A gloomy, rainy season.
Birds and animals sought shelter from the rain in their nests.
The flowers and plants were bent over by the rain.
Everything in the world seems to be undergoing this baptism, waiting to be transformed again and to be reborn.
Hu Shen would go up the hill every day to check on the condition of the wooden house.
When it rains, the tiger cubs don't come out; he can only catch glimpses of their figures occasionally flashing under the eaves.
The female family has not left the cabin for the past few days.
He observed that every day they would carry a round object to a small wooden hut behind the yard, and then come out quickly.
Sometimes I'll stay inside a little longer.
He had excellent eyesight, and even during the rainy season, he could see more clearly than other orcs.
Females visit more often, sometimes seven or eight times a day, while males visit less frequently.
Hu Shen was a little curious. What was that little wooden house for?
Why do all the female animals go, but the tiger cubs never go?
He will definitely ask a female when he has the chance.
...
Su Tang hasn't been feeling well lately.
Since the rainy season began, she has had a feeling of being watched again.
It's fine at other times, but the feeling of being watched is especially noticeable when I go to the toilet.
She even wondered if she was hallucinating from being cooped up at home for so long because of the rain.
Su Tang held up the umbrella Lin Xia had made and looked around suspiciously.
She could see nothing but rain as heavy as a waterfall.
"Strange, could it really be my imagination?"
Su Tang muttered to herself as she quickly returned to the backyard.
After entering the house, we arrived at the front hall.
Xiao Fu and Da Qing sat at the doorway, while their five kittens lay lazily at their feet, looking utterly dejected.
The kittens are getting depressed from being cooped up at home.
"Brother Daqing, why were you expelled from the tribe and turned into a wandering beastman?"
Xiao Fu looked at the blue mark on Da Qing's forehead and asked with a curious expression.
Daqing subconsciously touched his forehead and shook his head.
"I don't know. My mother was a wandering beastman, so I was born a wandering beastman."
The mark of a wandering orc cannot be erased; even if the flesh is cut off, the mark will remain imprinted on the bone.
This is the greatest punishment for the wandering orcs.
"I see. Then why was your mother expelled from the tribe?" Xiao Fu continued to ask.
Their original tribe was just a small tribe, and it was a mixed tribe with all sorts of orcs.
From a young age, Xiao Fu loved listening to the orcs in the tribe tell stories of what they had seen and heard outside.
Daqing shook his head again.
"I don't know either. I must have made some big mistake or done something really outrageous."
He had no memory of his father and mother.
I also didn't have the chance to learn their story.
There's nothing worth knowing about the stories of wandering orcs; telling them would only earn them contempt from other orcs.
Seeing that Daqing was in low spirits, Xiaofu quickly said:
“Brother Daqing, no matter if you are a wandering beastman or not, you are still my brother. You are good at hunting, and you help my father with his work. You can also protect everyone when there is danger. I want to be as good as you in the future!”
"Really?" Daqing asked, his eyes shining brightly.
"Really." Xiao Fu nodded seriously, "You're even more amazing than my former tribesmen!"
Daqing asked curiously, "What was your previous tribe like? Was it the same as the Gray Wolf Tribe?"
He didn't actually know what the Gray Wolf tribe was like.
Wandering orcs are not allowed to enter the Horde.
He had never seen what the inside of a tribe looked like in his entire life!
Xiao Fu shook his head, still feeling somewhat melancholy when talking about his former tribe.
“It’s different. Our tribe has four leaders: a white wolf, a cat beast, a leopard, and a fox beast. They fight every day, but only the white wolf and the leopard have ever won. The cat beast and the fox beast have always been the ones getting beaten up.”
Xiao Fu recounted stories about his tribe in the past.
Su Tang didn't know what the tribe used to be like, so she moved a small stool over and listened.
Their former tribe was called the Black Mountain Tribe, which was originally the place where cat-like beastmen lived.
The cat tribe had more females than males and a strong reproductive capacity. Later, it was occupied by the leopard beastmen, and other beastmen from other tribes joined in, making it a mixed tribe.
There are few mountains and short trees there, so large prey is rarely seen.
Even the stones here are different; they are black.
Daqing listened with great interest, his face full of longing.
The five kittens were purring softly, and having rolled over on their backs, they had somehow crawled up to Su Tang's feet and were fast asleep next to her.
When Su Tang heard Xiao Fu mention the black stone, she felt like she had overlooked something.
However, her doubts were quickly washed away by the sound of rain outside.
The Black Mountain tribe no longer exists, and its former members have long since dispersed, so there should be no further contact between them.
...
The heavy rain lasted for ten days before it finally stopped.
On the eleventh day, the sun finally broke through the clouds.
Under the eaves, the remaining raindrops dripped down, like transparent pearls scattered in the sunlight, landing on the stones on the ground with a crisp sound.
As soon as the rain stopped, Xiao Fu couldn't wait to go to the chicken coop to see his chickens.
These days, Su Guodong has been wearing a raincoat and braving the rain to feed the chickens.
Su Guodong also went to the field to check on his apple trees and the crop seedlings in the nursery as soon as possible.
Daqing even transformed into its beast form and flew several times over the forest before returning.
People who are used to being busy can feel like they're going to rot if they're suddenly stuck at home for ten days.
Su Tang wiped the shelf in the front yard dry, and together with Lin Xia, they took out the wet clothes from the house to hang them out to dry.
