Chapter 137： sweet first light

Xia lay on Lei Jin's shoulder and groaned, almost forgetting this little thing.

"Dad." Bubble twisted her small body and called out again in a daze, curled up and didn't move, the knots of the package were broken, the fluffy cotton **** scattered on the ground, and the little mermaid was still there. He was in a deep sleep, wearing a new jasmine white shirt, revealing only the golden fishtail underneath.

Lei Jin chuckled and looked around, but he didn't see anyone else's figure. He wondered, "Why did you only bring back the bubbles? What about Berg and the others?"

Xia mixed some warm water, pulled Lei Jin over to wash off the corn paste on his hands, and said, "I found the bubbles at the market."

"Found it? Why didn't you pick up some money and come back?" Lei Jin thought that Xi Ya was joking, so he flipped the water off his hands and pulled over the cloth towel hanging on the shelf.

Xia smiled and said: "It's true, I met Patriarch Leping at the market, and he was telling me about the animal skin pocket you made, when someone in the crowd shouted that there was a little mermaid dragging him at the entrance of the market. A large string of beaded mussels, looking for someone everywhere to take him to the Leopard Clan to find his father, I guess it is a bubble."

"What is Berg doing?" He left Bubble alone in the mixed market.

"I don't know about this, alright, leave it to me here, and take Bubble back to the house." Xia pinched Lei Jin's waist, pushed him out, cleaned it by herself, and rolled up her sleeves When he started pasting the pancakes, his posture was much more proficient than Lei Jin's, kneading the balls, pasting the pancakes, and still remembering to turn over half a pot of undercooked duck meat.

"Let me come. You drink this Nuan Nuan first." Lei Jin settled the bubbles and helped Xia make a big bowl of rice flour paste with powdered sugar on the end, which was warm and sweet. He asked himself that he had a good conscience, how could Xia be allowed to cook as soon as he came back for so many days.

"Why don't you stay with them in the house?" Xia took it and took two sips.

"Bubble is still sleeping, and the three little guys are watching."

There were half-cut tofu on the chopping board and shiitake mushrooms in the pot, and Lei Jin was ready to continue.

"Anything else you want to eat? Mushroom and tofu soup? I can make this, don't touch your hands. Besides, you don't need two people."

The pancakes that had just come out of the pan were very hot, and Xia grinned hotly, but she was probably hungry, so she killed half of the pancakes with the rice flour gooey, and handed the other half to Lei Jin, pointing to the bench at the mouth of the stove, and said: "It's still delicious at home. If you're fine, just sit there and talk to me."

The food would not be cooked for a while, and Lei Jin saw that he was so hungry, so he found a long bamboo skewer, strung some sausages and spring rolls left over from noon at intervals, and brushed a layer of homemade sauce. Tsukuru sat down with nothing to do with the stove, but his right leg didn't live up to his expectations.

"I'll bake something, and you'll pad your stomach first."

"Stay away from the fire, don't burn yourself." Xia smiled and rubbed the mushrooms with her head down, not noticing the abnormality that hit him.

Lei Jin held the cake in his mouth, moved his feet a little obediently, added two pieces of firewood, grilled the sausages and spring rolls, the sauce and oil dripped on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and after a while the skin Slightly burnt and ready to eat.

Moya and Mingya were on duty this month, and they had to patrol the periphery of the tribe every day. The tribe uniformly provided meals and would not return until midnight.

It was getting dark fast in the winter, and I was just about to lock the door after dinner. Aiwei's family came over to deliver things. Because Xia bought a lot this time, some Aiwei helped me bring them back. Time passed by. Quick, it is especially obvious on children. Shuli is now a half-year-old child of seven or eight years old. Like his father, he is black and strong, and his temperament is also simple and cute. When he was a child, he joked about Lei Jin's drooling, and he just scratched his head and laughed.

Lei Jin saw that Aiwei and the others seemed to have something to talk about, so he sent Grape to lead Shuli and Lu back to another room to play. Luhui was the second child of Aiwei and Axi, a little female, the same as Grape. He was only a month younger than the grapes. He lived a fair and beautiful life, but he was too shy. The grapes turned over a bunch of walnuts, raisins and candied melon sticks from the cupboard. After shouting several times, he hesitated. came down from Ash's arms.

There were guests at home, and other people naturally couldn't take care of themselves to go to sleep, so An Luo collected some corn from the wall and put in a shallow big rattan frame to rub the particles.

Everyone was busy chatting, nothing was delayed, but Lei Jin was suffering, and sitting there was aching all over, especially the waist and right leg.

Aiwei came over at night this time, and he really had other things to do. It was his grocery store. In the past, all the land in the tribe was planted together. Aiwei went out hunting, and Aki could take care of the shop by himself. They are all distributed to each family, and there is an increasing trend. In addition, there is more food now, and some prey can't eat temporarily. In order to hoard the fertilizer in the ground, many people build pens and feed them on weekdays. There is no shortage of people for stocking. The Aiwei family can only work with him and Axi. They are so busy that they have no time to take care of the shop. The purpose of this visit is to ask their family if they are interested in taking over. After all, they Most of the family members are obvious to all, and the relationship between Aiwei and Xia is also good.

When Xia heard it, she felt that it was not bad. She had the three of them and didn't want Lei Jin to do it, but she also understood that Lei Jin was someone who could live alone, so it would be hard to find a shop for him. Well, let's talk about Ah Me, Ah Me really has something in his stomach, and Lei Jin has a ghost idea. The two of them get together, and they are designated to be able to free up a lot of good things. He had already made up his mind about seven or eight points, and he agreed with what the two grandfathers meant, but thinking that he still had to discuss it with Mo Ya Mingya, he didn't agree.

Aiwei didn't expect people to agree immediately. Seeing that Xia and Lei Jin didn't refuse, they said to keep it for their family first, and the price could be negotiated.

Xiya coaxed the four little guys to fall asleep on Mingya's bed. Seeing that Lei Jin was lying on the bed, he was concentrating on picking up the clams one by one with the knife. Take a shower with me."

Lei Jin hung his head upside down, grinned, and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" Xia heard the wrong sound.

"It's okay, let me down, I haven't undressed yet."

"With me here, you're still worried that you won't be able to take off your clothes." Xia reached out and touched Lei Jin's buttocks. Everyone knew what it meant.

Lei Jin wasn't a pinch person either. As soon as his feet landed, he unbuttoned his clothes and threw them aside, turned around and jumped into the tub. He put some grass roots and leaves in the water, which were given by Mu Ya and used by Lei Jin. After a few times, it was very relieved, and the taste was light, and now everyone in the family uses it.

"There's soap over there." Lei Jin pointed to the newly made trellis by the north wall. It was simple and practical, and it was easy to find small bits and pieces there.

"Are you pulling Ah, the thing that Mu Ya and Mu Ya get together to make every day?" Xi Ya remembered that Lei Jin always said that the grass and leaves that Mu Ya picked were very clean when washing his face and bathing, but it was troublesome to use. It would be nice if it was made into soap or something.

"Yeah, the green one is from suet oil, and the orange one is from lard." Lei Jin was very happy. In fact, it really didn't matter to him. The raw materials were collected by Mu Ya, and the ingredients were tested by Roger. Responsible for joining in the fun.

Xia took the one that was said to be suet and tried it. It was a bit slippery, but it was really nice to apply it on her body. He rubbed some on his fingers, wrapped his arms around Lei Jin's waist, and felt it along the seam of his thighs. Going to the hidden hole in the middle, he stabbed his fingers into it to lubricate, and his lips lingered and kissed on his chest.

Lei Jin's brows wrinkled imperceptibly, but then a smile appeared, his upper body leaned back slightly, his hands rested on Xi Ya's shoulders, he raised his hips voluntarily, teasingly pressed against his half-standing part, Xi Ya pulled out With his fingers, he pressed Lei Jin on the tub, bent his legs and turned forward. The clone got stuck halfway in. Lei Jin was too tight, and both of them felt uncomfortable.

Xiya thought at first that Lei Jin was deliberately making trouble, otherwise the two of them had done it so many times, it would be impossible for Lei Jin to have such a rejection, but when he saw Lei Jin's face, he knew it was a big mistake, Lei Jin The sweat on the hairline was cold and cold to the touch, it was clearly cold sweat, which was more like enduring pain than enjoying.

"Come in again." Lei Jin sighed, letting himself relax.

"What the **** is going on?" Seeing him like this, how could Xia go on, despite how uncontrollable she was, she gritted her teeth, held Lei Jin's buttocks apart, and retreated.

"It's nothing to say." It's just some skin injuries.

Xi Ya couldn't believe him anymore, there were impurities in the water that could not be seen clearly, so she took the person out and checked it up and down, only to find that Lei Jin had a large area of ​​blue and purple on his back, waist, and right leg. A whole lot of blood.

"Who hit this?" Xia's face sank, and it seemed that these injuries were caused by heavy blows.

Lei Jin couldn't hide it at first glance, so he simply confessed.

In winter, when farming is slack, it is better to build some new irrigation canals. In addition, the water in the river is shallow, and you can also clean up the silt deposited in the old canals. At noon today, he accompanied Anbu to have a look. A group of females persevered. The old people came up and brought up the old story again, saying that the mountains and forests behind the tribe should be planted into fields.

Lei Jin had heard about this before, but he didn't care about it. He planted if he wanted to, and reclaimed if he wanted to reclaim it. However, he heard Roger mention it once, saying that without the mountains and forests, the Leopard Clan's excellent water source Even if it is destroyed within ten or eight years, Xia and the others naturally cannot ignore things. In recent years, Anbu has also explained a lot of truth, but people are always like this. No disaster is in sight, and no one believes it. , but the advantage is that you can really see it. With more land and more food, the family can eat and drink well. Lei Jin was impatient and babbled about the same thing over and over again.

To put it bluntly, this world is a wild land. It is nature to speak by force. Whether orcs or females, they are basically the same. The way couldn't be more fair.

First of all, Lei Jin ordered more than 30 females in a row, knowing that if they stopped, it would be more than half successful.

Lei Jin's intelligence is on the bright side, everyone knows, but his body is not considered strong even among females, which greatly increases the confidence of a large number of people.

But after Lei Jin easily knocked down ten, everyone dared not take it lightly. After Lei Jin knocked down twenty, some people began to hesitate. After Lei Jin knocked down thirty, they finally conceded defeat collectively.

When Lei Jin talked to Xia, he naturally said how he was so handsome and how mighty he was, but he knew all too well that he was more experienced in combat, but those females were brute force, so he really got beaten up a lot. .

After Xia heard the whole story, she was both proud and helpless.

Lei Jin shrunk into the bed. What happened later was not important, so he chose to forget it automatically. Just in case, he went to the temple to "discuss" with the old priest like a spring breeze and rain, asking him to do something to destroy it. The mountain forest, the prophecy of the punishment of the gods, the people in the tribe believe that all things have animism, so this method will definitely work, he knows that the old priest is very guilty of Mingya because of the last thing he came of age, and he will not let the old man return it. Very unreasonable thing.

"You can't be so determined to do things, just have a good result, the process is not important." Brother Jin began to instill in Xia the theory he thought was correct. He can guarantee that with such a two-pronged approach, no one will mention it again in the future.

Xia agreed, put the herbs on him, rubbed away the congestion, and said, "Go to bed early, otherwise Moya and the others will come back and ask you again." Anyway, Lei Jin's method is indeed better than theirs. Much better persuasion.

"You're not sleeping yet?" Lei Jin also knew that it was getting late.

Xia leaned over and kissed his face, tilting her head to indicate the open wardrobe over there, which was full of dirty clothes.

Lei Jin coughed and said with a dry smile: "The weather is bad, so I don't want to wash it." What does Lei Jin say? It's one thing to like clean and fresh, but a life like washing and repairing can't be counted on in this life. .

If he also has a motto in life, it is probably that no one is perfect, and handsome guys always have some beautiful shortcomings to set off.

"Yes, it's a beautiful flaw. As for you, husband, you're in charge of sleeping. I'll do the laundry, my wife."

"It's so good." Lei Jin praised with a wide-eyed smile, but changed his tone and said, "But you just came back today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"It's over in a while. Uncle Anbu still has some things for me to do tomorrow."

"Then I'll pry a few more mussels and wait for you to sleep together." The mussels brought by Bubble are all about the size of a fan, and each has two or three beads the size of a baby's fist, all of which can glow, and The light is gentle and not dazzling, and Lei Jin thought about using it as a lamp.

"Have you encountered snow on your way?" Lei Jin put the pryed beads into the clean water basin beside the bed and rinsed them, wiped them clean and stuffed them into his bed.

Xia went to the creek outside and brought in a few buckets of water, took out the hot water pot from the brazier, and replied, "The snow is heavy in the north, and I encountered it twice on the return trip, but nothing major happened. Chaos, I brought back a lot of cotton and cotton cloth this time, enough for you, Qinghe they also said that they would let you go to the wolf tribe to play, and they said that thanks to your good idea, they have worked hard to dig wells over the past few years, It has been effective since last year. With water, the harvest in the field is much better. The people of the bear clan abide by their promise and are willing to sell us bronze and iron. Although the price is high, it is a good start. Patriarch Leping He gave us two small hoes and a small iron pot, which is in the bottom package, well, I didn't see Berg, the things were taken by their clan..."

The charcoal fire was very strong, and the whole room was illuminated red. The night gradually became quiet, and the north wind was howling outside the vast prairie. Xia said, Lei Jin listened, and hummed twice from time to time to show that he was still alive. In fact, these days, he was used to opening the door for Moya and Mingya every day before he could sleep soundly, but he was physically exhausted from fighting today, and his mind was confused.

"Lei Jin, let's put Aiwei's shop next, what do you think?"

"En." Lei Jin subconsciously agreed, and there was no further text.

Xia smiled, got up to help him cover the blanket, and moved the basin to the outhouse to wash.

The water was dripping into ice outside the house. Xia hung the washed clothes outside and fixed them. With such a strong wind, it was estimated that they would be done in one night.

"The wind is really strong tonight." Xia breathed in her hands, looking at the sky in the west, and the orcs were doing their last inspection on duty. Now the days are calm, but no one dares to take it lightly.

When Moya and Mingya came back, Xia was making the bed and hadn't fallen asleep. Taking advantage of their washing time, Xia discussed with them about Aiwei's shop. Moya also thought it was good, Mingya naturally listened to it. two brothers.

"Big brother, do you know? Today Lei Jin is so powerful, he easily defeated more than 30 females." It was just that he and the second brother had to inspect and couldn't see it with their own eyes.

"I already know about this." Xia smiled. Lei Jin's face is as big as the sky, so he will not expose it in front of Mingya. As for Moya, he will find out when he goes to bed.

"Brother, did you know when you just came back?"

"Don't move." Mo Ya was pressing on his left leg and applying heat.

Mingya smiled embarrassedly and sat back obediently.

The four little guys occupied his bed, and Mingya arched onto Xi Ya's blanket and squeezed with him.

"Big brother, what did you buy at the market this time?" Mingya asked, hugging Xi Ya's waist.

"There are a lot of things to buy. You can see it tomorrow." Xia turned over and let Mingya inside. He built this house when he was ten years old. I came out, when I was young, three people could sleep on the same bed, but now two people are a little crowded. So even if Lei Jin didn't talk about building a house, they would still build it. After having a child, the house would really be sleepless.

"Big brother, you are very warm." Mingya stuffed herself into Xia's arms again.

"If you move around again, I'll fall to the ground. It's cold, does your leg hurt?" Their little brother, who was afraid of pain and cried since he was a child, who would have thought that he was the one who suffered so much for Lei Jin. .

"It doesn't hurt, the second brother is just worried, big brother, you see I still have this." Mingya proudly stretched out her left leg to show Xi Ya, the injured area was covered with a large piece of soft animal skin, but the stitches were crooked To the horror, a needle in the east, a needle in the west, the twine is everywhere.

"What did Lei Jin do?" He couldn't think of anyone other than Lei Jin who dared to show his poor needlework skills.

Mingya nodded happily, "Lei Jin said that if you bring this in winter, your legs won't get cold."

"Good, you'll know it for yourself in the future, don't let others see you outside." Xia instructed, pulling Mingya's legs in, and said, "Don't really catch a cold, and let your second brother work blindly. "Mingya was born thin and small, and when children of the same age can run, he can't even crawl, but let him lie down on the bed, he doesn't want to live or die, and he and Moya carry him on their backs every day. Go for a walk.

He has many friends since he was a child, and likes to play around, so most of the time he brings Mingya's affairs to Moya. At that time, people in the tribe often saw a little black leopard with a black leopard on its head. A smaller snow leopard ran alone in the wind in the grassland. Moya was quiet and quiet since she was a child, but she was really kind to her family.

Moya went to see the child, and when she came back, she lifted the blanket, and the room was full of light. There were so many beads on the bed, and Lei Jin was not too panicked. He saw the injuries unexpectedly. He felt distressed but didn't want to ask.

Most of the winter has passed, and there are only a few small snowfalls on the grassland, and in two days, it will be the sacrifice to the moon.

The sacrifice month has passed, and this year is over. After coming here for four years, it was the first time for Lei Jin to celebrate the sacrifice month. Everything felt very fresh. This winter's hunting was all brought by Xi Ya and Mo Ya. In the end, although Anbu also followed this time, he also gave Xi Ya the power to lead the team.

These days, Mingya and a few orcs went to the snow-capped mountains in the west, where the largest river that flows through the grasslands originated. On the day of the festival, the clean water used by the priests and gods must be retrieved from there. Roger came from the cellar early in the morning. Eight good prey were selected, all of which were to be sacrificed. The number of prey in each family depended on the number of adults in the family. It was a reasonable and fair method. No one had any objection. If you want, Lei Jin doesn't believe it, and Roger doesn't believe it either, but you have to follow the customs when you go to the countryside, and everything can't be too outrageous, they still understand.

After a winter, the deserted streets became lively again, and there was an old calendar in the tribe to worship the moon and burn bamboo, so the burning bamboo piles crackled everywhere.

Lei Jin also went to the temple when he was free. The altar was already erected, and the wood was all soaked with animal fat. After lighting it, it could burn for three days without going out.

During these three days, no prey was allowed to be slaughtered in the tribe. Every household started preparing meals early. Their family made a lot of dumplings. Lei Jin felt his stomach. By tomorrow summer, their fourth child should be born.
