readx; In the woods, a group of sturdy figures quickly passed through it, chasing a few pheasants that were fleeing in confusion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shang Ke squatted on the tree, drew his longbow, and aimed intently ahead, the bowstring flicked, and an arrow shot out, and then a pheasant dog screamed and fell to the ground. Shang Ke didn't stop, he took his bow again, and pointed the arrow at the second target.
He didn't aim at the vital points, intending to capture one or two alive and torture the location of the oil. Even if the Leonin is not interested in developing it at the moment, it should be in their own hands. Moreover, the pheasant tribe invades the orc tribe, which inevitably requires frequent oil collection, waiting for the rabbit, and cutting off its resources, which is more efficient than tracking around aimlessly.
However, the lion people often kill the killer when they see the pheasant, and they do not leave a single alive after several pursuits.
"Fox, go home." After dealing with the pheasants, Mutu beckoned to Shang Ke in the tree.
Shang Ke jumped off the treetops with light movements and walked slowly to Mutu's side.
Mutu hooked his waist and lowered his head to bite him on the ear.
The group returned to the tribe with the joy of victory and a load of prey, and were warmly greeted by the tribesmen, and the children ran over excitedly and scrambled to ask them about the battle.
Mutu didn't pay attention, and saw two little foxes dominating his people. The picture of a big and two small living in harmony is not pleasing to the eye.
Shang Ke bent down and scratched the back of the necks of the two foxes with his hands. The little fox shrunk his neck and happily let go of the hand that hugged his thigh.
Mutu's eyes flashed slightly, is the back of his neck a fox's sensitive point? Try it tonight.
Shang Ke led the little fox to the other children and made a gesture of friendship to let them take good care of their new partner.
The eldest child immediately patted his chest and said that it was okay, but the little fox recognized it, and when he saw that Shang Ke was not with them, he immediately turned around and ran back to his mother.
Shang Ke looked at the fox woman not far away and frowned slightly. Before he could make a move, a pair of big hands pulled him to his side, and then he heard Mutu's dissatisfied voice: "Don't entangle with her." ”
Shang Ke glanced at him: this worry was unnecessary.
He explained it yesterday, and it turned out that this jealous guy tossed him around for a night and didn't pay attention at all.
The two went to the warehouse together, began to count the prey, recorded each person's harvest, and then distributed them one by one. Two-thirds of each harvest is distributed according to work, and the other third, half goes to the patriarch and the other half to the storehouse. If the harvest is relatively small on the day, the reserves in the warehouse are used.
Today, Shang Ke has promoted breeding among the tribes, and half of the livestock raised by each family is publicly owned and half is privately owned. When it is developed in the future, this distribution method will be changed accordingly.
Many of the leon orcs have little interest in growing fruits and vegetables, but in order to raise their livestock, they have planted a lot of pasture, which is green, which also adds vitality to the tribe.
Shang Ke took his share of food and prepared to go back to cooking, when he ran into Karona and her children on the way.
"Yanu, we ...... Can we come to your house for dinner? Karona asked cautiously.
Seeing that she was empty-handed, she obviously planned to go to his house to eat white food.
Food is very precious to orcs, and unless there are special circumstances, no one will give their food to others for no reason, and Shang Ke is no exception. Every time other orcs of the lion clan come to his house for dinner, they will bring their own ingredients, and Kairona is an outsider, so it is impossible to have any preferential treatment.
Shang Ke shook his head, walked around her and continued to walk back.
"Yanu." Kairona hurriedly stopped him and said with a sad expression, "You said that you would take care of our mother and son, we haven't had enough food for several days, and the food distributed to us by the tribe is not enough to eat, I really don't want to watch the children go hungry." ”
Shang Ke was in charge of distributing the food, and he knew very well how much food Kairona had distributed, although it was not much, but it was enough for them to satisfy their hunger. As a newcomer to the Aliens, Kairona should understand the truth of contentment. You can't always use your children as an excuse to ask for charity.
Shang Ke looked at the two little foxes, his eyes flashed slightly, he didn't pay much attention to it yesterday, but when he looked at it again today, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The little fox has a yellow face and thin muscles, and his spirit is poor, which is obviously the result of long-term malnutrition. On the other hand, although Kairona has injuries on her body, her complexion is ruddy, her body is plump, and she is full of energy, and she does not look like she has suffered at all. Can this difference happen to a mother who loves her children?
Shang Ke raised his eyes and looked at Karona in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
When Karona saw him staring at her, her expression became even more pitiful.
Shang Ke wanted to say: leave the children behind, and the adults please be mellow.
The only people in the tribe who can give him preferential treatment are children and disabled elderly people who have contributed to the tribe. It's a pity that he can't speak, it's too troublesome to use sign language, so he can only ignore it for the time being.
Just thinking about it, Mutu, who had finished handling the business, walked towards this side with a relaxed step, and when he saw Kairona, his originally happy expression immediately became unpleasant.
"What are you doing here?" When it comes to incomprehensible style, Mutu is definitely a good hand. What's more, this female also has a leg with his partner.
A hint of timidity flashed in Kairona's eyes, and she politely greeted Mutu, and then made an excuse and left, even the little fox forgot to take it with them, and they chased after it themselves.
"What is she looking for you for?" Mutu pulled Shang Ke's big tail and turned on the interrogation mode.
Shang Ke pointed to the ingredients in his hand, and then to his mouth.
As if he had been summoned by something, Mu Tu leaned over and kissed him on the mouth, and after kissing him, he said coldly: "Don't think that you can offset your sin of stealing people with beauty and food." ”
Acceptable: ...... Sometimes they really can't communicate, and their minds are not on the same channel at all.
At night, to feed this lion, you can still use the sand table and gestures to reaffirm that he has nothing to do with the fox woman, and don't try to use this excuse to "corporal punishment" him!
However, a certain lion seems to be selectively mentally retarded, grabbing his tail, insisting that he is distracted, and then tossing and turning like this, and unreasonably asking him to give him a litter of lion cubs, otherwise he will hang a bell for him every day.
In the end, Shang Ke became angry, stuffed a piece of the original version of Yellow Lotus into his mouth, and forcibly lost his exuberant * and arrogant arrogance.
The next day, Mutu took his people out hunting again, and tracked the pheasant dog by the way. Shang Ke was too tired to catch up with the large army, so he stayed in the tribe and did manual work with the others.
The foreign orcs taken in by the lion clan have also assigned their own tasks, and will be given corresponding material rewards according to their labor efforts in the future.
Shang Ke has experienced many worlds and mastered a wealth of knowledge and skills, but he did not come up with anything shocking, but improved the original products and technologies to gradually improve the living standards of the orcs.
The knowledge structure of the orcs is too rudimentary, many concepts and habits cannot be changed, they are good at imitation, but they do not know how to use their wisdom. What Shang Ke wants to teach is not some kind of advanced technology that has been perfected, but the way of thinking and the process of doing what it creates.
Before you know it, a busy day has passed. Mutu and the others returned with a full load, and this time brought back a few exiled orcs. Shang Ke entered them into the foreign register, and then counted and distributed the supplies.
When everything was done, Shang Ke saw Kairona coming over with the child again, and said with a face full of grievances: "Yanu, why did I get less food today than yesterday?" ”
Shang Ke turned around and motioned for her to follow.
There is a clay kiln in the tribe, which can produce dozens or hundreds of clay blanks every day. At the bottom of each clay object, the name of the maker is engraved.
The orcs originally did not have the habit of carving their names, but later under the influence of Shang Ke, they gradually formed a custom. Mutu also stipulates that a batch of high-quality pottery is selected every month and the makers are rewarded and honored, so people are even more keen to leave their own mark on their objects.
Shang Ke walked to the corner, where several strangely shaped clay billets were placed, which contrasted sharply with the round and upright clay billets around them.
Those strange clay blanks are from the hands of Kairona, and it stands to reason that making pottery is a skill that most orcs can master, but Kairona is not only slow, but also has an extremely irregular shape, and the clay blanks made are basically the same as scrap.
Shang Ke's meaning is obvious: you do your job so poorly, you naturally get less food.
Kairona felt aggrieved: "The injuries on my body are not healed, and my fingers are not flexible, so it is inevitable that I will do something worse." ”
Shang Ke is unmoved: if you do poorly, study hard.
The orcs he knew, even if they weren't good at pottery, would still have no problem making some simple bottles and jars. But as if she had never worked, she couldn't even hold a bowl.
There are also some "nobles" in the tribe who do not have to do heavy work, but they often have expertise in other areas, such as the "witch doctors" who have been driven out before. The fox woman in front of her is obviously not among the "nobles".
"You said you would take care of our mother and son." Once again, Kairona moved out for this reason.
It's just once or twice, and it's just boring to talk about it all the time. Shang Ke has a good cultivation and will not bother with her, but he has already included her in the list of insignificant passers-by in his heart.
His so-called "care" only ensured that they had a place to live and basic living necessities, and would not be bullied by other orcs, but he never said that she could not work, eat and drink for nothing, and enjoy VIP treatment. Even Mutu, who is the patriarch, will not get something for nothing.
Shang Ke ignored Kairona's accusations and grievances, and left after pointing out the situation.
Karona looked at his back and stamped her foot angrily.
In the evening, Shang Ke made some more snacks, and planned to call Mutu to send them to the two little foxes.
"I'm not going." Mutu refused without thinking about it, and asked him to give food to his partner's rumored lover's child, isn't this sick?
Shang Ke naturally didn't want to embarrass him, and specially called a few little orcs to add a meal to the little fox in the name of the game. He knew very well that the food he had given to Kairona was only half full. With Kairona's laziness, the two little foxes will probably have to endure hunger for a long time.
The group arrived at Kairona's quarters, in front of a small mud house.
There was a fire burning in the room, silently, as if no one was there.
Before Shang Ke could knock on the door, a small orc had already pushed the door open with a big grin, and several panicked low-pitched cries were immediately heard from inside.
Shang Ke looked to see that Karona was not in the house, and the two little foxes were curled up in the corner, looking in horror at the people who suddenly broke in. Seeing Shang Ke's figure, his expression eased slightly, but he still didn't move.
Strange, where did Kairona go?
