Why did they forget that every time the priest came to help Mu Bai, the two often stood on the same front, just like their own father and son...

Oh no, according to the priest's age, he can probably be Mu Bai's grandfather.

Gu Da and his wife returned to their house, and Gu Mo was sitting on the bed, swinging his legs and playing with straw. Seeing them coming back, he asked a little nervously: "...Father, mother, how are you doing?"

Gu Da and his wife shook their heads, Gu Da said: "It's still the same, the leader doesn't seem to be interested in marrying a wife at all."

Gu Mo was so angry that he threw the half-made insect on the ground.

"Don't be angry, the leader is probably not enlightened." His mother comforted him, "So the things he did to Xia Zhou should be because he doesn't understand what it means. I think the leader is in this emotional state. He seems to have no experience at all, Gu Mo...you can make him open up."

Gu Mo: But he has never been in a relationship, so he doesn't know how to make the leader open up!

Mother said patiently: "Come on, I will teach you..."

After they left, only Mu Bai, the priest and Shui Li were left in the room, and Shui Li helped the priest to sit down on the stool.

The priest looked at Mu Bai and said, "Actually, what they said is correct, you should think about your own affairs, and don't just worry about the tribe's affairs every day."

Mu Bai changed the subject, he didn't want to discuss this with the priest, "Speaking of which, the number of living things in the forest has been decreasing recently, does the priest have any ideas?"

"This……"

"We paid attention when hunting and didn't kill them all. It stands to reason that the animals would not disappear so quickly." Mu Bai said.

The priest pondered for a while, "...could they have noticed something? But I haven't noticed anything unusual recently."

"So please pay more attention to the priest. If you find anything, please let me know immediately." Mu Bai said, "That's it, Shui Li, send the priest back to rest."

"Ah good."

Before leaving, the priest said to him: "Mu Bai, I still have to tell you something, what do the Gu Da couple and their family think of you... You should also know that if you don't want Xia Zhou to be targeted by them because of you... You need to keep your distance from him."

How could the man not know this, he lowered his silver-gray eyes, "...well, I understand."

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, as if he heard something.

Then, the priest and Shui Li stood at the door, watching him quickly rush in one direction.

"..." The two looked at each other and sighed inwardly.

Just now he said to keep his distance, but now he is blatantly heading towards the boy.

Looking at this direction, it must be Xia Zhou's place.

Shui Li was a little confused: "... Could it be that something happened?"

"Go and have a look," the priest said.

"No, I can't let you walk back alone." Although he wanted to go to Zhuoxi to have a look, Shui Li chose to send the priest back to the house first. The old man is old and his legs and feet are inconvenient. wrestling.

If you accidentally drop it, it's no joke.

On the other side, Zhuoxi watched the man push the door and entered, and blinked, as if a little surprised.

"Mu Bai, why are you here?"

"I heard something." The man looked around the house, but found nothing unusual. He asked the boy, "What happened just now? Someone came?"

Zhuo Xi didn't intend to hide it, "He has brown hair and long, thin eyes..."

Mu Bai walked over immediately, grabbed his wrist and looked him up and down, "... What did he do to you?"

"No." The boy shook his head and said, "He tried to get in through the window, but I beat him out with a stick."

"..." The man didn't seem very convinced. He felt that the boy was lying to make him feel at ease. Gore was an orc after all, so he was beaten out so easily?

Seeing his suspicion, Zhuo Xi had no choice but to tell him how he drove that guy away.

After listening, the man was silent for a while: "...you did a good job."

The boy raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"I will warn him." Mu Bai said in a deep voice, "Arrange more things for him, so that he has no time to harass you."

"Good idea." Zhuoxi agreed.

He thought for a while, and then asked the other party: "Don't you females here have the ability to protect themselves? For example... there are some ways to protect themselves, weapons and so on."

Mu Bai: "No, they won't be able to leave the tribe a few times in their lifetime. As long as they don't go out, they are safe. Besides...they still have the protection of the orcs."

Usually the females in their own tribe will be sheltered by the orcs in their own tribe, and they will basically not go out, so they don't need any ability to protect themselves at all, as long as they can grow textiles and cook. That's all.

They don't think about things like letting females protect themselves, because in the eyes of orcs, females are born to be protected.

Moreover, the females are usually not very idle. They have a lot of scattered tasks to do, and they don't have time to think about them.

Zhuoxi asked again: "Then when you usually hunt, don't you use tools?"

"You don't need tools to hunt in the shape of a beast." The man replied, he could sense what the young man meant, "Do you want to learn the ability to protect yourself? Or do you want to do something."

His eyes fell on the young man's slender wrist.

"I want...to make some handy weapons for self-defense," Zhuo Xi said.

Mu Bai was surprised that the boy would have such an idea.

But instead of attacking the opponent, he expressed support.

"...Okay, if you need anything, just tell me."

For some reason, he felt that what the young man said was quite weighty, maybe... what useful things could he really make?

Mu Bai didn't know that the young man had been separated from other females in his eyes at this time, and he subconsciously felt that Zhuoxi was very different from them. Although the young man was weak, he seemed to be much smarter than them.

Very thoughtful too, he thought to himself.

It's nothing to him to support the boy's idea.He thought that letting Zhuoxi find something to do by himself would also prevent him from thinking about things when he lives here alone.

In fact, Zhuoxi already had some ideas just now, he tilted his head, and offered to ask: "Then... can you bring me some elastic wood?"

Mu Bai: "Well, is there any more?"

"Also, if I catch prey later, I want some of their tendons and bones..."

The man didn't quite understand what he was going to do, but he still agreed, "Yes."

The smile on the corner of the boy's mouth became more obvious. He looked around, took a few fruits and handed them to the man: "I picked these in the morning, and I'll give them to you."

Mu Bai opened his hand, and the few fruits rolled into his palm, his eyes moved from there to the bright eyes of the young man in front of him, and his thin lips were lightly pursed.

"it is good."

***

In the tribe, a few orcs got together and teased: "Have you noticed that recently, Gu Mo has always been posing in front of the leader... I feel embarrassed for him when I look at it."

"He is getting more and more anxious. After all, he is getting older and older. If he doesn't get married, he will become an unwanted female. Besides, Xia Zhou is here, so he must be even more anxious."

"But what's the use of him doing this? I don't think the leader is interested in him at all. It's like he didn't see it every time."

"Yeah, if you want me to say, the leader just doesn't have those things in his mind. After all, he should be worried about hunting recently. There are a few times when we went out for a long time and didn't see a single prey, hey."

"It's true... I don't know what's going on. Could it be that people from other tribes are also hunting in our territory? It's unlikely... We didn't smell other orcs either."

"It may be that the food for animals in the forest has decreased recently, resulting in a decrease in their number."

"I hope it's just for this reason..."

They were chatting and patrolling around the tribe. It didn't take long before they saw their leader returning with a group of tribesmen who had gone hunting.

Looking at the log carried on the leader's shoulders, everyone was a little puzzled.

"Today we only caught one Mori beast." The orcs put the prey of about one hundred catties on the ground, and were about to process it when their leader stopped them.

Mu Bai: "I'll come."

"Oh... okay." The orcs withdrew their claws, watched the man handle the Mori beast, and when they saw Mu Bai pulling out its tendons and bones alone, they said in confusion: "Boss, this thing It's useless..."

Mu Bai handled the prey neatly, then held the tendon in his hand and said to them: "Okay, carry it over and prepare to cook."

"Oh..." Everyone watched him leave with question marks written all over their faces.

Mu Bai took the tendons to the stream and cleaned them, then brought the piece of wood to the boy's house.

"Boss?" Shui Li happened to pass by, and said to him, "Are you looking for Xia Zhou? He seems to be still watering the Dobby tree, but he hasn't come back."

Mu Bai paused, put the wood aside, and handed the tendon in his pocket to Shui Li, "Then I'll go first, when he comes back, give him this."

"Oh...Okay." Shui Li thought for a while and asked, "Boss, don't you give it to him yourself?"

"No." After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.

He remembered what the priest said, that he had to keep a distance from the boy, otherwise it would bring him some trouble, which was a situation he didn't want to see.

Therefore, even though he wanted to wait for the boy to come back before handing over these two things to him, the man finally gave up on this idea.

Zhuoxi also noticed that the man seemed to be trying to avoid suspicion with him. It seemed that someone in the tribe had mentioned him.

013: "Host, what should I do? You should also know that there is a female in this tribe who likes the target person very much. What's her name... Oh yes, it's called Gu Mo."

"uh-huh."

"He is much more proactive than you. Look, that guy runs to hang out in front of the target person when he has nothing to do, and even dresses himself up every day. He is very active."

Zhuoxi: "Then do you think it's useful for him to do that?"

013: "Well, well, it seems useless at all. I think the target person is really super straight when facing other people besides you..."

"That's fine." Zhuo Xi never regarded that man named Gu Mo as his competitor, because he knew that no matter how the other danced, a man would not have any feelings for him.

If you don't even have this kind of trust, wouldn't you be an old couple for several worlds in vain?
