Chapter 124 The Truth
The food had been prepared long ago, but the few people who had gone out had not returned yet, so the crowd did not start eating, but waited patiently for them to return and eat together.
Su Ling paced at the entrance of the cave. When Hu Yi led Hu Di into the cave, she immediately went forward and handed him the towel, asking with concern, "Are you okay?" Her eyes fell on the orc behind Hu Yi, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is this?"
Hu Yi took the towel, wiped his head and responded: "This is my former tribesman."
The tribesmen from the past, that was the tribe that was massacred in blood when he was a child. He didn't expect that there were still tribesmen. Su Ling was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Oh? Oh! Come in first, we have prepared food, let's eat first, and we can talk about anything later." Su Ling stepped aside to let Hu Di in, and looked outside again. There was no one else behind him, so he asked in confusion, "Didn't Hu Shan and the others go with you? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"They are handling some things in the back and will be back soon." Hu Yi didn't want to tell Su Ling about those cruel things, so he just brushed it off.
Su Ling just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Hu Di was surprised to see a female here, and nodded, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Hu Yi waved his hand casually, and the towel flew over his head like a flash of lightning. "Don't be so formal. We are all members of the same tribe from now on, so there is no need to be so reserved." Hu Yi's tone was casual and natural, as if all this was a matter of course.
Hu Di slowly took off the towel from his head, but a complex emotion surged in his heart. A member of a tribe...does he really have a chance to become a member of this tribe? This question kept lingering in his mind, making him unable to say more for a while.
When Hu Shan and the others who followed in heard what Hu Yi said, they were relieved. It turned out that Hu Yi had not abandoned them! In this way, they were completely relieved and their faces bloomed with bright smiles.
Hushan walked forward quickly, holding Hudi's hand tightly, and walked towards the cave, saying, "Yes, we are from the same tribe now, and we must support and help each other in the future! Let's go, let's go eat something first, and we can talk slowly later if there is anything."
Hu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself: You guys weren't so enthusiastic just now! But it's good this way, at least we don't have to worry about everyone having trouble getting along in the future. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Su Ling keenly caught Hu Yi's relaxed and happy mood at the moment. She gently took his hand and said softly, "Let's go, let's go eat first."
Hu Di was amazed in his heart. Even in the White Tiger Tribe, he had never tasted such delicious food. If he hadn't pinched himself hard several times to make sure he was not dreaming, he would have almost suspected that everything in front of him was an illusion, just a beautiful dream that he had longed to realize.
"Come on, come on, eat more. Look how thin you are. There are only bones left on your body. As an orc, you'd better be stronger, otherwise you won't be able to find a mate." After thinking that Hu Di no longer posed a threat, Hu Shan took great care of this orc who had experienced hardships and kept picking up dishes and adding food to him.
Hu Di was filled with gratitude, but at the same time he felt helpless. Did he not want to eat more to make himself stronger? He didn't want to? He couldn't.
Hu Di said no more and wolfed down the food that other tribesmen had brought him. He thought to himself, "Are all the tribesmen in the tribe where the young patriarch is now so warm and hospitable?"
After the meal, Hu Yi informed everyone in the cave of Hu Di's true identity. At his instruction, Hu Di told everyone everything he had experienced over the years.
At the same time, Hu Yi finally learned what happened in the White Tiger Tribe.
In fact, Hu Yi went out that day not just to play, but to catch red-haired rats for his mother. This kind of rat is active only at night, and its fur is bright red, which has excellent warmth retention properties.
Hu Yi planned to catch enough red-haired mice before the cold season came, and then make a warm animal skin coat for his mother. Since he wanted to give his mother an unexpected surprise, he did not tell anyone about it, so he kept it a secret from everyone.
However, what was unexpected was that after he left the tribe that day, when everyone in the tribe fell into a deep sleep, an outsider actually broke into the tribe. What was even more strange was that many powerful orcs in the tribe were unable to fight back when facing the foreign enemy.
They were easily killed by the orcs who broke into the tribe. The chief led the tribesmen to resist and tried to open a way of survival for them, but because they could not use their full strength and there were too many enemies, they all died at the hands of the enemy in the end.
Of this huge tribe of more than a thousand people, only some underage cubs and a few subdued females survived.
They were all taken back to the Fierce Lion Tribe and became slaves of the Fierce Lion Tribe, doing the most tiring and dangerous work. Tribe members often died, and in order to prevent them from escaping, they were given slave rings and strictly prohibited from stepping out of the tribe.
The reason why Hu Di was able to leave the Lieshi Tribe this time was entirely because Shi Ling wanted to sneak out to the trading market to play, and he took him with him because he was impressed by Hu Di's strength. He didn't expect that he would meet Hu Yi this time.
To date, there are only a few dozen members of the White Tiger Tribe still alive, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. If things continue like this, the remaining members of the White Tiger Tribe will surely die in the Fierce Lion Tribe in a short time.
Hu Di looked at Hu Yi after he finished speaking, his eyes were full of complex emotions, with both his eager hope that Hu Yi could save them and his deep worry and entanglement that Hu Yi might be arrested. He opened his lips slightly, but hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Moreover," Hu Di continued, his voice slightly lowered, "I don't know where they learned that the White Tiger Tribe has a special training method. They have always coveted it and longed to obtain this secret training method, which is why we can still survive in the world. At first, we all gritted our teeth and refused to reveal any information. However, when we saw them cruelly selecting some of us and killing us, we had to succumb to the pressure and told us some basic training methods."
