These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues - Chapter 138

On the day of the festival, it was a little warm sun that was hard to see in the whole winter. The sky was clear and blue, the sun was gentle and lazy, and even the wind had an indescribable gentleness.

Lei Jin was awakened by the sound of burning bamboo inside and outside the tribe.

“It’s like spring.” Lei Jin ran lazily along the stream in the morning.

The horned antelope in the grass shed looked up lazily at the still withered and yellow grassland. There were not many acquaintances, and with a small tail, they continued to chew on the not-so-delicious hay and radish tassel. The wind was so gentle last night that it had a dream of spring. Before the dream was finished, it was mercilessly shattered by today’s reality. It was full of sadness and began to miss the days when the grass grew everywhere.

The morning sacrificial activity was in the depths of the cave where the tribe had taken refuge. The stone walls on the ground were damp and dripping with water droplets layer by layer. The old chanting of the priest echoed empty in the huge cave, and the ear was buzzing. .

Xi Ya Moya and seven other orcs stood behind the old priest with their heads bowed and respectful. They were all selected from the orcs who got the most prey this year, and being in that position was a great honor in itself.

The ceremony was long and complicated. Lei Jin disappeared in the crowd, silently covering his mouth and yawning, slightly straightening his waist, looking at Mo Ya who was standing at the very edge, his expression was cold, his thick eyelashes were half drooping, and he had known each other for four years. In front of people, he still looks like an indifferent and abstinent person, but he is quite attractive.

Suddenly, the old priest’s voice suddenly rose, and the following should be harmonious. Lei Jin didn’t see what was going on, and waves of prey were thrown far away.

“The whole family will be safe in the coming year.” When they came out of the cave, everyone had to recite the last sentence.

“I heard that the sacrifices thrown down before were those selected young orcs.” They were on their way down the mountain, and Roger said this out of nowhere.

“Oh.” Lei Jin rubbed the bridge of his nose and responded. He didn’t care what happened in the past, but now it’s okay. He has no interest in the **** history that Roger studied.

“Uncle Roger, don’t be frightening, it sounds cold.” Mu Ya joined them.

“Okay, let’s not talk about it, Mu Ya, come home and eat dumplings today. You have made a lot of dumplings.” Roger opened his mouth to invite.

Mu Ya hesitated for a moment, and said, “Probably not at noon. Dad wants to come over. Ah Mei has already gone home to cook ahead of time.”

Roger smiled and did not continue.

When I got home, I set up the brazier, boiled hot water and put the dumplings. The dumplings were wrapped in the morning. The mutton was served with onions, the pork was served with leeks, the mushrooms were mixed with cabbage and tofu. The meat was hand-pounded and wrapped in vegetables. Compared with the chewiness of chopping with a knife, there are also some sugar dumplings prepared for the little ones, which were shaped into various strange shapes by Mingya, which are very recognizable.

As for the dipping sauce, it’s even easier, just pat garlic and vinegar for one plate, fry some dry peppers for another plate, and stir-fry a few more dishes. It’s really not much, but Lei Jin came back and added grapefruit and Orange, the rest of the family is safe and well, what could be better. The family sat around a table and the hot dumplings were delicious.

After lunch, clean up the table, put a big bowl of peanuts, melon seeds, candied walnuts, and honey on the table, and the crowd will come.

The orcs told some interesting things about going out to hunt, the females talked about the harvest in the field this year, and Moya went to cook a steaming pot of chestnuts.

In a rare moment of leisure, Lei Jin was full of laziness, and half leaned on the waist-high windowsill. He had a special obsession with windowsills.

“Did you go to the old priest?” Suddenly, at the end of the sacrifice, he conveyed the meaning of the gods, caring for our mountains, forests and grasslands. He almost laughed out loud at that time. The gods have also advanced with the times. The entire tribe, except for Lei Jin, he can’t think of a second person who dares to use even the gods. This obviously unfair but unexpectedly practical method has always been Lei Jin’s style of doing things.

“How much the old priest likes me.” The old priest is also a sensible person, otherwise it would be impossible to cooperate. The laughter and noise of the children in the yard dilute the coldness that flashed through Lei Jin’s eyes, within the possible range He didn’t mind pulling a hand, but he had never been interested in asking people who insisted on finding their own way, but Xia and the others wanted to protect their homeland, so he helped.

“Yes, yes, everyone loves you.” As soon as the words came out, it seemed familiar, Roger flickered slightly, rubbed the charcoal in his hand, and revised a few small places on the almost completed drawing.

Orcs are aggressive by nature. At a young age, they have to compete with each other when they get together, but Bubble stayed out of the situation and did not participate in these. He only stood under the eaves with small hands in his sleeves, and looked at the grapes with a smile.

Although grapefruit and orange are softer towards their two older brothers at home, they are not the masters who suffer in the outside world. They blindly listen to their father’s earnest teachings, and once they get started, few of them can stand it. .

“After lunch, the sky will change. It should be windy. Don’t freeze the children. Let them come in and play.” Under the eaves are the wind chimes he made by himself.

“It’s alright, let them go.” Although Lei Jin also loves the children, he doesn’t want to spoil them and beat them to stay healthy.

The bonfire in the evening is the highlight, but the form is relatively simple. In the morning, the orcs around the priest lit the bonfire shelf together. Bamboo branches were put into the bonfire, and the sound was very loud. Qingshui circled the bonfire twice, and then sprinkled it on the steps of the temple, praying for a good weather next year.

Next, they drank and roasted meat, and sang and danced casually. The temperature dropped at night, and everyone was having a good time. Not many cared about it. After a long time, I simply ate some barbecue and said hello to everyone before going home.

“There may be heavy snow tomorrow.” An Luo said on the way back.

The wind picked up in the middle of the night, making the windows creak.

Lei Jin moved, and Mo Ya woke up, her eyes shining in the darkness, “Is it cold?”

“No, I just can’t sleep.” The newly made quilt is thick and warm, and there is still a lot of cotton left, and I can make a lot of things in the coming year.

Lei Jin is accustomed to sleeping naked all year round, Mo Ya stretched out his hand, the child is only a month old, and Lei Jin’s waistline is still tight and beautiful, “What did you keep watching me during the sacrifice today?” Lei Jin Jin’s fiery gaze made him struggle on the priest’s platform.

Lei Jin smiled, grabbed Mo Ya’s shoulders and pulled him closer, thinking that today is really like a reunion year.

The next morning was dark and dark, and the blizzard arrived before noon. The north wind blew up the dry grass and snowflakes.

The charcoal fire in the house is very strong, the small earthenware pot is stewed with sugar pears, the water has been boiled, and the steam is bubbling up, the grapefruit and orange are lying on the table wagging their tails and writing, twisting from one to ten like a ghost painting, Grapes pull the bubbles to show off the herbs they picked in an autumn.

And the four fathers, led by Lei Jin, were surrounded by the bedside and the people were in full swing… smoked turtles, undressed, Xiya had the worst luck, she was wrapped in the quilt, and there was only a pair of shorts left on her body, and Mo Ya was not good either. Where to go, already naked, Lei Jin is a little better, and there is still a layer of underwear left. As for Mingya, luck is so good that Lei Jin’s teeth are itchy, and he didn’t lose once.

“Nine times out of ten, it’s all useless weeds.” Lei Jin took the time to look at the four little guys, and he couldn’t be more clear about the little family of grapes.

In the last round, Xi Ya was completely defeated, the three of them rushed forward, stripped them all, and the four little ones clapped their hands and cheered.

Ah, what a fulfilling life this family has had.

It was not even evening, it was getting dark early, and the snowstorm showed no sign of stopping. The tree branches in the yard were crushed by the snow, and there was a constant clattering sound.

“The door is blocked by snow and can’t be opened.” Lei Jin tried several times, but the door remained motionless.

“I’ll try it.” Mingya drank the last sip of sugar pear water, wiped her mouth and ran over.

“Don’t move. I’ll go out the window first to shovel snow.” With Mingya’s brute force, she didn’t make a big move. In case the door was smashed, in such a snowstorm night, think about it.

Lei Jin went out through the window. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he sank half a foot. It was white outside, the snow was heavy, and the cold wind was blowing. The shovel, just after a few shovels, Lei Jin felt that something was wrong. There was something buried under the snow, and the neat rows of small flames were beating, and it seemed that something was slowly waking up.

Rao is Lei Jin, no matter how daring he is, he was frightened to take a step back by this strange sight.

One, two, three…

“What’s the matter, Lei Jin?” Mingya was worried and jumped out of the window.

“Mingya, I’m back.” A small white thing jumped up from the snow with a cheer of three o’clock flames, and went straight to Mingya, next to a slightly larger one soared into the air and flew out With one foot, the little fox rolled a few times in the air, and then fell back to the ground, splashing countless snow foam.

“Eleven of my family is ignorant.” The little white phantom fox who took the lead nodded, followed by five others of different sizes.

“Third brother.” The little fox crawled back sadly and stood at the back of the line.

The phantom fox is wild and hard to tame. The little fox always came and left when he wanted to. No one paid much attention to his whereabouts.

The forty-five-day sacrificial moon has passed, and the spring of the fifth year will come. The ice and snow melt, the migratory birds move north, and the grassland is lively again. The market has not yet arrived. The materials for the Jin family to build a house are also ready this time, and it is very fast to get started.

Ziro, Ai Wei and Mu Ya’s family who got close, needless to say, the whole family spends their time here every day. The carpenter’s own Jiahe found some familiar and good craftsmen, and the mason’s Lei Jin also played a lot. It is easy to communicate and speak, and their family has always been popular in the tribe, so many people really came.

Xiya and the others are busy with people every day, and Lei Jin has no time to spare. It is not his turn to move rocks and mud to the beams. The logistical meals are naturally prepared properly, large pieces of meat, large plates of vegetables, oil and water. Full.

This time, Roger also really paid attention. He consulted Lei Jin in advance and drew the drawings. Now he is always checking on the construction site every day. Lei Jin doesn’t fully understand what Roger said.

It took more than three months, late spring and early summer, the house was finally completed, the middle tribe market, hunting, intermittent, but also did not vacuum, Kunge and Leping came to play, but also failed to entertain them well, promised to let them come next year home.

There are seven spacious and bright rooms, and there are two side rooms on the east and west sides. There are no pigsties and chicken coops that are popular nowadays. They have already promised to take over Aiwei’s shop and have no time to raise these livestock. Let’s talk about Lei Jin And Roger’s temperament is not patient to take care of.

Of the seven rooms, except one is the main room, the other six are reserved for Anbu, one for the children, and the remaining four. Lei Jin suggested that the four of them share a room. She pursed her lips and said nothing, and Mingya didn’t hear it.

According to Lei Jin’s requirements, the windows of the house are much wider than ordinary people’s. Jiahe’s craftsmanship, fine lattice wooden frame, inlaid with clean and light-transmitting crystals, and a half-meter-wide window sill. The rooms are bright and warm. Due to the strong wind on the grassland, an openable window panel was added outside, and the floor and walls of the house were covered with wooden boards. The trees fell from the deep mountains were tall, hard, polished, and still glowing with a touch of oil, Jah. It is said that such wood will not be damaged when soaked in water. A fireway has been dug under the house, so that heating in winter will not be a problem. Originally, Roger wanted to make a fireplace in the main room, but look at the wood and wood in this room. The children at home finally gave up. The house is located on a small slope. A spacious wooden corridor is set up two feet above the ground on the south side of the house. There are some tables and chairs on it, and you can enjoy the vast grassland scenery. It is better to drink water and cool down in summer. The den where the fox family settled.

There are two rooms on the west side, one is used to store the sundries, and the other is a kitchen, but the family didn’t want to break it up. The meals are still cooked in Roger’s yard. There is only one stove here. Boil some hot water, and Roger also made a large airtight oven. He was whimsical and hoped that one day he would be blessed and bake some cakes and breads. Lei Jin thought about Roger’s craftsmanship and smiled secretly. It’s up to him to toss, it’s always good for people to have hope, and he can’t dampen their enthusiasm.

The two rooms on the east side are cleaned up, and each has a bed in it. On weekdays, I put some things in pieces, and when there are guests, it can be used as a guest room after cleaning.

Due to the soil between the house and the stream, a big hole was dug out. Xi Ya and the others took a rest later, and Lei Jin used it to grow lotus roots. The lotus seeds were sprouted early in the morning, so just transplant them in at this time.

The house has been drying for half a month, and the furniture on the Jiahe side has been completed one by one. In addition to the daily bed, table, chair, bench, and wardrobe, there are also simple chaise longues, lattices and lamp shelves for placing pearls.

When everything was done and people could live in, the summer was half over, and Lan Qi came in the middle and took away the bubble that had been away from home for half a year. Lei Jin’s pregnancy entered the end of the ninth month, and the child still did not move. The family was terrified. You must know that the orc is only eight months old, and the female is only nine months old. After Tianqi took the pulse, he only said that the child was safe, but as for how to let him out, he had no good idea. Lei Jin could eat it. He can drink and sleep, except for a bigger belly. This child is better than grapes. He has been in his belly for nearly ten months. The number of movements can be counted on one hand, and it only starts around six months. Moving, the Qing Qiao pharmacist began to wonder if it was a stillbirth.

From summer to autumn, frogs roared in the pond, and the blue color melted. The child was finally born in the tenth month. This time, Xiya and the three of them were by their side. The process went very smoothly. She was a fat man with thin silver hair. Baby, in the blink of an eye, it shrunk into a silver-white hairball. Lei Jin saw the first transformation of the little orc soberly this time, and he was quite surprised, but the baby never cried, and the pharmacist Qing Qiao was on his ass. After taking a few shots, he opened his mouth and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew he was just yawning, and his two fat claws hugged his head and fell asleep again.

He likes to eat everything. After a month, he has grown by one size. Most of the time, he is still slumbering, but he has already rolled in a decent way. Gululu rolled around everywhere, so the whole family was dispatched, and it was not uncommon to find the baby in every corner. Once he patiently and perseveringly rolled out of the bed, rolled out of the room and corridor, rolled into the yard, and almost fell into the pond. Died, fortunately, the brother of the fox family ran fast and struggled to drag it back.

Lei Jin was scared to death, so he had to find a cloth belt to tie him to his stomach. The three little guys were all curious about this little brother who could only sleep. If he had something to do, he came over and pulled his ears and bit his tail. Maybe the color of the coat Nearly, the little foxes also love him. When the weather is good, they will always carry him out to bask in the sun.

“Baby has eaten.” As soon as Lei Jin said this, he immediately turned over his belly and opened his mouth wide, wishing he could swallow the bowl.

At first, Lei Jin loved this fat dumpling who could eat and sleep. At night, he had to hold it against his chest. He had thin and soft fur with a frankincense all over his body. It doesn’t hurt. When I’m hungry or want to poop, I will stick out my wet tongue to lick my dad’s chin. Of course, most of the time I’m hungry. He’s hungry, and Lei Jin will feed him, just like this for two months. After that, the little guy got bigger and bigger. Every time Lei Jin took him out, his arms were numb, so he had to carry it instead. When the females in the tribe saw him, they were very envious and praised Lei Jin’s Four Treasures. For two months, he was bigger than other people’s six-month-old baby. Lei Jin followed him with pride for a while, even though Lei Jin had become a father for the third time, he was not that meek and docile. For the baby, he also knows that he will feed when he is hungry, sleep when he is sleepy, and if he can eat and sleep, he will be a healthy and good baby, but Roger thinks more. What kind of hidden disease, Chun Ji was shocked when he went out to collect medicine and came back to see him. Although no problem was found, it would be better to persuade Lei Jin to feed less.

In the style of Lei Jin’s naming, Roger proposed to call it Apple, which means peace in both Eastern and Western cultures. I hope that this unusual baby can grow up safely. Apple is Apple, and Lei Jin scratches the one to sleep on his shoulder. The drool-worthy fat apple, even if it has a name.

It’s not just eating less, Lei Jin thinks it’s simple, let him mess around for the first two days, and then he’ll get used to it, but Apple has been making trouble for more than half a month, and it still doesn’t stop. He’s hungry, and his mouth is open for a long time. But he couldn’t wait for the food delivered by his father. He first made a short “gul” sound, which means hungry, come and feed. If no one pays attention, he will stretch his tail straight up. , swaying from side to side, trying to attract people’s attention, when the above two all failed, his housekeeping skills came out, rolling the ball, smelling the smell, and rolling where there was someone, for this baby, Moya All the tables, chairs, benches and legs in the room have been covered with layers of hemp rope and animal skins, and thick blankets have been laid on the wooden floor.

With the door closed, Lei Jin rolled around like a spinning top with him, not afraid of losing it, and continued to lie on the windowsill with his eyes closed to enjoy the warm autumn sun. This half-meter-wide built-in windowsill was designated by Lei Jin. If he wants, he will just lie there and take a nap for a while, the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, not to mention how comfortable it is.

The apples rolled faster and faster, and Lei Jin couldn’t bear it, but he had only fed him for an hour, and for some reason, he couldn’t pet him anymore. The little orcs usually opened their doors after more than a month. Open your eyes, and then slowly you can learn to walk, the fastest is less than a month, the slowest is not more than two months, but Apple is almost three months, and she has not opened one eye, even I don’t know what color the eyes are. Although 80% of them may be azure blue like Ming Ya, but after opening his eyes, Lei Jin is ruthless and continues to ignore it.

At this moment, the door was pushed open through an inconspicuous small gap. Lei Jin deliberately pretended not to see the Phantom Fox Eleven, which was flashing in quickly, and the movement of the apple above. The sensitive Phantom Fox lived under the house. , how could they not have noticed, they feel distressed for this silver-white gluttonous baby, Eleven has a long string of white milk fruits hanging around his neck, the sharp claws specially used for hunting gently hook, and a milk fruit falls into the apple In his mouth, the peel of the milk fruit is thin and juicy, and the tender gums of the apple can be squeezed.

Just in case, there are still people taking cover on the trees outside. The crow rubbed its wings and began to grind Lei Jin again: “I want an animal skin hat. Every year the northeast wind blows me a headache, a headache.”

On the pear tree outside the window, Mingya helped the crow build a spacious and comfortable shack. The crow was going to rely on them not to leave. Lei Jin named him Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei’s good friend, the nest of swallows under the eaves. The four are collectively referred to as the little blues.

It’s been three months since the fall. Recently, Yanzi and Xiaolan are packing their things and preparing to move their family south. Crow and Xiaohei don’t want to spend the winter alone. I heard that Lei Jin and the others plan to go to the holy lake in winter. He also wants to go with him, so he I really want a cold hat.

How can there be such a smart and humanized bird, crows peck the feathers on their breasts, it’s hard not to applaud for this idea.

After Eleven finished feeding the milk fruit, he quietly withdrew as if he had come here. Apple didn’t respond, and opened his mouth again. Nothing he was looking forward to fell in. He began to scroll to find the next target.

Lei Jin took out the leather rope slingshot at his hand and gestured towards the crow’s head silently.

“Ah, cheapskate, cheapskate, I only use a big piece of your animal skin.” The crow groaned sadly, but it didn’t hinder the speed of his rapid disappearance with his tail tucked.

The pears outside the window are ripe, exuding an attractive aroma. The pears here are a little different from the modern ones. The pears here are in a string of left and right, and the ones on the left are white and sour. They can only be used to make some jam. The ones on the right are greenish, sweet and crunchy, just enough to eat. Each pear is the size of two orc fists, so the ones growing on the treetops can’t bear the weight and hang down slightly. Lei Jin sees the apples facing this way. After rolling over, he reached out, picked two green pears, rubbed them on his clothes, and bit them down with a “click”, his mouth was full of saliva. When the apple heard the movement of eating, the speed rolled over.

Lei Jin gritted his teeth angrily, why did this baby only move when he was eating.

Apple licked his father’s drooping ankle, Lei Jin continued to nibble on his pear, and when he felt that the time was almost up, he said, “Big Apple, open your eyes and show Dad.”

Lei Jin stared with one eye. After a long while, he didn’t move. He thought that he had failed again. With a slight force on his feet, he tapped his forehead to push it open. Who knew that a miracle would happen at this time. Apple’s right eyeball moved obviously. , as if trying to lift his eyelids.

Lei Jin was overjoyed, stepped down from the windowsill, grabbed a bunch of milk nuts from the pottery bowl on the table, squatted down and coaxed, “Big Apple, open your eyes, and Dad will give you something to eat.”

Apple smelled the aroma of milk fruit, raised its huge and bulky head, pouted his mouth and was about to bite, Lei Jin raised it a little higher, keeping the level that he could touch but couldn’t eat, Apple seemed to be in a hurry, “Gudu” sounded endlessly.

“Big apple, open your eyes and look at Daddy, even if you open one.”

The next moment, Lei Jin was shocked. Apple’s eyes really opened this time, but there was only one, the right eye, blood red, with a ruby-like dazzling color, which meant that Mingya’s eyes were out of control. The baby’s eyes are always crystal clear, so he can clearly see that there is no shadow of his father in his eyes at all.

“Ah…” Apple opened his mouth.

Seeing Apple’s useless appearance, the anger that was ignored by his son easily defeated Lei Jin’s fear, he threw away the milk fruit, grabbed the apple and brought it to his face, shouting: “How lazy you are, let you Open one and you open one.”

Mingya was marinating the bacon at the back of the house. She had already kneaded it, and was about to apply salt when she heard Lei Jin’s roar and knew that he was getting angry with Apple again. came in.

“What’s wrong, Lei Jin?” Mingya first picked up Lei Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and put it on the windowsill, then went to look at the apple, and he was stunned, “Baby’s eyes?”

“That’s what you saw.” Lei Jin glared at the fat apple in dismay.

Apple didn’t receive the anger from his father at all, and continued to lie on the floor without moving, with a single big ruby ​​lustrous eye flickering, looking at Lei Jin, then at Mingya, biting his own little tail, showing a hungry expression.

Mingya felt distressed. This was the baby Lei Jin gave him. No matter what it looked like, he liked it. He transformed into a beast and licked apples on the ground.

Apple may have temporarily forgotten about hunger, and was freed from his father’s hands again. He seemed very happy, and took the initiative to roll between Mingya’s two claws, rubbing his head against Mingya’s chin.

Lei Jin took the troublesome idiot father and son to do nothing, put on his shoes, went out through the window, untied the horned antelope, stepped on it, and left them at home to kiss and love each other.

“Lei Jin, don’t go too far.” Mingya chased to the window and shouted.

“Understood, look after your lazy son.” Lei Jin held the hemp rope and turned around to promise.

It is late autumn now, but the weather is warm this year. Lei Jin is still used to wearing thin clothes at home. As soon as he came out, he found that it was really cold, but he was too lazy to go back again. He ran around the grassland and felt warm on his body. Now, I feel a lot more at ease. To be honest, the days of the fat kid at the pit table have been too long, and it’s really a bit boring.

“Dad.” Grape ran over from the small wooden bridge over the stream with his small hands open.

Lei Jin bent over, lifted him up, and hugged him in front of him, “Where did you go today?”

“I went to the mountains with my daddy to collect a lot of fungus. There is a small dam in the lake, and the grass on it is yellow. You can go all the way to the small island. There are many red fruit trees on the island. The fruit falls into the water. There are little yellow raccoons that come up from the underwater cave to eat, the big daddy will catch them with a straw weave, the bones are crispy and delicious, the big daddy knows a lot of fun places, and… “…” Lei Jin smiled and looked at the grapes with a look of admiration. He said while making gestures. When it comes to playing, no one in the family can compare to Xia. He heard from Roger that he has traveled all over the mountains and valleys since he was a child. He knows every tree that has a bird’s nest on the nearby mountain, and now the children like to follow him, and they are always pleasantly surprised.

Shortly after the lotus pond was dug, Lei Jin erected two swing frames nearby. The thick hemp rope was very strong, and a wide wooden board was simply tied underneath. He didn’t have to play when he was a child. Although the conditions are poor now, he also hopes that his children can be happier. Ambu occasionally comes here for two days to play with the children.

After contacting for a long time, Lei Jin found that Anbu is actually a very careful person. Moya is really similar to him. He mentioned it once a few days ago. The board below is too simple. Lei Jin didn’t take it to heart. He always felt that the place he had chosen was a thick meadow, and it would be fine if he fell occasionally. Unexpectedly, today Anbu brought two large rattan baskets with wide mouths to replace the planks. Gao, let alone the child, Lei Jin can just sit in it and sleep.

The harvest season of another year has passed, and the cellar is full, so they built a new granary with the wood left over from building the house, which is specially used to store grain. Wheat and rice that are sun-dried in the fields are shipped back unpeeled, so they can be kept longer.

The day Apple opened his left eye, it was about a month later. It was winter. Before it was too cold, the orcs in the family decided to go to the lotus pond to dig lotus root. Jin, Roger and Anbu stayed on the corridor. The hot water on the small charcoal stove at his feet was turned on. Lei Jin made a cup of barley tea for everyone. The fried wheat naturally exudes a charming burnt aroma. . Roger and Ambu didn’t talk much, they would say something occasionally, and most of the scenes were supported by Lei Jin.

The orcs were digging lotus root for the first time. They were inexperienced. The lotus root they dug was broken, and the pieces were incomplete. They were filled with sludge. They were all eaten at home anyway. , Apple slept soundly in his arms.

“When are you going to hold the ceremony?” Roger asked while blowing on the teacup.

“This winter, tomorrow spring will do.” He was just a little worried about apples. He was lazy and greedy. He had been away for so long, and he couldn’t rest assured. Immediately after the ceremony, we have to leave for the holy lake, which takes almost two months.

“It’s better to settle this matter early, the children have us.” Ambu reassured him.

Mingya jumped up in the water, holding a lively fish in her arms. They didn’t spread the fry in the lotus pond, maybe it was flooded in by the water. Mingya smiled and called Lei Jin, and the fish threw a silver line in the sun from a distance.

Lei Jin’s attention was all on Mingya, but he didn’t pay attention to how Apple woke up. He smelled the aroma of the food in his father’s hand, so he wanted to come over to eat it, but he bumped into it stupidly, and the tea in Lei Jin’s hand turned over. , and slapped him all over his face.

“Apple.” Lei Jin hurriedly dried him with the cloth beside him, pinched his ears, and scolded, “You little idiot.” Fortunately, the tea was no longer hot after a while.

“Give it to me, go back to your room and change your clothes.” Lei Jin’s pants were also wet, and Roger got up to take the apple.

Apple rarely moved, lying on Lei Jin’s chest, licking the remaining tea in his hand.

“Don’t drink it, it’s dirty.” Lei Jin held Apple’s paw away with his left hand.

The apple twisted and twisted in his hand, Lei Jin almost couldn’t hold it, and when he saw the apple and looked at him with the red eye, he stretched out his right hand to cover it. Mingya cares about those things, but when Mingya two adults were in the temple, the impression was too tragic, and he remembered that scene as soon as he saw Apple’s red eyes.

When Lei Jin was distracted, a scene similar to a month ago happened. This time, Apple’s left eyeball moved, and when it was opened, it was a clear blue after the rain.

The left eye is azure blue and the right eye is ruby ​​red. What kind of weird combination is this?

Lei Jin paused, then hugged him and confessed affectionately: “Big Apple, Dad won’t dislike you for being defective,”

“Ah…” Apple responded with a face-lifting mouth.

Lei Jin twitched suspiciously at the corner of his mouth, threw him into Roger’s arms and went back to the house to change his clothes.

“This eye color?” Anbu looked over and looked at Apple’s two completely different eyes, hesitantly. Apple was sleeping most of the time, and it was the first time that Anbu could see Apple’s eyes clearly at such a close distance.

“A symbol of strength?” Roger took him.

“You know that too?” Ambu raised his head in surprise.

“I heard from the old priest. He told me some songs passed down from generation to generation. Snow leopards should be called blood leopards at the earliest, because they are born with a pair of blood-red eyes. The purer the red, the earlier it appears, the stronger the power. Later, the number of snow leopards in the tribe became less and less, let alone those with red eyes.”

Anbu nodded and continued: “But I always thought it was just a legend. After all, I have never seen it before. I have never seen An Luo’s eyes appear red. It seems that our baby will be very powerful in the future.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Roger is not as optimistic as he is, Mingya doesn’t have it yet. He started to show it when he was fifteen years old to save Lei Jin, but he is still stupid now.

Although he was “crippled”, Apple finally opened his eyes. Lei Jin’s hanging heart dropped a little, and he finally let go of the ceremony, and it was done this winter.
