Genshin Impact [Outsider]

The man in black who abducted Xiao Lin Xi came to an open space, laid her on the grass and watched her quietly.

"Chief, the hunt is over." A man in black came up to him and said respectfully.

"Tell me about the situation." The clan leader touched Xiao Linxi's ear, then took out a hood from his arms and compared it with her little head.

"During this novice advanced hunting, three outsiders were hunted. Three hunters died during the process, and the remaining two finally completed the task."

After the man in black reported the situation, he kept an eye on the patriarch's reaction.

"Haha, to kill three people, I have to sacrifice three lives..."

The tribe leader smiled coldly, slowly stood up and continued: "To call them hunters is to insult the word. This class's level is only this low."

The man in black immediately responded flatteringly: "I will train the remaining two people strictly when I return, and I will never let you down again!"

The patriarch shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Chief, do you want to take this little orc away with you?"

The chieftain glared at him and asked angrily, "When did I tell you that this child is also prey?"

"I'm sorry, Chief. I overstepped my bounds! I will clean up the mess and begin the sacrifice right away..."

The man in black didn't dare to look up at him. He quickly bowed and apologized, then slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"Is sacrifice now a bad custom or a lasting glory..."

Xiao Lin Qian also slowly woke up at this time. She got up and looked around this strange place, looking at the man in black with confusion.

"Why am I here?" Xiao Linqian rubbed her eyes, and after making sure that she was not seeing things, she asked the man in black in front of her, "Where are my parents? Where did they go?"

"They went to a very far place and they won't be back for a while."

The clan leader leaned down slightly and said to Xiao Lin Qian who had a confused look on her face.

"It's very far away... Don't they want Xiao Linxi anymore? Did Xiao Linxi do something wrong..."

Xiao Lin Qian pinched her clothes, and a sad expression gradually appeared on her face.

The clan leader smiled and said, "Your parents entrusted you to me. As long as you are obedient, I will take you to find them when you grow up."

Tears kept flowing out of Xiao Lin Qian's eyes and she burst into tears sadly.

"Wow, they don't want Xiao Linxi anymore... Mom and Dad, I want to go find them..."

The clan leader gently stroked Xiao Linqian's head and comforted her:

"You will definitely be able to see your parents again in the future, as long as you are willing to work hard to grow up and become an excellent hunter."

Xiao Lin Qian raised her head and cried, with snot and tears streaming down her face.

"I will work hard to become a hunter... I want mom and dad..."

"Just be a good boy and come home with me."

The chief took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped her tears and nose, then took her hand and walked towards the village.

After arriving at the so-called village of the patriarch, we realized that it was just a stronghold located on the edge of the cliff.

However, there are at least several hundred people living here. After long-term cooperation, they have formed a complete survival system here.

Everyone has their own job, and they only need to complete the tasks assigned to them every day.

Fishing and growing wild fruits and vegetables are their main sources of food, followed by hunting and trading.

The clan leader brought Xiao Linxi back to the village. When everyone learned of his return, they gathered in front of the village gate and greeted the clan leader warmly.

But when they noticed Xiao Lin Qian, they couldn't help but talk again.

"Look at that child, he has a strange tail and ears. Why did the chief bring back an orc child?"

"Hush, don't question the clan leader. He must have his own reasons for doing this."

"But, that's a dirty orc. Look at her ears and tail. They're really different!"

……

Seeing the unfriendly looks from all around, Xiao Lin Qian hid behind the clan leader in fear.

"Meng'er, come here."

The chief saw a child in the crowd and waved his hand to signal him to come to him.

"What's the matter, Grandpa?" The boy named Meng'er put one hand in his trouser pocket and walked out of the crowd.

"From now on, you will be in a group with her during training. Do you understand?" The clan leader pulled Xiao Linxi in front of him, forcing her to face Meng'er.

"Huh?!" Meng'er stared at Xiao Linqian in confusion and asked, "Why do you want me to be in the same group with this weird girl? I don't like furry things."

"Okay, take good care of her and don't cause me any trouble." The clan leader pushed Xiao Linxi towards Meng'er and continued, "Take her to the training ground first to get familiar with her."

Xiao Lin Qian remained silent the entire time. She looked at the arrogant boy of the same age in front of her and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Okay, okay, grandpa has the final say."

Meng'er stretched out her hand helplessly and said to Xiao Linqian, "Strange little guy, come with me."

Xiao Lin Qian was a little hesitant. She turned her head to look at the clan leader and saw that the clan leader was just looking at the two of them with a smile and did not choose to protest.

She slowly took Meng'er's hand, and Meng'er took her and walked into the village.

Being dragged away by the boy in front of her, Xiao Lin Qian did not dare to resist at all. With her parents not around, she lost her strong support, so she did not dare to make a noise.

Along the way, the people around were discussing in surprise and pointing at Xiao Lin Qian.

After the two left, the clan leader waved his hand and said, "Don't crowd here, everyone go away... Also, I don't want to hear anyone say bad things about her, so keep your mouth shut."

Everyone was silent and slowly dispersed after the patriarch left.

Meng'er brought Xiao Linxi to a spacious training ground, then let go and found an open space to sit down by herself.

"You guys with long furry ears, just find a sport you like and train yourself."

Xiao Linqian looked at the surrounding facilities, shook her head hesitantly and said, "But... I haven't tried it yet, I don't know if it will work."

Meng'er glanced at her, scratched her head, stood up, took out a wooden sword from the shelf next to her and threw it to Xiao Lin Qian.

"Take it."

Xiao Lin Qian failed to catch the wooden sword, and hurriedly squatted down to pick it up.

"You're so stupid. Can't you even catch this?" Meng'er pointed impatiently at the wooden stake next to her, signaling her to chop it with the wooden sword.

"I..." Xiao Lin Qian bit her lip, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, raised the wooden sword high and swung it towards the wooden stake.

The wooden sword fell powerlessly on the wooden stake, and Meng'er chuckled.

"How stupid! Who would swing a sword in this way? Haha..."

"It's too heavy, I can't lift it..." Xiao Lin Qian explained aggrievedly, with her ears drooping.

"Hey, hey, you can't even lift it. How are you going to train with me in the future? It would be such a disgrace to me if you died on the first day of training!"

Meng'er snatched the wooden sword with disdain and swung it at the wooden stake, embedding the wooden blade directly into the training stake. Then she pulled it out violently and swung it towards the other side, directly cutting the wooden stake in half.

"I'm sorry..." Xiao Lin Qian clasped her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

Meng'er glanced at Xiao Linxi and after noticing that she was about to cry out of grievance, she stopped mocking her.

Meng'er threw the wooden sword aside and found a dagger on the weapon rack. He handed the dagger to Xiao Linqian and said:

"The wooden sword may be a bit heavy for a girl with long furry ears. Let's use this."

After Xiao Lin Qian took it, she lowered her head and held the dagger tightly, tears dripping on the dagger.

"Do you dislike me? Do you dislike Xiao Linqian's appearance?"

Looking at Xiao Lin Xi sobbing, Meng'er didn't know what to do for a moment. After all, this was his first time to come into contact with a girl of the same age.

Most of the boys in the village would train with their elders, so it was almost impossible for them to gather together.

Most girls would do manual labor at home, so there were very few girls who would be trained to become hunters.

Meng'er has always trained and kept to himself. In his spare time, he never plays with other children because it is too childish for him to do so.

What's more, he has long been accustomed to being alone, and his training level is much better than other people of the same age, so he is even more disdainful of communicating with them.

"Why are you still crying? Stop crying. Although I don't like strange furry girls, I don't hate you either."

"Really...?" Xiao Lin Qian wiped her tears and looked up at Meng'er.

As soon as she arrived in the village, Xiaolin Qian noticed that she was the only one here with cat ears and a tail.

She also realized that the people in the village didn't seem to like the way she looked, but no one had ever disliked her because of her appearance, and no one thought she was different because of it.

But after arriving at the village, she discovered that everyone here seemed to be normal except herself, and she was the only one who was abnormal...

Meng'er nodded helplessly and responded: "You do look weird, but to be honest I don't hate you. On the contrary, I feel a little bit..."

He didn't say anything else, but a slight blush appeared on his face, but he soon returned to his previous bored look.

“They all seem to hate me…”

Xiao Lin Qian said this, slowly looking at the people busy in the village. She didn't know if she could fit in here, nor did she know when she could leave.

"Yeah, they hate everyone except themselves..." Meng'er looked at the people in the village with disdain, and then said: "Don't worry, they won't do anything to you."

"If I train hard and help hard, will they like me?" Xiao Linqian looked at Meng'er, then looked at the dagger in her hand and asked.

“Maybe, you furry-eared fellow, your name is Xiaolin Qian?

"Meng'er still remembers that the silly girl in front of her seemed to call herself this.

Xiao Lin Xi nodded and responded: "Lin Xi..."

Meng'er nodded to show that she understood.

"Okay, little Lin Qian with furry ears, you will train with me from now on. But by the way, do you know why the old man brought you back with him?"

Xiao Linqian replied: "Grandpa said that when I grow up and become an excellent hunter, he will take me to find my parents."

"So that's how he brought you back?"

Seeing Xiao Lin Qian nod, Meng'er had more or less guessed what had happened.

"This old man, why is he suddenly so kind this time..."

Xiao Lin Qian asked in confusion: "What...?"

Meng'er shook her head and said, "Nothing, just some of my personal fantasies."

He gathered his thoughts and focused on the current matter. He continued to say to Xiao Linxi, "Let's talk about this in the evening. Xiao Linxi with furry ears, start training!"

Meng'er took Xiao Linxi to try various training facilities, and then wrote down the training methods that were more suitable for her.

Evening soon arrived. Looking at the dark sea of ​​dust, Meng'er stretched and said, "Let's stop here today. We will continue training tomorrow."

He picked up the notebook and looked at the records of various tests on Xiaolin Qian, then shook his head helplessly.

"You are the most thorough person I have ever met. You have the lowest overall ability, and then your physical fitness, endurance, agility, etc. are all the lowest..."

"The lowest..." Although Xiao Lin Qian knew that her results would be very bad, she did not expect them to be so bad.

Meng'er was not surprised at all. After all, Xiao Lin Qian couldn't even hold the dagger correctly, let alone practice swinging the blade.

"Yes, it's the lowest. But forget it if you want to improve now. Just follow me home and have dinner first."

Meng'er curled her lips, ignored Xiao Linqian, put away her notebook and walked towards the village near the steep cliff.

Xiao Lin Qian did not dare to delay and immediately put down her training equipment and followed.

Although the half-day exercise did not make the two of them sweat, for Xiao Lin Qian, everything was already very hard.

She was already exhausted both physically and mentally, and now all she wanted was to find a place to have a good sleep.

"Little Lin Xi with furry ears, when you go back later, if my grandfather is here too, don't respond casually, just eat your meal."

"Huh?" Xiao Lin Qian was a little confused. The impression left on her by the clan leader was that he was kind and amiable, so she was not that afraid of him.

"Anyway, you should answer whatever he asks you. Just remember this."

Meng'er didn't explain any more and quickened his pace to go home. Xiao Linqian trotted behind him, looking playful and cute.

Some villagers on the road just looked at Xiao Lin Qian coldly after seeing her, while some villagers simply ignored her existence. It seemed that no one here welcomed her as an outsider.

Xiao Linqian lowered her ears, tried not to think about the way they looked at her, and just followed Meng'er closely.

She didn't notice until Meng'er stopped.

Xiao Lindu stopped when he bumped into Meng'er's back. He covered his forehead with his hands and looked at him in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng'er didn't answer her, but just stared quietly at the men in black in front of her.

"The sacrifice is finally completed. I'm so tired..." said a man in black, stretching lazily.

"That's right. The chief seems to be in a bad mood after this operation. It's better for us to visit him less recently."

The accompanying men in black responded, and several of them walked towards Meng'er.

"I can't help it. Three of the five advanced players died. I'd be angry if I wasn't angry too."

"Shh, the young master is in front..."
