122. Contradictions and conflicts


In the days since I left old Kuru, I felt like Kuz was like a dry sponge thrown into a basin of water, he was sucking in the water from the outside world at a terrifying speed, and he was growing rapidly.In the past, he felt more like a big child, but now he sat firmly on the neck of the Yagui beast, took the female orcs of the Raitu tribe to hunt enough food in the northern foothills of the wasteland, and crossed the Yelian Mountains, and methodically led them towards Gurudin, no matter how anxious he was at the moment, it never showed it on his face, he began to mature more and more, the strange fourteen-year-old orcs, in the season of spring and summer, can participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, Kuzi is about to become an adult.He sat down beside me, lowered his head and poked a slightly longer branch under the stove to straighten the somewhat crooked fire-gathering scroll.Caterina crouched on the edge of the iron pot and added water to it, perhaps because Zig had changed the recipe for the moonlight ink, and the flames of the Gathering Fire scroll became even hotter, making a sizzling sound when the water was poured over the edge of the pot.This pot is not very big, and if you cook soup, it can only fill a dozen bowls.The orcs sat around the stove, quietly waiting for a bowl of soup.These days, the orcs of the Laitu tribe have long been accustomed to using the magic scroll to cook soup, they wait quietly, and the orcs sitting in front of them will take out some of their cooked jerky in advance, cut it into diced meat with a knife, and put it in the soup pot, and pile up the washed wild vegetables on the side, just wait for the soup pot to open and put it in, and a pot of delicious beef and wild vegetable soup will be made.Even when he was in Yelian Mountain, in order to replenish enough nutrition, Kuzi divided the orcs into groups of ten, and they had to collect wild vegetables after camping and before dinner and put them in a pot of beef soup.They eat as much meat as they put in and as many wild vegetables as they put in them.The jerky on everyone's back belongs to them, not the pure tribal cauldron rice, and every time it is time to eat, the great leader of Raitu gathers the food on all the orcs and distributes it uniformly.In this way, the beast girls who have been starving begin to know how to save, and slowly carefully calculate when their beef will be eaten, and when there are wild vegetables, they will pick as many wild vegetables as possible, they will think that if the wild vegetables are eaten, at least they can use beef for a few days, and their hearts will be much more solid when they carry the dried meat.In this way, even if they have crossed the steep Yelian Mountains, even if the place that can be climbed in the valley has been trampled by the hungry orcs, even if the wild vegetable roots are dug up and eaten, but there is always a dead end to take into account, the orcs will carefully look for each wild vegetable at this time, because they feel that as long as they dig out one more wild vegetable, they will save themselves a grain of jerky.In this way, all the way to the western wilderness, Gribaschen was surprised to find that the forty catties of meat on the back of the orcs had only eaten less than ten catties, and the old orcs were a little silent in Ye Lianshan, always bowing their heads all day and thinking about their thoughts.The chief, Raitu, would only get into the tent before it was dark every day, and work hard with his wives to have a son.Once, when the beast girls were bathing by the river, Raitu suddenly strode to the stream, picked up a well-proportioned, tight and delicate young beast girl and walked to his tent, at that moment, the beast girl was very startled, but after seeing that it was the tribal leader, he gritted his teeth and did not let himself shout, but in a panic his hands tightly hugged his chest, tried to bend his legs, closed his eyes, held his breath, and waited for the moment to come, you can see how flustered she is, I wanted to struggle and resist, but I didn't dare.The tribe has tribal rules, women are exchanged for demon antelope skins and livestock, the more beautiful the women, the more valuable, they are the private property of the orc warriors.When their men die, unless they choose to pay a large ransom to the tribe, they are the property of the tribe, and the beast girls of the Raitu tribe belong to Raitu, who was originally the wife of the tribal warrior, but now she has become an ordinary tribal woman.Raitu muttered as he walked with the young orc in his arms: "It seems that you eat a small pot of rice and eat all your hearts, are you afraid of me?"

You are all mine, after I eat you, I will taste the jerky on your back, there is such a big bag, you can really carry it!

When you were in the Northern Foothills Wasteland, how much jerky did you carry on your back?

Tsk, look at this body, well-proportioned and strong, I really can't imagine that the physical strength is not bad!

”Laitu's wives are carrying tents, in order to maintain the dignity of the leader of Laitu, so they can't carry too much jerky, along the way, they are reserved, they don't want to squat on the side of the road to dig wild vegetables, so that the jerky is consumed in large quantities, and they don't notice it at first, and when they find that the jerky is about to be eaten, they think of saving, but what's the use?

Actually, our Agui beast still had sacks of jerky on it, and even though Qige angrily claimed to tear my ears off, she couldn't replace them with the haemostat grass she had picked up.But he couldn't save face and begged us.The chief of the tribe always wanted to preserve his last dignity.In the end, he put his mind on those female orcs who are usually frugal, have a fairly rich backpack, and are not dragged down by orc children, and still need to be seen in appearance and figure.It stands to reason that these orcs are his property, and there is no reason for us to say anything about what he is going to do, but the problem is that he has broken the rules, which have just been established, very fragile rules.The purpose of this rule is actually very simple, which is to save as much jerky as possible.But once Raitu did this, he would exploit the beast girls below when he ran out of dried meat, so that who would be willing to save it, even if the meat he had worked so hard to save would end up in the belly of the leader.So, at this moment, I jumped out and stopped Raitu in his way, staring at his naked upper body with wide eyes, his strong bronze muscles containing a huge amount of primordial power, and when his gaze swept towards me, it was actually fierce.Raitu was hostile to the Terrans, which was why he was the leader of a small tribe who had drowned on the edge of the swamp of death at the prime of life.At that time, the eyes full of murderous intent really shocked me, originally I thought that we would at least save his life, I'm a little kid, block his way, he won't show his dissatisfaction, at least face to live!

Let's find an excuse to save the beast girl, and then let Kuz explain to him how it is possible to starve the tribal leader by giving him some jerky, not to mention that the food we brought is not insufficient.But the look in his eyes almost looked like he was going to trample me to death, at least that's how I felt at the time.Although in the end both Kuz and Gribaschen came forward to calm things down, but I began to find that as we slowly integrated into the tribe, what we were doing was clashing little by little with the tribal leader Raitu, a big conflict, although we felt that the truth was on our side, and the orcs became more and more convinced of us, and they had time and were more willing to help Qige collect medicine, but the dark clouds on Gribaschin's brow were getting heavier and heavier day by day, and his heart was like a mountain pressing on him.The chieftain, Raitu, became even less presence, and sometimes he omitted even the necessary daily rounds, and it was difficult to see him unless it was necessary to eat every day, and he always preferred to hide in his tent.We've been holding the Gathering Fire Scroll, so every day when we cook, we can get together, sometimes, I'm also secretly muttering to Qige, saying that it was originally a very happy thing, helping others, it feels very rewarding to do it, and it's a distant clan belonging to Kuru, and you can help if you can, but I don't know how to do it, the more I help, the more I feel uncomfortable, and it always seems that something is missing.Kig looked at me with a smile and said to me, biting my ear, did you see that group of orcs bathing naked, and they were spring at a young age.Hey, I can't say anything other than magic to Kige, three sentences can definitely get involved with me to women, I don't think Kige is like a big sister, more like a girl my age.Watching the orcs methodically cut the diced meat and skillfully throw their share into the soup pot, Caterina kept stirring on the side, the flame of the scroll was very sufficient, and after a while the soup pot was boiling open, the team of orcs hurriedly came up and put the prepared fresh wild vegetables into the soup pot, and with the continuous stirring of the wooden spoon, it turned into a cloud of turquoise in the soup pot.If it weren't for the wheat cakes that had already been eaten, we would have to take out half of the wheat cakes and break them into the soup pot, and with the fragrance wafting, the team of beast girls would fill their own bowl of soup and leave quickly, and the next team of beast girls quickly made up for it.There are many advantages to this, and it is always easy to count the number of people in the tribe every time you cook the soup.Sometimes, when the orcs on the run saw that our group was still well fed, someone would mix in with us and try to get a meal.We don't even say anything when we look at it, but when it's time to cook the soup, this group of mixed orcs will have no shield, they don't have a fixed team, they don't have dried meat and wild vegetables, they just want to eat together, but who has a superfluity.Mayana sat side by side from the wise man and the old orc Gribaschin, who nodded his head in praise with some surprise at the way we cooked the soup together.The wise man of Mayana is the old orc who gave the orc boy to distinguish between herbs and wild vegetables during the day, he is not an orc shaman with mana, he is indeed one of the few wise men in Guruding Town, the meaning of the wise man in the beast clan, is a knowledgeable person, and it also contains the meaning of inheriting the beast clan.After cooking twenty pots of wild vegetable broth in a row, the women and children belonging to our tribe were about to end their meal, and there was no attenuation of the flames on the scroll, so the wise man pointed to the scroll under the soup pot and asked the old orc Gribaschin: "Your department has always used magic scrolls to cook food?"

”The implicit meaning is very clear, that is, if you have such a luxurious magic scroll, even if you can buy food in Guruding Town to survive the famine, where do you need to venture to the northern foothills of the wasteland to hunt one-horned wolves?

Gribaschen did not hide anything, and told the wise man the cause of the incident from beginning to end.Both old orcs thought we were young human traders on their first trip to the wasteland, and the caravan was formed by a female magician, a female assassin, and a child who could wield a gun, and during the journey, they met and traveled with Kuz.The scrolls we use now belong to the female magician Qige, and the purpose of Qige coming to the wasteland is to buy some magic herbs.During this trip, we just happened to meet the Raitu tribe and rescued the orcs from the northern foothills.
