Chapter 244: Tired Eyes
After working for so long, it was naturally dark, and all the orcs who had gone out hunting had returned.
Everyone made a hearty dinner, and suddenly the aroma of food filled the air.
Li Shenghui was naturally hungry after working for so long, so he couldn't wait to take a skewer of barbecue and eat it.
The orcs danced happily around the campfire, and people came and went.
"Brother, I want to eat too. Li Shenghui was naturally indispensable to Li Yuan, looking at his younger brother looking at him with a pleading face, Li Shenghui had no choice but to take a skewer of barbecue again and stuff it into his hand.
Because Li Shenghui didn't feed himself, Li Yuan was a little disappointed, and he took a bite of the barbecue hard.
"I didn't expect us to be lucky enough to come to this place and have so many delicious foods. Mu Mu saw that Li Shenghui's side was a little empty, so he leaned over.
Li Shenghui glanced at him coldly, thinking to himself, if I didn't bring you here, where would you find such a good place?
Seeing that Li Shenghui was not willing to take care of himself, Mu Mu was not brainy, anyway, he had long been used to it.
After eating and drinking, everyone closed their eyes, and all that remained in the night was the sound of everyone's gentle breathing, except for the flickering fire.
The occasional roar of a beast in the distance was recalled, but that didn't stop everyone from having a good night's rest.
Li Shenghui sat in a daze, he didn't fall asleep, because he had been taking care of tomorrow.
The food around them has been stripped of all the food, and they are not fit to continue living in this place. What he feared most was that the beasts would catch up, and it would be very inconvenient for them to escape in this place.
"Brother, aren't you still sleeping?" Li Yuan was already very sleepy at this time, and he was also growing his body, and it was easy to doze off when he sat down.
Li Shenghui shook his head, although he was very sleepy, he really couldn't sleep.
"I'm not sleepy yet, you go to sleep first, I'll sleep later. Li Shenghui gently stroked Li Yuan's head, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Li Yuan was about to fall asleep, but when he heard Li Shenghui say this, he suddenly couldn't sleep. He hurriedly got up from where he was lying, took Li Shenghui's hand and walked to the place where he was sleeping.
Although Li Shenghui wanted to shake off his hand, after hesitating for a while, he still didn't shake it off.
After Li Yuan pulled Li Shenghui to sit down, his mouth began to talk endlessly, his voice was very small, but Li Shenghui, who was sitting next to him, could hear it clearly.
"Aren't you sleepy? Why don't you sleep yet?" Li Shenghui didn't want to listen anymore, what he said was nothing more than persuading himself to rest early, but he couldn't sleep at all.
"I'm going to wait for my brother to sleep, I'll go to sleep. Li Yuan looked at Li Shenghui very insistently, as if Li Shenghui didn't give him an explanation, he would continue to watch like this.
Li Shenghui held his forehead very helplessly, and although he couldn't sleep, he still lay down.
He closed his eyes tightly, and after a long while, he saw that there was no sound around him, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
He turned his head to look at Li Yuan and found that he was already asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then closed his eyes again.
After all, he has to find a place to live tomorrow, and if he doesn't sleep now, he is afraid that he will run out of energy tomorrow.
A big wooden house is densely packed with people, Li Shenghui sighed a little. There should have been more of them, but all the old orcs remained in the tribe.
Thinking like this, Li Shenghui quickly fell asleep, but he didn't fall asleep for long, and a sound woke him up.
He heard it clearly, it was footsteps, and gradually walked towards the house.
The footsteps were still far away from them, but gradually they got closer and closer, and even reached the perimeter of the wooden house.
The patrolling orcs seemed to notice the situation, and they all raised their stone knives and shouted, "Who's there?"
The breeze blew softly, and there was silence all around, and the footsteps stopped as they spoke.
Li Shenghui quietly got up from where he was lying, he didn't want to alarm others.
He found where his father was lying and saw that his father was also standing up.
"Father, what the hell is going on outside? I seem to hear footsteps. Li Shenghui pulled up the corner of the patriarch's clothes, and he was also very scared in the face of such a situation.
The patriarch slowly walked to the door, and the people patrolling outside talked about it after seeing the patriarch.
Li Shenghui looked at the dark surroundings, he was still a little scared. But with so many people around, he wasn't so scared.
"You mean someone just came here, but you didn't see it, you just heard it, didn't you?" the patriarch quickly glanced around, and when he saw that there was nothing out of the orc, he turned his head to look at the orcs.
The patrolling orcs trembled and said, "Yes!"
"You go on looking around, two people must walk together, not alone. If you are in any danger, remember to raise your voice for help. The patriarch instructed the patrolling orcs to look around, and the orcs obediently left.
Li Shenghui was a little worried about their safety, after all, sometimes people are more terrible than wild beasts.
But it was useless for him to worry, everyone had already left, and all he could do now was to stand still and wait for everyone's news.
"Father, did you say it could be someone we know?" Although Li Shenghui was very scared, he felt that he still needed to know something.
The patriarch was also stunned when he heard him say this, "How can it be the people we know? Aren't all the people we know inside?"
Li Shenghui thinks it's right, so that means that someone else has come here?
Now it is not known whether the other party is friendly or dangerous, and they cannot act rashly.
"Father, do we need to continue looking for that person now?" Li Shenghui continued to look around, hoping to see some clues that would allow him to find the person.
The patriarch shook his head slightly, a very serious expression on his face. "Now everyone is very tired, as long as we guard this door, the other party is alone, it is impossible to create too much chaos. ”
Although Li Shenghui wanted to find that person very much, his father disagreed, so he had to turn around and go back.
The patriarch still stood at the door and looked hard, ignoring Li Shenghui who had left.
Li Shenghui walked halfway and then went back, he still didn't feel at ease, not to mention that he couldn't sleep a little now.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered the footsteps, and then he couldn't wait, and got up and looked around, only to find that there was no one walking.
The orcs who had gone out on patrol soon returned, and one of them was wounded in the hand. They walked up to the patriarch in frustration and bowed their heads.
"I'm sorry Patriarch, we saw the man, but let him run anyway. The wounded orc felt very uncomfortable, and his head was lowered even lower, and he even bent down.
The patriarch didn't blame him, "It's okay, you guys have a good rest, it's hard tonight." ”
The patrolling orcs returned to the house with tears in their eyes, and another group of patrolling orcs came out.
The patriarch was still standing in the doorway, directing them to patrol the surroundings, and the orcs also went to patrol.
Li Shenghui also stood there for a long time, and he didn't know what he could do now, so he could only accompany his father silently.
It wasn't dark for long, so the orcs around them were still asleep.
After Li Shenghui stayed for a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided to go and see for himself what it was?
"Father, I want to follow them too. After Li Shenghui said this, he didn't wait for the patriarch's answer, and left quickly.
He walked towards the place where he had last heard a sound, a dense bush of grass. Since it was night, he could not see very clearly, although he was holding a torch.
Although he also knew that the target of holding the torch was too obvious, he was a little scared, and he needed the light to give him courage.
Pulling a thick stick at random, Li Shenghui gently waved the grass. But after he walked for a long time, he found nothing.
It's just that how could Li Shenghui give up so easily? So he hurriedly changed places, and he was familiar with the neighborhood, so he quickly walked around several corners.
He walked through the neighborhood and found nothing, much to his frustration.
Just as he turned around and wanted to go back, a person suddenly jumped out behind him, which scared Li Shenghui enough.
He hurriedly raised the stone knife in his hand, his hand trembling a little, but finally he mustered up the courage to look back.
When he saw the person behind him, he grew his mouth in surprise, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"Why, don't you know me?" a handsome man walked up, his body slender but his arms a little thick.
"Ah" Li Shenghui threw himself into his arms very happily when he saw that person, he never dreamed that the footsteps he heard were actually his other father.
Holding the slender body in his arms, Li Shenghui said a little sadly, "You have lost weight, you must have suffered a lot these days." Why would your father leave you alone?"
The man smiled slightly, "I'm going to collect medicine, in fact, I've been following you all along, but you haven't found out." ”
"Why would your father let you go to collect medicine alone?" Li Shenghui was still very unhappy that he had never seen his own Ah, but he didn't want to say so much now.
He just wanted to take his Ah Mo back to rest well, looking at his tired eyes, Li Shenghui felt very guilty.
If it weren't for the beasts he had attracted, no one in the tribe would have fled, and without fleeing there would have been no injury. He didn't need to pick herbs, and when he thought of this, he couldn't wait to fight those beasts to the death by himself.
But he couldn't do that, and if he went alone, not only would he not be able to stop the beasts, but he would also bring danger to everyone.
"What about your brother? Is he very old now?" the man seemed to think of something, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Li Shenghui remembered Li Yuan's confession to him, and a chill suddenly felt in his heart. Although he has now become a child, he still confesses to himself.
Although I feel very pitiful about him, it is impossible to be with him because of his pity.
"He's grown up a lot now, and not only can he eat on his own, but he's even able to fight wild beasts. Li Shenghui raised his head with some pride, he felt that he taught his younger brother very well.
