Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Bai Tu didn’t know that they hadn’t decided yesterday whether the wolf tribe should use beast form to travel, but when he woke up, the issue they needed to discuss became who would carry the load.

Langze was very dissatisfied with Langqi for snatching away his chance to redeem himself, but he could express his dissatisfaction with others, but he could only express his dissatisfaction with his own brother with his eyes.

His dissatisfaction was just a drizzle in Lang Qi’s eyes. In order to be able to come back today, everyone did not waste time and prepared to set off after breakfast in the morning.

When Bai Tu prepared to go out, he was different from the little wolves who turned into beast forms and ran out. The first thing he needed to bring was food. Fortunately, there was not much food this time, and the wolves could carry it even if they turned into their original forms.

This is not the first time Bai Tu has seen Lang Qi’s beast form, but he is shocked every time he sees it. Now it is a little better than before because he often sees the beast forms of the little wolves.

Langqi’s beast form is a circle larger than Langze’s, and can be easily distinguished even if they are mixed together.

They had to go together, and the cubs had to be left in the tribe for Tu Cai to help take care of them. Before leaving, Bai Tu comforted the cubs: “You’ll be back in the evening, okay? I’ll bring you some delicious food.”

The cubs reluctantly grasped his fingers, and only let go after Lang Qi tapped them one by one, looking at Bai Tu eagerly.

“Be good, I’ll be back soon.” Although he could bring the cub with him, this time he would not walk around the tribe as usual. The important thing was that he would be walking around the pond when digging lotus roots, so it was more dangerous to bring the cub with him.

The two cubs hummed twice, as if they agreed.

After leaving the tribe, Bai Tu realized why Langze had to use his original form. His speed was at least four or five times faster than walking in human form. The original form of the wolf clan could run at a speed of at least 60 kilometers per hour, and this was obviously not the highest speed, because it took longer than the time the little wolves took to return to the tribe yesterday.

I asked Langze and the other little wolves yesterday, and they had indeed seen lotus roots when they were playing in the water, but they didn’t know what they were. They thought it was fun to break them off and throw them around.

After a night of sedimentation, the condition of the pond was better than Bai Tu had expected, but that little bit of water quickly disappeared when the little wolves jumped in.

Watching the little wolves entering the pond and starting to play again, Bai Tu suspected that they had forgotten the purpose of coming here. Worried that if they continued playing like this, there would be fewer and fewer lotus roots in the pond. Bai Tu reminded them: “Stop playing, dig lotus roots.”

Hearing Bai Tu’s voice, the little wolves who were playing stopped immediately, found a hidden place to restore their human form, and held their breath to touch the lotus roots in the mud.

“Picture, is this it?” Langze found a stick that had obviously been used as a weapon, with only three sections left.

Bai Tu went to a place with some water nearby to wash it, and his eyes lit up instantly: “It’s this kind, dig out a section and leave a small section.” Bai Tu explained that what was left were lotus seeds, and they could continue to dig next year, and they couldn’t dig them all up at once.

Digging lotus roots is much more interesting than doing other things. The little wolves compete with each other to see who can dig more lotus roots. They only take a break at the hottest time of the day at noon and keep digging at other times.

Bai Tu brought three backpacks of food. He was worried that he would not have enough food due to his great physical exertion. If Lang Qi had not said that he did not need it, he would have planned to add more. Now he realized that it was not that there was not enough, but that he brought too much. Because they had to wash their hands after eating, the little wolves obviously did not want to go through so much trouble.

“It’s okay to be hungry for two days.” Lang Qi told Bai Tu, telling him not to worry. The wolf tribe can survive for more than ten days after one meal, and skipping a day is a small problem for them. It is not the first or second time that the young wolves have had too much fun and forgotten to return to the tribe. The only one who should care about the problem of eating should be Bai Tu.

After eating and drinking their fill and having slept for a night, the little wolves were full of energy. They dug up all the lotus roots in the pond in one day. However, as there was no water source nearby, the little wolves had no way to take a bath and could only return to the tribe covered in mud.

The lotus roots filled more than a dozen backpacks, weighing at least two thousand kilograms in total. The number of lotus pods was less, filling only one backpack.

Two thousand kilograms of lotus roots may seem like a lot, but on average each orc would only get about four kilograms. It would be impossible to eat lotus root powder, at least not this year. Bai Tu took the orcs in the cafeteria to clean the lotus roots and taught everyone how to stir-fry them.

Cold lotus root is also good, but there is no vinegar now, so the taste of cold lotus root will be a little worse. The difference is not that big if stir-fried.

No matter when, new and novel ingredients always bring surprises. The little wolves were very satisfied with their results. Each of them finished a bowl. If Bai Tu hadn’t reminded them that each person could only eat one bowl, they would have eaten more.

It’s not that Bai Tu is reluctant to give it to everyone to eat, but adjusting the diet at any time is a gradual process. The orcs have been eating meat for more than ten years, and only added a little fruit at most. If they rashly become pure vegetarians, not to mention whether their stomachs can adapt, the nutrition will not keep up. The same goes for not only eating lotus roots.

Bai Tu made the cubs’ food himself. He diced the lotus root and put it in the meat paste, spread it flat on a plate and steamed it. The lotus root he dug up this time was pink. The aroma of the lotus root and the meat after steaming was very tempting. Before the food was served to them, the two little wolf cubs wanted to get out of bed.

Bai Tu wiped his paws and face one by one. The little wolf cubs had been in a bamboo basket alone at Tucai’s side. Although they were only a little bigger in size and had no advantage in numbers, the two little wolf cubs could always beat a dozen of the others, and the two of them scared the little rabbits into the corner.

There were many items in the cave, and the two little wolf cubs actually flipped over the bamboo basket this time. If the young orc who followed Tu Cai hadn’t heard the noise, the two cubs would have been able to hide secretly for a whole day. The price they paid was that their bodies were covered with dust from somewhere. I washed it once when I came back, but Bai Tu always felt it was not clean enough, so I wiped it again before eating.

Bai Tu said as he wiped it: “Why does he look so much like Ze?” He was quite quiet here, with no problems except that he was a little clingy. I didn’t expect him to be so naughty in the cave where the cubs lived.

Lang Qi was adding coal to the kitchen. The canteen had made fried lotus root. Bai Tu wanted to drink some lotus root soup, so he brought back some more. Now it was cooking in the pot for their dinner. Hearing what Langze said, the wolf started to cook, added coal and looked at the two little wolf cubs: “I’ll be out for a while.”

“Okay.” Bai Tu nodded, wondering why he had to ask specifically before going out, and lowered his head to continue feeding the two little wolf cubs, “Is it delicious? Is it delicious? Be good next time so you can have more delicious food.” ”

Awoo~” the little black wolf howled softly, and the little gray wolf grabbed Bai Tu’s arm and took a bite.

Lang Qi came back soon, and Bai Tu didn’t take it seriously until the next morning, when he found Lang Ze looking listless. He asked worriedly, “Ze, are you feeling unwell?”

Hearing his voice, Lang Ze shuddered and immediately became energetic: “No, no.”

Adolescents always seem to be like this. After confirming that he was just a little out of spirits, Bai Tu wondered if he had arranged too many things recently. After all, the little wolves had a lot of things to do besides hunting. So he simply went to the kitchen to arrange for a new dish to be made every day.

Seeing Bai Tu leave, Langze became dejected again. It was not because he felt uncomfortable, but because there was one less option to play. Having just been scolded by his brother last night, Langze was in low spirits and puzzled. He had clearly sneaked in to steal the cubs when his brother and Bai Tu were not around, and returned them after playing with them for a while. How did his brother find out?

Unable to figure out what went wrong, Langze, contrary to his usual behavior, did not go out to play. After dinner, he went back to the cave and slept obediently. Before going to bed, he was still muttering to himself that his brother was a scheming wolf who could always find out what he had done. The heartless Langze beat his brother violently in his dream for the whole morning, and forgot everything when he woke up.

At noon, when he saw Langze, who looked radiant and more energetic than before, Bai Tu was sure that he had worried too much. The little wolves had some magical abilities, as if they always had endless energy, but the feeling of loss was also very obvious. The surrounding area of ​​dozens of square meters exuded an atmosphere of sadness. Fortunately, emotions came and went quickly, and Bai Tu still liked the little wolves who were full of energy.

Bai Tu had just felt relieved when Wolf Zuo and Wolf You came up to Lang Ze and asked, “Where are we going to play today?”

Lang Ze: “Where do you want to go?” He hadn’t thought about it yet. He had just been scolded by his brother yesterday. He went to bed after coming back from hunting at night and was angry all morning, so he had no time to think about where to go. The energetic little wolves understood that even if they acted wild, they could not stay near the tribe, or they would be driven away.

Lang Zuo looked around and made sure that Bai Tu and Lang Qi were not there, so he whispered to Lang Ze, “A cat said that they saw a lion tribe in the north…” The

cat tribe’s concealment ability is better than 90% of the orcs. Except for some people who were responsible for preparing hay for the winter under the leadership of Mao Lin, the others followed Bai Qi and were responsible for patrolling and other tasks. In places like the junction of two tribes, which are prone to conflicts, the cat tribe will not be discovered by the other side and can easily grasp the whereabouts of the other side. Yesterday, the patrolling cat tribe discovered that the lion tribe was approaching the territory of the Snow Rabbit tribe, and Lang Zuo, who was looking for Lang Qi, heard it.

Langze immediately became energetic and instantly became able to fight ten people alone: ​​”Go north!”

The wolf clan basically set out to hunt after dinner. Almost no wolf clan would miss dinner. After all, if they didn’t eat in the morning or at noon, they would be hungry for half a day, but if they didn’t eat at night, they would be hungry all night. Although not eating for a day or two is no problem for the wolf clan, they don’t want to be hungry when they have nothing to do. Moreover, Bai Tu feels sorry for the little wolves going out hunting late at night, so the standard of this meal is set better than the other two meals.

Almost all the orcs participate in dinner. The orcs working in the cafeteria usually start preparing in the afternoon. Usually, the wolves will gather around as soon as the food comes out of the pot. The other orcs know that the wolves will go hunting after dinner and will not compete with them and will come down a little later. Today was unusual. The chefs brought out pots of braised and grilled meats and various washed fruits. There were only a few scattered rabbits and cats in the cafeteria.

What about the wolf tribe? What about a large pack of wolves?

Eating is a big deal for orcs. A pot of food is not as hot as before. The wolves haven’t come yet. The orc who manages the cafeteria finds Bai Tu in a hurry: “Tu, something bad has happened. The wolves are going on a hunger strike!”

Bai Tu: “???” Why are they going on a hunger strike? They looked normal at noon and even had a snack in the evening. Don’t they like them?

“Which dish are you not satisfied with?” Bai Tu asked, thinking about buying a few more kinds of food from the market.

“None of them want to eat, not a single one came down!” The orc who managed the cafeteria slapped his thigh and said bitterly, “They didn’t say what they were dissatisfied with, nor did they say which one was not tasty.” His favorite thing was to watch others eat the food he cooked. The wolf tribe was going on a hunger strike without saying a word, which was really heartbreaking!

Bai Tu: “…”

Bai Tu: “Is there a possibility that they didn’t come back?”
