Chapter Seventy-Two: Orcs Gossip Too
Although Yao has been running very steadily, he has been nesting in Yao's arms for several hours in a row, maintaining a movement, and people are still very uncomfortable.
Anxin felt that his whole body was numb, and he felt a lot of pain when he moved, and he wanted to stop and rest, but now it was dark.
It's already dangerous for them to hurry, and it's even more dangerous to stop and rest now, Anxin doesn't want to delay them because of himself, so he has no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere, telling himself to hold on a little longer, and he will soon be in the tribe.
"It's almost there" I don't know how long it took, I don't know who shouted, this sentence is simply a natural sound for Anxin.
Looking up ahead, I saw a fire in the distance. It's finally coming, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
When traveling at night, you must pay attention to your surroundings at all times to prevent wild beasts or other creatures from attacking, which makes the already tired people have to be vigilant, and the nerves that have been tense can finally relax a little when they see the fire of the tribe.
You know, the intuition of beasts is also very accurate, it is easy to sense whether there is danger or not, like this orc gathering place, ordinary beasts are not so bold to attack, of course, individual ones are not excluded.
In short, when it comes to the perimeter of the tribe, safety is guaranteed.
On the other side of the tribe, the Darley patriarch has been waiting at the door of the tribe for a long time, walking back and forth, his eyes looking in the direction in front from time to time, and sometimes muttering something in his mouth, but his voice is so small that even the orcs with very sensitive ears can't hear what he is saying clearly.
"Why haven't you come back yet, you should have come back already?" Maybe it's a father-son connection! Since the afternoon, the patriarch has had a bad feeling, and he always feels that something is going to happen, and he can't stay in the tree house, so he waits for them to come back directly in front of the tribe.
I waited until it was dark, and the more I waited, the more anxious I became. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't walk away now, he would have wanted to take someone to find them.
According to Yao, the salt mine should not be far from here, and it is more than wrong to go back and forth in a day.
Even if it's the first time to go, it will take a little time if the road is not familiar, and I should have come back a long time ago.
If you can't find it, you should have come back earlier, why haven't you come back yet? He had a faint bad feeling in his heart.
Of course, if it is usual, it is normal for Yao and them to come back the next day, but today the patriarch has been restless, always feeling that something is going to happen, and he faintly feels that Yao and they may have had an accident, which makes the patriarch very worried.
At this time, there were already many people standing next to the patriarch, all wondering what the patriarch was doing?
"What do you say the patriarch is doing?" Someone couldn't help but ask the people around them who also came to join in the fun.
The patriarch has been going back and forth like this for a long time.
"The patriarch is anxious, could it be that someone is going to attack our tribe?" An orc on the side said his guess with a frightened expression.
In addition to this, he couldn't think of any other possibility, the patriarch's temperament was very steady, and he looked so anxious, but there were very few, it must have happened in the tribe, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
"No, if someone had attacked our tribe, the patriarch would have informed us a long time ago," orc B immediately retorted.
If there really was a tribe attacking them, their tribe would have started preparing long ago.
"That is, if there really is a tribe that wants to attack us, the patriarch will have asked us to prepare a long time ago." Another orc C retorted, how serious it is to be attacked, how can they not know anything now?
"If there was really going to be a fight, the tribe would have prepared martial law a long time ago, hiding the females and cubs in the tribe." As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately seconded the orc. Females and cubs are the hope of the tribe, and if anything happens, they are the first to be protected.
The orc who was refuted touched his nose with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Well, he also felt that there was a lot of truth in what they said, and that it was unlikely that they would attack their tribe.
"Then what are you talking about the patriarch doing?" Although his own statement was not reliable, he didn't believe that they knew why the patriarch was suddenly like this.
Suddenly, everyone was silent, and after a few seconds, everyone began to talk about it again.
"You said it could be that the patriarch was not feeling well, and the witch doctor asked him to walk more. You see, I've been walking back and forth like this since the afternoon, and I haven't stopped" Immediately, some people speculated that some females in the tribe gave birth, and the witch doctor explained it like this, I heard that it was easier to give birth, could it be like this when the patriarch walked around like this?
Fortunately, the patriarch at this time was not in the mood to listen to their discussion, otherwise he would definitely spray them in the face. Why did he have anything to do with having a baby?
"Nonsense, then you can walk if you are not feeling well" The person who retorted with a look on his face, are you teasing me? An expression of disbelief.
"My partner gave birth, and the witch doctor said that it would be better to walk more, so that it would be easier to have children" Seeing that others didn't believe it, the orc continued to say with a serious face.
"Hahaha" The scene was silent, and after a few seconds, there was a loud laugh.
"You're so funny"! The man who spoke couldn't stand up straight when he smiled.
Seeing the puzzled look on the orc's face, everyone laughed even more.
………… The scene is getting more and more lively, the sound is getting louder and louder, and more and more people are joining, and there are all kinds of speculations.
Sure enough, no matter in that era, there will be no shortage of gossipy people.
