The Orc scratched the back of his head, his square-faced adorned with a very naive smile, "No need to bother, Uncle GeXing, we still need to go hunting, otherwise the tribe will starve today."
Ge Xing’s eyes lit up, and he replied with a brilliant smile, "Well then, of course food is more important. When there’s free ti, invite your father to visit our tribe. I’ll treat him to so delicious ’food’!"
If that daft bear dares to co, I’ll beat him until he won’t even recognize his own father.
The Orc nodded his head, turned around and led a group of tribespeople towards the distant forest.
"What are you all smiling about? Get to work, you slack off every ti there is an animal around." Chief Ge Xing turned around and looked at the Orcs surrounding him, instantly putting away the smile on his face, and spoke sternly.
These naughty youngsters always want to see him make a fool of himself.

Ji Nuan shook his head, finding it amusing. He rode on his little Moumou towards his own tent. Ji Nuan’s little Moumou is a purebred Green Bull Beast. The tribe was amazed to see how well-behaved Moumou was.
Is this obedient creature that follows Ji Nuan around, often laden with stuff, really the Green Bull Beast that can puncture an Orc’s stomach with its sharp horns?
Ji Nuan’s successful breeding of little Moumou brought hope and reference to the tribespeople for their own animal husbandry.
"Nuannuan, I hunted a Green Bull Beast." Xiu Yan’s voice called from outside the tent. Ji Nuan placed the kneaded dough in a pottery bowl and walked out of the tent, pushing aside the beast skin curtain.
"How was today’s hunt?" He passed over a piece of clean, wet beast skin.
Xiu Yan took the beast skin and used it to wipe his sweat, pointing at the skinned and de-boned Green Bull Beast. "Not bad, I hunted two Green Bull Beasts. Everyone else also had a catch, I brought back half of the Green Bull, the rest I left for the others in the tribe."
Due to the construction of walls and houses, the Watson tribe had reverted to the collective hunting practices of yore. They hunted together and shared their food.
Ji Nuan smiled, "Let’s make beef noodles for dinner, I’ve kneaded the dough, perfect for making noodles."
Xiu Yan’s eyes lit up and he picked up the Green Bull Beast at at his feet, "I’ll go wash it by the river, and when I return I’ll cut it into pieces."
Ji Nuan nodded, originally the stone knife was heavy, and every ti she cut at with it, she felt a burning pain in her palm. Ever since Xiu Yan saw her hissing in pain, he did not allow her to cut at with a stone knife anymore.
After the rainy season passed, Ji Nuan had set up a simple stove outdoors. They placed the pot on the stove, added water and waited for Xiu Yan to cut the processed Green Bull Beast at into pieces and added it to the water, blanching it and then putting it into a bowl.
They cut the prepared spice fruit into small pieces, added them to the heated oil in the pan, stirring it until fragrant, then added the blanched at and continued to fry. The spicy and unique sll spread around, causing defensive swallowing sounds from the people nearby.
After the at was almost cooked, they scooped it into a bowl and washed the pot, then heated water in it. When the water boiled, they added the handmade noodles. After the contents boiled for a while, they added the previously cooked at back into the pot, added so sour fruit and salt, and a pot of delicious, aromatic noodles was ready.
Xiu Yan had been squatting on one side with two bowls in anticipation, salivating heavily. Seeing Ji Nuan’s signal that it was ready, he quickly walked over to the stove, took off the pot and placed it on the side table.
First, he served a bowl of noodles for Ji Nuan, before filling a full bowl for himself and sitting on a nearby stone, slurping the noodles.
