Chapter 71, People on their way home
There are many dangers in the forest, no matter when, we must remain vigilant.
The orcs on the outside are the first wave of warning lines, and the orcs on the inside are resting while taking care of the people inside. It can be said that no one in the whole team is relaxed.
It has been more than four hours since we set off, and the temperature has risen a lot. There are still some boredom in the forest that is different from that of the tribe. The double feeling makes many people start to slow down.
Shu Ke frowned and looked around. Although everyone had prepared ice-cold grass for wearing in advance, the effect of being reunited would be doubled, but maybe it was because she left the tribe for the first time, and the female had cubs. We haven't talked much these few hours, the orcs are busy on guard, and they rarely talk, so the dullness of the forest stands out instead.
"It's noon, take a rest, take a nap for two hours after lunch, and then set off."
Shu Ke was about to go forward to find Beta and talk about rest, when Beta's words came from ahead, and the two thought of being together, but Beta had more mobility than Shu Ke.
To keep safe, Beta found a slightly flat and open stream bank and stopped. The orcs were still on the periphery, and this has never changed.
In addition, there are orcs who specialize in food along the way. Regardless of the size of the prey they find, no matter what it is, they will be hunted directly and let Shu Ke put it away. Therefore, there is not much food shortage. Be patient and eat more rice so you won't be hungry.
The females used the fastest speed to process the prey that Shu Ke took out, without considering factors such as heat, directly cut into pieces, added water and seasoning, and stewed on high heat.
Before departure, Beta and Shu Ke discussed it, and found a few companies to help cook the stored rice of the two companies into rice and put it in the space, so that at this time, the orcs directly use broth to make cold rice They can still eat meat, and the female, cubs, and several elderly people eat hot rice freshly cooked in a large pot.
The food demand was high, and even omitting to cook a lot of rice, it still took almost an hour.
Each held a large bamboo tube and a bamboo spoon, which were organized and made by Beta and Bai Fang according to Shu Ke's suggestion during the rainy days.
Each orc has half a bowl of cold rice, a large spoonful of broth, and a few large pieces of meat, which meet their basic physical needs, but not enough to eat; the bamboo tubes of other people are smaller, including Shu Ke. Although it is small, it still keeps them fully fed without affecting the journey in the next few days.
The orcs could bear just eating meat, but the females and cubs couldn't last for a few days. Shu Ke moved her big tank out of the system and put it on the flat ground, called the females to line up, and added some wild vegetables to them one by one.
A big tank, it looks like a lot, but considering the current speed of the team, the destination that the orcs originally arrived in five or six days must be delayed, at least ten days, three meals a day is indispensable, otherwise many people There is no strength at all to move forward.
The stew, which is equivalent to the eight-treasure dish, lost a whole layer after the first lunch was divided.
After lunch, each of them cleaned their bamboo tubes and handed them to Shu Ke, and then put them back into the system. The sun is very hot, and if you want to take a nap, you can’t stay on the shore, you can only get close to the forest with a large number of them. After the abnormal thing, they surrounded the city, and the others began to rest under the shade of the trees. After a while, they became quiet and fell asleep.
Shu Ke sat with Beta, not going to sleep.
"There's definitely not enough food. It's definitely not easy to hunt when you're a little bit inside. I want to take a few people into the woods during this time."
Beta knows Shu Ke's ability, but worry is always inevitable, "...Is it really not enough? Or, let them all take out the food."
Shu Ke gave Beta a blank look, and then looked behind her. The two walked a little farther away, so no one could hear the conversation.
"Don't bring up this question again," Shu Ke knew that people's hearts are hard to control. You can subdue them by providing them with food, but it is absolutely impossible to take things from them.
"That's it, I'll take a few people there, you stay here, pay attention to safety."
Beta smiled helplessly, "What you should pay attention to is safety, be careful." No longer objecting, he will remember firmly how much Shu Ke has done for him and how much he has considered.
Including Shu Ke, a total of six people went to the woods at the fastest speed. The goal of hunting was to have no target. They put away any edible prey they saw. Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they did not disperse. To prevent the prey from smelling their breath and fleeing, Shu Ke smeared black beans on everyone and himself, which can eliminate the smell.
Whether it was flying in the sky or running on the ground, as soon as Shu Ke saw it, he would throw out the small space blade, chop off his head or insert his heart, and he didn't care about the exclamation of the orcs next to him, and he didn't hide his strength at all.
Two hours or so is not a long time, and it is still in the afternoon, even the animals have found a shady place or returned to their nests to roost, no matter how hard Shu Ke and the others try, there are only a few prey in the end. There are only black pigs and some long-eared rabbits and the like.
When they came back, everyone woke up, and Shu Ke didn't say what he was doing, but the other orcs said it directly. When they heard that they went out to hunt for everyone while they were sleeping, many people were moved. They all said that they still have dried meat and rice at home. If there is not enough food, please take it out at any time.
Shu Ke sternly refused, affirming that the food was enough, and Beta provided a lot.
Bei Shi carried Anyue all the way. Next, Beta and Shu Ke took turns trying to help but were rejected. He is an orc, and his partner can still take care of him. Besides, Bei Shi's leg was injured, but his body was fine. faulty.
There is no persuasion, only compromise.
The sun was still hot, and even though everyone wore ice-cooling grass packets, the coolness gradually disappeared as the walking time lengthened, and everyone more or less sweated again.
Didn't stop in the afternoon, and didn't stop until after [-] o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark. This time, Beta had people pre-determined the accommodation area in front, and made safety treatment early, and hunted and killed the beasts nearby , After all, they have entered the interior of the forest. There are more and more wild animals, and safety is the top priority.
In the evening, Shu Ke distributed one or two sushi to everyone, and the females and cubs also gave fruit, but even so, when they arrived at the accommodation, many people collapsed directly, unable to get up, and some The females even developed blisters on their feet.
The situation exceeded Beta and Shu Ke's expectations. They thought that there would be difficulties, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Everything is fine, but not being able to walk becomes a big problem.
"Lance, what medicine do you have here to eliminate blisters?"
Shu Ke leaned over to Lance, and after speaking, he found that Lance's own feet were even more serious than others, not to mention anything else, just the size was not right.
"Yes, but it can't be effective immediately. You take out my medicine basket numbered one and rub it with the herbs inside. It should be helpful."
Lance was about to stand up.
Shu Ke's eyes sank, she slapped him down, and grabbed Lance's feet directly. The swollen feet held the shoe tightly, and Shu Ke pulled it off with all her strength.
The soles of the feet were red and swollen, and there were blisters around the soles of the feet. In one place, there were even signs of broken skin, and some blood stains were dried around.
"...Why don't you say it?"
White Fang was an orc and took care of other people along the way, but he didn't feel much. But as a female, Lance was still a person who didn't travel far and walked through pits. He soon realized his situation, but he didn't want to drag him down. For other people, the responsibility of the priest made him still run in the crowd. Whoever has symptoms of discomfort, he will go wherever. When others walk 100 meters, he may walk 150 meters, because he has to walk back and forth in the crowd.
"...It's nothing, I'll just apply some medicine later."
Lance turned his eyes away in embarrassment, sighing secretly that he was much worse than Shu Ke.
"..."
Shu Ke took out the medicine basket that Lance asked for, and after being identified by the system as a symptomatic herb, she took out one directly, put it in her hand, kneaded it back and forth into grass mud, and then applied it on Lance's feet.
"Sit down and don't move around. You should be better tomorrow." Seeing Lance's anxious face, Shu Ke sighed, "I'll go and give them medicine, be obedient, take a good rest, and dinner will be ready later , I'll bring it to you."
Shu Ke looked around and found that Lance's family members were looking at them worriedly. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Ever since Lance became a priest, there has been a distance between the family members.
In Lance's exclamation, Shu Ke picked him up and put him directly on the side of his family. Faced with the other party's thanks, Shu Ke just smiled, "Lance's foot is injured, your 'family' is Take a good rest first, uncle is optimistic about him, don't let him get up."
Lance, who was forced to lie on the animal skin by Shu Ke, had red eyes.
Bai Fang, who was discussing with Beta the candidates for the night watch, saw this scene, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, becoming a priest, although it's good, but being in awe of the beast gods would also make his family alienate them. no.
but……
Looking at Shu Ke who was going to apply medicine to the females, Bai Fang couldn't help laughing, ten days' journey was not much, but it was enough to hone the unity and friendship of a new tribe.
