Orcs’ Time Through Time

While eating, while waiting for Mo Hei to pour the medicine into Hongda, the female still looked very confident. It’s just that I was a little anxious when I was eating, maybe I was really hungry, and eating two large bowls of miso soup and some barbecue seems not enough.

However, it seemed that his behavior was moderate. Even though he seemed to be very hungry, he never pushed himself too much. After eating two bowls of soup and a little bit of meat, he stopped.

I sat opposite him, watching everyone were busy with their own affairs, and asked Mohei, who had fed Hongda and took the medicine, to help patrol too. When not working, I went to help build a new ox cart frame, holding it in my hand. A log piece slowly cut a wheel, and looked at the female who seemed to be somewhat restrained and didn't know what to do: "The people call me Arnold, what's your name?"

Maybe it was because I told him my name, the female was a little surprised. She looked at me for a long time before she said: "Ayuan."

I nodded: "Is the source of the source? Good name."

Hearing my praise of his name, he seemed to relax a little: "Thank you."

I shrugged: "Ayuan, when is your child born, do you know? There are no priests in our clan, and no one who knows how to deliver babies, so we may need to be prepared first."

The children here are usually born in about half a year, and most of the females here can almost predict the time to have a child. In fact, I asked him if he wanted to be prepared. The main reason I wanted to know was what he planned. I heard him move the corners of his mouth almost invisibly: "I will deliver the baby by myself..."

It may be that he saw my very surprised expression that he seemed to think of something, and then grinned reluctantly at me: "Even if it doesn't, I will be born."

In fact, looking at his attitude, I think he is very sure, and I have doubts about his identity. But at this moment, it's hard to say anything, so I nodded: "That's good."

When it comes to this, I can't say anything. I haven't seen this kind of situation. How can I ask people's private affairs? I really can't do this. And if they don't have a partner or anything, then ask why they don't have a partner. This is not my style. It’s just that, look at the busy people around you, think about what they might be in danger or something, and have to grit their teeth, but still have to pretend to ask him casually: "What about your partner? Isn't he coming to look after you and your children?"

I don’t rule out that his partner is dead. It is also possible that his partner is still alive but they can’t be together. It’s just that the person whose partner has died is different from the person whose partner is still there. Even if a person pretends to be good, his expression, The eyes and some small movements are still hard to deceive.

So soon, I saw a trace of anger and regret flashed across his face, while lowering his head: "I have no partner."

I thought that he might say that his partner is dead, or that his partner has something to do, but there is no partner-this sentence still makes me stunned.

For a long time, I didn't know what to continue talking about, but faced him silently cutting the wheel that was almost ready for use in his hand, one by one, as if to concentrate on what he was doing.

If it weren't for the sound of Hongda moving, perhaps the embarrassment that lasted for about an hour would continue. So when I saw that Hongda seemed to move, I hurriedly put down the wheel that was being further processed and adjusted: "Hongda seems to move, Ayuan, come and take a look."

Hearing that the patient woke up, Ayuan also woke up from looking at the sky and not watching me. He was anxious to get up and almost fell. Fortunately hearing my voice, Canaan, who had come from a short distance, helped him, so that he saved this person from becoming a sick person.

With the help of Canaan, he quickly stepped forward and looked at Hongda’s tongue and hands, and used a technique similar to our Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis method to put his fingers on Hongda’s wrist and measure for a while, and listened carefully to Hongda. The earth's heart beat, and he pondered for a while before A Yuan nodded to us.

However, this nod of his head also caused Mo Hei and the others who ran to Hongda to pause happily. Lukas even flew into the sky directly as a beast and went in circles!

In the evening, Hongda moved and moaned at first, then vomited two more times, until he woke up and cried out hungry after smelling the smell of meat. Asking Mohei to rub his hair for a long time to ravage him, and let Lux teach him to eat indiscriminately in the future, and eat him. Let others breathe a sigh of relief.

Ayuan looked at Hongda again, and said that by taking the medicine two more times and resting for two days, he would slowly get better. So Hongda stayed in the bullock cart for the time being, waiting for him to recover.

Because Hongda woke up, the atmosphere of the entire tribe began to warm up again. The attitude of the people towards A Yuan also began to be somewhat different. It seemed that from the original hostility, he became a lot more kind. Even for dinner, A Yuan sat with us to eat, although he did not have the opportunity to touch any food, not even himself. I asked Ye Jia to deliver the food to him. However, the overall atmosphere in the clan seems to be much more harmonious. Especially when Hongda woke up and shouted that he had eaten several large bowls of miscellaneous soup hungry, the atmosphere could almost be said to be alive again.

Because of this afternoon’s rest, we made another bullock cart, because the bullock cart I brought out was pulled by two cows, so we evened out the older cow to pull the last bullock cart , Hongda and Ayuan sat in the bullock cart.

After Hongda woke up, he was very embarrassed. He repeatedly told me that when he got better, he would grab a bison to pull a cart and so on. In short, the last thing was that I must give it to him in winter. Drinking, he promised not to get into trouble again.

I smiled at him and told him to take care of his body first, and talk about things later.

Maybe it was because we stayed in our clan for two days. We did not encounter anything strange, nor did we encounter the expected danger. Lukas’ inspections also showed that there were no tribes nearby, within a half-day radius. , And there is no human breath. Everyone's mood gradually relaxed, and they became more enthusiastic about the sudden appearance of A Yuan. Especially children, I love Ayuan, who can show them whether wild fruits can be eaten, pick delicious weed roots for them, and tell them stories. He often squats around Ayuan when he is resting. He kept asking strange questions and listened to the stories of some heroes in the tribe. A Rui heard the story he told a few times, and even ran back to tell me that he also wanted to be a great hero or something, so I didn't know how to answer him.

Ayuan also seemed to like children very much and was very kind to them. Even though I sometimes feel that these children are really making me dizzy because of the noise, he is not impatient at all.

Although he has no partner and seems to have regrets and irritation about the word partner, he still seems to be looking forward to the child in his stomach. Occasionally, while telling stories, he would look softly at his own belly.

As far as I know, the only people who know so much about the history of a tribe and the legends of gods are priests. If Ayuan is the patriarch, I can't believe it. In this society, females do the patriarch's affairs. According to Luo Lei and Canaan, they have never heard of it before. However, here, priests cannot be married, just like the saints we know before. Although they can eat meat without special requirements, they cannot have marriages and children. For example, our high priest, who lived more than 50 years old, has never been married and has no children of his own.

Luo Lei said that from a long time ago, priests were people who served the gods. Only the purest people can reach the gods. Therefore, priests are not married.

I asked him, what if a priest wants to get married?

Luo Lei was stunned for a moment, and didn't answer for a long time.

I think if he does not know the answer, it is estimated that something similar has never happened here. However, according to historical stories, once a person serving God is no longer pure, in addition to death, it is estimated that he will be exiled. If he is cruel, it is estimated that it will be very troublesome. Think about the expression of irritation and regret when A Yuan told me that he has no partner but a child in his stomach.

Ayuan is obviously satisfied with the life in our clan. We have something to eat, and we will definitely give him food. Even to take care of his child, I specially asked Alin and Amando to leave him a little miscellaneous. Cook the soup and give it to him when he is hungry. Fearing that he would be hungry fast, I also asked Canaan to roast some more meat and put him there. If he was hungry, he would bite the barbecue and grind his teeth. Because he is heavy now, he doesn't need to do anything in our clan, he just needs to sit in the bullock cart and follow along every day. During the break, I helped Ari and the others to bring Ah Xing who was cooking with Ah Mo.

A Yuan seemed to like A Xing very much, and he made A Xing giggle every time. Sometimes A Xing is happier to see him than to see Xin Mu, unless Aman is holding him, otherwise, when A Xing sees A Yuan, he will ask him to hug him behind him. It's not the same thing to make Xin Mu feel sour. He whispered to me several times, I really can't let Ayuan take A fortunately in the future, or I don't know whose child it is. Let Aman scold him, "Hurry up and take A Xing, stop talking nonsense!"

Because Hongda was in good health, to express his gratitude, Hongda also stated that he would help Ayuan hunt a cow when he settled down in the future. As for why it is not now, Hongda said, because he agreed to hunt me a cow and pull a cart first, and even if he hunts a cow for A Yuan, A Yuan can't raise it, maybe everyone will eat it.

Hearing this, Ayuan smiled, “You don’t need to hunt a cow for me. I also treat you because of your tribe’s request. You have to thank your tribe. Instead of thanking me, you should give it to you. The tribe hunted two more cows."

Hearing this, I looked at A Yuan especially.

Although Ayuan is quiet in the clan and did not show any bad behavior, sometimes, I still pay more attention to him. I can't say that I care, I can't say that I pay attention, and it's not surveillance. I just think he needs to watch Two eyes. He doesn't do anything special every day, so apart from letting Luo Lei and Canaan, who are patrolling separately, pay more attention to his eastward, I don't send anyone to look at him.

When I got up one night and saw Ayuan sitting outside the tent looking at the moon in a daze, I was a little surprised, but some took it for granted.

Ayuan sat next to the tent assigned to him, Aman and Alin, and looked at the bright moon in the sky. He didn't have any special expressions, but he looked so sad. In the distance, two people on duty were walking around our tent, making him even more lonely.

I looked at the people in the distance who stretched out their hands to say hello because I came out, and waved to them to show that I was just getting up at night and nothing happened. After thinking about it, I finally walked up: "Ayuan, can't you sleep?"

Obviously, Ayuan, who trembled for a moment when he heard the sound, raised his head and saw that it was me, and hurriedly remembered: "No..."

I don't know why he is so afraid of me. I don't know if he also listened to the children's "great achievements" including how to "muse Hongda" them or something. Fearing that it would be inconvenient for him to get up, I hurriedly stepped forward and supported him: "Are you hungry? Haven't eaten enough for dinner? Do you want to eat more?"

He blushed when I said this: "No, I'm very full."

I smiled and helped him sit down: "That's good, I thought you were hungry and couldn't sleep."

Just as I helped him sit down, A Yuan sat on the animal skin he brought out again: "No, I'm full, thank you."

Seeing him so polite and alienated, I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, so I suddenly said, "You are a priest, right?"

Because of what I said, let alone A Yuan was shocked and almost wanted to stand up. How could I say it so easily even if I was a little surprised.

But if you say it, you can't regret it, and seeing that the night is quiet and the moon is like water, people feel that their heart is more lonely and soft, and it is also suitable for heart-to-heart talk. So I made up my mind to stare into his eyes.

Silence suddenly lay between us. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes..."

I don't know if he is worried or afraid of something because he is a priest and has a child. Feeling his uncomfortableness, I laughed: "Very well, it just happens that we lack a tribe who can heal... "

It seemed a little frightened by my words, A Yuan's expression seemed a little distorted in the moonlight: "Aren't you worried?"

I really can't think of what I should worry about. Is it because I am worried that we will be abandoned by the gods? Or is it cursed by the gods because of this? Although I also knew it was possible, I still didn't think about it so much at the moment. Besides, since the gods let him live, didn't they deliberately release the water? In that case, why should I think too much?

I looked at him with an innocent expression, as if he looked at me somewhat clearly: "You are a different person..."

Of course I also know how different I am from the people here, but when I say that I am very different, I don’t necessarily meet, so I just smiled at him: "It’s no different. You were exiled? I mean drove away. come out?"

Although my words are a bit difficult for ordinary people to accept, it seems that such a thing is a shame to them, but Ayuan's attitude makes me feel very natural. He looked at me and smiled at me: "Ah... …"

I like such a calm person, even if he is afraid and panic, but at this moment, I think his indifferent makes me like it very much, so when I look at him, I suddenly feel like I want to earn again: "Then, you Come and be the pharmacist here..."

I thought that a vocabulary like pharmacist that I hadn't heard of would surprise him. After all, there has never been a job as a pharmacist here.

In this society, priests and doctors are still one. The reason why a priest can have such majesty is to a large extent also because from a certain aspect, he does control the life and death of certain people, and he can heal diseases and save people.

In the past, I always wanted to weaken the authority of the high priest, and the best way was to directly let everyone gradually cease to believe in him. But in fact, think about it, this method can easily cause conflicts between priests and patriarchs. To weaken the influence of the priest on the tribe, it is not necessary to directly weaken the priest's majesty. In fact, we can achieve our goals by playing down the influence of the priest in everyone's lives. First, we can try to separate the duties of priests serving the gods and tribal doctors.

So far, there are not many opportunities to worship the gods. The annual sacrifice to the gods and occasional blessings may not necessarily achieve the result of making everyone so awe of the high priest. More, it can make the priests serve the needs of the tribe. The existence of sacrifices. Although the doctor usually healed everybody's illness, he would gradually become an ordinary doctor without the backing of gods. I even thought about whether the high priest predicted the astronomical phenomenon, and asked someone to do it.

Although I don't know if this road will work or not, I'm still happy to give it a try. So now, you can start with this pregnant priest.

Such an idea did nothing to him. After all, he couldn't say it later and hoped that he could be a priest. He may not even be able to say that he was once a priest. My suggestion is actually a good way for him. He can gain a foothold in our clan and think of ways to raise his children in the future. In order to treat his illness and heal his injuries, our clan will definitely protect him.

So I didn't expect that Ayuan actually made a request that made me shocked for a while without knowing how to respond...
