Chapter 228 Abnormality
"Hasn't it been drawn yet? It's been so long. I see your tribe isn't very big. Is this map so difficult to draw?"
"How about you draw some important storage locations for me..."
Then, Adie's low voice was heard.
"I see."
Ah Zi's heart sank suddenly and she couldn't help but clench the basket in her hand.
She didn't quite understand what the orc said, but she felt it was not a good thing.
Thinking of A Ling's words, she couldn't help but knock on the door, and the voices inside stopped immediately.
"Who is it?" Adie asked nervously.
"Adie, it's me." A Zi responded softly, "I came to bring you something."
After dozens of seconds, the door was opened, revealing Adie's pale and nervous face.
The door was half-open. Ah Zi leaned over to look inside, but Ah Die blocked her view calmly.
Ah Zi's heart sank even more, and she felt a little disappointed.
Perhaps her expression was too obvious. Adie looked guilty and reluctant, but she still opened the door to let A Zi in.
Ah Zi was visibly happy.
After Adie closed the door, A Zi looked around the room quickly, but didn't find anything unusual.
So she had no choice but to put down the basket and take out the fresh purslane grass and hawthorn.
When Adie saw these two things, her expression changed immediately.
"Where did this come from?"
Ah Zi replied with a smile, "A Ling gave it to us."
Ah Zi separated some of the fresh purslane grass and said, "This is for you. Cook it as soon as possible, otherwise the medicinal effect will be lost over time. Otherwise, I will cook it here now, so that I don't have to do it again when I go back..."
"I don't need it!" Adie screamed!
Ah Zi paused and looked at her in surprise, "Adie, what's wrong with you?"
Adie clenched her fists and tried her best to hide her gaffe. She spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Azi, take all these things away, I don't need them."
Ah Zi was somewhat saddened by Ah Die's attitude. She quietly packed her things and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Ah Die's pupils suddenly shrank: "Why did you come out?"
Ah Zi looked at the strange orc in front of her in astonishment.
The orc was tall and handsome, and his clothes were unfamiliar, but it was obvious at first glance that he was not from their tribe, nor was he a stray orc.
She suddenly remembered the Stone Vein tribe that had passed by their tribe not long ago.
She was shocked and said, "You are a stone vein..."
However, before she could finish her words, the orc reached out and grabbed her neck fiercely, and A Zi almost fainted!
Ah Die ran over and frantically pulled his hands away, "What are you doing?!"
The orc looked at Adie coldly, but his tone was unexpectedly gentle.
"Adie, she already knew I was here."
Ah Die shook her head in panic, "Impossible, how could she know?"
The orc asked back, "Why else would she send you horsetooth fresh grass and hawthorn? This vicious female knew you were pregnant, and she didn't want you to give birth to a cub!"
The orc's devilish voice rang in Adie's ears.
Adie stared at A Zi's struggling breathing, and slowly let go of the orc's hand.
Seeing this, the orc showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Adie, she already knows about my existence, so I can't keep her here any longer!"
The orc increased his strength, and Ah Zi's flushed face completely lost its color. She looked at Ah Zi quietly, tears streaming from her eyes.
Then he closed his eyes, losing the last of his strength.
Adie took a step back and slowly collapsed to the ground. Looking at A Zi lying on the ground, she crawled over tremblingly. After finding that A Zi was really dead, she covered her face and cried in despair.
The orc looked down at the female's grief, his eyes full of impatience.
He didn't want to kill anyone at this critical moment, but the female's movements were too slow and he had no patience left.
Xingmiao half-knelt down, gently picked up Adie and put her on the bed.
"Adie, don't cry, I will feel bad."
Ah Die grabbed his sleeve tightly, tears streaming down her face, "Why, why did you want to kill Ah Zi, why?"
The orc explained in a gentle voice, "Because she discovered my existence, and because she forced you to drink horsetooth fresh grass, this female has bad intentions. I can't let her stay with you, Adie, I am your partner, I am the father of the cub, I will not harm you."
This sentence completely convinced Adie. She cried uncontrollably and gasped for breath.
She looked at the orc with hope in her tearful eyes.
"A Miao, when will you take me away? I can no longer stay in this tribe."
Xing Miao's eyes flickered. "Adie, this is what I want to tell you. As long as you draw all the maps of Fuxi to me, I will find a way to take you away immediately."
Ah Die choked up and shook her head, "Why do you want the map? What do you want to do? Can't you leave without the map?"
This was the first time that Adie had asked or even questioned Xingmiao in the more than one month since they had known each other.
Xing Miao obviously felt that his authority was challenged. He suppressed his impatience and dissatisfaction and continued to coax her.
"Adie, I told you that if I want to return to the tribe, I must have something that the Shimai people need. But we don't lack resources and food. We just want to know how the houses here were built and how the greenhouses were constructed, that's all!"
Xingmiao's eyes are so determined that it is easy to be convinced.
But in fact, his purpose...
Xingmiao will never forget the scene he saw when he was brought in through the hole in the broken wall by Adie.
Such neatly organized houses, greenhouses, planted fruits and vegetables, and winding paths are so magnificent, even more beautiful than the City of Beasts!
He was shocked when he saw it from the outside, but it was far less shocking than what he saw before him.
Adie believed Xingmiao's words. After all, it was he who saved her, and he was also the boy's father.
After figuring it out, Adie wiped away her tears and looked at A Zi's body with pain and regret, but she didn't have time to think too much at this moment.
"I will finish drawing the map tomorrow and try to leave tomorrow night."
Xing Miao's heart beat rapidly twice, and he said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
Adie almost didn't sleep all night. Her red and swollen eyes couldn't close at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with A Zi's painful struggle.
She got up from the bed and walked around the tribe.
She and A Zi both wandered here from other tribes. Their original tribes were invaded and the females were treated inhumanely. They couldn't stand it and fled here.
Fortunately, the Fuxi tribe took them in, and the two became familiar with each other and became friends. Until last month, she fell while picking fruit outside the tribe and was rescued by an orc.
From then on, this orc was the only one in her heart and eyes.
This was also the beginning of her sin.
After wandering around for the whole morning, she finally heard the third person asking her if she had seen A Zi.
She ran back home trembling, and drew the map in its entirety.
Adie handed the animal skin to Xingmiao in a panic.
She urged him with red eyes and trembling.
"A Miao, please leave quickly, take me away quickly, okay?"
Xingmiao didn't expect that Adie's movements would be so quick. He looked at the various positions marked on the animal skin with shining eyes, and a surge of excitement surged in his heart.
When he found Adie was packing her things, he hurried over to stop her.
"Adie, you can't leave now."
Adie paused, she could no longer conceal her inner fear, she threw all the things she had prepared to the ground and screamed uncontrollably.
"Why? Why can't you leave?"
Jingjing Xingmiao's heartbeat quickened. He was worried that the people of Fuxi tribe would find out something was wrong, so he stepped forward and comforted Adie in a gentle voice.
"Adie, listen to me calmly. You know how I got into the tribe. The broken wall on the west has been repaired by your people. Now... the only way for us to get out now is through the main gate..."
Xingmiao said a lot, but Adie seemed unable to listen.
She just didn't want to hear anyone asking her, saying the two words "A Zi", and she didn't want to stay in the room where A Zi died.
She covered her ears tightly and cried uncontrollably.
She begged again and again.
"A Miao, A Miao, please take me away from here quickly, I really can't stand it anymore, I'm going crazy.
Xingmiao hugged her tightly in his arms, "Yes, Adie, I will definitely take you out."
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on Adie's door.
Adie was so frightened that she trembled all over and subconsciously pushed Xingmiao away.
Xing Miao was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling down.
He looked at Adie angrily. Seeing her so frightened by a knock on the door, he despised her in his heart, but on the surface he still gently comforted Adie not to panic.
With his gentle words, Adie finally calmed down.
She motioned for Xingmiao to hide and then walked towards the door.
"Excuse me, who is it?" Ah Die slowly opened the door, and then her pupils trembled in shock.
The person who came was actually A Ling who was pregnant, followed by Mo Lin and an orc.
Adie's heart suddenly rose to her throat!
Did someone find out about her relationship with Xingmiao? Or did they know about Ah Zi's death?
Boom, boom, boom, Adie's heartbeat was like thunder and drums.
"A Ling, what's wrong with you guys?"
Ah Ling shook her head and smiled, "Nothing. I went to look for Ah Zi and found that she was not at home. The beastmen said that she did not go to the greenhouse today, so I came to ask you on the way."
Adie swallowed her saliva. Xingmiao had talked to her about this issue after A Zi's death, so she suppressed her nervousness and answered calmly.
"Azi told me that she was going to the jungle on the other side of the tribe to pick herbs, and she left very early."
A Zi would go to the jungle on the other side of the tribe every now and then, so the few people did not doubt her words.
But A Ling looked at A Die with concern, "I see you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
Ah Die's eyes wandered, "Maybe I didn't get enough rest recently, the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse are not growing well, so..."
"Then make sure you get some rest. You can't rush into things in the greenhouse."
Later, A Ling accidentally revealed to her that the tribesmen were planning to go out together this evening. The orcs would transplant fruit trees from the western forest to the tribe, and the females would go to the jungle to transplant herbal roots. They hoped that she could go with them.
After seeing Aling and the others off, Adie closed the door, leaned against it tremblingly, and slowly fell to the ground.
Her eyes were blank and empty. An uncontrollable coldness spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs, making her stiff and unable to move.
Xingmiao walked out of the room and saw Adie looking so cowardly, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Thinking of what he just heard, he slowed down his tone and said, "Adie, evening is a good time to leave. I will blend into the orc group at that time, and you stand beside me to cover me, and we will leave together."
Adie's blank gaze gradually moved to Xingmiao's face, and finally there was some light in her eyes.
She moved her lips twice, "Okay."
After A Ling left, her face immediately darkened.
She looked at the orcs behind her, "Did you find anything?"
Ever since A Zi left her yesterday, A Ling's heart has been pounding and she always feels like something is going to happen.
So she went to A Zi's house early in the morning, but there was no one in the house.
A Ling looked at the neatly folded bedding and suddenly had a bad feeling. She asked A Zi's neighbors, and they all said that they had not seen A Zi come back either.
At first, Aling didn't think of Adie until she had asked almost all the tribesmen and finally found Adie's home.
Coming with her were Mo Lin and a member of his clan.
He is a macaque orc, and he is well-known in the tribe for his insight and eyesight.
The orc squinted his eyes and recalled everything he had seen in the room.
"There are still people in her house."
Ah Ling: "Ah Zi?"
The orc shook his head decisively, "No, it's an orc."
A Ling and Mo Lin were both startled.
The beauty hidden in the golden house?
Thinking of Adie's reaction, this orc was most likely not from their tribe.
Ah Ling looked at Mo Lin's serious expression and said, "Ah Lin, tell Lang Yi and Xiong Mo about this first, don't alert them."
Before the arrival of the dark beast, there had been strange orcs coming to the tribe, but now the tribe is in a construction period, and Mu Qingqing and the others are not here, so they have to pay attention.
At this time, Adie had not thought that she had been targeted!
In the evening, everything happened just as Aling said. A large number of female orcs gathered together and prepared to go out.
The orcs were responsible for transplanting the fruit trees, while the females carefully removed the roots of the herbs.
And Xingmiao just blended in like this.
Since A Ling and the others were well prepared, several tribesmen discovered Xing Miao's presence at the first moment.
Xingmiao's abilities were among the best in the Shimai tribe, so when he sensed the gazes coming from his surroundings, he pulled out a gun from his hide without saying a word and pointed it at Adie's forehead.
The surrounding females were frightened by this scene and quickly retreated and dispersed.
"How is this going?"
"No, I don't think I've ever seen this orc before!"
"What does he want to do?"
Xingmiao's move caught several people off guard, and even Adie opened her eyes wide, obviously not yet able to recover.
The dark muzzle of the gun made her scream in fear: "A Miao?"
Xing Miao glanced at the crowd around him with his vicious eyes and growled.
"Do not talk."
Just when A Ling lost her patience and wanted to step forward, Leopard Sel appeared with a sullen face.
"Xingmiao, what do you want to do?"
