On the second day, the village chief gathered everyone together.
After Gu Lian came here for so long, it was the first time she saw a meeting in the village. The village chief looked very serious and explained the matter in detail.
The missing females basically went into the forest alone to pick fruit, and the ones who followed the large army into the forest were fine. If it was just one or two, it could be regarded as being taken by a beast, but they have already lost four females.
"It must be the dog village!" The males were excited.
"We're going to get our females back!"
"Yes, take it back!"
Gu Lian watched as a good meeting turned into a denunciation meeting of a group of hot-headed males, and then the strong males stood up and decided to go to Goutou Village together.
"..." Gu Lian silently dragged Qiao Mingyu to stay with the left-behind females, old people, and children.
The males are gone, and they could be in danger if they scatter home. After all, no one knows whether those kidnappers will sneak into other people's homes, or whether there will be beasts attacking the village.
The Qiao Mingyus were ignorant: "Why do they want to capture our females?"
"Because..." Before Gu Lian could explain, the enthusiastic aunt next to him pulled Qiao Mingyu to start a series of popular science.
Blah blah blah, she said a lot, but before her mouth was dry, Gu Lian was already thirsty. Finally, the aunt said: "Fortunately, there are many females in our village, otherwise those males in our village would not have to go to other villages to rob people?"
Forehead... ...
Qiao Mingyu blinked, is it wrong to grab someone
I can't imagine that handsome and gentle brother would go to other villages to grab females, that would be too rude.
Gu Lian rubbed the kitten's head: "Are you hungry?"
"A little bit." Qiao Mingyu said softly.
Gu Lian took out the dried meat and dried fish from the cloth bag on his waist: "Eat it."
Qiao Mingyu cheered, took it over and nibbled happily.
"It's not a good idea to sit like this." A strong female stood up, "Come and come with me to fetch meat and cook, everyone will take turns, and each family will take some. They will definitely be hungry when they come back. Yes, let's do more so we don't have to wait for someone to come back and do it again."
Everyone agreed that the simple orcs were very enthusiastic and generous, and each family took out a sufficient amount of meat, took out the cauldron only used for the Beast God Festival, and began to cook the meat.
"If the female is found, it's time to celebrate the Beast God Festival!" The village chief's wife said with a smile, trying to break the rigid atmosphere.
However, it did not go along with her.
At this moment, people don't know if they are in Goutou Village, and it's even harder to say if they can get it back. Who can laugh? The village chief's wife was so blind that everyone ignored her.
The village chief's face became ugly, but she held back and did not speak.
Each of the cauldrons had a female in charge of cooking the meat. Gu Lian offered to be the chef. She didn't want to eat the food made by these orcs. It was really hard to swallow. Qiao Mingyu followed Gu Lian closely, helping from time to time, and soon the fragrant stew was ready.
The beautifully colored pieces of meat are soaked in the rich soup, which makes people move their index fingers. Gu Lian added some seasonings so that it would not be salty when eaten dry. In fact, this dish is more suitable for dinner, but unfortunately there are very few wild rice, but a lot of wheat can be found. But it's not enough to eat. At most, I dig some sweet potatoes to eat in autumn.
With a large bowl of meat and broth for one person, Qiao Mingyu couldn't wait to taste a small sip of the broth, and suddenly his whole body was warm. The weather in early spring was still a little cold, and after sitting outside for a long time, my body was going to be stiff, but now it's much better.
"Delicious!" Qiao Mingyu looked at Gu Lian with bright eyes.
Gu Lian squeezed her face gently: "Then eat quickly."
The few females who shared this pot of meat also had a good time, and they admired Gu Lian's craftsmanship while eating.
"Gu Lian, you must come to cook meat during the Beast God Festival!"
"After eating this, I don't even want to eat what I made."
"exactly!"
"..."
Gu Lian's cooking skills are not so exaggerated, it is true that this group of people has never studied cooking skills, and they only need to be able to eat enough to cook. Such a comparison is the difference between a culinary novice who can only cook meat in plain water, and a five-star chef.
"Let's talk about it." Gu Lian didn't answer.
The Beast God Festival is a festival equivalent to the New Year. Originally, each village was different, but later it was all set in the late spring season. Because most orcs enter the estrus period at this time, adult orcs begin to look for mates. They will confess to their sweetheart on the Beast God Festival and send him the meat they hunted and cooked. If the other party takes it and eats it, the couple will be blessed by the beast god, become partners on the spot, and enjoy a wonderful night.
Generally speaking, no matter how anxious orcs are, they will wait until the festival of the beast to become a partner. Therefore, Beast God's Day is also Valentine's Day, and it is the wedding anniversary of almost all married orcs.
This is a romantic and important holiday.
On this day, the female chefs will cook dinner for the whole village together, and everyone gathers in front of the bonfire to share the dinner. If you have a lot of meat at home, you can also grill meat by the bonfire. In short, this is a carnival night, no worries, only happiness.
Qiao Mingyu is looking forward to this year's Beast God Festival, because those people said that her brother will definitely find a partner this year, and she is very curious about who her sister-in-law will be.
"Yuyu?" Gu Lian whispered to wake Qiao Mingyu, "Eat quickly, it's going to be cold."
"Oh." Qiao Mingyu replied obediently, and happily finished the meat, drank the broth, and then filled another bowl.
After a delicious lunch, a group of orcs gathered around chatting and dozing off. It seems leisurely, but everyone is worried.
It wasn't until the sun set west that the males returned with a few females.
"Hua!" A female stood up in surprise and ran over, "Are you all right?!"
It appears that the females have all been recovered.
The females looked frightened, but should not have been bullied. The males in Kotou Village wanted to kidnap them as companions, so they did not use force, but tried their best to soften their attitude. It didn't have much effect, but the move saved the females.
Gu Lian greeted them all to sit down, eat first and then go home to rest. Qiao Rui walked over with a handsome man and sat down beside them.
"Are you hungry?" Gu Lian gave him a bowl of meat he made, and another bowl for the man. Only now did she have time to look at the other person's appearance, and then she said: "..."
The man grinned, revealing big white teeth: "Long time no see, boss!"
"..." Gu Lian resisted the urge to put the spoon on his face and gritted his teeth, "Long time no see, liar."
Lingsu quickly hid behind Qiao Rui, while drinking soup and eating meat, he said vaguely: "I told you not to be too violent, I am the big benefactor of the village..."
Gu Lian looked at Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui swallowed the meat in his mouth: "Thanks to him this time, otherwise Goutou Village would not have let people go so easily."
They negotiated all afternoon to no avail, but Lingsu, who suddenly appeared, tried to solve it. As a liar in all corners of the world, Lingsu still knows a few tricks, ah no, Taoist magic. He casually missed two hands, and immediately frightened this group of orcs who had never seen the world before, thinking that Lingsu was the messenger of the beast god, and did not dare to offend, and took the initiative to return the people.
Then Lingsu, who had nowhere to go, followed Qiao Rui back to the village, planning to slowly think about the future.
Well now, don't think about it. The little friend poisonous milk boss is here, he will just settle here with him. Anyway, everyone thought that he was the messenger of God, and no one dared to offend him, but respected him very much. This feeling is really great.
Gu Lian was too lazy to pay attention to him. Seeing that Qiao Mingyu's siblings were full, he took Qiao Mingyu home. As for where the "Messenger of the Beast God" lives, it's none of her business.
Lingsu: "..." The little friend is so unfriendly!
In the end, Lingsu went to the village chief's house for one night. It just so happened that Qiao Mingyu's room was empty, just let him live.
Gu Lian coaxed the naughty cat to sleep, packed her things for a long time, and was about to go to rest, when she heard a knock on the door.
It was quite scary at night, Gu Lian opened the door, and saw a certain idiot who should be resting at the village chief's house without incident.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Lian went out, closed the door, and asked in a low voice.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, although there were no lights, it was quite bright. The two walked forward for a while, away from the house, standing under the moonlight, the slender shadows merged into one and blended with each other.
In fact, the naughty cat, who was not asleep, quietly crawled behind the door and watched, feeling a little unhappy and sour.
Lingsu also lowered her voice, Naughty Cat couldn't hear their conversation clearly, even though she was very sensitive.
"Gu Lian Gu Lian, please tell me about the situation in this world. I'm the only one who wears my mother's daoist. When I first came here, I saw your village quarreling with that dog village, and I was dragged away before I figured it out. Judging, it's simply not human."
The more Lingsu said, the more sad he became. He fell from the sky and almost fell to his death. And wearing a pure Yang Taoist robe that is incompatible with this world, that is why this group of orcs are unswervingly regarded as the messenger of the beast god. His current clothes are still tributes from the people of Goutou Village. Although they think it is appropriate for Lingsu to wear "divine clothes", Lingsu doesn't like the feeling of being out of place, so he decided to change into the clothes here.
Gu Lian looked at him up and down for a while: "If you are wearing clothes, then you are not an orc..."
