It rained all night, but luckily it stopped in the morning. Cheng Mo stopped Ban Mu from following him with a bamboo basket: "You stay at home and have a good rest. I'll go down the mountain and dig some cabbage."

Banmu shook his head: "No, I only hurt my hand, not my leg. Besides, as a male, I can do a lot of things even if I'm injured."

Cheng Mo thought about it and agreed to let Ban Mu go down the mountain with him, but he refused Ban Mu's other help. Ban Mu followed Cheng Mo down the mountain obediently, and looking at the square fields, he opened his mouth in surprise: "Is this a miracle! Why are these plants growing so neatly!"

Cheng Mo looked at the vegetable patch in confusion: "What kind of miracle is this? I planted all these. Don't you have anyone planting crops over there?"

"Farming?" Banmu looked at Cheng Mo in surprise: "What is farming? I don't know what other tribes are like, but no one in the tribe I used to stay in knows how to farm."

"Once?" Cheng Mo keenly caught the key words in Ban Mu's words.

Banmu lowered his head, a little bewildered: "I am from the Winged Tiger Tribe. Ten days ago, many people in the tribe died. The tribe leader and the high priest said that it was because the prey I brought back was from the Land of God's Punishment, so the gods were angry and cursed me, causing many deaths in the tribe... After that, I was expelled, and now... I am a wandering orc..."

Seeing Banmu's cautious look, Cheng Mo tried to raise his hand to pat Banmu's head but could only touch Banmu's shoulder. So he patted Banmu's shoulder and said, "It's okay. You are a wandering orc. I am also a wanderer. I don't have any tribesmen. If you don't mind, live with me." Banmu immediately turned around and looked at him as soon as he said this: "Don't you mind? I am a wandering orc!"

Cheng Mo didn't understand why Ban Mu was so excited. He quietly asked the system: "System, why is he so excited? Does the wandering orc have any special meaning?"

"Host, the wandering orcs in this world are considered to be disliked by the gods and are a symbol of bad luck. Generally speaking, wandering orcs cannot stay in one place for a long time, as they will be considered to bring a curse to that place." The system said indifferently.

"Will it really bring a curse to this place if I invite him to live here?" Cheng Mo was a little worried, but when he saw Ban Mu's excited face, he became hesitant.

"No, there is no such thing as a curse in this world." The answer given by the system made him feel at ease, but what puzzled him more was that if there was no such thing as a curse, then why was Ban Mu driven out?

"It's just the selfishness of those in power." Cheng Mo understood the system's answer. He turned around and looked at Ban Mu who was worried. Anyway, he had been living alone for nearly a year. It was just raising an orc. No problem!

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of the curse." Cheng Mo patted Ban Mu's shoulder, "You will live here with me from now on."

When Ban Mu heard this, his eyes widened, his expression excited but a little hesitant: "Thank you, you are a good female, but I can't hurt you." Cheng Mo interrupted him before he finished speaking: "It's very dangerous for me to live alone now. If you want to thank me, then stay and work for me like a cow or a horse... No! Stay and live with me!"

Banmu was so grateful that he couldn't express it. He could only swear with determination: "I will protect you well in the future. I swear in the name of the Beast God!"

Cheng Mo smiled, pointed at the cabbages in the vegetable field and said, "Then let's celebrate today. Dig three cabbages and go back. Then we'll go to the river and catch some big fish. We'll have a fresh meal tonight!"

After a busy morning, the two returned to the cave with six big fish and three large cabbages. It rained heavily last night and there was a lot of water at the entrance of the cave. Cheng Mo put down what he was holding and directed Ban Mu to make a fire.

Banmu turned his head excitedly and looked around, but didn't find any flint, so he took out two gray-white stones from the animal skin bag he carried with him, held one in his hand and fixed the other with his foot, and then he knocked the two stones against each other, and soon the fire was lit.

Cheng Mo looked at the flint in Ban Mu's hand curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Banmu looked at him puzzledly: "This is called flint, don't you know? Then what do you rely on to make fire?"

Cheng Mo shook his head: "I usually make fire by drilling one piece of wood on another. I have never seen a flint."

Hearing this, Ban Mu looked at Cheng Mo with a bit of sympathy in his eyes. Not knowing what the other party was thinking, Cheng Mo took a few processed big fish and prepared to grill them, leaving one for fish soup. He had just picked up a nest of bird eggs under a tree, which were probably dropped by the heavy wind and rain last night. It would be a good time to fry them and put them in the fish soup in the evening. It would be so delicious.

Thinking of the delicious fish soup, Cheng Mo couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Although he had a vegetable field, it was difficult for him to eat meat. Today, thanks to Banmu, he could have a good meal.

Cheng Mo first boiled a pot of water, then cut a kind of fruit similar to lard into pieces and put it into the stone pot to melt, cracked two bird eggs into the pot, and took them out immediately after they were cooked. Then put the processed fish in and fry both sides, then poured the pot of boiling water into it. After a while, the fish soup turned milky white. After the water boiled, put two fried eggs in and cook for a while before taking them out of the pot, and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on them for garnish.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Banmu swallowed his saliva unwillingly. He had never seen this way of cooking. He had only eaten barbecue since he was a child. Occasionally, the females in the tribe would put the food in water to cook it, but this was the first time he had seen boiled meat so fragrant. He wondered what it tasted like.

After finishing the pot of fish soup, the two sat at the entrance of the cave contentedly. The sun was bright at noon, and the water on the ground slowly disappeared. Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu's left hand and asked, "Is your hand uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, benefactor, don't worry, we orcs have strong recovery ability, I will be fine in another reincarnation month." Banmu patted the fixation plate on his hand gratefully. In the past, if an orc had a broken bone, he would have to lie down and rest for a reincarnation month, but the benefactor fixed his arm so that he would not touch the broken bone, and he did not need to lie down and rest. The benefactor was so smart, he was smarter than the tribe's high priest!

"A reincarnation month means one month." Before Cheng Mo could ask any questions, the thoughtful system immediately appeared to explain.

"Why do you feel suddenly active after this orc came?" Cheng Mo smiled at Ban Mu, but in his heart he asked the system. You know, this broken system had been silent for ten days or half a month before, and the reason was that it lacked energy. Now that this orc appeared, the system would come out from time to time to show its presence, and would also actively help him answer all his questions.

"Host, the survival system is about to be converted into a guidance system. The system will be upgraded in ten days, and the upgrade time is seven days. During this period, please maintain a good relationship with the orc. He will be your protective shield for a period of time." The sudden upgrade announcement of the system caught Cheng Mo off guard.
