Xuan and Meng Yuqing looked at Ya who was obviously lost in his memories, and did not interrupt him.
Until Ya came back to his senses, he looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing, pursed his lips and said, "At that time, my brother took Yafu to the north and led away the people who were chasing us. He survived there and may know a lot about the north."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued, "I was still young at that time, and Father Beast wouldn't tell me many things, but I know that Father Beast and Brother talked about many things the night before Brother took us away."
He recalled the circumstances of their separation.
After his brother took him and his father-in-law to escape, someone was still chasing them.
Later, his elder brother suggested that he take his father and run south while his elder brother went north to divert the people chasing them. At that time, he could not understand.
Before leaving, the father clearly said that he wanted his brother to take them with him and run away to the south together.
Especially when his brother expressed the idea of separation and his father chose to go with his brother instead of him, he thought he was abandoned.
He was abandoned by his brother and his father after his father decided to risk his life to buy them a chance to escape.
For the first time, he hated himself so much and hated the blood of the other half in his body.
From the time they separated until he arrived near the Qingshan tribe, he wandered outside for seven months.
He still doesn't understand how he survived that time and what kept him alive.
Maybe I thought that I must survive, grow up, find them, and ask them why.
Did he do something wrong? Why did they abandon him as soon as the father left?
It was only after I came to the Qingshan tribe and grew up that I gradually understood their thoughts at that time.
At that time, I was just over nine years old. It was good enough for me to survive on my own in the wild. I had no way of protecting my father.
If Yafu chose to follow him, no one would be able to reach the Qingshan tribe alive. It would be better for him to run alone, as his chances of survival would be much greater.
The nine-year-old orc already has a certain ability to protect himself, but if he brings a sub-beast with him, he will not survive.
I am still young, and if I meet a kind tribe that doesn't know my origins, I will be easily taken in.
My brother needs to divert the pursuers, and it is much more dangerous to take Yafu and the others with him than to wander around alone.
Seeing Ya lost in memories again, Meng Yuqing and Xuan remained silent and continued to wait.
This time, Ya's recollection was shorter and he came back to his senses quickly.
Before he could continue speaking, Xuan said directly, "Tomorrow, come with us to take a look."
Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Ya, "He has a lot of injuries on his body, but his legs are not broken. The price will be higher. We should go over and check the situation as soon as possible."
This was considered an agreement. After listening to Xuan's words, Ya nodded, then looked at Xuan in a daze, wondering how Xuan knew who his brother was.
Xuan stood up and wanted to shake off the hair on his body, but suddenly remembered that Meng Yuqing was still on him, so he stopped and said, "We went to see it today. The humanoid looks very similar to you, so I took a closer look."
When orcs meet in human form, they can roughly feel what kind of beast-shaped orc the other party is, so it is not difficult for Xuan to think that the orc and Ya may be related.
The human form looks alike, and the animal form also gives him a similar feeling. It is rare for such a coincidence to happen.
After finishing the discussion, Xuan walked a few steps towards the market and found that Ya was still standing there in a daze and hadn't caught up with him. He stopped and turned to look at Ya.
Meng Yuqing also reminded him at the right time, "Ya, we should go back. We have to go there early tomorrow morning. If we are late and someone replaces us, it will be troublesome."
"Oh, okay." Ya quickly followed.
It seemed that because Meng Yuqing and Xuan did not pay much attention to what Ya said about him being a wandering orc cub, or perhaps because Xuan agreed to exchange his brother, Ya's mood was obviously much better on the way back.
Meng Yuqing looked back at him from time to time and found that he was no longer walking with his head down.
Xuan also intentionally gave Ya time to adjust, so he went back much slower than when he came out.
By the time the three of them returned to the stall, everyone except the orcs on night watch had rested.
After Meng Yuqing and Xuan watched Ya return to his seat and lie down, they found a corner and hid there to check the things in the space.
"We didn't bring much with us. After symbolically exchanging some salt today, we're not sure if we can get the person out."
This time they didn't come here to exchange things, so the things they brought might not be enough to exchange for Ya's brother from the northern orcs.
However, the reason why the two of them decided to change people so quickly was not only because the other party was Ya's brother, but also because...
Ya's brother had spent a long time in the north, so they could take this opportunity to learn about the situation in the north.
According to Tingya's words, his previous tribe might be located in the middle area between the south and the north. What happened during that time that caused their tribe to suffer such a great blow?
This made his father decide to let his eldest son, who had just reached adulthood, escape with his father and younger brother.
