HCB Chapter 10 Recovery 1
Chapter 10 Recovery 1
"The beach is four days and four nights away from where we live. It's full of seafood. I'll go there again after the snow season is over. You can come with me then. I'll grab a few pots for you and make sure you're satisfied!"
Li Mingsheng responded with a smile. Seeing that the other party liked to eat it, he peeled all the remaining skins and put them into the other party's bowl. He had already eaten a lot in the past few days, so he was not that greedy for these.
Besides, the baa beast tastes very good, and the meat is as good as the mutton in the previous life. Add these mushrooms, and it is a delicious and satisfying meal.
After the two of them finished their breakfast, Li Mingsheng cleaned up the kitchen and helped Yanli to lie on the bed. After all, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although orcs have strong recovery ability, they still need to be nursed back to health.
After Li Mingsheng helped the man to the bed, he went to the cave entrance and opened a crack. It was white outside. The snow was thick and had covered the open space in front of the cave. The wind and snow were very strong. It was quiet outside without any sound.
Even the birdsong in the woods was gone.
Li Mingsheng looked at the sky outside and it looked like the snow would continue to fall for a few more days.
Unable to get out, he returned to the cave, looked at Yanli lying on the bed, and thought that there were still many things missing in his cave, so he started to get busy.
First he made a cupboard in the kitchen, but now all the pots and pans were scattered on the floor, not in order at all. Because of the snowstorm, he had no chance to go out hunting, so he took the wood and went back to his sleeping cave to start hammering.
Because it was cold, he started a fire where he slept to drive away the cold air in the cave, so that both those who were sleeping and those who were working could keep warm.
Yanli was covered with the fur of the three bleating beasts. There was a brazier under the bed. It was warm and comfortable. This snow season was the most comfortable one he had ever experienced since he was born. He had a very delicious meal this morning, including lobster, and had such a warm bed.
Looking at the orc busy under the bed, Yanli really wanted to follow him forever. Both of them were slaves and could live together in the wild. When he got better, he would work hard to improve his strength and hunt many exotic beasts. As long as the other party did not drive him away, he would follow him.
Li Mingsheng picked up the wood, then turned his hands into dragon claws and started to dig. As expected of a three-star orc warrior, his claws were very sharp. Under his claws, ordinary wood was like tofu.
"Do you need my help?" Yanli lay on the bed watching the other person planing wood. Thinking about his own beast form, his claws were also very sharp, and it would be much faster with his help.
"No need, just lie down and recuperate. I'm also doing this to kill time. What else can I do after you've finished?" Li Mingsheng interrupted Yanli as he was about to sit up. Seeing that the other party was indeed someone who could not sit still, he put the thatch in his hand and asked him to help rub it into strips.
This job is not tiring. This thatch is used to make thatch shoes. My pair is already rotten, and I have time during the snow season to slowly polish it, making it more refined and able to wear it longer.
I'll make a few pairs for the person on the bed then, Li Mingsheng thought secretly as he looked at the other person's bare feet.
Yanli looked at the pile of straw in his hand, then at the straw under the animal skin, wondering what the straw rolled into strips was used for.
Although he was not sure, Yanli still followed Li Mingsheng's instructions seriously, patiently tidied up the thatch, and began to rub it, while watching Li Mingsheng's movements from time to time.
When he was almost done rubbing, Li Mingsheng's side was also ready. He didn't know how he managed it, but he combined a few sticks and boards into a small cabinet. Li Mingsheng told him that this was called a cabinet and it could be used to store pots, bowls, chopsticks, salt and other things.
Li Mingsheng looked at the cabinet on the ground and was very satisfied. He didn't know that his hands were so skillful. He only knew some simple Luban lock and mortise and tenon joint techniques, but he didn't expect to succeed at the first try. Strike while the iron is hot, he made two more and placed them at the head of the bed to store things.
After all, I plan to live here for several years, so I still have to prepare the basics.
His current bed was a protruding stone in the cave. After Li Mingsheng moved in, he used his claws to straighten it out and made it into a platform. He then scraped the back to leave a path for easy movement so that the cabinet could be put down just right.
Yanli looked at the two cabinets at the head of the bed, feeling very curious. He touched them and tried to open them. They were very smooth and he couldn't let them go.
"If you like, I'll teach you how to do it after you've recovered. It's very simple!" Seeing that the other party liked it, Li Mingsheng promised to teach him after he had recovered.
With the remaining wood, Li Mingsheng made some simple clothes hangers to hang his only green python leather jackets and leather pants. Together with the baa beast leather suit he was wearing and the ones hanging on the wall, he made two sets in total.
I was relatively lucky. Yanli didn't even have a piece of animal skin. This morning when I was having breakfast, I picked up a piece of animal skin and wrapped it around my lower body, leaving it unprotected.
Li Mingsheng looked at the remaining pieces of animal skin and made up his mind to buy Yanli some clothes. After all, clothes that did not cover the body did not look good. Although he and Yanli were of the same gender and both were real men, it was nothing, but for Li Mingsheng, who had received more than 20 years of modern education, it was still not elegant enough.
"It's done!" Yanli interrupted Li Mingsheng's thoughts by holding up the thatched strips in his hand.
"Okay, I'll get you a fur coat. You can go to sleep after I measure you!" As he said that, Li Mingsheng took the fur and compared it with him.
These animal skins were originally intended to make another set for himself. The amount of skins was more than enough for Yanli. Yanli was half a head shorter than Li Mingsheng.
"Made for me?" Yanli was a little bit unbelieving. The other party was willing to heal his wounds and give him a place to live. He also had hot exotic beast meat to eat this morning. He was already very grateful in his heart. Now he was going to make him animal skin clothes. He didn't know how to repay the other party in the future.
After all, in Wanyuan Continent, this was the first person who had good intentions towards him. Even with the other stray orcs he had met in the wild before, the two sides would fight as soon as they met, and neither would give in, let alone friendly communication. The law of survival on this continent is the law of the jungle. If you don't fight today, the wild beasts may share your corpse tomorrow.
Yanli could only swear secretly that he would repay the other person in the future, even if it meant giving up everything, including his life!
"Yes, go to sleep if you are sleepy. There is no rush to work. When you are well, there will be plenty of work to do!" Li Mingsheng advised the other party when he saw that he was obviously very sleepy and his eyelids were about to droop, but he was still staying up.
After all, he is still injured and his energy is limited. He needs to take good care of himself first and worry about other things after he recovers.
"Okay, I'll rest first, call me if you need anything!" Yanli felt that what the other party said made sense. Healing his wounds first would help Brother Li more. Otherwise, he would not be able to help him and would be a burden instead.
