mutton soup with bones. The mutton soup was handed to him, and the bones were full of boiled mutton. As long as you use wooden chopsticks to pick it up, the pieces of meat will fall off the bones, and there is no need to tear it hard.

Ah Da wanted to call some other clansmen outside the house to drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm up his body, but Ah Que hadn’t completely relaxed his vigilance against Song Wen and the others, so he had to give up. He showed Ah Que how to drink soup from a wooden bowl , Ah Da himself was not very skilled in using wooden chopsticks, so he gave Ah Que his bone fork, so that he would not reach into the soup to grab it directly. It is not worthwhile to dirty the food and burn his hands.

The mutton soup also adds some chili powder made from millet pepper, which is only used to enhance the taste, but it will not make people feel too spicy. Ah Que has never eaten this kind of meat mixed with soup and water, even the mutton Saowei tasted as if it had become a rare delicacy.

After taking a sip, Ah Que's eyes lit up, and he buried his head and didn't have time to ask Ah Da about it. It was also the first time for Ah Da to drink mutton soup. Although his stomach was already swollen at the moment He was bulging, but he couldn't help licking the corners of his lips when he saw that Ah Que was eating deliciously, but he didn't scoop up another bowl to eat. Instead, he used a wooden spoon to add another bowl to Ah Que's wooden bowl. share.

Song Wen didn't feel sorry for a pot of mutton bone soup. Apart from the mutton bones, he had saved a lot of bird bones before, so he didn't have to worry about running out of it if he boiled it for a few days. Gradually, it began to increase in number. These river fish have been hungry for a whole winter, and as long as there is a little bait, they are easy to take the bait. Otherwise, Song Wen would not have asked Ah Da to demonstrate how he fished to his tribe just now.

Ah Que only drank two large bowls and stopped eating. He gnawed away the minced meat on the few pieces of lamb bones, and even the bones were crushed by Ah Que, sucking up the sweet bone marrow inside. No, Song Wenguang felt a toothache just listening to the "click" chewing sound.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few people watching him eagerly while eating, I'm afraid that Ah Que still didn't want to put down the meat-smelling bone, even though the bone was clean and there was no place to eat it, it would be okay for Yun to inhale the smell. OK

After Ah Que finished eating, several people continued to talk about the matter. Although it was only a meal, Ah Que also understood that Ah Da and these people did not go hungry anymore, which was better than when he was in the group. It would be much better for all food to be given priority to the fighters with combat effectiveness, and it seemed that these people did not dislike each other because Ah Da lost his claws.

"Where are you going? Do you have your own ethnic group?" Ah Que sighed secretly, but he was no longer persistent in trying to persuade Ah Da to come back.

"We just came from Beihai, and we haven't found a suitable place to stay yet." Song Wen poured Ah Que a cup of pine needle tea. The pine needles were picked from the evergreen pines they saw on the road. They also tied a few bundles of dried pine needles. The pine needles are used to kindle the fire, and the fresh green leaves are picked to make tea.

Pine needle tea is a bit bitter, but it will have a faint pine fragrance, which is much better than drinking plain water alone.

Ah Que took a sip curiously. Hearing this, he almost choked on the warm tea. He coughed a few times, and looked at the two young men in front of him, "You guys also came back from Beihai?"

Song Wen nodded. Just now Ah Que mentioned that there were members of the harpies who had just returned from Beihai. Song Wen guessed that what the other party was talking about was Ah Man.

Ah Que straightened his body, and his face became serious, "What's the situation in Beihai now? Is there any place suitable for living? Are there any other races there?"

The place of burial is in Beihai, no matter what kind of beastman they are, they want to go back to Beihai to have a look.

But in Song Wen's memory, apart from the severe cold of the ice and snow, the North Sea is an endless sea. In such a large area, there are not many islands where people can rest for a while. It is completely incomparable with the large land and forests of the South China .

Although Song Wen broke his shell in the North Sea, he didn't beautify the North Sea too much, and told Ah Que exactly what he saw. For the orcs who are used to hunting on land, Without land in the North Sea, it is almost equivalent to having no edible prey.

This also means that Beihai has long been completely different from the homeland they remember. Even if they do find a safe passage back to Beihai, there is no place for them to settle in Beihai.

Whether it was Ah Que or Ah Da who had already heard about the situation in Beihai, they couldn't help but look a little bit disappointed.

After all, Ah Que is the warrior leader of the Black Crow Clan, so he quickly shook off his melancholy and asked about the current situation, "Are you planning to settle down here? It's close to the Harpy Clan, they won't Then let the strange ethnic group settle down here."

"There are other races occupying the several prey-rich mountain cols nearby, and the forest is not safe. It's not warm spring yet, and those ferocious beasts haven't returned yet. It's not easy to find a suitable place."

Song Wen and Yi glanced at each other. They had discussed it several times before, but they couldn't find a particularly suitable place to stay. The flat grassland they passed before could accommodate snakes and turtles, but there was a swamp next to it. In winter, the mud in the swamp is frozen into hard soil, but once the permafrost thaws, there is a danger of sinking in accidentally, and there are many mosquitoes in the swamp, so it is not very suitable for them to live for a long time.

"We haven't found a suitable place to stay for the time being. I heard Ada mentioned the elder of your clan before. I heard that he knows a lot about Beihai. I wonder if we can visit him?" Song Wen sat down obediently. Fatty on the side, "We have to send Fatty back to the harpies. You said before that someone in their clan just came back from Beihai, and that should be our companion who came back with us. I don't know if you still listen Anything else with him?"

Ah Man has been away for too long and there is no other news, it is impossible for the few people not to worry.

"So many of you came back from Beihai together?"

"It's all thanks to the presence of the snake turtle. I'm afraid we can't cross the entire North Sea so easily with just a few of us."

This is also very shocking, but Ah really doesn't know much about Ah Man, and the person who met the Harpy clan when he was out hunting two days ago listened to him.

"I can take you to meet our elders, but you snake turtle cannot enter our territory."

Song Wen didn't force this point. The size of the snake tortoise is not suitable for walking through the dense forest. You can let the snake tortoise wait for them in the river. Don't worry about any danger it may encounter.

Ah Que touched his nose, as if he was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said hesitantly, "You asked Ah Da to fish before...can you let him teach us too?" He glanced at the clothes on several people's bodies He quickly added, "We can use animal skins to exchange with you." Although he was a little greedy for the animal skin clothes that they could wear on their bodies, Ah Que was not greedy. Food is more important.

Ah Que was still a little apprehensive after he finished speaking. Animal skins are of no use to their Black Crow Clan. Even if they don’t exchange them, they would just throw them away. Although they usually don’t need the skill of fishing, these river fish can save lives in winter. something.

This year, there are also a few weak old people in the clan who are unable to survive. Ah indeed knows that those old people secretly gave food to the cubs in the clan who have not been shelled for a long time. If they can eat a few mouthfuls of river fish, even if they are killed If the fishbone hurts the throat, at least his life can be saved.

Song Wen thought that Ah Que wanted to make some request, but teaching them how to fish is not a big deal. They even fish and eat the emperor penguin Ahen by himself. Now unless they catch a relatively large fish and need Song Wen's help to deal with it After a while, Ahen is already a self-sufficient emperor penguin, and there are still leftover river fish for Song Wen and the others to eat every day.

Ah Hen's favorite thing now is to fish and feed a few people. At the beginning, he could only catch one or two a day, which is considered a great harvest. There are also many types. One time, Ahen caught a huge river crab. If it was weighed, it would weigh more than ten catties. I don't know how the crabs in this river grow to be so big.

With Song Wen's approval, Ah Que was very happy, wishing to take Ah Da to learn the skill of fishing first, but this place is not far from their ethnic group, they have been out for a while, and they have to go back to the clan first Report a letter to the elders, lest people in the clan worry.

By the way, let Ah Da go back and have a look at the elders. It can be said that Ah Da grew up under the watchful eye of the elders. During the period when he disappeared, many people in the clan felt sad about it, and let them see the healthy Ah Da. Big, so that the clansmen can rest assured.

After making up his mind, Ah Que stood up, glanced at the still warm mutton bone soup next to him, and only drank two bowls of soup, but it made people feel warmer than drinking fresh deer blood before. But after all, it is food, and Ah Da is really embarrassed to eat and drink here without any scruples.

Seeing the greed in the other party's eyes, Song Wen couldn't help feeling amused, so he took out a few bamboo tubes and filled them with the leftover mutton bone soup and the rotting mutton inside. The mouth of the bamboo tubes was engraved with some spiral patterns , pinch it with a wooden lid, as long as you are careful, you don't have to worry about splashing out.

The bones are too big to fit in. Adding water to it and boiling it can still be used as water. This time, Ah Que did not refuse. Instead, he was very interested in those bamboo tubes. Bamboo grows in the place where they live. It never occurred to me that this bamboo could have such uses.

He grinned happily, and became more enthusiastic towards Song Wen and the others, "Let me take you to the territory of our clan."
