Meng Yuqing walked over and picked up the palm-sized abalone and oysters and looked at them carefully. Apart from being a little bigger, he really couldn't see any difference from the abalone and oysters in the modern world.
Xuan also came over and picked up the conchs and scallops and knocked them.
"Just pry open their shells. The big ones have to be opened by orcs. Sub-beasts can't open them. Even if they do, they'll get their hands pinched off if they're not careful."
The jellyfish orc produced a tentacle from his hand and pointed at the oysters and scallops in Meng Yuqing's hand and said.
"These small shell beasts can be handled by sub-beasts. We have a lot of them. Sub-beasts can fill their stomachs by picking up these things every day."
At this point, he looked at Meng Yuqing excitedly, "Do you want to come to our place? We don't have to worry about salt or food. Every sub-beast gets a roll of yarn every year from birth."
Before he could finish his words, Xuan bared his teeth and let out a threatening growl from his throat.
"Stingy." The jellyfish beastman shrank back into the water. "If you want, you can go too. Why are you so fierce?"
The chain also flew over the jellyfish orc's head and said, "You want to kidnap our witch? I'll throw stones at you later."
The jellyfish beastman wanted to say something else when suddenly a dark blue tail stretched out from the water and rolled him directly to the bottom of the water.
Then the sea snake orc emerged from the water, holding half of a one-meter-long shell in his hand. Inside was palm-sized snails, scallops, oysters, abalone, and a few crawling crabs and shrimps.
He put the things on the shore and said, "Don't pay attention to what Cheng said. When he is happy, he doesn't think too much."
......
Seeing so many familiar ingredients suddenly appear, Meng Yuqing was stunned for a while, and then he became excited.
"Xuan, how about we catch a flying beast and eat it today? I want to stew chicken with abalone, and then you can accompany me to look for onions, ginger, and garlic around. I want to eat seafood!"
Xuan Zheng was squatting on the ground struggling with those half-meter-long conchs and scallops when he suddenly felt a force coming from behind.
He put down the conch and scallop, and caught Meng Yuqing who was hanging on his back with his backhand.
"Be careful, don't fall."
Xuan moved, moved Meng Yuqing to the front and held her in his arms, "You stay here, I'm going to catch birds, and pick some onions, ginger and garlic by the way?"
"Okay, then I'll deal with these here first. When you bring the food back, we'll cook directly." After coming out of Xuan's arms, Meng Yuqing took out a small knife from the animal skin bag and prepared to deal with the seafood.
"Just deal with these small ones, and I'll deal with the big ones when I come back." Before leaving, Xuan reminded him worriedly.
"I know, I know. I won't deal with those big things." Meng Yuqing waved his hand and urged Xuan, "Go quickly."
Xuan walked out, looking back every few steps, afraid that Meng Yuqing would touch the conchs. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and said, "You take him to pick onions, ginger and garlic, I'll go catch birds. I'm faster at catching birds than you."
He lowered his altitude and hovered over the two of them. "But you have to give me some food later."
Xuan and Meng Yuqing both looked up at the chain at the same time.
"Okay, go ahead."
The two said in unison.
It wasn't until the chain flew quite far away that he realized he had fallen into a trap.
After pushing the task of catching the bird to Lian, Meng Yuqing happily climbed onto Xuan's beast form. He lay on Xuan's back and rubbed Xuan's fur.
Because there were too many orcs gathered by the river, although some were strong and some were weak, the wild beasts all moved away from this place.
Therefore, in the afternoon, the orcs would go out in large numbers to hunt prey. The Qingshan tribe and the other three tribes consciously divided themselves into three teams, with each person responsible for one day.
Sometimes they caught more wild animals and would exchange them with surrounding tribes.
The Blue Water Tribe would also capture wild animals in the water for exchange.
Those small tribes that followed the Qingshan tribe actually followed their example, consciously merged together, and then divided into three teams to follow them out hunting.
Xuan also slowed down and separated from the large group that went out hunting. The two said they were out to pick onions, ginger and garlic, but in fact it was more like the two of them were out for a stroll in their own world.
"I want to go back to the tribe." Meng Yuqing rubbed Xuan enough and said aloud, "I miss Xiao Huang, the livestock we raise, the vegetable garden and herb garden in front of our house, and the life in the tribe."
"We can go back soon." Xuan said softly.
As is the nature of orcs, they like the exciting life in the wild. After he has acquired a certain ability to protect himself, he begins to try to leave the patrol area to fight with wild beasts.
But he didn't know when it started, but he also became greedy for the comfortable and peaceful life in the tribe.
He didn't want to leave the tribe unless it was necessary.
Maybe it’s because someone likes to stay in the tribe and doesn’t like to go out.
"I'm so tired outside!" Meng Yuqing continued as he relaxed on Xuan's back.
"Ah? Didn't you get enough rest last night?" Xuan was a little surprised. Everyone in the tribe basically knew what Meng Yuqing's living habits were. Generally, no one would disturb his sleep in the morning unless there was something particularly important.
"No, I slept well. If there's nothing else, you guys won't disturb me sleeping in. I'm mainly tired."
Xuan lowered his head and did not respond immediately.
He always knew that Meng Yuqing didn't like to get involved in these things. He just liked a simple life and he was even particularly afraid of trouble.
If there is nothing he has to do, he doesn't even like to leave the house.
He remembered chatting with Meng Yuqing in the winter, and Meng Yuqing once said, "Eighty percent of my worries and troubles come from contact with people.
But I no longer like interacting with people. If I were to go to a world where only I live, I would go crazy.
There are no mobile phones or computers here. If you weren't always with me at home, I wouldn't be able to stay at home all day without going out."
