Could it be that they're trying to trick him, find out about his assets, and then rob him?
Su Guodong immediately clutched his wallet tightly in alarm:
"My family doesn't have that much meat, we only have fruit."
“We all love eating fruit! We don’t like eating meat!” Niu Li said against his will.
The tiger, monkey, and black eagle behind them all nodded in unison.
"Yes, yes, yes! We all love to eat fruit, but we don't like to eat meat."
Su Guodong was skeptical. Monkeys and cows were one thing, but your tigers and eagles don't eat meat?!
Never mind, maybe the orcs of the ancient continent were different.
Wasn't the gray wolf leader leading the gray wolf orcs to eat fruit?
Thinking about it this way, Su Guodong could accept it.
"So what do you all do?" Su Guodong asked.
If he let these orcs go hunting, I wonder if they'd bring back a lot of prey...
The beasts looked at the still-under-dug reservoir in the distance and answered in unison:
"We're good at digging holes! We're the best at digging holes."
Su Tang, who was walking her cat nearby, also heard the commotion and came over to see Niu Li leading a group of orcs.
Yesterday I was worried that Hu Shen would squander the family fortune, but I never expected that they would be out looking for work today.
It is truly not easy.
She suggested, "Father, aren't you looking for orcs to help you dig a reservoir? You can have them help you dig, and they'll give you food for each day they dig."
These are kind-hearted, hardworking orcs; it wouldn't hurt to share some meat with them.
After all, his family had received a lot of good things from Hu Shen.
Su Guodong was still somewhat hesitant.
“Father, the rainy season is almost over. If we don’t finish digging now, the reservoir won’t be able to hold water until next year,” Su Tang reminded him.
The lack of labor is a major problem.
Water is needed for irrigation and for large-scale rice cultivation.
With that in mind, Su Guodong nodded in agreement.
If you go to the gray wolf tribe, you won't find such strong laborers!
Thinking about it this way, Su Guodong felt like he had hit the jackpot.
Niu Li: Isn't that a huge profit?! They're all powerful orcs from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, expert hunters. You're sending them to dig holes?!
Su Guodong led a group of fierce orcs to dig a reservoir.
When the beasts reached the pit, they saw a male with blue markings on his forehead digging inside with a strange stick.
The beasts were shocked!
Even the wandering orcs are digging holes here!
What kind of monsters are these orcs that can make wandering orcs obey them?
The beasts suddenly felt that the world had become fantastical.
"Daqing, go and get some more hoes and shovels. They're here to dig a reservoir too," Su Guodong told Daqing to fetch the tools.
"Alright!" Daqing loved it when his uncle asked him to do chores.
He dropped the shovel, transformed into a blue eagle, and flew back to retrieve his tools.
The beasts: "..." This uncle is quite powerful.
Surprisingly, this seemingly frail man could make even the wandering orcs obey him.
The beastmen became cautious.
He thought to himself, "No wonder the king didn't immediately take the cubs away; it turns out these beastmen are all hidden masters."
Daqing quickly brought the tools.
There were just too many orcs, and not enough to go around.
Seeing that a large group of orcs were still empty-handed, Su Guodong was having a headache when Niu Li hurriedly said:
“We have claws, we can dig with our claws, we don’t need any tools.”
The tiger, black eagle, and monkey behind them bared their sharp claws and nodded in unison, showing great cooperation.
Even his eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
One must not be careless in the face of a hidden powerhouse!
“Alright, you can dig with Daqing then.” Su Guodong nodded.
Niu Li and the group of orcs jumped into the pit and began digging with heavy breaths. Their claws were indeed powerful; stones were like dirt under their claws.
Before long, a high mound of earth was piled up on top.
Su Guodong then told Daqing to stop digging and start transporting the soil.
The excavated soil could be transported to the fields, which perfectly filled the tree roots and stones in the wasteland.
Seeing that they were indeed working hard and were very efficient, Su Guodong went to farm with peace of mind.
There is a lunch break at noon.
Su Guodong is not a ruthless exploiter.
He told Xiao Fu and Da Qing to go back and get the fruit, and to pay them their "wages" for the morning.
The fruits that the gray wolf leader brought were all uneaten.
"Fruit...fruit..."
Xiao Fu was looking for fruit in the kitchen, but his father hadn't told him which kind of fruit to get!
"Never mind, take some of everything."
He muttered to himself as he carried out several baskets of fruit he had taken from the farm, along with Daqing, from the kitchen.
Apples, sweet potatoes, carrots, oh! And my sister found something new, a green fruit called cucumber, as big as my arm.
So many orcs, they'll eat a lot!
The frame was covered with leaves.
Xiao Fu carried it with a heave-heave-heave.
Daqing delivered it with a series of loud, rhythmic sounds.
The orcs who received the fruit felt as if they had received poison, after all, they had all suffered from diarrhea the night before.
They spurred on by eating the fruit bestowed upon them by the king.
Fruit is terrible! Only meat is the most delicious thing in the world.
Who would go out of their way to eat fruit?
Only a fool would eat that!
The beastmen took the fruit back, but didn't touch it, piling it up in a corner.
"Niu Li, after we finish digging that reservoir, will the king really come back to the tribe with us?"
Now that they've sat down to rest, the beastmen finally have time to ask questions.
“Of course, this is what Wang promised me personally. He said he would leave as soon as the reservoir was dug.” Niu Li answered with certainty.
The beasts were immediately relieved.
"What is the relationship between the king and that female? Why does the king want us to help them dig a reservoir?"
