Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Lang Ze has been jumping back and forth on the edge of being beaten for a long time, but he can reach new heights every time. Bai Tu heard this sentence when he turned around. Just as he was about to remind him, Lang Qi had already walked to the side.

“Stinky brother!” Langze muttered while poking the meat in the pot, and then he found that the piece of meat was getting farther and farther away from him. He howled in horror, “Tu, the pot collapsed!”

Bai Tu: “…”

Bai Tu was tired: “Look up.” Silly child, it’s you who flew.

Langze looked up, his face full of fear, and almost turned back to his original form on the spot: “Brother?!”

“Go drink some water!” Langqi suppressed his anger and silently thought of his dear brother in his heart.

Bai Tu put a new dipping saucer aside: “Eat this, the dipping sauce is freshly made.” The dipping saucer was just made tonight. The thing that is most in demand here is wood. Whether it is bowls, spoons, or basins and plates, they can all be dug out with wood, so making a small dipping saucer is certainly not a problem.

Seeing that Bai Tu had already poured the meat into the pot, Lang Qi put down his younger brother who was courting death every day.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Langze ran away without stopping, fearing that his brother would start a fight if they disagreed. Only after he walked away did he remember that he had not finished eating. That was the meat he had cut with great difficulty, and because his brother had told him to, he cut each slice very thinly, and it took him a long time!

But he didn’t dare to go back, so Langze watched quietly from behind, planning to go over and eat when his brother left.

Bai Tu saw Lang Ze peeking out, and thought of his reaction when eating spicy food, so he pointed to the slightly spicy pot next to him. Although the spicier the food, the better it tastes, it is better to eat slightly spicy food at the beginning. Not everyone can accept the first meal as well as Lang Qi.

Langze refused to go. He didn’t want to eat that! If you want to eat it, eat the spiciest one!

Bai Tu: “…”

Forget it, Bai Tu shook his head helplessly and went to prepare the marinade. It looked like he couldn’t finish it in a short time. He would get sick of eating too much meat slices. He might as well pickle some meat to change the taste. There were three preys though, and he couldn’t finish them even if he ate them all.

Before, when eating, a group of orcs would go to replace the orcs guarding the supplies after they were full. However, the hot pot was sliced ​​slowly, and after eating a few pounds of meat, everyone felt that they could still eat more, but the time was almost up, so everyone had to change shifts. When changing positions, they did not forget to tell them to eat quickly.

A meal lasted from the evening until the next morning. The orcs burped and stretched: “Comfortable!” Such a life was so happy that they wanted to live like this every day.

Ma Xin and Ma Ping were more surprised than anyone else. It was the first time they saw this way of eating. They never thought that the fire fruit that was disliked by everyone could be eaten in this way. It was still summer now, but they could already imagine how comfortable it would be to eat it in winter!

Bai Tu was looking at the orcs who were cleaning up the wreckage, and he was shocked. These orcs had eaten more than two thirds of a cow and two pigs!

You have to know that that cow alone weighs nearly one ton. After bleeding and removing the skeleton and fur, there is still over a thousand pounds. Now only the cow’s head and hooves and other parts that cannot be sliced ​​into pieces are left. The rest have been eaten. There is a little more left from the pig, but three or four hundred pounds have also been eaten.

No wonder Lang Qi is still worried despite his strong hunting ability. These are bottomless pits. They usually don’t eat as much as they want, especially the little wolves led by Lang Ze, whose appetite is almost bigger than that of adult wolves.

The rabbits have a big appetite, and they had also seen how much the wolves eat on the way here, but Bai Tu had never expected that there was still room for improvement. The appetite of the orcs is like the early morning subway, they can eat more if they squeeze in, and you never know how much they can eat.

The advantage of having a big appetite is that there were not many extra backpacks today. The orcs were all drowsy after eating and drinking their fill. They only focused on eating and hardly slept at night.

Bai Tu saw with his own eyes more than one wolf walking with their eyes closed, and the key is that they did not fall behind, what a magical ability.

Seeing the surprise in Bai Tu’s eyes, Lang Qi glanced at Langze in front of him and glanced elsewhere.

Bai Tu guessed a possibility from the other party’s gaze: “Is this also a special skill of their hunting team?”

Lang Qi nodded silently.

The answer was as expected, Bai Tu gave a thumbs up, it was indeed not easy.

Fortunately, although it looks unreliable at ordinary times, it can still be useful at critical moments. After a night’s rest, all the orcs were full of energy. Perhaps they had just had a big meal the day before, and they were full of energy and couldn’t wait to find someone to fight.

Bai Tu looked up at the mountains not far away and said, “We’re almost at Blackrock Mountain.” We will reach Blackrock Mountain tonight. On the way here, we encountered orcs from the Brown Monkey Tribe. I wonder if we will meet them again now.

Unlike Bai Tu’s worries, Langze and the other little wolves looked at Black Stone Mountain with some eagerness to try.

Although they started hunting a year ago, they usually don’t get to fight with orcs. Strictly speaking, orcs before the end of their growth period are still cubs, just slightly larger cubs. They are okay with dealing with prey, after all, as long as they dodge in time, they will basically not be seriously hurt, and the most they will not be able to catch prey. However, they are likely to get hurt in a fight with other orcs, after all, the orcs in the enemy camp have no intention of taking care of their cubs.

Usually after eating, everyone can only find friends of the same age to vent their excess energy, but it is always these people who fight each other. They have been fighting for more than ten years. Sometimes they also want to fight with adult wolves, but the adult wolves simply ignore them! The now energetic young orcs looked at Blackrock Mountain, hoping that a few orcs from the Brown Monkey Tribe would pop out. They really wanted to fight. If they don’t fight now, they will be taken to the tribe, and when they return to the tribe, the adult wolves will definitely not take them with them when they go out to fight.

I don’t know if they heard their prayers or thought they could do it again, but when the team climbed up Blackrock Mountain, there were actually some monkeys who were determined to try to steal supplies a second time. Dozens of orcs came out together and surrounded everyone from several directions while they were eating.

But this time it was destined to fail. Before the orcs could even get close to the backpack, they were swarmed by the ambushed wolves.

Everyone had noticed something was wrong as early as when they went up the mountain. The monkey tribe thought that the reason for the last failure was that they had too few people, so this time they increased the number of people several times, but it was precisely because of so many people that they were exposed early. The rabbits have keen hearing and can hear the slightest movement, but the monkeys are too confident in their own climbing ability and think that as long as they climb to a place covered by leaves they will not be discovered. They kept moving and the noise was heard by many rabbits.

Wolves are famous for their excellent sense of smell, which is especially noticeable on hot summer days, making it easy for them to tell that another race is nearby.

Both tribes had been prepared, waiting for the monkeys to fall into their trap, but the other side did not disappoint everyone’s expectations. When they saw that some people in the team had started to eat, they thought that everyone had let down their guard and wanted to attack Yan, but in fact, half of the orcs were hiding behind them, waiting for them to appear.

This situation was beyond the expectations of the monkeys. The monkeys had always chosen sneak attacks because their physical strength and endurance were not as good as those of other tribes, and it was easier for them to succeed in sneak attacks with the cover of trees. Now they were ambushed and had no room to fight back. It was a one-sided beating from the wolf tribe.

A group of little wolves who had hardly had a chance to vent their energy since they set out were extremely excited. They had long wanted to attack the brown monkey tribe, and all they could do was steal things and cheat people.

Although he was not very familiar with the Leopard Tribe before, Bai Tu liked the supplies sent by the other party very much. It was said that they were edible. Those who sent food were their own people. Those who dared to cheat them and now wanted to take their supplies were too bold.

After a hearty meal and two days of rest, all the orcs are now in the best condition. The wish of the brown monkey tribe is about to be dashed. They couldn’t even touch the backpack of salt and were beaten and jumped everywhere. If there weren’t too many trees around them, giving them a chance to escape, the situation might have been much worse.

Bai Tu was amazed. The young orcs fought without any scruples. They fought as ferociously as they could and bit wherever it hurt. The wolf tribe was best at group attacks. No matter which direction the opponent attacked, there would always be orcs waiting behind them. Even if the brown monkey tribe was as cunning as they were, they could only flee when faced with such a desperate fighting style.

Some wolves saw them running away and wanted to chase them, but were stopped by adult wolves. They could fight nearby because they were all here, but the wolves didn’t know Blackrock Mountain as well as the monkeys, and they would suffer if they chased them. This is also the reason why ordinary tribes would only beat them up but not kill them when they encounter a brown monkey tribe. They would stay where they are and wait for the monkeys to take action before they have the ability to fight back, and the possibility of suffering if they chase them is high, and getting lost in an unfamiliar place could be fatal.

A group of teenagers just had a meal after a fight. Bai Tu took a medicine bag and applied medicine to each of them. No matter how weak they were, they were still orcs. After all, Langze and the others were young and didn’t know how to protect themselves, so they were bound to get injured. They didn’t feel pain during the fight, but now they started howling like ghosts when they were resting.

“It hurts!” Langze stretched out his claws and howled with his eyes closed. He had been injured before and it went away after enduring it. But now that someone was applying medicine, he wanted to howl a little.

Hearing this, Bai Tu couldn’t help but slow down his movements, causing a burst of hums.

Lang Qi looked around at the injuries and turned back to hear his stupid brother still howling: “Shall I apply it for you?”

The howling Lang Ze seemed to have his throat strangled. He quickly opened his eyes and retracted his hand: “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt…”

Bai Tu: “…”

“Don’t let the wound come into contact with water, and don’t press on it when sleeping.” Bai Tu instructed. If it was someone else, he would only need to say the first sentence, but for these sub-adult wolves, the second sentence is also important.

The young orcs were usually very kind and obedient. When they were resting that night, all the injured wolves raised their arms or legs. The scene was horrifying at first glance.

Bai Tu was silent for a moment, then found a few empty backpacks and took them over, asking them to put their injured paws on the backpacks. If they didn’t put something to support them for the night, even their uninjured arms might not be able to hold on.

Fortunately, there were adult wolves watching over them, and the wounds of the injured wolves were not serious and did not affect their walking. Everyone set off as usual early the next morning. Bai Tu distributed the pig and cow trotters that had been cooked overnight to the injured, and the uninjured young orcs stared at them eagerly.

Lang Zuo asked seriously: “Will you give it to me when I get hurt?”

Bai Tu stuffed a piece of pork skin jelly over to him. There was no refrigerator, so it was soaked in cold water through a stone pot overnight. The taste was smooth and refreshing, completely different from the meat we usually eat.

The orcs who were exhausted from scraping pig skins the previous two days were immediately conquered by the chewy texture of the pigs and wanted to catch two more pigs right away.

After a safe journey, everyone was very excited to return to the familiar place. No matter how comfortable life on the road is, it is still outside, not their own territory. Only in their own territory can they feel more at ease.

Langze grabbed Bai Tu’s arm: “Tu, come back to the tribe with me, I can’t live without you–” He

was pulled aside by Langqi halfway through his words. The Rabbit Tribe was already accustomed to Langze saying this from time to time. They were nervous at first, but later they found that no matter what he said, Bai Tu was not moved, so they gradually felt relieved. But the situation today was a little different. After all, they had arrived next to the territory. What if Bai Tu suddenly wanted to go to the Blood Wolf Tribe?

Seeing Lang Qi pulling Lang Ze aside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time sighed that it was fortunate that Lang Qi was reliable.

Bai Tu comforted the unhappy Langze: “I’ll make you something delicious after the rainy season!” There would probably be no time before the rainy season, after all, everyone had to speed up hunting.

Langze’s sad mood improved a little, and before leaving he repeatedly emphasized: “Tu, you can’t forget me…”

Bai Tu: “…” If you don’t know, you would think it’s a farewell between life and death!

In fact, Langze came to the door with a backpack the next day. It was not because he was driven out, but because Langqi found that everyone still knew nothing about planting after listening to Bai Tu’s explanation. The actual operation was completely different from what he heard. For example, how deep to turn the soil and to what extent to water. Langqi thought about it and decisively packed up his younger brother, who had been nagging since returning to the tribe, and sent him to the Rabbit Tribe. In addition to his own rations, he also gave a freshly caught pig.

Even for the sake of the pig, Bai Tu would not refuse Langze’s boarding study. The tuition fee was too considerable, and it was only a deposit before learning the content! He can teach more students like this!

Langze’s life in the Rabbit Tribe is very comfortable. Bai Tu is busy every day because he is here to study and is taken with him to almost everything. Bai Tu is used to making something to reward himself after hard work. Langze was so excited that he almost howled. This is the dream life! As for work, that little thing is a piece of cake for the energetic sub-adults. They can handle twice the workload!

Ma Xin and Ma Ping arrived at the tribe and stayed there for only one meal before rushing back, determined to deliver the mulberry trees before the rainy season. Half of the silkworms in that basket have survived until now. Bai Tu knew from the condition of the silkworms that they would make cocoons in the next two days. This batch was prepared to be kept for laying eggs, so he took better care of them and explained them to Langze, Baidong and others from time to time – teaching one is teaching, teaching a group is also teaching. Bai Tu decisively called out all the half-grown children in the tribe who were about to enter the growth period, and asked them to study with Langze.

The planting time for peppers and melons should be before this, but Bai Tu doesn’t intend to make a special distinction this time. Anyway, there are enough seeds. Even if the growth is not good after planting now, the remaining seeds can be used next time.

However, as the weather got warmer, the surrounding soil became drier and drier. Bai Tu did not plant the seeds directly, but first planted the soaked seeds near the cave to grow seedlings, where it was more convenient to water and care for them.

It is more appropriate to sow corn directly because of the large quantity. Long before the salt exchange team set out, Bai Tu assigned a task to the remaining tribesmen: clear the nearby weeds and turn the soil in their free time.

The orcs are very strong and used tools to turn the soil at first, but later they found that it was faster to use their claws when they turned into their original form. Now they have cleaned up everything from the front of the mountain to the riverside of the tribe, just as Bai Tu required.

Bai Tu chose an area with only weeds and no trees. Before, this place was used as a garbage dump, and leftover animal remains and the like were thrown here. In addition, there were no trees to block the sunlight, so the weeds grew particularly well. Now it is perfect for growing corn.

The removed weeds were not wasted. All of them that could be fed to cows, pigs and chickens were kept and dried into hay according to the method described by Bai Tu, and kept to feed the animals in the winter.

Speaking of breeding, rabbits are actually the easiest to raise, as they give birth to litters after litters. But because he roughly realized that he was also a rabbit, Bai Tu inexplicably didn’t want to raise any, as he always felt that it was similar to eating them. Although other tribesmen didn’t say it, almost everyone had the same mentality. Although the rabbit orcs can eat rabbits, everyone has tacitly agreed not to catch them for a long time.

Divide the cleared area into small pieces using a white map and have everyone divide it into a field shape. If the area is too large, it will be difficult to manage and water, so it is more convenient to divide it into small pieces.

Taking into account that it will rain continuously for some time in the future, Bai Tu arranged to dig canals to drain the accumulated water. A moderate amount of rainwater is beneficial to plant growth, but too much rain will cause flooding. If the drainage work is not done well, all one can do is worry about it in the future.

The growing period of corn is only about a hundred days. These corns are related to the food problem this winter. Bai Tu attaches great importance to it. It can be said that except for the orcs who need to go out hunting and picking and the children who cannot run, everyone else in the tribe has been arranged work by him.

Those who can dig the soil dig the soil, and those who cannot dig the soil bury the seeds. In short, no one is idle.

After seeing the salt brought back by the salt exchange team, the rabbit tribe almost unconditionally believed in Bai Tu and listened to whatever he said. Even if they didn’t understand the meaning of doing so, they would not refute it and just buried their heads in work! In previous years, even if the rabbits had enough prey to eat, they were not well-off enough to exchange them for salt. This year, they brought back so many animal skins that the remaining salt could not be eaten up in a year. This was the first time that the rabbits had enjoyed this kind of life, so how could they not be happy?

Their happy reaction was that they would work enthusiastically no matter what Bai Tu told them to do. Bai Tu was happy to see everyone so excited, and working more now would mean more food would be harvested in the fall.

Bai Tu’s planting method has improved a little on the corn growing environment provided by Bao Duo. For example, the Leopard Tribe does not water the corn, and the corn relies entirely on itself to germinate. But after planting the corn, he will lead everyone to water it again to promote germination.

Without fertilizers, even the most fertile soil would have a lower yield, so the spacing between seeds was slightly larger. About 20 kilograms of corn were planted in six or seven acres of land. The entire rabbit tribe worked together for three or four days and finished planting before the rain.

The rainy season does not mean it will rain heavily all the time. At the beginning, the rain is relatively light and the weather is a little cooler than before. Moreover, hunting is still possible in the first few days after the rain, so the hunting team did not stop hunting. They took advantage of the fact that the prey was disturbed by the rain and caught a few more, so that they would have a better time during the rainy season.

Langze carries the expectations of the entire tribe and has to do every job himself so that he can return to the tribe to breed the wolf tribe. After the rabbit tribe has sown seeds, he succeeds in his studies and is taken away by Langqi with tears in his eyes.

“Tu, I will come back!” Langze vowed. He had already found out that there would be a harvest after the rainy season. He would come back when the food was harvested! You can still follow Bai Tu’s diet for a few days.

Lang Qi’s tone was ambiguous: “Why don’t you not go back and stay in the Rabbit Tribe?”

Lang Ze was immediately surprised: “Really?!” There is such a good thing? Could this brother be someone impersonating him?

Lang Qi: “…”
