Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 56

Because in the wasteland, although the other party does not seem to have many people, all of our males still stand up and prepare to protect our females and children. The atmosphere seemed a bit tense for a while.

But soon, Luo Lei waved to Canaan.

I also recognized the four people of the other party-two from the Xing clan and two from the Wing clan. I can’t name them, but I have seen them all.

Seeing us, they felt relieved, and even speeded up their pace to catch up, but when they saw me, they slowed down again. It seems embarrassing or embarrassing.

I didn’t say anything, I just avoided their sight a little bit, then sat down and continued to eat, and Luo Lei greeted them.

Seeing that it was someone I knew before, and seeing that I didn’t have any special reaction, everyone also sat down to eat one after another without paying too much attention to it.

After Luo Lei had finished speaking with them, he originally seemed to want them to come and eat together, but it seemed that they refused. Instead, they sat down to the side of the tree and ate the dried food such as dried meat they brought.

When Luo Lei sat next to me, I glanced at him. Seeing that he seemed a little embarrassed, I asked Rona and Yejia to carry two bowls of mixed soup each. We still have a lot of this. Even if we let each of them drink two bowls of soup, each of us would just drink less soup and eat more barbecue. What’s more, we have no shortage of food these days. Sometimes we even have to drink the leftover soup, and the little guys still eat their stomachs. Sometimes, when I patted A Rui’s belly, I felt that he seemed to be eating too much, and I was worried that his belly would burst. It was like holding a small watermelon in my arms.

Although Ye Jia looked reluctant, but watching me staring at him, he finally got up with Rona. When the people saw my decision, they didn’t seem to oppose it. This is probably the generosity and kindness of primitive people.

Seeing the two children heading over there with two bowls of soup, Luo Lei was also by my side, and stuffed a handful of things like dried leaves into my hand.

I saw that the four people who came over seemed to take the miscellaneous soup that Rona and them brought over with a slight excuse. Then I looked back, put down the guy who was eating, and opened the leaves that Lore had put in my hand.

Although the things drawn on the leaves are not very good, I can see what they are. They are a few pictures of pottery, from digging the soil, mixing the mud, drying in the shade to entering the kiln. Although it can’t be said very clearly, it also allows me I basically understand how the kilns here are dug and how to make these finished pottery.

This should almost be regarded as a specialty that Xingzu didn’t want to tell other people. I don’t know if Gunan gave this to me after the decision of other people in the Xing clan, but in fact I am very grateful. Although this thing can also be gradually explored after seeing it a few times, I have also seen Xing clan people choose nearby. Soil, digging, making and doing things in the shade, but with such detailed paintings, I actually want to preserve this as a cultural relic. After thousands of years, these leaves are definitely protected cultural relics, although the paintings are not very good.

I showed things to Luo Lei, and then to Canaan. Then I threw these leaves into the fire in front of the four people who were looking at us and all the people of the tribe. The other thing is just to show an attitude. I accepted the kindness given by Gunan and Xing clan, but I would not disclose this to anyone other than the clan.

In fact, when I watched this, I noticed that two people from the Xing clan were paying attention to me.

Luo Lei also told me that these people listened to Luo Lie and Gunan’s words to return the things of our family to us. That cow was the third cow in our family, and it was also given to us by Luo Lei when he got married. My calf grew up, Luo Lie said, this is a gift that Luo Lei gave me to get married (equivalent to a bride price?). He can’t accept such a gift, so he asks me to return these things to me.

In the two baskets on the cow’s back, there are about a dozen wild ducks and wild geese, which are half of the animals raised in our yard. Luo Lie said that half of the things from our house were given to the clan because of Luo Lei’s decision, and the other half was given to him and the old patriarch by Luo Lei, and he decided to return it to us. The sheep are also raised by our family. Two of the sheep carry a bamboo basket with two turkeys on their backs, and the other sheep have a bamboo basket with some clay pots and pots on their backs. Bamboo baskets There are also a lot of leaves stuffed to prevent these appliances from being damaged. The turkey was raised by our family. The pots and pots were originally intended to be made for the Youzu this time. Because we were all gone, Gunan said to send them to us.

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, and couldn’t help but cast their eyes on the four people who were a little bewildered, squatting under the tree farther away from us, waiting for dawn.

Maybe because we are all staring at them, they are even more at a loss, and they just want to escape here.

Although I didn’t know if it was necessary, I stood up and walked towards them.

Perhaps it was because they were a little nervous seeing me walking towards them, and all four of them stood up and lowered their heads.

I looked at them and was silent for a while before I said to them: “Thank you for your hard work.”

Obviously I didn’t expect me to say this. The four of them looked up at me almost involuntarily, and shook their heads subconsciously: “No, no…”

I was a little dumb, even if they were dumbfounded, they were so unanimous, but after all, they still didn’t say anything because I didn’t know what to say.

The night passed very quickly. We all followed the habit of the previous day. Some people rest first, and some rest later. Those four people just rested in our patrol area and prepared to return to the Hezu people the next day. go with.

This is because as soon as we have to bring some things to the third bullock cart that has already been completed, we have to prepare how to bring everything with us, and we have to catch up with all the cattle and sheep that are sent.

So Luo Lei and Canaan both got up very early. When I was still in a daze, I vaguely noticed that Luo Lei, who came to rest next to me in the middle of the night, had risen.

When I got up, I realized that the sun had already risen a little, and the sky was already bright.

After washing and checking, I noticed that everything that was originally piled on the first ox cart has been placed on the third ox cart, plus the bamboo baskets on the backs of the cattle and sheep, and the third ox cart has also been stacked. Is very full. I even began to think about whether to make two wheels while I was sitting in the ox cart, and there was no need for more solid and useful wood, as long as I could stick to the location of the new tribe. Anyway, we also have a cow. .

Take a look at the wood used by Luo Lei and others for making bullock carts yesterday. There is indeed a round tree stump that is one or two meters long. I thought about it and let Luo Lei help me treat the tree stump as flat as possible into four sections. Bring it too.

During breakfast, I realized that the four people were no longer nearby.

Luo Lei said that they had already left at dawn, and Luo Lei had to bring me a message, to the effect of saying I’m sorry. In short, they didn’t know how to say it, anyway, it was quite guilty. The traveler also told Luo Lei that Gunan said that although he wanted to come too, but he had his people to take care of, so he could only thank Luo Lei and me for helping him for so long, and then he was sorry. Speaking of Luo Lie again, Luo Lei said that Luo Lie also wanted to tell me that he and Ah Xing are very grateful to me. According to reason, they should follow, but they did not have the courage, and Luo Lei and I were gone. They don’t know what the tribe will do in the future. They can’t abandon this place where they were born and raised, so they are also very sorry to me.

For me, what they do is taken for granted, but there is no special feeling. After all, it is absolutely impossible for Gunan to abandon his people for me and Luo Lei. Luo Lie and A Xing were there from birth until they grew up. There are their Abba and Ah Mo. They have children under two years old. The relationship with Luo Lei and I is not particularly close, and Luo Lei I also asked them to take care of the two old patriarchs, so it’s okay for me that they won’t come. Not everyone can give up themselves for others. It should be said that many people can’t ignore themselves for others. This is human nature. I have nothing to say.

Because we have so many things, we seem to be walking a little bit slower, which also makes me a little anxious. According to Canaan’s estimation, it would take us about forty days to reach the bank of another river at this speed. , It may take two or three days from the side of the river to the terrace on the opposite bank.

It is the dry season. The more time we spend on the road, the harder it is to maintain our physical strength. Besides the salt and seasonings we brought, Canaan hardly thought of bringing seasonings out. Even Aman and Alin, because of the rush to come out, only brought a few kilograms of salt that they kept at home. If this goes on, soon, we will lose the interest in advancing like playing.

I definitely don’t want my people to reach the new tribal location exhausted, nor do I want any shortages and accidents on the road. I can’t help but feel a little anxious at such a speed. I have been thinking about how to increase our speed. How can we maintain our strength during the journey? Because I was doing things half-heartedly, I accidentally got my fingers while chiseling those wheels with a wooden wedge.

When Luo Lei saw that I was slightly injured, it was as if he was facing an enemy. It’s just that there are priests and pharmacists here. Obviously, I just accidentally smashed my fingers a little, and he seemed to have seen something extraordinary, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and there was nothing to do. In the end, I had to tie my fingers into a small mallet with cotton strips, which made my fingers look more swollen. Even A Rui said, “Ama’s fingers are a small-belly tree.”

The small belly tree is a tree that is not tall but has a big belly. It is not uncommon on this grassland. I even thought about relying on this tree before we cross this river and walk to another river. According to Canaan’s estimation, there will be two or three days to spend between. There is a delicious sap in the huge belly of this tree. Cut the bark open and put it in with a straw. The sap that flows out along the straw is the sweet sap like sugar water.

It’s just that the beauty of that kind of tree is not very good. The crown of this kind of tree is very small, like messy hair, the belly is very big, and the trunk is much smaller. From a distance, it looks like a funny big head. Staring at the grass nest-like hair.

I really don’t want him to describe it like that. Just looking at my fingers, and then at the small belly trees that I can occasionally see on the grassland, I feel: They are really similar.

But Lorei even saw that I wanted to untie this ridiculous bandage, he looked at me with almost sad eyes, making me completely helpless and had to give up.

Although it’s not easy to do things like this, he will give me an expression of “If you dare to take it down, I will show you some color” whenever he is free. I still took these fingers and made two wheels that weren’t very beautiful in two days. It’s not good-looking but it’s not good-looking, but I gave it a gesture, and I guess it will work. Coupled with the two wheels that Lore used to make while resting and on duty. We can finally make the fourth bullcart.

We caught a cow last time, and that cow is still alive. I thought about it and made an eyemuff out of animal skins to cover its eyes so that it can cover its head for better control. Several clansmen forced it to wear a nose ring to prevent it from running around. Although it was very uncomfortable after wearing the nose ring two days ago, it has been trying to get rid of it, perhaps because of the pain, it also seemed a little weak. However, with the addition of the bull’s eye, Canaan and Luo Lei took turns holding it in person, and it was finally settled in these two days.

After letting the people rest for a long time, they made a simple ox cart and put it on the cow. The fourth ox cart was finally done. In addition to putting everything up, people who are on duty can also sit in the ox cart and take a nap. Everyone who is watching the night is also working hard at night. Even though the rest is not long, everyone seems to be in spirit. It’s also better. Even the speed of travel seems to have increased a bit.

But I didn’t expect that soon, there would be a permanent population on the fourth carriage…
