After returning home, Meng Yuqing and Xuan prepared one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup as usual.
Xiao Huang was circling around the two of them. Since Meng Yuqing discovered that Xiao Huang would not run around, he no longer locked the cage.
This little hen is quite smart. When Meng Yuqing and Xuan are not at home, it basically stays in the cage and only comes out to find something to eat when it is really hungry.
A few days ago, Meng Yuqing was so busy that she fell asleep as soon as she came home. Xuan also went out early and came back late. She did not feed it regularly, so it actually learned to beg for food from people living nearby.
Everyone in the tribe knew that Meng Yuqing raised this cuckoo beast for fun.
Seeing it coming near his home, he thought that Meng Yuqing and Xuan had been so busy recently and probably didn't have much time to take care of it.
So when I see Xiao Huang at mealtime, I always feed it something to eat.
Gradually, it became familiar to everyone.
After finishing his meal while amusing Xiao Huang, just as Meng Yuqing was about to clean up the table with Xuan and take a walk before resting, Xuan turned his head and looked outside the yard.
Meng Yuqing followed his gaze and saw Fu Zheng standing at the gate of the courtyard looking at the two of them.
Xuan walked over and opened the gate, and Fu followed him in. Fu looked at their small yard with some curiosity.
Fu has been in Qingshan City for some time. He went to see the Shuilin and Shijiao tribes when they were building houses, but no one's home in the entire tribe gave him the same feeling as this one.
Even the Xia and Qiuye houses that Meng Yuqing helped design could not give him such a feeling.
It has a very lively atmosphere, is very peaceful and warm.
He liked this kind of atmosphere very much. When he saw Xuan and Meng Yuqing sitting together outside the yard, eating and feeding the little wild animals beside them, his thoughts suddenly drifted back to the spring eleven years ago.
After he finished his adult hunting, he brought back a big prey, and his family was very happy. At that time, he, his father, his father, and Ya also sat at the doorstep and ate together.
That summer, everything was ruined.
"Sit down." Xuan took him to the stone table for dinner. Meng Yuqing had already cleaned the table and poured three glasses of iced juice.
He came back to his senses and sat on the stone bench. Meng Yuqing and Xuan sat opposite him.
"I'm going back to the north." Fu said, looking at the two of them.
"Yeah." Xuan nodded. "If you want to go back, this time period will just be enough to catch the last round of the autumn hunt."
As he spoke, Xuan leaned his elbow on the table and looked at Fu, "Do you have anything else to say to us?"
Meng Yuqing also took out a pen and bark and prepared to take notes.
The last time at the market, he felt that Fu actually hadn't said a lot of things, such as what happened to their tribe.
However, at that time, he and Xuan were more concerned about the distribution of power in the north and the strength of the orcs, and they were not prepared to ask about the private affairs of Fuhe Ya's original tribe. After all, that would be like digging up other people's scars.
Now Fu came to them and seemed to want to tell them those things.
"Our tribe was wiped out when Ya was seven years old. When I escaped with Ya and Yafu, Ya was nine years old. What I want to talk about is what happened in those two years."
After Fu said this slowly, he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with suppressed humiliation and deep hatred.
Hearing his words, Meng Yuqing and Xuan were both surprised. They had always thought that after the Ya tribe was destroyed, he escaped and ran straight here. They didn't expect that there was a gap of two years between the destruction and his escape...
"What happened in those two years?" Xuan asked.
Fu didn't respond immediately, but took several deep breaths to calm himself down.
Meng Yuqing and Xuan did not urge him, but their brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.
Especially Meng Yuqing, he once curiously asked about Dao Yang's strength level in the northern tribe before his leg was broken.
The system told him that he was the second most evolved beastman, which was why Yang had broken through shortly after they obtained the slate.
If Yang was born in the north, he should have broken through on the day he came of age. Fu is only slightly weaker than Yang, and Ya is also very strong. This is enough to prove that the strength of their tribe is definitely much stronger than the tribe in the south.
After a long time, Fu Cai calmed down. He looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing and said.
"I've told you before that there was once a tribe that could rival the God Tribe. Within two months of that tribe disappearing, roaming orcs began to appear everywhere. It seemed as if order had completely collapsed across the north. Tribes like ours, living at the junction of north and south, were also greatly affected. My sub-father was also captured by roaming orcs during that time."
As for what happened after the roaming orcs kidnapped his grandfather, he did not continue to talk about it, but Xuan and Meng Yuqing knew that Ya was born after that.
Meng Yuqing lowered his head. If that was the case, Ya was one year younger than Xuan, so their ages matched.
"After more than a year of chaos, peace returned. We thought the conflict in the north had ended and the winner had been decided." Fu closed his eyes and continued, "When Ya was seven years old, I had just come of age. That summer, our tribe was invaded by a branch of the Bone-Bone Tribe, one of the four major tribes in the north."
Fu's eyes were filled with despair. He remembered that night, the orcs on night watch in the tribe let out a shrill cry, and all the orcs were awakened.
The father beast ran directly towards the most intense battlefield, asking him to send Ya and Yafu to the refuge cave first.
That night, the sound of angry roars from the tribesmen and brutal cries from the other side filled the air.
Among the group of people, there were orcs who could dig holes. They found a cave for refuge and captured all the sub-beasts and cubs inside.
He and the orcs guarding there, as well as the older orcs, fought desperately, but it was of no avail. The enemy had more people and bypassed the front battlefield.
With the hostages, they forced the adult orcs who were still fighting to give up resistance.
All those who were still alive at the time were arrested.
He rubbed his forehead, trying to suppress these painful memories, and continued speaking.
“Because they heard that the orcs in our tribe are very strong and would be great beast fighters, so they came to capture us.
"They sent flying orcs and orcs who could dig holes to observe our tribe for a long time and figured out the location of the cave where our tribe took refuge."
He looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing, explaining why their once powerful tribe was conquered so quickly.
"They took us west, where there was a Colosseum. If the captured orcs wanted to survive, they had to fight one-on-one. The winner would receive three days' worth of food, enough to feed him and his family."
Having said this, Fu stopped again, his breathing became rapid, and he suppressed his anger.
