Male orcs, except Xiahe. Everyone brought a big bag of big steamed buns, five or six big cloth bags, two thick bamboo tubes filled with water, and they all carried big knives, and set off in a mighty manner.

As Meng said, they stopped for a rest in the evening and had to walk a whole day the next day. In the evening of the next day, they arrived at the planting field where the cotton was grown. Before he had time to appreciate the cotton tree he saw for the first time, Xia He hurriedly began to help prepare dinner, because they had to light the fire, and they just cooked the dinner on the border of the cotton tree.

At night, several orcs took turns to watch, of course Chi didn't take turns. Xiahe fell asleep almost immediately after eating dinner. There was no river nearby, so there was no need to take a bath, so he had to go out to wash during the day. Xu was on the road for a day, and Xiahe was too sleepy every night, thinking about when his physique became so bad, as usual, walking for a day, after a break, he can be alive and kicking again. Thinking about it, I leaned on Chi's side and fell asleep.

After Chi heard Xia He's breath after falling asleep, he touched Xia He's face with pity and pity, and then to his slightly swollen belly... Chi closed his painful and helpless eyes, and took a deep breath. , And swallowed it for a long time, and finally hugged Xia He and fell asleep.

The next day, Xia He woke up amidst the sounds of birds and insects, and found that under his body was the big cloth bag they brought, and Chi was no longer there. Reflexively, because the sky was bright when I opened my eyes just after waking up, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the sun hanging in the sky. It was about nine o'clock in the morning. Recently, the unhungry stomach has also sounded in protest. Looking at the cotton tree sideways, it is indeed not short, but it is not very high, at most two meters high, and some are only one meter high. Cotton trees more than one meter high are like the one introduced in the book, right? They don’t have any leaves, and the sparse ones are all like dry branches. The cotton grows in the bolls on the branches, and the white and fat cotton explodes. Outside the cotton boll, it looks so cute!

Standing up and looking into the distance, he looked endless, except for the withered yellow branches underneath, and the upper layer was a white piece. It seemed that there was enough cotton for the winter. At this time Chi came over, put down the cotton he picked in the morning, and then took out half of a bun and a piece of barbecue in a cloth bag with a big bun on the ground and gave it to Xiahe.

"Um, Chi, were you just picking cotton?" Xia He is really hard to imagine these two-meter-high orcs standing next to the cotton tree picking flowers one by one. "Puff~haha" Xia He couldn't bear it. No more laughs. Who told him to have a group of women picking in his book.

Chi helplessly smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Xia He's back, "It is not good for your body to laugh like this while eating. Come on, drink water."

Xia He finally stopped laughing, took the bamboo tube and took a sip of water, gnawed away the remaining big buns in twos or twos, and drank again. "You're full, put away this barbecue, I won't eat it anymore."

"He, how can you be full after only a few bites of barbecue, behave, eat it quickly, or eat half of it." Chi coaxed him.

"Damn, don't treat me like a kid. I really can't eat it anymore. Now I don't think it is greasy anymore. If you want to force me to eat it, I'm going to vomit." Xia He really doesn't want to eat it. Meat is different from the usual thoughts of not wanting to eat meat. It is usually because you eat it every day. If you eat too much, you will definitely get greasy. But now, you feel uncomfortable when you smell oil. "Don't worry, Chi, I won't let myself be hungry, this kind of loss is not something that Xia He can do."

Chi sighed again, "Well, then remember to eat when you are hungry." He said and put away the barbecue.

"I know, Chi you are like an old mother. Hurry up and take me to Meng and the others to pick cotton." Xia He also picked up a cloth bag and walked with Chi. He knew that Meng and the others were afraid to disturb the sleeping self, so Go further and pick it up.

Sure enough, thirty or so sturdy men walked through the cotton sea, holding them with both hands, and even the cotton bolls and some sticks were picked up in their hands, and then they were put directly into the cloth bag without picking them up. Xia He's face was full of black lines. Is the cotton picked like this? Although he hasn't picked it before, but when he thinks about making cotton into clothes in the end, he still has to pick out the extra things except cotton. This kind of rework is very boring, you know, it's not a point or two. A lot of cotton, but a lot of cotton that the entire tribe needs. If you can do a little better now, you won’t have to do anything extra when you go back, right?

Xia He first walked out of the approaching tree and stretched out his hand to pull the cotton. Sure enough, the cotton and the cotton boll separated. Looking at the white cotton without bolls, you can see that there is actually some yellow silk in the cotton. This is not important, the important thing is that after picking it back, you don't have to pick out the extra objects in such a trivial way, although the action will become much slower.

Tell them what you are doing and ask them to pick it like this with yourself, otherwise the trouble will still be the females of the clan when you go back. Orcs think about it, if the females are not free, they have to do it. It would be a headache for them to pick out these fine golden bells one by one. After that, the action of the orcs in picking cotton can be said to be more gentle, no longer as before, with no worries, hands rudely smashed, and more branches and cotton bolls in their hands.

They can't pick all such a large piece of cotton, and they don't need so much, but they have to pick up enough before they don't know when it will rain. Therefore, in addition to eating, drinking, and pulling, they pick cotton the rest of the time. Originally Xia He thought picking cotton was like playing with it, but now it seems...playing a fart! Xia He put the cotton in his almost stiff hand behind the cloth bag, then flicked his arm angrily, then crossed his fingers and turned his palms together. This simple value is a job dedicated to tossing people. Xiahe would rather go to smelt ore and make iron tools than stand here and pick it one by one. It doesn’t matter if your hands are stiff, the important thing is that your eyes are going to be blind. Be sure not to pick cotton bolls if you want to see cotton.

Those orcs were more durable than Xiahe, but they were still the same after a few days. They never thought that their hands and shoulders could be so tired by standing on the ground and doing their hands. After a long time, I can't bear it. Every day two orcs go hunting. Now it has become the best job. Before they go hunting, they have to compete, and the two who win can go. Xia He felt the same way about this. He wanted to find a chance to get out of this cotton farm. Aow, Xia He screamed in his heart, bear with it, bear with it, it’s fine if you get used to it, maybe you will come every year Picking it up, you have to get used to it now. Raising his numb hand and continuing to pick it, he didn't expect to be held by Chi.

"He, sit down first, I'll rub it for you." Chi pulled Xia He down on a cloth bag filled with cotton on the ground, and rubbed it lightly.

"Your hands are also very tired. Don't rub them for me, I'll do them myself."

"Don't move!" Chi whispered as if suppressing some emotion.

Sure enough, Xia He didn't dare to move obediently. It was the most terrible depressing thing. If he was not careful, he would become a cannon fodder. "What's wrong, Chi?"

After a long while, Chi did not make a sound, but hugged Xia He quickly. When Xia He heard Chi's very strong depression but nowhere to vent his emotions, his heart and the nasal breath exhaled greatly. "If Chi wants to cry, just cry, there are no other orcs here, and I won't laugh at you. If your hands are tired, I will help you rub them!"

"...No, not at all. Every time I see He is so hard, I always blame myself... He, you know, at this moment, I really hope that I am like a fierce and have enough ability to feed my female. Let you be like Ye, as long as you stay at home, you don't have to do any hard work. I..."

"Huh!" Xia He quickly covered Chi with his palm and gave up on himself. "Hehe, if you are like fierce, I won't like you. Chi, I have told you that whether it is family or love, two people need to pay together. If only you pay and I don’t do anything, I I will definitely not be with you. So, understand, fortunately Chi is Chi, not other people, otherwise we will say goodbye."

"Puff~" Chi let go and smiled, kissed Xia He on the cheek, and said, "The way He comforts people is really special, but I am cured haha. He is sitting here, the sun is going down, here is me Pick it up."

Xia He also nodded. Who said that men don't need comfort? Men need more comfort than women, because men bear far more responsibilities than women, so you have to comfort and encourage him even more! The heart of a woman is made of meat, and the heart of a man is also made of meat! Women can pity and grieve, but men can't abandon themselves?

It has been eleven days, and the large cloth bags they each brought are already full. Four orcs have come back several times with the cotton they picked. It is estimated that another six or seven days of picking cotton will be enough for the entire tribe. Sometimes habit is a terrible thing. The first few days are life and death. Compared with the present, the only thing I am used to is that the hands and shoulders can be stretched and contracted normally. It is no longer as tired and numb as the first time, and the eyes are also affected. Practicing is extremely sharp and perfect at one glance! After adapting to the habit, the speed is naturally faster than before.

This day was a rest day for everyone to pass. The autumn breeze was cool, and the blue sky looked quieter than before. Xiahe and Chi also took advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone. Therefore, the two of them left the place where the orcs were nearby. At the tryst. Why did the orcs have great ears? Besides, they didn't go far, Xia He thought by luck.
