Qingzhi left the tribe and headed straight for the forest he was familiar with. He found a fruit tree and picked two big red fruits to satisfy his hunger.

It was her mother who told her that the fruit was edible.

The ancestral beast has taught that bright red things are generally poisonous and should not be eaten. Some people in the tribe have also discovered this tree, but they all stay away from it.

She had eaten it when she was a child, and even tried to give it to the starving little beast, but was scolded by the little beast's mother, who also said that her whole family wanted to harm people...

So now, this fruit tree has become her exclusive backup food.

After Qingzhi finished eating the fruit, he walked along the woods looking for herbs that could heal his wounds.

She couldn't remember all the kinds of herbs her mother mentioned, and only remembered one that was particularly common and useful - mugwort.

It can stop bleeding, drive away parasites, drive away cold, eliminate whatever... Anyway, this thing is really good!

Qingzhi quickly found some mugwort, plucked some, then hunted a pheasant and found a nest of pheasant eggs.

"Just in time to give Xia Yuan some nourishment..."

Qingzhi put the pheasant eggs into mugwort leaves to protect them, and walked back carrying the pheasant.

As usual, she came to the tribal leader's storage cellar and handed it to the cat lady who was in charge of the leader's food.

The cat lady was one of the chief's spouses. She took the pheasant impatiently and said, "Master Kuroiwa has already said that you don't need to do these things. Why do you keep sending them here? Master Kuroiwa won't even look at you if you are being so shameless and attentive!"

Qingzhi ignored her, put her things down and left.

Anyway, she didn't do this to get the leader to look at her, it's just...

When the Beast God was angry, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Her father and mother protected her under their bodies, but they were taken away by the Beast God. It was the chief who dug her out.

The Beast God would not accept a kid like her. If she died, she would be truly dead.

The chief had done her a favor, but it was just some food. She did it if she could, not because she wanted to get anything in return.

"Hey, don't you have some stuff in your bag? Why don't you give it all to Lord Kuroiwa?"

Qingzhi wanted to leave, but was stopped by the cat girl.

The cat girl waved her sharp nails in front of Qingzhi's eyes, and she urged impatiently, "I'm asking you a question! Did you hide some good stuff to enjoy secretly? Aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"

In the past, Qing Zhi would only deliver food after she had eaten her fill, but today she was delayed because of Xia Yuan.

"Don't you think I'm being too attentive? Then why do you want my things?"

Qingzhi managed to break free with a little effort.

She knew that the chief had never eaten her food, and the food sent to him was divided among his spouses. But these spouses were still the chief's people, so indirectly, the chief also benefited from it.

that's enough.

Qingzhi has been unpopular for a long time, and he doesn't take the cat girl's words and actions to heart.

But the cat girl felt that she was being looked down upon, so she stopped her and tried to snatch Qing Zhi's bag, "Shame on you!"

Qing Zhi is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others. She dodged and her eyes were as sharp as a knife. "If you dare to move again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

The cat girl was startled by her look.

She was pampered by Lord Heiyan and only had to take care of his food every day. She was different from orcs like Leopard Girl who hunted for themselves.

How could she beat such a crude and barbaric thing!

But then she glanced at Qing Zhi's back, her waist softened and she sat down on the ground, "Hey, why are you still bullying me..."

"What are you doing?"

Qing Zhi turned around and saw a tall figure standing not far away. His golden vertical pupils opened slightly. The darkness made his stern face look even more majestic and inviolable.

This is the leader of their Blackrock tribe, the giant crocodile orc - Blackrock.

His eyes swept across the cat girl and then fell on Qingzhi, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

The cat girl ran to Heiyan as if she saw a savior, and complained aggrievedly, "Master Heiyan, this leopard girl is ungrateful. I just wanted to see what was in her bag, and she attacked me!"

Qing Zhi watched the cat girl acting coldly, with no emotion in her heart.

The chief knew that she had always been very well-behaved. Apart from being a loner and living on the edge of the tribe, she never took the initiative to cause trouble.

Besides, the leader must be able to see from where he came that she didn't do anything at all and both hands were protecting the pheasant eggs in the bag!

Qingzhi straightened his back, looked at Heiyan with his green eyes calmly, waiting for him to speak.

Heiyan paused, his eyes fell on the bag that Qingzhi was protecting, "The tribe has rules that prohibit private fighting and causing trouble. Qingzhi, since you are still in the tribe and under my protection, you should abide by it."

Heiyan looked down at Qingzhi from above, a hint of anxiety flashing in his golden vertical pupils.

He naturally saw that the cat girl was deliberately looking for trouble, and also noticed Qingzhi's actions of protecting the package.

In the past, she was quite sincere to him. Except for not wanting to ask him for sex, she would always send him any good prey. But now...

She actually keeps it secret?

She is becoming more and more careless, just like her mother, she doesn't know what is good for her!

“Leader…?” Qing Zhi looked at Hei Yan in surprise.

Is this still the fair and upright leader in her mind? Obviously... obviously he knows it!

Heiyan caught the disappointment in her eyes and his heartbeat got a little unsteady, but he remained calm as always. "Since this is your first offense, I won't pursue the matter this time."

His patience is almost exhausted. It seems that Leopard Woman will come of age this year?

It's time to let her know that only by following him can she live a life with someone to protect her...

The cat girl was getting angry, but Qing Zhi interrupted her and said, "Chief, please handle it according to the rules. As I remember, those who are not injured in the private fight only need to hand in a medium-sized prey, right? I will deliver it tomorrow."

After that, she didn't stay any longer and turned and left.

As if not expecting her attitude, Heiyan took a step forward.

The cat girl cried out "Ouch!" and twisted her butt to rub against Heiyan, "My lord, my butt hurts so much, can you take a look and see if it's injured?"

The cat girl held his hand and walked behind him.

The orcs' human forms were covered by one or two pieces of animal skins. Heiyan touched the roundness at once and immediately leaned over to look down.

Light green cat eyes, a soft body similar to hers, and a charming tail...

Without saying a word, Heiyan carried the cat girl back to his residence.

……

Woodside cabin.

Xia Yuan ate some rabbit meat, left half and sat at the door waiting for Qing Zhi to come back.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he felt a little scared, added some wood to the fire, and went into the house to see if there was any other light.

He was shocked as soon as he entered.

The wardrobe and table are both made of wood. Although they are not as exquisite and smooth as modern ones, they are still usable. In addition to animal skins, the wardrobe also contains a large backpack with a notebook, a flashlight, a water cup, a sun hat and other things.

Xia Yuan became even more certain that Qing Zhi's mother was a time traveler. Judging from her things, she must have traveled through time while exploring the wild or traveling.

He wanted to open the notebook and take a look, but he felt it was too offensive and finally put it back.

The stone bed was covered with patchwork animal hides.

Xia Yuan reached out and touched it. It was very soft and had no strange smell.

On the wooden cabinet next to the bed, there is an empty lighter. It looks like it has been touched many times and has become patinated...

There was no other lighting in the room, so Xia Yuan sat on the bed, staring at the Qingzhi courtyard through the firelight at the door, and fell asleep unknowingly.
