Chapter 127
Bai Tu was stunned for a moment before asking: “Where are you going?”
“I don’t know.” Ying Mian shook his head, “Let’s walk around, anyway, don’t follow the team.”
Bai Tu frowned, you know, Ying Mian took out five eggs, two more than Hei Xiao.
The eagles have to stay in one place to incubate the eggs, which takes at least three months. Two people may not be able to do it, and it is almost impossible for one person to hatch so many eggs.
Hatching eggs is a very energy-consuming task. Bai Tu heard from Hei Xiao that even if two Eagles are in their prime, they will lose weight after hatching a nest of eggs. The eagle creature in front of him looked similar to him and Hei Xiao, and it laid eggs. Bai Tu deduced that it was a sub-beast like them.
The sub-beasts don’t even have the ability to protect themselves outside. If I didn’t know, it would be fine, but now that I see it, I can’t let it leave no matter what.
“How can you take care of the eggs when you don’t even have a place to go? Were you uncomfortable in the tribe before?” Bai Tu asked. He didn’t have to stay in the White Bear Tribe, he could also stay with them. The problem now was to find out why Ying Mian left the tribe.
“We two are just temporary partners.” Facing Bai Tu, who was also a sub-beast, Ying Mian did not hide his desire to leave, nor did he elevate his status, otherwise he would not have taken out the egg in front of him. Of course, more secretive things were not said, such as the fact that the relationship between him and Xiong Liao was just a transaction, and was not even as good as that of an ordinary temporary partner.
“Ah?” Bai Tu was a little surprised and asked in confusion, “He doesn’t want the cub anymore?” Orcs from all tribes love cubs very much. Of course, the weird ones like Shi Ken don’t count. Judging from Xiong Liao’s performance just now, this person should be a good person. Could it be that he was wrong?
“He won’t want it. The white bear tribe only likes white bear cubs, and all I gave birth to are from the feather tribe.” Ying Mian pointed at the eggs he had already hatched and said, “It’s been four days. I have to leave.” He hasn’t found time to incubate the eggs in four days. If he waits any longer, the eggs will become dead.
Yingmian originally planned to sneak away at noon when everyone in the White Bear Tribe was asleep, but the problem was how to carry these eggs. The eagle sub-beast was much smaller than the normal eagle. He could barely carry five eggs, but if he carried other items, he would not be able to fly.
The animal skins in the tribe were all thick and heavy, including the one he wore. Yingmian originally wanted to tear off a piece to wrap the eggs until he saw the white picture.
Bai Tu’s identity was not the thing that shocked him the most. He was attracted by the tool that Bai Tu used to pretend to be a cub.
It turned out that his vision was good. The new tools were indeed light and strong, and it was no problem to carry them around and fly for several days. Although his speed is slower than that of ordinary eagles, he will definitely find a suitable place to hatch eggs within a few days.
Yingmian was thinking about where to hatch the eggs, while Bai Tu was thinking about how to get Yingmian to go to the Snow Rabbit Tribe.
“What’s the name of your original tribe?” Bai Tu suddenly asked. Logically speaking, since they are the Eagle Tribe, they should have some connection with the Black Hawk Tribe?
Ying Mian looked around and made sure that there was no one else around before he told Bai Tu: “Eagle Five Tribe.”
“Parrot Tribe?”
“Eagle Five!” Ying Mian emphasized, “Don’t ever say parrot, otherwise the little chief will scold you.” The little chief was the original chief of the Eagle Five Tribe.
Afraid that Bai Tu would not believe it, Ying Mian reminded him again: “The little chief has a bad temper, and his mouth is always busy. You must not provoke him, or you will be scolded for a long time.”
Bai Tu: “…” It was originally just a question, but as soon as this sentence came out, it was basically confirmed that it was the parrot. It’s just that the little chief obviously didn’t want to admit it, otherwise his reaction would not have been so big.
Bai Tu looked at Ying Mian and asked again: “Are you of the same race as them?”
“No,” Ying Mian shook his head, “My father is a black eagle, my mother is a white eagle, and I am a white sub-beast.”
Bai Tu nodded to show that he understood, and suggested: “Why don’t you go to our tribe first, there are also eagles there, you can be a companion.” Being a companion is not a lie, the important thing is to let Hei Xiao quickly teach the child how to use the incubator to hatch eggs. The sub-beasts are small in size, and the eggs taken out are not small. If they turn into beast form, it is not certain that all of them can be hatched. There is a high probability that half of them will be protected and half exposed. It is luck that they can finally hatch.
It seems that Yingmian has to leave, so it would be safer to arrange him in his own territory. Bai Tu doesn’t want to see the cubs that could have been born lose the chance to hatch due to some reasons.
“There are Eagle Tribes in the Snow Rabbit Tribe?” Ying Mian was very surprised.
Bai Tu guessed that the Black Eagle Tribe had never flown over the White Bear Tribe. He nodded and told the other party the most important thing: “Don’t run away secretly. Go and tell Xiong Liu before you leave.” He suspected that Xiong Liu didn’t know that Yingmian was a sub-beast, and even more so didn’t know about laying eggs. If Yingmian really left without saying a word, Xiong Liu would probably be worried crazy.
Bai Tu had originally not intended to interfere in the matter between the two, but now it might very well affect the birth of the cubs and the tribe they belong to. Bai Tu didn’t want them to cause irreparable consequences due to a momentary misunderstanding, so he tried his best to help.
Ying Mian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: “Okay.” Although Xiong Liu would not be anxious at all if he saw that he was missing, he still said something.
“We agreed that I will find someone from the Eagle tribe to take you back to our tribe.” Although they were all from the Eagle tribe, Ying Mian was still a stranger to the others. Without a guide, he might not be able to enter the tribe.
“Thank you.” Yingmian carefully put the cloth bag containing the eggs into his arms.
The animal skin he was wearing was quite loose, and he had previously put a few eggs in his arms, but no one could see them. Now that the eggs were laid out flat, they could no longer be found.
When Lang Qi came back with Bai Tu’s favorite food, he saw Bai Tu and the bear orc having a friendly conversation. He glanced at him and walked to Bai Tu: “It’s time to eat.” The weather was hot, and it was even hotter near the fire. Lang Qi brought the food directly over after he prepared it, instead of cooking it next to the fire as he did in winter.
Bai Tu quickly woke up the cubs. Today’s dinner time was much later than usual. The cubs woke up just now and he coaxed them back to sleep.
Both the three little ones and the two big ones were very obedient. Probably because they knew everyone was busy, they would close their eyes and continue to sleep after a little coaxing, which saved him a lot of trouble. The team kept moving and there was no way to stop for the cubs.
Feeling sorry for the cubs who had been hungry for so long, Bai Tu asked Lang Ya to bring a bamboo basket and put it on the stone, put the cubs on it, and then began to share the food. Normally they eat first, and the cubs’ food is just ready for their mouths to eat. But today it is obvious that they have to switch places, as Bai Tu doesn’t want the cubs to continue waiting.
Yingmian did not leave but watched attentively. When he was still a minor, his tribe joined the White Bear Tribe. The White Bear Tribe was not like the Eagle Tribe. They only gave birth to one cub at a time. Yingmian had not seen anyone feeding several cubs at the same time for a long time.
In the end, only one eagle cub will be left from the same litter, but more than one may hatch. The number that survives is the result of competition among the cubs. The parents of the cubs will do their best to raise them, no matter how big or small they are, unless there is really not enough food, then they will give priority to the strong cubs.
Yingmian carefully learned how Bai Tu fed the cubs, and even wrote down the words used to cool them down and coax them.
Lang Qi was unhappy that he was watching there all the time. Bai Tu winked at Lang Qi and whispered to him that this was a sub-beast and there was no need to be on guard against it.
Lang Qi still didn’t relax. It wasn’t uncommon for two sub-beasts to be together. This man had never taken his eyes off Bai Tu since he saw Bai Tu. How could he not be on guard?
Only after all the cubs had eaten their fill, were picked up by Bai Tu to burp them, and then lay together to sleep, and were put into the backpack again, did Ying Mian reluctantly look away: “I’m going back.” He wanted to say goodbye to Xiong Liu as soon as possible.
Bai Tu waved his hand and reminded: “Go, talk nicely and don’t quarrel.” I didn’t know before, but this spring some people in the tribe were looking for mates, and some temporary couples broke up, but not all temporary couples could break up peacefully. In some cases, one party wanted to separate while the other did not. There were many similar incidents, especially in the lion tribe. There were also fights over spouse issues. After all, it was a mess when it came to relationships.
Ying Mian agreed, but it was unclear whether he really listened to it.
When Ying Mian returned to the White Bear Tribe, Xiong Liu was looking for him everywhere, running around like a headless fly. When he saw him appear, he immediately came over, pulled his arm and walked towards the fire: “Hurry, hurry, Chief Bai An gave me a big piece of braised meat, it smells so good.”
Ying Mian thought of the food he saw Bai Tu eating just now, which indeed smelled good. The food in the other tribes was much better than that in the White Bear Tribe.
The orcs of the White Bear Tribe, especially the bears who grew up in the tribe, have good hunting skills. Before this year, the tribe had hardly ever gone hungry. Even this year when the prey has become less, no one in the tribe has starved to death. It’s just that food is not as abundant as before. But the White Bear Tribe has a characteristic: they process food in a very simple way, preserving the original taste of the food to the greatest extent possible.
“Smells good, right?” The two men walked to the fire, and Xiong Liu pointed at the braised meat that was being heated inside, “I saved it especially for you!”
“Yeah.” Ying Mian nodded. It smelled even better when closer, but… Ying Mian looked at Xiong Liao and thought, forget it, this is the last time.
The food Bai An gave was quite a bit, but Xiong Liao didn’t touch any of it and left it all for Ying Mian. But Yingmian’s appetite was not as good as the bears’, and in the end he could only eat a quarter of the food.
Xiong Liao rubbed his hands: “Mian, tonight…”
Ying Mian nodded.
The result of discussion between several tribes and the White Bear Tribe was to walk the rest of the way together. Everyone’s current speed is about the same, and if they walk separately they have to consider whether they will meet again, which is very inconvenient. If one team is resting and the other team is preparing to eat, the team in front will inevitably be affected.
If you walk together, you don’t have to worry about this problem. You become a big team, do everything together, and have the same schedule, so you don’t have to worry about affecting each other.
We walked together for a while in the afternoon. The Snow Rabbit, Blood Wolf and Spotted Leopard tribes walked past a team twice as long as this one. The Yellow Lion, White Lion and Spotted Deer tribes had been in the team for a day. Adding dozens of people did not have much impact. Only the Bear Tribe encountered such a long team for the first time, which was more than the original number of people in their tribe. Fortunately, the tribes were well managed, and there were no conflicts even though there were many people.
Another possibility is that everyone was attracted by another thing. It was nearly dinner time and several tribes were preparing dinner. The orcs of the White Bear Tribe never took their eyes off the orcs of the neighboring tribe.
Barbecue, grilled fish, stewed meat, various unknown types of grass… they were all things they had never eaten before. I originally thought that the grass was taken out at the end because the delicious food before was not enough, but when I saw them eating it, I grabbed it as soon as I saw it, and then I realized that it was delicious.
The orcs of the White Bear Tribe were drooling at the sight. Finally, Bai An couldn’t stand it anymore and went to discuss with Bai Tu. The fact that they were greedy was not the main reason. The main reason was that the orcs from the rabbit tribe did not dare to pick up chopsticks because they were being stared at by the bear tribe. Even if you have lived with the wolf and lion tribes for a long time, you are still essentially influenced by the animal form, not to mention that these are relatively unfamiliar orcs.
Bai Tu is holding the cubs in his arms and looking at the stars. Although it is the same sky, it feels different to look at it from different places. The cubs also like this different environment very much. In particular, no matter where they move to, their father is always there, nestling quietly in Bai Tu’s arms. Sometimes when Bai Tu lies down, they lie on him. In short, the closer the better.
Seeing Bai An, Bai Tu picked up the cub and adjusted his sitting position: “Is there anything, Chief?” In fact, this was too much to ask. It was the way to the market, not an ordinary day. Even if everything had been arranged, Bai An would still be too busy and would not come to find him unless there was something else.
“The orcs from the White Bear Tribe…” Bai An hesitated when he actually got here, having walked over on impulse. But he still said, “They kind of want to eat our food. How about giving them some pickles?” Meat certainly couldn’t be given, but no matter how abundant the food was, it wasn’t enough to give to every single person. Bai An thought about giving out some of the pickles that Bai Tu had just made, as that was the most common ingredient among the several types of food.
“Sure, give us some more meat sauce. We brought extra when we came.” Bai Tu said. Pickles and meat sauce can be stored for a long time. Some time ago, he taught everyone to use beeswax to seal the food. After isolating it from the air, the food can be preserved for a while even in summer. The pickles and meat sauce have a strong taste, and not much can be eaten in one meal, so it doesn’t matter if some are given away.
And the reason why these two are so popular is mostly because there are few types of food here and they are actually not difficult to make. The ingredients for pickles are salt, soy sauce and some wild vegetables that start growing in early spring, such as shepherd’s purse. Meat sauce sounds like it has a lot of meat, but in fact it is only one-third meat, with more being peppers. It would be more appropriate to call it chopped pepper meat sauce.
Both are essential foods in the cafeteria. There are basically no requirements. Whoever wants to eat them can take them as long as there is no waste. I had originally made sauerkraut, but Bai Tu was afraid that it would go bad during the journey, so he didn’t bring it with him, so he could only eat it in the tribe.
Since the quantity is large, Bai Tu will naturally not be stingy with it. Exchanging some inexpensive food for the friendship of a tribe is definitely a matter of more benefits than disadvantages.
Bai An got Bai Tu’s consent before going to get the pickles and meat sauce. After getting them, he went straight to find Xiong Liao. However, Xiong Liao, as the leader, was not with the others, and the young man beside Xiong Liao was not there either.
Unable to find the two people, and not wanting the Bear Tribe to continue watching, Bai An simply took the initiative to divide the two jars of pickled vegetables and meat sauce among the orcs of the White Bear Tribe. Worried that they would not dare to eat them, he specifically pointed to the Wolf Tribe who were eating nearby and said, “These are all for our tribe to eat, you
can eat them without worry.” Then Bai An realized that his words were completely redundant. The orcs of the Bear Tribe didn’t listen to what he said at all. Their eyes were all on the jars in his hands. As soon as the two side dishes were divided, they immediately started to eat. Everyone ate the pickles very quickly. From what I saw just now, they had already learned how to eat them. They could not eat them directly, but had to eat them with meat.
Pickles are not only salty, but also have some other unfamiliar aromas to them. However, it is undeniable that the meat tastes better when eaten with pickles. Especially when they do not spread salt evenly when grilling meat, it is often so salty that it tastes bitter in some places and not salty at all in other places. With pickles, they don’t even need to add salt.
Everyone was more careful when eating the other dish, chopped pepper pork sauce. The bear tribe hibernates most of the winter, and even if they wake up, they will not go out for too long. They know the existence of fire fruit, but have never eaten it, so they are always a little cautious when trying it for the first time.
After tasting it, I found that this food is spicy and fragrant. Some people took a second bite after finishing it, while others shook their heads with red faces and said they couldn’t eat it anymore.
They set out late in the afternoon, and it was already dark when they started preparing dinner. They were delayed for a while, and the noisy dinner did not end until late at night. The leaders did not impose too much discipline, as long as it did not affect the normal departure tomorrow.
Bai Tu waited until the moon was at its highest point before Ying Mian came over. Although he looked a little tired, he was relieved that he was not injured.
I don’t know what Yingmian said to Xiong Liao, but at least they agreed. Bai Tu called an orc from the Black Hawk tribe over and asked him to take Ying Mian away, and reminded him: “Don’t fly too fast.” Ying Mian was still carrying a few eggs.
The Eagle Orc nodded, and left with Ying Mian to find a suitable place to take off.
There are seven or eight orcs from the Black Hawk tribe in the team, all sent by Hei Xiao to facilitate Bai Tu to transmit messages. Bai Tu thought he wouldn’t need it and didn’t want to trouble them at first. But now he decided to listen to Hei Xiao and used it the next day. We can bring people back without the Eagle orcs, but that would be much slower. Not only would we have to walk slowly, but we would also have to be constantly on guard against sneak attacks.
It doesn’t mean you will be safe if you don’t bring food. Some wandering orcs are so hungry that they even eat other orcs. They have been wandering outside for a long time, so they fight crazier than normal orcs. They don’t care about their lives at all, as if they don’t feel pain. They are as dangerous as fallen beasts. They dare not fight against teams with a large number of people. If they encounter a solitary or small team, they will kidnap both the supplies and the orcs.
It is safer to fly there. Not only is the straight-line distance short, but you don’t need to carry other supplies, so you can fly faster. Moreover, the field of vision in the air is wide, and you can see the enemy from afar, so the probability of being attacked is much smaller.
After watching Ying Mian leave, Bai Tu carried the cubs to find Lang Qi. He helped in every way he could. As for how many eaglets could be hatched in the end, it depended on the other party.
Passing by the place where the White Bear Tribe stayed, Xiong Liu seemed to be in a good mood. Next to him were several orcs from the White Bear Tribe, who were discussing how to defend tonight and in the next few days.
Bai Tu was a little surprised. Ying Mian left, and Xiong Liu seemed very happy? It doesn’t look like he just broke up with his partner, but rather like a long-unfulfilled wish has come true.
Bai Tu was not overthinking it. Xiong Liao’s mood was too obvious, and the more slow-witted bears beside him could feel it.
A bear tribe member who was about the same age as Xiong Liao asked after several people had discussed a question: “Chief, are you happy today?” ”
Happy, very happy.” Xiong Liu smiled and couldn’t help rubbing his hands. Today was the most exciting day for him recently. The orcs of the rabbit tribe were really good, and the leader of the rabbit tribe was also good. I heard that the extra food everyone had tonight was sent by the rabbit tribe. Xiong Liu was even happier. He must protect the rabbit tribe well. Such a weak tribe needs the protection of orcs like their tribe.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Bai Tu’s figure. Xiong Liu greeted him cheerfully: “Tu, are you still awake?” He recognized the other person. This was the partner of the wolf leader. Looking at the cub in the other’s arms, Xiong Liu couldn’t help but take a few more glances. The cub was very cute, but he was not envious at all because he also had a partner! ! ! His mate will give him cubs next year! ! ! Xiong Liu couldn’t help getting excited when he thought that he would also have cubs next year.
“Yeah, I haven’t slept.” Bai Tu nodded. He wanted to leave directly, but when he thought about the troubles that Ying Mian might encounter if he didn’t help, he asked, “Does Chief Xiong Liao know that Ying Mian has left the team?”
“I know.” Xiong Liao nodded, “He told me.”
“Okay.” Bai Tu nodded. Since there was no misunderstanding between the two, he was just overthinking it. Sure enough, after staying here for a long time, his thoughts became simpler than before. He thought that Xiong Liao… Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Bai Tu shook his head. It was none of his business what kind of partner the bear leader wanted to find. As long as Ying Mian’s cubs were fine, it was enough. There are many ways to earn points in the tribe. Even if Yingmian is in the Snow Rabbit Tribe, he can raise several cubs by himself.
Without saying anything else to Xiong Liao, Bai Tu went to the wolf tribe.
The cubs slept for a long time during the day and are now very energetic. The temperature at night is lower than during the day, so they are more lively. Being held by Bai Tu, they look at everything with curiosity.
Lang Qi is arranging tasks for the orcs of the wolf tribe. He has developed this habit since this spring. He tries to deal with the affairs of the wolf tribe after meals or after Bai Tu and the cubs fall asleep. Now he is outside, and Bai Tu has not slept today, so Lang Qi comes here to busy himself first.
The wolf tribe has a large number of people, and even with Langze and Langya watching, some things still require Langqi’s approval, such as defense issues.
The night defense has always been a rotation among several tribes, and now with the addition of the White Bear Tribe, the number of patrols needs to be adjusted. It seems like a simple thing, but it requires Lang Qi to determine the candidates and pass them on to each team leader, who then conveys them to his team members. As the leader, Lang Qi must have a good understanding of the personality characteristics of each member of the tribe, so that the wolves who are good at various aspects can be matched together, and then cooperate with the orcs of other tribes to achieve a real defensive effect.
Night watch is not as simple as staying up late. Some people are good at listening and can hear the voices of orcs half a day away. Some people have a better sense of smell and can smell strange breaths around them… A qualified leader can achieve the best result with the least number of people, eliminate the possibility of being attacked by others, and at the same time let his people rest well and keep them in the best condition.
Lang Qi, who was arranging the tasks carefully, was meticulous and serious. Bai Tu did not disturb them. He found a place to sit down and gently coaxed the cubs. Looking up at Lang Qi who was still giving orders, he suddenly seemed to be back to the first time he saw him a year ago. At that time, his first reaction was that this person was too fierce, worthy of being a member of the wolf clan.
Later, when they went to the market together, he communicated more with Langze. Langqi seldom spoke and spent most of the time listening to Langze. Occasionally, he would give Langze a look.
It wasn’t until he took Chinese medicine that Lang Qi’s personality changed, and he was different after he woke up. And now, he saw the original Wolf Qi again.
When he found out that Lang Qi was awake, he thought that the other party would leave immediately. After all, just like the wolf tribe respects their leader, the wolf tribe’s leader usually puts the tribe first. Bai Tu could still tell which was more important, himself or the wolf tribe. He just didn’t expect that Lang Qi’s later choice would be completely different from what he thought.
Bai Tu watched from the side for a long time, until Lang Qi came back after arranging his work. The cubs had fallen asleep on his legs, and he didn’t know what they were dreaming about, smacking their lips from time to time.
Lang Qi didn’t know Bai Tu was coming. Bai Tu’s footsteps were lighter than those of others. He felt Bai Tu’s breath but thought it was just his imagination until he saw it in person.
“How long have you been waiting?” Lang Qi waved his hand to let everyone leave and go about their own business. He walked to Bai Tu and saw that he was only wearing a cotton short-sleeved shirt. He frowned and said, “It’s windy at night.”
“It’s hot wind, not cold.” Bai Tu didn’t feel cold at all. The summer wind and the winter wind are completely two extremes, and the summer wind blows hotter.
Lang Qi didn’t say anything else. He squatted down and carefully put the cubs into the backpack. He held the cubs in one hand and protected Bai Tu with the other hand as he went to rest.
The place where they rested was relatively forward, and because they were with the cubs, even though the temperature was high, Bai Tu still took a tent like last time, but he would open it a little when sleeping, otherwise it would be stuffy and hot.
Back in the tent, Bai Tu let the cubs out. Recently, he had been resting in human form at night outside. During the day, he would sometimes change into beast form and ride on Wolf Qi’s back with a few cubs, and sometimes he would just stay in human form. Anyway, everyone knew their relationship, and Bai Tu didn’t plan to take this kind of mountain road again. The first time I went back and forth for half a month, and my feet hurt for a long time after returning to the tribe.
The advantage of being in human form is that it is convenient to take care of the cubs. Bai Tu brought the bamboo basket and put all the cubs in it. In fact, the cubs can easily crawl out of such a high bamboo basket, but during the time they are crawling, Lang Qi can wake up and catch them back.
This time it is much more dangerous outside than last time, otherwise the leaders would not have arranged various defenses and patrols so nervously, so they cannot find a place alone like last time. Lang Qi still remembered what happened last time. He looked down at the cubs, and his gaze lingered on the gray little wolf cub for a moment.
Bai Tu had no idea what he was thinking. After putting the cub down, he asked in a low voice, “Let’s go to sleep?”
Lang Qi nodded and looked at the cub between them. He endured it again and again, and finally moved the cub to the innermost part, then hugged Bai Tu.
“Isn’t it hot?” Bai Tu expressed his helplessness about the fact that Lang Qi had to hold him while sleeping in his arms in the middle of summer. Lang Qi’s body temperature was already high, and he felt like he was wrapped in a stove.
Lang Qi didn’t say anything, but just rubbed his face, saying with regret: “I can only hold you.” This trip was dangerous, and now he was not outside the team, so he didn’t even have the chance to do anything.
Bai Tu covered Lang Qi’s mouth instantly. Even though he knew that the nearest orc was more than ten meters away, he still felt that he might be heard, so he simply ignored him: “If you like to hug me, then hug me.” After so long, he was used to it. It was a little hot, but not unbearable.
Lang Qi, whose plot had succeeded, rubbed him gently and finally kissed his forehead: “Go to sleep.” He
had a dreamless night. The next morning, when Bai Tu woke up, he and a few cubs were the only ones left in the tent. Lang Qi was gone.
Bai Tu touched the animal skin next to him. It was still a little warm. Lang Qi should have just woken up not long ago and was probably preparing food now.
Thinking of this, Bai Tu yawned, got up, and went to wash up with a basket of cubs.
There was a basin of water outside the tent, and the covered cup next to it was also filled with water. There were also six towels, one large and five small. It was obvious that they were prepared by Lang Qi.
Bai Tu first wet the towel and wiped the cubs’ faces. As soon as the wet towel touched them, the cubs that were originally still unconscious immediately became alert. The wolf looked at Bai Tu with his big round eyes, then looked around, but didn’t see the presence of another father. He asked Bai Tu, but the wolf cub’s voice only sounded cute, and the meaning could only be guessed.
“Father went to cook.” Bai Tu naturally didn’t understand what the cub said, but he could guess 80 to 90 percent of it. The cub’s mind was relatively simple, not as good at disguise as Lang Qi, so he could basically guess what was said.
After hearing the two key points about father and food, the cubs stopped looking around and stretched out their claws to grab Bai Tu and ask him to hold them.
“Wait a minute, I’ll be there soon after I wash.” Bai Tu pulled the cubs one by one to the middle position, and quickly tidied himself up while the cubs were crawling out from the middle.
When Bai Tu put down the towel, Lang Ying, the fastest one, was just one step away.
Just when he was about to succeed, he fell “bang” onto a soft and familiar place after climbing out. Lang Ying looked to the side and found it was Bai Tu’s hand, and he immediately became excited.
“Okay, okay, don’t move.” The two bigger wolf cubs are no longer the same as the previous ones. They weigh nearly two kilograms. It’s okay to hold them with one hand, but it won’t work if you move them around.
After putting the wolf fireflies in, Bai Tu picked down a few others hanging on the side and nodded to them one by one: “Are you all disobedient?”
The cubs thought he was playing with them, so they treated his hand as prey and pounced on it to play.
The two big cubs had sharper teeth, so Bai Tu was careful not to let them bite him. As for the three smaller ones, their grabbing and biting force was very light, so he just let them do as they pleased.
While the cubs were playing, Bai Tu was observing the reaction abilities of several of them. Of the two cubs, the older wolf was a little more steady, while the younger wolf was quicker. The three little cubs are similar. The big black cub is steady, the gray cub is talkative, and the white cub is agile.
Bai Tu looked at the cubs and couldn’t help but think of Langqi and Langze. Do all the wolf brothers have this characteristic?
However, compared with Langze, Langya is much more stable. Bai Tu sighed. Langqi and Langya came out this time. He wondered how Langze was doing in the tribe.
At the edge of the Snow Rabbit Tribe’s territory, Langze, who was digging with his wolf cubs, sneezed and turned into a human form uncontrollably.
“Who scolded me?” Bai Tu once said that he would sneeze when he was scolded.
The little wolves around turned into human forms one after another and shook their heads to defend themselves.
“No.”
“It’s not me.”
“It’s not me either.”
“I don’t have it either.”
They were all digging, why would they be cursing?
“Did I guess wrong?” Langze rubbed his nose. He didn’t find the culprit, so he stopped worrying about it. He looked down at the soil under his feet and said dissatisfiedly, “The color of the soil is wrong.”
Recently, several tribes have sent people to the market, and the number of tribes has decreased. A tribe to the north of the Lion Clan that had never been contacted before is eager to try. Langze discovered twice during his patrol that someone wanted to sneak in, but neither of them escaped his eyes.
He didn’t dare to come over when Lang Qi was around, but started to take action as soon as Lang Qi left. Doesn’t this mean that he doesn’t take Lang Ze seriously?
Langze was not happy with their underestimation of him, so he wanted to make a beast-shaped statue of himself out of cement and place it on the edge of the tribal territory. He would then mark it and tell the other party that this was the territory he was protecting and they should not have any other ideas.
However, even though he had made all the plans, he was refused when he went to ask for cement. The team leader of the cement team told him seriously that the work of the construction team was the most important in the tribe right now, and other uses of cement had to be put on hold, either waiting for the construction team to use it up or getting special approval from the white map.
Now Bai Tu has been on the journey for two days. It will take half a month to get special approval. Langze always thinks about things first, and since he is not allowed to do so, he will just burn it himself. After all, the method of burning cement is not a secret in the tribe.
Langze didn’t expect that when he went to get bricks and limestone with full confidence, he was rejected again. The reason for the rejection remained the same: his turn would come only after the construction team used up the remaining ones.
Is Langze the kind of person who retreats when faced with difficulties? Of course not. The more others say it cannot be used, the more he wants to do it. Since several raw materials are not given to him, he will do it from scratch. First, he builds an earth kiln, then burns bricks, then builds a brick kiln, and finally burns lime himself.
The tribe refused to give him the raw materials for making bricks, so Langze found a piece of open space and dug the clay himself. The several places near his residence were either used to raise prey or to mow the grass. Langze could not move, so he set his sights on the position previously occupied by the Mad Lion Tribe.
This place is some distance away from where we live. When several lion tribes were dividing up the territory, they said that there were few plants here and they didn’t like it. At that time, the Crazy Lion Tribe did not stay here, so you can imagine how many plants there are.
The small number of plants was good news for Langze, because no one else needed them and he could dig as much as he wanted. However, after digging for a long time he didn’t see the clay he needed and his patience gradually wore away.
One of the little wolves suddenly shouted, “Boss is pregnant!”
The other little wolves couldn’t help but look at Langze’s belly.
Langze was concerned about the clay: “What’s gone?”
“This, the color is different.” The little wolf who spoke grabbed a handful of white and gray soil and handed it to Langze.
“It’s not clay.” Langze was disappointed. What the hell is this? He threw the soil in his hand away and said, “No more digging!”
“Pah, pah, pah.” A little wolf who had just turned into a human form accidentally took a mouthful of it. He spit for a long time and said aggrievedly, “It’s so bitter.”
Bai Tu didn’t know what happened in the tribe yet. He saw Xiong Liu running around everywhere.
Xiong Liu was holding a bag of food he had just exchanged from Bai An. He searched for Ying Mian everywhere but couldn’t find him. He was sweating anxiously: “Where is Mian? Have you seen Mian?”
Seeing the other party like this, Bai Tu couldn’t bear it and replied: “Didn’t Mian leave yesterday? I told you.”
“But he would come back in the morning after his rounds.” Xiong Liu became even more anxious, “I’m here, he will definitely come back. If he didn’t come back, he must have met a bad guy.”
Bai Tu: “???” Who gave you the confidence?
Xiong Liao: It’s true love!
Yingmian: It’s a deal.
