Shiraishi's worries were not unreasonable. While sending Zhu Yuanyuan home, they met dozens of single males, all holding small gifts in their hands to play with each other, and all of them were enthusiastic.
Orcs believe that if you like something, you should say it out loud, but they don't know what it means to be reserved.
From being curious at first to becoming numb later, Zhu Yuanyuan no longer wanted to stay outside. She just wanted to go home early and close the door.
"Sleep well, don't worry," Shiraishi comforted in a low voice, "Just wait until tonight."
There are a lot of things going on in spring, everyone is busy with work, and there is not so much free time to chase the little female.
It wasn't that Zhu Yuanyuan didn't know, but there were too many people to deal with, and she wasn't happy about it. She might as well go home and rest early.
Thinking of this, she waved her hand to someone, "You should go back early, don't worry, I won't go out at night."
Zhu Yongyong snorted coldly, "It's okay to go out. Yuanyuan is still young. The more single males you meet, the better. You can choose one well."
Baishi tried his best to ignore the troublesome future brother-in-law, unloaded a small bamboo basket from his back and stuffed it into his sweetheart's hands, turned around and left quickly.
"Hey, what did he give you?" Zhu Yongyong was so curious that he stretched out his hand to grab it, but then he silently retracted his hand when he thought of his mother-in-law.
If A Niang knew that he did not go to find the little female, but deliberately stayed with his sister to cause havoc, he would be beaten lightly, and he might even be kicked out.
Ever since he became an adult, he has been constantly urged to find a partner, especially when the tribe held collective coming-of-age ceremonies, so he had to pay special attention.
Zhu Yuanyuan glared at her elder brother, "Close the door quickly, I'm afraid someone will come over later."
"Oh, shut it down immediately," Zhu Yongyong responded hurriedly.
The brother and sister entered the main room and found that everyone in the family was sitting around the firepit in the living room talking.
"Master," Zhu Yuanyuan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Hu Yin always said that he was too busy during the day and it would be better to rest after dinner at night. He was still up so late because he was afraid he had something to say.
"Well," Hu Yin said lightly, "sit down first."
Talking with your head raised is tiring and can easily lead to loss of momentum, so it is better to sit down.
Zhu Yuanyuan felt a little uneasy for no reason, so she obediently found a bench and sat down, "Master, just tell me if you have something to say!"
"Don't be nervous," Hu Yin said casually, "I want to go back to the Fox Clan for a visit. In the meantime, you can take my place temporarily."
"What?" Zhu Yuanyuan was shocked, "Why do you think you want to return to the Fox Clan?"
This is not a modern society. There are means of transportation such as planes and trains. Traveling far away is not only time-consuming, but also very dangerous. Few people travel far unless necessary, especially big witches.
"The Fox Clan sent someone to deliver the message to call back the fox orcs from nearby tribes," Hu Yin said.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't help but worry, "Could it be that I'm calling you back so that other tribes don't have great witches so that the Fox tribe can dominate the world?"
Everyone was speechless, and it took a long time before they heard Zhu Yongmeng complain, "Sister, what have you been thinking about all day? With the beast-shaped fighting power of the fox orc, why should you be the boss? With hundreds of great witches?"
His words are true, but not everyone likes to hear them.
"What's wrong with the great witch? Is the great witch weak?" Hu Yin asked coldly.
"I, I didn't mean that," Zhu Yongmeng secretly complained, why did he accidentally tell the truth.
The great witch may not be as powerful as him, but he has a high status. If the tribesmen know that he said something wrong, they may be beaten.
He was considered quite strong among the young orcs, but in front of the older orcs he could only get beaten, and he didn't want to experience the feeling of having his head blown off by a hammer.
"Then what do you mean?" Zhu Yuanyuan spoke up for her master.
Ahem, don't say she doesn't care about her brother's life or death. As the heir to the great witch, her second brother is also questioning her strength.
"I, I am..." Zhu Yongmeng's eyes rolled around. Suddenly, he thought of a perfect reason, "Great wizards are all soft-hearted and kind-hearted people. No matter how powerful they are, they will not attack other tribes."
A flattering smile appeared on his face, "Witch, don't you think so?"
"No," Hu Yin was not fooled, "I am hard-hearted, especially when it comes to people who say bad things about me. I can't get rid of my anger without a beating."
"No problem, his mother-in-law and I will call the wizard," Zhu Qiang said.
Zhu Xiaofen's face was filled with approval, "Hit me hard."
"I'll do it," Zhu Yongyong said, "I'm weak, so I can just stand aside and watch."
Zhu Yongmeng instantly grimaced, "No, I just accidentally said the wrong thing... Great witch, please forgive me!"
Being inferior to others in strength, he could only throw himself at the feet of the great witch and plead guilty.
"Tsk, tsk, second brother, you are so cowardly," Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't help but shake her head, "Don't forget the persistence of the orcs. They bleed and sweat and refuse to admit defeat. If you spread the word like this, you won't be laughed at by your peers."
"This is not a hunting ground, what should I be afraid of!" Zhu Yongmeng snorted, "Besides, if what happened in my family gets spread, it will either be my eldest brother or you."
Zhu Yuanyuan refused, "There are seven or eight people in the family, can you be sure?"
"Yes," Zhu Yongmeng replied without thinking, and also gave the reason, "It's good that you two can't see me."
Zhu Yongyong and Zhu Yuanyuan said in unison, "What nonsense are you telling the truth!"
The three siblings had a quarrel, which gave Hu Yin a headache. He didn't bother to pursue the disrespect of a certain silly boy, and said with a dark face, "There must be something big going on here. Yuanyuan, just stay in the tribe. For the rest, leave it."
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded obediently, "but, are the Fox Clan far away from our tribe? Who will escort Master back?"
"The Fox Clan is not far from here. It would be far away if we were still in the original territory of the Black Pig Tribe," Hu Yin said. "As for the people accompanying me, they should be Flying Tiger Beastmen. I didn't ask which ones they are. .”
Zhu Yuanyuan was speechless and choked up. When the great witch went on a far journey, the leader would make arrangements for him without even asking. It could be said to be quite willful.
Yes, she is worrying too much.
I lamented a few times in my heart, and then asked when I would go out, "Master is not in the tribe, and I don't know what to do. I have to go early and come back early~"
"It's not early," Hu Yin took a piece of chestnut cake from the small stone table next to him and explained while eating, "it takes nearly half a month for the flying tiger orcs to fly from here to the fox tribe, and they have to wait for other recalled fox tribes to get there. Orcs, only when we are together can we talk about things."
Zhu Yuanyuan was a little panicked, "You mean there's no guarantee when you'll be back?"
"Yes," Hu Yin finished chewing the chestnut cake in his hand in three gulps, frowned and dusted off the snack crumbs on his body, "I just asked someone to bring over all the meat they were given today, please give me some dried meat instead."
The flying tiger orc took him flying, transformed into his beast form, and lay there in a bamboo basket with nothing to do. He had to bring some dried meat to grind his teeth.
Of course, Hu Yin also knew that the incident had happened unexpectedly and that he would not be able to make it in time when the meat came, so he simply said to change it.
"Yes, yes, Yuanyuan is afraid that her second brother will eat them all in a few days and keep them in her room," Zhu Qiang told his daughter, "Go and get as much as you can, including the dried fruits."
Zhu Yuanyuan hurriedly got up and went back to her room. She pulled out a large wooden box from the corner, opened the lid and took a look. There was only a little more than half of the box left, and her mood suddenly exploded. "Second brother, you came to my room and ate it again!"
