19. Chapter 19
"be mine."
A gentle, hesitant voice rang among the crowd.
The sound was not loud, and the panic of orcs was filled with orcs, Ji Xiaoou's voice did not attract attention.
The orcs beside Ji Xiaoou saw the little leopard looking in this direction and retreated one after another, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
Although Renne's smaller body is not very threatening, who can guarantee that it will not attract other leopard tribes?
The elk clan has lived here for a hundred years, and has been obedient and friendly with the surrounding tribes.
I don't want to cause any genocide disaster.
The leader of the Elk tribe is named Gao Zhi, and he is the oldest elk in the tribe. His beard is white and his voice is thick.
He came forward to the abbot's overall situation. When he encountered such a crisis, his temper would become bad even if he had a good temper. His beard flew around and his eyes widened.
Seeing that no one admitted it, he asked again: "Who brought this leopard tribe in? Does no clan know?"
The head of the Elk tribe said, and blew his beard and arranged for the strongest young men in the tribe to surround him to protect the safety of the tribe.
At the same time, someone asked to ask about the origin of the leopard.
Yesterday, Ji Xiaoou followed Eric back to the yard where he temporarily lived, and several elk orcs saw it.
There are not many orcs in this village, and you will know everything as soon as you ask.
Even if it is concealed, it will not be concealed for long.
Ji Xiaoou took a step forward silently, lowered his head in a lost and found tone, saying, "It's me, I brought it in."
The eyes of the elk leader and his tribe members were stuck to her.
Ji Xiaoou regretted it very much. Why didn’t he put it in the space when he went out?
She really underestimated the extent of the leopard tribe's inflicts and their presence.
How could it stay in the room peacefully?
Despite this, Ji Xiaoou couldn't help but defend his "Taotao" and said, "It is actually very obedient, unlike other leopard tribes... It is a leopard abandoned by its tribe members and will not attract other leopard tribes to hurt you." After a pause, Ji Xiaoou wanted to strengthen the credibility, "Really, I promise."
The tone was filled with a kind of "protecting shortcomings" that he hadn't even noticed.
The elk orcs looked at her suspiciously.
Perhaps because of her unknown origin, Ji Xiaoou's words did not convince the beasts.
Yesterday, everyone only knew that Eric brought back a female, who had a face that looked very similar to a human.
There will be some orcs that have evolved extremely close to humans among each race. These orcs are extremely rare, either with extraordinary talents or acquired efforts.
For example, the Holden of the Wolf Clan.
Although rare, it is not unusual.
They didn't know anything about Ji Xiaoou.
"I'm sorry, we can't believe you." Seeing that the other party was a female, the patriarch Gakaji took a breath, probably not understanding where a female got such courage.
"The leopard tribe is born cruel. Every year, countless deer tribes die under their sharp claws. Even if he is a leopard abandoned by his race, he cannot deny the fact that he feeds on the deer tribe!" The patriarch Gao Zhi said clearly in every sentence.
The clan leader's words resonated with the clan members and even aroused their inherent fear of the leopard tribe.
The elk orc spontaneously left Ji Xiaoou's side, and his eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.
In the crowd, Eric looked at the isolated girl and hesitated several times, but still did not come forward to speak for her.
After all, he only saw Renne's prototype yesterday. He saw the leopard showing her sharp nails, which was not good for her.
He had no way of convinced himself that this was a simple and harmless leopard.
Ji Xiaoou tightened his fingers holding the bamboo basket strap, raised his eyes and looked at the little leopard lying on the corn rack.
Renn was also looking at her, put away his deliberate arrogance, his eyes calm and quiet.
Ji Xiaoou thought that it would have been so obedient just now, and said to the head of the elk, "I'm sorry, leader, I..."
"It can't stay here." Before Ji Xiaoou finished speaking, the head of the Gao Zhi interrupted her coldly and said, "For the sake of race safety, I hope you and him will leave our village as soon as possible."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Eric finally couldn't help but walk out of the beasts: "Captain Gao Zhi, the blizzard will come soon. If you drive them away now, they will be buried by the blizzard. Can you let them live here and wait until the blizzard stops before leaving?"
The clan leader Gao Zhi was in an official tone: "Sorry, since I am the clan leader, I should be headed by the safety of the clan. Who can guarantee that there will be no danger in the clan during the period when they are intake?" As he said that, he turned his tone and looked at Ji Xiaoou, "Female, please take this leopard tribe away immediately."

Ji Xiaoou's plan to make quilts can only come to an end.
For the sake of ethnicity, Eric had to send her to the entrance of the village and said to her: "Ou, I'm sorry... I didn't speak for you at that time."
In fact, in his subconscious, he still felt that this leopard tribe was very dangerous.
He couldn't even understand why Ou was with it.
However, Ji Xiaoou could understand Eric's thoughts very well.
He was afraid that the leopard tribe would be so scared, but he could still endure the fear. It was already rare to spend so long with the little leopard.
Ji Xiaoou said it was okay. After saying goodbye to Eric, he left the elk clan with his backpack and hugged "Taotao".
"Ou, you can find a place nearby to live first. When I complete my grandfather's instructions here, I will go and find you!"
Eric reminded him in a worried manner afterwards.
The cold wind swept through and swung around, blowing Eric's words far and far away.
But I don’t know if it blows into Ji Xiaoou’s ears.
Ji Xiaoou walked east along the way he came.
The roadside is covered with snow, and the sun shines on the snow surface, reflecting a layer of shiny light, which makes people's eyes feel a little painful.
Ji Xiaoou was eager to find a safe place to stay before the wind and snow came.
When winter comes, snowstorms come here very frequently, one after another, without a chance to breathe.
Perhaps he was walking too fast and there were many uneven stones buried under the snow. Ji Xiaoou stepped on it with one foot, and the center of gravity was unstable, so his body leaned forward.
The moment he fell to the ground, Ji Xiaoou still remembered holding a leopard in his arms.
She was worried about crushing it and turned sideways stiffly.
Fortunately, the snow is soft and even if it falls heavily, it doesn’t hurt much.
But Ji Xiaoou didn't get up for a long time.
In the snow, the girl was wearing a wide gooseberry coat, with two slender and straight calves exposed under the coat.
She held a little leopard with black marks on the gray base, tightened her arms, and her small chin against the top of the little leopard's head, with her eyelashes hanging down, without saying a word.
Rennes was held in the girl's arms, with no room for resistance.
He struggled a little, and his arms tightened tighter.
Renn had no hope for this body's ability to resist, so he simply gave up struggling and let Ji Xiaoou hold him.
After a while, the top of my head was slightly hot and my hair seemed to be wet with something.
The girl rubbed her chin against his head, and then a dull, slightly aggrieved voice said:
"Taotao, I really want to go home..." she asked, "Where are you?"
