Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 109

Chapter 109

After a long time, Lang Qi continued his actions and tidied the animal skin on Bai Tu as if nothing had happened.

Bai Tu waited for a long time but got no answer, and couldn’t help but feel surprised: “Huh?”

Lang Qi raised his hand and put his arm around his waist, trying to hide the uneasiness in his heart, and asked in a low voice: “When did you find out?”

Bai Tu was stunned by his action, but did not struggle, but answered the other party’s question: “The day you were fully awake.”

From the Chinese medicine to the last time his body temperature was high, he always woke up in beast form every day, no matter when he rested, whether he was in beast form or human form, when he opened his eyes the next day, he would see Lang Qi in beast form. But something changed after that time. Basically, he woke up every morning in the arms of Lang Qi in human form.

This alone cannot be completely confirmed, but Lang Qi’s attitude towards the two cubs and Lang Ze has been obviously different recently. He himself may not have noticed it. After recovering, his attitude towards Lang Ze has obviously changed from a stranger to a strict brother. Not to mention that if it was Lang Qi who was in the period of traditional Chinese medicine, he would not easily allow other orcs to stay in the cave for so long.

The same applies to the cubs. The attitude I had towards them before and now is completely different. Lang Qi is trying his best to imitate himself during the period of Chinese medicine, but there are some differences from when he didn’t recover his memory.

If you think about it carefully, you will find that Lang Qi’s recovery is a slow process. His attitude had been changing slowly before, but the change was not obvious enough until he suddenly exploded that night. He should have fully recovered when he woke up the next day. He has been pretending for the past month.

Bai Tu tried his best to make his tone calmer: “You can go back to the wolf tribe.” He could feel the other party’s apology, and there was no need to stay in the Snow Rabbit Tribe to make up for it.

Lang Qi didn’t say anything, just looked at him, tightened his grip slightly, and held Bai Tu in his arms.

Just when Bai Tu was wondering what he said was wrong and whether the other party failed to understand, Lang Qi spoke: “I don’t want to be a pervert.”

“Ah?” Bai Tu was stunned. What did this make sense?

The next second, a low voice was heard: “Don’t chase me away.”

Bai Tu: “???”

“I can do a lot of things.” Lang Qi carefully lay on Bai Tu’s shoulder, not daring to use force, and whispered, “Don’t chase me away, okay?”

Bai Tu: “…No.” He just felt that since Lang Qi had recovered, he also needed him to take care of the things on the wolf clan’s side. He couldn’t arrange all the things on Lang Ze. After all, he was a little wolf who had not yet passed the growth period. He looked big in size and was not afraid of fighting, but he was far from stable enough.

Moreover, this is a good time to have fun. When spring comes and flowers bloom, we have to start hunting and working again, and we won’t be able to play even if we want to. Considering how hard Langze has been working recently, Bai Tu wants to buy him some free time.

The most important thing is that Bai Tu didn’t feel that he needed compensation from Lang Qi, and Lang Qi didn’t need to stay here. One of them fell ill and the other helped with the treatment. After he recovered and paid the medical bills, they no longer owed each other anything. If there are cubs in the belly, the money will be used for medical expenses. If there are no cubs in the belly, the help from the other party recently is enough.

It’s just that Lang Qi looked more like a sick man today, so Bai Tu couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted. He raised his arms and hugged him back: “What’s wrong with you?” Isn’t it just going back to the tribe? It was as if he had done something too outrageous.

Lang Qi rubbed his neck, his voice still a little aggrieved: “I want to be with you.”

Bai Tu looked up and saw the seriousness and earnestness in the other’s eyes. He opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Witnessing his change, Lang Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued, “Ze is in charge of the tribe’s affairs. I will tell him if Ze doesn’t know. Can you let me stay here?”

The other party was too serious, as if asking for some promise. Bai Tu didn’t know how to answer. He retracted his gaze and no longer looked at him, and said softly, “It’s up to you.”

There was a flash of surprise in Lang Qi’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He hugged Bai Tu and rubbed him against him, unable to express his joy in words.

Bai Tu looked at the behavior, which was no different from the previous one, and couldn’t tell whether it was intentional or unintentional.

It is easier to get sleepy when you curl up in the cave. As soon as it gets dark in the evening, Bai Tu goes back to his room to rest. There is less to do in winter, and even less at night.

Lang Qi saw that Bai Tu had fallen asleep, so he gently kissed him on the forehead, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and waited for Lang Ze to come back at the cave entrance.

There are more places to play in the Snow Rabbit Tribe. There are also many places to play around the Blood Wolf Tribe, but one place can only last for three days at most because they ski and play snowballs and it becomes a mess. Recently, they come here more and more frequently, and coveting the snow here is a big reason.

There was heavy snow everywhere, but there were not many cleared and leveled areas. The little wolves had to leave early tomorrow morning, so they naturally wanted to have fun tonight.

As soon as the happy people stepped into the cave, they saw Lang Qi. Lang Ze couldn’t help but stop and looked to the other side quietly, trying to find Bai Tu. Although he didn’t know if he had done anything wrong, he felt more at ease with Bai Tu around.

“Tu is taking a rest.” Lang Qi could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

The tone and words were not right. Langze’s gaze shifted to Langqi’s face, somewhat incredulous: “Brother?” His brother recovered? When did it recover? How come he doesn’t know?

But Langze’s question was destined to remain unanswered. Langqi nodded slightly as a response: “Go back to the tribe and do more work and play less. When you have nothing to do, stay in the tribe and don’t come here too much.”

Langze was instantly desperate. It was all over. It was his brother, and he was sure that his memory had recovered. If his memory had not recovered, he would only look at him as a stranger and would never say such a long speech!

Langze kind of missed his brother who always ignored him. He just needed to stay away from him or hide next to Bai Tu. But his brother who had recovered his memory was obviously not so easy to fool. He even knew to coax Bai Tu to sleep in advance!

Scheming wolf! Langze complained silently in his heart and decided to wait for Bai Tu to wake up and complain to him. His brother was obviously awake and was just pretending! He said that the way he looked at his brother had become increasingly strange recently, and it turned out to be true.

Langze’s little thoughts were almost written on his face, and Langqi could see through them without any effort. He didn’t say anything and just glanced at him.

Receiving the meaning in his gaze, Langze silently shrank his neck. His brother’s meaning was very clear. Anyone who dared to disturb Tu’s rest would be dead.

He actually threatened him. Langze complained in a low voice: “You don’t even dare to be mean to Tu.” He would pretend in front of Tu.

Lang Qi did not refute, but instructed a few people: “Keep a close eye on the vulture tribe and the lion tribe.”

“Oh.” Business cannot be neglected, otherwise Bai Tu will not be able to save him. Lang Ze agreed, but he felt something was weird.

After agreeing to the important task, Langze was about to go back to rest when he finally remembered something was wrong: “Brother, aren’t you going back?” Shouldn’t his brother go back to the tribe directly after recovering? Why do I have to tell him so many things?

Lang Qi glanced at him and replied, “Wait until winter is over.”

“So long?” Lang Ze was shocked. There was still nearly a month left until the end of winter, and Lang Qi had been recovering for more than a day. How could he not return to the tribe for such a long time!

“I feel at ease with you watching over the tribe.” Lang Qi said in a deep voice.

Langze, who was originally shocked by this matter, instantly forgot about Langqi not going back after hearing this, and indulged in the surprise of being praised: “Of course!”

His brother never praised him before!

“There is one more thing…” Lang Qi glanced up and down at Lang Ze, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

“What’s the matter?” Langze, who was flattered by the praise, immediately understood that his brother wanted him to do something. He suddenly felt that his responsibility had grown. His brother had never been so hesitant before, it must be an important matter!

Lang Qi lowered his eyes: “Tu plans to build a new home.”

Bai Tu dreamed of the cubs again. For some reason, the weather was colder this time than the previous times, and the three little wolf cubs huddled together.

The black wolf cub was guarding the other two on the outside, watching the surroundings vigilantly. The little gray wolf cub seemed to be very dissatisfied with the weather. He bared his teeth at the wind in a cute and fierce manner and accidentally drank a mouthful of the wind. The little white wolf cub lay listlessly behind the two dogs with its eyes closed. Sometimes it opened its eyes weakly, and then slowly closed them again after a while.

The moment they saw the white picture, not only the gray wolf cub, but even the black wolf cub was visibly delighted.

Seeing that the white map was still some distance away from them, the gray wolf cub urged hurriedly, just like when he called the white wolf cub that day.

The distance that seemed very far in the eyes of the little wolf cubs was actually only a few steps. Bai Tu quickened his pace and walked over, took off the outermost layer of animal skin, and put the cubs in it.

Wrapped in the animal skin with body temperature, the white wolf cub was a little more energetic than before, but still a little cold.

Bai Tu was anxious. It was much colder here than in the cave. Even he felt cold, not to mention the cubs. So he simply took off the remaining animal skins, changed into his original form, and hid inside with the wolf cubs.

With more layers of animal skins, it was indeed a lot warmer. Bai Tu was worried about the white wolf cub, so he hugged it, but his animal form was almost the same as the wolf cub, so he couldn’t cover the cub completely.

Even so, the little white wolf cub was still very happy. He opened his eyes and rubbed Bai Tu’s face.

The gray wolf cub saw Bai Tu’s beast form for the first time and barked excitedly. It occupied the other side of Bai Tu and even stepped on Bai Tu’s back with its two front paws, trying to bite the two ears that were different from theirs. However, it was pulled down by the black wolf cub the next moment.

The scolded gray wolf cub came down aggrievedly and lay beside Bai Tu.

There is a black wolf cub on each side of the white wolf cub, and the black wolf cub walks to the other side of the white wolf cub to help block the cold wind.

Wearing animal skins could only protect the body, while the hands and necks could be blown by the wind. But after changing into animal form, the thick animal skins could wrap around them in two layers, so they no longer felt cold. The little wolf cubs quickly closed their eyes and rested.

Bai Tu had not originally intended to sleep, but he had not been as energetic as before recently, and using the animal form to make the animal skin into two layers was already tiring, so he simply closed his eyes and rested.

When he woke up, he felt just as warm, the difference was that what surrounded him now was not animal skins, but the animal form of Lang Qi.

Bai Tu originally wanted to change into human form and get up as usual, but after rubbing against the soft fur, he had another idea. Looking down at the soft hair on Langqi’s belly that completely covered him, he couldn’t help but think, it’s so high and dense, it should be very warm, right?

Thinking of this, Bai Tu first confirmed that Lang Qi was still sleeping, and then he did something that he didn’t expect.

He stretched out his white and tender front paws and grabbed the wolf’s belly.

Maybe it was because it was warm inside the cave, but he was able to pull out a few strands of fur easily.

Bai Tu was surprised, and started the second and third strokes, one after another, and there was some on his claws. But its claws were too small, and its hair was long, so it took some effort to pull them out. Its claws started to feel sore after not much effort.

Bai Tu’s mind was completely occupied by the fur in front of him. He found that his claws were a little slow, so he simply used his mouth directly. The speed was indeed much faster, and a pile of fur soon appeared on Wolf Qi’s belly. Bai Tu compared the size of the pile of fluff, and it was almost as big as him, but because the size difference between the two was too big, and the hair on the abdomen was dense, it looked almost unchanged.

Although Lang Qi had not woken up yet, Bai Tu did not intend to continue. He rolled up the fur, hugged it and began to move towards Lang Qi.

Bai Tu took two steps and Lang Qi suddenly moved, then froze immediately. He looked up at the other party cautiously. Perhaps because he had not had a good rest some time ago, the big wolf was very tired today and was still sleeping soundly.

Bai Tu then felt relieved and continued to move forward. The other party’s movement just made it convenient for him. He slid down the belly to the bedding. Bai Tu walked lightly and carefully hid the fluff that he had pulled off with great difficulty under the pillow.

After hiding, Bai Tu checked again. He pushed the pillow, which looked like a small mountain to him now, back to its original place. He moved his four paws and touched the furry belly with his two front paws. It was too soft and he couldn’t feel anything.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the gap, Bai Tu shivered, and was about to crawl back to warm up when Lang Qi opened his eyes.

Lang Qi, who had just woken up, had joy in his eyes. He lowered his head and rubbed him, picked up Bai Tu, who was not as big as his paw, and put him on his chest. Then he changed into a human form and kissed Bai Tu’s head: “Why did you fall?”

Bai Tu’s movements were a little stiff, not because of Lang Qi’s actions, but because he remembered what he had just done. Stealing someone’s fur, is this something a normal person would do?

Fortunately, Lang Qi didn’t notice. Bai Tu raised his head, rubbed his chin, and changed into a comfortable position in Lang Qi’s arms. Recently, the snow was not as heavy as before, but the temperature was still not high. He was particularly afraid of the cold, and the temperature of Lang Qi’s body, which was slightly higher than his, was very comfortable.

But it wouldn’t work to keep going like this. Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Tu planned to go down and transform into a human form.

But Lang Qi did not let him down. He protected Bai Tu with one hand and took the animal skin with the other hand to cover himself, and put Bai Tu between the inner clothes and the outer skin: “It’s cold today, sleep a little longer.”

Bai Tu hesitated for a second and decided to listen to him, closing his eyes and resting. Lang Qi’s arms are indeed a good place to sleep. It is warm and not as dry as the kang. You don’t have to worry about getting a sore throat no matter how long you sleep.

I slept until noon. Although the sun doesn’t have much effect in winter, it is still much warmer at noon than in the morning and evening.

After changing his clothes, Bai Tu found that Langze was still there. He was a little surprised. He thought Langqi would let Langze go back quickly.

Seeing Bai Tu coming out, Lang Ze’s eyes lit up: “Tu, are you awake?”

Bai Tu nodded, took the water poured by Lang Qi and drank it slowly, waiting for Lang Ze to speak.

“I heard from the rabbit tribe that you are going to build a house.” Langze said and glanced quickly at Langqi.

“Yes, we need to build it.” Bai Tu nodded. On the one hand, the cave was not convenient enough and there was not much space left for expansion. After all, we couldn’t hollow out the entire cave. Even if we could, it wouldn’t be good to dig into someone else’s cave. Another reason is that there are too many people and one mountain is not big enough to accommodate them. They can squeeze together in winter, but not in summer. People tend to be irritable in hot weather, and if they squeeze in one cave, they will probably fight every day.

So he wanted to re-plan it and find a place in the territory to build single-story buildings, with several rooms for each person, similar to a small village, as a residential area.

Now with so many laborers, a lot of cement and bricks can be burned in winter and can be used. The tribe also has many raised animals, so hunting does not require so many people.

However, this is only a preliminary plan, and only a few people know about it now, because we have to wait until the ice and snow melt completely before we can start. Moreover, he has not chosen a place yet. It is not easy to choose a flat, safe and large place. After all, the place will be lived in for many years after it is built, so he has to choose carefully.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Langze breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively discussed: “Then how about choosing a place between our tribe and the Snow Rabbit tribe?”

Let’s all come and look at it at midnight tomorrow night. I’m not sure when it will be finished, but I can guarantee that it will be before midnight, and the number of words will definitely be sufficient.
