In the late spring and early summer, it was a bit cool at this time in previous years, but now it is too hot.
Gu Liu returned to the yard. He planted a red milk fruit tree in the yard. It was tall and luxuriant. The tree was covered with red or green fruits. Let the milk fruit down, otherwise it will rot.
A Du under the tree is sleepy, his belly is very big, and he will have to give birth in two months. The medical team has given him a long vacation. Now he is running between his own house and Gu Liu here, saying that he wants to Cook for Gu Liu, but Gu Liu dared to let him do it. Every day, he went to the cafeteria to order food and came back to eat with him.
As for Adu's orcs, because they joined the city protection team, and because they belong to the White Feather clan, they are always running around outside during this time. It seems that they plan to do more during this time, and then take a month off to take care of Ah Du. Alone, this alone, Gu Liu is still very satisfied.
Wake up A Du, set up the food, two meat and one vegetarian, distinguish it from lotus root stewed pig trotters, well, it's not a serious pig, it's the hoof of a beast with warped teeth, one piece is worth ten in China, plus Over the past few years, the male beasts of the breeding team in the tribe have been instigated since childhood, and the stench has been greatly reduced. After simmering on a low fire for a morning, the taste is soft and sticky, and it melts in the mouth. It tastes nothing like Chinese pork. difference.
The second meat dish is Diguo Braised Chicken, which is salty, sweet and fragrant. It is a characteristic of the Tianhe Tribe. After all, Diguo is one of the first crops grown by the Tianhe Tribe.
The vegetarian dish is cold cucumbers. The so-called cucumbers are actually cucumbers in China, but the cucumbers here are bigger, and they are not long, but oval, and the yield is not low. Now they are smashed and piled up. In the bowl, I added chili, pepper powder, and some sour fruit juice with a taste similar to lemon. It is sour and spicy, which is very appetizing. It is very suitable to eat in such a hot weather.
In recent years, the canteens of the Tianhe tribe have become larger and larger, and more and more people in the tribe like to eat in the canteens. The main reason is that not everyone has good cooking skills, and Gu Liu often visits the canteen from time to time to give some of his own. It is suggested that the food in the cafeteria will become more and more delicious.
Taking a large bowl of rice and three dishes out of the large wooden food box, Gu Liu went to the room to wash two small bowls and woke up A Du to start eating.
A Du rubbed his eyes, stared blankly and started to eat. Halfway through the meal, he was completely awake and said, "Liu, there are red milk nuts in the well, you go and take them out."
Gu Liu got up and went away Next to the well, a well like this was dug in the yard where he lived more than a year ago, and it is much more convenient to use water. Turning the wooden barrel up, it turned out that there were a lot of red milk nuts in it. They were big and thin. There is still a hint of cool air on it, and it is stained with water droplets, which makes people's tongues swell.
Even so, Gu Liu still severely criticized A Du. He was already very dangerous in the yard alone, and he even ran to the well, no matter what he thought, it was not reassuring.
After eating, he ate fruit again, Gu Liu got up to wash the dishes, A Du followed Gu Liu, looked at the sky, and said, "Gu Liu, it has not rained for 20 days." He
simply washed the dishes, and left The water left to water the trees, Gu Liu looked up at the golden sun and the cloudless sky, and sighed slightly: "Yes, I hope it will rain as soon as possible."
This is not only Gu Liu's heart, but also It is something that the Tianhe tribe and all the creatures around it are looking forward to. The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the water in the river is decreasing, but the rainy season that should have come at this time in previous years has been delayed, and everyone realized that it was wrong.
Another half month has passed, the weather has reached the hottest time in previous years, and the rain still hasn't fallen. Two orcs from the Tianhe tribe came to the Tianhe River, and an orc frowned and said, "The river has less water."
These Since days, the river water can be said to be decreasing in units of days. The two orcs frowned, and one of the orcs said worriedly: "I don't know how long it will take to rain. If this continues, will the tribe's fields run out of water to irrigate? , what should I do with the crops in the field?"
His worries were not superfluous, another half month had passed, and the water in the Tianhe River had already dried up. The sun was still scorching hot every day, and there was no sign of rain at all. People will not die of thirst, but the irrigation system excavated from the Tianhe River is completely unusable. Every household in the tribe must save the water they use for washing, vegetables and dishes, and supply it to irrigate the fields of the tribe.
But even so, it was not enough. After the watering was finished, the sun was high up in the blink of an eye, and the water in the land was evaporated. Gu left the order to let the orcs of the farming team go to the forest to collect litter and leaves, and the tribe made various kinds of leaves. The remaining wood chips are also used and all covered in the soil, which can alleviate the evaporation of soil moisture.
Gu Liu also let the orcs of the tribe go to the forest frequently. Forest fires are prone to occur in such hot weather, and they need to be prepared at all times. Otherwise, once they burn, it will be a devastating disaster for the Tianhe tribe.
At the same time, the tribe must also pay attention to the safety of fire. Even if Gu Liu asked the law enforcement team and the city protection team to repeatedly instruct the tribe, there were still a few households that burned down. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no casualties were caused. It was a misfortune. fortunately.
Gu Liu took a leave of absence and didn’t go to work that day, and A Du’s orcs also ran in. There was a no-flying order in the tribe. As soon as he ran in, he grabbed a medical team and asked nervously: “ How's it going? How's A Du?"
Ya Beast said, "A Du has just started, don't worry, the doctor is inside, A Du will be fine."
Inside the room, Gu Liu's head was already sweating, and the side next to him was already sweating. The Asian beast wiped the sweat off him, and he said to Du, "It's great Du, continue to adjust your breathing."
"Inhale, two, three, four, exhale, two, three, four, inhale,..."
This is Lamaze production breathing method can divert the mother's attention from the painful thing of childbirth to breathing, and can also allow the mother to moderately relax the muscles, keep calm, and speed up the delivery of a breathing method[ 1].
This breathing method began to be practiced when A Du was seven months pregnant with the child. Most of the time, his orcs accompany him to practice, and a few times it was Gu Liu. In addition, A Du was also working in the medical team. This method of breathing is not unfamiliar at all. He breathes steadily with the rhythm of Gu Liu...
Until this evening, A Du's orc walked around restlessly in the small courtyard. His sensitive hearing and sense of smell made him He clearly heard A Du's scream and smelled the blood inside. He wanted to rush in, but the orc Ya Beast from the medical team stopped the door, saying that he had a lot of evil spirits on him, and entering it would cause harm to A Du. .
Just when Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush in, the child's cry finally sounded in the room, and a happy voice resounded from the door saying, "It's born!"
Xuan just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard another shout from inside: "There is one more!"
Spin: "!!!" Let me in!
It’s impossible to go in. It’s just that after one is born, the second will be soon. When it was getting dark, A Du gave birth to two children. Gu left it to A Du to clean up his body. After seeing the two children, he fell asleep.
This Gu Liu looked at A Du's two children and couldn't help nodding the eldest. The eldest was not small, she was a little girl and a beast. It was because of her that A Du had such a hard life. It was a little smaller, it was a little boy orc from the feather clan, and there were two small fleshy wings on his back. He was timid, and Gu Liu was afraid of hurting him.
He walked out of the delivery room and let Xuan sterilize the poison before letting him in to see his child and the Asian beast. Gu Liu went outside and took a sip of water. Before he could breathe out, he saw an orc standing outside the courtyard gate. Gu Liu walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" The
orc lowered his voice and said, "Doctor, the chief asks you to discuss things."
His expression was serious, and Gu Liu also knew that ordinary horns would not come to him for matters that could be handled by ordinary horns. Yes, he turned his head and instructed him to take care of A Du, and said to the orc, "Let's go."
When they got to Jiao, Gu Liu realized that not only Jiao, but Roo, Kai, Lie, Hei, Zang, Aya, and others were all there, Gu Liu sank slightly, walked to Jiao and sat down, asking, "What's wrong? Jiao looked at the
others, and finally looked at Gu Liu and said, "Doctor, everyone, the people from the temple are here!"
Gu Liu was stunned for a moment, and asked Lily, "How many people? Where are they?"
Jiao looked at Zang, Zang is an orc from the White Feather Tribe. He said, "There are more than 20,000 people who have arrived at a place 30 kilometers away from the tribe.
" The temple sent people to slaughter the Tianhe tribe!
Since the capture of the Red Feather Orcs, the Tianhe Tribe has captured the Red Feather Orcs twice in half a year. Since then, no one has come from the temple. Now a year has passed, and the temple has come directly. Send troops to slaughter the Tianhe tribe. Aya said: "Calculate the time, the 20,000 temple orcs
should have started from last winter. No wonder there has been no movement for a year."
, there is no intention to overthrow the temple, why did the temple attack us, is it just because the people in the temple did not send news back? Just for something completely unknown, they sent 20,000 people across such a long distance to attack us, Is it worth it?"
Chun said: "The high priest of the temple is an extremely suspicious and controlling orc. In the past, someone in the Tianxing tribe said bad things about him, and that person would be killed the next day. I think the delay in the news of the Tianhe tribe has already made him intolerable."
Gu Liu touched his chin, and suddenly said: "At such a time to attack the Tianhe tribe, what do they drink?"
Everyone was stunned, and then responded Come here, yes, it hasn't rained near the Tianhe tribe for a long time, the water in the Tianhe is sparse and turbid, some small rivers are completely dry, and the vegetation has dried up in many places, and those small tribes who insist not to join the Tianhe tribe Orcs and Asian beasts all joined the Tianhe tribe to escape the drought.
To put it more clearly, in addition to the Tianhe tribe, there is almost no water, no food, and no small tribes around the Tianhe tribe. Under such circumstances, what can the 20,000 orcs in the temple eat here? Just eat, what is the most important thing to drink? In such hot weather, one cannot do without water.
Haha laughed: "This is the gods helping us!"
Kai couldn't help laughing: "The temple, or the temple, the gods chose the Tianhe tribe instead of the temple!"
Aya: "There is no water for a long time . , they can only leave in despair!"
Gu Liu said: "Still be prepared, don't be afraid of 10,000 just in case."
At this moment, 30 kilometers away from the Tianhe tribe, the 20,000 orcs of the temple are directly there. Animal skin tents were tied up in the open space, and turbid water was taken from the Tianhe River to clarify, and there was barely enough water to drink.
An orc held clean water and presented it to a tall and thin orc. The orc had long cyan hair and took a sip of the water. The orc who delivered the water said hesitantly, "Priest Zuo, it's been a long time drought around here. , the prey is reduced, and there is very little clean water, I am afraid that we will run out of water to drink."
Zuo Priest said: "That's why we have to take advantage of this time to attack the Tianhe tribe."
Orc: "???"
Priest Zuo glanced at him and said, "We already felt it was difficult to endure since we arrived here, but the Tianhe tribe has been enduring here for so long, they must be weak and exhausted because of the lack of water and food at this moment, and attacking them at this time is a good thing for us. The best time!"
He looked at the sunset on the horizon and smiled slightly: "We are representing the temple, see? Even the gods are on our side!"
That night, the news snowballed to every temple in the temple. In the ears of the orc warriors, everyone was in awe of the gods. At this time, they were all excited when they heard that this great drought was a symbol of the gods on their side!
The orc beside the left priest said loudly: "Fighters, the gods are watching us, he supported our battle, and brought down a great drought for our battle. This must be the reason why the high priest prayed to the gods! We represent the gods. , The warriors representing the temple, let us take down the dying Tianhe tribe in one breath! Bring back our right priest and severely punish those orcs and sub-beasts who disrespect the gods and high priests!"
"Punish them! Punish them— —!” The
blood of the 20,000 orcs was boiling. Along the way, they saw too many beasts that were dying due to lack of water. They even saw the thin, weak and pale appearance of the orcs in the Tianhe tribe. Everyone realized one thing. - This will be the easiest battle they've ever fought!
