Chapter 8: Homes under construction
Xue An'er went to the forest to hunt, and by the way, according to Lan Jingjing's request, he tried to catch some beasts with soft hair, and if he saw any plants he didn't know, he would bring some samples back for Lan Jingjing to identify.
After An'er left, Lan Jingjing polished a piece of big bone left by An'er and smoothed it, cut off the three strands of tough vines and twisted them into one strand, and then tied the sharpened wooden stakes that An'er had cut and polished before with a woven vine rope to gradually make the kind of deer that was used to prevent soldiers from invading in ancient times.
But...... It's a big project.
Just weaving the rope, Lan Jingjing spent half a day's effort, and it wasn't until Xue An'er came back that she could complete a third of it.
"Chief, I'm back!"
I saw that there were three gray-skinned creatures hanging from Xue'an'er's left arm, a large pile of red and green countless wild fruits and plants wrapped around his shoulders, and a tiger and a gray wolf in each hand......
Lan Jingjing was shocked at the time.
She understands that She'an Er is strong, and She'an Er himself has said that even in the face of brown bears and tigers, he can easily tear them apart......
But Lan Jingjing didn't expect that in just such a short time, Kung Fu Xue An'er would come back with so many prey, and they all resisted on their bodies!!
"You ......"
Xue An'er suddenly poured the things on her body to the ground, and then pulled Lan Jingjing and said excitedly: "Didn't the leader say before that not only wild beasts can eat in this forest, but also many plants and fruits?" Come and see, are there any of the ones I brought back this time that you can eat, the boss? ”
If it weren't for Lan Jingjing telling him so much at once......
Xue An'er could never have imagined in his life that there were still so many things to eat in their orc continent!
Lan Jingjing swallowed her saliva, suppressed the shock in her heart, rummaged through the things that Xue An'er had retrieved, and said, "Well, I'll take a look at ......"
"Huh? This is...... Wild tomatoes? ”
"There are also mountain persimmons, wild shiitake mushrooms, wild bananas...... There are even sweet potato leaves?! ”
Xue An'er didn't understand what Lan Jingjing was talking about, so she tilted her head and wondered, "Can you eat these?" And also...... What is Sweet Potato Leaf? ”
Lan Jingjing tried to pick up a wild tomato and stuff it into her mouth, the taste was sour, but it was still slightly sweet, but it was a little smaller......
"It's a tomato! It's really a small tomato!! ”
{Lightning protection: Beast Shiwen can bring brains, but not too much ha~(* ̄) ̄), don't ca.}
When was the tomato introduced to China, and it is not said that it is still China...... It does not stand up to scrutiny, and the rebuttal is invalid. }
Seeing Lan Jingjing eat it, Xue An'er was thoughtful, and also picked up one and tasted it......
"Bah, bah, bah...... What a taste! Xue An'er immediately frowned in disgust.
"Chief, these things...... Can you really eat it?! "You can't die if you eat it......
Lan Jingjing nodded: "It's a little sour to eat now...... After all, it's wild, and it's small. You'll know when we grow it ourselves! ”
"Also, sweet potato leaves are sweet potato vines, and the most tender place on the top can be fried and eaten, and the bottom ...... That is, there are sweet potatoes buried in the soil!! ”
Lan Jingjing grabbed Xue An'er's hand: "An'er, where did you find this sweet potato vine?" Will you take me there tomorrow too?? Let me tell you, this food is not only found in the ground, but there is also a lot of food buried in the ground!! ”
Sheaaner: "......"
After withdrawing his hand uncomfortably, Xue An'er took out a black thing from behind him, with a little fresh earth, like a stone egg, and said to Lan Jingjing.
"Chief, what you're looking for...... Is this one? ”
"I brought this grass out of the ground when I was collecting it today, and I didn't see it, so I brought one back."
Lan Jingjing was stunned, and then hurriedly took the sweet potato in Xue An'er's hand, and burst into tears excitedly: "Yes...... Be! ”
"I didn't expect that after coming to this orc world, I would be able to see sweet potatoes one day......"
"An'er! Firing!!! ”
"I'm going to take carbs, now, immediately, right away, !!"
……
The sky gradually darkened, and the entire orc world was once again plunged into eternal night.
However, in the midst of such an eternal night, in the forest, a high rope place, there was a faint warm fire, like a new star in the starry night sky.
Next to the bonfire, at this moment, Xue An'er's long hair was draped and draped on his chest, and he didn't know what he was doing in front of the warm firelight, and his every move was all amorous.
And Lan Jingjing's eyes were burning, staring at the bottom of the fire tightly, like a homeless man who had not seen meat for eight hundred years!
It seems that even the meat that is skewered with wooden sticks on the fire at the moment is not as important as the things at the bottom of the fire!!
"It should be almost......" Lan Jingjing estimated the time, and then, she hurriedly picked up the wooden stick beside her, and pulled something at the bottom of the bonfire, and a small piece of black stuff was just rummaged through the firewood ashes.
Only waited for the black thing to cool down a little, Lan Jingjing couldn't wait to start blowing the ashes and split it into two.
In an instant, the heart was ruddy and moist, with a feeling of cotton and sand, and the heat was revealed.
"An'er, stop braiding the rope, come and try my roasted sweet potato!"
Xue An'er looked up helplessly, but he still stopped what he was doing and took it with a little disgust.
He still doesn't understand.
"Chief, this thing...... Can it really be better than meat? Look at how hungry you are~"
Lan Jingjing just exhaled the hot breath on the sweet potato and couldn't wait to take a bite, and then was squinted by the sweet happy eyes of the roasted sweet potato: "Hmm~ so happy......"
"This is the taste of happiness......
"An'er, taste it, it's really delicious!!"
Wild sweet potatoes may not be very large, but they are soft on the inside, and even the side near the sweet potato skin has been covered with syrupy sticky when it is roasted over pure fire.
Then, in Lan Jingjing's expectant gaze, Xue An'er sighed and gently took a bite of the sweet potato......
“……”
"This, what does this smell like!"
Xue'an'er's helplessness was suddenly replaced by surprise.
These days, Lan Jingjing has brought him too many surprises, so many that they ...... He was numb.
Lan Jingjing smiled happily: "Sweet?!! ”
"Hmm...... It's like honey...... "But honey is not easy to obtain, and generally speaking, wild bee colonies are not as powerful as their orcs, and even less powerful than ordinary beasts, but they are numerous.
Even She'aner only occasionally snatched food from the mouth of a brown bear and tasted it once.
"Sweet !!"
Lan Jingjing was satisfied: "I didn't expect that there would be sweet potatoes in this soil...... It's a bit of a pity, it's only such a small piece......"
Xue An'er blamed himself a little: "I'm sorry chief, I didn't know that there was such delicious food hidden under this grass...... "I knew that he would have dug it back!"
"It doesn't matter, this kind of sweet potato grows very well, usually a large piece of long, as long as there are such sweet potato leaves on it, there must be sweet potatoes underground!"
"Tomorrow I will accompany you into the mountains, and by the way, I will teach you how to distinguish those that can be eaten and those that cannot be eaten."
Lan Jingjing's idea is very beautiful.
Come to think of it, sweet potatoes can be discovered by An'er, so what can potatoes and wild yams have?
Just thinking about it, Lan Jingjing couldn't get enough of taking off a skewer of grilled shiitake mushrooms and kebabs and handing them to Xue An'er: "Come on, try this again." ”
With Lan Jingjing's feeding, An'er was completely conquered.
In the past, the only way for their orcs to satisfy their bellies was to hunt wild beasts for raw food, drink their blood and eat their flesh, where have they seen so many...... Food with bells and whistles?
Seemingly...... Following Lan Jingjing is really the most correct decision he has made in his life!
Even if you become a stray beast because of it!
Otherwise, if he wasn't expelled by that tribe, how could he meet Lan Jingjing???
But the only thing that's a pity is ......
Xue An'er raised his head and looked at Lan Jingjing's delicate face in the firelight, which was more beautiful than all the females he had ever seen in his life, and his eyes were faintly moist.
"Why ......"
Lan Jingjing was happily eating barbecue, although she was a little sorry that there was no seasoning and salt...... But compared to the life of her first day, she could only eat raw food and gnaw tree bark, and I don't know how much better it is! And now with Xue'an'er's protection, she can go into the forest tomorrow to find more food!!
Wu Ran heard Xue An'er's muttering, and wondered, "What why?" ”
"An'er, what are you talking about??"
Xue An'er's face turned pale, and he tried to pull out a smile: "No, it's nothing, I mean to say ......"
"Chief, you're amazing, you know so many things!"
Lan Jingjing smiled: "An'er, you are also very good, you found so many things in one day...... But you'll call me Jingjing from now on. ”
"Boss or something...... It's embarrassing to listen to people. ”
Xue An'er nodded: "Yes, Jingjing." ”
Why......
You can't show up sooner......
Now he ...... I don't qualify to be your male anymore, even if it's a male servant......
He doesn't deserve it either.
