7. Tiger Tribe (7)
. While Jiang Yu was thinking about how to complete his task, Yaqi was struggling.
"Do you want to send some herbs to Qi?"
Archie kept walking around his room with some healing herbs in his hand.
His face was flushed for a while and turned pale, and his expression was shy for a while but full of sadness.
Archie's father was almost stunned by his own child.
"What are you struggling with here, don't you just want to send herbs to Qi Xiaozi, such a big deal, what are you worried about, just send it over", Daddy looked at Archie's tangled expression on his face, and smiled very happily, "I know that Archie in our family has grown up and has his own careful thoughts, don't be shy, Daddy supports you!" β
Archie was hit by his father's heart, his face burned, his left hand grabbed his right hand, and he was a little at a loss, "I, I--"
Archie wanted to deny his father's speculation, but what Daddy said was also the truth, and he couldn't refute it.
The voice was very low, "But I'm just an orc, Qi is so good, he won't like me." β
Daddy touched Archie's fluffy little head, and his expression was very calm, "It's not up to you to decide whether you like it or not, you can't wait here to know the answer, why don't you fight for it yourself?" β
"Think about Qi's father, your teacher Yasuo, isn't he also an orc, didn't he also marry the patriarch and give birth to a little orc like Qi?"
Daddy narrowed his eyes, with a suspicious expression on his face, "Don't you think Yasuo is worthy of the patriarch?" β
Archie was startled and hurriedly shook his head, "No! No! Uncle Yasuo is exceptional, he is the person I admire the most. β
Daddy laughed suddenly, "Then what are you bothering about here, why can't you work hard to become a great orc like Yasuo?" β
Yaqi thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously, his expression was very solemn, "I will definitely work hard!" I'm going to be like Uncle Yasuo in the future! β
Daddy looked at Archie's appearance and was very satisfied, "Archie, you have to remember that we sub-orcs are no worse than orcs and females, and we can also be partners on an equal footing with orcs. β
"Although our fertility is much worse than that of females, and we can only have one child at most in our lifetime, our bodies are much stronger than females, we can learn our favorite herbs to our heart's content, and we can become excellent pharmacists."
"The injuries of the orcs depend on us to recover quickly."
"So, Archie, don't look down on yourself just because you're an orc, you have to have your own pride."
Looking at his father's gentle and strict expression, Yaqi suddenly felt the urge to cry for some reason.
Nodding vigorously, "I won't let Daddy down!" β
"Good boy", Daddy scratched Archie's little nose, and his voice was full of laughter, "Then why don't you go quickly?" β
"Hmm!" Archie nodded vigorously, and then ran out quickly.
When Yaqi went out, Daddy's expression began to become a little strange, and there was a kind of helplessness inside, "Yaqi is only seven years old, why did he like that kid Qi?" β
"When I was seven years old, I was still playing with mud."
After being cheered on by his father, Yaqi ran to Qi's door with the herbs in his hand.
After a moment of hesitation in front of the door, he knocked firmly on his door.
Unlike orcs and sub-orcs and females, they began to live independently at the age of fourteen, with the help of their father to build a house of their own.
After it was built, they lived there, not with their parents.
And Qi happens to be fourteen years old now, and he just moved into his current house a month ago.
Yaqi, who had plucked up his courage, couldn't stop beating faster the moment he opened the door.
"Thisβthis is for you!" , Archie had a generous expression on his face.
Qi was stunned when he saw Yaqi at the door, and then looked at him coldly, "What is this?" β
"Yesterday, yesterday I saw that you seemed to be injured", Archie was nervous, and he stammered a little at first, and slowly said more and more smoothly, "This is the herb I collected, as long as it is ground and applied to the wound, it will be good!" β
After that, Archie nodded vigorously as if he was afraid of Qi Buxin.
Qi glanced at him, didn't take the herb in his hand, and said in a cold tone, "You wait here." β
With that, he went straight back to the house.
Archie looked at the herbs that he hadn't given out in his hand, and was very depressed, and his heart ached a little.
"You actually found Brother Qi's house so shamelessly?!" At this moment, a voice full of disgust suddenly appeared behind Archie.
Archie turned his head and found that it was the proud Yaan.
My heart tightened slightly.
The number of times he had been bullied by Ya'an before could almost be said to be uncountable, and he was a little stunned to see him at this time.
As soon as the thought of avoiding arose, I remembered what Daddy had told me before I came.
Archie's gaze slowly became firm, he couldn't be so cowardly anymore, he wanted to be an excellent orc like Uncle Yasuo in the future!
Under Ya'an's pinprick gaze, he straightened his small chest.
Ya'an saw that Yaqi did not avoid his gaze as before, but looked directly at him without fear, and the disgust for him in his heart became even heavier.
Thinking that the last time he was embarrassed in front of the clan doctor uncle was because of this guy in front of him, Ya'an couldn't wait to tear him apart!
Isn't it just a waste who doesn't know anything, why is he so arrogant in front of himself!
His eyes moved to the herb in Ya'an's hand, and the expression on his face was full of mockery, "You still want to send medicine to Qi?!" β
"You don't want to think that just with your ability, you dare to give away medicinal herbs? Aren't you afraid that others will use your herbs to aggravate your injuries?! β
"It's really hard to climb up to the orcs, and you don't want any face", the malice in Ya'an's eyes seemed to be substance, "You really disgrace our orcs!" β
With that, Ya'an took two steps forward and snatched the herb from Yaqi's hand.
"It's an eyesore to keep these wastes, why don't I help you destroy them directly!"
Archie had a bad premonition when he saw Ya'an rushing over, and after hearing his words, his face turned pale.
No way! He must not let the herbs in his hands be destroyed by him!
Archie is full of feelings for medicinal herbs, and when Archie swallowed Ya'an's behavior before, even if his own herbs were taken away, he was only secretly sad in his heart, because no matter who was in his hands, these herbs were not wasted.
But now, Ya'an looks like he wants to throw these herbs directly to the ground and trample them up!
He will not allow it!
A courage that he had never had before filled his body, and Yaqi directly pushed Ya'an who stepped forward to snatch it away!
Ya'an didn't expect that Archie, who had never been weak and wasteful, would actually resist him, so he was defenseless when snatching, so that Hatchie's hard push directly pushed him to stagger two steps and fell heavily to the ground!
The sharp stone pierced into the palm of his hand, and the sharp pain made Ya'an cry instantly.
Hearing Ya'an's cry, Yaqi came to his senses and was a little panicked.
"How are you?" , Yaqi hurriedly ran to Ya'an's side, trying to help him up, but Ya'an cried loudly regardless of it, and pushed Yaqi away who came over.
Archie felt guilty in his heart, he didn't know that his impulsive action just now would hurt Ya'an.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door behind them.
Yaqi was at a loss, and his heart was very flustered, this scene Qi would definitely see!
What would he think?
He's going to be disgusted with me!
The more Archie thought about it, the more frustrated he became, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the unconsciously crystal droplets of water were already swirling in his eyes.
"Qi!" , Seeing Qi walking out of the door, Ya'an cried for a while, then cried louder, got up and threw himself at Qi.
Qi frowned when he saw Ya'an rushing over, and dodged sideways.
Ya'an rushed forward a few steps due to inertia, and only stopped alive before he almost hit the door frame.
"What's wrong?" , Qi walked up to Yaqi, whose eyes were red, and opened his mouth coldly.
Archie was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head a little uneasily, and Nono didn't dare to speak.
He felt that as long as he said it, he would never have a chance to see Qi again in the future, and Qi would definitely look at him with disgust and disgust.
"He hit me!" , Ya'an, who didn't pounce on the person next to him, cried violently, looking extremely painful, "I just wanted to see the herbs in his hand, and he beat me angrily!" β
"Not really!" Yaqi raised his head violently and shook his head vigorously towards Qi, "That's not the case, you believe me!" β
"What could it be like if it wasn't! Don't quibble! I will definitely tell the patriarch about the harm you have done to the clansmen, and let the patriarch expel you from the tribe!" Although Ya'an's voice was still crying, there was a trace of almost invisible jealousy in his eyes.
Ya'an's face turned pale violently, and he waved his hands in a panic, "It's really not like this, I didn't mean to!" β
Qi frowned, put his hand on the top of Ya'an's head a little stiffly, and after pausing for a moment, he patted it gently unnaturally, "Don't panic, speak slowly." β
The temperature above his head calmed Archie's flustered heart and looked at Qi with surprise.
Qi was a little stiff by his straight gaze, and then put his hand down and looked away uncomfortably.
