Chapter 11

After greeting the Patriarch, Su Ce and Tan Tu stepped out of the tent.

Tan Tu embraced Su Ce’s shoulders with cautious protective gesture.

When his vision were clearer, the scenery is completely different from the seen with blurred vision. When Su Ce stepped out of the tent, he was greeted with a very magical impression—just like walking into the primitive world, not just the shabby clothes of houses and tribesmen, but also a wild smell from the air.

As a man of nature and wilderness—Su Ce reaches out his finger to push his glasses, then remembered it had been lost—he felt a momentary obsession.

Tan Tu have been carefully observing the female’s expression. He’s very happy that he likes his tribe.

“Ah Ce, let’s go.” Because of the rush, the two didn’t arrived until early in the morning, then talked with the Patriarch. The female should be very tired by now, Tan Tu thought anxiously.

Su Ce looked up and saw Tan Tu’s golden eyes again. His eyes shifted, “Why isn’t your hair...golden?”

Tan Tu paused before replying, “I have never been married...”

... What does this have to do with marriage...

Su Ce felt a bit weird and chose not to ask anymore. He turned around and said, “Go to your house.”

Tan Tu was a little scratched. Ah Ce’s topic changed too quickly and seemed to be unable to keep up with it...but...forget it, as long as Ah Ce was willing to go to his house.

Under the care of Tan Tu, Su Ce looked at both sides while walking. He’s trying to overthrow his previous speculation about the ‘experimental base’ and everything in the tribe gradually comes to his eyes.

The people of the tribe—each of them is very tall and wears animal skin like Tan Tu. Most shoulders carry something that looks heavy, such as the carcass of a wild beast or a green plant that’s about the length of a tree with strings of heavy black fruits similar to broomcorn mullet hanging at the front of the plant.

Correspondingly, in front of many houses built of woods or stone, the men sitting in the wooden stool outside the threshold are also dealing with similar things. Such as bright red pieces of meat and hard leather or stripped down pieces by pieces.

These men are relatively shorter but also slender. Mostly about one meter eighty with well-proportioned muscles on their bare forearm and calf.

Su Ce is only one meter seven or eight. The muscle layer is also very thin.

What’s more strange is that he did not see a woman in this tribe.

Every house aren’t arranged neatly but form a scattered divergent lines. Houses are located on points of these lines. The neighbors facing each other but did not interfere with each other.

Each house has a large area around it. Surrounded by some fences. The size of the houses are not that consistent but basically tall. The wooden doors are wide and could accommodate five or six Orcs. There are also some smaller ones, which often have two layers or more.

When Su Ce passed by these houses, the men working in front of the door would looked up at him then looked at Tan Tu, then gave different smiles— mostly friendly. Sometimes a few children ran out of their houses, some stronger and some weaker, and they all looked at him curiously.

With so many eyes staring, Su Ce frowned invisibly.

A man with different color and a tall figure like Tan Tu looked at him. The emotion in his eyes made him a little hairy so he turned sideways towards Tan Tu. Moving a little beside him, those tall men will smile and take their eyes off.

Holding Su Ce’s head, Tan Tu glared at his male tribe.

Suddenly, Su Ce asked, “Tan Tu, are you hot?”

Tan Tu’s body temperature suddenly rose, his arms around his shoulders were hot.

Tan Tu blinked, “Not hot.”

Then Su Ce no longer asked.

In fact, Tan Tu was not hot but his blood was boiling.

On Kanda, where the ratio of female Orcs to male Orcs was one of three, not all males could find their favorite females they want. Moreover, Orcs have a strong desire of exclusive ownership on their partners, which limits the possibility of ‘sharing’.

Therefore, males always place strong attention on unowned females—to determine whether they like the females then pursue them.

For Tan Tu, neither his male instinct nor the blood of half the beast in his body made him indifferent when facing provocation of other Orcs.

Yes, watching his Ah Ce was provocation! Tan Tu thinks so.

Those males who noticed Su Ce were as combative as Tan Tu, they would converge not only because Tan Tu showed such ‘must-have’ willingness, but also because Tan Tu was the strongest in the tribe. Most males saw Tan Tu’s hand rested on Su Ce’s shoulders and the direction they were heading—Tan Tu’s residence.

The female accepted Tan Tu’s right of priority to pursue... Due to the fragility and scarcity of the females, the males respected them exceptionally.

After another walk, Su Ce saw a large flat area. It was divided into two sides with many large pieces of animal skins. Many things were placed on the skins including animal legs, various kinds of lean meat and internal organs. Some yellowish things that looked a little sticky and a lot of fruits and plants like wild vegetables.

Su Ce didn’t know anything either animal meat species or vegetable fruit species.

He remembered the two moons he saw the first night he was here... Su Ce sighed in his heart. He thought, he probably really came to another world.

Because if it is still on Earth, no matter what experimental base, even if it undergone any powerful mutation, there will not be so many strange plants...even few that makes him seem familiar. This was really unlikely.

Everyone who came to the stall was carrying a fur package wrapped in it, which looked heavy inside. When they took it out, Su Ce saw that it was some bones of different colors that were exchanged with the stall owner. It could be seen that there are already more standardized bazaars...

Tan Tu noticed that Su Ce’s attention had changed direction. He looked at the towel around his waist and stopped. He originally wanted to change something for Su Ce here, so he grabbed him and came to a quieter stall on the left.

The things placed on this stall are very different from those beside it. There are some linen, white and light yellow fabrics. They are not delicate and could be seen as hand-woven.

Tan Tu greeted, “La Ya, take out your best outer lining and lower garment.”

The man called La Ya was a thin man with delicate eyes and has a cheerful voice, “You came here the earliest today. No one else have picked it up.” He looked at Su Ce and smiled, “It seems that you will hunt harder in the future!”

In the early morning hours, many females will come out to set up stalls while males will go into the mountains to hunt in the woods. When it’s morning market, it’s usually females who come out to exchange things. When it comes to evening market, it’ll be much more lively.

Tan Tu touched his nose.

La Ya is a gentle female without a partner, with good looks and good hand-knitting skills. Tan Tu had no bad impression on him so he acquiesced in his ridicule and said, “I don’t know much about this. Please help me pick it out. It’s better to make Ah Ce comfortable.” From the past few days, Su Ce’s body was to fragile to use too coarse cloth.

Su Ce lowered his head and looked at his bared upper body...he really couldn’t always meet people around with bath towel. So he would do more to repay Tan Tu for his help in the future. Tan Tu’s thoughtful consideration also warmed his heart.

Tan Tu was just about to choose with Su Ce when two small figures came running at a brisk pace not far away, hand in hand. He looked carefully and saw Ai Guo and Ai Mi together.

Oh! Su Ce and Tan Tu just came out from the Patriarch. These two didn’t go at all! Tan Tu remembered he was too anxious about Su Ce’s injuries and forgot them. They met them again, he couldn’t just let it go.

When Su Ce heard the familiar voice and also looked back. He saw one with short hair and one with long hair hanging down his waist which were all pink and tender, quite cute.

Tan Tu was embarrassed. He clamped the twins together one by one lightly without exerting any force, then said, “Su Ce, you choose there first. I’ll send them to the Patriarch and come back.”

Su Ce’s eyesight recoveted so he didn’t feel any problem, “Okay.”

The next moment, he saw Tan Tu run away like someone was chasing him. Su Ce paused, squatted down then continued to observe the fabrics.

“Are you coming back with Tan Tu?” La Ya asked with a smile when he saw Su Ce’s seriously looking at the contents of his booth.

He thought for a moment then nodded, “Hmn.”

“Tan Tu is really blessed!” La Ya looked at him and thought the relationship between the two was very determined. He said with bit of fun, “You look so good. When you get married, you have to let Tan Tu hold a big bonfire...”

... Married? Su Ce was shocked, the meaning of this word... he suddenly had a bad feeling.

La Ya thought Su Ce was still nervous and worried like what all females would about their marriage. He comforted him, “Don’t be afraid. You’ll have a baby soon! You are healthy and Tan Tu will take care of you.”

... Child?!!

Two successive bombs dropped, leaving Su Ce stunned.
