Not long after, the beast-form Frey flew back with a huge locust tree branch in his mouth.
Di Nai thought enviously. It was so convenient to do things with wings. He could go anywhere very quickly.
With the help of the locust, Maji washed the entire deerskin clean and hung it on a stone by the river. He then found a rough stone with grains on the surface by the river and rubbed it on the animal skin. After rubbing for a long time, the minced meat on the animal skin was basically cleaned. He then rinsed the animal skin in water again.
Then he stood up and said to Di Nai,"Now that the first step is basically completed, let's go back to the cave first!”
Di Nai stood up and realized that Frey had already left. The venison, antlers, and fish were all gone. It seemed that Frey had brought it back to the cave in advance.
Thus, Di Nai leaned on his walking stick, grabbed his things, and took down the clothes hanging on the tree with Maji. Then, the two of them walked towards the cave together.
Maji was very curious about Di Nai's clothes, but the style and material of the clothes were beyond his imagination, so he did not know where to start asking.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he smelled a fragrance. It turned out that Frey had already roasted the venison in the cave.
Maji hung the deer skin on the tree branch at the entrance of the cave, then walked to the fire pit and sat down. She drooled over the deer meat."It looks delicious. Frey, quickly give me a piece."
Thus, Frey immediately cut a piece with his dagger and handed it to him.
Maji took the venison and blew on it twice. She couldn't wait to start eating. Then, she mumbled to Di Nai,""Hurry up and eat. Fresh venison is delicious.”
Di Nai couldn't help but laugh,"This guy is really quite cute." He slowly walked over and sat down.
Frey cut off the most tender piece of meat from the deer and handed it to him. Then, he cut a large piece for himself and started to chew on it.
Frey adapted to the dagger very quickly. He found that having a dagger was really convenient. He did not know what this dagger was made of. If he could make more and distribute it to the clansmen, it would be good.
However, it looked like it would be very difficult. It was better to ask Di Nai later.
Di Nai hugged the venison and took two bites. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't seen the waiter for a long time, so he shouted outside the cave,""Waiter, Waiter!"
After not seeing him return for a while, Di Nai couldn't help but worry.
Frey said," I saw your Grunt when I went to get the soap. He was fishing for fish in the river! Don't worry, the Guru Beast runs very fast and won't be caught easily.”
Even so, Di Nai was still a little apprehensive, afraid that something would happen to it. After all, the waiter was very important to Di Nai. It was both a pet and a friend.
He remembered that the Gru Beast liked to eat the fish he cooked the most, so he cut open the fish Frey brought back and washed it to cook fish soup. He also asked Frey to go outside and break a few willow branches and peel them off to use as chopsticks.
Maji was very curious about what Dini called chopsticks. Usually, they ate fish directly with their hands.
Dini demonstrated the operation of the chopsticks. Maji and Frey couldn't learn it for a long time, but they dropped their chopsticks on the ground countless times.
Di Nai looked at them helplessly, thinking that they would have to practice using chopsticks for a while.
Soon, the fish soup emitted a rich fragrance. When Maji smelled the fragrance, she also crawled out of the room and blinked her eyes.
Sure enough, the waiter came back from outside.
Dini gave him the fish tail, and it gurgled happily.
Maji tried to pick up the fish with his chopsticks and failed nine times out of ten. However, he was not discouraged and continued to work hard.
Frey tried it once, but he didn't try again. He focused on eating his venison.
The three of them were eating happily when they heard someone shouting outside,"Maji, Maji."
"Haha, that Heda guy is back."”So he walked out of the cave to talk to Hedda.
After a while, he came in with a rabbit, his face full of smiles. Behind him was Heda, who was carrying a few small animals. He said,"I said I only needed a rabbit and a deer, and he caught a bunch for me. How can I finish it!" He smiled at Di Nai again. He hasn't eaten anything yet!"
Di Nai looked at his peach blossom face and thought that Maji must like Heda. He smiled and greeted,"Heda, please sit. Don't stand on ceremony."”
Heda still showed his signature silly smile.
Maji pinched his arm." Quick, what are you standing there for? Put the food down and eat!"”
Frey roasted another large piece of venison over the fire, and the four of them continued to eat.
Maji also gave a pair of chopsticks to Heda and asked him to learn how to pick up fish. Then, she laughed loudly as she watched Heda's clumsy movements. However, in the end, Maji couldn't stand it anymore. She used her unpracticed chopstick technique and picked up a piece of fish to feed Heda.
As expected, Heda really liked to eat fish. Just like the waiter, his eyes narrowed as he ate.
Frey watched enviously from the side, then glanced at Dini, thinking that it would be great if he could feed me fish like this. Of course, this wish was basically impossible to achieve. Di Nai did not have that consciousness at all
There was very little fish meat, and Maji kept feeding Heda, so he finished it very quickly. Then, everyone drank a little bit of the fish soup. In the end, there was not even a residue left.
Di Nai sighed. Primitive and unpolluted things, even if only salt was added, were still so fragrant.
The salt that was added this time was brought by Frey. Di Nai asked where the salt came from, and Maji explained that the salt in the tribe was picked from a very distant place. There was a lake there. The water was salty, and there was salt frost by the lake. The clansmen collected the salt frost. Every once in a while, the tribe would go out on a large scale to harvest salt.
After eating, Maji asked Hedda to help bring the animals back to his cave. He left a rabbit for Di Nai, saying that smaller animals tasted better. Di Nai did not refuse.
Frey cleaned up the battlefield and washed the helmet. Then, he found the herbs that the Great Wizard had given him and made some medicine for Dini.
Di Nai was really touched to see him busy. He thought to himself, This guy is really meticulous. I forgot to take my medicine.
Dini had just finished his medicine when Maji came over again.
As soon as Maji came in, she pulled Di Nai to relieve herself, saying that she didn't like to go there alone, afraid that the beastmen would see her.
Di Nai had no choice but to follow.
When Di Nai arrived at the place, he found that it was a round straw hut supported by tree trunks, branches as walls, and hay as a roof. Because the people here were all quite tall, the straw hut was also quite tall. He went in and saw that it was a dry latrine with a few long pits dug. They were smart enough to make the toilet like this. However, there wasn't even bamboo here, let alone toilet paper. There were a few large leafy tree branches in the corner. The leaves on them seemed to be toilet paper.
When they came out, Dini asked Maji,"Where do the orcs go if they want to relieve themselves?"”
"Orcs have wings," said Maji."They usually fly outside to settle things.”
Di Nai thought about it. It made sense. Most wild beasts would dig a hole with their claws and then cleverly bury it. The sky was wide outside, so it was a convenient and sanitary choice!
When they returned to the cave, they found that the deerskin hair was almost dry, and Margie began to prepare for the next step--the tanning.
Maji had just returned home and brought over a green liquid in a bamboo tube. Maji told Di Nai that the juice was squeezed out of willow branches. He happened to have some left, so he brought it over. Di Nai thought that it was probably the acid. He had heard before that willow branches contained ellanic acid.
After neatly smearing the hairless side of the animal skin with the liquid, Maji rolled up the animal skin and placed it in a corner of the cave.
Maji said that in another three to five days, she could take it out and grind off a layer of skin. That way, the animal skin would not be damaged. However, it was best not to let the animal skin touch water. If it touched water, it would easily be damaged.
Maji also told Dini that they sometimes used lime to tan animal skins. However, lime had a rather strong smell, and its tanning effect was only average, so many non-orcs didn't like it unless it was convenient.
When it was time to tan, Peg came over and brought several bamboo tubes for Di Nai.
He said that he had forgotten that the bamboo tubes in the cave could be used to store things, so Di Nai accepted them gratefully.
Peg was complaining that his back had been sore recently and that he couldn't eat much.
Di Nai complained in his heart. He worked so hard last night, so of course his back was sore!
Peg didn't stay for long before he left.
After Peg left, Dini suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Frey if there was anyone else in his family!
He had been taken care of by them. It would be rude if he didn't even greet their parents.
So he asked Frey,"Frey, other than Peg, do you have any other family?"”
Frey smiled, his expression faintly filled with happiness."Yes, my father and mother were tired of living in this valley and moved to another valley. I still have a big brother. He has already found a partner and is now living in another valley with his partner! I'll introduce them to you another day.”
Di Nai nodded, thinking to himself that the mothers here were called 'mother-father'! It was really a little awkward!
Di Nai stood there in a daze for a while. Suddenly, he remembered what he had said earlier. He wanted to use the antlers to make antler glue. He was still waiting for the deerhorn frost to heal his injuries!
Because of the inconvenience, he still asked Frey for help. He cut off a piece of deer horn, washed it, and put it in his helmet. Then, he filled half of the helmet with water and put it on the fire to boil deer horn glue.
However, even though the wooden shelves were made of wet wood, they would still burn out after being baked for a long time. Therefore, someone had to keep an eye on them and change them every so often.
Di Nai thought, I might as well build a stove to save myself the trouble. He used to live in the countryside, and from time to time, he could see the villagers build a stove. Later, when he was in the army, he also built a stove during field training, so it was not a problem to build a simple stove.
He asked Frey to help him find a pile of rocks of similar size with a relatively flat surface. Then, he told him to help him find some mud. However, the mud couldn't be the kind of mud by the river. It had to be the mud from the grasslands and grasslands. That kind of mud was more sticky.
Frey immediately understood. He was quite smart. He found a piece of old beast skin and quickly brought back a pile of mud.
After the stones and mud were found, Di Nai started work. Frey and Margie both went over to take a look curiously.
He used stones to form the shape of a stove and then covered the gaps with mud. Soon, the stove was ready. Di Nai put some firewood in to burn and found that the ventilation was not bad. When the stove wall was a little harder, he put the helmet on it and it was just right. Hence, he began to add firewood to the stove to boil glue.
Frey and Maji both felt that this thing called a stove was not bad, but it was a pity that they did not have a container that could not be burned like Dini.
Hearing them say this, Di Nai suddenly thought of the great invention of the Neoliths-pottery.
In the past, the instructor always said that as a special forces soldier, you have to learn to live like a primitive person.
Therefore, Di Nai specially looked up some information to see how primitive people lived. Among those materials was how to make pottery. However, he only knew the basic steps and had never practiced them before.
Forget it, no matter what, I'll just fumble around first!
Only through practice could one learn true knowledge!
I recommend a good new novel, Dog God. It updates steadily and the quality is not bad. Friends of the book famine can take a look, hehe. Welcome to Favorites and Submissions
