Chapter 509: So Many Thoughts

Jing Qi smiled and nodded vigorously: "Of course, so you have to listen to Aunt Qiu. Don't take what others say to heart. It's useless except making yourself sad and worrying us...

If they are really too much, you cry and make a scene, and bring up your father to speak. So what if he is a disaster star? Your father truly sacrificed himself for the tribe!"

Jing Lin hummed, but his eyes moved down and fell on the silver-white metal ring on his brother's neck. "Is this given to my brother by the caravan?"

Jing Qi's body stiffened, and he smiled: "Yes, it is said that carving our local water monster can ensure safety."

He was afraid that he would cry, so he quickly poured a glass of water for his brother. "My uncles in the traveling merchant team are waiting for me. There is everything there. Xiaolin, I don't know when we will see each other again after my brother leaves.

You must remember that my brother will come back, and you must wait for me!"

"Brother, I know. Take good care of yourself outside and don't worry about me." Jing Lin nodded obediently.

Jing Qi didn't dare to look back, turned around and left quickly, but before leaving the tribe, he thought about it and went outside the chief's cave.

"Uncle clan leader, are you there?" he asked with a trembling voice. The Winged Lion Tribe had a strict hierarchy. Males were divided into first-level warriors, second-level warriors, etc. according to their combat effectiveness, while females were divided into holy females, first-level females, second-level females, etc. according to their fertility. Even the cubs over five years old were divided according to their talents and the degree of awakening of their supernatural powers.

He was already five years old, and without his father's concern, no one in the tribe had expected him to be old enough to start training. This was the first time he had sought help from the tribe since his mother left.

A sturdy man came out, and seeing the skinny and dirty Jing Qi, he frowned and asked, "It's Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"

Jing Qi bowed deeply to him and repeated what he had said to Xiao Lin. "Uncle Chief, my brother is too weak to withstand the long journey. I will work hard to strengthen myself outside and not bring shame to our Winged Lion Tribe!"

The clan leader didn't care who he went with. He hummed and said a few polite words: "It's a rare opportunity for you to have this opportunity. It's good for you to go out and see more of the world."

"Then I leave my brother Xiaolin to the tribe. I hope he can become a warrior like my father and protect our Winged Lion Tribe."

Donut blinked, "Tsk, it turns out that children without parents' protection are very cunning." Jing Qi's two sentences were both to support his brother and asked the clan not to treat Jing Lin too harshly.

With his elder brother who followed the traveling merchants and whose development is uncertain in front of him, and their father who is a hero behind him, the clan has to take care of Jinglin to some extent.

“Oh oh oh, the little disaster star is leaving,” a little head popped out of the cave next to it and clapped happily.

Jing Qi clenched his fists. He was young and didn't know much. Apart from inheritance, he learned everything by listening and watching. Everyone said that the two brothers were disaster stars. After Jing Lin had been sickly for so long, they changed their words and called him a disaster star, who had brought disaster to his parents and now his brother. As more and more people said so, he gradually came to believe so.

"Xiaohui, stop messing around!" the chief shouted, but he wasn't really strict, he was just going through the motions, pretending to be nice in front of Jingqi. "Xiaoqi, don't worry. You are all cubs of our Winged Lion Tribe, and you will become first or second level warriors in the future. We will definitely take good care of Xiaolin."

After getting the answer he wanted, Jing Qi smiled and fell to his knees, kowtowed three times honestly.

He even made the donuts dizzy.

Jing Qi said something to Nanny Qiu again, then looked back at his own cave with longing, and sure enough, he saw his younger brother Xiaolin peeking through it.

With tears in his eyes, he stood on tiptoe and waved his hands vigorously, then turned around and left silently with tears in his eyes.

The sadness of her crying made Donut suddenly feel that she had gone too far in her joke. She couldn't help but climb onto his shoulders, pursed her lips and whispered, "Hiss, don't cry, I, I won't eat you at all!"

Jing Qi heard the voice and turned his head, and saw Donut looking at him with his head tilted.

"But did I save your life?" Donut raised his chin slightly.

"Lord Water Monster? You really don't want to eat me anymore?" Jing Qi asked with tears in his eyes, full of disbelief.

"Of course I only eat fish and shrimp from the lake, or wild animals, birds, and mice. I don't eat beastman flesh," Donut hummed. "You mistakenly thought I wanted to eat you. Do I look scary?"

Jing Qi asked stupidly: "Then, do I not have to jump into the river to feed you? Can I still stay in the tribe and accompany my brother?"

"Of course... no!" Donut said fiercely as he immediately became happy. "We have a saying that goes, if you save my life, I will repay you with my life. I saved you, and you are mine! From now on, you have to follow me wherever I go."

Jing Qi smiled and nodded vigorously. As long as he didn't die, he would work hard to become stronger, and finally protect his brother and rescue his mother. "Okay, Master Water Monster, I'll listen to you!"

Donut didn't expect him to respond so straightforwardly, and snorted, "Don't worry, since you are mine, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice. Let's go, let's go see our brother! Do you want to eat fish and shrimp? I caught a lot, they are so fresh and sweet, especially delicious."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Jing Qi couldn't help swallowing it, "Can my brother eat it? I'll go to the stream tomorrow and catch some fish and shrimp for the water monster."

"Of course," Donut nodded.

Jing Qi walked back happily, "Lord Water Monster..."

"Don't call me Lord Water Monster, that's my brother's skill. My name is Ji Nuan, and my nickname is Donut."

"My name is Jingqi, and my brother is Jinglin. Father and mother hope that we can be like the Qilin mythical beast and become the most powerful warriors in the tribe!" Jingqi had a bright smile on his face, almost outshining the afterglow in the sky.

Back in the cave, the donut jumped off his body and became as thick as a finger. She took out something from the storage ring on her tail, "Let's have a simple meal tonight, just some river porridge... The water is taken from Luoyue Lake, and there are shrimps, clams and crabs in it... This is rice, glutinous rice... oil, salt, wild ginger, wild onions..."

When they go out, they have a set of kitchen utensils and seasonings. No matter how bitter the food is, they will not let their stomachs suffer. "Prepare these shrimps first... add scallions, ginger and oil to sauté until fragrant, add the shrimp heads and stir-fry until the shrimp oil comes out, add water and boil, then discard the shrimp heads..."

Donut was in charge of opening the mouth and making Jing Qi run around. They were downwind, the kind where the wind blew into the cave, and they were slightly remote, so no matter how delicious their food was, other orcs couldn't smell it very well, and even if they did, they wouldn't think it was them.

When it was getting dark, the seafood porridge was finally cooked, and Donut turned into a two-year-old baby, holding the wooden bowl and drinking...
