My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

After crossing the Round River, the view was bright and the city was within reach. I landed in an uninhabited grove on the shore with a team of soldiers.

"We are here. This is not our first time here. We will follow the previous plan, but we will exchange less salt this year. If any orcs ask about it, you know how to answer, right?" He asked the warriors in the tribe whom he was optimistic about before he had organized the team.

"Yes! The harvest this year is not as good as in previous years. The prey has decreased and is difficult to catch. Let's just buy the necessities!" The warriors answered in unison.

"Well! If someone doesn't follow the rules, you know my temper... Of course, this transaction has been successfully concluded, and I am a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments..." He said half of what he wanted to say and kept the other half.

Of course, the warriors who could follow were all the confidants that Wei had carefully selected. They knew what was going on. They would not be so stupid as to offend the chief. After all, since Wei became the chief, they could only live a good life by following Wei. Their lives were getting better and better. Didn't you see how the bear and lion tribes, who had plotted against the chief, were thrown to the bank of the Yuan River not long ago, and how they were so anxious and stupid? Humph! Fighting with the chief is really like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. It's overestimating one's own abilities!

Seeing that everyone was full of energy and confidence, Wei didn't want to say more, "Okay! Let's disband here. If you have any questions, you can talk to the team leader, Li and Man." He turned around and said to Li and Man, "Try to be low-key, keep your skills to yourself, and of course, don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. If there is something you can't solve, go to Yue's house to find me." Wei said, and handed Li a bone whistle to contact him. He patted the shoulders of the two.

"Don't worry, Chief! I'm smart, strong and powerful. No one can bully us. You go and do your own thing and don't worry about us! We are not kids anymore!" Li said to Wei with a smile.

"Correct!"

"The clan leader is busy!"

"Not a brat!"

The warriors around echoed.

"We guarantee to complete the transaction successfully!" Li stepped forward and said!

"We will ensure that the mission is accomplished!" echoed the warriors.

Wei nodded and said, "Great! You look impressive! I'll wait for you to return triumphantly. If you complete your mission brilliantly, I'll treat you all to some fine wine from the Four Beasts City on your way back!"

"Oh~"

"Roar!"

"The patriarch is mighty!"

Hearing that there was good wine to drink, the warriors were excited! They were full of confidence, and rushed to the market with their goods without saying goodbye. They were afraid that they would be a step slower and not be able to drink the good wine.

"Let's go into the city too!" He said nothing to the others after everyone had left.

"Oh! Let's go! Let's go home~" Yue raised her hand and shouted to everyone. She took the lead and led the way.

"Don't the tribesmen go into the city? Where do they go to trade their goods?" Shi Erye pulled Ming's arm and asked the question in his mind.

"The trading conference is held outside the city. There are too many orcs participating every year. For the sake of public security, they are all gathered outside the city and guarded by special personnel. Inside the city, there are nobles living. It would be bad if we bump into them." Ming said as he supported Shi Erye and walked in front of him.

"Oh~" After listening to Ming's explanation, Shi Erye understood clearly that this was probably a modern trade fair. The venue was large, there were many people, and public security management was indeed very important.

After a while, they walked out of the woods and onto the road. The roadbed of the dirt road was very solid. It was smooth and wide, and could catch up with modern two-lane roads.

The further we got towards Four Beasts City, the more people there were. On both sides of the road, the open space of a hundred meters was densely packed with shacks.

Ming carefully escorted Shi Erye as she walked. He was afraid that the beastmen would bump into her. Seeing her curious and looking around, he explained to her, "Don't worry, my grandfather's house is one of the best mansions in the beast city. It won't be so dirty." Looking at the shacks on both sides of the road, Ming frowned, knowing that Shi Erye liked to be clean. He was afraid that she would think too much, so he quickly explained to her where they were going.

Shi Erye retracted his gaze, held Ming's hand tightly, and pulled his hood up. "Ah~ I'm just curious, looking around. No matter what my grandfather's house is like, it has no impact on us. As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. In my heart, the cave of the Winged Tiger Clan is our home!" Shi Erye tilted his head and looked at the big tiger behind him who was protecting him and said.

Ming's eyes were full of stars, and he looked at Shi Erye tenderly and affectionately. "Yes! That's my and Ye's home! I will protect it forever! When the kid grows up, I will drive him out. We will live happily together at home!" Ming said with emotion as he hugged Shi Erye.

Uh... the first sentence was quite touching. The second sentence was really unnecessary. We are not the kind of parents who believe that their love is real and the child is an accident. We should still raise him to adulthood! Shi Erye touched his belly and felt worried about the little guy inside. Before he was born, his father was thinking about kicking him out of the house. Oh!

Chatting and laughing, they soon arrived at the city gate. Several orcs were guarding the gate with sticks. They checked the orcs passing by.

This city gate is quite good. Although it is made of mud, it looks very solid and tall.

When it was their turn to be interrogated, they did not produce the token of the Yue Mansion. When the guarding soldiers saw it, they immediately changed from being arrogant to being respectful.

"I didn't know you were the distinguished guest of the prophet's house. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The soldier returned the token to Wei and said with a fist.

"You're too polite, brother. Can I bring my family into the city now?" Wei said to the soldier.

"Yes, yes! Please!" The soldier made a gesture of invitation and shouted to the soldier behind him, "Let them pass!"

Several people entered the beast city smoothly without spending a single beast coin. As expected, it was easy to get things done with someone in the court. Shi Erye sighed. She saw that some of the beastmen who entered the city handed in metal coins, and some used animal skins as collateral... Anyway, they had to spend some money to enter.

Entering the Four Beasts City, Shi Erye was pleasantly surprised. A few days ago, from Yue's description, he imagined the prosperity of the city, but he didn't expect it to be beyond his imagination. The streets were very clean. There were two-story or even three-story mud houses and wooden houses on both sides. There were restaurants, cloth shops, hawkers, street stalls... everything you could think of, and it was very lively.

Although it doesn't have the splendor and magnificence seen in ancient idol dramas, but in this primitive world, it has exceeded expectations!

Yue turned around, looked at Shi Erye who was looking around, and shouted, "Ye, hurry up and follow me. When we get home, see our grandfather, and have enough rest, I will take you out for a good stroll!"

"Okay! Mother~" Shi Erye said, and stopped looking around, hurrying on his way. He remembered that it was his first visit and the gift in the space, and he felt a little worried.

"Ming, do you think Grandfather will like the gifts we prepared?" After seeing the prosperity of Four Beasts City, Shi Erye finally understood what Ming was talking about, the poverty of the southern border. He wondered if the specialties he prepared would be pleasing to Grandfather. Shi Erye asked with some concern.

"Don't worry! Grandfather will be very happy! Every year when my mother comes home, she brings him a fur apron. He treats it like a treasure and shows it off everywhere, praising my mother for her filial piety! He also asks for mine, and my uncle and aunt are following my example!"

Ming thought that every time her mother came home, it was simply a nightmare for the whole mansion. Her grandfather would always praise her mother and scold the person in front of him, just to see who was unlucky enough to run into him. It is no exaggeration to say that all the dogs in the mansion had to be beaten by him. The father and daughter praised each other, how happy (face)!

Grandfather is simply a typical daughter slave! Every year, my mother would use an animal skin apron to rob Grandfather of a large box of gold, silver and jewelry!
