It was unknown if Xin An had walked into the wrong path.

They didn't see any wild beasts as they walked.

"Do you want to change the route?" Seeing that Orlando didn't get anything after a long time, Xin An started to make suggestions.

She was really worried that if there really was nothing, wouldn't she become a sinner?

However, Orlando shook his head, "It's none of your business."

"But …"

"There aren't many prey here anyway." Orlando said.

Xin An looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"There aren't many wild animals in this area. Every time you hunt, you have to go deeper. " Orlando said.

Xin An was relieved when she heard him say that. It would be even better if it wasn't because of her.

The two of them didn't say anything.

Xin An lowered her head and started to look for possible herbs.

However, most of the weeds he encountered on the way were not of much use.

Xin An didn't give up and continued to search the area as she walked.

Unexpectedly, she really found an herb.

"Wait a minute!" Xin An shouted as she looked at Orlando, who was scouting ahead.

Orlando stopped.

Xin An lowered her head and carefully dug out a few stalks of grass with a branch.

Orlando looked at the ordinary grass in her hand and was confused, "These are all weeds, what's the use of them?"

However, Xin An shook her head and held it in her hands like a precious treasure, "Don't underestimate its appearance. This is called Earth Golden Grass, it has a very good hemostasis effect. "

Orlando listened to what she said and didn't understand at all.

Since the grass couldn't be eaten, no one gave it a name.

"How do you know so much?" Orlando asked.

Xin An was shocked. "I, I saw it written in a book from my mother."

She could not think of a good explanation, so she casually made it up.

Orlando glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Xin An thought she had fooled him, so she didn't explain any further about this matter.

"How much longer until we arrive?" Xin An saw that the road ahead was still filled with wild grasses, and she was slightly anxious.

They had been walking for so long that Xin An's feet were about to become crippled.

Normally, how could she have walked so far? She only felt waves of pain from her feet.

Orlando raised his head and looked at the sun, "Take a rest."

Xin An then found a clean grass patch and sat down.

Orlando stood beside her.

Xin An looked at him, unable to find any words to say.

Orlando took out a piece of jerky and slowly bit down on it.

Xin An looked at him. Her appearance was not that crude. His slow and unhurried manner was actually no more polite than that of a so-called gentleman.

"You want to eat it?" Orlando asked when he saw Xin An looking at him.

Xin An shook her head. It looked extremely hard, so how could she eat it?

Orlando saw that she stopped talking, so he didn't say anything more and continued to bite his jerky.

Xin An lowered her head as she fiddled with the ground silk grass in her hands.

"Here." Orlando suddenly handed her a piece of jerky.

Xin An looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"You didn't." Orlando handed it over to her with a calm expression.

Looking at the dried meat, Xin An felt a little hungry.

She had guessed that it would be a long time before she returned here, and she also wanted to bring some food with her. However, she had nothing. All that was left was the coconut. She did not want any other orcs to keep an eye on her. Furthermore, the coconut was so big that she had no way to bring it with her.

Seeing Orlando's jerky, she accepted it.

"Thank you!"

"Water." Orlando handed her a bamboo tube.

Xin An was very surprised, so she took it.

"If I eat it, will it not be enough?" Xin An looked at him.

Orlando shook his head, "No."

Xin An nodded.

She always felt that their relationship was a little strange, but the only thing she could be sure of was that this orc called Orlando did not have any malicious intentions towards her and instead helped her time and time again.

Even though it was at Cadillo's request, it made her feel happy.

"Orlando, thank you." Xin An felt that she could say nothing else.

Orlando looked at her, not knowing what to answer.

"Eat slowly." Orlando could only reply.

Xin An carefully bit into the jerky. It had to be said that it was truly tough. It was so hard that it nearly knocked out her teeth.

However, for the sake of the stomach, she could only force herself to eat it.

Orlando saw her troubled expression and started to think that jerky was still suitable for females.

"Just you wait." Orlando suddenly said and soon disappeared.

Xin An only had time to be shocked, unable to even speak.

However, she had no way to stop Orlando's actions, so she could only continue eating her dried meat.

Unknowingly, Orlando suddenly appeared with a few fruits in his hand.

Xin An looked at him in surprise.

"The jerky is too tough." Orlando felt that females should eat the best fruits.

Xin An looked at the fruits in her hand and looked at Orlando, who was fiddling with her own tree trunk.

Xin An couldn't care less whether the fruit was clean or not as she wiped it clean and started chewing. The sweetness of the juice eased the hardness of the dried meat.

Her teeth finally eased.

After eating a fruit, she remembered to pick up a few and prepared to give them to Orlando.

Who knew that Orlando wouldn't accept it and said, "The fruits are eaten by females."

Xin An felt a headache coming on. Who set this rule!

"Hurry up and eat." Orlando urged.

Xin An was helpless. It seemed that some ideas could only be slowly corrected in the future.

However, Orlando specially went over to pick the fruit for her, causing her to feel warmth in her heart.

"Orlando, I've finished eating." Xin An quickly finished off the rest of the fruits before feeling full in her empty stomach.

Orlando nodded and once again led the way.

As they walked deeper in, the number of small animals began to increase.

Xin An saw a hare run past her and immediately threw a rock at it.

Unfortunately, it ran away.

"The white-furred beast is very cunning, it's not easy to hunt." Orlando couldn't help but to say as he saw her dejected expression.

Xin An looked at him, "Alright, I understand. I just want to give it a try."

If she could really throw a stone at a rabbit, that would be great.

Thinking of this, she began to ponder. Without her Orcs, she had no way to contend against wild beasts. How could she obtain food?

Just the food in the village was not enough for her to eat.

Although most people only had one meal at most, for a person like her who was punctual for three meals, it was extremely hard for her to ring the biological clock every time she arrived at the restaurant.

"Let's go." While she was distracted, Orlando had already caught a few small wild beasts.

Xin An could only sigh. There were some things that were truly too weak for her to handle.

However, she would never give up!

The two of them walked on for a long distance before they finally saw Du Zhong, the person Xin An had always desired.

"Wow, so many!" Xin An looked at Du Zhong excitedly.

Orlando nodded, "I've seen it before, but I'm not sure what's the use of it."

Xin An carefully pulled one stalk, picked up Eucommia ulmoides, and explained to Orlando, "This Eucommia ulmoides has the function of activating blood, removing blood stasis, strengthening muscles and bones. For Cadillo, this is the most useful."

Orlando looked at her.

Xin An remembered that she had said too much and quickly explained, "I also saw what was written on that book."

Orlando nodded and didn't say anything else.

After finding the medicinal plant she wanted, Xin An decided to head back. After all, if he could treat Cadillo earlier, he could recover earlier.

"Orlando, I'll go back first." Xin An took enough Du Zhong and said to Orlando.

Orlando nodded, picked up his prey and followed her.

"You can continue hunting. You don't need to send me back." Xin An hurriedly said when she saw him like that.

Orlando shook his head, "I'll send you back."

"But your prey is not enough." Xin An looked at the few small animals in his hands and then thought about the appetite of the orcs.

Orlando continued to oppose.

"How about I hunt with you?" Xin An thought for a while. She couldn't make Orlando give up hunting just because of her, so she told him.

However, Orlando insisted, "No, I'll send you back."

"Alright, then let's go back first." Under Orlando's insistent gaze, Xin An couldn't say anything else and could only follow Orlando's instructions.

The two of them wrapped the items in vines and headed back.

They didn't say anything along the way.

Xin An seemed to want to say something, but was unable to find the right words to say.

Orlando was not used to saying too much.

In the midst of their silence, the two of them returned to the village.

"Orlando, you're back?" Padisha saw Orlando from afar and immediately came to greet him.

Orlando did not answer.

"Why did you only hit a few today?" Padisha frowned. Orlando didn't get much prey, which meant that they wouldn't get much meat today.

Xin An saw that Padisha was unhappy and did not stay. After saying goodbye to Orlando, she turned around to look for Cadillo.

"Xin An, it really is you!" Who knew that Padisha would not let Xin An off.

Xin An turned to look at her.

"You are the one who delayed Orlando's hunt! "As expected, you, a female cursed by Orc God, will bring disaster upon our clansmen!" Padisha reprimanded loudly.

Xin An held onto the herb in her hand, not understanding what was going on. Wasn't this woman trying too hard to reason with him?

"Padisha, what nonsense are you talking about? How did I bring disaster upon my people? " Xin An glared at Padisha.

"It's you, it's you. If it wasn't for the weeds in your hand, would Orlando have come back so early today?" When Padisha saw the few prey in Orlando's hands, plus Orlando actually took Xin An out and rejected her, her hatred became even stronger.

"Padisha, shut up." These things are my business. I won't take anything from today's prey. " Orlando put his prey on the ground and followed in the direction of Xin An.

Padisha looked at the prey on the ground and became even more furious.

Xin An did not understand Orlando's actions, but she did not want to stay behind either, so she walked straight ahead.
