"You can prepare your own things for the winter first. We orcs are frost-tolerant and will not have problems. Barron laughed, as if to resolve a knot, and his smile became even more bold.

Barron's smile brought a trace of pressure to Zhong Xuyao's heart. The idea that had been surging up before came to mind again.

Zhong Xuyao temporarily put down the thoughts in his heart and smiled gently: "I know." ”

The previous idea was not suitable for such a situation, otherwise it would cause confusion.

"Uncle Patriarch, I'm hungry." Bernie clutched his stomach and said pitifully.

"I've arranged for the orcs to catch the beasts. It is ready to eat right away. This time, even some eggs were brought over, one for each person. "Barron

"Thank you, Uncle Patriarch." Bernie's eyes were full of smiles.

Since eating eggs, she has long liked this food, especially after eating the scrambled eggs made by Zhong Xuyao.

"You know how to eat." Nikita spat softly.

"You have to take care of it." Bernie

"It's over, these two start again." Millie

"Let them be." Ellen laughed.

The others came back with cocoons one after another, because there were so many broken cocoons in the pile, and this time, the number of cocoons obtained had almost reached an exaggerated level. 300 bamboo frames, 200 large bamboo frames have been filled with broken cocoons. The other medium-sized bamboo frames are also filled with 50 pieces. You only need to find another 50 bamboo frames.

Don't look at just a medium bamboo frame, a bamboo frame can hold nearly 4,000 cocoons. And the giant frame can hold tens of thousands.

Zhong Xuyao estimated that after going back this time, he would not use it for a while. She was truly stunned by the efficiency of the tribesmen.

They did say before that women cleaned up the broken cocoons on the ground, but not all the broken cocoons were collected by women, more orcs. Many orcs even rushed into the forest directly with an oversized bamboo frame, holding a makeshift broom in their hands, and swept the broken cocoon into the bamboo frame.

This method is significantly faster than the speed at which women can take them one by one.

After getting so many things, there were smiles on the faces of those present. If, as Zhong Xuyao said, these broken cocoons can replace animal skins, then the animal skins they hunt can be preserved, and when necessary, they can eat animal skins for food.

Three large stone pots were erected, one filled with clean water and the other two for unknown meat.

Since eating Zhong Xuyao's cooking, Bernie has no interest in the meat that is being cooked now. Now I don't drool over food like I used to.

Even when they started cooking, the orcs didn't stop. Constantly flying between the forest and the bamboo frame. The cocoon is full, and all the orcs are looking for the complete cocoon.

In just one morning, all the baskets were loaded.

After eating and resting for a while, the group rushed to the tribe again.

Before leaving, Zhong Xuyao asked Yi Xiu to help her break a lot of mulberry tree branches and collect some insect eggs. Even now, she has not found a way to raise silkworms, but there are some things that can be prepared first.

In the tribe, someone has already set up a stone pot and boiled water. Wait for the cocoon to boil in water.

Some plant ash and hairy fruits have been placed in the boiling water.

For the production of cocoons, most people are already a little familiar with the road. Without waiting for Zhong Xuyao's command, he rushed to the stone cauldron and poured the cocoon in his hand into the stone cauldron.

"Elder Wu, Uncle Patriarch, can we talk alone?" Zhong Xuyao asked softly.

"Okay, go to me." Wu Lao said gently.

"Okay." Zhong Xuyao

"Xiaoxiao, I'll go too." Bernie

"You're here to guide them in cocooning. I'll be right back. "Zhong Xuyao

"Okay." Bernie pouted sullenly.

Yi Xiu came to Wu Lao's house with Zhong Xuyao in his arms.

"Xiaoxiao, if there's anything, just say it." Wu Lao

"Wu Lao, did you foresee anything, I always feel that when you talk about winter, you are a little worried." Zhong Xuyao said bluntly.

Others, though also afraid of winter, are now noticeably more cheerful. On the other hand, Wu Lao and Barron. But it's still like it hasn't solved the problem.

Ishu has said that the Witch Elder will pass on his knowledge to the next generation of Witch Elder Witch Age. will have special abilities, like the previous hunting, traveling, and days are all set by Wu Lao, which makes her have to wonder if Wu Lao has any special abilities.

"This ......," the witch elder frowned in embarrassment. This matter is very important, and she does not dare to divulge it easily, for fear of causing panic among her clansmen.

"Wu Lao, if you don't tell me, I don't know how to help." Zhong Xuyao spread his hands.

Elder Wu and Barron looked at each other before he spoke, "Actually, I won't hide it from you. I have two abilities, one is to pass on my knowledge to the next Witch Elder, and the other is to predict the weather. ”

"How long can you predict?" Zhong Xuyao

"Two years." Elder Wu sighed lightly, and she sat down on a piece of animal skin, "My prediction tells me that this winter will be cold, very cold, and maybe even colder than any previous year. ”

Zhong Xuyao's heart sank, no wonder, these two people care about winter. Even if I knew about spring bamboo shoots and woven clothes, I still didn't let go.

"Xiaoxiao, when we heard that all of your tribe are females, we guessed that you were an emissary sent by the gods to help us. It's just that I've never been sure. It wasn't until that time that Ishu forced you to drink blood that I dared to be sure. Wu Lao's eyes were fixed on Zhong Xuyao: "Xiaoxiao, I beg you to help the tribe tide over the difficulties. ”

"Don't say that, since I live in the tribe, I am naturally with the tribe. I'll do whatever it takes. Zhong Xuyao said solemnly. She now lives in the tribe, and even if she has a farm to back her up, she still needs to add some survivability.

"Thank you!" Wu Lao

"Elder Wu, can you be sure of the time of winter? Please tell me more about it. "Zhong Xuyao

Wu Lao nodded: "The time of this winter is about four months. ”

"Four months? What is your standard for judging winter? Zhong Xuyao said strangely.

"We will follow the snow, and after the snow falls, it will be winter, and the snow will turn into spring." Wu Lao

"In other words, there will be four months of snow this year." Zhong Xuyao

Ixiu's face changed, and they almost never met during the four months of snowfall. In the past, most of the snow fell for two months, and two and a half months is very rare. The three-month snow period is already catastrophic. Now there are four months of snow. He could scarcely have imagined what would become of the tribe in the end.

"Yes, it's still spring, but it's time to do it." Wu Lao sighed lightly.

Four months of winter, which they never encountered. What the consequences will be, they are not clear, but one thing is clear. There will definitely be a herd attack.

In the absence of food, wild beasts will form groups to attack the tribe and snatch some food. If during this time, the orcs are not able to consume the necessary energy, then, they will become lambs to the slaughter.
