The calendar of the bird orcs is very strange. They use phenology and moon phases to determine the calendar.

Phenology roughly refers to the responses of plants and animals to the seasons.

The moon phase is the waxing and waning of the moon.

Similar to the lunar calendar in Bai Wu's previous life, there are twelve or thirteen months in a year, and a month has 29 or 30 days.

The calendar is kept in the cave, and an old man is in charge of it.

Bai Wu had seen it once before, but she was not very good at judging the calendar.

Chuan and Mo remembered the calendar very clearly. If Bai Wu forgot, he usually asked them.

When Bai Wu was reminded of the new year's day the day after tomorrow, he was still a little shocked, "It's so soon? Isn't there still a few days left?"

"A few days and a few days, how can there be so many days?" Chuan smiled, "What do you want to eat, I will prepare it for you during the Chinese New Year."

Their family also regarded Bai Wu as an important thing to take the Chinese New Year.

If it wasn't for Bai Wu's deliberate suggestion, the Chinese New Year would pass by peacefully like any other day.

Bai Wu thought about it carefully, "We slaughter a sheep and a duck during the Chinese New Year, and the other roots and vegetables should be enough."

There are two rams in their family, both of which are about the same size now. If they continue to be raised, they will only eat grass and do not produce meat. A batch must be killed as soon as possible to replace them with new ones.

It was spring, and there were a lot of livestock on the grassland outside, so it should be easier to catch sheep.

Bai Wu said that there was no need to prepare, but it was Chinese New Year, and he and his father and brother cleaned up the house.

Even the hay and dried flowers hanging on the wall for decoration have been replaced with a new batch.

On the day of the New Year, Bai Wu and his family pounded rice, picked radishes, soaked mushrooms, and cut leeks.

He made three kinds of dumplings alone—radish minced meat filling, leek and bird egg filling, wild onion and mushroom filling, each filling has meat and vegetables, wrapped with freshly ground wheat flour, white and fat, Not to mention how entertaining it is.

Not to mention hard dishes.

The mutton baked in the bread kiln is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you tear off the meat, you can still see the soup inside.

The stewed duck with pickled wild onions is a must, with chewing fruit inside, sour and spicy after cooking, very appetizing.

Bai Wu even baked a cake, which contained a lot of cheese and comfrey sugar, and added whipped egg whites. Just looking at the caramel-colored cake, one could imagine the dense and sweet taste.

Kishi followed him all the way to work, but when he actually saw the finished product, he was still shocked, "It's just a new year, why is it so rich? We can't finish it even if we eat it for three days?!"

"The New Year in my dream is so rich." Bai Wu turned her head and smiled, "If you can't finish eating today, you can save it for tomorrow. If you can't finish eating tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow. We can eat big meals for three days in a row."

An Gudu swallowed, "Can we cook so many dishes during the Bird Festival?"

Bai Wu nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay to cook more dishes. When the time comes, we'll slaughter another pig, and we can invite them to eat at home to make it even richer."

"I will help you then!"

The father and son were chatting while working. Just as they were chatting, Bai Wu hurriedly saw Mo flying back from the window and was about to land. He shouted, "Father, where is the priest? He's not with you." come down."

"He said it was inappropriate and he wouldn't eat with us."

"Is that so?" Bai Wu stood on the spot, looking at the pots and pans around her, paused her hands, and muttered in a low voice, "I prepared a meal for five people."

Bai Wu was a little disappointed, and his originally flying mood calmed down.

Seeing his downcast expression, An stretched out his hand to touch him, and said in a low voice, "It's the same if you give a copy to the priest later, anyway, it's not too late."

Bai Wu returned to her smiling face, "Let's get ready for dinner first."

Now that it's cold, they eat in the kitchen most of the time.

The wooden table in their house is also of mortise and tenon structure, and it is not too big. Eight dishes, one soup and one cake are placed on it, which makes the whole table full, and even some dishes have to be stacked on top.

Chuan glanced, "Wu, take the food box and reserve the food for the priest first."

The food box is also a new product made by their family. It is somewhat similar to a lunch box. Bai Wu asked a carpenter to make ten of them, and they can be stacked very high.

Bai Wu muttered, "He doesn't even want to come over to eat, so he left food for him. When it was delivered, the food was cold, what's the point?"

"Maybe it's something." Chuan patted him, "Didn't you say that these dishes can be saved for tomorrow? Pretend a little more."

After all, Bai Wu said, it's better to fill up every lunch box.

He even cut two small pieces of the cake.

Looking into his family's eyes, he explained: "It's not good for him to eat alone, I'll eat some with him."

Chuan nodded.

After Bai Wu had finished a meal with his family, he specially brought a lunch box to fly up to find Nan Yao.

Father and brother have already entered the room to sleep, and the house is very quiet.

Bai Wu stood outside the door and thought for a while, then tiptoed to the utility room.

He dug out the red melon wine that had been stored at home for a long time.

These wines have been settled, open it and smell it, there is a unique aroma of red melon.

Bai Wu directly took a sip from the bottle. The wine was a bit bitter, but also a bit sweet. The taste of the wine was not very strong. It was more like fruit juice than wine, and the taste was very good.

This altar of wine was specially brewed for Nanyao.

At the beginning, he said that he would surprise Nan Yao when it was ready, but he didn't expect to delay it for so many days, and he didn't bring it to him until now.

Bai Wu took the wine and flew up to look for Nan Yao.

Before he reached Nanyao's nest, he heard a melodious flute sound.

The sound of the flute spread far away at night, with a hint of melancholy in the sound.

Bai Wu looked down from high in the sky and found Nan Yao under the dim starlight.

He was not in the den, but sitting outside playing a bone flute.

It was the first time Bai Wu knew that he could play musical instruments, and he was so shocked that he even forgot to flap his wings and just glide and rush down.

Nan Yao finished blowing the last note, took the bone flute back, and looked up at him.

The two looked at each other in mid-air, and Nan Yao beckoned him to go down.

Bai Wu fell to the ground, his whole body was still immersed in the melodious sound of the flute just now.

He changed back into human form and put on a fur coat, "This is the first time I know you can blow this."

Nan Yao came over to pick him up, "The priests all know a little bit, have you seen it before?"

"Yes. We call it a flute, but I can't play it."

"If you want to learn, I will teach you next time."

"What if you can't teach?"

"Blow it to you."

After a few words, the two looked at each other with faint smiles in each other's eyes.

Just now, Bai Wu felt that he was full of immortality, like a banished immortal, but now he finally felt that the other party was the priest he was familiar with.

Bai Wu complained: "Father was specially asked to come here to invite you, why don't you go down to eat? I also cooked a lot of dishes, and I plan to celebrate together."

"The people from the long-legged family came to discuss things with me just now."

"What are you discussing? Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

"Everything is fine."

"That's good. Come on, get ready to eat." Bai Wu looked at the food under his hands with regret, "It's a pity that the food is already cold."

"It doesn't matter, you may not be able to eat hot meals every day."

"That sounds a bit pitiful." Bai Wu smiled, "If you want to have hot meals and hot dishes, just come to my house for a meal."

As Bai Wu said, he opened the red melon wine specially, "The gift I said I would give you before is finally ready now, you can smell it and see if you like it?"

"What is this?"

"Wine." Bai Wu described it with gestures, "It's a drink that makes people feel hot all over, makes their heart beat faster, and makes their consciousness hazy."

Nan Yao laughed after hearing his description, "It doesn't sound like a good thing."

Before drinking the wine, Bai Wu's cheeks were warmed by his laughter.

Bai Wu poured the wine into the spade bowl, reached out and raised the black pottery bowl, "Do you dare to try it once?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Nan Yao took the bowl and took a shallow sip.

Bai Wu looked at the look on his face expectantly by the dim oil lamp, "How does it taste?"

"A bit sweet, a bit bitter." Nan Yao took another sip, "It's a very special taste."

"Yes, it has a very special taste. Many people in my dream like it, and they prefer the hazy feeling after drinking it."

Bai Wu said and took a big gulp.

He didn't know if it was because of the wine or because of people, he looked at Nan Yao and felt his heart beating a little faster.

Blood was rushing through his blood vessels, like a raging river, rushing against his blood vessels, making his eardrums roar.

He hurriedly ate a chopstick of grilled lamb chops to suppress the strangeness, "Speaking of which, we are together every day, and we haven't talked much."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk about the lie I tell every day."

Bai Wu felt that he was really drunk, otherwise the opening would not be so straightforward.

However, he finally said it out, and he didn't want to swallow it back.

He didn't want to hide it from Nan Yao anymore.

Nan Yao looked at him fixedly.

Bai Wu sighed, and said in a low voice: "It feels like you have already seen it. I actually carry the memories of my previous life. But my previous life was not in this land of orcs, but in another world."

"It's okay, you're still you."

"When I first awakened my memory, did you think that the person in my body was not me?"

"Well." Nan Yao added after finishing speaking, "But your eyes tell me that you are not a bad person."

"You can see that too? What's the difference between eyes and eyes?"

Nan Yao nodded.

Bai Wu smiled again, staring at his handsome face, "What if I guess wrong and I'm a dangerous person, what should I do if I bring trouble to the tribe?"

"you are not."

"Thank you for your trust. Come on, let's have another bowl."

"You can't drink."

Nan Yao put down the bowl, grabbed his wrist, and gently put the wine bowl in his hand on the table.

Nanyao's hand was very hot, with a big metacarpal with distinct knuckles and slender fingers, easily pulling Bai Wu's entire wrist in his hand.

Bai Wu felt that his wrist was going to be burned.

The heat was more obvious than the carbon fire, Bai Wu's hands trembled, and he held them firmly again.

"Maybe the reason for my health in this life is far from being able to drink in my previous life." Bai Wu laughed at himself, "I've already confessed so frankly, why don't you have any special reaction?"

"I knew it a long time ago." Nan Yao said in a low voice, "Otherwise, I wouldn't pay special attention to you."

"what?"

The evening wind was a little strong, Bai Wu was a little drunk, so he didn't hear his words clearly.

Nan Yao said, "I also have a secret."

Bai Wu trembled: "Can I hear you?"

"Who else can I tell?"

"You," Bai Wu breathed out a faint sweet smell of wine, his eyes full of hesitation, "you—"

Bai Wu subconsciously wanted to stop Nan Yao, but Nan Yao stared into his eyes and said slowly and firmly, "Priests can have a partner."

"I know, but the descendants of priests are not necessarily priests." Bai Wu said, "I also know that you priests have some special skills, such as witchcraft, but I have never seen you use them, and it feels a little strange."

Priests in this world actually know a little witchcraft, such as divination.

Bai Wu knew that the priests of the Lion Clan could do divination.

However, the priest of the Lion Clan is an orc and has little say in the tribe, and the Lion Clan people don't take him seriously.

But it does not hinder the specialness of the priest.

Bai Wu said: "If this is considered a secret, I have to tell you a secret - I don't like orcs."

Nan Yao's hands froze, and he asked in a low voice, almost word for word, "Why?"

Bai Wu felt that he was really drunk, and the words jumped out of his mouth uncontrollably, "In my previous life, the world was divided into two types of people, male and female. I, I never thought that I could still like the same sex."

Nan Yao seemed to be stunned for a while before saying, "Beastman and you are not of the same sex."

"That's what you say, but we are not of the opposite sex. You see, I have what you have. If you don't think there is something wrong between the two sexes, we can still take a bath in the same pool. What is the difference between us?"

"What do you think of other sub-orcs?"

"homosexual."

"Other orcs?"

"Essentially the same sex." Bai Wuyue said lower, "We have nothing different, and I don't have any special thoughts about them."

"Who don't you want to start a family with?"

"I already have a family now. Everyone's life span is so long. There is only a twenty-year difference between Yafu and I. Even if everyone lives to be two hundred years old, they will be enough to accompany me for most of my life."

If life was not too long, Bai Wu would not be obsessed with building a house, which is so troublesome.

After Bai Wu finished speaking, she looked at Nan Yao.

For the first time, Nan Yao showed a dazed expression in front of him.

Bai Wu reached out to touch him, but couldn't touch him across the table.

Bai Wu simply moved her body, sat across from him to his side, touched him with her elbow, her eyes were full of worry, "Is my idea strange?"

Nan Yao came back to his senses and said, "It's not too strange."

"That's right. I also know that some ideas are incompatible with this place, but I really carry the memories of my previous life, and some ideas can't be integrated."

Nan Yao said, "It's different."

Nan Yao spoke abruptly, but Bai Wu was interrupted by him, showing surprise and bewilderment, subconsciously asked: "What?"

"Orcs and sub-orcs are different, and their body structures are different."

"This, you mean the genital cavity?"

Nan Yao remained silent.

Bai Wu did not hesitate, "Maybe the body structure is really slightly different, and it is not exposed to the outside. From the outside, we are the same. If we ignore the reproductive function, we are indeed the same. What beastmen can do I can do it all, and with tools and intelligence, I can do it better."

After Bai Wu finished speaking, he found that Nan Yao was silent again, and he realized belatedly, "Is it inappropriate to talk about this topic?"

He remembered that Nan Yao was a priest after all, so he might not accept such a view.

Thinking of this, Bai Wu panicked a little, "It's okay, if you don't like to talk about it, we won't talk about it, friends seek common ground while reserving differences."

Nan Yao finally said, "It's not inappropriate."

Bai Wu hurriedly shook her head, "It's okay, maybe these topics are really uncomfortable. I won't talk about this in the future, come, eat vegetables, try today's cake."

Bai Wu said, carrying vegetables for Nan Yao.

The dishes on the table were so rich, but Nan Yao's interest couldn't be higher in the second half.

Bai Wu was worried that she had offended him, and she blamed herself and panicked.

The mood of the meal was rather sombre.

Bai Wu even felt a little tasteless.

He looked down at the table in front of them.

Nanyao lives alone, so there is no need to make a table.

This is what Bai Wu asked a carpenter to make when he was making lunch boxes and other small furniture.

When he brought the table over, Nan Yao didn't say anything and just used it.

When Bai Wu bought some furniture for his own house, because it didn't conform to his family's usage habits, he had to persuade them a little bit, so that they could gradually adapt.

Thinking of this, Bai Wu became even more sad, and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk about this topic, maybe because I drank too much wine today, my mind is not clear."

"It's my problem." Nan Yao gently pushed him, with a gentle voice, "I'll clean up the table, you can sit next to you and rest for a while, do you want to go to the hot spring today?"

"I want to go, I brought all the soap, and I have to take a good bath during the Chinese New Year."

"Drink some water, we will go later."

Seeing that his expression became gentle, Bai Wu thought that the matter was over, and felt relieved all of a sudden.

He sat by the side, watching Nanyao bustling around, packing up all the food properly.

After finishing work, Nan Yao came out, "Have you brought your clothes? Let's go take a shower now."

"I've brought them all. Under the basket, I've replaced the newly made clothes and even my underwear with new ones."

The materials here are relatively poor, and the cloth weaved cannot be used indefinitely.

Even if he is as rich as white, there are only two sets of close-fitting underwear.

The new set is the third set.

There was a hole in the butt of the last set, and he couldn't replace it, so he had to sew it up and make do with it.

It's just that the torn clothes are torn after all, even if they are sewn well, they still hurt their buttocks.

When Bai Wu pulled back the tie of his clothes, he sighed softly, hoping that their conditions would be better next year, at least they would not be short of food or clothing.

Nan Yao turned sideways to avoid his figure, "Can you still fly after drinking that wine?"

"That's definitely no problem. Look, I can walk well."

Bai Wu spoke firmly.

When he really flew into the sky, he felt like everything was wrong?

Even the mountain below was crooked, and he couldn't keep his balance as a whole bird, and kept flying crookedly forward.

Hey!

When he walks in human form, he can clearly walk in a straight line!

"Chirp—"

Bai Wu called out, indicating to Nan Yao that he had to go down and rest for a while.

It's a trivial matter to fly crookedly, if he is not sure and bumps into a mountain, it will be bad.

Nan Yao glanced at him, flew over, and flew to his side.

Bai Wu thought he was going to tell her something, but didn't care.

Unexpectedly, after Nan Yao flew to his side, he lowered his head and flew under him.

Then Bai Wu felt himself being carried.

He was actually carried by Nan Yao?

Bai Wu was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to her senses.

"Jiu Jiu Jiu!" Bai Wu was a little anxious, struggling to get off his back.

According to the bird orcs, an orc cannot carry a sub-orc for no reason, unless they have a special relationship.

Nan Yao let out a low cry, signaling him to squat down and not fall.

Struggling in the air was too dangerous, after receiving his signal, Bai Wu stopped struggling, but still felt uneasy.

For the first time, Bai Wu climbed on the back of a certain orc in animal form.

He was only carried by his father before, and he was still in human form when he carried it.

At that time, his father was afraid that he would not be able to lie on it stably, so he tied him up with vines.

For the first time, he knew what it was like to climb on another person's back in the form of a beast, and to be carried and flew.

This feeling was both novel and exciting, and he looked to the side with a pair of eyes.

Today is New Year's Eve, there is no moon, and even the stars are dim.

In his field of vision, the mountains, rivers, waters, and stars seem to have changed their angles, making them look extraordinarily different.

He is neither in heaven nor on earth.

Between the two, he felt the vastness of the two.

The howling cold wind blew past his cheeks, and even threatened to knock him off Nan Yao's back, but he wasn't afraid at all.

Even if he really didn't have a good balance and accidentally fell, Nan Yao would definitely catch him.

Nanyao's nest is not far from the hot spring, and Nanyao arrived after flying for a while.

When Bai Wu got off Nanyao's back, she had already forgotten her worries, and only thought about it, "It's so comfortable on your back."

"You're the first person to say that."

"Hey, who else has climbed on your back?"

"No, you are the first."

"Because I'm the only one who has felt it, so I'm the first to say that? I thought you had memorized other sub-orcs."

"No, I picked it up with my claws."

"Hahahaha, I was also picked up by other orcs with their claws. When I was learning to fly, didn't I fall into the lake? They just picked me up with their claws. It's completely without dignity!"

After Bai Wu was uneasy, she became a little excited.

He suddenly remembered, "Didn't you say that you priests can also find a partner? Based on what you said to me before, who do you want to be a partner with?"

"No."

"Really do not have?"

"Besides you, who else can I be a partner with?" Nan Yao glanced at him, "It is estimated that in everyone's heart, you are my potential partner."

"Should I not delay your finding a partner?"

When Bai Wu said this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He rubbed his chest, feeling a little mean.

Maybe because Nan Yao is his only good friend, so he doesn't want someone closer to Nan Yao.

Bai Wu spurned herself, but couldn't let go.

His mind was in a mess.

Bai Wu forced himself to smile, "If you want to find a partner, I'll tell them. It's not difficult to resolve the misunderstanding. I heard from other sub-orc friends that there are many people who like you."

"No." Nan Yao said, "I don't want to find a stranger, so don't explain to me, please."

Bai Wu, "Do you have no feelings for other Asian orcs, or are you just too lazy to find them?"

"no feelings."

"Well, if I delay you, you must tell me." Bai Wu said, "Finding a partner is a very serious matter, you, don't delay this matter because of your friends."

Bai Wu didn't know his expression when he said this, let alone his voice was about to tremble.

Nan Yao looked at him and said suddenly: "Don't worry so much, you still can't take a shower."

"Wash and wash." Bai Wu said, "Speaking of which, we came to this hot spring and took a bath for so long. I haven't seen what you look like when you take a bath. Can you really take a look?"

Nan Yao pulled him to stand up, "If you want to see it, I will take you to see it."

Bai Wu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell for a moment, he just felt a little irritable.

That's why I tried my best to find a topic to cover up.

He must be drunk, otherwise why does he always feel sorry for Nan Yao when he stops?
