Orcs’ Time Through Time
Chapter 35: Hard winter, help each other
Luo Lei is also very worried about the current situation. I have discussed with the high priest several times why this winter has not passed for so long, and I went out to check the Great Plains and the other side of the river several times. Every time I came back, the expression on his face became more solemn. Occasionally, I went to the ground with him to see how thick the frozen soil was, and often received bad news.
Although everyone in the tribe didn't know what the high priest had said, there was no restlessness for the time being. But occasionally from the attitude that everyone dare not say much, you can still feel everyone's anxiety.
In January, the snow was still half a foot high. Sometimes when they got up in the morning and opened the door, they could even see the snow collapsing from the doorway into the house. The clean snow can melt in the past year to February, and now from the gate of the tribe, the big plain is still white and yellow. If you go out to the plain outside, you will easily slip to the ground with a chuckle.
From December to January, every day, everyone can see that the trees in the back hill of the tribe are broken and inclined, and the forests they see change every day. Several trees left in the tribe were also broken. Fortunately, everyone was in the house and no one was hurt, but it was scary enough.
I originally planned to start planting soybeans at the beginning of March this year so that we can have enough time to plant rapeseed, barley, wheat, potatoes, cotton and sweet potatoes in sequence, staggering the planting time, but it seems that it is completely impossible.
February is about to pass, and the land has not been thawed yet, let alone turning over the land. Even if we forcefully turn the ground, it is still a question of whether the seeds planted at that time can survive.
If the planting of this season is delayed and it will be delayed even later, I am afraid that there will be insufficient rain or insufficient rain, and next year’s harvest will become a problem.
Seeing Luo Lei's increasingly anxious face and the two children in the family looking a little uneasy, I began to consider whether to raise seedlings.
In fact, I don't know much about seedling cultivation, and modern seedling cultivation uses greenhouses and plastic mulch. It is neither possible to build greenhouses nor to have mulch.
All you can use are primitive methods, and besides finding suitable tools, natural conditions are also very important.
I started looking for dry ferns in the back mountains. In the past, many ferns were used as firewood. In fact, the ferns also have another function, which is to keep warm and moisturize. In the country, when green onions and calculations were distributed at home, a layer of withered fern leaves would be spread on it. Of course, the practical hay is also OK, but now hay is not something that we can use casually. We don’t know how long the weather will last, and we don’t know if the hay we prepare will be insufficient. We must use it sparingly.
Luo Lei was very worried about my going to the back mountain. He was always worried about whether the tree would fall on my head or something.
Although I don't believe I will be so unlucky, but he is willing to follow me, I am still very happy. It happens that in winter, everyone doesn't have so much to do. Someone helps me carry a bamboo basket and follow me behind my back and pay attention to my every move. I am still very useful.
I wanted to mobilize everyone in the clan to collect dead fern leaves. However, if I can't tell why, or my experiment fails to succeed, I don't seem to make everyone consume too much labor. So the preliminary collection work is still done by me and Luo Lei. As for the feeding of those animals at home, it fell to Rona.
Fortunately, there are not many dead fern leaves needed for the experiment. After a few days of collecting, we collected enough dead fern leaves.
As the weather started to clear in early March, although the frozen soil layer in the ground was still relatively thick, it was not suitable to open the ground for sowing. I still boiled almost hot water, put the hot water into the cold water, let the hot water quickly cool down to room temperature, soaked some of the rapeseeds left at home in this active water for one night, then planted them in I asked Luo Lei to make a wooden seedling tray.
The seedling tray we made is not as exquisite and easy to use as modern plastic seedling trays. It is just a wooden basin with a smaller wooden tray with many holes drilled on it. It took Lore a lot of time just to drill these holes.
After the nursery tray is ready, I now spread a layer of loose loam dug in the backyard on the nursery tray, and then put the soaked **** seeds into the nursery tray, and then put a layer of loam on the top. The large seedling plate with no holes is also covered with soil about a few centimeters thick. Just digging these loamy soil makes Lore tired enough, because the frozen soil layer is still thicker now. The hoes I made with us are hard to dig. It takes a lot of effort to dig. There are not a lot of them. If you dig after burning on it, it will be easier to dig, but it will consume a lot of firewood, which is not realistic. So Luo Lei almost used a lot of energy to dig out the soil that was not enough for our three seedlings. However, as soon as I said that I came, Luo Lei hurriedly stopped me, which moved me more and hoped that this experiment would be successful.
After planting the soaked **** seeds into the seedling tray, I spread a layer of dried fern leaves on it, and then watered it thoroughly.
Every morning, the first thing I do is to see how the weather is today, and then move the seedling tray out to bask in the sun when the sun is up and the temperature rises. After the sun went down, I hurried home to move the seedling pan into the hall.
In mid-March, the permafrost layer had become thinner, and although no grass buds had emerged yet, it could be considered as starting to plow. However, this is also about a month later than last year. I don't know how this year's harvest will be.
At the end of March, we finally planted soybeans in the ground. Fortunately, in mid-March, the rapeseeds I raised also sprouted. I also mobilized the people of the tribe to start growing barley and wheat seedlings.
Although the planting of soybeans and rapeseed was delayed by about a month, fortunately, barley and wheat still caught up with the planting time.
It's just that during this time, everyone is really exhausted. They have to rush to grow soybeans and rapeseed, and they have to breed barley and wheat. Everyone can't wait for a few people to come. However, everyone was relieved to be able to make up for everything.
Because there were no grass buds coming out in March, there were hardly any buffalo and wild sheep nearby. I don't know where they are hiding. Although we still stored meat last year according to the needs of previous years, because we still have barley and wheat flour, we cook wheat glutinous rice cakes, wheat porridge and so on, and they can fill our stomachs, but there is no such thing as personal hunger and hunger as in previous years. Even, the clan killed several rabbits, and everyone was assigned half a rabbit. You can also eat fresh meat in winter. Even if the winter is extended by one month, everyone can eat enough. It also makes everyone feel the importance of planting and breeding.
In February, our downstream aquarists came to our group to borrow food, saying that their storage had been eaten up, and the river water had not melted, so they came to borrow some food, after the river thaw, they were willing to double The fish will come back to us.
Although I think that lending them food is just raising a group of guys who don't know if they are friends or enemies. However, in view of the fact that distant relatives are not as good as neighbors, the principle of preventing rabbits from biting people in a hurry. After discussing with the clan, we still raised fish in our own pond, fished out any larger ones and let them take them back.
Because I dug the pond myself, the water is not very deep, and the ice is not that thick compared to the ice in the river. And the difference between us and the aquarium is that we don't go into the water to catch fish.
Luo Lei took a dozen males, weaved a big net, and collected the net several times. He also collected about 7,000 catties of fish. People in their clan are less than 70, and each person eats an average of ten catties of fish a day, removing the bones, which is enough for them to eat for ten days. And now is a difficult time, everyone is a little frugal, it is estimated that you can still eat for more than 20 days.
The Shui people have also seen it. We have given them all the fish in the clan, and there is nothing to say. It’s just that we dig ponds to raise fish, planting and raising fish.
However, although they were surprised, they didn't ask much. Even if they ask, no one in the clan will tell them.
In March, we almost didn't expect the aquarium to return our food, and we didn't care. After all, their main food is fish. But our main food is meat. Even if they give us double the fish, it is just icing on the cake for us. And when we loaned them fish, it was a gift in the snow.
Moreover, the Sanyue River has just thawed, and we don’t even know if they can eat enough. As for them to pay back the fish, we are not in a hurry.
What we didn't expect was that in mid-March, when the climate was slightly warmer, the Shuizu had already sent people to send us fish.
Although it is once every two days and not many times each time, they did say that they will return us twice as much fish as agreed, and thank us for our help.
Although everyone in the clan thinks that what they borrowed is only seven thousand catties of fish, they only need to repay us according to the amount borrowed, and their life is more difficult than ours, enough to see the kindness of everyone in the clan. But for me, they also doubled, and it doesn't matter to me. After all, they borrowed live fish, and now they are returning dead fish. This is not the same.
Live fish are in our pond. We want to eat them at any time, and we are not eager to kill them. They can thrive in the pond. Dead fish, we can only make it into dried fish or directly grilled fish and eat it. In fact, it is even less worthwhile for us. Although, I have already planned to wait for the weather to get better before catching some fish and putting them in the pond of the clan. Fully prepared, no matter when you are always prepared.
However, for the aquariums who have gone fishing to survive in such cold weather and strictly abide by the agreement, I have a better impression of them.
It’s just that March has passed. At the beginning of April, when we were busy transplanting wheat, we saw the aquatic man who was responsible for escorting the food returned to us came to our gate in embarrassment, and this time, he There is no clansman carrying the fish returned to us, but a man in ragged clothes, tired and anxious...
Extraordinary One: Something Arnold didn’t want to mention
This is the first time that he has been in bed, and even Arnold can't remember it. It seems that he hasn't been here long? It seems to be very far away. He can't remember clearly.
When did it start? Living together so naturally, and then living together so naturally, falling asleep with such a hug, warm, soft, and addictive.
I vaguely remember that every winter here was spent like this, in Luo Lei’s arms, warm and calm, relying on the temperature he gave, in such a cold and scarce winter, through every thought When I get up, my teeth are rattling at night.
This winter is still cold. However, since a few days ago, Arnold had driven out the big warm stove. The reason is simple, the intention is bad!
Arnold lay on his own, listening to the soft knock outside the door. It is definitely not the two sons who will knock on the door at this time, because the two sons said goodbye to themselves after dinner, and then hid in the room. The atmosphere at home these days is weird. Both sons are After eating, I washed my face and rinsed my mouth, then I said goodbye to Abba, and went to bed honestly.
The voice outside the door knocking on the door gently, with a bit of grievance, a bit of pleading, and a bit of coquettishly calling "Arnold, Aranuo" was so familiar that Aranuo even thought of getting up and taking a look. No.
Arnold can't remember when he started to call Arnold, and he always remembered his name. But what's the use? No one will call here anymore. The person who called that name in the past is not intimate, but now, that name has nothing to do with him. What is this feeling? sad? Feeling? Relax? Nothing, just a daze, a daze that doesn't know how to think.
Perhaps, it was too cold today, so cold that I even forgot to think, just listening to the voice calling myself outside the door, as if, that is what I have in this world.
That idiot, just because of a little warmth, gave himself a lifetime commitment, what is it like? What is this person like who will endure for two years because of his discomfort and his own saying "too young"? What kind of person should he look like if he is considerate of his tired self, massages for himself, but bears himself to take a shower?
Why, always, still a little overwhelmed? How can I be willing to give up myself?
After a while, the sound of knocking at the door finally stopped, and Arnold was finally relieved. Although sometimes Luo Lei would knock on the door deliberately, but since he said about him last time, he hasn't done it anymore. .
However, if he sits at the door and sleeps until dawn as he did a few days ago, this kind of weather will definitely not be able to bear it, which makes Arnold a little worried. But when he thought of the consequences of his coming in, Arnold was a little uncertain about it. Although it has already been agreed, but when things come to an end, those who should retreat will still fight.
As time passed, the door became calmer and calmer. Lying on the bed, Arnold felt a little cold all over, perhaps because the big natural heater was not around.
Outside the window, there was the sound of falling snow, which made people feel even colder. This is the second heavy snowfall of the year. The icicles hanging on the eaves are already more than a foot long and **** thick. They are occasionally blown by the wind and fall into the snow, just like a sharp knife inserted into the ground. If you accidentally fall on your body, you will grin in pain.
It's such a cold day, if that guy is really waiting outside the door... When he thinks of this, Arnold's face turns blue.
When he was hesitating whether to go to see it, his feet were already involuntarily put on woolen slippers made of rabbit hair.
Standing at the door was a man holding a pot of burning firewood in a pottery pot. Although his face didn't have a lot of expression, the gentle angle of his mouth and the gentleness in his eyes were still so obvious.
Seeing the door opened, he stopped his hand that was about to knock on the door, and looked helplessly at this person who was half a head shorter than himself, gentle, but a little sad and helpless, as if he was helpless: "I want to call you. Take the brazier in, it’s too cold today. You’re afraid of the cold again.” Then, as if thinking of something, he moved his mouth to himself, as if he wanted to show a smile, but was still a little unaccustomed to pulling his face and holding his hand. The brazier in the room handed it over: "I won't go in, you take it in by yourself and sleep well."
It's such a man, it's this kind of warmth, so I can't refuse it. This kind of not knowing why, so that I do not know how to be good and gentle. Obviously he was at the door when it was not snowing a few days ago. Obviously... couldn't help it, Arnold tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Don't you keep guarding the gate today?"
The man was a little strange, "Huh?"
Arnold wanted to laugh when he saw how stupid he was, but just looked at the situation and held back.
The man is not really an idiot, he stammered and explained: "No, Arnold, I am not unwilling to guard, I am at the door, you can't sleep, it is too cold today, you should sleep well, don't catch a cold. Sorry, Arnold, I..."
Arnold wanted to laugh even more when he said that he was sorry. This kind of thing is just two fools who are willing to fight and suffer. If you are sorry, he did not take the brazier in his hand and asked: "Two Where is the small one?"
There are generally no door latches in the two smaller ones, just open the door. Therefore, Lore can give them a brazier first. Sure enough, Luo Lei nodded: "I just added a blanket to them. They were all asleep. They didn't dare to put the brazier for fear that it would burn badly. There should be no problem with the blanket, I'm afraid A Rui kicks the quilt. …"
Arnold nodded, indicating that he knew, "If Ari kicks the quilt, Rona will find it will cover him." He turned back to the room.
Looking at Arnold lying on the bed again and looking at the brazier in his hand, Luo Lei didn't understand what Arnold meant.
Sometimes it’s like this, I care too much, I don’t know what to do, do something stupid!
Arnold looked at Luo Lei stupidly holding the brazier standing at the door, and couldn't help blinking, then laughed, "Aren't you going to sleep? It's very cold today."
In this case, it was already the limit for Arnold, and for Luo Lei, why didn't he understand Arnold's move and the meaning of this sentence.
Holding the brazier, place the brazier under the bed closer to Arnold, and cover it with a larger pottery pot to prevent the fire from getting on the ground or animal skins, but the heat is still OK Pass it up. He lay on the side behind Arnold and hugged his body that he hadn't touched for several days.
When Arnold turned around, Luo Lei was flattered.
Looking at Arnold's drooping eyebrows and his face that was whiter and fresher than before, holding this person who was more gentle and calm over time and the past two years, Luo Lei couldn't help but lowered his head and gently I kissed Xiao Xiang's lips...
The slight itchy sensation brought by the careful touch and peck kiss made Arnold shrink a little. He had already turned around to face Luo Lei's body, but he was struggling to turn back. His brows began to frown slightly. Although he didn't speak, he could see that he was trying his best to endure it.
Although Luo Lei also wanted to love this partner who was eight years younger than him, he also understood that if there was no such first time, then the next time, he would not know when.
Who knows better than himself that his little partner seems soft and easy-going, and does not seem to care about anything, but who knows that it is because he doesn't care about anything? All he cares about is probably a good life, a carefree life.
At the beginning, he actually didn't care about himself. It should be said that he didn't care about others except himself. I don’t care who is responsible for him or who loves him. He just lives like that, living in his own needs. He, everyone, is nothing to him...
I don't remember when it started, I began to rely on him. Yes, dependence, although it sounds ridiculous. But in fact, who can appreciate his dependence on him? The dependence of a male on a female? No, maybe, it's a person who longs for and admires the kind of height that he can't reach.
I still remember his skinny and unspoken appearance when he was young, and he couldn't wait to hide when he saw anyone. What he did was told him to do what he did, and he had never seen him take the initiative to do anything. At that time, he was still his brother's fixed-term partner. But what no one expected was that such a person, in despair, would dare to run to the river and jump out of the river. At that time, it was not without pity for him. But I also remember that when he saw himself once, he screamed and ran away.
Really started to notice him because he promised to make a marriage with himself. How could someone who would scream and run away because he saw him washing his face have the courage to make a marriage with himself? So even if I agreed to Ah Ma's proposal, it was only to make Luo Lie's stupidity and ignorance, and it was only to make Abba and Ah Ma at ease. When I heard that he also agreed, I was surprised, and even went to take a look quietly.
The scene I saw at that time probably has been deeply imprinted in my mind. The Arnold, who could hardly be east without anyone calling, dragged his weak body, hummed an incomprehensible tone, carefully picked the wood behind the tent, and did not stop after entering the tent. What's going on.
At that time, it was not without doubt, because such an Arnold was too unexpected! However, this kind of Arnold, who has experienced the deaths of Abba and Ah Mo, lived alone and threw water into the water, maybe he should want to open it, otherwise, how is this world suitable for his survival?
Seeing Arnold cheering up, in addition to being happy for him, in fact, in my heart, he is also somewhat happy for himself, although it is impossible to thank Luo Lie for this matter. But to some extent, it was also because of the blow he gave Arnold that Arnold became mature and began to work hard to live for himself.
Seeing that he can only get that little food every day, and seeing his small body, it seems that the wind will blow away, plus he is now his future partner, and finally decided to give him some food every day. Although he doesn't have much food, for himself, eating more and less makes the difference, but if he can eat more, he will be full.
However, no matter what the time was, who would have thought that such Anuo would later lead his tribe to establish a new tribe, so that everyone in the tribe could eat and wear new clothes?
Although, he is no longer that Arnold...
Perhaps it was the kissing and touching that made Arnold unbearable, and he began to refuse. Luo Lei woke up from the memory and couldn't help but want to laugh-although he wanted to push himself away, this lovely partner, for his promise, Still enduring it as hard as possible.
Looking at his slightly squinted eyes, slightly frowned brows, slightly pursed lips, and slightly swollen cheeks because of his emotions, Luo Lei couldn't help but leaned down again. He kissed his slightly pursed lips, in exchange for a more cautious rejection.
Only this time, Luo Lei has made up his mind not to let him run away! If this continues, I don’t know what year or month it will be! Last time, when Bello heard that he was asking him this question, his eyes widened and he looked at himself suspiciously! As for Xin Mu, just ask yourself if he is incompetent? Every time I saw the Bello’s children, Xin Mu looked happy, and when he saw his two adopted children who kissed Arnold, Luo Lei felt like he was scratching his liver.
When the delicate kiss, from the forehead to the eyelids, from the bridge of the nose to the chin, passed through the trembling small Adam's apple, Luo Lei also took a prank bite, causing Arnold's body to tremble.
Grabbing Arnold's refusal hands with his right hand and pressing tightly, his left hand set fire everywhere on his body, and Luo Lei licked and kissed Arnold's body one after another. From the two points on the chest, to the sensitive belly button, little by little, as if to savor him carefully, everything was reluctant to let go.
Arnold gasped, shaking from time to time and strange feelings on his body, making him want to push the person away. But there is no way to refuse. He stretched his hands and couldn't escape from Luo Lei's right hand. At this time, he realized more deeply that the difference in the combat power between the two was so great, and he also realized how much Luo Lei endured for two years. easy…
Perhaps because of such thoughts, Arnold's refusal was finally no longer so obvious. Seeing Luo Lei who dropped soft kisses on him, and watching him teasing him like a treasure, Arnold suddenly felt a "just this" feeling.
Although he had given up struggling, when he really went in, Arnold's gasp sound from pain, and his hands holding on to the animal skins on the bed still made Luo Lei a little distressed.
Every time he went in, Luo Lei stopped and kissed Arnold's brows and eyes softly while comforting him softly, "It's okay, it'll be fine soon, it's okay".
Although he wanted to refute, or wanted him to try it on his own, looking at Luo Lei's worried and patient face, Arnold resisted the desire to complain, and instead reached out and grabbed Luo Lei's arm: " I'm fine...you...slow down...come in..."
With Arnold's encouragement, Luo Lei kissed his lover's forehead affectionately, while advancing slowly...
When they were completely inside, both of them were already sweating profusely.
However, Arnold knew that Luo Lei was very happy. From he tremblingly kissing himself, to his gentle eyes that almost make people afraid to look straight. This is probably the love of this man, Arnold thought.
When he really got used to it, Arnold couldn't help but laugh a little while looking at Luo Lei who hesitated to observe him. Gritting his teeth, enduring the feeling of fullness brought by the more obvious lower body because he was pulling Luo Lei's arm to do it, Arnold sat up and encircled the shoulders of Luo Lei who was sitting on his knees. In this way, it became the scene of Luo Lei sitting on his knees and Arnold sitting on his lap.
Although the feeling in the lower body is more obvious, Arnold still endured the feeling of not knowing what it was, buried his face in Luo Lei's arms, and said softly: "You... move..."
Like a devil, Luo Lei looked at the blushing cheeks in his arms, perhaps because of the heat, slightly sweaty on his forehead and body, usually a bit stubborn, and occasionally a bit bad-hearted face. At this moment, he looked a little weak, but it made people. Could not help but feel distressed.
When he twitched lightly, I saw that he tried his best to endure and didn't want to make any noise. Luo Lei couldn't help biting his earlobe: "It's okay, Arnold, it's okay..."
It's just that there is no response to such comfort. Arnold just tried to straighten up, put his head on Luo Lei's shoulder, and put his hands around Luo Lei's shoulder tightly, preventing Luo Lei from seeing any of his expressions...
And such a shy and avoidant attitude made Luo Lei even more excited. If it weren't for worrying that this was the first time, Luo Lei tried his best to warn himself to be patient and not hurt Arnold, and he still didn't know what would happen the next day.
But even so, when Luo Lei was released into Arnold's body, Arnold had already fainted.
Looking at the traces of bruises on Arnold with some pity, Luo Lei was actually a little regretful in his heart. I found a piece of cotton cloth, carefully wiped it clean for Arnold, put on another cotton pajamas, replaced the animal skins on the bed, put Arnold on the couch back into the quilt, and gave it to Arnold. Changed a brazier under the bed. Luo Lei then lay down on his own, and hugged Arnold, who had already fallen asleep without knowing where tonight, in his arms.
Seeing the person in his arms still frowning and seemingly uncomfortable face, Luo Lei couldn't say that he was distressed, and he couldn't help but kissed him a few more soft kisses, but it was probably because he was itchy and he was Arnold waved his hand several times.
Seeing that he didn't even wake up, but pouted, with an expression of "I'm not happy, don't touch me", Luo Lei involuntarily bent the corner of his mouth, pressed the person into his arms, and fell asleep deeply. go with…
