Mi Na was dressed in black. She touched the tight night clothes on her body. The material was so soft that she didn't want to leave her hand.
Her eyes scanned the surroundings warily. She looked for traces of orcs in the trees, the ground, and the branches and leaves, but this forest was a little big!
She had been searching the forest for a day, but she could not find the orcs. The sky was already dark, and she had to rush back to the castle.
"Looks like I didn't get anything today. I have to go back. I promised Young Master that I had to go back tonight. I wonder what porridge Aunty Mei will cook tonight?”
Mina licked her dry lips and looked at the last bit of light from the setting sun. She took light cat-like steps and shuttled through the lush forest. She wanted to return to the castle before dinner.
About a dozen kilometers away from Mina, Axe was advancing warily. He had already removed his disguise and had even cleaned up his tracks before he left.
This was what Mina's second sister had taught him. The closer he got to the camp, the more careful he had to be. He couldn't let the humans follow him.
"We're almost there. Everyone will have wheat to eat.”Axe touched the 500 grams of wheat in his arms. When he thought of Lan 'er, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"It would be great if all humans were like Lan 'er, but nobles are nobles. That Liu Feng actually dared to grab Second Sister Mi Na's head.”
"We have to hurry back. Second Sister Mina is still waiting to be saved.”
Axe sped up again, his eyes scanning the dark forest. If he had not walked past it once, he would have almost missed the camp.
In the end, he returned to the camp. There was a cave, and at the entrance, there were a few strong…alright, tall and thin orcs guarding the door. When they saw Axe return, they were all very happy.
"Axe, go in quickly. Big Sister is throwing a tantrum. If you don't come back soon, she will scold us to death.”
"That's right! Fortunately, you're back. There's one more person to share the burden.”
Axe's footsteps froze. Thinking of Big Sister An Li's venomous tongue, he had the urge to kneel.
"I, I'm going in." Axe took a deep breath and stepped into the cave. He had only taken a few steps when he heard a crisp female voice.
"You look like a pig. If someone likes you, you can laugh openly. You actually think that she's not fat enough? Do you think you're still the 300-pound you from back then?”An Li shouted in disappointment.
" Uh…Big Sister, I'm a Pig Beastman. I'm like…" In the end, he didn't dare to say anything.
"What are you laughing at? The shadow of a withered branch can scare you to the point of crying for your parents. Are you still a bear beastman? You're so timid that I can't bear to look at you."
“…………”
" Phew…" Axe took a deep breath and walked in with his head held high and chest out. Then, he saw a few of his good friends squatting down and being lectured by the 1.5-meter tall and petite big sister.
Axe had seen such a contrast many times. A small person made everyone respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Cough cough cough…Big Sister, I'm back.”Axe shouted carefully. He knew that he had returned a little late today, which had caused his friends to suffer.
"…" Silence. Several pairs of gloating eyes were looking at Axe.
"You guys can leave first." An Li's weak voice sounded, but her tone was a little more relaxed.
"Good luck." The Pig Beastman patted Axe's shoulder and whispered.
"Do you want cork earplugs?" This was the Bear Beastman.
The corners of Axe's mouth twitched as he glared at the few of them. Then, he squatted in front of An Li like an obedient baby.
"I'm back." An Li panted slightly. She had to control this group of restless orcs, so she had to scold them properly. As time passed, she became a little sharp-tongued." I thought you fell into a cow dung pit again."”
"Uh…Big Sister, can we not talk about this?”Axe was speechless.
"What's wrong? Can't I even tell the truth? Back then, when you were twelve years old, it was Mina who pulled you out of a cow dung pit…"
The corners of Axe's mouth twitched. He could not let others hear about his dark history.
An Li glared at him and snapped," I told you to come back in the afternoon. Why are you going into the forest so late at night? Do you want to die?"”
Axe lowered his head. He didn't dare to reply. He would only be truly safe after Big Sister An Li vented her anger.
He knew that this was Big Sister An Li's way of showing concern for them. She only said nice things, but it turned into a poisonous tongue.
" Phew…" An Li was a little weak. She had been busy all day. She had to appease the orcs, or they would run around again. If that happened, she would be dead.
She knew that this place was not too far from the human city. She could not be careless. She had been exposed once before. If she had not left in time, they might have been put in a wooden cage by now.
"Big Sister, I have wheat here. I'll get someone to cook some for you.”Axe ran out with the wheat in his arms without waiting for An Li's reply.
When Axe came in with the wheat porridge again, he saw An Li lying on the animal skin with a hint of regret in her eyes.
He knew that Big Sister was hungry. She had given most of her food to those big eaters. In addition, she had to manage the orcs. She was really too tired.
Axe wanted to help, but unfortunately, she was not very smart. Big Sister was the smartest in the entire team, and it was also her and Second Sister who allowed them to live until now.
"Big Sister, get up and have some wheat porridge.”Axe called out softly.
"It smells so good." An Li struggled to open her eyes and looked at the wheat porridge in front of her. She couldn't help but lick her lips. She hadn't eaten wheat for almost ten days. She was about to vomit from eating wild fruits and grass roots.
"Does everyone have anything to eat?" An Li didn't touch the wheat porridge and asked first," Have you eaten? Where did this wheat come from?"
Axe quickly stuffed the wheat porridge into An Li's hands and patted his chest." Everyone got some wheat porridge. Big Sister, you eat first. I have good news for you later."”
