Orc's Loyalty
Frey stood there awkwardly in his small tent.
Fortunately, the wound was at the back. Di Nai squatted diagonally behind him and did not look forward, so he did not notice Frey's abnormality.
Di Nai tied the bandage and stood up. Frey was a little afraid that he would scare Di Nai like this, so he quickly said that he had to deal with the dagger he had brought yesterday. He took the dagger from Di Nai, dragged the dagger, and ran out of the cave in a hurry.
Di Nai looked at his flustered appearance and was a little confused.
Frey had gone out to do some work, and Maji had not returned yet. Di Nai was stunned for a moment. He realized that he was alone in the room and seemed to be quite bored. He suddenly remembered that he had been using chopsticks to cook these days. There was no spoon when she drank the soup.
Since he was fine, he might as well make a few bamboo spoons and shovels.
He picked up the bamboo tube that was piled on top of the stone, cut it open with a dagger, and slowly polished it. Bamboo shovels were easier to make, so they were done very quickly. Zhu Shao was a little troublesome. It would take a lot of effort!
Just as he was doing it energetically, Di Nai suddenly heard the sound of a whip being whipped outside. He stood at the entrance of the cave and saw that Leo had come over again. He was playing with the top with great enthusiasm. When he saw Di Nai, he shouted happily,"Uncle Di Nai, look, I can play with the top for a long time now without stopping!”
"Not bad, Leo," Dini praised him.”
Frey came back from the river with the meat of the roasted meat. He saw the little orc and asked,""Leo, have you had lunch?"
Leo shook his head.
"Your brother isn't home?" Frey asked again. Did he leave you and go out to play?”
Leo answered obediently,"Brother went to find the female he likes."”
Frey frowned." Ricky is too much. Aren't you afraid of starving yourself?" Why don't you come over and have lunch with us this afternoon?”
"Yeah, eat with us!" Di Nai echoed.”
When Leo heard that there was delicious food, he immediately beamed."Thank you, Uncle Frey, thank you, Uncle Dini.”
At this moment, Maji and Heda also returned. The pepper tree had indeed been dug up and brought back.
Thus, Frey and Heda worked together to carry the tree to the open space by the river. Leo also followed curiously to help. Maji walked into the cave and took out the things in the basket one by one.
Di Nai followed and found that Maji's basket was actually filled with many mushrooms, so he reached in and took them out to check. He only recognized one of the large yellow ones as boletus. The rest were unfamiliar. However, he did not know if it was poisonous.
" It's raining," said Maji happily." The mushrooms are out, so I couldn't help but pick a lot." Look, this is a sheep's head mushroom. We used to pick it and make soup with bamboo tubes. It's very delicious.”
Di Nai thought that since it was often eaten, it should be non-toxic. Mushrooms were very nutritious and tasted good. It seemed that he was in for a treat today. "I thought you guys only ate meat and fruits!"”
"Who said that? We eat wild vegetables too." However, I didn't go to the jungle a few days ago, so I didn't come back to pick wild vegetables. You see, this time I picked some turnips. This dish is also delicious in soup."
Di Nai took a look. Sigh, isn't this big bitter vegetable? What a big tree! So there was such a thing here! Eating meat to reduce heat was not bad.
Di Nai found that there was something long like a yam in the basket. "What's this?" he asked Marge.”
Margie said,"I dug this out when I was digging up the pepper tree. I tasted it carefully and found that it was sweet and not poisonous, so I took it back.”
Di Nai also broke off a small piece from the top to taste. He found that this thing tasted a little like a sweet potato, but the skin was a little thick and not as sweet as a sweet potato. However, it didn't look like a Chinese yam. Let's just call it sweet potato root.
Beside the sweet potato root was a large leaf, which was wrapped in chili. It seemed that Maji's trip to the jungle was really fruitful!
Maji discussed with Di Nai." I've eaten your cooking a few times and learned a lot from you. Let me try it today."”
Di Nai couldn't wait for someone to do it for him and immediately raised his hands in agreement."Alright, I still have a few bamboo spoons to make! Let me have a taste of your cooking.”
Therefore, after Maji washed the vegetables, she began to cook according to Di Nai's cooking method.
Di Nai was making a bamboo spoon and talking to Maji. He remembered Leo saying that his friends laughed at him for not having a father or a mother, so he asked Margie,""What happened to Leo's father and mother?”
"Leo is really pitiful. His parents were in poor health and passed away early after giving birth to him. His father was so sad that he entrusted him to his brother and went out to wander alone. His orc brother didn't know how to take care of the child, so he let him play by himself every day.”
Di Nai felt that it was a little unbelievable. How could an adult abandon their child and wander around? "Will Leo's father come back in the future?" he asked.”
Margie shook her head." Usually, beastmen who have lost their partners will wander outside until the day they die.”
He actually lost his partner and wandered to his death. Were Beastmen really so loyal? " Have no orcs ever thought about finding another partner after losing one?" asked Dini doubtfully.”
Margie's eyes widened in surprise. Once we've confirmed our partners and held a ceremony, we've made a vow before God. From then on, we'll be wholeheartedly devoted to our partners and never change.”
Di Nai was surprised. He did not expect the beastmen tribe to be such a traditional and devoted tribe. In comparison, the love and affection in the original world that appeared like a flash in the pan was really cold.
While Di Nai was still in a daze, the three people who had been planting the tree had returned. Frey and Heda began to roast the meat. Maji also cut a piece of meat to make chili stir-fried meat, then made stir-fried mushrooms and bitter vegetable soup. At this time, Di Nai's bamboo spoon was also successfully made. As expected, drinking soup like this was much more convenient.
It had to be said that Maji was indeed skillful. She had only seen Di Nai cook a few times before, but she could already make the dishes presentable. Everyone's praise made Maji a little embarrassed, but she was still happy.
Leo had probably never eaten so well before. He kept praising how delicious it was until his stomach became round. Everyone gave in to him and tried their best to give him all the good food.
Of course, Di Nai did not forget to feed the waiter. After all, only a qualified pet owner could make a pet more loyal!
After eating, Frey was called away by an orc, saying that the patriarch wanted him to help find a place to build a cave for pottery. Now, everyone in the tribe had seen the use of pottery and liked it more and more. Therefore, they needed to expand the scale of making pottery.
Frey had basically learned all of Di Nai's skills in building a kiln, so it was enough for the patriarch to just let Frey go.
Leo went out to play again after lunch, and Margie also wanted to play with the top like a child. Heda watched Maji play from the side, his eyes full of affection.
Di Nai had nothing to do, so he joined in the fun. Therefore, a few people competed to see who could make the top spin longer. Of course, there wasn't much of a comparison. After all, Maji was just a beginner.
After joking for a while, Di Nai remembered that he had said in the morning that he wanted to use bamboo to make a basket. Since Maji had nothing to do, he might as well make it now. Di Nai told Maji to stop playing and make something new. Maji always had a strong interest in new things. When she heard Di Nai's words, she immediately ran over.
Di Nai told Maji about the idea of making bamboo ware, and then began to discuss with Maji how to improve it to make the basket stronger. He also mentioned a few tools that could be fabricated.
In the past, every household in the countryside used a lot of bamboo utensils, including dustpans, bamboo baskets, backbaskets, wicker baskets, and so on. Generally, these bamboo ware were not bought outside. Instead, they cut bamboo from their own mountains and asked the bamboo craftsman to work. When he was young, Di Nai had seen the bamboo craftsman do work at home many times. Therefore, he knew how to cut bamboo and how to make wicker baskets.
Maji was indeed very smart. She understood many things with just a little bit. As long as Di Nai mentioned the main steps, he would roughly know what it was like.
When the two of them were almost done discussing, Di Nai asked He Da to chop two bamboos back.
Soon, the bamboo was cut back. After Di Nai cut off all the branches and leaves on the bamboo, he began to cut the bamboo strips. First of all, he had to split the bamboo into two parts: a tube of green bamboo, split into bamboo strips, and then split the bamboo skin and bamboo core into green bamboo strips and yellow bamboo strips.
Splitting bamboo strips was also a technical job. Although Di Nai was very familiar with using the dagger, the bamboo still left many small wounds on his hands. After chopping some bamboo, he asked Maji to weave baskets. The yellow bamboo was harder and was usually used as a frame. The green bamboo was softer, so he used it to weave the details.
Maji was indeed skillful. In the beginning, she still needed to redo it from time to time. She pulled Di Nai to let him see if it was right. Later on, she could operate it more smoothly.
The two of them worked hard to make baskets. Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do, Heda went hunting.
In the evening, Frey returned. Seeing that they were making new things, Frey was no longer surprised. Frey told Dini that the patriarch had invited him to dinner to thank him for the changes he had brought to the tribe.
Di Nai thought," That's my parents. They're treating us. There's nothing much to say. We have to go." But what about Margie? If they went together, the clan leader probably didn't prepare so much food, right?
"Don't worry about me. I'm still waiting for Hedda. He'll definitely get some animals." I'll take this time to finish weaving this basket.”
Di Nai didn't say anything more. He put down the things in his hands and followed Frey to the banquet. Of course, he still flew over on Frey's back. The tribe leader's cave was upstream of the river. This was the first time Di Nai had gone there. The clan leader had a partner, so he also lived on the cliff.
When Frey flew into the cave, Dini saw a person peering at the entrance of the cave. It was a non-orc with black hair and blue eyes. He was not tall, only about 1.75 meters. When he saw Frey, he immediately came over to welcome him."Brother Frey, you're here?"
Dini climbed down Frey's back, and Frey quickly transformed into a human and nodded.""Yes. Ada. You came to your uncle's house to play?"
Ada smiled and said," Yes, I haven't been to Uncle's house for a long time. This time, Alan heard that he was going to dig a cave and wanted to come over to help, so he brought me along.”
Frey introduced him." This is Dini, the person who taught us how to make pottery.”"This is the chief's nephew, Ada. The orc inside is his twin brother, Alan.”
Di Nai greeted Ada, and Ada returned his greeting, sizing him up.
Ada had big round eyes and waist-length black hair. She looked quite cute. Although it was too funny to say that a 1.75-meter-tall man was cute. However, he gave Di Nai the feeling that he was so slender and cute.
Di Nai finally saw someone shorter than him here, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. It turns out that I'm not the shortest. How satisfying!
However, Di Nai felt that the way he looked at him seemed a little unfriendly.
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
