Chereads / Targeted by a Feline Orc in Ancient Times / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Class

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Class

Chi Yuyang turned her head.

This was the first time she saw such resistance on Hu Jin's face.

Even with a hint of panic.

"Patriarch, I don't need it, right?" Hu Jin's gaze dodged and at the same time he hugged Chi Yuyang tighter.

"What class is it?" Chi Yuyang's eyes looked at Hu Jin's tail half hanging down, showing how bad his mood is now.

"Today is not a literacy class but an common knowledge class." The patriarch added.

After speaking, he walked out of the cave, and the cubs on the ground also moved and followed his footsteps.

"Knowledge class?" Chi Yuyang was even more curious when she heard the answer. "Patriarch, can I also listen to it?"

"Of course." The patriarch's voice drifted away, and Chi Yuyang quickly took Hu Jin's hand to follow.

"Wife, I..." Hu Jin stopped talking.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the sparkle in Chi Yuyang's eyes.

She seemed to have a great reaction to the word 'knowledge'.

His wife's interest is more important than his.

Thinking of this, Hu Jin held Chi Yuyang hand and led her out.

At this time, dozens of tiger cubs were lying on the grass outside the cave.

Their fur color is light yellow or brownish yellow, and the black stripes on their body are different.

The moment Hu Tribe appeared, all the little tigers changed their previously lazy state and roared at once.

"Ao Ao Ao!" Hello, patriarch!

Chi Yuyang's eyes hasn't adjusted yet from the dark environment to the scorching as she walked out of the cave. When her eyes saw the scene in front of her, she was shocked.

Dozens of young tigers lay neatly on the grass, and they formed a rectangle with their bodies.

Chi Yuyang glanced at it, and counted that the number of tigers in each row and column was the same.

Their front paws were nestled in front of their chests, their heads swayed, and their eyes focused on the direction where the patriarch was standing.*

It looked like students sitting in the classroom and waiting for the teacher to attend the class.

The patriarch also mentioned that this is a "class" not long ago.

"This is the patriarch giving lessons to the underage tigers." Hu Jin took Chi Yuyang and sat down in the corner of the last row.

As soon as Chi Yuyang sat down, she found that a few tigers were looking in their direction.

She was sensitively aware that there was something their gaze.

This makes the people being stared at uncomfortable.

Chi Yuyang turned her head and glanced at Hu Jin.

Hu Jin looked calms as his arm embraced her body, and the other half propped his head.

But Chi Yuyang always felt that Hu Jin was acting weird.

Especially his tail. It's not standing proudly as usual.

At this moment, his slender and white tail was lying softly on the ground.

"Today, we are talking about Snake Tribe orcs."

The patriarch's thunderous voice came from the front causing Chi Yuyang to focus on him.

"Unlike our tiger tribe, the snake tribe orcs have inherited memories..."

Chi Yuyang had to admit that Hu Zuo's teaching method is boring.

In her short 20 years of life, she has never seen a teacher who can explain a lesson in such a boring way.

However, even after nearly half an hour passed, no tiger who was listening dared to walk around at will.

...This may be the majesty of the patriarch.

Except for a few tigers who will look back at them from time to time.

Then quickly retracts their gaze, assuming that nothing happened.

Naive.

Chi Yuyang yawned quietly.

If she didn't want to know more about this continent and that Hu Jin couldn't answer all her questions, she wouldn't...

Wait.

"Hu Jin, did you take these lessons when you were young?" Chi Yuyang held down Hu Jin's frantic hands.

Obviously he wasn't listening to the class but was playing with her fingers.

"Yeah." Hu Jin nodded, still with an indifferent expression on his face.

"There are literacy classes?" Although Chi Yuyang lowered her voice, there were still a few tigers close to them who couldn't help turning their heads to look at them.

But Chi Yuyang didn't think it was because they were whispering.

Even when the two of them were silent in the back row, a few heads would still turn around.

"Yeah." Hu Jin raised his head and warned the tigers who were looking over.

At the same time, Chi Yuyang closed her mouth.

In her mind, an idea is taking shape.

"Aowoowoowoowoo!"

She doesn't know how long the times passed until they heard roars of tigers.

"Class is over." Hu Zuo announced that today's class is over after hearing the roars.

Before Chi Yuyang could see what the tigers looked like, Hu Jin hugged her sideways and hid in the patriarch's cave.

"..." Chi Yuyang, who had no power to resist, beat Hu Jin's chest, "What happened to you today?"

The fire that had originally risen in the cave has now been extinguished, and Chi Yuyang can only rely on the faint light coming from outside the cave to look at Hu Jin.

There is no obvious mood swing in his eyes.

But Chi Yuyang always felt that he was very unhappy.

"This tiger cub still hate studying so much." The patriarch said as he walked into the cave and Chi Yuyang's questioning was interrupted by him.

"Maybe you are not born to learn." The patriarch sighed.

Hu Jin is not born to learn?

Chi Yuyang didn't think so.

She knew about Hu Jin's literacy a long time ago.

When they first met, he was still in the form of a cub and used cat food to make 'fire' and 'wood' characters.

Later, she asked him which word his "Jin" was.

But he only spelled out a 'wang'*.

At that time, Chi Yuyang was stunned for a while.

She waited for him to spell out the right half, whether it is 'Scenery' or 'Pansy'*.

Hu Jin said he didn't remember, he only knew that his 'Jin' meant 'beautiful jade'.

Chi Yuyang only knew his name.

Then Hu Jin explained to her that he could only write simple words.

Generally limited to five strokes.

Chi Yuyang believed it at that time.

Until she taught him to write her name.

He only read it once and learned it.

The three words "Chi Yuyang" written by Hu Jin on the ground with branches looked serious and pleasing to the eye.

From all the signs in the past, Chi Yuyang feels that Hu Jin's is a fast-learner.

Maybe he really doesn't like to learn, but Hu Jin is a material for learning no matter how you look at it.

Hu Jin didn't say anything and Chi Yuyang didn't have a stand to refute.

"Hu Jin, put me down first." Chi Yuyang whispered in Hu Jin's ear.

In front of the elders, it is too strange to princess carry her.

"No." Hu Jin finally spoke.

Seeing his awkward appearance, Chi Yuyang didn't feel happy.

"Patriarch, about the ape tribe, can we come back tomorrow to talk?" Chi Yuyang smiled apologetically at Hu Zuo.

"No hurry. The old man has plenty of time." Hu Zuo nodded, and stepped aside to make way for them.

"Then let's go, Hu Jin." Chi Yuyang stretched out her arm around his neck, and squeezed his tiger ears by the way, "Go back to your home in the tiger tribe."

That is where Hu Jin lived before.

On the way, Hu Jin did not change back to his beast form.

He just walked holding Chi Yuyang stubbornly in his arms.

At first, Chi Yuyang thought his residence was not far from the patriarch's cave.

But when the sun gradually went west, Hu Jin remained silent and kept moving forward at the same speed that Chi Yuyang had to ask him.

"Hu Jin, you are not lost, are you?"

Although this possibility is very small.

But after all, he left the Tiger Tribe as an adult and most likely the smell in his territory has already faded.

Moreover, there is no obvious change in the scenery along the way.

"My cave is at the outermost part of the tribe." Hu Jin pulled out a non-smiling expression.

"Hu Jin, you..."

"We are here." Hu Jin suddenly interrupted Chi Yuyang.

After speaking, he put Chi Yuyang down.

"Wife, go in first. There is a firewood inside. I will hunt for a while." As he spoke, Hu Jin took away the bottomed mineral water bottle in Chi Yuyang's hand.

He knew that Chi Yuyang used this to hold water so that she could carry it with her when traveling.

Chi Yuyang looked at Hu Jin's departing back and was silent.

She shook her head and got rid of the thoughts in her mind.

Following him now will only add chaos to him.

So Chi Yuyang walked quickly into the cave.

She lit a fire and then began to observe the cave.

There were a few sticks of firewood in the cave and nothing else.

Chi Yuyang remembered that in the patriarch's cave, although there were not many things, it was piled with animal skins and fruits of various colors.

According to Hu Jin, in addition to being eaten, several fruits in this forest have different functions like 'tooth fruit'

Orcs will prepare some fruits in their dwellings.

So this cave seems to be just a resting place.

Thinking of how Hu Jin was in class today, no…it should be his abnormal behavior since he entered the tribe.

The idea in Chi Yuyang's mind gradually became clear.

"Aowoo."

Chi Yuyang came back from her thoughts as she saw the white tiger walking towards her while holding his prey.

"Hu Jin, didn't you say you have three brothers?" Chi Yuyang needs to make sure one thing first, "Are they also white tigers?"

Hu Jin just turned into a human form when he heard this question, and his slightly raised animal skin hand paused.

"No, we are half-brothers."

So only he is a white tiger.

"Hu Jin, you idiot." Chi Yuyang finally confirmed her idea, so she increased her tone of voice.

"I'm a white tiger..." Seeing Chi Yuyang's expression of displeasure, Hu Jin silently lowered his head, "Wife, don't be angry."

"I... have been different from other tigers since I was a child. Everyone would look at me when the patriarch have classes...so I stopped going to class later."

Among the dozens of little yellow tigers, he is the only white tiger, and it is difficult not to attract other tigers' eyes.

"My brother doesn't like me either."

He even wanted him to die.

Hu Jin paused and continued: "The other tigers were adopted by the patriarch because their parents died, and I was abandoned by my mother."

"I am an alien in the tiger tribe."

"I am not from the tiger tribe. "Chi Yuyang became angrier when she heard his words. She really didn't know what was in this tiger's mind.

"But I'm a different kind." Hu Jin added, "They all said that."

"Then you brought me to the Tiger Tribe?" Chi Yuyang almost laughed at the silly tiger. "And end up sulking?"

He knew that something like this would happen when he brought her to the Tiger Tribe but he still decided to do it.

Then let her get angry with him.

"I want the patriarch to see you." Hu Jin couldn't understand why Chi Yuyang laughed. "He said that if I have a partner, I must show it to him."

"Then did he tell you, about your partner...companion, whether it doesn't matter if the other party is different or not. "

Chi Yuyang felt a little strange about the word partner.

So she changed her statement.

"And I like white tiger very much."

In every sense.

The author has something to say:

It is assumed that Chinese is the common language of the orc world.

Then each race will have its own language, which can be used in the case of beasts.

But the beast and human form can understand the common language.
