Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Lion Five is unwilling to be inferior to others, but other orcs are different. For most orcs, especially those of low status, it doesn’t matter much who is the leader, as long as they can have enough food and water.

Shi Wu gritted his teeth and refused to agree for the position of leader, but the orcs behind him who could not hold on any longer quickly gave in, and some even shouted that they knew where the salt in the tribe was.

Bai An and others had lived for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen so many people get sick together, not to mention the orcs from the Black Haired Tribe. The group of people were more frightened than ever before and worried that they would die. At this time, let alone the leader, even if the Beast God really appeared, it would not be as serious as his own illness.

The reason why Lion Five was able to command others before was based on the premise that other lions recognized him as the leader. Now that everyone is busy with their own affairs, naturally not many people listen to him.

It was not appropriate for a group of people to be here, so Bai Tu selected a few orcs with milder symptoms and asked them to take Bai Qi and others to the Black Bind Tribe to get salt. He then asked the rest of the people and the Yellow Lion Tribe and White Lion Tribe that had rushed over to move the people from the Black Bind Tribe away.

Even though the temperature has begun to rise slowly, there is still a thin layer of frost on the ground. If these people lie on the ground for too long, the melted water will seep into the animal hides. At that time, they will suffer from food poisoning and colds, and the illness will only last longer.

After arranging things here, Bai Tu sent a fast orc back to the tribe to notify the orcs in the tribe to boil water.

The Hot Water Tribe has always had it, but Bai Tu’s purpose is to induce vomiting in these people, so a little bit is not enough.

Many cubs from the Black Haired Man tribe had also eaten the food in the morning and were crying in pain in the cave. When Bai Qi took people to get salt, he also brought the cubs back to the tribe.

Young cubs have low resistance, and even if some of them can transform into human form, they are only about seven or eight years old. Bai Tu took out the few medicines he had and gave them to the cubs. They were just some basic herbal medicines. It would take some time to find the right ones for their symptoms, but they were better than not eating anything.

As for the other orcs, all Bai Tu could do was to force them to vomit by feeding them salt water.

Among the orcs in the Beast God Continent, the Vulture Clan is the one that eats the most carrion. Orcs from other tribes can eat less, but not too much. It will only hurt for a while within the body’s tolerance range, but it won’t be that serious.

The main reason for this large-scale food poisoning is that people have eaten too much spoiled food. The lion tribe has also eaten food that tastes wrong in the past, but the difference is that at that time everyone knew that there was little food, so they tried to eat it sparingly, and they would eat a small piece of meat for several days.

This time when Lion Five said “eat as much as you want”, he didn’t mean he could eat as much as he could. After the meal, even those with small appetites ate several pieces of meat. When Bai Qi went there, there were only some salt and the bones and prey furs that were discarded and piled aside in the cave where the Black Bind Tribe stored food. Lion Five was overconfident, thinking that after a few days of investigation, this operation would be foolproof. He wanted to use this meal to inspire the lions’ fighting spirit, but it was all his own fault.

When Shi Wu saw Bai Qi taking the salt from the tribe to the rabbit tribe, his eyes almost spit fire. However, no one cared about his idea at that time. When the other lions heard that the salt water was useful, they all rushed to drink it.

Salt is important, but that was when everyone was safe. Now that my life is almost gone, who would care whether the tribe has enough salt to eat? What’s more, after today, it’s not certain whether the tribe will still exist.

The orcs were very strong. They were still vomiting and having diarrhea that day, and some even needed help to walk, but they were half recovered the next day.

Even if they recovered, the group of people didn’t dare to move. After all, they were surrounded by orcs from the Snow Rabbit Tribe. It would be terrible if they were mistaken for an attack and beaten up.

On the third day, the orcs of the Lion Clan had basically recovered, and gradually began to split into gangs and factions.

Some people insisted that they were poisoned that day as a punishment from the Beast God, and that attacking the Snow Rabbit Tribe was wrong, and they should obey the arrangements of the Snow Rabbit Tribe. Some people think that Bai Tu is right, that this is because they ate too much spoiled food, but they also think that robbing is wrong.

Some other lion tribesmen think that stealing food is justified. In the past, the Crazy Lion Tribe robbed so many tribes and it was okay, but they were eventually driven away. It’s not like they were the only tribe that stole food. This group is divided into two factions. One believes that it is just bad luck this time, while the other believes that Lion Five is not good enough and wants to change the leader.

Most of the orcs from the Black Mane Tribe were locked up in this place. Due to their large numbers and the fact that they were planning to attack the Snow Rabbit Tribe, everyone neglected the issue of food. A group of Lions hadn’t eaten for two days and even breathing felt bitter.

The hungrier they were, the more irritable they became, plus it was cold and they couldn’t sleep. In short, everything they saw was unpleasant to them. They had originally split into several groups, but for some unknown conflict they started fighting.

Due to the frustration and anger of the past few days, the groups showed no mercy and even turned into beasts during the fight. By the time the guards and other people arrived, some people were already injured.

Unexpectedly, the person who was most seriously injured was Shi Wu. The other lions only suffered minor injuries. Shi Wu was originally scratched on the neck by Lang Qi. When a group of people were fighting, someone was dissatisfied with Shi Wu’s long-standing coercive methods and attacked him in the chaos, causing the wound on his neck that had begun to stop bleeding to split again. By the time the parties stopped, a lot of blood had already been flowed.

Some orcs who supported Lion Five began to panic. Strictly speaking, they were the ones who started the incident today. These people had more or less some relationship with Lion Five and were used to showing off their might in the tribe. Now they couldn’t stand other people just staying here obediently without resisting, so they wanted to order the other orcs to break out through Lion Five.

The others were not fools either. In the past, they would still listen to their own tribe if they said they would attack the rabbit tribe, but in the current situation, wouldn’t it be courting death if they wanted to rush out? Moreover, that group of people could only urge them with words, and they didn’t even dare to resist.

After the two sides started arguing, Shi Wu wanted to use his status to suppress those disobedient orcs as he did before, but now there were far more people who disobeyed him than those who listened to him, so he was naturally beaten up.

As Lion Five became seriously injured, the orcs who wanted to cause trouble became quieter, as no one wanted to be the next Lion Five.

When Bai Tu heard the news, he was discussing with Bai An about building a new brick kiln. There were quite a few brick kilns now, but it was obviously not enough to build so many houses. The raw materials cannot be reduced. Since the brick kiln is not enough, we can add more. Anyway, we have built so many kilns of various types and we have already become familiar with it.

I was busy hearing the news that the Black Haired Tribe was fighting among themselves. I was speechless for a moment. The orcs of the same tribe could even fight each other. It was quite troublesome.

Bai Tu looked at the arrangements in his hands, pondered for a while, and decided not to rest and to get to work. The fact that they can fight proves that their bodies have recovered. In this case, there is absolutely no reason to let them sit idle.

“Send them all to make bricks.” It would be a waste to not use the ready-made labor force. It would be easy for them to cause trouble if they were left idle anyway.

After being sent to work, the orcs of the Black Mane Tribe indeed became much more obedient. On the one hand, Lion Five was seriously injured, which made the orcs close to him much more obedient. On the other hand, when they arrived at the work place, they found that there were many lions and vultures.

So many people failed to resist, so they should just do their work well.

The orcs from the Black Mane Tribe also saw familiar faces here, namely the lions that had been captured by the Yellow Lion Tribe before.

When Shi Su suddenly attacked, the Black Haired Tribe did not react in time. All the orcs who were captured were working here. The difference was that the work done by these orcs was dirtier and more tiring.

Seeing them, several people from the Black Haired Tribe began to sweat coldly and couldn’t help but feel grateful.

However, their luck did not last long. A few days after the orcs from the Black Mane Tribe were captured, Shi Su brought several previously imprisoned lions to find Bai Tu.

Shi Su came here this time to let these lions identify the cubs. Originally, this could have been done when these lions were brought back, but these people had one thing in common, that is, they were relatively weak and were pregnant with cubs.

Being physically weak means being unable to withstand stimulation. Regardless of whether they are telling the truth or not, the orcs who have lost their cubs will certainly be excited when they see lion cubs. The Black Mane Tribe has sent away so many cubs, and the Snow Rabbit Tribe has only a dozen lion cubs that have not been successfully recognized by their relatives, which means that someone’s cubs must have been lost.

Great mood swings can be more harmful to the body, so after discussing it, Shi Su and Bai Tu decided to keep it a secret from the lions for now. When they have given birth to their cubs and are in better health, they will tell them the news that there are still cubs alive.

Originally, recognizing the cubs was a happy thing, but when they thought about the fact that some cubs had lost their lives forever because of Shi Wu, the group of people hated Shi Wu even more.

A lion who didn’t find his cubs was looking at the remaining lion cubs and suddenly said to Bai Tu: “Can I exchange food for my partner?”

Bai Tu was stunned for a moment. Most of the people rescued by Shi Su were imprisoned by their partners, and the lion in front of him was no exception.

What surprised him was that even after all this, the other party actually wanted to change his partner?

Not only Bai Tu, but everyone else was also surprised by what the other party said. Shi Su’s expression was a little bad: “Shi Yu!”

If it was anyone else who said this, Shi Su would not be so angry. What made him angry was that the person who said this was his sister, his biological sister. In order to rescue the other party, he risked getting injured and led his people into the Black Haired Tribe.

As an older brother, he should save Shiyu, but what about the other people in the tribe? What would the tribesmen in the tribe think when they heard Shi Yu’s words? Is she worthy of those people who worked so hard and risked their lives to save her?

Shi Yu ignored his brother’s words and still looked at Bai Tu: “I can make medicine. Although I don’t know as much as you, I have studied it for a long time. I also know many plants and how to poison a person. Can I use herbs and food to get him back?”

Bai Tu looked at Shi Su, then at Shi Yu, and paused for a moment.

When he first heard Shi Yu’s words, he was indeed shocked, but now, especially when he heard Shi Yu say that he knew herbs and poisons, Bai Tu suddenly felt that what Shi Yu wanted to do might be different from what they thought.

“What do you want to do?” Bai Tu asked.

Shi Yu looked at him, considering the probability that he would agree to her. After a long time, Shi Yu thought it through and said slowly: “I don’t want him to have such a good life.”

Shi Su had many contacts with the Snow Rabbit Tribe. Even if Shi Yu didn’t follow them, she knew some things. She knew that even if he was punished to work, he would not go hungry. Shi Yu felt that this was too easy for him. She didn’t know when her cub lost his life, but the cub’s father who gave the cub away had no worries about food and drink. She didn’t want him to be so comfortable.

Bai Tu thought for a moment and said: “I don’t want food, but you can take the person with you. Take good care of yourself and come over to help collect herbs in the summer.”

He has been locked up in a cave for a long time, filled with orcs in the same condition as himself. The cubs they give birth to are taken away directly, and they have to get pregnant with a second one before their bodies have fully recovered. These people have more or less developed some psychological problems.

It’s just that some people can still hold it in, but some have already collapsed. Shi Yu is obviously in the latter situation. After a series of blows before, even if he was taken back to the tribe, the psychological scars would not be healed so quickly. Now knowing that the cub has died is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back. If she is not given a way to vent her anger, her condition will become more and more serious.

Moreover, Shi Yu’s partner really didn’t do anything good. He imprisoned his partner and sent the cub away even though he knew what would happen to him. These are things that no normal person would do.

When Shi Su attacked the Black Haired Tribe before, Shi Yu’s partner took advantage of the chaos to escape, and this time the other party also played an important role in the attack on the Snow Rabbit Tribe.

Regardless of whether they are from the perspective of the Yellow Lion Tribe or the Snow Rabbit Tribe, the other party is a heinous villain. As long as Bai Tu is sure that Shi Yu is not wanting the person back because he feels sorry for his partner, he is willing to give it to him.

So far, there are still many orcs working in the tribe, so they don’t need this one.

Shi Yu didn’t expect Bai Tu would actually agree, and there was a little more light in his eyes.

Although they are all from the Black Mane Tribe, the orcs captured at different times have different types of work.

The people who were sent here by Shi Su before did heavier and more tiring work. After all, they were used by Shi Su to exchange for food, and they themselves were guilty of heinous crimes.

Although the members of the Black Haired Tribe who were captured this time did not do anything wrong, some of them were against Shi Wu’s invasion of other tribes’ territories. For the sake of these people, Bai Tu did not assign them very heavy tasks before all the personnel were divided into groups.

Of course, there is still some gap between the work done by the Snow Rabbit Tribe and the Blood Wolf Tribe, but at least it is much better than the lions sent by Shi Su.

Shi Yu’s partner was shocked after seeing the living conditions of Shi Ken and others. He was extremely grateful that he was not caught last time. At the same time, he gloated and mocked Shi Ken for cherishing his partner so much, but in the end, he was not even as good as him.

Less than half a day after he had said those mocking words, he was brought in front of Shiyu. The moment he saw Shiyu, he immediately understood that the other party had come to rescue him. The orc, overwhelmed by the huge surprise, completely ignored the expressions of other people around him.

“Yu! I knew you would come. Are you going to pick me up?”

There was no expression on Shi Yu’s face. Her lips moved slowly, as if outlining a smile: “Yes, I’ll take you back.”

After Shi Yu brought her partner back, Bai Tu immediately divided the orcs of the Black Haired Tribe into several teams.

A separate team that had participated in the imprisonment incident before, this time took the initiative to attack a team of orcs from the Rabbit Tribe. They had no intention of attacking other tribes, but were a team of orcs who had to obey due to the oppression of Shi Wu and others.

In short, the fewer mistakes you make, the easier the work is and the better the salary is. After being divided into several teams, the number of people in each team is reduced, making management easier. Those who originally tried to take advantage of the situation can no longer be lazy, and work efficiency is improved.

In the Snow Rabbit Tribe, no one eats for free except the cubs.

Bai Tu didn’t spend too much time on the orcs of the Black Haired Tribe. After the weather got warmer, there were more and more things to do in the tribe and he had no time at all.

However, no matter how busy he was, Bai Tu still took the time to check on Lang Qi’s condition. The last time he fought against Shi Wu, he felt that the opponent was more powerful than before, and after observation, it turned out that it was not an illusion.

They are still in animal form, and are stronger than in the early winter. However, in order to take care of the cubs recently, they have been resting in human form most of the time, so it is not easy to see.

Bai Tu felt relieved only after he was sure that the wolf would not feel any discomfort after using its beast form to beat people.

Time always passes quickly when you are busy, especially when there are several cubs to take care of. Bai Tu felt that the two cubs had just learned how to transform into human form, and before he knew it, more than a month had passed.

The ice and snow outside melted and seeped into the soil. In just a few days, green buds slowly began to appear on the trees.

The spring in the Beast God Continent is very short, and Bai Tu is reluctant to waste even a single day. He plans to plant all the plants that can be grown in spring, including spring wheat, various beans, rice purchased at the last market, sweet potatoes, and various fruits.

While the weeds had not yet grown, Bai Tu arranged for people to plant food and separated a team of orcs to take care of the crops here.

At that time, no one would have thought how important these inconspicuous plants would be in the future.

Spring weeds are a nuisance to the orcs who plant and care for crops, but they are a blessing for another team: the farming team.

Since winter, the prey in the tribe have basically all stayed in the breeding area. Their weight has increased rapidly, and their appetite has increased day by day. The hay prepared before winter has been consumed very quickly and is about to run out. The growth of wild grass outside has made the orcs who raise prey feel relieved, as they finally don’t have to worry about how to find food for the prey.

Although the prey could be killed and stored to be eaten slowly, after being used to eating fresh food, no one would want to eat food that had been stored for a long time. In addition, what happened in the Black Haired Tribe also made everyone feel fortunate that they did not have to eat so much spoiled food. In the past, conditions did not allow it, so we were lucky if we had enough prey to eat and would not wait for it to go bad. Now we catch prey when we need to eat, and a whole prey can be eaten in two or three days at most, and it will not go bad.

New weeds are popping up. Although there are few of them at first, combined with the remaining corn stalks and other food, they can last until the weeds are everywhere.

In the season of lush grass and singing birds, even the cubs grow much faster. When Bai Tu was feeding the two cubs, he obviously found that they had gained a lot of weight and looked plump when he held them in his arms.

“It’s a pity there is no scale.” Bai Tu muttered. Now the tool people use to measure quantities is bowls, but the sizes of the bowls are not exactly the same. However, no one cares about this difference. There is no more precise measuring tool.

Bai Tu thought about it and decided to do it himself, mainly because he wanted to intuitively feel the changes in the weight of the cubs.

Before, when these two cubs were in animal form, I just felt that they had grown up, but I didn’t have any idea of ​​how much bigger they were. Now that they have turned into human form, it would be helpful to record them as a reference.

Without batteries and other items, don’t even think about using an electronic scale. Bai Tu made an old-fashioned lifting scale. He tied a rope near the place where the weight needed to be weighed, used the principle of leverage, and added a relatively small weight at the back. The weight of the item to be weighed can be determined based on the distance.

It sounds simple, but there are more than a few problems in the actual production.

The first question is how heavy a pound is. If this question were answered in a different time and space, it would definitely be easy to answer. A 500 ml bottle of water, a packet of salt, two bottles of milk… In short, there are reference objects everywhere.

But now, none of those are available. Bai Tu thought that no one had the concept of how much a pound weighs anyway, so he might as well choose a similar reference object. After all, it was just to make it more convenient for his own records. What he wanted was the growth rate.

Bai Tu took out two small bowls for feeding the cubs. Originally, the tribe did not have such small bowls. However, the appetite of the newborn cubs was too small. If a large bowl or plate was used to hold the goat milk, there would only be a shallow layer at the bottom of the bowl. The goat milk on the other side would have been cold before the cubs had even taken a few sips.

In order to make it easier for the cubs to use, Bai Tu asked the carpenter to make a full set of small bowls, small plates and small spoons, and the cubs’ tableware was stored separately, which was convenient and cleaner, and the cubs would not get sick easily.

Some germs that have no effect on adult orcs may make the cubs sick if they encounter them. The high probability of cubs dying in the past was also due to the messy living environment.

In order to make it easier to clean up, the sizes of these tableware are all the same. Bai Tu took out this small bowl, which can hold about half a pound of water.

Bai Tu went to the blacksmith and asked for a few iron plates. He also got a straight piece of wood, drilled holes in it, tied ropes on it, and then began to draw various weight marks.

Use two small bowls of water as the first scale line, and draw another line for every additional weight of two bowls of water. In the end, the scale can weigh up to five kilograms of items.

This scale is used to weigh a few small cubs. Bai Tu used the same method to make two large ones, one that can weigh up to 20 kilograms and the other that can weigh up to 50 kilograms.

However, the largest size one at the back is not for holding in the hand, but for hanging on the wall.

The three scales are arranged from small to large and can be used until the cubs are at least ten years old.

Now that the finished product has been made, Bai Tu thought about it and decided to teach the carpenters and make more for use in various parts of the tribe, such as the cafeteria.

Nowadays, cooking is passed down by word of mouth. If there is a new orc working in the cafeteria, when Tu Mu or other orcs are cooking, the new orc will watch from the side first, and after learning, he will try to do it himself. However, at this time, there must be someone watching next to him until he has mastered it.

Bai Tu had seen them take seasonings. They mainly did it at will. For example, when it came to salt, Tu Mu grabbed a handful, and the orcs who followed him also grabbed a handful. The only difference was that the orcs of different ages, genders, and races had different-sized palms, so the taste of the salt varied from salty to light.

Most orcs don’t care. After all, they couldn’t get salt before, but now they can tolerate saltier or lighter flavors, but they are not as delicious as those with the right taste.

After adjustments were made, it was basically served with a spoon, but there was still a problem. Not all foods were suitable for a full spoonful of salt. If the amount of food in a pot was only two-thirds of the previous amount, or only half, it would be difficult to add seasoning.

With a scale, you don’t have to worry about these things. You can directly specify how much salt to put in one pound of meat, and weigh the seasoning according to the weight of the pot of meat to ensure that the taste will be the same as before.

The carpenters’ efficiency was amazing. Bai Tu had just told them the production method, and the finished products were delivered in less than two days.

The pots in the cafeteria are large, and the scales used to weigh the meat are of course also large. There is no problem at all in weighing one hundred kilograms of food.

With the scale, the taste of the food in the cafeteria has become much more uniform. Not only the three meals a day, but also the snacks have a more stable taste than before.

When I didn’t have it, I felt it was useless. But now that I have it, I find it can be used in many places, such as the appetite of the cubs. Bai Tu specially made an extra small one to weigh how much five cubs eat in a day.

Bai Tu especially likes to record the physical changes of the cubs, including but not limited to weight, height, food intake, etc. In short, he writes them down and keeps them for later review when he has nothing to do. Like all new parents, he wanted to record the daily changes of the cubs. If he used a mobile phone, the photo album would probably be full of photos of the cubs. I always feel that time flies. The most obvious change is that the two older cubs are slowly starting to learn words that they couldn’t say before.

In addition to the words “dad” and “uncle” at the beginning, the cubs also learned words such as “hold”, “thirsty”, and “hungry”. After mastering these words, they were hardly idle. As long as they saw someone next to them, they would start to make requests.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or the two cubs did it on purpose, but the requests made by Bai Tu and Lang Qi were completely different. When Bai Tu came over, the most common requests he made were hug, cuddle, and kiss. And if Lang Qi was around, he would be thirsty or hungry from time to time, and would have endless requests, so they didn’t want him to disturb Bai Tu from accompanying them.

Lang Qi has lived for so many years, it would be strange if he didn’t see the little thoughts of the two cubs. However, he didn’t bother with them because they were so young.

It has been almost two months since they transformed into human form, and there is one thing that has not changed at all for the two cubs, and that is the word “father”. They still have not learned it.

Lang Qi always felt that he had taught the two cubs too few times, so they didn’t remember.

Bai Tu was skeptical about this statement. Before he could say anything to the other party, he heard Bai Qi calling him outside.

“I’ll go out and take a look. You look after the cub.” Bai Tu said. He has been busy lately and it was more than once or twice that he was suddenly called away when he was accompanying the cub. However, Bai Tu tried his best to avoid being away from Lang Qi. As long as the cub was awake, at least one person would stay in the cave to guard it.

The cub was originally playing with Bai Tu. After Bai Tu was called out, there were only them and Lang Qi in the cave. The gray-haired cub’s fair face wrinkled into a ball. As his older brother, the black-haired cub raised his hand and patted his belly, trying to coax him to sleep.

The gray-haired cub had just calmed down for a while when a figure appeared in front of him. The two cubs closed their eyes at the same time.

Lang Qi looked at the two cubs who pretended to sleep when they saw him coming. He stretched out his finger and tapped their cheeks: “Call father.”

Their pretending to sleep failed. The two cubs opened their eyes and looked at Lang Qi with their big round eyes, but did not call.

Lang Qi was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to speak again, the gray-haired man suddenly thought of something and slowly opened his mouth.

“Mom~Mom!”

Lang Qi: “???”

Not understanding the meaning of these two words, Lang Qi just felt that something was wrong. He originally planned to ask Bai Tu after he came back, but Bai Tu went out because there was some problem with the arrangement in the residential area. When he came back after resolving the issue, it was already evening. Lang Qi, who hadn’t seen Bai Tu for most of the day, had long put that problem behind him.

It was a few days later that Bai Tu heard the cub calling Langqi “Mom” and he almost laughed out loud.

The pronunciation was clear and I definitely did not hear it wrong.

But even if Bai Tu didn’t laugh out loud, Lang Qi still noticed something was wrong and grabbed him to ask what was going on.

Bai Tu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and explained the meaning of the name “mother” and the whole story of how the cub learned this word.

After failing to teach the two cubs to call him uncle, he gave up struggling. After all, the name “dad” was not bad, and he and Lang Qi treated the cubs the same way.

A few days ago, he was in a good mood and sang a few lines of the song that used to be played on the children’s rocking cars at the entrance of the shopping mall while coaxing his baby.

The cub’s learning ability is amazing, but sometimes the content of its learning is not quite right. He said at least a dozen names in total. Who knows how the cub could choose one that fits the name very well but is of a different gender.

“No way, hahaha.” Bai Tu waved his hands. Lang Qi had been teaching the word “father” for at least a month, but the two cubs have never called him that. He only said the word “mother” once, and the cubs remembered it clearly and called him that.

If it weren’t for the fact that the cubs were young, Bai Tu would have suspected that the two of them did it on purpose. They used to call him uncle, and now they call him mom. In short, they just didn’t follow Lang Qi’s ideas.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with the name. The main thing is that ever since Lang Qi knew the meaning of dad, he has been obsessed with the word “father”. He teaches the two cubs whenever he has the chance, and it seems that he will not stop until he teaches them well.

But it is just so strange, the more you want something, the less you get it. Bai Tu wants to laugh every time he sees Lang Qi’s depressed expression.

Lang Qi lowered his head slightly and looked at Bai Tu, who had a smile in his eyes. While he was not paying attention, he quickly approached him and finally bit the corner of his mouth.

“The cubs are here!” Bai Tu instantly put away his smile and patted him. It was outrageous that the five cubs were all next to them. The two older ones had been sleeping less recently and were looking at them with curiosity.

Noticing that Bai Tu turned to look at them, the two cubs opened their hands.

“Dad~Dad~”

“Come, let daddy hold you.” Bai Tu picked up the cub and reminded Lang Qi, “The innermost circle of the residential area has been designed. Go and choose a house first.”

The new residential area does not only have the function of living, but like the current residence, it includes all the activities needed for daily life. The difference is that it is an expanded version.

An area in the center of the residential area is reserved for storing food, which is the safest and most secure place.

The other side of the central area is used for discussing things and their daily workspace. Once everyone moves there, it will be inconvenient for people to come to the office for things like they do now. It will be more convenient to set up several separate rooms for work.

The outer circle of the center is the school, comprehensive kindergarten, canteen and other buildings, and further out are the residential areas.

The tribe will arrange living locations uniformly, but there will be no rigid requirement for where to live. After dividing into approximate areas, everyone will have a range of free choices. They will be ranked from high to low according to the points. The higher the points, the earlier the time of choice.

In fact, it doesn’t matter where you live, it’s just that people will feel more comfortable if they are given the right to choose. Choosing your neighbors well before moving in can also avoid some minor frictions.

Bai Tu didn’t have much of an opinion on where to live. He just thought that since everyone else had chosen, he should let Lang Qi choose as well.

When Lang Qi heard about choosing a place to live, his expression froze. Bai Tu, who was coaxing the two cubs, didn’t notice it. When he finished coaxing the cubs and went out, Lang Qi was still staring at the drawing board in a daze.

There are two drawing boards. One is a thumbnail of the overall new residence, including which side is the granary, which side is the canteen, etc. The second one is several rows of houses, and Lang Qi needs to choose where they will live.

Bai Tu saw that Lang Qi’s eyes didn’t seem to be on the second drawing board, so he bent his fingers and tapped them: “Come back to your senses.”

Lang Qi came back to his senses and looked at him.

“Isn’t it just choosing a house? Is it so difficult?” Bai Tu pointed at the rows of houses, suspecting that the other party didn’t understand the markings next to them, and explained, “There are more wolves in the south and more rabbits in the north. An and Chen should live here. Ze likes to play with the little wolves, so it is more likely that he lives here…”

In fact, they are all in this area, and there are only these few choices. The difference is nothing more than whether it is closer to Bai An or closer to Lang Ze, and the distance refers to whether it is separated by one yard or five yards. In his opinion, there is no difference, just one end of the street and one end of the street.

Lang Qi stared at him, not looking at where he was pointing, nor saying anything.

“What’s wrong?” After all, they have lived together for so many days, Bai Tu can generally guess how Lang Qi feels, and he is obviously not in a good mood now.

“There is no house for you here.” Lang Qi said slowly. In order not to live close to him, you are unwilling to live in a place like this next to the kindergarten?

Bai Tu: “???”

“Do we have to be so far away?” Lang Qi asked. Actually, what he wanted to ask was whether moving to a new residence was just an excuse and the real purpose was to stay away from him.

Lang Qi remembered that Bai Tu planned to build a residential area, which was not long after he recovered. Thinking about his interactions with Bai Tu during the period of amnesia, and then thinking about the period from the time he recovered his memory to now, Lang Qi couldn’t help but begin to doubt.

Maybe Bai Tu doesn’t like him now, but him when he lost his memory. There is also a possibility that Bai Tu doesn’t like him regardless of whether he has lost his memory or not, otherwise he wouldn’t be so eager to stay away from him.

Once this thought arose, he could not control it, especially since the other party was now planning to drive him away. Lang Qi tried hard to control himself and asked as gently as possible.

Bai Tu: “???”

Bai Tu took a deep breath and said unhappily: “What? You already have five cubs, and you still want to separate them?” He finally understood that he must make his words clear when facing Lang Qi, otherwise he would go astray in a moment.

Didn’t he shorten the sentence “go choose our house” to “go choose a house”? Lang Qi, on the other hand, immediately imagined separation. If he had come a little later, would the other party have thought of never seeing each other again?

No matter how upset he felt inside, Lang Qi would not ignore Bai Tu’s words. When he heard this, he was shocked and looked at Bai Tu in disbelief.

It was the first time he heard the word “separation”, but after living with Bai Tu for half a year, he understood that some words could be broken down and explained and then put together again. The word “separation” obviously meant living separately. Bai Tu said this, did he not plan to live separately from him?

This surprise came too suddenly. Lang Qi stood up instantly. Just as one hand touched Bai Tu, a familiar voice came from outside.

“What cub?” Hei Xiao walked in slowly.

When the weather is not so cold, Bai Tu likes to do things in the outermost room. The place where the table is placed can get sunlight at noon. Of course, being able to get sunlight means it is facing the outside.

The drawing board was taken out by Bai Tu when Bai An came over just now, and he placed it on the table. Since it did not involve any privacy, the two of them did not enter the room. However, they did not expect Hei Xiao to come over.

However, the surprise only lasted for a moment. When Bai Tu saw Hei Xiao, he was just happy. In total, the two hadn’t seen each other for three or four months.

“Brother!” Bai Tu went forward.

With this name, Hei Xiao instantly forgot what he had just heard. He hugged Bai Tu and was reluctant to let go after a long while.

“You’ve lost weight.” Hei Xiao looked at Bai Tu and moved his eyes away from the corner of his mouth. Even though he had seen how the two of them got along before, he still felt helpless seeing his innocent little brother being taken away by the big-tailed wolf.

“No.” Bai Tu shook his head quickly. He really wasn’t thinner, it was just that when they separated before the winter, the weather was a little colder than it is now, so he was wearing more clothes. Now the temperature is mild, and it’s not cold at all in the cave, so he wore less clothes.

However, in Hei Xiao’s eyes, Bai Tu just lost weight. He rubbed his head with heartache: “I brought the rubber you asked for last time. When I was returning to the tribe, I also encountered a white plant that looked like fluff. I thought you might like it, so I brought it to you.”

Hei Xiao knew that Bai Tu liked some items that no one had seen or were used to ignoring. When he saw the plant on the way back to the Black Eagle Tribe from the Red Eagle Tribe, he stopped to pick it. It feels comfortable to touch, but it’s in clumps and can’t be used. However, Hei Xiao believes that Bai Tu must know what it is. There is nothing in the entire Beast God Continent that Bai Tu doesn’t recognize.

The rubber that he had been longing for finally arrived, and Bai Tu was overjoyed: “Thank you, brother!”

After not seeing each other for a few months, Hei Xiao had a lot to say to his younger brother, but he had just said two words when he vaguely heard the voice of a cub.

Bai Tu also heard it and could only temporarily stop talking with Hei Xiao: “I’ll go see the cubs first.”

Hei Xiao nodded, remembering that the two of them seemed to be talking about cubs just now. Thinking of the two cubs he brought on the way to the market, he was a little surprised that so many days had passed, and he was still helping to raise them.

Bai Tu saw Hei Xiao still standing outside and waved: “Come inside, it’s windy outside.” The place at the cave entrance is very nice during the day and warm when basking in the sun, but it is a little windy at night. Now that there is no sun, it is still warm in the room inside.

Hei Xiao also wanted to spend more time with Bai Tu, so he nodded and followed him. The previous moment he was happy that his brother was thinking of him, and the next moment, he saw a group of cubs on the bed through the bedroom door from the middle room, and Hei Xiao was stunned.

Even though there was a fence blocking the view, he would never be mistaken; it was a group of cubs, not just two.

“What is this?” Hei Xiao turned to look at Bai Tu with an expression of disbelief, “What are these?”
