"The leader of the rebels is a wolf orc, very strong. He was the orc who defeated him without injuring him. That orc has lived in this place for many years. They are about to take action and tell us to run south. It was that orc who told my father to do so."
When he heard the news, he was extremely excited. This meant that his family could take advantage of the chaos and escape directly.
They have two powerful adult orcs who can live well even if they don't join the tribe but just wander around, and they can take in others and rebuild the tribe.
But his father refused, and he remembered what his father said to him at that time.
"Overthrowing this place, creating unrest, and creating an opportunity to escape all require people to do it. If everyone waits for others to do it so that they can take advantage of the unrest to escape, then no one will do it, and the unrest that brings the opportunity to escape will never happen."
"So I have to go. Every time I stop one more person, you have another chance to escape. I don't trust others to stop the enemy. You take them and run south."
He wanted to tell the father beast that he could go too, but the father beast told him, "If it were just the two of us, I would definitely let you stay, but you still have your brother and your father. Ya is only nine years old, and he can't survive outside with the father beast."
The next night, the roars of various orcs were suddenly heard outside.
He knew that the unrest had begun.
The father beast took one last look at them and finally said to Fu, "Take them to the south, away from the north."
"What happened next? Is there any news about them?" Meng Yuqing asked subconsciously.
Fu escaped with Ya and his father-in-law. Although they were being chased, it proved that the riot was a success.
They escaped with all the sub-beasts, and more people will escape.
Meng Yuqing's voice brought Fu back to reality. Fu looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing, shook his head and said.
"After I joined the organization in the north, I did go to inquire about it. However, I had just joined the organization not long ago and had not yet established my foothold. There was no one to help me, so it was difficult to get information. I only knew that they had been operating in the west.
After the Colosseum was destroyed, the Bone-Bone Tribe sent people to kill them, but they were beaten back, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Later, when I had a few friends, I asked someone to come to the south to look for my dentist, but it had been a few years since then, and I couldn't get any news about him.
He sighed and said, "I was planning to investigate the situation of the God Tribe this year, then take people to the south to search and then to the west. I didn't expect to be captured directly."
"Now that we have found the tooth, are you going to the west to find your father beast next?" Meng Yuqing asked.
"I have to know the news, no matter what the result is." Fu replied.
"Oh, right." Fu seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Meng Yuqing and Xuan, "My father also told me that the wolf orc was a northern orc before, and he came to the Colosseum about eighteen or nineteen years ago.
The father beast suspected that he might be an orc from the tribe that could compete with the God Tribe, so this was also the reason why he decided to join them.
After saying this, Fu stopped talking. Xuan and Meng Yuqing also digested the news Fu had told them today with a thoughtful look on their faces.
It sounds like the main event is in the west, but there is always a shadow of the north in it.
Fu sat in their yard for a long time, as if reminiscing.
It wasn't until Meng Yuqing couldn't help but start yawning that he reacted.
He stood up and said goodbye to them, "I will go back to the north the day after tomorrow."
"Well, be careful on your way and stay safe." Xuan and Meng Yuqing sent him to the gate of the yard and only returned to the house after watching his figure completely disappear.
Lying on the bed, Meng Yuqing asked Xuan, "He's leaving the day after tomorrow. Will he go to see Ya tomorrow? It seems like they haven't spoken to each other in a while."
"I don't know." Xuan turned over and hugged Meng Yuqing, ruffling his hair and said, "They have to solve their own problems. It's not something we can just persuade them. We still have a day off tomorrow. Where else do you want to go?"
"Go chop some bamboo and bring it back. Let's eat bamboo rice and chop up the bacon and stew it together. It's delicious." Meng Yuqing said with his eyes closed, putting one leg on Xuan's body.
The rice they left behind to eat was husked and chaffed during this period and became the rice they eat normally.
I had eaten it once a few days ago. When Meng Yuqing put it in her mouth, she almost cried.
Xuan was not very interested at first. He felt that this small version of the meat fruit had no taste, just like potatoes. He was not very interested in potatoes, so naturally he was not very interested in rice either.
After eating the rice, Xuan didn’t really enjoy it and just ate it as ordinary food to fill his stomach.
But as he ate, he realized something was wrong.
When he stopped eating, Meng Yuqing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Meng Yuqing glanced at the food on the table, and then realized something was wrong. The two of them ate much slower today.
He was very clear that his eating speed was no different from usual, so the problem lay with Xuan.
"I feel a little full." Xuan said while holding the chopsticks.
"You only ate half of your usual portion. Are you feeling unwell?" Meng Yuqing was a little worried. He put down his chopsticks and was about to call out the system to check Xuan's physical condition.
"I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just full." Xuan Ye looked at the bowl with half of the food left.
The two of them stared at the bowl for a long time before Meng Yuqing asked, "Could it be because of the rice? The only difference between today and before is that you ate rice with me."
Xuan picked up a handful of pure rice with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he looked at Meng Yuqing and said, "It's because of the rice."
He tilted his head and thought for a moment before continuing, "Like a weaker version of a fleshy fruit."
"You mean eating rice gives you the same feeling as eating fruit?" Meng Yuqing looked down at the rice in his bowl.
If he had known that rice had this effect, he would have switched to paddy rice in the first year.
Xuan knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and quickly said, "You also said that if we grow rice here, we need to transform it. It is definitely better to switch to food that is high-yielding and easy to feed here. After all, the main purpose at that time was to survive the winter and not starve."
Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing nodded, feeling comforted.
At that time, I didn't know that rice had such an effect, so replacing it with potatoes and sweet potatoes was indeed the best choice.
Seeing that Meng Yuqing's expression had improved, Xuan continued, "But this is a little different from the meat fruit. The meat fruit is beast-shaped. Eating two of them will fill you up without needing to eat anything else. The energy it provides us is the same as beast meat.
But it probably only works for us humanoids, and we can’t just eat this, just like we can’t just eat plants.”
There is indeed a difference between being full after eating meat and being full after eating vegetables, especially since meat is the staple food of orcs.
