"No, you are a female, why do you want to go so far? It's very dangerous!" Ling Yun immediately disagreed.
Song Mu said, "It's not just a matter of danger. The trading location is very far from the tribe. It would be very difficult for a female like you to travel."
Now they live in spacious and bright houses and sleep on soft animal skins. This is the life a female should live.
"With you guys here, I won't be in danger, and I'm not afraid of hard work. I want to go out and take a look, Ling Yun, Song Mu. I don't want to stay in the tribe all my life."
Lin Qiu held Ling Yun and Song Mu's hands, she believed that they would protect her.
Moreover, Lin Qiu wanted to go out and see how much similarity this world had with the human world.
Ling Yun and Song Mu looked at each other.
There was really no way they could refuse Lin Qiu's words, so they nodded. "Then we need to prepare well. Xiaoqiu, after we leave the tribe, you must listen to me and Song Mu and never do anything dangerous."
Ling Yun grabbed Lin Qiu's hand and met all her requests.
"good!"
When Lin Qiu heard that they were willing to take him out, he was very happy. He reached out and hugged Ling Yun, rubbing his neck again and again.
Song Mu silently opened his hands.
Lin Qiu let go of Ling Yun and hugged Song Mu again.
Well, luckily she only has two males, otherwise if she carried them one by one, it would be dark by then.
Since Lin Qiu was going with them, Ling Yun and Song Mu naturally had to be fully prepared.
There was no need to worry about food, as they had been getting their food from the forest. They just had to bring enough bamboo tubes to ensure that Lin Qiu had water to drink at any time, and also some animal skins. Now that the weather was getting colder, the males could find a cave outside to sleep in, but Lin Qiu needed two animal skins to cover himself.
In addition, there were some small items needed for female daily life, which Ling Yun and Song Mu received in two animal skin bags. They also brought a roll of straw mat to isolate insects when Lin Qiu was sleeping.
In order to get back in time for the rainy season, everyone in the tribe set out the next day.
The male team responsible for the exchange consists of twenty people, which is close to one-tenth of the adult males in the tribe. They are all orcs with females, and almost one is selected from every family.
Each orc was traveling in the form of an animal, with a huge animal skin bag hanging on each side of his body, which was filled with their pickled meat and dried meat.
Lin Qiu sat on Ling Yun, pulled up his animal skin clothes to block the wind, and followed a group of orcs galloping in the forest.
She was looking forward to what she would encounter in this transaction.
After three days of trekking, they arrived at the central trading center of the Somali continent.
The people of the Tiger Tribe placed the animal skin bags in a cave outside the trading center, leaving half of them to guard the cave, while the others transformed into human form and entered the trading center with one of the pickled meat and dried meat.
When they came over, many orcs were staring at this unique team, simply because there was a female among them.
Lin Qiu was not sure whether this was the trading center. In her imagination, the trading center should be like a big fair held by several villages in the mountains, with each tribe setting up a stall and it was clear what was needed.
But here everyone carries their own animal skin bags and asks others if they want the goods they have.
Lin Qiu was a little puzzled. She asked Ling Yun, "Why don't you all put your things out there? Wouldn't it be easier to trade that way?"
Ling Yun shook his head. "It's easy to get robbed. There are a lot of orcs here, it's not very peaceful, and it's easy for conflicts to arise. If we put it out there and someone starts a fight, we'll easily be implicated."
When Ling Yun said this, Lin Qiu felt that there was some truth in it. It seemed that this trading center had no law and order.
Soon, someone came over and asked them, "What did you bring? Is this female for exchange?"
No females would come to this trading center, and everyone was staring at them, thinking that the tribe was really struggling, so they were carrying the females from the tribe over for exchange.
Ling Yun said, "You misunderstood. We brought some animal meat for exchange. What's in your tribe's package?"
The person who came to ask questions lost interest when he heard that the female would not be replaced and it was just some animal meat.
There is nothing special about the meat. No one needs it except some small carnivorous orc tribes who have a little demand for it.
Ling Yun didn't have a good impression of the orc who came up to exchange for his Xiao Qiu. Seeing that he was about to leave, he didn't continue to ask questions or explain.
"Ling Yun, look there!" Lin Qiu noticed two orcs trading nearby. One of them was holding a potato the size of a fist, which was more than ten times bigger than the potatoes found around their tribe.
Ling Yun saw it and was also stunned: "Is that a potato too? How come it's so big?"
Lin Qiu said, "It should be this big. We can exchange some and keep them until next year when the weather is mild enough to plant them in the fields. Then we can grow such good varieties ourselves."
"Okay, wait here for a moment. I'll go ask."
Ling Yun went over carrying some dried and pickled meat.
The other orcs also went to find others to exchange, wanting to quickly exchange the things they brought and then rush back to the tribe.
Song Mu took Lin Qiu's hand and found an open space to sit down. Lin Qiu held her chin and watched the orcs coming and going. They traded by chatting and asking questions, so it was not easy for her to see what these people brought.
As soon as Ling Yun walked over, the two orcs who were talking separated, and it seemed that they were having an unpleasant argument.
The male holding the potato was not tall, and his prototype should be a small animal, such as a fox or a cat, Ling Yun guessed.
Bulta was feeling a little dejected. This kind of fruit that their tribe happened to come across while digging a tunnel tasted really good. It was delicious whether eaten raw or heated, and they found a lot of it.
The cold season is approaching, and their tribe wants to exchange this underground fruit for some thick animal skins to withstand the cold winter, but no one is interested...
These ignorant guys!
"What do you want to exchange? Our tribe wants to exchange some of these potatoes."
Ling Yun walked over and asked directly to the point.
Bu'er raised his head and looked at the tall Ling Yun. From his body shape, he could tell that he was a large carnivorous orc with strong hunting ability. Their tribe must have a lot of animal skins!
"You call this a potato? Well, it's literally dug out of the earth. I'm Bu'er, from the Rat Tribe, and the females of my tribe need some thick hides."
Bu'er glanced at the bulging bag on Ling Yun's back, hoping it was animal skin.
"Unfortunately, our tribe didn't bring any animal skins this year. But we have some food. Do you need it?"
