Yin Cang looked away and stared at his chest stained with blood, as if trying to block out the words in his ears from his mind.
Looking at Yin Cang's stubborn look, Yin Gu shook his head helplessly.
He knows his own body well and knows that he doesn't have much time left.
"Cang, my only wish is that you can grow up safely. Only when you grow up can you fight against them, do you understand?"
"You have to live, you must live..."
Yin Gu repeated it over and over again. He knew Yin Cang had heard it. The voice continued until he was so weak that he fell asleep.
Yin Cang stood by silently, without a trace of fluctuation in his dark eyes.
I don’t know how long I slept when I heard footsteps outside the door.
"The chief asked me to bring them some food." Then came the female's voice.
Yin Cang immediately looked towards the door warily. Yin Gu beside him also woke up and patted the back of his hand, as if he was stroking the fur of a pet.
"It's a female from this tribe. Don't be so nervous..."
Yin Cang's beast-like eyes did not change at all, and he stared vigilantly at Lu Mian'er who walked in.
As soon as Lu Mian'er entered the room, she was frightened to see a pair of fierce eyes staring at her.
Upon closer inspection, I realized it was just a cub.
She breathed a sigh of relief and placed the meat and fruit beside the bed. "Are you starving? The chieftain asked me to bring you some food. Come eat it quickly."
He then wiped a large fruit clean with his own hands and handed it to Yin Cang as a sign of friendship.
Yin Cang just looked at her coldly, motionless.
"Ahem... Thank you. My brother is a loner and doesn't like to interact with orcs other than me. I'm sorry." Yin Gu explained weakly.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Mian'er quickly shook her head and looked at Yin Cang twice more.
The cub's eyes looked as fierce as Long Mo's.
She was very surprised how a cub could have such a fierce look.
"Thank the chief for me. The beasts in your tribe are all very kind. Thank you for taking them in." Yin Gu's grateful voice brought Lu Mian'er back to his senses.
"You're welcome. The chief said that you can stay here with peace of mind. Our tribe is safe." Lu Mian'er replied with a smile.
Yin Gu also smiled gently.
"It seems that your tribe... does not reject foreign orcs. This is the first time I have seen such a tribe." His voice was slightly puzzled and tentative.
"Of course, you don't know yet, right? Our tribe is a mixed tribe, with all kinds of orcs." Lu Mian'er explained kindly.
After hearing Lu Mian'er's explanation, Yin Gu felt much more at ease.
The mixed tribe is the only tribe that does not exclude outsiders. Although its strength is not as strong as other tribes, it may be the best choice for Yin Cang.
Lu Mian'er looked curious, "Have you been to many tribes?"
"Our tribe was attacked by a group of wolf orcs. I fled with my brother and came here. We met several tribes on the way, but..."
Yin Gu recounted his experiences along the way with a wry smile.
After hearing what Yin Gu said, Lu Mian'er showed an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you guys went through this."
"It's okay." Yin Gu shook his head and asked casually, "The female who saved me, is she a witch doctor?"
"Are you asking about Jiaojiao? She's not a witch doctor, but her medical skills were taught to her by the Beast God in a dream. Jiaojiao is very powerful, and you will get better."
When talking about Hu Jiaojiao, Lu Mian'er starts talking.
Ever since Hu Qinggao and a few others boasted everywhere that Hu Jiaojiao was a witch doctor, every orc in the tribe knew about it. Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to come out and clarify, putting the blame on the Beast God.
Now all the orcs in the tribe thought that the Beast God personally taught her medical skills.
Yin Gu lowered his eyes, thinking.
"Thanks to Jiaojiao for finding you and rescuing you. If it weren't for Jiaojiao, you would have been eaten by wild beasts."
"Jiaojiao is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is the lucky star of our tribe..."
Listening to Lu Mian'er's endless praise, Yin Gu's expression became more determined.
"Can I see her again?" he inquired.
"You want to see Jiaojiao?" Lu Mian'er stopped and saw that he looked sincere. She thought he just wanted to thank Hu Jiaojiao, so she nodded and said, "I can go and ask for your help."
"Thank you." Yin Gu thanked with a grateful look on his face.
Let him do one last thing for Yin Cang before he dies.
This is the only thing he can do now.
…
afternoon.
When Long Mo came back from hunting, Hu Jiaojiao was feeding the rabbits with fresh grass in the yard of the wooden house.
"Long Mo, you're back." Seeing Long Mo, Hu Jiaojiao put down the work in her hands and ran over to help him unload the prey.
"By the way, Long Mo, have you seen the meat I put in the kitchen? It seems that there are two pieces of meat missing."
Hu Jiaojiao's words made him pause.
But he answered without hesitation, "I didn't see it."
Hu Jiaojiao looked puzzled, "That's strange, I clearly remember putting it in the kitchen..."
"Maybe someone was hungry and ate it secretly." Long Mo passed the blame without blushing or beating his heart.
"Yeah, maybe Yao'er was the one who cheated." Hu Jiaojiao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Long Mo keenly smelled the scent of blood in the air, and suddenly grabbed Hu Jiaojiao's wrist and asked nervously, "Are you hurt?"
"No." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, not knowing why he suddenly said that.
Long Mo frowned, "You smell of blood."
Hu Jiaojiao lowered her head and sniffed her body, "Is there? I clearly washed it, why don't I smell it..."
How come this guy's nose is better than a dog's
"Today, we found two injured orcs outside the tribe. The chief brought them back, and I went to treat their wounds. I think the smell might have stuck to them."
She explained.
"Is it a male?" Long Mo asked with a dark face.
Fox Jiaojiao looked surprised, "How do you know, it's an adult male and a male cub."
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's answer, Long Mo's face became even gloomier.
He clenched his back teeth and said nothing.
Soon, I heard Hu Jiaojiao continue:
"But he was poisoned and probably won't live for a few days. He should be the cub's only relative. If he dies, the cub will be too pitiful..."
Long Mo raised his eyebrows. Is he dying
The face that had been gloomy just now suddenly became bright.
"Well, pitiful." He echoed Hu Jiaojiao's words with a happy tone.
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at him. How could she still hear happiness? It must be her illusion...
“Jiaojiao!”
Hearing someone calling her, Hu Jiaojiao turned around and found Lu Mian'er standing outside the yard.
Why did she come here at this time
"I'll go see what's wrong with Lu Mian'er." Hu Jiaojiao said to Long Mo, and then walked towards Lu Mian'er, "What's wrong?"
"Jiaojiao, the male you rescued seems to be called Yin Gu, and he wants to see you." Lu Mian'er conveyed Yin Gu's words.
Not far away, when Long Mo heard Yin Gu's name, a dark light flashed in his deep eyes, which were originally excited.
He quickly walked behind Hu Jiaojiao and asked in a deep voice, "The male you rescued is called Yin Gu?"
