Chapter 59 The Wandering Tribe

They are tribes abandoned by the beast gods.

This sword has no eyes, although the guest can't hurt Jiang Qiubai, the boss, but if the guest hurts himself, it won't do either.

He didn't want to see blood in the tavern.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Jiang Qiubai threw the bone knife away, and then stepped forward, forcing him to sit on the booth, "I am the boss here, you are dreaming The time has come to enter here, and when the sun rises, you can go back."

The boy raised his head and looked at Jiang Qiubai for a moment, as if confirming the truth of what he said.

Dreaming, how could dreaming come to such a place?

The place was too beautiful, more beautiful than his barren mind could have imagined.

Jiang Qiubai pointed to the empress and the others, "They are all my guests just like you, you all came to me in your dreams, we can't hurt each other, so don't be afraid. "

Maybe Jiang Qiubai's voice was too gentle, or maybe it was too warm here, the tense expression of the young man gradually relaxed.

Jiang Qiubai continued to introduce, "My place was originally a tavern, um..."

He was worried that primitive people would not understand what a tavern is, and explained: "You can understand it as a store, but the store doesn't seem to work either, so is there a market in your world?"

In the market, the primitive boy understood and nodded slowly.

They have a market every spring and autumn, and the orcs can bring their supplies to the market to exchange what they need, including salt, fur, and many shiny stones.

However, their tribe is not allowed to go to the market, they can only go secretly, and they will be tricked by others. A lot of animal skins can be exchanged for a little supplies.

They are called the ominous tribe by other orcs, people who have been abandoned by the beast gods.

Jiang Qiubai originally wanted to say that this place sells alcohol, but the primitive society should not know what a bar is?

And he saw that this little primitive man should be quite young, so he didn't plan to sell him alcohol, so let's drink.

Thinking about it again, although his place is a tavern, by now, it has almost become a purchasing agent, where he can buy everything.

Clothes, pants and shoes, the empress even asked him to buy sanitary napkins.

Forget it, the market is the market.

Jiang Qiubai said: "Just treat my place as a stall in the market. I sell everything here. You can tell me what you need."

The little orc's eyes lit up, "Is there any meat? Is there any salt?"

"Yes, both." Jiang Qiubai said heartily, this is indeed something that primitive society needs.

Meat and salt are not expensive, it depends on how much this primitive boy needs.

"Then can I exchange animal skins with you?" the little orc was excited.

As long as there is enough food and salt, his people will no longer starve to death, nor will they lose their strength.

But Jiang Qiubai got stuck, the animal skin was still the animal skin of the primitive world.

Animal skins are a common commodity in that world, right?It can be used as money.

However, it is illegal to hunt wild animals in modern times. If he took out the animal skins, he would be arrested on the spot.

It’s not okay to hide it secretly at home, it’s useless for him to hold it.

Well, there is no killing without buying and selling.

The little orc's eyes dimmed. He could see it all. These people were not wearing animal skins, and they looked softer and more comfortable than animal skins. Why would they need animal skins?

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Qiubai is not short of money anymore, meat and salt are not expensive, so it doesn't matter to give some to this primitive boy.

Just do a good job that day.

He said, "How much meat and salt do you need? Just treat it as my treat."

The little orc shook his head with a desolate expression, "The old priest once taught me not to take other people's things for nothing, and you will pay the price later."

So they would rather suffer losses than take other people's things in vain, the beast god will punish them.

"What kind of animal skin is it?" The empress next door suddenly called out.

Jiang Qiubai's eyes brightened, that's right, animal skins cannot be used in modern society, but the world of queens and empresses can.

Besides, the empress is still the most honorable woman in the world, and she owns several animal skins, isn't it normal?

No one dared to check the origin of the empress's animal skin.

It's not a bad place to go.

The little orc looked timid. He had never seen someone like the empress. He whispered, "Is the fur of the spotted beast okay? I only have this fur, which is the best and cleanest."

Spotted beast, what animal is that?

Everyone present was stunned.

Jiang Qiubai thought for a while, took out his phone and searched for spotted animals, "Do you see these?"

The little orc's eyes were fixed on the screen of the phone. This boxy, stone-like thing is amazing. It can also emit light. There are beasts inside. This man actually locked the beast into this box.

Amazing.

Jiang Qiubai flicked the picture on the screen, "Do you see this? This is a zebra."

The little orc shook his head, "This is a Benben beast, good at running, but this Benben beast is so strange, it has so many black and white stripes."

Benben beast?Is it appropriate?

Jiang Qiubai smiled, and continued to swipe the screen. There were tigers, lynxes, giraffes, and finally cheetahs.

"It's this." The little orc pointed to the picture of the cheetah. "Although it's still a little different, the pattern on the fur is very similar."

Jiang Qiubai understands that in primitive society, many animals have not yet evolved, and they are not sure whether they are the same as the creatures on the earth.

The empress also looked at it, "The cheetah's hide is okay, can you take it over and have a look?"

She could see that Boss Jiang wanted to help this primitive man. They were all friends. She had received so many favors from Boss Jiang, and it was just a matter of convenience.

"Then I'll go back and get it." The little orc was very excited. The spotted beast's hide was his most complete one, and it was hunted by his father when he was a tribal warrior.

But, "How do I go back?"

"As long as it belongs to you, you can think about it in your mind and it will appear here." Jiang Qiubai explained.

He could send meat and salt to the little orc, but if there was something in exchange, that would be the best way.

Sometimes it's better not to promote this kind of atmosphere in the first place.

According to what Jiang Qiubai said, the little orc thought about the fur in his cave, and in the next moment, a piece of fur with very uniform patterns and colors covered his body.

It is really a big piece of leopard-print animal skin, which is much larger than ordinary cheetahs, almost four or five times the size.

Are all the cheetahs in the primitive world this big?

The empress's eyes lit up, this animal skin is really beautiful.

And the cheetah itself is very rare, her husband should like it very much.

It's just that the way the primitive people tanned the animal skin was not up to standard. This piece of animal skin still has a little animal smell, and the leather is also a little stiff.

But it doesn't matter, she just takes it back and finds someone to re-tan it once.

"I want this animal skin." The empress looked at Jiang Qiubai, "Boss Jiang, please get him some food. I'll supply it to you."

Jiang Qiubai nodded, and clicked on the delivery software, "How much meat and salt do you need?"

"The more the better." After the little orc finished speaking, he lowered his head again, "But a piece of animal skin may not be able to exchange much meat."

He imitated the Queen's name, "Boss Jiang, can you give me some more meat, and when spring comes next year, we will go hunting again, and I will send you some more animal skins, as well as the fur of the Roaring Beast, the mammoth beast fur."

In fact, they still have a lot of animal skins, but those animal skins are not as complete as the spotted animal's hide, and it is too cold now, and everyone needs animal skins to keep warm.

This piece of animal skin is his own, and he has been reluctant to use it.

Jiang Qiubai didn't care about this either, as long as the boy pays consciously, that's fine.

As for the matter of animal skins, let's see Empress Empress and Ah Qing, they are the only ones who can use them.

He thought for a while, "It's too late today, let me see how much I can buy for you, I'll prepare some more for you tomorrow, and you can come back tomorrow night."

The little orc nodded, "Then how should I come here tomorrow?"

"Just think about this place in your mind before going to bed. This place is called Late Night Tavern." Jiang Qiubai finished speaking, "By the way, what's your name? My name is Jiang Qiubai. Do you have a name?"

The little orc's eyes were bright, and he looked a little excited, "My name is Bai Qiu."

Jiang Qiubai: "..Bai Qiu? White white? Autumn autumn?"

"Yeah." The little orc nodded excitedly, "My father is a white tiger orc. I was born in the harvest autumn, so my name is Bai Qiu."

All right, Bai Qiu is Bai Qiu, this can be regarded as fate.

Wait, orc?

"Are you an orc?" Jiang Qiubai was full of surprise, "Is that the kind of orc that can turn into an animal?"

Bai Qiu said: "I am a sub-orc, not a beast. Only a beast can change into a beast."

What are sub-orcs?

Jiang Qiubai pointed to himself, and then to the empress, "I am a man and she is a woman. How do you orcs divide the gender?"

He took a closer look at the little boy again. He didn't wear animal skin on his upper body, and he looked as thin as ribs. He couldn't be a girl, could he?

Bai Qiu thought for a while, and answered: "We also have male orcs and male orcs, female orcs and female orcs, the orcs are in charge of hunting, and the sub-orcs are in charge of gathering, and the orcs and sub-orcs sleep in the same cave, and after a while, we can give birth to baby orcs." and the Little orcs."

Jiang Qiubai froze for a moment, this is somewhat similar to Yan Shen's abo world, with four genders.

"Then how do you distinguish between orcs and sub-orcs?" Jiang Qiubai was curious, "Is there any difference?"

Bai Qiu blinked those clear eyes, "Orcs can transform into beasts, but sub-orcs can't. We only have beast ears and tails."

It turned out to be the case.

It was only then that Jiang Qiubai noticed that Bai Qiu's thatch-like hair had hidden a pair of white, round ears, which were similar to those of a tiger.

Um, even this hair is too dirty, I can't get my hands off it.

Besides, Bai Qiu also has a white tail coiled around his waist.

At first, Jiang Qiubai thought the tail was a belt.

Thinking that Jiang Qiubai liked his tail, Bai Qiu wrapped it around his waist and stretched it out in front of Jiang Qiubai, "Do you want to touch it? Just touch it."

When he said this, his face was red.

But he didn't have anything else to repay them. He just thought that he liked the tails of those little orcs very much, and he often stroked them.

Although he is no longer a little orc, his tail is still very beautiful. Boss Jiang will like it, right?

Jiang Qiubai was really moved, tentatively stretched out his paw and rua on the tip of the tail.

So soft.

So soft to the touch.

The three people next door also gathered around, all curious about the orc.

This was the first time that other than Yu Keke, guests from other species came over.

Bai Qiu was uncomfortable being watched by them, and pulled his animal skin skirt, these people are so clean, and they all smell good.

There is still firewood in the cave for barbecue and heating. It is impossible to boil water for bathing. It is too cold outside and the river is frozen. He has not bathed for a long time, and his body is smelly and dirty.

A feeling called inferiority complex rushed into my heart.

Yu Keke poked out her curious little head, "Can you tell me about the situation in your world? Did something happen to you?"

Yu Keke knows that the guests who can come here have their own difficulties, everyone has them, without exception.

He was worried whether the little orc had encountered a situation similar to his.

Comparing his heart to his heart, he has received help from Brother Xiaobai and the others, and he also wants to pass on such kindness.

Jiang Qiubai is ordering takeaway here, and it doesn't matter what kind of pork, beef, chicken, or duck. It is good to be able to buy meat at this time. As long as it is meat, he will add it to the shopping cart.

But he also pricked his ears, wanting to know the situation of the little orc.

But don't be in the kind of situation where you want to starve to death.

That would be troublesome.

Xu Ruoqing poured him a cup of honey lemonade, "Drink some hot water, talk slowly, and see if we can help you."

Bai Qiu took the glass carefully, "This jeweled glass is so beautiful."

"This is a glass, it's not a precious stone, it's not worth much, don't be afraid." Xu Ruoqing felt affectionate, "Hurry up and drink some water, your lips are dry."

Holding the cup, Bai Qiu took a sip of the warm honey water, his eyes lit up immediately, "This water tastes like the honey juice of humming beasts."

Buzz beast?

Is it so interesting for primitive people to name animals?

"This is made with the honey of humming beasts." Xu Ruo smiled lightly, "Drink more if you like it. This is also free of charge. You don't need to exchange it with animal skins."

Bai Qiu had a big meal, and drank a glass of honey water in one gulp, "It's delicious, it's sweet."

My stomach throbbing with hunger was relieved, and my body warmed up.

Everyone smiled, as a child, he was quite capable of bluffing people before.

The empress also brought over the takeaway they ordered, "Eat some, I wonder if you can get used to it, and you don't need animal skins to exchange for these."

Bai Qiu felt everyone's kindness, looked at the food that he had never seen before, swallowed his saliva, did not dare to stretch out his hand after all, just being able to drink honey water was enough.

Yu Keke directly stuffed a hamburger into his hand, "Eat it, you will have strength when you are full, we order too much, we can't finish it, it will be wasted."

Bai Qiu burst into tears, these people are so kind, they will share food with him.

Everyone looked at him, and he didn't want to refuse everyone's kindness again, so he finished a burger in a few bites, without even tasting the taste, but said it was delicious.

Xu Ruoqing poured him another glass of water and let him drink it, "Shut up, don't choke."

Bai Qiu drank several mouthfuls of honey water before slowly telling his own story, "I am the current priest of the wandering tribe."

It is not accurate to say that it is a priest. He just learned the skills from the old priest for several years. Before he learned all the skills of the priest, the old priest went to another world.

He belongs to the priest who was driven to the shelves, because a tribe cannot live without priests.

Tribes without priests were reduced to slavery.

And none of their wandering tribes can be said to be a normal tribe. The orcs and sub-orcs in their tribe were all driven out by the original tribe.

Because they were abandoned by the beast gods, they could not stay in the original tribe.

Just like his father and Yafu, his father was originally a warrior in the tiger tribe, but because he was injured and broke his leg when he was out hunting.

It turned out that the priest of that tribe said that if the leg was broken, if it didn't heal, it would be the punishment from the beast god. However, his father couldn't heal, and his leg was already lame, which was the punishment of the beast god.

So the tribe wanted to drive his father out, and his Yafu didn't want to live with other orcs anymore, so he took him and left the tiger tribe with his father.

Then they came to what is now the wandering tribe.

The orcs and sub-orcs in the wandering tribe are basically in a similar situation. Everyone was driven out of the original tribe and slowly gathered together to keep warm and take care of each other. This is how the current wandering tribe came into being.

And because he was smarter, he was selected by the old priest of the wandering tribe to learn the skills of the priest from the old priest.

How to sacrifice to the beast gods every spring, and how to treat the wounded people of the tribe.

It's just that he's a half-baked guy.

Moreover, their wandering tribes have no territory, so they can only live in places without tribes or in the desert.

But as long as that place is discovered by other tribes and designated as a hunting ground by other tribes, they will be expelled.

Because they were punished by the beast gods, they were unknown people, and other tribes felt that they were unlucky and would bring disaster to them.

No one welcomes them.

But this time, they also made a long-distance migration in autumn, and they didn't have enough time to store enough food for the winter, and they couldn't get enough salt in the market.

Not long after the beginning of winter, many people have starved to death. There is no salt to eat, and everyone has no strength.

And the food that can be eaten in the tribe is running out.

How can we survive this winter?

"Woooo, this is too pitiful." Yu Keke, a soft-hearted mermaid, began to squeeze pearls again, "What's breaking the rules? He was obviously injured, so why was he kicked out of the tribe?"

Xu Ruoqing was also filled with righteous indignation, "If you are injured, you will be abandoned. What's the point? What kind of thing is a beast god?"

The empress couldn't bear it, she was so sad, and she even took their animal skins, this little orc wouldn't be frozen to death in the cave, right?

Jiang Qiubai can understand the way of those tribes, which is similar to the habits of the animal world.

In a group, if another partner is injured, he will be abandoned by the group.

And the seriously injured orcs were abandoned. At first, they probably didn't want the injured orcs to become a drag on the group.

Because it was seriously injured and could not hunt, it was worthless.

I can understand it, but I don't support it or agree with it.

What is the most basic difference between animals and humans? Animals have no humanity, but humans are different.

Jiang Qiubai ordered thousands of catties of meat and dozens of packets of salt, and added a delivery fee of 200 yuan before someone took the order.

"Okay, the meat will be delivered later." Jiang Qiubai put down his phone and asked, "How many people are there in your tribe?"

"There are more than 3000 people, including more than 700 orcs, more than 1000 sub-orcs, and the rest are children, and there are old people or orcs who can't move." Bai Qiu replied, "Although children and old people have no ability to hunt and gather , but we don’t want to abandon them either.”

They are all people who have been abandoned, and they are unwilling to give up any of their companions.

And old people and children can also do some small things, help them sharpen stone knives, tan their fur, they are not useless people.

There are more than 3000 people, which is not a lot. Jiang Qiubai asked again: "How many people are there in other tribes?"

"My original tribe had more than 2000 people." Bai Qiu said, "Other tribes basically have a few hundred to 3000 people. Only the Beast God tribe has many people, countless people. They all Instead of living in caves, they built houses of stone."

That has initially developed urbanization.

The beastman world is still a bit powerful.

Jiang Qiubai thought, a tribe of more than 3000 people is not too small.

So many people have been deported for a long time, what is the reason?Can't call back?

Maybe there are too few orcs responsible for hunting in the wandering tribe?Not enough strength?

And according to what Bai Qiu said, these orcs may have been injured, lacking arms or legs or something.

The sub-orcs are responsible for collecting, and their force value is average.

In other words, the chances of winning are too small.

In this way, there are not many orcs who can hunt, and the sub-orcs can only collect some edible wild fruits and vegetables, but these things are not durable, and basically cannot be stored as food in winter.

Therefore, the main food of the orcs had to be meat.

Jiang Qiubai did some calculations. Today, he bought a total of more than 1000 catties of meat, and each person can only share a few taels of meat, which is basically the amount for a meal.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and ordered a batch of cheap potatoes and rice, which will not be delivered until tomorrow.

Xu Ruoqing softened his heart, and directly sent all the food for the Xu family tomorrow. The empress has a special status, but she also sent a small part of the staple food, which piled up into a hill in the tavern.

Vegetables, meat, staple food, and oil and salt, everything.

Bai Qiu was so moved that he burst into tears, "Thank you, thank you. When spring comes, the warriors in our tribe will go hunting. I will definitely send you a lot of animal skins."

Everyone smiled in good faith, and they didn't say no, they had to give this little orc a little hope of life.

"Don't think so much." Jiang Qiubai relieved, "Let's talk about it after we get through this difficulty."
