Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

Chapter 25:

The rain has been getting heavier and heavier these days, and the thunder and lightning in the sky have no intention of stopping.The creek that flows through the tribe also overflows the embankment.The guru birds kept at Ernst's house didn't stop, waving their small meaty wings one by one, trying to jump out of the shed where they were kept.

It was night, Li Xia who had just had dinner looked at the purple sky and frowned.

After washing the dishes, Ernst saw his partner looked worried, and walked up a few steps to wrap him in his arms. "What are you worrying about?" The warm body in his arms made Ernst feel extremely satisfied.Ernst moved his hands to cover Lixia's shoulder sockets and massaged gently with his five fingers. He also learned two tricks when Lixia helped him massage his legs.

It is generally known that unusual colors of the sky, changes in water levels, and unusual animal behavior are precursors to earthquakes.Usually well water is the most intuitive.People summed up the proverb about the change of well water before the earthquake: "well water is a treasure, and the precursors come early. If there is no rain, the water quality is muddy, and the well water will rise in drought. The water level changes greatly, and the flowers will bubble. Some change color, some change taste. "But it's the rainy season on the Al mainland, and the continuous heavy rain will also cause the water level to rise.And the orcs in the tribe didn't seem to feel abnormal, they still went out hunting every day.Li Xia wasn't sure if his thoughts were true, but the color of the sky and the reaction of Gulu Bird really made him unable not to think of the earthquake.

Li Xia raised his hand and grabbed Ernst's hands that were moving on his shoulders. He thought it would be better to ask Ernst more carefully. "Ernst, it's raining too much. I always feel that something is wrong this day. Have you ever encountered such weather before?"

"The rainy season has always been like this, but this year it is indeed a bit heavier. This is not conducive to hunting." Listening to Li Xia, Ernst also felt that the rain was a bit heavy.The patriarch and the others brought back much less prey these days.Perhaps it was because the heavy rain reduced many hunting opportunities. I heard from Wag that the beasts were much more ferocious, and some orcs were injured.

Because Lixia was the first person in the wolf tribe to engage in breeding, so there is no way to know whether the abnormalities of the Gulu bird should be like this during the rainy season.But in line with the principle of precaution, Li Xia was still accompanied by Ernst to the patriarch's house.

"Earthquake?!" Patriarch Walter was both shocked and surprised.After all, he had never experienced an earthquake, and he couldn't empathize with the tragic scene that Li Xia, a traveler, knew.

Li Xia pursed his lips, and Bita stood beside Walter with a worried expression on his face, the corners of the animal fur coat were clenched tightly by his fingers.

"I can't say this well, it's just a feeling. Patriarch, you haven't seen a sky of this color. I asked Ernst and Suby, and they all said that this year's rain is too heavy. You also know me I raised a few gulu birds, which were fine before, but these days they behaved abnormally, and I think they usually only behave like this when they are in danger."

Li Xia paused for a moment, although the clansman gave him a bad impression, but if it was really an earthquake, he couldn't keep silent. "I think the patriarch should notify the clansmen and let them be more vigilant. If possible, the house should not sleep. I think the walls of many people's houses are cracked in such a heavy rain. If it is really an earthquake, the walls must collapse. It will hurt a lot of people."

However, Li Xia thought about it again.The rain is so heavy now, and there is no such developed things as camping tents in Al Continent. If they really make them all stay outside, not to mention the orcs, just the females can't bear it.Moreover, the earthquake was just his own thought, and it may not necessarily happen. "It's raining outside, so it's not impossible to stay in the house. If there are many people in the family, you can take turns to watch the night, so that if something happens, you can respond immediately."

Lixia stayed at the patriarch's house for a while and suggested that Wag and Buck go to Morinda's house to defend, and then asked Ernst to lead him to Molinda's house and gave some instructions before returning to his home.Li Xia didn't care about the reaction of the clansmen, the patriarch was there for everything.On the other hand, Molinda was staying there, and Subi was also staying there. Both of them were good friends of mine, so they could be relieved by notifying them in person.

Li Xia dug out a big bag of furs, picked up a few warm ones, wrapped them in Banzilong skins and put them next to the bed for emergencies.With the help of the burning fire in the room, Li Xia told Ernst about the several major earthquakes he knew about in China and the emergency knowledge about earthquakes. His voice gradually became smaller, and finally there was no sound.Ernst looked at his partner who was sleeping on his shoulder with his head biting, and he simply hugged him in his arms.After hearing what Li Xia said, Ernst decided to keep watch at night. After all, night is no better than day, so it's better to be more vigilant.

In the middle of the night, Li Xia was awakened by a series of earthquakes. He only felt as if he had just finished a roller coaster ride, and the scene in front of him shook violently.When he realized that the earthquake was coming, he was stunned.Ernst acted immediately, holding Lixia in one hand and the Banzilong skin bundle in the other, and rushed out of the room quickly.It was precisely because they were fast enough that they did not see the collapsed walls and beams following them.

The benefits of Al Continent were immediately apparent. This place is not a crowded city with groups of steel buildings standing in forests.Unlike a house slave who spends a lot of money to provide a pitifully small house.The wolf tribe occupies a very large area, and there is a short distance between each household. Ernst easily brought Lixia to a flat and open place.The earth was still shaking, and the rain was pouring.Ernst shook off two Banzi dragon skins for the two of them to wear. He did not take Lixia to stand under the big tree to hide from the rain, not only because Lixia said that hiding under the tree in the rain is easy to be struck by lightning, but also because of the earthquake. It is also possible for large trees to fall.

From time to time, other orc females would come around, and everyone hated themselves at this time for not having four legs to run, or wings to fly.The frightened female and the cub cried out, and the male also looked pale as if he had survived the catastrophe.

Li Xia was held tightly in Ernst's arms, his ears pressed against his bent chest, and his heart was beating like a drum.Li Xia had only seen earthquake scenes on TV and newspapers before, but had never personally experienced them, and this time he had to feel the power of natural disasters, and the feeling of the sky collapsing in an instant made his whole body tremble. Sift the chaff.Thinking about it just now, if it wasn't for Ernst's quick reaction and the moment he froze, he probably wouldn't be standing here now.

The shaking subsided, and everyone quickly returned to the tribe.The closer I got, the more I heard bursts of heart-piercing cries. The sound was like a ghost's cry under the obstruction of the heavy rain, vague and penetrating.

Only some of them were lucky enough to escape, and there were still many people who did not escape at the moment of the earthquake.Although there are no high-rise buildings, the thick earthen walls were still photographed fiercely.People on the road were crying bitterly, or squatting on the spot digging or running back and forth to find their lost relatives. In the houses passing by, legs or arms were exposed under the earthen walls. In order to protect the cubs, the adults first took the children out of the house. Li pushed it out, but he delayed the opportunity to escape.The male cub changed into a beast shape and clawed in all directions and used it to dig the soil. The female cub was digging with her hands while crying loudly.

The patriarch Walter was in a panic, but he quickly called the uninjured clansmen to start rescue.Beastmen in the form of beasts can be seen everywhere in the tribe, digging walls and digging the ground, wounded or corpses were dug out of the collapsed objects one by one, the survivors couldn't believe it, and they couldn't believe it either.My homeland, relatives...everything was taken away by this ruthless earthquake in an instant.The wounded were overjoyed to be alive, while relatives grieved every time a cold body was dug up.They are gone, and the only thing left is more people's despair and more people's tears.The dust all over the sky after the earthquake was suppressed by the rain in an instant, and the ground was muddy, and there was no chance to turn over.Only ruins remain of the destroyed houses, and the relatives who laughed with them a few hours ago will never be seen again.At this time, only tears, howls and calls can be used to prove the pain in their hearts.

Its daybreak.Rescue also came to a halt with the end of the excavation.Because the patriarch's notification was relatively timely, the number of casualties was not too many. Among the 400 people, more than [-] people suffered fractures and twelve died.The houses have all collapsed, and no one dares to live in the few that have not completely collapsed.Everyone could only build a simple tent with branches and banzi dragon skin on the high ground to accommodate the wounded.

Many families took turns to watch the night. They were more or less injured, but a few families did not take what the patriarch said seriously, because they had never experienced such a thing, and felt that the patriarch was worrying unnecessarily.The moment the earthquake happened, I didn't even get out of bed, and was directly pressed by the fallen earth wall, and soon there was no life.

The most pitiful thing is the two-year-old male cub Yadi. His parents are gone and he lives with his elderly grandfather.When the earthquake happened, although he was hugged by the grandfather immediately and ran outside, the old man was still crushed by the earthen wall because his legs and feet were not very flexible.Most of Yadi's body was outside, his arm was broken by the wall in the opposite direction, and the bones pierced out from under the skin. His grandpa was directly caught by the wall and bit off his broken arm with his last breath in order to let him escape.

At this moment, the little cub was being held in Li Xia's arms and fell asleep, whimpering intermittently because of the pain, the temperature of his body was frighteningly high, and he would tremble once or twice from time to time.The pain of a broken arm is not comparable to that of a broken arm.The blood from the wound covered by the medicine has stopped, and the animal skin that was used as a bandage still has a large bloodstain that dripped out before.Yadi was very strong and didn't pass out until he was found.He woke up when he was taking the medicine in the middle, he firmly grabbed Li Xia's clothes and didn't let go, and tried to use his uninjured arm to grab Li Xia's neck.The female who came to replace Lixia had no choice but to let Lixia continue to hold her.

Both Subi and Molinda were safe and sound, and they were dragged out by their love objects just in time when the earthquake happened.Lixia couldn't make a move at the moment, so Subi followed Molinda to help take care of the injured.The herbs in Molinda's house were cleared out during the excavation, and Li Xia didn't bother to ask where the suspected scallions in the pile of herbs came from.Now I’m sitting under the tent with my child in my arms and cooking red dates. He’s not a doctor. Even if he understands, he only knows the most basic things. Yadi’s broken arm bleeds so much, it should be okay to eat some red dates to nourish the blood. .

Ernst went home to pack up his things. Although he brought some of them out before, it would be good to dig out more. It would be even better if he could find half of the usable clay pots.The two of them went back before, and three of the four walls of the house collapsed, and the thatched roof was scattered in a mess.The guru birds didn't know whether they were petrified or something, but they didn't run away, and shivered under the remaining courtyard wall.Li Xia decided to kill them all without hesitation. Although they made great contributions to heralding the earthquake, the food shortage after the natural disaster cannot be ignored. The Temple of the Five Viscera is where they belong.
