Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 102 Intruder?
Ban Mu hugged Cheng Mo tightly, and the two of them hid in a tree together. Under the tree, there were several orcs wearing tattered animal skins. Some were not even wearing animal skins, but just wrapped a large leaf around their bodies as clothes. They were covered in dust and looked so thin that they seemed as if a gust of wind could blow them down. They were carefully looking for something here.
Cheng Mo gently patted Ban Mu's hand to signal him to let go. Ban Mu slightly loosened his hand, and the two of them looked at the orcs below together.
"Hey! Xiaohua, there are wild fruits here!" One of the thin children quietly waved to the other child. The child secretly glanced at the others who were still looking for food, and hurried to the child. The two of them ignored the sharp thorns between the branches, and directly reached out to pluck a handful of wild fruits and stuffed them into their mouths.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the people around, and they all turned around to see what was happening. When their eyes fell on the two children, they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed - they saw that the two of them were actually eating fruit secretly!
Suddenly, there was a roar of anger in the crowd. Some people were so angry that they were shaking all over. They raised their fists and rushed towards the two children, shouting angrily: "Okay! How dare you two eat alone without telling anyone!"
The other people who heard the noise also turned around hurriedly. After seeing the situation clearly, they all showed anger on their faces and rushed towards the two children who were eating like hungry tigers, trying to snatch the wild fruits from their hands. In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic.
The two children who were besieged covered their mouths tightly, trying their best not to vomit the wild fruits they had just eaten. Because if they vomited, all their efforts would be in vain. Fortunately, the crowd did not really want to hurt the two children, but just wanted to teach them a lesson. After venting their anger a little, everyone turned around and picked the remaining wild fruits to fill their stomachs.
Before long, the cluster of trees that were originally full of fruits was robbed clean, leaving only a few withered leaves hanging alone on the bare branches.
The two children struggled to support each other and stood up from the ground, but at this time the others had no time to pay attention to them and continued to move forward into the distance.
The two children dragged their injured legs and walked towards the river with difficulty. With every step they took, their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if they might fall down at any time. Finally, they came to the river, lying on the bank exhausted, greedily sucking the clear and cold water in the river with their mouths. When they were starving, the river water became their only comfort, temporarily alleviating the pain brought by hunger and emptiness.
When they felt a little full, they lay down on the grass by the river. Their bodies were covered with wounds, and the blood had coagulated and mixed with the soil. At this moment, it was difficult for them to even stand up, let alone chase the group of people. Moreover, after going through so many things, they had already lost trust in those people and were unwilling to go with them again.
They come from a small tribe, so small that it doesn't even have an official name. Although life is hard, everyone is content with what they have.
However, fate ruthlessly tore apart this tranquility. One day, a group of wandering orcs suddenly attacked their tribe. At that time, they were lucky to be hidden in a cave by the tribe leader in time, so they escaped by chance. But when they returned to the tribe, the scene before them made them feel heartbroken - all the tribe members were dead on the ground, and the entire tribe was burned to ashes by a raging fire.
The crimes committed by this group of wandering orcs were far more than that. They not only plundered their own tribe, but also plundered other tribes around them. In desperation, the surviving orcs could only gather together and embark on the road of escape.
It was unknown how long it took them to reach this place. Fortunately, there was no shortage of food resources in the wilderness, and they could be found if they looked carefully. However, they did not gather here in an organized manner, but came here on their own, so no one would pity the cubs and females.
During the long journey, many cubs died of hunger, and the females became the targets of the group's venting. To this day, only two cubs survived the team, and the female had already died from the torture. If they were not so weak, they would not have gone along with these people!
Last night, they made up their minds to settle down near this place. After all, there are few huge and ferocious beasts around, which is relatively safe for the two weak and helpless cubs. In addition, there is enough food in the surrounding area, and as long as they explore patiently, they can still make a living.
"Xiaohua, wake up!" The thin child gently shook his companion beside him. As they had to avoid danger at all times, they had not slept for two consecutive days. After replenishing water, they gradually felt sleepy under the warm sun.
"Hmm..." Xiaohua tried his best to pry open his heavy eyelids, but the warm sunshine made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
"Xiaohua, we still have to find a place to stay!" The child shook his companion beside him relentlessly, trying to wake him up.
"Well...get...up..." The child called Xiaohua took a lot of effort to barely stand up. He was really tired.
Finally, the two of them leaned on each other, supported each other, and slowly left the river. After they were far away, Cheng Mo followed them quietly.
At this time, Banmu chose to follow another group of people. Originally, Banmu planned to take Cheng Mo with him to follow the team that went deep into the collection area, but Cheng Mo thought it was too dangerous to leave the two children there, so he decided to follow and observe.
These people moved forward on tiptoe, afraid of making any noise. Seeing them getting closer and closer to the city wall, Banmu was about to step forward to stop them.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard: "Duoduo! Look what treasure I picked today!" A female happily raised a huge apple in her hand and ran towards Duoduo.
"Wow! Where did you get it? I didn't even see its shadow today!" Duoduo stared at the big apple with envy and asked anxiously.
"Hehe! Guess." The female proudly held the apple and placed it in front of Duoduo.
Duoduo's eyes were wide open at the temptation of the fragrance of apples. Apples were his favorite fruit, but there were only two apple trees in the collection area and there were not many fruits, so everyone just picked them at random.
"Come with me, I'll take it!" The female put the large-cap stocks into Duoduo's bamboo basket, took Duoduo's hand and prepared to leave.
"Hey! Don't go!" An orc jumped out from the bushes. He was tall, with slender limbs, and his face was covered with mud. As he approached Duoduo and the others, the stench from his body spread over them.
