"Dubi’s house?" the female orc’s face was full of disbelief.
"How could Dubi have a house?"
Aunt Naima smiled and blinked, "Dubi joined our tribe along with other small tribes of the Eneru Forest, and he also helped everyone build houses.
According to the tribe’s rules, each orc family that builds a house gets a courtyard like this one.
Moreover, if there is only one orc, they have to do even more work building the house, so this house is rightfully Dubi’s. After he fell into the Eneru River, it has been empty; now that you are here, it’s perfect for you to tidy up."
Not knowing the house was hers, the female orc only felt envy, but now knowing it was her own ho, she inexplicably felt her eyes heating up.
Looking at Grandma who was still feeding the little cub stead eggs, she suddenly wished that Dubi could also be with her and their cub, living happily in this beautiful house.
Biting her lip, she looked at Aunt Naima, "Grandma, could the orc who saved convey to Dubi that the small cub and I are alive? He must know by now that we were thrown into the mud hole, and must be so worried, I’m afraid he might do sothing dangerous."
Aunt Naima placed the now empty bowl on a nearby table and wiped the little cub’s mouth clean with a fresh cotton cloth, then turned to the female orc.
"Don’t worry about this. The very orc who went to find Dubi was the one who coincidentally saved you guys. He left after lunch today; just relax and stay here with the little cub."
The female orc nodded vigorously, "Yes, thank you, Grandma."
Aunt Naima smiled, "I’m called Naima, you can call Aunt Naima from now on. What’s your na?"
The female wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, revealing a set of small white teeth, "I’m called Chang Zao."
"Chang Zao?" Aunt Naima looked at her with surprise. "Is that like the grass that grows by the river?"
Chang Zao nodded. "Yes, because where we co from, Chang Zao is everywhere."
Aunt Naima didn’t ask further, just nodded.
"Aunt Naima?" Suddenly, a voice called from outside the door.
Aunt Naima and Chang Zao looked at each other and smiled, then she gestured towards the little cub, "Co out and take a walk with the little cub, it should be the tribe’s female orcs and orcs bringing you food."
Chang Zao felt a bit embarrassed, "But I haven’t done anything..."
Aunt Naima tapped her on the arm, "Co on, go out and see. These items are what the tribe promises to allocate to every new tribal mber; it’s just that Dubi hadn’t claid them yet. Now that there’s one female and one little cub who can’t claim them, everyone just brought them over to you."
Chang Zao felt she had wanted to cry more and more since waking up.
In the courtyard, the tribe’s orcs responsible for distributing food and items were either holding or carrying many, many things.
After Aunt Naima ca out, they finally saw the new female orc—she was thin, with arms and legs peeking out from her Beast Skin clothes barely having any flesh.
In her arms, the little cub, unlike the chubby cubs of the tribe, was a thin and small bundle, quietly staying in the arms of his own Amu, curiously watching them.
