"Yes, he's almost a year old." Leng Ran didn't hide anything from Achen.
Ah Chen is a tiger beastman, but he was abandoned when he was a child, or rather, he was deliberately abandoned by people.
Because A-Chen was later recognized and taken back, even though Leng Ran was not yet an adult at that time.
"Didn't you go back to the tribe? But you don't look well at all." Leng Ran looked at A Chen's face, which was sallow and yellow, clearly indicating that he hadn't been eating properly.
"Don't even mention it. That tribe isn't a tribe at all. It's much more comfortable to live with you guys." Ah Chen said, looking speechless and helpless.
"What exactly happened?" Leng Ran and A Chen sat on the grass, listening to him slowly explain.
"Our tribe is not a large tribe at all. It was occupied by the Black Bear tribe and only some old people and children were left behind."
The Black Bear tribe was unwilling to accept cubs and elders. Most of the adult beastmen had been killed, and the females had been taken away. There were no more young females left, only a bunch of tiger cubs.
My father was said to be the chieftain, but whether he was or not, there's no way to verify it now, and it doesn't matter anymore. After I returned to the tribe, I fled with a group of tiger cubs. We had no territory, and we were in a terrible state.
Later, they seized a barren land unclaimed by their own people, barely surviving on small prey.
After finishing speaking, Ah Chen continued, "This year, we ran out of salt to eat, so we couldn't come to the Exchange Day. But even so, I'm the only adult orc in our tribe. The others are all children and a few old orcs. They didn't come; I came alone."
"It must have been really tough on you." The reason Leng Ran was able to be friends with A Chen was because this tiger beastman was kind. If he wasn't kind, he wouldn't have been fooled into going back. Even if he had been fooled, he would have left when he saw his people.
But Ah Chen didn't, which shows that he has a sense of responsibility.
Others might think he's overly kind, but it's precisely because of his personality that Leng Ran became his friend.
"That's right. I originally wanted to just leave, but when I saw those kids looking at me so pitifully, I couldn't bear it. It kept reminding me of when we were kids and had nothing to eat. Sigh!"
The two continued chatting, while Xie Yungui already had an idea in mind.
"System! Investigate this beastman A-Chen for me," Xie Yungui said in his mind.
"Yes, Master, please wait a moment!"
"Master, we've found out. This Achen is a tiger beastman, and he's been an adult for two years. He's the illegitimate son of the chief of the tiger tribe. Because the chief's partner knew that the chief had slept with another female, and that female was pregnant and gave birth to Achen, she secretly abandoned Achen behind the chief's back and that female's back."
Later, their Tiger Clan tribe was invaded by the Black Bear Clan, and then an old beastman who knew about this matter found Ah Chen.
So, Ah Chen is a bitter gourd; he didn't get any benefits, but he had a lot of burdens.
However, this orc is very upright and kind-hearted.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now!" Xie Yun made a decision.
"OK!."
"Since that's the case, then Chief Achen, would you be willing to come to our tribe?" Xie Yungui's voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
Xie Yungui wasn't intentionally eavesdropping; their voices were quite loud, and they weren't trying to hide from him. Besides, the main reason Xie Yungui was interested in Achen's tribe was because they were all tigers.
Tigers are very powerful fighters. They were just unlucky and their territory was invaded. But when their cubs grow up, they will also be a fighting force.
"What did you say?" Ah Chen didn't react for a moment.
"I'm saying, if you don't mind, you can join our tribe, but you can't become the chieftain, because the chieftain of our Wangshan tribe is me, and the deputy chieftain is Leng Ran." After Xie Yungui finished speaking, he walked over and sat down with them.
Ah Chen looked at Leng Ran in disbelief, because he thought this female was too beautiful. Was she really the clan leader?
"Agui is right. In our Wangshan tribe, Agui is in charge. But if things are really tough on your end, why not join our tribe? Everyone here is an old friend," Leng Ran said.
"Is it really possible? If so, I'm willing. Our tribe is having such a hard time. I'm worried we won't make it through the snow season." After Ah Chen finished speaking, his face turned grim.
"How many people are in your tribe?" Xie Yungui asked.
"Our tribe has very few people, only sixty-four: four old orcs and fifty-nine cubs. Thirty-two of the cubs are already over three years old, and the remaining cubs are only two years old, which is the age when they can't do anything." After Achen finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.
"It's alright. The little guy is over three years old, he can transform into human form and can help out. Besides, our tribe isn't as strict as you think." Xie Yungui liked the little guys; those raised from a young age were more loyal. He was a little worried about the adult slaves.
But Leng Ran said it was fine, he would suppress it. No matter what, having free clansmen was Leng Ran's good friend, so he would definitely try his best to win them over.
"If you don't mind, I'm willing to go. It's better than starving to death during the snow season." Ah Chen naturally believed Leng Ran.
"Don't worry, we won't starve to death. We have plenty of children in our tribe," Xie Yungui said with a smile.
"Then it's settled. When we leave, we'll go to your tribe and pick up your people!" Leng Ran said.
"Okay, thank you, Leng Ran!"
"There's no need for thanks. Amon and the others are here, would you like to chat with them?"
"Great, it's been so long, I've missed them." Then Achen and Leng Ran went into the tent.
Amon and the others were happy to see Achen, and the group chatted together, while Xie Yungui sat to the side, listening to their conversation.
Seeing how happy they were talking, Xie Yungui knew that Achen was usually quite popular.
"Achen, where is your stall? Since you're joining our tribe, why don't you stay with us?" Amon said.
"Hey, I don't have a stall. I'm all alone, just here to exchange some animal hides for salt," Ah Chen said, scratching his head sheepishly.
"It's alright, come and stay with us, at least we can look out for each other," Xie Yungui said.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you, Chief Agui, and Leng Ran!"
"You're welcome." Leng Ran patted Achen on the shoulder, and then Achen left.
A little while later, Ah Chen came over carrying a basket containing some animal hides. He was really quite poor!
