The cold wind was blowing, and the yellow leaves fell lightly to the ground.
Shen Qi looked at the obviously bare branches, which dropped a handful of dead leaves almost every day.
"Qiqi, winter is coming."
Bai Yuwei walked forward, and the cold wind blew over, mixed with the fragrance of her body.
"You've been out hunting these days to prepare food for the cold winter?"
These past few days, whenever she woke up, he was nowhere to be found. He went out early and came back late every day, and every time he came back he brought back many wild animals that had died tragically at the claws of tigers.
"Winter is coming. The weather is very cold and few wild animals will appear. We will hunt and prepare food in advance to prevent ourselves from starving to death."
"But what orcs fear most in the cold winter is the safety of females. Females are not as strong as males and are easily frozen to death."
"What if all these dead animals go bad?"
"During the cold winter, there will be a lot of snow, and sometimes even hail. We will bury these beasts in the snow, so they won't be damaged so easily."
It turns out that just like putting food in the refrigerator, it can slow down the growth of bacteria and microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food.
"Qiqi, I'll go take care of the hides first, then you won't be so cold."
"Okay." She suddenly thought of the little brat next door. It would not be good to let him stay here all the time in such a cold day.
She walked out and entered Qian Mo's inner room. She saw him teasing a little snail. There was no fox around.
"And the fox?"
Qian Mo heard the sound, looked back, and said in surprise, "Sister Qiqi! The fox ran out to play."
As for where he was going, he didn't know. He was playing with the little snail and when he turned around, he couldn't see him anymore.
"Winter is coming." Shen Qi reminded.
"Cold winter?" Qian Mo took a few seconds to react, and suddenly remembered the scene of the cold winter before. It seemed that there would be a heavy snow, and the scenery was all white, which was very interesting.
"Winter is so beautiful!" Qian Mo grinned as he thought of the beautiful picture.
"Winter is very cold, and you haven't yet developed the ability to transform. Your brother will take good care of you in Demonic Beast City."
"He won't!"
Hearing his slightly excited tone, she sighed, "You have a lot of opinions about your brother?"
"He..." Qian Mo was stunned for a moment, and a look of anger appeared on his face as he thought of some scene.
"He killed my she-beast."
"You saw it with your own eyes?"
"Well... I was young at the time and only remember this scene. I didn't understand it then, but now that I'm grown up, I know that he was the one who killed my female beast!"
As he spoke, Qian Mo gritted his teeth in hatred and clenched his fists tightly.
"Aren't you born from the same female beast?" Shen Qi noticed that he kept talking about his female beast.
"No, I just saw the mother beast suddenly find an orc who can transform into a human like me, and then the mother beast also kept him by her side."
"Until I saw his claws piercing into the mother beast's body..." Thinking of the tragic death of the mother beast, Qian Mo's eyes dimmed.
"Since he killed my female beast, he will definitely kill me again!"
"Why would he save you if he was going to kill you?"
"Didn't you, Sister Qiqi, save me?" Qian Mo looked at her, puzzled.
"If he hadn't allowed me to rescue you, you would still be lying on that ice bed."
"But... why did he save me?" After he killed the female beast, he kept carrying himself on his back and feeding himself raw food. At first, he didn't understand why the female beast looked in pain, and he never saw her again.
Until one day, when he grew up, he saw his brother killing a wild beast. He thought of the scene of the mother beast's death, and knew that the mother beast had disappeared from this world since he stabbed his claws into the mother beast's body.
He is the culprit who killed his own mother!
After that, he refused to eat any raw meat handed to him. He would climb the tree to pick fruits and solve the problem on his own.
Later, for some reason, his eyes went dark and he suddenly lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again and saw a strange male beast who seemed to care about him.
Then he saw a face behind him that looked like his brother's.
He was very tall, and his features were very similar. He knew it was his brother.
Recalling the scene of him killing the female beast before, he wanted to kill him without hesitation... He was not worthy of being his brother!
"If the mother beast were still alive in this world, she would definitely regret it..."
Seeing tears welling up in his eyes, she stepped forward, stroked his head, and said softly, "The mother beast must hope that you can protect yourself when you grow up. You work very hard, and you will definitely be better than many people in the future."
"I find it strange that your brother killed your female beast."
"Why?" Qian Mo stopped sobbing and looked at her.
"Did you hear what they said when they killed your mother beast?"
Qian Mo shook his head, recalling the blurry scene. He only remembered their lips moving, but he couldn't see their expressions clearly. His ears seemed to be covered by animal skins, so he couldn't hear any sounds.
"If he really wanted to kill you, he would have left you alone long ago. Why would he spend so much time looking for a witch doctor?"
"My brother...he found many witch doctors to save me?"
"certainly."
"But why am I lying on the ice bed? Isn't it his masterpiece?"
"How do you say that?"
"Before I fainted, he was the only one beside me, and I slept for so many years..."
"Based on your fuzzy and hazy memories, you were young at the time and you don't know if your brother actually killed your female beast, or if... there's something else going on."
Qian Mo listened to her words and fell into deep thought.
Is it really because of other reasons that they were forced to kill the mother beast?
Since he had witnessed his own female beast die under his claws, a rift had developed between him and him...
Seeing his skeptical look, Shen Qi knew that it was impossible for him to accept it all at once. After all, he had witnessed his mother being killed with his own eyes, and he would never accept it calmly for any other reason.
She said softly, "Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily what you think. Maybe the result is as you saw, or there may be other reasons. But your brother has no intention of killing you."
Qian Mo thought of Yuanze's cold expression. Although he sometimes looked impatient with him, he really didn't do anything to hurt him.
Also, that day when he was looking for wild animals, the snake was about to attack him, but his brother killed it with one blow, and he was able to save his life.
Did he really misunderstand his brother?
Outside the house, a small figure stood at the door for a long time.
I didn't hear the entire conversation inside, but I caught most of it.
Especially when he heard the words "seeing is not necessarily believing", his eyes flashed slightly.
When he didn't hear any sound from inside, he walked away.
