Chapter 12: Moving into a New Home
Eagle looked at the broth in the bowl of the two cubs and said, "Why don't you drink the soup in the bowl and add another bowl to bring back?" ”
The two hurriedly shook their heads, "Still not." ”
Seeing that the two of them couldn't wait, Ying Wei somewhat understood what was going on, in fact, he also felt that this soup was not very tasty, but there were still many orcs here, so in order not to affect the appetite of others, he didn't say anything.
When they went back, it was still the eagle who was carrying the two back to the cave.
Ying Wei directly humped the two of them outside their cave, "I brought you a stone table and a few stone benches in the afternoon, do you want to see what else needs to be added to the cave?" Do you need my help? ”
The stone cave living room is smaller than the eagle next door, about forty square meters, there is a groove on the left side of the innermost living room, where a large bed is opened up, and it is not directly facing the mouth of the cave, but it can avoid some of the wind blowing from the cave entrance, but if the wind is too strong, it will have no effect.
The bed in the cave over there is also in the living room, but it is opposite the entrance of the cave, the kind that you can see as soon as you enter the cave, and the cave here is to open the bed in the living room.
There is a hole on the opposite side of the stone bed, the cave inside is more than twenty square meters, the temperature is lower than the stone cave outside, the eagle said that it is a hole to store food, and when it comes to the snow season, the big square of the tribe can not make a big pot of rice, because it is too cold outside, especially the incapable cubs, females and the elderly can not stand the cold outside, and can only nest in the cave every day.
Nowadays, the food in the tribe is the responsibility of the females and old orcs who remain in the tribe and have no ability, so after the snow season, each family can only cook their own food.
Food is distributed by the tribe according to the number of orcs in each household before the arrival of the snow season.
Of course, the warriors who have made great contributions to the tribe (that is, the able) have received much more food than the ordinary people who remain in the tribe.
"Uncle Ying, I saw that there are two such storage rooms on your side of the cave, and only one of us is not enough?"
He didn't know how long the snow season would last, but he wanted to ask, but if he did, it would reveal that they were not the local orcs here, and he didn't dare to take such a risk.
"You're just cubs, you can't eat much food in a snow season, and you nest in a cave in the snow season, and you don't need to exert effort, and the consumption is not as fast as in other seasons, and a cave is enough for you."
Eagle Xiao didn't say that according to the previous situation, the food that the two of them could get could not even fit into a cave, and at most they could fill this storage hole, this was because there was space to contribute to the tribe before the snow season, and they could get some more food, otherwise they could only get the most basic share of the tribe.
The basic share can only ensure that they will not starve to death in the snow season, and it is impossible to eat enough.
Lu Yanran and the two secretly calculated that with the amount of food they eat now, if half of the food in the cave is food that can fight hunger, the food in one cave is barely enough for them to eat for two months, and if it is all food like fruits, it will be bad.
The poor two, after coming here for a few days, have not eaten enough.
Besides, they don't know how long the snow season will last here, so it can't be two months, if it is calculated according to the four seasons, it should be at least three months.
It seems that they still have to store more food before the snow season comes, relying on the help of the tribe is not reliable, and they also want to take advantage of the snow season not to go out to cultivate their abilities, so as to prepare for an early life of eating meat in the future.
As their abilities grow, so does their appetite.
Lu Yanran looked at him unconvinced, "But there are two of us, Uncle Ying, you have two storage holes for each orc." ”
"I'm an adult orc, and you're just two little cubs, you can't eat much, and at the end of the day, you don't eat as much as I have in a meal."
Mo Hanchen didn't want to dwell on the issue of eating more and eating less, so he changed the topic and said, "Uncle Yingxi, we want to dig another cave, can you help us?" ”
"They all said you can't use it, why do you want to dig another cave?" Isn't this a waste of time and nothing to do?
"I want to dig it up and carry dry firewood, and I always need it in the snow season." Mo Hanchen found a reasonable reason to talk about things.
"What's so troublesome? Firewood can be placed in the big cave. "That's what the orcs of the tribe have always done.
"It's not good-looking, and I'm going to have to cook food in the big cave in the future, I'm afraid that I will accidentally burn all the dry firewood, what if there is no firewood to eat in the future?"
No matter how sensible he is, he is still a cub who has not grown up, and the first thing he thinks of is eating, not whether he will be burned to death.
However, what Hanchen said made some sense, for the safety of his own life, he had to dig another cave for himself to fill firewood.
"Okay, it's too late today, I'll come back tomorrow afternoon to dig for you, don't worry, it will be done in less than an afternoon."
The two of them showed happy expressions on their faces, and they said in unison: "Thank you, Uncle Yingxi." ”
Ying Wei looked at Lu Yanran and asked, "Did you go to get a few animal skins before you took you back today?" ”
Lu Yanran nodded hurriedly, and then had a few more animal skins of different colors in her hand.
"She should teach you how to use it, there's nothing for me here, go back first." As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he turned his head again and said, "We will continue to go out of the tribe tomorrow to collect red fruits, but we also need to go together, remember to get up early and get ready." ”
"Uncle Ying, I'm going to go with you." Seeing that he didn't mention himself, Mo Hanchen was anxious and said hurriedly.
Ying Xiao glanced at him and said with disgust: "You don't need to, stay in the tribe and do what you can, or cultivate." ”
"No, I'm not at ease."
Seeing his firm eyes, Ying Yu noticed the corners of Ran Ran's mouth, as if he didn't agree with Hanchen to go with him, and she didn't go either.
Thinking of this morning, the little guy didn't bother the team, and only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"You can go if you want, but I can't guarantee your safety." Before the eagle walked, he did not forget to scare him.
"Oops, I forgot to ask if I could cook my own food." After Lu Yanran returned to the cave, she remembered that she had forgotten the big thing, and she stretched out her hand to pat her thigh, but it was empty, because she stretched out the claws of the beast, and her limbs were equal and she couldn't shoot it.
"Don't be in a hurry, ask again tomorrow."
"I don't want to drink that soup tomorrow, it's too bad." Just talking about it makes me feel disgusting.
"It's a big deal, just don't make that soup tomorrow, by the way, what's going to eat at night?"
