Generally speaking, if everyone suffered the same, it’s probably just to pour out bitter water to each other. But if most people are miserable but there is a person who’s happy… then, this person will be “miserable”.
Men’s jealousy is actually a kind of unspeakable thing… On this planet of orcs, it is the same as replacing it with “male”.
Therefore, after the female of Tan Tu’s family not only didn’t get hooked by the female star but also took Tan Tu back home, prepared better meals than usual, and even brought him dry food. The neglected males could not help but “pin” their burning eyes on Tan Tu.
And when male #4 and male #5 found where the dry food was, the males boiled.
Tan Tu hasn’t responded yet. Before he could cover Ah Ce’s love food, a huge black shadow immediately appeared in front of him—from the two radical males, #4 and #5.
Next, there was a dark oppressive crowd who rushed like locusts.
Yes, Tan Tu is indeed one of the strongest warriors in the tribe. However, no matter how strong a warrior is, he can’t match the sea tactics…
Soon, Tan Tu was pinned down and struggled desperately to no avail.
The fur bag around his waist was pulled down relentlessly. Tan Tu looked vainly at his cake and his salty and fragrant dried meat. He stretched his hand hard, but he could only watch them getting farther and farther away, torn into countless pieces…
More than a dozen pancakes and two pieces of dried meat, while the males—about twenty people besides Tan Tu—shared half of the cakes and a small piece of dried meat with great spirit. They chewed it up in Tan Tu’s face and made a purposeful sound.
Tan Tu felt for the first time how terrible the grievances of the masses was, but what made him even more depressed was that he didn’t get to eat anything that Ah Ce had made for him…
When the pressure on him finally disappeared, all the food was wiped out. He touched his stomach… Fortunately, he ate two more pots at noon and wasn’t hungry for the time being.
But perhaps it was because Tan Tu was deflated that he lost his temper. The spirits of the males obviously improved. Only the paired #4 and #5 came over and patted Tan Tu’s shoulder sympathetically, indicating that they were not so sincere in comfort.
Tan Tu depressingly said: “Ka Li, Wei Duo, you two were not thrown away by the female, why should you also grab my stuff?”
Ka Li—male #4 coughed and said: “We’ve heard that…”
Wei Duo—male #5 smiled, showing his white tooth and said: “Your female has good cooking skill!”
Ka Li added: “So, we have long wanted to have a taste.”
In other words, it just happened to be at this meeting… Tan Tu wanted to cry.
If this two wanted to eat, he can just invite them home for dinner someday. Why did they have to rob it when Ah Ce prepared his love food for the first time! Even they can just asked him secretly…
In this way, the rest of his miserable time, Tan Tu who was the happiest at first, used the fastest speed to hunt two behemoths and successfully turned his grievances into strength…
Su Ce was cutting radishes at home and soaked them into the water. It’s better to soak them as soon as possible before the radishes shriveled… Peeling and cutting radishes are easy tasks. Su Ce can do it easily.
About two hours later, he heard a noise outside the door so he put down his things and went out, and unexpectedly saw Tan Tu’s early return.
Just, he seemed strange…
When Tan Tu was not so dumb, he’s handsome and tough, but now his golden hair was mixed into a mess. There are many scratches and bruises on his bare skin, dirt and dust all over his body, and his holding an almost invisible shape of the fur bag.
Su Ce took a closer look and could recognize the one he had prepared for him.
This is really a mess.
...like he was being bullied.
Su Ce walked over anxiously, looked him up and down and asked: “Tan Tu, did you...fight with someone?”
According to theory, with Tan Tu’s strength, even if fighting with people in this village it wouldn’t look like this… it looked like being beaten by a group.
Tan Tu dropped his head and dejectedly said: “Ah Ce…”
Su Ce walked over, took his arm, took him to the wooden stool and sat down, “You sit first and wait for me.”
Tan Tu obediently moved.
Soon after, Su Ce came back carrying a basin of water in his hand, soaked with a relatively soft hide. Tan Tu—this guy really can’t take care of himself. Those wounds are still stained with dirt and doesn’t even know how to clean them.
Sure enough, there’s still some gap in hygiene habits… doesn’t it hurt?
In fact, boys who are slightly livelier had an experience of fighting with others when they were young. Even if they go out to be naughty or something, it’s normal for them to scratch a little skin and two pieces of meat. Even for earth people, it doesn’t matter if they looked scary. Let alone a male orc like Tan Tu, what’s the damage?
But Su Ce still felt somewhat displeased.
Tan Tu has always protected him. Although this big man is usually naive, the golden lion that changes at a critical time can be said to be very powerful—but now, he appeared in front of him in such a posture.
This feeling...perhaps a little hurt.
Tan Tu is his family.
Su Ce squatted down calmly, soaked the hide in water and wiped Tan Tu bit by bit.
No matter how the injury was caused, it is impossible for him to help with his force—congenital conditions prevented him from doing anything at all. So what he can do is to make Tan Tu feel better and not be infected.
Watching Su Ce’s movements, his heart somehow filled with a strange feeling. He shouldn’t speak now, but he really wants to hug Ah Ce.
The touch of the hide and water on the wound tingled, but this tingled didn’t feel much at all to Tan Tu, it was somewhat comfortable because something stuck to it was removed.
Tan Tu suddenly understood.
His Ah Ce cared for him and treated him well…
The very gentle Ah Ce. Even if he is now expressionless, he still makes people feel that he is so gentle.
Tan Tu suddenly felt that even if he was robbed by the group, even if he was beaten by the group, it was nothing. If someone else got such a good female, he would certainly be jealous!
No, no, no, if it’s Ah Ce with someone else… this kind of thought is absolutely not even in his mind! Ah Ce can only be his, his alone.
Tan Tu looked at Su Ce. The concentration in his eyes can burn a person.
Su Ce was totally unaware. His mind was occupied by the wounds. After dealing with the visible ones, he looked up at Tan Tu and asked: “Is there anything else in the leather pants?”
Tan Tu shook his head, “...no more.”
Su Ce wasn’t quite assured. He slowly touched him and found there were no other scars, then closed it satisfactorily. As a result, he was right on Tan Tu’s eyes full of special meaning.
Male creatures are touched, how can they not react! It’s not like it’s dead…
Su Ce understood on second thought, but he shook his head and said: “Not now.”
Tan Tu’s eyes lit up.
Su Ce added: “Neither at night.”
The light in Tan Tu’s eyes dimmed, his hand began to touch Su Ce’s arms with difficulty.
Su Ce held it down and patted him on the head, “You’re hurt. Wait ‘till you’re well… forget it today.”
Tan Tu slumped.
Su Ce rubbed his hair to appease him, went in to dispose of the dirty water then came out and sitted opposite him, “Tan Tu, what have you done today…”
Tan Tu followed Su Ce’s palm and lowly said: “All the things that Ah Ce gave me was robbed. I wanted to get it back, and the result was…”
He’s not very expressive but Su Ce still understood everything.
It turned out to be the fault of dried food...but this is not incomprehensible.
It’s just a harmless joke, not a real contradiction.
Seeing Tan Tu like this, Su Ce felt that he was shrouded in a shadow which made him feel uncomfortable. He thought about it, walked over, held Tan Tu’s head in his arms and softly said: “...Tan Tu, take a moment and later invite your friends home for a meal.”
Tan Tu stretched his arms around Su Ce’s waist, put him on his chest and said stiffly: “Okay.” Then added, “Ah Ce will bring me dry food…”
Su Ce nodded: “Yes, I will always bring it to you.”
He will try his best to bring more good food to Tan Tu. Su Ce thought so. Those guys aren’t always not bashful to rob Tan Tu everyday, are they?
Although he can understand this feeling, it’s too much not to leave a single piece to Tan Tu… In the future, let Tan Tu put things in place. Well, Tan Tu has to be smarter.
Towards evening, people from other tribes almost arrived and all went to the tents prepared by Tiger tribe. Then, the first day of the fire dance festival dinner party will be held soon.
It’s going to be lively.
