Orcs’ Time Through Time

Before we started to build the house, Ayuan produced it.

I have never faced production directly, so even here, I was supposed to guard Ayuan, but I was completely unable to do it. In the end, I could only ask Aman and Alin to help, and I chose Go outside to boil water.

Although everyone laughed privately, I was inexperienced, so I was scared. But this is not the case.

But everyone gave me a good excuse, and I don't want to say much.

A Yuan is very strong. Although there is no pharmacist here, and no one else can help him, he himself commanded Aman and Alin, and finally gave birth to his child-a cute little female.

In terms of population ratio, I am very happy that his family is a small female. After all, we have more small males here, but for the single Ayuan, I still think it is more suitable for him to have a small male. After all, When we settle down, there is always someone to help him.

But looking at Ayuan’s happy face, I am also happy for him. Perhaps for him, a little female who does not easily remind him of another person is the best.

Ayuan asked me to name his child. Ayuan said, at that time, if we didn’t take him in, he didn’t know where to go, and he didn’t know if it was eaten by other beasts, even if we Now there is nothing. He is also very grateful to us, and also grateful to me who made him a pharmacist in the clan, and thanked me for letting him work less often so that he can give birth to his child with peace of mind.

I was a little embarrassed by what he said. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally thought of a name-An Xin. I did not name this little female according to the naming rules here.

I have already thought about it. In the future, our people must have a surname, have a history, and remember what their ancestors have experienced. Then, everyone should have their own unique name, although the next two-character name is also very possible. Repeat, but at least better than what everyone calls Ah.

Now everyone still trusts me very much. I said everyone must have a surname, and everyone acknowledges this.

I explained to Ayuan that An hopes that we will settle down here in the future and live and work in peace and contentment. New shows that we are a new tribe, where everyone gets a new life, and Anxin is our first new life here.

Ayuan listened to my words, thanked me for naming this child, and according to Luo Lei's default customs, let this child be regarded as hanging under my name.

I think about it, A Yuan’s current status, although he took the child by himself, he still has a good dependence on him. Besides, Luo Lei is considered his brother. It’s a bit ugly, even if he has a natal family. Will bully people, right?

Not long after Ayuan’s affairs, we grabbed the grain that we could grab, and did a good job of storing them one by one. The next step was to build a house for us to spend the winter.

The layout of the brick house made this time is similar to the one made last time. They are all one hall and four houses. In order to save time, this time, I still ask everyone to set aside the land for use first. Don’t rush. I have made a livestock stall, but made another large livestock stall on the edge of the tribe in the downwind direction to raise all our current animals, lest they can hardly survive the winter.

In the three months of preparation, we have dried and dried enough wood pillars to be painted with raw lacquer, bricks and tiles were also fired in twelve kilns in three kilns in turn, which should be enough for us to build 13 or 4 kilns. The house is now, and we don’t actually use so much. Those single people like to live together and can take turns cooking. Hongda and the others plan to live with Canaan’s family temporarily. In fact, ten of our houses are enough.

However, in order to avoid any special situation, I still prepared enough bricks and that kind of cement. Even if you don't need so much at once, it's better than less.

Digging the ground and burying the required wooden piles in the ground, we started to pile the foundation with bricks and cement along the wooden piles.

After listening to me about this aspect, Luo Lei is better than me. Sometimes I think I am probably a spiritual leader who is responsible for guiding in the general direction. They do most things better than me. Luo Lei has experience in making wooden houses again, and after inferences about it, he can be regarded as a craftsman of this era.

When laying the foundation wall, we used one layer of straight bricks, and the upper layer was side bricks. Then the bricks and side bricks were alternated. The joints of the upper and lower brick layers were staggered to each other. It is used for bonding. The burned cement is mixed with sand and laid along the wooden piles. The bonding effect is unexpectedly good. It is estimated that it is not much worse than our cement-cast foundation.

When building the wall, we used the cross bricklaying method. On the first floor, we laid three rows and two bricks side by side, and then an exposed brick; the upper layer was placed in the middle of the three rows. The exposed bricks, and then fill the gaps in the middle with the straight bricks, each layer is up like this, the bricks built by this bricklaying method are beautiful. It looks like there is a neat pattern in the middle.

Secondly, because of my request, our bricks are thicker than those with a length of 20 cm. In the end, every wall is almost 40 cm thick, which is much thicker than our ordinary walls. I let Hongda, Lore and Ronna, who have great hand strength, tried to beat the wall. Except for their hand pain, they hardly suffered any other major injuries.

The wooden piles that have been smashed are used to buckle each other into a roof, which is similar to the last time we built a wooden house. The wooden roof is covered with tiles and cement, and the tiles are painted with cement to make them not easy to leak water, and also not easy to be blown away by the wind. Unless it is a hurricane that can knock off an entire roof, our roof will not There is a problem, and in order to prevent the rain and snow here from exceeding the expected, the angle of our roof is also more inclined, quite a bit Russian.

Originally, I wanted to try pouring the roof with cement, but there was really not so much fired cement, and there was no steel to make bones, so in the end we had to fill the gaps with cement concrete on the wooden blocks that made the roof, and then put it on top The bricks and tiles are well covered.

Although it is a lot more troublesome than modern craftsmanship, it is more sturdy. And the wood inside is not easy to get wet after we paint it. I also asked the children who ran around trying to help collect a lot of tung oil seeds nearby, which I plan to use to paint furniture.

Although furniture can also be painted with raw lacquer, and raw lacquer is easier to obtain than tung oil, even the simplest method of preparing pure tung oil requires frying the tung oil seeds first, and then squeezing the oil. Even if we have the experience of using rapeseed to extract oil, we need to make tools first, and now, none of us have time to do this tool, nor time to do this kind of thing. But compared to some people who are allergic to lacquer and become sticky when it is damp, and furniture is often used indoors, I still prefer to use tung oil to paint furniture.

However, the main task now is to prepare the main body of the house first, and then prepare the necessary furniture to prepare for the winter. You can do it slowly while the furniture is in use.

When I burned the bricks, I also tried to burn a batch of pottery.

Although there is the picture given by Gunan, it is too difficult for me to knead pottery by hand. It is okay for me to align the tools with my hands, and let me sit down and squeeze a pottery patiently. Just forgive me.

I did it for a while, and I thought the clay was too soft, then I thought the tools were not working well, and I thought it was boring, and finally threw it to Luo Lei very smoothly.

I was as impatient as I was, and there was Canaan who was tired after sitting for a while, so Canaan made an excuse that he wanted to go hunting, and I had an excuse that I was going to prepare things for the kiln, leaving Luo Lei alone there pitifully. Try to make a clay pot little by little by using clay sticks.

Later, I found that Luo Lei was really working hard, so I figured out a way to make a pottery wheel chassis that can be stepped on, let him try it, and recommended Rona, Xiaoshui, Aman and Alin as students. Finally Solved the problem of only one person doing this.

Originally, I wanted Ye Jia and the others to try it, but apart from Rona and Xiao Shui, the other children seemed to have no such patience, and A Rui and A Que were too young, except for asking them to help A. Yuan looked at A Xing and A Yuan's An Xin, but I still didn't let them come. It's not too late to try again when they are older.

But even so, Luo Lei still likes to pull me to sit next to him and watch him make those pottery, even I told him to do things myself, as long as I can move to him, he will let me do it with him. I don't know if this means I am more motivated to look at him? However, to be honest, whether it is hand-made or wheeled, pottery is too much patience.

The pottery made by Gunan is not glazed, and the pots always look rough.

Luo Lei once gave me a thin stone knife made of kaolin, which is very good for cutting meat.

Since there is kaolin, I also tried to use plant ash and some quartz stone powder, feldspar and kaolin powder and all the imaginable materials together, and applied them to the semi-dried pottery embryo prepared by Luo Lei.

Luo Lei almost helplessly watched that I didn't help, and even messed up for him. While brushing the pottery one by one with a brush, he also painted a symbol on one of the pottery, imitating the same symbol that Luo Lei had painted for his bowl before. Luo Lei's big head is on it, and he decided that this will belong to our family in the future.

Canaan almost couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it on one side, and laughed almost when he saw it. I wanted to put Luo Lei in a deep water. Seeing that I not only didn't help, but also did something incomprehensible there, and didn't tell them why. He wanted to excuse me for something, but how could he understand my great cause? So I looked at him contemptuously, and continued to ravage the fruits of Luo Lei's labor. Anyway, Luo Lei just sat there and watched me behave, and I painted really well, especially the hand-drawn comics, although I haven't drawn them for many years. , Luo Lei's big head is still very charming, at least everyone knows that it is Luo Lei at first glance.

I even burned a pottery bowl for several children. A **** was painted on the top of the bird, and Ari’s painted a flying phoenix bird. Everyone has never seen that kind of bird. I told them it was a flying bird in the sky. Kind of auspicious bird, A Xing painted a legendary blue bird.

I drew a cute bear for Rona, and Ye Jia said that the bear I drew was much cuter than the flame bear. I shrugged, of course, that's the cute little bear holding the honey jar.

Ye Jia was supposed to draw a little snake, but I still drew a flying dragon. Although it was not completely imagined with his head, the appearance of a dragon still made me feel more at ease. Ye Jia was because of this painting. It's more cute and didn't say much. Xiao Shui painted a small river, but wood ash was very difficult to paint, so I had to paint a tree. The other children also painted according to their wishes. The little guys are very happy, even the bird is around me, asking me to teach him to paint in the future.

I drew a horizontal plane for Anxin, on which is the rising sun. No matter where it is, the sun means life and light, and the rising sun means new life.

Ayuan seemed to like this very much. After it was cooked, he carefully put it away for An Xin, saying that he would use it by himself when he grew up.

This is nothing to me, but it may be an important thing for the people who follow here, especially for these children in the future. There are not many opportunities for you to show great kindness, but it is daily. Xiaohui has a lot.

When making pottery, everyone was a little bit novel. After all, this was something that everyone had to spend a lot of money to buy in the past. Later, there is no need to change it. Pottery is also a matter of the Xingzu, and they are not willing to teach others easily.

Of course, I will not teach others what recipe to use, especially my enamel recipe, which must be kept secret.

Just seeing everyone circling the pottery in such a novel way, I still find it very interesting. It should be said that those who follow us all have a kind and innocent heart in nature.

The pottery has also been burned for a few days. In the past few days, we have built the wooden piles for twelve houses one after another on the basis of the wooden piles we started before. The roof is waiting for the brick walls to be built, and the main house is built. Beams, and then build the roof on the basis of the beams.

On the day when the pottery was opened, everyone was waiting for the pottery that was about to be distributed. The pottery was fired in their own tribe, and they couldn't help but look forward to it even more.

While watching everyone look forward to their faces, I smiled and directed the male to open the kiln.

When I first touched the surface of a smooth appliance, my hand was a little trembling!

Extraordinary: Luo Lei (1)

Ah, when Luo Lie was about to get married, I just nodded.

I know what Ahma meant. He was reminding me that I should also find a companion.

I also know that at my age, if I don't find another one, it has indeed become a problem in the clan.

No matter how capable I am, can I guarantee that there will be no problems for the rest of my life? Half of my face has been ruined during hunting, and the females are so afraid of me. The people probably no longer support me as the patriarch, at least not for the females who turned their heads when they saw my scars. If I get injured again in the future, what should I do? If I don't even have children, will this tribe no longer have griffins?

But, from these females who turned their heads when I saw my scars, who could I find to be my partner?

Luo Lie's partner is the child of Abba Lorraine who rescued him when he was a child, a female Arnold who looks thin and small, and has the same courage as others. Abba Lorraine passed away shortly after saving Luo Lie from the teeth of the Toothchewer Rhinoceros. He and his Ah Ma had been living hard with the few supplies in the clan.

There are no fewer people in the clan who eat than hunt, so there is not a lot of supply for each family, and only enough to eat. However, Abba said before that even if we squeeze out between our teeth, we must repay Abba Lorraine for his kindness. Therefore, our family always gives them some food. In the past, I have given him and his Ama food many times, so I probably still remember what kind of child this is. I remember when he saw my scar for the first time, he screamed and ran away and almost fell. I also remembered how he looked at Luo Lie secretly but was afraid of being discovered by Luo Lie.

However, I didn't expect that Abba and the high priest would discuss how to match Luo Lie and Arnold's friend A Xing.

I also know that compared to the timid and cowardly Arnold who is always cringing, hardly speaking to others, the lively and generous A Xing is indeed more hopeful to take on the responsibilities of a future patriarch’s partner, but to be honest, I don’t In favor of this approach.

If everyone could see Arnold secretly watching Luo Lie, he shouldn't have such thoughts. Especially now, Ahnuo’s Ahma has also passed away. He spent a few years guarding the tent left by his Abba and Ahma, living alone, waiting to get married with Luo Lie. How sad will it make this child do?

But I can't say anything, after all, this is Luo Lie and Anuo's own business, but also for the family's business. According to the high priest, this is the decision of the gods. Although I don't know why the gods still take care of such things, I still secretly hope that Luo Lie will not do this.

Seeing Arnold quietly watching Luo Lie and A Xing together, I feel a little sad, this silly boy, does he think he can do anything by just watching? Did he think Luo Lie would look back when he watched it? Why not be brave? Why not go up there? It's just that I can't say anything, I can only walk away quietly.

Perhaps it was sympathy or guilt in my heart. I also secretly added some of my own food while helping Abba to deliver food to Arnold. Although not much, it was considered a little bit of my affection for him. Eat more. Some, more energy, can think about things more when you are full, and become stronger.

Seeing him by the creek wiping the very precious clay pot that his father left him and his Ah Mo, I still couldn't help but lift one for him.

He looked at me with red and swollen eyes, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Thank you, and the meat you give me every day, and thank you. You must have a good partner."

Later, I didn't know why he said this to me because he jumped into the river. When we were not paying attention, he ran out of the tribe and walked into the river by himself.

When he was rescued, the high priest shook his head. I can't believe it, the one lying on that animal skin turned out to be a living life, someone who would say thank you to me! But now...

Luo Lie stood on the side and lowered his head. Abba gave Luo Lie a fist and let him be locked in the confinement cave. I just learned that A Xing had a child, and Luo Lie told Arnold about it and asked Arnold to agree to resign.

If he hadn't been locked in a confinement hole, I would also like to beat him up, this kind of style of doing things when he grows up so big!

But looking at Arnold, who had almost lost his breath on the animal skins, I felt pitiful again. They are still young, so why do you want to make a mistake like this? According to the family rules, if Arnold doesn't forgive Luo Lie, he won't even want to get out of the confinement cave in his entire life, but what will he do with Ah Xing, who has children? Do they do things almost without thinking? What should I do about this? Is it necessary to change the clan rules?

But the amazing thing is that when we all were helpless, I heard another news-Arnold is breathing!

Although it has nothing to do with me directly, I don't know why, but I feel relieved.

Then came Ah Mo’s idea. Ah Mo said, Luo Lie and Ah Xing’s affairs can’t be regretted anymore, but we are also responsible for Anuo, and I can’t find a partner. If Anuo agrees, it’s better, I will Forget about marrying Arnold.

Although I know what Arnold’s character is, and I don’t know if he will agree. To be honest, Arnold is not a good partner, but I still agree. As long as Arnold agrees, I will prepare. .

In my opinion, Arnold would not agree, because I know that he likes Luo Lie, he really likes, that kind of obsessive eyes, for the sadness of his crying, for his courage to walk into the river, should I like it. Although I don't know why, I don't know exactly where he likes Luo Lie, but that expression shouldn't be wrong. I also remember the first time he saw my face running away, and the last time he thanked me weakly, and confidently said that I would have a good partner. I don’t know why, I felt that if he had to take care of him for a lifetime, he Willing to give birth to me a child, I also admitted.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Arnold who promised to marry me is no longer the former Arnold.

Although he also accepted the meat I gave him and didn't go out much, I also noticed that he seemed to have made a pile of wood at home, and he was doing something with the set of tools left by Abba Lorraine. And a few times when I passed by and saw him coming out of the tent, I was no longer so scared. Instead, it was more of an inquiry. Listen to Ah Mo Nian, he also tried to sculpt a honeycomb by himself!

I thought, maybe Arnold really wanted to go, and he was a little happy.

But I didn't expect that this kid would run out again in the name of carrying salt!

I'm a little worried, but I can't show anything. I don’t want people to say that I already have something with Arnold. It’s not a good thing for him to jump into the river for this. I have more sympathy and pity for him, and no other feelings. As for him, there is more to me. It is probably grateful, maybe there is not much gratitude, I can't let others say anything. But I was still a little worried. The kid didn't know where he went, and even our hunting team came back. He hasn't come back yet!

When dividing the food, Arnold finally came back! Carrying a plentiful prey—seven or eight catties of salt, a kind of roots we have seen in one skin bag, a plant we don’t know in another skin bag, three pheasants tied together and A hare, and two little wild boars in his hand!

Of course the females in the clan have gone out, but their route is the road that we have cut down to the salt cave, and the cave that leads to the back mountain for the winter. Females also have a harvest, but they are all wild vegetables and wild fruits. It is too difficult for females to catch pheasants flying in the sky, rabbits running on the ground, and wild boars that run scary. Not to mention females, even males are not easy. Although for males, pheasants and hares cannot be caught because they are too small and easy to grasp, it is not easy to catch wild boars because they are in the mountains and forests. If they are not beasts, they would not be able to deal with a wild boar alone. easy.

Although Arnold caught a small wild boar that was not weaned, and he said he was lucky, in fact I don’t think anyone with this kind of luck can easily catch two small wild boars, and he is still a female, a thin one. Thin and small female.

The people are very surprised. me too.

After some deliberation, the patriarch decided to give him all his prey. However, he was given half of the meat. Although in terms of clan regulations, all the females’ gains belonged to them, his gains were so amazing, almost okay. Comparable to the harvest of a male. So everyone can accept this decision. After all, if you can eat more, who is not happy? Moreover, his harvest is actually more than anyone else. It's just that everyone never thought that a female would have such a harvest, so they never thought about making females do the same.

Seeing him staggering forward with those things, almost subconsciously, I stepped forward and took what was in his hand.

When he looked back at me, his eyes were shining in the light of the setting sun with a golden light that resembled the beast of his Abba. It was really very beautiful. And he was no longer afraid of me. Instead, he handed me everything in his hand unceremoniously, took the pheasants and hares by himself, and generously asked me to send him back.

The clansmen saw that I was going to send him back, so of course they had to laugh. It's just that his natural attitude makes others unable to act maliciously. Besides, he will be my partner soon, but it doesn't really matter to think of it. On the contrary, everyone just said some jokes.

When he said he wanted to raise wild boars, I was very surprised. I still remember a small wild boar in the clan running around. He was so scared that he hid in a tent and did not dare to come out. Now he actually said he wanted to raise wild boars! She said firmly that she would be able to raise her.

Just looking at his firm expression, I don't have much to say, I just plan to help him get a few sturdy wooden stakes to tie up the little wild boar.

Then, I heard Arnold’s even more surprising attention. He said, it’s better to put a few stakes around a tree and tie the little wild boar to it so that he can't run anyway.

He said that when he ate with me, I was no longer surprised to describe it, and my heart was surging! The timid Arnold who ran away when he saw me, would actually ask me to eat together!

But in fact, the food he cooks is delicious. Although he was clumsy using flint to make fires, the pheasant soup he cooked with something he called **** was fragrant and delicious, not smelly, and not greasy; he roasted the meat with honey to make the meat fragrant and sweet, and it tasted very tender. The rabbit that was roasted was just right to the heat, and it tasted tender and delicious. He also gave me the plant roots he brought back. After roasting in the fire, the plant he called sweet potatoes tasted sweet and soft, and it had a very strange delicacy. He even made a few. Ama, who has been eating for ten years, is full of praise.

By the way, he also invited Ama to dinner. He didn't say anything to anyone before. This time, when he saw Ama come and tell me to go back for dinner, he also enthusiastically invited Ama to sit down and have a meal together.

Listening to Ah Ma talking to him about some past things, I don’t say anything, so that Arnold can listen, I just let him say, there are things that don’t need to be mentioned, I just stare at Ah, let He should not go on.

When I ate, I accidentally ate very full, really full, fuller than I had ever eaten before, so that I later had to patrol and digest. Eat a roast rabbit, a few catties of barbecue, sweet potato and pheasant soup, how can you not be full? I was really satisfied with what I ate, as if I remembered eating so full when Luo Lie was not born as a child.

Ah Mo was not only very happy to eat at his house, but he even made something he said was a wooden bowl that he liked very much, and he said that he would take it back and show it to Abba.

Hearing what he said, Arnold also sent him a few sweet potatoes and half a jar of pheasant, which made me a little jealous. However, when Ah Ma tried to want the bowl he gave me, I stopped in time.

While helping him add some wood to the fire to burn the fire, so as not to let him burn the fire after it is extinguished and clumsy for a long time, while he and I took the bowl I used, grabbed it and engraved my own symbol, and watched him Reluctantly said to give me the bowl.
