Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 51

Chapter 51

The wolves that appeared this time were different from the previous ones. Most of them appeared in their original form, and only one-third were in human form. They carried something on their backs and held long poles used by the picking teams in their hands. However, no matter whether they were in human or animal form, they all had a notable feature: they were swollen.

Seeing the white picture, the large version of Langze in the lead immediately pounced over, howling in grievance, trying to seek comfort.

There is an area in the territory of the Blood Wolf Tribe that is equivalent to a restricted area. Hunting teams and picking teams generally do not go there. It is not that there are no prey and fruits there. On the contrary, there are a lot of fruits in that area, as well as some beautiful plants that no one recognizes. Every summer, orcs who want to find a mate venture over there to pick them.

The reason it is called a restricted area is that there are many insects that can hurt people, causing most orcs to take a detour when passing by. But there is a small group of people who do the opposite. They are the Langze team. This group of little wolves discovered a good thing a few years ago.

They didn’t go there on purpose at first. The ten-year-old wolf cubs didn’t want to be detained in the tribe, but they were still young and were not allowed to hunt, so they could only fight for fun. They were driven out of the tribe for being too noisy. The bored cubs broke into the restricted area, and during the fight they tasted something flowing down from the tree. They were instantly shocked. The group of cubs didn’t care about fighting, and gathered around the tree to eat their fill. Even the circling bees couldn’t stop them.

When their bellies were full, they began to feel the pain in their bodies. Then they remembered what the adult orcs in the tribe had told them: they could not go to the restricted area because there were biting insects in it. The group of little wolves suddenly felt that they were going to die, so they risked their lives to eat two more bites, and then ran to a corner at the foot of the mountain where they quietly waited to die.

When the tribe was preparing to distribute food, they discovered that a group of wolf cubs were missing. The entire tribe was alarmed and searched everywhere. Finally, they found the wolf cubs who had turned into animal forms and huddled together in the most secluded cave at the foot of the mountain. They thought that since they were going to die, they might as well die together.

Before the adult orcs had time to be happy, they saw big swellings all over the little wolves’ bodies. For a moment, they didn’t know whether to teach them a lesson or to be afraid. Some of those biting insects could bite people to death! That’s why adult animals try to avoid that place, but these little wolves are different. They stayed there for so long.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any insects that could bite people to death. The adult wolf scolded them and repeatedly told them not to go there again. They deducted a meal and the matter was over.

However, the adult wolves at that time obviously did not see the true nature of the little wolves. Not having dinner did not affect them much. They all ate a lot of sweet food, but the swelling on their bodies still hurt. The group of little wolves were quiet for a while. After their wounds healed, the little wolves gradually began to become restless.

Sweet food is so tempting. It will hurt after you get bitten, but you have to endure it. Then you can have a really sweet meal, it’s worth it!

A group of eager little wolves set out quietly again, and waiting for the adult wolves were another group of swollen cubs.

The second time he made a mistake, he was not as easy to deal with as the first time. From the leader to the last, everyone was beaten. However, the lively little wolf always remembered food but not beatings. Not long after his injury healed, he had new ideas.

This time they learned their lesson and did not wait until they were full before leaving like they did the previous two times. Instead, they quietly took the tribe’s tools and brought the food outside the restricted area before eating. This way, the chance of being bitten was much smaller, and the number of times they were beaten was also reduced. Later, the other wolves found that they had gone there so many times without encountering any danger, so they did not burn the insects as they had originally thought.

But the little wolves soon discovered another thing: there was not much food left!

You have to know that the previous ones were accumulated over the past few years. The little wolves have big appetites, and they will not have enough to eat if they eat too much. Although they don’t understand the principle of sustainable development, they also know that they can’t go on like this, so they made a plan to eat only twice a year, once before winter and once after the rainy season.

We could have gone there after the rainy season this year, but the food made by Bai Tu was so delicious, there was delicious food almost every day, and the group of little wolves instantly forgot about the sweet food. After all, no matter how delicious the food is, they don’t like it as much as they did at the beginning. In the past, there were only barbecues and fruits in the tribe, but now there are fried meat, stewed meat, steamed meat… all kinds of ways of eating it are surprising.

After eating a lot, the little wolves recently thought of one thing: Bai Tu has never eaten sweet food! You know, every kind of food tastes different, and sweetness is also different. In addition, without Lang Qi’s suppression, a group of little wolves decisively decided to prepare delicious food for Bai Tu!

But Bai Tu usually doesn’t eat alone. Every time he gets something delicious, he shares it with everyone. A group of little wolves were worried that if they got too little, Bai Tu wouldn’t have anything to eat, so they got a little more. This delayed him for too long, and on the way back he encountered a group of insects and was gloriously wounded. The little wolves, who hadn’t been bitten so badly in a long time, cried miserably.

The wolves didn’t know what this food was called, but Bai Tu knew it very well: honey.

He also didn’t expect that the group of little wolves were going to get honey tonight. To be precise, he didn’t even know there was honey nearby.

Looking at the group of little wolves who even brought back a beehive, Bai Tu, who had been following them, couldn’t help but sigh. They even brought back the queen bee, so how could she not sting you?

“Put the beehive at the foot of the mountain. No one else should get close to it. Everyone go back to the cave and don’t come out casually.” After giving the instructions, Bai Tu took the injured little wolves back to the mountain first, made them put on clothes, and then removed the thorns and applied medicine to them one by one.

“Tu, the food we brought back is delicious! Especially sweet.” Langze grimaced in pain, but did not forget to ask Bai Tu for credit. They didn’t bring so much before, and this time they brought extra food especially for Bai Tu!

Bai Tu counted the big red and swollen bumps on their bodies, and no matter how moved he was, he turned into helplessness: “I’ll tell your brother if you take risks again next time!” Fortunately, these were bees with mild venom. It would have been terrible if they were wasps with strong venom or someone was allergic to venom. Generally speaking, this kind of behavior is not advisable and must be firmly resisted!

Even if they want to collect honey, they have to be fully armed and have the tools ready, instead of having to fight with their bodies like these little wolves. Bai Tu was scared. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something happened, how would he explain to Lang Qi?

Langze’s whole body froze.

Bai Tu was taking medicine when he found that Langze no longer cried out in pain and didn’t move. He was shocked: “Where do you feel uncomfortable?!” He was stung in so many places, and he might really be allergic. Bai Tu became anxious instantly and tried to think about whether there were any herbs that could be used.

Langze seemed to be petrified, and after a long time he uttered a few words: “Tu, can you–” Can you please not tell his brother.

“Can I ask what?” Lang Qi heard this as soon as he arrived at the cave entrance. His voice was flat and it was impossible to tell what his mood was.

Behind Lang Qi were the wolf tribe members who looked embarrassed. They ran all the way and lost track of Lang Qi for a while. They remembered the location of the sound and did not run astray. They ran all the way to the foot of the Rabbit Tribe mountain and saw their leader staring at several backpacks at the foot of the mountain. When they saw clearly what was in those backpacks, all the wolf tribe members fell silent. They recognized these things as they were only found in the restricted area. The screams could also be explained as the result of being bitten by insects while stealing food.

Even though the group figured out the reason, they couldn’t bear to look at their fellow wolves who were swollen in the cave. As adult wolves, and adult wolves who grew up with Lang Qi, they couldn’t understand. Even if it was delicious, was it worth suffering such a serious injury?

Langze told them from his own experience that the injuries could be much more serious. Even if Bai Tu felt sorry for the little wolves this time, Langqi still couldn’t help but take action. Langze, who was leading the group, and the wolves on the left and right who were instigating the chaos, as well as the more than 30 wolves who followed them unconditionally, were all beaten one by one.

Bai Tu rarely did not beg for mercy. He also felt that the little wolves had taken too much of a risk this time. Whether it was a hornet or a bee, being stung could be fatal. They were lucky this time, but not every adventure would be so lucky.

However, seeing the little wolves who were wilted after being taught a lesson by Lang Qi, Bai Tu felt so distressed that he applied medicine to each of them and asked Bai Qi to help make some oral medicine.

By the time the wolf cubs had been given medicine, it was already daybreak outside. Bai Tu asked Tu Cai for a pile of wooden boards, then took out the insect repellent ointment, smeared it all over his body, and went down the mountain to deal with the beehives.

Lang Qi was worried about going down alone, so Bai Tu simply gave him a bottle of medicine: “Apply it all over your body, otherwise you might get stung.”

These were brought back by the little wolves with great effort, so of course they had to be put to good use and not waste their hard work. But it was a bit too much to wipe out the entire bee colony, including the queen bee, so he planned to separate the queen bee.

Bai Tu moved as many queen bee and unhatched bee pupae as possible into the beehive, and also put in part of the honeycomb, and sent all the beehives back before the worker bees found the queen bee.

“From now on, just take the honey.” Bai Tu clapped his hands, and when he heard the sound of bees, he pulled Lang Qi away quickly, “Hurry up, or you will be stung.”

There are many locust trees and laurel trees in this area, as well as many wild flowers. No wonder bees are attracted to build nests. There is still some honey left on the ground. You can see how panicked the wolf tribe was last night.

Returning to the tribe again, Bai Tu separated the honey and beeswax. He kept the beeswax for making medicine and filtered the honey before preparing some food.

Bai Tu had long regretted not having sugar. Although honey is different from sugar, it can be used to make some foods that could not be made before, such as honey barbecue, honey fruit tea, etc., and many more foods can be made.

The picking team has recently brought back a kind of fruit that looks like grapefruit. It is bigger than grapefruit, but less sweet and mostly more sour than grapefruit. Most people in the tribe don’t like to eat it, and only some children are willing to eat it. Bai Tu used it as a lemon before, which is good for removing fishy smell and seasoning. Now it comes in handy, and honey grapefruit tea is arranged. It is so refreshing to drink a cup on such a hot day.

Moreover, the tribe has springs and caves with low temperatures. Bai Tu puts the boiled water in the cave to refrigerate it for a while and then takes it out. After taking a sip, he feels cooled down all over.

The honey barbecue needs to be marinated and served at night. The heroes are all in the cave and have been confined by the wolves. They are not allowed to go out except to hunt until their injuries heal. After the white map was divided, he asked the idle rabbits to help deliver it, and he kept the largest share for himself and went to Langze’s residence.

Langze was feeling aggrieved in the cave. He smelled a fragrance he had never smelled before, which meant that everyone was having delicious food again. But this time, he was not invited to eat. He was beaten but still had no food. Langze decided to ignore his brother and Bai Tu today. It was too much!

Langze felt very aggrieved, and decided that next time he came across something delicious, he would only leave some for Bai Tu and not leave any for his brother. But after thinking about it, he still felt upset. Langze didn’t know why he felt upset, he just wanted to find his brother, Bai Tu.

Just as he was thinking, Langze heard footsteps. He determined from the sound that it was Bai Tu. His eyes lit up, and then he turned around and faced outside. It took him so long to come see him!

But the next moment, he heard another sound of footsteps, and Langze immediately stood up and sat down. His brother was here, and he would be scolded if he had a bad attitude.

“Ze, it’s time to eat.” Bai Tu walked into the cave carrying barbecue. Next to him, Lang Qi was holding three bamboo tubes. In the bamboo tubes were the honey grapefruit tea that Bai Tu had made tonight. Almost every orc wanted a big bowl of it after tasting it.

“Oh.” Langze looked at Bai Tu, then at Lang Qi behind him, and agreed in a low voice.

“Eat the barbecue while it’s hot.” Bai Tu handed over the barbecue, took the tea from Lang Qi and put it on the table in Langze’s cave. “The barbecue and tea are both made with honey. It’s what you brought here last night. Try it and see if it tastes good.”

Hearing that Bai Tu used the food he brought back, Langze was no longer sad. He ran to the table and sat down to eat. He tasted a piece of barbecue first and was immediately shocked.

“This is delicious!” It’s even better than the previous barbecue!

“Try the grapefruit tea.” Bai Tu pushed the tea in front of him, “Iced.” Iced water tastes better than room temperature water in summer, but the cave is so small, and the water should be drunk directly away from meat, so only a small part of it was chilled, and most of it was shared with the wolf clan. After all, these little wolves were injured while trying to get honey.

“Don’t be so adventurous next time.” Bai Tu instructed, fearing that they would get up the urge to poke the hive again one day. “I have sent the queen bee back. Don’t go there casually in the future. I will take you to get the honey regularly.” It was impossible to completely prevent these little wolves from touching the hive, so Bai Tu simply took the job himself. He watched and provided some tools and measures, so that even taking the honey would not be so dangerous.

“Hmmm, hmmm…” Langze was eating with great relish when he heard Bai Tu say that they could go get it later. He was thinking about going again in a few days, but when he saw his brother’s unfriendly look, he suddenly stopped and recalled carefully. It seemed that what Bai Tu said just now was not letting them go by themselves?

Bai Tu realized that he didn’t listen at all, so he simply skipped the topic: “Forget it, let’s eat first.” At the same time, he reminded Lang Qi that the child only needed a beating and should not be scared every day.

Lang Qi received Bai Tu’s gaze and stopped staring at Lang Ze.

Langze immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His brother was too scary! White picture is better.

Bai Tu waited for Lang Ze to finish eating before leaving, and left the drink in the cave: “Have a good sleep, you can go out tomorrow.” Lang Qi’s order was that they could not leave the cave except for hunting before their injuries healed. The wolves did not dare to disobey. Fortunately, they applied the medicine in time, and because of their young age and strong recovery ability, the swelling had gone down after a day, and they could go out tomorrow.

Lang Qi didn’t want to lock them up for too long, mainly because the noises last night were too miserable. If they were not punished, they would continue to do whatever they wanted in the future. After hearing Bai Tu’s words, he did not refute.

Langze suddenly regained his vitality and wished he could go out for a couple of laps right now. Staying in the cave without leaving was more painful than killing him! Fortunately, they would go hunting soon. Langze ran a few laps in the cave, picked up the bamboo tube, and drank two more sips of grapefruit tea.

It tastes good, I will drink it again tomorrow.

Having to prepare both food and drink, honey seemed not enough. Langze calmed down and looked at the woods in the distance.

Lang Qi, who had left with Bai Tu, came back and said, “If you mess around again next time, I’ll take you back to the wolf clan.”

Lang Ze: “!!!” He is not really my brother after all!

In order to avoid being taken back to the wolf clan, Langze immediately began to promise: “I will be obedient! Very obedient!” Langze sighed, couldn’t he just go by himself.

“Well,” Lang Qi nodded, “Where can I find honey?”

Lang Ze quickly listed several places where honey could be found, including a deserted grove in the mountain gorge where they often sneaked in.

Even Wolf Qi, who has the strongest hunting ability, is not as familiar with the territory as the Wolf Ze team. The overly energetic little wolves have visited almost every corner of the territory. They will take a bite of anything edible and inedible that they see. If it weren’t for the rabbit tribe’s digging ability, they would turn the territory upside down.

The wolf Qi, who originally just wanted to trick to see if there was a second beehive group: “…” So how much honey have these wolf cubs eaten over the years?
