251 The embarrassment of small candy
Because Changfeng had traveled to this orc continent for thirty years before he married Xiaoxi, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had extensive knowledge of this continent.
So before it got dark, he still led the orcs, and as he walked, he paid attention to his surroundings, and still let him find a few large trees that could store water.
Of course, the water stored in the canopy of these trees is not enough for all orcs to drink, and Changfeng also knows it, so he only gives this water to females and cubs, and male beasts over ten years old have to drink the blood of their prey in the same way as adult male orcs.
Xiaoxi handed the bamboo bucket of water that their family had distributed to Feng Yuan, whose lips were dry and had cracked, to drink.
Feng Yuan took a step back and shook his head: "I'm not thirsty, wait a while to hunt, and there will be beast blood to drink." ”
Xiaoxi still handed the water to him: "Take a sip first and moisten your throat." ”
Feng Yuan had no choice but to take a sip and moisten his lips, and then returned the bamboo tube to Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi handed the bamboo tubes filled with water to Changfeng one by one, Qingcang, and several people also wanted to refuse, seeing Xiaoxi staring at them, Changfeng had to take the lead and take a small sip like Feng Yuan, moistening his dry throat.
Xiaoxi sighed helplessly, knowing that even if she insisted, they would definitely not drink it again in order to leave her some more water.
Little Candy was left behind to protect the creek, because now in the wild, when every family goes out to hunt and food for water, one or two males are left to protect their females and cubs.
Because of the drought, the water source is reduced, and the animals have fled to the mountains, and now it is not easy for them to hunt in the long wind, and they may not find a single prey for a long time.
Because there was no water, everyone was not so careful, and the orcs who stayed behind to protect the females and cubs were also responsible for looking for firewood around and roasting meat when the prey came back later.
Xiaohua pulled her family's three-year-old Xiao Nanshan to the creek, because they were going to rest here tonight, so they were next to each other.
When Xiaoxi saw Xiao Nanshan coming, he took out a handful of peanuts from his animal skin bag and handed it to him to eat.
When the little guy saw the peanuts, his eyes lit up, and they used to have them, but because the weather has been too dry in the past few years, the little flower family has already eaten the harvest.
Xiaohua wanted to say something, but when she saw Xiao Nanshan's bright eyes, she opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything.
I had to look at Xiaoxi and said: "Don't do this next time, no one has much food left now, if you do this again, I won't dare to bring Xiao Nanshan over to play next time." ”
Xiaoxi smiled: "Not next time." ”
The main thing is that Xiaoxi knows that there are not many peanuts left in his family.
Speaking of weight, each of them has a lot of food left, but they can't stand all the male orcs are rice buckets.
Let's just say that the Xiaohua family's food is now more than the Xiaoxi family, mainly because the Xiaoxi family took out most of the food in the snow season last year to help the orc families who were robbed by the wandering orcs.
As a result, if you don't even the tens of thousands of catties of grain that Xiao Candy has secretly saved every time she goes out in the past ten years, the food of Xiaoxi's family will add up to less than 10,000 catties.
It's just that after the family discussed the small candy, she asked her not to take it out for the time being, after all, it was not yet the time when the mountains and rivers were exhausted.
Sure enough, Changfeng and the three of them went out, and only brought back two prey, one large and one small, although not as much as usual, but compared to those orcs who only hunted one prey, they were quite good.
When the fire was making a barbecue, Changfeng and Xiaoxi's family saw that the mulberry leaf family had only hunted, and a very small animal came back, although their family brought a lot of food, but now there is no water, and they can't do it with food.
In the end, Changfeng asked Feng Yuan to give the small prey they hunted to the Mulberry Ye family, after all, the orc family that rested around their house also hit at least one big prey, and there were other family orcs who hunted more prey.
After eating, because there was no water, everyone couldn't wash, and it was too much to even chat, so everyone simply cleaned up and rested early.
Because it was very hot, everyone slept in the open air and did not set up animal skin tents, and the three or five families, ten families and eight families put important things in the middle, and the orcs all lay down and rested around them.
This season is the most active time of all animals and beasts, although a small number of beasts do not dare to rush into their ranks of thousands of males.
But the beasts are irrational, and in this season of severe drought, not only the orcs lack food and water, but also the animals and beasts.
They will also take advantage of the fact that late at night is their time to forage for food, and it is likely that they will also come in droves to eat their group of orcs.
Therefore, each family will not be dispersed when they are resting, for fear that if a beast tide attacks them, the family will be scattered and will not have time to rescue in danger.
Orcs also have the wisdom of orcs, and each family will burn a bunch of Cordyceps repellent in their own resting place, so that one night, snakes, insects, rats and ants will run away when they smell this pungent smell.
Xiaoxi brought a few extra-large animal skins and spread them on the freshly smoked ground, and spread them with rolled bamboo mats, so that when he slept, he would not get hot because of the animal skins underneath.
Laid out the sleeping place, pulled over the small candy that was still chattering with Qingcang, Feng Yuan, and patted her forehead gently: "Say less, aren't you thirsty."
Qing Cang and Feng Yuan are carrying things all day, and they have to run a long way, so let them rest early at night. ”
Little Candy sat on the ground and turned around to hug Xiaoxi's waist, put his head on her lower abdomen and rubbed it, Xiaoxi patted her: "It's so big, and it's still coquettish, go over there and sleep next to me, be careful of your father beast, when I come back and see you like this, I'm going to clean you up again." ”
Little Candy hugged Xiaoxi's waist and didn't let go, and muttered in his mouth: "Father beast, he is the most angry, since I grew up, every time I sleep with you, he throws me aside in the middle of the night and sleeps by himself."
I've never seen him so stingy and jealous male, Mom, do you want to find another ......"
Xiaoxi glanced behind Xiao Candy, revealing a malicious smile, next to Feng Yuan tugged on Xiao Candy's clothes, and was slapped away by Xiao Candy, Feng Yuan originally reached out to pull Xiao Candy, but he didn't know why he retracted his hand.
Qing Cang just watched how Little Candy was going to die, why didn't she stop it, it was because she actually ran to the creek to find other males, is it that she herself will have this idea in the future, so Qing Cang didn't remind Little Candy Changfeng to stand behind her.
"Looking for another one?" A dark and low voice reached Little Candy's ears, causing her body to stiffen, and when she slowly turned her head, she saw his father looking at her with a dark face.
Xiao Candy's body is much more flexible than her brain, and after subconsciously turning to Xiaoxisheng, she didn't dare to stretch out her head to look at Changfeng.
Xiaoxi looked at the father and daughter like this, and they had already laughed on the bamboo mat, and Qing Cang and Feng Yuan also smiled behind them, only Xiao Candy secretly glanced at Changfeng with a red face, and then quickly lowered his head.
