Abduction of the Orcs

Go straight to the east, cross three high mountains, walk through a swamp, and bypass a lake.

The sky was dark blue, and the sun had not yet risen in the direction of the white riding beast.

Taking advantage of the weather, the man set off early and did not intend to rest.

On the road heading east, there are several small tribes. The man looked down at Aning’s sleeping appearance. After thinking for a while, he decided to take a detour to exchange some supplies. He originally planned to inform when he returned. Their tribal conduct.

The man wrapped Aning's animal skin tightly. He specially brought it out for the female to use as a quilt. He was riding the animal at high speed. The wind was very strong and loud. The man was worried that he would wake Aning up. Last night, Aning Did not sleep well.

Maybe it was because of crying, Aning didn't wake up until the sun rose above his head. In this plain leading to the three high mountains, there is not much cover, mostly low plants, and the sun shines directly on the plain. Plants with extremely strong vitality grow lush green, but Aning, who was placed under the shadow of the riding beast, woke up hot. He looked at the white beast blocking him in a daze, and forgot how he was here .

Aning, who was suffering from a headache from sleep, pressed his fingers hard on his temples, not understanding why the weather was so hot.

After pressing it for a while, Aning finally remembered what happened this morning. He glanced around and squinted at the moving black dot in the distance. The rapidly growing black dot made him turn his head in embarrassment. When he saw the man, he thought of himself Ah Ning, who is not too thick-skinned, felt awkward about what he promised last night.

This side is still twitching, while the man over there has already carried a cloth bag and ran to the temporary resting place.

"A-Ning." The man who was obviously in a good mood called out, and handed the water bag and scarf to A-Ning whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Ah Ning blushed more and more.

As soon as Aning finished washing, the man took the gauze from his hand very courteously, and stuffed the cloth bag into his hand.

Aning, who was about to put the gauze towel there to dry, saw the gauze and the cloth bag change places in a blink of an eye, which made Aning flush even more. I was so hungry that I didn't refuse this Chinese food.

"It's too hot in the afternoon, let's rest here for a while." The man said softly, and carefully tightened the water bag. The speed of riding the beast is too fast, and it is easy to lose it if it is not tied tightly.

"Hmm." Ah Ning nodded sullenly, rubbing the fruit out of the leather bag, still slightly cool, Ah Ning looked up and peeked at the sweat dripping from the man's forehead, and the hand holding the fruit trembled slightly one time.

"...Where did you find it?" Aning's mouth moved slightly, and he asked for a long time.

The man's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Ah Ning's lowered head and the hand holding the fruit.

"I borrowed it from Carey."

"Very beautiful." Aning replied softly, nibbling the fruit in his hand.

"How do you like it?"

"Ah."

"I'll grab one for you."

"Need not……"

For a moment, the two of them were two steps apart and started talking slowly, Aning asked carefully, and the man answered carefully.

One wanted to talk, the other wanted to talk to him, gradually hiding in the shadows, the two forgot the weather and the time, just like that, you whispered and I whispered, talking slowly.

The hot wind came from the west, bringing a bit of coolness to the two people traveling east. The white beast led slowly by the man let out a low growl. The roar was long and not harsh at all. Listen attentively to what the man is saying.

"The patriarch asked me to go to the eastern tribe to inform that the harvest festival will be held in our tribe next year."

"Harvest Festival?"

"It is a festival to express gratitude to the forest. Once every three years, a tribe must be selected as the center for celebrating the harvest festival. Once the tribe is selected as the center, the tribe must send four teams to the four directions of the four directions If there is no notification, other tribesmen will not come even if they know about it.”

"Four teams?"

"There are many dangers on this land, and it is safer to travel with companions."

"Then what do you do? I... don't know anything." Aning said dimly.

"I'm great." The man said seriously.

"Well," Aning smiled at the confident male, "I believe in you."

"...The Harvest Festival is very interesting. It lasts... for one month. Each tribe will bring their special products in exchange for the special products of other tribes. You will be able to see many things. There is a kind of competition every day, comparing wine making and strength , compared to prey, compared to clothes... On the last day, it will be counted which tribe gets the most number one, and this tribe can choose ten items from the items brought by other tribes, and can also ask other tribes to perform a show. The last time was Our tribe won, and the patriarch asked each tribe to send a male wearing gauze to dance the bird dance." Seeing Aning's puzzled eyes, the man explained, "The Harvest Festival is a festival to be happy, and the bird dance is very... very elegant Dance, the female dances beautifully." Ah Ning thought about it, and the male danced elegantly in a flowing gauze...he laughed out loud, and the man laughed too, and continued, "The last time, I was too young to be able to dance." Go, I heard that the patriarch was also a male who was pushed out to perform at that time, and asked to perform a cute animal." Aning was overjoyed, he always knew that his smile was not high, but he didn't expect it to be so low, but when he thought of those Tall and strong males, dancing, performing, Ah Ning's stomach hurts again.

The man put his arms around Ah Ning, who was laughing to and fro, with the corners of his mouth slightly bent, until Ah Ning finally stopped smiling, and said, "On the last day, there will be the largest bonfire party. Everyone will drink and eat meat together. Let's dance together till dawn."

"It must be interesting."

"Well, you're sure to like it."

The wind from the plain was blowing in no direction, and the knee-length grass swayed from side to side. Looking at the grass, Ah Ning suddenly made up his mind. He looked up at the quiet man. He felt warm and happy being blocked by the man's shadow. , Aning, who felt that he would not have many chances to go home, decided to let go of his sudden and inexplicable self-esteem, and began to get used to his new identity, the role of being cared for.

This is what life is all about, Ah Ning thought, at the beginning he was not used to the city, but he lived in the city for more than ten years, and he was not used to living alone, but he lived alone for nearly ten years, now he is not used to being a female , but one day he will get used to it, and time will make him get used to it.
