Obligatory Love (Orc)
Chapter 1 "Lie Well"
Cheng Yuan sat blankly on the stone bed, his fingers unconsciously stroking the animal skin underneath him that was a bit rough for him. It had been three days since he came to this primitive world, but he always felt like he was dreaming.
"You're awake".
When everyone came to the bedside, Cheng Yuan calmed down and showed a gentle smile to the man. "Well, you're back."
"Yeah."
He was speechless again. Thorkel didn't like to talk at all, but Cheng Yuan didn't say anything, because the relationship between the two was really awkward for him.
He came to this strange world three days ago. Because he was injured, he was discovered by the tribesmen here and brought back for treatment. But staying in the clan has become a problem again.
The females here, that is, people with appearances like Cheng Yuan, are much more fragile than the orcs, and it is almost impossible to survive alone. If they only rely on the tribe's supplies, they will become a burden on the tribe. Although Cheng Yuan knew in his heart that he was not what they called a female, he also knew that living here alone would definitely lead to his own death. Originally, someone in the tribe wanted to take Cheng Yuan home, but they were all orcs who had grown up for a long time but were still unmarried. These orcs were either of bad conduct, too old or disabled. The kind-hearted Rude family, that is, the former The family who saved Cheng Yuan refused to agree even if they lived or died. During the stalemate, Thorkel, who had returned from hunting, made a sound.
"I want him."
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Thorkel, some were surprised, some were hating, and some were regretful.
Cheng Yuan was also curious. He is a person of unknown origin, even if he is a rare "female", he is much older than the females of marriageable age. This orc looks like he has sound limbs, and he doesn't look like a scoundrel. Why? . .
Before he could finish his doubts, Sass, Rude's partner, hurriedly asked, "Thorkel, are you saying that you want to marry this child and become a partner?"
"Yes."
Everyone suddenly said Uproar. The patriarch quickly maintained order, "Okay, okay, since Thorkel is willing to talk to, uh, what's your name, kid?"
"Cheng Yuan"
"Ah, Cheng Yuan, then, Cheng Yuan, are you willing?"
Cheng Yuan didn't care. . There is too much helplessness in this kind of indifference. It is said that I am asking for my own opinion, but I am helpless and have no say in this world. He could only turn his questioning eyes to Sasi. This kind and gentle female would always think of him.
After obtaining Cheng Yuan's consent, Sas smiled and agreed repeatedly.
"I will bring gifts tomorrow." Thorkel left these words before carrying the prey and walking away. This made Cheng Yuan find this person even more strange, but everyone lamented the good luck of the Rude family. In fact, such an orphaned female is lucky enough to have someone willing to partner with her, but she didn't expect that she would receive gifts. But no one would be jealous because of this gift. After all, the Rude family is famous for their kindness in the tribe.
When I went home that night, Sas and Cheng Yuan chatted for a long time. Apart from the reluctance to say goodbye, most of them said good things to Thorkel.
"This child Thorkel is not a bad person. He is a well-known good hunter in our tribe. But, alas," Sass shook his head, "this child is too quiet and cold to others. He has had many enemies with him before. The females he liked were scared away, so he never got married
. Cheng Yuan looked at Thorkel who was busy at the entrance of the cave and felt that he should still keep this evaluation. This guy barely talks at all. Since I was picked up by him in the morning, I have only heard him say three sentences. "Rest here," "I'm out," and "I'm back." Ah, one more thing, "Yeah."
"Inside." Cheng Yuan turned over and got off the ground. As soon as he uttered a voice, Thorkel outside the cave immediately turned to look at him. His movements were so fast that Cheng Yuan was startled. "Let me help you." He was alone. A man in his late thirties cannot really just wait for something to come to his mouth like a "female".
"Lie down."
"Huh? No, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Thorkel had already taken a few steps over, picked him up and placed him on the stone bed.
"You are injured, lie down," Thorkel said.
Cheng Yuan recovered from the sudden hug from the princess and couldn't laugh or cry. This was the first time that a man like him was hugged by a princess.
"It's really not necessary. Look, my injuries are minor. They have almost healed after just two days of recovery." After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and showed them to Thorkel. There were tiny scratches on the pale skin. The wounds were not deep, but there were many, and they had already formed scabs.
Thorkel glanced. This kind of injury is nothing at all on an orc, but it is a female. . . Based on his knowledge of females, he couldn't tell whether there was a relationship.
"I'll ask the wizard." The wizard is the equivalent of a doctor in the tribe.
"Don't bother," Cheng Yuan grabbed Thorkel who was about to leave, got off the bed and jumped twice on the ground. "Look, there's nothing wrong at all."
Thorkel lowered his head and looked at Cheng Yuan carefully twice. Cheng Yuan was so frightened that he frowned and reluctantly agreed. "Well, come with me."
The prey was dragged by Thorkel to an open space not far from the entrance of the cave. This is the territory of the tribe and will not be invaded by wild beasts. Cheng Yuan stepped forward and took a closer look, and found that the thing was not too big, about the size of a domestic cat. It had a pair of long ears, but had a face that looked a bit like a horse, with a protruding mouth that looked like it was pouting. . There was something like a wild boar next to it. It was quite big, but it looked rough and thick-skinned, not as soft as modern pigs.
"What is this thing? It looks like a rabbit." Cheng Yuan squatted and stared for a long time, then turned to ask Thorkel.
"Dubby. It's for you." Thorkel glanced at him, as if wondering why he didn't recognize him, but still answered him.
"Thank you." Cheng Yuan looked into Sokel's eyes and thanked him with a smile.
Thorkel was startled, and looked at Cheng Yuan with even more confusion. After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "You are my female, and I will take good care of you."
It shouldn't be the most normal thing for an orc to feed his own female. What's the matter? Why do you want to say thank you? Or is it that he doesn't want to pair up with him at all? But if he didn't want to, why should he agree?
Thorkel's eyes were pure, but his words made Cheng Yuan embarrassed for a moment. He is gay and can accept men, but he cannot accept a strange man casually. Agreeing at that time was just a helpless move. I just thought that as time goes by, we will get to know each other. If we are lucky, the two of them will have similar personalities and they will work together. If they are not lucky, they will just be friends. Unexpectedly, Thorkel directly strengthened the relationship between the two. The tribe is strictly monogamous, and the orcs are loyal. They rarely change people midway. Most of the time, even if their female dies, they will not renew their relationship. When Thorkel did this, it was equivalent to deciding his own life.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Cheng Yuan realized that Thorkel had nothing wrong with him. The gift has been given to the Sasse family. In ancient China, he was considered married. You don't want anyone to give you gifts, and there's no reason for Thorkel to be taken advantage of.
In the final analysis, I am still accustomed to my thinking and thinking. I feel that if we don't love each other, we can't be together. But it doesn't matter now. Of course, I have no feelings for Thorkel, and Thorkel certainly has no love for a stranger like me. So, there is nothing wrong with just being a "female" to help him in his life. Thorkel is one of the best hunters in the tribe. I can learn a lot from him, so that even if I are separated in the future, I will not starve to death.
After thinking about it in such a mess for a while, Thorkel had already processed the prey and cooked the doubi beast in a stone pot that was not very polished but looked brand new.
"What can I do for you?" He said he wanted to help, but ended up in a daze for a while, which made Cheng Yuan feel a little sorry.
"You..." Thorkel hesitated for a moment, pointing to a pile of unknown giant green vegetables placed aside, "Wash them." After thinking about it, he asked Cheng Yuan seriously, "Will you?"
"Yes." Cheng Yuan agreed with a helpless smile, his dark eyes shining softly in the sunshine.
Cheng Yuan rubbed the vegetable leaves and felt that they looked like an enlarged version of spinach. During the two days I stayed at Sass's house, there were very few vegetables, mostly meat, which was too greasy. Today I finally got some vitamins.
When I was thinking like this, I accidentally felt a stinging pain in my fingers. I pulled my hand away suddenly, only to find that my fingers were pricked by something and blood was oozing out little by little.
"Hiss." Cheng Yuan took a closer look and discovered that there were barbs on the back of the vegetable leaf, just below the stem. They were not particularly hard, but sharp, and could pierce quite deeply.
Thorkel heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing that Cheng Yuan's finger was bleeding, he put the finger in his mouth without saying a word, and said vaguely, "Didn't you say you would?"
"Hey... I, I don't know what's going on. It has thorns." Cheng Yuan has never seen spinach with thorns.
The young man's tongue was rough, and there was a slight itching when the tip of his tongue was brushed against his fingertips. It made people feel itchy every time.
"I, I'll do it myself." Cheng Yuan blushed a little and was about to take back his hand.
Thorkel held the man's hand, frowned slightly, and his voice suddenly became a little deeper, "Be obedient."
"I..." Cheng Yuan wanted to say something else, but closed his mouth and lowered his head, revealing a fair and red neck.
Thorkel looked down at him and felt that this female was really difficult to raise. She couldn't even wash vegetables well. The body doesn't look that tender, and the hands can be pricked by small thorns. But the way he lowered his head was gentle and gentle. He must be quite old. I heard that he is in his mid-twenties. Females in the tribe get married when they are fifteen or sixteen. I don't know why he waited for so long. Maybe his family was very good before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to raise such a female who can't do anything.
Seeing that Cheng Yuan didn't speak, Thorkel thought he had scared him, so he reached out and rubbed his head, "Be good, I'll do it from now on."
Females, shouldn't they be kept at home?
Cheng Yuan felt his head sink, and a big hand pressed down on him. Thorkel was much taller than him, and he had to raise his head to see him. "It's okay with me, I won't do it next time." The voice was still gentle.
So after all, Thorkel prepared this meal. Cheng Yuan just waited for the meat and vegetables to be cooked and ate them.
The author has something to say: To clarify, this does not support Thorkel's view that "females just need to be raised". This is also one of the conflicts between Cheng Yuan and Thorkel, which will appear in future plots.
Chapter 2 First Night
In the deep cave, darkness falls extremely quickly. It was just dusk and it was already too dark to see anything in the cave. Cheng Yuan sat alone at the entrance of the cave, weaving and playing boredly, waiting for Thorkel, who had run out after eating, to come back.
After pricking a frizzy little rabbit with foxtail grass, Cheng Yuan patted his butt and stood up. When he turned around, he was startled. I didn't know when a tiger appeared behind me, staring at me with a pair of dark eyes, and its white beard was clearly visible.
Cheng Yuan reflected for more than ten seconds before tentatively asking, "Thokel?"
The tiger stretched out its huge head and lightly rubbed Cheng Yuan's arm twice.
Cheng Yuan felt itchy instantly.
Cheng Yuan is a complete cat slave. When he was a child, his parents did not allow him to raise a cat. After working, he lived alone and raised a gray folded cat. He lived frugally but also wanted to provide food and fun for the cat owner. It's just that his master is really not a family member at all and would never take the initiative to touch Cheng Yuan like this.
I also saw Rude's beast form when I was at Sass's house two days ago. I wanted to touch it at that time, but after all, it was someone else's beast form, and I couldn't do that as a "female". Now the tiger's fur is brighter and softer, and it looks good to the touch. . .
Before Cheng Yuan could ask for a "touch," Thorkel transformed back into his human form and told Cheng Yuan to go back to the cave.
The torch crackled. It was already autumn, and the night temperature certainly didn't matter to Sokol, but for Cheng Yuan, it was still enough to make him sick.
The cave was not airtight, and an occasional gust of night wind made Cheng Yuan wrap himself tightly in the blanket.
"Thorkel?" Cheng Yuan called softly to Thorkel, who was fiddling with the fire. "Aren't you coming up?"
Of course, he couldn't refuse the call of his female. Thorkel put down the dry wood in his hand, wiped his hands again, and stepped onto the bed, hugging Cheng Yuan who was nestling on the stone bed. .
Putting his chin lightly on the female's head, Thorkel felt that the female's hair was really soft and she was as good-tempered as their owner.
Cheng Yuan didn't expect Thorkel to hug him when he came up, but considering that Sas and Rude were still in love every day for so many years, it didn't matter. It seems that Thorkel is not disgusted with himself, then. .
"Can you touch me? You look like a tiger."
So, Cheng Yuan was able to touch the tiger as he wished. From the top of the head to the back, he felt along the fur. The smooth fur showed how powerful and strong the owner was.
Thorkel was easily pleased by this gentle touch. He flicked his tail lazily, opened his mouth and yawned.
The tiger's mouth opened wide in front of his eyes, which made Cheng Yuan's eyes widen, and then he smiled softly. The dark eyes were curved with a smile, and they glowed softly in the firelight, reminding Thorkel of the stars in the sky in spring.
Seeing that his female liked him, Sokel simply turned his back and offered a softer abdomen. Cheng Yuan carefully covered it with his hand. The long white hair immediately engulfed the leader. Through the fur, Cheng Yuan could feel Sokel's warmth. Hot body temperature. Cheng Yuan didn't expect that Thorkel would trust him so much. His fragile neck and warm abdomen, the places that needed protection the most, were so exposed in front of him, which moved him deeply, so he tickled Thorkel more gently.
Hearing Thorkel purring with satisfaction, Cheng Yuan knew that his "handicraft" had not deteriorated. The owner of his own cat usually liked him to rub it like this, and would also make such a sound, but without Thorkel. So low.
However, as he touched and touched, Thorkel's voice became more and more anxious. Cheng Yuan didn't find anything at first. When he rubbed his lower abdomen, something came out with malicious intent. He suddenly understood and suddenly took it back. Handed.
Thorkel refused to let him leave. He stood up suddenly and pinned Cheng Yuan under him in the shape of a tiger. Only then did Cheng Yuan realize how huge this tiger was. It could completely cover him, who was 1.8 meters tall.
Thorkel's head rubbed the side of Cheng Yuan's face roughly, and from time to time he stretched out his tongue to lick his neck. The barbed surface of his tongue made Cheng Yuan tremble slightly, as if he was urging him.
"Thoker..." Cheng Yuan called his name softly, his voice was small, but it was enough to be caught by him.
"Do you hate me?"
"..."
"Help me." The female's aura was so strong that Thorkel couldn't let himself stop just like that. His female body was beneath him, and the warm touch ignited something primitive in his soul.
Cheng Yuan's heart changed a thousand times. Today's identity and the ethics of the past twenty years collide in my mind. This won't be the first time, nor will it be the last. Now that I have chosen to be with Thorkel, I can't just be a deserter.
Cheng Yuan closed his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand, and held the frighteningly hot thing.
Thorkel's breath became even more frenzied, and his hot breath spat on Cheng Yuan's neck, leaving him nowhere to hide. The cool tip of the tiger's nose wanders over the face and neck, like a lover's kiss or appraising a delicious meal. Cheng Yuan's breathing also became irregular, and he could only raise his head to accept the unstructured kiss. He never thought that he would actually do such a thing with a tiger.
Thorkel, who had never had a similar experience in more than ten years, could only follow his own instincts at this time. He really wanted to press Cheng Yuan under him, wanted to see him blush, and wanted to hear him cry and call him. name. But he knew that it wasn't possible yet. This female was still very shy, and even if she agreed to have sex with him, she wouldn't do it willingly. Take your time, just like you have done countless times hiding in the jungle waiting for the opportunity to hunt.
Thorkel straightened his waist, and the impact and smoothness made Cheng Yuan let go several times. The low and hoarse purring sound was particularly clear in my ears. When the thick Baiye finally spurted out in his hand, Cheng Yuan trembled violently. Thorkel's sharp teeth were pressed against his carotid artery, and blood would drip out in the next second.
To calm his chaotic heartbeat, Cheng Yuan turned over and got out of bed. He had to clean the things in his hands.
"What?" Thorkel bit Cheng Yuan's clothes and refused to let him leave. "Are you angry?"
"No." Cheng Yuan gave him a reassuring smile, rubbed his head with his other hand, and got out of bed to wipe his hands.
Thorkel quietly transformed back into his human form and hugged Cheng Yuan from behind. He was obviously a head taller than himself, but his voice was a little cautious.
"If you don't like it, I won't do it next time." Although he didn't understand why the female resisted getting close to him, he would not force Cheng Yuan.
Although, he really wanted to.
"I just haven't changed my identity for a while." Cheng Yuan turned his head and explained.
In the past, Thorkel had only heard from his orc friends that some females who were paired very early were not used to mating with each other. Females of marriageable age would learn this knowledge before pairing up. Probably Sass did not tell this female Bar. Well, although this female is old, she really knows very little.
"I'll wait for you." Knowing that the female wasn't disgusted, Thorkel didn't mind waiting a little longer.
"Thank you." Cheng Yuan stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek gently.
The author has something to say: A little short. Mainly here is a person who likes to write H but has a cold temperament.
And, does this count as "not containing sexual depictions from the neck down"?
Chapter 3 New Home
The next day, Cheng Yuan woke up from Sokel's arms. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Thorkel staring at him intently. He had obviously been awake for a long time.
"Good morning." Cheng Yuan smiled at Thorkel, his voice a little hoarse.
Thorkel nodded and then remembered to say, "Morning."
But it was already late. Although it is still early in the morning, for the primitive residents who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, most people get up and start the day's work when the sky is still white.
Cheng Yuan thought he would stay here alone today, but not long after he wandered around the cave, Thorkel came back from outside, changed into his animal form, and sat on him.
At first, Cheng Yuan thought it was not good to ride on someone else, but then he thought about what happened last night. Thinking of the relationship between the two, Cheng Yuan did not shirk and climbed onto Sokel's back.
Thorkel stood up slowly. He could feel Cheng Yuan unconsciously grabbing the hair on his neck, but he didn't seem to dare to use too much force.
"Lie down and wrap your arms around my neck, or hold on tight."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuan slowly leaned down. He wrapped his arms around Thorkell's neck.
Thorkel took two steps first, and then started to trot after Cheng Yuan got used to it. Orcs usually only let their females ride on their backs as a sign of respect and favor, but for Thorkel, this kind of manned experience is really rare.
After going down the mountain, Thorkel led Cheng Yuan to a house in the tribe's residential area.
Cheng Yuan walked up and looked at the house carefully. Although it looks simple and unpretentious, the neatly decorated fence with vines and flowers outside the house is enough to show the owner's care. There is also a tree of unknown species planted in the small yard, which is shining with emerald green luster in the sunlight.
"Did you build it?" Cheng Yuan turned around and asked with a smile, Ru Mo's eyes shining with joy.
"Another orc built the general frame. I repaired it yesterday." Living with a female in a cave on the edge of the tribe is not what a qualified orc would do.
"So fast, so awesome." Cheng Yuan's praise is always direct and sincere.
After entering the house, Cheng Yuan was even more surprised. The new house is very beautiful. Although the brand new tables, chairs and beds are not so exquisite, they still have a quaint warmth. The bed is covered with many layers of animal skins, which is much softer than the stone bed. Cheng Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Thorkel with a gentle smile, "Thank you."
Thorkel has lived in the cave for many years. The strong orc does not need to consider safety issues. This house is obviously because of him. Prepared for arrival.
But Thorkel was puzzled by this thank you.
No orc would let his female live in a cave. Yesterday, he spent the whole night in the cave because the house was not ready. It was said that he had treated Cheng Yuan badly, but Cheng Yuan not only did not get angry because of this, but was actually disappointed with the existence of the house today. Express thanks. This female, while clumsy and unable to do any work, seemed to have been abused and had no sense of taking care of her for granted. Thorkel thought to himself that Cheng Yuan might come from a very privileged family. , was living outside for some reason. Looking at the injuries all over his body, he probably suffered a lot of grievances. Thinking of this, Thorkel raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Yuan's head, "No need to thank you, I will protect you."
"Ah, thank you... um." Cheng Yuan agreed with a smile, not understanding the meaning of this sentence. Where does the tail's protection come from.
The new house still needs a lot of details, and everything is missing: pots, pans, and pots. At this time, there were already informal currency transactions in the orc world, and things could be bought with money. However, when it came to Thorkell, the situation was a little different.
Thorkel is an adult orc and has lived alone for a long time. Money is of little use to him. Food can be hunted, and one piece of beast skirt is enough. Orcs who are more accustomed to raw food have little demand for condiments. So for Thorkel at this time, barter trading was the first choice. After placing Cheng Yuan in the house, he prepared to go hunting.
Cheng Yuan originally wanted to go with him. He knew little about the world and was eager to obtain information. However, he also knew that he would be a burden to the team, so he only told Thorkel to be careful.
After looking around the new home carefully, Cheng Yuan remembered that he should go back to visit Sas.
Along the way, many people cast curious glances at Cheng Yuan. This female with an unknown origin and a mysterious life experience paired up with Thorkel inexplicably. One of the strongest orcs in the tribe married such a female who was nearly ten years older, which made everyone in the tribe sigh. Sigh again.
Cheng Yuan smiled back at everyone who looked at him. Cheng Yuan's appearance is not very good-looking, but when he smiles, there is a shallow pear dimple on the right corner of his mouth, coupled with a pair of dark and gentle eyes, he makes the whole person extraordinarily approachable, with an extra kind of gentleness. in.
After asking around, I found Sass's home. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sasse busy in his yard. The Sass family has two orcs and one female. The oldest orc is about to reach adulthood and has already begun to learn various hunting skills. The youngest female is still in the tribe's academy.
"Cheng Yuan, you're here." As soon as he saw Cheng Yuan, Saas immediately put down his work, came up to him and gave him a full hug,
"Well, I'll come back to see you." Cheng Yuan leaned his head on Saas On Si's shoulder, he answered softly.
Saas pulled Cheng Yuan into the room and kept asking him if he was used to being at Sokel's place and if Sokel treated him well. Cheng Yuan answered repeatedly, feeling endless gratitude to this female who saved his life and took care of him in every possible way.
After finishing talking, Cheng Yuan asked the most important question of this trip. "Sass, what can I do in the tribe?" He didn't have any great ambitions, but he didn't want to really wait for Thorkel to feed him at home.
"Well..." Sasi tilted his head and thought for a while, "What do you know how to do?"
This question stumped Cheng Yuan. Although he is not indifferent to the four bodies and five grains, he really knows very little about this world. He has never done any hand-knitting, so he can only learn now.
"By the way," Cheng Yuan blinked, "I can teach."
"Teaching?" Sasi's eyes lit up, "Are you literate?"
Of course Cheng Yuan is literate, but what he knows is modern Chinese characters, not words in this world, but no one said that you must be a Chinese teacher to be a teacher.
"I can teach mathematics, just arithmetic." Cheng Yuan replied.
"There's nothing to learn in arithmetic." Sass shook his head, not optimistic.
There is no mathematical system in this world at all, and even the multiplication table has not yet appeared. Knowing three digits is enough for daily production and life, and the teaching content is very lacking.
"Yes. You can take me to the school to try it out." When it comes to his job, Cheng Yuan became much more confident.
Saas thought about it and agreed.
The school is just a relatively large house deep in the tribe. There are only two teachers, one teaches the children and the other teaches the older students. The learning content is not systematic. Graduation is considered to be knowing basic words.
After hearing what Cheng Yuan said, the principal, the tribal chief, asked dubiously, "Do you really have other knowledge to teach the children?"
"Yes." Cheng Yuan nodded firmly.
In the next hour, Cheng Yuan talked about some basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithms and area and volume formulas, and then connected these with real life. The application rate of more difficult knowledge is too low here, so there is no need to consider it.
After listening in confusion, the chief made a final decision on Cheng Yuan's position as mathematics teacher. The teacher has a high status in the tribe, second only to the chief and the witch doctor. This makes Cheng Yuan very happy. On the one hand, he has income, and on the other hand, he can do the job he likes, killing two birds with one stone.
After simply arranging the class schedule according to the modern school method, Cheng Yuan was rushed to practice a class directly.
Under the seat were a group of teenagers, blinking at Cheng Yuan. "Math class", this is something they have never heard of.
The moment he picked up the chalk, Cheng Yuan suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. Even if it was the most basic lesson on understanding Arabic numerals, he still taught it with great interest. There will be no pressure to rank in exams, no pressure on teaching progress, and no helplessness in exam-oriented education. He can intersperse some stories about the history of mathematics between his lectures. Although these celebrities do not exist in this world, the children still listen with interest.
After one class, the children all had a certain understanding of the new thing "mathematics" and got to know the new teacher, whose smile was as warm as the sunshine in the early spring morning. Even the most naughty children on weekdays were embarrassed to cause trouble today. Cheng Yuan was deeply moved by the realization of this ideal teaching environment in such a technologically backward world.
After class, Cheng Yuan and Sasi returned home with the little female Youmi. Along the way, Youmi asked Cheng Yuan many questions familiarly. When he was approaching the door of his home, Cheng Yuan looked up and saw Sokel walking towards him.
"You're back." Cheng Yuan took two quick steps to greet him. "Did it go well?"
"Yeah." If you don't count those orc friends who asked him "ill-intentionedly" how he was doing last night along the way, everything went smoothly.
On the way back, Cheng Yuan told Thorkel about becoming a teacher. This was an impromptu idea and he didn't discuss it with Thorkel. To be honest, it was his fault.
"Do you mind?" Cheng Yuan raised his head and asked. He saw that Thorkel's face was not very good, and he seemed to disapprove of his actions.
"Teaching children is tiring." Thorkel said with a serious expression. A group of chattering children really gave him a headache.
"It's okay, the students are very cute and obedient." Cheng Yuan felt relieved knowing that he didn't mind that he made his own decision without saying hello.
Thorkel hesitated and asked, "Do you like children?"
"Well, not bad." Rather than liking children, it is better to say that he likes the joy of imparting knowledge.
Thorkel raised his hand and rubbed the top of Cheng Yuan's soft hair, wondering if they could have another baby.
The author has something to say: Yeah. . . I always feel that writing this novel is very tiring, and I feel like I haven't gotten to the point yet.
In the past, most of the furry novels had the protagonist using modern knowledge to flourish in agriculture and handicrafts. Although it was fun to watch, it felt less realistic. So compared to these, I would rather let Cheng Yuan become a mathematics teacher. . Personally, I think this arrangement is more reasonable and reliable.
Chapter 4 He is mine
Cheng Yuan thought that it would take a long time for his and Sokel's lives to get along, but unexpectedly the two got along unexpectedly.
Sokel was taciturn, and Cheng Yuan kept to himself. The two of them had very little communication on a daily basis. What they talked about the most was probably Sokel teaching Yuan about various common fruits and vegetables.
Thorkel never looked into Cheng Yuan's lack of basic common sense, as if he was completely unaware of it, which reassured Cheng Yuan. There is always no way to explain his origins. If Thorkel really pursues the question, he will not be able to hide it. From another time and space? This identity can be said to be a god or a ghost. If there is a mistake, Cheng Yuan's safety will be in danger, but in this situation of unknown origin, Thorkel is still willing to choose to believe in him.
The work of the school is going quite smoothly, and the students are very well-behaved. Because the teaching content is relatively simple, there are no students who can't understand it. This smoothness is especially obvious in large classes. But at the same time, Cheng Yuan finally ushered in a troublesome student-Yellen.
Yellen is an excellent orc and a smart student. In Cheng Yuan's class, he is always the first to react and absorbs knowledge the fastest. Logically speaking, he should be the teacher's favorite student. But in fact, this student was extremely conceited and flamboyant about his intelligence.
For example, in class today, Cheng Yuan listed a simple mixed operation of addition and subtraction and asked the class to raise their hands to answer. Yellen answered as quickly as possible and raised her hand, and then directly reported the answer when Cheng Yuan did not call his name.
"Well, Yellen's answer is correct." Although he answered the question without his permission, Cheng Yuan didn't take it to heart. It is normal for students aged 14 to 15 to have a strong desire for expression. But then, Yellen said in a loud voice, "It's a very simple question!"
This sentence suddenly ignited the anger of the classmates.
This is not the first time Yellen has done something like this, but everyone was similar before. Yellen couldn't show too much superiority, so the students tolerated it. But this is the first time everyone has come into contact with hybrid computing, and many students are still at the first step. Yellen's behavior has obviously hurt the students' self-esteem.
The class suddenly became chaotic, and a few taller orcs even raised their fists.
"What, you want to fight? Stupid big guy." Yellen crossed his arms with a look of disdain,
"You motherless coward!" The little orc immediately retorted.
Yellen jumped up as if being lit on fire after hearing this, "Who do you think doesn't have a mother and a father?"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Cheng Yuan knocked on the desk vigorously, "Quiet. Quiet!"
The students immediately shut up and looked at Cheng Yuan. This was the first time their extremely affable teacher had become angry.
Cheng Yuan didn't look very angry. After those two "quiet" words, his tone became calm and extremely indifferent. The eyes that usually shined with gentle light during lectures were as dark as the sky when a storm was about to come. Yellen's eyes dodge for a moment, not daring to look directly at him.
"Everyone, please sit down first. The teacher will finish explaining this question. Yellen, come to my office after class...come to my house tomorrow morning." Cheng Yuan almost forgot that there is no separate office here. Three teachers share a small office. The room is filled with writing miscellaneous items and files.
Before school ended, Cheng Yuan glanced at every student in the class and said calmly, "I don't want civil strife in my class. This is not only a shame for me, but also a shame for the entire tribe."
Unity . , is vital to every collective.
After school, Cheng Yuan went to two other teachers to learn about Yellen's situation. I learned from the other two teachers that Yellen's family is indeed somewhat special. The marriage between his mother and father and his beast father was not a good one. His mother and father came from a foreign race and were exchanged females. They were reluctantly assigned to his beast father that year. After giving birth to Yellen, the relationship between Yellen's mother and father and her father became increasingly cold. Finally, one day, Yellen's mother and father chose to run away from home and never came back. Yellen has become more sensitive as a result, reacting extremely violently to others mentioning things about her mother and father.
In the evening, Cheng Yuan told Thorkel about Yellen.
These days, Thorkel seems to have learned a lot about food, and he is particularly attached to him. He always likes to sleep with him in his arms. Sometimes, hands would dishonestly explore Cheng Yuan's clothes and slowly touch his skin, but never take any further action.
Cheng Yuan let him go. After all, considering the relationship between the two, this behavior was normal, and Thorkel's behavior did not disgust him.
To what Cheng Yuan said, Thorkel only replied with two words, "Coward."
"Don't be like this, he is still a child. It is normal to have some psychological fluctuations in this special period."
"At the age of fifteen, orcs have Hunting ability." The implication is that Yellen is no longer a child at this age and can stand alone.
But for Cheng Yuan's thoughts, fifteen years old was the time when he was in junior high school, so of course he was still young. In the eyes of teachers, students are children no matter how old they are.
Cheng Yuan twisted slightly, and Thorkel just touched the itchy flesh on his waist.
Thorkel thought that Cheng Yuan was dissatisfied with his words and felt that he should say something more convincing. After thinking for a while, he added a rare sentence, "I am nineteen this year."
Cheng Yuan was stunned.
He thought he was five or six years older than Thorkel, but he didn't expect that he was actually ten years older than him. Suddenly, a feeling of guilt for being an old cow eating young grass and a sense of shame for "actually doing such a thing with someone about the same age as his own student" came to my heart, and I couldn't move for a while.
This reaction was interpreted by Thorkel as the indulgence of agreeing with his own point of view, so his hand went into the pants underneath, but his face remained calm.
"Don't make trouble, let's be serious." Cheng Yuan moved forward, but his tone was not harsh.
"Yes." Thorkel obviously knew how not to push too far, so he honestly retracted his hand and changed his posture to wrap his arms around Cheng Yuan.
The female lay softly in her arms, sharing things in her life with her unhurriedly. This was an experience that Thorkel had never had in the past ten years, and the sense of satisfaction that came from it made him extremely greedy.
"He is indeed still a child at heart, but like you said, maybe I should treat him in a more mature way." Cheng Yuan is not a fledgling teacher. He has already taught a class of high school students and has responded to similar incidents. Have your own way.
Thorkel lowered his head and kissed Cheng Yuan gently. This was the action Cheng Yuan taught him. Thorkel loved the intimacy.
Yellen... Thorkel's eyes lit up in the darkness.
The next day happened to coincide with the students' holiday. It was rare that Thorkel didn't go out this morning, which made Cheng Yuan a little strange. But everyone needs a rest, and Cheng Yuan didn't take it to heart.
Yellen came early in the morning and obviously took this matter to heart. Cheng Yuan opened the door calmly and let him in. As soon as Yellen entered the room, he saw Thorkel who was cleaning up the room. Thorkel glanced back at him, his cold eyes making Yellen flinch, and then he puffed up his chest, pretending not to care.
He had already thought of a lot of words to refute Cheng Yuan.
However, Cheng Yuan did not give him a chance.
After leading him into the house at the beginning, Cheng Yuan walked over to Thorkel and helped him repair things, completely ignoring him. Yellen stood uneasily for a while, then found that Cheng Yuan ignored him, and then courageously sat on the stool, but Cheng Yuan still didn't even look at him.
Seeing Cheng Yuan smiling softly at Sokel, and looking back at the situation in which he was ignored by him, Yellen felt that Cheng Yuan would be better off scolding himself, even beating himself, than leaving him alone. Comes good on one side.
Yellen felt her nose was a little sore. He also remembered that when he was a child, his mother and father were like this. They were very good to him at first. Although they were not as gentle as Cheng Yuan, they would still discipline him and care about him. But on that day, his mother and father suddenly left and never came back. They would never pat his back gently to coax him to sleep, nor would they make him delicious snacks.
He lost his mother and father, and now he is about to lose his teacher...
Cheng Yuan pretended to talk to Sokel, but in fact he was paying attention to Yellen. Seeing that his eyes were starting to turn red, Cheng Yuan knew that it was time.
"Do you want to eat grapes?"
Suddenly a purple and green grape appeared in his sight. Yellen was stunned for a moment and turned his head to the side. "No."
As soon as he said the words, he regretted it. Will the teacher just ignore him completely because he is so ignorant?
Cheng Yuan chuckled and put the grape into Yellen's mouth. This time, Yellen opened her mouth calmly.
"So sour." Yellen muttered for a long time before holding back these words.
"Yeah. Not very familiar yet." Cheng Yuan answered him.
The atmosphere began to become less awkward. Cheng Yuan pulled up a stool and sat next to Yellen, peeling the grape skins slowly.
The grapes here are much more sour than modern ones, especially the skins.
"Do you know why two people want to be together?"
Cheng Yuan asked for no reason.
"Ah... for, for reproduction." After thinking for a long time, Yellen only came up with this answer.
"No," Cheng Yuan shook his head, "Two people are together because they like it. Because of love."
Yellen raised his head, his expression even more confused. This was the first time he heard the word "love".
Cheng Yuan gave him the peeled grapes and continued, "Because two people love each other, they have to be together. And because they love each other, they have to have the fruit of love, which is you. But everyone makes mistakes, and some At that time, the person I liked was not suitable for life. They couldn't stay together for a long time, so they had to separate.
"Then why should I bear the responsibility?" Yellen became excited when he heard this. .
"Because you are also a member of the family." Cheng Yuan's tone was still calm, but loud. "You also have responsibilities in the family. When parents have conflicts, you should do your best to solve them. If the final result is still not good, then at least everyone has tried hard. Since they have worked hard, why complain? "
Cheng Yuan reached out and straightened Yellen's messed up hair, "No one wants you to bear all the mistakes. Your beast father and mother paid for their own mistakes. They have their own choices, even if you are. Their children have no right to ask them to make sacrifices for you. They love you very much, but you cannot use their love as a bargaining chip and think that they have wronged you. You should be proud that you have a decisive and brave mother. Father and a tolerant beast father."
Yellen's eyes flickered and he couldn't answer for a while.
No one had ever said these words to him. The beast father just tolerated him as much as possible and met all his demands. His grandparents also loved him especially because of his mother's death. He had always thought that he deserved this, but today, Cheng Yuan told him that no one had ever owed him anything.
These things are difficult for a half-year-old child to digest. Cheng Yuan was not in a hurry and let him go back first. Thorkel, on the other hand, took the initiative to send Yellen away.
After walking out of the courtyard, Thorkel spoke. "It's not pitiful to have no mother and father."
The straightforward words made Yellen subconsciously want to refute again, but he suddenly remembered Thorkel's life experience and felt that he was not qualified to reply at all.
He still had grandparents who loved him, and a beast father, but Thorkel had nothing, but he still grew up to be the best hunter in the tribe.
But Yellen didn't want to show weakness in front of Thorkel. He straightened his back and looked directly into Thorkel's eyes.
But Thorkel didn't even turn his head and stood still. He glanced at Yellen sideways and said, "Cheng Yuan is my female. If you want him, let's duel." Then he turned around and went home without any hesitation.
Yellen's face turned red. He thought that no one knew what he was thinking, not even Cheng Yuan himself. Unexpectedly, this orc knew everything about it.
He likes Cheng Yuan. When he first saw him, he liked this man with a pear dimple on the right corner of his mouth when he smiled. However, Cheng Yuan smiled and was gentle to everyone, but he only hoped that Cheng Yuan would be kind to himself. Therefore, he listened to Cheng Yuan's class very seriously, and he seemed to be talented in this area and learned faster than others. He attracted Cheng Yuan's attention in an awkward way, but Cheng Yuan didn't notice it. Instead, he was noticed by his orc.
Duels, that's what orcs do when they compete for females.
Thorkel returned home calmly. Not only did he know that Cheng Yuan knew Yellen's thoughts about him, because even if he knew, Cheng Yuan would only think that it was a child's misjudgment of emotions when he was ignorant. He just didn't want Cheng Yuan to waste time on this. A school already took up a lot of Cheng Yuan's energy, and he didn't want his female to be interested in other orcs.
The author has something to say: Those who stay up late coding will almost blur their eyes. Since I came back and saw that it had over a hundred clicks, I coded another chapter.
Before writing about Yellen's admiration for Cheng Yuan, I struggled for a while, wondering whether writing like this might sound like a heartthrob, but after careful consideration, I found that there was no problem.
First of all, Yellen's family background makes him naturally attracted to Cheng Yuan; secondly, since he was a child, few people should have said anything about the opposite sex to him, so he will have a vague feeling for Cheng Yuan, at least for now. I think that's not true love.
The above is a supplement.
In addition, Thorkel does not really have no father or mother. We'll talk about this later. But I promise there won't be any plot where his father is so powerful that he dominates the world.
Chapter 5 "I'm coming to...class"
After that conversation, Cheng Yuan clearly felt the change in Yellen.
This change cannot be said to be obvious. Yellen still performed outstandingly in class, but he would no longer say embarrassing words. In order to help this student who was indeed favored by the teacher, Cheng Yuan specially found the most honest orc in the class and asked him to find an opportunity to take Yellen with him when hunting.
At the beginning, the little orcs didn't like Yellen's joining. Yellen's figure is considered thin among the ORCs, and she cannot be a boost in a team. Instead, she may sometimes become a hindrance. But after taking Yellen twice, the little orcs discovered that Yellen's head is really easy to use. If he cannot become a physical output, then he will become an excellent Zhiduo star, providing more excellent methods for everyone when hunting.
The hunting of the little orcs at this time can only be regarded as practice, and generally they will not choose aggressive animals, and such animals are usually more cunning. With Yellen, it is obvious that they can get twice the result with half the effort.
Yellen was still embarrassed when she first received the invitation from the team. On the one hand, he is eager to join a group; on the other hand, his long-term solitary nature makes him have certain obstacles to normal interpersonal communication. But he didn't refuse because he guessed that Cheng Yuan was silently supporting him. Under Cheng Yuan's push, Yellen grew little by little. This time, he wants to prove to Cheng Yuan that he will no longer be a child, and he will become stronger.
"Sokel?" Yellen thought to herself, "I will surpass you!"
In mid-August, the weather is no longer hot, and the autumn tiger has a faint tendency to raise its head. Every household has become busier.
There are many things in this orc world that surprise Cheng Yuan. One is farming and the other is writing brushes.
Although the farming technology here is not yet perfect, there is no sledge, and people just plow and sow with hoes, the benefits brought by this farming have provided great help in feeding the population.
The second point of the brush moved Cheng Yuan's heart even more.
When he first saw the writing brush in the office, Cheng Yuan's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, he felt that someone, like him, had also traveled to this place. However, after calming down and analyzing it carefully, Cheng Yuan became disappointed again.
I heard from people here that the writing brush appeared decades ago. At that time, a female indeed came to the Fox tribe, studied this kind of thing, and spread it. However, if that "female" really came from the same place as Cheng Yuan, and could at least teach people to write, how could she leave only this kind of civilization? Thinking about it this way, maybe I am really too worried. The brushes here are poorly made and not very durable. Maybe it was just invented by the female.
However, the emergence of the writing brush gave Cheng Yuan another task - practicing calligraphy.
Cheng Yuan's hard-pen calligraphy is very beautiful, elegant yet calm, but his soft-pen calligraphy is much inferior in comparison. This is the result of his neglect of practice in recent years. Now that I'm picking it up again, it's not too handy.
The cost of ink is very high, so only teachers with special status can use it in unlimited quantities. But at this time, people's requirements for beautiful and ugly calligraphy were not high. After all, they were still in the period of seeking food and clothing. There were very few pursuits of such elegant things. Even the other two teachers only wanted to be horizontal and vertical. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing. In this way, Cheng Yuan has the best handwriting among the tribe.
That day, Cheng Yuan had just finished practicing calligraphy and came out to prepare for class. When he looked up, he saw Sokel walking towards him.
"Why are you here? I haven't finished class yet." Thorkel sometimes comes to pick up Cheng Yuan from get off work. Cheng Yuan thought that he didn't grasp the time well and came early today.
"I'm here...to teach." Thorkel thought for a moment and found the appropriate word that he didn't often use.
After asking, I found out that Thorkel was here to take over the class of an orc friend.
In one month, it will be the Ascension Festival. All little orcs over the age of fifteen are eligible to participate in a test. Those who pass the test will be considered to have grown into a qualified orc. The biggest benefit after growing up is that they can have The right to pair up.
Although fifteen years old is still early, and few orcs actually pair up at this age, having this right is a supreme honor for an orc, so capable little orcs will show off their skills at this time , wanting to leave a heroic figure in front of the females of the tribe. Of course, if you don't want to participate and want to wait, the tribe will allow it.
Thorkel is an example. He only participated in the Leap Festival last year and is considered the oldest participant in history. Cheng Yuan asked Thorkel out of curiosity when he first heard about this adult activity, and was surprised when he heard the result. Faced with Cheng Yuan's question, Thorkel's answer was ordinary.
"No need."
He had no interest in the right to pair up. Although this kind of activity is difficult, it is still controlled within a certain safe range. He has no intention of competing with other orcs who want to be in the limelight, so he simply did not sign up until last year when an orc friend asked him to take care of his orc child who was weak due to illness. , Thorkel only attended by the way.
However, Thorkel is still very grateful for his decision last year. Otherwise, he would have no chance to get Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan originally wanted him to wait for him in the office, but Sokel said that he would rather listen to Cheng Yuan's class.
Cheng Yuan will also teach Sokel some things at home these days. In addition to mathematics, he also teaches some poetry. But the latter is just entertainment. After all, no one except the two of them can understand it, and it is really not very practical.
Cheng Yuan listened to Thorkel's idea, thought about it, and nodded.
Thorkel found a seat at the end of the class and sat down. His arrival made the children very curious. After learning about his relationship with Cheng Yuan, the atmosphere became even more heated. They all stretched their necks and looked back.
Among them, Yellen is the most special. After he saw Thorkel tense up at first, he showed no concern for this special person, as if Thorkell didn't exist. But in fact, he has been complaining in his heart for a long time.
Cheng Yuan responded to Thorkel's arrival very naturally, giving lectures as usual with an indifferent expression. Although I felt uncomfortable for a while at the beginning, I became immersed in the class and worked hard to guide the students, so I was not so affected. Thorkel's eyes fell on Cheng Yuanyuan throughout the whole process and never left. This kind of strong presence was difficult to ignore, and even made his class slightly incoherent. However, as a teacher, it has become a habit to be baptized by the gaze on the podium, and it gradually gets better as time goes by
. "Then our class ends here. Next, Teacher Thorkel will teach the hunting class to the orc students. The little females can get off from school. ."
Cheng Yuan walked off the podium and was greeted by Sokel, who naturally walked out of the classroom side by side with him. The bold orcs behind him were making noises, and a few lively females were also chuckling. Cheng Yuan seemed to be walking out calmly, but his face quietly turned red, all the way to the root of his neck. He had never been heckled like this by students. He only had one boyfriend after graduating from college. After all, people's acceptance of homosexuality was still very low, and the boyfriend rarely showed up in school, let alone in front of students.
Seeing him pretending to be nothing, Thorkell felt like his heart collapsed. Something suddenly melted away and gurgled through his heart, which made people feel itchy.
Thorkel couldn't help but pinched Cheng Yuan's neck gently, and immediately received an angry look. The little orcs at the back cheered even more.
Yellen only felt extremely depressed among her classmates. This was the first time he saw Cheng Yuan blushing, and it was because of Sokel. Hunting lessons? He wanted to see how powerful this man who was regarded as the strongest hunter in the tribe really was.
The orcs came to a large open space and all changed into animal forms. Cheng Yuan was very excited when more than twenty tigers suddenly appeared in front of him. The most conspicuous one here is Yellen. In a sea of ââyellow, orange and orange colors, his little bit of white suddenly became the focus. This kind of coat color is very inconvenient when hunting and is easy to be spotted, but at this time it seems to stand out from the crowd, attracting the attention of many little females who come to watch.
Yellen was very proud of this, and was even more satisfied with the look from Cheng Yuan. However, not long after Cheng looked at him from a distance, his eyes fell back on Thorkel.
Cheng Yuan was not a zoologist. With so many tigers put together, he felt that each of them looked similar. Except for Yellen, who had a special coat, the only one he could recognize was Sokel, who he got to know day and night.
Perhaps because he is a few years older than these orcs, Thorkel's beast shape is larger and more muscular, with smooth fur flowing with a faint golden color in the sun. Even tigers usually look a little stunned due to their relatively small proportions. The eyes are also particularly determined and bright.
Before going to class, Thorkel did not forget to run up to Cheng Yuan and rub his neck. It seems that in his animal form, Thorkel will be more affectionate towards Cheng Yuan.
The content of the next class was difficult for Cheng Yuan to understand. I saw Thorkel demonstrating some moves for a while, asking the orcs to fight each other for a while, and talking about some skills that he didn't understand. Thorkel usually talks very little, but at this time he couldn't say a word. He just cherished his words and occasionally pointed out the shortcomings of his classmates' movements after necessary explanations.
The little beastmen also have many opportunities to learn on weekdays, most of which they learn from their beast fathers. Their performance at this time is not bad, at least in Cheng Yuan's view, those fights are already very shocking.
The weakest one here is still Yellen.
Because of his guilt about his child, Yellen's father took him hunting less often. Coupled with Yellen's rebellious psychology, the two communicated less, so Yellen had much less knowledge in this area. Under this circumstance, Yellen made more frequent mistakes and was singled out by Thorkel many times.
Cheng Yuan felt that this child was really smart, not only in IQ but also in emotional intelligence. Even when she was repeatedly pointed out that she was wrong, Yellen did not get angry. Instead, she worked harder, silently improved, and performed better every time. In the end, she even received a compliment from Thorkel.
"His movements are very standard. You guys should learn from them."
The length of the hunting class is decided by the teacher himself. Thorkel is obviously the type who talks less and does more. He left school after completing the course content.
The little orcs turned back into human form and went home with a few good friends. Thorkel, however, was still in his animal form. He walked towards Cheng Yuan and rubbed Cheng Yuan's body in a circle. He didn't look majestic at all, but more like a big cat that came to ask for rewards
. "The moves just now were very beautiful. "Cheng Yuan leaned over and rubbed the big tiger's head, praising him kindly. He also discovered that Thorkel was more like a child in his beast form, and asked Cheng Yuan to praise him and give him a hug.
Thorkel could never praise Cheng Yuan too much, and he had a fuss with Cheng Yuan for a while before grabbing Cheng Yuan's clothes and carrying Cheng Yuan home.
Chapter 6 Ling Rou
In the next few days, Thorkel came to class more and more frequently. He seemed to be addicted to being a student down there, and he would come early to listen to the class from time to time. Sometimes I miss Cheng Yuan's last class, so he goes out for a walk and picks up Cheng Yuan from get off work later.
Cheng Yuan looked at the situation and asked the other two teachers if they could change the class. Of course it's a good thing to get off work early, so the two teachers agreed directly. Anyway, the school's management is not strict, so it's just casual.
Gradually, Cheng Yuan got used to this pattern. Thorkel's presence in class was very low. He sat in the corner and remained silent, making Cheng Yuan almost forget his existence. When he got home, he would sometimes ask Cheng Yuan two questions, acting like a good student.
Because he had a ready-made tutor like Cheng Yuan, Sokel learned much faster than those students. After memorizing the multiplication tables, he also learned multiplication and division, and he was no longer a problem with basic calculations. Based on this, Cheng Yuan would occasionally give him two word problems in a funny way.
"The manager of a swimming pool is a person who controls the inflow and outflow of water in the pool. He puts in three buckets of water and releases two buckets of water every hour. The pool can hold ten liters of water in total, so how long does it take for him to fill the pool?"
Faced with this classic problem of draining water, Thorkel thought for a moment in silence, "Why did he drain the water and fill it at the same time?"
Cheng Yuan was stunned.
"If the pool is leaking, it should be filled first." Thorkel added. Apparently, he was puzzled by the behavior of this crazy "administrator".
"Okay," Cheng Yuan smiled and spread his hands, "This question is wrong."
Thorkel had no intention of asking Cheng Yuan to admit his mistake, but he found that Cheng Yuan seemed to find his answer particularly interesting. He likes to see the way this female smiles, her black eyes soft and shiny, and the shallow pear dimples will be revealed due to her smile, dotted next to her soft-tasting lips.
After hearing this question that had been complained about in modern times and being questioned seriously by Thorkel again, Cheng Yuan was funny but also realized that he had been poisoned by exam-oriented education for too long, even though he had always yearned for this kind of purity. Even though classes are conducted to serve life, he will still involuntarily take a path that he doesn't like.
Cheng Yuan sighed in his heart. His dream for many years would come true in such a primitive and backward world. This was something he never expected.
Perhaps because the Leap Festival is approaching, the students are extra serious in the hunting class. Cheng Yuan would walk around when he had nothing to do, paying attention to the little females watching nearby. Over time, he discovered a unique student.
A female was hiding aside, staring closely at Thorkel who was in class, and waving her fists from time to time, as if she was studying.
"Ling Rou?" Cheng Yuan stepped forward, "Why don't you play with other friends and hide here by yourself."
"I..." Ling Rou was startled and hurriedly retracted her hands, feet and hands behind her back. "Nothing."
Cheng Yuan looked him up and down. He has also been observing Ling Rou for several days.
"Come, sit down." Cheng Yuan sat on the big rock aside and patted the seat next to him. "You want to learn hunting?"
"...Yeah!" After a moment of hesitation, Lingrou nodded heavily.
"You're very courageous!" Cheng Yuan smiled and pinned his messy hair back.
Ling Rou was stunned.
Ling Rou is a very handsome female who is completely inconsistent with his name. He has wheat-colored skin, a pair of clean amber eyes and slender limbs. This kind of female is born to be sought after and protected by orcs. They will learn to sew, learn to cook, and learn how to grow better food. The only thing they don't need to learn is fighting.
But Ling Rou is such an outlier. He has an appearance that is not inferior to that of other females, but he does not want to become a vassal of the orcs. He is already fifteen years old this year. In one year or at most three years, he will be betrothed to an orc, and then he will have children, run the household, and live a comfortable but meaningless life.
That's not what he wants.
Therefore, he had an extremely outrageous and audacious idea.
He wanted to participate in the Leap Festival and wanted to fight for the right not to be paired.
But in the tribe, there is no such precedent. So he didn't tell anyone about his plan.
But this teacher seems to be different from everyone else. Even if they knew about his outrageous idea, they didn't object or even showed any surprise.
Cheng Yuan smiled and tilted his head and asked him, "It must be hard to learn so quietly."
Ling Rou smiled bitterly.
More than just hard work. Orcs mostly use their beast form when hunting, and females don't have it, so they don't have to learn it. Thorkel sometimes teaches some humanoid fighting movements and techniques, but in the end it is a drop in the bucket. In addition, the physique of females is not as good as that of orcs, so his wish is just a wish in the end.
After hearing what Ling Rou said, Cheng Yuan was silent for a moment.
This is an old society after all, and reproduction is regarded as a very important aspect of life. Many females have accepted many unwilling marriages for this purpose. Even though the orcs treat their females very well and are monogamous and never marry more than once, marrying for love and marrying for bread are two different things.
"Don't worry," Cheng Yuan said, "Let's do this. Starting from tomorrow, you can go to my house when you have time and let Sokel teach you alone. How about it?"
"Really?" Lingrou's amber eyes His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Will the teacher still lie to you?" Cheng Yuan was amused by his appearance.
"That's great! Thank you, teacher!" Ling Rou jumped up happily and hugged Cheng Yuan.
Thorkel had just finished class and found Cheng Yuan in search of the smell. He saw a female hugging his wife and refused to let go. He quickly walked up and pulled Cheng Yuan back.
"Eh? Are you out of class?" Cheng Yuan bumped into a hard chest, looked up and saw that it was Sokel.
"Well, go home."
"Okay." Cheng Yuan responded and said goodbye to Ling Judao, not forgetting to remind him, "Remember to ask your parents for their opinions."
On the way home, Cheng Yuan told Sokel what happened today. .
"Will it affect you? Are there any rules in the tribe?" Cheng Yuan thought about it later and worried that this "rebellious" behavior would implicate Sokel, which was unnecessary.
Thorkel shook his head, "The tribe has no objection."
In fact, the tribe supports females and actively exercises. After all, in this difficult environment, no one is qualified to work and eat for free. If females can also contribute their fighting power, it will improve the entire tribe.
However, not every female is willing to wield swords and guns. More females are content with farming and housework, rather than fighting.
What surprised Cheng Yuan was that the next day, not only Lingrou but also Yellen came.
"He insists on coming here." Ling Rou glanced at Yellen dissatisfied.
Yellen crossed her arms and looked unhappy. "You are allowed to learn, but I am not allowed to learn." He should have been guided by his beast father like other orcs, but the father and son had been at odds for a long time, and they could not teach one another calmly. Although he didn't want to, he still had to admit that Thorkel's level was higher than that of his beast father. So after extracting Ling Rou's words, he followed her.
Of course Thorkel doesn't mind. Teaching the little orcs in the tribe is the responsibility of every adult orc, not to mention, these are two really hard-working students.
Cheng Yuan watched for two days and sighed inwardly that the two children were really desperate. According to Thorkel, if it weren't for the fact that Yellen was an orc, the physical fitness of the two people was actually about the same, and Ling Rou must have been in contact with her on a daily basis. Cheng Yuan was also convinced when he saw the thin muscles that Lingrou had developed at a young age.
However, the reason why these two children have made such rapid progress is because they are competing with each other.
Lingrou felt that Yellen, an orc, was actually whiter than a female, and that she was weaker than herself; Yellen felt that Lingrou, a female who didn't use her brain and only knew how to use fists and kicks, was as good as those stupid big guys with no brute strength. No different. Neither of them was convinced by the other, and naturally they didn't want to be compared, so they worked hard against each other, but they made rapid progress.
Cheng Yuan was infected by the atmosphere between the two and practiced for a while one day. Because Cheng Yuan pays attention to maintenance, he has always maintained the habit of going to the gym several times a week. He gritted his teeth and mastered the basic skills. However, he was exhausted and sweating profusely. His whole body was so sore, especially his legs. It hurts whenever I exert force. Thorkel helplessly massaged the person with little force.
"Hiss... be gentle, be gentle." Cheng Yuan frowned and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to block it.
Thorkel simply held the man in his arms, wrapped one hand around Cheng Yuan's arms to restrain him, and continued massaging with the other hand unaffected.
Cheng Yuan resisted and tried to think of something to say to distract himself.
"By the way, are you going to the market in two days?"
Thorkel counted the days, "Well, the day after tomorrow."
Before the Ascension Festival, there will be a joint gathering with neighboring tribes, and some little orcs will participate in the Ascension Festival. Families participating in the festival will do shopping on this day to prepare for the test, and families without anyone to participate will also buy supplies for the autumn harvest on this day.
Going to the market... Cheng Yuan thought, this time different tribes are gathering together, and he wonders what other interesting orcs he will see.
The author has something to say: I always feel like I can't open my pen when writing, as if I'm writing an outline. There are clearly things that should be written but I end up getting through them in just a few strokes. The details are not detailed, and the plot is not advanced quickly.
I have fallen into a feeling of self-loathing.
Chapter 7 Going to the Market (1)
Cheng Yuan was woken up by Sokel when it was just dawn. He reluctantly opened one eye in a daze, and found that there was still gray outside. Cheng Yuan mumbled in a hoarse voice, "So early?
" It was rare for a female to be so confused. Thorkel sat on the edge of the bed and patted the person's face, "It's late. The place is far away."
"Well..." Cheng Yuan rubbed his eyes and struggled to stretch out an arm. He immediately shrank back.
Although it was still August, the temperature in the early morning was really not high, and it was so cold that Cheng Yuan shivered. Upon seeing this, Thorkel took the clothes that had been prepared on one side, found the front and back of the clothes, and put them on his head.
"No, I myself..." Before he could say the word, Cheng Yuan's head had already subconsciously come out of the collar to cooperate.
"Extend your arms." Thorkel gestured while tugging on his clothes.
Cheng Yuan blushed slightly, but still followed the good example.
It's really embarrassing for such a big person to be taken care of by someone who is ten years younger than me.
So when Sokel went to get his pants again, Cheng Yuan started to do it, took them over, hid under the quilt and put them on quickly.
After he finished washing, Thorkel handed him the package that he had packed yesterday, transformed into a beast shape and motioned for him to sit on it.
Cheng Yuan always felt that Thorkel seemed to have grown taller, not only in human form, but also in animal form. Thorkel's animal shape is much larger than an ordinary tiger. Even though he is lying on the ground now, Cheng Yuan still has to climb on his back to get up.
"Have you grown up again?" Cheng Yuan carefully adjusted his sitting posture, trying to find a balance point.
"Yeah. I'm still growing."
Growing? Cheng Yuan was confused for a moment before he remembered Sokel's age again. Nineteen is indeed the time to grow...
After leaving the yard and seeing so many orcs carrying their own females, Cheng Yuan realized that the two of them were really not too early. In order to take care of Cheng Yuan, Thorkel deliberately slowed down his running speed. In the blink of an eye, several familiar friends greeted them and passed them.
"Let's hurry up." Cheng Yuan felt a little itchy and lowered his body to tightly grasp the soft long hair around Sokel's neck.
After hearing this, Thorkel immediately speeded up. The cool breeze blew on his face, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees. The refreshing feeling made Cheng Yuan laugh happily. He had also gone to the racecourse to ride horses with his friends, but this feeling was different. Horses are the joy of galloping, and riding on the king of beasts is the joy of being in nature.
This is the first time Cheng Yuan has left the tribe, and when he encounters a stream along the way, Thorkel will stop and take a look. Look, when the two of them arrived at the meeting venue, many merchants had already set up stalls and started shouting.
There were more people going to the market than Cheng Yuan expected. The stalls on both sides were filled with all kinds of things that Cheng Yuan had never seen before. Moreover, Cheng Yuan also found that his previous conclusion that "the handicraft industry is backward" was really quite absolute. The small carved cups on the stall in front of him were very exquisite. The stall owner was a man with a very fair complexion, a cold aura around him, and a pair of green eyes. His smile had a sense of unreasonable provocation. Seeing that Cheng Yuan was interested in things, he came over to sell them.
"Well, I'll take another look." Cheng Yuan waved his hand and declined. It was still early, and I didn't understand the price, so I might get ripped off.
"People from the snake tribe are good at making pottery." After walking out of the stall, Sokel introduced to Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan swallowed, no wonder he felt as if he was entangled with something. "Are all the snake tribesmen so good-looking?"
Thorkel paused for a moment, then explained, "Most people from the snake tribe and the fox tribe are feminine in appearance."
"Hmm...it seems like there are beauties from these two tribes, I don't know. How good-looking the people from the Fox Clan are."
After hearing this, Thorkel immediately added, "The Tiger Clan is stronger and more powerful than the Fox Clan."
Cheng Yuan blinked and smiled at his words. Wanwan raised his head and looked at Thorkel, who was pretending to be casual, "Well, I also think the tiger clan is better."
Thorkel silently held Cheng Yuan's hand without saying a word.
There were gradually more and more people, and we couldn't let the little female get separated.
As we walked further inside, the crowds of people really became denser. Not far away, there was the sound of forging iron, and the shouting became louder, especially a few rough voices. Cheng Yuan pulled the person over and saw a few particularly strong men standing in front of the stall, knocking on the ironware placed on the stall. These iron tools were polished to a sharp edge and shone coldly in the sun. Although they were simple in shape and lacked any decoration, they had a strong offensive power at first sight.
"The bear tribe, good at blacksmithing, strong, simple... protects his wife." Thorkel was obviously awkward when he said the last word.
"Protect your wife? How protective?"
Before Thorkel could come up with an explanation, someone had already appeared to give his explanation.
"Hey, why are you so close?!" The stall owner rushed over and pulled the female who was introducing something in front of the stall back behind her.
"What are you doing!" The female hit back and punched her partner without holding back at all. "They just asked for a price. What are you talking about!" After saying that, he didn't care about his own orc, and quickly apologized to the orc who just asked for a price, "I'm sorry, he's like that." After saying that, he turned back and glared at the bear orc.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yuan sighed, "It's well-deserved."
The rally lasted for two days. On the first day, people mostly walked around, felt the lively atmosphere and then felt the market. The second day was the time for real trading, but Because the things at this time are purely handmade, if you really find a good one, you can buy it first to avoid being bought.
Here in a somewhat deserted stall, Thorkel spotted an inconspicuous-looking dagger at a glance.
The person looking at the stall was a female who looked about 16 or 17 years old. She lowered her head and looked a little shy. Seeing Thorkel come over and ask the price with a cold face, the female answered with a trembling voice.
After hearing the price, Thorkel frowned, turned around and wanted to leave.
"What's wrong?" After walking around for a long time, it was difficult to see what Thorkel was interested in, so Cheng Yuan asked quickly.
"The price is high," Thorkel replied.
"How high is it? I heard him say it costs eighty rum." Cheng Yuan didn't have an accurate idea of ââthe price of these things, but it sounded like a lot.
"Not much. It should be around seventy-five."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuan knew that the price was only a little more than what Sokel had estimated, so he said, "Then we'll discuss it with him." Bargaining was not something that happened in college because there were too many men. Because I am a girl, I am often asked by girls to go shopping. Sometimes when I meet a female boss who doesn't have enough money, the girl will ask him to negotiate the price. As time goes by, I will improve a lot.
Cheng Yuan turned around, knelt down, and began to discuss softly with the female. The female's face turned red at his gentle tone, but she still shook her head stubbornly, "No, my brother said eighty."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuan knew that the female couldn't make the decision, and just about to give up, he heard someone say, "Hey, who You have such good eyesight, have you fallen in love with this 'Lingshangxue'?"
Cheng Yuan looked up and saw a man walking over. This man was also much taller than Cheng Yuan, but he didn't look as stressful as Sokel. Instead, he had a handsome figure, picturesque features, a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and a flash of red at the corners of his eyes that was particularly alluring.
Without Sokel's explanation, Cheng Yuan knew that this person was probably from the Fox Clan.
"Huh? Little female, do you like this knife?"
"I'm older than you." Cheng Yuan replied that this man must be in his early twenties.
"Beauty, so what if she is older? Especially for such a knowledgeable beauty,
this sentence is obviously a joke. In terms of appearance, Cheng is far less gorgeous than this fox tribe member.
"It's not me who likes her, she is my partner. Cheng Yuan smiled slightly and stopped responding to his teasing.
The fox orc glanced at Thor as if he had just seen him, "It's you." You cold guy, there is actually a female pairing up with you. Little female, why don't you stop following him and follow me. "
My partner treats me very well. "After listening to the words of the Fox Clan, Cheng Yuan knew that these two people must know each other. After speaking, he took a step back behind Sokel, smiled and said nothing.
"Simeng. "Thoker said his name as a greeting.
"Hello. "Simeng took the dagger and gave it to Thorkel, but he said, "It's such a waste to put such a beautiful dagger in your hands. "
Thokel didn't give any money, but he handed over two gems of good quality.
Simeng didn't mean to thank him, and waved his hand to send the person away, because he didn't think he was standing here and disturbing his business.
Cheng Yuan accepted After passing the dagger, I discovered that the seemingly simple scabbard actually had a large dark pattern carved on it. I didn't notice it until I didn't look carefully.
When I pulled out the knife, I saw a flash of cold light. Although I dare not say that it cuts gold like clay. , but it looks very sharp.
"Did he make this knife? So awesome. "Cheng Yuan admired sincerely.
"Well," Thorkel rarely agreed with Cheng Yuan's praise of others, "Simeng is the best swordsmith I know.
"But, isn't it said that the Bear tribe is good at blacksmithing? " Why is the best swordsmith in the fox clan? Cheng Yuan was puzzled.
Thorkel pulled him over and carefully avoided an orc who was waving his arms and talking loudly. "The bear tribe is only good at blacksmithing. The things they make are solid and heavy, but have poor flexibility." Simon's knife is light and flexible, easier to carry, and relatively simple. "
Simple? Cheng Yuan looked at the large carvings on the dagger, silently puzzled.
However, when he saw other stalls of the Fox Clan, Cheng Yuan felt that Simeng's dagger was really simple!
Things from the Fox Clan, It is both gorgeous and practical, but the bold colors still surprised Cheng Yuan.
The sun gradually moved overhead, and Cheng Yuan's stomach began to growl. The two of them went shopping. After a while, Cheng Yuan hugged a large bag of various snacks.
The food of each tribe also has its own style. The food of the Fox tribe is more delicate and exquisite, the taste of the Bear tribe is thick, and the food of the Tiger tribe is mostly interview. But Cheng Yuan likes it the most. Candies of the Snake Clan.
Some of the candies are shaped like sparrows, some are like doves, and some have plump wings and even better tail wings. It seems that the Snake Clan doesn't compromise on refinement
. I randomly picked a small thrush-shaped candy man. The taste of this thing was not as good as modern candies. It was purely sweet and boring to eat. Cheng Yuan bought it just for fun, so he bought it at Sokel's request. One.
He took two steps forward and suddenly heard the cry of a child.
Did the sound sound familiar?
Cheng Yuan pulled Sokel over and saw a little female crying on the roadside. There was a circle of people around. Cheng Yuan walked in and saw that this little female was the youngest student in the class.
"Well, why are you crying here alone?" "Cheng Yuan hurried over and knelt down to rub the little female's head.
"Teacher? Enen opened one eye in confusion. "I can't find the beast's parents..." After saying that, he started crying again.
"Okay, okay, be good, the teacher is here." Don't be afraid, now, I'll give you candy. "Cheng Yuan took the newly bought candy man Sai Enen into his hands and coaxed him a few more words. Because the little female had someone she knew, her attention was attracted by the candy again. She gradually stopped crying and huddled in Cheng Yuan's arms. He kept silent.
Because Thorkel was familiar with this place, Cheng Yuan sent him to find Enen's parents and stayed with Enen himself. Thorkel was reluctant at first because there were too many people here and he was worried about Cheng Yuan alone. It's not safe here. But Cheng Yuan felt that as an adult he would not be bullied in public, so he persuaded Sokel to leave.
As a result, some people dared to speak rudely in broad daylight
. There are quite a lot of this part, please distribute it separately.
Chapter 8 Thank you
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. These words are still relevant in this primitive world. In order to stay out of the way, Cheng Yuan and Enen stood behind the rows of stalls, and while they were coaxing Enen in a low voice, they saw a few orcs approaching with ill intentions.
"Hey, little female, why are you here alone?"
Cheng Yuan glanced at the visitor and hid aside without saying a word.
When the rude orc saw it, he felt that Cheng Yuan's gentle demeanor was easy to bully, so he took two steps forward unscrupulously.
"Why are you hiding? Let's chat."
Cheng Yuan ignored him, picked up Enen and wanted to leave, but several orcs came over and blocked the way with a smile.
Children's intuition is always sensitive. Enen seemed to be frightened and kept pushing into Cheng Yuan's arms. Cheng Yuan patted Enen and asked him to bury his head in his neck and carefully observed the group of people standing in front of him.
This group of people were unkempt, their clothes were a little sloppy, and they had different body shapes, but they had strong limbs and dark skin. Coupled with their rogue temperament, Cheng Yuan initially estimated that they were either wandering orcs or from a small tribe. Some tribes have few members and need fighting power. They are unable to expel orcs with bad behavior like Cheng Yuan's large tribe does, thereby fueling the arrogance of such people.
Unable to hide, Cheng Yuan simply stood still and said loudly, "There's nothing to talk about. My partner will come to pick me up soon and he will be angry."
This place is just closer to the side, and there are still many pairs of eyes around. At this time, someone was already looking this way.
The orc hesitated.
These orcs were just here to harass people, and there was no way they would dare to abduct a female in a public place. If this female orc really comes and makes a fuss and angers everyone, they won't be able to eat and just walk around. But then I thought about it, they were outnumbered and it would be shameful if they were scared away by the little female with just one word. Moreover, does this female really have a mate? There didn't seem to be any other orc scent on him.
After weighing the situation, the orc advanced instead of retreating and reached out to touch Cheng Yuan's face. Cheng Yuan quickly avoided it subconsciously. "Oh, the little female looks so good and has such a bad temper." An orc next to him smiled exaggeratedly.
Cheng Yuan was about to say something when a lazy voice appeared, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, bullying a little female in broad daylight. Why, you don't have the ability to marry, so you come here to be in love?"
Cheng Yuan looked up and saw that it was Simon.
The leading orc looked at Simeng with squinted eyes, "Hey, he's from the fox tribe. Tsk tsk."
The orcs from the fox tribe have a gentle appearance, so many orcs from other tribes will make rude remarks to them. But the Fox Clan itself is a large clan, and now that various groups are connected to each other, this view has long been eliminated. Even if someone has a dark heart, they can only talk about it behind their back. By scolding him head-on, are you trying to make things difficult for the entire fox clan?
But Simon didn't need help.
I saw a flash of cold light, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on the orc's neck. The wound was not deep, and it only bled but was not fatal. Simon wiped the blood stains on the blade of his hand in disgust, "Tsk, what, you've eaten too many vegetable leaves to fill your teeth." ?"
"You!" The orc wanted to say something else, but his accomplice stopped him.
If the fuss continues, the next cut will be more than just a cut that bleeds.
"Get out of here!" Simeng said casually, without raising his head, but his body had already moved to Cheng Yuan's side.
At this time, many people were looking this way. They were not afraid of Simeng alone if the commotion continued, but they were worried about provoking public anger. A group of orcs said a few harsh words, turned around and left.
"Ugh, rubbish." Simeng mouthed with disdain.
"Thank you." Cheng Yuan said.
"It's easy. Speaking of which, that boy Thorkel is so incompetent that he can't even protect his own female. Why would you follow such an orc? Why don't you follow me?"
Cheng Yuan smiled upon hearing this, and before he could reply, Thorkel's figure appeared.
"Why are you here?" Thorkel protected Cheng Yuan behind him and stared at Simeng with a wary expression. As soon as I came back, I heard that this guy was going to steal his female, which was extremely excessive.
"What are you doing? Repay kindness with vengeance." Simon rolled his eyes. "My little female would have been bullied long ago."
After hearing this, Thorkel immediately turned to Cheng Yuan, "What's going on?"
Cheng Yuan had no choice but to briefly explain the matter.
Before Thorkel could say anything else, Enen's parents had already arrived and took Enen back with gratitude. By the time Cheng Yuan saw off Enen's parents, Simeng had already left.
Looking at Thorkell's increasingly gloomy face, Cheng Yuan explained, "It's not as exaggerated as Simon said. Even if he doesn't come, those orcs won't do anything to me. I just need to shout, and they will There are many people coming to help, and they will definitely be scared away. "
This is true. The birth rates of orcs and females are actually not much different, but because females are weaker, their survival rate is not high in this backward world. Therefore, females have always been a protected group, not to mention that there are two people, one big and one small. She is a female, and no one will just sit idly by and ignore her.
Although this was the reason, Thorkel was still worried. He stayed close to him for the next afternoon. Even when Cheng Yuan was looking for a convenient place, he had to stay not far from him. If Cheng Yuan hadn't strongly requested , and stayed with me without waiting.
When the sun was setting in the west, Thorkel carried Cheng Yuan, whose legs were sore, for a stroll home. Cheng Yuan lay lazily on Thorkel's back, ruffling the hair on his head.
"Thorkel," Cheng Yuan said, "Is it difficult for those small tribes to live?"
"Well, it's difficult." It was rare to hear the word "very" from Thorkel's mouth.
"How difficult is it?" Cheng Yuan asked.
"Sometimes there are only a dozen people in a tribe, and only three or four females." Thorkel said.
Reproduction is always a constant topic.
"What about the remaining orcs?" Cheng Yuan asked next.
"Look for other tribes."
"What if other tribes refuse?" As soon as the words came out, Cheng Yuan had already reacted and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The answer was already clear,
"...shared."
Cheng Yuan was silent.
After a while, Cheng Yuan stretched his neck and rubbed Sokel's furry tiger head. He has never been so lucky that he came to this big tribe of the Tiger Clan, and he has never been so lucky that Thorkel took him in.
"Thank you." Cheng Yuan said softly.
Thorkel didn't know what he was thanking, he just turned his head and licked his face comfortingly.
Tomorrow will be a lively and beautiful day.
When I got home, it was already dark. Cheng Yuan, who was sweating all over, urgently needed a bath. The temperature of the river water in the evening during this season certainly didn't matter to orcs like Thorkell, but for Cheng Yuan, it was likely to make him catch a cold.
This is not modern times, and a cold is not a minor illness.
In the past, I would go down to the river to wash myself at noon when the water was warm from the sun, but now I could only use a basin filled with hot water for cleaning.
Seeing Cheng Yuan bring a pot to boil water, Thorkel asked, "Take a bath?"
"Well, I feel uncomfortable." Cheng Yuan replied.
Looking back, Thorkel pulled out a large wooden barrel from nowhere and placed it in the house.
"When did I buy it?" Cheng Yuan was very satisfied with this
. "When I moved here."
Thorkel added water, tested the water temperature again, and signaled to Cheng Yuan that it was OK.
Thorkel was on the side and had no intention of going out. Cheng Yuan didn't show any pretense and walked in with nothing but clothes on. Thorkel stood behind him and took the handkerchief to wipe Cheng Yuan's shoulders.
The two of them were speechless for a moment, the heat made Cheng Yuan's skin red, and even the tips of his ears began to turn red. Cheng Yuan sat in the bathtub, lowering his head and wiping himself.
The position of Thorkel's hand remained unchanged, but the strength gradually increased involuntarily. The rough cloth caused Cheng Yuan pain. "Don't always rub one place, it will hurt."
The breathing of the person behind him suddenly became heavier.
Cheng Yuan still lowered his head. He couldn't see Thorkel's expression, and even the surroundings were blurred by the dim light. But he could feel something pressing against the base of his neck, ready to move.
Bupa went all the way down Cheng Yuan's body, and finally lingered between his legs. Cheng Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously closed his legs, only to clamp the hand.
Thorkel leaned down and whispered in Cheng Yuan's ear, "I should take a shower too."
Sometimes Thorkel was straightforward and straightforward, and sometimes he was too tactful.
Cheng Yuan knew that Thorkel was asking for his opinion, and he couldn't refuse.
Besides, this bucket is obviously too big for one person.
"Then, let's get together."
The next second, Thorkel took off his clothes and sat astride him.
There was more than enough bathtub for one person, but not enough for two people. Thorkel naturally carried the person over and let Cheng Yuan sit in his arms.
Cheng Yuan moved uncomfortably. The thing behind his waist was too arrogant.
Thorkel touched every inch of Chengyuan's chest with one hand, while the other hand went straight down. Cheng Yuan's body trembled when someone held his weak spot, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he was bitten.
"Suo...Sokel..." Cheng Yuan wanted him to stop, but Sokel speeded up as if he was determined to let him out. Thorkel's technique was not good, but the thin calluses on his fingertips increased the intensity of pleasure. Cheng Yuan could only raise his neck, exposing the most deadly part to Thorkel's sharp teeth, and used both hands to Stay on the edge of the bucket to bear the onset of numbness.
As Thorkel's fingertips swiped across the top, Cheng Yuan suddenly puffed up his chest. A white flower exploded under the water, spreading bit by bit until it disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Yuan leaned in Sokel's arms and breathed softly. After a while, he turned sideways, reached back with one hand, and held the thing that had been showing off for a long time.
Thorkel sighed comfortably and narrowed his eyes at Cheng Yuan's side face. Cheng Yuan lowered his eyes, his cheeks were slightly red, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. Every time he saw Cheng Yuan's obedient appearance, Thorkel felt as if a cat was sweeping his heart with the tip of its tail, a little itchy and sore. Thorkel stretched out his hand and lingered on Cheng Yuan's hip. Cheng Yuan did not respond or say anything, as if he was concentrating on the movements of his hand. In the end, Thorkel didn't really reach out to that secret place.
When we came out again, the water was completely cold. Thorkel wrapped Cheng Yuan in a large cloth that could be used as a bath towel and insisted on carrying him back to bed.
Cheng Yuan buried himself under the quilt, leaving only one pair of eyes to watch Sokel clean up the mess.
He knew that he had wronged Thorkell, but this orc, who was ten years younger than him, never complained a word from beginning to end.
Chapter 9 Arena
Cheng Yuan was woken up by Sokel again the next day. Facing Thorkel who stubbornly held on to his clothes, Cheng Yuan could only helplessly stretch out his arms and was helped to put on his clothes again.
Today is no longer like the clear sky yesterday. The sun hangs brightly in the sky. The clouds are so thick that you can lie down and roll on them. Cheng Yuan licked the big tiger's ears and asked him if the clouds looked like squirrels. , Does that cloud look like a little tiger...
Thorkel was so itchy that he couldn't help but twitch his ears. "Yeah, like."
Cheng Yuan feigned anger and knocked the tiger's head, "You didn't look up."
Thorkel turned his head with difficulty and licked him, "You said it was, it must be."
To Cheng Yuan's surprise Unexpectedly, the gathering today was more lively than the day before. There were more tall orcs on the street, and Cheng Yuan, who was 1.8 meters tall, looked extremely small among the group of two-meter-plus men. Thorkel knelt down, let Cheng Yuan sit on his arms, and picked him up like a child.
"This...isn't good." Cheng Yuan shrank awkwardly. He was not used to being held in front of so many people.
"This is how all orcs hold their females," Thorkel explained.
Cheng Yuan looked around and found that there were indeed many orcs who would hold their females like this in order to prevent their sight from being blocked.
Just the scene of a group of men being held by a group of taller men gave Cheng Yuan a huge visual impact for a moment.
After walking around for a while, Cheng Yuan discovered that Thorkel was relatively short among the orcs. The orcs of the bear tribe were generally over two meters tall, which was half a head taller than Thorkel, who was more than 1.9 meters tall.
"Those orcs are so tall." Cheng Yuan sighed. He was quite tall in his original world, but here he could only look at people with his neck raised.
Thorkel turned his head when he heard the words and said seriously, "I will still grow taller."
Cheng Yuan's eyebrows curved when he heard this, "Well, I will grow very tall."
Thorkel said nothing. He felt that Cheng Yuan seemed to be a teacher. I treated him for too long and thought of him as one of those kids.
The two of them first went to Simeng's stall to give gifts of thanks for yesterday's help. According to Thorkel, what Simeng lacked most was gems.
The most useless things in this world are gems that can only be seen but not eaten.
"What does he want the gems for, for decoration?" Cheng Yuan asked.
"Well," Thorkel nodded, "Fox tribe likes gorgeous things. Simon, likes low-key gorgeous things."
Therefore, the quality of the gems must be higher,
Cheng Yuan understood, the legendary low-key luxury.
With a look of disgust on his face, Simon dropped a few small dark black stones on his hands, and did not forget to laugh at Thorkel with words such as "I can't protect myself as a female" and "That gangster even touched his face with his hands." Thorkel, who was usually immune to Simeng, became more and more gloomy this time. Cheng Yuan quickly tugged on his clothes to express that it was really not that serious.
After standing here for a while, Cheng Yuan realized how powerful Simon was. During this short chat, several people came over to ask Simon to buy things, and it sounded like they had ordered things before. Simon was not polite, he handed over the money and delivered the goods with an impatient look on his face, without any intention of greeting the guests. It's just that that face is really good-looking, and even the way he waves his hands impatiently makes him irritating.
"I can't take advantage of you even if I take your broken stone. Tell me what you want. I collected a fan and a pottery vase two days ago." He pointed at the two exquisite-looking objects on the stall. little thing.
"Hmm..." Cheng Yuan thought for a while, and realized that he really wanted something, "I don't need these. Do you have any small weapons that you can carry with you? The kind that can be tied to your wrist and shoot arrows."
He had seen bows and arrows in the tribe, but he gave up because the bows and arrows were too heavy to carry. But seeing how powerful Simon is, he might actually be able to create a wrist-mounted crossbow.
After hearing this, Simon understood. He looked at him with pity and took out a wooden object from the big cloth bag next to him. "What you want is a mechanical crossbow. I don't know its name. Thorkel, which poor ravine did you pick this person up from?"
Cheng Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the world would still call this thing a crossbow. I was also worried that if I told Simon that I didn't know, I would be regarded as uneducated this time.
Thorkel ignored him, picked up Cheng Yuan and turned around to leave. Cheng Yuan had no choice but to turn around and thank him.
When I walked to the middle of the street, I saw that the place that was an open space yesterday was surrounded by a rope. There was a shelf in the middle with a piece of dark blue cloth hung on it.
Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up.
Most of the cloth here is rough, which is fine for daily wear, but he still lacks a pair of pajamas. Having been accustomed to soft fabric pajamas since he was a child, his sleep quality once deteriorated after he came here. Later, he simply compromised and only wore the only intact underwear he had when he came into this world to sleep. But the weather is getting cooler day by day, and Cheng Yuan also wants to buy himself some close-fitting clothes.
Cheng Yuan patted Thorkel and asked him to put him down. He walked to an uncle next to the clothes rack and asked, "Excuse me, how do you sell this piece of material?"
The uncle turned his head and saw that it was a female. He smiled and said, "Why, you don't You know? This is not for selling, it is for fighting in the ring. If you win, the prize will be yours. "
Fighting in the ring... Cheng Yuan felt disappointed. There was absolutely no way he would be able to compete in a martial arts competition, so it seemed he could only try his luck again.
"Want it?" Thorkel came over and asked after rarely seeing Cheng Yuan want something.
"Fortunately..." After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he felt that his answer was like asking for something in a roundabout way, so he hurriedly explained, "You don't necessarily need this, you can see where it is sold."
"This is not good. "What?" Thorkel was puzzled.
"But this isn't for sale. It's for competition."
"Yeah. Fighting." Thorkel frowned. A qualified orc will not be afraid of the challenge of force.
Cheng Yuan thought for a while before he understood what Thorkel was expressing in these two short words.
Although he always heard people in the tribe say that Thorkel was an outstanding warrior, he was still a little worried. Those bear orcs are much stronger than Thorkel, so even if they win, what will happen if they get injured?
But Cheng Yuan couldn't say these words. The orcs have a strong sense of pride and competitiveness in this regard, which can be seen from Thorkell's previous words. Cheng Yuan could only pretend to be in agreement and must not show any doubts about Thorkel's abilities.
As the sun rose, someone banged the drums beside the ring. It is said to be a ring, but it is really a ring. One person goes up, someone else challenges him, and the one who stays on top in the end is the winner.
This kind of competition rules may be unfair to the first contestants, but the aggressive orcs never care about this. In their world, they can only win and win again until they defeat everyone.
As for those who want to let others take advantage of them first and reap the benefits in the end, they don't care about the rules of the game. The people's saliva and abuse are enough to make them unable to hold their heads up. The real warriors have already jumped into the ring and invited people to fight.
The first one to take the stage was a bear orc. Cheng Yuan felt that although that man was very big, he only had brute strength. The orc walked confidently on the stage to show off his muscles, but was teased by a fox orc who was an unknown number of years younger than him, causing him to fall to the ground twice.
The bear orc seemed unconvinced and said, "Come again." The little brother from the fox clan raised his peach blossom eyes with disdain.
The audience booed gradually, and the bear orc was once again pushed to the ground and left the stage with a red face.
The little brother from the Fox tribe glanced sideways at the audience, and before he could speak, an orc from the Leopard tribe jumped onto the stage. The Leopard Clan is good at speed, and the Fox Clan is good at cunning, so these fists and kicks are quite impressive. However, this little brother from the fox clan was not as strong as others. He was knocked down by the leopard clan during a kick. He stood up, flicked his robe, turned around and left.
"I'm going." Thorkel said to Cheng Yuan.
"Well, be careful." Cheng Yuan warned.
Thorkel walked over and climbed onto the stage, and there were cheers and cheers immediately from the audience. Cheng Yuan looked around and found many familiar faces.
When the leopard orc saw Thorkell, his expression dimmed, and he was obviously acquainted with him. Thorkel didn't say much, just gave a signal and then took action directly. The leopard tribe orc was not one to be entangled either. After being pushed to the ground once, he stepped down gracefully.
Cheng Yuan had only heard people say that Thorkel was very powerful, but he had never seen him actually compete with others. After Thorkel overthrew the fourth challenger, Cheng Yuan was shocked to realize that Thorkel seemed... really powerful.
However, Thorkel was only "pretty powerful", not "super powerful", and he began to feel powerless after provoking the fourth person. While Cheng Yuan was worried, the fifth person entered the ring.
Maybe there really is something called "aura" in the world. As soon as this person came up, Cheng Yuan felt that he was much stronger than the previous ones. This man wore the same clothes as ordinary people, but his figure was exceptionally slender, his skin color was a healthy brown, and he seemed to be flowing with light when facing the sun.
Thorkel stood still and signaled that he could start, but the man folded his arms and refused to do it.
"How many games have you played?" the man raised his head and asked.
"Four games."
"That's good. I won't take advantage of you. Whoever comes here will fight me first, and after four games, I will compete with you." After saying that, he stood in front of the stage and glanced down, his tone frivolous, " Come on, who can come up and make up the count?"
These words were really irritating, but to Ling Chengyuan's surprise, no one in the audience was willing to come up.
"This man..."
"This man is the 'First Warrior' of the Leopard Clan, his name is Luo Xiao." A voice suddenly sounded next to him, startling Cheng Yuan.
Seeing Cheng Yuan turning his head to look at him in surprise, Simeng rolled his eyes, "I've been standing next to you for a long time, and you didn't see me?"
"Sorry," Cheng Yuan lowered his head and smiled sheepishly, "I didn't pay attention. "
Sokel didn't care about the four people on the stage. Seeing that Luo Xiao had made up his mind, he resigned and returned to Cheng Yuan.
"How are you? Are you not injured?" Cheng Yuan asked hurriedly. He saw that those people were not easy to attack.
"Small injury." Thorkel is not a peerless master, and the others are not just rookies either. A couple of blows are inevitable.
Si Meng couldn't bear to look down at him and tutted, "It's different when you're in a relationship. Look how squeamish you are. Is that considered an injury?"
Thorkel ignored him and reached out to push Cheng Yuan's hair away from his forehead. Cheng Yuan originally had bangs, but in the past few days they have grown so long that they started to block his eyes.
As he was talking here, someone finally came up to challenge him in the arena over there. Luo Xiao's reputation as the "Number One Warrior" was well-deserved. In less than three minutes, the man was thrown off the stage by Luo Xiao's clever move, losing all face. Ron raised his voice on the stage, "Next one."
"Kid." Simon sneered when he saw this.
"Kid?" Cheng Yuan turned around and asked, "How old is he?"
"Seventeen, right?" Simeng yawned lazily.
Seventeen, that is indeed still a child, but here, it is not uncommon for orcs to be paired up at the age of seventeen.
"Tell me, how old are you, Simon?" He called others a brat, but Simon looked very young.
"Twenty-five." Thorkel said first, then paused and added, "We haven't paired up yet."
When Simon heard the second part of the sentence, he immediately exploded, "I have a high vision!"
Thorkel couldn't see it. Didn't look at him.
"It's nothing," Cheng Yuan comforted, "I'm almost thirty."
This time it was Simeng's turn to look shocked, "You're already thirty?!"
"Um...yeah." Cheng Yuan was looked at by him. of embarrassment. The fact that he was ten years older than Thorkel always made him embarrassed.
Thorkel frowned when he heard this, "Thirty?" He only knew that Cheng Yuan was not young, but he didn't expect that he was so old.
Cheng Yuan's face, which was already a little red, turned red completely, and he nodded bravely.
"Why is this look..." Cheng Yuan was frightened by Thorkel's gaze. Could it be that he felt cheated?
"It's okay. I'll support you." Thorkel patted his head. The best fertile period for females is when they are twenty years old. It is more difficult to have babies at thirty years old. But he will try.
Cheng Yuan had no idea that Thorkel had already labeled him as having "difficulty having a baby" in his heart, and felt that his confession was meaningless. Several people were talking here, and Luo Xiao over there also neatly solved the fourth "make-up" and was greeting Thorkel.
"Be careful." After watching a few games in the ring, Cheng Yuan also understood that there were no clear rules for winning or losing in the ring, but no one would be seriously injured. Normally, they would automatically step down if they knew they were not good enough, but he still couldn't help but warn him.
Thorkel nodded, turned around and was about to go on stage, but saw Luo Xiao already standing off the stage.
There was silence for a second. The atmosphere suddenly became more heated, with many orcs shouting loudly. Cheng Yuan didn't understand what was going on. Simon looked at him with a puzzled expression and opened his mouth to explain.
"This is to use the beast form to attack."
Sure enough, the next second, both of them transformed.
Seeing Luo Xiao's animal form, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed, "So beautiful!"
He saw a black panther standing in the center of the field. He was completely black except for his abdomen, and his eyes were the color of honey with black pupils. It shrank into a flat core shape, its four claws gripped the ground, and its body leaned back. The smooth fur seemed to be covered with oil and slowly flowing under the sunlight.
Luo Xiao didn't move, and neither did Thorkel. A leopard and a tiger faced each other, but no one dared to urge them. Finally, the still young Luo Xiaoxian couldn't control his temper and suddenly jumped out and pounced on Sokel. Thorkel also kept a close eye on Luo Xiao's movements and refused to relax for a moment. He moved sideways to avoid and immediately counterattacked. Luo Xiao's reaction was not slow, and he did not let Thorkel succeed, and immediately launched a counterattack.
Cheng Yuan was on the side and felt that the nails of the two of them that were usually kept away looked particularly sharp today, and their interactions were shocking. Cheng Yuan finally understood why the enclosed area was so much larger than the ring. With two beasts fighting like this, how could they perform in such a small space?
The rhythm of the two suddenly accelerated, and for a while, the venue was filled with dust. Cheng Yuan hurriedly fanned the dust in front of him, his eyes widening as he was afraid of missing a minute.
"Don't worry," Simon narrowed his eyes and waved his hand in disgust, "We can't lose. That brat is still young."
"Isn't he the 'First Warrior'?" Cheng Yuan didn't understand. Luo Xiao is the number one warrior, but Thorkel's "best hunter" can be followed by "one".
"There is such a title, but force is only a standard."
"What about the other standards?"
"Well..." Simeng raised his eyebrows, "Looks, knowledge, and... his beast father is the leader of the Leopard Clan. ."
Cheng Yuan was speechless for a moment. It turns out that this "first warrior" also has a certain amount of "moisture".
Even so, this Luo Xiao is a powerful character after all, and he is inseparable from Thorkel. When Sokel was teaching two students, Cheng Yuan also listened in a lot. Coupled with Simon's explanations from time to time, he could also see some tricks at this time.
Perhaps due to his racial advantage, Luo Xiao is very fast and has extremely sharp reactions, but he seems to be not experienced enough and often makes mistakes, but most of his mistakes are made up for by his speed.
Thorkel, on the other hand, is more steady than him, keeping up with Luo Xiao's rhythm while trying to catch the opponent's various mistakes.
Suddenly, Luo Xiao jumped into the air as if to take advantage of the opportunity, but Thorkel caught the opportunity, rolled away, and then violently overturned the opponent before he landed firmly on the ground. Luo Xiao was startled and was about to turn over. Unexpectedly, Thorkel's speed was even faster. He stepped on his snow-white abdomen with a claw, but his sharp teeth were already pressed against the black panther's neck.
The outcome has been decided.
Thorkel slowly let go, took two steps back and returned to his human form. The Black Panther stood up reluctantly, changed his shape, and shook off the ashes on his body, "You win!"
Thorkel did not respond, turned around and returned to the stage. The crowd cheered, but he didn't let up. According to the rules, others can still challenge him.
But this is a hearty competition after all. Even if someone is eager to try, they don't have the nerve to take advantage of others at this time. For a while, no one came on stage again, and the person in charge immediately announced that the challenger had been born.
The old man from before came on stage with a smile and handed the folded fabric to Thorkel. Originally, the winner was supposed to show off the prize, but Thorkel had no intention of cooperating, so he took the thing and turned around and left the stage.
"It's amazing." Cheng Yuan took the cloth and didn't forget to praise it.
Thorkel shook his head. This arena was just a fun activity for the rally, not real. "Why do you want this?" He didn't see Cheng Yuanduo like shopping for clothes. A few days ago, a female asked him to pick out materials, but he just kept company and didn't choose anything.
"Oh, I want to make a pajama." Cheng Yuan explained, "I just wear it when sleeping. This material is more comfortable."
Thorkel was silent for a second, "No." How could he feel the softness while wearing clothes? Soft little female.
"Why?" Thorkel refused to listen. "Is it useful to you? Just take it."
Since you have this kind of fabric, you can find someone who made it and find a way to buy another piece.
"No pajamas." Thorkel said firmly.
Cheng Yuan wondered, what grudge did Thorkel have against Pajamas?
Simeng on the side couldn't listen anymore and cursed, "Rogue!"
Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to understand, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, the people in the audience had begun to disperse, but Luo Xiao, a boy from the Leopard tribe, ran over and said, "Hey! I know your name. Your name is Sokel, isn't it? Why did you reject my challenge?"
Last time After Thorkel defeated him, he went back and practiced hard for a long time. After that, he invited many times to fight, but Thorkel rejected them all. I finally met him in the ring this time. I thought I could win a big victory, but I didn't expect that Thorkel was superior.
Thorkel didn't want to pay attention to him, but Cheng Yuan thought it was rude and tugged on his sleeve.
"It's not necessary." Thorkel received a signal from Cheng Yuan and explained in three words.
"That's not necessary?" The boy's self-esteem was obviously violated, "Then why did you come to the ring again this time?"
The ring at the rally was originally to give the orcs a chance to express themselves, and then win the favor of females. According to Thorkel's character, if Cheng Yuan hadn't wanted this piece of cloth, he would not have participated at all.
"To coax him into being a female," the Smondite replied.
Only then did Luo Xiangxiang notice Cheng Yuan, who had been standing aside for a long time, looking at Cheng Yuan carefully. Cheng Yuan also smiled back as a greeting.
"Forget it, this time I am not as good as others. I will definitely defeat you next time!" This boy from the Leopard clan looked conceited, but he didn't expect that he had a free and easy temper. I'm not upset if I lose the game, I just put down my words and fight again.
"Come on!" Cheng Yuan smiled encouragingly. Thorkel picked him up and turned around to leave.
A young man's cry came from behind, "I will defeat you!"
Simon waved his hands impatiently, said goodbye to the two of them, and left. Cheng Yuan held the cloth and sat on Sokel's arms. At this time, more people were looking at them than before. Cheng Yuan patted Sokel's arm and said, "Put me down." Those curious eyes made He was very awkward.
"No pajamas." Thorkel insisted.
"Okay, okay, don't do it." With Sokel trying to stop him in every possible way, Cheng Yuan probably wouldn't have the chance to wear the pajamas even if they were made. Thorkel "blackmailed" Cheng Yuan for the first time, but he didn't expect it was for such a thing.
Thorkel was then satisfied and put the man down.
In the end, Cheng Yuan didn't get the pajamas he longed for. The piece of fabric was made into a thin jacket, reserved for close-fitting wear in winter.
Chapter 10 Leap Festival (1)
When the first fallen leaves bid farewell to the branches, the Leap Festival officially begins.
At the opening ceremony held early in the morning, Ling Rou was undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence.
The chief stood on the highest step of the square with a solemn expression and asked in front of all the tribesmen, "Lingrou, have you decided?"
"Yes," Lingrou's eyes were firm, "I am determined to participate in the Ascension Festival. Pass the test and gain the right to pair up."
The chief nodded in agreement, then faced the crowd and raised his arms, "All children! Today is the time for you to become a real orc, to gain dignity! Strength, you must go all out and not be afraid of any difficulties. The beast god will protect every strong warrior, whether he is an orc or a female.
" Go and show your abilities!" Protect our people from generation to generation!"
Cheng Yuan stood in the crowd and looked at the children in the field with mixed feelings. Especially for Lingrou and Yellen, one of them was a female and the other was thin. Taking part in such a test really worried him.
"Don't worry," Thorkel saw Cheng Yuan's nervousness and hugged him, "They are very good."
"Well, I believe in them." Cheng Yuan raised his head and smiled at Thorkel.
The content of the mission this time was to go through the relatively safe forest outside the tribe, go deep into the jungle to hunt a beast and bring back the iconic part. Hunting targets are limited to a few powerful beasts with far-reaching habitats. Even adult orcs would choose to avoid these beasts when they see them hunting alone. The difficulty of the task can be imagined. In order to reduce casualties and ensure the rationality of the task, the tribe requires two people to form a team and hunt one.
After hearing the content of the mission, the little orcs immediately organized a team. Those orcs who usually performed very well were particularly popular for a while, and those who were not strong had no choice but to sharpen their heads and try to team up with them.
The little orcs set off in groups in a lively manner, but Ye Lun and Ling Rou's place was particularly deserted. The two people's eyes met unexpectedly, and Yellen coughed to hide her embarrassment, "Otherwise... I will reluctantly join your team."
Lingrou glanced at him, walked towards the dense forest, and turned around to see Yellen. He stood there dumbly and said in a cold voice, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Ahem, here we come." Yellen responded. He thought that Ling Rou was going to act alone. In that case, he would really be alone...
As soon as the little orcs entered the forest, they immediately became alert. The two of them leaned closely together and tightened their nerves, not letting go of any disturbance. But as time went on, he gradually relaxed, and in the end he could barely maintain a posture, but he was no longer as focused as he was at the beginning.
When Ling Rou first entered the forest, she also clenched the dagger in her hand. Seeing his wary look, Yellen waved her hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. This is still a safe zone. There are no wild animals."
Ling Rou thought about it and felt that it was right. If your nerves are too tight, it will be detrimental to the future, so you should relax yourself appropriately, but it is inevitable to be nervous.
The two of them were not as careful as other orcs at the outskirts of the jungle, but instead passed through the safe zone as quickly as possible.
As the two of them went deeper, there were gradually more animal traces in the forest. Not to mention the common hares, there were two or three deer alone.
In order to save time and energy, the two originally did not want to deal with these non-dangerous animals, but when they encountered the fourth herd of deer, Yellen changed his mind.
"How about we hunt a deer?"
Lingrou glanced at him and said in a disgusted tone, "Are you hungry?"
"Hum," Yellen pouted, "I was thinking that maybe we could use a deer as bait. "
"Bait..." Lingrou thought.
In this mission, even the strongest little orcs dare not say that they can capture it easily. For this pair of brothers and sisters, they must outsmart them. It would be better if a frontal collision could really be avoided.
It's just...
"This is still far away from the target's activity area. If we start now, wouldn't it be an extra drag?"
Yellen nodded, "That's the truth, but if we go further inside, can we find something that is easy to capture?" It's hard to say what the prey is. The situation inside is complicated. Neither you nor I have ever been inside. It's better to catch one now instead of carrying a whole head and just take a piece of meat."
Ling Rou thought for a moment after hearing this . , felt it made sense, and nodded in agreement.
At this time, the two of them were far away from the deer, which was suitable for an ambush. Although Yellen's coat color is not conducive to concealing himself, the wild deer's extremely poor eyesight makes up for this. As it happens, there are no monkeys that always act with the deer, acting as scouts.
After the two discussed it, Lingrou sneaked quietly and climbed up a tree near the deer herd. Yellen transformed into an animal shape and quietly approached the deer.
When he was still more than ten meters away from the deer, Yellen's white fur still exposed his traces. After spotting a vague white unknown figure, a wild deer stared closely at Yellen while stamping hard on the ground.
The alarm was sounded, and the deer panicked and immediately started running. Yellen's reaction was not to give in. He charged up and jumped to close the distance of nearly ten meters. The wild deer was running wildly, and it seemed that there was no possibility of catching up. However, Yellen was not worried. He had already found his target.
A young deer in the herd was gradually unable to keep up with the speed of the herd due to inexperience and fright. When Yellen was about to approach it, he suddenly changed direction. The herd was immediately dispersed by him, and the little deer deviated from the main group. Without the care of his parents, the fawn had no choice but to run in one direction desperately, and the speed was not slow for a while. Yellen did not use all her strength, she just fell tightly behind it and kept adjusting its direction.
Close, very close!
Ling Rou stared at the deer that had fallen into the trap, and jumped down at the right time. The frightened deer was frightened by the sudden weight on its back, and struggled instinctively. However, at this time, Ling Rou Rou's dagger was firmly inserted into its neck.
Blood splattered everywhere.
After a final leap of inertia, the fawn fell to its knees, its hind legs still twitching nervously. After Lingrou confirmed that the deer was dead, she collapsed on the grass and kept breathing heavily.
Yellen rushed over, turned into a human and walked to Lingrou. Seeing that his face was pale, he asked awkwardly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay." Lingrou replied.
If it was just to hunt a deer, Ling Rou would not be needed at all. Yellen alone would be enough to hunt a fawn. Yellen's intention in making this arrangement is still for Ling Rou.
Even though he was thin compared to other little orcs, he had gone hunting with his beast father, killed, and felt the fragile neck of the prey breaking in his mouth. But Lingrou, I'm afraid he has never even killed a chicken.
Such a female, no matter how powerful she is, would probably hesitate when actually hunting her.
In front of ferocious prey, any hesitation may lead to death.
Lingrou's strong psychological quality quickly overcame the impact of the blood. The two of them quickly cut off one of the deer's hind legs, and Yellen almost ate the rest.
Seeing the big white tiger chewing profusely, Ling Rou mocked, "Aren't you hungry?"
Yellen rubbed his mouth in the grass obsessively, and then responded slowly, "Don't waste food."
He knew, Ling Rou was deliberately relaxing the atmosphere.
The further you go, the dangers multiply. The two of them didn't dare to be too bold. Yellen kept his animal shape and moved forward with Ling Rou to prevent accidents.
There was silence everywhere, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves was particularly loud here. The two stopped talking and walked forward in silence.
The power of the King of Beasts obviously shocked the animals here, and most of the creatures that found the two of them chose to avoid or go around.
However, there are exceptions.
After all, Yellen was inexperienced and accidentally broke into the territory of a leopard. When the leopard saw this man and the tiger, it immediately became alert, arched its back, stared angrily, and let out a low roar.
Ling Rou instantly clenched the dagger in her hand and mustered up the courage to look back. The two of them were not sure of escaping unscathed, and they were unwilling to list the leopard as a hunting target. It was best to avoid nature.
Facing such a powerful species, if you rashly lower your stance, you may be regarded as a weak creature by the opponent and be pursued. Yellen caught the leopard's gaze, tried to keep her voice steady, and sent a friendly message to the other party. Then he whispered to Ling Rou, "Get on my back."
If she really wanted to escape, Ling Rou's speed was obviously not enough.
Things still took a turn for the worst.
Perhaps Lingrou's movement of climbing on Yellen's back angered the leopard, and the leopard rushed forward suddenly. Yellen made a quick decision and ran in the direction Lingrou told him.
Leopards are known for their speed, and the young Yellen is not his opponent yet. He can only run as hard as he can and subconsciously follow Ling Rou's instructions.
"Next tree, turn right and jump!"
Yellen suddenly speeded up and turned again, making a leap without even thinking about it. The Leopard behind him completely failed to keep up with the rhythm and was half a step behind Yellen.
Just half a step away.
It was a large ditch that was not wide but very deep. Yellen could just jump over it, but because the leopard didn't notice it at the time, it took off when it was half a step into the ditch, and fell into the ditch all of a sudden.
Yellen ran a long way before he dared to stop. Lingrou immediately jumped off Yellen's back and asked him if he was hurt.
"It's okay." Yellen shook his body. Such a tossing consumed a lot of his energy.
The deer leg that was originally intended to be used as bait was thrown out by Lingrou to distract the leopard while being chased.
The author has something to say: Well, let's put a part first. The Ascension Festival will probably be written in two chapters.
