The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

In fact, although it is the beginning of spring, the weather has not completely warmed up. It can only be said that it is much better than the long sub-zero temperature in winter. The river water has begun to thaw and flow, but for the beastmen who are not able to resist the cold in their animal form, as long as they take off their animal skins, the weather is still very cold.

After catching a cold at the beginning of the rainy season last year, Ji Cheng is still very careful now. Although he runs outside at the beginning of spring, he wears very warm clothes and never leaves any chance of catching a cold.

After many orcs' new houses have been built and the land that has melted snow has been loosened and seeds have been sown, the hibernating beasts will end their sleep and crawl out of the nests that have been prepared long ago.

It was at this time that the high priest Lin woke up from hibernation.

His animal form is a snake, and of course he also adheres to the living habits of snakes. Every year when the rainy season comes, he will become less active when the temperature just shows signs of dropping, and after a while, he will automatically crawl into his underground nest to hibernate.

Moreover, because he was stepped on by Xiu, the brat, and injured his waist last year, Lin went into hibernation earlier than in previous years. He went to the underground nest a few days after he drove away Hua and Xiu who came to visit him.

He slept for several months, and when he woke up, Lin felt hungry - of course, this is how people usually feel after waking up from hibernation.

Lin has lived for several decades and has enough experience in this, so he will prepare a considerable amount of food for himself, so that he can eat it right after waking up.

After waking up from hibernation, he found the food that had been stored long ago and had a good meal. Lin felt very refreshed - of course, the part of his waist that was sprained had recovered itself during hibernation.

Originally, Lin's injury was not particularly serious at the time. Rather than saying that he was injured in pain, it was because he felt embarrassed because he was stepped on by a few brats while sleeping.

Now that a winter has passed, this minor injury has long healed by itself. Lin ate the stored food beautifully and then crawled out of the hibernation nest.

After not seeing each other for a winter, everyone in the Aludulu tribe must have missed him, the high priest, very much!

——Then Lin found that this world seemed to be different from what he imagined.

How come Ji became so popular in the tribe after he slept for a winter? !

Lin crawled out of his underground nest, returned to the tribe, and walked out of his house. He had imagined that the residents of Aludulu would line up to welcome him, and everyone would shout "March has arrived, welcome the high priest back"... and so on.

However, when he walked out, no one lined up to welcome him, but it took him a quarter of an hour to walk from his home to the entrance of the tribe, and he heard at least ten times the orcs discussing and praising Ji!

"Ji is so smart..."

"That's right, everyone has lived a much more comfortable winter than before!"

"Kahena is really good at raising children, but it's a pity..."

"Speaking of which, Ji is almost an adult, right? I wonder which girl he will like."

Hearing the discussion of the orcs, Lin's nose was almost crooked with anger: What a joke? Just Ji, the little guy without animal form? He is also a little guy with a sharp mouth who can fool the high priest and has no respect for elders and no moral cultivation! ! He can be praised and paid attention to by everyone? !

Priest Lin was very angry, but it was only at this time that he noticed that some houses in the tribe seemed to look different from before?

Could this be the result of the "decoration team" organized by Ji that everyone said?

Lin was a little curious. He was about to stop a passing orc to ask what was going on, but he happened to walk to the door of the tribe at this time.

Then Lin, who was highly myopic, almost bumped into the spikes on the wall.

The orc passing by helped him up: "Priest Lin, be careful!"

Finally someone noticed him!

Lin asked tremblingly: "...This wall?"

The orc said proudly: "Oh, this was made by Ji and everyone else! We installed spikes on the wall, so we are not afraid of wild animals sneaking over the wall in the middle of the night."

Although there was a wall outside the tribe to defend against some wild animal attacks in the past, there were always times when the tribe members who were on night watch took a nap, or encountered some wild animals that were particularly good at climbing, and they could climb up and into the tribe by stepping on the potholes on the wall. Although this kind of thing didn't happen often, there would be a lot of loss to the tribe members every time.

But now that Jicheng has rebuilt this, such a thing has never happened again-but not long ago, a wild animal ran out of the forest in the middle of the night and wanted to attack, but didn't see the spikes on the wall clearly. When the orcs found it, the beast had been hung on the spikes on the wall, and the blood was almost drained.

Lin: "!!"

Sure enough, it was another masterpiece of Ji's kid! !

Thinking that his repeated embarrassment was all because of Ji Cheng, Lin's beautiful mood, which had just been awakened from hibernation, was ruined all at once.

He was furious. He had originally wanted to learn more about the changes in the lives of the tribal residents, but now he instantly lost his motivation.

Although he had awakened from hibernation, the weather was still quite cold. Lin didn't like this temperature, so he thought for a while and simply didn't go back. Instead, he went out of the tribe and turned to the direction of Dulu Mountain.

The high priest decided to ignore these worldly disturbances and soak in a hot spring to calm himself down first.

However, when he dragged his newly awakened body and walked slowly for nearly two hours, he arrived at the place where the hot spring was in his memory, but found that the originally clear and warm hot spring water was now turbid.

Lin couldn't believe it, and tremblingly reached out to touch the spring water, but his fingers felt a sharp pain.

Boom.

A loud thunder cracked through Lin's heart.

He couldn't soak in his beloved hot spring water!

——

The Aludulu tribe is not small. The house reconstruction has been busy for a month and only popularized a small half of the entire tribe, but it is not big either. At least gossip like "the priest Lin who woke up from hibernation is in a bad mood recently" spreads quickly. Within a day, the gossip has spread to Jicheng, who is still working as a painter.

"What happened to the priest Lin?" A member of the decoration team muttered.

In the past, when he woke up from hibernation, wasn't he usually in a good mood?

Now the tribe has completed the renovation of the houses of the old, weak, sick and disabled orcs, and the entire project has been advanced to the houses of the hunting team and the decoration team members. It happened that the task of reclamation of farmland today has been almost completed, so Ji Cheng is supervising the decoration team and guiding them when the renovation project encounters difficulties.

Hearing some members muttering about the high priest, Ji Cheng did not stop them and said that they could not be absent from work, but casually joined in and said: "I don't know, maybe it's menopause."

It happened that a few young orcs passed by at this time. When they heard the words, they stopped and looked at Ji Cheng with a strange expression.

Although the Aludulu tribe is generally a very united tribe, and Ji Cheng's status has also changed by leaps and bounds compared to a year ago, there are always one or two bad apples in this world who like to show their good temperament of spoiling the whole pot of soup no matter what.

Just like now, when they heard Ji Cheng's "rude words", they immediately became sarcastic: "Who dares to say bad things about the high priest?"

"That's right," another young orc echoed, "You don't even have a beast form, and you can't join the hunting team, and you still have the nerve to say that about others?"

Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, but they were loud enough for Ji Cheng and the other orcs in the decoration team to hear.

After spending some time together, the orcs in the decoration team were already quite convinced by Ji Cheng. When they heard the words, they all showed a look of anger and wanted to roll up their sleeves and go down to argue with those orcs on the spot.

Ji Cheng narrowed his eyes and recognized the orcs below.

It's a pity that there are not only rat shit in the world, but also that these rat shits often have the characteristics of being faithful to one person - unfortunately, the faces of the orcs in front of him perfectly overlap with the faces of Ji's memory that mocked him for not having a beast form and being a waste.

Even the lines of mockery did not change.

Ji Cheng curled his lips, waved his hand to stop the orcs of the decoration team, and changed from half-leaning on the tree to sitting up straight: "Bold!"

The few young orcs passing by: "?"

They were blank for a moment.

Ji Cheng said again: "How dare you maliciously slander the high priest!"

Young orcs: "???"

How did they maliciously slander?

Someone retorted a little uneasily: "Ji! It's you who slandered the high priest, right?!"

Ji Cheng crossed his arms and said confidently: "How did I slander the high priest?"

"You said the high priest has reached menopause!"

Ji Cheng said "Oh" in a long voice: "But menopause means that the high priest has reached middle age."

As the high priest of the tribe, Lin is already in his thirties this year. If he were in a more technologically advanced society, he might still be considered young, but in the primitive society where the average life expectancy of orcs is not long, he has indeed entered middle age.

He spread his hands innocently: "I'm just telling the truth, how can it be called slander?"

The young orcs were speechless: "You..."

"It's you," Ji Cheng changed the subject, "I'm just telling the truth, but you scold me in the name of the high priest. If people who don't know know it, won't they think that the high priest is a bad person who can't distinguish right from wrong, black from white, and is arbitrary?"

He said righteously: "- Isn't this slandering the high priest?!"
