at night.

"Tot..."

"Ok?"

"Tot..."

"Um……"

"Tot..."

"Is something wrong?"

"Tot..."

"Just talk about it." Tau stopped what he was doing, and he looked back at Jacob who was muttering behind him.

Jacob always wanted to help, but Taut refused, not because he didn't trust him to do good things, but because he really didn't need help.

But Jacob's way of trying to help made Tao Te feel strange.

After a busy day during the day, he managed to smooth out several wooden boards, but it turned dark before he had enough sun.

Taut did the same thing, so he had to pack up his things and cook.

But Jacob was exceptionally clingy, following behind him without leaving half a step.

Taut found him annoying and drove him back into the room, but when he turned around while washing the dishes, he followed him again.

Tao Te shook his hand, cleaned the water on his hand, and then walked to the big wooden bucket beside him, "You stay at home, I went out to fetch water, and there is no water in the house."

He has been busy taking care of Jacob during this time, so he doesn't have much time to go out. The water tank was empty some time ago, and now it has bottomed out.

"I'll go too!" Jacob's eyes lit up immediately. He had never done this kind of thing before, so he was naturally curious.

"There will be a lot of orcs outside, and I'm going to fetch water from a very wide river, are you sure?" Taut deliberately shook the wooden barrel in his hand, and then looked at Jacob, who had obviously turned pale. .

Jacob stared at the bucket in Taut's hand, torn between fear and curiosity.

"Go or not? If not, I'm leaving." Tao Te said.

Jacob shrank his neck, and shook his head reluctantly after a long time.

He shrank his neck in the direction of the room, unwilling to take a step.

"Really not going?" Seeing Jacob's appearance, Taut couldn't help but want to deliberately tease him.

Jacob shook his head violently, almost shaking his head off, looking at Taut as if he saw some ferocious beast.

"I also told you to take a look. At this time, many orcs take their cubs to swim in the river to cool off." Tao Te took a few steps back, returned to Jacob's side, and forced people pull away.

"I'm not going, I, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest, I'm asleep..." After speaking, Jacob turned around and ran back to the room as if his butt was on fire. Already lying on the bed and shrinking into the quilt, the whole person is hidden like a chrysalis.

Then he behaved like a baby bug, not daring to show his head at all.

Taut laughed, stood in the yard and shook his head, then went out with a pole and bucket.

To the east of the tribe, there is a big river that runs through the entire tribe, from the mountains behind the tribe to the forest in front of the tribe, through the grassland on the other side of the forest, and to the farther...

After going out the door, I looked up and saw the surrounding mountains in the distance, and looking further away, the surrounding mountains could not be seen, as if the other side of the mountain was in the clouds.

From up there the river comes, and it's between these hills that a set of silvery ribbons slides down.

The streams between the mountain streams quietly converge into the main river, and the river channel is constantly being filled between the forest-like peaks. The wider the river, the more anxious the river is...

The vast river at their feet started from here.

Everything under the mountain is fed by the river from the mountain. The river nourishes the forest and the earth, and also nourishes the tribe.

At this time of year, many orcs on the road saw Tao Te going to fetch water, and some came up to ask about Jacob.

Jacob came to the tribe covered in blood before, so most people in the tribe knew about it, but there were not many people who knew Taut well, so only a few brave ones dared to ask about the situation.

Among them were Ma Lijie and Lip who Taut had met during his outing.

Ma Lijie lived by the river, so when he saw Tao Te waiting to fetch water by the river, he came up to ask Tao Te about the previous incident.

"I heard it's your younger brother from far away, but I don't think he looks like you?" Ma Lijie once served in the orc self-defense group of the tribal self-defense group, so he knows the latest news of the tribe, even the other party is Taut's All distant relatives already know.

"It's far away, and it's three thousand miles away. He can't even reach within three thousand miles." Tao Te said, "Actually, I haven't seen him much before, but I saw him once when I was young."

"Oh, that's right." Ma Lijie nodded, "But I guess I'm also sad. I have no relatives and no reason, and I'm still in a different place." Ma Lijie said.

There is a well by the river, which was dug by the orcs of the tribe after they took root here. There are many people coming and going by the well in the evening.

Soon it was Taut's turn. He stepped forward and put the bucket on the ground, and then grabbed the straw rope tied to the wooden bucket hanging in the well from the side of the wet wellhead.

The bucket was filled with water just now. The bucket was made of wood, and it floated on the surface of the water by inertia after being lowered.At this time, it is necessary to stir the rope by hand to submerge the bucket into the water and fill it with water again.

Taut tried a few times when he first came to this world, but it didn't work at all, but he has already gotten used to it after living alone.

After the bucket was filled with water, Tout lifted the bucket with his arms, and the bucket was full after two consecutive times.

Ma Lijie didn't leave during the period, and after seeing Tao Te stopped, he came up again, "Tao Te, you said that you are not young, why don't you have a caretaker around you?"

Taut was about to bend down to fetch water and leave, but Ma Lijie broke it, so Taut had to put down his pole and stand aside, letting the other orcs lined up behind him fetch water.

Ma Lijie dragged Tao Te to the side, and then said: "I didn't realize until I saw your distant relative, you are not young, otherwise, let me find a time to make arrangements for you?"

"There's no need to make arrangements. I haven't been thinking about starting a family recently." Tao Te said with a wry smile, "And I'm not in a hurry."

"If you are not in a hurry, who can be in a hurry? You are the only one in your family, you are not in a hurry..." Ma Lijie realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his mouth, "Sorry, I was talking too much. We Let’s not talk about this, but there is something I want to ask you.”

"What's the matter?" Tao Te followed him firmly to change the subject.

Ma Lijie came over, and he asked mysteriously: "Do you remember Heslet and Huggins?"

"Heslet? Why did you think of asking them?" Taut asked.

Campbell has already made arrangements for the disappearance of Heslet and Huggins in the tribe. Heslet left the tribe to go to a relative's house and will not return for the time being.

Huggins went out of the tribe to perform a long-distance mission and will not return to the tribe for the time being.

As for the follow-up, one is to settle down in another place, and the other is to die during the mission.With such an arrangement, as long as the time is staggered, and the two are separated one after the other, it won't be long before the two of them will gradually fade out of everyone's sight.

God does not know, ghosts do not know.

"Didn't the new captain, Campbell, have been investigating these two people? Both Lip and I have been questioned dozens of times, and we focused on the actions of these two orcs. If you're not a fool, how could you not guess that this matter has something to do with these two people."

Tao Te nodded. Indeed, Campbell had been investigating this matter back then, and Hexlett and Huggins, who were noticed by him, would definitely be noticed.

"I don't know. You also know that my relationship with them is not very good." Tao Te said.

"Don't hide it from me. I don't know what your captain is like. He has a cold face on the surface, but secretly he cares about every detail. He has been holding on to your little things for several months. How could it be possible to easily let the murderer go." Ma Lijie dragged Tao Te into a corner, "Didn't he say that he had already found the clues a while ago, maybe he already..."

"Nothing, I really don't know, but if you want to know, you can ask Campbell, you... know where he lives." Taut laughed, and turned around before Marij asked again. leave.

The matter between Hudgens and Huslett was handled by Campbell alone, so he did not appreciate the rigor of Campbell's work, so when faced with questioning, Taut's first suspicion was not Campbell, but he began to wonder why Ma Lijie will ask him about it.

It stands to reason that Ma Lijie is not familiar with them, even if he became interested in the two because of the marsupial lion, he would not come to ask them specifically.

Thinking back now, if Ma Lijie saw that Shui put the marsupial lion egg in his luggage but didn't say it, then no matter how hard Campbell put in it, he couldn't find anything...

But this is just his guess, and there is no evidence.

Taut carried water home, and almost threw the water out of the house because of lack of concentration before he entered the door.

After finally standing firmly on his feet, Tao Ding took a closer look, and there was a lump at his feet.

That thing is nothing else, it is the little person who should be lying on the bed to recuperate.

He just squatted behind the door and peeked out from the crack of the door. It turned out that he had been squatting for a long time or lost his mind, so when Tao Te pushed the door and entered, he knocked his head on the door before he could dodge it. , was pushed by Tao Te's action to push the door and fell to the ground.

"It hurts..." The little man covered his head, his eyes were filled with water vapor.

"Why are you squatting behind the door for nothing? Get out of the way, or I'll step on you." Tao Te carried water on his shoulders, standing at the door and neither advancing nor retreating.

Seeing this, Jacob hurriedly hid behind the door with both hands and feet.

His eyes were wide open, and there was still water vapor, as if he was afraid that Taut would step on him.

Taut hurriedly carried the bucket into the yard, and then poured it all into the water tank.

After doing this, he looked back, and found that the little man was still sitting behind the door.

Taut had told the little man before that he should not stay on the ground behind the door, and be careful not to be crushed. Unexpectedly, he was not stepped on when he was small, but he was knocked down when he became bigger.

"Get up, what are you doing on the ground." Tao Te walked over and held out his hand to him.

There were tears in the little man's eyes, and although he wasn't ready to cry, he was in pain.Now Taut reached out to him, and his cheeks were flushed.

Impatiently, he lowered a hand from his forehead and placed it in the palm of Tao Te, and obediently let Tao pull up, and then led him into the living room.

"Don't squat at the door in the future." Tao Te said.

He reached out and took the other hand off the little man's head, and then checked his smooth forehead.

It must have been hit hard, and his forehead was already red and swollen.

"It still hurts?" Tao Te stretched out his hand, and just touched his red skin with his fingertips. The little man shrank his neck like an electric shock. He raised his hand to cover his forehead, but Tao pulled his hand.

Without covering his aching forehead with his hand, the little man slightly raised his head and looked up at Tao Te, his eyes full of grievances.
