Orcs’ Time Through Time

In the past few days, I have also discovered that although the day is divided into morning, afternoon and evening, the year is roughly divided into twelve months, and each month has about 30 days. But obviously the day here is longer than our original day. I did a simple water leak and measured it a few days ago. About one day and night here is equivalent to the original forty hours. Of course, this number is not accurate. , But this discovery made me quite happy. After all, the progress of human society is lack of time.

I like the simple interpersonal relationship and purer competition here. To live a good life here requires more time and strength. My body is destined to not have the power to oppose those males, but I have more insights than them, plus time, may not be better than others, but there is always the opportunity to live more simply, From the tribe to the salt cave where you can get rock salt, you basically walk from the foot of this mountain to the side of the next mountain. It looks very close, but it takes some time to walk.

Looking along the way, I also found a lot of things. Among them, a large plant with leaves resembling potatoes found in the foothills of the mountain not far behind the tribe. The roots underneath are also like potatoes, but bigger. If it were wild, it should not have been so big, even bigger than our hybrid potatoes, one is estimated to be more than half a catty.

However, people in this world are also relatively large. Males generally have a length of more than 1.9 meters, such as the patriarch and Luo Lei's father and son, which should be two meters visually. Even if it is a thin female of mine, it is estimated to be between 1.7 and 1.75 meters. So size should not be a problem. When I cut it and smell it, the taste is also the taste of potatoes. I don’t know how it tastes. Moreover, this plant actually grows roots on every branch like ours, and then gradually extends. I guess this large piece is actually not A few original plants, just one or two spread. Because I was not sure, I only dug a few and threw them in the animal skin bags, planning to take them home and cook them for food. After all, there is no one to dig such a large piece of grain here, which is a bit strange. In fact, there are quite a lot of wild boars in these primitive mountains. I will call them potatoes for the time being. This potato can grow so well. It is probably the blessing of the hunters in the tribe to clean up.

There is also a small piece of plant on the sandy soil on the side of the second mountain and a protruding rock a little far from the road that looks like a sweet potato. I can bet this is sweet potato or sweet potato in our sense, because I I have dug out and eaten it, and there is no adverse reaction after eating, because it is a sweet potato that grows on the sand, it tastes good, the one is quite big, one is estimated to be about a catty, I plan to come back later when I return. Dig some back.

If I want to eat wild fruits or always eat salted meat, I might as well eat sweet potatoes, and I don’t like fruits. And sweet potato is also a good thing, it is good for digestion, just one piece, and it is very full. This surprised me a little bit. In my memory, wild sweet potatoes and potatoes did not come from the same continent, but now I saw these two things on two hills not far apart, and I had to marvel at this world. Wonderful, it also made me realize more deeply that I really should not be on the earth anymore.

According to impressions, in general, most of the animals and plants in this world are still similar to the earth, although their sizes are different. Except for the creatures that can only be seen in the biology book or the magical creatures that appear in the hybridization of several kinds of creatures, they are basically not beyond the scope of imagination, so they haven't caused me too much shock and anxiety. However, those strange beasts that have never been seen before, here are the great dangers facing mankind.

However, this also allows me to understand why the males here have the ability to transform. After all, humans are too weak to deal with the strange beasts such as the tooth-toothed mammoth and the tooth-eating rhinoceros, even after transforming. However, it is almost impossible for a male to deal with a toothed mammoth or a toothed rhinoceros.

It's like Arnold's Abba, as the number one hunter in the clan at the time, besides the patriarch, he was injured to the extent that he could not even maintain a semi-beast shape and it delayed time. Even if it is to deal with a wild boar here, the male after transformation will not dare to fight alone, let alone a person without transformation, it will almost die as easy as crushing an ant.

The tribe moved here from the other end of the mountain more than ten years ago. Earlier, it is said that it was over the mountain from the other end of the mountain. When the prey on the other side of the mountain was getting less and less, the entire tribe began to relocate, and walked to this place backed by the hills and sitting on the vast plain, and found a large salt cave nearby, and chose the more terrain at the foot of the mountain. I settled down on a high terrace.

The tribe is located on the west side of a large valley and a plain surrounded by a large hill, with a gentle **** on the back and gradually deepening into the vast hills, the extreme distance is the towering mountains, and the downward is endless. A gradual downward slope, on the right side of the tribe is an endless plain extending from the hills. There are also small clumps of trees and many plants on the slopes and plains. Looking down from the mountainside, next to the tribe, there is a small stream flowing down from the mountain behind the tribe. Although the long river is said to be a small river, visually it is about 20 to 30 meters wide, plus the beach next to it. The wider area is estimated to be about 40 to 50 meters. The female without wings, boats and bridges is estimated to rely on herself. It is difficult to reach the opposite shore.

Not to mention that the plain on the opposite side of the river cannot be seen at a glance, even the **** and plain on the right side of the tribe is very vast. If it is on the earth, it is estimated that a medium-sized town can be built. To the northeast of the tribe is a large lake. The lake extends to the foot of the mountain range. In the mountain range to the east, there is a small river that runs into the lake. However, I heard that the short river is much narrower, about five or six meters wide. From here, Danhe is of course very thin.

After the two rivers meet at the lake, they drift away gradually through the river flowing from the lake to the northeast. In the delta between the short river and that river, there are said to be aquatic people who can beastized with fins and use fish in the water as their main food. The upper reaches of the short river is said to be inhabited by a clan who cannot fly but is very skilled. However, like the aquarium, they generally do not cross the short river.

Surrounded by mountains and separated by long rivers, lakes and short rivers from the vast plains on the opposite side, this large area of ​​slopes and plains is our tribe. It can be said that this large area of ​​valley is our tribe’s territory. It is estimated that there are about 100 Come square kilometers, but even so, the range of activity of the females of our tribe is still small and pitiful.

I have also wondered why people here don’t go fishing, but by visual inspection, it is estimated that it will be more than 20 kilometers from the tribe downhill to the lake. Even if you walk straight to the river, it will take about seven or eight kilometers. And there are many buffalo herds on the slopes and plains. I heard that primitive cattle are as big as elephants. Big wild sheep are basically the size of domestic calves. Look at the size of the people here and then guess what's here. The original cattle and wild sheep can think of how dangerous it is to walk alone on this land without guns and the like. For so many years, the hunters in the tribe have made it easy for them to be wary of humans. Although they will not actively attack the tribe, one person accidentally hits them, even if it is too late to run.

Although these are prey for males, they have wings to fly, but for females who cannot transform and have no weapons, they are definitely a lethal threat. Therefore, few females will cross slopes and plains to rivers or lakes. go with. And if the males don’t hunt deer and wild boars on the mountains, or catch the wild cattle and wild sheep on the plains, go to the rivers to fish for fish, they don’t know what kind of males are good for flying in the sky and swimming in the water. That said, it seems that hunting is much better. Besides, most of the animal forms of the wing tribe are tigers, lions, wolves, and leopards. If tigers and lions, wolves, and leopards choose between eating fish or eating red meat, I guess they will also choose to hunt. of.

When I stand on the mountainside and look into the distance, I have a feeling of pride—this may be the starting point of the empire between me and my descendants. Of course, the premise is that I can get along and have descendants, and my descendants must have Talent and opportunity are not easy to put together, so it's just a moment of pride.

After walking along the mountain diagonally upwards for an estimated two or three hours, I realized that I had gradually deviated from the planned route. I promised the patriarch to rush back as soon as possible. Although I didn’t think it had anything to do with it, I didn’t want to start at the beginning. To give people a bad impression, they still go back on the road to picking salt.

Halfway through, I found a small bunch of **** stuff. At least the appearance of the leaves and stems and the smell told me, although such a large piece of **** is rare. I didn't care if it was right or not. I pulled out a few of them and wrapped them in a few leaves and threw them in an animal skin bag.

I also picked some leaves that looked like poison ivy. Of course, this is not for eating. Although the mosquitoes here have not evolved poison, they are quite annoying. There are other insects, and I plan to keep them at home. In fact, it would be better if you could find pyrethrum, but now it is probably like the end of August, and it is estimated that there are no more pyrethrum flowers, which is more difficult to find.

When I passed a small forest, I saw a small group of pheasants. Probably the threats they have always faced come from creatures that can fly or climb trees. They didn’t even react to me walking like this. I I used seven arrows one after another and hit three, each weighing about four or five catties. The results are already gratifying. In my impression, this is probably the biggest gain among the females in the tribe—in just a few days, I have adapted to my female identity. It can be seen that too strong adaptability is also terrible. .

However, the endurance of this body is not very good. It is estimated that it is only slightly better than my long-term sub-healthy body in the past. Therefore, I estimated that in order to dig sweet potatoes when I came back, I did not carry a lot of salt. . Three or four catties of salt is enough for me to eat for a few months by myself. Even if I want to start making bacon during this time, a few catties of salt is enough for an emergency situation, plus about seven or eight catties for the family. What's more, I plan to come out every few days. Put the shoveled salt into a separate animal skin bag, and ate a few sticks of dried meat to replenish my strength, and I set off on my return journey.

There is not much salt on the back, so it is easier to walk. When I arrived at the sweet potato field, I found a few more hares, and these rabbits were all quite big. The big ones are estimated to be ten kilograms. Four arrows were used this time, but only one rabbit was caught, which is estimated to be eight or nine catties. Rabbit meat tastes good, and the skin can also be used.

I plan to come here to set up traps next time. When I thought about it this way, I dug a few small traps by digging holes in sweet potatoes because sandy soil is easier to dig, so I dug three or four after a short time. For the fifty centimeter high trap, I picked up a few small wooden sticks in the nearby woods and put them on the sticks, and then spread the leaves from the dug out sweet potatoes on the wooden sticks. I carried today's harvest and walked back.

These things, plus the food distributed by the clan, are basically enough for me to eat for two or three days. So if Loray brings meat today, please ask him to bring it back. You can’t always let others save it to me, who It's not easy. If he wants, I can also ask him to eat some sweet potatoes or something, which can be regarded as a gratitude to him.

When I was approaching the foothills of the tribe, I suddenly heard some noise in the grass on the side of the road. I quietly untied the bag containing ten catties of sweet potatoes and several catties of potatoes, three pheasants and a hare hanging. On the one hand, I planned to run away if the situation was not good, and calmed down again, holding the crossbow tied around the waist with animal skins in one hand, and the long branch that had been broken off from the tree next to him, and looked aside, only to realize that it was. The two little wild boars, said to be small wild boars, are actually not too small. They are bigger than the domestic pigs I expected for about half a year, but judging from the fur, they should look like they have not been weaned.

They arched back and forth in the grass, and grinned at me when they saw that the grass was pushed aside. It's a pity that if it's a big wild boar or other large beasts, maybe I will run away, but for the two little wild boars that have not been weaned, I thought about catching them.

When the two little wild boars ran towards me one after the other, I quickly took the animal skin bag with salt in my hand, and when one rushed over, I slammed the salt bag in my hand. Its forehead smashed over. Although the salt in it was not heavy, the speed at which it rushed forward, plus the strength of my throwing the salt bag over, made the little wild boar faint. Another little wild boar that I dodge, and then ran for a while before stopping, panting and making a sharp cry at me, it wanted to scare me away, because of this time interval, I have stabilized my mind , Just wait for it to rush over again.

This time, the little wild boar was left alone, as if he had made up his mind, and finally rushed forward after I confronted it for a while. It’s a pity that it’s still too small now. The salt bag in my hand that was not hit by its brother (or sister) applied some force to its head. When I smashed it over, it ran into the bag as expected. Naturally It also fell down, and it took a while to slow down.

I cut a section from the animal skin rope wrapped around my hand and **** the front feet of the two little wild boars, leaving only the hind legs to walk. Drag the little wild boar back to the tribe...

It was already in the afternoon when I returned to the tribe. All the hunters who went out hunting in the tribe came back. Almost all the people who fell were gathered in the square in the center of the tribe to distribute today's prey. There was a lot of people, and it was very lively. When they found me, the people who talked loudly lowered their voices, looking at me a little at a loss, and some even quietly pointed to Luo Lei, Luo Lie standing beside the patriarch, and Luo Lie standing beside him. A Xing by the side.

The patriarch was dividing today’s prey. He was a little surprised and angry when he saw me. He stopped his movements and said, "How come back? Nothing, right?"

I heard that the patriarch had a very good relationship with Arnold’s Abba in the past, and he loved his brothers, and because Arnold’s Abba was injured and died because he saved Luo Lie, he has been very guilty of both Arnold and his Ahma since then. For so many years, he really took care of Arnold as his own child, and often saved his own food to send to Arnold and him.

So I smiled, took off the salt bag on my back and took out half: "It's okay, the patriarch, this is the salt for the clan." According to the rules, anyone who carries salt by himself should give half of the back to the clan. Here, I have no opinion on this. There is a big wild boar assigned to the prey in the clan, and I suddenly thought that this might be the mother of these two little wild boars, and that's how these two little wild boars might have followed.

My prey was originally not involved in the distribution, but I still took in my hands the two screaming little wild boars that had been ravaged by me, and the pheasants and hares hanging on my shoulders and placed them in front of the patriarch: " I caught two little wild boars on the road, and also hit three pheasants and a rabbit. What do you think of the patriarch?"

When I saw the little wild boar, pheasant, and rabbit, everyone in the clan was surprised, and some of them were a little bit envious. After all, there has never been a female against a wild boar, even a small one. They run very fast, it is not easy to catch them, and it would be terrible if they were accidentally arched. As for pheasants, they can fly. Females who can only run on the ground are naturally difficult to catch.

Of course, I wouldn’t say that it’s because these males are too protective of females that they can’t even do this. After all, not everyone travels through the crowd, and because there are inherently fewer females than males. The birth rate of females is lower than that of males, but the mortality rate is higher. They also shoulder the task of reproducing and growing the population. It is natural that it is more precious. So, I just lowered my head, the clan will give me meat, and I still have more than ten kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes on my back. It is good for the clan to give everyone a better impression. After all, I will be in the future. In this tribe, rely on this tribe to survive.

The patriarch was also surprised and asked: "Did you catch this yourself?"

I nodded: "Yeah. Good luck today."

Perhaps it was because I didn’t want to say more, and the patriarch didn’t ask any more. My prey was originally mine. Now I’m willing to take it out. He naturally expressed his happiness, and then said to me, “This wild boar is still small. Pigs, there’s not much meat if you divide them. You beat the pheasants and hares. There has never been a female harvest in our clan. According to reason, all your prey should belong to you, so I will continue to distribute these to you. , But because you have your own prey today, and you have only one person, in order to take care of other people, the prey allocated to you today will be reduced by half. Are you willing?"

Half of the prey is given to me. My own prey belongs to me. I can still eat enough. So I nodded and agreed. Seeing that I agreed, the patriarch asked the other tribesmen: "Do you all agree?" "

Some people in the clan were a little surprised, and others whispered how to let females hunt on their own and reduce the food of others (mostly males), of course, there is also a small envy that I can catch such a big rabbit and two small wild boars ( Most of them are females), but in terms of the total amount, I don't have a small score. Of course, as a female, I don't have the advantage of other people in the Cham clan, and I even transfer what I deserve to everyone. So basically they nodded.

The patriarch cut a small piece of wild boar and another small piece of wild beef, weighed it on the big balance in the middle, and handed it to me. I also thought about the method used by the patriarch here to distinguish these things clearly, although I also know that there are also their own metrics here. When I actually saw it, I discovered that the wisdom of the primitive people here is not to be taken lightly. They made a balance out of stone and animal skins. One side of the balance is placed on the scale, and the other side is a few pieces of the same size that have been cut. There are some stones of standard sizes next to them.

I observed it later and found that the big weight is exactly the weight of ten small stones, and the weight of one small stone is about the same as the one kilogram we usually use. It is probably a little heavier, more than 500 grams, probably because their measurement did not. The method is very standard. But this coincidence still makes me very happy. After all, it is better to let me use other measurement units than the one I am used to. But here is called Yiji. It is said that they measured this standard by using a stone pan with water. However, because the sound of Ji and Jin are similar, in the end everyone called Jin together with me.

These two pieces of meat together are about three kilograms or more, which is considered the food I got today. I took it with both hands, and nodded to the surrounding clansmen who were whispering, and planned to go back with my harvest.
