Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 49
When the high priest came to discuss with us that You Xi, the patriarch of the aquarium, would stay in our house temporarily, I was sitting in the hall to make my new crossbow.
This time, Hongda didn’t know where to find a wood chip with strong elasticity and high tenacity. He originally brought it back for children to play with. I watched them use things to make slingshots, although it was Modeled on the crossbow, the power is not bad.
In order to prevent them from bouncing around in this way and hurting each other, finally let Hongda change their slingshots, and even their ammunition was replaced with small mud pellets mixed with leaves and made. However, I asked him to give me the remaining wood that Hongda brought back, especially the branches of that tree. I tried it. It was very flexible and very solid. It was pushed and pulled. It will not break easily.
In the beginning, whether I made bows and arrows for myself, or the bows and arrows of the clan, even the crossbow of Luo Lei was made by me using bamboos near the tribe with horns, cowhide and the like. Although I still have a certain understanding of the wood selection of bows and arrows, in the past, I used to make bows and arrows directly to buy wood. If I want to see the trees, I don’t know many trees, especially the wood of the trees here. I don’t have time to understand them one by one. I just have a little understanding of the ones that I use when I do things. It’s not very helpful for making more powerful bows and arrows.
Now that I think about it, I spend most of my time on the construction of the clan, but I don’t have much time to do things that interest me.
In the past few days, I did not do things in the clan. I observed different woods every day, and instead I got this kind of wood for making good bows from Hongda. I have been busy cooking cow glue these days, making new bows and arrows, and even thinking about making another good bow from this kind of wood.
So when the high priest came to the house and sat down in the hall to talk to Luo Lei, I was still sitting in the hall, rubbing the cowhide rope.
When Luo Lei listened to what the high priest said, he looked back at me embarrassedly. I looked at him, squinted at him, and said nothing.
When the high priest went out, he looked at me in particular and asked me: “What are you doing?”
I looked up at him, smiled, and did not speak to him.
He stood there looking at me, then at Loley, and finally left by himself.
Luo Lei said that he had agreed with You Xi when he came to live in our house. I looked at him and didn’t say anything for a long time. I just smiled at last.
He seemed a little scared, and repeatedly told me that he didn’t mean that.
It’s just that I looked at him, didn’t say anything, and ignored him.
When it was time to go out hunting, he almost ran out.
I really want to defend that this is my home, and I don’t want anyone, especially that Youxi, to live in. But in fact, with them, I am not sure that this is my home.
According to the principle of public ownership, these are only houses recognized by the clan for the patriarch and his partner to live in. Although it was built by my idea, because I did not build it alone, in any sense, I have no right to come. Ask for this house. So I didn’t say much. I understand the meaning of the high priest, and I believe that Lore also understands. I even began to wonder, does he have such an idea, or that he also thinks that my influence on this tribe is too great, even surpassing him? So it also made him uneasy.
But my concession does not mean that I am a bully. If I really want these, I can get them by means. I believe that they may not be like me if it comes to means. As long as I insist on doing nothing and live here, although You Xi may also live in in the end, I have a way to win.
It’s just that I’m tired too. From the time this incident appeared, I felt tired.
Perhaps to be correct, I have been very tired since the beginning of my involvement with more and more people here. But, for the sake of Luo Lei’s expectations, I still persisted.
Now, even Loray makes me tired. Although we don’t live in the same bed these days, I still don’t know what he is thinking after sleeping together in the same bed for so many years.
He knows that I have repeatedly reiterated to him that I will never accept the third person, no matter whose idea it is. He also knew that I would never make any understanding or compromise on this matter. He still didn’t know what he was hesitating.
I’m tired. Even though he is guarding me every night, he must go out during the day if it is not for hunting or something. He will never leave me for half a step, and even looks at me with some sadness.
But I’m still tired. No one knows what others are thinking or hesitating. If he doesn’t tell me, I will never know what he is thinking, afraid and worried about now. I know he is afraid and worried about something, but this is not the reason why he can violate my taboo. If he is worried or afraid, if he can tell me, I can accept it, but if he doesn’t tell me, then I would rather act according to my own wishes.
Rather than using the same methods that women we know to take to obtain victory that will make them more exhausting, it is better to find a life that makes them more happier.
Not long after Luo Lei went out, I had already put the things I needed in the car. I didn’t need many things, my tools and tents that I might use, some dry food and herbs that I made myself. The one I learned the most from the high priest here is probably this, because I am also a little interested in this. I tie my quilt and made clothes with a large piece of animal skin and put them on the back of the bullock cart. The two clay pots and tools that were originally there are also put on, and I don’t need other things.
Although there are still many fruits of my labor in the house, I really don’t need it anymore.
In the past, no matter how sad I was, I never thought about leaving my father and mother, but now, I am very fortunate that there are no parents here, and I don’t have much ties to me here, since I can even stumble upon me. People here are nothing but this, then I can continue to be free.
It is feasible to take Rhone with me. After all, Rhone is almost nine years old. Whether it is physical fitness or his own ability, he can live with me. But it’s really unrealistic to take A Rui with me. A Rui is only four years old, and he takes him with me to eat and sleep outside, and I am not a person who can take care of others carefully. After all, although for them , Maybe I should be like a mother, but in fact I can’t do it either. I am very worried about taking him out. He might get sick because of fatigue and no place to live, eat bad food, and have accidents because we are not able to take care of him. They stay here, even Loray needs to take good care of them. After all, they were adopted children under Luo Lei’s name.
A few days in advance, I also told them that if I leave, they will live with Abba. If there is any problem, they will go to Xinmu Abba and Abman, they will also help-I just followed Aman said, if I can’t take care of these two children, I will ask them to take care of these two children. The clan will also provide them with food. He only needs to take care of them where they can live and live in stability. Although he didn’t understand, Aman nodded. I believe that Luo Lei will not ignore these two children. Even the high priest had to understand the significance of these two children to Luo Lei.
Even so, after I packed my things, Ari stared at me when he heard that I might be leaving, and asked me: “Where are you going? Ari goes too.”
I laughed: “You can’t go, you are too young. When you grow up, you can go by yourself.”
What I want is to look at the wider world and see more things in this world. Looking at the wider world, it may be the dream of many people in the 21st century. In the past, I also thought about quitting my job to travel around the world, but finally gave up for various reasons. After I got here, I also thought that if my life gets better, I will no longer be afraid and ignorant of the world, and when I have a certain strength, I will look at the world. After all, I can use resources at will. Traveling around the world may be easier than in the 21st century, although it is also more dangerous. Only after so many things happened, I started to settle here again. After so many years, I never left, and I just stayed in this corner. Now it has become an opportunity for me. Just traveling the world with a child is still a dangerous and uncertain world, unless I am crazy.
Because I didn’t let him go, A Rui curled his lips and cried for his brother to hold him.
Rona looked at me for a while, but didn’t say anything.
I know that he is a sensible child and will take good care of his younger brother, so I let them play by themselves.
Although Ari was crying and reluctant to leave, he took him away because Rona was holding him.
I went to the cowshed in the backyard and put two cows, one large and one small, that I had picked up a long time ago, into the ox cart—this is a cow and a trap that I used to catch when I went hunting with Lore. The calf following the cow. The mother and son have never left, but the calf has almost grown to the height of a cow. When I caught them two years ago, I asked Luo Lei to wear them with nose rings, so they are relatively behaving now, and I have my credit for catching them, so I have a reason to take them away.
I put away the half-made things in my work room and piled them up next to the pond at the entrance. When I watched the burning flames, I didn’t know why. I actually felt some strange comfort in my heart. I even felt that I was too comfortable. With a sigh of relief.
When Luo Lei came back from the outside, things were almost burnt.
I glanced at him, smiled, didn’t say anything, turned around and took the ox cart that had been set at the door.
Luo Lei stretched out his hand to hold my shoulder and was hit by the wooden fork handle in my hand. There was a “slap” sound. I thought it should be very painful, so his hand was obviously red and swollen. His hand was also thrown away.
But he didn’t feel it, and he stretched out his hand again, and even walked up to me, as if he wanted to catch me from the front.
But I didn’t give him a chance. The fork in my hand was made of iron wood by him. That was our best time. At that time I started to have some interest in him. When I aim this fork at him, as long as he takes a step forward, there will be a few more holes in his body.
He didn’t seem to be afraid of this, but more like sorrow. He looked at me and reached out his hand to me, as if he wanted me to respond.
When I looked at him, I suddenly thought why he was so funny? I even wanted to laugh and laugh, but I just looked at him: “I’m leaving. Killing you doesn’t mean anything to me. I have something I want to do. You can develop your tribe well in the future.”
His throat seemed to move, as if trying to say something.
The high priest brought Belo and the others over, standing at the door watching us. Even the Shui Clan’s You Xi and his two standing attendants also stood with them. On the contrary, I looked like an alien.
I looked at Bello and Gunan who were standing behind the high priest, and looked at the high priest who didn’t know what I was thinking, and raised my eyebrows, “I’m leaving.”
