"Now that everything is settled, let's go get something to eat and wait." Rhino looked at the sky. "We haven't eaten all day. Those sub-beasts probably can't take it anymore. The wandering orcs won't be so kind as to let them have enough to eat every day."
"Well, let's go hunting first. After we finish eating, shall we go and rest outside our tribe for a night?" A looked at the two and asked.
"I have no problem with that. What about Xia?"
"That's fine with me. Let's do it."
After they dispersed, the three clan leaders began to arrange for their tribesmen to go out hunting.
Seeing this, Bo also took more than ten people out hunting.
After everyone had eaten their fill, A slowly paddled into the water.
"Let's go to our tribe first."
The seriously injured orc still maintained his human form and was carried by the orcs of his own tribe.
Linghuan and his companions also climbed onto the backs of the orcs from their own tribe, and they followed the Qingshan tribe.
The Water Forest Tribe returned faster than they tracked the wandering orcs. It only took them half the time to reach the dry land where they had stayed before.
"Ah - I can finally have a good rest." Mu immediately lay down on the ground as soon as he arrived.
The time spent tracking the roving orcs kept their nerves on edge.
Now I can finally relax a little.
The little beastmen crowded around Xuan again.
They all saw Xuan's final battle, it was simply amazing! There was absolutely no orc in the tribe who could do that!
Xuan Ye was very patient and let them surround him. He lay lazily on the grass, yawned, closed his eyes and began to rest.
Have a good night's sleep.
When the day broke, all the orcs had already woken up and were just lying lazily on the ground, waiting for the chief to give orders.
A came to them again with a few tribesmen. This time they did not dive over from the water, but swam over floating on the surface.
Several sub-beasts stood on their backs, each holding an animal skin in their hands.
After Jia reached the shore, the sub-beast on his body walked to the shore and said, "Here are some clean animal skin clothes, let's change them into them." Then he handed the thing in his hand to Xia.
Xia looked down, then turned to the spirit ring and said, "Come and take it."
Hearing Xia's words, Linghuan immediately ran over and took the animal skin coat from Yashou. "Thank you." After saying that, he immediately ran back.
When the sub-beast who delivered the things saw that the things had been taken away, he did not stay for long and walked directly back to Jia's back.
Jia floated in the water, looked at Xia, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Xia, do you know medicine?"
Hearing this, Xi paused and turned to look at Xia.
Xia pondered for a moment, then called out to the little orc carrying the bag behind him, "How much medicine is left?"
"There's a little over one bag left."
Taking the animal skin bag containing medicine from the little orc, Xia walked back to Jia and Xi.
"This is the remaining medicine we have this time. We are giving it to you. Your injured orcs should have seen how to use it. But I'm sorry, we can't tell you how to find these medicines without the witch's permission."
After a pause, he continued, "If you need it in the future, you can send someone to our tribe to exchange it. However, we don't have much left. Most of what we collected before has been brought out this time, so it's best to use it when life is threatened."
"We understand. The medicine you brought this time saved many people in our tribe." A nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The knowledge of the witch is the most precious thing in a tribe.
"Your tribe has a witch?" Xi said in surprise after hearing Xia's words, and then immediately shut his mouth. The matters concerning the witch were not something that could be asked casually.
"Well, Xuan brought it back. It's staying in our tribe for now." Xia didn't continue the topic. "We should set off. We've been away from the tribe for so long, it's inevitable that we'll miss it a little."
"Hahahaha, you're worried about the people in the tribe, right?" Xi laughed heartily, and didn't ask any further questions. "In that case, Jia, let's go back."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After saying goodbye, all the orcs stood up and followed Xia Hexi in the direction they came from.
In the tribe, Meng Yuqing danced with joy as she looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes that had sprouted in the vegetable garden.
"Qiuye, Ronglin, let me tell you, these things grow fast. If we can harvest them before autumn comes, we can plant another batch, and we won't be short of food in the winter!"
Qiu Ye and Rong Lin also followed behind with delighted expressions, "Really? That's great!"
Winter is the most difficult season. After the first snow falls, wild animals become difficult to find.
The orcs could only eat as much as possible in the autumn, and catch as many wild animals as possible in the last autumn hunt closest to the snow, and bring them back alive if possible.
The temperature was already very low at that time, and the dead beasts would be processed and placed in a cold cave, where they would be kept under constant watch and eaten before they spoiled.
If they are lucky enough not to be broken when it snows, they will be taken out and buried in the snow for preservation.
Orcs also try to maintain their human form in winter, which allows them to eat less food.
The sub-beasts also need to go out in the autumn to collect wild vegetables and various fruits and store them for winter.
People die every winter.
Meng Yuqing patted their shoulders gently and said seriously, "Even if we can't catch up with the second wave of planting, I will find a way to help everyone survive the winter."
Hearing his words, Qiu Ye said with some worry, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Our tribe is already doing well. The orcs are very strong. They even survived the winter ten years ago."
