Chapter 44 Air Transport Plan
He thinks of me as his dad?
Although Yingxi was still in a coma, he had been poisoned for a long time and the poison was very strong. This time, Shen Nong snatched his life back from the hands of the King of Hell.
No matter how good the orcs' physical functions are, they are like people who have died once and need to lie down and recuperate for a period of time.
Shen Nong checked his body and said that all his body functions had recovered well. He woke up once and Yu Ji fed him a lot of water because of dry mouth.
Originally they wanted to discuss the transaction, but Yu Ji was worried about Ying Xi, so he decided to have the conversation with Shen Nong about the transaction in the cave where Ying Xi was.
Shen Nong never does business at a loss. He spent so much effort to save an unfamiliar orc, especially the chief of a tribe whose background he didn't know, not to show how capable he is or how kind-hearted he is.
He thought of the promise Yu Ji made to him at the beginning, "You said that as long as we can save this man, your Yu tribe can do anything?"
Yu Ji nodded.
Seeing that the other party didn't default on the debt, Shen Nong was in a good mood. But even if the other party defaulted on the debt, Shen Nong didn't care.
When treating Yingxi, he was afraid that the Yu tribe would have evil intentions because of his abilities, so he left a trace of spiritual power in Yingxi's body.
There is nothing wrong with keeping this spiritual power in the body as long as it does not affect it. It can even make the body healthier.
But if Shen Nong wanted to, this spiritual power could easily take the eagle's life.
He endured the pain of exhaustion of spiritual power to save people. If the Yu tribe refused to pay, he would not kill Yingxi, but he would use his spiritual power to make the other party suffer every day.
"You don't have to worry that I will ask you to take your life in return. However, there are indeed some dangers."
Yu Ji waited seriously for Shen Nong to continue speaking.
"I want the orcs in the Feather Tribe who are in the form of flying birds to help me open up a trade route and deliver goods for us. However, there will be certain dangers when contacting new tribes, so we need to be careful."
The land was filled with mountains, jungles, and rivers in the wilderness, which was a great obstacle. The shortest route from the Wood Tribe to the Feather Tribe would take them five days to walk.
But it’s different in the sky. The journey is smooth and the only threat and obstacle is the weather.
And now there are no artillery shells, so the orcs on the ground have no way to deal with the orcs flying in the sky.
There is no need to worry about the goods being stolen by tribes along the way.
After Shen Nong came to the Yu Tribe, he had been thinking about "air transport". He finally got an opportunity and he didn't want to give it up.
"It's not for nothing that I asked you to send me off."
Thinking of what Yu Ji had said to Ying Xi before, that he would trade meat and animal skins with them, his words revealed that they were short of meat and animal skins, Shen Nong said, "After the delivery is completed, the orcs who deliver the goods will be given meat or animal skins as commission."
Yu Ji tried very hard to understand. He could understand the first part, but he really didn’t understand what commission was.
Shen Nong saw his confusion and couldn't find a better word to explain to the primitive orcs, so he could only give a rough example, "After completing a delivery, we will give the orcs extra meat or animal skins. The specific amount will be discussed later."
Yu Ji understood, and his eyebrows were filled with joy, but also with doubt, "Are you telling the truth?"
Just by flying there you can get meat or animal skins. It's so easy!
Shen Nong affirmed: "Really."
Hunting has always been difficult for the Yu Tribe, partly because of their animal form. They fly in the sky and are surrounded by dense forests, which creates many obstructions.
Another reason is that the surrounding tribes united to exclude the Yu tribe. As long as the Yu tribe hunted, other tribes would unite and start hunting within the hunting range of the Yu tribe.
The prey left for the Yu tribe were either too small to be eaten or too big to be defeated.
If the orcs of the Yu tribe want to eat enough, they have to fly far away and avoid these tribes to hunt. But this will also consume a lot of energy. If they want to recover their energy, they need to eat more meat.
The Yu tribe had also experienced several migrations, all because they were excluded by the surrounding tribes. But they could not survive in a land without any tribes.
The land without tribes is the territory of wild beasts.
Yu Ji knew why those tribes rejected them. In the final analysis, it was because of their animal form.
They could fly freely in the sky, and those tribes were always worried that the Yu tribe would suddenly attack them.
Yu Ji knew in his heart that the Yu tribe would not do this. But if he told others about this, no one in the tribe would believe it. It was not like they had not tried it before.
Therefore, Yu Ji was happy but also a little surprised about Shen Nong's proposal.
Isn't this tribe afraid that they will attack their tribe under the pretext of transporting goods?
Yu Ji thought so and asked this question. He was really curious.
After all, the Yu tribe has been excluded by the surrounding tribes for this reason until now.
When Shen Nong heard this question, he really didn't know what to say for a moment.
Could it be that I'm not afraid because our tribe has crossbow carts, and we can shoot anything within range, no matter if it's flying in the sky or running on the ground?
This could not be said, Shen Nong said casually: "Because I believe that the orc warriors of the Yu tribe are upright and will not do such a sneak attack that is despised by orcs."
Although Yu Ji didn't quite understand some of the words in Shen Nong's words, it didn't stop him from being moved.
"Yes! The orc warriors of our Yu tribe will not attack secretly!" Yu Ji said seriously, "If we want to fight, we will tell you in advance!"
Shen Nong: Can we still win?
When the conversation was almost over, Yu Ji thought of Shen Nong's ability. He was doubtful about Shen Nong's ability and asked, "Are you the priest of the great tribe?"
Shen Nong didn't want to hide his identity, but the number of people in their tribe shouldn't be considered a big tribe. He shook his head and said, "I am the priest of the Mu tribe, but our tribe is not a big tribe."
Wood tribe?
That was indeed something he had never heard of, so Yu Ji didn't ask any more questions.
Tribal priests have some abilities that others don't have, otherwise how can they lead the tribe to develop. Yu Ji also has some abilities. Although their fire control ability has been lost, as a priest of the Yu tribe, he also has an ability that no one else has.
Yu Ji felt that he had finally met someone who understood their tribe. He was extremely happy and also wanted to let Shen Nong see his abilities.
"Come on, I'll show you something!"
As he said that, he reached out to pull Shen Nong. The touch of others made Shen Nong feel uncomfortable, and he wanted to shake off Yu Ji's hand. But seeing Yu Ji's happy expression, he pursed his lips lightly, thinking that he could just bear with it and wipe it off later.
Ze noticed Shen Nong's abnormality, he grabbed Yu Ji's wrist and applied a little force. Yu Ji felt some pain and quickly let go.
He didn't understand what was going on with this tall orc. Before and now, he would never let anyone touch their priest.
But on second thought, it was not hard to understand. After all, he was a priest of a tribe, so it was right to protect him carefully.
But when Ze took out the small square piece of animal skin that he had seen before and wiped the place where his hand had touched, Yu Ji was stunned.
? ?
Yu Ji didn't understand Ze's actions, but Shen Nong knew. This kid remembered that he didn't like being touched, and his mysophobia was more reliable than he was.
Sometimes he got his hands dirty, but he didn't think it was a big deal, but I would always get water ready for him to wash his hands as soon as he finished his work.
Sometimes, even if Shen Nong himself didn't care much about something or could tolerate it, Ze would remember it and wipe it clean for him.
Even Shen Nong, who had used Xingji's most considerate home robot, had to admit that this guy was the most considerate he had ever seen. Those intelligent robots were completely incomparable.
even…
Shen Nong looked at Ze who was wiping his wrist, and traced the curve of his handsome and tall face with his eyes. He cared about him even more than anyone else around him.
Including Master.
Shen Nong has known since childhood that a person would not be nice to another person for no reason. It is either because of feelings or because of something he or she wants.
Even if he was a fool, he could see that Ze cared about him very much and was very good to him. His care was different from that of Hu Xiao and the others, and it was a bit like his master, but also a little different.
The master is kind to him and cares about him. He has affection and kinship with him.
So, Ze treats him like this, also out of affection?
Family love doesn’t seem like that, it’s… love?
Shen Nong couldn't put it into words, it felt very strange.
To be honest, he doesn't understand love.
In the interstellar space, the things he comes into contact with most every day are books, plants, his master and colleagues. His days are very fulfilling and he has no time to think about other things.
Moreover, he is still young and his master is very strict with him and does not allow him to do anything wrong.
But no matter how much I don't understand, I know that love has desire. Shen Nong is sure that Ze has no desire for him.
Shen Nong thought a lot in a short period of time. Every detail from the first time they met to the present was played in his mind like a movie.
Thinking back to the end, Shen Nong looked at Ze with a dull look in his eyes. He thought about it and saw how considerate and attentive Ze was... He usually respected him...
Could it be that this kid is treating him like his father?
The more Shen Nong thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. The master treated him as his son, and it was a family love. But he felt that Ze and the master treated him a little similarly, but also different, because Ze treated him as his father!
If the status is reversed, things will definitely be different!
Ze didn't know what Shen Nong was thinking. After wiping Shen Nong's wrist, he stood back beside Shen Nong. Shen Nong glanced at him, but didn't see Ze's face, but saw Ze's perfect chest muscles.
Shen Nong's face turned red unconsciously, and the things he had been thinking about for a long time were replaced by Ze's powerful and beautiful figure. He controlled his tone and said in a serious tone: "Although the clothes were dirty before and couldn't be worn, it is still cool in the spring evenings. Remember to find a clean one to wear later."
He remained silent for a moment. In fact, he not only did not feel cold, but he even felt hot. But he did not want to worry the priest, so he suppressed the discomfort in his body and nodded in agreement.
Baoqiu and Langyu, as the captain and deputy captain of the caravan, also entered the cave and stood aside to listen to their conversation.
The scene of Ze pulling Yu Ji's hand away and taking out a fur towel to wipe Shen Nong's wrist fell into Lang Yu's eyes. This scene made Lang Yu's body tremble.
Hey!
He was certain that the priest and Ze had a relationship of drilling caves!
Because of the influence of beast blood, orcs have a certain sense of territory. The stronger the orc, the stronger the sense of territory.
Therefore, while the orcs were drilling in the cave, no orc could tolerate being touched by another orc.
Ze is the most powerful orc in the Mu tribe, so he has a strong sense of territory. Not only does he not allow people to touch him, but he also has to wipe it clean if he touches it.
Lang Yu, who didn't know that Shen Nong had mysophobia, thought so.
