After breakfast, everyone began to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
Because Dini was injured, Margie insisted that he give him his knapsack and the leather bag for the salt. However, Maji also had a bag with her. The backpack was fine, but the extra bag was not easy to carry. The other non-orcs were in the same situation.
Di Nai said that he was only slightly injured and could still carry a package. Frey was the first to disagree, and everyone else also said no. After all, that kind of injury could not be used, or it would easily split open.
In the end, Toby volunteered to let Margie tie the bag of salt on his back. Carlo wanted to come over and try to carry the package, but Toby pushed him away.
Rick watched them clean up and wanted to ask Carlo if he could give him a ride. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't say it. He looked at Alan, who had been carrying him for a long time, and was still waiting for him quietly. He silently returned to Alan's side and sat on Alan's back with the parcel in his arms.
Alan was driving Rick, and his mind was in turmoil. He did not know if he was happy or worried. The thoughts of females were always so hard to guess. Was there still hope for him?
Along the way, Alan was conflicted about whether to give up on this relationship or continue to wait. When they arrived at the cave where Ada and the others were temporarily staying, Alan decided that he still had to continue pursuing Rick. After all, Rick only had feelings for Carlo and had not confirmed their relationship. Alan felt that if he gave up without even confessing, it would be too embarrassing for the orcs.
Ricky was also very happy to see everyone after he walked out of the cave. His wound had healed for two days and had already scabbed over. It seemed that Ada took good care of him.
Ada came out to talk to Alan and also greeted everyone. When he saw Frey, his gaze paused for half a second, but in the end, he only called out indifferently,"Brother Frey." Perhaps he had not completely forgotten this feeling in his heart, but he had already learned to give up and to fulfill his wish.
Di Nai saw his expression and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, if Ada kept her eyes on Frey, he would have a headache too.
Ricky had been bored for the past two days. Although he was still injured, he had caught a lot of prey and brought it back to the cave, waiting for them to come and eat it. Ada also picked some wild vegetables and fruits nearby. Therefore, the food in the cave was ready-made.
Everyone was quite happy to see the food. After all, they had traveled a long distance. It was very pleasant to be able to sit down and have a good meal immediately.
Margie held Ada's hand and kept praising him for being sensible, which made Ada a little embarrassed. However, this was the first time he had received the attention of so many people, so he was a little excited. It seemed that no one took his trouble to heart. Ada felt that her hard work over the past two days had paid off.
Everyone had a good time eating. As they ate, they talked about what had happened over the past few days. Rich had heard of Dini's heroic deeds in fighting the Pterosaurs, and he was full of admiration for him. Such a brave female was the pride of their tribe.
When Frey heard this, although his heart was also filled with pride, he still blamed himself for not protecting Di Nai well, so he took care of Di Nai even more wholeheartedly.
Beside another bonfire, Ada naturally accepted the roasted meat Ritch handed her. It seemed that the two of them had made good progress after spending two days alone. Margie saw it and winked at Dini, then pouted at Ada and Richie. Di Nai knew very well that Maji was reassuring him!
After lunch, they decided to take a short break before leaving. Maji took out the bamboo shoot shell to study the straw sandals. Dini went up to help, but Frey dragged him away without hesitation. " I only hurt my hand," Dini shouted." I'm not seriously ill. Frey, why are you so nervous?"”
"You're injured," Frey advised in a low voice.”
Maji also smiled and waved at Di Nai."Go, go. You can't help now anyway.”
Di Nai wanted to vomit blood. Maji, this guy, was burning bridges after crossing the river. She actually planned to take the credit for making straw sandals for herself? "Hey, Maji, don't forget to give me a pair of straw sandals."”
Seeing Maji nod with a smile, Dini was obediently dragged to the shade of the tree by Frey.
Ada looked at their affectionate expressions and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. In the end, she sorted out her emotions and walked to Margie's side with a smile. She began to ask Margie how to make straw sandals.
Carlo was full, so he started to walk around Toby again, teasing him from time to time. Seeing that Toby was angry, he licked Toby and took advantage of it. The two large animals pounced on the grass, trampling it into a mess.
Rick wanted to go up and talk to Carlo, but he found that he could not get close to them. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Perhaps Carlo had never taken him seriously.
Alan secretly observed Rick for a while and encouraged himself. He walked to Rick and said,"Rick, I have something to tell you.”
Rick hesitated for a moment, but he still followed Alan into the woods.
Alan secretly clenched his fists and said loudly,"Rick, I like you. Can you consider being with me?" After Alan finished speaking, he stared at Rick.
Rick looked up in shock. He did not expect Alan to confess to him so directly. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Seeing that Rick did not answer for a long time, Alan continued,"Rick, I'm serious. Although I'm not the best orc, I'll do my best to let you live a good life. I will always take care of you, protect you, and make you happy.”
Rick was moved. This was the first time an orc had confessed to him in such a serious manner. He was silent for a moment before he replied,"I'll have to think about it."”
Alan was a little disappointed, but he knew that this was the best result. Rick did not reject him directly, which meant that he still had hope.
Dini was lying on Frey's belly with a grass stem in his mouth. He lazily crossed his legs and played with Frey's tail in boredom. Frey didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this, but he let him be.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Heda to say that they were almost done resting and call everyone to go on their way.
When Frey stood up, he realized that his perfectly fine tail had been tied into a big knot by Di Nai. Its tail was so heavy that Frey felt as if his body was unbalanced.
Di Nai stood up, looked at the results of his prank, and laughed loudly. Frey wagged his tail for a long time, but he couldn't shake the knot. In the end, Dini couldn't stand it anymore and untied the knot again.
Although Allen, Ada, and Richie were together, it was obvious that some things had changed.
Alan quietly pulled Ricky over and asked him to take the initiative to pick up Ada. He said that if it was convenient for others, it would also be convenient for him.
Ricky also understood that Alan was courting his younger brother. Alan was a good orc, and as his brother, he was happy to see it. In addition, after spending the past few days together, Ricky felt that Ada was quite cute. Although Ada had been a little willful at first, he had learned to change later on. He had also taken good care of him these past few days, and Ricky had long been moved. Of course, it was a dream to be able to carry the person he liked.
Thus, the group divided their work and began to march toward the tribe in a mighty manner.
Even if Toby and Carlo were flying in the air, they would still make a scene. If it weren't for the bag on his back, Toby would have flown onto Carlo's back and taught him a lesson.
Rick looked at the two orcs who were fighting without any scruples and knew that he had no hope. He looked at Alan below him. Although his appearance was not top-notch, he treated people sincerely and really liked him. He also had a good impression of Alan. Perhaps he should give it a try. Thinking of this, he patted Alan's back and said softly,"Alan, I promise you."
Alan was so happy that he wanted to roll in the air. However, he was worried about Rick, who was sitting on his back, so he only circled in the air excitedly.
Rick was shocked and immediately grabbed the hair on Alan's back. He felt a faint joy in his heart.
They did not encounter any special situations along the way. Di Nai was no longer lucky enough to encounter wild millet, nor did he see a horse. Di Nai was a little disappointed. However, at the thought of being able to return to the tribe soon, Di Nai's heart was filled with excitement.
Di Nai felt that he was starting to truly treat the tribe as his home. A nest of gold and silver was not as good as one's own. The cave was too shabby compared to the modern house he used to live in, but Di Nai still missed it very much.
Moreover, he had been living in the wind and sleeping in the open. In addition, he had fought two consecutive battles and was even injured. It was really hard enough. Di Nai was eager to return home.
At noon the next day, they finally returned to the tribe. Most of the people said goodbye to Frey and the others on the way and flew back to their respective places of residence. Toby helped Dini carry the salt and followed Frey and the others all the way to their cave. They took the salt and flew away.
Vincent and Cheni probably saw them and quickly rushed over. Everyone was happy to be reunited after a short separation.
Canny had probably been living a more comfortable life these days. Di Nai felt that his face had become round.
Majila told Cheni about what they had seen and heard along the way, about the pterosaur attack they encountered, and about how they went to the lair of the Cibeast to save Ada.
Canny was shocked when she heard this, and she said that it must be the blessing of the gods that allowed them to return safely.
Vincent continued to fulfill his promise and prepared lunch for them. Everyone took a short break and then finished lunch together.
Di Nai saw that the salt they were eating now was still gray and sandy, so he wanted to filter out the clean salt to eat as soon as possible.
After he finished eating, he immediately ran back to the cave to change his clothes and put on the animal skin vest. The sleeves of his camouflage uniform had been scratched by the pterosaurs, and there were bloodstains on them. Di Nai had no choice but to continue wearing it these few days. Now that he could finally take it off, Di Nai felt much cleaner.
After changing out of the clothes, Maji did not mind that it was dirty. She immediately asked Di Nai to bring out a needle and thread to help him mend the clothes. "Margie, can you help me wash my clothes while you're at it?" Di Nai said with a smile.”
Maji glared at him." Don't push your luck. It's already good enough that I'm sewing your clothes. Leave the laundry to Frey."”
Di Nai was unmoved and continued to swim."Don't be in a hurry to reject me. Let me tell you, if you help me wash my clothes, I'll give you a huge benefit.”
Margie was skeptical, but she still washed Dini's clothes with soap.
Di Nai took out two clay pots and asked Frey to fill one of them with water. He then placed a large handful of salt into the pot. Then, Di Nai stirred vigorously with bamboo chopsticks. After seeing that all the salt had melted, he began to let them use clothes to filter the salt water.
Margie covered another pot with her clothes while Frey poured salt water into it. As expected, the filtered salt water was much cleaner. Di Nai told Maji to filter it a few more times and then put it under the sun after it was filtered. After the water was dried, the remaining salt would be relatively clean edible salt.
The author had something to say: I went to watch Transformers 3 today. King Kong was quite cute.
PS: I originally wanted to write some meat under pressure, but everyone is bullying me.
