Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Lang Qi glanced at Lang Ze, then at Bai Tu, and remained silent.

Bai Tu automatically ignored this question. He caught a glimpse of the food in Lang Qi’s hand and was stunned for a moment: “Is this food for the cubs? Who made it?” This black thing was worse than medicine. It would be fine if you couldn’t tell the ingredients, but the key is the color. It doesn’t look edible at all.

It wasn’t the first time that Langze got no answer. When he heard Bai Tu asking about the food, he immediately said proudly, “I made it!” He cooked it for a long time and was afraid that it was not cooked until it started to smoke before serving it.

Bai Tu held his forehead with his hand: “You go get the ingredients, I’ll cook.” As expected, Langze is only talented in making food that he can eat. Once it comes to food that cannot be cooked and eaten at the same time, dark dishes will appear. Bai Tu decided not to torture the ingredients anymore, it would be more reliable to cook by himself.

Lang Ze spoke, but Lang Qi refused first: “No.”

Bai Tu reasoned with Lang Qi: “The cubs are too young and need to be taken care of now. Otherwise, give the cubs to Ze and let them help take care of them?” Both methods are fine. Anyway, they can’t stay in the cave and eat these things. It just so happens that Lang Qi has been a little hostile to the cubs these days, so it’s okay to send them away and take them back when Lang Qi wakes up.

Lang Qi frowned, received Bai Tu’s persistent gaze, looked to the side silently, and said after a moment: “Let others prepare it and send it over.” This way the cubs can stay, and Bai Tu won’t have to cook food. As for what he would do, thinking of what he had fed the cubs yesterday, Lang Qi wisely did not mention this plan. He could do it, but Bai Tu might not be satisfied with the finished product.

Bai Tu thought about it and it was a good idea, so he didn’t continue arguing with Lang Qi. He mentioned a few ingredients and told Lang Ze the cooking method: “Let Cai or Mu do it.” Both of them had cooked a lot of food for the cubs, especially Tu Cai. The food cooked by the children around her was better than this. Tu Mu didn’t make food for the cubs very often, but he was good at cooking, so as long as he was told the method, the food he made would taste good.

“Okay.” Not only did he not get any praise for the food he cooked, but now he had to find someone else to cook it again. Langze agreed dejectedly.

Lang Qi silently put the black bowl back.

Langze took it and planned to take it away, but when he left he almost felt it was a waste to throw it away, after all, the ingredients included meat, goat milk, walnuts, and vegetables grown by Baitu! It had been a while since they finished their meal. Langze felt his stomach and found that he was not hungry, but it would be okay to eat a little more.

Others despised it, but he didn’t. Langze raised the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

“Ugh——”

Langze was stunned. He had never eaten anything so disgusting.

Bai Tu, who vaguely heard the sound, looked outside worriedly, but the cave entrance was blocked tightly and he could not see anything.

Lang Qi looked at him without saying a word.

Bai Tu tentatively discussed with him: “How about opening the door? It’s too dark in there.” The stones almost blocked the entire entrance to the cave, leaving only a gap of about 20 centimeters. The light that came in through this gap was limited. It would be fine for a while, but it would get annoying after a long time. Before, people were afraid that Lang Qi would riot and hurt people, but now that Lang Qi was in human form, the danger level was greatly reduced, and there was no need to be so cautious even if he was not awake.

Lang Qi took a deep look at the entrance of the cave. Once he got outside, there would be other people there and it would no longer be his.

Feeling his silent rejection, Bai Tu said helplessly: “The tribe still has things to do, and we can’t stay in the cave forever.” Although things in the two tribes have basically been on track recently, there are some things that he would feel uneasy if he didn’t check them out personally, such as whether anyone was injured yesterday, and how the work of the Pankang team in the tribe is doing.

The four seasons in the Beast God Continent are not completely equal, and the temperature does not drop gradually, but changes suddenly. Summer is the longest time of the year, accounting for about five or six months. The early summer gradually becomes dry, the middle is the rainy season, and the later period is relatively good weather. The spring and autumn seasons are only more than a month, and the temperature rises or drops in this short period of time. Winter lasts about three months, and the entire winter is covered with heavy snow. It is not until the end of winter and the arrival of spring that the snow melts and all things revive.

Three months of extremely low temperatures. Even strong young orcs cannot stay outside for a long time. They must take good warming measures in caves or residences.

Collective heating is difficult, and when the equipment cannot keep up, the maintenance frequency is very high. Burning the kang is the simplest and most practical way. The orcs of the construction team had built the kang at the iron smelting site before, and recently they are helping the orcs of the two tribes to build it. Bai Tu plans to build the kangs for all the members of the salt exchange team during the time when the salt exchange team sets out, saving them the trouble of having to stay somewhere else for the night. However, he has not had time to tell the construction team yet.

In addition to making the kang, there are also things to do in other areas, such as selecting personnel for the salt exchange team, preparing salt exchange materials, storing winter food, watering corn, preparing the wheat fields, and selecting wheat seeds. There is a lot of work to do.

Lang Qi didn’t want to care about other people’s affairs. Seeing Bai Tu frowning, he raised his hand to smooth his brows, then kissed him gently. Only in this way did he feel at ease. Lang Qi rubbed his face, and the slight feeling of irritation in his heart was slowly disappearing.

They started hugging each other as soon as they had a disagreement, and it was impossible to push him away. Bai Tu let him rub against him, and his attention was still on the business: “I want to go out with you, okay?” Anyway, it was not the first or second time that Lang Qi followed him, so it didn’t matter even if he took Lang Qi to see it.

“You go wherever I go. You can’t run away.” Bai Tu continued to persuade, “Are you bored in the cave? Why don’t you go out for a walk?”

Lang Qi hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. Anyway, the cub is here and he can’t run away.

Bai Tu naturally had no idea what Lang Qi was thinking. When he saw him nod, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After Lang Qi opened the door, the first thing he did was to check on the injured.

Seeing the two people coming out of the cave one after another, the wolves guarding not far away were shocked and almost howled with excitement. However, when they met Lang Qi’s colder than usual gaze, they swallowed their tears back instantly.

Just because they can’t howl doesn’t mean they are unhappy. A group of wolves express their excitement with their eyes, and they wish they could turn into beasts and run a few laps to express their feelings.

After the excitement, the wolves became confused again. Why didn’t their leader speak? Although he usually has a cold face, he will still talk to people, but today he was completely silent.

In order to maintain the image of the wolf king, Bai Tu grabbed the hand of wolf Qi and explained to the wolf clan: “Qi is not feeling well. If you have any problems now, you should go find Ze.”

Hearing that he was feeling unwell, the wolf clan who were staring at the hands of the two men all turned worried and started asking questions one by one.

“Chief, where do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Does it hurt the wound? You can ask Tu to help apply the medicine. The medicine Tu gives you is very useful. The pain was gone immediately after you applied it to me last time!”

“Chief, Shi Hong is on his last breath after being bitten by you! Boss Ze said he would lock him up with Foxbu!”

“Chief…”

What a coincidence, the ones guarding here are all from Wolf Ze’s team. One of the most typical characteristics of this team is that they talk too much. Seeing that Wolf Qi’s expression was getting increasingly impatient, Bai Tu, who had gradually figured out the rules of getting along with others, immediately interrupted the group of enthusiastic little wolves: “Okay, you guys are busy. Qi and I will go see the injured orcs.”

After being besieged by other lion tribes and starving for a rainy season, the orcs of the Crazy Lion Tribe had long lost their will to fight. Most of them felt that it would be better to be captured. At least they wouldn’t have to hunt while hungry and get beaten. Some lions even feared that they would be caught and hated by the wolves after the attack, so they didn’t take action at all. Others knew Foxstep’s plan and didn’t want to get hurt so early, so they fought and dodged at the same time.

The lions have different thoughts and their states are completely different from those of the angry wolves.

Two older orcs from the wolf tribe were bitten to death while trying to save the young orcs who were traveling with them. They died before they were brought back. The wounds of the others were not fatal. Bai Tu had given them a lot of medicine yesterday, and they all applied it.

The leopard and rabbit tribes were facing a weaker lion tribe and suffered less injuries.

All the wounded were in a big cave separated from Bai Tu by several caves, even the wounded from the wolf tribe were here. After all, it would take half a day to walk to the Blood Wolf Tribe, so it was far better to recuperate here directly.

In order to facilitate the delivery of food and medicine, the wounded were arranged according to the severity of their injuries. Tu Bing, who followed Bai Tu to identify herbs, brought a few orcs to help apply and boil the medicine.

After following Bai Tu for a long time, many orcs have learned Bai Tu’s way of arranging things, especially smart ones like Tu Bing, who can sometimes do a good job without his instructions.

Apart from the need to replenish medicine, he didn’t have to worry about anything else. Bai Tu wrote down a few types of medicine that were needed in small quantities.

Although he didn’t remember these people, Lang Qi was obviously more patient with the wounded. He allowed Bai Tu to take him to check on the injured orcs, and occasionally when someone called him, he was able to suppress his displeasure.

After checking on all the injured, Bai Tu dragged Lang Qi to look at the food for the cubs.

It was past dinner time, and it was Tu Mu who cooked for the cubs. Lang Ze was standing at the kitchen door, holding a huge bowl filled with water. He took a sip of the water, rinsed his mouth, and then spit it into the sewer.

Bai Tu silently moved away from him to avoid being splashed with water, and casually said to Lang Qi, “Go this way.”

Lang Qi’s eyes changed, but when he thought of the two cubs in the cave, he calmed down.

Hearing Bai Tu’s voice, Lang Ze turned his head suddenly and became excited instantly: “Brother! Tu! You are coming down?!”

Lang Qi frowned slightly. This voice could rival those on the mountain just now. Sure enough, the orcs except Baitu are very annoying.

“Yes, it’s down.” Bai Tu nodded, and saw that there were two bowls next to Langze, and was a little surprised, “What did you eat?” What food was worth rinsing your mouth with so much water?

“I vomited after eating it–” Langze had just said two words when he remembered the taste of the bowl of food. It happened that he drank too fast and swallowed the whole bowl in one gulp. The first thing he did when he came back was to let Tumu make food for the cubs. He waited too long before rinsing his mouth. It was a little late. Now he still felt that strange taste in his mouth.

Bai Tu: “…”

Bai Tu: “Forget it, stop talking and just rinse your mouth slowly.” He went to ask Tu Mu.

Tu Mu was serving the cooked food. Bai Tu seldom asked others to help with the preparation of the two little wolf cubs’ food. This time, he asked Tu Mu to cook. He felt that this showed that Bai Tu trusted him deeply, and he immediately felt that he could cook more than a dozen pots of food at once. However, the cubs obviously did not need so much, and the two smallest pots were not yet full.

The dishes ordered by Bai Tu were goat’s milk and meat paste. The two wolf cubs were over two years old but less than three years old, and their teeth were not sharp enough, so the meat had to be chopped up before cooking. Goat’s milk was one of the cubs’ favorite foods. Bai Tu felt that the cubs had been treated unfairly these two days and wanted to make it up to them.

Now it was ready and ready to be served. Lang Qi didn’t use the white map. He picked up the tray with one hand and grabbed the white map with the other hand.

Tu Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Bai Tu didn’t understand why the other party suddenly got excited, so he explained that Lang Qi had not recovered yet and he might not have time to prepare food for the cubs: “I’m sorry to trouble you with the food for the cubs recently.”

“No trouble, no trouble.” Tu Mu waved his hands desperately, “I’ll prepare it, don’t worry Tu, leave the food for the cubs to me.”

Fearing that Bai Tu would not believe him, Tu Mu listed more than a dozen dishes suitable for cubs in one breath: “It’s okay to leave it to me! Tu, you should have a good rest.” His tone was mixed with excitement and surprise.

Bai Tu: “???” He suspected that he was influenced by Lang Qi. Everything about him was weird today. How could he be so happy with the increase in workload? However, having Tu Mu’s help did save trouble. Bai Tu thanked him and was held by Lang Qi’s hand and taken back.

Tu Mu happily escorted the two out of the kitchen, and returned to the room at the back to prepare the ingredients with a smile on his face. He said before he arrived: “I’m telling you…”
