Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Chapter 8 Contradictions

In the early morning, Shen Huaijin came out of the medicine house with the clothes she changed yesterday, planning to go to the stream to wash.

It was still very early, and not many people in the tribe woke up, only a few old orcs were sitting in the square, bending over to grind stones, apparently making tools like stone knives or stone axes.

Shen Huaijin carefully washed his face and mouth with stream water, and when he was rubbing his clothes with his hands, the Dahe tribe seemed to wake up slowly, and the voices of greetings came from the square.

Shen Huaijin looked back, and saw the sub-beasts who were not inferior to him in size came out of their thatched huts, in groups of two or three, some lit a fire to make food, some tanned animal skins, and some walked towards the stream with animal skin dresses Come, it is orderly.

The hair of this group of sub-beasts is generally dark brown, unlike the orcs who have rich hair colors due to different animal shapes. They not only wear animal skin skirts, but also a simple animal skin vest, some of which are even in length. From skirt to skirt, some are short, revealing a slender waist.

Some sub-beasts with immature faces also wear ornaments on their necks and hands, generally made of grass stems and flower petals.

Shen Huaijin observed quietly for a moment, then lowered her head and started washing her clothes.His camouflage short sleeves were only stained with sweat, which could be cleaned with a few more rubs, but the coat and pants were stained with blood and mud, and the whole was colorful, and rubbing with hands alone was not enough.

He sighed secretly in his heart, he guessed that he was about to live a life of wearing animal skin skirts.

"Use this to clean it up, guest from afar."

Several sub-beasts went to the stream to wash the animal skins, and one of the sub-beasts squatted beside Shen Huaijin, chatting up in a soft voice, holding a few green bean-like fruits in his hands.

Shen Huaijin froze for a moment, then immediately took over.

"Thank you."

Following the practice of the subbeasts, he squeezed open two fruits, and saw milky white juice flowing out, exuding a fresh and non-pungent smell. He took this juice and wiped it on his clothes, and it was really easy to wash off the stains when he scrubbed again. Lost.

"Just call me Jin."

Shen Huaijin raised a bright smile to reciprocate the kindness from the strange beast.

Yashou seemed to be amazed by his smile for a moment. After a moment of stupefaction, he replied with a smile: "My name is Yin, and I am Yan's partner. There are many Xizhu nearby. You can get them from me if you need them."

Occasionally, Yin could hear the discussion between Yan and Dawu, knowing that Shen Huaijin's status and respect might help the Dahe Tribe, and she was also told to take care of him, so when she saw the other party washing things alone by the stream, she hurried away. coming.

After meeting, Yin also felt that the other party was indeed a likable sub-beast. No wonder Li Hui insisted on forming a bond with him. The orcs have been talking privately for the past two days.

Although Yin's facial features are ordinary, but his eyes are gentle, which can easily make people like him, and Shen Huaijin is no exception.

While scrubbing and washing his clothes, he asked seemingly unintentionally, "Beast people, aren't you getting up?"

"The orcs need a lot of physical strength to maintain their animal shape, so the rest time is longer."

After being instructed, Yin knew that Shen Huaijin was not yet familiar with the orc language, so she spoke as slowly as possible.Because of this, Shen Huaijin understood the general idea, knowing that although the orcs can transform into animal forms and are powerful, they are not invincible, at least they must suffer from the shackles of a large loss of physical strength.

Yin looked at Shen Huaijin's washed short sleeves, and asked curiously, "Is this a beast skin from the Western Continent?"

Yinting Dawu and Yan discussed the possibility that Shen Huaijin came from the Western Continent, and the two finally agreed that it should be so.

Shen Huaijin was worrying that he didn't have a reasonable place to come from, and Yin's question inspired him.The east and west continents are not interconnected, and the west continent is more developed than the east continent.If someone asks, he can say that he came here from the Western Continent by chance, and what he makes next can also be named "Western Continent", which just kills two birds with one stone.

So he didn't refute, just replied vaguely: "Well, this is something from my hometown."

Yin showed a look of sudden realization. Sure enough, only the West Continent can tan such a thin and soft leather.

Yin was very curious about the Western Continent, but he was embarrassed to keep chasing Shen Huaijin and asking him. He was afraid of making him unhappy, so he dragged another sub-beast aside, and introduced: "Jin, this is my sub-son, Ann. Ann, This is a guest from the Great River Tribe, Jin."

An was washing clothes when she was suddenly dragged by Apa to the beautiful and unfamiliar Asian animal. She blushed suddenly and stammered a greeting. Seeing that Shen Huaijin answered with a smile, she let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Huaijin had a good impression of the father and son, and was reluctant to leave after washing the clothes. While watching them wash the animal skins, they chatted with them.

After chatting, I realized that one of the two Asian beasts who looked young was actually nearly 80 years old, and the other was almost 40 years old.Shen Huaijin was secretly amazed when she heard it, and was once again shocked by the magic of "not looking old" in the beastman world.

Both Yin and An are the captains of the collection team, and the remaining captain is Yang, the son of Wu Zhumiao, who is still very young and has not formed a bond.

"Then have you formed a bond?" Shen Huaijin asked curiously.

"My partner is Rin, who is also the leader of the hunting team."

Speaking of her partner, An blushed with happiness again.

Speaking of the hunting team, Shen Huaijin naturally couldn't help asking.

"Captain, both are bonded with each other. Li's partner, shouldn't it be Yang?" Why did that guy still stare at him like a dog smelling a bone.

"Of course not." An Nande retorted loudly, "Beastmen and Asian beasts will only form a bond under the premise of love, regardless of each other's identities. This is the tradition of the Beastman Continent."

Shen Huaijin didn't quite understand what he said, and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

Yin obviously knew more about the "love-hate entanglement" between Shen Huaijin and Li, so he patted An's arm to signal him not to talk nonsense, and then softly comforted Shen Huaijin: "Although Yang likes Li, Li never responds. Li likes you, so don't worry."

Shen Huaijin: ...

Shen Huaijin: No, I was not comforted.

After several people washed the animal skins, the aroma of barbecue was already coming from the square.An held the animal skin in one hand and took Shen Huaijin's arm in the other, leading him to the square.After a few chats, An Yanran already regarded Shen Huaijin as a friend, and also an acquaintance.

Shen Huaijin stood up and found that the height of Asian beasts in this world is generally between 1.7 meters 1.9 and 1.8 meters. Shen Huaijin, who has always been quite proud of his height, couldn't help but feel frustrated by the comparison with the orcs who were more than two meters tall.

At this time, the orcs also came out of the house, and the square was already bustling with people. Everyone sat around and grilled meat, and several large clay pots were steaming. The tribe was full of vitality.

Shen Huaijin shook out the clothes and carefully dried them on the poles that had been set up in front of the pharmacy.As soon as it was finished drying, I heard a cold snort from behind, and when I turned my head, I saw a handsome orc walking by.

Shen Huaijin was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and smiled helplessly, he had no glass heart.

As an immigrant, it is not easy to stay in a tribe with insufficient resources. Besides, he is still eating "free food" at present. It is normal for stakeholders to feel dissatisfied.

But since he has decided to integrate into the tribe, Shen Huaijin is not good at getting food brought in by the wizard every day, even if he will be treated coldly by some people in the tribe, he has to come out first.

An was very useful at this time, and after drying her animal skins, she excitedly came to find Shen Huaijin to have dinner with her.He pulled Shen Huaijin to the edge of the fire, surrounded by orcs and sub-beasts, everyone stared at him curiously.

Shen Huaijin greeted everyone calmly. Seeing that he was approachable, the orcs and Yashou present let go of their restraint, and asked about anecdotes between him and Li. The excitement in their tone and the speed of their speech made the orc language half-baked. Shen Huaijin didn't understand anything, so he could only wave his hands again and again, and finally An helped him out.

"Okay, okay, if you're curious, just ask Li, Jin doesn't understand the orc language very well, how can I answer your questions?"

Everyone had also been reminded by the big witch, knowing that Shen Huaijin did not understand the orc language, but they didn't dare to ask Li directly, so they had to rest their minds.

On the contrary, a sub-beast murmured softly, and was afraid to speak after being glared at by An.

Shen Huaijin glanced at the sub-beast, and just as he wrote down his appearance, he was pushed aside by a big hand, and he was forcibly divided into half of the tree stump.

Shen Huaijin: ...This familiar feeling, is it not Li and who.

Li Po didn't say anything, he just woke up, his body was still a little lazy, his eyes were lowered, he took the barbecue in Shen Huaijin's hand and continued to roast it.The surrounding orcs and sub-beasts couldn't help showing gossip expressions on their faces, even An was no exception.

Shen Huaijin didn't feel much. He was also a hedonist if the environment allowed. Wouldn't it be better to have someone to help with the barbecue.

Yan, Xiu and two wizard assistants sat alone by a fire.

I saw Xiu holding the animal tooth hanging around his neck with his hands, and muttering to himself with his eyes closed, as if praying for blessings.

There are more than 100 people in the whole tribe. Everyone is solemn at the moment, and the surroundings are so quiet that only the sound of wind and birdsong can be heard.

After the end, Yu Yan announced that the meal was open, and the tribe became lively.

The fat and thin animal meat turned golden yellow under the licking of the fire, and the fat slowly seeped out. The moist oil on the surface of the roasted meat gave off a strong aroma amid the beeping sound of the fire.

Even though Shen Huaijin was not used to eating such greasy food in the morning, smelling the aroma at this moment whetted his appetite.

"It's still hot, eat slowly." Li handed the almost roasted meat to Shen Huaijin's hand.

After finishing speaking, Li yawned, he was not fully awake at this time, his silver hair was limply drooping, under the sunlight in the morning, his green eyes were like a cold lake in the middle of the night yesterday, and now they are even watery The light reminds Shen Huaijin of the Samoyed raised by her younger sister, who looks easy to touch.

Shen Huaijin almost took action, but fortunately a voice interrupted him.

"He hasn't worked for two days, so why can he eat the tribe's food?"

The voice was sharp and loud, and everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.
