MTL - I Have a System of Orcs-~ Chapter 67

Cotton plucking tools are relatively easy to obtain on the earth in the 21st century, not to mention that in industrial society, cotton plucking has long been made by hand instead of machine. Now the method given by Xiao Ke is handmade, which is exactly what Wei Changcheng wanted. After all, Wei Changcheng also has a way to make a machine if he is given the machine method.

The tools needed to pluck cotton are belt, slingshot, wooden hammer, bamboo weaving, bamboo sieve and grinding head. It sounds like a lot of things, but the good thing is that these things are not difficult to make. In addition, the raw materials are not only wood, but also bamboo. , there is no need to worry about not enough. The belt is a bit difficult. It is difficult to make a belt without beef tendon, but it is easy to solve in the end. You must know that there are many prey caught every day, and there are not no such things as cattle, especially the beasts. One of the most frequently caught prey is a prey called the one-horned ox, which is about half larger than the cattle that Wei Changcheng has seen in his impression.

It took several people a day to make everything. Wei Changcheng was a little excited with a complete set of tools. When Daniel went to retrieve the cotton, Wei Changcheng couldn't wait to get started. The movements were a bit jerky at the beginning, but it became easy later on.

When Wei Changcheng took off the tools on his body, he was snatched by Alan on the side, and he got his hands in a few strokes. Wei Changcheng curled his lips, Alan is really suitable for this kind of work! After Allen tried it, Roy and Boris also tried it. After there was no problem, everyone decided to let the females do these things tomorrow.

"No, it's better to let the males bring back the trees tonight, otherwise the females won't be able to go outside the tribe to cut down trees tomorrow," Daniel said.

Wei Changcheng nodded: "That's right, I forgot about it. In addition, let the males get down the bamboo on the mountain. It is also very dangerous for the females to climb back and forth."

Everyone present had no objection, so they ordered to go down and do it.

On the next morning, Wei Changcheng told all the women about the use of cotton and the tools to make cotton, and was unexpectedly welcomed by all the women.

During this year's snowy month, the females can eat enough without being exposed to the severe cold, but the males are different! Pregnant females naturally have their own partners to accompany them. However, most of the partners have to live separately. They are warm in the earthen house, but their partners are exposed to the cold in the cave. The females are naturally unwilling. Now I hear Wei Changcheng say that the cotton can help the males keep warm, how can the females bear it? Immediately, he started working in full swing.

Wei Changcheng threw everything to Daniel and the others, sat on the ground in a daze, thinking about what else he needed to prepare. After much deliberation, I finally came up with nothing that could be used for lighting. Males are capable of night vision, it doesn't matter whether there is light or not, but females are different, even females with good eyesight cannot achieve night vision. Therefore, for the females, it is really dark after dark every day, and they can't see anything. Wei Changcheng really wants to find something that can be used for lighting, not only because the females need it, Wei Changcheng also prefers bright nights, after all, no one can sleep when it is dark. Although it is said that you can make a fire, the cave is okay, but the feeling of making a fire in the earthen house is really not very good.

It’s best to ask Daniel and the others about this kind of thing. Wei Changcheng is not familiar with the environment here, and the situation will not improve much in the future. After all, Wei Changcheng basically doesn’t come out of the tribe very much.

Wei Changcheng stood up and called Daniel who was not far away: "Daniel, do you know that there is something that can emit light at night?"

"Shine light?" Daniel was at a loss for a while, not knowing why Wei Changcheng asked this question, but Daniel, who had always supported Wei Changcheng's work, began to think about Wei Changcheng's question without asking anything. After thinking for a while, he said: "Yes , there is a brightly colored plant that grows under the tree, but we didn’t give it a name. It glows brightly at night, and there are all kinds of colors.”

Huh? It grows under the tree, and the color is still very bright. Wei Changcheng was the first to think that this should be a poisonous mushroom, right? ! But mushrooms that glow at night? Wei Changcheng expressed that he was very interested in going to have a look.

"That kind of food is very common in the rainy moon, and there are still a lot of it now, but it is almost impossible to see it in the snowy moon." Daniel added.

Wei Changcheng nodded. To be honest, Wei Changcheng didn't want to put poisonous mushrooms in the room as lighting. Let’s not talk about whether someone will eat it by mistake. If the mushrooms that are left in the house for a few days will die, wouldn’t it be necessary to pick mushrooms every few days? Forget it, Wei Changcheng still hopes to find something that can always emit light, and it will be ok to just find a piece of animal skin to cover it when he sleeps!

"Is there anything else that can emit light?" Wei Changcheng continued to ask.

Daniel frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't know anything else. Basically, the orcs don't go out to the tribe at night. Maybe there are things that can emit light, but I don't know."

Wei Changcheng said: "Is that so?" He pondered for a moment, "Let's go out and look for it together in the evening."

"No, it's too dangerous at night." Daniel flatly refused.

"Just be careful." Wei Changcheng sniffled, "If you don't go with me, maybe I will go alone. Tell me, should you follow me or run out by myself?"

The wrinkles on Daniel's forehead can kill a fly, and he formed a partner with Wei Changcheng. I don't know if his face will be full of wrinkles at a young age. Daniel obviously doesn't want to go out at night, but let Wei Changcheng alone at night It is absolutely impossible for Daniel to agree to sneak out. However, Daniel knows better that it is fine to keep Wei Changcheng by his side all the time, but if he finds a chance, Wei Changcheng will definitely turn into a beast and run away Yes, but the problem is that Daniel can't catch up with Wei Changcheng! So under the threat of Wei Changcheng, Daniel had no choice but to nod helplessly: "Okay, the two of us tonight, no, let's add Roy and Elton, and the four of us will go out together."

Wei Changcheng agreed, and didn't care about Doroy and Elton. His purpose was to go out at night to find something that could be used for lighting, not to go out with Daniel to live a two-person world.

Daniel went to find Roy, and stopped by to tell Elton who was off today. The two agreed to go out at night, and Daniel felt a little relieved.

The hunting team came back earlier today, and it was still a little bright, but the harvest was very good. According to the males who came back, today they encountered white-haired beasts that live in groups. The white-haired beasts look similar to sheep, but the taste is better than mutton. It's lighter, not that big of mutton smell. White-haired beasts are also one of the prey that orcs eat on weekdays, not only because these white-haired beasts are easier to catch, but also because white-haired beasts live in groups, once they meet white-haired beasts, they will know that today's prey is absolutely is enough.

Wei Changcheng usually doesn't go when the food is distributed, and this time is no exception, but when he was about to walk in the direction of Boris Cave, Wei Changcheng was stopped by Jeffrey.

Wei Changcheng was a little surprised. Normally, the patriarch is responsible for the food distribution. Now that the food is still being distributed, why did the patriarch come here?

Jeffrey said: "I have something to ask you." After a pause, "Let's talk about it here."

Wei Changcheng nodded, and it didn't matter where he said it. As a primitive orc, there were very few secrets, and there was no rule of avoiding people in everything, except of course gossip about others.

"The snowy moon is coming, our eastern tribes will naturally be able to spend it safely, but those small tribes may not be sure. Every snowy month, the small tribes either unite to spend the snowy moon together, or come to find the eastern tribes. Asylum. I don't know how many tribes will come to our eastern tribe this year, but there will definitely be tribes."

Wei Changcheng frowned slightly. He really ignored this matter. He had heard it mentioned before, but he didn't take it to heart at that time. But now it seems that this kind of situation will happen sooner or later in Xueyue. Not knowing what Jeffrey's intentions are, Wei Changcheng thought about it and said, "If there are tribes coming to the eastern tribes, they will naturally help where they can."

Jeffrey said: "It's also because I didn't think carefully before. I only thought that the earthen house and food are enough for our eastern tribes, but I forgot that the small tribes of the eastern tribes will come. Hey, I think the earthen house should also leave some space If there are tribes coming out of the room, their females will not be able to live in the cave."

Wei Changcheng nodded: "This is what it should be. Females are not as good as males. Fortunately, when I built the earthen house, I deliberately made more empty rooms. I think that if other tribes come, they can almost live there. I was thinking of squeezing it."

"It doesn't matter, no one cares about those." Jeffrey waved his hand, and then hesitated, "The food is designated to be enough for our tribe, even if we don't go hunting for the whole Xueyue, it is enough to eat, you see ..."

Wei Changcheng blinked his eyes: "Patriarch, the order of food is up to the patriarch, so I naturally have no objection. But you also know, patriarch, that when Fengyue comes, I am afraid that the Bainiao tribe will come to the eastern tribe to take revenge. I'm afraid that most of the males don't have time to hunt, so they can only count on the food we have stored in Xueyue. As long as there is enough food left for the Hundred Birds to come over, I have no problem with other food."

Jeffrey was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I understand." He patted Wei Changcheng on the shoulder.

"When will they come?" Wei Changcheng asked.

"That's the nearest day." Jeffrey replied, "It won't be Xueyue at the latest."

Wei Changcheng said: "Alright, when they come, just teach them about the cotton. After all, you can't hide the cotton because they don't use it."

Jeffrey laughed and said, "I have to teach them sooner or later, it's the same whether it's early or late."

Wei Changcheng sighed in his heart for Jeffrey's magnanimity. If this is placed in modern times, he is simply a rare kind person!
