Chapter 72, The Difficult Journey

The deeper you go inside, the more difficult the road will be. Not to mention all kinds of thorns, the beasts that suddenly appear, and the things hidden in the grass are the most worrying.

Shu Ke pressed the flesh around the female's neck with one hand, and patted the wound with the other hand. The female gritted her teeth and did not cry. When Shu Ke finished speaking, he still looked back and saw a deep The yellow wriggling worm was thrown directly into the bamboo tube by Shu Ke.

"It's all right, everyone should be careful, but don't worry too much. Once you find leeches or leeches, beat them out as before, and you'll be all right. Those with wounds, come to me to get herbs and cloths, and wrap them up. "

It is too hot in summer, so wrapping it with sackcloth is actually not good, but in order to prevent the ubiquitous leeches and leeches from getting into the body, it is safer to wrap it up.

The leeches have medicinal value, and Shu Ke originally wanted to throw them away, but it's hard to see so many leeches in this piece, anyway, it doesn't hurt to keep them away.

The team resumed moving forward again, and Shu Ke was busy back and forth in place of Lance, who had an injured foot. He didn't understand something, so naturally he had to ask Lance or White Fang, and he didn't dare to take medicine if he was not sure.

A few orcs were bitten by poisonous snakes, so Shu Ke thought about this beforehand. Bai Fang is also very skilled in dealing with snake venom. Except for a little paralysis of the body, he is not as flexible as before. .

In this way, the danger has increased, the security circle has shrunk, the effect of the ice-cooling grass has increased, and the heat has been reduced a lot when walking, and the number of patrols at night has also increased. Still don't worry.

The orcs had thick black under their eyes, lack of rest, no matter how strong they are, they couldn't hold on for a long time. Under the persuasion of everyone, Beta slept for a few hours for the first time since he set off for three days.

Some small cubs have also passed the fear period, and now they look curious about the forest. When Shu Ke was catching shrimps and fish in the stream, they also ran over to watch. A few little orcs went straight down to do it themselves , Fortunately, there is nothing dangerous in the stream.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, the weather changed, with dark clouds billowing, and it was about to rain. After passing the area where the leeches were active, there was heavy rain again. If Beta hadn’t decisively ordered to stop advancing, Shu Ke directed the orcs to move as fast as possible. Several large wooden shelves were built, and the bamboo strips were split and paved to form one by one.

Magnets, cubs, and old people were arranged to rest inside to avoid the rain. The orcs outside stood around the house in raincoats made of big leaves to protect them. When it rained, some animals would come out to hunt. One night they There were two white tiger attacks and a wave of hyenas. Fortunately, there were not many of them, but some hyenas escaped and called for more companions. Shu Ke killed all the cubs with the space blade.

No one fell asleep, and they didn't let go until midnight when the sound of rain stopped.

Started cleaning the prey, and made a long-lost barbecue instead of stew. Although the taste was average, everyone who ate the steaming hyena had a smile on their faces.

On the second day, they continued on the road without a break. The muddy mountain road increased the difficulty and accelerated the physical exertion of everyone. After three days, the exhaustion of the orcs finally reached the limit. Fortunately, they finally reached the interior of the new tribe. There are also a lot less beasts here, and Beta asked the few orcs who came here to return to the tribe to call people. Here, Shu Ke cooks a big meal, and specially adds some drugs to restore physical strength to all the food.

Many people were already drowsy, and several females had already fallen asleep leaning against the tree with their own orcs. Even though Shu Ke and the others made noises while cooking, they didn't wake up. exhausted.

A few cubs were also sleepy and listless. Seeing their female father and beast father sleeping, they just sat there without daring to move, looking pitiful.

Shu Ke and Beta looked at each other, but still called everyone up, this is the forest, it's not time to rest yet.

After forcing everyone to drink a large bowl of soup, they started to start again. Halfway there, they met Xia Zhan, Mi Hai and the others who came to welcome them. It was a lot easier.

When they arrived in the new tribe, they were not too excited. In the past ten days, Mi Hai and the others have only built [-] or so half-finished houses, and now they are just arranging for the arrivals to rest.

The building of the house also stopped for a day, because it was too noisy.

This rest lasted for a whole day, and he didn't wake up one after another until the next afternoon.

People from the two tribes are very strange to each other, and they don't talk much. People who just arrived here are naturally excited. The house is very beautiful at first glance, and the surrounding products are also very rich. Select the housing address and return the things in the system.

Bei’s family and Shu Ke’s food are all taken out. For a while, they can only live together. After an agreement, Beta will be responsible for the continued construction of the new tribe, Shu Ke will be responsible for the meat at home, and Bei Shi will be responsible for the wild vegetables. , his legs are not good, but the collection can still be done, and it happens to stay with Anyue to relax. The location of the collection is not far away, and the orcs are still arranged to pay attention to protection.

The entire construction process is at the end of the fourth month of autumn and summer, and winter is about to enter.

In addition to one set of houses for each family, there are ten vacant houses. The area of ​​the tribe is not large, so in the case of ensuring the living area and safety, the tribe built a ten-meter-high and one-meter-wide tough tree. The clay wall has four exits, front, back, left, and right, and the back leads directly to the back mountain. If there is anything, it can also be used as a back road.

The other three sides are used as exits. Every day, there are six orcs who take turns guarding in groups of two or two. Even if the orcs on duty do not go out on the day of duty, they can still get prey. Of the ten vacant rooms, five of them are used to store all the tribe’s belongings. things.Including cloth, hides, surplus food, or crafting tools, etc.

The integration of the two tribes could not be so smooth. During the period, there were also Dar clan who looked down on the weaker females who had just arrived, and envied them for the things they used and the abundance of food.

Shu Ke was still thinking about how to further strengthen the connection between the two clans. After seeing Xiaobai and Momo bringing Dahl's cubs, he loved to play, so he decisively decided that if there were no major problems, he would not care about them. After all, they have to live together, and the females are indeed too delicate, and Dahl's females are indeed too old-fashioned. It is not bad for the two clans to urge development.

There are six months in summer, and in the sixth month, the weather is basically turning cold, and winter is about to enter, so the whole tribe is busy storing food.

Meat can be dried or pickled for preservation, and wild vegetables can also be dehydrated and dried in the sun for winter. The staple food, rice, is also sufficient. The tribesmen who migrated, they don't have to worry too much, they mainly store meat.

So apart from Dar's group, Shu Ke and Bei's family, who were out of ammunition and food, were busy storing food.

There is no problem with the safety of the tribe. Bai Ya, Bei Shi, Mu Sen and other orcs can deal with anything that usually happens, so Beta and Shu Ke concentrate on going into the forest to find food.

Whether it's meat or plants, Shu Ke relies on the system and doesn't let them go. Fruit trees and some special plants that can be planted, Shu Ke tries to dig them out and bring them back to Bei Shi for disposal.

Bei's family and Xia's family live together, Mr. and Mrs. Bei share a room, the two old people who saved Xia Zhan share a room, Xia Zhan has a room, Beta has a room, Shu Ke has a room, and there are three guest rooms. There is also a large kitchen, a shower room, and two storage rooms. In addition to the front yard, there is also a backyard covering two acres of land. It can be said that it is the largest house in the tribe.

Various fruit trees were picked and planted in the front yard, and a stream was brought in from the back. Most of the two acres of land were used to grow rice, and the rest were used to grow vegetables. Shu Ke even thought of raising them, but it was almost winter, and raising animals was not easy. Appropriate, can only be reserved for the arrival of spring to make plans.

Half of the food is stored at home, and half is put in the system by Shu Ke. After all, the system can keep the food fresh.

Black pigs are very common here. Beta and Shu Ke try their best to go to forests farther away to hunt large prey. They can also be used as patrols around the tribe to prevent unsettled wild animals from attacking in winter.

This time the two came back with a fruitful harvest as usual, and the house was as usual, with many cubs, and there were many smiles on Anyue's face, and getting along with the two old people was also very pleasant.

However, both of them noticed that the people in the family seemed to be overjoyed, and it seemed that a major happy event had happened.

"Come back, Keke, come here."

Anyue beckoned, Shu Ke naturally wanted to go over, but first motioned them to look at his hands, and then pointed to the dirty clothes: "I'll wash it first, I'll be fine later."

"Okay, then go quickly," Anyue waved, "Beta, when your beast father asks you to go to the tribal meeting room when you come back."

Beta washed her hands and set off without changing her clothes.

"By the way, there is still something to prepare."

"Anyue, don't worry, the two of us can do it together."

"That's right, that's right," Anyue narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I'm just happy that the two children finally..."

Shu Ke paused while holding the clothes, and stepped out with a casual and intentional voice, "What are grandpas and Uncle An talking about so happy?"

"Wait until you come out, go change your clothes first."

Shu Ke who was dismissed was speechless.

The bathing room has a flat roof, and a few strong wooden boards that will not be eaten by insects are built on it. Black glue is used between the boards. In summer, the sun is strong, and the water in the bathing room below can be heated directly through the black glue. , the hot water passes through the pipe made of bamboo, and you can take a shower when it stays. Of course, if you want to turn it off, just insert the bamboo piece two decimeters below the bamboo pipe. It is very simple design and very comfortable enjoyment.

After changing clothes, I washed them naturally. When Shu Ke came out, it was getting late. Two orcs were cooking in the kitchen. Shu Ke originally wanted to help, but An Yue and the old man called him over.

"Grandpa, Uncle An, what's the matter?" He just heard the two mention himself and Beta.

Anyue tapped Shu Ke's forehead. She didn't expect the two children to be so slow in this matter, "What do you think of Beta?"

Shu Ke was taken aback, what's the matter?

"It's good." No, he wouldn't decide to really be with him——Thinking of this, Shu Ke's ears turned red, and he probably guessed what Anyue and the old man were talking about.

"Your brother went to Mu's house this morning."

"...to Mu's house?" Shu Ke didn't realize it, she thought to herself that she was thinking too much, did she mean Xia Zhan and Mu Juan?

"The Mu family has already agreed. I also heard that Yingfei's child and Dongjun are also engaged. Besides them, there are a few other couples who have already agreed. They are planning to hold a ceremony on the first day of winter."

Shu Ke raised her head and looked at Anyue with warm eyes. What did she want to say?

The old man couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he simply clicked on it, "Why don't you and Beta make an appointment together."

Shu Ke understood in seconds, and if he didn't understand like this, he would be a complete fool.

But holding a ceremony, this kind of thing should be the same as getting married, so shouldn't you propose first when it comes to getting married?Beta doesn't seem to have said that.

He agreed intentionally, but got into a dead end again.

"……talk later."

The enthusiasm in his heart was extinguished all of a sudden, and Anyue became anxious.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Beta?" Anyue hesitated, "It's because Bei Shi and I are dragged down—"

"Uncle An," Shu Ke said sadly, "Uncle An, I'm not that kind of person."

Anyue also realized that what he said was too much, so he quickly apologized and asked Shu Ke why.

"...Beta never mentioned this kind of thing to me." Shu Ke lowered her head and said depressedly.

Anyue forgot that the current Shu Ke was no longer the one who chased and forced the orcs to perform rituals with him, but a different Shu Ke.

"I was too anxious," but someone from Beta should have said it, and it is estimated that this matter is sure enough. Thinking of this, Anyue is happy again, "Well, let's wait for Beta to say, but you have to agree first If he says me, you can't refuse, and by then, there will be several couples in our tribe holding the ceremony together."

Probably because he was in the house all year round, Anyue was very concerned and excited about this matter.

When Beta came back at night, his face was a little weird, and Shu Ke didn't think much about it, because he was also full of irritability. The tribe has indeed gradually settled down, and the two tribes have been well integrated. It won't be so soon that there will be orcs chasing after him. On Dahl's female.And they really didn't make any progress, although when they entered the forest, no one made a little kiss, just a little, like kissing on the mouth or something.

It's not that Shu Ke didn't feel Beta's desire and desire, but she always stopped when she wanted to continue.

She didn't eat much for dinner, so Shu Ke packed up her things and went back to her room to sleep.

Lying on the bed but not sleepy at all, he even thought, he is such a cruel person, Beta probably regretted it?Otherwise, why have the two entered and exited together for so long, and Beta never mentioned the ceremony.

"Ke Ke, are you asleep?"

Beta knocked on the door twice nervously, the thing in his hand was as hot as fire, he had begged the old patriarch for a long time, and did it behind Shu Ke's back.

"No, what's the matter?" Shu Ke didn't move, and his mood was still a little low. He knew that he might be thinking too much, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

"Ke Ke, I have something to tell you."

Shu Ke sat up, sighed and went to open the door.

"what's up?"

Beta's face was a little unnatural, "Can you go in and talk?"

"Okay," Shu Ke turned around, sat down at the table, lit the lantern plant by the way, and didn't look at Beta, so she didn't notice that the orc was already sweating nervously.

There was no sound for a long time, Shu Ke raised her head speechlessly, "What the hell—"

The orc knelt down on one knee, and raised his right hand upwards. On the palms of his hands were two green rings, or rings.

"...Ke Ke, I asked Mrs. Zheng, and he said that you have to propose marriage before holding the ceremony. I remember you told me before, so I asked the old patriarch before moving, and asked him to help me with it. Two rings were made of this green stone."

Shu Ke's throat was choked, she didn't speak, she just sat and looked at the orc.

"Keke, in my last life, I failed to meet you and experience those things with you. In this life, are you willing to give me a chance to support each other, grow old together, and let me love you forever?"

Originally prepared a lot of words, but at the end of the day, the words were messed up, and Beta felt uneasy.

Shu Ke suddenly covered her face with her hands, and Beta stood up in a daze, and hugged her into her arms, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Grumble rumble..."

Beta didn't hear it clearly, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"

"...I said don't put the ring on me yet!"
