After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm
Chapter 124 Bitter Grass
The water was very cold, but the hands held by Bai Wu and Nan Yao were very hot.
The two stood in the water and kissed, with the blue sky and white clouds above their heads, their shadows reflected in the water.
Bai Wu was a little out of breath from the kiss, and was supported by Nan Yao's powerful hands, so she didn't fall into the water.
After a kiss, the two parted.
Bai Wu subconsciously wanted to wipe his lips, but Nan Yao grabbed his wrist, leaned over and licked his lips, and then wiped his soft pink lips with his rough fingertips to help him wipe off the water stains.
Bai Wu's face instantly turned red up to the ears, and she wiped her lips again, "Quickly dig the lotus roots."
Nan Yao smiled and touched his cheek, "Okay."
Lotus root grows in weeds.
They walk through the silt and weeds, digging up useful ingredients.
Among them, the lotus root is the most numerous, and there are also many green balls, which are difficult to dig.
The autumn wind was bleak, and Bai Wu dug a little sweat on his forehead.
The two worked for most of the day to fill the two back baskets.
There are still a lot of lotus roots here, Bai Wu saw that the sun was slanting to the west, and he was already approaching the top of the mountain, so he turned his head and said to Nan Yao, "I'm afraid we can't finish digging today, shall we bring two more people here tomorrow?"
"Bring the shore?"
"It's fine, let them fly in the sky."
The two returned with two large baskets of lotus root and a small half basket of green balls.
The family knew that they went out to dig lotus roots, and they were still surprised to see so many lotus roots on their backs.
Kishi asked: "Did you really find a place where lotus roots grow? Are there many lotus roots in that place?"
"I haven't finished digging today. I just told Nanyao that if you and Yafu are free tomorrow, why don't you go digging the lotus root with us? Take the lotus root back early, so as not to cause a change."
"Okay, can we ride a dolphin?"
"Little porpoise can't fit three people, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kian gave him a strange look, "Of course you sit with the priest, and I sit with Yafu. You two are serious lovers, a little shy?"
Bai Wu's face slowly turned red again, and said angrily: "The two little dolphins may not be willing to carry you."
"How is it possible?" Kishi proudly said, "I have such a good relationship with the two little dolphins, they must be happy."
Kishi thought about riding a porpoise for a long time, and then he couldn't care less about anything, "I'm going down to feed the two porpoises! I want to have a good relationship with them!"
Bai Wu waved her hand lazily, watching him sneak into the utility room and come out with half a bucket of bacon and cured fish, and did not expose him.
In the evening, Bai Wu told the two fathers about digging lotus roots.
Chuan agreed: "It's just right, we haven't collected much food these days, so it's good to dig lotus root with you."
"Then it's settled. Let's set off early tomorrow and bring more baskets!"
After the meal, the family processed the lotus root dug up today.
Cut out the lotus root meat and store it in a cool and ventilated place away from light, and the lotus root buds should be planted in the lotus root field as soon as possible when their vitality is still sufficient.
They dug up so many lotus roots this year and harvested a lot of lotus root buds, so they must have a bumper harvest of lotus roots next year.
After a busy day, Bai Wu and Nan Yao went up the mountain to take a shower and went to bed early.
Waking up the next day, Bai Wu and Nan Yao went to plant lotus root buds first, and brought the two big wolves there by the way.
The two wolves in their family have grown very big, and their wolf fur is long and slippery, especially after taking a bath, they are very majestic.
Bai Wu has no resistance to the two furries at home, and during this period of time when cooking, he often cooks for them.
The two big wolves also got a lot closer to Bai Wu, and now they not only lay down flat and let themselves be rubbed, but in a better mood, they even turned their stomachs over to let Bai Wu rub their stomachs.
Even if they raised the two little guys from a young age, it was not easy for the two little guys to let go of their guard and show their weaknesses to them.
When Bai Wu and Nan Yao were walking on the road, two big wolves ran around beside them.
Every time he ran to Bai Wu's feet, Bai Wu would take the opportunity to touch the backs or heads of the two big wolves.
Their ears are especially easy to touch, soft, thick and elastic. When Bai Wu pushed their two ears back, as soon as he let go, the two ears would spring back immediately.
Bai Wu rubbed the wolf's ears, and couldn't help laughing while playing.
Nan Yao walked aside to watch his movements, "Is it that fun?"
"Really, come and try." Bai Wu stroked Nan Feng's head, and suddenly exerted a little force on his hand, pushed its ears back, and immediately rolled the eyes of the big wolf under him.
Nanfeng let out a low "woo", and Bai Wu hurriedly stroked its big head soothingly.
Nan Yao looked at the big wolf and said, "My beast-shaped feathers are smoother than it."
Bai Wu: "???"
Nan Yao: "You can come and play with me."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Wu pounced on him, covered his mouth with his hands, and stared at him with a smile, "Why do you say everything?"
Nan Yao wrapped his arms around his waist and smiled, "Can't you be honest?"
The two came to the field and planted the lotus sprouts.
Bai Wu looked at their small lotus field, and said to Nanyao, "We have to find time to expand this lotus field. If we can't dig out the lotus buds, there will be no place to plant them."
"Tomorrow, bring the two oxen over and let them plow a piece of land next to it, connecting it with the current lotus root field."
"I think I can."
After planting lotus root buds, the two went to inspect other crops.
The Buguo seedlings in their family have grown up, and now they are producing fruit as big as a finger. It will not take long. The fruit will grow bigger and bigger, and they will have new fibers to use.
The wheat in their family also started to turn yellow, but only a part of it turned yellow. It must take a while for the wheat to fully mature.
What surprised them most was the bitter grass seeds planted by their family.
The bitter grass and wheat grains were planted together, and the wheat grains were not yet mature, but the bitter grass had turned yellow. They could easily knock off the grains on the ears with a light touch.
Bai Wu stretched out his hand to stroke it, and put it in front of his eyes, "Have these bitter weed seeds grown?"
"It seems to be, it's quite full when pinched."
"I'll taste it." Bai Wu pinched a grain, put it in his mouth and bit it, and when he bit off the shell, there were bitter grass seeds with a faint bitter taste inside.
"It's really edible, let's cut them off tomorrow!"
"Okay, first cut the bitter grass, and then plow the field."
"Then I'll talk to Yafu and the others later."
Bai Wu told his family about it.
Chuan Dao: "I have been talking to your father for the past two days. After cutting the bitter grass, leave the stalks to feed the cattle and sheep? Just now, when the weather is good, you can dry the bitter grass."
"It's going to be dried in the sun, and it will be stored on the beams when the time comes."
They have a lot of livestock at home, and they have been preparing rations for the livestock in winter since spring.
If the rations of pigs, sheep and ducks are really insufficient, they can still slaughter them for the winter.
Cows can't do it. Cows are a major labor force in their family, so they have to ensure their winter food.
Fortunately, cattle are not as picky as other livestock, and straw plus a little fresh grass is enough for cattle to survive the winter.
After breakfast, Bai Wu took his family to dig lotus roots.
They had already dug once yesterday, so they were familiar with the way.
I went to dig again today, and it didn't take much effort.
Even Kishi and Chuan were surprised to see so many fish on the shore of the lake.
They didn't expect that there could be so many fish in this strange lake.
Kishi asked excitedly: "I haven't seen this kind of fish, can we catch some and go back and try it?"
Bai Wu: "Yes, yes, but brother, don't fish too much. If you fish too much, I'm afraid it will destroy the ecological balance here."
Chuan asked, "Should we keep some lotus root so that they can grow again next spring?"
"Just don't dig too small a piece." Bai Wu said, "We couldn't dig it clean, so don't worry too much."
The four talked for a while, and they were divided into two groups, Baiwu and Nanyao were in a group, and Kishi and Chuan were in a group.
Two groups of people dug hard in two directions.
Kishi is best at having fun while digging. After digging for a while, he would be amazed. At one time, there are many bird nests here, and at the other time, there are fishes here. He did not dig much lotus root, but he found a lot of novel and interesting things.
Listening to his bluffing voice, the whole family also became happy.
This lake is not big, Bai Wu and the others had already dug for a day yesterday, and today the four strong laborers dug for another day, basically digging up all the lotus root.
They carry not only lotus root in their back baskets, but also various "trophies"
At the end of the day, everyone is tired and satisfied.
Before going back to shore, he looked back at the shallow lake and said, "This is our secret base. I want to dig here next year."
Bai Wu smiled: "As long as you remember."
The family returned home.
Bai Wu specially mixed a hot and sour diced lotus root for dinner that night, and the other dishes were all meat.
They work too hard and must eat enough meat to have enough energy, otherwise they will easily lose their bodies.
Bai Wu pays close attention to their family's diet.
After eating, Bai Wu and Nan Yao were counting the lotus roots that their family had dug up.
They dug a total of more than 600 lotus roots. There were too many lotus roots to fit in the utility room. They could only put some lotus roots in the open space behind the house.
Bai Wu was worried, fearing that wild animals would come to pick up their lotus root at night, so she specially moved Nanfeng and Baixue's nest to the backyard for them to watch.
Chuan watched him busy in the backyard through the window, and laughed at him, "We just sleep in the house, and we can hear everything. I'm afraid that some small animal will pick up your lotus root in the middle of the night?"
"This is the lotus root that we have dug back through untold hardships, how can we not worry?" Bai Wu smiled and looked up at Chuan, "Yafu, you go to sleep, I will check if there is any scar on the lotus root, it has to be spread out to dry Keep it up, or I'm afraid it will rot."
Chuan reminded him, "Master Priest and you found this lotus root together. You should share half of it with Mr. Priest."
Bai Wu muttered, "The relationship between the two of us, why do we need to divide between you and me?"
"As long as you don't officially become a partner for a day, the score is clear. Otherwise, you will become a partner as soon as possible, and I won't care about your business."
"I'm so busy now, let's wait a while." Bai Wu said, "I have to prepare."
Chuan was originally just chatting with him, but when he heard him say that, he was both surprised and happy, and his voice raised a degree, "Have you already discussed it?"
Bai Wu didn't dare to say that he didn't let go of his mouth all the time, but when Yafu asked him, he said vaguely, "We have a tacit understanding."
"The tacit understanding can't be real, so please talk about it. If you're embarrassed, I can ask him."
"I'm sorry! Yafu, don't ask me." Bai Wu was afraid that Yafu would really ask, so he emphasized again, "We really know how to communicate, Yafu, don't tell him."
"What are you in a hurry for? Before winter, I won't say anything. This is the head office?"
Bai Wu couldn't sleep at night because of his Yafu's questioning.
Everyone is asking, he has never asked himself if he is really ready to become a partner with Nan Yao, a couple for life.
Wanting to fall in love with Nanyao and wanting to be a partner with Nanyao must be two things.
Bai Wu didn't sleep well at night, and got up late the next day as a matter of course.
When he yawned and got up to wash, Nan Yao was already outside in the yard, and Nan Yao and Chuan were making breakfast together.
As soon as Bai Wu opened the door, he saw his prospective partner and his father busy. This warm scene was very exciting. He widened his eyes and stood quietly by the door, listening to what the two were talking about.
Neither of them paid any attention to him, and what they said was just gossip.
Kishi came out from behind with two lotus roots, saw him standing stupidly by the door at a glance, and asked loudly, "What are you doing here?"
"Wake up and take a nap?"
"All right, all right, it was so fierce early in the morning."
Kishi murmured and complained, they were going to cut bitter weeds today, and they might have a busy day, so they made as much breakfast as possible, and specially made soup with weeds.
Drinking soup is more appetizing, everyone eats more meals, and the hunger will be slower.
The bitter grass of Bai Wu's family is not only planted in the field, but also planted a batch in Xingwang Valley.
Bitter grass is very similar to wheat. The ears are longer than the ears of wheat and have more grains. It doesn't irritate insects and birds. Apart from the bitter taste, it is almost a perfect grain.
They put on twigs and straw hats and went to work in the fields.
The process of doing farm work is extremely boring, and the amount of work is heavy. They are busy all day, and they don't bother to eat lunch. They have been busy until nightfall, and they have harvested a total of 57 bundles of bitter grass.
After harvesting so much bitter grass, their waists were about to break.
It doesn't count if the bitter grass is carried back, they have to put the bitter grass outside to dry in the open space, and then pull it back to threshing after drying.
Fortunately, there are two cows here this year, and the two porpoises can also help, otherwise, the five people in their family have to do so much work, and they will be exhausted.
In the evening, when Bai Wu and Nanyao went to take a bath in the hot spring, Bai Wu specially soaked for a while longer.
He is really tired today.
He is the most tired one in the whole family.
This is due to him secretly increasing the workload.
Bitter grass is what he wants to plant, and the field is what he wants to plow.
If he hadn't wanted to grow so many things, the family wouldn't be so tired at all.
During the process of collecting in the wild, the food we got was not so delicious, but it was enough to fill our stomachs.
Feeling guilty, Bai Wu specially did a little more work.
He didn't realize that he was telling his family with his actions that this is the field he wants to plant and he will take responsibility.
Nan Yao saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just waited quietly outside while he was in the hot spring, letting him take a good bath to relieve his fatigue.
Autumn nights are very quiet, and even the annoying chirping of insects and birds has basically disappeared. Except for the sound of the evening wind blowing through the woods and blowing fallen leaves, there are basically no other sounds at night.
Nan Yao was waiting in the hot spring outside, Bai Wu's little snoring could be heard beside his ears.
This kind of snoring is not the loud one, but the kind of small snoring that is louder when people are too tired.
Sounds downright cute.
Nan Yao listened to Bai Wu's voice to ensure his safety.
Bai Wu slept soundly.
Nanyao watched the stars in the sky change positions little by little, and the night became darker and thicker. She put on her clothes and called Baiwu at the corner of the mountain.
Bai Wu might be too tired, Nan Yao yelled outside for a long time but couldn't wake him up, one of them woke him up.
Bai Wu seemed to feel that this was a dream, muttered something, and fell asleep again.
If Nan Yao has experience living in modern society, he can quickly realize that Bai Wu is probably the kind of person who wakes up with the alarm clock and needs to sleep for another 10 minutes, but ends up sleeping for more than two hours.
No, Nan Yao has been patiently waiting for him.
Nan Yao waited for a while, but couldn't wake him up, and he couldn't let him soak in the hot spring for too long, so he had to go in and call him.
The hot spring pool is a pool sunken in the ground, and the spring water and the night also have a certain concealing effect. Nan Yao did not see Bai Wu's body clearly.
He deliberately avoided Bai Wu's body, and just patted his bare shoulders with his hands.
Orcs and sub-orcs only wear a skirt in summer, and their shoulders are bare all year round.
The two are serious lovers, and they usually have a lot of physical contact.
Logically speaking, a light pat on the shoulder is nothing, but Bai Wu's body went numb from this action, and he woke up from his sleep.
He turned his head nervously, saw that it was Nanyao, and wanted to stand up, but the buoyancy of the hot spring made him lose his balance due to excessive movements, and fell directly into the hot spring.
Nan Yao was beside him to protect him. Before he fell completely, he reached out to wrap his arms around his waist and lifted him up.
Bai Wu didn't wear any clothes on her body, and after being swept up like this, she came out naked.
He became even more nervous, and hugged Nan Yao's shoulders with both hands in embarrassment, "Why are you here?"
"I yelled several times outside, but you didn't hear me. I'll come and have a look."
Nan Yao paused after finishing speaking, "Why are you nervous, you will have to watch it sooner or later."
Bai Wu's whole body turned red, like a prawn, "Can this be the same?"
"It's really different." Nan Yao looked at his face and lowered his voice, "Then, can I kiss you?"
"What, what?"
Bai Wu was gagged before she could finish her sentence, and the two kissed fiercely in the cold wind.
With the cold wind blowing by his side, Bai Wu was hugged by Nan Yao in his fiery arms.
The cold wind was too cold, and the people in front of them were too hot. The two fell in love, and finally helped each other.
Bai Wu was a virgin in two lifetimes, and his younger brother's closest partner is his five-finger girl.
He never thought that the intimacy of human beings is so cool, like fireworks everywhere, from his spine to the depths of his forehead, there are booming sounds everywhere.
He even lost his ability to think, and was completely immersed in the mutual aid behavior of human beings.
When he came back to his senses, he was very annoyed, and followed Nan Yao in silence.
The two of them hadn't returned home yet. Seeing him like this, Nan Yao secretly sighed and said softly: "If you really can't accept it, we'll take it slowly, it doesn't matter."
"Huh?" Bai Wu raised her eyes slowly, "No."
Nan Yao: "Nothing?"
"I didn't expect it to be so cool." Bai Wu, who had just experienced it for the first time, glanced at him, and whispered annoyedly, "If I knew it was so cool, I wouldn't have struggled so long."
Nan Yao couldn't help laughing, and touched his cheek, "I'll show you to experience it tomorrow."
Bai Wu was very moved, but still refused.
"Ten drops of blood and one drop of essence. If I do this every day, I'm afraid of kidney deficiency."
"?" Nan Yao said, "What kind of kidney deficiency."
"That's right." Bai Wu glanced at Nan Yao's waist subtly, those eyes were bright and agile even in the dark, "If you abuse it, I'm afraid you will be powerless in the future."
Nan Yao paused for a moment, grabbed his shoulders with his hands, approached and threatened with a smile, "Who is powerless, why don't you try?"
After all, Bai Wu's skin was still not thick enough, and after finishing speaking, her face turned red again.
He didn't need Nan Yao to see him off, and said, "It's late, I'm going back to bed first, see you tomorrow."
After speaking, he hurriedly changed back to the animal form, flapped his wings and flew towards home quickly.
When he got home and lay on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and he couldn't help but help himself again. The feeling of self-help was obviously not as good as mutual help. He lay on the bed, staring absently at the beam above his head, with mixed emotions in his heart .
The next day, Bai Wu naturally got up late again.
Now that autumn is strong, what they see when they wake up in the morning is no longer dew, but thin hoarfrost.
The bitter grass they cut yesterday was put outside to dry, and it was also covered with a layer of frost. They had to spread the bitter grass so that they could be evenly exposed to the sun.
Today we not only need to dry the bitter grass, but also to thresh the bitter grass.
They don't have any tools to easily thresh bitter grass, so they can only rely on manpower to pick up bundles of bitter grass and throw them on the specially-made large wooden barrels.
Bitter grass will thresh when it falls on the wall of the cylinder, and then fall into the bucket.
The bitter grass grains taken off in this way have a lot of impurities, and there are everything in them-stalks, weeds, bugs, husks, etc., but they have no better way.
It won't be long before winter will come. They can't stay at home and work, and they have to go out to collect food while the weather is good.
In fact, in terms of reserves, their family should have no shortage of food to eat.
But this winter will be visibly colder than previous years. Everyone has a sense of crisis in their hearts. They have to hurry up and store as much as possible.
Not only the people in their tribe also feel that this winter will be colder, but other people also feel it, and everyone is preparing for this winter.
Many people had to let go of half-built houses.
Building a house is not the most important thing now, the most important thing is to collect food to fill our stomachs so that we can survive this winter safely.
Under this background, Nan Yao also became busy. He basically met people from various tribes every day, and would also give guidance to each tribe on the materials they needed to collect.
These substances include not only food, but also things for heating.
Wood is the most basic thing, but other tools and utensils cannot be missing.
Everyone seems to be busy when they say they are busy. In just a few days, the atmosphere in the tribe is very different.
Bai Wu was engulfed in it, and felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
The two stood in the water and kissed, with the blue sky and white clouds above their heads, their shadows reflected in the water.
Bai Wu was a little out of breath from the kiss, and was supported by Nan Yao's powerful hands, so she didn't fall into the water.
After a kiss, the two parted.
Bai Wu subconsciously wanted to wipe his lips, but Nan Yao grabbed his wrist, leaned over and licked his lips, and then wiped his soft pink lips with his rough fingertips to help him wipe off the water stains.
Bai Wu's face instantly turned red up to the ears, and she wiped her lips again, "Quickly dig the lotus roots."

"It's fine, let them fly in the sky."
The two returned with two large baskets of lotus root and a small half basket of green balls.

Kishi asked: "Did you really find a place where lotus roots grow? Are there many lotus roots in that place?"

"Okay, can we ride a dolphin?"

They work too hard and must eat enough meat to have enough energy, otherwise they will easily lose their bodies.
Bai Wu pays close attention to their family's diet.
After eating, Bai Wu and Nan Yao were counting the lotus roots that their family had dug up.
They dug a total of more than 600 lotus roots. There were too many lotus roots to fit in the utility room. They could only put some lotus roots in the open space behind the house.
Bai Wu was worried, fearing that wild animals would come to pick up their lotus root at night, so she specially moved Nanfeng and Baixue's nest to the backyard for them to watch.
Chuan watched him busy in the backyard through the window, and laughed at him, "We just sleep in the house, and we can hear everything. I'm afraid that some small animal will pick up your lotus root in the middle of the night?"
"This is the lotus root that we have dug back through untold hardships, how can we not worry?" Bai Wu smiled and looked up at Chuan, "Yafu, you go to sleep, I will check if there is any scar on the lotus root, it has to be spread out to dry Keep it up, or I'm afraid it will rot."
Chuan reminded him, "Master Priest and you found this lotus root together. You should share half of it with Mr. Priest."
Bai Wu muttered, "The relationship between the two of us, why do we need to divide between you and me?"
"As long as you don't officially become a partner for a day, the score is clear. Otherwise, you will become a partner as soon as possible, and I won't care about your business."
"I'm so busy now, let's wait a while." Bai Wu said, "I have to prepare."
Chuan was originally just chatting with him, but when he heard him say that, he was both surprised and happy, and his voice raised a degree, "Have you already discussed it?"
Bai Wu didn't dare to say that he didn't let go of his mouth all the time, but when Yafu asked him, he said vaguely, "We have a tacit understanding."
"The tacit understanding can't be real, so please talk about it. If you're embarrassed, I can ask him."
"I'm sorry! Yafu, don't ask me." Bai Wu was afraid that Yafu would really ask, so he emphasized again, "We really know how to communicate, Yafu, don't tell him."
"What are you in a hurry for? Before winter, I won't say anything. This is the head office?"
Bai Wu couldn't sleep at night because of his Yafu's questioning.
Everyone is asking, he has never asked himself if he is really ready to become a partner with Nan Yao, a couple for life.
Wanting to fall in love with Nanyao and wanting to be a partner with Nanyao must be two things.
Bai Wu didn't sleep well at night, and got up late the next day as a matter of course.
When he yawned and got up to wash, Nan Yao was already outside in the yard, and Nan Yao and Chuan were making breakfast together.
As soon as Bai Wu opened the door, he saw his prospective partner and his father busy. This warm scene was very exciting. He widened his eyes and stood quietly by the door, listening to what the two were talking about.
Neither of them paid any attention to him, and what they said was just gossip.
Kishi came out from behind with two lotus roots, saw him standing stupidly by the door at a glance, and asked loudly, "What are you doing here?"
"Wake up and take a nap?"
"All right, all right, it was so fierce early in the morning."
Kishi murmured and complained, they were going to cut bitter weeds today, and they might have a busy day, so they made as much breakfast as possible, and specially made soup with weeds.
Drinking soup is more appetizing, everyone eats more meals, and the hunger will be slower.
The bitter grass of Bai Wu's family is not only planted in the field, but also planted a batch in Xingwang Valley.
Bitter grass is very similar to wheat. The ears are longer than the ears of wheat and have more grains. It doesn't irritate insects and birds. Apart from the bitter taste, it is almost a perfect grain.
They put on twigs and straw hats and went to work in the fields.
The process of doing farm work is extremely boring, and the amount of work is heavy. They are busy all day, and they don't bother to eat lunch. They have been busy until nightfall, and they have harvested a total of 57 bundles of bitter grass.
After harvesting so much bitter grass, their waists were about to break.
It doesn't count if the bitter grass is carried back, they have to put the bitter grass outside to dry in the open space, and then pull it back to threshing after drying.
Fortunately, there are two cows here this year, and the two porpoises can also help, otherwise, the five people in their family have to do so much work, and they will be exhausted.
In the evening, when Bai Wu and Nanyao went to take a bath in the hot spring, Bai Wu specially soaked for a while longer.
He is really tired today.
He is the most tired one in the whole family.
This is due to him secretly increasing the workload.
Bitter grass is what he wants to plant, and the field is what he wants to plow.
If he hadn't wanted to grow so many things, the family wouldn't be so tired at all.
During the process of collecting in the wild, the food we got was not so delicious, but it was enough to fill our stomachs.
Feeling guilty, Bai Wu specially did a little more work.
He didn't realize that he was telling his family with his actions that this is the field he wants to plant and he will take responsibility.
Nan Yao saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just waited quietly outside while he was in the hot spring, letting him take a good bath to relieve his fatigue.
Autumn nights are very quiet, and even the annoying chirping of insects and birds has basically disappeared. Except for the sound of the evening wind blowing through the woods and blowing fallen leaves, there are basically no other sounds at night.
Nan Yao was waiting in the hot spring outside, Bai Wu's little snoring could be heard beside his ears.
This kind of snoring is not the loud one, but the kind of small snoring that is louder when people are too tired.
Sounds downright cute.
Nan Yao listened to Bai Wu's voice to ensure his safety.
Bai Wu slept soundly.
Nanyao watched the stars in the sky change positions little by little, and the night became darker and thicker. She put on her clothes and called Baiwu at the corner of the mountain.
Bai Wu might be too tired, Nan Yao yelled outside for a long time but couldn't wake him up, one of them woke him up.
Bai Wu seemed to feel that this was a dream, muttered something, and fell asleep again.
If Nan Yao has experience living in modern society, he can quickly realize that Bai Wu is probably the kind of person who wakes up with the alarm clock and needs to sleep for another 10 minutes, but ends up sleeping for more than two hours.
No, Nan Yao has been patiently waiting for him.
Nan Yao waited for a while, but couldn't wake him up, and he couldn't let him soak in the hot spring for too long, so he had to go in and call him.
The hot spring pool is a pool sunken in the ground, and the spring water and the night also have a certain concealing effect. Nan Yao did not see Bai Wu's body clearly.
He deliberately avoided Bai Wu's body, and just patted his bare shoulders with his hands.
Orcs and sub-orcs only wear a skirt in summer, and their shoulders are bare all year round.
The two are serious lovers, and they usually have a lot of physical contact.
Logically speaking, a light pat on the shoulder is nothing, but Bai Wu's body went numb from this action, and he woke up from his sleep.
He turned his head nervously, saw that it was Nanyao, and wanted to stand up, but the buoyancy of the hot spring made him lose his balance due to excessive movements, and fell directly into the hot spring.
Nan Yao was beside him to protect him. Before he fell completely, he reached out to wrap his arms around his waist and lifted him up.
Bai Wu didn't wear any clothes on her body, and after being swept up like this, she came out naked.
He became even more nervous, and hugged Nan Yao's shoulders with both hands in embarrassment, "Why are you here?"
"I yelled several times outside, but you didn't hear me. I'll come and have a look."
Nan Yao paused after finishing speaking, "Why are you nervous, you will have to watch it sooner or later."
Bai Wu's whole body turned red, like a prawn, "Can this be the same?"
"It's really different." Nan Yao looked at his face and lowered his voice, "Then, can I kiss you?"
"What, what?"
Bai Wu was gagged before she could finish her sentence, and the two kissed fiercely in the cold wind.
With the cold wind blowing by his side, Bai Wu was hugged by Nan Yao in his fiery arms.
The cold wind was too cold, and the people in front of them were too hot. The two fell in love, and finally helped each other.
Bai Wu was a virgin in two lifetimes, and his younger brother's closest partner is his five-finger girl.
He never thought that the intimacy of human beings is so cool, like fireworks everywhere, from his spine to the depths of his forehead, there are booming sounds everywhere.
He even lost his ability to think, and was completely immersed in the mutual aid behavior of human beings.
When he came back to his senses, he was very annoyed, and followed Nan Yao in silence.
The two of them hadn't returned home yet. Seeing him like this, Nan Yao secretly sighed and said softly: "If you really can't accept it, we'll take it slowly, it doesn't matter."
"Huh?" Bai Wu raised her eyes slowly, "No."
Nan Yao: "Nothing?"
"I didn't expect it to be so cool." Bai Wu, who had just experienced it for the first time, glanced at him, and whispered annoyedly, "If I knew it was so cool, I wouldn't have struggled so long."
Nan Yao couldn't help laughing, and touched his cheek, "I'll show you to experience it tomorrow."
Bai Wu was very moved, but still refused.
"Ten drops of blood and one drop of essence. If I do this every day, I'm afraid of kidney deficiency."
"?" Nan Yao said, "What kind of kidney deficiency."
"That's right." Bai Wu glanced at Nan Yao's waist subtly, those eyes were bright and agile even in the dark, "If you abuse it, I'm afraid you will be powerless in the future."
Nan Yao paused for a moment, grabbed his shoulders with his hands, approached and threatened with a smile, "Who is powerless, why don't you try?"
After all, Bai Wu's skin was still not thick enough, and after finishing speaking, her face turned red again.
He didn't need Nan Yao to see him off, and said, "It's late, I'm going back to bed first, see you tomorrow."
After speaking, he hurriedly changed back to the animal form, flapped his wings and flew towards home quickly.
When he got home and lay on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and he couldn't help but help himself again. The feeling of self-help was obviously not as good as mutual help. He lay on the bed, staring absently at the beam above his head, with mixed emotions in his heart .
The next day, Bai Wu naturally got up late again.
Now that autumn is strong, what they see when they wake up in the morning is no longer dew, but thin hoarfrost.
The bitter grass they cut yesterday was put outside to dry, and it was also covered with a layer of frost. They had to spread the bitter grass so that they could be evenly exposed to the sun.
Today we not only need to dry the bitter grass, but also to thresh the bitter grass.
They don't have any tools to easily thresh bitter grass, so they can only rely on manpower to pick up bundles of bitter grass and throw them on the specially-made large wooden barrels.
Bitter grass will thresh when it falls on the wall of the cylinder, and then fall into the bucket.
The bitter grass grains taken off in this way have a lot of impurities, and there are everything in them-stalks, weeds, bugs, husks, etc., but they have no better way.
It won't be long before winter will come. They can't stay at home and work, and they have to go out to collect food while the weather is good.
In fact, in terms of reserves, their family should have no shortage of food to eat.
But this winter will be visibly colder than previous years. Everyone has a sense of crisis in their hearts. They have to hurry up and store as much as possible.
Not only the people in their tribe also feel that this winter will be colder, but other people also feel it, and everyone is preparing for this winter.
Many people had to let go of half-built houses.
Building a house is not the most important thing now, the most important thing is to collect food to fill our stomachs so that we can survive this winter safely.
Under this background, Nan Yao also became busy. He basically met people from various tribes every day, and would also give guidance to each tribe on the materials they needed to collect.
These substances include not only food, but also things for heating.
Wood is the most basic thing, but other tools and utensils cannot be missing.
Everyone seems to be busy when they say they are busy. In just a few days, the atmosphere in the tribe is very different.
Bai Wu was engulfed in it, and felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
