Orcs’ Time Through Time

By the end of November and the beginning of December, the high priest said that there might be a snowstorm recently, and the tribe began to move into the cave. There are only 97 people in our clan, but the cave is estimated to hold hundreds of people, so we stored a lot. Things, the people of the tribe now treat me and Luo Lei very preferentially, and we also occupy a very large space. Of course, we also need such a large space. Just storing my private goods, I don’t know how much space we need.

Before entering the cave, I asked Luo Lei to slaughter the two wild boars and deer that had grown a lot. Half of the meat was distributed to the tribe, and the remaining half we made our own winter reserves, because we wanted There is no way to raise it by moving into the cave. I secretly made up my mind to settle down completely next year. I must start raising cows, pigs, sheep, deer, rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese, everything I can raise.

I have processed everything that can be handled, and the rabbits I raised have also been made into dried rabbits. And after these three months, the four rabbits have also become a dozen, not including the two that I gave to Aman and the two females that I gave to the patriarch, all of which were plump. But even so, the calf that has become better and the ewe I fed with soybeans, I don’t plan to give up. After all, the calf is a gift from Luo Lei, and it is also one of our family’s labors. In winter, I plan to rely on it to move firewood when there is not enough firewood. Wild sheep, its milk is a good thing for calcium supplementation in winter. In order for the wild sheep to stay quietly, of course the two lambs were also kept, but they were not allowed to drink the ewe's milk, separated them from the ewe a little bit, and fed them to graze. I think if they are not eaten in winter, next year may be my first batch of livestock.

Because we were planning to eat alone and stocked a lot of things, we had to dismantle our big tent into the cave in the end.

On the mountainside behind the tribe, the cave is a big gourd-shaped stone cave. The entrance is about 89 meters wide and about five or six meters high. After entering, there is a relatively spacious egg-shaped hall, which is about a hundred square meters. Going in is a large oblate stone cave with a size of four to five hundred square meters. The cave is relatively neat as a whole, and some of the more dangerous places are still supported by wood. It can be seen that the clan has maintained the cave.

In the past, tribesmen would usually put tents around this big cave, and then make a uniform fire in the middle to make food, which was warm and there was enough space. Because the clan will send people to set fires and clean up before they come in, the cave is still clean, but the lighting is not ideal. The daylighting of the egg-shaped tunnel is better, probably because it is a tunnel. In fact, apart from a slight opening on both sides, only the upper stone cornices are covered. The large cave inside can only be covered by the entrance part. In light, it appears darker.

I brought too many things and brought living things into the cave. In addition, we were eating alone. I asked Luo Lei to apply for the patriarch. We set up the tent in the spacious hall, which occupies a relatively large hall. On one side, the smaller side is reserved for male fire guards on duty. The calf was tied to the side of the cave where we stacked a lot of firewood. To prevent it from freezing, I also put a piece of animal skin on the calf. There are a few sheep in a large wooden cage nearby, and a lot of hay is spread in the wooden cage. Next to it is our tent.

Now that I had made up my mind to build a house next year, I asked Luo Lei to put his small tent and my big tent together into a bigger tent. Luo Lei slept on the bed I made, and he couldn't stretch out his arms and legs, but if my tent had a larger simple wooden bed, it would not fit those stone pots and pots. The two tents are put together, and the space is larger. Luo Lei's movements are very fast and his work is very delicate. He quickly set up the expanded tent and brought in the bed he made.

Luo Lei has become accustomed to sleeping in the same bed with me, because it gets cold in winter, and I will squeeze with him, after all, it makes me uncomfortable. The winter here makes me feel a bit like an ice age. Of course, it should not be that serious. It's just that for people who are used to working in air conditioners in down jackets, the coldness makes me psychologically unbearable. And Luo Lei's body is very warm, if we sleep together, we can put two animal skin blankets together. It's twice as warm, maybe it's my psychological.

A row of wooden shelves and wooden boxes are placed on the wall of our tent. A lot of meat is placed or hung on it. There are also a lot of food in the wooden boxes. I believe it will be enough for me and Luo Lei for three months. In winter, we hide. In fact, the time in the cave is generally only two months, so we don't have to be afraid of any changes. That bed played a big role in winter when we usually don’t go out. We put it next to the stone basin where the fire was made throughout the winter, and covered it with hay and animal skins. It can be used as a stool or as a bed when we sleep. , It is relatively comfortable. The female of the patriarch and the two of Xin Mu's family also found it once when they came, yelling that when spring comes, they also want to make one, I naturally agree.

After the whole clan moved in, the clan organized the males to block half of the entrance with a few large stones about two to three meters high, leaving only the half of the gap near the narrower tunnel with logs tied together. Blocked, you need to find a few males to move the log away or climb on top of the stone to pass. Our firewood and hay for cattle and sheep are piled behind those stones, and a whole pile is almost close to the top of the cave. Because the stones and logs blocking the entrance are not high, it doesn't affect the daylighting. Instead, it blocks the wind for us who have pitched a tent behind the stones.

Given that we occupy the position of the exit, I also offered to move water for the people in the clan. It just so happened that within a few days of moving in, there was a lot of snow outside. The people were naturally very happy. After all, it was not easy to carry water or smash the ice outside from the warm fire. I live on the outside side anyway, but I don't care.

Two days before we moved in, Luo Lei and I climbed from the stone blocking the entrance to the outside for a patrol. The two of us cooperated and shot a lot of prey, which also allowed the tribe to share some fresh meat. Later, after it snowed, it was too cold, so we studied how to make boots in the tent. Of course, I said that Luo Lei did. In fact, I also made a pair of wooden clogs before, but it is very simple, and it is not bad to wear in winter, it is too cold. Now I plan to make two pairs of animal skin boots.

Luo Lei is really very smart, even among other people with the same ingenuity, he is absolutely outstanding. As long as I describe my own ideas to him, he can do it well. So I asked him to cut me two wooden boards about three centimeters thick according to his feet slightly larger. Of course, the boards were made of softer and lighter wood, otherwise it would be difficult to cut. After it was cut, he was asked to trim one side to fit the shape of the foot a little, and on the back, some notches were evenly carved to increase the friction and reduce the weight. Then he placed it under his feet and scratched him with charcoal. For the foot shape, I used a homemade stone drill to drill some holes in the charcoal thread. After two days or so, the sole finally succeeded. I used the rabbit skin that Lore prepared after killing the rabbit last time to sew two layers of shoe soles.

When Luo Lei made the wooden soles, I also used a thick layer of furry rabbit leather to make the uppers. Of course, I can’t expect my needlework, but it’s better than others. Making changes while making molds, and Loley is not picky. In order to keep warm, I made long boots, and the boots were relatively tall. I was afraid that he would not be able to wear them in case of a change in shape. I also made lace-up boots. After the upper and the tube were finished, I used the kneaded linen thread to sew again and again several times to firmly sew the upper and the tube together. The finished original boots were a bit like Eskimo boots. However, it is also suitable to wear in such cold winters.

Luo Lei was a little uncomfortable when he just put it on, but I forced him to wear it. After a day or two, he got used to it. He felt that his body became warmer. I looked at him proudly. Of course, as the old saying goes, Han Cong. The soles of the feet are born.

It took two days and we made a pair of boots for myself. When we wore them together while standing by the brazier, Lore actually lifted me up, but it scared me enough. I or the transportation I took I was also flustered when I left the ground. Fortunately, he put me down just for a while, and then hugged me tightly.

I always think he is like a large pet, okay, although this pet is sometimes fierce, for example, when I want to instigate him to sneak out, such as when I can’t fall asleep or wake up with uncut nails on him When drawing the doji. I told him that I was zinc deficient, so I had ADHD, he glared at me, pressed me into his arms and let me sleep. He has become more and more accustomed to holding me to sleep, and he likes to use four feet to lock me in his arms. Sometimes I feel like a ghost presses the bed. But I dare not tell him that I think he is a ghost press. He must not understand and continue to ignore it, maybe even angry. And I am also used to sleeping with a warm person behind me. Maybe it is too cold in autumn and winter.

Since Lorei, I have found that I don't need to do many things, just instruct him. But before I moved in in winter, I almost did the work of drying and curing meat and storing grains, so that Luo Lei would make me a pair of stone mills, two stone pots, a stone pill, and a pile of wood. Before moving to the cave, I used twenty kilograms of rapeseed to manually squeeze some vegetable oil. Rapeseed is steamed and pounded. The oily residue is relatively large and the oil yield is average. Fortunately, Luo Lei is strong. If it were me, it is estimated that half of the oil can not be produced.

The two little wild boars were fattened by me. When I killed the wild boar, I didn't ask for lean meat, so I picked up the fat and collected it. I fry a small pot of oil, which is estimated to be several kilograms. About ten kilograms of vegetable oil is stored in bamboo pots, plus a small pot of wild lard oil, save a little, and winter should not be too sad.

In order to treat Laurore, I ground some flour and fry some coarse bread the day after I finished making the shoes. Although it's not a good thing, this scent still attracted a few more lively children in the clan, followed by their apologetic parents. Little children are more unafraid, so they opened the curtain of the tent and asked, "Pad Lore, what is Anoa doing to make delicious?"

While their parents pulled them back apologetically, they also showed a hint of greedy. So, I had to give a small piece of fried noodles to all the people in the clan, and used almost all the wild boar oil and the wild eggs, wild duck eggs, and wild goose eggs I stored, which made me sad.

When he was ordered to deliver small noodles to the tribe with the children, the air pressure on Luo Lei's body seemed happier every time he came back. Later I thought he even had a smile, and his eyes couldn't hide the joy and pride. .

Well, I decided to bear with it.

The patriarch’s female and Aman automatically came to help when I was planning to make a piece of dough for the people of the tribe. They were surprised when they looked at the stone mill and looked at the wheat. They were amazed while doing things without delay. .

Before leaving, the female of the patriarch took my hand but said nothing. I have a feeling that my mother-in-law treats my daughter-in-law, and I despise my powerful brain tonic function in my heart.

In order to ensure the air in the cave, the tribe will go to the toilet outside the cave entrance even if it is cold, and then cover it with mud and snow, but the buttocks will be cold. Especially if you accidentally touch the snow, you will feel that your buttocks are frozen. I really hate this feeling, and when I shave my **** with a broken wooden stick, my **** hurts. I miss paper very much, even scratch paper. But I only have a rough impression of hand-made paper, and I don’t know when it will succeed.

Because my idea has brought many benefits and surprises to everyone, I decided to strike the iron while it was hot to get things done in the house, so I told the patriarch and the high priest after moving the ice cubes for everyone one day, I plan to wait for spring to come. Build a wooden house in the tribe, and you don’t need to move to the cave in the winter, you can stay at home. It is also more convenient to raise animals after being fixed, and avoid bringing them into the hole for fear of being unclean.

Although surprised, the patriarch and the high priest also agreed. Even the clan decided to help me build a house according to my idea after the beginning of the spring. If it is done well, the whole clan will be made a wooden house in the summer. People in the clan found it strange, but they all agreed.

Luo Lei always stood by my side, listening to me carefully. As soon as I got back in our tent, I started asking me how to build it and what to do. I am very happy that he has such enthusiasm, and I probably told him about my ideas. He listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time. It also opened up ideas for me. He seemed to want spring to come quickly so that he could go out and build a house quickly. I told him that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he asked me what tofu is. Suddenly I felt that I was quite stupid, so I had to foolishly say that this is a kind of food dedicated to the gods, white and tender. He looked confused, so I had to smile and tell him that we will also cook and eat if we have the opportunity in the future. He asked me worriedly, can we also eat the food of God? Of course I fooled him again, but maybe it was because of the gods, he didn't despise me and made me secretly happy for a long time.

I have become accustomed to when Luo Lei sits in front of the brazier doing things, lying on the bed behind him and wandering in the sky, Luo Lei is also used to it, always sitting quietly and doing things in his hand, letting me poke behind him. Poke, or play with his hair. Fortunately, he usually doesn't have a tail, otherwise I would probably play with his tail, even if the lion's tail can't be touched (Lorley: I have something else, do you want to play with it?) .

By the way, I also taught him some hieroglyphs, such as the sun, the moon, and fire. He soon let me, a teacher who is not good at learning, has nothing to teach, so he can only send him to think about it. Later, he came up with a simple set of words, which of course is something to be followed.
