Chapter 71
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao." The quiet voice of my little friend Hu You was heard outside the yard.
There was a heavy rainstorm in the desert a few days ago. After the rainstorm ended, the riverbed outside the deserted city, which had been dry for who knows how many years, suddenly had water.
I heard from the big beastmen that the river is very clear and the ripples sparkle in the sun, which is very beautiful.
During this period, because more and more foreign tribes came to the wasteland from various places, the little orcs who were forbidden to go out to dig bitter roots were very eager to make a move.
The tribe prohibited the old and young orcs from going out to dig bitter roots, and instead organized a team of young orcs who were about to reach adulthood and had certain self-protection abilities and could run fast to dig bitter roots to supplement their food.
I was already eager to try it, and I kept listening to the young orcs describe how beautiful the river was after they came back.
The little beastmen like Hu You, who had never seen a river before, couldn't help it. After thinking for a long time, they suddenly had an idea and came to find Jiaojiao.
Because if the little gods want to go, the orcs in the tribe will not only not stop them, but will also send strong orcs to protect them.
In the yard, Jiaojiao, who was squatting on the ground watering the flowers with a small bucket, moved her furry ears.
After hearing clearly that it was his friends calling him, Jiaojiao turned his head to look at his father who had just walked into the kitchen. He dropped the small wooden ladle in his hand, stood up, and ran over with his short legs to grab his father's robe: "Dad, let's go out and play."
Hesnemen, who was about to research a new dessert, looked down at Jiaojiao's bright and expectant eyes. Reluctantly, he squatted down and poked his chubby little face. His gentle voice was filled with a smile: "Why are you getting more and more clingy?"
Jiaojiao pursed her lips happily, stood on tiptoe, and rubbed her recently chubby face against her father's face. She said in a sweet voice, "Because Jiaojiao wants to be with Daddy."
Hesniemen's heart softened from the joy of his success. He picked up Jiaojiao, tossed her up, and caught her again. "Tell me, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go outside and play with Hu You and the others." Jiao Jiao seemed to remember something and said, "And we need to carry the beautiful little backpack."
"Okay." Hesnemen carried him into the house, took out a small backpack woven from bamboo strips and asked Jiaojiao to carry it. He also picked two beautiful little golden flowers and pinned them on the backpack.
At this time, Hu You and his friends, who were waiting for their friends outside the yard with their big teeth bared, didn't know that their little god friend not only came by himself, but also brought a big god with him.
"Hu Youyou, Jiaojiao is here." When Jiaojiao came out, she shouted in a baby voice, carrying a small backpack and holding her father's robe, and stepped over the threshold of the courtyard with her short legs.
Upon hearing Jiaojiao's voice, Hu You and the others looked up with joy, but the joy on their faces froze visibly when they saw the Lord God behind Jiaojiao. After realizing what was happening, they saluted awkwardly, "Greetings, Lord God."
Hesnemen nodded slightly and looked at them: "Where are you planning to go?"
"?" Hu You and the others blinked in confusion.
"Dad asked us where we were going to play?" Seeing that the little friends were stunned and didn't understand, Jiaojiao helped her father repeat it.
"Oh, let's go, go play in the river outside the deserted city that suddenly has water." Hu You and the others said a little panicked after they reacted.
Along the way, Hu You and other little beastmen were very restrained, but their restraint was dispelled by excessive surprise when they saw the wasteland in front of them gradually becoming different from their memories.
Green grass appeared sporadically on the wasteland where there was once no sign of life. Water reappeared on the once dry riverbed, but the shallow water could not be called a river. If you had to call it that, it could only be called a pool.
The morning sunlight shone on the lake water, creating ripples that looked like a pile of tiny gems falling on a barren wasteland.
The little beastmen, who had never seen such a large area of water, stood up their ears excitedly. After they came to their senses, they howled and ran towards the water.
Infected by them, Jiaojiao also came down from her father's arms, whimpering in her baby voice and running towards the water with her short legs.
The little beastmen who ran to the water's edge stopped, stood carefully by the water's edge, and kept looking into the water.
Orcs who grew up in the orc tribe have a strange excitement when they see water, because in their memory, water is a very precious thing.
Among them were the little orc’s father and mother, who died on the way to transport water to the North River.
So in the minds of the little beastmen, water is very precious, more precious than life!
Jiaojiao, who was running along with a small backpack on her back, followed their example and stood on tiptoe to look into the water. When she found nothing in the water, she tilted her head in confusion, looked back at her father and said, "There are no fish."
In the stories my father told me, there were fish in the water.
Hesnemen, who came up from behind, lowered his eyes to glance at the shallow puddle in front of him, bent down and rubbed Jiaojiao's furry ears: "It will be there soon."
The moment these words were spoken, a rumbling sound came from afar, like thunder rolling, or like thousands of beasts galloping, and even the ground began to tremble slightly.
The little orcs such as Hu You and the orcs responsible for vigilance and protection looked in the direction of the sound, and were immediately shocked by the scene before them and opened their mouths in amazement.
I saw the mountains in the distance tilting, the earth cracking, and hundreds of feet of waves rushing down from the mountains, like a waterfall hanging in the air, roaring for thousands of miles.
The surging waves crashed onto the ground, surging along the gully toward the dry riverbed in the wasteland. The pool of water before them was instantly swallowed by the rushing river. The high waves directly knocked Hu You and the other small orcs over. If the big orcs hadn't been quick to catch them, they might have been swept away by the surging river.
When all the noise subsided, the small puddle in front of me had turned into a wide river, and big fish were swimming in the river, creating waves.
The orcs stared at the river in front of them for a long time, unable to recover from their shock. They were in awe of this world-changing power, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel their blood boiling.
Jiaojiao, who was well protected by her father in his arms, excitedly pointed at the fish tumbling in the river, and her baby voice became louder: "Fish, fish, daddy has so many fish."
"Yeah, Yuyu." Hesnemen kept comforting the excited little guy in his arms.
Jiaojiao, who had calmed down a little, patted the small backpack on her back and looked at her father with sparkling eyes: "Catch fish, eat fish."
Hearing these words, Hesnemen lowered his head to meet his sparkling eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.
It turns out you wanted to eat fish, no wonder you were so excited!
He put Jiaojiao down and patted the greedy little guy's butt: "Okay, go catch some fish, and I'll cook it for you when you catch it.
After getting the promise from her father, Jiaojiao walked forward happily with the small backpack on her back. After a few steps, her shoes were soaked by the overflowing water.
Looking down at her wet shoes, Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a while before squatting down to take them off. She ran back with them in her hands and put them next to her father. She looked up at him and asked, "Dad, can you watch my shoes for me?"
Hesnemen looked at his chubby little feet, smiled and nodded.
After seeing her father agreed, Jiaojiao ran back to the river happily with the small backpack on her back.
When Jiaojiao came to the river, he stretched his chubby feet into the river. He shuddered immediately because of the coldness and quickly pulled his feet back.
Hu You and others who had been soaked by the water came to their senses. Seeing Jiaojiao wanted to catch fish, they stepped into the river without fear of the cold and shouted that they wanted to catch fish for Jiaojiao.
They had never seen a river before, so they certainly couldn't swim. Knowing that the water could drown the orcs, the little orcs were very careful and only fished in the shallow water at the riverside, which was not even knee-high.
Seeing this, the adult orcs who followed out were extremely envious, but in order to maintain the image of orcs in the eyes of the gods, they still suppressed the urge in their hearts and stood straight, alertly looking around.
Jiaojiao, who had to withdraw her feet because the water was cold, saw Hu You and the others running happily in the water. She tilted her head and blinked, then tried again to carefully put her little feet into the water.
After finding that the water was not as cold as it was at the beginning, Jiaojiao pursed his lips with relief and stepped into the water to start his fishing business.
All the fish were very close to the little god. As soon as Jiaojiao entered the water, a group of fish swam over and surrounded him.
Just as Jiaojiao was happily trying to catch the slippery fish, a big fish weighing about 15 pounds jumped out from the deeper water and landed accurately in the small backpack behind Jiaojiao.
The sudden weight in the backpack caused Jiaojiao to sit down in the water. As soon as she sat down in the water, she was picked up by Hesnemen who came over quickly.
"Cough... cough... cough..." Although Hesniemen was very fast, Jiaojiao still choked on the water and lay in her father's arms coughing softly.
Hesnemen frowned and wiped the water off his face.
Jiaojiao coughed so hard that the tip of her nose and the corners of her eyes turned red. After a while, she pointed at the fish in the water, looked up and complained to her father pitifully: "You bad fish! You made Jiaojiao fall."
"Well." Hesnemen touched his wet head: "We will eat that bad fish tonight."
"Yeah." Jiaojiao nodded her little head vigorously, then patted her father's hand proudly: "Dad, put Jiaojiao down, Jiaojiao, catch it out."
Hesnemen, who had already locked onto the fish and was about to pull it out, looked down and found that the little guy in his arms was staring at the fish in the water angrily, as if he wanted revenge.
Hesniemen was speechless, and then put Jiaojiao down helplessly.
Jiaojiao went back into the water and stared at the fish in the river that looked similar in size. He blinked blankly. It was obvious that he couldn't recognize which bad fish had caused him to fall.
Just when Hesniemen thought the little guy was asking him for help, he saw Jiaojiao take down the small backpack on his back and put it into the water.
A fish quickly slipped into the small backpack. Jiaojiao, who had struggled to lift the small backpack, looked up at her father and said happily in her baby voice, "Jiaojiao caught a good fish."
Hesnemen silently looked at the big fish swimming back and forth beside Jiaojiao's legs, then looked at the obviously much smaller fish in Jiaojiao's backpack. He sighed softly, took the backpack, picked up Jiaojiao and held her in his arms: "Okay, then let's go back and cook some fish?"
Jiaojiao nodded happily after having a fish to eat, and did not forget to praise herself: "Jiaojiao is good at catching fish."
"Yeah, that's amazing." Hesnemen responded and glanced sideways at the big fish swimming in the river. The next moment, the fish in the basket switched places with the big fish.
Of course, a vengeful spirit wouldn't let go of anyone who bullied his cub, even if it was just a fish...
"Hu Youyou, my dad and I are leaving." Before leaving, Jiaojiao waved to her friends who were still busy catching fish in the river.
The little beastmen, who had been busy for a long time without catching a single fish, came to their senses and saw Jiaojiao was about to leave, so they immediately ran out of the river.
Just kidding, the wilderness is so dangerous nowadays!
Not to mention that if they didn't leave, the big orcs who had been watching with envy were about to slap them in the face.
A group of little beastmen, still eager to have more fun, followed Jiaojiao and his father back while excitedly discussing how to cooperate in catching fish next time.
From time to time they would stop to see if the small flowers emerging from their feet were of a variety not found in the deserted city.
The little beastmen are very caring towards the flowers and plants in the deserted city. They recognize and remember all the flowers in every corner of the deserted city.
A group of people walked to the gate of the deserted city in a lively manner, and saw the hunting team that had returned early in the distance running towards them, covered in blood, carrying several figures.
The faces of the little beastmen who were so excited just now turned pale in an instant, because their parents were going out hunting this time.
Transition, transition, it's not water, it really needs a transition~
