76. Daily life in the snow season

,!

In the morning, the cold wind was blowing, blowing on people's faces like a knife cut, and the heavy snow was fluttering and sprinkling, like white butterflies dancing.

Xiaoxi stood on the platform in front of the cave, watching the long wind, Qing Cang and Feng Yuan continued to go out hunting in the wind and snow.

The platform in front of the cave was already full of prey, so Xiaoxi suggested that they bring large stones under the cave and enclose a wall one or two meters high to store the prey they had caught.

Wait until the pile is full, and then put a large stone on it to press, so that it will not be easily stolen by hungry animals in the snow season, and they can also store more food to eat in the snow season, so as not to let their male and small go hungry in the snow season.

Xiaoxi, it has been more than 20 days since they came to the Holy Mountain, and the little cub they treated at the beginning is now alive and kicking.

After the male cub was healed, the male of the mulberry leaf family sent a rather large prey as a reward for the creek to cure the cub.

Although Xiaoxi is not short of this prey, she still accepts it, only when they give, will they know how to cherish it, and they will take care of the cubs in the family more carefully in the future.

In the past twenty days or so, there will be orcs one after another, who will come to ask her to treat her cubs or females with some headaches and brain fever.

Most of Xiaoxi's treatment for these problems is herbal medicine, although the Western medicine used up in her pharmacy space can also be recopied, and the Western medicine will be more effective.

But Xiaoxi doesn't want the orcs here to become dependent on Western medicine, she will grow old one day, and the pharmacy space that follows her will also disappear, and Western medicine will only be used to treat patients when she has to use it.

The herbs in this world are very rich, and the last time she and Changfeng and Xiaoya went up the mountain to collect medicines, they found that the herbs here looked the same as most of the herbs in their previous lives.

When she has the conditions in the future, she will teach here, and the orcs with this talent will learn Chinese medicine, so that there will be no shortage of witch doctors in this world to treat orcs.

Xiaoxi touched her protruding lower abdomen, showing a gentle smile, she didn't expect this world to be so strange, a few days ago she went to check a female who was about to give birth, but heard that it only takes six and a half months for a female in this world to give birth from pregnancy to birth.

It's not surprising that she is only about two months pregnant, and her lower abdomen is slightly raised, according to this count, her cub will be born when the weather is warm, and I don't know if she will be able to return to the Misty Forest in time.

The brook turned and saw the cave with the wooden door closed, and opened the curtain of the long-haired grass cave and walked in.

The wooden door of the cave they pressed was made by the creek according to the current sliding door style, as long as a groove was cut out up and down the cave, and then the two wooden planks were put in the groove, and pushed back and forth, but it was not as easy to push as the current sliding door, which is also a fact.

But compared to other people's caves, there is only a piece of animal skin in the way, and it is much warmer inside.

Because the wooden door was pressed, there was a curtain of animal skin wrapped in long thatch, and there were often moonstones in the cave, and Xiaoxi felt that the cave they lived in now was no different from the heated buildings in the previous life.

Xiaoxi sat on the animal skin cushion and picked up the old clothes she had taken out of the space, the small quilts she had made for the unborn cubs, and a few small clothes that had not been finished.

The small quilt was filled with cotton wool that she and Changfeng picked on the slopes of the river in the foggy forest.

She folded the freshly made quilt and set it aside, picked up a few more pieces of her cut clothes, and began to pick up the bone needles and sew them.

Thinking that the snow had not stopped for ten days or so, and was now thick enough for the long wind to their knees, it was no wonder that they said that the snow would be as thick as her chest throughout the season.

During this time, because the weather is getting colder and colder, the prey they can bring back is becoming less and less, but according to what they say, they will not stop hunting until the snow is waist-high.

The snow season is too long, and the males eat a lot, so if they can catch a prey on this day, then this day will not go out and freeze in vain.

Changfeng and Qingcang were walking in the forest, and Feng Yuan was transforming into a Dapeng bird flying in the sky, which was why they would hit so many prey in more than twenty days.

Not only are Changfeng and Qingcang beasts powerful and brave in hunting, but also in the case of now, when it is difficult for orcs on land to find animals, they have Feng Yuan, a scout flying in the sky, as long as they see the prey, they have not let it run away.

Just like Feng Yuan was hovering in a place in the sky now, which meant that he had found prey here, Changfeng and Qingcang quickly ran in this direction, and sure enough, they found a huge toothed beast there, and there was a freshly bitten purr beast in its mouth.

Changfeng saw the purr beast in the mouth of the tooth beast, he was happy, and raised the corners of his mouth, this tender purr beast was enough for his little rabbit to eat a few meals, could this not make him happy?

Although a lot of purr beasts have been caught on the cave platform, Changfeng is still worried that the snow season is so long that the stream will not have enough to eat.

Because he was happy in his heart, he didn't use Qingcang to make a move, and the long wind pounced, and the toothed beast sensed the danger, and ran desperately, and even the purr beast that was biting in its mouth let go of its mouth and fell to the ground.

Even so, he was chased by Changfeng, and was bitten by the spirit wolf beast in a few rounds.

Several people hunted until the evening before carrying three or four large and small prey back to the cave, although there were not as many prey as before, and they could catch about ten a day, but compared to other orcs, they were also more hunting.

After all, animals are not stupid, standing there waiting for you to catch them, and the big beasts are even more needed, and several orcs can be caught without being injured.

With only two adult males like Changfeng and them, they can catch so much prey every day, which is not something that every orc family can do.

Qing Cang saw that not only was the platform piled up, it was full, but even the stone wall under the cave was not full, but there were already a lot of them.

It seems that although their males can't eat very much this year's snow season, they should have no problem surviving this long snow season.

The men had released their prey into the cave, and the stream was breaking up the prey they had prepared before leaving.

Seeing them coming back, Xiaoxi hurriedly took a piece of animal skin and skillfully dusted the snow off their bodies.

"It's so cold outside, why don't you know to come back early and see that this hair is wet." Several people heard Xiaoxi's concerned chatter, and their hearts were filled with a burst of warmth.

Seeing that they were all honest and didn't dare to reply, Xiaoxi stopped nagging in her mouth, and she was angry with them when she was so young.

Changfeng, Qing Cang and Feng Yuan glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths were hooked, and the little guy made a grimace.

When the brook had finished beating the snow on them, he was ready to go back and continue cutting the flesh of the beasts, not wanting to deal with the disobedient males.

As soon as she picked up the fruit knife and was about to continue cutting meat, the knife in her hand was taken over by Changfeng, "You go to the side to rest, and I'll cut the rest." ”

Xiaoxi didn't argue with him, walked to the side of the stone pier and sat down, and watched them do things.

Qing Cang took the beast meat cut into pieces and put it in a bamboo basin, and brought it to the fire pit to be roasted.

When he returned, Xiaoxi handed him a jar on the stone table, which was the porridge she had made with sweet rice, and in which she put animal meat and mushrooms.

Although the rice is sweeter, it is still delicious to boil porridge and drink, she touched the head of Feng Yuan who was following her, "You should also drink more at night, so that our little Feng Yuan will not, because the food at night is too greasy, and his stomach hurts." ”

Xiaoxi said this because a few nights ago, Feng Yuan found her because she had eaten too much barbecue and had a stomachache in the middle of the night, so Xiaoxi had to take a few words and give it to him.

Since then, Xiaoxi has asked him to eat something soft first and then a roast every night so that he won't have to fight his stomach.
