Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 81
After harvesting the first season of rice, I started to notice something was wrong. Our rice was not even dried, and the sky began to rain continuously.
At first, because it was the rainy season, we didn’t pay much attention. It wasn’t until Ah Dou came to complain to me that it will rain tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and it will rain all the time. When he is about to get moldy, maybe the water will swell, I suddenly remembered that this rain has been raining for too long. The depression outside the door has already begun to flood, and we don’t even have time to plant the next season’s crops. I can only hope that after the rain, we can catch enough prey, or the water will recede quickly.
Luo Lei is worried these days, probably because of his animal instinct. He has told me these days that he wants me to sleep well, but he himself is busy checking whether the fence behind us is strong, and he doesn’t dare to sleep at night. Fortunately, his alertness is high. One day, when the mountain behind us began to roll down the dirt, he had already noticed it in time. Not only did the two children and me be dragged out, but also the people in the room below were notified in time.
Before the next wave of mudslides began to come down, many of us were brought to a safer place by these animalized males, but at the same time, we also watched our tribe get buried in the mud and rocks mixed with streams from the mountains. Pile.
Because Luo Lei felt uneasy a few days ago, and I believe in the instincts of animals, after discussing with the elders of several tribes, we decided to put a part of the tribe’s newly harvested grain in wooden boxes and put them in the back mountain. In a higher cave, but now it seems that the food can only support the whole clan for about two months.
I don’t know when the rain will stop, and this small cave can’t hold everyone, everyone is starting to feel a little anxious.
For the first few days, we still used the males to guard the entrance of the cave and use some leaves to cover the rain, while the females and children hid in the cave to support it, thinking that it might not rain tomorrow.
But as time passed, it became more and more difficult for everyone to sustain it. Especially Adou, who knows the weather best, always gives the answer every time it rains, which makes everyone more anxious.
Although everyone is relatively orderly now, it is impossible for males to stay outside the cave all the time. No matter how healthy they are, they will be soaked in the rain. There are already a few males showing cold and fever symptoms. Although I don’t care about this kind of thing here, I am still very worried. Although it is believed here that a cold is what they say is not a big deal, but if you stay in the rain, even males with better health will inevitably turn to other diseases. This is the situation now. They have a cold, and there is no other way except to drink **** soup, and the cave simply cannot accommodate more people.
The food is also decreasing day by day. Because I am trapped on the mountain, the plain below has already risen, and large areas of water have begun to appear on the plain. It is difficult to see even a cow, sheep and animals, and hunting must be difficult. impossible. We are only supported by the food we exist here.
Although everyone is still calm now, because after all we still have food, we can survive for a while without eating, but there is no supply, no more food, no place to rest, I don’t know we still How long can it last?
To be honest, I regretted it a little bit. When I chose this place, I only saw the benefits here, but ignored the risk of mudslides in the event of heavy rain. I also forgot that under any circumstances, I shouldn’t think of it as one. This plan is foolproof.
Looking down from the mountain, except for the part of our tribe more than two or three meters above the dirt, everything else has been submerged in the falling mud and rocks. It is estimated that there are not many things we put at home that can be saved. After all We can’t get in right now, so including the cows raised in our backyard, except for the one that Luo Lei gave me because it has been raised for a long time and was put in the family as a cow. The other two and those few sheep are probably not there. Can escape.
Fortunately, most of the cattle and sheep raised in the clan are still there because they are near the very side on the plain at the foot of the mountain. Luo Lei has taken people to bring the remaining cattle and sheep up through the other side. However, there are 26 cows and a dozen of them left. As for the more than 30 sheep, there are still more than 20.
Now, what we need is to find a suitable place where everyone in the clan can hide first, so that we can avoid such disasters first.
Luo Lei hasn’t avoided me lately, but he has no time to talk to me now. On the first day, he was busy instructing everyone to escape to the cave, and then assign who is in the cave and who is guarding outside the cave. The next day he noticed that our cattle and sheep were not completely swallowed, so he was busy taking people to lead the cattle and sheep through the other side of the mountain. It took more than a day, and now, he is preparing to go to the back Find a cave on a higher mountain.
“We have to let everyone have a place to hide from the rain, otherwise, the males must not be able to stand it either.” Luo Lei said.
“Yes.” Canaan and Gunan both nodded.
Even Lin Sen, who has wings that are not afraid of rain as a moa, apparently agrees with them: “Yes.”
Of course I know this is correct, but how to find a cave that can accommodate everyone? This is the first problem we need to solve now. So, I can only say nothing.
Everyone knows where I am embarrassed, and there is nothing to say for a while. Even if we want to move people to where, first of all, we need to find a place where we can move, and then we must consider how to move. We must also consider whether children can withstand such bumps, and finding a place that can accommodate all of us is our top priority.
Canaan and Gunan were thinking, Lin Sen was watching Ah Dou who was still watching the rain at the entrance of the cave.
Luo Lei looked around at the door huddling in the rain, or hiding under the leaves. After a while, he said firmly: “I will take people to the back mountain to find the cave!”
Sometimes I think Luo Lei is really stupid, because sometimes his sense of responsibility is really beyond my understanding, but this kind of thing happened to him, I think it is for granted, after all, this is the Hezu has always The patriarchs being trained are truly born for the tribe since childhood.
Just do it. Luo Lei said something to Canaan, explained something to Gunan, and whispered something I didn’t know to Luo Lie, and then he walked towards me.
I haven’t faced him like this for a long time. I was actually a little nervous, but he didn’t tell me anything. He just bowed his head and kissed me on the forehead as we first met. He looked at me like when we first approached, smiled at me again, and turned around and took Lu who had agreed to go with me. Kesi, Muxi and the others left together.
And he didn’t know at all, just because of his actions, I was laughed at by Ah Dou for a long time, saying that the two of us were too much, old man and old man for so many years, so he showed others what this kind of intimate scene was doing. God knows, just a few days ago, he just teased me and said, if Luo Lei treats me badly, just kick him for someone else! Moreover, this is just a kiss on the forehead, is it okay? It’s much better than the stimulating me that he hugs Lin Sen all day long, okay?
It was also probably because they knew that Luo Lei and the others had gone out to find a cave where they could stay, so the whole tribe was initially a little impetuous, but some stabilized.
While the males are staying in the trees, from time to time someone sings a song in the lighter rain, and there are females in the cave to pick them up. Maybe, occasionally there will be children making noises, just sing and sing together. Yes, everyone can pass the day.
Although the two children in our family don’t sing, they do something. Ye Jia and a few other children over six years old are following me to learn arithmetic, and Ah Dou taught them some simple words, so they can also Get together and fight each other’s memory.
Among all of them, I am probably more impetuous.
Even if Canaan patted my shoulder several times and told me “It’s okay”, Gunan also comforted me several times that I didn’t have to wait at the door all the time. Even Luo Lie had been persuading me to go back to the cave and rest first, but I still couldn’t. Peace of mind.
It’s not that I don’t believe in Luo Lei and the others, but I’m too worried about the look in Luo Lei’s eyes before going out. His will that he will never come back if he doesn’t find it and his firm look. I don’t know what to do. At a loss, I certainly suspect that I am nervous. But look at the sympathetic eyes of Canaan and they occasionally look at me, how can I feel awkwardly sad!
Until the sixth day they went out, those few people returned one after another.
Extraordinary: Luo Lei (7)
Watching him tidy up his things, want to leave, watch him burn his things in this house, plan to use his new invention and leave me, I have no way to blame.
I can only tell the tribe to let him go.
That’s right, just let him go.
I will not deny that my own heart hurts terribly at that time, and I will never hide it. He looked at me with sad and disappointed eyes, which made me feel desperate.
But, apart from accepting, I can’t blame anyone.
As Arnold told me later, even if he died, as long as I was firm, he could be firm.
I never knew his mood.
Behind him were the Canaan and You tribe people who hadn’t been to our tribe for a long time. They built an ox cart and planned to follow him.
The high priest wanted to stop, but I agreed to release the people with the power of the patriarch.
Rona and Ari looked at Ye Jia in the bullock cart with eyes, and I agreed to go with them, holding Ari, and I told him: “You go and look for Ah, then, Abba will come to you.”
Even Xin Mu and Aman, who had just given birth to a child a few months ago, were planning to go with the Youzu, and the Bello family immediately packed up things and planned to go with them when they heard what A Rui and I had said.
I don’t know how to describe my mood.
Luo Lie said, if I can’t leave, they plan to go with Bello’s house, but I refused, and I told Luo Lie that if I go out, the tribe and Abba Ama will ask him for it.
Luo Lie seemed shocked. But this is really nothing to me. Yes, I was born for the tribe since I was a child, and I have been working hard to make the people of the tribe better. Even since I was a child, Dad told me that no matter what. , You must prioritize the tribe, you must first consider the needs of the tribe, because you will be the patriarch and must do everything for the tribe.
However, before being the patriarch, as a person, in my life, I couldn’t live without Arnold. Sometimes I also expect that Arnold can stand behind me, maybe even Arnold should not be so capable, so that we can live more peacefully. But if he always walks in front of me with his head held high, I can only follow him, not leave him.
Before the official announcement, the high priest and I asked for an antidote for those people of the Yuzu. From now on, they must protect Arnold, and I must ensure that they have enough strength to protect Arnold. And when this kind of medicine broke out, no matter who it was, it couldn’t do anything, and could only hold back, but the antidote was definitely not something that Arnold could make with the herbal level of half a bucket of water.
The high priest obviously understood my intentions. Although he reluctantly handed over the medicine, he still made a request when I asked to leave the race—Ano and the Yuzu people, as well as Belo and Simmu’s family. These people left with the consent of my patriarch, and he has nothing to say, but as the patriarch, if I really want to leave, it is a traitor and a price is to be paid.
I can see that he has more and he still wants me to stay, because he has repeatedly said that if I don’t leave the clan, I will still be the patriarch, what I want to do or how to do it.
However, I have already let Arnold leave because of his words. Do I really want to watch myself lose Arnold? When I think of Ye Jia secretly telling me that if I don’t like Arnold, he wants his father to marry Arnold. Will he and Arui have Ah, I feel very unhappy in my heart, and even worried about Canaan. Did you do something to Arnold while I was away (OTZ), so in the end, I still shook my head.
Abba and Ah Ma look sad. I know what Abba did behind his back. In fact, he helped the high priest to do these things. There was also Abba’s acquiescence behind him. But I also understand that Abba did it for me. , Abba doesn’t hate Arnold or anything, but he says that as my Abba, he thinks about me first, and he thinks about me as his child, as the me who he thinks is the patriarch, not My female Arnold. Maybe Arnold can resent and be dissatisfied, but as his child, I have nothing to say. I really can’t blame him for his desire to make his child feel better, even if he is unfair to Arnold. Apart from being guilty, I can’t blame him for such a-ba. One day we will be parents and one day we will face the same problem, and I can’t guarantee that I can do better. So, besides going to show my attitude with Arnold, I am also ashamed of the angry Abba and the tearful Ah Mo in my heart.
Perhaps, a good partner and a good child, for me, are destined to be incompatible with each other.
According to the punishment of the tribe’s traitor, it was originally to hang in the sun for seven days, waiting for the punishment from the gods. In this way, even if the traitor does not die in the sun, he will have to collapse. Even if it is lucky and it rains on the way, in fact, it is impossible for anyone to hang it for a few days.
But the high priest said, I am the patriarch, and it would be too decent to hang in the clan, so I decided to let people beat me with seventy sticks. As for whether the seventy sticks should be beaten in one day or separated for a few days, it is also up to I choose, if I change my decision later, I won’t have to fight the rest.
I know that the high priest meant to release the water. If I want to stay, even for a few days, he hopes that I will change my mind halfway through this. But I don’t want to wait any longer. So of course I chose to finish it in one day, so I can go to Arnold as soon as possible.
You Xi of the Shui Clan was looking at me. He kept looking at me during the execution. His eyes were incredible and deeply lonely. After that, he bowed his head and quickly left the tribe. I think if he finds someone he loves, maybe he can understand my feelings, and he is indeed a good patriarch, because he chose his tribe first in front of his feelings. I can even see the interlocking eyes of the aquarium male who occasionally appeared next to him, but he didn’t hesitate to stagger after he was shocked, and now he bowed his head and went out, and the man followed.
After the execution, I can’t stay in the tribe, because I am no longer a member of this tribe. But fortunately, the clansmen who were tortured were also merciful, so in addition to the pain on my back and body, I could barely get up.
When I came out, Gunan, who had not spoken, stopped me. He seemed to be a little guilty. He put a handful of leaves in my hand and hurriedly said: “I’m sorry, I…”
As the patriarch of the Xing Clan, no matter what he thinks, he can’t really follow us. Moreover, the Xing Clan people finally stabilized here, and they are definitely not willing to go for a while, let alone follow them. We are familiar with Anuo and me. Although the Xing clan people are the same clan with us, they are more Xing clan. People who have just stabilized in the Wing Clan are of course not willing to leave the difficult environment, even if they are the patriarch, It is certainly impossible to leave them behind, or to persuade them to go with us.
So he took the leaves in his hand and stuffed it into his arms, and accepted the medicine, dried meat and water that Luo Lie hurriedly brought with me that I announced that I could receive the things from my house and home, and he seemed to want to speak up. Luo Lie shook his head, put the things they gave into the animal skin bag Luo Lie brought and tied it on his body. I walked out of the tribe quickly.
When hovering in the air and looking down at this tribe for the last time, I felt sad for a moment. After all, this is the place where I grew up. I have lived here for more than ten years. Abba has always told me that this place will be mine from now on. Responsibilities and my people, but now, I have put them aside. If I have to say guilt, I am also guilty of these responsibilities that have gone deep into my bones. But when I thought of Arnold, who had no idea where he was, and thinking of my partner and children, I turned my head cruelly, and pursued in the direction Arnold and the others were going.
Speaking of this pursuit, if it were before, it would not be difficult for me. But it was not easy for me who was injured, and in the past two days, maybe it was the effect of the wound on my body. Although I had used the medicine Luo Lie gave me, I still felt a little dizzy.
If it hadn’t been for Canaan to tell me before I left, he would propose to Arnold to go to a depression he had told me before, and I probably knew that the depression that Canaan said was richer than here in that direction, I It is almost impossible to catch up with them so quickly.
From the sky, I could see them walking slowly on the ground, and Rona’s voice was loud, because he had already seen me.
So, during the slow descent, I also saw my Arnold, jumped out of the car so quickly, and then walked a few steps in my direction.
He is not accustomed to expressing feelings, just as he walked a few steps towards me, probably also felt embarrassed.
However, I have already taken a few steps forward and held him, who had a slightly red face, in my arms—this person, always, is mine, he, and mine.
