Chapter 110
“The piece of land between the two tribes…” Bai Tu pondered for a moment. He had not considered that side much before, because it was Bai Qi who was asked when the terrain of each area was counted. Bai Qi was naturally most familiar with the territory in the central area, and he also tended to build in the middle at the beginning, so he considered this side.
But after Langze said this, Bai Tu felt that it was entirely possible to consider it. After all, there were many areas that needed to be communicated between the two tribes, and some supplies needed to be adjusted for each other. For example, the initial prey cubs were caught with the help of the wolf tribe, and this side could help when the wolf tribe did not have enough prey food.
It is much easier for two tribes to communicate with each other and share what they have than for one tribe to figure everything out by trial and error.
If the Snow Rabbit Tribe’s new residence is located at the border of the territory, then there is no need to look for a place for the Blood Wolf Tribe to live. They can just find a larger piece of land and divide it into two parts. They will build on the north side and the wolf tribe will build on the south side.
But Bai Tu was a little hesitant about the terrain: “Is there such a large piece of flat land that is easy to clean up?”
There were many flat lands in the territories of the two tribes, but to clear the entire area, seven or eight out of ten trees had to be cut down, leaving only those on the roadside. Otherwise, not only would it affect the construction of houses, but the built houses would also not be strong enough. Felling trees is not an easy task. Now with iron knives the cutting speed is a bit faster, but it is not easy to cut trees that are too tall.
Langze was very familiar with the terrain. He picked up a board and a pen and started drawing, even drawing how many trees there were in a certain area.
Bai Tu was a little surprised. After all, it was very rare to remember even the trees clearly. However, the more the other party knew, the easier it would be for him to arrange it.
Bai Tu circled an area and looked around: “What about the trees further out? Are there many?”
“Further out…” Langze was a little stuck. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly affirmed, “Not many!”
“It would be difficult if there were not many…” Bai Tu thought that if there were many trees around the house, it could provide a place to cool off, and it would also be relatively hidden. However, if there were not many, it would not be impossible. The houses could be built in a circle further out so that the living areas would not need to be too dense.
Bai Tu was just thinking about it when Langze suddenly howled: “I remembered it wrong! There was a tree!”
The howl startled Bai Tu and he looked at the other party helplessly: “It’s just wrong, why are you so excited?” It didn’t matter if he was scared, but the sound was too loud and his stomach moved slightly.
Bai Tu rubbed his belly gently under the cover of the table. He heard Lang Ze take a cold breath. He looked up at Lang Ze opposite him, then looked at Lang Qi next to him. Suddenly, he figured something out. He took the wooden board on the table aside and asked Lang Ze: “You must be tired after the trip back to the tribe this morning?”
Lang Ze hurriedly shook his head: “Not tired, not tired–” He suddenly remembered something halfway through and stopped abruptly.
But it was too late. Bai Tu had heard what he wanted to know. He glanced at Lang Qi meaningfully, turned to Lang Ze and said, “It’s okay. I’ll take care of the rest. You eat something first and take a rest before returning to the tribe.” ”
I’ve already eaten–” Lang Ze looked at Lang Qi, then at Bai Tu, and decided not to speak.
“There’s still time, go to the cafeteria and get something to eat.” Bai Tu urged.
No one dislikes food, especially the growing wolf cubs. Langze took a few wolf cubs away.
There were only two people left in the cave. Bai Tu glanced at Lang Qi: “Did you bully Ze again?”
Lang Qi saw the smile on his face and knew that he was not angry. He boldly lowered his head and kissed him on the corner of his mouth: “No bullying.”
This was the first time he kissed him like this after he made it clear. Seeing that he did not refuse, Lang Qi moved slightly, raised one hand and gently stroked Bai Tu’s abdomen. He was about to see their cubs, and his heart was filled with joy.
Bai Tu didn’t give him the chance to continue messing around and pointed to the room: “It’s time for the cub to eat.” The cub’s appetite has increased recently, and it is not enough to feed it once every four or five hours. Basically, he needs something to eat every two or three hours. Bai Tu knows how important this period is to the cub, so he dares not be careless and always prepares food.
Lang Qi paused for a moment before retracting his hand, looking at him and whispered, “You only care about them.”
“Not you?” Bai Tu glanced at him and found that even after recovering and making it clear, Lang Qi was a little different from before he got sick. Lang Qi would never speak like this before he got sick.
Lang Qi naturally couldn’t tell him that it was because he found that this made him more likely to be soft-hearted, so he lowered his head and rubbed his shoulder: “Can you change into a beast form?” In beast form, he could carry the white map with him wherever he went, just like before on the way to the market, and just like in the morning, when he put the white map in the animal skin and it was always with him.
“Transform into a beast at the right time, not too early or too late?” Bai Tu wanted to roll his eyes, “Okay, I’ll go with you, okay?”
“Okay.” Although he didn’t get what he wanted, Bai Tu was willing to accompany him.
The cub fell asleep as soon as it finished eating. Bai Tu had never seen such a worry-free time. In the past, it would play for at least a while after feeding, but now it almost falls asleep as soon as it closes its mouth. It couldn’t be faster.
Bending his head and stroking the two little wolf cubs, Bai Tu suddenly asked a question: “What color are Wolf Yu and Wolf Zhu?”
Lang Qi did not expect him to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before answering: “Yu is black and Zhu is gray.”
Bai Tu nodded. The two cubs took after their father and their mother, exactly one black and one gray.
The little wolf cubs were feeling extremely comfortable in their sleep, lying flat in Bai Tu’s hands. They were visibly much bigger than before, especially compared to the three in the dream.
Bai Tu remembered the first time he saw the cubs, and bent down to kiss the two cubs on their heads.
Before he fell ill, Lang Qi would just watch silently by the side. During his illness, Lang Qi would never allow this to happen. But now, Lang Qi took a completely different approach. He changed into a beast form, kissed Bai Tu on the head twice in the same posture, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Bai Tu: “…” Lang Qi seems to have mastered new skills in getting along with others recently.
Bai Tu pushed the big black wolf’s head away and said, “Go cook.”
Langze and the others were eating in the cafeteria, and the two of them also needed to eat dinner, and they had a lot of things to do. Although they already knew that it was Langqi’s idea for Langze to build a house between the two tribal territories, Bai Tu didn’t intend to deny it directly. Finally, you must think carefully about where it is most convenient for the tribe to be.
Building in the middle of one’s own territory is more convenient for hunting within the tribe, and it is very close no matter which direction you go. However, it is not convenient enough to contact the Blood Wolf Tribe. As it is now, it takes half a day to go back and forth.
It is convenient to patrol at the border between two tribal territories, but it increases the difficulty of patrolling. After all, one has to cross the entire tribe to reach the northernmost part of the territory.
Both position options have their pros and cons, and this is not something Bai Tu can decide alone. He needs to call Bai An and others to discuss it. It was getting late as Langze was delayed, so he might as well take this opportunity to stay for another day and discuss things.
Bai An and the others didn’t know yet that Lang Qi had recovered. Lang Qi had no intention of telling anyone, and Bai Tu didn’t know how to start the conversation. After hearing Bai Tu’s message that he wanted to come to the cave to discuss, Bai An thought for a while, and finally decided to run away immediately if the wolf started to attack. Fortunately, the other party was calmer than he thought and didn’t say much during the whole process. He just felt a little cold every time they talked about the good location in the middle of the tribe.
Bai An was unsure of Lang Qi’s thoughts for a moment. He originally thought that the other party did not intend to let them get close to the territory of the Blood Wolf Tribe. After all, many tribes did not like orcs from other tribes to frequently appear around their tribes. Even if they were tribes with good relations, such as them and the Deer Tribe, they would not easily contact each other unless necessary.
Although the ties between them and the wolf tribe are closer now, the rabbit tribe still understands the principle of knowing when to stop and will try to reduce the number of times they trouble the other side. For them, there is no other disadvantage in building residential areas around the wolf tribe except that they are worried about being annexed by the wolf tribe. However, no one dares to directly say to build it there.
But after the discussion, Bai An found that things were a little different from what he expected. As they discussed, it seemed that the situation finally leaned towards the wolf tribe’s territory.
Bai An looked at the residential area that was getting closer and closer to the wolf territory, and suspected that he was not discussing the residential area of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, but the residential area of the Blood Wolf Tribe.
Bai An looked at the white map, then at Lang Qi, and finally asked Lang Ze: “Are we talking about the residential area of our tribe?” Bai An was a little confused as to how most of it entered the wolf territory.
“Of course!” Langze said immediately, “Our tribe’s residential area is here!” Then he ticked another blank area drawn on the white map. They would not take this opportunity to invade the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe!
“That’s good.” Bai An heaved a sigh of relief. They were just discussing their tribe. However, they certainly couldn’t go to the neighboring territory. Bai An moved northward based on the area drawn by Langze, “From here to here, this belongs to our tribe.”
Langze wanted to push further into his own tribal territory, but was stopped by Bai Tu: “Just like that, form two circles on both sides, and then expand outward.” Similar to ancient towns, each tribe’s residential area was a square, extending outward from the middle of its own residential area. The edges were connected together.
Lang Qi took a look and pointed to the part separating the two city walls: “Use this as the center and extend outward.”
“Huh?” Not only Bai Tu and Bai An, but even Lang Ze, who had known Lang Qi’s plan for a long time, was shocked. Is he really planning to merge the two tribes into one?
Langze quietly watched the reactions of several members of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, considering whether they could safely get away if the other tribe got angry. They would definitely not be afraid of fighting, but regardless of the relationship between the two tribes or for the sake of the white map, they could not do anything. If the other party made a move, they could only dodge.
Langze sighed slightly in his heart. His brother really dared to say that.
Facts proved that Lang Qi was not speaking casually. Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lang Qi spoke again: “Put food and salt in the middle, and start living around the food.”
Bai An, who had originally not intended to agree to this arrangement, heard that food and salt were placed in the center, and immediately began to think. Food and salt were one of the most precious supplies in the tribe, and they must be well preserved. They were originally placed in the middle of the residential area. It would definitely be safer if only two tribes guarded them. If they were stored separately, and someone in the middle robbed them, the wolves would definitely not be able to get there immediately, and no matter how fast they were, they would have to wait for the news to pass on.
If there are more people living in the settlement, the distance between the two tribal centers will be longer, and they will not be able to react and help immediately.
As for what Lang Qi said, the food of the two tribes was in the center and was protected by them together, which did sound much safer.
The only concern is still the wolf tribe. Bai An looked at the white map and suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.
Once the preliminary plan is finalized, construction will begin as soon as the ice and snow outside melt. While the leaves have not sprouted and grown again, we will clear the space and then start construction. We will try to complete the main part before the rainy season, and you can move in after the rainy season ends.
Choosing a location is only the first step. Baitu counts the number of people of each race and tries to let people of the same race live together, but not too far away from other races. This will facilitate communication and also help the connection between tribes.
After everything was divided up, I started to draw the structure of the house on a white map. The first two issues to consider were warmth and drainage, one related to winter and the other related to summer. If these two issues were not resolved, it would be better to live in a cave as before.
Fortunately, there were enough supplies. A lot of sand was dug out when digging the defensive trenches before. It’s a pity that such a large area was dug in vain.
But it was not in vain. Bai Tu looked at the terrain and thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a fish pond. He filled the original trench with water, scattered fish fry, and planted lotus roots. This saved the time of digging another lotus root pond. Moreover, this place was far away from the new residential area, so there was no need to worry about the cubs accidentally walking into the pond and getting into danger.
After this was done, Bai Tu started thinking about patrolling. Although Bai Qi and others said that patrolling would not be a problem even if they moved to the new residence, Bai Tu was still thinking about new ways. After much thought, the best way was to build a few sentry posts that were high enough, with someone guarding each post so that they could detect situations in the distance at the first time. The disadvantage was that it was not suitable for locations with too many trees as they could easily block the line of sight.
Bai Tu designed one thing after another. Lang Qi looked at it for a while and said, “The wolf tribe can help with patrolling.” The wolf tribe has a large territory and is used to running around all day. Also, some wolves have nowhere to vent their energy, so it is a good thing to let them patrol. Otherwise, they will wander around every day and not know where they will end up.
Wolves have great endurance and are very resistant to hunger. They can patrol for a whole day and a night without eating. In addition, their voices can be transmitted widely, so once there is any disturbance, they can immediately contact nearby wolves, one after another. It will take no more than half an hour for all members to gather together, and it won’t take too long to arrive at the scene of the incident.
Because the wolf tribe is united enough and has a large number of people, many tribes will actively avoid them when they see them, which can save a lot of trouble. Like the incident with the cubs in early winter, if the wolf tribe was looking after the cubs, the Black Mane Tribe would not dare to take action. It was just because the wolf tribe was far away and they thought the Snow Rabbit Tribe had no help.
Upon hearing this, Bai Tu put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Lang Qi: “Are you going to make people work for nothing again?”
“It’s not white work.” Lang Qi saw that he had finished his work, so he simply took him to the bathroom, added warm water, and continued after he was done, “They are very satisfied now.” The little wolves couldn’t wait to come to the Snow Rabbit Tribe to work every day. Not to mention that it was not white work, they would be willing to do it even if it was white work. Although Lang Qi sometimes didn’t understand their behavior, he knew them very well.
“It’s okay to let them patrol.” The warm water, which was slightly higher than body temperature, made people drowsy. Bai Tu answered with his eyes closed, “I’ll rearrange the work then.”
If there is no partition in the middle as Lang Qi said, then there is no difference between the two tribes and one tribe. Although they are still two tribes in name, they certainly cannot be separated in terms of work. It is better to merge them all together and redistribute them, allowing everyone to do what they are good at. Not only will they be satisfied, but the efficiency will also be greatly improved.
There are so many things to do after the spring. Papermaking and making various sauces are put on the agenda. The current condiments are increasingly unable to satisfy his appetite, and more fancy sauces are needed.
Bai Tu was muttering to himself, feeling very comfortable in the warm water. His voice became lower and lower until it gradually turned into silence.
Lang Qi did not interrupt him, nor did he ask when he heard something he did not understand. He just listened quietly, taking notes while adding water. Until Bai Tu fell asleep, Lang Qi stopped adding water, put the hot water aside, and when the water in the pool was not so hot, he immediately took Bai Tu out, wrapped him in animal skins and sent him back to the bedroom.
Bai Tu had just found three wolf cubs in his dream. Unlike the previous day, this time the cubs had a thin layer of fur under their bodies. Although it did not bring much warmth, it was much better than before.
Bai Tu looked down and found that he was now wearing the largest bathrobe. He simply put the three wolf cubs in his arms and used his body temperature and animal skins to keep them warm.
The furry little wolf cubs were a little cold. The white little wolf cub felt that it was Bai Tu before he opened his eyes. He found a comfortable position in his arms, closed his eyes and continued to sleep. The little gray wolf cub was much more lively today than yesterday, and was looking up while pulling at the hide. The black wolf cub stared at the position in front of the white map, as if he was on defense.
“There’s no one here, let’s all go to sleep.” Bai Tu tightened the animal skin on his body. He hadn’t encountered any sudden attacks from monsters in his dreams, so he was safe. The wolf cubs were naturally vigilant, but he could definitely protect them here.
The black wolf cub looked up at him, called out softly, then pulled the gray wolf cub to sleep next to the white wolf cub.
The little wolf cubs were all asleep. Bai Tu looked down at the fur on the ground. He felt that it looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen it. He knew that he would definitely leave again. Bai Tu did not touch the fur, but surrounded the thin nest with branches.
When he woke up again, Bai Tu saw only fluff everywhere. It would be a shame not to pluck out so much fluff to make a nest for the cubs.
With his eyes full of fur, Bai Tu started plucking fur mode again. He looked up after a while to see if Lang Qi had woken up. The good news was that Lang Qi’s sleep quality today was as good as yesterday, and there was no sign of waking up. Bai Tu plucked three balls of fur, but the other party was still sleeping.
Just when Bai Tu was about to pull out the fourth group, Lang Qi suddenly moved. Bai Tu moved immediately, but then he found that the fur on the exposed side of the opponent seemed to be denser and thicker.
Bai Tu’s eyes lit up and he continued without hesitation until his mouth and paws became sore.
All the fluff balls are hidden under the pillow. If they can’t be hidden, they are placed under the quilt. In short, they must be hidden to feel at ease.
When Lang Qi woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. He didn’t seem to notice anything wrong with himself. He kissed the little rabbit’s forehead and paws, turned into a human form, held the little rabbit in his arms, and his steps became much lighter.
Bai Tu was indeed very tired. He fell asleep again after Lang Qi woke up. He didn’t know if it was because he ate too much in the past period of time, so his appetite decreased in the past two days and he was not hungry even after eating two meals a day.
When he woke up, it was already noon. Langze and the others had already left. Bai Tu began to adjust his residence according to Langqi’s plan of sending the wolf tribe to patrol.
Since the food has been stored in one place, there is no need to stick to the middle line for living. Just make it as convenient as possible.
In the next few days, Bai Tu’s sleep time was much longer than before. He woke up every morning, worked for half a day and then had to take a nap, this time at noon. After having a meal at noon, he would take a rest to digest the food and start thinking about the arrangements of the living area. Occasionally, he would discuss with others and prepare for dinner in the evening. He would basically not be busy for too long at night and would start to rest. The next morning, he would start the busy cycle again.
He was extremely tired in the first two days, and his claws were sore, but he still didn’t pull out much. From the third day on, the fur on Lang Qi’s body suddenly became much easier to pull out, and it basically didn’t require any effort. However, even so, it still took half a day, because he had to hide the fur in a place where he felt safe.
Not only did they have to be hidden, but no one was allowed to move them. When Lang Qi was changing the animal skins, he moved the pillow. Even if he tried his best to restore it to its original state, Bai Tu still moved all the fluff under the pillow away the next morning.
The little rabbit, which was less than the size of a palm, was spinning around on the kang, holding a ball of fluff that was bigger than itself. Finally, it found a place in the corner that it felt safe, moved all the fluff to the new place, and then went back to sleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt something was wrong. He woke up again, jumped to the place where he had hidden the fluff, took out the fluff, and hid it in the next place.
Finally satisfied, the snow-white ball jumped onto Lang Qi, stretched out its four paws, closed its eyes and went to sleep, looking extremely tired.
Not long after Bai Tu fell asleep, Lang Qi slowly opened his eyes, gently kissed the little rabbit’s ears, and scanned several places.
Even though Bai Tu tried his best to conceal it and basically didn’t go out after he realized something was wrong, he was still discovered.
The first one to discover it was Tu Cai. You know, Bai Tu had to go to see the cubs at least every other day, even if the cubs were fine. From time to time, he would ask someone to make some toys for them. Even though Lang Qi sent two cubs from the wolf clan, this habit did not change. Moreover, because of the two little cubs, he prepared food for the cubs more often.
Before, Lang Qi was sick and he guarded Bai Tu all day long. He didn’t let Bai Tu go outside or talk to other people. Bai Tu went to see the cubs less often, which was normal.
But recently, Lang Qi has clearly gotten better. Now he doesn’t get angry when other orcs talk to Bai Tu. Although his eyes are still a little unfriendly, they are much better than before.
In that case, why doesn’t Bai Tu go and check on those cubs? A few of them often looked towards the door, trying to find Bai Tu, but he never came.
If it happened to someone else, Tucai would definitely not care, but she knew how much Bai Tu usually liked cubs, so it was even more strange.
It was nothing strange at first, it just happened that a cub was born in the tribe and they needed to ask Bai Tu some questions, so Tu Cai came to visit.
It is easier for rabbits to conceive than other orcs. It is normal for other races not to have cubs for three or four years, and some may not have cubs for more than ten years. This shows how precious cubs are. Rabbits usually give birth to a litter every other year, and some even give birth to cubs in two consecutive years.
But luck doesn’t always fall on a race. The rabbit cubs are small in size, and their hunting ability is relatively weak, which means that few of the cubs born can grow up.
There are many effects of giving birth to too many children. One of them is that the body will become weak and the physical constitution of the cubs will also be poor.
The newborn cub was similar to Tu Bing’s cub, and it had almost no breathing when it was born. Tu Cai learned some methods from Bai Tu last time. After shaking out the amniotic fluid, she pressed gently and finally saved the cub.
However, such a weak cub is still difficult to raise, and the orc who has just given birth is also very weak. Tu Cai wants to ask Bai Tu for some walnuts.
Ever since Bai Tu said walnuts were nutritious, the walnuts sent by the Horse tribe were almost completely replaced within a short period of time. Now there are only three backpacks left in the tribal warehouse, half of which belong to Hei Xiao and two belong to Bai Tu.
“My walnuts?” Bai Tu was stunned after hearing this. Why didn’t he remember that he had kept the walnuts?
At that time, part of the walnuts sent by the horse tribe were kept for the cubs to nourish their bodies, and the other part was left for everyone to exchange for themselves. Hei Yan took a lot of them with a wave of his hand, and did not even look at the remaining white map. When he checked at the end of the month, it was gone.
Tu Cai glanced at Lang Qi beside him, hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth: “Qi changed two backpacks.”
Bai Tu: “…”
After a moment’s silence, Bai Tu looked at Lang Qi, who nodded: “I changed them.”
Bai Tu pondered that it was not yet winter at that time, and his memory had not been recovered. Could it be that he was still sick and his mind was not clear, yet he knew to go and change walnuts? I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Take them all.” Bai Tu said. His weak body really needed some supplements. Walnuts and peanuts were really good.
“No.” Lang Qi frowned and was about to refuse, but when he saw Bai Tu’s disapproving look, he changed his tone and said, “You can only take half.”
“Enough, enough, half of half is enough.” Bai Tu dared to oppose Lang Qi’s opinion, but Tu Cai didn’t dare to. No matter whether the other party was well or not now, he was the leader of the wolf clan, so she could only talk to Bai Tu. She wouldn’t dare to mention this matter in other places.
Worried that the two would argue over this matter, Tu Cai quickly said that only half of the backpack would be enough.
“Take half of it.” Bai Tu said. He was alone and it was impossible for him to eat walnuts every day. Half a basket would hold dozens of pounds of walnuts. If he and the cubs shared them, they would be enough to last until the next time. It would be useless to keep too much. The old ones would not be as delicious as the fresh ones.
Tu Cai agreed, and then thought of Bai Tu’s recent abnormality, and asked worriedly: “Are you not feeling well recently, Tu? You don’t even go to see the cubs.”
“It’s too cold and I don’t want to go out. I’ll go later.” Bai Tu replied. He has been using this excuse recently, and he doesn’t even have to think about it. I have to say this excuse is perfect, and no one has noticed anything wrong so far. In addition, every time someone was asked to come over to discuss something, it was Lang Qi who went to call them, or Lang Qi asked other orcs to pass the message. After they came, the two sides were separated by a table, so even Bai An, who had come several times recently, did not notice.
It’s also possible that orcs are naturally a little lacking in carefulness, but as long as he can keep the secret safely, Bai Tu raised his hand and gently rubbed his abdomen twice. Feeling a little crowded, he moved back slightly and continued to explain: “I’ll go out when the snow melts completely.” In fact, although the snow has stopped now, it will take some time before it melts. After all, the temperature is not enough to melt the ice and snow. Thinking about the temperature outside, Bai Tu couldn’t help but wrap himself in the animal skin.
Tucai thought that Bai Tu was so much thinner than others and was indeed more likely to be afraid of the cold, so she easily accepted this statement. However, when she stood up, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Even through the table, you can see that Bai Tu’s belly is a lot fatter than before.
“Tu, have you gained weight?” In the entire Beast God Continent, gaining weight is definitely something that people envy and are proud of. It means that the tribe has enough food and is not afraid of everyone starving. Although many people gain weight during the winter, Bai Tu is the first one to gain weight as much as he did.
Tu Cai had just finished asking, and before she had time to praise the abundance of food in the tribe, she discovered another clue: Bai Tu had only gained weight in his belly, and no other part of his body had changed! My face is just whiter than when winter came, but I haven’t gained any weight at all.
Bai Tu didn’t react when he heard this until he noticed the other party’s eyes were on his abdomen. He instantly understood what was going on, but it was too late to cover it up. Pulling off a new animal skin cover at this time would be even more obvious.
Tu Cai pondered for a few moments, thought of a possibility, looked at Bai Tu’s belly again, and said hesitantly: “Tu, are you pregnant?”
“No!” Bai Tu immediately retorted after hearing those two words, “I am fat, but my belly is fat.”
“Only the belly?” Tu Cai was a little unconvinced. In all these years in the tribe, she had never seen an orc with a fat belly.
“It’s true.” Bai Tu insisted, “How could I be pregnant? Cai, you should go back soon.” He just insisted verbally but didn’t dare to move, because once he stood up, he would be more easily exposed. Bai Tu grabbed Lang Qi with one hand and tried to make his voice calmer.
Lang Qi, who was about to get up, noticed Bai Tu’s uneasiness. He stretched out his hand that was not caught and patted Bai Tu on the back a few times, then glanced at Tu Cai.
Tucai quickly stood up and said goodbye, but halfway through she felt something was wrong. Bai Tu didn’t look fat at all.
The orc who is pregnant must be taken good care of. Tu Cai was worried, but she felt relieved when she thought about Lang Qi’s attitude. The other party has been in the cave all the time, and even if she is really pregnant, Lang Qi can take good care of Bai Tu.
However, some things still need to be explained. Tu Cai is thinking about talking to Lang Qi about it tomorrow morning. Orcs who have never raised cubs often make mistakes, and she needs to remind Lang Qi.
Inside the cave, Bai Tu calmed down after a while. He looked down at his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief. From this angle, being a little fat could be explained. He decided to be more careful next time so as not to be discovered.
“Don’t be afraid.” Lang Qi kissed Bai Tu on the head. He didn’t understand why Bai Tu was afraid, but no matter what time, he would protect him well.
“Hmm.” Bai Tu thought for a while. Tu Cai was not a talkative person. Even if he found something wrong, he would not say much. So he felt relieved.
That night, Bai Tu went to bed earlier than usual. In his dream, the three cubs were sleeping soundly in a large and warm nest. Bai Tu carefully covered them with the animal skin.
Sensing a familiar scent, the gray and white wolf cubs hummed a few times at the same time. The white one was sleeping soundly in the arms of the other two. The black wolf cub looked up at Bai Tu and rubbed his hand reluctantly but happily. The two little ones also woke up quickly and came to his hands one by one. The gray wolf cub was anxious and climbed up directly along his hand, barking a few times.
Bai Tu could feel that the other party was somewhat happy, but he couldn’t figure out the reason, so he could only rub them one by one.
Compared with the previous few days, the white wolf cub has changed the most. Thinking about the scene that day, Bai Tu was scared. Fortunately, all three cubs are fine.
After playing with the cubs for a while, Bai Tu suddenly wanted to change into animal form. Since there was only him and the cubs around anyway, Bai Tu made a decision quickly, changed into animal form, and crawled into the nest. The four furry cubs soon fell asleep together.
When he woke up again, the cave was a little dark and he was the only one there. The little rabbit looked left and right to make sure that there was no one else there. Then he felt relieved, jumped a few times to find the place where he had hidden the fur yesterday, and started digging a hole.
