167 frost season
It has been more than ten days since Changfeng took back the sweet rice crackers, and the alternation of the frost season and the hot season is seamless.
A few days ago, the sun was scorching, and the wind was already cold these days, the leaves on the big trees were rustled by the wind, and the weeds on the ground were also blown around.
Xiaoxi has been busy chopping down the vegetables in the valley these days, pickling them in clay pots, and going to cut a lot of bamboo shoots with Changfeng and coming back, pickling a lot of sour bamboo shoots, and eating them when vegetables are scarce in the snow season.
At this time, the prey that came back could not be frozen, but the animals in the forest had begun to migrate, and the creek could only let Changfeng and them come back first and make bacon for storage.
Looking at the six extra-large storage caves, piled with all kinds of grain and meat, Xiaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so much food can always allow their family to eat until the warm season comes next year.
During this time, there was no food left in the wild to recover, and it was not cold enough to store prey.
The creek went with the long wind, and the alpine jungle went to pick herbs, and the ginseng that the purr beast loved to eat.
When the first snowflakes fell in the air, the stream collected the radishes that had been transplanted from the valley and some of the remaining vegetables.
The cold wind was blowing, the yellow leaves were scattered, the dead grass was everywhere and the water surface was frozen, and the long wind could finally start storing their prey.
The orcs who live here begin to frantically go in and out of the forest every day to catch prey, and begin to store the meat they eat during the snow season.
Because most of the animals have migrated, the time to catch prey will be short this year, and the three large and small males of the Creek family will go out together.
Long Wind and Qingcang are powerful, catching their prey with all their might in the depths of the forest, and then stacking them together.
While Xiao Fengyuan was guarding the prey he had caught, he caught some fish that had slipped through the net not far from the prey pile.
From dawn in the morning to catch prey until evening, the long wind and they began to transport their prey back.
In just a few days, a corner of the valley has been set aside for prey, which has slowly formed a small hill.
Since the beginning of the cold weather, the weather has been cloudy and sunny, and today is another cold weather, Changfeng and they didn't even eat breakfast at home, so they were busy hunting in the forest again.
After Xiaoxi finished lunch, he took advantage of the nap time of the small candy to pickle the vegetables that should be pickled in a clay pot and put them in place.
I heard a particularly urgent knock on the wooden door at the mouth of the valley.
Xiaoxi didn't react at first, who knocked on the door so loudly, and suddenly she remembered that when he went to check Xiaoya's fetal position two days ago, the due date was only in these days.
She hurriedly got up, ran to the gate of the valley and opened the wooden door, and when she saw Shun outside the door, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
Tianshun's head was so anxious that he was sweating, "Xiaoxi, you go to my house quickly, Xiaoya is about to give birth." β
Xiaoxi also hurriedly said to Shun: "Uncle Shun, you wait a minute, no one at home is looking at Xiao Candy, I will take her to your house with me." β
Xiaoxi ran into the cave and saw that Little Candy had not woken up, so he took out some urgently needed herbs from the medicine space, and took a ginseng that he had just picked a few days ago, and put it in a bag of animal skins.
Climbed onto the kang, took out a thick quilt from the kang cabinet, and gently wrapped the sleeping small candy tightly in his arms.
Little Candy glucked uncomfortably, and Xiaoxi adjusted her position again, patted her on the back, and then fell asleep again without waking up.
The brook came out with a leather bag and closed the door, and hurried towards the mouth of the valley.
Walking to the mouth of the valley, Shun, who was waiting there, saw the difficulty of Xiaoxi's hug, so he took the little candy in her arms.
The creek closed the wooden gate at the mouth of the valley and inserted the wooden bolt from the outside, because there was no need to worry about safety because there were often hunting orcs passing back and forth on the hillside of their house.
Xiaoya's family lives next to Xiaoxi's house on this side of the mountain, usually only ten minutes walking, today because of the creek they are in a hurry, so it will take seven or eight minutes to arrive.
When I arrived in the valley of Xiaoya's house, I heard screams one after another, which startled Xiaoxi.
Shun was afraid of waking up the little candy in his arms, so he said to Xiaoxi: "You go in first to help see Xiaoya, and I will carry the little candy to our cave to sleep." β
Xiaoxi glanced at Xiao Candy and nodded, and hurriedly walked into the cave where Xiao Ya and the others lived.
The males of each family are busy hunting these days, and when she enters, only the clouds are accompanying Xiaoya in the cave.
The sweat on Xiaoya's head was already wet with her hair, but she was still awake, and her eyes lit up when she saw the stream coming in, and Yun gave way when she saw the stream.
Yun retreated to the side and said to Xiaoxi: "When there was a little pain before, we wanted to call you to come, but Xiaoya said that everyone is very busy these days.
Now it's just starting to hurt, so I want to wait before calling you, but I didn't expect it to hurt so badly all of a sudden. β
Xiaoxi listened to Yun's words, came to Xiaoya, and was grabbed by Xiaoya's hand, "Xiaoxi, you finally came, and it hurt a little at first, thinking that it would take a long time like when you and Xiaohua gave birth."
I wanted to call you over after a while, but I didn't expect it to hurt so much after a while. β
Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Ya, who was still in good spirits, and when she was so naΓ―ve, she patted her hand, "It's okay, you don't have to be nervous first, I'll go and check the palace mouth for you, and I will probably know how long it will take you to give birth." β
Although Xiao Ya is older than Xiaoxi, this is also her first time giving birth, so she will still be very nervous, and listening to Xiaoxi's soft voice to soothe, she relaxed slightly.
Xiaoxi asked Yun to bring a basin of water to wash his hands, took out the disinfectant prepared in advance, and disinfected his hands, and then went to check Xiaoya's palace entrance.
When Xiaoxi examined her from below, Xiaoya still couldn't help but tense up.
Xiaoxi rubbed her big belly soothingly, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, you relax a little, I can check you out." β
Xiaoya took a deep breath, and then she tried to relax her body as much as possible, and Xiaoxi successfully examined her.
After the examination, Xiaoxi was also surprised, no wonder Xiaoya screamed so loudly when she came, the palace opening was open to eight or nine fingers, and it was completely time to give birth.
Now looking at Xiaoya's mental state, the herbs she prepared are completely superfluous, she knows that Xiaoya's fetal position is also very positive, and it seems that this birth will go smoothly.
At this time, Xiaoxi began to prepare to deliver Xiaoya, soothe Xiaoya's anxiety because of her stomach pain, and let her start to work hard.
At this critical moment, Xiaoxi heard the loud cry of the little candy from the cave not far away, and knew that the little guy had just woken up from sleep and didn't see familiar people, so he would cry so loudly.
Although she was distressed when she heard Xiao Candy's cry, Xiao Ya who would give birth was more important, Yun who was helping on the side glanced at Xiao Xi, and saw that she was expressionless, pursed her lips, and continued to help Xiao Ya deliver the baby very calmly, so she slowly retreated.
After a while, Little Candy stopped crying, and when Yun came back, he said to Xiaoxi: "I let Shun fill a bowl of sharp-mouthed beast broth cooked for Xiaoya, and feed Little Candy to eat, the little guy doesn't cry anymore when he eats." β
Xiaoxi smiled gratefully at Yun, "Thank you, this little guy will cry like this as soon as he wakes up and can't see familiar people." β
After saying that, Xiaoxi was engrossed in helping Xiaoya deliver the baby, Yun looked at such a creek, and thought to himself that it was they who should say thank you.
Two or three hours later, as Xiaoxi expected, Xiaoya gave birth very smoothly, a little female of about five catties.
The brook wiped the little female clean with a basin of warm water from the clouds, wrapped it up, and handed it to the cloud who had been waiting for a long time.
turned around and came to Xiao Ya, who was already tired and fainted, and began to clean her up.
By the time Xiaoxi had finished everything and cleaned himself, Yun had already put the little cub to sleep next to Xiaoya, and went out to bring in a bowl of sharp-billed beast broth and handed it to Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi ate at noon, and was not very hungry now, but seeing that Yun was so enthusiastic, he had to pick up a wooden spoon and drink a bowl of broth.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong here, she said to Yun: "I'll go home first, and if there's anything wrong with Xiaoya here, you can call me again." β
Yun knew that there were a lot of things in each family these days, and now that Xiao Ya Niang and the two were already asleep, it was a little unreasonable to leave Xiaoxi here, so he asked Shun to send Xiaoxi and Xiaotian home.
As for the reward to be given to Xiaoxi, it will not be sent until his sons come back.
When the three brothers returned home from catching prey, they saw that the big and the small who were asleep on the kang were all stunned......
