Chapter 227 Where is he?
His behavior, appearance, height and manners were exactly the same as Mo Xiao, but Mu Qingqing's blood was screaming: This is not Mo Xiao!
Seeing Mu Qingqing standing there in a daze, 'Mo Xiao' took a step forward and hugged her in his arms.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze?"
Even the voice is exactly the same as Mo Xiao's.
The only thing missing is that familiar and unique cold fragrance.
Although Mu Qingqing and Mo Xiao had not gone through those three to five years or even ten years of getting along with each other, their aura and feelings for each other had already penetrated deep into their bones.
Therefore, Mu Qingqing became even more certain that the orc in front of her was not the Mo Xiao whom she deeply loved.
"Why aren't you talking? Qingqing, what are you thinking about?"
Mo Xiao's voice, as clear as water, came from above his head.
After just a few seconds of thinking, Mu Qingqing forced a smile.
"What do you think? You left me here alone for so long before coming here. I thought something happened to you."
Mu Qingqing's tone was filled with complaints and coquettishness, and it also revealed a heart-melting intimacy.
The orc hugging her breathed a sigh of relief without making any sound, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.
Mu Qingqing suddenly pushed the orc away with force. The orc's heart, which had just relaxed, became tense again. He looked at Mu Qingqing nervously, thinking that he had been exposed.
But Mu Qingqing just looked angry.
"Why are you using so much strength? Be careful not to hurt the baby in your belly. I will be the one suffering then."
When talking about the baby in her belly, Mo Xiao's eyebrows immediately became gentle.
"Yes, it's my fault for being too careless."
'Mo Xiao' carefully helped Mu Qingqing sit on the bed. Mu Qingqing stared into his eyes with a longing and affectionate look.
"Have you finished your business?"
"Mo Xiao" hummed vaguely.
"Not yet. It will take a few days."
Mu Qingqing pouted in dissatisfaction and asked a question that the orc had expected: "What are you busy with? Why doesn't the Blue Priest want to tell me?"
"Something happened to the tribesmen by the river, and I have to go take a look. Although I don't care much about them, there are females among them who will help you give birth smoothly in the future, so I have to go..."
Hearing this answer, Mu Qingqing lowered her head, a sneer rising in her heart. Very good, this answer is very Mo Xiao.
Afterwards, Mu Qingqing asked a few more questions, such as whether they said goodbye to Mo Lin and the others when they left, and when they would return.
Mo Xiao's answer didn't sound flawless at all.
The only flaw was that he always kept a certain distance from Mu Qingqing.
"I'm leaving now. Qingqing, you should stay here and take good care of your baby. Try not to go out. The air outside is not good for your health."
Mu Qingqing was reluctant to leave and held his hand tightly, not letting go. Her mind and eyes were filled with the figure of "Mo Xiao".
"Then you should come to see me when you have time."
"it is good."
After receiving a positive answer, Mu Qingqing let go of her hand.
After 'Mo Xiao' left, Mu Qingqing seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength. She collapsed on the table, her face pale, and she bent over and began to retch.
But she hadn't eaten much to begin with, so she couldn't vomit anything.
Her face flushed red, and she wiped the place on her face where the orc had kissed her with such force that the veins on her neck could be seen.
Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes.
It's the physiological tears caused by retching, but also anger and anxiety.
Just now, when she realized that the orc in front of her was not Mo Xiao, a strong impulse stimulated her to almost take out a gun from the space and point it at the orc's temple.
Then she would loudly ask him who he was and why he pretended to be Mo Xiao.
She almost couldn't cooperate with such despicable means and poor acting!
However, the sound of heartbeat from her abdomen gradually brought her back to her senses.
The fact that her Mo Xiao, such a powerful orc, could be impersonated by someone was enough to show that he was in a difficult situation now, so she must not be so impulsive.
During the conversation between the two, Mu Qingqing kept persuading herself and cooperating with the orc in acting.
Now, he finally left!
The noise in the house seemed to have attracted the attention of the two females guarding the door.
"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you? I heard you vomiting, are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Qingqing glanced at the closed door indifferently, cleared her throat and spoke loudly.
"I'm fine, I just yawned, you heard it wrong."
The voice outside paused and then stopped asking.
Mu Qingqing sat alone on the bed for a long time, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
It was inevitable that something would happen to Mo Xiao. Even if Mu Qingqing had a gun in her hand and could rush all the way to Lan, this could not guarantee Mo Xiao's safety.
What's more, there are so many kids here, if they get hurt by a misfire...
Mu Qingqing gently touched her belly. She was a person who firmly believed in karma. If she hurt an innocent person and was retaliated against by her unborn child, her heart would never be at peace.
So she suppressed the urge to take action and decided that it would not be too late to take action after she found Mo Xiao.
After Mu Qingqing figured it out, she no longer stayed in her little room all day, but went out to communicate with the female orcs around her.
Before nightfall, the cave gradually became quiet.
There can be no fire here, and all the light comes from the pearls hanging on the wall.
Therefore, the nights here are extremely dark, and you can't see your hand in front of you.
However, traces of human activity can still be seen.
Mu Qingqing carefully walked out of the door holding the pearl in her room. The light emitted by the pearl could clearly illuminate the food within five meters from her, as if opening a new path for her.
In fact, she could have waited until daytime to go out, but everything she had experienced today made it impossible for her to stay in the room with peace of mind. She was eager to get more information from the surrounding tribes.
The female guard woke up from her nap, saw Mu Qingqing's actions, and hurried over.
"Ah Qing, what are you doing? Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
At this moment, Mu Qingqing's face looked extremely pale under the light of the pearls. From a distance, she looked like a sinister and revengeful ghost from hell, extremely creepy.
The two young females were frightened and subconsciously took a step back.
"I can't sleep now, can't I go out for a walk?" Mu Qingqing's voice was calm and cold, and there was nothing unusual in it.
The two females looked embarrassed and looked at each other, then the older female nodded, "Okay, you can go shopping, but be careful not to bump into anyone."
Mu Qingqing silently pulled the corners of her mouth, then slowly walked towards the crowded area holding the pearl.
Every step seems so confusing yet so determined.
"Adie, what happened to you recently? You look so bad."
Once again discovering that Adie had mistakenly pulled up plants as weeds, A Zi finally couldn't help but stop and walked over.
She reluctantly picked up the plants on the ground and buried them in the soil again. "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and have a rest, or go see A Ling for a check-up."
Adie looked at her actions guiltily and said sorry with pale lips.
Seeing this, Ah Zi stood up and spoke in a softer tone.
"Adie, we are friends. If you have any troubles, you can tell me. I will definitely stand by you. Don't keep everything in your heart."
Looking at A Zi's sincere eyes, A Die mustered up the courage to open her mouth.
"Adie, I..."
"Azi, you are here. A Ling said she has something to talk to you about. Could you please come over?" An orc lifted the curtain at the exit of the greenhouse.
A Zi is very talented in studying medicine, so she has been studying with A Ling.
The reason why she was allowed to go over this time was probably because she had discovered new knowledge from the book, so she was allowed to go over and discuss it.
Hearing this, she raised her head and shouted to the orc: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
She turned her head to look at Adie, patted her shoulder soothingly, and spoke gently.
"Remember what I said, don't keep everything in your heart, it hurts me."
Adie looked at her back, her eyes full of fear.
She looked down at the plant she was holding tightly, and it had already been deformed and broken. Just like what she had done, there was no room for recovery.
"A Ling, what do you want to talk to me about?" A Zi knocked on the door. Seeing that A Ling noticed her, she quickly put the things in her hand on the table.
"Here are the sour grapes you like to eat. I just picked them. They are not ripe yet."
Ah Zi took out the washed grapes from the basket and placed them on a clean plate, muttering to herself.
"I don't know what your habit is. You don't like sweet grapes, but prefer these sour and astringent ones that are hard to swallow."
A Ling looked at her belly with a smile in her eyes.
"Ah Qing said that sour boys and spicy girls, I like sour food so much, and I don't know if I'm pregnant with a little orc."
A Zi rolled her eyes helplessly and handed the grapes to her.
Compared to Adie, she seems to have a closer relationship with A Ling, even though they have only known each other for a short time.
"It doesn't matter if he's an orc or a female, as long as the baby is born safely, it's best. Could it be that you prefer orcs to females, A Ling?"
Ah Ling sighed helplessly and retorted, "I don't. If it was a cute little female like Yu'er, I would naturally like her too."
Ah Zi laughed and joked.
"What if it's a little female like the Tiger Alliance? Would you like that too?"
A Ling was silent for a rare moment.
The little female in the Tiger Alliance was only five years old. She looked pretty, but she had a very fierce personality. She beat all the little orcs of the same age in the tribe, making them cry and go back to complain, which gave the Tiger Alliance a headache.
On the day when the dark beast appeared, the young female from the Tiger Alliance got a long sword from somewhere that was as tall as her. She rushed out with the sword in her arms. If she hadn't been discovered and stopped by the females in the tribe, who knows what the consequences would have been.
The Tiger Alliance not only reprimanded her harshly, but almost used physical force to educate her, but was stopped in the end.
Seeing Ah Ling being embarrassed, Ah Zi smiled secretly and sat beside her.
Touch her belly gently.
"How have you been these past few days? Can you eat?"
A Ling nodded, her eyes sparkling with stars.
"I feel energetic, eat a lot, and sleep well."
Ah Zi nodded, "That's good. By the way, what do you want to see me about?"
A Ling picked up the small basket she had placed aside, lifted the animal skin on it, and saw some fresh purslane grass and hawthorn inside.
Purslane grass is very rare and only grows during the short week at the end of winter and before the beginning of spring.
For unconjugated females, eating this plant will help their health and future reproduction.
Hawthorn is also one of the fruits that females like.
Mu Qingqing didn’t understand why anyone would like to eat hawthorn, so the tribe didn’t grow hawthorn in its greenhouses. Naturally, she also didn’t know that the hawthorn on the Orc Continent tasted different from the hawthorn she knew.
Sweet, with a refreshing sour taste and fragrance.
Ah Zi's eyes lit up and she couldn't let go of a red hawthorn.
"Is this for me? Did you pick it? When did you leave the tribe? How come I didn't know?"
A Zi blamed A Ling, her eyes full of disapproval.
A Ling knew that A Zi would say these words, so she quickly explained.
"It wasn't me. Xiong Mo and the others picked it. They accidentally brought it back when they were helping to pick herbs, so I asked them to go out again. But there weren't many left, so I left some for you."
Ah Zi felt relieved now.
She looked at the fresh purslane grass with regret, "If only you had found this fresh grass before you got pregnant, I wouldn't have to worry about you having trouble giving birth."
To a pregnant female, taking purslane is a deadly poison.
A Ling felt her kindness and smiled.
"Don't worry about me. Aqing left me some ginseng."
Ah Ling's smile faded a little, "I don't know where Mo Xiao took Ah Qing."
Ah Zi waved her hand nonchalantly, "The beast master will be fine."
After the two chatted briefly, A Zi happily prepared to leave with the basket.
"It's just right for me to share some with Ah Die. She also likes to eat hawthorn. By the way, I will urge her to cook the fresh purslane grass as well. This way, she will be more energetic."
When A Ling heard this, she frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
"Adie hasn't made the bond yet, right?"
Ah Zi looked at her strangely, "Don't you know that? Why are you asking?"
Although Adie and Aling's relationship was not as close as theirs, they would often meet and greet each other, and they knew each other a little, so A Zi didn't understand why Aling asked this.
"A Ling, do you know something?"
Ah Zi's eyes were shining with gossip, and she sat down next to Ah Ling.
"Tell me quickly, did you see Adie flirting with some orc?"
......
After A Zi left A Ling with the basket, she went straight to A Die's house.
It was dark at this time, and the busy female orcs returned to their homes one after another.
As the tribesmen's sense of independence grows, they can't wait to move in even though the facilities in the newly built houses are not very complete.
Adie's house is located in the corner of the tribe, a little distance away from the houses of other tribesmen.
If you don't come here on purpose, you will basically not pass by.
Adie's personality is not that cheerful, so living alone like this suits her very well.
Just as A Zi was holding the basket and preparing to knock on the door, she suddenly heard the voices of orcs coming from inside.
