Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 57

Not long after starting again, Jiang Xia finally felt the power of the cold winter~ so cold!Woohoo, she was even wrapped in a mink fur coat, and her hands and feet were still cold when she was sitting in bed. They had already gone from dark to dawn. Of course, this dawn is said in terms of time. Just judging from the color of the sky, it is completely It was only gloomy and gloomy, and the tear in the cloud layer that could have let some light through was only half the size of the original one, and it was still slowly gathering together.

Jiang Xia no longer cared about the bumps of the cart, and only hoped to reach the cave as soon as possible.The temperature in the early morning would have been lower, and the temperature has been getting lower and lower since the hail stopped last night. Ice was frozen on the road, and the hail that had not completely melted was frozen together with the wet soil. When the cart passed by, it creaked.Jiang Xia wanted Ares to turn into a beast shape, the tiger's skin would be thicker and its fur longer, and the ability to resist the cold would be strengthened, but Ares firmly disagreed.Although the cart can be put on a tiger with a rein in the animal shape, the stability will be much worse. The big tiger does not want to make his partner suffer, and he can better maintain the balance of the cart in the human form.

Although Ares didn't say it clearly, Jiang Xia can almost figure out her partner's mentality by now. She just feels happy and distressed. The happy thing is that Ares can think of everything for her, and she feels sorry for the big tiger. Jiang Xia was glad that when she made animal skin clothes for her two mothers, she also made a set for Ares, but she was forced to wear them for Ares.Do you know why the big tiger is not happy?The arrogant tiger thinks that vests can be worn, but it would be awkward if he was wearing other animal fur all over his body, and he himself is not hairless, so Jiang Xia was so angry that he was itchy.In the end, she threatened to let Ares sleep by herself after she didn't put on the clothes, so the big tiger reluctantly put on the clothes.

Now, the calves of the big tiger's animal skin pants are all covered with frost formed by mud, Jiang Xia immediately dismissed the idea of ​​walking around to increase the body's heat.Jiang Xia had no choice but to put down the curtain of the tent, and immediately shivered.The patriarch and the others should be able to reach the cave at noon, and they are now at the bottom of the list. They hope to arrive before night without any accidents.

About noon, Ares stopped behind a hillside, and they had to eat to replenish their strength.Ares took out a whole deer leg from under the cart like a magic trick, Jiang Xia's eyes widened, "So we still have something to eat, then why did you still think about hunting last night?" Jiang Xia I remembered Ares' eager expression of looking at the cooked barbecue frozen into ice with disgust, and wanting to hunt.

"This is food specially reserved for the final sprint. No matter how difficult it was before, we must face it positively, because we have left a glimmer of hope for ourselves, and we have a chance to make a comeback before we are completely desperate. Xia Xia, you will be in a while Eat more, I won't stop until I reach the cave, you know?" Big Tiger's tone was a bit solemn, it should be that the bad weather is really coming, Jiang Xia immediately reacted, and no longer struggled Whether I'm cold or not, I got off the cart and quickly prepared to eat.

Ares set up a fire to barbecue, and Jiang Xia asked her partner to help build a shelf. She had to cook some hot thick soup for herself. Compared with barbecue, it seemed that the nutritious broth would bring her more calories.

Jiang Xia has done a lot of meticulous work since knowing that they will migrate before the blizzard comes. For example, what they hold water now is no longer the heavy clay pot, but two bamboo tubes that are larger than the original ones for boiling water. Jiang Xia asked Big Tiger to make it for her specially.The water in it could boil a clay pot full of hot soup. Jiang Xia felt that she was very foresighted, but after she took out the bamboo tube from the rear of the car, she was still depressed.

The bamboo tube was put together with several bamboo baskets containing sweet potatoes, and there was ice in it. There was no way but to let the big tiger break up the ice and pour it into a pottery basin to melt it.Big Tiger specially picked up a few big sweet potatoes and buried them in the fire of the barbecue, so that he could fill his stomach when he was hungry on the road.

In order to be in a hurry, Jiang Xia didn't care whether to make the broth more delicious. She put a few pieces of the five-ripe venison that Ares had just roasted, added wild vegetables and a lot of ginger, and cooked it quickly. Bring out a pot of soup.As soon as you drink the broth with ginger in your stomach, you will feel a warm feeling in your body. The almost roasted venison will be soft after a little cooking, and it will be digested immediately when you eat it, giving your body heat. .

Ares's barbecue Jiang Xia didn't touch it again. The big tiger had to pull a cart outside and deal with possible dangers. Of course, he needed to eat more. In the end, Jiang Xia forced him to drink a bowl of ginger soup.

The roasted sweet potatoes were carefully wrapped in animal skins by Jiang Xia, and kept for later eating.It was finally warmer when we hit the road again.Jiang Xia obviously felt that Ares pulled the cart a lot faster, because the bumps became more severe, and the bamboo baskets fixed to the rear of the cart shook accordingly. Jiang Xia was really afraid that they would be knocked apart and the sweet potatoes would be rolled everywhere But it's not easy to clean up.In order not to worry the big tiger, Jiang Xia wrapped all the sheets and blankets around her body, and felt a little better in the bumps. The feeling of dislocating all internal organs is really good. Jiang Xia thought of yesterday again, it was really lustful There is a knife on the prefix, sweat...

I don't know how long it took to endure the pain. Jiang Xia felt that she was going to be numb. Suddenly there was a strong wind outside, definitely a strong wind of magnitude five or six. The bamboo poles of the tent crackled a few times, and Jiang Xia was covered head to face by the animal skin tent that fell down.

What kind of situation is a dilapidated house with continuous rain? Jiang Xia fully understands it. If it is not for her partner to accompany her, Jiang Xia will really cry. What is it all about...

Ares opened the collapsed tent and pulled Jiang Xia out, only to find that his partner had a dejected little expression about to cry, not to mention how funny it was.He touched his partner's angry little face, "It's okay, don't be angry, did you hit something?"

The tent is not heavy at all, so where can it hurt? Jiang Xia shook her head. When she saw Ares taking out the bamboo pole that had been folded in two, she felt a burst of pain. She should have thought of reinforcing the bamboo pole before going out. Where can I find a ready-made bamboo pole now? bamboo pole to go.

Jiang Xia raised her arms to block the cold wind, and looked around through the gap. This place is far away from the tribe, and the vegetation coverage is very low. There are only cluttered bushes and sparse bushes. Bamboo cannot be found at all. It should be able to support it with branches, but...

Ares came to Jiang Xia's side against the wind, fully confirming Jiang Xia's hesitation, "Xia Xia, the wind is too strong, the tent can't be set up, but it's just barely set up, and if you can't walk a few steps, it may be blown down again .” She knew it! !Jiang Xia sighed and was embraced by the big tiger.

"I thought about it. Don't bring the cart. It was originally used to set up a tent to protect you from the wind and snow. Now it's useless. We are running out of time. I can walk quickly with you in my arms. a little."

"What about my sweet potatoes and dried vegetables?" Jiang Xia was still thinking about the food she had worked so hard to dry out, which was green food.

"You can memorize as much as you can, and put the rest in a safe place. I will come to get them again when I have a chance. Don't worry, your things will not be lost."

Jiang Xia muttered, whoever said that no one would take it, those wild animals that eat plants will definitely find it, and if they are found, they will not be dragged back to their homes, animals are not stupid.But there is really nothing else to do. Looking at the current strong wind, she can take two steps forward and be blown back three steps by the wind, and the weather is getting worse and worse. "Then let's hurry up, how many belts can we bring?" How much." Willingness, willingness, willingness to gain.

The wheels of the cart were removed, and they were stacked together with the flat plate on the back of a mountain bag. There were only two bamboo baskets to carry. Jiang Xia thought about it, and brought a half basket of sweet potatoes and half a basket of dried vegetables.In Jiang Xia's mind, dried vegetables are safer than sweet potatoes, and I hope those small animals that eat plants don't know what to eat and let her food go!
Ares wrapped Jiang Xia in several layers of animal skin blankets and hugged her in his arms. This is the benefit of having a tall husband, Jiang Xia thought happily when she was firmly held in her partner's arms.

The bamboo basket was put on the rattan rope and carried directly on the back. There were also daily necessities such as bamboo tubes for water and pottery basins in the basket. In order to prevent excessive load, Ares wrapped two more ropes around the bottom of the basket. Finally They also wrapped the collapsed tent in bamboo baskets to the best of their ability.

It wasn't until Ares started running that Jiang Xia realized how much time they had wasted before. Running in the form of a big tiger was not inferior to running in the form of a beast. Even though she was still in his arms, the speed was still very smooth. Jiang Xia was tightly wrapped He buried his head, and could only hear his partner's heavy breathing and the whistling of wind blowing in through the gaps in the blanket.

Jiang Xia was wrapped up and held horizontally by Ares, which not only tested the strength of the person's arms, but also made it uncomfortable for the person being held by the waist for too long. Jiang Xia endured it again and again, feeling really tired and panicked, and was about to complain to Ares Allowing her to move around for a while, the big tiger actually pressed her a little tighter in his arms. Jiang Xia could feel Ares' whole body leaning forward slightly, and the speed was getting faster and faster, even jumping forward. Jiang Xia could clearly Feel a brief moment of weightlessness.

Has the weather changed again?Just as Jiang Xia wanted to stretch her head to see what was going on, Ares pushed her back violently with her big hand, but she soon understood what happened.A bigger hailstorm than the previous one fell, and Jiang Xia could even hear the heart-shattering loud sound of the ice cubes hitting the ground. She didn't dare to move any more, and obediently hid in her partner's arms, Ah The height and distance of Reese's jumps are obviously different every time. No matter how stupid he is, he can think that he is avoiding hail.Thinking of the news about huge hailstones destroying houses on TV, Jiang Xia raised her heart in her throat, but she was wrapped in a blanket and couldn't see anything. A head of sweat came out.

Suddenly, the big tiger above let out a muffled grunt, its body trembled, its arms went limp and almost threw Jiang Xia out, and it slid forward several steps before it stabilized its body.

The big tiger was injured, otherwise he wouldn't be so unsteady. Jiang Xia was disturbed by his guess, and the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, "Ares, are you alright? Are you okay? Let me come out and see. "

"Hey, I'm fine, we're almost there, don't move, we're almost there." Jiang Xia's voice was muffled from under the blanket, and the top of her head was exposed when she was struggling, Ares kissed Jiang Xia He wrapped her in his arms again, breathed a sigh of relief, endured the sharp pain in his shoulders, and moved forward again. The outline of the mountain range where the cave was located could already be seen, and they were almost there.

Jiang Xia was pressed into her arms again, biting her lips and enduring in silence, she only hoped that they could arrive sooner and sooner, her Ares had suffered multiple injuries.My heart was full of sourness, and tears flowed out like a flood that opened the gate.Thinking of the arrogance and arrogance of the big tiger when they met for the first time, the arrogance and awkwardness after becoming a partner, the cunning and self-willedness when he occasionally teased her, the various cares he took for her when he was in the Andong Tribe, and how protective and considerate he is until now, she has always been I feel that I am older than Ares in terms of mental age, and she should be the one who tolerates all his little problems and willfulness, but it turns out that her big tiger has become her support without knowing it?When did that arrogant and awkward young orc grow into a towering tree that could shelter her from the wind and rain?He will definitely become a good father in the future, so this is her happiness.

Jiang Xia's silence made Ares a little worried, "Xia Xia, are you not bored? Are you cold? I can already see the outline of the cave. We are almost there, don't worry."

Jiang Xia shook her head vigorously, she was just worried about his body.her big tiger...

After a not too long distance, Jiang Xia’s unbearable mood that he had never felt before finally ended completely. When Ares stopped again, before Jiang Xia came and lifted the blanket, he heard the noise coming from around him. At this moment, the joy of reunion was overwhelmed by the feeling that his partner finally didn't have to suffer anymore. Jiang Xia couldn't even speak clearly, and started to speak incoherently as soon as he saw the tribe, "Hurry up, find the witch doctor, I, My Ares is injured, hurry up! Where is my mother, is Ewen there?" At the end of the talk, he even started to cry.

Ares put down the bamboo basket behind his back, looked up and saw his partner hurriedly looking for a witch doctor for him as soon as his messy little head was exposed, his heart was so soft, "Little fool, I'm fine, don't worry." Jiang Xia didn't believe it , She hasn't seen the injured place yet, so she can't let go of her heart no matter what.

"Ares, you are here, why did you arrive so late?" Frode should have been waiting not far away, and they found them as soon as their front feet reached their back feet, "Xia Xia, you, Ewen, are waiting for you Anxious, let me come and have a look, the place to live has been arranged, come with me."

With the help of Ai Wenmu's father to look at the wound, Jiang Xia temporarily calmed down, and when Frode asked why they were late, she immediately blushed and winked at the big tiger to warn her. If someone knew the reason, she would be ashamed up.Fortunately, Ares is not that stupid, he just said that he was delayed on the road.When the three of them were about to walk in, Jiang Xia said again, "Frode, my Ares was injured by the hail, please help carry the things, thank you." I'm sorry, anyway, the friendship between Ares and Frode is no less than that of brothers.

"Are you seriously injured? Why didn't I see that you couldn't even carry the two small baskets?" Above Jiang Xia's head, which Jiang Xia couldn't see, two orcs were eyeing each other.

"That's because my family Xia Xia cares about me. Why, are you jealous? Or do you not want to agree? Your family Qiqi listens to my family Xia Xia's words very much. Are you afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat when you go home?" Ares is very proud.

"..." This is not a family that does not come into the house, a pair of brazen couples, Frode thinks that he should let Qiqi suffer less from Jiang Xia's abuse, but Qiqi just yelled to Come to pick up my good friend, come on, Flood resigned to his fate to carry the basket.

Jiang Xia finally had the opportunity to observe the cave they came in. The entrance of the cave was very small, and the ceiling was so low that it could only accommodate five or six orcs walking side by side at most, and they could even touch the ceiling just by raising their arms.Walking another 50 meters into such a space, the roof of the cave will slowly rise. Jiang Xia looked carefully, and it seemed that it was not the roof of the cave that was rising, but the road under their feet was falling.

"Ares, does the road here lead to the bottom?" Jiang Xia was very curious about how this cave was formed so that it could accommodate all the members of the tribe to live here.

Ares heard the words, exchanged glances with his friend, and smiled at his partner, "You will know later, this is the miracle left to us by our ancestors!"
