Chapter 16: The patriarch of the tiger tribe

　　Ten minutes later, in the stone house.

　　"You said you are such a big tiger, how can you fall when you enter the water." Chi Yuyang smeared Hu Jin's wounds with disinfectant while pinching his ears that were slowly shaking with the wind, "Next time, remember to look at where you are walking."

　　Just now, before Chi Yuyang had time to react to the bright pupils that were getting closer, she heard a 'plop' and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

　　"Hu Jin, if you can, you'd better take a bath during the day."

　　She subconsciously thinks that Hu Jin also wants to take a bath. After all, he will not become a beast for no reason. "Your hair should be blow-dried for a long time. "

　　"Aowoo." The white tiger replied in a low voice.

　　In fact, he saw it...

　　So, he plunged into the water because he felt a rush of heat.

　　Fortunately, he is now in his beast form, and Chi Yuyang can't really understand the expression on his face.

　　When Hu Jin's fur was completely dry, his scratches also disappeared.

　　"Hu Jin, your recovery ability is too strong." Chi Yuyang touched his forelegs, only traces of the brown disinfectant were left there.

　　Combined with Hu Jin's performance today, Chi Yuyang had to admit that the power of the orcs was more fascinating than she had imagined.

　　"Does it not hurt anymore?" She confirmed with Hu Jin again.

　　Seeing the white tiger nod his head, Chi Yuyang hesitated for a moment and went to get her cloth bag to fold it as a pillow.

　　The location of Hu Jin's injury happened to be the place where she pillowed her head these few days.

　　Although there is no obvious wound, she dare not care.

　　"Then let's sleep." Chi Yuyang patted the white tiger on the head.

　　Hu Jin stared at Chi Yuyang's cloth pillow for a few seconds.

　　He grinds his claws secretly then retracts his gaze restrainedly, as if nothing had happened.

　　—

　　After waking up in the morning, Chi Yuyang habitually turned over and touched her cloth bag, only to remember that she slept with this thing on the pillow yesterday.

　　But how does she feel that the pillow feeling is not any different from the previous few days?

　　Could it be her illusion?

　　At this moment, Chi Yuyang felt her ears were itchy.

　　"Wife, good morning."

　　Chi Yuyang opened her eyes only to see Hu Jin's nose approaching, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

　　Confusion flashed through Hu Jin's blue-green eyes but he did not stop.

　　He looked at Chi Yuyang carefully, and then gently stroked the cheeks of the person under him with his fingers to take away the hairs stuck on it.

　　"Wife, you have my hair on your face."

　　"..." Chi Yuyang was taken aback and then reacted.

　　She was thinking about something crazy.

　　Blame it on Hu Jin's hair!

　　...

　　After making a bamboo tube meal yesterday, there is still a lot of bamboo left.

　　After breakfast, Chi Yuyang thought about the mountain of bamboo outside the house.

　　There are many inconveniences in living in this world.

　　Although the lotus leaf can hold water, it can only hold a little at a time.

　　And the mineral water bottle she brought is smaller, so it's okay to carry it with you when going out but it won't be of much use in the stone house.

　　So she asked Hu Jin to chop some of the remaining bamboo into bamboo tubes.

　　"Wife, what about the others?" Hu Jin picked it up and cut faster than a knife.

　　Because only half of his body is covered, Chi Yuyang can see the smooth muscle lines of his body.

　　Looking at Hu Jin's neat movements, Chi Yuyang couldn't help sighing for the serious man... this male orc, his hormones were a little too high.

　　"As for the others, I haven't thought about it yet." She lowered her head and forcibly changed the subject, "Wait, let's go out and stroll."

　　After solving the problem of water source and rice, the next thing Chi Yuyang wants to find is salt.

　　Even if she tries to save as much as possible, to this day, only half of the edible salt she brought is left.

　　Considering that she may live here for a long time in the future, Chi Yuyang feels that salt is an indispensable seasoning.

　　More importantly, in order to save salt, she replaced it with sugar when roasting today.

　　As a result, Hu Jin said it tasted exactly the same as without salt.

　　And Hu Jin was a human at the time.

　　This is something she didn't expect.

　　It turns out that feline orcs can't taste sweetness regardless of whether they were in human or animal form.

　　Thinking of Hu Jin's extremely excited expression when he tasted the salted meat, Chi Yuyang became more determined to find salt.

　　There are too few things that she can do for Hu Jin.

　　Now that she has a good opportunity, she certainly didn't want to let it go.

　　Chi Yuyang felt that as long as she found salt water, she could extract salt from it.

　　"Hu Jin, is there a sea near here?" Before going out, Chi Yuyang planned to determine their destination first.

　　"Sea? I haven't seen it." Hu Jin shook his head.

　　Hu Jin caught a flash of dimness in Chi Yuyang's eyes, so he quickly added: "But the patriarch is so knowledgeable, he may know about it. When we return to the tiger tribe, I will ask him for you!"

　　"Okay. Then today we're going to pick some fruits." Chi Yuyang responded.

　　Chi Yuyang faintly began to look forward to meeting the patriarch.

　　Hu Jin mentioned the patriarch of the tiger tribe countless times, as if he was an omnipotent being.

　　Chi Yuyang also knew that he was the tiger who raised Hu Jin.

　　To summarize, the patriarch should be a kind and wise tiger.

　　-

　　Two days later, Hu Jin with Chi Yuyang went back to the tiger tribe to talk to the patriarch.

　　"This is the tiger tribe?" Chi Yuyang took Hu Jin's hand and walked in the forest.

　　There seemed to be no obvious difference between the two forests they had stayed in.

　　To be honest, she's starting to get a little tired of looking at the same scenery.

　　And Chi Yuyang just met an orc tribe like the sheep tribe a few days ago. Right now, she is very curious about the tiger tribe who liked to live alone and what their tribe would be like.

　　"What does the tiger tribe look like?"

　　"Our tiger tribe is centered on the patriarch's territory and surrounding it are tiger territories." Hu Jin explained.

　　"All the orcs of your tiger tribe live in the same area?" Chi Yuyang recalled the cave before. "Then the cave where I met you, is it close here?"

　　Upon hearing this,Hu Jin did not directly answer her question.

　　He turned his head, looking at somewhere attentively and staying quiet for a while.　　

　　"Hu Jin?" Chi Yuyang sensitively sensed that his emotions were not right. "Are you all right?"

　　"My father is not a Tiger Orc from this forest." Hu Jin mentioned another matter without thinking. "The patriarch said he came from another place."

　　Chi Yuyang didn't respond but listened to Hu Jin quietly.

　　"So, the first thing I did when I became an adult was to leave the Tiger Tribe."

　　"Wife, I..." When he was halfway through his sentence, he went silent.

　　He didn't know how to continue.

　　"When the matter of the ape tribe is resolved, let's go find your father." Chi Yuyang finished what he wanted to say to her.

　　Hu Jin jolted back to look at Chi Yuyang.

　　The expression on her face shows that she is not joking.

　　"I am an orphan. If I know my parents are still alive, I would like to meet them. No matter what their lives are and what their reason is for leaving me, I will want to meet them."

　　After getting along with Hu Jin, Chi Yuyang discovered that he also understood how to build relationships with someone although he is an orc.

　　"Actually my mother..." Hu Jin just uttered a few words and suddenly stopped after he noticed something.

　　A gust of wind came from nowhere, turned into a quick offense in mid-air and struck straight at him.

　　Hu Jin hurriedly protected Chi Yuyang and took the attack with his back.

　　"Hu Jin?" Chi Yuyang was in Hu Jin's arms calling his name in a panic.

　　What happened? Did the Ape Tribe advance their plan?

　　She felt that the moment Hu Jin was attacked, his whole body was shaking.

　　Chi Yuyang wanted to check Hu Jin's injury.

　　At this moment, she regretted not carrying the toolbox with her.

　　Before leaving, Hu Jin told her that there would be no danger.

　　"Hu Jin, let me see your injury."

　　But Hu Jin didn't let her move at all.

　　"You bastard, you still know how to come back!" A loud voice came from not far away with obvious sorrow in it.

　　As the deafening anger sounded, another attack came with a sharp cold wind.

　　"Patriarch, my wife is here! You can hit me but you don't hurt her!" Hu Jin hugged Chi Yuyang tightly, told Chi Yuyang through his eyes that he's alright.

　　As soon as these words came out, the attack suddenly stopped and vanished.

　　"Wife? The female who is with you is your wife?" THe expressed his disbelief but did not launch the next attack.

　　"Hu Jin, are you okay?" Seeing this, Chi Yuyang quickly went to see the injury on his back.

　　She saw a pink scar on Hu Jin's back, spreading from neck to the waist.

　　Even the animal skins he wore today were scraped into a mess.

　　There was no blood but you could tell that this attack was ruthless.

　　Hu Jin had no time to speak because a sonorous voice came into his ears again.

　　"He has rough and thick skin. If he doesn't hurt a few times he wouldn't learn and remember!"

　　This time, Hu Jin didn't wasnt to say anything as if he had acquiesced to this sentence.

　　He just pulled Chi Yuyang to continue walking forward, and then stopped in front of a large piece of vegetation.

　　Behind the shadows, there is a hidden cave .

　　Chi Yuyang was in a daze and did not hear their conversation clearly.

　　Standing here, she guessed that the owner of the voice just now was the patriarch who raised Hu Jin.

　　After all, the way they hide the cave is exactly the same.

　　"Patriarch, I was wrong." Hu Jin's voice was already low, but now that he is apologizing, it sounded like he was whispering.

　　Without listening carefully, Chi Yuyang thought Hu Jin just opened his mouth.

　　But the orcs in the cave heard what he said clearly.

　　"Will you do this again next time?" Apparently the patriarch in the cave didn't buy his apology.

　　The next sentence of the patriarch made Chi Yuyang's heart tremble.

　　"Let your wife come in. You, wait outside."

　　Chi Yuyang raised her eyes to look at Hu Jin, asking for help.

　　She wants to go in with him.

　　"The patriarch is a good person, don't be afraid wife." Hu Jin actually laughed.

　　But judging from the meeting ceremony just now, Chi Yuyang doubted the authenticity of this statement.

　　Looking at Hu Jin's heartless smile, Chi Yuyang couldn't help touching his face.

　　This silly tiger.

　　At the same time, Chi Yuyang was afraid that if she didn't go in, more attacks would come from inside.

　　Thinking of this, Chi Yuyang gritted her teeth and walked towards the cave with her head down.

　　There is the posture of an ugly wife who will meet her in-laws.
