Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Bai Tu closed his eyes, trying to shake it all off as a dream. He slowly opened his eyes again. It was still the familiar scene, with the same people. Except for the fact that the number of cubs making noises had increased from one to two, nothing else had changed. He was still shocked by the shock he had just felt.

In a flash, Bai Tu did something he didn’t expect. He shrank back and pretended to sleep in Lang Qi’s arms.

Lang Qi: “!!!”

Lang Ze: “???”

Bai An: “???”

Bai An finally reacted a little late. If these were cubs born from Lang Qi and other people, then with Bai Tu’s personality, he would definitely not trust Lang Qi so much. So the possibility that Lang Qi and other wolves had cubs can be ruled out. Then who are these cubs?

Bai An’s gaze stayed on the bamboo basket for a while, and this time he discovered another point. There were three smaller wolf cubs in total. The black one was protecting the other two, the gray one seemed to be cursing, and the white one was looking for something everywhere under the protection of the other two.

Wolves usually give birth to one or two kittens per litter, rabbits give birth to about two, and sometimes up to three. Bai An frowned: “Could it be that one of the rabbit and wolf tribes gave birth secretly?” That shouldn’t be the case. Apart from Lang Qi and Bai Tu, he had never heard of any other partners between the two tribes. After all, it is more troublesome for people from different tribes to form partners than those from the same tribe. At least they would definitely report it to him as the tribe leader.

Hearing this, Bai Tu in Lang Qi’s arms decisively stretched out his paws to cover his ears. As long as he didn’t listen, he wouldn’t feel embarrassed.

Langze looked at the three cubs. If his brother had not secretly had them with someone else, could he praise them for being cute?

Lang Qi glanced at the few people and ignored them. He put the bamboo basket on the table. The cubs inside wanted to crawl out, but he grabbed them and carried them back. He first looked at the little rabbit pretending to sleep in his arms, and then he filled the basket with food and fed them one by one.

He wanted to tell people that this was Bai Tu and his cubs, but Bai Tu seemed reluctant, so he could only show off secretly in this way.

Langze looked at the cubs being fed by Langqi and felt itchy and wanted to touch them.

But before he could make a move, Bai Tu crawled out of Lang Qi’s arms. After deceiving himself for a while, Bai Tu was still worried about the cub, especially when there were people outside, so he had to watch him by himself.

Except for Langze, others had also seen Bai Tu’s beast form before, but that was on the road, and before they could get a closer look, they were blocked by Langqi. The little rabbit was too small, and it disappeared after it was on Langqi’s back. This is the first time I have seen Bai Tu so closely and carefully, and I am still a little surprised. After all, such small rabbits are not common. The ones I have seen before were all cubs.

Lang Qi blocked the sight of several people, put the little rabbit into the bamboo basket and put it together with several cubs. The size contrast is more obvious when put together. The little rabbit is even smaller than the cubs.

Now, even the orc who had just guessed whether the cub was born by Bai Tu began to doubt it. He was glad that he didn’t say anything, otherwise he would be laughed at to death.

Seeing Bai Tu coming in, the two wolf cubs who were eating stopped eating, and the three wolf cubs who were waiting for Lang Qi to feed them stopped waiting and all swarmed to Bai Tu. Bai Tu protected the cub, but it was just a small one. It would be better to say that he relied on the cub for protection rather than saying that he was protecting the cub. At least the two bigger wolf cubs next to him looked more ferocious than him, and the animal-shaped little rabbit made people want to hold it in their arms and rub it.

However, this idea is just thought. Everyone knows Lang Qi’s character. If you dare to touch Bai Tu now, you must be prepared to break your arms and legs.

However, the cubs were too dependent on Bai Tu, and they looked at each other, unsure of what to do for a moment.

It is impossible for such a small rabbit to give birth to cubs, but these three little wolf cubs became unusually close to Bai Tu when they saw his close attitude. The two older ones next to them can understand why they have been raised by Bai Tu for so long, but how do the little wolf cubs explain it? Even if they are closer to them because they are raised, they should still treat Wolf Qi, who feeds them, in the same way.

There are three types of people that cubs can get close to. One is the orcs who gave birth to the cubs and the cubs’ other relatives. For some of them, even if they are separated for several years, the closeness that comes from the heart will not fade away. The second type is orcs who raise cubs. Some start raising the cubs from the moment they are born, while others raise them when the cubs can remember a little. Generally, the former have a better relationship with the raisers. The last type is that some orcs are naturally friendly, and even if you have never raised them, the cubs will have a very good relationship with them.

The closest of the three relationships is the first one, and it is often difficult to distinguish the latter two. It has something to do with the time of raising the cubs and the degree of affinity. However, these cubs are too close to Baitu, which is really puzzling.

The group of people who coincidentally eliminated the correct answer first couldn’t figure out the reason after thinking about it, so they could only watch from the side. They waited until the cubs finished eating the food, then they looked at Lang Qi: “Qi, when did Tu turn into a human form?”

Originally, this question should have been asked to Bai Tu, but Bai Tu obviously couldn’t answer them now. He was with the cubs, so he could only leave the question to Lang Qi. In fact, it didn’t matter who he asked now. After knowing that Lang Qi did not bully Bai Tu, Bai An looked at Lang Qi and the cubs much more favorably.

Langze has been staring at those cubs. Orcs always like cubs of their own kind more. He feels itchy when he sees these three. Since Bai Tu likes these cubs so much, does it prove that there is nothing wrong with these cubs?

Langze hesitated for a while, and just when he was about to pick up the cub to take a look at it, he was stopped by Langqi.

“What are you doing?” Lang Qi was about to answer Bai An, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that Lang Ze was about to do something. He raised his hand and slapped Lang Ze’s hand away, then hid the bamboo basket behind himself to prevent Lang Ze from touching it. Then he continued to answer Bai An, “It will be fine in a few days.” ”

In… a few days?” Bai An was shocked. He thought the answer would be the party or tomorrow morning, but he didn’t expect Lang Qi to say a few days.

Now the ice and snow outside is about to melt slowly. It is time to hurry up and come up with a design plan so that we can determine which trees to cut down. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to plant them after the house is built.

No one can wait for a few days. After all, it takes some time for the ice and snow to melt completely, and there is a possibility of snowing and raining in the future, so work will have to be stopped at that time.

It’s just that Lang Qi has been a little perfunctory in the past few days, and Bai An is not sure about it. Two or three days and seven or eight days are all a few days. If the range is larger, more than ten days is possible. If it is delayed any further, it will be too late to come up with the planned pattern.

Lang Qi turned around and looked at the little rabbit who was protecting several wolf cubs behind him, then looked at the people in front of him, thought for a moment and said, “You go ask Cai.”

Hearing that there was someone who could give the answer, Bai An nodded and agreed, “Okay, I’ll go ask Cai – wait,” Bai An suddenly reacted and

woke up suddenly, “What does it mean to ask Cai?” Seeing that the little rabbit who was playing with several cubs was about to hear their conversation clearly, Lang Qi raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking, and said, “Just go and ask.” The little rabbit didn’t want to let other people know that he had cubs, but Lang Qi knew that this matter could not be kept secret, otherwise how would he explain the three extra cubs.

Since he couldn’t say it in front of the little rabbit, he could only let others guess it themselves. Lang Qi decisively threw the question to Tu Cai.

Even though Langqi said Tucai knew the answer, Langze still stayed in the cave and didn’t want to go out. Although Langze is not as familiar as Langqi, he is a relative after all. The three wolf cubs did not show obvious rejection. Of course, this was only when the other party did not approach them.

After Bai An went out, he went straight to Tucai’s cave. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Tucai usually takes care of the cubs and the pregnant orcs. What does Bai Tu’s change of human form have to do with Tucai?

After entering the cave, Bai An suddenly slapped his head and said, “Those three cubs were born by Bai Tu!” The three cubs were so dependent on Bai Tu, in addition to Bai Tu’s inherent affinity, but also because he was an orc who gave birth to cubs. He thought about it and it was because of this reason.

“How is that possible?” Another person following Bai An retorted, “How can a small like Tu give birth to wolf cubs?” The wolf cubs were bigger than Bai Tu’s beast form.

The orc who had this idea in the first place seemed to have found his backbone: “Maybe they are different? If they really give birth to tiny cubs, how do we raise them?” The rabbit cubs are small enough and not as strong as the cubs of other races. They need to be carefully fed. The three wolf cubs are about the same size as the rabbit cubs. If they were smaller, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to be raised.

The two sides argued for a while without a clear winner. Tu Cai, who heard the noise, came out and heard a group of people arguing about whether the cubs that Lang Qi brought were the ones born by Bai Tu. After a moment of silence, he asked from the bottom of his heart: “Apart from Tu’s cubs, would Lang Qi bring other people’s cubs?”

Several people suddenly realized that there was no need to argue about this issue. The truth could be seen from Lang Qi’s attitude towards the cubs. It’s just that they were blinded by Lang Qi’s body size and ignored the truth first.

Not everyone knows how to use the means of transportation invented by Bai Tu, and they can get hurt easily if they don’t know the direction well. The group of orcs who often come here are basically from the Langze team. The other wolves stay in their own tribes most of the time. Because of the arrangements when the personnel were transferred at that time, there are more males than females left in the Snow Rabbit tribe, and the few female wolves basically have partners.

As we all know, several wolf tribes have cubs, and the parents raise the cubs themselves. There is no wolf tribe that does not have its cubs by its own side. Otherwise, Bai An wouldn’t have thought about whether any white wolves had come here recently.

After thinking about it, he found the answer was right in front of him. Bai An looked at Tu Cai, coughed lightly, concealed the embarrassment on his face, and talked about business: “Let’s put this aside for now. When can Tu turn into a human form?” Everyone was waiting for Bai Tu’s arrangements. If the other party turned into a human form late, the work would have to be postponed accordingly. As for the other matter, he would have to take it slow and accept it slowly when he returned.

It is true that some orcs can give birth, but we had already ruled out this possibility when we saw the beast form in the white picture, and now we still can’t figure it out.

Tu Cai calculated the time: “It takes half a month to a month after the cubs are born… Now it’s been five or six days, it should be soon.”

Bai An got the answer and agreed dazedly. For a moment, he couldn’t tell which of the two things about Bai Tu’s birth was more speechless, a few days before Bai Tu could turn back into human form or the cubs.

Tu Cai saw that Bai An still didn’t speak after hearing the answer, and asked curiously, “Any other questions?” She was still waiting to see Bai Tu’s cubs. Orcs who are about to give birth will be more vigilant than at other times, so after she asked that day, she saw that Bai Tu seemed a little panicked and immediately stopped the topic, and then found an opportunity to tell Lang Qi what to pay attention to.

The time it takes for orcs to gestate their cubs varies. The Rabbit Tribe has the shortest gestation period among the familiar tribes, and Bai Tu’s gestation period is probably a few months shorter than that of other rabbits in the tribe because of his small size. Tu Cai knew that the cubs were born but had never seen them. Since Bai An just came out of Bai Tu’s cave, does that prove that Bai Tu has almost recovered?

Although he knew that Bai Tu and Lang Qi both had experience in taking care of cubs, Tu Cai still decided to go and take a look herself, otherwise she would feel uneasy. But she couldn’t go unless the people in front of her left. Thinking of this, Tu Cai urged: “If there is nothing else, I’ll go out first.” It was already dark now, and if she didn’t go, Bai Tu would go to rest soon.

“That’s it…” Bai An thought for a while but still couldn’t figure it out, “Why are the cubs so big? Were they born before and raised secretly for a winter? Or is Bai Tu helping the wolves raise them?” Bai An gestured at the size of the three cubs. They were definitely not as big as the two bigger ones, and were also smaller than other newborn cubs he had seen. But based on Bai Tu’s beastly body shape, it was impossible for him to give birth to such big cubs.

Bai An couldn’t help but worry. Could it be that Lang Qi brought the cubs back from other places and gave them to Bai Tu to raise, and then told others that they were Bai Tu’s children? Bai Tu suffered in silence because he didn’t want to offend the wolf clan.

It’s not that Bai An was deliberately overthinking it, but similar things had happened before. Of course, the truth was revealed in the end, and the orc who brought the child outside back to the cave was beaten up by others.

Bai An’s thoughts were becoming more and more outrageous and he forgot about the attitude issue they had just discussed. He had heard too many outrageous things in his daily life. In addition, he had never heard of Bai Tu being pregnant with cubs before today. When he suddenly saw a few cubs, he couldn’t help but think too much.

Tu Cai rolled her eyes: “Bai Tu was pregnant with cubs before winter, but she never told anyone else. I just found out about it a while ago. Don’t worry, it’s Bai Tu who gave birth to the cubs. It’s normal for the cubs to be bigger. Newborn cubs grow fast. And Bai Tu probably gave birth to the cubs in human form.” It’s just that she was exhausted and weak after giving birth to the cubs, so she changed back into beast form again.

A few decades ago, small orcs were not uncommon. Tu Cai had never seen that scene, but had heard people talk about some things. She knew that they were fertile and the way they gave birth to cubs was somewhat different from that of ordinary orcs. Ordinary orcs usually gave birth in animal form, unless there were other stimuli that caused the birth to be premature, in which case they would give birth to cubs in human form.

However, smaller orcs will generally only give birth in human form. After giving birth, some will maintain their human form, while some will be too weak or have too many cubs, resulting in exhaustion and turning into beast form. There is also an uncommon situation where, if there is enough food around or the environment is safe enough, the orc will transform into an animal form to accompany the cubs for a period of time.

It was also the first time for Tu Cai to encounter a small beastman giving birth to a child. She felt relieved only after asking Lang Qi to confirm that Bai Tu was healthy. However, no matter how much she asked, it was not as good as seeing it with her own eyes

. Seeing Bai An and the others was even more annoying: “Okay, you guys go back and worry about it. I’m going out.” Bai Tu naturally had no idea how many people outside were worried about him. He was taking a few cubs to watch the fun.

The object of excitement was none other than Langze.

While Langqi was not paying attention, Langze stretched out a finger and pushed the black wolf cub down. Perhaps the black wolf cub and Langqi were too similar, which made Langze feel the fun of bullying a smaller version of his brother. He wanted to push him a second time, but was discovered by Bai Tu.

If it were normal times, Bai Tu would definitely not do anything if he was just pushed lightly, but Langze didn’t know how protective the orcs who had just given birth were of their cubs. When he saw the black cub fall down, he pounced on it and started beating it without caring whether Langze used any strength or not.

Disdaining the other party for not washing his hands, Bai Tu didn’t move his mouth, but directly scratched with his claws. Lang Ze was still laughing at Bai Tu’s weak strength the moment before, but the next moment everything in front of him was turned upside down – he was knocked down by Lang Qi, and personally experienced the feelings of the little black wolf cub.

Bai Tu held onto the edge of the bamboo basket, watching and protecting the cubs. Not only did he not have any intention of persuading them, he watched with great interest.

It was at this time that Tu Cai was knocking on the door outside, wanting to come in to see Bai Tu’s condition. With Lang Qi there, Bai Tu was willing to allow other people in as long as they didn’t stay in the cave for too long.

Tu Cai was surprised when she saw the beast-shaped Bai Tu, and instantly understood why Bai An had so many questions. She had heard before that Bai Tu’s beast-shape was small, but different beastmen had very different descriptions of the same item, not to mention the descriptions of its size. Plus, a group of people didn’t look at it carefully, but just glanced at it from a distance, and described it in all kinds of ways, as big as a fist, as big as a newborn cub, as big as two palms… All kinds of descriptions gave Tu Cai a vague concept in her mind, but it was not as surprising as seeing it with her own eyes.

However, although Bai Tu was small in size, he looked very healthy and in good spirits. Tu Cai felt more at ease, knowing that he would not let anyone else come into contact with the cubs during this period. She just looked at him from a distance, said hello and left.

Bai Tu didn’t withdraw his gaze until he saw the other party leave the cave. The cubs behind him were all asleep, but he still didn’t rest and kept staring at Langze.

After being taught a lesson by Lang Qi, Lang Ze no longer has the courage to touch the cubs. Seeing Bai Tu staring at him, he wants to go over and say a few words to him. After all, he hasn’t seen Bai Tu for more than ten days in total. The few times he was tickled didn’t even leave any marks, so Lang Ze turned around and forgot about it. He still felt that he was Bai Tu’s most beloved brother.

But Bai Tu is particularly vengeful now, and he becomes defensive when he sees him approaching.

As soon as Lang Qi saw that Bai Tu looked strange, he immediately took Lang Ze out: “You live here and don’t come out.” It was too late and there was no way to drive him away. Lang Qi put a cold face on him and stuffed Lang Ze into the second bedroom where the cub had slept before.

Probably because too many people came in the day before, Bai Tu woke up before dawn the next day. The difference from before was that this time he suddenly wanted to turn back into human form.

After having this impulse, it was no longer appropriate to stay in the den. Bai Tu grabbed the wolf’s tail twice and woke up Lang Qi.

Lang Qi opened his eyes instantly, carefully took away his tail, turned back into human form and approached Bai Tu: “Are you hungry?”

Bai Tu shook his head, pointed to a group of cubs beside him, and asked Lang Qi to help move the cubs to the side.

Lang Qi had done this job countless times, and he became more skilled each time. Without much effort, he moved the cubs one by one and then took the little rabbit out.

Returning to the bed and making sure he wouldn’t crush the cub, Bai Tu stretched and slowly turned into a human form.

Surprise flashed in Lang Qi’s eyes. He immediately took out a piece of animal skin from the side and wrapped Bai Tu tightly: “It’s cold.”

“Not cold.” Bai Tu shook his head. He really wasn’t cold. Probably in order to take care of the cubs, Lang Qi made the kang in the cave very hot. Lang Qi didn’t cover himself with animal skin when he rested recently. He just surrounded himself and the cubs.

After helping Bai Tu wrap the animal skin, Lang Qi didn’t even let go of his hands. He took him into his arms and rubbed his face: “Does your stomach hurt? Does your head hurt? Do your feet hurt? Do you want some water? Are you hungry…” Although it was only a few days, Lang Qi felt that he hadn’t heard Bai Tu’s voice for a long time, and he wanted to find a place without cubs to chat for a day.

The more Bai Tu listened, the more helpless he felt. He raised his hand to cover the other person’s mouth: “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt anywhere. I don’t want water, and I’m not hungry.”

Hearing this answer, Lang Qi still lowered his head and touched his belly. Bai Tu had been thinner after giving birth to the cubs. When Bai Tu was in beast form, Lang Qi had been thinking about how to take care of Bai Tu and the cubs. Now, with Bai Tu alone in his eyes, he felt even more distressed.

“I’m sorry.” Lang Qi hugged Bai Tu. Some words had been lingering in his mind for a long time. Although he did it without any memory, it was still his fault.

“It’s okay.” When he turned back into human form, his thinking changed as well. The influence of instinct became smaller and his mind became completely clear. However, Bai Tu still didn’t understand why Lang Qi suddenly said this.

Lang Qi didn’t say anything else, but just held Bai Tu in his arms, wishing he could hold him in his heart.

“Okay, okay.” Bai Tu never expected that after waking up, he would not only have five cubs to take care of, but also a large one. Seeing Lang Qi like this, he inexplicably understood his thoughts, “It’s nothing, the cubs are still here.”

Hearing this, Lang Qi looked over and met the very curious gaze of the gray little wolf cub.

Lang Qi: “…”

Bai Tu, noticing Lang Qi’s stiff body, turned around and was stunned when he saw the little wolf cub’s bright and energetic eyes.

He was just talking, he never thought that a cub would actually wake up.

The little gray wolf cub, who saw the white picture, didn’t give the two men time to react and cried out in surprise.

It was almost time for the cubs to wake up, and with this cry, the other cubs woke up one after another and started shouting when they saw Bai Tu.

Bai Tu pushed Lang Qi: “Go cook.” The nanny is coming online.

Although he couldn’t cook with the little rabbit in his arms today, Lang Qi was still happy. He kissed Bai Tu on the corner of his mouth happily and went to prepare food for Bai Tu and the cubs.

There were only the cubs and himself left in the bedroom. Listening to the cubs calling one after another, Bai Tu clapped his hands: “Come, daddy will hold you.”

For the safety of the cubs, they could not get out of the nest and had to be carried out one by one by Bai Tu.

The cubs were bigger than the beast-form Bai Tu, but not as big as the human-form Bai Tu. Bai Tu simply held them all in his arms. Large orcs can do this when they are in animal form, but Bai Tu can only be hugged like this when he is in human form.

They were happy to have Bai Tu by their side, and even happier when he held them in his arms. The cubs came into his arms one after another, crawled to their familiar positions, curled up into a ball, and went to sleep. The cubs spend almost the entire day sleeping except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. This is true for newborn cubs and for cubs around three years old.

Bai Tu tidied up the animal skins and gently comforted the cubs through them: “Go to sleep, Daddy is here.”

The food could not be prepared in a short time. Bai Tu knew that it would take a while for Lang Qi to cook, and with a few cubs in his arms, he simply closed his eyes and rested on the bed.

The warm and safe environment made people want to sleep involuntarily. Bai Tu yawned, and his consciousness gradually emptied out, and he didn’t even notice that a cub was missing from his arms.

Half asleep and half awake, Bai Tu felt a cub scratching him.

Bai Tu, who didn’t want to open his eyes, raised his hand and patted his arms: “Be good, Daddy is here.”

His other hand was touched, and the touch didn’t feel like a cub. Bai Tu slowly opened his eyes and first saw that it was above the cave. Before he could wake up, there was movement next to him again.

“Pull, pull…” A childish but very clear voice came from the wrist. Bai Tu paused and silently covered himself with the quilt.

I woke up suddenly and heard a child calling for his dad.
