Chapter 52 Bad Luck
"Xiao Mo!" Suddenly a shout came from the air. Cheng Mo looked up and saw Ban Mu flying over. Cheng Mo quickly waved and said, "I'm here!" Hearing the voice, Ban Mu was so anxious that he swooped down from a high place.
Banmu changed into a human form in mid-air and jumped down. Cheng Mo was anxious to catch him, but Banmu was frightened and quickly dodged. As soon as Banmu landed, he protected Cheng Mo. He stared at the tall orc in front of him. Xiongbai quickly stood between the two and explained, "Hey! Banmu, this is from the Rhino Horn Tribe..." Xiongbai then remembered that they didn't know what the orc's name was.
The big rhino sniffed and said, "Don't be nervous, big brother. I'm Xiya from the Rhino Horn Tribe, and I'm this child's uncle." As he said that, he raised the little rhino in his hand to signal.
Ban Mu did not let his guard down. He was still hunting outside at the time. Then he heard a female orc shouting to the orcs of the Wolf Fang tribe to come back quickly, saying that a huge strange orc had come into the tribe. He was afraid that Cheng Mo would be in danger, so he quickly put down his prey and flew over.
"Banmu, it's okay." Cheng Mo behind him patted the tense muscles on Banmu's arms, and Banmu finally relaxed.
Cheng Mo handed Cheng Lingqu to Ban Mu, and Cheng Lingqu lay on Ban Mu obediently without making any noise. Although he wanted to lie on his father's body, he knew that now was not the right time. Then Cheng Mo said, "Don't stand outside, come and sit for a while."
Everyone followed Cheng Mo to the cave entrance. Xiya held the little rhino and sat on the wooden bench at the entrance. His tall body huddled on the bench, carefully protecting the little rhino on the wooden table. Cheng Mo smiled and handed over a bowl of hot water. Xiya thanked him and then poured the hot water on the little rhino. The others had no time to stop him. After the hot water was poured on the little rhino, the little rhino rolled comfortably.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Mo looked at all this in confusion. Xiya smiled sheepishly and said, "We in the Xijiao tribe love water. We can recover faster in the water after being injured."
Cheng Mo and Xiong Bo looked at each other. They were discussing whether to let the little rhino soak in water, but they didn't expect that the people from the Rhino Horn Tribe would pour a bowl of water when they came up. Xiya held the little rhino on his lap and touched it. Looking at the mottled marks on the little rhino's body, he felt distressed again: "Those stray orcs are damnable!"
Cheng Mo also agreed, "It's damn right!" After that, he picked up the ceramic bowl in front of him and prepared to drink a sip of water. As soon as he swallowed it, he felt a pain in his throat. He coughed painfully. Ban Mu, who was standing behind him, patted his back anxiously. The people around him looked at Cheng Mo at a loss.
"Ahem! I, I'm fine!" Cheng Mo waved his hands and Ban Mu quickly took some of the water away from him. Cheng Mo wiped the water from the corners of his mouth and complained quietly: "What bad luck! I fell while walking and choked when drinking water. Did I break some heavenly law?"
Suddenly, Cheng Mo remembered the deal he had made with 079. 079 agreed to take over Cheng Mo's body, but the price was seven days of luck, right?! Does this mean he will be unlucky for seven days?! Cheng Mo swallowed his saliva. When a person is unlucky, everything goes wrong. Before Cheng Mo could stand up, he felt hot on his head. Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment. Ban Mu behind him was at a loss and wanted to help wipe the dirt off Cheng Mo's head.
Cheng Mo stood there in astonishment. He didn't dare to reach out and touch his head. He had already anticipated what was on it...
really--
"Xiao Mo, why don't we go wash up?" Ban Mu wiped the bird droppings on Cheng Mo's head twice but failed. He could only suggest in a low voice.
Cheng Mo closed his eyes and nodded stiffly. The people around him looked at him worriedly, but he was in no mood to say anything. He could only turn around and follow Ban Mu away without even saying hello.
"Ding Dong! Host, you will face bad luck in the next seven days. It is recommended that you stay at home and do not go out." 079's gloating voice sounded, and Cheng Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. Although he did not regret his choice at that time, he really did not want to experience this unlucky feeling again.
So for the next few days, Cheng Mo stayed in the cave. Even so, he would occasionally get pooped on the head by a bird that appeared from nowhere, or be scratched by bamboo strips when weaving a bamboo basket, or have his animal skin clothes burned by sparks from the stove... Ban Mu was terrified by all these bad things, and he stayed with Cheng Mo and didn't dare to leave.
*
After a few days, Cheng Mo also learned from Ban Mu that the two people from the Rhino Horn Tribe had left. He didn't know what the two would experience when they returned, but these things had nothing to do with Cheng Mo anymore. He finally made it to the seventh day. Cheng Mo was crying with scars of all sizes on his body. God knows what bad luck he had experienced in the past few days. It was really too painful!
During these seven days, the orcs below have also been talking about Cheng Mo. Although Banmu said that Cheng Mo was fine at home, they were still very worried about Cheng Mo. So when Cheng Mo came down the mountain, he was greeted by everyone!
"Master Cheng Mo~" the baby in Xiong Bo's arms called out in a baby voice, then stretched out his hands to ask for a hug.
Cheng Mo curiously took the doll, teased it for a few times and asked, "Whose is this?"
The baby fluttered his feet with a smile and replied, "Master Cheng Mo, I am Huihui~"
Cheng Mo looked at the baby in surprise. He still had an impression of Huihui, but he remembered that Huihui was not in human form and could not walk? How come after not seeing him for a few days, Huihui could speak so fluently and could walk, and his face was different from the skinny one before!
Xiong Bai touched Huihui's head with a smile and said, "We are living a good life now, and Huihui's human form is getting better and better. Look at his little arms and legs, they are so strong!" Indeed, Huihui used to appear in beast form, because the human form was too thin, and the beast form was more familiar to the orc cubs. Cheng Mo had only seen the human form of the cubs when they were sick, and never saw it again after that. At that time, the human forms of these children were all skinny little ones. I didn't expect that they have grown so big now, and it is really hard to tell when they are in beast form. They are all a furry ball!
"By the way, Cheng Mo, the Rhino Horn Tribe said they would come to visit you in a few days!" Xiong Bai said, touching Huihui's head.
"Huh? Visit me? Why?" Cheng Mo asked puzzled.
"Just a few days ago, people from our tribe met the chief of the Rhino Horn Tribe at the brick kiln, and their tribe helped us to make bricks. They said they wanted to thank you for saving their chief's child. We didn't expect that the child was the child of the chief of the Rhino Horn Tribe. He looked quite thin." Xiong Bai explained.
"What are you thanking me for? This is my duty! But have you started making bricks again?" Cheng Mo was puzzled. The brick kiln had stopped working a long time ago because the weather was getting colder. Are they starting to make bricks again now?
"Yes, I feel that this year's cold weather cannot be overcome by simply huddling together for warmth. If we can burn more bricks, we can build a kang as you mentioned, and then the winter will be a little better." Xiong Bai felt that this year's winter was becoming more and more unbearable. Ever since Cheng Mo described the function of a kang to him once, he knew that they must build a kang to get through the winter.
"High Priest, we can actually build a kang in the cave. It will be too late to build a house in winter. If the ground freezes, we will have to spend a lot of effort to lay a solid foundation." Cheng Mo knew Xiong Bai's concerns. He had heard that the most deaths in the tribe were in winter every year, and most of them were caused by freezing to death.
"Oh? But isn't this a waste of bricks?" asked Xiong Bai.
"We have enough bricks, but we don't have enough manpower." Cheng Mo took Xiong Bo's hand and walked to the map. He pointed to the center of the map and said, "We will build a house here. I want to build a bigger city, not just a tribe."
