Chapter 281: Crow's Beak
After a short break at noon, the two continued on the road, this time Zhu Yuanyuan deliberately sped up.
"The people of the herb picking team often wander around, and since they have to go far to find seeds, they simply don't wander around the neighborhood and go directly to the old forest."
"Okay," Shiraishi didn't object, "you follow me, don't get too far away."
There are many dangers in the old forest, but you should pay more attention, it will be very dangerous to get separated.
Zhu Yuanyuan patted his pocket and said proudly, "It's okay, I have medicinal powder, even if I encounter a mutant beast, I can pour it."
Shiraishi raised his eyebrows, "So powerful? Not lying?"
"That's right," Zhu Yuanyuan was full of confidence, "The medicinal powder I made is strong enough, and the effect is naturally good."
"yes, I didn't know you had poured the Mutant Beast," Shiraishi chuckled, "I've only met it twice, but I didn't expect you to meet it near the tribe."
"Uh~" Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes were rolling around, looking at the sky and the earth, but not looking at someone who demolished her stage.
She's just exaggerating the efficacy, so let's get to the bottom of it.
Shiraishi understood, and without a trace, he brought the topic of talking about death, "There is some movement in the bushes ahead, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan lowered his voice and said excitedly, "It must be a rabbit or a pheasant, this time it's my turn to show off my skills."
"It could also be a snake," Shiraishi reminded of the sceasing scenery.
Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes widened with anger, "Don't be a crow's mouth!"
Bad guys will make trouble.
Thinking that there was probably a snake in the bushes, Zhu Yuanyuan's enthusiasm for hunting instantly dropped to freezing, and he said, "Go catch it, I'm tired and want to sit down."
Shiraishi smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I just finished lunch, in fact, there is no need to rush to hunt, let's rest together."
"Don't," Zhu Yuanyuan curled his lips and counted unceremoniously, "It's you who asked me if I wanted to arrest you, and you said that if you catch it, you have to catch it, and you can't go back."
"I was wrong," Shiraishi honestly admitted, "I'm going to catch it."
But before he could act, the rustling sound from the bushes suddenly became louder, and then an emerald green figure jumped out from the other end, but it was only in the blink of an eye that it disappeared.
Although it was fast, it could still tell that it was a snake, a very large, long, and chubby emerald green snake.
Zhu Yuanyuan sighed in disappointment, "Let it run."
She doesn't like to catch snakes, but she doesn't averse to eating snake meat, especially the snake and old hen stewed soup, which is delicious and nourishing.
Hiss, unassuming tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't worry," Shiraishi comforted in a soft voice, "This area is often infested with snakes, and it's still early before the sun sets, so I'm sure I'll be able to catch it before I get to the cave where I'm resting today."
"Hmm," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded heavily, "I need to catch a few more."
If you miss a big one, then grab a few to make up for it, and there will be absolutely no loss.
Although she is reluctant to catch snakes, she can catch rabbits and pheasants, and even larger prey will be counted.
The weather is hot, and two people can't eat hundreds of catties of meat, and it's not good to store the meat in the space, and the rest can only be wasted, so it's enough to eat.
Bai Shi was right, he walked all the way forward, and it didn't take long for him to encounter a snake again, he grabbed the snake with lightning speed, and sent it to Zhu Yuanyuan to offer treasure, "Look, it's not smaller than the one he ran just now."
"Stay away from me!" Zhu Yuanyuan took a few steps back and said frantically, "You know that I hate snakes and still have a living mouth, right?"
"How come," Shiraishi realized what he had done, and hurriedly disposed of the snake and stuffed it into the animal skin bag he carried, "It's okay, it's a shame that there are no snake orcs in the tribe......
Zhu Yuanyuan sighed, "Yes, fortunately, I was not born in the snake orc tribe, otherwise it is difficult to say whether I would have survived to adulthood."
Bai Shi was a little speechless, "What you said is too false, you don't understand anything when you are a cub, how can you be afraid of your beast form and your own race, you will only feel close."
"No," Zhu Yuanyuan retorted loudly, "I don't feel close to the mutant boar when I see it."
If there is, how can the clansmen be right?
Wild boars are ruthless, and they won't eat pork.
"You're right to say that," Shiraishi said thoughtfully, "I just want to trample it under my feet when I encounter a mutant tiger."
Speaking of the mutant tiger, Zhu Yuanyuan came to the spirit, "The mutant tiger skin is very beautiful, but unfortunately there is no nearby, the big and thick fur is well handled, and it should be very warm to sleep in the snow season, and you don't even need to burn the kang."
Don't ask her how she knows, ask if her master has one, and she will only take it out in the snow season.
The Great Witch lives alone, and it stands to reason that the cave space should be enough, but most of the medicinal materials in the tribe are kept in his place, and there is some space to place a few single beds, so it seems very crowded, and there is not much to hoard when hoarding firewood in autumn.
Zhu Yuanyuan used to worry that his master would not have enough dry firewood in winter, and thought about calling someone to dig in it and expand the cave, but he didn't know that there was such a thing until he was rejected.
There are too many beasts in the orc world, especially mutated beasts, the lethality is amazing, but there is no saying to protect, put aside the previous life, let alone kill the skin and eat meat, just don't even think about it, you will know what social death is when it is passed out.
So what kind of tiger skin and wolf skin, no one dares to make up their minds, otherwise they will wait to sing the tears behind bars!
Things that were once unimaginable have become the norm in this world, making Zhu Yuanyuan sigh that life is impermanent.
Forget it, the assumption will not come true after all, she just needs to know that she is very satisfied with her current life, and she is content and happy, and greedy people tend to live a messy life.
What Zhu Yuanyuan said was forgotten in a blink of an eye, but Bai Shi silently remembered it in his heart, thinking about how far away he would be, if he could meet the mutant tiger, the big animal skin quilt that Yuanyuan liked would be gone.
Wait, as if I heard something strange somewhere.
Shiraishi stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Yuanyuan, listened intently, and after a few seconds, he approached someone and whispered, "There is the sound of sheep moving ahead."
"I heard it too," Zhu Yuanyuan didn't care too much, "Regardless of them, eating mutton in the summer and getting on the fire, and not returning to the tribe at night, there is really no need to catch them."
If she ran into them on the way back, she would really have to catch a few and go back to feed the eighty or ninety-year-old orcs.
The cave is damp, it is easy to get rheumatism for a long time, even in summer, the old people will feel cold hands and feet when they sleep at night, and they are reluctant to burn firewood, and they refuse to burn the kang, if they drink some mutton soup should be better.
She once suggested to the leader to build a relatively large red brick and tiled house, so that all the old orcs who were over eighty years old could move in, but the stubborn old people refused.
After living for decades, the old orcs have long been accustomed to it, thinking that orcs should live in caves, and the door is blocked with big stones, and the mutant beasts have nothing to do, it is safe and trouble-free, and it is unstable to burn some adobe to build a house like Zhu Yuanyuan.
There was even an old orc who persuaded her bitterly, 'Don't always do something that you don't have, you have to live a down-to-earth life, and she didn't understand it after tossing for a few months.'
Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly figured it out, what she thinks is good, others may not think it is good, and some things can't be rushed.
