Just entered the winter, although there was a snow, but the cold is still within the range of people's tolerance.
The strong orcs can also go out together to survey the terrain, and they will also bring back some prey and some plants that did not freeze to death in time. Once, Hua Yi took people out for a whole day and night before returning. They climbed a tallest mountain and saw the sea.
A group of terrestrial orcs stared at the boundless sea for a full half a day, all of them dumbfounded—the bastard Suolaimu actually brought them to the easternmost point of the continent.
Suo Laimu was very dismissive of their fuss, he thought this was the safest place in the whole continent, not one of them. When the coldest winter really comes, these bumpkins who haven't been out of their homes for twenty miles will know what true wisdom is.
Since then, Huayi will send two or three people out every day, returning on the second day when the journey is fast, and the third day when the journey is slow, and they are therefore fortunate to have a taste of what is in the sea.
Chang An squatted down and stroked the sea water with his hands, feeling that the water was warmer than the ground. He gathered the animal skin on his body, and sneezed with a pale face.
The night before last night, Luo Tong's son Qing Liang had another fight with Lu Da, because when he was teaching Lu Da the knife skills, Qing Liang always liked to squat aside and watch this shit—well, it was Lu Da's unilateral Qingliang was just crying, the two little boys were buzzing and buzzing until midnight, and Changan was so annoyed that he got up and cut Lu Da, and then threw Qingliang, who was crying, to him. killed his father.
Luo Tong also knew what his son was, so he smiled wryly and said nothing. Luo Tong injured his leg on the way to escape, and Aye showed it to him—there were not many doctors in the tribe, and many people died during this trip. At this time, only Aye was left. The trauma herbs and medicines she brought The medicine powder has been used up long ago, besides washing it with salt water and fixing it with a splint, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice for Luo Tong's leg.
It was getting colder every day, and Luo Tong's legs were getting worse day by day.
The indecisive and overly affectionate former leader felt that he was about to fail, so he was terribly worried. Beastmen have always been strong and strong, and Luo Tong was in his prime. He never thought that if he died one day, his son How to do. At this time, he was caught off guard and worried, how will he live in the future, this bastard who only knows how to piss
If possible, Luo Tong certainly hopes that he and Lu Da can learn something from Chang'an that can at least protect him, but Qingliang is like a big baby with developmental delay. If you look at it, you have to avoid his eyes.
Such a good-for-nothing trash son made Luo Tong feel so ashamed that he almost dared not speak to Chang An.
Hua Yi supported a small boat and shouted to Chang'an in the water: "Come up! Come up!"
The boat is made of wood by the sea. Although the superintendent of Solai wood is not good in appearance, it is very strong. The orcs are used to hunting, and they have a sense of proportion. They will not go to the deep sea. They will swim by the sea and catch some fish and shrimp. , is still very easy to do.
Chang'an is actually a little afraid of water. He grew up in the mountains, and the deepest mountain streams are limited in depth, and he can't drown if he can dig with two hands. But the sea is different, it is so big that there is no limit. Changan always suspects that it is actually connected to another world. People standing on the boat staggeringly can't control themselves.
But there was no way, Suo Laimu said that sooner or later it would be too cold for them to get out of the cave, so the dried meat had to be saved, and the sea was the best source of food, so Changan had to bite the bullet.
Although he didn't show his fear of the water, Hua Yi had already seen it, so he deliberately played tricks to prevent the boat from approaching.
Chang An hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't want to touch the sea water. He poked his saber into the sand, then deftly supported it with the long knife, passed through the air, and landed on a small boat not far away. That flexible waist made Hua Yi's heart itch, so he pinpointed the moment when he landed on the boat in Chang'an, deliberately pushed the big rock on the shore with the oar heavily, and the boat immediately tilted to one side.
As expected, Chang'an did not stand firm. As the boat fell, Hua Yi put the oars aside, opened his hands leisurely, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Jump on the boat!" You jumped up and down, did you become a monkey? Look, you fell."
Chang'an naturally saw the movement of him hitting the stone, but after a long time, he also knew what Hua Yi was—as long as it wasn't a matter of dying, he seemed to be playing cheaply all the time.
Chang An pushed his arm away, intending to stand up by himself, but Hua Yi refused to let go.
The sound of wind and water came from the depths of the sea, and there was not even a single water bird, only two people in the boat—Chang An and himself.
Hua Yi didn't want to let go at all. When a man was a young man, he hugged him in his arms. His heart beat wildly, as if he had drunk too much alcohol, and the blood on his body was boiling, which made him excited.
When there is no one else, he will indulge himself. Hua Yi took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and slowly rested his chin on Chang An's shoulder socket. A piece of soft skin was tightly wrapped, but a white neck was exposed.
Hua Yi put his hands on his waist, with a calm expression, but in the blink of an eye, a lot of nasty thoughts were spinning in his heart. If the thoughts had a substance, they would probably scramble to get them out of his mind, and along the way Sneaking into Chang An's neckline, the man in his arms can be stripped off in the blink of an eye.
Chang'an felt something keenly—even though Hua Yi did nothing, was sanctimonious, and even suppressed the frequency of breathing, he instinctively felt that the hairs on his neck were standing upside down one by one. What's the taste.
Seeing that Hua Yi hadn't let go, Chang An impatiently touched his forearm lightly with his elbow. Although it didn't take much force, but the touch was very close, Hua Yi's hand went numb, and he finally let go. over him.
The sea breeze blew away Hua Yi's hair, he seemed to be thinking about something, let go of his hand, and his expression was still a little dazed.
Chang An looked at his face and asked, "Have you eaten your stomach?"
Hua Yi raised his eyes to look at him, paddled lazily, and thought for a while, then he suddenly said, "Did you follow me?"
Chang An was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he meant, he stood aside and looked at Hua Yi with a frown.
As soon as Hua Yi met his gaze, he shook his head, thinking: The time has not come yet.
He is like a patient hunter, no matter how much he salivates, he still has the patience to lie in ambush for several days and nights, and if he fails in a trial, he concentrates on laying traps and waiting for the opportunity.
Hua Yi pretended to glance into the distance, imitating Suolaimu's inscrutable expression and said: "It's nothing, I'm just kidding - I'm afraid it's going to blow up."
Chang An: "Fengshen also told you?"
"Get out." Hua Yi scolded him with a smile, let the boat go forward for a while, bent down and pulled up the net on the boat.
At the very beginning, they used sharp knives and long swords to pierce the fish in the water. It was difficult for people to judge the exact position on the water. Fortunately, they were all experienced hunters, and it didn't take long for them to feel the trick. Afterwards, Suo Laimu personally went to the seaside and suggested that they use the nets used for hunting.
The net was a good thing, and soon, even shells were added to their recipes.
Maybe it's really going to be windy, and the school of fish is very noisy this day, it's a bit like headless flies, bumping into east and west.
Hua Yi didn't let Chang'an do anything, but only let him help with the punting of the boat—Chang'an and Shui Fengke became clumsy once they got on the boat, and asked him to set a net, so he could get himself into it.
Hua Yi went down a few nets and caught a lot of fish, shrimp and shells, and the boat was half full soon. He hummed a ditty with a southern accent and a northern tune, and said to Chang'an: "I think we are almost done today. You turn the boat around and you have to go back." Well, the sea is not very calm today."
As Hua Yi said, he was about to pull out the last net, but his hand suddenly sank, as if he had caught something big.
His face changed, and he put his nine-inch knife in his mouth, ready to cut the net if something went wrong. Hua Yi knew that both of them had mediocre water skills, and the sea was not a place to be a hero.
However, he tentatively pulled it up, but the things in the net did not struggle much.
Hua Yi gave Chang An a wink, telling him to stand by and be on guard, and if the thing pulled up was not right, he would give it a knife. Then he lifted his hands up violently, and lifted the whole fishing net up from the water with great force. The fresh fish and shrimp were struggling vigorously, but among the fish and shrimp, there was a big lump wrapped in aquatic plants. at every turn.
Hua Yi opened the net, pushed aside the water plants, and found a "person" inside.
If it weren't for the fish-like gills on his neck and the fish's tail below his waist, he would almost be a young man.
Then, under the gaze of the four eyes of the two people, the man got out of the water, just like an orc transforming from a beast to a human. The gills slowly faded and were quickly hidden in the neck, and the tail disappeared. Two slender bare legs.
Chang An blinked: "An orc who turned into a fish, a beast fish?"
"..." Hua Yi was silent for a while, and explained helplessly to the ignorant mountain boy, "This should be a mermaid, but it is said that they live in the deep sea. For so many years, no one knows whether it is true or not. I haven't seen it before, I didn't expect it to exist... But it's strange, why did the sharks come to the shore?"
Hua Yi squatted down, put his hand on the man's neck, and judged, "He's alive."
There are many bruises on this merman's body, and there is a wound on his shoulder. I don't know what was scratched. Below the shoulder blades, he probably lost too much blood, and even his lips were white.
Chang An couldn't hold back his curiosity, and couldn't help poking the merman's naked flesh. Hua Yi knocked off his hand with a dark face, and scolded, "What are you touching?"
"The skin is soft." Chang An said in surprise, "I thought there were fish scales."
Hua Yi: "..."
Chang'an plausibly said: "Beastmen also have hair after they become humans, so why don't murlocs have scales?"
Hua Yi asked with a stomachache: "What hair? Where is the hair?"
Chang An pointed to his hair, then pointed to the hairs on his arms that were neither light nor heavy, and finally glanced at his crotch.
Hua Yi was silent for a long time, not knowing how to discuss the matter of "hair" and "scale" with him, so he could only wave his hands briefly and rudely: "You... just get the hell out of here."
Seeing that Chang An still regarded the comatose mermaid as something new, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took off the outermost layer of animal skin, wrapped it around the naked mermaid, and pushed it on Chang An's shoulder. After grabbing a hand, he said angrily: "What are you looking at? What's so interesting about a naked man? It's up to you! The mermaids have all been washed to the shore, and they might turn around under the sea, so why don't you turn around and go back— You son of a bitch who can't even be planed by a dog!"
