The weather has really warmed up, and this warmth is gradual, which is specifically reflected in the ground and the number of prey. After an unknown number of years, the ice layer slowly melted, the originally thin and narrow river became wider and wider, a large area of soil was exposed, and more and more plants broke through the ground, like a signal , a signal that winter has passed, the earth took off its silver-white coat in just a few months, and covered it with a layer of green gauze.
The orcs in the tribe are not having a good time recently. Everyone is busy shedding their hair. Because of the rapid shedding, many of them have become alopecia areata. For this group of orcs born and raised in the cold zone, there is nothing more uncomfortable than shedding their hair. The thick fur has been with them since birth, and it suddenly becomes lighter, making it uncomfortable for everyone to walk. Louis was not spared either. Fortunately, he had a brush specially made for him by Meng Jiuzhao. He brushed off the hair that was about to fall off in time every day.
Adult orcs in the tribe are cautious about changes in the surrounding environment.
There are many plants that have never been seen before growing on the ground, and more and more frequent encounters with creatures that have never been seen when hunting, this land seems to have become strange all of a sudden. They are constantly adapting to the changing environment, but the environment seems to be changing faster than they can adapt.
The cubs are carefree, they think it's a lot of fun outside!
When they are active, the teachers are not free all day. Sometimes when the adults don't care about them, the cubs start to sneak outside. Slowly, the range of the little ones is getting wider and wider It's getting farther and farther away.
Although he knew it might be dangerous to do so, Meng Jiuzhao wanted to see the outside world too much, so he acquiesced in this kind of adventure.
At Meng Jiuzhao's request, the cubs followed the flow of the river to expand the scope of their expedition.
The riverside is naturally suitable for plant growth, and Meng Jiuzhao discovered four kinds of edible plants one after another!
The first thing he discovered was a plant called ground flower. As the name suggests, the whole body is green, but it looks like a small open flower. The ground flower has grown on the earth for more than 10,000 years, and its vitality is very tenacious. As soon as Meng Jiuzhao found out, he was snatched away by Bo La. It was also because of this episode that Meng Jiuzhao was relieved to find that the female cubs in the tribe still had a girlish side.
"It's so beautiful!" Paula snatched the ground flower and couldn't put it down.
The people of the Washi tribe have never seen such a thing as a "flower" since they were young. But they instinctively know that this form is beautiful.
Naji and the others, who didn't get the ground flowers, also stopped. Everyone searched by the river, and finally a few more flowers were tossed out by them. These ground flowers were obviously just grown, and they were very small.
"What is this?" Putting a ground flower on her ear, Ke Ke turned to look at Meng Jiuzhao, "Can I eat it?"
After all, they are not women from the era before Meng Jiuzhao. The girls here pay more attention to practical value.
"... Yes." Meng Jiuzhao nodded.
The girls who got his reply immediately had fun and went to find more land flowers.
Ground flower, grass leaves and rhizomes are all edible, and its leaves can be used as medicine, dissipating blood stasis and relieving pain, and can treat menstruation, menstruation, irregularity, and regulation.
You will need it in the future.
Probably... maybe... maybe... huh
Seeing the figures of the girls jumping up and down, Meng Jiuzhao silently swallowed the effect of the ground flower.
Although the ground flower is beautiful, it is not delicious to eat raw, but a fruit Meng Jiuzhao discovered later is very delicious. That fruit looks like a persimmon and tastes like a persimmon, but it grows in the soil. Meng Jiuzhao, who thought he had found the peanut, pulled it up and pulled out a long bunch.
The fruit was named after herself by the domineering Paula.
Listening to people discussing "I ate three Bollas today" or something... well, since Bollas don't care, he doesn't say anything.
Discovering these plants is at best a discovery of some desserts, surprises to come!
They found a herd of horned sheep!
Horned sheep are very picky eaters. They only eat fresh grass and fruits. The barren Vash continent cannot accommodate such delicate residents, so the Vash tribe has hunted very few horned sheep for a long time. However, the meat of horned sheep is really tender and delicious, and the tenderness of the oldest horned lamb is comparable to the tenderness of mature horned cattle. Bai was shocked when he ate lamb horn for the first time! Although Blake didn't show it on his face, he couldn't help chewing up the bones.
Then, they seldom eat horn sheep.
The horned sheep hunted by the Washi tribe were distributed closely to families with cubs, and the horned lamb meat distributed by the Black family was closely related to Meng Jiuzhao's food.
As a genuine human being, Meng Jiuzhao's teeth can't be compared with anyone else in the tribe. For him, horned lamb is a food with moderate softness and hardness. After realizing that his bald cub is very accepting of horned sheep, Black and Bai carefully saved the mutton horns they got each time, and reserved them all for Meng Jiuzhao to eat. Even Louis could only share a small piece each time.
So Meng Jiuzhao's childhood wish was to catch a horned sheep every day and feed it to his father!
However, the horn sheep near the Washi tribe are so rare and precious...
In this case, a group of fluffy horned sheep appeared in front of Meng Jiuzhao!
Meng Jiuzhao was so excited!
As soon as the young killer army of the Washi tribe went out, they hunted back the three-horned sheep!
The five females got the largest and the smallest horned sheep, and the Kantas brothers got the medium-sized one.
The female cubs ate the horned sheep that afternoon.
Meng Jiuzhao held back his saliva, and dragged the horned sheep back with Louis.
Now, apart from exploring the territory and looking for food with everyone, Black and Bai have to go to the distance to practice flying after the others leave every day, so they come back later than other tribe members.
However, the bald cubs and Louis in their family are very sensible, and the tribe will cook for everyone in the evening, and there is always dried meat in the den, so they are not afraid that the cubs will be hungry.
But thinking of the days when their father left, the two of them depended on each other for life, hugging each other and shivering at night, they still quickened their pace.
Bai was the first to enter the lair, and stepped on something soft as soon as he entered the door, Bai was taken aback, and at the same time he braked suddenly, he did not forget to stretch out his arms to block Black who hadn't come in yet, Bai hurriedly looked to the ground—
He saw his two cubs at a glance.
Louis chirped aggrievedly, he got up, and twisted his buttocks twice, until the fur that was crushed by his father stood up again, and he was happy again.
Fortunately, it was Louis who stepped on him - Bai Xin felt sorry for him.
Blake hastily pulled the cubs over to inspect them, especially the bald ones, who tossed and turned over and over, even peeling off the skins of the small animals and checked them. He was relieved to confirm that the two cubs were not trampled in vain.
With a blushing face, Meng Jiuzhao pulled off the little animal's skin, and then eagerly pulled Blake to let him look at the ground.
Blake and the others noticed that there was actually a horned sheep on the ground
"Didn't you see the horn sheep today?" The first thought in Black's mind was this. In order to give their delicate bald cub more favorite food, Black and Bai have always paid attention to the horn sheep. "Who gave it to you?"
Just wait for Blake to say this.
Meng Jiuzhao puffed out his small chest proudly.
"Dad, this is me and Louis hunting! I said, I will hunt a horned sheep a day for you to eat!"
Black and Bai were taken aback!
You know, horned sheep are not so hard to find! What's more, the speed of horned sheep is also one of the best!
It is a sign of a good hunter to be able to find a horn sheep and successfully hunt it!
The two fathers immediately became happy, and Bai immediately picked up the horned sheep on the ground, good guy! Heavier than their bald cubs! but…
The wool of this horned sheep...why is it wet
Changing hands, Bai frowned and smelled the hand holding the horned sheep just now: the smell of Louis' saliva.
"Uh... When you guys came back just now, Louis was hungry..." Looking at the delicious horned sheep eagerly, he wanted to eat but couldn't eat it. So, every time he couldn't bear it, Louis would lick the horned sheep and wait until the next day. When you want to eat again and again, just lick it again—
After tossing and turning several times, by the time Blake and the others arrived home, the horn sheep had almost been licked off by Louis.
"Eat it if you want to eat it! This is the horned sheep you hunted yourself!" Seeing the small eyes that Louis stared at himself eagerly, Blake smiled. Who knows—
"No, this horned sheep is for dad. We don't eat this horned sheep, we only give it to dad!" But the baby seriously refused, and Louis chimed in agreement.
Looking at the four big eyes of the cubs looking at them flatteringly, Black and Bai felt that their hearts were as soft as the wool of this horned sheep (←of course, it was the wool before being licked wet by Louis).
So, under the watchful eyes of the two cubs, the two fathers divided the horned sheep into two parts, and each of them ate half of it, not even wasting any bones.
This is the best meat they have eaten so far!
The two-headed young man Kantas thought very happily.
As cubs who separated from their father halfway, Black and Bai are two very ignorant cubs. They had their own eggs at an ignorant age, and it was very difficult to support themselves. Small cubs, one of which is still an extremely fragile human being, the difficulties involved can be imagined.
No one thought that they could raise their cubs safely, and Gulunsa, who blessed them when they parted, was no exception.
In the process of raising the cubs, they experienced a difficult period of abnormal food shortages, encountered terrible earthquakes, and encountered the biggest disaster for Kantas cubs-hair loss and tooth replacement.
In any of the above predicaments, adult Kantas may abandon their cubs in order to save themselves.
However, the two ignorant cubs persevered.
They don't know much common sense, and all they can give is love.
And now, they're getting even more love from the pups they raised.
