That's just how times are. In this era and under these circumstances, orcs need to work hard and shoulder the responsibilities they must bear.
Yueyue and Xingxing didn't go back today. At night, Haitang applied medicine to Xingxing and Yueyue. When Dongfanglong looked at Haitang, he directly ruffled Haitang's hair and hugged her.
"Tangtang..." he said while holding Haitang, "Don't be sad, I'm here with you." Hearing Dongfang Long's words, Haitang looked up at Dongfang Long and nodded.
"Yes, I know you're here with me." It wasn't that she felt uncomfortable, but she felt a little strange. Looking at Dongfang Long in front of her, she buried her head in Dongfang Long's arms.
In the era of Begonia, it was a peaceful era. Not to mention children under ten years old, even teenagers were the apple of every parent's eye. Everyone doted on them, afraid that they might get hurt.
The times are different now. Orcs transform into beastmen at the age of ten and must work hard to fight and hunt wild beasts. They start to marry and establish their own households when they turn fifteen.
Each and every incident reveals the cruelty of this world. Haitang has no way to change it, but she can only try to improve it. The tribe is not strong enough right now, so the children have to suffer.
Seeing Haitang's expression, Dongfang Long hugged her and kissed her. Haitang looked up at Dongfang Long, who kissed her cheeks passionately, making her laugh. "Little Long, I'm fine. You're tickling me."
"Are you feeling better now?" Dongfang Long asked, looking at Haitang. Haitang nodded and snuggled closer to Dongfang Long in his arms.
"Yes, I don't feel bad anymore." Haitang nodded and said, "Because you're here, I don't feel bad." Haitang said with a smile.
Because Dongfang Long was there, she wasn't upset. A smile appeared on Haitang's lips, and she looked at people with a gentle expression. "Go to sleep."
There were still things to do tomorrow, so Dongfang Long nodded. When he woke up the next day, Dongfang Long was gesturing with Xingxing and Yueyue not far away, which surprised Haitang.
"Where did you learn all this, Brother Xiaolong?" Xingxing and Yueyue couldn't help but ask when they looked at Dongfang Long. Dongfang Long smiled and ruffled the hair of the two children.
"It's not something I learned, it's instinct." Dongfang Long's skills are excellent; it's an instinct. When he was a child, the people of the Leopard Tribe would watch the spectacle and see humans fighting wild beasts.
People from one's own tribe are not suitable for amusement, so there are certain reservations. Therefore, they are mostly sold. People from other tribes, on the other hand, are treated as commodities and used for various purposes.
Dongfang Long was one of them. When his master was unhappy, he would put him in a cage with wild beasts. When he was happy, he would whip him. He was stubborn.
He directly bit the orc of the leopard tribe, and only then did he plan to take him to exchange for goods. If he hadn't been bought by Haitang, he would have gone to any other place afterward.
They will repeat the same things. In fact, Dongfang Long understands the Tiger Tribe better. The reason why they don't have those scheming and conspiracies is simply because the people here are poor.
Because of poverty, there were fewer schemes and tricks. Also, because they had left behind the descendants of the orcs who had run away from their original tribes at the beginning, they all had a responsibility to take care of them.
If things continue like this, although the orcs of the tribe don't particularly like humans, they certainly won't torment them. Of course, this is a good thing, and because of this, I'm able to live so well here and marry Haitang.
When Xingxing and Yueyue heard this, they looked at Dongfang Long and asked, "Instinct? How can we sense danger like Brother Xiaolong?"
“Sure, as long as you train with me,” Dongfang Long said, indicating his intention to train the children himself.
Haitang watched as Dongfang Long and Xingxing Yueyue, blindfolded, were hitting each other with sticks. "Brother Xiaolong, we can't see like this."
"Even if you can't see it, you won't see someone stab you in the back. You have to rely on your senses, sense danger, and hide. Do you understand?" he said, looking at the two children in front of him.
Dongfang Long also experienced something similar. When he was a child, he would be blindfolded by the orcs of the leopard tribe and made to stand not far away, while they threw stones at him.
After losing themselves, they would see who lost the most. Of course, they weren't the only ones present; there were other races as well.
This is actually a way to toughen up the little orcs, making them more ruthless and showing no mercy to their prey.
The orcs who used stones to pelt humans never knew their own strength. If a human was killed, they would be dragged out to be fed to wild beasts. If the human wasn't killed, they would be thrown back and the same thing would happen again. Under such circumstances, he gradually learned to dodge.
He sensed danger and avoided it. Because of these excellent qualities, he was chosen by the young lord of the leopard clan to be kept by his side as a plaything. Later, he couldn't stand something and bit a beastman of the leopard clan, which led to him being sold off again.
When Haitang looked at Dongfang Long, she pursed her lips. What should she say? She knew all too well how much suffering Dongfang Long had endured in the beginning.
The fierce look in his eyes was a form of self-protection developed from years of bullying. He also had a thin body covered in scars, and even though the scars had healed a lot, some marks were still visible on his body.
When Haitang looked at Dongfang Long, Dongfang Long looked up at Haitang. When he saw the look in Haitang's eyes, he felt a little strange. He felt that his wife was feeling sorry for him.
