Chapter 126 Daily Life at Home
For a long time afterwards, Mei Yang no longer had the opportunity to go out hunting with the Elf King, because the curse of the neighboring Orc tribe became more and more severe, and there were often mad beast-like Orcs breaking into the elves' territory. The Elf King had to increase the frequency of patrols and repairs of the barrier. During this period, Mei Yang tried to follow him several times by acting coquettishly, but was ruthlessly rejected.
He had no choice but to spend his time exploring the mother tree.
When the Elf King brought all the elves to live in the Mother Tree, the internal facilities here were already relatively complete. There were commercial areas on the ground floor, living and entertainment areas on the middle floor, and residential areas on the top floor, all of which showed signs of habitation. It is said that a long time ago, the elves lived here when they were first born.
Only the bottom and top floors have not been developed much. After three or four months of renovation, the rest of the place has become almost the same as what Mei Yang and his friends saw when they came to explore hundreds of years later.
Mei Yang takes things as they come and thinks everything is fine.
Like a post-apocalyptic movie, people live in a high tower or a dungeon, all production work is carried out in a huge building, and outside is a dangerous wasteland. If you put it in a Western fantasy world, there are dangerous beast-like orcs outside, and the Elf King is not only the leader of this shelter, but also the MVP of hunting.
And I am daddy's good baby - Mei Yang has now completely taken on the role of a cub.
He has been obsessed with being with the Elf King recently, and pesters the Elf King to tell him adventure stories from the outside world every day.
He and the Elf King lived on the same floor. There were actually other empty rooms on this floor, but only the Elf King and Mei Yang lived there.
It is still a large house, but it contains many small suites and is fully equipped with living facilities, including a toilet and a bathtub, except for the lack of a balcony.
But this is not a big problem, because there is a tree branch two floors down from their floor. Mei Yang often does outdoor activities here. By the way, for the safety of the cubs, the Elf King specially installed a fence on this branch to prevent accidents to the active cubs.
When Mei Yang is bored, he will beg the Elf King to play ball with him here - it's not that Mei Yang can't find someone else to play with him. In fact, he is now the darling of the tribe. All the elves like him and are willing to play with him, but Mei Yang's favorite is still the Elf King.
He couldn't bear to see the Elf King sitting alone in the room in a daze, and he couldn't bear to see the coldness and loneliness in him that was out of tune with the surroundings.
Mei Yang didn't know what the Elf King was thinking when he was alone, but he just wanted to make the Elf King look more down-to-earth - he didn't know what happened in the past few hundred years. The Elf King now looked just a little bit colder, so how come after hundreds of years, his sexy daddy turned into a lonely old man?
No, this can't go on any longer.
Mei Yang made up his mind that even though he was restricted from going out, he would stick to the Elf King as long as he was on the mother tree.
So Mei Yang started to play badminton, football, handball and other sports. At first, he just asked Tan Xi to make two rackets for him, and dragged the Elf King to play on the tree branches every afternoon.
It wasn't long before these sports became popular throughout the tribe. The elves were active to begin with, and they had been bored for a while after being forbidden to go out. Now they had finally found a good way to kill time.
During this period, every afternoon, there are many elves playing various ball games on every branch, which becomes a beautiful landscape.
While other elves are indulging in sports, Mei Yang, who is at the forefront of fashion, takes the Elf King to try a new trick - picking and making tea.
The reason was that a week ago, Mei Yang had a sudden idea, so he pulled the Elf King aside and talked to him about tea, and asked the Elf King to look for tea trees while on patrol.
A few days later, Rumi brought back a short tea tree, which made Mei Yang very excited!
He couldn't recognize what variety it was. After all, most tea trees look very similar, but Mei Yang was sure that it was a tea tree because once in high school, the school organized everyone to visit a museum. One of the venues was introducing tea culture, and there were some potted plants on display. In order to get a scholarship at the time, Mei Yang paid special attention to this kind of practical activity that other students disdained and could add points for conduct. Therefore, he studied it carefully. Apart from anything else, he could still distinguish between tea trees and green belts.
This tea tree was planted on the top floor, in the Elf King's private garden.
Mei Yang followed his memory and tried several methods of making tea with the Elf King.
From the production process point of view, a tea tree can be made into six types of tea through different steps: green tea, yellow tea, black tea, white tea, black tea and oolong tea, but few tea merchants do this because different tea tree varieties have different suitability.
After many attempts, Mei Yang and the Elf King agreed that black tea was the best way to present the tea produced by this tea tree.
Mei Yang carefully placed the first small can of black tea in the jar. Seeing how much he treasured it, the Elf King smiled and said, "If you like it so much, I'll ask Rumi to bring you some tea plants later."
Mei Yang nodded, then shook his head and said sweetly, "The reason why I cherish this jar of tea so much is not because it is so precious, but because you and I made it together."
The cub's words comforted the Elf King.
He thought that the fact that this picked-up human cub appeared at the foot of the mother tree so coincidentally might really be God's guidance.
He had taken in many elf cubs, watched them grow up, and watched them respect and love him, but none of them had ever been as keen on sticking to him as this black-haired cub was in his sub-adulthood.
What a cute cub.
The Elf King thought for a moment and suggested, "Why not try the scented tea you mentioned?"
Mei Yang's eyes lit up, and his mouth almost stretched to his ears: "Yeah!"
Mei Yang rubbed his hands excitedly as he could finally touch these beautiful flowers.
Although the Elf King had said before that these flowers should be dried and used to soak in water, every time Mei Yang brought it up later, the Elf King would dismiss it with just a few words.
After many times, Mei Yang figured it out: these flowers may have some different meanings to the Elf King. Although he said that he would use them to make tea, he still couldn't bear to pick them.
Mei Yang apparently didn't mention it again.
He had been a good boy for many years, but his natural curiosity and playfulness had been largely liberated by the elves who doted on him. Although he didn't mention it on the surface, he couldn't help but stare at them with envy, and his big black eyes kept roving around at the various potted plants. It was difficult for the Elf King to pretend not to see it.
Now that he finally got the approval, Mei Yang was a little afraid that the Elf King would regret it later. He felt that this should be done as soon as possible, so he pulled the Elf King and started picking flowers.
He even went back to his room and dug out a large bamboo basket from under the bed that he had used to dry barley, wheat and other seeds. He wiped it clean with a wet towel and brought it up, preparing to use it to dry the flowers.
In order to improve the palatability of the scented tea, and in fact also because he was afraid that the result would be bad and the Elf King would not let him touch these flowers in the future, Mei Yang also went to the restaurant to get some fruits, sliced them and dried them.
After going back and forth several times, even though he took the elevator and shuttle buses, Mei Yang was still exhausted. His forehead was wet with sweat, but he felt extremely happy.
The Elf King used his slender fingers to move the petals and asked Mei Yang, "Why are you so obsessed with making flower tea?"
"Because I've had some really delicious scented tea before," Mei Yang answered carefully. "Also, I believe you could develop something really delicious."
"Trust me so much? I've never done that before."
“I always feel that with your extensive knowledge, you can make it taste great in one go.”
The Elf King's eyes softened a little.
He had to admit that even for him, it was hard to resist being looked at with admiration and expectation by the cubs, who thought he could do anything.
Maybe this cub is special.
The Elf King's enthusiasm for developing scented tea increased even more.
While he was carefully comparing the scents of different flowers and fruits and had no time to pay attention to himself, Mei Yang bravely decided to do something he had been thinking about for a long time.
He kicked off his shoes, stepped on the chair with his bare feet, then climbed onto the round table and stood on tiptoe to look at the elves in the fruit.
It’s been almost a month and his friends haven’t been born yet!
The pregnancy cavity is similar to that of a fruit, and the outer wall is a translucent membrane. Because it is a certain distance from the ground, Mei Yang could not see clearly inside before. He could only roughly see the outline of the curled up baby.
Yesterday he came up as usual to check on the development of his little friends. The Elf King said that they might be about to hatch, so today, Mei Yang decided to take a closer look. If these babies have grown their hair, he would be able to recognize who they are earlier as long as he observes carefully - except for the largest one of the five fruits, which is probably the slightly chubby Oggie, the others are impossible to distinguish.
Mei Yang stood on tiptoe. At this height, he raised his head and was only half a meter away from several fruits connected together. He squinted his eyes and looked closely, and he actually made out something!
There is a light pink one, probably Red - after all, amniotic fluid and the outer wall have the effect of weakening the brightness of the color.
Blue, cyan and purple are difficult to distinguish, but Sean and Pop are twins, so one of the pairs of eyes that look like two cat eggs is them, and the remaining one can only be Blue with blue hair.
After figuring out the problem that had been bothering him for several days in one go, Mei Yang put his hands on his hips, very satisfied with his own intelligence.
He raised his head and put his hands on his hips, looking extremely arrogant.
Mei Yang was still thinking about whether he should share this little discovery about color with the Elf King, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the fruit containing Red suddenly shook.
Still shaking obviously.
But there is clearly no wind now. The top terrace is high, but it has a roof, so there is no way there can be strong wind.
Could it be...
As for the Elf King, he had just tried combining jasmine and mint leaves with green apples. He felt that the smell was very refreshing and pleasant, and was about to call his cubs to come over and smell it.
Suddenly, he heard a loud noise.
The Elf King turned around quickly and saw that the table and chairs in the middle of the room were tilted and overturned on the ground. Beside them, Mei Yang fell to the ground barefoot, with a confused look on his face.
In his arms was a fruit bigger than his head.
