Chapter 311 Black and White
Si Shuo coughed softly, "Well, I don't feel anything. Maybe I was confused because of sleep."
Ji Liang nudged her and chuckled, "Xiao Shuo Shuo, go eat quickly. Remember to ask Zhi Le and the others to process and store the food I brought back."
"What does Ji Liang want to eat? I'll bring it to you," Si Shuo stayed beside him and was reluctant to leave. He felt like he was the male and Ji Liang was the female lying down, and he suddenly felt full of responsibility.
"Xiao Shuo Shuo, I've had breakfast, and there's food in my storage ring. When the eggs are hatching, I don't need to move much, so I don't need much food. You go eat first, and bring me some fruits and dried meat." Ji Liang also wanted to hold her in his arms. From the moment he saw the snake eggs to the moment they were hatched under him, he still felt dazed. He was a father now, and the cubs were born to him by the little female.
In addition to the mark of the beast, there are two more ties between the two of them in this world.
Si Shuo nodded, hugged him, and then said to the cubs under him: "Baibai, mother is going to eat first, and will come to see you later."
Baibai? "What's the name of our snake cub?" Ji Liang asked with a smile: "Hiss, little Shuo Shuo, snake eggs are white, but that doesn't mean the cubs inside are white. Have you forgotten that I'm black?"
Si Shuo chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true. I'm white, so it would be great if our baby could be a black and white match!"
Ji Liang nodded, "Then I'm really looking forward to it."
The cubs all have Si Shuo's inheritance and are very curious about the snake cubs. After dinner, they would gather around Ji Liang and mutter all kinds of things to the snake eggs under Ji Liang.
Ji Liang's eyes were warm, and he looked at the kids lazily. The house was becoming more and more lively. He almost forgot what kind of life he had lived before.
While eating, Si Shuo checked the rewards he got for giving birth to a cub, which were 20,000 beast coins, 27 boxes of milk powder, superpower awakening pills, and warm jade.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals. In winter, when the temperature is cold, they will hibernate. With this warm jade, they will be like ordinary orcs and will no longer be controlled by the low temperature environment.
This time, she chose the speed talisman and the immobilization talisman!
Outside, there were dark clouds, rumbling thunder, and lightning occasionally tearing the sky apart. The rain kept falling, only stopping at noon and midnight. The rest of the time, it was half drizzle and half heavy rain. The entire Beast World seemed to be paused, and there was almost no orc outside.
Yin Jiang had just been teleported back from patrol. After drying himself outside, he entered the main room and was given a bowl of hot ginger and jujube tea by Si Shuo.
"This year, there has been a lot of rain, and it's been heavy, two or three times as much as usual. Many places in the suburbs have been flooded. Guangshou City is not high, and the ground has begun to accumulate water. Many families have moved to the second floor.
I am afraid that the second floor will also be flooded. By then, the soil on the first floor will be too soft to support the third floor... The female and her cubs will not be able to bear living in a damp and cold environment for a long time..."
Wei Ce frowned, "The weather has been very changeable in recent years. This year's rainy season is four or five days earlier than usual. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be floods in many places!"
Si Shuo couldn't help but feel heartbroken after hearing this. In her world, when there was a lot of rain in the summer, there would be flood disasters in the south every few years. At that time, the whole country would unite to rescue and provide disaster relief, and at least the relief supplies would arrive in time.
Here, every household has limited supplies. Three or five meals can be donated, but any more will determine whether the family can survive the cold season.
What can't hungry orcs do?
"What should I do then?" she asked subconsciously.
Xiao Cheng shrugged: "What else can we do? Naturally, we will migrate to the mountains with our whole family in the wind and rain."
"The soil on the mountain has become soft due to soaking. It must be dangerous, right?" Si Shuo pursed his lips and looked outside worriedly.
They were in a valley, with rainwater pouring down from the top of the cliff. There were two outlets for water here, one was the mountain spring, and the other was connected to the waterfall through the wind hole. Neither of these two outlets was large, causing the valley to become a shallow pool, and the water level was rising every day.
Zhile put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Mao Zi, this is a rocky mountain, so it's less dangerous. As long as you pay attention when you go in and out, there won't be any problems."
"There are not many stone mountains in the Central Plains. I'm afraid that by then, we will have many neighbors on the other side of our mountain!" Gong You curled the corner of his lips.
Xu Chi narrowed his eyes, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Maybe there is a way leading to here that we don't know about. I'll go out now, erase the traces of us being outside, and then hide the door."
"I'll go with you," Yin Jiang nodded in agreement.
Si Shuo pursed his lips, "Is the tree house going to be demolished too?"
Xu Chi smiled and rubbed her head: "Just take it down, I put it in the space, and when the weather is good, I will take it out and install it again."
"I'm afraid that Zhulin Mountain will be coveted by everyone," Wei Ce frowned, "Sister Shuo, I'll go to the tribe more often these days. We in the Iron-eating Beast Tribe don't mind them taking shelter in the mountains, but we're afraid that they'll treat it as their own territory..."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Si Shuo understood that it was easier to invite a god than to send him away. "Aren't there many endless mountains and forests outside Zhulin Mountain? People often go there to hunt. There are no particularly ferocious beasts on the mountain. Can we temporarily hide there to avoid the rainy season?"
"They won't think so. They will only think that Zhulin Mountain is close to Guangshou City, and our Iron-eating Beast Clan occupies hundreds of acres of land. Who wouldn't be jealous? I guess they will use crystal stones as the rent, and we can't refuse firmly. The relationship in the city is complicated. We have many relatives in the Iron-eating Beast Clan. We can't just stand by and watch in times of crisis..." Wei Ce exhaled and smiled, "Don't worry, sister Shuo. They won't dare to go too far after what happened to Mi Xing."
Yin Jiang thought for a moment and continued, "If everyone moves away, it will be bad for us to stay in the valley. We have to follow suit."
"Let's just follow the tribe's arrangements," Si Shuo nodded, "However, Ji Liang has to hatch the snake babies here, and I'll teleport back and forth!"
Sure enough, within two days, neighbors began to arrive from the other side of the mountain. Seeing this, Xiao Cheng first occupied a relatively high position, covered with animal skins and started digging. Everything must be prepared. He worked hard for three days and dug out a room and three courtyards. Next to him was Xiao Zhao, who was also busy widening the area and preparing to move at any time in case of flooding.
Within a few days, the orcs had dug out rows of dense caves on the mountain wall. If it weren't for the natural disaster, others would have mistaken it for a large tribe.
That day, Wei Ce was teleported to the corridor outside the cave in the valley. He took a bite of the Dust-Clearing Talisman, and felt clean and refreshed before entering the cave.
"Sister Shuo, the water in the city has already flooded more than one floor, and the second floor is ankle-deep. After discussing with my father and the elders, it was decided that everyone should move to Zhulin Mountain first..."
