Fire Dragon Song

After lunch, Jisang couldn't wait to ask Yunxiao to teach him how to turn salted fruit (salt fruit) into white grains of sand.Qi Luo was also very curious, and Zhao Yunxiao's behavior towards him also made Qi Luo want to get close to Zhao Yunxiao, and he even took the initiative to wash the pots and bowls.Kang Ding didn't go out either, waiting to see what Zhao Yunxiao would do with the salted fruit.Zhao Yunxiao took two pots, and went to pick a suitable stone from the pile of stones outside, and asked Qi Luo to clean the pot again with soapwort to wash off the remaining oil in the pot.Qi Luo carefully cleaned the shell and stone of the stone fruit and brought it to Zhao Yunxiao.

Zhao Yunxiao gratefully gave Qi Luo two pieces of biltong as snacks.Qi Luo put the dried meat strips and the pinch of salt that Zhao Yunxiao gave him just now on a small piece of clean animal hide, reluctant to eat it right away.Kang Ding has washed all the salted fruits stored at home according to Zhao Yunxiao's request.Zhao Yunxiao didn't allow Jisang to touch the cold water, and Jisang just sat beside him obediently.

Zhao Yunxiao picked the salt fruit from the branch and put it in a pot. Jisang and Qi Luo watched it for a while and helped him pick it together.After picking up a small half of the pot, Zhao Yunxiao signaled Jisang and Qi Luo to stop, and then asked Qi Luo to wash it up.After washing, he took the stone and twisted the salt fruit in the pot vigorously.Qi Luo stared carefully, inadvertently, he saw sweat protruding from Zhao Yunxiao's forehead, he stretched out his hand: "Uncle Yunxiao, let me do it."

Jisang also said, "Let Qiro come."

Kang Ding surprisingly did not ask him to come, but also made a gesture for Chiro to come.Zhao Yunxiao thought Qi Luo was having fun, so he gave him the stone and moved out of the way.Qi Luo supported the pot with one hand, and crushed the salt fruit vigorously with a stone in the other.When it was about the same time, Zhao Yunxiao took the stone and began to smash it, smashing the pulp even more.Qi Luo looked at it for a while and asked him to do it again. He seemed very interested, and Zhao Yunxiao gave him the stone.

After smashing it bad enough, Zhao Yunxiao went to scoop water in the water tank.Kang Ding took the clay bowl in his hand.Zhao Yunxiao didn't reject Kang Ding, and stroked the pot three fingers wide from the edge, Kang Ding nodded in understanding.Pour water into it until it reached the position where Zhao Yunxiao just rowed, and Kang Ding put down the pottery bowl.Zhao Yunxiao found a special animal skin from the package.The fur on this animal skin has been burnt off, and the animal skin is very thin. This is Zhao Yunxiao's unique animal skin. There are countless small eyes pierced with bone needles, which are specially used for filtering.

He asked Jisan to support the hide and point it at another clean pot, then he lifted the pot of salted fruit water and poured it slowly towards the filtered hide.The floating pulp remained on the hide, and the brine seeped into the pot.Kang Ding shot again: "Let me do it."

The pot was still a bit heavy, and it was a bit difficult for Zhao Yunxiao to carry it with a large pot of water.He handed the pot to Kang Ding.Kang Ding poured out all the salted fruit water at the speed Zhao Yunxiao poured just now.While Kang Ding was filtering the salt water, Zhao Yunxiao brought gold and stones and re-lit the stove.Seeing the golden stone in his hand, Qi Luo was greatly surprised.

Kang Ding's side had already finished pouring, and Zhao Yunxiao put the pot filled with salt water on the stove to boil.Boiled in salt water, Zhao Yunxiao poured the pulp from the strainer back into the first pot, and continued to twist it with stones.The job was immediately taken by Qiro.This time the pulp was twisted even more, Zhao Yunxiao asked Kang Ding to add water, the same amount as before, and he stirred the pot with a clean wooden stick, so that all the salt in the salted fruit could be incorporated into the water as much as possible.

While Zhao Yunxiao was stirring, Kang Ding found the largest clay pot in the house, and he took it outside and washed it three times with soapwort.After Zhao Yunxiao finished stirring, he and Jisang filtered the pot of salt water into a clay pot.Two stoves were lit, one with stone fruit shells, and the other with clay pots, both of which were boiling salt water.Zhao Yunxiao continued to add salt to the salted fruit. It took 4 to 5 times of refining to squeeze out the salt in the salted fruit.

Zhao Yunxiao let the fire burn very high at first, and when the water evaporated, salt crystals appeared on the inner wall of the pot, he took out a few logs and continued to cook on a low fire.When the salt crystallized out, Jisang grabbed Kangding and shouted happily: "Yes, yes! It's turned into grains of sand!"

Kang Ding was also very happy, he didn't expect the method to be so simple!

The water in the pot became less and less, and eventually, there were only white sand grains left in the pot.Zhao Yunxiao brought down the first pot and scraped off the salt on the inner wall with a spoon. Jisang was already waiting to touch it with the clay pot.Zhao Yunxiao ground the salt again with a stone, and then poured it into a clay pot.Contin brought the brine and filtered it again.

After filtering and boiling for 5 times in this way, the flesh of the salted fruit has no salty taste. Zhao Yunxiao poured out the residue and added new salted fruit to continue crushing.But this time Kang Ding won't let him do it.Together with Jisang and Qiluo, he crushed salt fruit and boiled coarse salt.Kang Ding thought that two fires were not enough, so he built another stove.

"Jisan."

Jisang, who was guarding another pot of salt water, turned his head, Zhao Yunxiao waved to him, and Jisang immediately went over.Saltwater Kang Ding and Qi Luo can handle it completely, Zhao Yunxiao pulled Jisang into the room.He taught Jisang how to make jerky.The most important thing to make jerky is the seasoning.Zhao Yunxiao took out the gourd with his own seasoning, put a little of each of a dozen different seasonings in front of Jisang, and then took out the jerky.

"Jisan, I need these, seasoning."

Zhao Yunxiao pointed to the seasonings, and then to the jerky.Jisang understood, he took a small animal hide, put these leaves, fruits, bark and other various seasonings on the animal hide, and then went out holding the animal hide.Zhao Yunxiao put the gourd and jerky back and walked out.The seasoning that Yunhuo brought him was only enough for the usual barbecue, and the jerky would be gone after a meal, so he couldn't make much jerky.Thinking of this, Zhao Yunxiao's heart moved again.Yunhuo, I hope he can go back.

Kang Ding stirred the salt water with one hand while listening to Jisang carefully.Jisang held the animal skins in front of him and said, "Yunxiao said that only with these can we make the kind of jerky that can be eaten directly."

Kang Ding immediately said: "Come and stir, I will go to Vala and ask him to organize females to pick."

Jisan was reluctant to hear Valla.But he also understands that this matter is related to their spending the white moon, so they can't act on their emotions.The female is responsible for picking herbs and fruits in the surrounding woods, and the orcs will pick the ones that are not nearby.Jisang handed the animal skin to Kang Ding, took the wooden stick from Kang Ding's hand, and said, "What does Valla want to know, you can ask me, I will ask Yun Xiao, he should not come to Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao doesn't like him. "

Kang Ding sighed, but still said: "Okay. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you."

"Ah."

Kang Ding left with the piece of animal skin, looking for Vala.Qi Luo looked at Zhao Yunxiao adoringly, his heart was completely occupied by this beautiful and magical female.But don't get me wrong, Chiro is still a cub, he doesn't know what love is yet.After Kang Ding went out, Zhao Yunxiao refined salt with Jisang and Qi Luo.

When Kang Ding told Wala about the salt and jerky with great excitement, the male orcs of the Bandahi tribe who were hunting outside were staring at the red beast in the distance cautiously.The beast had an animal skin bag in its mouth, and he hung the bag on a big tree, and then flew away far away.Transformed into a human form, Yunhuo shouted at Baher, "Bring this to Yunxiao!"

Baher frowned, and Keya reached out to stop him: "Baher, don't go over."

Yunhuo shouted again: "Baher, I won't go to Yunxiao, you bring this to him!"

Baher turned into a beast and flew up.Keya shouted anxiously: "Baher, don't go! Stay away from him!"

Baher glanced at Ke Ya, indicating that he was okay, then he flew over and landed on the big tree with the animal skin bag hanging on it.Returning to human form, Baher said, "Tuzo, the Horde will take care of him."

"No need!" Tuzuo, who also changed into a human form, said fiercely: "One day he didn't choose another male, but one day he was my female! My female doesn't need to be taken care of by others!"

"Tuzuo, you should know..."

"I know!" Yunhuo interrupted Baher unwillingly, and said stubbornly: "I know I can't be with him, but he is still my female now! I will not see him, nor will I see you again. I Every two days, the food for him will be put here, you come and get it."

Baher took a few glances at Yunhuo, bent over to pick up the bag, and hung it on his body.Yunhuo's tense body relaxed slightly.Baher was about to transform, but Yunhuo called to him, and asked depressedly and painfully, "Is he alright?"

Baher turned around, turned his back to Yunhuo and said, "He is fine, and so is Abba. We will take good care of him." After speaking, he turned into a wild beast and flew away.

Yunxiao... Yunhuo restrained his urge to fly back to the tribe with Baher, his eyes were hot.Yunxiao is there, is it good?Heartbroken that he could hardly breathe, Yunxiao turned into a beast and flew towards his and Yunxiao's home lost.Yunxiao is okay, it's fine, it's fine... But why does his heart hurt so much when he knows that Yunxiao is fine.

When Baher came back, Kayah immediately said, "Why did you promise him?"

"It's up to Yunxiao to accept Tuzo's food or not. Let's go on hunting," Baher said.

"Baher, Tuzo will bring bad luck to Yun Xiao and you too, don't see him again," another male Tanka said.

Ke Ya agreed: "You don't want to see him again."

"Tuzo said he wouldn't see me again," Baher said.

Hearing what he said, the others showed relieved expressions.Baher added: "If Yunxiao knows that we refuse to help Yunhuo deliver food to him, Yunxiao will be unhappy and think we have lied to him. We are males and cannot do things that females look down on. Yunhuo will not see you in the future Me, as long as Yunxiao doesn't refuse, I will help Yunxiao deliver food to him. Besides, my dad will blame me too. Tuzuo him, after all, he is my younger brother."

Baher had said so, and as an indomitable male, it was really unreasonable for him to refuse to help Tuzo deliver food to his female.Ke Ya asked: "Then we can't pursue Yun Xiao?"

Ute, who had been silent all this time, said, "My father said that any single male in the tribe can pursue Yunxiao. It is impossible for Yunxiao to be with Tuzuo, Tuzuo will kill him."

Keya was immediately happy: "That's good. I like him very much, and I want him to be my female."

"I like it too." Other single orcs all echoed. Among the people present, only Ute had a female prospective partner, and the others were all bachelors.

"Baher, Yunxiao is living in your house now, you are so lucky." Keya patted Baher on the shoulder.

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Baher couldn't help but said: "Yunxiao can't understand us, don't scare him."

"We will be very careful." Except for Ute and Baher, everyone is looking forward to it.Ute is because he has Melen, and Baher knows that Yunxiao hates him, or in other words, in the tribe, Yunxiao only accepts Abba, and he doesn't like others.But in order not to offend everyone and not want them to know Yun Xiao's sense of him, Baher didn't say anything.

After Kang Ding left from Wala, Wala took Meren to gather the females in the tribe to collect seasonings and as many salt fruits as possible according to the samples given by Zhao Yunxiao.Kang Ding did not return to the hut, but worried about the remaining male orcs in the tribe, no matter they were old, weak or physically disabled, refining the salt fruit stored in the tribe's warehouse.All of a sudden, all the young and old in the tribe took action.Wala really wanted to come and see Zhao Yunxiao's fruits of labor and the special jerky, but Jisang didn't welcome him, and Zhao Yunxiao avoided him again, so Wala gave up.

All the salt fruits in Kang Ding's house have been refined, and there is a whole clay pot of coarse salt.Jisang held the clay pot and smiled happily. Seeing him so happy, Qi Luo and Zhao Yunxiao, who had worked hard all afternoon, were also very happy.It's just that Zhao Yunxiao knows very well that if a large amount of meat is to be stored, this little salt is far from enough.But if it's just for meals, this jar of salt is enough for Jisang's family of three to feed for several months.

Having nothing to do for the time being, Qiro left holding his small animal skin containing salt and dried meat.Zhao Yunxiao watched curiously as Qi Luo ran all the way to a hut on the other side of the square, facing him far away.He thought that should be Chiro's house.Yesterday and today he saw Chiro cooking in front of that hut.Soon, Qi Luo came out with a bone knife pinned to his waist.He ran back again and said to Jisang: "Jisangam, I'm going to collect firewood and see if I can pick some salted fruits."

Jisang said: "You go, don't run too far."

"Ah."

Qi Luo smiled deeply at Zhao Yunxiao who was looking at him, turned around and ran away quickly.Seeing that he had been running out of the village, Zhao Yunxiao looked at Jisang wonderingly.Gisan passed a burning branch, and said slowly, "Qiro, go, pick up firewood."

"He went to chop firewood?" Zhao Yunxiao frowned, and looked at the big square again.In the square, a few children who are about the same age as Qiro are playing the game of you hitting me and me hitting you. Then why did Qiro go to chop wood?Zhao Yunxiao looked at Jisang again.

Jisang couldn't explain to Yunxiao in detail, he drew a human figure on the ground with a branch in his hand, and drew another human figure, with a small figure in the middle of the two figures, obviously two adults with a child.He pointed to the villain in the middle: "Qi Luo."

Pointing to the adult on the left: "Abba."

The adult on the right: "Father."

Then he rubbed off the two adults with his feet, leaving only the little one in the middle, and pointed again: "Qi Luo."

Zhao Yunxiao understood: "Qi Luo, he is an orphan."

Jisang pointed to himself: "Abba, female."

He pointed to Kang Ding who was directing the crowd to smash salted fruit by the pool in the square: "Father, male."

He pointed at Zhao Yunxiao again: "Yunxiao, female."

Zhao Yunxiao studied with Jisang.Jisang is "Apa", and Kangding is "A's".From Jisang's pronunciation, he heard that he was the same person as Jisang, and Kang Ding was a different kind of person from those extraordinarily tall men, which further confirmed his previous guess.Zhao Yunxiao asked, "Where's Tuzuo?"

Sadness immediately appeared on Jisan's face: "Tuzuo is my son. Son, Baher, Tuzuo. I am his, Abba, Abba."

Zhao Yunxiao's heart tightened suddenly, he understood this sentence.He went forward to hug Jisang, who turned out to be Tuzuo's father, the man who gave birth to Tuzuo.

"Tuzo, my son, son."

"Abba... Jisang, Abba..."

Yunxiao couldn't help shouting, and Jisang's tears fell immediately: "Yunxiao...Tuzuo...my son, son..."

"Abba...Abba Jisang..."

Jisang burst into tears and smiled.
