Chapter 13: Temporary Residence in Romir
Meimi is relatively small compared to the other orcs that Lianyue has seen.
She had fluffy brown curly hair, and she was not very old, she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was very shy.
Follow the little girl around the square for a while, near a hut.
From the outside, it doesn't look very tall, but once you walk inside, you can clearly feel that the house was made by digging into the ground, and for a tall man like Sal, moving around the room is not a problem at all.
Lian Yue walked around the house quite curiously, the things in it were very simple, and a layer of weeds on the ground could be used as a bed.
On the other side there are two stone platforms, one of which has some stone utensils placed on it, which can be identified morphologically as some stone knives, stone chips, stone hammers and stone bowls, etc.; On another stone platform, there are many unknown plants, and what is even more surprising is that there are two pottery vessels of different shapes, with a little black pattern on them.
It seems that this orc plane even has pottery, it should be in the Neolithic Age, but Lian Yue is not sure, his history is not good, and he can't make an accurate judgment.
However, judging from the use of their tools and the construction of houses, it seems that the living conditions of these orcs are still very good, at least not in the barbaric state of Ru Mao drinking blood.
I remember that when I first entered the tribe, I paid attention to it for a month, and there were not many houses in this tribe, only thirty or forty, some large and some small.
But Sal clearly said that there are nearly 100 tribesmen in the tribe, and nearly 100 people live in such a few houses, and there must be more than one person living together, so why is this hut near the center the little girl's home?
However, considering that Memi is a student of the priesthood, it is understandable that such people generally have a higher status.
However, remember that Sal once said that the priests in general are more intelligent imperfect beings, so Memi is also an incomplete body? Lian Yue couldn't help but think so.
Looking at Meimi's state, she is relatively short in height, looks like she has a deviant physique, and is relatively shy.
It seems to make sense to explain it with the lack of animal nature and momentum, and it seems that this is the real incomplete body.
Lian Yue was full of curiosity about this primitive tribe, and followed Meimi around several times to observe the living conditions here.
Due to the multi-racial situation, there are a total of six hunting squads like Thrall, with the powerful male orcs going out hunting, and the female orcs or orcs with less racial superiority going up the mountain to gather and cultivate food.
As for some underage orcs, they are handed over to a small number of elderly orcs to be raised, and occasionally follow to do some small things within their ability.
The cultivated land opened up here is not large, and it is mainly cultivated with a crop called bean rice, the fruit is large, about the size of soybeans, and can be boiled to achieve a full stomach effect after peeling, and is usually used as a reserve grain for the tribe in winter.
Half of the harvest is made up of fruits and proven herbs.
They seem to have mastered the simple handling technique of drying a portion of the excess fruit and herbs repeatedly and then storing them to cope with food and herb shortages.
Others are not very suitable for drying treatment, Lian Yue does not understand this principle, I saw them add some grass branches to it, and then soak it in water and store it.
It seems that most of the people of the whole tribe are purposefully doing some productive labor, hoarding food for the people of the whole tribe.
...
At night, the night sky of the Orc Continent is very bright, there is no haze in the city, and it is full of stars.
The starlight spread on the ground with the moonlight, and the temperature at night was only slightly lower, not to mention the moon who was still wearing a down jacket.
The other hunting squads returned with a satisfying harvest, while the women, led by Nana, were in charge of handling and distributing the ingredients.
Today's food comes mainly from the bears, because it is so big that it can feed the entire tribe for two days, and there is still a little leftover.
Nana, along with several women, used a sharp stone knife to cut through the flesh of the bear, separating the bear's flesh.
Seeing this, Lian Yue was also willing to help, and in a few breaths, the skin and flesh of the armored bear were completely separated.
In the astonished and frightened eyes of all the women present, she gave Nana her leather armor to clean and dispose of simply, and at Nana's orders, she cut the bear's flesh into thick chunks the size of a book.
When Nana had processed the meat and strung it with branches, a bonfire was lit in the square in the center of the tribe, and the rest of the tribe gathered in the square.
From time to time, some people looked at Lian Yue curiously, as if wondering who this strangely dressed person was.
Lian Yue tried her best to restrain herself from paying attention to her surroundings, and sat on the ground in the square next to the only familiar meow king.
Today's dinner seems to be barbecue and bone broth, and one person meows at the campfire in the distance, constantly sniffing the aroma around him, and his movements seem to be very consistent.
Before the meal, the priest Hilda slowly walked over and stood in front of Lian Yue, Lian Yue didn't dare to make any other movements, and with her waving hand, she followed her to the center of the square, standing in front of the colored stones.
"Today, there is a child of the beast god, the orc of the Yanhuang Dragon Clan-Ah Yue." She paused slightly, looked sideways at Lian Yue, and continued to say in a not loud voice: "The beast god brought her to our Romir tribe, because of Ah Yue, we can eat the armor bear meat again, here, let us sincerely welcome Ah Yue's arrival together." ”
In the square, the orcs of the tribe gathered around the bonfire for dinner, consciously forming several large circles, at this time, whether in the form of beasts or humans, they stared at the center and listened to the words of the priest.
"Welcome to Romir from today, Ah Yue." After that, the priest turned to face Lian Yue, at this time, Lian Yue realized that she was almost half a head taller than herself, but the whole person was very thin, the outstretched right hand bone joint was very thin, the palm lightly touched Lian Yue's forehead, and her voice was a little rough and a little hollow, and said, "God will bless you, my child." ”
Lian Yue didn't dare to move much, and accepted the priest's ritual with trepidation.
When I looked up, I found that the people in the square had stretched out their right hands, palms lightly pressed against their foreheads, like priests, in this way, inspiring their gods.
It took a long time for everyone to put their hands off their foreheads, they were so religious.
Faith sometimes makes people strong.
