Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 107

Chapter 107

“He’s really fatter.” Bai Tu was absolutely sure that he was the one who got fatter instead of the animal skin becoming smaller.

It took Lang Qi a long time to find his voice: “No.”

Bai Tu didn’t believe it, and got up to find summer clothes. The animal skins in winter were thicker, and in order to fit clothes inside, they were cut looser and not so intuitive, otherwise he would not have discovered something wrong until today.

Summer clothes were all in another place, and the position where Lang Qi was standing just blocked the way. Bai Tu raised his hand and grabbed him: “Go and get me the summer animal skins.”

Lang Qi did not move. He picked up the animal skins that Bai Tu had placed on the bed and helped him put them on: “There are too many things over there, get them later.”

Bai Tu glanced at Lang Qi and let him help him put on his clothes. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. It was a little warmer than his hand, so it was a normal temperature.

“Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Bai Tu asked.

Lang Qi shook his head: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” After that, he lowered his head and carefully rubbed Bai Tu’s face.

Bai Tu raised his hand and rubbed him: “Okay, let’s go cook.”

Seeing that he had given up the idea of ​​looking for summer clothes, Lang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Tu looked at his back, lowered his head and pinched the flesh on his belly, and deeply felt that he should eat less.

However, when he got to the dinner table, Bai Tu felt that he couldn’t eat any less. The food prepared by Lang Qi in recent days had improved a lot in both quantity and quality compared to before.

The food in the morning was a little lighter, and it was all his favorite food. Bai Tu, who was considering eating less the moment before, ate half a bowl more than yesterday at noon. After eating, he rubbed his stomach and considered increasing his exercise. It was impossible to diet.

Just as he was thinking, his clothes were pulled. Bai Tu looked down and saw the little gray wolf in the arms of Lang Qi next to him. Even though it was a little tall, it was still very small. To them, it was only half an arm’s length away. In the eyes of the little wolf, it was like a small river. The little gray wolf was tentatively grabbing his arm, but its claws were too short and it could only reach a little at a time.

Bai Tu laughed and handed over a corner of the animal skin. The little gray wolf climbed onto him along the animal skin, feeling satisfied. The wolf Qi next to him didn’t move at all and just glanced at the cub.

Speaking of which, Lang Qi has changed a lot recently. In the past, he was hardly allowed to have contact with the two cubs, but recently, as long as the cubs don’t stick to him for too long, he’s fine.

Bai Tu pondered in his mind and raised his hand to rub the little gray wolf’s head: “What’s wrong?” Maybe it was because of the cold weather, but recently the two cubs have been sleeping a lot longer than before. Sometimes they would feel drowsy even when they were being held. It was rare to see them fall asleep before finishing their meal like today.

It was rare to see them so energetic, Bai Tu touched their little bellies one by one and asked: “Are you full?”

The little gray wolf hummed, wanting to express something, but then he found that his voice was different from Bai Tu’s, and anxiously grabbed his arm and began to climb onto his belly.

Lang Qi picked up the little gray wolf and the little black wolf in his arms: “It’s time to go to bed.”

Bai Tu glanced at him, it had been less than five minutes since he finished praising him.

However, seeing that the two cubs did not struggle, Bai Tu did not care about his sudden behavior of taking the cubs away. He just stood outside for a while, waiting for him to come out to see Shi Ning.

Shi Ning’s condition has stabilized a lot. At least he has started to eat, and he doesn’t refuse when someone adds water to his incubator. However, he becomes alert whenever there is any movement outside.

Bai Tu asked how much goat’s milk the cub had drunk, and was relieved only after he was sure that the little lion was normal except for being a little thin.

Now that he was out, Bai Tu was not in a hurry to go back. He took Lang Qi to where the cubs lived.

The cubs changed faster than the adult orcs. After staying in the tribe for a month, they had undergone almost earth-shaking changes. Because they had sufficient food and nutrition, although they were not as chubby as the two wolf cubs, they looked much more energetic and were much braver than before. Half of the cubs knew to ask for food from the orcs who took care of them.

When I first brought them home, they were skinny and bony. They got a little better after taking a bath, but their fur was still dull. After a month, they can’t be said to be shiny and glossy, but they are definitely much pleasing to the eye.

Because of their different races, the sizes of the cubs vary greatly. The size of rabbit cubs and bear cubs can differ by several times. For the safety of the smaller cubs, everyone tries to put cubs of the same kind together, and then put cubs of similar size next to them, arranged in order from smallest to largest.

The bear cubs are much bigger than those of other races and occupy the largest space. Bears of different colors are crowded together, and sometimes a few of them get together to fight. Their furry and cute appearance makes people want to kiss them.

The cubs’ movements were a bit clumsy, not as flexible as adult orcs, and they seemed more like they were being cute when fighting, especially when things got bad. One black bear cub grabbed his own feet and pulled hard, while another white cub grabbed his own hair, howling and pulling hard.

Bai Tu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He walked closer, stretched out his hand, and carefully freed the other’s fur from his hands. The pain on his body was gone, and the polar bear cub stood up staggeringly and rejoined the battlefield. The white bear should be a close relative of the polar bear. It is much larger than other bears and has a great advantage.

Bai Tu just watched from the side for a while, until a black and white creature crawled out from the pile of bears.

This cub was more calm than the others, with half an apple in its mouth. It was obvious that the battle nearby had not affected its eating.

Bai Tu rubbed the panda cubs, then touched the ones that were fighting one by one, and then went to look at the others.

Including the rabbit and cat cubs, there are more than 200 in total. Fortunately, except for those that are very young, the other cubs rarely cry and are very happy playing with just a toy.

Bai Tu was thinking about getting some more toys for the cubs. Originally, there were quite a few toys in the tribe, but as the number of cubs increased, there were fewer toys to be distributed. Each cub could only get one toy. It took a long time to get a bigger toy like a slide, because some toys were made according to the body size of rabbit cubs. The bigger cubs could not play with them and could only watch.

There are many people in the Red Eagle tribe, and there are not enough places to live. Fortunately, the brick house is large, and there is space for bunk beds in addition to the kang. The carpentry team’s knives are almost smoking, and they rushed to make the wooden beds in the past few days, so that dozens of people don’t have to sleep on one kang.

Now that the carpentry team has time, Bai Tu decided to ask them to build a few slides first. This is the simplest and very popular toy. There is also a seesaw, but you have to pay attention to safety. Only cubs over three years old who can transform into human form can play. The claws of small cubs are too short to hold on.

Although there was nothing special to do, he was busy all day and Bai Tu completely forgot about looking for animal skins.

At night, the two returned to the room early to rest. In addition to the cold weather recently, it also gets dark much earlier. Once the sun goes down, it will be dark even with glass windows. Bai Tu usually doesn’t write anything. In this age without glasses, it will be troublesome if he gets nearsighted.

I have an early dinner time, so I naturally go back to my room earlier than before. I usually can’t fall asleep at this time, but I don’t know how long I rubbed Lang Qi yesterday, so I fell asleep a little earlier today.

Bai Xiang hugged Lang Qi as if he was hugging a large pillow. He was already very used to the fact that he would transform into a beast in the middle of the night. It was normal for him to wake up on Lang Qi’s body or in his arms every day. Of course, he didn’t have to be polite at night, mainly because Lang Qi’s body was warmer.

The warm environment makes people more sleepy. Bai Tu yawned, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, Lang Qi’s voice rang in my ears.

“Tu, do you like your cubs?”

“Of course I do.” Lang Qi’s words were a little tentative, but Bai Tu was drowsy, so he answered without thinking when he heard the word “cub”.

As soon as he finished answering, Lang Qi asked the second question: “Will you throw away your own cubs?”

“How can I have my own cubs?” Bai Tu grabbed Lang Qi, expressing his dissatisfaction with him for disturbing his sleep and exposing his shortcomings. Doesn’t he understand the principle of not saying that his legs are short in front of a lame man! They both slept in the same bed, and coming to ask him about his own cub, isn’t that exposing his secrets?

It’s just that Lang Qi asked a lot of questions today. Even after being caught, he continued to ask: “What if?”

“If there is, just ask if. It’s none of my business.”

There was a silence that followed. Bai Tu realized that Lang Qi didn’t get the joke. He opened his eyes helplessly and sighed: “If I had my own cub, I would of course love it well and make a lot of delicious and fun things for it.”

Bai Tu felt that this conversation was a bit like the modern questions of what you would do if you were given hundreds of millions. However, in the final analysis, he could only think about it and dream. He would never have his own cubs, so he could only fantasize. If he wasn’t sleepy now, he could drag Lang Qi to talk about how to take care of the cubs all night, but now he was sleepy and could only say a few simple words.

Bai Tu didn’t know why Lang Qi suddenly came up with this idea, but the other party was obviously very serious. He couldn’t help but start to wonder, could it be that Lang Qi wanted a cub? I’ll take him to the cub cave again in a couple of days. It’s impossible for them to have their own, but they can adopt a few. Anyway, they have plenty of food and supplies, so they can afford to raise a few more cubs.

Lang Qi was still confirming in a low voice: “You won’t throw it away?”

Bai Tu rolled his eyes and held his forehead: “Of course not, I’m not a lunatic like Shi Ken.” No normal person would throw away their own cubs.

“Really not?”

“No, I’ll be angry if you ask me again.” Bai Tu raised his hand and covered Lang Qi’s mouth, “Shut up and go to sleep.” He said it as if they really would. Bai Tu didn’t want to listen to him drawing the cake anymore, so he decided to go to sleep.

Lang Qi didn’t say anything else, but just gently kissed Bai Tu’s palm and held him in his arms.

Finally, everything calmed down and Bai Tu fell asleep peacefully.

He went to bed early and woke up a little earlier than before. When Bai Tu opened his eyes the next morning, it was still dark outside. Lang Qi was already awake and looking at him.

Bai Tu turned into a human form and reminded Lang Qi: “Ze is coming over today, don’t scare him anymore, do you hear me?”

Hearing this, Lang Qi responded, lowered his head and rubbed against him, being very clingy.

Bai Tu picked up Lang Qi’s clothes and handed them to him, patted his shoulder and said, “Get up quickly.” The work in the tribe has basically come to an end, and everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. Next is the coldest time of winter. What everyone has to do is stay in the cave, get something to eat when they are hungry, and spend this winter smoothly.

In the past, this would definitely be a luxury for the entire tribe. However, now, the tribe has easily achieved this goal and there is enough food anyway.

The wolf tribe’s actions were almost synchronized with this side. Langze asked the patrol team to convey the message a few days ago. He came here after arranging the rest of the matters.

The agreed time is today, and Bai Tu decided to prepare early. In the past, he thought that the boy’s act of eating him to death was an exaggeration, but after getting to know the wolf clan, this notion was completely overturned. They were really good at eating.

So as long as Bai Tu knew that Langze and others were coming, he would make preparations in advance in case there was no food when the other party arrived. The beast form was fast, but it also consumed a lot of physical energy. As long as they were not in a hurry to go back, the first thing they did when they came here was to eat a full meal.

Lang Qi’s attitude today was pretty good. He used to be very disgusted with Lang Ze every time he came over, but now he took all the work on himself, picked up the cub and put it in Bai Tu’s arms: “You take care of the cub.”

Bai Tu glanced at the sleepy cub who had just been woken up, then looked at Lang Qi helplessly: “Can you set a good example?” The two were sleeping soundly, but Lang Qi, on the other hand, just pulled them all out.

Lang Qi: “Sleeping too long can make you stupid.”

Bai Tu raised his hands to cover the cubs’ ears, letting them continue sleeping, and whispered to Lang Qi: “How old are they? How old are you and still arguing with cubs?”

Regardless of whether the conclusion that sleeping too long can make you stupid is correct, even if it is true, it does not include cubs under three years old. Cubs of this age are in a critical period of physical development.

The wolf started moving its lips, but said nothing. It just glanced at the two cubs who were sleeping soundly in Bai Tu’s arms.

Langze arrived earlier than Bai Tu expected. As soon as he came in, he started complaining about how hard his life was. He was halfway through a sentence when he saw Langqi and instantly swallowed the second half.

I always feel that his brother has become more and more serious after not seeing him for a few days.

No, no, Langze carefully moved to the side of Bai Tu. This position was the safest no matter before or after his brother got sick. As long as he came over, he would not be afraid even if the look in his eyes was scary.

Today’s food was very rich. After making sure he was safe, Langze ate it without hesitation.

Bai Tu looked at Langze who was eating meat in big mouthfuls with a little envy. Langze’s appetite was bigger than most of the orcs he had seen, but over such a long time, no matter how much food he ate, Langze never gained weight.

Langze finished half of the dishes on the table like whirlwind. During the intermission, he saw Bai Tu staring at him and couldn’t help but shrink his neck: “Tu, why are you looking at me?” He was not afraid of Bai Tu looking at him, but some people would get angry if Bai Tu looked at them too much. Before he fell ill, his brother would at most beat him up, but it didn’t hurt much. After he fell ill, his brother was no longer a close friend, and he didn’t intend to leave him alive when he beat him!

“Look how delicious you are eating.” Bai Tu sighed. He had already eaten some food, but when he saw Lang Ze eating, he felt like drooling again. Today, Lang Qi prepared a variety of food, which looked particularly appetizing.

When Langze picked up the chopsticks to continue eating, he found that Bai Tu didn’t move, and wondered: “Tu, eat quickly, it will get cold soon.”

“I’m losing weight.” Bai Tu said. He thought it would be better to eat a little less because the weather was cold. Going out for exercise now would only make his brain frozen.

Langze was so surprised that his chopsticks dropped: “You’re losing weight?”

“Yeah,” Bai Tu nodded, “I’ve gained weight.” Although he didn’t use summer clothes to compare, he could already feel that his belly was a little rounder than before. If he continued like this, he would probably have a beer belly at a young age.

“How is that possible!” Langze immediately retorted, “You are as thin as in summer!”

Langze grabbed Bai Tu’s arm: “Look, where are you fatter?”

After comparing, he turned his gaze to Lang Qi with an incredulous look on his face: “Brother, are you not going to give Bai Tu food?” Orcs’ appetite increases before winter, and they are generally a little fatter than in summer! But Bai Tu’s arms haven’t changed since summer!

At night, after taking off the animal skin, Bai Tu looked down at his arms and wrists and fell into deep thought. Langze did remind him that it seemed that except for the waist, there was not much change in other parts of his body. It could be said that even the waist did not change much. Only the belly was the fattest.

This is not the normal way to gain weight. Bai Tu touched his belly and a terrible idea came to his mind.

As soon as Lang Qi entered the bedroom, he heard Bai Tu’s voice with a hint of panic.

“There may be something growing in my stomach.” Bai Tu found it difficult to maintain his usual calmness. No one would be able to remain calm if the same thing happened to them. In this era without various sophisticated instruments and operating rooms, a tumor in the stomach probably meant death.

Even though I am sure that I am still healthy, I am now starting to worry. What if it is really a malignant tumor? Will it get bigger in the future?

Bai Tu felt a little complicated when he suddenly learned that he had turned from an extremely healthy person into a terminally ill patient. He looked up at Lang Qi and originally wanted to…

While Bai Tu was daydreaming, Lang Qi was thinking about how to start the conversation.

After a moment, Lang Qi’s slightly hesitant voice sounded: “How did you know?”

Bai Tu thought that the other party didn’t believe him, and pointed to his belly: “Isn’t it obvious? Who gets fatter and fatter?”

Finally, the moment came. Lang Qi nodded: “It’s been a month…”

Bai Tu was a little confused: “What do you mean by a month?”

“Cub, it’s been a month.” Lang Qi put his hand on his belly and stroked it gently through the animal skin. This was Bai Tu’s cub, Bai Tu and his cub.

Bai Tu’s expression gradually became petrified: “Cub???” Is this what he understood?

“No, tell me clearly, what cub?” Bai Tu felt that he had to ask clearly today, otherwise he would not be able to sleep.

Lang Qi looked at Bai Tu with a stiff expression, and gradually realized that something was wrong. Recalling what he had just said, he was puzzled: “You just said you knew.”

“I meant the tumor!!!” Bai Tu almost couldn’t breathe. He suspected that he was sick, but in Lang Qi’s mouth, it was not a disease, but a cub?

He couldn’t tell which of the two things was more difficult to accept, and Bai Tu couldn’t figure out the problem until midnight.

How could she be pregnant? This must be a mistake.

Before going to bed, Bai Tu suddenly remembered something. Some animals in nature may have false pregnancies due to the environment or other reasons. The condition is exactly the same as a real pregnancy, except that there is no child. There are orcs like this among the rabbit tribe. Some time ago, I saw that she was pregnant, but when she gave birth, I found out that her excitement was in vain.

He was probably in the same situation, and thinking of this possibility, Bai Tu breathed a sigh of relief, hiding the slight sense of loss in his heart that was being ignored.

After comforting himself, Bai Tu closed his eyes and fell asleep. In his dream, three wolf cubs of different sizes were standing in front of a door. They seemed to want to go inside very much, but the door was blocked tightly, as if there was no one there. Besides the three cubs, he was the only one nearby.

Bai Tu couldn’t help but think of his previous two dreams, in which there was only himself and the cubs.

But this time the cubs were obviously very anxious. The black cub was trying to find a way to open the door, while the white cub huddled beside him, sobbing in grievance, like a poor little thing that no one wanted. The gray cub was comforting the white cub while looking for the entrance just like the black cub.

Bai Tu didn’t understand why such a cute cub was locked outside the door. While thinking, he walked over and held the cubs in his arms one by one.

When they saw him, the eyes of the three cubs, who had been anxious and aggrieved, lit up at the same time, as if they had waited for the person they most wanted to wait for.

The little white wolf cub lay in his arms delicately, whimpering pitifully as if it had suffered a great injustice.

The gray wolf cub was also howling, a little louder than the white wolf cub. Even though Bai Tu didn’t understand wolf language, he could hear the grievance and uneasiness in his tone.

The little black wolf cub was always steady, but now he wasn’t as quiet as before, clinging to his clothes.

Bai Tu glanced at the tightly closed door in front of him, then looked at the cubs in his arms. Could it be that these three were thrown out from here?

Bai Tu lowered his head and rubbed the heads of the three cubs one by one. He had been spending a lot of time with Lang Qi recently, so he had learned this way of doing things. It was undeniable that the cubs really liked this method and they soon quieted down, lying on him and yawning one after another.

“Go to sleep.” Bai Tu coaxed in a low voice.

The white one was still sobbing when it fell asleep. Bai Tu had to pat it gently for a while before it calmed down. The gray cub fell asleep next to the white cub. The black one was also sleepy, but refused to sleep. It grabbed the animal skin on his body with its claws and refused to let go.

Not knowing why he suddenly felt distressed, Bai Tu whispered, “Go to sleep, I’m always here.”

Hearing this, the little black wolf cub slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing that all three of them were asleep and the door in front of them couldn’t be opened, Bai Tu changed his posture to make them sleep more comfortably. Worried that they were cold, he took off his outermost animal skin and planned to cover them with it.

Sensing the change in position, the little black wolf suddenly opened his eyes.

Bai Tu immediately understood the other party’s thoughts and patted him twice: “I’m here.”

The black wolf cub then closed his eyes again.

Bai Tu breathed a sigh of relief and surrounded the cubs with animal skins.

After wrapping up the cub, Bai Tu looked down at his belly, which was flat. He then looked at the three little wolf cubs who were very dependent on him, and took a special look at the black one. He fell into deep thought, could this be the baby he gave birth to in his dream?
