Group travel
Just as Kun expected, Ding Xiao felt that the bone nail was not easy to master, so Mr. Wen was not unhappy when he wanted to practice flying knives, but took the flying knives with great interest and tried it.
The result made him even more satisfied. "This throwing knife can be used directly to hunt prey after practice. You have many ideas. Although the technique is different, the way of using force is not too different. You can practice this, and I will do it after finishing the bow and arrow. Try it a few times. Maybe we orcs will be able to hunt bigger animals soon." Weighing the throwing knife in his hand, Mr. Wen felt both emotional and fond.Sure enough, as the priest said, Ding Xiao is definitely the one bestowed by the beast god and brought them blessings!
Ding Xiao was immediately happy when he received Master's praise and approval.These are two completely different feelings from the praise of my father and Kun.This is related to my future "Kung Fu". "Then I will practice every day, and please check and accept the results after I can attend class!"
Wen smiled and nodded: "Okay. I have nothing to say then."
Ding Xiao pulled up his waist: "Of course! Although you may not be able to hit the prey, you must make a breakthrough in accuracy."
Wen Dao: "Your eyesight has always been very good. As long as you have a good grasp of the direction and accuracy, I am not worried. But your strength needs more training."
Ding Xiao sighed: "Actually, I am much stronger now than when I first came to our village, but how can I be more energetic?"
Mr. Wen can still give him and Kun a different answer to this question. "Strength can also be developed. Since you are not born with great strength, eating and drinking is useless. It is best to practice with heavy things every day."
Isn't that like carrying a stone lock and a bucket?It feels... so hard.Ding Xiao felt that he had to do a good job of psychological preparation before making a decision. "You can try this one. By the way, Mr. Wen, how is the bow?"
Wen replied: "The animal's tendons are being soaked in grass juice, and we will know whether it will work or not in the day after tomorrow. But the large body of the bow has already been made. Let's see how it goes." Wen went into his bedroom after speaking, and from inside He took out a bow and handed it to Ding Xiao.
After receiving the bow, Ding Xiao's arms and body sank down.The weight is so generous that it is made of hardwood! "This looks really majestic!" I just don't know if the bow will be flexible after the string is wound.If not, the effect will be much worse.How exactly, though, will vary from person to person.Anyway, if I use it myself, I will definitely not choose hardwood. The key is that the size of this bow is too big for me, so I have to reduce it by at least three sizes.Sure enough, even if he grew up again, he would still be a dwarf? !But it was clear that his head was not bad before! !
"After it's done, I'll take the eight of you to practice together." Always my disciples are good, this is the ultimate definition in Mr. Wen's heart!
There has been no bonfire feast in the village for several months.The last time was the first day the market opened.
The males who were able to successfully become the first batch of "drivers" of the passenger car were full of energy tonight, as if their daughter-in-law had arrived, and they could laugh for a long time at everything they saw.
Of course, the males who are qualified for this job are all single youths who are above 70 years old and below [-] years old.Young and energetic, with great strength and strong hunting ability.In addition to using them to pull the car, it will not be strenuous, and the safety of the people on the car can also be guaranteed.And for the sake of safety, after discussing with Peng Jia, the priest decided to equip a car with two males, one to be the bodyguard and the other to pull the cart.Of course, this comes in turns, and no one is at a disadvantage and no one can take advantage of it.
So six carts have a "driver team" composed of twelve males. Today these protagonists enjoy quite good treatment. Not only can they eat and drink at the same fire with the village chief and patrol captains, but they can also get to know the village by the way. Is there any female and half-orc in Li who likes her?
It should be said that the male character of the beast world is generally very straightforward, sometimes even too direct.So not everyone can find out that someone is secretly in love with him like Yiquan.And this time is indeed a good opportunity.Everyone knows what these males are fighting for the chance to be a driver, so an orc or female who has a crush on one of them must be anxious.
With this opportunity to "gossip", Luxi and the others got together from the very beginning, spreading all kinds of JQ knowledge to Ding Xiao, while stuffing meat into their mouths happily.
Kun is sitting next to Xiaoxiao, but the chances to talk to his partner are rare.In the past, when these guys saw me glaring at them, they could still think about what to do, but this time when they came back from going out, they were all different. No matter how sullen they were, these people just surrounded Xiaoxiao and didn't leave.Although Uncle Joan is right, it is a great thing for Xiaoxiao to have friends.But it is obviously a family with a bonfire, why do these guys never leave?
In fact, Brother Kun is not the only one who has such "resentment".Guys like peak and shingle are pretty bummed too.Could it be that "gossip" is really more important than cuddling with your partner?Although they don't particularly understand the word gossip, it probably means gossip, right?At this time, they all envied Gray Tiger very much.Although this guy hasn't had any substantial relationship with Seven yet... Well, it can be said that there is no progress in human contact.But the cub Qi is not like their prospective partner, he just surrounds the gray tiger, what is that appearance called... yes!Ding laughed and said that it was called "Little Birds Follow People".Although they don't think there is any comparison between a living person and a bird, envy, jealousy and hatred are inevitable!
So, adhering to the principle that I'm not good at being a brother, you don't have to think about it, Muwa and Ming ignored the sorrow and condemnation on Cub Seven's face, and directly pulled Gray Tiger to their bonfire.The reason is: "You can't leave the organization!" Don't have any doubts, Ding Xiao explained the word "organization" to them in detail.
Since this group of friends got together, tomorrow's trip to the lotus pond was naturally decided soon.
Minghe Yiquan and Gray Tiger are members of the patrol team tomorrow, so it is destined that Si, Cai and Qi cannot participate in this activity.Although regrettable, the three did not complain to their partners.It's just that when I heard that I would spend the night by the lotus pond and then come back, I couldn't help being envious.Fortunately, Ding Xiao said that he could go there again in a few days, and the three of them were balanced.
Of course there are people who are more unhappy than the three of them.That is Lian Zhimei.Although she and Shizhong have established a quasi-partner relationship, females cannot "cohabit" with males like half-orcs before they are minors, and there is no saying that they will live together with their offspring.Besides, Lianzhi is only 22 years old, and he is still eight years away from becoming an adult. It doesn't matter if Shi Zhong is first-class. Here, males wait for females and half-orcs have a dozen, 20, or even 80 years.But he couldn't take the underage female alone away from the village to spend the night outside!
So Lianzhi was very angry: "You guys are too bullying! Why do you want to stay overnight! It's not like you can't come back for a day!"
Muwa's face was full of embarrassment: "The little female should stay in the village well." Humph, if I were a guarantee, I wouldn't be able to hug Xiao Jingjing at night! (BS you to death)
Jing's current relationship with Lianzhi's sister paper can be called a "good sister", so he was not happy with Muwa's face, turned his head and said to Lianzhi: "Don't listen to your brother. We will take care of you when we come back. food."
Seeing that his little friend was completely unhappy, Shi Zhong felt uncomfortable.These good brothers now all live alone with their partners, and those who build houses build houses, but they can't even go outside to play overnight.Alas, I obviously don't know how to do anything, and I am reluctant to do anything!But when I was depressed, my mind suddenly became better. "Even if you don't feel happy, we'll go too. At worst, we'll come back at night. Living in the wild is full of mosquitoes, isn't that what you're most afraid of?"
Lian Yi immediately laughed when he heard it: "You are the best, I hate goths!"
Muwa had an "injured" expression on his face, and he held Jing's face and asked for comfort: "Jing~~~!"
Cub Jing rolled his eyes at him, and then stuffed the chicken leg into Muwa's mouth: "You don't need to talk anymore after eating!" Even his own sister can't be cured, his partner is really imposing!Still... pretty cute.hey-hey.
Early the next morning, the four couples gathered at the entrance of the village, and unexpectedly saw Hei Yi and Dong Yi.
Seeing the big guy staring straight at the two of them, Dongyi coughed dryly twice, and solemnly declared: "I, I let him carry me because I wanted to dig lotus roots!"
Ding Xiao and these guys let out a long "Oh~~~!"
Hei Yi hurried up to "protect" Dong Yi: "You guys can do it, I managed to get to this day, it's not easy!"
In fact, Ding Xiao felt that this guy came here to "confess" on purpose.But it's not bad, although Dong Yi has always rejected Hei Yi's pursuit, Ding Xiao knows that goodwill does not exist.It's just that Hei Yi has a fierce and violent appearance, so Dong Yi should have more tests. "Okay, we're all happy for you. Hurry up, the form doesn't wait for anyone, hurry up and get to work. I'll teach you how to dry lotus root slices when I come back this time. I'll guarantee you something new to eat at night!"
Sure enough, "eating" is the easiest topic to resolve embarrassment in front of these people.After transforming, several males carried their partners or sweethearts on their backs and ran wildly all the way, and soon arrived at the lake where they dug lotus roots last time.
When I came last year, the lake was full of residual lotus, and it looked very depressed.But this time it was very different, it was the season when the lotus was in full bloom, and as soon as they got close to the water, everyone could smell a light fragrance, of course, there was also the fragrance of the surrounding vegetation.
Looking at the lotus in front of him, Lianzhi was the most excited.Although the ground is full of flowers, it is not a rare sight for the animal world, and it is not the first time she has seen lotus, but she has never seen such a magnificent sight.He hadn't been to this place in the summer before.There are very few females who can hunt, so there are not many females who can go to the depths of the safe zone to act alone.What's more, Lianzhi is still an underage cub, and he also knows that it is impossible for Muwa to take his younger sister to go sightseeing in the safe area without incident.
"These lotus flowers are just...too...too, so what!" Unable to find the right words, Jing could only say this with excitement.
Ding Xiao was amused, but he didn't correct his lack of words: "The lotus root is the root of these lotus flowers. It should be the time to pick it now. When you go down to dig later, take it easy and don't break it." .You don’t need to pick too much, the flowers, lotus pods and leaves are harvested together. They are all useful.”
Because of the company of this group of males, apart from Lianzhi who could only go up and slap the water surface with his feet while sitting on the shore, Ding Xiao led Hejing, Luxi and Dongyi to get off in shorts and shorts. water.The males are digging lotus roots, while they are catching fish and playing with water.
After a while, Lian Zhimei stopped doing it, and seeing the big guys having fun in the water, she didn't care about her pants, and went straight into the water. "Brother Xiaoxiao, teach me how to insert fish!"
Jing quickly handed over his hunting fork: "Come on, let me borrow this for you. Let me tell you, although the fish is not easy to insert, it is very fun!" However, since learning from Mr. Wen, the strength and accuracy are both It has improved, and now he can occasionally insert one or two.It's much better than before when I could only look at Ding Xiao with emotion.
A group of half-grown "cubs" don't have as many taboos and talks as the elders.Even if you want to play, you can play, the water is not cold this season.Ding Xiao weighed the hunting fork in his hand: "Look, if you want to hold it like this, you must stand firm on your feet. When you spot the fish, you must pay attention to where it is going to swim, and then use the fastest speed Plug it in. Try it."
Lian Zhi followed Ding Xiao's teaching with a decent face.As a result, she really got something when she inserted it, but she didn't penetrate the prey's body.Of course, if she had the strength to pierce a hunting fork into a clam shell, she would be the strongest female in Hecun that day.
Because they accidentally found a clam the size of a palm, the big guy's interest changed from catching fish to muddying.To Ding Xiao's surprise, in addition to mussels, they also found a lot of snails in shaded places.
In the previous life, many rivers were polluted and snails were prone to parasites, so my father rarely bought this food.But Ding Xiao himself likes to eat stir-fried snails. Although it is quite difficult to pick out a little bit of snail meat in front with a toothpick one by one, and his hands are greasy and dirty, the feeling is similar to eating melon seeds , those who like it will enjoy it.
Field snails are naturally available wherever there is water, but none of the orcs have ever thought of eating such a small thing.But when Ding Xiao said it was delicious, everyone instinctively salivated.Looking at the inexplicably warm eyes of these people, the corners of Ding Xiao's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "If you want to eat, just wash them one by one, otherwise it will smell like mud and your teeth will be gritty."
Now Lianzhi has something to do, surrounded by piles of snails and a clean clay pot.She sat on the grass by the river, with both legs soaked in the water, just washing the snails one by one.
Seeing that his little friend's pants were soaked, Shizhong hurriedly put the lotus root on the bank and came over: "I'll go and light the fire, it's so cold to put your legs in the water!"
Lian Zhi glanced at it: "Try it yourself, how could the water be cold!"
Ding Xiao couldn't stand it anymore: "You still care about things when you come out to play, and Lianzhi is not a little cub, so I don't know if it's cold or not?"
Shi Zhong dared not offend everyone's baby companion, food provider for his group.But he still couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "You are all little cubs."
But Brother Kun was not willing to listen to this sentence, and explained it to Shi Zhong very solemnly: "Xiaoxiao is a cub, but not a little cub!"
Several half-orc cubs and the only female cub didn't quite understand the meaning, but the remaining males and Ding Xiao knew it well.But in order not to embarrass himself even more, he absolutely kept his mouth shut. The more you talk about Kun, the more embarrassing he is! !
