Traveling through the world of beasts: I lead the system to build an empire - Chapter 686 Tips
After talking about the important matters concerning the tribe, the young chief calmed down his complicated heart and finally remembered that there was one more thing.
He heard that this adult named Gu Pan seemed to care a lot about the cubs in the tribe.
Few orcs would care about other people's cubs. Even if they are stray beasts, they rarely have the heart to kill or eat the cubs.
So Gu Pan’s behavior seemed very strange to the patriarch.
The atmosphere in their tribe is relatively harmonious. With the soft-hearted chief taking the lead, the tribesmen are quite caring towards Rouman, the orphan.
This can be seen from the fact that the cubs took Rouman out to play, and that Rouman did not starve to death during the tribe's food shortage last winter.
Although they were skin and bones and looked much worse than the other cubs, in that year when adults would starve to death, who wouldn't want to protect their own children when there was food?
The fact that he had enough meat to eat and didn't starve to death was enough to prove that the tribe took good care of him.
The facts were there, and Gu Panruohui saw them clearly.
Therefore, the two of them discussed it in the morning and decided to do their best to help the tribe.
On the matter of the cubs, the young chief rarely beat around the bush, "We were in a hurry yesterday. I wonder what the three adults are doing in our tribe?"
The young patriarch didn't believe that they were just stopping by temporarily.
There are many tribes gathered in the East Continent, and there are also many tribes near their tribe, all of which are in better conditions than theirs. It doesn't make sense for them to settle down in a place with better conditions instead of the worst.
Ultimately it was his fault. He was still young and full of passion, and he always felt that he had the ability to make life better for his fellow tribesmen.
It is also because we are young, not cruel enough, and do not know how to make choices.
When food is scarce, we always think about not giving up on any member of the tribe. If everyone eats less, everyone can survive.
However, doing so did reduce the number of people who starved to death, but the consequence was that everyone in the tribe was starving, and some of the young and strong people have not yet recovered to their peak condition, and their hunting was restricted.
Compared with the nearby tribes that decisively abandoned the elderly and the weak and have now returned to normal life, their tribe is really miserable.
No matter how you look at it, it is not a good choice to stay and rest.
Therefore, Gu Panruohui must have had some ulterior motive when he settled in their tribe.
But what do they want?
Are they because they are so poor? Are they because of their crooked and dilapidated houses that cannot withstand the wind and rain?
After finishing what Mu Yang asked them to do, they finally got to the point. Gu Panruohui rubbed his hands excitedly.
Compared with Ruohui, Gu Pan is more approachable both in rank and appearance, so Ruohui wisely shut up and still let Gu Pan charge into battle.
"We came here to adopt a kid."
Knowing that there is no such word as adoption outside, Gu Pan explained, "It means finding a cub to take away, to live and eat with us, and we will raise him."
The patriarch understood.
This kind of situation has happened before in the tribe.
Some older single males cannot find females and feel too lonely. If there happen to be orphaned cubs in the tribe, they will take the cubs in and raise them.
The patriarch will not only not stop such behavior, but will support it.
All the orcs have to take care of the orc cubs, and each of them has to contribute some food to raise them.
The mortality rate in the animal world is high, and it is not uncommon for cubs to lose both their father and their mother at the same time. There are many such cubs.
Having so many cubs to raise is a huge burden for the tribe.
The tribe leader was very happy that the child was taken away by an individual to be raised and did not need to be taken care of by the tribe.
Kepan was raised by a single male.
But in the past, such situations only occurred within the tribe. There had never been a case of outsiders taking cubs away, let alone taking away cubs with parents.
Because no parents would abandon their cubs unless they really couldn't survive.
So when Gu Pan mentioned this, the first person the young clan leader thought of was Rouman.
Because Rouman was the only one in the tribe who lost both his parents, the tribe had been raising him for more than a year.
As expected, Gu Pan immediately said, "We want to take Rouman away."
"I've asked around too. Rouman's parents are both dead. He's now being taken care of by the tribe. I want to adopt him."
The young patriarch looked embarrassed.
He had been very kind to Rouman and never thought of giving up on him even when the Hanji tribe was in the most difficult time.
If this happened in other tribes, they would have just left it alone long ago.
But Rouman has no parents and the clan leader has no female, so he often goes to visit Rouman, and the cub is usually very close to him.
In Han Ji, the clan leader saved his own food rations to raise Rouman, so he was no different from his own son.
The clan leader knew that Gu Panruohui was a high-level orc with great strength and meat, and that he would definitely not go hungry if he lived with them.
But after all, there has never been a precedent of sending a cub to be raised outside, let alone a strange high-level orc from outside, so the patriarch was unsure.
This man was unfamiliar with the place, and even if Rouman was bullied, he could not return to the tribe to seek shelter. Even if he returned, the tribe would not be able to support him.
Sensing the chief's concerns, Gu Pan said, "I know we are outsiders. You are a responsible chief. You may be worried about us taking the child away like this."
When the young chief heard the high-ranking orcs say that he was responsible and a good chief, he straightened his back.
Gu Pan secretly laughed at him in his heart because he was young and was coaxed into submission with just a few words, but he did not show it on his face at all.
"Don't worry, we are not liars. I can tell you where our home is. You are welcome to come and see how the cub is doing anytime you are free."
He took out a pen and paper, wrote down his home address on the paper and handed it to the patriarch.
The patriarch stared at the Chinese characters on the white paper, reading them forwards and backwards, but couldn't make sense of them.
The witch doctor beside him was horrified, "Is this not text?!"
Although it is different from the characters he learned, if it is written on something and can record information, then what else can it be but characters?
Meeting the witch doctor's shining eyes, Gu Pan and Ruohui looked a little unnatural when they heard what he said.
"It is written, but we are not very knowledgeable and don't understand much."
Gu Pan, who is in the fourth grade in six years, and Ruohui, who is just in the second grade, laughed awkwardly.
But their answer, in the eyes of the tribe leader and witch doctor, was a sign of humility.
The witch doctor was surprised, but there was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes.
He said that as soon as he came back, the young people in the tribe pestered him to go to school and learn to read and write. He scolded them, saying that they were desecrating precious knowledge.
The kids were all crying.
It seems that in that Shenqi country, everyone really goes to school.
The witch doctor's originally determined heart suddenly wavered.
For a moment, he even thought that since Gu Panruohui adopted him, could he also learn to read?
He had been a witch doctor for most of his life before he was finally recognized by the Great Witch and was able to learn a few characters. But the people of Shenqi Country can learn characters as soon as they are born.
In the Shenqi country, isn't it true that everyone is a wise man?
Ignoring the storm these words stirred up in the witch doctor chief's heart, and ignoring the two people's ever-changing expressions, Gu Pan asked the escort to take out the file bag that had been prepared long ago from the space.
Shenqi has many families that want to adopt children, and the relevant review is very strict. Gu Panruohui has made a lot of preparations for this.
But among those families, there are many highly educated families, many high-income families, and even a few couples with both five stripes.
In comparison, Gu Panruohui has no competitiveness.
He opened the file bag and spread out the documents inside one by one, and Gu Pan talked about them one by one.
"Here are our ID cards, household registration books, marriage certificates, property certificates, and work permits."
The certificates with photos on them were placed in front of the chief. The lifelike photos scared the chief and the witch doctor so much that they suspected that the souls of the two were sealed inside.
"Don't be afraid, this is a photo, printed on it."
The tribe leader and witch doctor didn't understand, but were greatly shocked.
Gu Pan then introduced himself, "I work in the police station, and Ruohui works in the city defense department. The income is not very high, but it is stable."
"Ruohui has a hunter's license. He occasionally kills giant beasts during his holidays to supplement his family income, so he lives a relatively affluent life."
Gu Pan had already mentioned these once during the interview at the welfare home, so he was quite familiar with them.
"The child's education fund has been saved. Whether he likes to study or not, the money is enough for him to go to college. You don't have to worry about it."
"Neither of us has a high level of education, so we don't require Rouman to be outstanding. As long as he likes him, that's enough."
"There are also health examination reports, psychological examination reports, property lists, etc. If you want to know more, I can read them to you."
As Gu Pan spoke, he took out handwritten documents one by one.
"We have made all the preparations, and the children's rooms are ready, so there is no need to worry about having nowhere to stay."
"I will take the child to register as a resident when he arrives home. Ruohui and I will also make a will. When we die, our property will all be his. If anything unexpected happens, the state will take over the guardianship of Rouman, and Rouman will have enough money to rely on himself."
"What aspect do you want to focus on? I'll read it to you."
Gu Pan kept a very humble attitude. After all, he was the powerful patriarch of the clan, and his opinion was still very important.
If the clan leader insisted on not releasing the person, it would be difficult for Gu Panruohui, a law-abiding citizen, to rob him.
At this moment, the patriarch was staring at those documents in a trance.
In the eyes of this illiterate man, those Chinese characters written neatly in the grid looked like little bugs crawling, making him dizzy.
Gu Pan mumbled a lot of things in his ear, but he didn't understand anything else. He only heard one word: "behemoth".
They are both capable of killing giant beasts.
Able to kill giant beasts = strong = no shortage of food and drink = can’t be provoked.
And he, a young three-striped beast, has a bunch of old, weak and sick people under his command. The two sides are not in the same league at all.
So the patriarch, who had sorted out the relationships between the characters, suddenly became restrained.
"Haha, well, whether to adopt or not, as long as the adults are happy, it's fine with me. It's all fine with me."
It can be said that it is very sincere.
No matter what the patriarch misunderstood, his words meant that he would not stop it.
This is enough.
"Then let's go ask Rouman for his opinion?" Gu Pan suggested.
"Anything is fine, everything is fine."
The clan leader thought to himself, how could I not be able to do so?
Seeing that the matter was half done, except for Rouman's nod, Gu Panruohui clenched his hands excitedly.
Things were going well and Gu Pan was in a good mood. He was happy to help this poor tribe change their fate. After all, this was where Ruohui was born.
Seeing that no one on either side spoke and the atmosphere gradually became silent, Gu Pan carefully spoke, "Patriarch, I have a suggestion, just a suggestion."
"You say what you want." The patriarch had no objection.
"Since it's difficult to live here, why don't you consider moving to another place?"
"I can't guarantee other places, but in our Shenqi Country, as long as you are willing to work hard, it will be no problem to fill your stomach."
When he heard that it could fill his stomach, the tribe leader and witch doctor's eyes suddenly lit up.
It’s good to fill their stomachs. Their primary dream is to prevent people from dying in the cold season, and their ultimate dream is to fill their stomachs.
The young patriarch had a dream of having enough food to eat all year round since he was young, but it had never come true.
It's good to be able to fill your stomach by being hardworking. His tribesmen are all hardworking and will definitely be able to eat their fill.
But when he thought of the temple's regulations that the tribe needs to pay the temple's beast crystals for large-scale migration, the patriarch's blood instantly subsided.
They don't have enough beast crystals.
The only beast crystal in his hand was given to him by Ruohui yesterday.
The tribe leader managed to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, "But the tribe hastily migrated..."
"The fake temples are gone, and those rules no longer exist. The gods don't care about migration."
Yup!
Gu Pan's words served as a reminder to the patriarch.
The temple is gone, but does that mean we no longer have to follow the temple’s rules?
In fact, the young patriarch had no favorable feelings towards the temple at all.
Originally, the Beast God respected the temple, but after Rose stole food, the tribe leader lost interest in the temple.
You can hit me and scold me, but you can't take my food away.
The hatred for food is irreconcilable.
Seeing the tribe leader and the witch doctor so excited, Gu Pan felt a little embarrassed to dampen his enthusiasm, but he still had to explain the situation.
"It's just that it's not as easy to become a resident of Shenqi Country as before. I don't know the details, but it seems that you need skills and a clean record for a few years."
The patriarch's mouth twitched.
technology?
Not to mention him, their entire tribe doesn't have any technical skills.
The patriarch's mood suddenly fluctuated greatly and he was tired.
Tired.
The chief was tired, but the witch doctor did not give up.
His dream is to learn precious characters and go to Shenqi Country to make a living, maybe he will have a chance to learn characters.
Even if he couldn't go to school, looking at Gu Panruohui's attitude towards writing and the fact that they said every orc had to go to school, the witch doctor estimated that this kind of writing might be everywhere in the Shenqi Kingdom.
If he can’t go to school, can’t he learn secretly?
Just let him take a look, just take a look.
If he could learn a little bit, he would die without regrets.
Ruohui was kindhearted and came over to give them some advice, "But it's still possible to find a place to stay nearby first. Living outside and working in the city can save a lot of money."
"Or maybe we can just live outside the city for a long time. When the surrounding areas are built up in two years, the places close to the city won't be far behind."
This time, before the chief even nodded, the witch doctor agreed first.
They have no knowledge and no ideas, but they listen to advice.
He would be happy to listen if someone gave him advice.
The witch doctor's eyes lit up.
Shenqi Country, words, here I come!
