As the sun set, the busy day came to an end.
"Gulp…"
A group of starving people were waiting to be fed.
Axe's eyes were dizzy and he could not walk steadily. He had not eaten for a day and had worked continuously for a day. Even if he was an orc, he would not be able to hold on much longer.
He couldn't collapse just yet. He had to bring that 500 grams of wheat back to his companions. Big Sis An Li was about to faint from hunger.
Others would receive seven or eight taels of wheat and then eat a meal at the construction site, but the axe saved all the wheat.
All he could see now was double images. He was walking mechanically, following the crowd numbly.
"Plop…"
Axe finally could not hold on any longer. When he fainted, he heard the female voice that had moved his heart today.
"Everyone, go get the wheat. Leave him to me.”
When
Axe opened his eyes again, he subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth and realized that there was the fragrance of wheat at the corner of his mouth. Before he could savor it, he heard the girl's voice beside him.
"You're awake?"
Axe's body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head mechanically and looked at the girl who was staring straight at him. He recognized her. It was the freckled girl who had helped him write his name during the registration.
Axe was sweating profusely. He was in an unprecedented crisis. He felt even more uneasy than when he was facing the tiger beastmen because he had been exposed. Beside him was a sackcloth wrapped around his horns.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" The girl tilted her head and looked at the axe strangely. Her eyes kept glancing at the pair of horns.
"Gulp..."
Axe's throat squirmed, and he said in a hoarse voice,"What do you want to do? Do you want to sell me as a slave?"
"Eh, you spoke." The girl laughed and asked curiously,"Why would I sell you as a slave?”
"Uh…" Axe was speechless. He looked at the girl in disbelief and said bitterly,"I'm an orc. Look, I have a pair of horns. Shouldn't you hate me?"”
He remembered that there was a rumor among the humans that the existence of the Beastmen was a punishment from the gods. The Beastmen were a combination of humans and beasts, a hybrid race.
The reason why many humans didn't have enough to eat was because of the existence of the beastmen. It was because the beastmen had eaten too much food.
Axe thought about it and felt that it was right. If he ate as much as he wanted, he could eat two or three humans at a time.
"Why should I hate you? You're very strange!" The girl chuckled and said,"I remember that your name is Axe, right? Do all beastmen look like you?”
Axe couldn't hear anything. There was only one sentence in his mind,"Why should I hate you?”。
She actually doesn't hate me? Axe suddenly felt that the girl's smile was filled with holiness. At this moment, the freckled and ordinary girl in front of him made him feel that she was even more beautiful than Big Sister An Li and Second Sister Mi Na.
Perhaps beauty was in the eye of the beholder? Axe felt his heart beat faster. He had never felt this way before.
In his life, this was the first time a human had told him that he did not hate him. In the past, when he was in other cities, as long as he was exposed, he would be hunted down by the human race.
"What's wrong with you?" The girl asked worriedly,"Are you still not feeling well?”
"What? "No, no…" Axe hurriedly shook his head and sat up on the bed. He was a little dazed.
"Are all Beastmen as strange as you?”The girl chuckled and said softly,"Everyone calls me Lan 'er. You can call me Lan' er.”
This was the second time she had seen a Beastman. The first time was when Miss Mina, who was with the City Lord. There were very few Beastmen in Xiyang City. She felt that Beastmen were not much different from humans, just that they had an extra pair of horns.
Miss Mi Na had a pair of cat ears, but she felt that Miss Mi Na was very beautiful. She was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
"It's not strange. We're not strange.”Axe hurriedly waved his hand when he heard that. He was a clumsy youth. He did not want Lan 'er to think that the beastmen were strange. He was the one who was strange.
"Why aren't you eating today? He fainted from hunger." Lan 'er pulled a long face.
"Oh right, where's my wheat?”Axe shouted anxiously, his eyes darting around.
"Here." Lan 'er pointed at the corner of the bed.
Axe grabbed Xiao Mai and hugged her tightly."Thank you."”
Lan 'er shook her head and stood up with a smile."I have to go. There are still many things I need to arrange.”
She was a steward, and the salary for those who could read would be increased by 20%. She could also be a steward. This was the greatest decision the City Lord had made.
After Lan 'er left, the axe sat there in a daze for a while before he hurriedly wrapped the sackcloth around his head to block the horns. Then, he carried the wheat and carefully walked out.
When he was outside, he realized that behind him was a stretch of shacks. He had slept in a small shack just now.
Axe soon discovered Lan 'er's figure not far away. She was currently distributing the shacks. These were the people who had moved out to rebuild the house. They had to live in the shacks for the time being.
He looked at Lan 'er's back in a daze. Then, under the setting sun, he walked out of Xiyang City. His footsteps were unprecedentedly light. He wanted to go back immediately and share with Big Sister An Li that there was a human girl who didn't hate him.
Moreover, he had heard the news he wanted during work today. Mina's second sister had been captured by Liu Feng, a noble from Xiyang City. He had to quickly inform Big Sister An Li of this news.
