What a strange inferior orc. He was looking for a backer but he found him. Didn't he know that his hair was strange? Cui Ling pondered for a moment, raised his paw and took a look. Although it was dirty, he could still tell that it was white fur.
So she knew it, but still wanted to follow him.
Cui Ling snorted, and the breath he exhaled brushed Liang Tan's face. Liang Tan snorted lightly and raised his hand to block his nose in dissatisfaction: "Quiet!"
Cui Ling was immediately displeased. He used his claws to pry her hand open and was about to retort when he suddenly saw several thin wounds on her wrist.
It looked like a scratch made by gravel. Cui Ling frowned when she remembered that she almost died from a wild boar attack.
Liang Tan slept very well that night. When she woke up the next day, the sun had already risen to the middle of the sky. She stretched her body and sat up. It took her a while to realize that Cui Ling was gone.
"Cui Ling?"
No one answered. The empty cave was filled with only echoes. Liang Tan panicked: "Cui Ling! Cui Ling!"
She stumbled out, looking for someone as she ran. In her hurry, she didn't notice the broken branches on the ground and fell to the ground.
She subconsciously supported herself on the ground with both hands. When she realized what was happening, the skin on both palms was broken. She was immediately angry and annoyed: "Cui Ling, you ungrateful bastard! You bastard! I worked so hard to feed you and find food for you, but you just left as soon as you got better. Are you still a human being? No, you are not a human being. You bastard..."
"If you keep scolding me, I'll throw you off the cliff!"
A familiar voice came to his ears, and Liang Tan was stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Cui Ling had already returned to his human form and threw a wild boar to the ground with a dark face.
Liang Tan was at a loss for a moment: "Where have you been?"
"Hunting." Cui Ling walked towards the cave with a stern face. "My wound has burst open. You carry all the pigs in."
Liang Tan quickly followed him: "Where is it broken? Let me see."
She leaned forward to examine it more carefully, and Cui Ling pushed her away with a wooden face. She leaned forward again, looking like a fly with a dizzy head that could not be driven away. Cui Ling snorted lightly, but did not push her away again.
Liang Tan carefully examined him and found that the deepest wound on his waist was bleeding a little, and the other large wounds were also more or less torn. Although it looked scary, it was still within the controllable range. Liang Tan was relieved, but still couldn't help complaining: "Why do you go hunting when you have nothing to do? Now you are fine, but it will take another ten days to recover."
"I do." Cui Ling closed her eyes.
Liang Tan was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around to move the pig. However, after being out for a long time, he finally came back with a shameless face.
"Can't move it?" Cui Ling knew what was going on without opening his eyes.
"...Well, I can't move it." Liang Tan said embarrassedly. This pig must weigh hundreds of pounds, and she tried for a long time but couldn't move it.
Cui Ling sneered and stood up again. Liang Tan saw the blood on his skin and thought about not moving, but after a moment of hesitation, he gave up.
It was too humid outside and the wild boars would rot quickly if left on the ground, and they needed the meat so badly.
...It's just that a certain wolf will have to work hard. Liang Tan sighed, and when he brought the pig in, he immediately applauded and flattered: "Cui Ling is great!"
Cui Ling glanced at her, turned around and walked out.
Liang Tan stood up quickly: "Where are you going?"
"Move the pigs." Cui Ling said without even turning his head.
Liang Tan was stunned: "Hasn't it been moved back?"
"There's more." Cui Ling said and disappeared.
Liang Tan had no choice but to continue waiting. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long before he brought in another pig.
Liang Tan was shocked: "You actually hit both!"
Cui Ling left again.
"Where are you going?" Liang Tan asked again.
"Moving pigs."
Liang Tan: “?”
After repeating this five times, Liang Tan looked at the seven pigs of different sizes and fell silent.
After a long while, she spoke with difficulty: "Did you rob the pig's hometown?"
Cui Ling snorted coldly, turned into a wolf and continued to lie down. Today, he went out for a walk, which directly caused him to rest for more than ten days. Now his limbs are weak and his wounds are aching.
Liang Tan was not anxious even without waiting for his answer. Instead, he was in high spirits because of the mountain and sea of pigs. "Last time I saw A Zhuang and the others, there were several orcs surrounding one pig. You are amazing. You can fight so many pigs by yourself."
Cui Ling still ignored her.
Liang Tan patted his hairy buttocks and said, "Great, Cui Ling!"
Cui Ling's eyelids twitched, and he finally looked at her. Liang Tan smiled and let him look at her. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Cui Ling commented: "You are really a snob."
Liang Tan: “…” Forget it, considering his hard work and great contributions, I won’t bother with him.
Cui Ling casually struck the flint twice, and when the bonfire was lit in the cave, he closed his eyes again: "Next time you go out to pick fruit, you don't have to be afraid of wild boars."
Liang Tan was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became subtle: "You...you caught the pig because you were worried about me?"
Cui Ling pretended to be dead.
"Are you worried about me?" Liang Tan leaned over and rubbed the wolf's head.
Cui Ling continued to play dead.
Liang Tan was in a good mood, petting the big-tailed wolf in front of her like petting a dog. Cui Ling ignored her at first, but gradually he felt something was wrong——
Why did she tickle his chin? Why did she rub his ears? The strangest thing was, why did he feel so comfortable? So light, as if the whole wolf was walking on cotton, so comfortable that he almost wanted to shake his legs?
Before he could figure it out, Liang Tan stopped shaking, and he immediately opened his eyes in displeasure.
"Let's roast a suckling pig." Liang Tan's eyes sparkled.
Cui Ling: “…”
With seven more pigs at home, life suddenly became more comfortable. Liang Tan no longer had to worry about getting meat. All he did was look for firewood and wild fruits, and eat and sleep in the cave. Even his temper improved a lot.
The only flaw is that Cui Ling is too tasteless.
It's not his fault. His wounds haven't healed yet, so he can't take a bath. The blood on his fur has solidified, tying his hair into knots. His body temperature is very high, so the solidified blood is steaming hot. Every time Liang Tan entered the cave, he would smell an indescribable odor.
It's not really stinky, but it just doesn't smell very pleasant, like... a strong smell of dog.
Considering Cui Ling's self-esteem, Liang Tan did not dare to tell him about this. He just leaned on him and stared blankly every day, then sat at the entrance of the cave and stared blankly every day, and finally he simply used the excuse of going out for a walk and did not stay in the cave anymore.
Every time she went out, Cui Ling was very unhappy, but she was unwilling to say anything. She could only watch her leave with a stern face, and only complained a few words when she came back.
The way their relationship works makes Liang Tan feel like a middle-aged couple who have been married for many years and have no love for each other anymore, who dislike each other but cannot divorce for the sake of their children.
Cui Ling just sneered at Liang Tan's description and said, "I can't possibly marry an inferior orc, and I can't possibly have a child with you. Just give up on this idea."
Liang Tan: "...Thank you, I'm not really interested in you either."
Cui Ling looked at her again and didn't respond.
Liang Tan thought he was boring, so she simply went out to look for hay. She had made a lot of gains recently, and it probably wouldn't be long before she could make a bed of her own. But having a bed was just having a bed, but without a quilt, she would still have to sleep with the dirty wolf in winter.
Thinking of this, Liang Tan sighed.
"Liang Tan!"
A clear voice came from behind her. Liang Tan was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw A Zhuang, whom she hadn't seen for several days. She immediately waved happily: "A Zhuang!"
"What are you doing here?" asked A Zhuang.
Liang Tan patted the straw in his arms: "I want to find more of this so I can sleep better."
"What's the use of this? We still have to sleep on animal skins to keep warm." A Zhuang disagreed.
Liang Tan smiled and said, "I haven't seen you recently. What have you been doing?"
"My tribesmen and I went to another mountain to hunt," said A Zhuang, and then he sighed. "The wild boars on this mountain were suddenly wiped out. I don't know who did it. They were so greedy that they even killed the piglets."
Liang Tan, who loved the delicious roast suckling pig: "..."
"There aren't many large prey on this mountain. After the wild boars are gone, there are only rabbits, pheasants and the like. So we'll move to another mountain to hunt." A Zhuang said with a smile.
Liang Tan nodded: "It's also good to change mountains. The leopards have high combat power and should hunt more large prey."
"Not all of our tribe are leopards. We also have rabbits, birds, foxes and so on, so our fighting ability is not that strong," Zhuang said, feeling a little embarrassed. "Even if we move to another mountain, we can still hunt wild boars and the like."
Liang Tan was surprised: "Aren't you from the same clan?"
"Yes, some of our people were abandoned by the tribe because they were not strong enough, and some were lost when the tribe migrated. Anyway, for various reasons, we got together." A Zhuang explained.
Liang Tan's eyes sparkled when he heard this: "So... your tribe is quite tolerant?"
"Of course, we won't abandon any of our tribesmen easily," A Zhuang said proudly. "Even if the child is a wild beast, as long as the parents are reluctant to kill it, we will not destroy it and will still treat it as one of our own."
Liang Tan: "Then...what if the other person has a strange appearance?"
"How weird can it be?" A Zhuang was curious.
Liang Tan tried: "In vain."
"The dog tribe in our tribe includes Baibai's original incarnation." said A Zhuang.
Liang Tan's eyes lit up immediately. He wanted to say something else, but suddenly a sharp whistle was heard not far away. A Zhuang hurried away, but halfway through he thought of something and turned back: "Liang Tan."
"Yes, I'm here!" Liang Tan raised his hand immediately.
A Zhuang's dark face instantly turned red: "Don't pick up straws anymore, I'll give you a tiger skin."
Liang Tan opened his eyes wide: "Really?!"
"...Do you want it?" A Zhuang was a little nervous.
Liang Tan smiled: "If you are willing to give it to me, of course I will accept it."
How warm it would be! She didn't want to accept the gift unilaterally. Life was really hard now. At worst, after getting the tiger skin, she would wait for Cui Ling to recover and let him catch something as a return gift.
As Liang Tan was thinking, A Zhuang's face turned even redder and sweat started to form on the tip of his nose.
His reaction was as if he had won the lottery. A hint of doubt flashed in Liang Tan's eyes. Before he could ask, he heard him say nervously: "Okay, then come again tonight and I'll give you the tiger skin." After that, he changed his human form and ran away in an instant.
Liang Tan watched his agile figure disappear into the jungle in an instant, and immediately returned to the cave in a very good mood.
In the cave, the stinky-faced wolf's face suddenly became even stinkier after smelling her scent: "It's the smell of a leopard again. It's so smelly."
"I think it's okay." Compared to you, they all smell good.
Cui Ling's face darkened: "Don't sleep with me tonight until your smell is gone."
When Liang Tan heard him threaten him with this again, and thought about what A Zhuang said about giving him a thick tiger skin, he immediately became confident: "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep."
Cui Ling became even angrier.
The two began an inexplicable cold war again. Liang Tan lowered his head and carefully fiddled with his little bed, while Cui Ling lay on the ground angrily.
After a long while, Cui Ling spoke first: "Are you interested in that leopard?"
"I am an inferior orc, how can I be worthy of ordinary orcs." Liang Tan said sarcastically.
Cui Ling was unhappy: "That's not what I asked."
"He and I are friends." Liang Tan answered his question.
Cui Ling was silent: "Since you don't like her, don't get too close." He discovered a long time ago that Liang Tan had no common sense and often couldn't grasp the right measure.
Liang Tan was displeased when he heard this: "I can't have friends?"
"Why make friends with orcs? He has a strong masculine aura and you can tell at a glance that he has feelings for you." Cui Ling commented.
Liang Tan laughed: "Can his masculine scent be as strong as yours?" The smell is almost overflowing.
She originally meant to laugh at him, but when Cui Ling heard these words, they took on a different meaning. The wolf's face suddenly became hot, but fortunately, his thick hair covered it, thus not exposing his abnormality.
The day passed quickly. In the evening, just as Cui Ling took out the meat to grill, Liang Tan was about to go out.
"What are you doing out at night?" Cui Ling frowned.
Liang Tan said perfunctorily: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
She was afraid that Cui Ling would stop her from going out, so she didn't dare tell him that she was going to look for A Zhuang.
Cui Ling was still scolding her, but she turned a deaf ear to him and ran to the place where she met A Zhuang today.
A Zhuang had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw her coming, his eyes lit up and he immediately handed her the tiger skin that looked like a blanket. Liang Tan quickly took it and was immediately shocked: "Such a good skin? Where did you get it?"
"My parents gave it to me." A Zhuang blushed.
Liang Tan frowned: "My parents gave it to me? No, I can't accept it."
A Zhuang got anxious when he heard this: "I can also fight myself. When I become an adult in a while, I will definitely be able to fight..."
"That's not what I meant," Liang Tan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I just thought it was too valuable and I didn't dare to accept it."
"It's not expensive, not expensive, just take it." After saying that, A Zhuang slipped away without giving her a chance to refuse.
Liang Tan opened his mouth and stared at the tiger skin in silence for a long time. In the end, he could only carry it back to the cave.
"If you come back later, there will be no meat..." Cui Ling was halfway through her words when she saw the tiger skin in her arms and her face turned black. "Where did it come from?"
"A Zhuang gave it to me." Liang Tan said casually.
Cui Ling stood up suddenly. His huge body was as big as a mountain. The hair on his back stood up and even his teeth were bared.
Liang Tan was startled: "What, what happened?"
"Didn't you say you didn't like him?" Cui Ling frowned and looked fierce.
Liang Tan was stunned: "No, I don't like it."
