Zhu Yuanyuan always felt that her second brother was not in a high mood recently, and even his sleeping posture was no longer so domineering.
"I used to be punched and kicked all the time, but these days I'm curled up in a ball, looking so pitiful. I don't know what's going on," she whispered in her eldest brother's ear.
He also glanced back at his second brother from time to time, in an unconcealed way.
Zhu Yongmeng found out, but he didn't jump to ask his brother and sister if they were talking bad about him. Instead, he turned his back to everyone and said, "Humph, I won't talk to you."
"You already said it," Zhu Yuanyuan pointed out straightforwardly.
Zhu Yong said angrily, "I'm not talking to you."
The two of them exchanged words with each other and soon started to quarrel.
Zhu Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. The second brother was still the same second brother and had not been transported. It was her fault that she was overly worried.
Zhu Qiang and Zhu Xiaofen were also polishing bone knives. They chose a relatively wide and flat beast bone and worked hard on it, not intending to participate in the open and secret fights between the cubs.
How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?
Just pinch it, as long as it doesn't make too much noise, they can pretend not to hear.
As the days passed, I thought that the second brother Zhu had picked it up in the woods and that was all.
Unexpectedly, the snow season has passed and spring has begun. Zhu Yongmeng suddenly announced solemnly, "I will find an uninhabited cave later and live independently from now on."
There are many abandoned caves in the tribe, most of which were left behind when the owner fell ill or died unexpectedly while hunting. Male orcs can choose to move into one if they want to live alone when they reach adulthood.
Zhu's father and mother-in-law were a little confused, "What? You are only ten years old and you want to be independent?"
"I'm eleven years old," Zhu Yongmeng corrected, he said solemnly, "I will always remember the kindness my father and mother gave me in raising me, and I will definitely provide for you when I become an adult and join the hunting team."
He turned around and told his sister, "You are already well-behaved, but you have to be more lively so that you can make your parents happy when you have nothing to do."
Finally, he said to his elder brother, "Thank you for taking care of me. You are a good elder brother."
Everyone listened stupidly, unable to realize what was going on.
Zhu Yuanyuan reached out to touch her second brother's forehead worriedly, "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?"
"I'm fine," Zhu Yongmeng's eyes were moist, and he was reluctant to pull away his sister's little hand. He explained sadly, "There are many children in the family, and my parents are too tired. I can't continue to drag you down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a small baggage and walked out, turning his head three times at a time.
While the others had not yet figured it out, Zhu Yuanyuan had some vague ideas. She howled angrily,
"Second brother, stop! It's wrong to run away from home."
runaway?
Zhu Qiang reacted immediately, chased after him fiercely, picked up Zhu Yong and shook him vigorously, "Good boy, you want to run away after saying so many weird things. I think you just want to be beaten!"
"Hit me, beat me hard," Zhu Xiaofen said angrily, "It's just a waste of time to talk about nonsense. I have important things to do today."
Zhu Yuanyuan was curious, "What's important?"
Zhu Xiaofen didn't have time to explain that she and her friend were playing a mixed doubles match, and the one who got beaten was Zhu Yongmeng who was delaying everyone's time.
"Stop fighting," Zhu Yongmeng yelled, "I know I'm not your biological child, so didn't I consciously say I wanted to leave!"
Zhu Qiang's attack became even more ruthless, "If you continue to act blindly, when did we say that you are not our biological child?"
"You bastard, you're making a scene at the beginning of spring," Zhu Xiaofen said in a stern tone, "If you miss your business, I won't starve you for a few days."
Zhu Yongyong looked a little unbearable, "Mom, my second brother knows that he was wrong. Don't be too harsh. What if he can't get out of bed?"
Zhu Qiang and Zhu Xiaofen looked at each other for a few moments, then stopped their movements and said, "I'll take care of you in a few days."
"Brother~" Zhu Yongmeng was so moved that he reluctantly ran to hug his thigh, "You are the only one who treats me well."
It's a pity that his move did not last long, because Zhu Yongyong still had something to say.
"We will all be very busy from now on, so we won't have time to take care of our second brother. Please be gentle and let him at least have good hands and feet to take care of himself."
"Brother!" Zhu Yongmeng was struck by lightning, his eyes filled with accusations, "How could you say such a thing? I'm so disappointed."
Zhu Yongyong said with a straight face, "You asked for it, and you don't want to think about what big things will happen in the tribe after the snow stops."
"I don't know," Zhu Yongmeng said with a grimace, "My head has been buzzing during this period. I always think about what my mother said I picked it up from the forest. How can I remember anything else."
"You're worth a beating," Zhu Yongyong shook his head helplessly, "The first time the snow stopped, the tribe was attacked by a group of peregrine falcons. Three tribesmen died in the battle, and they are still lying in the snow cave."
Zhu Yuanyuan noticed something was wrong, "Isn't there two?"
"Uncle Guo's injury was too serious. He didn't get better after half a month of treatment, so he left," Zhu Yongyong said in a serious tone.
Zhu Yuanyuan thought for a while, "Is it Uncle Guo who got a big fat male baby last year? Why haven't I heard you guys talk about it before?"
"It's him," Zhu Yongyong nodded, "I only found out when I ran into the clan leader when I went out to check the situation."
It turns out that I didn’t forget to tell you, but I just got the news.
Zhu Yuanyuan sighed secretly. The medical level in this world is too poor. For everyone, being able to save fifteen of the sixteen seriously injured clan members is pretty good.
By the way, she can go to the Great Witch to study. She has to work harder and strive to leave the army as soon as possible. There is a system mall. In such a situation, she can buy some good medicine and secretly give it to the injured. Maybe she can save all the seriously injured people. .
With good wishes in mind, Zhu Yuanyuan watched the whole process of her second brother being scolded by her father and mother.
The content of the reprimand revolved around the topic of 'is it a biological child or a picked one'? Because it was too complicated, she did not complain about it one by one.
Anyway, by the end of the matter, Brother Zhu realized that he was too stupid for taking Grandma's joke seriously.
"The snow outside hasn't melted yet, so it's not good for the cub to go out and walk around," Zhu Aniang said. "Xiao Meng will stay at home to play with his sister and reflect on it."
After the arrangements were made, Zhu Qiang and his wife took their eldest son and left.
Zhu Yongmeng, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, pursed his lips and said angrily, "Obviously my mother-in-law misled me with her nonsense, how come it's all my fault?"
"Second brother~" Zhu Yuanyuan sighed, "The cub is so precious, who would throw it into the forest and throw it away?"
Zhu Yongmeng fell silent.
He's not stupid, he just didn't think deeply. To put it bluntly, he is just an axis. He just believes whatever his mother-in-law says and his mind doesn't like to turn around.
Now that his sister woke him up, Brother Zhu wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself.
I'm so ashamed and angry!
"I'm sleepy," Zhu Yongmeng said, trying to calm down, "Sister, you should also take a rest and regain your energy. I have to send Uncle Guo and the others into the tomb at night."
Zhu Yuanyuan was stunned, "Where is the tomb? Why do you have to send it at night?"
"It's not far from here. You'll know it when you go there," Zhu Yong said wistfully. "Everyone who is over five years old and can walk has to go. It is the rule of the clan to send him off at night."
