Chapter 20: Live as an Old Monster
"Just wait until your wound heals." Wolf Xuan turned his head slightly uncomfortably, avoiding Xiang Nuan's crescent-like eyes.
"Well, that's all I can do for the past few days." Xiang Nuan glanced at his legs in distress, when will it be better?
"Xiang Nuan, I dug up medicine for you, and I'll give you medicine in a while." Red was holding a handful of Panax notoginseng in his hand, which should have just gone out to dig up.
"Okay, thank you Red." Xiang Nuan couldn't help but rub his red and soft hair, and then found that his hands had been stained with a layer of oil.
Xiang Nuan "......" forgot that they didn't pay attention to personal hygiene.
If you don't wash your hair or take a bath, the smell on your body will be more unpleasant when you get closer.
Because she was not familiar with it before, Xiang Nuan was embarrassed to say it, but after experiencing yesterday's hardships and hardships, she had put this place in her heart.
Unconsciously, I became close to everyone.
"Red, go to the river today to take a bath, wash your hair, pay attention to personal hygiene, love cleanliness, so that you will look better and not be easy to get sick." Xiang Nuan resisted the urge to touch his red head again.
Ziyun happened to come over and heard her words, "Xiang Nuan, what you said is true?" Is it true that you don't get sick easily when you take a bath? ”
Xiang Nuan nodded, this is all scientifically proven "Yes, taking more baths and changing clothes frequently can prevent getting sick." ”
Xiang Nuan didn't tell her about complicated things like bacteria, she just needed to tell Ziyun the result.
"Okay, I'll tell them." Ziyun happily turned around and left, conveying Xiang Nuan's meaning.
In the past, the orcs really didn't like to take a bath, and most of them just rolled in the grass, just forget it.
In the future, it can't be like this!
Xiang Nuan is a messenger sent by the beast god, and what she said must be right.
So, the rule of bathing frequently was formed in this small tribe on this day.
When the Starfall Tribe was established later, this rule was still in use.
After breakfast, the male orcs went out hunting, leaving the females and cubs, as well as wounded stones in the cave.
"Ziyun, aren't you going to collect wild fruits today?" Xiang Nuan stiffened her legs and moved to Ziyun's side, seeing that she had no intention of going out, so she asked.
"You and Shi are both injured, you won't go out today, and you'll go again tomorrow, anyway, if you have rice, it's okay if you don't have wild fruits."
Xiang Nuan thinks this is okay, anyway, the rice I brought back yesterday can be eaten for several days, and it won't be in the way if I don't go out for a day.
"Xiang Nuan, I want to make a few more bowls, that's very useful, let's use the bowls to eat in the future!" There are also back baskets, and a few more should be made, and in the future, wolves and them will go out, one per person, which is also more convenient. ”
"If you need my help, just say it." Xiang Nuan said supportively.
With Ziyun to worry about these logistical problems, it won't be a big problem to survive here.
"No, just me and Cao, you rest, you don't know when your injury will heal!" Ziyun was deeply worried about Xiyan's ability to recover.
How could such a little injury be so serious on her?
It's been a day, and it hasn't healed.
The wounds as deep as the stone have been closed, and they may begin to scab over tomorrow, but Xiang Nuan's wounds are still so serious.
Are the orcs of the ape clan so weak?
Xiang Nuan didn't know that Ziyun was still wondering about her physical condition!
Seeing that Ziyun really didn't need her help, Xiang Nuan could only move back to the stone bed and continue to lie down.
She felt that, judging from her current situation, it was better to lie down comfortably.
Shi was lying not far from her, and at this time she opened her eyes and looked at Xiang Nuan struggling there, "Xiang Nuan, is your injury okay?" ”
Shi was more curious about what happened to Xiang Nuan's injury.
If the injury is serious, it will not be able to move, but Xiang Nuan has been moving since he came back yesterday, although slowly, it is indeed moving.
It's not heavy, but today there is still no recovery, and it is still the same as yesterday.
This made Shi wonder, Xiang Nuan's injury, was it serious or not?
Xiang Nuan didn't know that once she was injured, the orcs began to be curious about her body!
"Shi, tell me about the Sunset Plain." Lying down and bored, Xiang Nuan is looking for a topic to talk about, it just so happens that she doesn't know much about the Sunset Plain, let Shi give her a popular science, the best of both worlds!
"Okay, I'm lying down and feeling uncomfortable, it's good to talk to you." Shi immediately agreed, he was not a person who could live idlely, if he wasn't afraid that the wound would open, he would have gone out for a walk.
At this time, it is just right to talk to Xiang Nuan to pass the time, and there is no need to be so boring.
The two hit it off, asked and answered, and two voices sounded in the cave.
With Shi's narration, Xiang Nuan also has a better understanding of the Sunset Plains and a deeper understanding of the orcs.
Only then did Xiang Nuan know that in the Orc Continent, it was a fifty-year-old adult, and the average life expectancy of orcs was three hundred years old.
At this time, Xiang Nuan is envious!
This is the rhythm of living like an old monster! She wanted to too!
Orcs are born in beast form, will transform at the age of ten, and after success, they will live in human form, changing as they please, and can only wait for the next opportunity after failure.
The success rate of transformation is very low, 1 in 10, so the cubs must accumulate enough energy before transforming to support the transformation of their bodies.
Otherwise, once an adult, before the transformation is successful, it will be in the form of a beast for the rest of its life, and it may be hunted as prey.
Therefore, the orcs pay special attention to and love the cubs.
There are too few cubs that can successfully grow up.
After hearing this, Xiang Nuan couldn't help but sigh, "Then you are very powerful, you have successfully transformed into a shape." ”
In Xiang Nuan's view, this is the best interpretation of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
If you successfully transform and become an orc, you will have some abilities that beasts do not have, such as transformation, such as your own talents, abilities, and so on.
What they pay is the pain of being transformed when they transform, and only by experiencing wind and rain can they see the rainbow.
These are the rewards that God has given them.
Shi said a lot, Xiang Nuan also knew a lot, and by noon, Xiang Nuan was hungry and planned to cook porridge, but he didn't see Ziyun and Cao.
Even Roco and Red, Xiang Nuan didn't see it.
Xiang Nuan wondered, could it be that he went out?
Xiang Nuan moved his stiff body, washed the rice with the remaining water in the wooden bucket, and then put it in the pot and sat and waited for the porridge to be ready.
At this time, Ziyun and Cao were pulling vines not far from the cave with their two cubs, and they planned to weave a few more baskets today.
"Let's do it quickly, leave the warm stone in the cave, I'm really not at ease." Ziyun sped up the movements under his hand and said to the grass.
"It should be fine, hasn't the surrounding area been cleaned up by the wolves? There will be no big beasts, we will just leave for a while, nothing will happen. The grass also sped up, but still calmed Ziyun.
But they didn't know that in such a short period of time, something really happened.
I don't know where the two mammoths came from, and suddenly followed the aroma of porridge and burrowed into the cave.
