Chapter 1: Cold Winter (1)
Gu Xi rubbed his hands vigorously, his body was the fur of an unknown animal that a well-wisher put on him, even so, he still felt that his hands were no longer his own, it was really too cold, and his limbs were stiff when he was cold, he was still wearing a pullover of home clothes, and his feet were wearing a pair of sneakers that he casually put on when he went downstairs, not very warm, he learned from the people here to use small pieces of animal skin, wrapped his ankles, tied them with ropes, and wrapped them around his waist.
He looked back at the people in the cave who were hugging each other in twos and threes to keep warm, their faces were wrapped in thick fur, their faces were cracked by the cold wind, and he silently looked at the people in the corner who were trying to light a fire with flint, hoping that the fire would be lit soon.
Gu Xi reached out and touched the lighter in his pocket, looking at the person who was struggling to hit the flint, it seemed that the more anxious he was, the more difficult it was to light it, so he still decided to take out the lighter.
"Snap" the lighter lit the hay and put the lighter away under the man's shocked expression, in fact, he also wanted to take a cigarette out and smoke it, but he was quitting smoking and there was no cigarette in his pocket.
Who will sue him, where is this, he just fell when he took the express upstairs, and then woke up the world has changed, by the way, the express delivery, the express delivery is still there, two cartons, that's what he bought on Double Eleven, if it weren't for the fact that there were more things, the courier brother wouldn't be lazy and let himself go down to move, damn the courier brother.
The people who fell behind the team entered the cave one after another, and at the end of the team was the tiger with black lines on a white background, it was at the end of the team, the body was much larger than the ordinary tiger, almost as tall as Gu Xi, the white almost silver coat color was very beautiful, the black pattern was mighty and domineering, and the sharp eyes looked around vigilantly, it was ensuring that the surroundings were safe.
All the people entered the cave, Gu Xi watched the big white tiger change from a tiger to a human, which could no longer stimulate his nerves, as early as when he just woke up, he was frightened by a big tiger head approaching, he had to accept that the team he was in now was composed of people and people who could turn into tigers.
Huo Bai took out his own clothes from the animal skin bag and put them on, looked at Xi Leng's flushed cheeks, and took out a white fur from the bag, just enough to wrap around his neck.
"Give, surround up"
"Thank you" Gu Xi took it unceremoniously and wrapped it around his neck, at this time he couldn't wait to wrap himself into a ball.
"I'm Huo Bai, the patriarch of the Tiger Clan."
"My name is Gu Xi and I am from Earth"
"Earth?"
"Well, my hometown" Gu Xi looked at the white expanse outside the cave, not knowing if there was a chance to go back.
"Let's rest here for two days, the snow is too big, the cold winter is coming to an end, and it will be fine" His voice was low and firm, "What did you light the fire just now?" ”
Gu Xi spread out his palm and showed the lighter to Huo Bai: "This is a lighter, it is used to light a fire in our place, but the number of times it can be used is very limited." ”
Huo Bai nodded and asked Gu Xi to put it away, he had never seen such a thing, it looked very precious, Gu Xi's tribe must be very rich.
"Your tribe must be very rich, how could you faint in the snow?"
"Actually, I can't explain it, I don't know why I'm here, and I can guarantee that I have no ill intentions," Gu Xi said.
Huo Bai stared at the villain in front of him, yes, although Gu Xi's height had reached one meter eight, he was still a small man in front of him.
They are the nearby Tiger Clan, originally a village of 100 people, three days ago in the middle of the night, a sudden avalanche, not even half of the survivors were not even half, his father and mother were buried there, he took on the position of the patriarch of his father, led the surviving clansmen, looking for a new place to live, on the way to migrate, picked up Gu Xi who fell in the snow, Gu Xi was in a coma for two days.
He is a sub-beast, the sub-beast of any tribe is very precious, in the cold winter, the sub-beast is an important object of protection, it is impossible to let the sub-beast alone in the wild, this sub-beast does not have any smell on its body, that is to say, he does not belong to any tribe he knows, this sub-beast is dressed in something he has never seen, and his belongings are also very strange.
Huo Bai looked at Gu Xi, he was a very beautiful sub-beast, different from the ones he had seen a lot before, Gu Xi was really beautiful, clean, very thin, with short hair, revealing a smooth forehead, Huo Bai couldn't think of any adjective, he could only define it as good-looking, he didn't know why he appeared here, looking at him pretending to be strong, he thought, in fact, Gu Xi's heart was still a little scared.
The fire in the cave is burning in piles, the temperature is a little warmer, this cave is just on the leeward side, the cold wind outside can't blow in, the orcs with bodies go to look for food, many animals have entered hibernation in the cold winter, food is difficult to find, the food they originally stored is buried in the thick snow, not much can be rescued, and the avalanche is continuous, they are worried that it will continue, they can't stay longer, they can only dig out a part of the burial is not deep, most of those are given to the young tribesmen and sub-beasts. Some people set up stone pots and started boiling hot water, but there was no water nearby, so the snow could only melt, and the people who drank the hot water warmed up a lot.
Huo Bai handed Gu Xi a bowl of hot water, the bowl was made of stone, it was a little heavy, and he could only feel a little bit of temperature in his hand, maybe it was a relationship from another world, even the snow water was just as sweet, and after a mouthful of hot water, Huo Bai felt a lot hotter.
"Wow...... Wow...... "This is the little sub-beast of Mo Ken's family, he has just been full moon, Mo Ken has not eaten enough for the past few days, he also has a five-year-old little orc to take care of, his wife died in the avalanche, Mo Ken turned into a beast and wrapped the little sub-beast Mo Mo, curled up on the side of a small yellow tiger Mo Li, these days the little Mo Mo can only drink broth. Mo Ken was very anxious, but he also knew that there was nothing anyone could do, Mo Mo was too small, and he could eat too little.
Gu Xi still has a few toffees in his pocket, he is quitting smoking, there are a few candies in his pocket at any time, he peels off the candy and hands it to the little orc Mo Li who is feeding his younger brother water.
"Melt it in water for my brother to drink, this is for you" Mo Li looked at his father, saw his father nodded, then took it, put it in hot water, the toffee slowly opened, and the water began to have a faint milk sweetness, Xiao Mo Mo liked to drink it very much, and immediately stopped crying.
"It's so sweet, thank you, brother" Murray smiled happily and carefully fed his brother.
Gu Xi thought, fortunately, he met a very friendly tribe, in case he met those uncivilized tribes, maybe he would have died a long time ago, in such a place where food is scarce and the environment is harsh, this tribe has just suffered a great disaster, and it is really rare to be able to rescue him, an outsider, and even give him food without hesitation.
After a long time, a few tigers who had gone out to hunt came back with their prey, and this time they had harvested three fanged pigs, which was only enough for today's food.
It was the first time Gu Xi had seen such a big wild boar, more than twice as big as an ordinary wild boar, with fangs about half a meter long in its mouth, which made Gu Xi, who originally wanted to go out hunting together in the future, dumbfounded, the force value was not at the same level at all, not to mention that there were no weapons here, maybe he could study some simple tools.
The orcs have turned into beast forms, they can directly eat the fanged pigs raw, and they also need to get energy directly from the blood, they directly dragged a fanged pig away, Huo Bai did not go, he took the bone knife and began to disassemble one of the fanged pigs, and the cut meat was directly into the large stone cauldron that was still boiling one by one.
The smell of meat wafting in the cave was mixed with the smell of blood at the entrance of the cave, Gu Xi couldn't bear such a fishy smell, but at the moment he was not qualified to be picky, and now he had to fill his stomach to live.
"Are you throwing away all these bones?" Gu Xi asked.
Huo Bai looked at him, and the movements of his subordinates did not stop: "The big bone will be thrown to the little orc to grind his teeth."
Gu Xi really had such an expression, "This is too wasteful, the big bones can be boiled in soup, and the big bones after boiling are the same for the little orcs, can you help me break these bones?" ”
Gu Xi squatted down next to the fanged pig, pointed to the barrel bone of the fanged pig and said, Huo Bai directly broke the bone with a bone knife according to Gu Xi's meaning, the bone bone is very nutritious, Gu Xi's cooking skills are okay, he can make some home-cooked food simply, at least he doesn't have to order takeout every day, he is really fed up with the days when he often eats instant noodles, so he learned a lot of home-cooked food from the Internet, barely coping with it, I originally wanted to say that the internal organs of the fanged pig can also be eaten, thinking about it at the moment, there are no conditions to cook well, and the taste is weird if it is not done well, so let's wait for later.
"This bone knife is so powerful, what kind of animal bones?" Gu Xi wanted to take out the knife on the keychain, but now he saw that the bone knife in Huo Bai's hand could split the bones in one fell swoop.
"This is the bone on the bridge of the nose of the stone beast, the stone beast is very rare, and it is very fast, its body is as hard as stone." Huo Bai was a little proud, this was hunted when he was an adult, this is a very proud thing for orcs, many sub-beasts admired him very much when they saw this bone knife.
It's a pity that Gu Xi doesn't have the consciousness of being a sub-beast, he is just interested in the bone knife: "Can I try it?" ”
Huo Bai simply handed the knife to Gu Xi, Gu Xi took it in his hand, swung the knife and slashed at the barrel bone, and sure enough, it was split in half.
"It's so powerful" Gu Xi exclaimed, the bone knife in his hand was about the same size as an ordinary kitchen knife, but it was much heavier than a kitchen knife, and the blade was very sharp.
Gu Xi returned the bone knife to Huo Bai, put the severed bones into the boiling water for a while, and took a pot of water to stew again, the stone pot here is very large, about one meter in diameter, because the stone pot is relatively slow to heat up, it can only be stewed slowly: "This soup that has been boiled for a long time is very good for children and thin people, and you can drink it later." ”
Huo Bai skewered the fanged pork and sat by the fire to roast the meat, Gu Xi also took a skewer over to help roast it together, maybe because of the wild relationship, although this fanged pork only put a little salt, the taste is indeed good, but it is a little hard, Gu Xi finished eating a string, and his whole teeth were sour, but in this way, he was already full.
Huo Bai thought it was no wonder that he was so thin and small, not even half the food of ordinary sub-beasts.
"Are there any other tribes besides your Tiger Clan?" Gu Xi thought that he needed to understand the world.
"We are the Tiger Clan in the north, and there are the Lion Clan, the Leopard Clan, and the Bear Clan in the south, which are all relatively large ethnic groups, as well as various small tribes, and some of them are multi-racial living together."
…………
It was getting dark, the bone broth in the stone pot slowly boiled out the fragrance, Gu Xi drank a bowl, although it was still full of meaty smell, but he was also satisfied, and he also brought some meat bones to the little orcs to grind their teeth, everyone stayed quietly, they were all tired after three days of hurrying, they just wanted to rest early, the orcs who could transform into beasts wrapped their families, and the adult orcs who had not yet become a family took turns lying at the entrance of the cave to keep vigil.
Huo Bai hadn't closed his eyes for the past three days, and was persuaded by the clansmen to prepare for a night's rest, and saw Gu Xi sitting in the corner of the cave, covered with the animal skin given by the Mo Ken family, even if there was a fire roasting, it looked very cold, he walked over, and in an instant, he changed into a beast and circled Gu Xi's body with his body.
Gu Xi was tired in the past two days, and he slept in a daze, only feeling warm, and the wall he was leaning against was not so *, it was very soft, so he slept with peace of mind.
Huo Bai squinted, there was only the sound of the fire crackling in the cave, and he believed that he would be able to lead everyone to live.
