The weather is nice today. The sun has been out all day and the snow is gradually melting, indicating that the cold winter is about to pass.
Niu Dali finished his day's work.
He took off his sturdy armor, put on an exquisite fur coat, and wore a plush hat specially made for orcs.
The cold air was instantly isolated outside, and Niu Dali hummed comfortably.
Niu Dali was not afraid of the cold before - and he is still not afraid of it now, but after staying in Hongye City for a long time, he slowly learned to enjoy life.
It's better to keep yourself warm than cold.
This set of clothes was custom-made by the best tailor in Hongye City, and it cost him a full ten gold coins!
Although he was thinking about something in his mind, Niu Dali did not relax his vigilance against the outside world.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember, don't drink too much!"
"This... could it be the royal family of some country?"
Then he turned around and spoke to these unfamiliar orcs.
Click, click, click~ The three orc soldiers also turned around and followed.
As the words fell, several tall but somewhat thin figures walked out cautiously, holding bone sticks, stone axes and other weapons in their hands.
"Da Li, are you going to drink again?"
Although I don’t know when this “opportunity” will come, it’s still a thought.
After Niu Dali left, the orcs began to communicate in a low voice.
"What are you mumbling about? I don't think I've seen you before. What are your names? Aren't you from Red Leaf City?"
"Why are the royal family here too?"
"I'm so envious too. My wife has been scolding me for a long time because I bought a new dress!"
Some people wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Huh?"
Niu Dali frowned. There were not many orcs in Hongye City, only about 500 or so. As far as he knew, there should be no orcs doing business at the moment. Who would come out at this time?
"Ahem, I have something to do today, so I won't go over. Next time, we'll go together next time!"
Several orcs felt very disappointed, but they didn't dare to show it in front of Niu Dali, so they had to consciously wrap the chains around themselves.
"It's because last time a guy got drunk and beat up his wife, and Lord Xiaotang happened to see him. After he was taught a lesson by Lord Xiaotang, Lord Xiaotang ordered us married orcs to hand over our money to our wives for safekeeping. Anyone who dares not to obey will be beaten. Without money, we have no say..."
Niu Dali led everyone out of the car.
Going out on patrol is a daily routine, not to guard against enemies or anything like that. Now the entire Star Continent belongs to the Buck Kingdom, and there are no enemies.
Wearing this luxurious clothes, Niu Dali came to his wife who was sewing clothes with her head down.
"Maybe you don't drink... But then again, Dali's wife is really a good wife and mother. I'm so envious!"
"We don't have a name. Red Leaf City? I don't think I've ever heard of it..."
Mistaking Niu Dali for the prince, they did not dare to delay and hurried to catch up.
"No, you have to hold it in!"
Niu Dali listened to his wife patiently, then he patted his chest and made a promise.
Niu Dali admires his wife's financial management ability very much.
When they got out of the cave, a gust of cold wind blew. Niu Dali subconsciously tightened his collar and said subconsciously, "This damn weather is really cold."
"I envy you the same. My wife...oh I forgot, I don't have a wife. Sorry to bother you. Goodbye."
"I'm not asking you to spend it all! Isn't today Friday? If you meet friends in the bar, shouldn't you treat them to a couple of drinks? Men shouldn't be too stingy. But don't be too stupid to choose the most expensive wines. The city lord will reward us with some of those good wines from time to time, so you don't have to spend that money. And..."
"Oh, I really want to buy one..."
Although these orcs spoke in low voices, he could hear them clearly. After all, as someone chosen by the city lord, how could he succeed without some skills?
Without even changing his clothes, he went straight to the city defense department to sign in for Zhu Datou, then asked someone to go to his house to bring a letter to his wife, and then he received the car keys and three orc warrior followers.
"This is a car, a means of transportation... Never mind, you won't understand even if I tell you. Get on board. There's no room left. You can sit in the bed."
Putting away the intercom, Niu Dali knew that he couldn't drink the wine, and felt a little regretful. However, when he thought about it, when he returned, his wife would find out that he had saved two gold coins, she would be very happy, right? And there was a special car for patrol, so he could have fun again!
Niu Dali's little ears twitched and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
Niu Dali invited.
In fact, ten gold coins are not much. You know, this is the top tailor in Hongye City, serving the City Lord's Mansion. Others can't buy it even if they pay money! As a member of the Hongye Orc Corps, Niu Dali naturally has some privileges.
In the end, Niu Dali gritted his teeth and endured it. Although most of the family's money was earned by him, he had a family after all and could not be so selfish.
"Ah, you are all lucky. For example, when I asked my wife for money, it took me half a day to get a silver coin..."
This is good, since it is safe enough, he can show off his driving skills? Then he and several soldiers get in the car.
Niu Dali said that there were no orcs so poor in Hongye City! These people were probably from other places, and they should have come to seek refuge with Master Zhang Feng. After all, Master's reputation in the orc circle was top-notch.
Niu Dali drove the car, carefully following the footprints, and came to a cave.
There was a group of orcs chatting not far away. When Niu Dali came out, everyone slowly stopped talking and looked over. One of the elderly male bull orcs smiled and greeted:
This prince is so cruel!
"yes."
"These are seat belts, please wear them, otherwise the ride will be a bit bumpy."
The orc soldier opened the truck bed and made a gesture of invitation to the orcs.
Mrs. Niu got angry when she mentioned this. Since then, her son has become famous in school! All his classmates knew that he had an alcoholic father! Seeing the red light in his wife's big eyes, Niu Dali saw that the situation was not good and ran away quickly.
Mrs. Niu kept on talking. A man cannot be without money when he is out there.
"Silver coins? You should be content. The most money I carry with me every day is copper coins! I not only envy Dali, I also envy you! Alas, this abominable woman, ever since she got the support of Lord Xiaotang, she doesn't even take me seriously!"
Their main purpose was to see if anyone was trapped outside and needed help.
With all kinds of grievances, the orcs were finally tied up.
Suddenly, Niu Dali paused, stretched out his hand to stop the orc soldier, then stared at a place and said loudly:
He came to his senses instantly, then took out a square box with intricate patterns carved on it from his waist and clicked a button on the box.
The patrol car can be considered a benefit that Zhang Feng provides to his people, and many cases of people being rescued have occurred there.
"Hey, ma'am, I'm leaving!"
These orcs sat in the truck bed, facing backwards, with their legs together, hugging their knees, chains all around their bodies, their eyes somewhat evasive, and they looked pitiful.
“This dress is so beautiful!”
Although the other party's tone was anxious, it was obvious that he was very happy.
He opened his eyes wide to see if there was anyone in the snow.
Boom~ There was a sudden vibration under their buttocks, which scared the orcs. They subconsciously wanted to get up, but then they found that they were tied up tightly and could not move at all!
This area is the orc residential area, and most of the orcs in Hongye City live here.
Tied tightly.
When they saw Niu Dali and others, they were stunned, especially when they saw Niu Dali's sturdy body, extremely exquisite clothes, and special velvet hat with horns showing, these people opened their mouths wide.
Niu Dali was stunned when he saw footprints in the snow through the car window.
Niu Dali touched the purse on his chest and decided to drink less wine today. He would save every penny and then go buy a cake for his wife to try. He couldn't forget the wonderful taste since he had eaten it in the City Lord's Mansion last time!
Be good!
Niu Dali waved his hand and walked away with his head held high.
"Thank you very much! Answer completed."
People on the roadside looked at the orc who was wearing exquisite clothes and holding a walkie-talkie, and they all showed envy. It was obvious that he was a personal soldier trusted by the city lord.
"Calling Niu Dali, calling Niu Dali, I am Zhu Datou, I am Zhu Datou, please answer if you get it! Please answer if you get it!"
This was the first time he saw a seat belt being used like this! This was not a seat belt at all. If you didn’t know, you would think he was escorting a prisoner!
"I guess you are not from Hongye City... Forget it, just follow me."
Driving slowly along the snow, Niu Dali sighed.
If they were mining, they might still have a chance of survival, but if they became toys of some nobles, they would definitely be dead!
Several people swallowed.
His mountain-like figure cast a shadow that covered Mrs. Niu, looking very oppressive. But what was a little weird was that his expression seemed very cautious, even pitiful.
Niu Dali hummed with a strong nasal tone.
"I'm just showing my concern. We all came from poverty before. We can't be extravagant and wasteful just because our lives are better now, right?"
Hearing them praising his wives, Niu Dali felt proud and walked with ease.
Looking at the iron chain as thick as a human's arm under their feet, several orcs fell silent. They felt that it was not safe at all.
"Do you think I'm like you, I went to pick up my son from school, but ended up drunk and was dragged back by my son?"
"Tsk, are you jealous of Dali? I heard that someone wanted to go out drinking the day before yesterday, but not only did he not get any money, he was also kicked out. At night, he was sleeping on the street when the sheriff found him and sent him back."
But Niu Dali below was stunned.
"Oh no! This is not some kind of torture device! It's over!"
He arrived at the parking lot and drove a tall car similar to a pickup truck to leave Hongye City.
After all, some orcs are too big, and these small cars cannot fit them unless they are specially made.
We agreed to come here to start a new life!
"I don't know, but Dali earns much more than us. How he spends his money is his business. Why are you worrying about it?"
"yes."
Looking at this huge guy with four wheels, everyone had a face full of question marks.
Whether it's their clothes, weapons, body shape or mental state, these people all reveal one word - poor!
"Hey, then I'm leaving - oh, by the way, Madam, don't forget to pick up the kids from school today!"
There was actually a voice coming from inside!
But Niu Dali was not surprised. This thing was called a walkie-talkie, which was given to him by Lord Zhang Feng. Only a few people in the whole Hongye City had it, and Niu Dali often took it out to show off.
However, looking at Niu Dali in his gorgeous fur coat, they were suddenly shivered by the cold wind.
"I am Niu Dali. I am Niu Dali! That's all."
This outfit is so beautiful!
“…”
In this weather, are there really people who are not afraid of death and are running outside?
"Um."
Although the origins of these orcs were unknown, they looked very weak and had no decent weapons. Niu Dali was confident that he could defeat them all in three rounds, so he was not too alert.
Orcs generally have night vision. Although the cave is dark, it cannot stop Niu Dali's footsteps.
He pressed another button and replied:
This is the Black Stone Forest, almost to the patrol border. Although there are merchants going out to do business on snowy days due to the developed transportation, they all take the train or the car. Who would walk? It's a life-threatening thing!
Several orcs said subconsciously:
"Let's go in and take a look."
Only then did they realize that the soldiers standing behind Niu Dali were all wearing airtight, shiny, exquisite armor, with thick round shields on their backs and sharp spears in their hands that gleamed with cold light.
If it was before... No, he didn't have the money to buy it before! Now he has saved enough money, but if he wants to buy one of these, then his family will become the moonlight clan again.
The old bull orc coughed twice awkwardly.
"It seems... quite cold!"
With mixed feelings, everyone followed Niu Dali and came to a steel monster.
If he remembered correctly, this cave should be one of the dens of the giant wolves before. However, the giant wolves are now in Hongye City and are raised to be fat and white, so these dens are naturally abandoned.
Mrs. Niu waved her hands, as if she wanted this annoying guy to disappear from her sight quickly.
"Ah... is this true? How come I don't know about this?"
"Yeah, tomorrow is a day off, so take a rest today! Haha, do you want to join us?"
Which prince’s personal army are these?
Listening to the other party's muttering, Niu Dali frowned and said:
"Da Li, you're here. Great! I thought you were out drinking again! It's my turn to go out on patrol today, but my wife gave birth today. I want to switch shifts with you. What do you think of helping me patrol these two days? Answer completed."
"Who's in there? Come out!"
Everyone's face turned pale in an instant!
Even the torture instruments are allowed to be tied by the prisoners themselves, is there any justice in this world?
Niu Dali, who was thinking about something all the way, suddenly felt a vibration in his waist.
When he was in charge of the family finances, he did not do much every day, but found that he had no money left at the end of the month. After handing over the financial power to his wife, Niu Dali spent money normally, but when he counted the accounts at the end of the month, the gold coins increased. Now the gold coins saved can buy a latest model private steam car! It's amazing!
"Okay, I'll go first then!"
Several orcs looked at each other in bewilderment. How could the weather be so cold? Wasn't it much warmer than their hometown?
There is no complicated reason why humans and orcs are separated. It is simply because orcs are generally tall, with many being two or three meters tall, and some even over four meters tall. Ordinary houses are definitely not suitable for them to live in, so they have to design houses separately. All the houses in this area are exceptionally tall.
Thinking of this, Niu Dali smiled.
Mrs. Niu then raised her head and looked at Niu Dali who had already dressed up. She gave him a helpless look.
Generally, each car produced in Hongye City has two models, one for ordinary humans and the other for orcs.
Huh~ He ran to the gate in one breath. Before opening the door, Niu Dali straightened his clothes and touched his hat. After making sure that there was no problem, he straightened his body and strode open the towering door.
I just don't know when Mr. Hill's cake shop will open, and whether the cakes are expensive...
Is he going to be arrested and taken to mining again?
They felt a little regretful.
He also remembered that Lord Zhang Feng seemed to have said before that if there was a chance in the future, he would provide them with a car.
This orc prince is obviously not a good person!
Several people looked at the sharp weapons in the soldiers' hands, then looked at the stone axes and bone sticks in their own hands, and decisively chose to obey the order.
Mrs. Niu asked without even looking up.
Niu Dali shook his head.
As she spoke, Mrs. Niu hung the needle and thread and other things directly on her cow's horns, then took out a bag of gold coins from the drawer under the table and threw it to Niu Dali.
"Congratulations! Of course it's no problem. I'll go register for you right away! Answer completed."
After all, it is still winter and there is a lot of snow outside. If someone is trapped, their life will be in danger.
After saying that, Niu Dali turned around and walked out.
"Well, don't worry, ma'am, I understand!"
“W-What is this!?”
"Going out for a drink again?"
"Follow me, go to Red Leaf City."
"Hmm? Are there footprints, or are they new?"
Niu Dali showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly caught it, fearing that it would fall to the ground, but he said: "Thank you, madam, but this is too much, I can't spend it!"
"No, these footprints are so big, they must be from orcs..."
Judging from the size, there are at least hundreds of them.
Niu Dali suddenly thought that today was Friday, and not only was he off, but his son who was in elementary school should also go home from school.
"You can drink, but if you dare to drink as much as last time and embarrass yourself in the City Lord's Mansion, then don't come back!"
As a result, after finally crossing the Sunset Mountains, they couldn't even find a bite of food to eat, and they entered a dark and gloomy second half of their life!
They looked at each other, and suddenly sadness flooded into their hearts.
"Eh? Have you noticed that the woods are retreating?"
Suddenly someone said.
"Really? Ouch! I'm dying!"
