I Have a System of Orcs - chapter 46

When the corn was planted in a hurry and the potatoes had sprouted, Wei Changcheng ushered in his first scorching month in the Beastman Continent.

Wei Changcheng couldn’t stand the heat. He originally thought that Vic’s body, which grew up in the Beastman Continent, would not be afraid of the heat. However, Wei Changcheng was wrong. So something like a fan came into being.

Perhaps most of the orcs are used to this kind of weather. Even though the sweat was dripping from their bodies, Wei Changcheng didn’t see any orc who couldn’t bear the heat. Wei Changcheng really didn’t admire it.

Fortunately, there is a river around the tribe. Wei Changcheng takes a bath in the morning, noon and evening. Those who don’t know it think he has a serious cleanliness. Oh, and, every day when Daniel came back, Wei Changcheng stayed far away from Daniel, and he had to wait for Daniel to take a shower to get rid of the sweat and heat before letting Daniel approach him. When going to the farmland, you have to walk along the water transfer channel, and stretch your feet in from time to time to cool off.

Wei Changcheng was lying comfortably in the river at the moment, diving down from time to time to spit bubbles or something, lying down and swimming two laps, Wei Changcheng sighed, these days are really depraved. After swimming two laps, I stopped at another place, and poked my hand down, huh? what is this? Pulled a section down with his hand and put it in front of his eyes. The oval-shaped dark green fruit was a circle smaller than normal grapes, and densely covered the whole aquatic plant. Wei Changcheng tugged, um, very good, it looks like aquatic Long on top.

“Xiao Ke, what is this?”

[Ding! Unknown plant, non-toxic, please name the host. ]

“Is it an unknown plant? And it’s not poisonous.” Wei Changcheng looked at it for a while, and decisively peeled off the thin layer of skin on the outside of the fruit-shaped thing. The flesh inside was also green, but it was light green, and it was still the sticky one. The sticky liquid, Wei Changcheng hesitated for a moment, then licked it, really it, and then—”Damn it! Mint! Fortunately, I didn’t eat it all.” Wei Changcheng groaned strangely, only feeling a cool breeze It rushed to the brain along the mouth, and shuddered, this mint is really delicious!

“Going up, I feel cool all over the place.” Wei Changcheng muttered, and trembling again when he got on the shore, he put on the animal skin on the shore, and looked at the piece of mint he brought up, ” Well, this aquatic plant is called mint grass, and the fruit is called water mint.”

[Ding! Mint grass and water mint were named successfully. ]

Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, mint can also be used in dishes, oh, people use mint leaves in dishes, and to him it is such a strange fruit. But the barbecue smells like mint, Wei Changcheng squinted his eyes and thought about it, forget it, it always feels weird. It can be soaked in water, especially when Daniel comes back from hunting, it will be very hot. When the time comes, drink a large bowl of mint water, it will be very refreshing—this is why I thought of Daniel before marrying.

[Ding! Warm Tips: The water mint liquid is smooth and waterproof after solidification. ]

Yep? so what? Wei Changcheng was at a loss, so what?

[…Ding! Males do not go out of their way to find water when hunting. ] – This host is almost stupid!

Huh? Wei Changcheng seemed to understand what Xiao Ke meant, because males would not deliberately look for water when hunting, so they could only bear with it when they were thirsty and had no water to drink, so Xiao Ke wanted the males to bring water to hunt? Wei Changcheng had a flash of inspiration, and immediately thought of the military pot. Of course, there is no military pot here, and Wei Changcheng thought of the water bags that Mongolian men carry with them. There may be a way to do this. The only thing that can be used is animal skin. After the animal skin is sewn into the shape of a water bag, water can be filled into the water bag, but it will leak! Then Wei Changcheng suddenly came to his senses again. Xiao Ke said that the water mint was smooth and waterproof after solidification? Haha, wouldn’t it mean that the liquid of the water mint should be applied to the inside of the water bag first, and then add water after it dries so that the water won’t leak! This is good this is good! Then sew a small cloth bag on the animal skin at the waist of the males, and insert the water bladder in the waist. What? What do you think about the males turning into beasts? Cut, who cares, let them solve it by themselves.

So Wei Changcheng was very happy to apply the water mint he had just peeled off on a big rock by the river, and it would dry up after two or three hours in the sun. Wei Changcheng didn’t intend to stay here, so he took the remaining mint grass and went to Boris and the others.

So not long after, Wei Changcheng, Alan and Roy met at Boris’ house.

Four people sat around the table, each with a stone bowl in front of them, Wei Changcheng solemnly peeled off another water mint, and said while peeling: “I just found this thing from the river. Call this water herb mint grass, call this fruit water mint, I found that this thing tastes cool, especially suitable for this season.”

After finishing speaking, he put a little mint in each of the four stone bowls. Because he was new to this kind of food, Wei Changcheng was afraid that they would not be able to accept it, so he put less, and mint really doesn’t need too much. After all, if there is too much, it will become bitter.

“You don’t know if this kind of thing can be eaten, so you just eat it?” Boris is the oldest and has the most say, frowning at this moment is even more dignified, “What if it is poisonous? How many people do you know because they ate it wrong?” Did something die?”

Wei Changcheng blinked his eyes, and said how he knew that this thing is not poisonous, and he couldn’t explain it to Boris, and shouldn’t he tell himself at the very beginning that this thing should not be eaten indiscriminately?

In fact, Boris is not to blame for this incident. When Wei Changcheng is looking for things, Daniel is always by his side, and Wei Changcheng can accurately name and even taste the food almost every time. In Daniel’s opinion, Wei Changcheng has eaten these things – although he really doesn’t know why Wei Changcheng knows so many edible things.

Wei Changcheng rubbed his nose and obediently agreed. Boris is also kind to himself, and he must accept this kindness: “Drink it quickly, try it and see how it tastes?”

Seeing Wei Changcheng’s flattering expression, Boris couldn’t say anything more. The three people present drank the water from the stone bowl in front of him. Looking at the expressions of the three people, Wei Changcheng asked curiously. :”how is it going.”

“Weird.” Allen smacked his lips, took another sip and sipped, “But I like it.”

“It’s quite weird.” Roy continued, “It’s cool and refreshing. I think it must be good if the hunting and patrolling males can drink it. But don’t talk about drinking this mint water, just take a sip Water is not easy. Every time the males go to the forest to hunt in different places, and they don’t look for water sources, they only look for a stream or something when they rest at noon.”

Wei Changcheng smiled: “I have a way.”

“What way?” Boris asked.

“You will know soon.” Wei Changcheng whispered on the table, then straightened up, “Let’s make water bags this afternoon.”

“Water bag?”

“Well, if it succeeds, the males will have water to drink when they go hunting and patrolling.” Wei Changcheng paused, “I need animal hides, strong animal hides, and needles and threads.”

Allen: “I’ll get it. I have a lot of useless animal skins at home. There are also needles and threads.”

Alan stood up and was about to go, Wei Changcheng said suddenly: “Roy, you go with Alan, to save too many animal skins that Alan can’t get back by himself.”

Roy didn’t think much, stood up and followed Allen.

While Alan and Roy were going to fetch the animal skins, Wei Changcheng ran to the river again to look at the mint juice he had applied there before he left, and reached out to touch it. Very good, the viscous liquid had dried up. It’s smooth to the touch, yet firm.

Wei Changcheng went down the river again and picked a lot of water mint, and then went to Boris’ cave. When he returned to the cave, Alan and Roy had already returned. Wei Changcheng rummaged through the animal skins piled on the table, and picked out some suitable ones.

“Hey, first squeeze the water mint out and squeeze it on the furless side of these animal hides, then take it outside and spread it on the ground to dry.”

No one asked Wei Changcheng why he wanted to do this. Everyone present knew that Wei Changcheng didn’t like people asking about the results during the process of making things, and they could only ask questions about how to do it next. So Boris, Allen, and Roy worked hard, and Wei Changcheng picked out all the animal skins that could be used to make water bladders from a pile of animal skins. As for the animal skins that were too large, it was easy to handle. Whether it was Boris or Roy, it was torn in half as soon as it was torn. After picking out the animal skins, Wei Changcheng went to send the animal skins coated with mint juice outside to dry: “Be sure to paint carefully, otherwise the water bag will not be able to hold water.”

After Boris and others coated the animal skins selected by Wei Changcheng with mint juice, the animal skins sent out at the beginning were almost dry, so Wei Changcheng simply moved the place where several people made water bags to the outside of the cave , the light outside is strong, so of course the sewing work has to be done outside. It didn’t come out just now because I was afraid that the mint juice would dry while being applied, so it wouldn’t look good if it was painted with pits—no one would open the water bag to see inside what is it.

Wei Changcheng was afraid of heat, so when the three of Boris were bathed in the bright sunshine, most of Wei Changcheng’s body was still in the cave, and only a small part was exposed to borrow the light from the outside. The next thing will be easy. Wei Changcheng taught the three people present how to sew water bags. Alan is worthy of being a female. She quickly understood what Wei Changcheng meant. After bowing her head and working hard for a while, a water bag Appearing in Alan’s hand, Alan who made the water sac was very happy, but Wei Changcheng thought of something again, and his expression was a little weird.

“What about the small opening on the top? Can’t it just be left open?” Roy asked.

“Huh? Ah, that.” Wei Changcheng came back to his senses, “It’s best to have something that can fit into this small opening, and it won’t fall out.”

“I think you can use straight-knotted trees.” Roy said, “Straight-knotted trees are segmented, very thin, and can be made into small pieces and stuffed into this opening. Just slit according to the thickness of the straight-knotted tree Just make the mouth of the water bag.”

“Where is the straight knot tree?” Wei Changcheng asked.

Roy raised his head subconsciously: “The northern mountain is covered with salt blocks, while the southern mountain is covered with straight knotted trees. I’ll go get some off it.”

Seeing Roy’s figure disappear above, Wei Changcheng’s eyes fell on Allen: “Allen, shouldn’t this first water bag be given away?”

Allen stared: “What do you want?”

“Hehehehe, I think you should know what I mean.”

Allen bit his lip: “…I see.”

Boris was sewing the water bladder seriously, well, I didn’t hear anything.
