Chapter 17: Summer (3)

When the sky was slightly bright, they set off, in order to hurry, everyone was simple, only brought some necessary things, the leopard clan is not very far from here, but they have to climb over many mountains, fortunately, the orc's feet are very fast, even after a few days of travel, Gu Xi did not feel tired, on the contrary, sitting on Huo Bai's back, it was cool and comfortable.

They were all in a hurry along the way, except for eating and sleeping at night, the three of them would not stay too much, Gu Xi didn't have time to observe the plants around him, so he didn't find any new food, but he found cherries, at first he thought it was a chili pepper, and when he was resting, he saw a red patch from a distance, and when he got closer, it was a cherry! It's red, it's the size of a cherry, and because it's ripe, there's only a little bit of sourness in your mouth, and your mouth is full of cherry sweetness! It's delicious, Huo Bai and Tong Xiu also tasted it, and they also thought it was very good, the sub-beast must be very fond of eating.

Gu Xi unceremoniously picked half of the leather bag cherries, planning to eat them on the road, after all, they were going to be ripe, and when they turned back, they would have to fall to the ground and rot, it was better to pick and eat them all now, the cherries should be just over the rainy season, and the cherries should be ripe when the summer just came, and the cherries must be picked early in the coming year, and it is best to transplant them back.

The three of them picked cherries and immediately went on the road, and after two days of driving, they entered the hunting area of the leopard clan, and it was estimated that they would be able to reach the leopard clan in the afternoon, Gu Xi couldn't see it, but there was always a way to distinguish the smell among the orcs, as long as they smelled it, they could determine what race was nearby.

So when Huo Bai went inside, the orcs of the leopard clan who were hunting outside were immediately alert, and the hunting team of twenty people met Huo Bai and the three of them early because they were far away from the tribe, they knew Huo Bai, knew that Huo Bai was the son of the patriarch of the tiger clan, and now he was the patriarch, and they learned what happened to the tiger clan from the mouth of the lame orc.

The leader is an adult leopard, his forehead has a black long pattern, this is the patriarch's son orc Ji Liang, the leopard clan's beast shape is not as huge as the tiger clan, slightly slender, but in Gu Xi's opinion, it is still so huge.

"Huo Bai, we meet again" Ji Liang and Huo Bai have fought each other, the relationship between the two is actually quite good, because they are both the sons of the patriarch, the two clans will always fight each other when they gather, the two are on par with each other, the leopard has the speed of a leopard, and the tiger has the ferocity of a tiger.

"I heard about your tribe from that guy, and I'm going to send something over during the harvest season, what are you doing here?" Ji Liang asked.

"We're here to find Xie Wen," Huo Bai said bluntly.

Ji Liang snorted: "Wasn't that guy abandoned by the Tiger Clan, if it weren't for the fact that he was the bloodline of our Leopard Clan, how could he take him in, just because my mother and father were kind." In fact, Xie Wen's identity is well known to the entire tribe.

"Ji Liang, the bear clan has a very strict disease, many people have died, and this disease is contagious"

When Ji Liang heard this, he immediately became stern: "I'll take you to see your mother and father, let's go quickly." ”

Gu Xi couldn't help but be curious in his heart, this sounded, how could the leopard clan seem to be Ji Liang's mother and father in charge, but it was really a big gossip.

"Huo Bai, your sub-beast is so beautiful!" Ji Liang walked forward, staring at Gu Xi on Huo Bai's back, white and pure, very small appearance, compared with the sub-beasts in the tribe, it was really much more beautiful, originally he had heard Xie Wen say that Huo Bai of the Tiger Clan had a sub-beast, and the whole tribe was led by the nose by this sub-beast, of course he would not listen to Xie Wen's nonsense, but only guessed that it must be a very capable sub-beast.

"Hello, I'm Gu Xi" Gu Xi is used to being praised by orcs like this, anyway, it doesn't matter if he praises it, it is true that he is much smaller than the sub-beasts of this world, although he has been working very hard, but the height is fixed there, it must not be changed, and the first impression can only be small.

Ji Liang saw that he was generous, and he had some good feelings in his heart, so he thought, the person Huo Bai fell in love with would never be far behind, alas, I don't know when he will meet the sub-beast he likes.

The group came to the tribe of the leopard clan under the leadership of Ji Liang, it was really a big tribe, Gu Xi looked at it curiously, the houses here are also made of stone, but they are not as delicate as their tiger clan, and there are also groups of small leopards scurrying around in the square in the central area, and every house is sunbathed in large or small animal skins.

Everyone stared at him curiously, the people in the Leopard tribe had seen Huo Bai and Tong Xiu, they were excellent orcs of the Tiger Clan, and there were many sub-beasts who liked them, and they were all very curious when they heard that Huo Bai had a partner.

Ji Liang's house is in the central area, several large rooms, leaving a large living room in the middle, so as to deal with the affairs of the clan at ordinary times, Ji Liang's mother and father Qiu Xian discussed things with the people in the clan in the living room, he is a very tall man, his figure is different from the burly of the Tiger Clan, he is very slender, his long black hair is neatly tied behind him, and the most brilliant thing is the deep eyes, in Gu Xi's opinion, there are some Uygur appearance characteristics, very good-looking, and some of the heroism of men.

"Mother, Huo Bai is here, he has something important" Ji Liang said, went to the house, and when he came out, he was already human, and he was really a handsome man, even more handsome than his mother and father, and his eyes were exactly the same deep.

Qiu Xian saw that his son's face was very grim, and he knew that things must be very strict, so he hurriedly asked everyone in the clan to leave.

"The bear clan has a contagious disease, and many people have died, let's come to Xie Wen, he may have a life-saving thing left by his mother and father, it is an animal skin" Huo Bai said the matter succinctly.

When Qiu Xian heard this, he couldn't help frowning, he also heard the old clan mention that there was such a situation in a tribe a long time ago, which was equivalent to a disaster of extermination.

"Huo Bai, you guys are waiting here, I'll send someone to call Xie Wen, he lives far away" Qiu Xian said, his face was normal, and he didn't seem to care that this was his partner's illegitimate child.

In fact, he really didn't care at all, when he was young, he was very nonsense, relying on his father to be the patriarch and not causing trouble, he fell in love with Ji Kang completely because Ji Kang was the best-looking orc in the tribe, he was not sensible at that time, regardless of the opposition of the family, he married Ji Kang, who already had a partner, who knows, the two personalities are very discordant, he is pampered by the family, he has a hot temper, he is very strong, Ji Kang is also a strong personality, the two stumbled, had two children, and lived reluctantly for the children for many years, It was finally over when Xie Wen returned.

Ji Kang is a person who wants to be the patriarch but doesn't have that ability, when he was young, he was very popular in the clan because of his good looks, so he thought he was very powerful, and when he really took over the position of the patriarch, he couldn't do anything, without Qiu Xian's help for so many years, he would have taken the position of the patriarch, and when Xie Wen appeared, it was really like his mother and father, Ji Kang wanted to recognize it back, where was Qiu Xian willing to let it, the two fell out, Qiu Xian directly convened a clan meeting, and pushed Ji Liang to the position of patriarch.

The people in the clan already knew what kind of virtue Ji Kang was, and they unceremoniously supported Ji Liang, fortunately, the two brothers of the Ji family were not crooked at all under the education of their mother and father, and the patriarch of the orc tribe was originally a strong man, and Ji Liang was already good enough.

Now Ji Kang and Xie Wen live in a house on the edge of the tribe, father and son depend on each other, Qiu Xian and Ji Liang are deeply loved in the clan, and they don't dare to look for trouble, so they can only live honestly.

Soon Xie Wen was brought over, and Ji Kang was afraid that something would come with him.

Gu Xi looked at Xie Wen, looking at his appearance, he was much thinner and darker than when he came out of the Tiger Clan, and then looked at Ji Kang, sure enough, he had a good appearance, and Ji Liang inherited his nose and mouth a little.

Xie Wen has been a lot more honest recently, he was not welcomed when he came here, and because of his appearance, his father lost the position of the patriarch, and the people in the tribe looked down on their father and son, and no one wanted to associate with them, which was even more miserable than in the Tiger tribe, which was different from what he originally thought, he had no choice but to follow his father to hunt with the hunting team every day, two orcs, and the prey was enough to live, and this gradually got better, but he was still very lonely in the tribe, fortunately, He also had a father, although his father always beat and scolded him.

"Xie Wen, your mother and father, there used to be a painted animal skin, is it still there?" Huo Bai was not polite.

Xie Wen looked at Huo Bai a little timidly, shrunk his head, and didn't dare to move, he was a little weak when he saw Huo Bai now, at the beginning, Huo Bai had also persuaded him, but he didn't listen, and blamed the Tiger Clan.

"Yes...... I took all my mother's and father's things and brought them over" Xie Wen still has a lot of respect for his mother and father, and he has put away all the things left by his mother and father.

"Then, go get it, let's see!" Everyone was very happy.

Xie Wen nodded hurriedly and ran out, but his father Ji Kang was still standing at the door, looking at Qiu Xian in the house, Qiu Xian ignored him, Ji Liang had no choice but to walk over: "Father, mother and father will not reconcile with you, go back quickly" My father has never taken care of the two brothers since he was a child, and they are all brought by his mother and father, so their relationship with their mother and father is even closer.

Ji Kang could only blush, nodded silently, and stood by the door.

Xie Wen hurriedly wrapped it back with an animal skin, put the things on the stone table, there were several animal skins inside, which were very well preserved, I don't know what material was used, they all painted different herbs, and there was no written record, most of them were patterns, Gu Xi couldn't understand it, and everyone couldn't understand it, this should be left by an old doctor.

"In that case, let's take them all and rush to the bear clan together."
