Primitive Orc 34 Resting at Dawn
While Xie Yunsui and Hu Jiao were discussing what to bring to the market, Xier had already greeted everyone he knew. Just as he was about to return to look for Xie Yunsui, he saw a few cubs staggering back from outside the valley.
Leading the group was a little fox cub, carrying a small bamboo basket on his back and holding a string of small flowers in his hand.
Behind him were eagle-orc cubs, some in human form, some in beast form. It was probably because the transition between the two forms was not stable yet. The beast-form ones were not flying, but walking forward on two legs, looking weird.
"Little foxes~Where have you been playing?" Xier changed into a beast form, and the big white tiger suddenly jumped in front of the fox cubs.
There are no recreational activities during the snow season, so Xier likes to play like this with the cubs.
At that time, the little fox cubs and the eagle-beast cubs of Yusheng's family were still very small. When Xier suddenly jumped out, they would be scared and their fur would stand on end. It was super fun.
Several eagle beastmen were so frightened that their feet/claws left the ground, but the little fox did not move.
The little fox cub looked at Xier calmly and said, "Xier, I won't be scared anymore."
Xi immediately pressed his left foot against his right foot awkwardly, then changed his posture and said, "I just came to say hello..."
"I just saw Langfeng outside and knew you were back. I guessed you were coming to scare me." The little fox cub gave him a small white flower. "I saw this on a small hillside outside the valley. There are a few trees there. These flowers are blooming on the trees. I'm giving it to you."
The eagle-orc cubs really liked Xier, and several of them came up and rubbed against him.
They have envied the strong and powerful orcs since they were young, and have always had a kind of admiration for Xier.
But after saying hello, he still followed the little fox cub.
The little fox cub is Hu Jiao's orc child, named Zhou Li. When he first came to the valley, he was very timid and introverted, and his presence was even weaker than that of his father Li Ya.
Later, he played with the eagle-beast cubs from the Yusheng family, and his temperament gradually became more cheerful.
Now that the sub-humans from the Black Hawk tribe came to study, the cubs had nowhere to go, so they were brought here and kept under their watchful eyes. Zhou Li started playing with them again.
Born with intelligence, he soon became the leader of a group of cubs.
The cubs have no work requirements, but they are influenced by their surroundings and have to do something. A small amount of work is a form of entertainment.
So Zhou Li carried a small backpack made for him by Am and took a group of naughty kids to collect grass leaves in the valley.
Every inch of land in the valley was trampled by them. After picking the grass leaves, they would first give them to the long-tailed beast to determine whether they were poisonous or not. If they were not poisonous, they would give them to the adults to see if they were edible and whether they tasted good.
Whenever they discovered a delicious grass leaf that they had never eaten before, Zhou Li and the cubs would be praised by the adults.
Gradually, Zhou Li took his younger brothers to explore outside the valley.
Outside the valley, there were adults working everywhere. As long as they didn't walk too far, the lions working nearby or the eagle beastmen flying in the sky would be able to hear them if they roared.
Zhou Li's exploration journey was going smoothly, and he had already explored a large area outside the valley entrance.
Today he and his friends explored a little further and kept finding many young saplings. They were reluctant to pinch off the branches and leaves, hoping that they would grow taller. But on a small hillside, they found a few fruit trees that were tall enough. The fruit trees were full of small white flowers, so they picked some and brought them back.
Xier pinched the small white flower, sniffed it with a smile, and turned back to chase Zhou Li: "Little fox, I want to pick more of these flowers. Can you take me with you?"
Zhou Li shook his head: "It's too far, I can't walk anymore."
"I'll carry you." Xi'er said.
Zhou Li looked at Xier and suddenly realized: "You want to send flowers to Priest Yun?"
Xier smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Okay then, but don't you want to tell Priest Cloud about this, in case he wants to talk to you about something?"
Zhou Li still remembers that Priest Yun and Xier were very close and liked to stick together when doing anything.
After finishing the communication with Hu Jiao, Xie Yunsui gave himself a short half-day break.
Back to my own cave, it was cool and damp.
Xier didn't know where he went, so Xie Yunsui lit a fire to warm the room and dehumidify.
It’s not good to live in a cave all the time. Now that we don’t have to worry about food and drink, it’s time to improve our living environment.
He silently calculated the current number of people in the valley, but always felt that it was not enough.
He was just thinking about whether to build a house in the valley or outside when Xier rushed in. "You're here? The little fox cub just told me that there are a lot of new trees and grass growing outside the valley, as well as beautiful flowers. They're on a small hillside. I'm going to go out with him to take a look."
"A small hill?" Xie Yunsui's thoughts were interrupted. He felt a little familiar. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember what it was, so he said, "I'll go with you. I want to take a look too."
On the first day of the thaw season, he and Sill went out on a date, and he scattered a lot of seeds in the open space around the valley.
Two months have passed, and it's time to see how many of those seeds have adapted to this world.
Xie Yunsui followed Xi'er out again, with a little fox sitting in front of him. Shi Yan passed by and asked, "Priest Yun, where are you going?"
Then he followed silently.
Yu Sheng came to pick up his partner and saw Xie Yunsui leaving. He flew down and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
After hearing the answer, I followed behind unconsciously.
On the way, they met the wolf beastmen who were coming to pick up the Charcoal Team. Without asking any questions, they turned around and followed Xier.
Xier: “…” No, why are they all following me?
Everyone: What little white flower is this that Priest Cloud made such a special trip? We want to see it too.
Xie Yunsui didn't think too much about it, thinking that everyone just wanted to take a walk after work (?). He just sighed inwardly when he saw that the familiar seedlings did not grow in the places he had marked.
When he reached the familiar hillside and saw a few apple trees growing there, he raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Growing so fast!
It is worthy of being the spiritual Orc Continent. One ice melting season is equivalent to one year's growing season in other worlds.
No wonder there is no shortage of food during the thaw season, and the berries that have just been picked are still lush the next day.
This growth period is really enviable.
Xie Yunsui stopped Xier's eager claws and said to everyone, "This is an apple tree. Each flower is an apple. Apples are very delicious fruits."
Zhou Li looked at the small branch in his hand, on which were several small white flowers, and was stunned for a moment.
Xie Yunsui smiled and patted his head: "It's okay, just be careful next time."
Zhou Li thought: "Priest Yun, can we plant this tree in the valley?"
"sure."
Xie Yunsui had scattered seeds in the wild just to select seeds that could adapt to this world. Now that he had discovered that apple seeds could adapt, the next step would definitely be large-scale planting in the valley.
On a whim, he said to Xi'er, "Before it gets dark, let's go a little further and see if there's any fresh grass, leaves, or fruits."
Zhou Li said, "I know! Grandpa Zuyang taught me which grasses and fruits I can eat. I also saw many different ones and took them back to Grandpa Zuyang to identify them. Some of them are edible, and I know where they are."
Zhou Li is like a living map of the valley. He knows exactly which foods are commonly eaten around here and which are new varieties.
Only then did everyone realize that the little fox cub had actually done something so extraordinary without realizing it.
Thanks to the high-speed running of several orc elders, Zhou Li finished the distance that would have taken him half a day to walk in a flash.
Xie Yunsui relied on his memory and black technology to cheat and found a lot of good things.
Garlic sprouts, chili peppers, and fennel have survived tenaciously and have mutated to a certain extent, becoming "bigger". I wonder if this can be considered a happy event.
The potatoes lived up to his expectations. They not only grew big but also grew very densely. The ground where they grew was full of potatoes, just like the sweet potatoes eaten during the snowy season.
What surprised Xie Yunsui even more was that the corn also survived!
With potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, he can ensure that no one will starve to death during every snow season.
He immediately asked everyone to dig up the soil and find a piece of field to plant the seeds first, and then take good care of it.
In the evening, Xier washed his face obediently, and then washed his body with water as Xie Yunsui taught him, and then he fell asleep happily next to Xie Yunsui.
He tilted his head and saw the unconcealed smile on Xie Yunsui's lips: "Are you very happy?"
Xie Yunsui put his arm around his waist and said with a smile, "Well, today's discovery really surprised me."
"You mean that..." Xier thought for a moment: "potatoes, fish and rice?"
"It's corn, like jade..." Xie Yunsui thought of the rice and wheat that he hadn't adapted to, and his eyes fell for a moment. "Rice is a very delicious food."
"Is it better than sweet potatoes and radishes?" Xier became serious when he heard that it was delicious.
If Yun Sui says it’s delicious, then it must be very delicious.
Refer to the crispy dried fish that he still remembers to this day.
"I haven't seen it around the valley. Maybe it's growing somewhere in the western continent. When I find it, I'll definitely let you taste it."
"Okay~"
Xi'er moved towards him, and the two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Xier's heart suddenly became confused.
He knew that Yun Sui really liked to kiss him. Normally, no matter whether he was in animal form or human form, he would always get a kiss no matter what he did.
But the kind of kissing that is surrounded by many people and comes whenever and wherever you want is like caressing, it never hits the right spot.
He recalled the flower-scented kiss at the foot of the cliff. The feeling of being invaded made his scalp tingle. It was more exciting than fighting a hundred battles.
Why didn't Yun Sui use this kind of kiss to kiss him afterwards?
Today’s flowers were not delivered. Why do the flowers outside always turn into fruits or edible things? Are there no pure flowers?
Xier's eyes moved to Xie Yunsui's lips. He knew how soft they were.
Even without flowers...he should still give me a kiss, right?
We are partners!
Although the contract has not been signed yet, it will be signed soon!
While Xier was still struggling with his thoughts, he saw his partner lick his lips lightly. As the flames flickered, he felt as if his body was suddenly on fire, making him dizzy.
The young little tiger stood up and nudged Xie Yunsui impatiently.
"Sir?"
A gentle and magnetic voice sounded in Xier's ears, and his ears trembled as if they were electrocuted. He tried his best to conceal his unusual reaction.
Little did he know that his disrupted breathing had already exposed him, and the way he tried hard to cover it up made him even more adorable. Xie Yunsui admired him very much before reaching out his hand.
The brief contact immediately made Xier open his eyes wide and even stopped breathing.
"Idiot." Xie Yunsui kissed him and whispered, "Don't suffocate yourself."
Xier hugged him tightly and begged in a hoarse voice.
"want to……"
The temperature in the cave gradually rose, but it was raining outside.
The sound of fine rain hitting the mountain walls and the ground covered up all other sounds.
Rest in the morning.
