Chapter 27: Engraving
Bai Yingying's gaze moved away from Qin Xuan, and she turned around and walked towards the witch.
She shouted respectfully, "Miko-sama, I have something to ask for. ”
The witch pounded the medicine and looked at her suspiciously.
Bai Yingying continued, "Ah Xia is my first beast master, and I would like to add the engraving ceremony. ”
Before the witch could react, the face of the girl beside her changed slightly, and she said in surprise: "The patriarch said that Lin Xia is dead, and you still want to leave his beast form?" ”
Bai Yingying nodded solemnly, "Yes, even if he is dead." He is also my first beast husband, the father of my cubs. ”
Although she is selfish, she is never stingy with people who are truly good to herself.
The girl kindly reminded, "That's the first beast husband!" When you give birth to cubs, the courting males will probably have to line up in a long line, and you can choose a male with good talent if you keep the position of the first husband. ”
Bai Yingying shook her head, indicating that her mind had been decided.
"Good, good..."
The shrine maiden suddenly laughed heartily, and her cloudy eyes shone with a little starlight, "It's a good boy who values friendship... I'll carve it for you myself. ”
"Mother-in-law?" The girl's expression was shocked, "You haven't carved it yourself for three years..."
"It's okay, my mother-in-law is not old enough to even hold a bone needle." The witch waved her hand and asked Bai Yingying, "Where do you want to engrave it?" ”
"On the left wrist." Bai Yingying said slowly.
She thought that Lin Xia should like this position. Just raise your hand and you can see...
The shrine maiden nodded with satisfaction, "Now that you've thought about it, let's get started." ”
The sight inside the cave was not good, so the witch took her out of the cave, and the girl came out with her tools behind her.
Qin Xuan, from the initial shock to the silence later, could only watch the group of them walk out of the cave without even making a sound.
The crowd outside the cave had dispersed at some point.
Bai Yingying took off the beast robe on her left arm and carefully rolled up the fur, revealing a slender wrist.
"I'm going to start, it's a little painful, just bear with it." The shrine maiden held a bone needle in her right hand, grabbed Bai Yingying's wrist with her left hand, lowered her head and began to carve a rabbit shape.
Bai Yingying thought that it was just a simple painting, but now she understands that she still needs to use a bone needle to cut the flesh and skin.
The shrine maiden was old, and her hand holding the bone needle trembled slightly, but every stroke of the line was very smooth and beautiful.
In just a few clicks, a rabbit shape was outlined, and two symbols were engraved in the blank space of the rabbit's body.
One represents the serial number 1, and the other represents the word 'Xia'.
At this time, Bai Yingying's forehead was full of sweat, and the carving was much more painful than expected. But she could endure it, and she didn't make any noise during the process.
The shrine maiden nodded with satisfaction, "I'll color you again, don't pick it with your hands when you go back, it'll be fine in a day or two." ”
She picked up a piece of plant rhizome and followed the lines she had just drawn.
When everything was done, he let go of Bai Yingying's hand.
The girl next to her came to take a look and praised sincerely: "Mother-in-law's craftsmanship is much better than Ah Zi's." ”
"Sister Hong, you dislike me again!"
Before the shrine maiden could speak, a coquettish voice was heard from afar.
Bai Yingying looked over, and a slim black-haired girl walked quickly, followed by two young male orcs.
It was the last coming-of-age ceremony.,The girl who accompanied the shrine maiden.。
It seems that this girl named Ah Zi is the next witch cultivated by the witch.
When Jiang Zi saw Bai Yingying, she was surprised: "Huh? It's you! You..."
"Alright. I'm tired, Ah Zi, you help me in. ”
The witch interrupted her and said to Bai Yingying, "Ah Ying, you just wait at the door for a while." It is full of sick people, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time. ”
In a short period of time, the shrine maiden became much more affectionate to her.
"Okay, Miko-sama."
Bai Yingying looked at the tired face of the witch, and understood why the witch had not carved it in person in the past three years, and the carving was too energy-consuming for her.
Naturally, this work was given to the heirs.
Although Jiang Zi was curious, she didn't resist, and obediently helped the witch into the cave.
"You two take care of the little female. In a moment, the patriarch will send someone to pick her up. Jiang Hong explained to the two males and also entered the cave.
Only Bai Yingying and the two male orcs remained.
"Little female, you just sit at the door and bask in the sun, it's good for your body."
One of the orcs brought her a stone bench, and the other took a thick hide and placed it on it.
After Bai Yingying thanked her, she really sat on the stone bench and basked in the sun.
The morning sun doesn't have any warmth on your body, but it's much more comfortable than being in a cold cave.
Bai Yingying closed her eyes and recuperated, so many things had happened in just two hours this morning, she was tired all over, and her stomach had been bubbling like it was bubbling, which made her a little uncomfortable and sick to her stomach.
Now she just wants to lie down early and rest.
Fortunately, she was a pregnant female, and the patriarch knew about her and arranged a place for her as quickly as possible, and soon a male was ordered to pick her up.
The person who came was a very burly male, nearly 1.9 meters tall.
This time, Bai Yingying did not refuse the other party's kindness, and was carried by the other party to the cave.
The range of the tribe is not small, and if you walk over it on foot, I am afraid that there will be problems.
The orc held her in one hand and held the bamboo basket for her in the other, and she could still walk fast and steadily, with only a slight bump, almost lulling Bai Yingying to sleep.
"Little female, it's here." The orc placed her directly on the bed covered with animal skins.
Bai Yingying opened her eyes, and what she saw was an exceptionally clean cave, about forty or fifty square meters, as if it had been newly developed not long ago.
The patriarch was really generous and directly arranged a new house for her.
Bai Yingying raised her eyes, "Thank you." ”
The orc smiled heartily, "My name is Wei Lai, and I live in the cave next to you, and I am temporarily in charge of your daily life and diet. Whatever you need, you can tell me to do it. ”
Bai Yingying blinked, "Then I'm going to trouble you these days." ”
"It was my privilege to take care of a pregnant female. Seeing that you are tired, go to bed first. Wei Lai intimately covered the animal skin quilt for her, and then politely said goodbye and left.
Bai Yingying changed to an unfamiliar environment, but smelled the familiar smell on the animal skin, and quickly fell asleep.
Wei Lai stood at the entrance of the cave and listened to the movement, making sure that Bai Yingying did not get out of bed and run around, and then left to go hunting.
Wei Lai was indeed a careful and steady orc, and he took care of Bai Yingying in the next two days.
Bai Yingying was indeed tired, and she almost slept in bed for two days in a row.
Only after eating at noon every day, Wei Lai will accompany him to bask in the sun at the entrance of the cave for an hour.
During this period, the two will occasionally chat a few words.
Bai Yingying knew that Wei Lai was 21 years old this year, and his talent was a green rank, a cousin of the patriarch, and a single male.
She also learned that she was famous throughout the tribe.
