Chapter 97
Yu Sui was startled and would have almost jumped up if he hadn't been afraid of throwing the skinny boy away.
He patted his chest, where his heart was pounding, with his empty hand, and thought with lingering fear, I don't know what this guy is talking about. Why can't he understand anything?
Orcs have been trading with humans for many years and can understand human language, but he couldn't hear a word the young man said. Could it be the dialect of some other place?
"Are you okay?" Afraid that the boy didn't understand, Yu Sui tried to communicate with sign language, but his other hand was in the boy's hand and was clenched tightly.
The young man looked frail, but unexpectedly he had quite a strong grip. Seeing that he looked very bad, Yu Sui did not resist.
After the boy finished speaking the unknown language, he took a long, deep breath, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
Most orcs have short hair for convenience, but the boy has long black hair, and his eyes are as dark as the night sky. His facial features are delicate but not feminine, and his thin body actually has smooth muscle lines.
Unconsciously, Yu Sui was mesmerized by the scene. With his looks, it would be a shame if he didn't become an idol.
It took a long time for the young man to come back to his senses and begin to realize his situation. His eyes fell on the rough and tattered animal skin clothes on his body, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.
Yu Sui had been observing his expression, and seeing this, he said embarrassedly, "I'm not very good at making clothes. Your clothes are soaked and can't be worn, so I made you a set of animal skin clothes first."
Hearing this, the young man raised his head, his eyes reflecting the appearance of the 20-year-old.
The afterglow shone through the gap in the door, casting a circle of golden light on Yu Sui.
He was stunned, and when Yu Sui's eyes turned to worry, he said, "Thank you."
After coming to his senses, he realized that he was still holding the wrist of the orc cub in front of him, and he let go suddenly as if he was burned.
The young man propped himself up and turned his head to look around. The simple animal skin tent was consistent with his impression of the orcs' poverty.
"You saved me? Are you a cub of the Snow Wolf Clan?"
The sound of waves kept coming from their ears. In order to avoid the wind, Yu Sui and his friends chose to set up tents behind a reef. The sound was louder as they were close to the sea.
The boy's expression turned confused. "As far as I know, the Snow Wolf Tribe doesn't have any tribes living by the sea."
Yu Sui scratched his head. "Do you often come here with the caravan? How do you know us orcs so well? Do you know Loft?"
It would be great if we knew each other. The caravan would be here soon, and then we could let him follow us back to the human country.
The boy looked even more confused, as if he had no idea what he was saying.
"Ah, if you don't know Loft, then you might not be from the same country. I remember there was a human caravan called something..."
Yu Sui thought about it for a long time in frustration but couldn't remember it. However, if he asked Loft, he should be able to send the boy home. He remembered that the Xiren caravan had a large sphere of influence.
Loft would certainly be happy to be paid with white wine or berry wine.
The boy's expression became more and more strange. Suddenly, his body shook and he reached out to touch his ear. The moment he touched it, his expression changed from disbelief to gritted teeth.
Then he said a lot of words in a strange language. Although Yu Sui didn't understand it, he thought it was quite pleasant to the ear.
Just looking at the boy's angry look, he was a little confused. Could it be that he was scolding the person who hurt him?
Judging from the way he dresses, he is not an ordinary person. His conversation and mannerisms are noble. He is probably either a nobleman or a descendant of the royal family.
Such people would end up in the Dream Continent after going through a lot of open and secret struggles, and the process may have been bloody and brutal.
Thinking of this, Yu Sui looked at the boy with sympathy. To take care of the boy's feelings, he said in a cautious tone: "Are there bad guys chasing you? Anyway, the caravan can't come through in winter. Why don't you come back to the tribe with us first?"
The boy's sullen expression changed again and again, and he managed a smile, "Thank you, I really don't have anywhere to go."
As he spoke, he touched the silver ring with ancient patterns on his left hand, gradually fell into thought, and his expression became distorted from time to time.
"Xiao Yu, the human you picked up has woken up?" Xu's voice came.
Qi opened the tent, looked the young man up and down, and then turned his gaze to Yu Sui.
"He's alive, don't worry about him."
"But leaving him alone...it's very dangerous here, and he can't eat much food."
Leaving the young boy alone in the fantasy continent will not only turn him into Robinson Crusoe. This is not a small deserted island, and the danger is not just cannibals. Various magical beasts and harsh environments can easily take his life.
The young man didn't look like a high-level swordsman. Yu Sui took a quick look and saw that he didn't have any calluses on his hands.
Swordsmen who have practiced martial arts for many years have thick calluses on their hands, which shows that the boy is not a warrior.
The boy's body stiffened. The feeling of being disliked by the orcs made him grit his teeth secretly, and he forced himself not to make a sound.
Xu walked in with a smile and opened the tent curtain. "The human is so weak. If he is left alone on the beach, he will die. Let's bring him back to our tribe. He won't have much food to eat."
If it weren't for this reason, Yu Sui would not have asked to keep the boy. In this way, it was a life, not to mention that he had black hair like his compatriots in his previous life. He couldn't bear to leave him alone.
Qi's expression was not very good, but he didn't say anything else considering Yu Sui's mood.
Thinking he was worried about boiling salt, Xu patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. It's okay if humans know about it. They can't even get through the defenses of the elves and the Golden Kingdom. It won't affect us."
Without responding to Xu's words, Qi lowered his eyes to look at the cub's expectant and cautious eyes, and sighed softly.
"Okay, little patriarch." He said to Sui in a doting tone, and his threatening eyes swept over the boy.
The call of "little patriarch" made Yu Sui's ears turn red. This feeling was completely different from when the minotaur called him.
His teeth felt inexplicably sore, Xu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and withdrew his hand from Qi's shoulder.
"Then I'll heat up some porridge for you. You just woke up, so you can't eat anything too greasy."
Finally, Qi agreed to let the boy stay. Yu Sui smiled and said to the boy with a stiff expression.
"No need, I..." The young man hesitated and touched the silver ring in annoyance.
"Huh?" Yu Sui turned his head with a questioning look on his face.
The boy awkwardly withdrew his hand that was about to stop him, "Nothing, I just wanted to say sorry for bothering you."
Smiling, Yu Sui said, "It's okay, get well soon."
Qi took the basin from Yu Sui's hand and went to heat it by the fire.
Yu Sui, who was following behind, silently counted on his fingers. Uncle Robert, Mimi, the humans, and the little gray falcon still in its eggshell, he had already added so many mouths to the tribe...
