224 Drought and Tsunami

The snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker, and the orcs no longer go out easily, except for the brook, which occasionally has a female family member who is sick or about to give birth, and asks them to help people treat or deliver babies.

Xiaoxi's house now has more than a dozen caves where things are stored, and the tops are full of fresh meat and bacon, and the bottom is full of grain stored in the past few years.

It's the end of the snow season, and she knows that this year's new Sharphorn Orc family is running out of food to store before the snow season.

But Xiaoxi didn't take the initiative to help these orc families because he had a lot of food stored at home.

She doesn't want to wear out the beautiful virtue of orcs and self-reliance in her own hands, only this year's difficult life can work hard to store more food in the coming year.

There will be no orcs who think that if their food storage is not enough, someone will help deliver food, they will only work harder next year, and they will not ask for help from others with a fluke mentality.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was not so much snow today, the creek and the long wind stood on the slope in front of the valley of their home, looking at the snow on the ground.

Xiaoxi looked at the snow in front of her and turned her head, she didn't dare to look at the snow for too long, because the reflection of the snow could easily burn her eyes.

However, Xiaoxi still wanted to verify her idea, she ran into the valley and took out a long wooden stick, "Changfeng, you stick this wooden stick in the snow, I want to see how thick the snow is this year." ”

Although Changfeng wondered why Xiaoxi wanted to know the thickness of the snow, he obediently stuck the stick in the snow.

Xiaoxi measured the thickness of the snow with a wooden stick, put it in front of him and compared it, and was surprised to find that this was not his illusion, and the snow this year was really not as thick as in previous years.

In previous years, the thickness of the snow was at least flat on his chest, but this year, the thickness of the snow was only above his waist, so it was no wonder that he could see the difference so much.

Changfeng looked at the contrast of the stream, and also looked at her with some surprise, and couldn't help but say, "How can the thickness of the snow be so different." ”

The brook looked at the not clear sky, and there was concern in its dark eyes, which may be due to the long-term, large-scale volcanic eruption of the Holy Mountain.

Causing natural changes in the atmosphere in the sky, this is also her most ignorant guess, and she doesn't know what is going on, so Xiaoxi didn't say her own guess.

Changfeng didn't want her to really answer, because this is a change in the natural weather, and it is not a god, who can answer this kind of question.

So the two of them didn't dwell on this matter after that, just watched that after a while after the end of the season, the glacial rivers should start to melt.

I don't know if the prediction of the drought will happen, and the two of them only ask the beast god to bless them, so that this orc continent, which is already one of the few orcs, will have a little less disaster.

However, the prayers of the two people did not seem to have been heard by the beast gods, and from the time the ice and snow melted to the arrival of the hot season, there was not a drop of rain on this continent.

In a short period of time, because of the large river that runs through the misty forest, the snow and ice melted for more than a month, although the drought is beginning to appear, but it is not serious.

The only people who were anxious were Xiaoxi, Xiaohua, and Xiaoya, who knew that this drought would last for a long time.

Because it was useless to say it, and it would cause panic, the three of them did not publicize the news at the beginning after discussing it.

It's just that now the long wind has summoned, and all the fifty chiefs who live around the misty forest tell them to take back as much as possible from now on, regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as it is edible.

I also revealed to them that I am afraid that there will be a drought this year, and I hope that the fifty orcs under their own leadership and management will collect the food and things they need to use well, so that they can survive the future disasters safely.

Because the Lost Forest is very large around it, although all the orcs recognize Changfeng as their lord, but it is too far away, and Changfeng sometimes can't take care of it.

After all, these people were willing to recognize him as a lord, and it was also because they were taught to build a fire kang and burn pottery products, so that they could live a better and more stable life.

Originally, Changfa didn't want to be a lord for them, but her little rabbit said that even if she didn't become this lord, she would teach them the technique of building a fire kang.

Because at that time, Xiaoxi guessed that the holy mountain was very likely to be a volcano, and it might erupt one day, and she couldn't clearly know that she could let these orcs go to such a dangerous place every year to spend the snow season.

She thought that as long as she had a heart, she would not be so blind to the danger of so many orcs.

She must teach the construction of the fire kang, as for the firing of ceramics, this is about the important things when exchanging salt with the orcs by the sea, and it has not been taught to more orcs for the time being.

Just when Xiaoxi actively led the surrounding orcs to actively deal with the longer drought in the future in the early stage of the drought, and worked hard.

Ya embarrassedly led a group of more than a hundred seaside people to knock on the wooden door in front of Xiaoxi's valley, and when Changfeng and Xiaoxi saw Ya who was led in by Feng Yuan, both of them were surprised.

Ya walked up to the two of them with a frosty face and saluted slightly, and said in a low voice: "Honorable lord, and the great witch doctor, a while ago on our beach, there was a sudden tsunami. ”

Speaking of this, Ya's voice was a little more sassy, as if he was enduring intense sadness, and after a breath of relief, Yacai continued: "At that time, the tsunami came, and many orcs on the seaside died in that tsunami.

Especially the old and the young, the females also died a lot, and only the young and strong male orcs, because they ran fast enough, saved their lives. ”

Speaking of this, Ya could no longer suppress his sorrow, and a tall and burly male silently shed tears like that.

Because it was impossible for the more than 100 seaside orcs he brought to enter the valley of Xiaoxi's house, the other seaside orcs who came in with him also gritted their teeth one after another, leaving silent tears like Ya.

Xiaoxi also turned her head to prevent others from seeing the tears in her eyes, this was the second time she had heard that so many people had been killed and injured because of natural disasters.

After the eruption of the Holy Mountain last year, they took in a group of orcs who were close to the Holy Mountain, and they heard from those orcs that when the volcano erupted, there were still some orcs on the Holy Mountain who walked late and were burned to death there.

Now these orcs by the sea are swallowed up alive by the sea because of the tsunami.

Their group of orcs living in the interior are also about to face the test of life and death brought about by the drought.

What did the orcs of the Orc Continent do wrong, it seems that God has become a heart to destroy them, and one disaster after another will come.

No matter where they live, they will not be able to escape punishment again and again.

In the end, Changfeng left them in his territory to find a place to live temporarily, after all, they couldn't stay here for a long time.

They are orcs by the sea, and they are used to drying salt in exchange for supplies, so their hunting skills are not strong.

When the tsunami recedes, they still have to go back to the seaside, which is where they are accustomed and yearn for.
