Searching for food through the beast world

Chapter 166

Self-sufficiency is good

When Kun came back with his prey, he saw Xiaoxiao staring at the hole silly, as if he was preoccupied, with a watch in his hand. Could it be that it was damaged by the rain?This watch is very important to Xiaoxiao, and Kun immediately became nervous. "Smile, what's the matter?"

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, Ding Xiao was taken aback when he heard Kun's voice suddenly: "You're coming back so soon?"

Kun put the clean-up bared beast on the prepared big tree leaves, knelt down and asked, "Was the watch broken?"

Ding Xiao's face collapsed: "Yeah. This compass doesn't work anymore. It's the same as when I first arrived in Tianhe Village."

Kun feels particularly regretful, that compass is quite useful.Even the orcs may get lost in strange and open places when there is no stars, moon and sun.But there's nothing you can do if it's broken. "Maybe it will be fine in the future." Just like last time is the best.

Ding Xiao pulled Kun's arm, it was so warm to hug.The feeling of not wearing clothes is really not very good. Even if it is summer, even if the fire next to it is still roasting, it still cannot keep warm in all directions and three-dimensionally!The temperature in this cave is really bad. "I'm wondering, is there something that temporarily disables the compass?"

Kun didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Ding laughed and said, "Since I found out that the compass is broken, I haven't looked at it carefully. In fact, I rarely look at the watch. Maybe the compass is only in a certain place. Take a look from a farther place to see if the pointer can move normally, if it is normal at a distance, it is estimated that there must be something in this mountain and the mountain in our safe zone."

Kun took the watch: "What will it be?"

Ding laughed "hehe" and said, "Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe there are a lot of iron needs in the mountains."

When Kun heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Okay! I'll go right away! The clothes are dry, put them on quickly, it's cold in the cave."

About 10 minutes later, Kun returned excitedly. "In the distance, there is no problem with the watch!"

Ding Xiao was also excited: "Great! Then let's search carefully in the cave after dinner! Maybe we will find something big!"

So dinner became easy.There are only basic seasonings on the roasted beast meat, which makes Kun, who is more and more addicted to his appetite, a little bit lost.But when he thought that there might be a lot of iron needs here, he regained his energy.In any case, if the Yihu clan has a lot of iron needs, the lives of the clansmen will definitely improve a lot.Not only is it a hunting tool for orcs, but it is also convenient for females to make clothes and food.Of course, the benefits may not only be so many.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, the two of them ate up all the barbecue today.Although Ding Xiao had a bit of a cold, but after eating the barbecue, he boiled a big pot of ginger soup. The two of them drank two bowls each like water, and their noses were covered with sweat. This was the official end of dinner.

Wearing all three sets of clothes looks a bit useless, but the point is that the temperature in the cave is really not high.After the two made four torches, they started exploring in the cave with all their belongings on their backs.

There are many forks in this cave, and Ding Xiao used a dagger to carve marks at the entrance of each cave he walked through, so as not to get lost after walking around.This is no joke.

In fact, what Ding Xiao doesn't know is that males can release breath in this semi-sealed environment, just like dividing territories.So getting lost in this environment is very unlikely.It's just that Kun didn't tell his little friend. Seeing Xiaoxiao earnestly engraving the mark, he felt as if something was scratching and itching in his heart. "Smile, don't these stones have iron needs?"

Ding Xiao shook his head: "No. It's impossible for them to be exposed outside like last time. Maybe the iron needs are not in the cave, but deep down. Let's just take a look."

The two of them shuttled through various small holes with torches, and walked back and forth to the marked place occasionally.

In fact, Ding Xiao was still a little scared.It's not that he's afraid of the sudden appearance of monsters, monsters and beasts. Maybe it's because he's seen a lot of disaster movies in his previous life, and modern people's brain power is very strong.He was a little afraid of the cave collapse.It didn't matter in the small cave before, it was easy to escape near the door, but now they are already in the depths of the cave, what a miserable situation! (=l=)

Ding Xiao's worry is that Kun will not have it.Therefore, the thoughts of the orcs are still very simple.And it was enough for both of them to know that they were not lost.It's just that I didn't find any iron needs.Ding Xiao even scooped up his iron dagger and stuck it to the cave wall, but he didn't find any magnetic reaction.Is it still wrong?

Walking around all afternoon after eating at noon, it is really cold and dark, which means that the air circulation here is very good, otherwise Ding Xiao's small physique would have been panting.Looking at the time, it should be time for dinner. The two of them returned to the gate of the cave according to the same route. At this time, it was already dark outside.It doesn't look like the sky is going to clear up yet.

I picked up a pile of firewood outside and came back. It was very cold in the cave, but fortunately it was dry. It had rained heavily outside and was muddy and wet. Anyway, I will spend the night in the cave.

You can still find a lot of food outside the cave entrance.Ding Xiao dug five big white beans, and found some tender wild leeks.The perilla in the vicinity is extremely lush, and the leaves are not only large, but also tender.

What surprised him was that there were many mushrooms nearby, and the one that made him the happiest was the discovery of five yellow-fleshed mushrooms of astonishing size.Living in the jungle, mushrooms are indispensable from spring to autumn. Ding Xiao didn’t plan to collect many for storage, so he only picked these five yellow-fleshed mushrooms, weighed the weight, and these five mushrooms would be enough It weighed three to four catties, and one could imagine how big one was, at least much bigger than what he and Kun had picked up before.

When Kun was hunting, he didn't go far. He found the footprints of the sheep when he was hunting at that time, and the smell was not far from them, so now he easily caught a half-sized bent-horned sheep.He remembered smilingly saying that the meat of such a big sheep tasted the most tender.Although for their males, very few prey meats are tough. ╭(╯^╰)╮Ding Xiao didn’t forget to meow the prey around him when he was collecting vegetables.Unfortunately, a mountain goose became the result of his hunting.Thinking of stewing white beans with wild geese at night, and putting a little yellow meat mushroom in it, the water will come down soon.

Stir-fried mutton head meat with leeks, goose and white beans stewed with mushrooms, mutton is the protagonist of today's dinner, Dante wants to eat fried meat with a smile, he wants to try whether the yellow meat and mushrooms fried with mutton have the same taste Pleurotus eryngii is as crunchy.

Fried mutton without cumin powder is somewhat less interesting, but with the addition of yellow meat mushrooms, the rich mushroom fragrance makes the fresh and tender mutton even more charming.Ding Xiao likes it very much, and Kun naturally likes it even more.

The ingredients for dinner are all warm and warm, and Ding Xiao feels a lot better after eating.I still sneezed a few times, but there was no further development trend.A cold in summer is more painful than a cold in winter.

After dinner, Kun set up a tent in the cave.The animal skin blanket underneath had been dried by the fire long ago, and Ding Xiao felt very comfortable lying on it.

"Kun, let's walk in again tomorrow. If we don't find it, we should go back first." The day outside is really the same for a while. This is to find a cave. Otherwise, we will have to travel all night at night. The ability to sleep.

Kun nodded as he added firewood to the fire, "You're a little bit cold, you'd better go back quickly. Hurry up, and you'll be home the night after tomorrow."

"Success. Anyway, the days will be long in the future, and you can come to visit any time. By the way, Kun, if there is really a real need here, are you going to tell uncle?"

Kun thought for a while: "What do you think?" In fact, at present, for males, the difference between having these things and not having them is very slight.But it meant a lot to the half-orcs.If the arrows of bows and arrows are made of iron, the power will be quite different from that of animal bones and stones.And if these bows and arrows are used by males, even if they don't need to be transformed into beasts, if they are not particularly huge, they can kill their prey from a distance.In this way, is it really good?

After a while, Ding Xiao expressed his thoughts: "Actually, the people in my hometown also started to hunt in the jungle with forks made of stones and animal bones. At that time, people used the same tools and relied on strength. Eat with their own hunting skills. Later, there were metal weapons, like iron knives, copper knives and so on. The lethality increased, and the hierarchical differentiation between people gradually came out. Kun, in the history of orcs , How many wars have there been?"

Kun replied: "I don't know exactly how many times, but the last time was tens of thousands of years ago. There should have been other small tribes, but it is said that after that, only the large or strong tribes remained. The tribes have each occupied a territory."

"You see, there are always various conflicts between people, just like the land in our village. When we didn't know how to grow food, no one cared what a family used an extra piece of land for. But it's different now .What I can keep in my own hands is my own interests. No matter how you say everyone is a tribe, no one will let their family members go hungry enough to give food to others. People in my hometown have also experienced that from everyone owning together When there is more food in the field and people don’t have to worry about eating and drinking every day, they will naturally focus on other things. For example, how to make I have more things for myself. And the more people I have, the more I want in my heart.”

Kun frowned, listening to what Xiaoxiao said, although he felt a little uncomfortable, but he had to admit that it was the truth. "So with iron knives, bows and arrows, and hunting forks, not only will hunting become easier, but after everyone gets more food, will they have other ideas?"

Ding Xiao sat up next to Kun, and stretched out the arm of the landlord's partner: "I'm just worried that my coming here will make the changes here too fast. Everything has two sides, and if there is a good place, there will be a bad one." place. Can you guarantee that after the clansmen have sharper and harder weapons, they will not have the desire to expand their territories?"

Kun hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head.He really didn't think about it, but he knew very well that the aggressiveness of males has always been high.And after it is no longer in the category of food and clothing, perhaps making other tribes surrender will really become the next goal.

Ding Xiao sighed: "Actually, I thought about it when I got the iron needs last time. If the pace here is too fast because of my relationship, maybe I will be condemned by God. Just like me People's hometown. People have cut down countless forests for excessive exploitation of various needs. In the end, nature will retaliate against humans. Do you know about icebergs?"

Kun nodded: "There are silver sand and blue sea."

"We also have icebergs there, at the northernmost and southernmost parts of the world. Because there are fewer trees, all kinds of convenient things consume countless supplies, and then release harmful things. The sky leaks a lot. Big holes. The world began to warm up a little bit, and the climate began to be abnormal. Earthquakes, tsunamis, heavy rains, snowstorms, etc. disasters became more and more frequent. The icebergs in the north and south began to melt, and it may not take a few hundred years. Those icebergs will all melt into the seawater. Those low-lying places will be submerged by seawater, and the disaster and climate change may be even more terrifying. But I definitely won’t see that scene.” Having said that, Ding Laughed suddenly.Unknowingly, all these unnecessary things were pulled out. "Actually, what I mean is that progressing too fast is not necessarily a good thing. If you go against the sky, you will be punished by the gods."

Kun looked at Ding Xiao, and nodded after a while: "Other people will find out after that."

Ding Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. But that's the right step. It's already out of the ordinary for me to distribute all kinds of edible food to everyone. In my hometown, there is an ancient man named Shennong, who is a kind of plant. After tasting it, I will give you how to eat and grow various plants."

Kun bowed his head and kissed Xiaoxiao's forehead: "You were brought by the beast god, who bestowed you with the eyes of the sky. What you did was the divine will of the beast god. It's not against the sky."

Ding Xiao kissed Kun's lips back: "So other than eating and drinking, let other people find out. Our family can secretly use knives and scissors, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it." It is convenient. Besides, gold and silver have been discovered, and copper and iron are not far away. If one day people from other tribes also find copper and iron, let’s tell the uncle and the patriarch about it. Just lag behind others."

Stretch out your arms to hold your partner in your arms, the little guy still feels cool, this hole is really uncomfortable. "Okay. I'll listen to you."

The little wind and cold that Ding Xiao suffered under the double heat of ginger soup and mutton did not make him catch a cold completely.Of course, this is also due to Kun’s animal shape at night to keep warm. Ding Xiao slept in a big tiger’s belly with his tail in his arms, not to mention how warm he was. He was still sweating in the middle of the night, so naturally it was impossible for him to have a fever or something. up.

After dawn, neither of them mentioned the matter of searching for the need stone in the cave. After packing up their things, they cooked stewed mutton soup, ate a hasty meal, and set off.

Speeding up, the two finally returned home the next night.

After entering the courtyard door, Ding Xiao relaxed.Even in the dark, he didn't feel that his eyesight was blurry, so he wandered around the yard several times.After adding some food to the poultry at home, he looked at the melon stands and the plants in the yard. If Kun hadn't stopped him, he would have liked to lean on the wall to see what was going on in his field. I didn't see it clearly when I came back!

After returning to the house and lighting the candle lamp, Kun first lit the stove in the West House.It's really not very convenient to be outside these few days. When I come back, I have to let Xiaoxiao take a hot bath.

There is no ready-made food and drink at home, but the two of them haven't eaten their dinner yet.There is nothing left of the food on the road. Except for bacon and salted fish, the rest of the house is the ready-made vegetables in the yard. The fresh meat is those domestic animals. It is not good to make squeaking at night .So Ding Xiao decided to make do with it first.

While Ding Xiao was busy cooking salted fish and vegetable porridge, the sound of knocking on the courtyard door came from outside.Kun hurriedly went out to have a look, it turned out that Uncle Er and Uncle Qiong had come to deliver the meat!It came just in time!
