"What? You want to exchange hostages with my father?! Hush!"
The pig-human cub was shocked by Luya's thoughts. Sure enough, his mother kept telling him not to listen to humans. They are cunning and scheming. Once they talk to humans, they will fall into their trap... Sure enough, humans are so nasty!
"Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I will definitely cooperate with you all, huff."
So Piggy answered very nicely.
what! Since he had a chance to survive, of course he had to fight for it. Who told him that he was caught by the dragon, making him think he was going to die. He originally thought that these two humans would never let him go, and even fought for the dignity of the Pigs.
Now dignity is of course more important than life, he still wants to continue to eat delicious fruits and twigs of the devil flower.
"You are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and I appreciate you."
Luya looked at the piglet with satisfaction, and then tied it up with a dog leash with Lodin,
"Sister human! Don't worry, as long as I can go home safely, your friends will be able to return it to you, snort."
The piglet seemed to have a strong desire to survive, and very cooperatively wrote a letter on his own initiative, and pressed his hoofprint on it.
... Big sister of humanity, why is this title so annoying.
Lu Ya twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't bother with him. But she couldn't understand the characters of the pig people, so she looked at him suspiciously and said, "You didn't write anything you shouldn't have written, did you?"
"Of course not! Huchi! My life is in your hands, how dare I use my brain! Only humans can lie, Huchi!"
"It's better like this." Lu Ya stared at the piglet and threatened, "If I find out that you lied to me, I'll make you into a roast suckling pig."
"Don't dare to breathe!"
So Luya carefully put away the letter, and asked the pigman cub where their camp was and the composition of the tribe.
In fact, it is quite interesting, and it can be written as an anthropological paper. Although the pig people are not completely human, it is said that they evolved from pigs at first, and their habits are similar to humans. It is not sure whether they are reproductively isolated from other species. Piggy did not say anything, and Luya did not dare to ask.
... don't want to know at all!
But the pigmen are also a branch of the orcs, no matter what happens, it's not surprising.
Because of his greedy mouth, this piglet sneaked out of the camp after class, and went to the wetland where the flowers of the Demon Realm were blooming, trying to dig some wetland crabs to eat.
Then the red dragon caught him just as the hunt was passing by, and took him over.
Luya subconsciously glanced at the Shiba Inu at her feet.
... Lu Dahuang seemed to have had a similar experience on the first day, but because he was a dog and looked very cute, she was adopted by her.
"Let me think about it, in addition to releasing people, you also have to give me food and seeds."
Lu Ya looked at Piggy, thinking about what she could get, and said after thinking about it.
Piggy was very angry when he heard that, and could not help protesting, "What? You greedy woman! Whoosh!"
"You are the son of a rancher. Of course I want to blackmail you and extract the maximum value from you. I thought about it. I want a hundred catties of sugar, a hundred catties of rice, and a hundred catties of wheat flour and honey. If your father refuses to give it I'll make you into a suckling pig."
"..."
Piggy stared at Luya dumbfounded, and now he remembered what his mother had said to him.
Humans are so bad!
"Then Farus, please help me deliver a letter."
Lu Ya tied the letter to the red dragon's wingtips, looked at him cautiously and begged, "I have to watch this guy to prevent it from escaping while no one else is around. Uncle Luodin and Lu Dahuang might not be able to stop it , so I will trouble you."
The red dragon stared at Luya, it never refused Luya's request, of course it was the same this time, even though it thought it was just a trivial and troublesome matter.
"Well, if you wish."
It agreed very simply, and then flapped its dragon wings and flew out of the dragon's nest.
After Luya tied the pigman cub within her sight range, she asked the Shiba Inu to stare at him, and then she continued to discuss the situation of the Dragon's Nest with Lodin.
Soybeans have been planted in the field now, but the soybean harvest has taken too long. In fact, Lu Ya has no experience in planting, but fortunately, now there is a cook, Luo Ding, who is happy to take over the job.
Goblin has already built the outer wall of the house in the past few days. The materials obtained from the abandoned villa in the mountain are surprisingly good, but after the construction is completed, the walls need to be painted and wallpapered, but These things are not in a hurry, and the food problem still needs to be solved first.
After the red dragon flew away, Luodin, who had been afraid to ask, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Eve... Why is the dragon willing to help us? I find it incredible, it seems to listen to you very much..."
"Don't talk nonsense, how could the dragon listen to me?"
Lu Ya stopped Luodin from continuing, looked at him very seriously and said, "Your thinking is wrong now, the red dragon is willing to help me because he likes me, and to gain the trust of the red dragon, he must also wholeheartedly Trust him, only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.”
"You're right, maybe I should get my fear under control..."
Luo Ding sighed softly. Although the red dragon had never done anything to him, the terrible sense of coercion still made him dare not look at the dragon. People have a natural fear of giants, no matter how much they hint to themselves in their hearts, they still can't stop that instinct.
He doesn't know how Luya overcomes all this, which makes him feel very admirable.
Perhaps unconsciously, the timid and taciturn girl at that time had grown up.
When Red Dragon came back, Lu Ya was harvesting the grapes that had been dried before.
The grapes had been completely dried and smelled charming and sweet. She found a container with a lid and put all the raisins in it, preparing to use it as a winter sugar reserve.
And the goblins also collected a lot of fresh grapes. When Luya was considering whether to continue drying the raisins, Lodin was very excited, saying that these fully ripe fresh grapes could be used to make wine.
What a luxury to have a drink since the end of the day! Although the dragon has a lot of fine wines in stock, Lodin dare not touch that thing at all. To be precise, he dare not touch anything that belongs to the dragon.
Fortunately, he is very good at making wine. The wine sold in the restaurant he once opened was brewed barrel by barrel by himself.
After seeing the red dragon, Lu Ya hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and happily went up to meet it.
"Welcome back!"
She stared at the red dragon expectantly and asked, "How?"
"They agreed."
The red dragon stared at Luya calmly, and unloaded a wooden barrel hanging from his body, and told Luya, "This is a deposit of one hundred catties of honey."
"Okay, let me see!"
Luya was overjoyed, but when she opened the barrel, she found that there were complete beehives inside, and a lot of bees flew out, which scared her back a few steps.
"Didn't you say it was honey? Why did you give it a complete nest!"
"Shouldn't honey be eaten directly from the honeycomb? It's more nutritious if you eat it with the bees. Only you humans insist on taking out the honey and saving it. Puff, it's too weak."
The pig-human cub looked at Luya, his eyes full of contempt for humans.
"This is how to do ah."
Luya seemed to have a headache, Luo Ding hurried over, he carefully picked up a piece of honeycomb and looked at it, and said to Luya, "It's okay, the queen bee inside has already run away, there are not too many bees left, we wait After smoking it again, the honey can be harvested."
"That's great, I can't handle it at all."
Lu Ya couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, as expected, it would be much easier to have someone with rich life experience to help. If she was allowed to do these things by herself, she would not be willing to throw away the hive and would not be able to deal with the honey, and she would definitely be stung all over her head by the bees in the end.
"Can I have honey tonight?"
"Should be fine, I can make some apple jam with this honey."
Lodin hung the honeycombs on the pole one by one, and then started to get busy.
So Luya began to ask about the situation of the Red Dragon Pig Human Clan.
Red Dragon told Luya what he heard.
"'Although he is the eldest son of the rancher, he is not suitable as the heir of the ranch because of his stubbornness, frivolity and incompetence. We didn't want to use him to exchange so many resources, but we didn't want to expand the problem. Our territory... The meat man you want can be given to you, including the food you proposed. As for the idiot, there is no need to send it back, it is up to you to dispose of it.'... Why are you so ruthless? Although it is not as expected at the beginning Same, but at least it achieved the desired result... ”
Luya calmly relayed what the red dragon told her to the piggy, watching the piggy's face gradually turn from smug to livid, it seemed unbelievable, and screamed in shock.
"It's impossible! My father wouldn't treat me like this! I'm his own! Hush!"
"Who knows, maybe your father found out that you belonged to the old Wang next door..."
Just as Luya wanted to follow his words, she suddenly saw that the piglet's eyes were full of tears, almost crying.
"...Hey, do you want to do this?"
Lu Ya had a headache, and for some reason she felt that this guy was a bit pitiful, so she could only comfort Piggy and said, "It's okay, don't cry, we will send you away when the ranch releases our friends."
These words seemed to have broken Piggy's last line of defense, and he burst into tears with a "wow".
"Who cares! I'm not crying! They don't want me anymore! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa—I don't care! Kill or roast as you please! I'm dead! Whoop!"
He was so loud that he cried like he was slaughtering a pig. He choked up and said, "I don't believe it! My mother can't possibly not want me! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo human Sister, after you kill me and eat me, you must send my bones back, I want them to regret... Tell my parents that they killed me because of their inaction, huh... "
"Okay! We're not going to eat you!"
Lu Ya was so quarreled by him, she was too simple-minded, right? It's a pig man... She had to order this guy to shut up, "When our companions come back, you should hurry down the mountain and go wherever you like."
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to jump off the mountain and commit suicide!"
Piggy snotted his nose and burst into tears, crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, and was so excited that he seemed to be ready to jump off the cliff in the next second.
Lu Ya was also very surprised by this, the operation of the leader of the pig-human clan was unexpected, he was so ruthless that he directly gave up his son, is it because they have several sons in one birth are worthless
But after all, he is the eldest son, so if he said no, he would not, which really shocked Lu Ya. They are willing to hand over hostages and food mainly because they are afraid of the coercion of the red dragon.
No one is not smart enough to be an enemy of the Red Dragon, even the demon Grand Duke Gudis is willing to sell the Red Dragon face, let alone a pig-human rancher on a human ranch
He even didn't want his son to show his sincerity, but we will definitely satisfy your request, Mr. Long... For example, it's like the president inspecting the factory and saying that the canned food here is good. Can you give me one? Without further ado, I agree directly!
Damn, this pig-human cub seems to be too young, completely unaware of how cruel the world is...
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go back, stay here temporarily and work for me."
Luya pretended to be helpless and said, but when she made this suggestion, the piggy stopped crying immediately, stared at Luya with bright eyes and asked, "Really?"
He puffed up his chest angrily, breathing heavily, "Then I won't go back, my mother will definitely regret this decision, and she will definitely cry and have someone come to me and apologize to me! Hush !"
"I don't support idlers here. You have to be self-reliant and exchange your labor for food."
She rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking, isn't this just a wayward child who ran away from home
In fact, she didn't think that the rancher of the pig-human clan really didn't want this son. Most of them just told the red dragon, but she didn't expect this cub to be really angry...
... No, everyone would be angry if they changed.
"Okay, big lady human! I can do a lot of things. I have a very good nose. I can tell which wild mushrooms are useful, and I can find black truffles." Piggy said, patting his chest.
"That would be great."
Lu Ya saw so many fungus in Mt. Worry, and she didn't know which ones could be eaten. There were even a lot of fungus near the Dragon's Nest. Every time she saw it, she was a little greedy, but she didn't have the courage to try it.
If what this piglet said is true, let him try it out, and of course let him eat first.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Now that she was planning to keep him temporarily, Luya decided to ask how to address him. It seemed impolite to always call someone piggy.
"My name is Inu... No, I've cut off the past! Say goodbye to my past self! Puff!"
... Don't be too mediocre, this piglet is just like a human bear, a bit annoying.
"... You don't necessarily want me to call you piggy all the time, do you?"
"Whatever! You can call it whatever you want! Whoops!"
Piggy folded his arms angrily and turned away, ignoring Luya.
"Okay, the human elder sister will give you a name."
Lu Ya stared at him and announced, "Let's call it Pig Worm."
"up to you!"
Piggy ran away angrily.
The pig-human rancher agreed to send Matthew in three days, but for some reason, Luya always felt very anxious and could hardly sleep all night.
