Xuan transformed back into human form and stood side by side with Meng Yuqing. Both of them lowered their heads to their chests and listened to Qiu Ye's muttering, "It's not that we can't play in the water, but we also have to consider what season it is. The autumn hunting has begun, the temperature has dropped, and winter is coming soon. What if you get sick?"
As Qiu Ye spoke, he used a clean animal skin to wipe the water off Meng Yuqing's hair.
After wiping, he threw the animal skin on Xuan's body and said, "Go and boil some hot water. If you don't wash, Yuqing will also need to take a bath with hot water, and you are still standing there."
Xia stood behind Qiu Ye and looked at Xuan, with a look of gloating in his eyes. His silly son, why in this season and weather, would he play with the sub-beast like a little orc.
Xuan quickly caught the animal skin thrown by Qiu Ye, retracted his neck and ran to boil water.
Seeing Xuan's reaction, Qiu Ye nodded, and when he turned around, he saw Xia's expression which he had not had time to restrain.
Then the fire spread to Xia, "You're still laughing! Just like when you were a teenager, you rushed into the water with me!"
Xia Ye shrank his neck after being scolded, and immediately put on a serious expression and walked towards Xuan.
"I'll go see how he's doing with the water."
Meng Yuqing was amazed as he watched from the side, especially the way Xia and Xuan retracted their necks, which was exactly the same.
If Xia and he had not acknowledged that Xuan was from the north and was not his biological son, who would dare to say that he was not his biological son based on his actions and expression?
"Go change your clothes first." After driving away the two orcs, Qiu Ye pulled Meng Yuqing into the house.
Looking at Qiu Ye who was wearing loose clothes, Meng Yuqing's eyes fell on his belly.
Calculating the time, after the Autumn Hunting Competition is over, we will have to get ready because the little leopard cub will be born.
Many cubs were born in the tribe that year, including a little leopard. Meng Yuqing saw it once when his father brought him out to show everyone.
It looks like a kitten, but is bigger than a kitten.
Retracting his gaze, Meng Yuqing imagined the appearance of the little guy who was about to be born in his mind, thinking about how he would rub him when the time comes, and unconsciously revealed a strange (pervert-like) smile.
In the evening, the four of them sat together to eat again, a rare occasion.
Before Xuan and I confirmed our relationship, we would sometimes go to Xia and Qiuye's house for meals, but after we confirmed our relationship, we rarely went there anymore.
Qiuye is not available right now, so dinner is prepared by Xia, Xuan and Meng Yuqing.
The chef was Xia. Meng Yuqing felt very surprised as it was the first time he had eaten food cooked by Xia.
Xia Ping is very busy and rarely has time to cook. Even when she does cook, Meng Yuqing misses her.
Xia’s cooking skills are very good, especially barbecue. When Meng Yuqing tasted it, she knew that Xuan learned the barbecue skills from Xia.
After dinner, the three of them packed up their things. Xia held Qiu Ye's hand with one hand and carried the braised food that Meng Yuqing had packed for them with the other hand and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Qiu Ye still looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing worriedly and said, "Don't play in the water anymore. If you want to play, wait until summer. It's too easy to get sick if you play now."
Of course Xuan and Meng Yuqing didn't dare to say anything. They could only nod like chickens pecking at rice.
Closing the door, Meng Yuqing put away all the braised food in the kitchen. "We can make more of this for the Autumn Hunting Competition this year. It tastes good and is convenient. We can braise it in advance so that everyone will have something to eat in the evening. We also have some other snacks. Roy has already brought people to prepare them."
He walked up to Xuan and stared at him, "This year, our four tribes are joining together. We must have an unforgettable autumn hunting competition for everyone."
Xuan did not go out for the second round of autumn hunting, and the two of them were not idle either. Meng Yuqing found some sausage casings and began to try to make sausages.
When Xuan went out for the third time, a rack had been set up in their yard with strings of sausages hanging on it.
......
In the square, bonfires were bright and the crowds were bustling.
The aroma of food filled the air. Meng Yuqing, Roy, and several other sub-beasts were preparing braised food by the makeshift stove.
Qiu Ye moved a recliner over and sat aside watching the lively scene.
"There are a lot more people this year. It's so lively." He said with a smile as he looked at Xia who was busy all the time.
For the first time, the four tribes celebrated the end of the autumn hunt and the great harvest together and held an autumn hunting competition together.
This competition is different from all the previous ones.
But Xuan and Yang were suspended.
If these two people participate, it won't be called a competition, it will be called a one-sided bloodbath of others.
But rules are rules, and there are still many people who want to challenge them.
According to Chain statistics, almost all orcs who have reached the level of ordinary orcs want to challenge the two of them.
It's not a challenge to just one of them, it's a challenge to both of them.
The number of people in the four tribes who have reached the level of ordinary orcs is not large, but there are more than a hundred of them.
Meng Yuqing couldn't help but wonder whether they wanted to challenge Xuan and Yang, or whether they wanted to find an opportunity to beat them up together.
I have been here for a year and a half, and occasionally I can still hear some legends about Yang's youth.
Like Xuan, they are invincible in the entire tribe. The orcs of their age hate them to the core, but they just can't beat them.
Looking at Lian in front of him, he was talking about these things with great joy, and was happy to see that Xuan was about to be challenged by many people.
Meng Yuqing smiled innocently. "Lian, what about those beastmen who were able to participate in Xuanheyang's devilish training together because of your enthusiastic help? How are they doing recently? I heard they all made breakthroughs. Have they come to thank you? If you hadn't made this suggestion, they would probably still be standing still."
Lian's smile suddenly stopped, and he plunged into the group of sub-beasts, looking around guiltily, as if he was hiding from someone.
His actions caused laughter from the other sub-beasts.
One of the sub-beasts laughed and said, "Hey, I have a partner, Chain, you better stay away from me."
Another sub-beast also joked, "Chain, why are you still trying to get into our group of sub-beasts? It's a pity, you are almost twenty years younger than me, and I don't have any little sub-beasts at home."
Roy said bluntly, "Lian, who are you looking for? Tell me, and I'll ask Mu to find them for you. Or, when people come to eat our food later, I'll tell everyone and ask them to help you find them."
These kind words made Lian sweat profusely. "No, I'm not looking for anyone. I'm just checking. You guys are busy. Don't worry about me. I'll just stay here."
Even Qiu Ye couldn't help laughing now. He tilted his head to look at Lian and said, "It's okay to squat here, but you have to stay away from the stove. Your hair is about to burn."
"Ah! My hair!" Lian reached out and grabbed his long hair which was curled by the heat, wailing and crawling away from the stove.
When Xuan, Mu and Lie came over, they saw Lian still stubbornly huddled in the pile of sub-beasts, curling himself up into a ball, holding the ends of his hair with both hands and blowing air at it.
He was still muttering, "It's over, it's over, my hair is really burning, I hope a large part of my beast form will be burned black."
