Chapter 53: Chapter 49: Fu Yi’s Discovery_1
Xiu Yan the cub was lying with a gloomy face in his small nest, his dumb hair was hanging listlessly: "Awoo~"
The little voice was soft and weak.
Ji Nuan found it hilarious, and after messing around with helpless Xiu Yan the cub for a while, she then turned around and left the small cave.
Listening to the fading footstep of the female cub, Xiu Yan finally lifted up his ruffled, round head, somewhat annoyed and began to comb his hair with his good paw.
"Shan Zaizai! Are you there?" A clear orc voice echoed from outside the cave, making Xiu Yan pause in the middle of grooming his fluffy paw, a strange male?
He gazed deeply at the cave entrance hidden behind the beast skin curtain: "Awoo awoo~" Come in!
The cub speaking in Orc language sounded very young, which made Xiu Yan grit his teeth in dissatisfaction.
The footsteps outside the cave were light, but for orcs, they were extremely clear.
The beast skin curtain was lifted from the outside and a good-looking orc came into Xiu Yan’s view.
"Awoo?" What can I help you with?
After glancing at the handicapped cub rumored to have been taken in by Shan Zaizai, Fu Yi’s eyes only sparkled once when they fell upon the chubby legs fixed with snake skins and boards. His expression quickly resumed its calm demeanor.
"Cub, Grandma Shaman is looking for Shan Zaizai. Do you know where she went?"
Xiu ’Fake Cub’ Yan didn’t miss the flicker in his eyes, and raised his uninjured chubby paw to point towards the little forest: "Awoo awoo awoo!" She went to the little forest to collect things.
Fu Yi nodded at the cub and then lowered the beast skin curtain to go outside, turning towards the shaman’s cave.
If he didn’t see it wrong just now...
"Shan Zaizai went out to collect things this early?" Grandma Shaman furrowed her eyebrows a bit.
"Yes, when I went there, she had been out for some time."
He glanced at Shaman Grandma, there was a flicker of struggle in his eyes, but he finally opened his mouth to say: "I saw the little lion cub she adopted in Shan Zaizai’s cave just now."
Grandma Shaman looked up, thinking about the cub with three broken legs, there was a touch of sympathy in her eyes:"How’s the little guy doing? Is he okay?"
She remembered the cub was chubby when it was first brought here, she wondered how it was doing now?
Fu Yi nodded his head: "The little cub is doing well, he’s chubby, and I saw that his three paws were fixed with boards and beast skins as if Shan Zaizai had treated him."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Shaman immediately sprang from the beast skin she was sitting on with an agility she’d never had before: "What did you say? Shan Zaizai treated a little cub? With beast skin and wooden boards?"
Her frantic questioning showed just how excited she was at the moment.
"Yes, I saw it clearly."
"Good, come and take a look with me!" With that, she marched directly toward the entrance of the cave.
Fu Yi’s eyes lit up, and he followed closely.
However, as she was about to leave the cave, the shaman suddenly stopped. Shan Zaizai was out gathering supplies, and the cub was alone in the cave. It would be pointless to visit now. It would be better to wait until Shan Zaizai came back, and they could ask her directly then.
"Let’s not go now, Fu Yi. You go on back. We will go there tonight." After saying that, she took her time stomping her feet, and turned back to her cave.
"Grandma Shaman..." Fu Yi’s usually indifferent face displayed a rare trace of anxiety.
Grandma Shaman didn’t turn around, her old voice reached Fu Yi’s ears, "I know you want Shan Zaizai to use this method to heal your uncle.
But Fu Yi, even if this method can really treat orcs’ severed arms and legs, I can’t do it, wait for Shan Zaizai to come back."
Having said that, she walked into the cave to sort out herbs.
Fu Yi stood outside the cave for a long time, in the end, he turned and ran towards the outside of the tribe.

"Aaah!"
"Wooah!"
"Giggle!!!"
Just walking to the edge of the small grove, Ji Nuan saw a group of fluffy balls rolling on the grass, the cubs were round and chubby. They were pouncing on each other, scratching each others’ backs, or ganging up in groups of three to five, chasing the giggle beasts around. The giggle beasts flapped their wings in fear as they ran away, beast fur flying all over the sky, it was quite a mess.
An old grandma sat under a tall tree, looking after this group of furry balls.
"Shan Zaizai, you here to gather?" Old Grandma’s old face cracked into a kind smile, she amicably called out to Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan tossed his basket on his back upwards, a tender smile creeping onto his tender face: "Yes, we’re nearly out of giggle beasts and stinky fruits at home, I’m going to catch a few giggle beasts and gather some stinky fruits along the way."
Old Grandma gestured with her hand: "Go ahead, the orcs are gathering in the Stinky Fruit Forest, it’s very safe there, go, go!"
After bidding farewell to Old Grandma, Ji Nuan picked up half a basket’s worth of giggle beast eggs, walked a short distance, and caught three giggle beasts. Only then did he head towards the Stinky Fruit Forest with his basket on his back.
A tall, dense thicket had already been turned into a flat path by the orcs. The orcs and females were constantly moving between the forest and the tribe on this path.
The tribe members would all smile and nod politely, warmly and kindly, upon seeing Ji Nuan.
"Shan Zaizai, here, here?" Seeing Ji Nuan, Ge Ye was so excited, she ran and hopped towards Ji Nuan.
But she was picked up around her waist by a tall, blonde orc from behind, she could only wail and kick in the air, showing great anger.
Seeing her helpless pitiful look, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but laugh: "Hahaha! Little Ye Zi, you look like a giggle beast that’s been tied down!"
Ji Nuan’s ’mockery’ reached Ge Ye’s ears, she cast a resentful glance at him, her plump arms and legs limply hanging on the orc, resembling a large rag doll.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, the orc couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, letting her down only when Ji Nuan came near.
The moment she landed, the rag doll immediately turned around and started beating the blonde orc with her little fists, the heavy pounding of her fists produced a "thump thump thump" sound, much to Ji Nuan’s amusement.
The young orc also cooperated by emitting "pitiful" cries of agony. After a one-sided beating from Ge Ye, she finally calmed down.
She snorted and moved up next to Ji Nuan, her little mouth pouting even higher: "Stinking Shan Zaizai, you didn’t help me just now, watching me being bullied by big brother."
"Big brother?" Ji Nuan’s two fluffy ears twitched, when did Ge Ye get an older brother?
"Yes, last year my big brother went on a journey of training, he just came back yesterday!" Even though she just gave her big brother a good beating, it was obvious from Ge Ye’s demeanor that she was very fond of the orc.
