Chapter 154: The Patriarch's Troubles
Everything is determined by God, and Lu Xiaoxiao is the variable.
The priest murmured to himself, they always thought that a female would become Nanshan's partner, and together with Nanshan, they would make the tribe stronger, and they never thought that... too many relationships in the forest might not be just partners.
The destined person may not be your lover, but may be a close friend or someone you know.
If there is destiny, why should we just be obsessed with whether we can be together for life?
"You said so, I feel like this little female is causing a lot of trouble." The chief grumbled in annoyance, "I really want Nanshan to be the chief. I'm so tired."
"No, you have to hold on." The high priest's thoughts were disconnected and he ruthlessly rejected his request, "It's not time yet."
"It's less than a year, less than two years, when will it be time?" The clan leader looked desperate. He really didn't want to be in charge of things anymore!
He is not like those old folks from the Haihe tribe who eat, drink and have fun every day. He is an orc who does practical things and does not want to be the chieftain at all!
From the expansion or recuperation of the tribe to the quarrels and fights among the orcs, he has to take care of all the trivial matters and is exhausted.
"If you are really tired, why not look for Lu Xiaoxiao?" The priest smiled and said, "Anyway, Hei Yu often helps you. Female ideas are sometimes good."
This is true. The Black Feather Tribe does not discriminate against females and even encourages females to do things within their ability. Take Heiyu and Heixi for example. They took the initiative to learn medicine from the high priest and spontaneously helped everyone when necessary.
Heiyu also participates in some tribal decision-making. When there are some major tribal events, he will ask the old females for advice. To say that they only know how to eat, drink and have fun is to underestimate the females.
The Jiang tribe is led by a female clan leader who makes all the decisions, and they run the business just as well. This is not a simple question that can be summarized as "female" or "male".
Among people, there are always powerful ones and mediocre ones. For example, not every male in their tribe is capable. There are always those who are strong but don't think.
"That's true. She seems quite smart." The patriarch's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea. He looked at the high priest with appreciation and nodded, "You have a good brain."
The high priest smiled unchanged: "That's because you are busy every day and didn't think about it."
"Oh, I'm old, and my brain isn't very useful anymore." The clan leader grumbled, "If my Black Blade wasn't stupid, I would have asked him to help more, humph."
Let alone Heifeng, he is much worse than Nanshan. Every day, he just goes out to play except hunting. If hunting was not necessary, he would want to play every day.
He said earlier that he wanted to pursue Lu Xiaoxiao, and now this unfaithful orc is approaching Yang Bai again. It's a good thing that Yang Bai doesn't know about this, otherwise Hei Feng would have lost the right to choose his mate.
Tsk, how could such a focused orc have a cub that is so easily distracted!
The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!
The high priest smiled and advised him: "A cub has its own ideas. It's good that Black Blade is like this. At least he is not that kind of little fool."
Compared to some kids in Haihe who always keep talking about being female or saying their father is XX, Heifeng, a polite and non-troublemaking little creature, is already very cute.
At least he doesn't bully the tribe just because his father is the patriarch.
Although there was also some element that the clan leader did not indulge him at all.
Oh, none of Nanshan and his gang were cowardly. Even the poor disabled Xiao Yuchuan, when he got mad at him, they dared to just press his neck and hit him. This kid had no chance to rebel.
"Well, that's all." The patriarch felt relieved after thinking about it.
"By the way, didn't Lu Xiaoxiao teach us how to make candy last time? Did you taste the berries that Ben brought back from outside last time? They're very sweet." The tribe leader rubbed his hands and suggested excitedly, "Why don't we make candy bars from this as well? Let's see if it works. I heard there are a lot of them on that land."
"Taste it. If you are interested, ask someone to pick it. However, the fruit will take more than 40 days to mature." The high priest smiled and immediately thought of the species. He suggested, "Instead of thinking about that first, why not plant the germinated seeds first? Maybe we won't have to exchange too many seeds this year, and everyone can eat better."
Thanks to the grains, more orcs' lives were saved during the rainy season. With a bowl of porridge every day, everyone could survive. After their numbers increased, they could pass on such a good thing as grain porridge to other tribes.
We are all selfish. If we tell others loudly that this particle can be eaten in this way, the price of the particle will only go up exponentially.
"Oh, yes, but can't this kind of thing survive if it's just thrown away?" Orcs seldom plant anything. They have not experienced the benefits of planting, especially for a tribe like theirs that has a big flood season. They have no concept of planting at all.
"How is that possible? Of course there is a chance that the trees will die. There are still so many trees in the forest that died without anyone knowing why they were not moved." The high priest said helplessly, "I heard that Lu Xiaoxiao likes to grow strange plants to eat. Why don't you give her some food or animal skins and ask her for her opinion?"
The high priest didn't say anything, he felt Lu Xiaoxiao should agree with this opinion.
"Ah, that's right. If we can grow crops, we can exchange less and use more prey to exchange for other things~" such as better food. The tribe leader's heart was floating: "Then I will trouble Lu Xiaoxiao to go to the exchange market again."
The high priest sometimes didn't know what to say.
"Of course, I will ask for her opinion in advance." The patriarch sighed.
Another person came in, talking about the same thing. The clan leader skillfully sent the person away and turned to look at the high priest: "Do you think that brat Yuchuan will become the same as before after he recovers?"
"No." The high priest shook his head. "He was young at that time and was just frightened. Now he has overcome the obstacles in his heart, and there will be no shackles to bind him in the future."
"His father was once a rare warrior in the tribe. He was not bad even when he was not in beast form. It's hard to imagine what level he could have reached after he entered beast form." The chief smacked his lips and took out a dried fish from his stockpile. He always liked the fishy smell.
"Would you like one?" He didn't forget his old friend while eating.
The high priest didn't like the smell of fish, so he declined: "I have something else to do, so I'm leaving."
"Oh, it's so delicious, you really don't want one?" The clan leader felt that he didn't know the value of the food, he actually didn't want such a delicious thing.
The high priest left leisurely, and only the chief was left in the cave, still looking down and showing off. He was extremely satisfied, and was no longer angry or depressed.
Sure enough, foodies and bad actors are still so easy to satisfy~
