Chapter 22, Interlude: Xiaobai Eats Chili Pepper Body Heat
The little orc and the little female left after eating the mussels, while Dongjun and the others stayed to discuss with Shu Ke about going to the river bank to collect grass seeds.
"The female father said that it should be some time before the next rain, so the ones that can be collected now can also be dried, but it is a bit troublesome to remove the shells."
Shu Ke nodded. In the past two days, he also felt that it was too troublesome to use a mortar, and the time and labor it took were far beyond prediction.
"I'll think about it again. In short, take it back first, or it will fall off in a few days." Shu Ke is thinking about asking some old orcs to help make a stone mill. With a little improvement, it should be able to be used for shelling Bar.
"Okay, that's settled, let's go together tomorrow," Mujuan clapped her hands, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Keke, the female father said, don't cook when you are alone these few days. Eat it directly at our house, do you think it's okay?"
For her female father who seems to love Shu Ke very much, Mu Juan is not jealous, but more happy, as if she has a very versatile brother who can cook and hunt, it can't be better.
After thinking about it, Shu Ke agreed: "That's fine, but I'm going to trouble Uncle Dolin." After the collection was over, he went to the forest to hunt in exchange.
"No, the female father said it's not troublesome at all. In fact, it would be better if you lived in my house. We can take a bath and talk together at night."
Shu Ke smiled and patted Mujuan's head. This is really a lovely female: "Let's talk about it next time. By the way, didn't you say that you want to take the mussels back? There are also mussels in the stream behind. I will take you to touch some." .”
"Really? Good!"
Shu Ke prepared a small basket for each of them, went to the creek behind the house, told them how to look for the mussels in the soil, and then separated each of them and began to touch them in a small section.
The evening came soon, and the three happily went home with the mussels on their backs.
Shu Ke put her mussels into the empty tank, let them spit out mud, and then started to clean up the hexagonal beasts.
The hide has already been handed over to Beta, so all that's left is the head and the meat.
The peeled head looked scary at first glance. Shu Ke calmly put it into the pot, added water and boiled it directly on high heat. Because a thick firewood was lit, there was no need for Shu Ke to watch it all the time.
Meals for one person are easy to weigh. Two small handfuls of rice, two pieces of fried meat, one plate of fried vegetables, and a little leftover clam soup can completely fill one's stomach.
only……
Obviously so delicious, so warm, but there is only one person.
After two bowls of rice, the food and the soup were finished, Shu Ke opened the pot to cook the head, added some seasonings to taste, and continued to cook.
When the door was slammed, Shu Ke was about to take off her clothes to take a shower, but had no choice but to pull up her untied clothes again.His brows were frowned, and whenever this happened, he felt uncomfortable, which was probably not a good thing.
"Shu Ke, are you there?" The orc's voice was a little strange, and Shu Ke was sure that he didn't know it very well.
"Excuse me, who is it?" He didn't open the door directly, but asked directly through the door.
"Shu Ke, open the door, I still have White Fang."
Shu Ke knew Cui Bo's voice, and he was a little disgusted by it!
"Patriarch, it's so late now, let's talk about something tomorrow, not to mention letting you orcs come in at night is not good."
Cui Bo's face fluctuated, could they still do something to him, a little female?
"Patriarch, why are you still talking nonsense with him?" A middle-aged female said eagerly, her voice was full of anger, "Shu Ke, open the door for me, what did you give my Xiaobai to eat?"
noob?
Shu Ke froze for a moment, and the figure of a female cub came into his mind. Isn't Xiao Bai one of the cubs playing here this afternoon?He is still very impressed with this little female, especially spicy food.
Taking down the latch and opening the door, Shu Ke glanced at the five people who came over, Cui Bo with a calm expression, Gao Ying with gloating eyes, Bai Fang with a frowning face full of doubts, and the angry middle-aged orc and female.
"What's wrong with Xiaobai?" Shu Ke directly asked the angry female just now, but Shu Ke ignored Cui Bo who was about to speak.
"You still ask me what's wrong, what did you give Xiaobai to eat, do you still want to ask me?"
Shu Ke frowned, logically speaking, eating some river mussels is still cooked food, so nothing should happen.
"Ke Ke, I know you're angry, it's inevitable to be alone...but Xiaobai is still young—" Cui Bo said with a face of disapproval, and Shu Ke interrupted him without raising his eyes.
"The patriarch said this as if I did something to Xiaobai. I still haven't figured out what happened. Why don't the patriarch explain it first?"
"Keke, if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, just tell me, don't do anything you regret."
Shu Ke knocked on Gao Ying's eyes, this company really hit it off, unfortunately, they found the wrong partner.
"What happened to Xiaobai?"
"His mouth is swollen, and he has blood in his stool. After checking, it should be just body heat." Bai Fang said beside him. In fact, he didn't think it was a big problem, it was just body heat. Well, now he can't figure out what happened to Cui Bo and the two of them. They also had some minor problems before, and when did they become like this.
So among the people present, two were worried about their children and didn't pay attention to Cui Bo's words, one didn't want to talk to Cui Bo and Gao Ying's unreasonable troubles and splashed dirty water, and the other was White Fang, who was a little dissatisfied with Cui Bo's recent way of doing things. The plan of the two of them to make the tribe dissatisfied with Shu Ke just fell through again.
"..." Shu Ke was silent, "Is the blood in the stool serious?"
"Are you saying it's serious? Xiaobai didn't have these problems before!" The middle-aged female should be Xiaobai's henpa, looking very worried.
Shu Ke didn't blame them, as a parent, he could understand.
"Wait, I'm going to get something." Shu Ke turned around and entered the room on her own, and packed a dozen of the fruits she had just collected today.
"I didn't think about it today. After all, the cub is still young, and it's not suitable for eating too much chili. I actually forgot to stop it. Let this be compensation, sorry."
The female was taken aback, looked at the things stuffed into her hand, then looked at her partner, who nodded to him, and the female sighed: "Patriarch, let's forget about it, he——Shu Ke probably isn't on purpose."
Cui Bo's face was a little ugly, but he still showed a hypocritical smile: "Of course it's your decision, Ke Ke, you must be careful when giving things to the cubs in the future. I haven't heard of any chili peppers. Why? You can take it out and give it to the cubs at will, if it is poisonous—”
Shu Ke interrupted Cui Bo with a smile again: "What the patriarch said is that I will be more careful in the future." After a pause, "As for the chili, it is only used for cooking and there is no harm. I eat it every day. I remember Sir Sacrifice also has it, that is, the red top."
"Well, it turned out to be the red cusp. Let me tell you," Bai Fang was stunned. "It's no wonder he suddenly became hot. The red cusp isn't poisonous, but it can be used for cooking?"
"Of course, Uncle Musen and Dolin said it's delicious." All the orc females ate it, which is enough to prove that it's okay.
"So that's the case. Since the priest has said so, we will go back first. What, Shu Ke, don't blame us, it's just that Xiaobai is too worried suddenly."
"Uncle, this matter is because I didn't take care of the little female's body. It's my fault. You should be angry. I'm really sorry."
Xiaobai's beast father and female father didn't say anything, they took Shu Ke's things and left.
"Nakeke, we also—"
"It's getting late, I won't send it off." After Shu Ke finished speaking, she stepped directly into the door, closed it with a bang, and then put the latch back. Even Jiu Lianhuan fiddled with it and locked it.
Now, Cui Bo couldn't maintain his composure, and his face turned dark.
White Fang was very calm: "I'll go first, too."
With her eyes closed, she sat cross-legged in the pot, the bottom was separated by a wooden plank under her buttocks, Shu Ke held a cloth towel in her hand, and slowly wiped her body without thinking about anything, only thinking about what to collect tomorrow.
Mu Sen's family, Dong Jun's family including his orc brother Dongfeng who is said to hate Shu Ke, Cheng Zi's family, and even Beta came over in the end, but looking at his wet clothes like Mu Sen, you can tell that he has finished catching prey Just came here.
Starting today, are they officially forming a rice collection team?
Shu Ke twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Ke Ke, you just said that you want to change the method? Then how do you do it?"
Duo Lin, who was in good health, asked, and just pulled Shu Ke back when he was distracted.
Coughed: "It's like this. It takes time and effort to rub the grass seeds with your hands, and you won't be able to harvest much at that time, so I thought about it. It's better to cut off the ears, go back to dry, and roll them directly with a wooden wheel. It takes a few strokes to get them off."
Mu Juan raised her hand and asked, "Ke Ke, what is a wooden wheel?"
"Uh, it's probably a thicker log, just roll it a few times from the top. In fact, you can also make a few jacketed boards. This is more convenient. Let's see when the time comes. Let me think about it first."
"Okay, let's do this first, Ke Ke, if the basket is full, we will be responsible for sending it back. Where do you think you should let us send it back for you?"
"Uncle Mu Sen, it's okay, I can still do this, I don't need to bother you so much, and I can't get much by myself." It's enough to eat, and the grass seeds in his backyard are sprouting It's green, it's green, and it's growing very well!
"Okay then, let's go. Also, don't tell others what we are doing." Mu Sen's words made Shu Ke look sideways. He also meant this, but considering the thoughts of the people here, I didn't mention it, I didn't expect Mu Sen to have such a meaning, and looking at the reactions of other people, it seems that there is no objection.
"Keke, it's not that we don't want the rest of the tribe to know, we just postponed it for a few days." Thinking that Shu Ke disagreed, Dongjun's female father hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, I think it's good." If people don't kill themselves, if the whole tribe knows, they may not get much rice.
