Ask for help

The sun was shining at noon in summer, and two orcs covered in dirt and scars appeared in front of the vine tribe.

The guards thought it was an orc who was left behind in the migratory tribe, and accidentally walked to the boundary of the vine tribe.Seeing the two orcs getting closer, they thought they wanted to join the vine tribe.

However, these two orcs either had a broken leg or a broken hand, and it was impossible for the priest to accept them.

The guard's stone spear swung across and said, "This is the Vine Tribe, don't come any closer."

"It's us! It's us!" Hu Mu pushed back the hair that covered his face, and said excitedly, "Xiong San Xiong Si, it's me and Lang Wu who are back!"

The voice sounded familiar, and Xiong San and Xiong Si looked at each other in disbelief.It's not that he doesn't believe that the person in front of him is a member of the Vine tribe, but he doesn't believe that he can come back alive after being swept away by that flood for so many days.

"Where did your faces go? Hu Wu went out to look for you all day long, and he didn't even make a sound for so long." Xiong Si put away the stone spear and stepped forward to check the wounds on the two of them.Looking at it from a distance before, it seemed that the injury was not serious.

Xiong Si looked at the two with a stiff expression, "What's wrong with you?"

Humu smiled bleakly, "Before I didn't come back, I was recuperating from my injuries. Both Lang Wu and I were too seriously injured to come back. We won't come back until both of us are able to walk a little bit. If we go alone, it's like we are now. Halfway Feed it to the beast."

Xiong Si didn't say a word, Xiong San happened to come over and heard Humu's words, she glanced at the two of them and didn't ask any more questions but said in a muffled voice, "Go see the priest."

"Okay." Humu held Lang Wu's arm with one hand, giving Lang Wu a point to use his strength for walking.

Xiong San and Xiong Si stood where they were, their expressions were not very good.Xiong Si frowned and asked: "One has a broken leg and is blind in one eye, and the other has a broken hand. Do you think the priest will allow them to stay in the tribe?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Unless the orcs leave by themselves, which tribe will drive the orcs out." Xiong San gripped the stone spear tightly and stood on his position again. Dadong goes to live with the elderly and children, and will not be driven out of the tribe."

Xiong Si still frowned tightly, but it was much better than before.Although there is nothing to eat in the big hole, at least it is better than going out and being eaten by wild animals.

Seeing that Xiong Si still had a sad expression on his face, Xiong San couldn't hold back and said, "Don't say that the big cave has tribe meat, just say that Hu Wu is an orc warrior in the tribe and a member of the hunting team. He has enough meat for the His father and mother will not starve to death, why are you so worried."

"I'm not worried, I just feel that such a powerful orc warrior will only be able to gather with the elderly and children in the future, and can only be in the big cave every day. It's a bit sad to think about it." Xiong San argued.

"What's so sad, which tribe doesn't like this." Xiong Si said indifferently: "Now that there are no more cannibals, it's already good that we don't have to worry about being sent to be meat people when we are about to die of old age."

Xiong Sanyi thought so too, "You're right, it's already very good."

When Hu Wu returned from hunting with the hunting team, Xiong San called out, "Fox Wu! Hu Wu! This way!"

Hu Wu, who was carrying a sheep on his shoulder, turned around half a circle before seeing Xiong San, "What do you want me to do?"

"Your father and mother are back! I went to see the priest a long time ago, and I guess I have returned to the cave." Even if the priest said that he would not look for the orcs washed away by the flood, Hu Wu would still go out to look for them after hunting. .They all saw it, and now that his father and mother finally came back, Xiong San wanted to tell Hu Wu the good news as soon as possible.

Hu Wu was stunned for a while when he heard it, and when he came to his senses, he carried the sheep and ran away, causing the hunting team leader to shout from behind: "You little fox, keep the sheep! You will have to divide the meat later!"

With a sound of "bang", the sheep was thrown to the ground. Hu Wu continued to run forward and said eagerly, "I'm in a hurry to see my father and mother so I won't send it back. Captain, you can get it yourself!"

Everyone in the hunting team couldn't help laughing, and joked, "This cub is already an orc warrior in the hunting team, and he clings to his parents all day long like a cub that hasn't been weaned."

"Who says it's not, but it's been so many days since the flood, how come Humu and Lang Wu are only coming back now? Xiong San Xiong Si, look at them, how are they doing?"

Xiong San and Xiong Si sighed, and told the hunting team about the injuries of the two of them.After speaking, there was silence.In the end, Lang Ye, the captain of the hunting team, said, "Stop standing here, go in and share the meat."

"Father and mother!" Hu Wu's cheerful voice came into the cave, and the numb orc inside finally had a little more emotion. Hu Mu touched the corner of his eyes and responded: "Cub!"

Hearing the voice of thinking day and night, Hu Wu stepped faster and rushed into the cave, and the joyful atmosphere around him was about to drown him.

He rushed towards his mother, but the moment he touched his mother's arms, his whole body stiffened.When he saw that his mother's left arm was empty, it was like falling from midsummer to cold winter in an instant.

Hu Wu turned his gaze to his father again. His father was very powerful, and he was the fastest in the hunting team when hunting.

But now, the lower half of his father's left leg is gone, and one of those sharp eyes that would make people afraid just by looking at them is also blind.

Hu Wu felt that he was being pushed into a bitterly icy lake in the cold winter, and he couldn't breathe due to the cold all over his body.

how so…

At this time, Hu Wu's head was in a mess, thinking about everything but not thinking about anything.Suddenly a picture clearly came to mind, it was the scene of the Hill Tribe he saw near the Wood Tribe that day.

Hu Wu gradually calmed down, everything is fine, the old people and children of the mountain tribe can live well.

Although his father and mother had broken their hands and feet, they were still orc warriors, and their strength was much stronger than that of the elderly and children. They could live well in the future.

"Father and mother, I will try my best to hunt more prey for you to eat in the future." Hu Wu pretended to be calm and asked: "What should I do after the priest told you? I think mother can go to the guards , father, your legs are not good, but walking in animal form is easier than in human form, although you can't hunt, father, animal form can go to the guard team..."

"Zizai, we went to see the priest after we came back today. The priest said that we should live in the big cave tomorrow. Father and mother can't go to the guard team, at most they will follow the collection team." Humu interrupted Humu softly. Five words, after she finished speaking, she carefully looked at her cub, fearing that he would be too sad to bear.

Hu Wu was stunned for a while, and after understanding the meaning, he pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Ah... the priest said to go to Dadong. Yes, it is fine. Old people and children are so valued in the tribe, father Even if my mother goes to Dadong, she will definitely be able to live well, and I will bring meat to see you every day from now on."

Old people and children are valued in the tribe?Humu and Lang Wu looked at each other, they must be sad and stupid, how could the old man and children be valued by the tribe.

Hu Wu's head is very confused now, he doesn't know what he said at all, he is entangled with the images of the old people and children in the hill tribe laughing and laughing, and the injured old people and children of the Vine tribe who died of starvation and disease.For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was from the Vine Tribe and which one was from the Hill Tribe.

It can also be understood that when he knew that his father and mother were going to the big cave, he subconsciously convinced himself that the laughter and laughter of the hill tribe happened in the vine tribe.

Because Hu Wu couldn't bear that his father and mother would die of illness or starvation in the big hole in any ordinary night.

Obviously my father and mother have come back, why is he still so sad...

"I can't wait any longer. A fire festival will be held tonight." Fujiki walked around the cave with a wooden stick, as if thinking of something. He squatted in the corner of the cave and dug out a stone jar, and took out a handful of dried leaves from it. .

"Before lighting the fire, light the fan leaves and throw them into the cave. The smoke from the fan leaves can make the orcs stunned in a short time."

The head of the clan, Mao Teng, was stuffed with a lot of lost leaves, and subconsciously frowned, "So urgent? I haven't notified the clan yet, so wait a few more days."

Fujiki glanced at Catvine, and snorted, "What's the use of delaying these two days? Don't they have to die? Notify them now if they haven't been notified, but don't make a fuss. Find a few strong ones who can be the first to set fire to them." Time to block the hole with a boulder."

"By the way, call Humu and Langwu over when you're notifying them. Don't tell them it's a fire festival, just tell them to live in the big cave tonight, and go out to collect it early tomorrow morning." Fujiki finished speaking expressionlessly. , sit back on the hide.

"Why are Humu and Lang Wu also sacrificed by fire? Although they were injured, their orc status is still there..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The words behind the cat vine were interrupted by Fujiki, and he snorted coldly: "Their beastman level is still there, and their appetite is also there. No beastman can match these two in the hunting team except for Wolf Ye. You Think they are really hungry, can they listen to you well?"

"How do the priests know they can't?" Cat Vine roared uncontrollably.

"What are you shouting?" Fujiki looked sharply at the entrance of the cave, and then lowered his voice to reprimand when he saw nothing unusual, "Even if they are obedient, I can't afford to bet on them! The Vine Tribe must not experience another blow. This time, I will send All hidden dangers, all erased."

The last flood was the biggest mistake he made. He didn't listen to the advice of the priest of the Wood Tribe and caused the Vine Tribe to suffer heavy losses.Now, he has to rely on himself to let the vine tribe continue to move forward safely.

He will never make a second mistake.

Fujiki looked at Maoteng firmly, and said word by word: "I do this for the good of the tribe."

Maoteng was stunned by the terrifying emotion in those eyes, he felt that something was wrong.But for a long time, "obey the priest in everything" is a rule that cannot be removed from the body.

He closed his eyes weakly, then turned around and followed what Fujiki said.

"Lu Shi, get up, the patriarch has something to do with you."

Lu Shi rubbed his sore eyes, desperately trying to open them quickly.At this time, he was not so clear-headed and did not consciously think about why the patriarch asked him to do something so late, but he did what he said after hearing the words. When he ran out of the cave, he found that there were several orcs standing outside.

Only then did Lu Shi realize that there was no one in the hunting team except him.Those few people are not low in the guard team.

The evening breeze was cool, and Lu Shi followed the wind for a while, and then his consciousness began to gather.At this time, I heard the patriarch in the team say, "I came to you to listen to the priest's order to hold a fire sacrifice."

For the next time, Lu Shi felt that he could understand every word, but he couldn't understand the meaning of a sentence at all.

"Is the priest's intention to let Humu and Langwu be burned to death along with the old people and children in the big cave?"

Lu Shi didn't know what he said, he only knew that everyone was looking at him.

Maoteng didn't answer clearly, and after sending someone to call Humu and Langwu, he said, "Let's go."

Lu Shilu absent-mindedly followed behind the team, and when he reached the big cave, Hu Wu's parents had already entered the big cave.He was placed in the last place. Seeing the patriarch lighting the fan leaves and throwing them into the big hole, the orcs in front began to push the huge boulder with all their strength, but Lu Shi instantly softened his hands and feet.

The dull sound of boulders moving was like thunder exploding in my ears.Deer eleven dodged, and directly turned into Hu Wu's cave.

The movement of Lu Shi was not small, and the orcs who pushed the boulder noticed it and quickly looked at the cat vine.

Before the orcs could open their mouths, Maoteng said: "You don't need to worry about other things, push quickly, don't let Humu and Lang Wu find out, I'll go find Lu Shi."

Lu Shiyi ran to Hu Wu's cave all the way. Hu Wu was so sad that his parents left in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, but his mood fluctuated too much today, and he lay down with his eyes squinted.

Just when he was about to sleep, he was woken up by the sound of running fast outside, so he sat up and wanted to see what was going on, when he saw Lu Shi rushing in.

For some reason, Hu Wu's heart beat fast, and he didn't even dare to ask Lu Shi why he came here in the middle of the night.

"Fox Five." Lu Shi said quickly: "The night when the injured old man and the child died, you asked me if all tribes were like this, and I told you yes. Now, I want to tell you no, wood Horde is not."

Hu Wu stared at Lu Shi with wide eyes.

"I will wait for you to leave every day, and stand there for a while. I saw that day that every old man and child working in the Wood Tribe was treated the same as the orc warriors."

"The priest will burn all the orcs in the big cave to death, including your father and mother." Lu Shi did not continue to say, he pulled Hu Wu and said eagerly: "Go to the Mu tribe and ask their priests for help. Please. He took the orcs from Dadong to the Wood Tribe, and he will become a member of the Wood Tribe in the future. This is the only way to save them."

Hu Wu's first reaction was to rush towards the big hole, but Lu Shi stopped him, "I'm over there, hurry up, you're faster than me."

"Yes, I can run very fast." Hu Wu finally regained his sanity, and ran forward desperately after taking shape.Xiong San and Xiong Si, who were guarding in front of the tribe, felt a gust of wind rushing out of the tribe.

"Is it Hu Wu who ran out just now?" Xiong San asked.

"It should be, he was the red fox who ran so fast in the tribe."

Xiong San was puzzled and said, "What is he doing out so fast at such a late hour? Aren't you accompanying his parents?"

Xiong Si shook his head, "I don't know, wait for him to come back and ask."

The lost leaf has been burning for a while, and it's time to ignite it.But because their patriarch went to look for Lu Shi and hadn't returned yet, the orcs guarding the cave didn't dare to start the fire without orders.

Lu Shi wanted to wake up the other orcs, but he couldn't guarantee that those orcs would really stop the fire sacrifice against the priest's order.He gave up waking up the other orcs and ran back to the cave by himself.

The orcs guarding the big cave saw an elk rushing towards them without hesitation, and quickly dodged to the side. The orc who was almost flying off by the antlers looked shocked, "Deer Ten, are you crazy?"

Lu Shi stopped his feet, the ground was dusty, he shielded the big hole behind him, looked straight ahead, "I won't let you hold a fire sacrifice."

"What's the use if you don't let me? Do you think we want to? If you have the ability, go and convince the priest!"

"Get out of the way, the patriarch is walking behind you. Now that you are back, the patriarch will probably come back later. If you stand in front and delay things, you are not afraid that the patriarch will hit you!"

The patriarch followed him?Lu Shi was very puzzled. He didn't see the patriarch once, and he didn't even feel the breath.

Fujiki has been paying attention to the movement on the side of the big hole, but it has been a long time since the cat vine comes to report that the fire has been lit.

Thinking of Maoteng's attitude towards the fire festival, Fujiki felt a little uneasy. He stood up, supported the wooden stick and walked towards the big hole.
