Chapter 406 Trouble Arrives
Dorack felt something was wrong, so he continued asking: "Why did you accept such an unreasonable condition?"
Doik gritted his teeth and spoke sadly: "Everyone in the village thinks I'm close to you; that's why they don't want to help me."
"At that time, I didn't know what to do to find food. In the end, I had to borrow Doba's food."
Doba laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha... Doik, don't try to run away. When you borrowed my food, many people witnessed it, including the village chief."
"If you don't return the food to me, no, if you don't return the food to me in five days, the village chief will kick you out of the village, hahahaha..."
Doik bowed his head, not daring to say anything. Dorack looked at Doik helplessly; he then sighed and said: "Okay, don't worry, I will help you."
"Heh!? This..." Doik said embarrassedly: "Dorack, you saved me once; I haven't paid you back yet. How can I continue to bother you?"
"You do not need to say much." Dorack clasped his hands: "Your family used to help me and raise me. I still owe your family a lot.
"Dorack, thank you..." Doik's eyes turned red, as if he wanted to cry. After all, in recent times, his family of five, including him, has had to eat and drink sparingly.
Anyway, he could only borrow two days of food from Doba, along with some wild fruit, so Doik never had a full meal.
He even had to starve and give food to his wife and daughter. His parents also had to drink water and eat wild vegetables to cope with hunger.
Doik had never felt so desperate and helpless before.
Dorack sighed. He didn't think he would implicate his benefactor. Doik's parents had given him food many times before to help him cope with his hunger.
It could be said... that without their help, Dorack would probably have encountered many difficulties, or he may not even have been alive today.
Dorack looked towards Doba, frowned, and said: "I will pay his debt. I will pay you enough food for five days."
"You?" Doba laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... Dorack, if you want to pay the debt for him, that's fine. However, if you do that, you must pay me seven days worth of food."
"Doba!" Doik shouted angrily: "Don't be so unreasonable! I only agreed to give you five days of food because I had no other choice."
"Now you're saying seven days of food, are you crazy?"
"Huh!" Doac said contemptuously: "Good, then now you should immediately pay me my five days worth of food; otherwise..."
"You..."
Doik wanted to say something, but Dorack raised his hand, blocking his words.
Dorack looked towards Doba, frowned, and said: "Good, I will pay for seven days of food. However, we need someone to witness this transaction."
"Huh! Do you think anyone will want to help you? Dorack, you have no other choice; either go hunting to pay for seven days of food for Doik."
"Or... go back and starve. Of course, if you run away while hunting, the consequences Doik will suffer... will be terrible."
Doba spoke while laughing contemptuously. Of course, Doba also did not know that Doban's group died because of Dorack.
"That..." Doro heard that and looked towards Doba: "Doba, I also think that's a bit excessive."
"Huh! Is it too much?" Doba said contemptuously: "I think that's very reasonable. If you think it's too much, you can borrow food from other families; why borrow from me?"
"I was very lenient, letting him borrow food when no one wanted to lend him food. That's why it's normal for us to get 5 days of food back."
Doro sighed; of course he knew this. It's just... Doba's parents were his best friends when he was young, and he didn't want them to feel uncomfortable.
Finally, Doro looked towards Doik and Dorack: "Doba is right, you don't need to discuss this anymore."
"Anyway, Doba said that as long as Doik is able to hunt, he can return the food to Doba."
"No need!" Dorack then spoke up: "Chief Doro, if you say it's fair, then I don't need to say anything more."
"However, I will pay for that food on behalf of Doik."
"Like I said..." Doba spoke up: "If you pay that debt to Doik, you must pay me seven days of food."
"This..." Doro couldn't control himself anymore, so he walked to Doba's side and said in a low voice: "Doba, you should be satisfied. Seven days of food is too much, you..."
"Village chief, although I am forcing him to pay me seven days of food, I can give you two days worth of food." Doba smiled and said.
Doro was startled when he heard that. At this moment, he began to hesitate. After all, he is old and cannot hunt like young hunters.
He could only pick a little fruit to eat or receive a little meat from the young hunters, thanks to their respect for him.
However, that is still not enough. Because his only son had died, his family still had a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren who needed him to take care of.
In the end, he could only nod and say: "Remember what you said."
"Of course, village chief, I have never lied to you."
Hearing Doba's words, Doro glanced at him, then looked back at Dorack, sighed, and said: "Dorack, are you sure that you want to repay Doik's debt?"
Hearing that, Doik felt embarrassed and looked forward to Dorack's response. Anyway, he didn't have the ability to hunt now. If he had to repay Doba's debt, his family would starve to death.
That's why... he still hoped that Dorack could help him again.
Dorack knows what Doro, Doik, and Doba are thinking. He nodded and said: "I will definitely repay the debt on behalf of Doik. Merely..."
He glanced at Doik and said: "After paying off his debt, my family and I will no longer have anything to do with each other."
"Consider it like I've returned the favour to Doik's parents."
Hearing that, Doik immediately knew that Dorack wanted to cut off his relationship with him. However, Doik could only nod; after all, he did not want to starve to death.
Besides, five days of food to pay Doba is too much.
"Good!" Doik nodded and said: "As long as you help me repay the debt, from now on, my family and you will have nothing to do with each other."
