Fire Dragon Song

Chapter 57

After breakfast and lunch, Baher and Yunhuo went to help Kangding dig the cellar after they fell asleep, and Qiro also went to help.Jisang and the weak-legged Zhao Yunxiao sorted out the four big bags that Yunhuo and Baher brought back last night.Jisang and Yunxiao sat on the ground covered with animal skins and packed a big bag first.The bag was very heavy, and as soon as the bag was untied, there were large and small melons inside, as well as large and small bags wrapped in animal skins.

Jisang is used to dismantling all things first and then sorting them out, when he saw a pair of hands passing by him, picking up a big black melon.Jisang looked over and asked, "What is this?"

Zhao Yunxiao was surprised: "You don't know?"

Jisang shook his head, also surprised: "You don't know either?"

Zhao Yunxiao touched this flat melon, and his heart beat a little faster. "Jisan, give me the knife."

There was also a lot of tacit understanding between Jisang and Yunxiao, and he immediately got up to get the hardest and sharpest bone knife.Holding a knife in both hands, Zhao Yunxiao cut off a piece of black melon vigorously. When the flesh of the melon was exposed, a smile of ecstasy appeared on Zhao Yunxiao's face.

"Yunxiao, what is this?" Jisang was also infected.

Zhao Yunxiao picked up the black melon and took a bite. Although it was raw, he was sure!

"Jisang, quickly open the other bags!" Zhao Yunxiao held off first.

Jisang immediately went to open the other three big bags, and Zhao Yunxiao also opened the small animal skin bag.When all the ingredients were in front of his eyes, Zhao Yunxiao's face flushed and his body tensed.

"Yunxiao, is there something delicious again?!" Jisang asked excitedly.

Zhao Yunxiao grabbed a handful of ears of corn, with tears in his eyes: "Staple food... finally there is a staple food..." Then, he scanned a few things that were very special to him, and then he grabbed the handful of corn Sui ran out: "Yunhuo! Yunhuo!"

Da San and Xiao Xiao, who were working below, paused for a moment, then immediately got out of the cellar, turned into a beast shape, and flew home.When San San and Xiao Xiao entered the main cave, Yun Huo was caught by his partner.

"Yunhuo! You are amazing! You and Bahel are amazing! You found amazing food!"

Yunhuo thought that something happened to Yunxiao, and was startled.Seeing that his partner was very excited now, he pulled out the arm that was grabbed by his partner, and hugged his partner with his backhand: "You tell me which ones, Baher and I will pick some more."

He knew Yunhuo would say that!Zhao Yunxiao pulled Yunhuo and a few other curious people, and first showed them the ear of grain in his hand, with bright eyes: "This! I want this! The more the better! A lot!"

"Good!" Yunhuo and Baher said in unison.

Putting down the grain, Zhao Yunxiao picked up the black melon again: "And this, this is a pumpkin! I want it too!"

"it is good!"

"And this!" Putting down the black melon, Zhao Yunxiao picked up a Chinese cabbage, "I want all kinds of vegetables like this!"

"it is good!"

Then came a bunch of potatoes and a green radish: "I want these too."

"it is good!"

"The rest, you can pick as much as you can."

"it is good!"

"There's no need for fruit, Jisang and I are picking it here."

Yun Huo said: "I'll pick the ones you don't have here, don't worry, we can get them back."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"No hard work." For eating, everything is not hard!

Seeing Yunxiao finished speaking, Jisang couldn't wait to ask: "Yunxiao, what are these? How do you eat them?"

"Abba, are these delicious?" A certain little orc had already started drooling.Dad is so excited, it must be delicious.

Zhao Yunxiao patted his adopted son's head: "You may think it's not tasty, but these are the ingredients that our females need very much." Zhao Yunxiao has no pressure in the transition between a neutral person and a female.

Kang Ding's eyes are bright, Yunhuo's and Baher's eyes are bright, and Jisang's eyes are even brighter.The first two are bright because they have a female partner.And the reason why Baher is so bright... In the future, he will have a greater chance of winning in the pursuit of females!

The grain Yunhuo and the others found was rice.Zhao Yunxiao thought, where there is rice, there should be wheat, right?Modern people don't care about "primitive" agricultural planting anymore.Zhao Yunxiao doesn't know where the rice and wheat grow, but he has tablet books.After looking it up on the tablet book, Zhao Yunxiao came to a sudden realization.The conditions required for the cultivation of rice and wheat are different, but on the earth, the home of human beings, there are some areas where both rice and wheat can grow, but the sowing and growing seasons are different.But I don't know if it's the same here.

Zhao Yunxiao found pictures of wheat, barley, sorghum, corn and other grains commonly eaten by humans on the tablet book for the two to remember. There were also some pictures of beans eaten. Yunhuo and Baher looked at them carefully and kept them in their hearts. .For male orcs, the staple food is meat, but for female orcs, especially Zhao Yunxiao, a modern person, the more types of food, the better.During the period of living with Jisang, Zhao Yunxiao discovered that the females here are actually similar to neutral people, and the diversity of diet is beneficial to the health of females.

How to turn rice into rice, Zhao Yunxiao plans to think about it later, the first thing is to find a lot of rice.Then he will leave some seeds and wait until next year to find a suitable place to sow them.Ah, he missed the rice for a long time... Although he now has steamed buns that can temporarily satisfy his cravings, he eats less and less steamed buns, and if he can have flour, he can make more delicious things, so here is the best There can also be wheat.He misses the normal staple food so much.

That night, Zhao Yunxiao cooked a pot of radish stewed meat, potato roasted meat, steamed pumpkin, and fried bacon with cabbage.In his expectations, but also unexpected.Four males, plus two females, showed great interest and appetite for meaty radishes and potatoes.As for the sweet steamed pumpkin, the three adult males only ate two or three spoonfuls each, and Qi Luo ate several spoonfuls. After all, he was still a child, and Jisang loved it to death.Jisang not only likes to eat sweet steamed pumpkin, but also eats a lot of cabbage.This moist and crunchy Chinese cabbage is a favorite of Jisang.

Zhao Yunxiao also ate very satisfyingly, sweet pumpkin, crisp Chinese cabbage, noodle potatoes, soft radish... Seeing how satisfied the two were eating, Yunhuo and Baher secretly decided to eat as much as possible. Bring some back.

■

With the help of Yunhuo and Baher, the cellar was dug very fast.It took only two days to complete the two cellars, and the interior was treated with yellow mud.Yunhuo and Baher are also preparing to go to Alasan Forest to continue hunting.The night before, Zhao Yunxiao checked the luggage for Yunhuo and Baher in the main cave, mainly food, animal skin bags, hemp rope and the like.For convenience, the two of them do not bring pots and bowls that take up space, so it is best to eat or bake the food directly.Zhao Yunxiao specially prepared the braised chicken and sausage that the two requested.Zhao Yunxiao made sausages with three flavors, spicy, non-spicy and sweet.Yunhuo likes spicy food, Baher and Kangding like non-spicy food, Qi Luo and Jisang like sweet food.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the busy couple, Yunhuo said, "Yunxiao, teach me how to read when I'm done with work."

Zhao Yunxiao looked up, and Yunhuo raised the tablet book in his hand: "I want to be able to understand what's inside."

Zhao Yunxiao nodded: "Okay. Bai Yue can't go out, I'll teach you how to read."

Seeing that Yunhuo seemed to have something else to say, Zhao Yunxiao got up and walked to the bed: "What's wrong?"

Yunhuo stared at his partner, then looked down at the tablet book, the thoughtful Zhao Yunxiao immediately guessed something, he went to bed and hugged the dull looking beast, and said: "The things in this are the hard work of generations before. Come. For me, the world here is very primitive, but if we can make this primitive world develop a little faster by our own strength, wouldn’t it be more fulfilling?”

Yunhuo's body visibly shook, Zhao Yunxiao raised Yunhuo's head, and smiled softly: "Yunhuo, I'm not as powerful as you think. As a neutral person, my education is more related to my family. About, like how to take care of my partner, how to take care of my children. I can cook really good meals, I can cut the right clothes, but that’s all. Many, many things ultimately need to be done by you. As we Stove, fire wall, tables, stools, and cabinets... If you don’t understand anything in the tablet book, just ask me, and if I don’t understand, we can check it together. Maybe there are many things in it that we can’t do now. Just do what you can. No matter what you want to do, whatever you want to try, I support you."

Yunhuo's red eyes sparkled.Outside the bedroom, there was a small voice: "Abba... I want to learn too."

Zhao Yunxiao smiled: "Come in."

Chiro pushed open the door and walked in.Zhao Yunxiao waved to him, and Qi Luo trotted over and got into bed.

Yun Xiao held his adopted son in his arms and asked, "Would Qi Luo want to learn to read from Dad?"

"Yes!" Qi Luo held the phone in his hand, and he held it up, "Abba, I want to know what those cubes are inside."

"Okay, then Dad won't tell you now, after you learn how to read, you can study it yourself."

"I want to do my own research!"

Rubbing the adopted son's head, Zhao Yunxiao looked at Yunhuo: "After the fish is caught, our home classroom will officially begin."

Yunhuo embraced Yunxiao, and Qi Luo, who was nestled in his father's arms, raised his head.After a long time, Yunhuo said: "I will work hard." Try to learn Yunxiao's language, and try to learn the magical things in it.

"Abba, I will study hard too."

"Abba believes in you."

Zhao Yunxiao gave the child's father a kiss, and then gave the child a forehead kiss.

"Qi Luo, go to sleep." A certain big beast was not happy.

Qi Luo trembled, turned into a little beast and flew away.Zhao Yunxiao gave his jealous partner a comforting kiss, and continued to pack his luggage.With Yunxiao's support and encouragement, as well as Yunxiao's comfort, Yunhuo picked up the tablet book again to suppress the shock in his heart, and carefully looked at some pictures that he could understand at present.

——Rely on your own strength to make this primitive world develop a little faster...

The red eyes sank, followed by some kind of firmness.If he could do it, would those people still think he was an evil spirit, would they still think it was a misfortune for Yun Xiao to be with him?The red eyes flashed gloomy, and then became more determined.He will let those people know, he Tuzo?Yunhuo is not an evil spirit, he is a guardian, the only and only guardian of Yunxiao!

After lingering with Yunxiao all night, Yunhuo and Baher took their bags and flew away again early the next morning after eating the breakfast made by Abba.After leaving this time, both of them were more motivated.With the cellar, under the leadership of Zhao Yunxiao, the people left behind moved all the fresh fruits and vegetables stored in the warehouse to the cellar, and some fruits and vegetables that had already wilted were air-dried into dried vegetables and fruits.For this reason, Zhao Yunxiao also looked up the preservation methods of various vegetables on the tablet book.

When everyone in the rocky mountain was busy for the white moon, the tribes of the orcs also started the annual fire festival.The orc world has two most important festivals in a year.One is the "Prayer Festival" at the beginning of the moonless moon, and the other is the "Fire Festival" at the end of the yellow moon.Prayer Festival, as the name suggests, is a festival to pray for the protection of the gods.The arrival of no moon marks the coming of a new year. The orcs thank the beast god for allowing them to pass through the white moon safely, and pray to the beast god to bless the orcs to hunt more prey in the new season rotation. The female They gave birth to more pups.

The meaning of the Flame Festival is similar to that of the Prayer Festival, which is to pray that the beast gods can bless the orcs through the coming long full moon, and bless the females and cubs that are related to the continuation of the tribe.Because the white moon is followed by the moonless period when the orcs conceive their offspring, the Fire Festival is also a time for single males and females of each tribe to find a mate.At the end of the yellow moon, the orcs found their mates. If they can survive the white moon safely, they will start the new year of conception immediately.

The Flame Festival lasts for a full ten days. Single orcs in the tribe who have not found a partner will gather in a certain big tribe. Everyone sings and dances. Many single orcs will find their lifelong partners at the Flame Festival. It can be said that the flame The festival is a blind date meeting for the entire orc community.Because the white moon is long and cruel, it's okay for single males, and even if single females have family members to take care of them, they will be in various dangers due to food shortages and severe cold.After all, in the long and cold white moon, no matter how strong a male is, it is difficult for him to take care of his family on his own.

Coupled females always get more care than single females.Therefore, the Flame Festival is not only a blind date meeting, but more importantly, it allows single females to find males who can take care of themselves. First, it relieves the burden on the family of single females during the white moon period. Second, it balances resources. Third, it is the continuation of the race.

Males should choose healthy females; females should choose strong males, all for the sake of reproduction.So at the Fire Festival, single males who are strong and come from large tribes tend to win the favor of single females.Because the number of females is relatively small, basically as long as there is a female, it will be pursued by males.In order to gain the favor of females, during the Fire Festival, single young males will wear their best Eudemons costumes and use various methods to show their magnificence.The best way for males to show their majesty is to fight.Therefore, compared with the Prayer Festival, the Flame Festival is more lively and attractive.

A strong tribe means many people, more females and cubs than other tribes, and stronger males.In this orc continent, there are four most powerful orc tribes.They are the Saiwan Tribe, the Yamai Tribe, the Black Feather Tribe, and the Lokita Tribe.In addition to these four largest tribes, there are dozens of other tribes, large and small.Small tribes often depend on larger tribes in order to survive.The Bandahi tribe was originally a medium-sized tribe, and it was not attached to any large tribe.

More than ten years ago, the Bandahi tribe located by the river encountered a flood. The tribe suffered heavy casualties and had to move to the current place. Since then, the strength of the Bandahi tribe has become weaker and weaker.All the orc tribes knew that it was because their tribe had an evil spirit cursed by the beast god, which led to the decline of the Bandaxi tribe.For the four major tribes, tribes like Bandahi will not be taken seriously.Even if the big tribes want to annex the small tribes, they don't take them all. They only want the strong males and the females who can give birth to cubs. The old, weak, sick and disabled can only fend for themselves.

It's just that, recently, the four major tribes have started to pay attention to this small tribe that they don't pay attention to and will be annexed sooner or later because they heard some rumors.With the migration of animals, orcs often have to go far to hunt.It is inevitable that male orcs from several tribes will meet together.The meat and a certain kind of white sand carried by the male orcs of the Bandahi tribe during hunting attracted the attention of the four major tribes, especially the Saiwan tribe, which is the closest to the Bandahi tribe.According to the reports of the tribe, the male orcs of the Bandaxi tribe can make the meat salty with that kind of white sand, instead of using salty fruit.Most importantly, the Bandahi tribe seems to have mastered some method of preserving meat.

The white moon is a terrible time for the entire orc tribe. Even if it is the four major tribes, there is no guarantee that they will still occupy one of the four tribes after a white moon.Food is always the most important issue for orc tribes during the white moon period, and the method of preserving meat is the top priority.So how could the Bundahi tribe, who might have mastered this method, not be drawn into some kind of attention.
