Haitang sat on Shishui's back, the wind felt like knives scraping her face. This time she ran even faster than last time, no wonder Shihu couldn't keep up.
Even modern cars couldn't keep up with this speed. The wind was blowing against her cheeks, forcing Haitang to keep her head down, her face pale.
After running for a day and a night, the beastmen were exhausted and had to stop. Haitang saw the fish not far away and immediately volunteered to grill them, even though she was tired too.
But compared to others who run on foot, she was still much more relaxed. The people who grilled fish with crabapple were very happy. Since crabapple couldn't grill all of them by herself, she would marinate them and grill them for them, while also telling them the techniques.
Even under such circumstances, no one would go hungry. Haitang even found something to cook a pot of wild vegetable soup. The orcs weren't very interested in wild vegetable soup, but once Haitang finished cooking it, they just ate it and drank it.
It tasted great, with fresh fish and wild vegetables mixed together, creating a very flavorful dish. Everyone who ate it wished they could have another bowl.
"No wonder those people kept bragging about how delicious the food was when they were building the city walls. Haitang's cooking skills are indeed excellent." The females in my family are no match for Haitang's.
Huo Ling was also in the group. Huo Ling sat next to Hai Tang. Hai Tang looked at Huo Ling and made her a bowl of soup. Everyone brought their own bowl.
"Um... thank you." Huo Ling said. Hai Tang looked at the once lively boy, who now seemed so depressed, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"What are you thanking me for? We're from the same tribe. Fire Spirit... I should be the one apologizing. You wouldn't have gotten hurt if it weren't for me. But don't be too sad. We'll find more females in the future. We'll find even prettier ones." Haitang said, looking at Fire Spirit.
"Hmm." Fire Spirit nodded. The females of the snake tribe were beautiful and delicate, which he liked. The problem was... that they had betrayed him, and he had been heartbroken for a long time.
However, he quickly said, "Let's not talk about that. Why did you come along? It's such a long and arduous journey. Can you handle it?"
"I've come here because I have something to do," Haitang said. Hearing this, Huoling looked at Haitang. Shishui hadn't brought much with him this time.
What should I say? His main purpose was to take Haitang to the trade fair, so he only brought two baskets of things, unlike the others who carried huge burdens.
Haitang carried a small basket on her back, inside which were the items she was going to trade. Huoling looked at the two of them and said, "This time, Brother Huoqiu said he wants wolf cubs." That was the most important purpose.
"Alright, once they're tamed, they'll be a great help in guarding the house." With wolf cubs, there will be guards everywhere in the village.
Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit nodded and told Haitang to go to sleep that night. Haitang nodded and went to sleep, and the orcs would take turns keeping watch.
Seeing that Huo Ling looked much better, Huo Qiu reached out and rubbed Huo Ling's head. "Don't think too much. This time, let's see if we can get you a handsome orc."
"Hmm." Huo Ling nodded. He and Huo Qiu were cousins. Huo Ling hadn't planned to come out this time, but Huo Qiu saw Huo Ling's expression and brought his cousin along.
His younger cousin has been a good friend of his since childhood, and they still have a good relationship. He doesn't want his younger cousin to be depressed because of a female.
When it was fully light, Huo Qiu immediately set off again. Shi Shui and the others also ate a simple meal and then set off. This time, Hai Tang was smarter than the first day, as she sat down and covered her head.
After traveling for three days and three nights, they finally arrived at the venue of the large trade fair. Haitang looked into the distance and realized that it was even bigger than the first time she had been there.
Huo Qiu let Huo Ling follow Hai Tang, and he arranged for people to build a house. Hai Tang followed Huo Ling, and Huo Ling no longer had many feelings for Hai Tang, treating her like a younger sister.
"Your second uncle will go to exchange things later, and I'll take you with me. At these trade fairs, if you, a female, run around everywhere, you'll be captured and branded as a slave. Then you'll only be able to have children for those slaves." Humans are still useful in this world. Slaves work but don't get to eat, which is the most cost-effective thing.
Fire Spirit applied something to Haitang's face, making it look dark. Haitang's face was fair and she looked delicate. The people in the tribe didn't have many thoughts about Haitang; they mainly felt a subconscious awe and respect for her.
Given the circumstances, Haitang was fair-skinned and approaching adulthood, so it was inevitable that some people would try to take advantage of her.
Hearing this, Haitang nodded. After Shishui finished dealing with the matter, they started cooking. In the morning, they went to exchange things with Haitang, and Huoling followed along.
"Brother Huoqiu said it's a bit unsafe for Haitang to go with you alone, so I'll go with her too," Huoling said, and Shishui nodded.
“I’d like to trade with the livestock,” Haitang said, and Huoling looked at her.
"You still want wolf cubs?" Huo Ling thought Hai Tang wanted wolf cubs, but Hai Tang shook her head.
"No, I want something else." Hearing this, Huo Ling nodded and took Haitang with him. Shi Shui also carried a basket. He already had a wolf cub at home, but he wanted to get another one.
However, this thing is a bit rare. The tribe seems to want to raise it too, but forget it... he doesn't want it. The livestock trade is all done by people from nearby tribes.
When Haitang and the others went to look, they searched around before finally finding the foal. It was very small and probably not long old. "How much is it?"
"You're talking about something, a tiger skin," the opponent immediately retorted, and Huo Ling frowned upon hearing this.
