Exchange Day
The three of them chatted for a while more and realized that it was getting late, so they quickly took their things and set off for the exchange point.
Frey carried three prey in one hand with ease, as if it did not take any effort at all. Di Nai stood in front of him, his eyes only reaching his chest. Frey's firm chest muscles and streamlined abdominal muscles made Di Nai envious. These muscles were not like the muscles that were trained in the gym. They were completely natural and strong muscles. It was really enviable!
Di Nai couldn't help but pinch Frey's abdominal muscles. En, it was indeed very hard!
Frey was startled by Dini's sudden action and almost threw away the prey in his hand.
When Margie saw this, she couldn't help but laugh. He thought, Di Nai, oh Di Nai, this is naked teasing!
However, Di Nai himself was completely unaware of it. He felt that it was very normal for men to compare their muscles and even compare their penises. He felt that he had already restrained himself a lot here and knew more about taboos. He was no longer as unrestrained as he was at the beginning.
Di Nai looked up at the nervous Frey and then at Maji, who was trying to stifle her laughter. He was a little confused. He puffed up the muscles in his arms and acted like a Popeye. He lowered his head to look at it, then looked at Frey. He put it down dejectedly, then sighed at Frey."Hey, Frey, if only I had muscles as strong as yours.”
Maji immediately laughed. We don't have to go hunting."
"Why can't non-orcs hunt?" retorted Dini. I'll hunt a few animals for you to see someday!”
Maji looked at him with some doubt, but thinking about how Dini seemed to be quite brave in the jungle that day and could fight with the lion-headed beast, he nodded doubtfully.
After the brief interlude, they set off for the exchange point. Because Di Nai was on crutches, he only took a basket with the spinning top, whip, and feather crown he had made. Margie took four baskets. As for the remaining two baskets, Maji and Di Nai were prepared to take one each for their own use.
Since everyone was carrying a lot of things, they couldn't fly. They could only walk. Margie said that it wasn't too far to walk anyway, so she could get there quickly.
When they arrived at the exchange point, they found that there were already a few anxious people waiting there.
Di Nai found that this place was a good place to use as an exchange point. The road was quite spacious, and the trees beside the road were very tall, which could serve as shade. There were also many stones placed on both sides of the road for people to put things on.
They found a bigger rock and piled everything on it.
Soon, more and more people came to the exchange point. There was a family of three who came to shop together. An orc was holding the hand of a non-orc, and a little orc was sitting on his neck. There were also young couples who came to shop together. There were also quite a number of Beastmen alone.
Di Nai thought that this market was quite normal, a bit like a village market. Alright, he had to correct himself. Ignoring the Winged Tigers that were swaggering on the road and the Winged Tigers that were constantly diving down, this place was really quite normal.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly felt something tugging at the bottom of his pants. He looked down and saw a little winged tiger with brown patterns biting his pants. It looked up at him innocently.
Ah, has his vigilance dropped to this level recently? He didn't even notice the Winged Tiger approaching. Di Nai kept beating himself in his mind. It seemed that life here was too comfortable. A comfortable environment was easy to wear down one's will!
Even when the little winged tiger was taken away by his family, Di Nai was still in an endless dilemma.
The baskets they made were very popular. A few of the non-orcs who had families knew what was good and quickly exchanged them for the baskets. A non-orc came with an elephant tusk in exchange for a bamboo basket. Di Nai thought, if this was in the original world, how precious ivory would be! Here, an elephant tusk was worth as much as a bamboo basket. Ah, it was simply unimaginable!
However, it was true that bamboo baskets were rarer than ivory here.
Margie had just happily placed the ivory she had exchanged for by her feet. She stood up and looked up, only to see Vela walking over seductively not far away. Maji immediately turned her head and pretended not to see it.
Vela walked straight towards them and raised her voice."Hey, isn't this Maji? I heard that you and Hedda are going to be partners? Congratulations, someone finally wants you!”
Maji turned her head and retorted angrily,"Thank you so much! Hey, why didn't your card carry you out today? Is he going to abandon you?"
"Ah pui!" Vela spat at Maji." Don't talk nonsense. My family's card hurts me terribly." He didn't come today because he went to help me find mint grass. Recently, I've been eating too much meat, so I'm a little hot. Naka was very considerate and went to find me some mint to calm down.”Speaking of her own males, Vela could not help but feel smug.
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of?" He Da treated me well too."
Vela raised her eyebrows and smiled." Yo, the ceremony hasn't even been completed yet, and you're already showing off here?"”
Margie was very embarrassed when she heard this. She blushed and glared at him, then turned around and ignored him.
Di Nai and Frey, who were standing at the side, could not help but look at the sky calmly.
Vela didn't feel annoyed at all. She lowered her head and began to rummage through their stall. When he saw the feather crown, his eyes lit up and he immediately picked it up and put it on his head.
Maggie saw Vela's actions from the corner of her eye and immediately said,"I'm not changing this!"
"Why not?" Vela retorted. Didn't you put it out to change it?”
Margie said,"Fine. Even if I want to exchange it, I won't give it to you.”
"Heh, then I'll have to change.”Vela took off the shell necklace she was wearing and threw it on the stone. She said casually,"Here, this is for you. It was not easy for me to make this. It's good enough to exchange it for your feather crown.”Then, he didn't care whether Maji and Di Nai agreed or not. He put it on and walked away.
"You! You're robbing me!" Maji stomped her feet in anger, but she did not chase after him. After all, they were of the same race. He was going to hold the mating ceremony tomorrow, and it would not be good if it was blown up. He grabbed the shell necklace from the rock and threw it on the ground, then stepped on it and crushed it.
Vela wasn't embarrassed at all. After walking for a while, she proudly turned around and made a face at Margie.
Maji was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Fortunately, someone came to change the bamboo basket at this time, which barely suppressed Maji's irritable mood.
Another crest made by Dini was soon exchanged by a non-orc. When he took out the item he had exchanged for, Di Nai was surprised to find that it was actually a pearl necklace! A natural pearl necklace! How rare! After all, this place was not near the sea, and pearls were very rare!
Margie's eyes lit up when she saw the pearl necklace. She wanted to exchange everything she had with it.
Fortunately, the non-orc was not greedy. He only took a fancy to the feather crown. He threw away the necklace and excitedly took the feather crown.
Margie got the necklace and finally swept away her bad mood from meeting Vela. She began to think about how to wear the necklace during the ceremony tomorrow.
The spinning top that Di Nai made was probably not known to others, so it was completely ignored.
Margie said," I'll show you what it is, and everyone will know what it is.”He picked up a spinning top and started playing with it.
As expected, the effect was different with the actual practice. Very soon, a large number of people came over to watch.
Many onlookers were eager to try. Not to mention the half-grown orcs and non-orcs, even a few adult non-orcs were eager to try it out.
Soon, these toys were also exchanged. One of the spinning tops was exchanged for two flint stones.
This tribe usually used flint to make fires, but flint was hard to find and not many people had it.
These days, Frey and the others were the ones who started the fire. Di Nai didn't have any flint. Di Nai thought that if he wanted to go back, it would be better for him to bring the flint in the forest.
One of Frey's prey was exchanged for a stone hoe, and another prey was exchanged for a piece of tanned animal skin. He had also traded some beautiful plants for his prey. Margie liked flowers anyway, so she changed them.
Soon, everything was changed. Everyone was quite happy to return with a full load. The happiest one was Maji. He hung the necklace around his neck and touched it from time to time. There was a satisfied smile on his face.
When they returned, Heda happened to be back as well, so everyone ate together again.
After lunch, Maji left with Heda. The two of them were going to report to the chief and the Senior Magus about the mating ceremony, and then inform their relatives and friends. Speaking of which, they were in a hurry.
Frey brought Dini to the Great Wizard to change his dressing.
The Great Wizard looked at Di Nai's injuries and realized that the swelling in his feet had basically subsided. He let Di Nai try stepping on the ground. Di Nai stepped on it and found that his ankle was no longer hurting, but he couldn't use too much force.
The shaman said,"Your injuries are basically healed. I'll apply medicine on you again today. You should be fine in two days."”
" Oh, that's good," Di Nai said happily." I'm really fed up with the days when I can't walk on two feet." Speaking of which, I've really troubled you with my injuries.”
"That's a small matter." The Grand Wizard smiled. You helped the tribe build a pottery kiln and let everyone use pottery. That's a big deal!”
Di Nai chuckled, a little embarrassed."Great Magus praises me too much."
Di Nai was still applying medicine when Maji and Heda arrived. They had just come out of the chief's house, and now they were here to talk about the ceremony.
The Grand Wizard expressed that it was a good idea to hold the ceremony tomorrow. He would be there on time. He also wished them well.
At this time, Di Nai had already applied the medicine, and everyone went back together.
After tomorrow's ceremony, there would be a bonfire dinner party, and a lot of prey would need to be prepared, so Heda asked Frey to hunt more prey. Heda and Maji still had to inform their relatives and friends.
Thus, only Di Nai was left in the cave. Di Nai had nothing to do and began to wonder what kind of wedding gift he should give Maji and Heda.
If it was in the previous world, a friend would definitely give a gift when they got married. If they were especially good friends, they could also give some decorations. But in this place, it was very difficult to do anything!
At night, Maji and Heda didn't come. They were probably eating at a family or friend's house.
Frey hunted a bunch of prey and then killed two rabbits to roast for dinner.
While eating the barbecue, Dini asked Frey,""Heda and Maji have become partners. As their friend, do you want to give them something?”
Frey shook his head.”
Only then did Di Nai calm down. He thought that even if he had to give her a gift, it would be fine. They had gone to the exchange point today. Apart from the flint, Di Nai had given everything he had exchanged for, including ivory and pearl necklaces, to Maji. It was enough to be a wedding gift.
The next morning, Maji ran over early and pulled Dini along to help slaughter the animals. After all, beastmen were very gluttonous. A few dozen animals might not be able to satisfy the appetite of the hundred or so beastmen who had come to participate in the mating ceremony.
Fortunately, Maji and Hedda's relatives also came to help. Di Nai looked at the bustling scene by the river and felt very happy. He remembered that when he was in his hometown in the countryside, if someone had a happy event at home, a bunch of relatives and friends would come to help. It would usually be lively for a few days!
After all, there was strength in numbers. It did not take too much time for dozens of animals to be done. Some of the non-beastmen who didn't have a partner didn't have the raw materials to make animal skin clothes because they couldn't hunt. Margie simply gave them all the skins she peeled.
Soon, the sound of animal skin being ground could be heard from the riverside.
Since Di Nai had nothing to do, he also used stones to grind animal skins and gave them away after he was done. As a result, he got to know a few more non-orcs.
In the afternoon, everyone had barbecued meat in Maji's cave. After eating, everyone brought the slaughtered meat and surrounded Maji and Heda to the altar.
Margie was dressed up to the nines today. He was wearing a feathered crown and a newly made animal skin vest. The pearl necklace that he had exchanged yesterday was sewn on his sleeveless shoulder. It felt quite unique, a little like a modern dress. Many non-orcs were envious after seeing this, and they kept asking Margie how the feather crown and clothes were made.
The orcs were making fun of Heda, saying that he was quite lucky to have found a beautiful and capable partner. Along the way, there was laughter and the atmosphere was unusually warm.
Di Nai found that those who already had partners, whether they were orcs or non-orcs, would make some dirty jokes about the newcomers. Maji was such a straightforward person. When she heard those jokes, her face turned red.
I recommend a good new novel, Dog God. It updates steadily and the quality is not bad. Friends of the book famine can take a look, hehe. Welcome to Favorites and Submissions
