Chapter 456
Humans have a short lifespan, generally only a hundred years, which is why orcs don't want to deal with humans.
So many years have passed, and the old acquaintances of the Xilen Caravan have been replaced by a lot of people. Yu Sui felt sad for a long time.
Old Jack, Loft and others have been dealing with him for decades. He has watched them grow old with his own eyes. Until one year when he came again, one of the familiar faces was missing from the team.
Zhaxi inherited Old Jack's legacy and became a fifth-level chef. If Old Jack were alive, he would definitely be very proud.
Fifth-level chefs are in great demand. If Tashi is willing, some nobles will spend a lot of gold coins to hire him, and the royal family will also warmly welcome him.
But Zhaxi still resolutely inherited his mentor's last wish, and traveled to the Fantasy Continent with Loft's descendants every year.
When he grew old and had white hair, Yu Sui looked almost the same as when they first met (Yu Sui: I’ve grown a lot taller!).
Wolf is very powerful, so his life span is naturally different from that of ordinary people. However, he is the same as before. When Wolf looks sad, he will comfort him.
"Humans are like this. Birth, aging, sickness, and death. Lifespans are short. We can't compare to you orcs, let alone the immortal races. But no matter which race, we will eventually face death. You and I will have that day too. Don't be sad."
His words made Yu Sui feel more open-minded.
Although he has the body of an orc, his soul is still that of a human. He will feel sad when familiar people leave. Especially now that he has a long life, he has a deeper understanding of this.
On the day they came of age, Yu Sui and Qi finally moved into the house they had newly built, which was next to the one Yu Sui had lived in before, sandwiched between Heiyan and Lu's house and Yu Sui's house.
Xiaochu has grown into a tall young man. Although he is not an adult yet, his appearance is intimidating enough.
When facing Yu Sui, Xiao Chu still had the heart of a child. He was reluctant to let his brother leave, so he bent down and held Yu Sui in his arms, hugged his waist like when he was a child, and snuggled in Yu Sui's neck, acting clingy and coquettish.
"Brother, why don't you stay here? It's not the same as before. Otherwise, you can stay at Brother Qi's place for a few days, and stay at our house for a few more days..."
The handsome blond young man looked down at Yu Sui with tears in his eyes, which was very shocking.
Yu Sui felt amused and a little bitter in his heart. He gently stroked Xiao Chu's head and said, "You are almost an adult, why are you still so crybaby? Be careful that Xiao Hua and the others will laugh at you."
Xiaochu rubbed the top of her head in his palm and said, "I don't care. They don't have a brother, so how can they know my mood? Brother, don't move away."
"That's enough." Qi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out with a dark face and grabbed Xiaochu's collar, and with his other hand, he hugged Yu Sui into his arms.
He had been looking forward to Yu Sui finally coming of age, but what would he do if this kid could coax Yu Sui into refusing to live with him with just a few words?
"When I was your age, I was already able to hunt on my own. You should also take on the responsibilities of an orc as soon as possible and share the burden with your brother." Qi said in a deep voice.
Speaking of this, Yu Sui thought of Xiaochu's mother.
There was a riot in the Golden Kingdom a few years ago, and the chaos has continued until now. A while ago, Dahua brought a few confidants here to exchange food. He heard from him that the original Beast King is now at a disadvantage, and there are not many orcs in the kingdom who are loyal to him.
The other faction opposing him was led by a female warrior from the Golden Lion tribe, who was once one of the six generals together with Dahua.
I think that is Xiaochu's mother.
Dahua looked very depressed at that time. Although he joined another faction, many people in the Tiger Clan joined the Beast King and refused to repent no matter how their fellow tribesmen tried to persuade them.
Facing his own people on the battlefield, Dahua felt uncomfortable regardless of winning or losing.
But in Yu Sui's opinion, everyone has their own choice. Since Dahua and others can't stand the Beast King's method of selling his own kind, some orcs will turn against him because of the gold coins they get.
The word "rights", whether it is power or interests, is enough to shake people's minds.
Yu Sui was fond of everything Dahua did, so he took some time out to have a drink with Qi.
There is no need to explain those big principles. Yu Sui believes that Dahua also understands in his heart that no matter whether it is the tiger tribe, the leopard tribe, or even the snow wolf tribe, there will be orcs whose minds are confused by interests.
The Heitu tribe is not a monolithic entity. It is just that proper management and booming economic development have suppressed the thoughts of those people.
After all, the humans in the tribe have been influenced by that kind of atmosphere in the human world for many years. After coming to the Black Map Tribe, they also had other thoughts, such as fighting for power and profit, and trying to please the orcs in charge, etc.
If the Beast King came here, Yu Sui couldn't guarantee that someone would betray the tribe's information.
In short, don't have expectations of human nature, but don't be sad because of disappointment. Everyone has different choices.
After drinking some wine and getting drunk, Dahua regrouped and went back with supplies to support his fellow tribesmen.
Yu Sui knew that the female leader was Xiao Chu's mother, so he gave her twice as much food and various dry rations, and Da Hua thanked him profusely.
Now Xiaochu has grown up and the affairs of the Golden Kingdom are coming to an end. It is time to tell him the truth and let him make his own choice.
"Xiaochu, I have something to tell you. This matter is very important."
Yu Sui looked at Xiao Chu, who was still dissatisfied and glaring at him, took a deep breath, and said solemnly.
"What's wrong? Tell me, brother." Xiaochu rarely saw him treat her like this, so he put his head close to Yu Sui and listened carefully.
Seeing his golden head so close to Yu Sui again, Qi clenched his fists and resisted the urge to touch.
"Xiaochu, actually your mother...is not dead. That war was too chaotic, and too many orcs were killed or injured. Your mother gave birth to you on the battlefield, but she was also injured and unconscious on the battlefield, and was taken away by her companions. That's why our mother found you."
Yu Sui looked at Xiao Chu, who was stunned on the spot, and asked nervously, "I recently learned about your mother's identity. She is now the kingdom's general, leading a group of orcs in a rebellion against the Beast King. The rebellion is about to be over. If you want, I can send you to your mother so that you can be reunited."
Xiaochu trembled her lips a few times. She had originally pretended to be tearful in order to make Yu Sui feel distressed, but now her eyes really turned red.
"Brother, don't you want me anymore?"
Yu Sui laughed. Why was this kid's focus so biased? "No, silly child, this will always be your home. No matter what you choose, I will always be your brother. You have no choice but to acknowledge me."
Xiaochu then threw herself into his arms. Due to their height, it looked more like he was holding Yu Sui in his arms. "Brother, I don't know. Let me think about it. Just don't leave me."
Qi looked at the back of his head coldly and put his hands behind his back.
This was the first time he knew about this, so for this reason, let's let this brat go for now.
