I don't know how long I had slept, but Qing Qing opened his eyes and heard an obvious knock on the door outside the hospital. Finding that Usus hadn't come back yet, Wuqing got up and went to open the door, thinking that it might be a visit from Usus' tribe.
Qing Qing opened the courtyard door and saw a tall orc with half-long gray hair and a gift in his hand.
"Are you here to see Usus? He's not at home right now. Do you want to come in and wait for him to come back?" Qingwu said when he saw the orc at the door looking at him in a daze.
"No, no, I'll take a look and then leave." The tall orc came back to his senses after hearing Qing Qing's words, "By the way, this is for you." The orc handed the gift he brought to Qing Qing.
Seeing Wu Qing take the things, the orc left with satisfaction. This orc is probably a friend of Ussus. Everyone who came to see him brought gifts and didn't leave any words. He must be a very familiar friend like this, Qingwu thought to himself.
But what happened next made him think otherwise, because not long after the orc left, more than a dozen orcs came one after another, all giving things and leaving.
Is this the custom here, when someone comes back from outside, everyone comes to give gifts? Qing Qing took the thirteenth gift and wondered. Feeling that if he stayed at home like this, he would be disturbed by the knocking on the door and would be unable to do anything, Qingqing decided to go find Usus. Let him handle the affairs of their tribe by himself. Why is he, an outsider, busy here? When you go out, you can also take a look at the situation outside and see if the "female" Usus mentioned is the same person as yourself.
Wuqing closed the door from the outside and went out alone. Walking along the road, you can see the scattered yards and houses on both sides of the road. At the beginning, I didn't meet many people on the road, but they were ruthless enough to ask for directions or something.
However, as we got closer and closer to the market, there were more and more people. On the way, he also saw some men with similar figures to his own and with wheat-colored or honey-colored skin. Most of them wear long robes and have long hair, but most of their hair is maroon, and none of them is black. These are probably the "females" that Usus refers to, Ruthless guessed.
The houses near the market gradually became wooden, the houses were much smaller, and the yards were also much smaller. Most of the people living in the house were "females", Qing Qing observed as he walked.
Finally, we came to a street with more pedestrians. There were different shops and stalls on both sides of the street. This is the market here, right? Look at the scene in front of you ruthlessly. It was very similar to the small towns he had seen before, but this "town" was not that big.
People coming and going on the street have hair of different colors, including white, yellow, and red; they wear different clothes, including animal skins, short shirts, and long gowns. Wuqing began to realize that in such a society, no matter how strange you are, no one will find it strange. As long as you still have one nose, two eyes, and a human-like appearance, you are definitely not an alien.
Walking on the street, looking around ruthlessly, not to mention that this market is still very big and sells a wide range of things. Wuqing was hesitating whether to arrest another person and ask if he had seen Usus when he heard someone calling him. Hearing the sound, he saw a tall white-haired orc wearing a short shirt. However, does he know this person?
Ah Qing, it's you! You don't know me. I'm Mikajie, the same white leopard last night." Mikajie saw the beautiful female walking on the street yesterday. He happily came up to say hello, but the female didn't seem to recognize him anymore, and he was a little disappointed.
"Hello, Mikajie." Qingqing saw the sad expression on this grown man's face, which was a bit unacceptable. Yesterday he was a leopard, okay, but today he turned into a grown man, how could he recognize him?
"Well, hello, Ah Qing." Hearing the little female greeting him in a friendly way, Mikajie became happy again. Thinking about it, this female had only seen his own mimicry and didn't recognize his normal one.
"Do you know where Usus is?" Qing Qing asked the question he wanted to know. It was almost time to go shopping and find someone to go home.
"I know, he's still shopping. I'll take you to find him." Mikaj replied enthusiastically.
Wu Qing nodded, having someone lead the way, this couldn't be better.
——
On the other hand, Users carried a big bamboo basket on his back in the afternoon and visited almost all female products stores with an expressionless face. I figured I couldn't hide the fact that I had brought back a female cub anyway, so I just let it go...
Usus was hesitantly walking into a female clothing store. Although it is not true that there are no orcs who come to help their partners choose clothes, but as a single male who comes to buy clothes for a female and a female cub who is about to become an adult, Usus feels like he is being treated as a strange uncle. He said that it is very stressful. big...
"Hey, Usus, you're back." The store owner Monica greeted Usus who walked into the store, looking at the big bamboo basket Usus was carrying, which was filled with female supplies. I heard that Usus brought back a female cub, and it seems that this is true.
Usus nodded friendly. Monica is a married female who likes to make clothes. Female clothes are the ones Monica makes best.
"You're here to help your little female buy clothes? Why don't you bring someone here to try it out for yourself?" Monica, who was used to Users' reticence, followed her own speculation.
"Usus." Just when Usus didn't know how to reply, he heard a familiar voice calling him. He turned around and saw who his baby was. But where did Mikaj come from next to his baby? Did the little baby come here with Mikaj?
"Ah Qing, why are you out?" Usus quickly brought the person to him and then asked.
He didn't answer Usus' question, but looked at the clothes in the clothing store with interest. Most of these clothes were long clothes, which were similar to his own clothes, but the collars and sleeves were larger.
Obviously, both of them left Mikaj aside. Mikaji shook his head and walked away silently. As expected, one forgets about his brother when he has a female. Should he quickly find a female to keep?
"What does Ah Qing like?" Seeing his baby staring at the clothes in the store, Usus felt that he had come to the right place, so he asked. It is more appropriate for the female to choose her own clothes.
"The red one, um, the white one seems good too." Qing Qing was not polite, he really needed some change of clothes.
"Oh, Ah Qing, right? You have really good taste. These two clothes are made of fine spider silk. They are soft and very cool to wear in summer." Monica looked at "Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be there soon." The little female of the Users family said. This little baby is so beautiful before she reaches adulthood. No wonder even Users, a big guy like him, is attracted to her. His skin is fair and tender, and ordinary clothes may not be comfortable to wear. In this season, only clothes made of spider silk are suitable for him.
He is ruthless and non-committal about what the store says. Which store owner doesn't say that his products are good? However, the materials of the two clothes he picked were indeed the best among them.
"Pack two pieces of each color for me." Naturally, Users would have no objection to the choice of his own baby.
Hearing Usus's words, he raised his eyebrows mercilessly. This big man was quite generous. He didn't even ask the price and just bought two pieces. Aren't you afraid that he wouldn't have the money to pay back? And he is indeed penniless now, there is no way this big man doesn't know that.
"Let's go." Usus put the wrapped clothes into the bamboo basket behind his back and said to his baby. Usus had already noticed that there were several single orcs walking back and forth in front of the store for several times. Their eyes were still looking at his treasure. Usus knew very well what those eyes meant. Feeling that he had almost bought everything, Users decided to take his treasure home.
"Go back?" Usus asked ruthlessly after hearing what he said. Fortunately, he was almost done shopping, otherwise it would be a loss if he found someone when he came out this time.
Usus nodded, picked up his baby, and let him sit on his arms. Then walked quickly home.
He has become accustomed to Usus' ruthless behavior of hugging people. He is lazy anyway, so just hug him. As for what other people think, sorry, he doesn't care.
But it seems that no one around him reacts abnormally. This place is really different. In the past, if he was held like this on the street, he would definitely see others looking at him with contempt. Yes, the waiter is inherently despicable, even worse than a prostitute; but who knows how much he has paid in order to live a "despicable" life. In the world of killers, there is no distinction between high and low, there is only life and death, and those who live to the end are noble.
Sitting on Usus's arm, Wu Wuqing studied the things in Usus's basket with great interest. These things were quite normal. They were all daily necessities, not as abnormal as the animals and plants in the forest.
"Users, a lot of people came to your house this afternoon. Well, they were all orcs, and they all brought gifts. Are they here to visit you? But why did they all put down their things and leave without waiting for you to come back? Take a look..." Qingqing suddenly thought of his purpose of going out to find someone, and told Usus what happened in the afternoon.
"..." Usus paused in his steps and said nothing. He really wants to tell his baby that those orcs are actually here to see you, baby, and the gifts are also for you. How can you just put them in your house casually? But after hearing what his baby said was nothing to do with him, Usus didn't know where to start.
There are rules in the tribe that every single male has the right to pursue female cubs. Giving things to female cubs to show care is perfectly normal, because female cubs don't have mates. At best, he is now the guardian of the little baby, and the choice of which male to mate with ultimately rests with the female. Although an adopted female cub usually mates with the orc male who cared for it, there are some exceptions.
Regarding Usus' silence, Qingqing thought that what happened in the afternoon was a normal thing here, so he said nothing more. He sighed that the people here were really simple and warm, and then he was carried home by Usus all the way...
