Xu Zheng has the bad habit of stuffing things into his personal space, many times when things are received, he will stuff them into his personal space, and after a long time, he can't remember what he stuffed into his personal space. At this time, I rummaged through it for a while, and found more than thirty pieces of dried meat, including four wind chickens made by Lucina. Then I remembered that it seemed that Lucina had asked her to give it to Garcia and Forrester for their New Year's celebration, and she took it and stuffed it into the space, and then turned her head and forgot about it.

To make the fire bigger, I broke dry branches and built a makeshift barbecue grill on which to roast dried meat and chicken skewers. Balil was no longer afraid of Xu Zheng at this time, and walked over and sat down next to him, his tail constantly beating the ground happily, and the circle of golden retrievers on the tip looked even more brilliant in the firelight. Hank and Aaron were still a little afraid, so they only dared to shrink behind Balil and peek at Xu Zheng.

The second batch of barbecue meat began to smell immediately, and Balil stretched his head to Xu Zheng and said, "I still want it." It's delicious!"

Dori pulled his tail and dragged him over, reprimanding, "Don't eat any more!"

"Why?" Xu Zhengqi said: "There are still some more, it's okay to eat more." ”

Dori shook her head and said, "I usually eat less, but suddenly eating so much at once will cause problems." ”

Xu Zheng felt a sour feeling in his heart, the rich and noble people eat less, because they are afraid of fat and dare not eat more, and the poor people eat less, that is because there is not enough food to eat. The Tiger Clan, is this how they are struggling on the line of life and death?

I didn't hear Nordin mention it, nor did I hear Dori complain, it seemed that the Tiger People accepted all this calmly and endured it. But he lived a tenacious and unyielding life.

Xu Zheng didn't dare to say more, and slowly turned the branches in his hands, and couldn't stop thinking about such a situation. Is it really fair?

Mark walked over and sat down beside Xu Zheng, habitually clasping his hands on his knees, looking at Xu Zheng's barbecue pieces. Xu Zheng felt furious when he saw him like this, pulled his hand away, stuffed a branch into his hand and taught him to barbecue, and didn't let him maintain this kind of helpless action. Lulu stared at the side, and when he saw that the pieces of meat were passed around, he couldn't get his turn, so he became dissatisfied. glared at Xu Zheng with a jealous face.

There are about eight pieces of barbecue in this batch, and they are directly roasted to the aroma, and the little tigers on the left and right smell the fragrance, at least fifty or sixty, Xu Zheng looked at it. A plush piece of tiger head, round eyes staring at himself - the roast meat in his hand.

Being watched by so many pairs of eyes, Xu Zheng felt a sense of accomplishment and said with a smile: "Come on, come on!"

Keep swinging the ultimate mage dagger. Slice the roasted meat and let the tigers pick it up.

The other little tigers saw that Xu Zheng was a human. didn't dare to come over, but the three of Dori's family, especially Balil, were no longer afraid of Xu Zheng and broke free from Dori's hands. took a small piece in Xu Zheng's palm. No more dodging, munching contentedly. Hank and Aaron saw it. Only then did he walk up cautiously, take a piece in his mouth, and quickly run behind Dori and start eating.

Xu Zheng smiled, afraid of startling these little things, so he picked up the branches and stretched them out far away for them to take themselves. Seeing the reaction of the Duoli family, the rest of the little tigers had the courage to come over to fetch it, and a clatter and clattering sound soon sounded around Xu Zheng.

threw a piece to Lulu, and Lulu began to gnaw on it contentedly. After two bites, I saw a little tiger who swallowed fast swallowed a small piece of his own land, and was looking up at himself, his eyes were wet, glowing with water, revealing ** naked greed, which made it impossible to refuse at all. There was a great pain in his heart, and after a long time of choosing between the piece of meat and the look in his eyes, he still tore off a piece of his claw and handed it to him, causing a milky cheer.

Dori looked at the purring movement and smiled again: "Your demonic beasts are all like you." It's really lovely. ”

"Of course!" Xu Zheng was a little proud, slapped his ass violently, and said, "My brother! Hey, what a good job, give my brother a long face!"

Nocy smirked, "It's my brother, right?"

Xu Zheng was stunned, and he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, it's bigger than me." ”

The piece of meat was not big, and it was even smaller after cutting, so Xu Zheng began to roast the last batch. When a group of little tigers saw that Xu Zheng was close and kind, they were no longer afraid of him, and surrounded him one by one. has a clever mouth, and he doesn't know what Xu Zheng's name is, and he is already calling his brother affectionately. The word brother came out of the mouth of Xiaohu, who couldn't transform into a human yet, it was a joy to be disgusted, Xu Zheng smiled happily, and kept agreeing like a worm.

Balil had already dared to rush to Xu Zheng's thigh and wanted to squat on it. As soon as he sat down, he was lifted by Lulu with his tail, and the little thing slid down, and in a hurry, he hurriedly hugged Xu Zheng's leg with his paws, stretched his body and hung on it.

Xu Zheng laughed, plucked him like a fruit, and put it on his lap. He looked at Balil for a long time, and finally thought that his size was not a threat compared to his own, and as long as he was happy, he could slap him at any time, so he turned his head and stopped being weird.

While roasting meat, Xu Zheng asked, "Why is the clan like this......?" Uh......" He struggled to find a more euphemistic way to put it.

"Can't even afford to eat?" replied Nordin, explaining the situation very bluntly.

"Uh...... Be. Xu Zheng was a little embarrassed.

"It's always been that way. Nordin said: "It used to be better, but it was not too much." After migrating here, the situation got worse and worse, and after winter, food was hard to find. ”

Migration. Xu Zheng noticed this statement, and it was almost possible to conclude that the habits of the tiger people should be somewhat similar to those of the nomads, and they do not farm, and it is estimated that there is no fixed place to rest throughout the year.

"How do you get your food in general?"

Nordin scratched his head, turned his hair into a bird's nest, and said, "It's all the young men of the clan who go hunting, and the young and strong women also go." The weaker ones went fishing and picking wild fruits. It's just that human beings are growing stronger day by day, and they have hunted a lot of prey around them, and even the fish on the beach are almost gone. This forest is sparsely populated because of the little harvest. We're just here to stay. Food is scarce, and I don't know how to survive this winter. ”

"Why don't you try herding? Raise some cows, sheep and pigs or something, you can migrate, and they can go with you. When there is little prey. The crisis can be resolved in this way. ”

Nordin laughed dryly: "It's not that I haven't tried, and I haven't succeeded every time." Orcs are not as intelligent as humans, and no humans are willing to teach us. So......" he said very dryly, "we won't." ”

Xu Zheng didn't ask anymore, he could already imagine how difficult the life of the Tiger Clan was.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask again: "What do you do when you can't hunt food and have no other source?"

Nordin said: "It is impossible to hunt at all, the forest is still very generous." It's just that sometimes it's very difficult, and a lot of baby tigers die at this time of year. The mother of the Tiger Clan will also face a difficult choice at this time. ”

"What is it?" Xu Zheng had a strong bad premonition in his heart.

Nordin sighed. His expression darkened. Dori said softly: "Throw away the weak and sick, and keep the healthy and strong." Either feed all or don't, it is better to at least ensure that you can live healthy and strong. ”

"What?!" Xu Zheng lost his voice and said, "Don't you think it's cruel like this?" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt that he was talking like this. With no position at all, he immediately added: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." ”

"I understand. Dori said gently, "What can be done? In doing so, at least some of them can be guaranteed to survive." ”

Xu Zheng was silent again. Forced to be impatient. The method of superiority and inferiority is adopted to ensure that the entire ethnic group can survive. How great, yet how sad. In a trance, I suddenly recalled the scene when I saw the sheep jumping over the mountain stream in my previous life, and when I encountered the mountain stream was too wide, the weak always jumped silently first. When jumping to half the width. Jump again strongly, but the target is the one who jumps first. With its physical strength, he jumped again and successfully reached the opposite shore. And the one that was the stepping stone, when stepped on by this, could only scream and fall vertically, fulfilling the race and sacrificing himself.

What is the difference between the Tiger Clan's practice of abandoning the little tigers that are difficult to feed and this?

Nordin said: "Every year when it is the most difficult, the mother of the tiger clan will select the tiger cub that will be abandoned, and take it blindfolded to a distant place to abandon. The voice lowered, and he said: "I once accidentally passed by, and saw a little tiger at the bottom of the ditch kept barking, it happened to be raining, he was cold and hungry and kept shivering, and his voice was so desolate that anyone who heard it was sad." But I didn't dare to save him, I was afraid that if I got it back, not only would I not be able to support this, but even the other little tigers would not survive, so I had to harden my heart and walk away. How many nights have I dreamed of that cry, that cry in my ear, like ...... It's like I killed him with my own hands!"

Seeing Xu Zheng clutching the branch tightly, his face quickly turned pale, Dori hurriedly shouted: "Nordin, don't talk about this in front of the guests!"

"I'm fine. Xu Zheng said, only to feel that his heart couldn't stop being cold, and his heart shrank into a ball, which was cold and painful.

Nordin also realized that he shouldn't say this, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, my mother didn't throw me away." The second child threw away the third brother, and finally went to save it. ...... this year" He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Xu Zheng embarrassedly.

"Go, go, go, dead boy, that's all!" Dori chased him away and forced a smile, "This year will probably not be like in previous years." Well...... I pray every day that that doesn't happen. ”

Xu Zheng turned the hand branch in his hand in a daze, his mind was no longer on the barbecue, and in his memory, the sheep jumping over the mountain stream and the face of the little tiger were stacked together.

This winter, are you optimistic? I can't help but think of the scene when I first saw Dori's family and was eating dry bread. How many little tigers will be thrown away this winter? How many hairy faces that have gnawed on their barbecue will never be seen again? How many little tigers will be helpless and desolate in the rainy day, as Nording said?

Not half a single one!

If you see it, you can't sit idly by!

Xu Zhenghuo raised his head and smiled: "Yes! This winter, it will definitely not be like in previous years! The beast god has eyes! If he dares to let another little tiger be discarded, I will curse him for being blind!"
