After the friendly reminder from 'God', the males who made mistakes finally chose to drink the penalty soup.
Then Mingyue asked the females to publicize the existing rules of the tribe to the orcs present again, and left a sentence "I will always keep an eye on you, and you will be punished if you make any mistakes" and left.
The male orcs present felt unspeakable regret in their hearts as they listened to those rules that only benefited females.
If they had known that this rule was something that all orcs must abide by, they would have definitely said something to benefit the males.
But there is no such thing as knowing it earlier in this world, and there is no medicine for regret.
After seeing that the warriors who drank the punishment soup no longer had the instinct to have sex, for a period of time afterwards, no orcs dared to violate the rules of the tribe.
But Mingyue couldn't care about these things. She was busy, very busy.
Winter is coming soon. The winters on this continent are exceptionally cold and long. Wild animals usually migrate to other places and return here in the spring of next year, which means that food will be very scarce by then.
Now all the orcs in this large area live together, and the tribe needs to store a lot of food so that all the orcs can safely survive the winter.
These days Mingyue asked some of the orcs in the tribe to go out hunting, and she taught the other part how to smoke meat, make heated kangs, and make various seasonings, fur coats, blankets, etc. The whole tribe began to prepare for winter.
Just in case, Mingyue also picked a lot of herbs outside for future use, which contained various medicinal properties.
At this moment, a group of females were huddled together, each busy with their own things, and they seemed to be having a great time.
Ah Tian rubbed her head against a newly made beast blanket and said confidently, "It's so comfortable, Ah Yue. I've made up my mind. I want to transform into a human form in the future. Then I can wear the same fur as you."
"Okay!" Mingyue smiled at her and separated the roots and leaves of a handful of herbs, then crushed the roots with a stone.
Ah Xi, who had transformed into a human form, pushed Ah Tian's head away, folded up the blanket, and said unhappily, "Ah Tian, please stop causing trouble for us. Ah Yue said that these furs are for the cubs. Your claws are so sharp, what if you damage them?"
Because she disliked her beast form being too big, Ah Xi finally chose to transform into a human form. Her human form was plump, her face was round and cute, and her eyes were full of spirit. Now many males in the tribe were very attentive to her, and they no longer looked disdainful of her.
However, Ah Xi had no interest in males. She even ignored the male who had had intercourse with her during her transformation period.
Now Ah Xi likes to learn things from Mingyue more. The blanket that Ah Tian is rubbing against right now was made by her.
The orcs in beast form come with fur coats, so they are naturally not too afraid of the cold winter. However, several females in the tribe are pregnant with cubs, and the cubs have no defense when they are born. It is almost impossible for cubs born in winter to survive. Mingyue was thinking about this, so she was busy with the warm pit and blankets.
Ah Tian quickly retracted her claws, blinked in grievance, and muttered softly: "Ah Qing and the others didn't take me hunting, Ana Chuan and the others didn't let me smoke meat, and you didn't let me make a wool blanket, but I also want to help!"
Ah Xi rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's because Ah Tian you're too stupid! You run too slow when hunting, you burn your tail when smoking meat, and you scratch the fur when making a blanket. How dare we ask you for help?" Ah Tian felt so wronged when she heard this that tears welled up in her eyes. "I don't want to be like this. I have done my best. I didn't do it badly on purpose." Her tail subconsciously wrapped around Mingyue's calf and tightened slightly. She asked cautiously, "Ayue, am I stupid? Do you hate me?"
Mingyue put down the herbs in her hand, raised her hand to rub A Tian's wolf head, thought for a while and said: "You are not stupid. Every orc has his or her strengths and weaknesses. You just haven't found your strengths yet."
Ah Tian's tail loosened and he sniffed: "What if I never find it?"
The orcs in the tribe all have things to do, and all of them are busy, but she can't do anything well, and she feels so useless!
Mingyue's eyebrows softened, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Then try everything, you will always find something you like. Even if you really can't find it in the end, at least you have tried everything, and you won't feel regretful."
A Tian nodded as if she understood, she listened to A Yue, and everything A Yue said must be right.
"Why don't you learn to identify herbs from me first?" Mingyue rubbed the wolf's head and handed the moon leaf in her hand to him. "This is called a moon leaf. The stem is upright and usually as high as a calf. The outline of the leaf is in the shape of a moon. It can be used as medicine..."
Ah Tian listened and watched carefully, and followed Mingyue to identify the herbs over and over again. She actually felt that it was much easier than doing other things.
Ah Xi, who was standing next to her, looked at Ah Tian with some envy, thinking that Ah Yue was so nice to Ah Tian. But after thinking about it, she decided that making a furry blanket was more interesting, so she lowered her head and concentrated on making the blanket.
The other females who were interested in herbs came over to listen and asked questions from time to time.
The females, who were not interested in the herbs, continued to work on their own things.
The atmosphere was harmonious and friendly.
At this time, the males were also busy, some were making warm beds, some were smoking meat, some were out hunting, and some were smelting iron...
As time went by, all the leaves in the forest fell off, the weather became colder, and the prey became less and less.
When the continuous white snow fell one day, Mingyue knew that winter was coming.
The winter in the Orc Continent comes with great force. You only feel the cold on the first day, and then heavy snow falls on the second day, decorating the entire earth with silver.
The bare tree branches were all hung with silver bars, and some evergreen grasses were covered with fluffy snow cloaks. The sky was still snowing heavily like goose feathers, and the ground was frozen and covered with snow. The weather suddenly turned bad.
Of course, for the orcs in beast form, this kind of cold is still acceptable.
But for Mingyue and the orcs who had transformed into human form, this kind of cold was almost fatal. They almost hid in the mud house with a heated kang and were unwilling to come out at all.
But at this moment, Ah Tian rushed into Mingyue's room and shouted anxiously: "Ah Yue, something bad has happened. Ah Yun's baby can't be born."
