Chapter 217 Chapter 217

The dust from the continuous eruption of the volcano covered the sky, and the sky gradually faded after half a month, but the sun was still invisible during the day, and the moon was still invisible at night.

The sky is gray, the air is smoggy, and there are occasional vibrations. Every time the fifty elders who live around the misty forest come to Changfeng's house to discuss matters, Changfeng will let them try to calm the uneasy emotions of the orcs.

This frightening day lasted until a month and a half later, when it rained heavily for three or four consecutive days.

After the rain stopped, the sun finally showed its face in the sky. Xiaotang took off the mask her mother was wearing and took a deep breath. It seemed that there was no such heavy dust in the air.

When the orcs saw the sun come out, they were finally no longer so restless and frightened, and the uneasiness in their hearts gradually subsided.

Xiaoxi walked out of the cave and saw the mud spots brought by the rain on the rocks. Zou frowned. How many volcanoes had to erupt to spew out so much volcanic ash.

Changfeng came over, stopped Xiaoxi's shoulder, and patted Xiaoxi comfortingly.

Just when the orcs thought that this incident was over, they didn't expect that the second volcanic eruption started again after just seven or eight days of recovery.

The sky was once again clouded by dust, and at the worst, the air even looked like a layer of smog.

Xiao Candy put it on again, and the mask that Xiaoxi forced her to wear, even the three males in the family were not spared.

In this way, the longest time was one or two months, and the shortest time was three to five days. The indirect volcanic eruption on the holy mountain made the Orc Continent shrouded in volcanic ash for half a year.

During this period, Xiaoxi and the others took in many defected orcs. They all lived nearer to the holy mountain. Fortunately, they felt that something was wrong, so they hurriedly left the place of residence.

Otherwise, after such a long volcanic eruption, they would not be burned to death by magma, and would also be choked to death by dense volcanic ash.

Even in such a harsh environment, Xiaoxi still asked Chang Feng to attract the orc representative Fifty Chief, so that they would not panic anymore.

Hurry up to resume production, the kind of corn, hurry up and plant it in the ground, don't miss the season.The sweet rice fruit trees planted by each family should be taken care of.

In addition, this year is the harvest season, everyone should try to run as far as possible to collect more food, tell them that there will be a shortage of food in the next few years, and let them pay attention to it.

As Xiaoxi expected, because of the eruption of the volcano this year, the orcs in the entire Orc Continent were affected by this natural disaster.

The first thing to be affected is the grain grown this year. For example, the sweet rice fruit in the back mountain of Xiaoxijia has produced less fruit, and the fruit is smaller than in previous years.

Fortunately, after so many years of pruning and raising seedlings in the creek, their family has planted sweet rice fruit trees on the two hills of the back mountain. Even with such a low yield, it should be no problem to harvest [-] to [-] catties.

Compared with previous years when the two hills could harvest about [-] catties of sweet rice, this year they suffered heavy losses.

Like the corn they planted this year, under normal circumstances, each corn is as full as the head of a thumb. The corn grown on the cob this year is as small as a modern corn kernel.

In previous years, [-] to [-] catties of corn kernels could be harvested from the corn that was planted all over the mountains and plains in previous years. It would be considered lucky to receive [-] catties this year.

Regardless of the fact that their family harvests so much food every year, if there is less meat in the snow season, the only female in the family is Xiaoxi, who has a small appetite.

The other four are now food grinders. They eat meat only twice a day, but if they want to eat food, they must eat at least four or five meals a day, and they will eat a lot of each meal so that they will not be so hungry. .

However, the weather has been good in the past few years, and their family has not lost any food, not to mention their family, even the orc families living around the misty forest, each family has not lost any food.

The orc family living here, the family with the least food storage, should have no problem eating for two years.

For example, the food stored in Xiaoxi's own home is enough to feed for four to five years.

Fortunately, the place where they live is an endless foggy forest. I heard all the wandering orcs here say that the foggy forest is the largest forest they have ever seen in this, orc continent.

There are many animals bred in it, enough for the few orcs left on this continent to eat them all.

Xiaoxi is also very lucky that their family lives here, or else the four gluttonous beasts in the family would not be hungry all year round, not to mention that your family has so much food, it is not enough to eat.

They are all carnivorous, and if they are allowed to eat vegetarian food for a long time, it will kill them.

Every time their family cooks steamed rice, they put bacon in it, let alone the three males in the family, even the little ancestor in the family, even small candies are not waiting for you to eat.

This day, Xiaohua came to Xiaoxi with Xiao Nanshan and Xiaoya, who were more than one year old, on her back, and went to the nearby mountain to dig bamboo shoots.

The males in the family not only have to collect the food grown by their own family these days, but those who grow less food have to go to distant places, unoccupied mountains, to find food and store it back.

Because they believed what the lord lord and the clever witch doctor Xiaoxi said, they were afraid that there would be a famine in the next few years, and there would be no food at that time, and the whole family would starve.

Xiaoxi took a ripe wild fruit from home and handed it to Xiao Nanshan on Xiaohua's back. He carried a big basket on his back, and the three of them talked and walked towards the bamboo forest on the nearby mountain.

Xiaohua sighed and said, "When will the days when you can't see the sky every now and then, end?"

Speaking of this issue, everyone felt very heavy, Xiaoxi patted Xiaohua on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't worry, it will pass."

Xiaoya also nodded and said: "That's right, don't talk about these annoying things, I want to discuss something with you, you two can give me an idea."

When the three arrived, they had no choice but to dig bamboo shoots with stone hoes because there was no male to help them.

While digging bamboo shoots, Xiaoya expressed her thoughts, "Xiaoxi, Qingcang and Fengyuan of your family are already official followers of Xiaotang."

What Xiaoya said made Xiaoxi's heart skip a beat, she pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing Xiaoxi's nervous expression, Xiaoya burst out laughing, "Don't be nervous, our family won't compete with your little Candy for males."

I just want to say that my little Nuannuan is only half a year younger than your little candy, and your little candy has already been settled.

I just want to!

In the past, because the orcs lived far away from each other, males and females rarely had contact with each other before they reached adulthood, and if they wanted to get married, they could only go to the big market to see each other when they were adults.

It's different now. A few days ago I saw Xiao Rong from the Shang family, so I took the two Jing family brothers who lived not far from us home.

Looking at it like this, Xiao Rong from the Shang family is afraid that when she becomes an adult next year, she will marry the two brothers Jing and Bai.

Xiaoxi knew what Xiaoya said. After all, Xiaotang and Xiaorong got along well since childhood, so Xiaorong would definitely tell Xiaotang about such things.

Xiaoya said disappointedly: "At first, I also had a crush on it, brothers of the Jing family, but I didn't expect to be robbed and boarded first after hesitating for a moment."

Xiaoxi looked at Xiaoya in surprise, she thought Xiaoya was attracted to Qing Cang and Feng Yuan.

Later, she heard from Xiaoya that she guessed that Qing Cang and Feng Yuan should be settled by Xiao Candy.

Unexpectedly, he fell in love with the Jing family brothers who were more flexible, but now the Jing family brothers themselves have been ordered by the Shang family Xiao Rong.

That's how she responds.

Xiaoya went on to say: "But now Nuan Nuan is still young, please help me to pay attention to see if there is any suitable one, give it to our family Nuan Nuan."

Xiaoxi and Xiaohua helplessly looked at Xiaoya, who loves her dearly, and finally nodded in agreement.

No matter how many years have passed, Xiaoya and Xiaoxi will be the same. Such a cub, the whole family regards Nuan Nuan as their lifeblood.
