With chaotic thoughts in his mind, Meng Yuqing fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up the next day, it was almost noon. Meng Yuqing quickly climbed out of bed. It was really embarrassing to sleep in someone else's house until noon.
When I walked out of the room, Qiu Ye was already preparing lunch. Xuan and Xia were not at home. When they saw Meng Yuqing coming out, they greeted him with a smile.
"Are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"
"I slept very well. The animal skin was very soft and comfortable. Thank you!" Meng Yuqing replied with a smile. In fact, he did not sleep well last night. His mind was in a mess after listening to Xuan's story.
Xuan was the first person he came into contact with after coming into this world, and he had always been very kind to him. Even though he was an adult man with mature thoughts, he still inevitably developed a fledgling complex.
He could feel Xuan's sadness and pain, and his feelings for the tribe and his people.
So Meng Yuqing wanted to do something for this tribe, not just because he needed to develop a tribal upgrade system, but because he really wanted to do something.
"That's good, the food will be ready soon."
Meng Yuqing smoothed her hair, walked outside, filled the small kettle she had made earlier with water, and washed herself briefly.
He still needed to get a toothbrush. He hadn't brushed his teeth properly since he came here. He could ask Xuan if he had any animal hair suitable for making bristles. Also, willow branches seemed to be useful as toothbrushes. He wondered if there were any similar trees here. He could ask the system about that.
Thinking about the system, I have completed it after completing the first task, and the functions of other sections have also been unlocked. However, because Xuan came over temporarily, I didn’t have time to check it. I can take some time to study it carefully today.
After spitting out the last mouthful of water, Meng Yuqing wiped his mouth and returned to the house.
Qiu Ye had already prepared lunch. Meng Yuqing looked at the amount of food and asked.
"Won't the clan leader and Xuan be back at noon?"
Qiu Ye shook his head and replied, "They are on patrol. They won't come back unless there is something else at noon. Xuan is already an adult and needs to learn a lot of things as soon as possible. He can't be like the backup soldier before."
Meng Yuqing took the food handed to him by Qiu Ye and sat on the stone bench. When he had almost finished eating, he looked up and asked Qiu Ye.
"How can I get my own house in the tribe? Do I need to make any contribution?"
Qiu Ye looked at him in surprise. "Are you going to live alone?"
Meng Yuqing was puzzled, but nodded. "Yes, is it not possible?"
"It's not impossible. Anyone in the tribe can build a house here," Qiu Ye continued, looking at him. "But you can live in our house." At this point, he seemed to remember something and added, "Xuan is already an adult. He will move out soon. Don't worry."
Realizing Qiu Ye had misunderstood, Meng Yuqing quickly explained, "No, I just feel really embarrassed to be staying at your house all the time."
"But you're not an adult yet. How can a non-adult sub-beast live alone? If you're the only one left, there will be other families who will adopt you. You don't have to be embarrassed."
Qiu Ye really wanted to adopt Meng Yuqing. He discussed it with Xia last night, and Xia also agreed.
"I'm already 22 years old and an adult." Meng Yuqing was surprised.
However, Qiu Ye was more surprised than him, "But Xuan told me that you haven't done it yet."
"But I have never discussed this issue with Xuan." Meng Yuqing was shocked. What gave Xuan the illusion that he was not an adult?
"Ah! Maybe he misunderstood. Sorry." Qiu Ye apologized immediately.
"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe I did something that gave him an illusion." Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. Just explain it clearly.
"However, even if you are of age, you can live in our house until you find a partner."
Qiu Ye was puzzled as to why the orcish cubs without parents in the tribe were gathered together to be raised by the tribe.
But little sub-beasts are different. They are not as tough as little orcs and need more careful care to survive, so they are generally adopted by healthy families in the tribe. After all, sub-beasts eat less, and for families with adult orcs, raising one more is not a problem at all.
The young orcs start learning hunting at the age of 4. The adult orcs who teach them will take them to the patrol area to find small wild animals for practice. They can add meals to themselves. In addition to the food allocated by the tribe, the older young orcs can always find ways to find food for themselves.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, but I still want to live alone." Meng Yuqing still refused. He had a system on him, and after spending so much time together, it was inevitable that some abnormalities would be discovered. Moreover, he also needed space to study some things that would be useful for the development of the tribe.
Qiu Ye looked at him, making sure that he was not being polite but serious, and did not try to persuade him anymore, but just said with some disappointment.
"I see. Xuan is also planning to build a house and move out. I'll help you build it when the time comes." At this point, he suddenly perked up and continued.
"Your house can be built closer. If you have any difficulties, you can ask him for help, and you can also come to our house often."
"Okay!" Meng Yuqing did not refuse Qiu Ye's kindness again. He could see that Qiu Ye liked him very much and even wanted to adopt him. This reminded him of what Xuan said yesterday.
Hearing Meng Yuqing's agreement, Qiu Ye was very happy and his eyes narrowed with a smile.
Qiu Ye is a very friendly person and it is very comfortable to get along with him. When Xuan and Xia came back in the evening, Qiu Ye had already skipped Meng Yuqing's surname and only called him by his first name.
