Chapter 111
The whole rabbit is less than the size of a palm, not to mention its claws. The difference between its pink and white claws scratching the stone is like that between cotton and iron. The little rabbit used all its strength to suckle, but it only left a few marks.
The little rabbit stopped, looked at his work carefully, and began to shut himself in. After a moment, as if he suddenly figured it out, he moved away decisively, changed the place and started digging again.
The new position is slightly better. Although the progress is still almost zero, at least there are no traces like before.
But his claws, which had never dug a hole before, were too inexperienced. He dug for a long time but didn’t dig much and was quite exhausted.
The white fur ball squatted there and hesitated for a moment, then stopped to rest decisively. The soft and warm mattress was so comfortable. Even without the giant thermal insulation, it was still very comfortable. The little rabbit paused on the bedding for a moment, then went straight into the quilt to sleep.
Let’s talk about digging holes later, since there’s no birth today anyway.
Lang Qi came back after the cave became quiet. Seeing the almost invisible ball on the bed, he felt extremely satisfied. He carefully lifted a corner, and the little rabbit immediately felt the cold wind and shivered. Lang Qi quickly covered the rabbit with the quilt and began to check the surroundings.
After just walking around the bedroom, he still couldn’t find the place he was looking for. Lang Qi thought of Tu Cai’s words and was a little unconvinced, so he started a new round of searching, and finally paused for a while at two places.
After comparing the two locations, Lang Qi chose one, poked it with his hand, looked back at the little ball on the bed, and turned around again, changing into a beast form. He raised his front paws and poked a hole in the front that was slightly larger than a fist, just big enough for the little rabbit to fit in.
After digging, Lang Qi changed back into human form, stuffed the powder on the ground back, and finally made a thin stone slab to cover the outside.
When the little rabbit woke up the next morning, there was still no one around him and he was still alone in the room. However, this time he did not rush to the place where he had dug the hole yesterday. Instead, he began to investigate the surroundings. Finally, we chose a location, a wardrobe at the end of the bed, which is hidden and safe, and made of wood.
There was a row of wardrobes at the end of the bed. The little rabbit took a fancy to the one in the corner. There were no clothes in it that he was currently wearing, and no one had touched it for many days.
But the wardrobe was on the floor, and the little rabbit hesitated for a moment before finally sliding down the animal hide like he was on a slide.
Wood is much easier to dig than stone. Even though the little rabbit didn’t have much strength and its claws were a little small, after half a morning, he had dug a small hole in the wardrobe close to the ground.
Inside were piles of animal skins and a sense of security. The little rabbit squirmed around in there, cleared out an empty spot, and then began to move the fur from outside.
Every time he would climb onto the bed with a grunt, hug a ball of fur, walk to the bedside and grab the animal skin, then slide down the skin to the ground and run straight to the closet.
After a few days, a large pile of fur had accumulated. In addition, the place was quite far away, so the little rabbit went back and forth many times before moving everything. Finally, he lay down in the closet and fell asleep.
On the other side, two wolf cubs who were well fed and placed in another bedroom were trying to figure out how to climb over the annoying railing in front of them.
Outside, Lang Qi was thinking about what to cook. Bai Tu’s appetite had been average recently and he ate much less than before.
However, Lang Qi soon discovered that Bai Tu’s food consumption rate had returned to its previous level, but his eating habits had changed a little.
Before, I would eat a lot in one meal, and after eating, I would keep a few snacks at hand and eat a little from time to time. It would take me half a day to finish several packs of snacks. Although he doesn’t eat much during meals now, he consumes snacks very quickly. Every time he goes out for a walk, the snacks are all gone when he comes back, even the leaves used for packaging are gone. Lang Qi wanted to ask something at one point, but when he thought of Tu Cai’s explanation, he had to swallow his words back.
“Some orcs who are giving birth to cubs for the first time will feel that the surroundings are not safe enough. At this time, you have to go along with them and try not to disturb them. Otherwise, they will hold back and not give birth, or the cubs they give birth to may be unhealthy. You have to make them feel safe.” These are Tu Cai’s original words.
Tu Cai also said that every year there are cubs that die at birth in the tribe. They are not the kind that can be saved. They have lost their breath in the orcs’ stomachs. Even if you have learned emergency rescue methods, they cannot be saved because they have been without breathing for too long. Although many reasons are unknown, the safest thing is to prevent the orcs from being frightened.
In order to make Bai Tu feel safe in the cave, Lang Qi put off all other tasks. After all, Bai Tu had already arranged things to do after the ice and snow melted, so there would be something to do for at least two months, so there was no need to disturb Bai Tu. Seeing that Bai Tu consumed the snacks quickly, Lang Qi went straight to the cafeteria, replaced them with a bunch of fresh snacks, and put some on the table every half a day. As expected, the snacks finally disappeared.
Every time Lang Qi left the bedroom, Bai Tu uncontrollably wanted to hide food. He knew it was unnecessary, but he simply couldn’t help it. Only by hiding the food could he feel safe.
After hiding for a few days, one end of the bedroom has undergone tremendous changes. From the outside, it is still the closet, but if someone opens it, they will find that it has been divided into several areas. Not only is each area separated by clean animal skins, but there is also an aisle in the middle for convenient walking. Of course, this aisle is only wide enough for the cub to pass through.
The little rabbit’s busy time changed from morning to midnight, as it seemed to feel safer at night. It quietly opened its eyes when others were resting in the middle of the night and began to pull out the fur from the giant wolf’s body. After pulling out the fur, it hid itself and hid in the closet again after the people left.
Every time Lang Qi came back, he would look around, but he didn’t see any changes, even the hole he dug was unchanged, and he became more and more confused.
The little rabbit was completely unaware of Lang Qi’s doubts. After working for a few days, he felt that his nest was almost ready and began to dig a passage to the other side of the closet. Leaving only one exit was still not safe enough, so he had to leave several.
As he was digging, the little rabbit suddenly felt something was wrong. He walked to the place where the animal skins and fur were laid out and looked down at his stomach.
The belly was covered tightly with white fluff, and it could only be seen that it was a little rounder than before. As I stared at it, I felt an unprecedented discomfort in my abdomen.
Uncomfortable… The little rabbit scratched the animal skin and rubbed the fur. He stood up and turned around inside, then returned to his original position, feeling uneasiness mixed with anxiety. The little rabbit, who encountered this situation for the first time, didn’t know how to deal with it. He could only stay in the rabbit nest that he had spent several days making and rub his belly with his paws.
Unfortunately it was useless. His stomach still hurt as before. The little rabbit was at a loss. He realized that he couldn’t go on like this and used his last bit of strength to change back into human form.
When he woke up again, he automatically turned into an animal form just like when he woke up in the morning recently. The little rabbit felt that his stomach no longer hurt. Just as he was about to get up and continue digging an exit, he suddenly heard a very faint voice.
The voice was very familiar. The little rabbit looked towards the place where the voice came from and was suddenly stunned.
Three wolf cubs of different colors were huddled together and sleeping. The sound came from the youngest cub. The little rabbit approached the cubs, rubbed gently on a few of them, piled up the fur around them, and then began to sleep, having completely forgotten about digging the next exit.
The little rabbit and the three wolf cubs slept for a while. The black wolf cub woke up first, but the newborn cub’s eyes were not open, so he could not hear any sound, so he could only follow the scent to find the little rabbit.
The black wolf cub was smaller than the newborn cubs of the same species, but it looked very healthy and round.
Not long after the black cub woke up, the gray cub and the white cub woke up one after another. The gray cub was still talkative and didn’t stop after waking up. The white cub didn’t bark much, but from the sound of the voice, it could be heard that the other was hungry.
Hungry… The little rabbit crawled to the place where food was stored and moved the food over, only to discover one thing: there was nothing in the food that the cubs could eat. It was stunned for a moment.
The little rabbit paused for a moment. Before he could figure out what to do, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. The sound was very light. The little rabbit tensed up his whole body and listened vigilantly to the movement outside.
The little rabbit didn’t relax until it heard a familiar humming sound from outside. Not long after, a gray wolf cub poked its head in from the hole left by the little rabbit.
After more than half a year of careful feeding, the two little wolf cubs have grown a lot bigger and become smarter. Not only can they follow the scent to find where Bai Tu is, they also know to say hello before coming in.
The effect was useful, at least the little rabbit did not show obvious objection, and the two little wolf cubs came in one after another.
Seeing the three new cubs in the den, the two older ones froze instantly. The gray one approached the little rabbit pitifully, as if expressing its pity.
The black one came closer to the three cubs, sniffed gently, and finally returned to the gray cub and barked twice, as if telling it something.
The gray wolf calmed down, looked back at the three cubs who had not yet opened their eyes, and was not as repulsive to them as before. He even walked over and licked them.
However, the newborn wolf cubs were very resistant to unfamiliar smells. Even though the other party was just a cub not much older than themselves and did not pose much of a threat, they still resisted. The three cubs huddled together, looking for a familiar smell.
The little rabbit was very puzzled when he saw the cubs getting along with each other. He could feel that these were all his cubs, but why did the younger cubs dislike the older cubs?
The little rabbit, not understanding what was going on, could only temporarily separate the two litters of cubs, with the two bigger ones on one side and the three smaller ones on the other side.
Without the strange smell, the three little wolf cubs were much quieter than before. They gently sniffed the familiar smell of the little rabbit and called out a few times. Knowing that there was no food, they could only continue to sleep miserably. They would not be hungry when they slept.
The little rabbit turned to look at the wolf cubs, then looked at the food he had hidden, and became confused.
The two older wolf cubs had just finished their meal and were not hungry. They lay next to the little rabbit in the warm and dry nest and closed their eyes, as if they had returned to their very young age and felt very comfortable.
There were two cubs on one side and three little ones on the other. The little rabbit in the middle scratched the hide under the fur, hesitated, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Although he was still in animal form when he woke up, there were some changes from before. It was not completely controlled by instinct. It was like a sick person suddenly waking up. Bai Tu thought about what he had done in the past few days and his expression gradually became stiff.
Not only did he dig a hole in the corner of the closet, he also hid food in it. However, he didn’t realize there was anything wrong before. Sometimes, even if he knew that food didn’t need to be hidden, and as long as he didn’t leave the tribe, there would be enough food every day, he still couldn’t help it.
However, these were not what made him silent. Bai Tu looked at the cubs sleeping in his arms, and could not tell whether it was a dream or reality.
I have dreamed of three little wolf cubs quite a few times recently, but the other two were not in the dreams. In reality, there were only two wolf cubs, not three little ones. Bai Tu counted them three times and there were five each time, no mistake.
Although I have been hypnotizing myself to accept this fact since I found out that my belly was getting big, it was only today that I truly felt the reality. I can really give birth to a cub, and I actually did.
Bai Tu rubbed against each of the cubs, feeling very happy. He had always liked cubs and originally thought that he would not have the chance to have cubs of his own and could only look at other people’s cubs with envy. What he thought about most was waiting for the right opportunity to adopt one or two. Unexpectedly, he not only had one now, but three at once, plus the two wolf cubs, a total of five.
Looking around at the wardrobe that had completely lost its original appearance, Bai Tu was silent for a while, rubbing the soft and comfortable fur silently, and then hugged a few sleeping cubs to sleep.
The orc who had just given birth was weak. Even if she couldn’t feel it, it was actually good enough for her to stay awake for a while. The sleeping little rabbit had no idea how fragile her current state was in the eyes of others.
The two wolf cubs slept for a shorter time. After waking up, they guarded the cave entrance on the left and right.
Outside, Lang Qi was almost going crazy searching.
In recent days, Lang Qi has been following Tu Cai’s instructions. Unless it is something very important, he generally will not lie in the cave to disturb the little rabbit. When necessary, he will help without disturbing the little rabbit.
However, after a few days, the situation was still somewhat different from what Tu Cai said. For example, he still hadn’t found where the hole dug by the little rabbit was. He had almost turned over all the stones around the cave, but there were no scratches or dust like what he found at the beginning. However, the little rabbit was still very tired every day and seemed to be busy.
It was worrying that the little rabbit could not find the dug hole. After all, judging from the plucking of feathers in the past few days, the little rabbit was preparing to build a nest, but he had not found a place to build the nest yet. That’s all. Today, Lang Qi went out just like the previous few days. He guarded the entrance of the cave for a while and drove away all the orcs who wanted to approach the entrance. He returned to the cave when he felt the time was about right. However, when he returned to the cave, he discovered two things: the two cubs were missing, and the little rabbit was also missing.
Lang Qi turned the bed upside down but couldn’t find it. Neither the cubs nor the rabbits had the ability to protect themselves. Lang Qi was sure that he had been around the cave and no one had come in.
There was a familiar smell all around. In the place where the little rabbit had lived for a long time, there was no way to identify the other party’s location by smell, because it was the same everywhere.
Unable to find the cubs, let alone the little rabbits, Lang Qi became increasingly anxious, and the familiar feeling of irritability reappeared. Although his memory had been restored, the negative effects of the drugs on him had not completely disappeared. When his mood changed drastically, he could sense that he might be transforming into a beast.
Normally, Lang Qi would definitely find a quiet place to sort out his feelings, but now, he couldn’t care less about anything.
Just when I was getting anxious, I suddenly heard a sound not far away. His ears twitched slightly a few times to identify the specific direction of the sound, and finally he realized that it was the wardrobe in the corner.
Lang Qi walked to the closet, and the sounds inside stopped abruptly, as if they became cautious because of his arrival.
However, Lang Qi was a little excited at this time. This wardrobe was located closest to the corner, and one side was very close to the kang, with only a fist-sized space between them. And now, there is a small hole under the side facing the kang.
If you hadn’t run over here, you wouldn’t be able to see the hole. Lang Qi raised his hand and pushed the other wardrobes aside. He was very careful and didn’t make any noise during the whole process.
The closet was quiet for a while. After making sure there was no sound outside, a few faint noises were heard from inside.
The sound was very soft, like that made by a very weak cub. Lang Qi stared at the door of the closet, as if he wanted to stare through the wood, but he still didn’t dare to open the door.
Orcs who have just given birth are very fragile and cannot be stimulated in any way.
The orcs of the rabbit tribe prefer to give birth and raise their cubs in a relatively dark environment. Thinking of this, Lang Qi tiptoed to the window next to him and closed all the curtains.
The room suddenly became much darker and the intermittent cries of the cubs could be heard again from the closet. Lang Qi clenched his fists and finally forced himself to control himself.
Until a cry different from the other sounds was heard, Lang Qi immediately determined that it was the voice of the little rabbit, and whispered through the closet: “Tu?”
The little rabbit heard the sound outside. Although he still felt it was dangerous to go out, this voice made him feel at ease enough.
Looking at the three starving wolf cubs, and then at the two wolf cubs who were vigilantly guarding the cave entrance, the little rabbit walked carefully to the cave entrance and stuck his head out.
The moment he saw the familiar little rabbit, Lang Qi’s heart was filled with surprise. After making sure that the little rabbit was okay, he asked softly, “Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat?” In fact, the food was already ready, but as soon as he came in, he saw that Bai Tu was gone. He was so shocked that the food was still keeping it warm.
The little rabbit, who was a little more sober, nodded, but was reluctant to move, and pointed inside the hole with his paw.
There are five cubs inside, two large and three small.
Got permission! ! ! Lang Qi didn’t know how to express his inner ecstasy for a moment, so he picked up the little rabbit and kissed it again and again.
Many orcs who have just given birth do not allow anyone to approach the cubs, not even their own mates. They don’t know if the little rabbit is just because the cubs are hungry and they can’t feed them. Or it can be said that even if they knew this was the reason, Lang Qi wouldn’t care. He only cares about one thing, that is, these are the cubs that Bai Tu allowed him to see, and he is someone Bai Tu trusts.
After the surprise, Lang Qi did not rush to see the cubs, nor did he think about checking the number of cubs. Instead, he lowered his head to check the little rabbits.
There was no smell of blood on the little rabbit, and Lang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He confirmed again and again that the little rabbit had no wounds, and then he felt relieved. He kissed the little rabbit’s forehead, mouth corners, and paws again… He was so happy that he didn’t know what to do.
Bai Tu slapped the other person on the face, reminding him to go and see the cubs quickly. He had no milk and would starve to death if he continued to be hungry.
Lang Qi easily read the meaning in Bai Tu’s eyes, lowered his head and wanted to kiss the corner of his mouth again, but was pushed away.
Bai Tu did not forget that the other party had just kissed his paw, so he used all his strength to push the other party away, and called out twice quickly, urging the other party to prepare food for the cubs.
“Right away.” Wolf Qi said. It was not difficult to prepare food for the cubs. Bai Tu’s recent food contained goat milk. This meal was also prepared and was still hot.
Bai Tu is in beast form, and is many times smaller than other orcs. He can stay in the nest and provide a sense of security to the cubs, but he cannot feed the cubs for the time being.
So the three children, two adults and Bai Tu all had to be taken care of by Lang Qi alone, and the workload was several times greater than before.
However, Lang Qi did not feel tired at all and enjoyed it. The happiest thing was to carry Bai Tu in his arms and walk around. However, he could not enjoy this happiness most of the time because Bai Tu spent four-fifths of his time with the cubs. He only came out to eat, and the rest of the time he would accompany the cubs to sleep.
The two older wolf cubs might have felt that their status was threatened. Although they did not take any measures against the three younger cubs, they stayed with Bai Tu for much longer than before and basically slept in the closet all day long.
Fortunately, the den that Bai Tu had prepared before was big enough, and these two wolf cubs were only a little bigger than the younger ones. In fact, they were still cubs less than three years old. How big could they be? Moreover, the orcs’ wardrobes were ridiculously large, more than enough to sleep a family of six.
However, no matter how big the orc’s wardrobe was, it could not accommodate the giant black wolf, so the family rested at night with Bai Tu and the five cubs sleeping in the closet, while Lang Qi Neng slept outside. But since there is each other’s fur in the closet, it’s not that there is no sense of participation at all.
No matter how much he felt involved, he was still not satisfied without his partner in his arms, so the giant wolf, after changing into its beast form, simply surrounded the entire wardrobe, and only then did he feel a little more comfortable.
Bai Tu woke up and wanted to go out, but when he got to the exit, he found that he was covered by the wolf’s tail, so he scratched the wolf’s tail with his paw.
Only the belly area of the giant wolf was slightly soft. Although its tail was only used for balance and direction control, it was still much harder than the rabbit’s claws. It did not hurt the other rabbit, but its own claws became sore instead.
For the giant wolf, it had been a long time since he had received special treatment from Bai Tu. Although he was only tickled a few times for blocking the road, he was still very surprised. He found that the little rabbit’s strength had weakened after being tickled a few times, so he quickly retracted his tail, stood up and turned into a human form, casually put on a piece of animal skin, and picked up the little rabbit.
How could the little rabbit’s paws run on the ground? Anyway, Lang Qi was reluctant to do so.
This was not the first or second time that he was carried around. Bai Tu comforted himself that it was his beast form that did it and it had nothing to do with his human form.
Bai Tu felt at ease being taken out to eat by the other party. After eating and drinking his fill, he burped. The wolf used a clean towel to wipe the corners of his mouth and his unused paws. He cleaned the little rabbit again, took it back, and then lifted the cubs out one by one to feed them.
With Bai Tu around, the three little wolf cubs did not struggle, even though they didn’t like Lang Qi’s scent. Bai Tu must be there to watch over the cubs when they are eating, otherwise they will run away from home without even opening their eyes.
The newborn cubs grew fast, and under Bai Tu’s instruction, Lang Qi mastered many ways of preparing food for the cubs, which was nutritious and delicious. The cubs had eaten so much since birth that their bellies were round, and in just a few days they were a size bigger than the day they were born.
They were originally about the same size as the little rabbits, but now they seem to be bigger than the little rabbits. However, none of them have any awareness of their own body size, including the two bigger ones, which always lean against Bai Tu.
Wolf Qijian picked up the rabbit again and again, and finally just put it in his arms to prevent them from touching it.
Without Bai Tu, the little wolf cubs immediately became unhappy. The two older ones saw him in Wolf Qi’s arms, climbed up along his animal hide, and wanted to get in and get close to Bai Tu.
Of course Lang Qi couldn’t let them do as they wished, so he simply carried them all to the second bedroom and put them in a small bed with a fence.
There are two pieces of wood on one side of the fence that are obviously different in color from the other wood. They are newly added. When Bai Tu gave birth to three wolf cubs, two of them successfully escaped from prison by biting through these two pieces of wood with their teeth.
After all, it is only used to prevent the cub from falling, so Bai Tu instructed not to use too thick wood when making it. Wood of finger thickness should be arranged neatly, like a huge comb, and then fixed with flat wooden strips on the top and bottom. It is not only safe but also will not make the cub feel bored when it is placed around the bed.
However, the performance of the cubs was beyond everyone’s expectations. Even Lang Qi did not notice when the two cubs started gnawing on the two wooden sticks. From this, it can be seen that the two cubs have learned the true skills of Bai Tu. They all chose corners that are in Lang Qi’s blind spot. Under normal circumstances, he would not notice anything unusual.
It certainly took more than one or two days to gnaw through the sticks, but the two cubs persisted and did not touch other sticks during the entire process. They also gnawed the side facing them first, leaving a thin layer on the outside, otherwise Wolf Qi would definitely have discovered it.
It was not until the two cubs successfully escaped and were found by him that Lang Qi saw the two broken wooden strips. Then he found the wood chips hidden under the cubs’ beds. Of course, the taste of wood was not as good as the taste of meat and cow’s milk. The two cubs were very smart to spit out all the wood chips and hide them in the corner.
Just because I was worried about Bai Tu, and the cub’s bed was only used for a short time during the day, the animal skin had not been changed for several days, so I didn’t notice the sawdust.
Now seeing the two wooden strips of different colors, not to mention Lang Qi, even Bai Tu looked at the two wolf cubs a few more times, and they didn’t realize that they were the materials for doing big things.
Feeding five cubs is different from feeding two cubs, but the food for both sides is a little different. Newborns are too small and can only drink goat milk, while the two older ones can eat completely by themselves.
They found that they were put back in the fence, and the exit that they had bitten out with great difficulty was blocked. The two wolf cubs had no choice but to start eating obediently.
Lang Qi then concentrated on feeding the three little wolf cubs, feeding them one by one from the smallest to the largest, and then feeding them from the largest to the smallest, and he fed them back and forth like this until all the goat milk in the bowl was drunk.
A few days after birth, the wolf cubs have opened their eyes.
One bowl of goat milk is just enough for three cubs. The other two cubs have also finished eating the meat paste and are licking each other’s mouths.
Lang Qi put away the clean bowls and plates, wiped the cubs one by one with a wet towel, and then carried them into the inner room.
When he walked inside and was about to put the clothes in the closet like he did a few days ago, Lang Qi looked down at the drowsy little rabbit in his arms and asked tentatively in a low voice: “Can you move it to the bed? The closet is too small and the little wolf cub will have difficulty breathing.”
He learned this from Bai Tu. Before winter, some people would block up all the gaps in their caves. Bai Tu said that staying in a confined space for a long time without going out would cause difficulty breathing and affect health.
Lang Qi remembered this statement, applied it to Bai Tu.
In fact, the wardrobe is big enough, and Bai Tu not only dug a hole in the front and back, but Lang Qi also dug a few holes in the upper part to allow smooth ventilation. However, we definitely can’t mention these now.
The animal form affects his thoughts, and it affects his thoughts even more when he is about to fall asleep. Bai Tu opened his eyes, yawned, and felt that what Lang Qi said seemed to make some sense. In addition, she had been completely dependent on Lang Qi for care for the past few days, and her guard against the outside world had been slightly reduced after giving birth. It could also be said that she was not so guarded against Lang Qi. She nodded and agreed to the other party’s proposal.
Lang Qi suppressed his joy and excitement, gently kissed the little rabbit on the head, then put the little wolf cubs on the bed, and without saying a word, moved all the animal skins and fur in the closet out so that Bai Tu could sleep on the bed with the little wolf cubs.
The bedroom curtains were still not drawn. It was a little brighter than inside the closet, but still much darker than outside. Bai Tu urged Lang Qi to put him back in his den.
Lang Qi reluctantly took the little rabbit from his arms and placed it next to the cubs. After a short while, the three little cubs fell into a deep sleep, while the older cub played for a while before falling asleep.
Lang Qi was standing nearby. Without the partition of the closet, he could see clearly every breath the little rabbit took. He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the little rabbit’s ears a few times.
The sleeping black wolf cub was the first to feel another breath. He slowly opened his eyes, saw the big hand on Bai Tu’s head, and rushed up decisively, biting it.
Lang Qi: “…”
Lang Qi lowered his head, staring quietly at the wolf cub that was not even as big as his hand. Even though the other party was the one that looked most like him, and was almost exactly like him when he was a child, it could not change the fact.
Rebellious son! Lang Qi raised his hand and grabbed the black wolf cub by the scruff of the neck. The wolf cub immediately struggled, but not only could he not break free, he couldn’t even turn his head to bite the hand on his back.
Seeing that the other party couldn’t break free, Lang Qi was satisfied. He put the little wolf cub back on the bed and pointed at Bai Tu: “Mine.” This is his partner. He just let the cubs lean on him temporarily, otherwise they would forget who is older and who is younger.
Taking into consideration that Bai Tu was still sleeping, Lang Qi’s voice was very soft, but there was no doubt in his eyes.
It was not known whether the little black wolf cub understood what he said or not. He stared at him without saying a word, bent down and took a step back, walked to Bai Tu and lay down, raised his two front paws to grab Bai Tu’s paws, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lang Qi frowned instantly.
But the wolf cub was holding the little rabbit. If he pulled the wolf cub away at this time, it would definitely disturb the little rabbit’s rest. Lang Qi pondered for a moment, then hugged all the wolf cubs and the little rabbit. Forget it, for the sake of the little rabbit, he would forgive it this time.
Bai Tu felt a little hot while sleeping. He opened his eyes and found that there were not only four or five cubs surrounding him, but also a big hand covering the top. No wonder he felt hot, there was not even any space to breathe.
The cubs needed enough sleep, and Bai Tu didn’t want to disturb them, so he raised his head and gently bit Lang Qi’s hand. Lang Qi noticed it immediately: “Are you hungry?”
Bai Tu raised his paw and pushed the other’s hand. When the big hand left, it was indeed not so hot anymore. Bai Tu moved gently, and the little white wolf cub sleeping next to him noticed it immediately. It snorted coquettishly, and Bai Tu didn’t dare to move for a moment.
Lang Qi frowned and carefully started from the outside, moving the little wolf cubs away one by one.
No matter how clever they were, they were only a few days old cubs. They were full and sleeping soundly, so they didn’t notice that they had been moved. It was not until they woke up that they found that they were the only ones there, and Bai Tu had been taken away by Lang Qi.
Although he didn’t have to feed the cubs himself, Bai Tu still had his work cut out for him. After all, it wasn’t easy to make a living pillow, let alone a pillow for five cubs. Bai Tu didn’t understand why, even though they were sleeping in a row or in a circle, they would all lie on top of him or have all four paws held in his arms while they slept.
However, the long rest these days is not without benefits. Bai Tu is obviously much more energetic today than in the past few days. In the past few days, he was almost sleeping when the cubs were sleeping, but now he wakes up much earlier than the cubs.
It would take a while for him to change back into human form, but with Lang Qi around, Bai Tu was not in a hurry. Moreover, the other party was the cub’s other father, so it was his duty to help take care of it.
Although I love spending time with the cubs, the little free time I have is also precious. Bai Tu huddled in Lang Qi’s arms. He could feel the other’s body temperature through the animal skin. Even in the slightly lower temperature outside, he did not feel a bit cold. Bai Tu stretched out his two front paws, pulled apart the animal skin, and saw what he was doing.
Lang Qi was preparing food for Bai Tu and the cubs in the evening. Only when one raises cubs oneself does one know how troublesome it is. However, Lang Qi particularly likes this kind of trouble. When he thinks that the three cubs are born by Bai Tu, Lang Qi can’t suppress his joy.
Orcs can give birth to cubs either because they particularly like their mates or because they particularly like their cubs. Lang Qi did not think about the difference. Anyway, his mate is his and the cubs are his, and that is enough.
While cooking, she did not forget to kiss Bai Tu: “How about making fish soup tonight?”
Bai Tu nodded. Fish soup was fine. He liked it. The good appetite when he was pregnant seems to have been delayed until now, or it may be caused by the body’s need for nutrition. Anyway, he has a super good appetite now and is willing to eat everything.
Lang Qi couldn’t help but kiss the soft rabbit ears again. He didn’t touch anything during the whole process because there was oil on his hands. He used his arms to tidy up the animal skin and wrapped Bai Tu in it, then he moved closer to the stove again.
In fact, even if the other party didn’t do these, Bai Tu could ensure his own safety. He was just a little smaller in size and not a real cub. He definitely knew that he couldn’t go down casually at this time.
However, Bai Tu still felt appreciated by Lang Qi’s care and simply fell asleep in his arms. The cubs needed to be fed every three or four hours, which meant that he had to wake up every few hours. Even if he didn’t have to feed them himself, he couldn’t get a good rest. This rare rest time certainly couldn’t be missed.
Lang Qi looked down and saw the little rabbit sleeping soundly in his arms. He carefully protected the little rabbit and covered the little rabbit’s ears with his arms.
When Lang Qi brought Bai Tu back to the bedroom from outside, the three little wolf cubs, led by their two older brothers, had successfully escaped from their den made of fur and animal skins and were planning to escape from the second level of prison.
However, Lang Qi had already made preparations where the two wolf cubs were. When he took Bai Tu away, he moved the fence of the second bedroom and placed it outside the den.
It would be impossible to chew the wood again without two or three days. At this time, the two wooden strips were only stained with a little saliva. Lang Qi looked down at the five lawless cubs, stretched out his finger, and tapped on the heads of the two older cubs.
However, the cubs paid no attention to his teachings and grabbed his hands, demanding to find the white map. Seeing that Lang Qi still didn’t hand over the white map, he started shouting anxiously.
Lang Qi warned them: “Tu is asleep, don’t make any noises.”
I don’t know if the cubs understood or not, but they stopped making noises and just kept climbing along his hand. As long as the white map disappears, it is basically in Lang Qi’s arms. Even the white wolf cub who has just opened his eyes knows this.
Lang Qi frowned, and seeing that the cubs were not behaving well, he withdrew his hand, took a basket specially used to hold cubs from the side, carried them all in, and took them outside to eat.
“Tu, about the residential area…” Bai An and Lang Ze and a few others knocked outside for a while but no one answered. Seeing that the entrance of the cave was not completely closed, they thought Bai Tu was busy with other things inside and didn’t hear the sound, so they came in directly. He had come in to talk about something, but when he walked to the place where everyone was discussing things, he saw Lang Qi coming out with a bamboo basket, and his words stopped abruptly.
“Brother???” Langze looked at the bamboo basket that Langqi was holding in disbelief, especially the cubs inside. Although he was a little confused sometimes, he was not completely stupid. The three cubs he had never seen before were obviously smaller than the other two. These cubs must have just been born!
Langze looked at Langqi, then at the bamboo basket, especially the one that looked and looked like Langqi. He felt desperate and finally looked around but couldn’t find Bai Tu. He felt even more desperate: “Brother, how could you do something to let Bai Tu down!” His brother actually had a cub with someone else, and Bai Tu was also driven away by his brother. Langze raised his hand and hit himself on the forehead. He felt sorry for Bai Tu.
Bai An couldn’t believe his eyes. They were recognized as the most loving couple in the tribe. They were inseparable. Lang Qi felt sorry for Bai Tu because he had to eat cold food after going down the mountain, so he even went to get the food himself. How did it become like this now?
Especially since Lang Qi was living in Bai Tu’s cave with his cubs. Bai An was furious. Was he bullying them because there was no one left in the tribe? !
“Chief Lang Qi!” Bai An’s voice was mixed with anger, but he did not act immediately out of consideration for the cubs. “Where did you hide Tu?!”
No wonder, no wonder Tu always said he was not there when they came to look for him in the past few days. It turned out that he had driven them away to take care of his cubs. If they didn’t come again, did Lang Qi plan to live in Bai Tu’s cave with his partner? Bai An looked at the three little wolf cubs and found them more and more annoying. He wondered which wolf from the wolf clan had been coming here frequently recently. Especially the white wolves, every one of them will be remembered.
Bai An, who was furious, completely forgot about the other possibility.The cubs who had just woken up and wanted only the white picture heard a strange and noisy sound, looked up, and saw the black wolf cub protecting the gray and white ones behind him.
Langze looked away. No matter how sensible he was, he was not cute! Not cute at all!
Awakened by the noise outside, Bai Tu didn’t know what was going on. He vaguely heard the groaning of the cub. He grabbed the animal skin and stuck his head out. He wanted to see the cub, but he ended up facing the angry Bai An and Lang Ze.
Bai Tu: “!!!”
Lang Qi: “…”
Bai An: “???”
Lang Ze: “???”
