Lin Xi's illness is menacing.In addition, she rushed together with her aunt, and it took her more than half a month to be completely cured!
By the time she recovered, the collective gathering in the tribe had already ended!
However, unlike in the past, after each collective gathering in the past, most of the herbivorous orcs would go directly to the winter rest period and would not go out again.But this winter, because of the presence of bows and arrows, after gathering their main plant food, they began to try to continue to go out and hunt.For safety, the herbivorous orcs still hunted in a group hunting mode, but this time White Fury did not follow again.The orcs are already very proficient in using their bows and arrows, and the hunting place is within the territory of the tribe, so there is no need to worry too much.And the carnivorous orcs in the tribe, because they guarded the tribe before, delayed a lot of time, so the hunt continued.It's just that as the weather gets colder and colder, the days of being able to go out are coming to an end.On this day, Lin Xi finally felt a little lighter all over his body.She wrapped herself tightly, pushed the door open, and stepped outside.The outside world was bleak, and beneath our feet was the gray-black earth that had withered and sundried, spreading all the way to the edge of the forest.The sky overhead has been gray since the first snowfall, and the gloomy sky makes people feel very depressed, intersecting with the woods in the distance where all the leaves have fallen and only a silvery gray branch remains, giving people the feeling that the world is desolate!
Lin Xi stood at the entrance of the cave and exhaled, white mist blowing out of his mouth and spreading out in the cold air.Because of Lin Xi's illness, Wuchen has stayed at home for almost a third of the time recently and has not gone out, and it was not until Lin Xi's condition improved in the past two days that he began to continue hunting.Fortunately, some time ago, Bai Nu sent more than a dozen giant beasts, and during this time, the fishing cages and clam cages they put down in the Mogan River could harvest every day, so they didn't have to worry about running out of food.Lin Xi breathed in the fresh air outside the cave for a while, and after a while, the tip of his nose was cold by the wind.She lifted her feet and walked slowly down the hill, walking in the direction of Wuzhu.She wanted to go to Wu and ask for something, but she didn't know if she could get it!
At this time, the tribe was very quiet, and two-thirds of the orcs had gone out, and only a few stayed at home to look after the family.Lin Xi walked all the way to the outside of Wu's residence and knocked on the door panel that looked like it was freshly made.The door panel was quickly opened, looking at the orc who opened the door in front of her, Lin Xi was stunned, and before she could speak, the orc on the opposite side had already greeted her first: "Lin Xi is wise." ”Lin Xi reacted and nodded: "Ah, Qinglin." ”Green Scales, a slender snake male with long dark green hair.It's the witch's companion."
Qing Scale, is Wu at home?""
At home, Lin Xi Wise, please come in!"
Green Scales made way for Lin Xi.Wu's residence is also a cave, and as soon as you enter, a warm feeling comes over your face, which instantly dispels the cold brought from the outside.Seeing Lin Xi, Wu was very surprised: "Wise man Lin Xi, come and sit." ”She beckoned Lin Xi, sat down on a small wooden pier in front of the fireplace, and then asked with some concern, "Wise Lin Xi, are you no longer feverish?"
”"Well," Lin Xi nodded: "It's all right, there's no problem." ”Lin Xi was sick for more than half a month and didn't tell the other orcs.But he didn't go out to participate in the collection for so long, and he was still noticed by the careful Wu and Bai Fu.Then one of the two asked Wuchen, and the other went to Linxi and Wuchen's cave to see it for himself, only to find that their wise man was so sick!
But fortunately, nothing is a big deal now.After Lin Xi answered Wu's question, he quickly cut the conversation into the purpose of his visit this time: "Wu, I came here to ask you something. ”"Oh?
What is it?
”Wu looked at Lin Xi suspiciously, and Qing Liang also sat down next to him, with a curious expression."
It's the thing you poured into the fire during the marriage ceremony to make the fire burn more vigorously."
Lin Xi looked at Wu suspiciously and asked, "What is that?"
”"That?"
Wu suddenly, she smiled: "That's black oil water, poured on the fire, it can make the fire burn more vigorously, and even don't use the fire, just use the flint to rub the fire on it, and it can burn by itself!"
”"Black oil water?"
Lin Xi repeated in a low voice, isn't this similar to oil?
In fact, when she saw the bowl of black water before, she had a guess, and now Wu's answer has verified it for her."
Can I take a look?"
Lin Xi asked, of course Wu had no opinion: "Of course." ”Then she looked at Qing Scale, who was sitting on the side: "Qing Scale, help me get a bowl of black oil and water for Lin Xi Wise Man." ”Green Scale immediately got up.After a while, he walked over with a small fruit shell bowl, and Lin Xi took it carefully and looked down.Immediately, it turned out that this can indeed be called black oily water, very black, oily, but also very watery.However, it is still very different from the texture of oil.In fact, Lin Xi came to Wu to ask for this thing because she wanted to see if she could use this black oil and water to make an oil lamp.Although now she has dug windows in the cave and there is fireplace lighting in the cave, she still feels that the light in the cave is dim.Especially now in the winter, the window can't always be open, just rely on the fire in the fireplace, it's fine every day, but if she wants to sew a dress and weave a fishing net, it's not enough!
Of course, Lin Xi also thought about using animal fat to make lamp oil, but she thought that if this black oil and water were okay, it would be better to save animal fat to make food.It's just that Lin Xi is a little worried, will this thing have any special significance?
Because until now, she had only seen witches use this thing in the marriage ceremony and her wise man inauguration ceremony.She hadn't even heard of them with the other orcs!
So Lin Xi looked at Wu expectantly: "Wu, where did this thing come from?"
Why is there only witches here, and there are so few of them?
”However, Wu's answer was beyond Lin Xi's expectations: "No, there is a lot of black oil and water!"
”She looked at the black oil water in Lin Xi's hand: "The place where the black oil water was found was in the big cave in the middle of the tribe, and it was also because of this black oil water that our tribe was called the Mountain Fire Tribe." ”"When the black oil water was first discovered, the orcs used it to help light the fire, and at that time, we orcs would only drill wood to make fire, and pour the fire with black oil and water, which could burn up quickly, and was not afraid of accidentally extinguishing it.""
It wasn't until later that a witch discovered the flint, and the black oil and water were no longer needed, but it was still a good thing for our tribe."
After listening to this, Lin Xi suddenly realized, and at the same time put his mind at ease.If you can use it, then she can make an oil lamp!
