Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 78

Chapter 78

Bai Tu clearly felt that something was wrong with the tribe, but he couldn’t tell what it was. However, he saw that the orcs’ attitudes were a little strange, as if they were holding back something and were afraid to say it.

After leaving the kitchen, Lang Qi stopped and said, “I’ll carry you.”

“No.” Bai Tu refused. It would be inappropriate to carry someone in the tribe in broad daylight.

A trace of worry flashed in Lang Qi’s eyes.

The food was still very hot after it came out of the pot, and he couldn’t feed it now if he went back, so Bai Tu slowed down his pace with a sense of righteousness.

Slowly walking up the mountain, Bai Tu saw the group of young wolves again. He finally found someone to ask questions. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, everyone was glared away by Lang Qi.

Bai Tu: “…” Forget it, Bai An didn’t come to find him, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

When we returned to the cave, the food was almost cold. The two cubs were sleeping in each other’s arms. I don’t know what they were dreaming about, but they were smacking their lips.

“It’s a punishment to follow your uncle.” Bai Tu muttered unhappily, picked up the cub and added some warm water.

Lang Qi knew he was in the wrong and didn’t say anything.

Hearing the familiar voice, the cubs slowly woke up, and when they smelled that the person holding them was Bai Tu, they whined and complained about their grievances.

Bai Tu rubbed the heads of each one and fed the cubs some warm water before starting to feed them.

Lang Qi did not let go of the bowl in his hand, but held it to feed the cubs himself.

Bai Tu didn’t try to snatch it from him because of his skilled movements.

In this way, one was held and one was fed. The extremely well-behaved cubs beside Bai Tu quickly finished their food and made comfortable humming sounds.

Bai Tu checked and made sure that they were full, then he picked up the towel and wiped the cub’s face.

Lang Qi saw how carefully he was taking care of the cubs, then looked away as if nothing had happened, feeling extremely sad.

The orc’s love for the previous partner will be passed on to the cub. The more he likes the cub, the more he likes the cub’s other father.

Lang Qi lowered his eyes, put away the bowl and spoon, and washed them. When he came back, the two cubs had fallen asleep, but Bai Tu’s eyes were always on the cubs, and he didn’t even look at himself.

The bitterness in my heart could no longer be concealed and was covered by an unspeakable sadness.

Wolf Qi was feeling uncomfortable. Bai Tu finished observing the cub and called him softly, “Qi, is the cub a little bigger than a few days ago?”

The cub had changed a lot since it was first brought to him, but it was just a change from thin to fat. It was not known whether it did not like being with other cubs or whether the food was not good. When it first came, the cub was extremely thin and looked like it could die at any time. After being carefully raised for a period of time, it became obviously fatter. It was just not known whether it was accumulating energy during this period or if it had always been like this. It had not changed for a long time.

I haven’t seen the cubs much these past two days. Today, when I looked carefully, I felt that the cub was a lot bigger than it was two days ago. It’s not that it’s become fatter, but its body shape is tending to change bigger.

Before, he only knew that the cub was over two years old, but he didn’t ask about the specific date of birth. Bai Tu was about to ask Lang Qi, but when he thought of his current condition, he swallowed his words. I was thinking about going back to ask Langze, but there was no way Langqi would remember in his current state.

Bai Tu thought that given Lang Qi’s attitude towards the two cubs, the previous sentence might not get a response, but unexpectedly, Lang Qi actually responded.

“Yeah.” Lang Qi glanced at the cubs as a sign of agreement, but his attention was still on Bai Tu. The two cubs were about to reach their first growth period, and they could be sent out when they were three years old. At that time, they could…

Thinking of another thing, Lang Qi looked at the cubs a little more favorably.

Bai Tu thought that the sharing had taken effect, and he gradually relaxed a little. There must be a special connection between family members. Lang Qi just didn’t recognize the cubs now. After two days of getting along, his attitude had become much better than the night before. It seems that it is a good thing to keep the cub. After all, the cub has been raised to be a little pampered by them. He doesn’t trust anyone but the two of them, so he is a little worried about handing it over to others.

Bai Tu waited until the cubs fell asleep before going outside. Not wanting to go any further, he called a wolf boy over and asked him to notify the others to come to him directly if they had any problems recently.

Hearing his words, the boy blushed, nodded quickly, turned around and ran down the mountain, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing him.

Bai Tu felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Lang Qi staring at the other person’s back fiercely.

Bai Tu: “???” What’s going on?

He started to lose his temper again for no reason. Bai Tu was helpless and raised his hand to rub his ears and neck. When Lang Qi turned into an animal form, his eyes would be friendlier if he rubbed this part.

Sure enough, feeling the slightly cool hand slowly caressing the back of his neck, Lang Qi retracted his gaze, and his eyes quickly changed to another one. He glanced at the rocks outside the cave, thinking about pulling them back to cover the cave.

Realizing something was wrong, Tu immediately withdrew his hand, but was caught by Lang Qi, who kissed his fingertips.

Bai An, who had just heard that Bai Tu could come out, saw this scene as soon as he walked to the cave entrance. Even though he was an elderly orc, he couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. He coughed lightly to remind the two of them, thinking that he had thought that what the horse tribe said was wrong before, and it turned out that they were just slow.

Bai Tu quickly withdrew his hand and pinched Lang Qi on the waist.

A little pain is not worth mentioning. Lang Qi’s eyes are on Bai Tu’s earlobe. He wants to kiss it, but there is someone around and Bai Tu obviously won’t agree. Thinking of this, Lang Qi stared at Bai An with an unfriendly look.

Bai Anton felt under pressure and quickly talked about looking for Bai Tu: “Tu, the place you requested has been prepared. When are we going to plant wheat?”

“Let’s start tomorrow.” Bai Tu said. The temperature has started to drop recently. It is said that it only takes about half a month for the weather to drop below zero. When the salt exchange team set out, it was still clear and warm weather. When they come back, they will have to wear several layers of animal skins. They can plant as soon as the seeds and land are prepared. As for the seeds exchanged at the market this time, they can be kept until next year to plant spring wheat.

Bai An agreed and talked about the candidates for the salt exchange team. He had arranged these all year round and he could arrange them mostly by himself, but this year Bai Tu added a lot of work, and the team was much more complicated than the previous hunting and picking teams. So after he selected the candidates, he had to find Bai Tu to confirm again to make sure that their going to the market would not affect the affairs of the tribe.

Bai Tu checked the numbers and replaced six or seven people, leaving all the orcs from the construction team and the kiln team behind, explaining: “These people are from the construction team and the kiln team. We’ll need them to build a kang recently. We’ll also keep a few from the blacksmith team, as we don’t have enough bite stoppers.”

These explanations were optional, but Bai Tu would rather waste some more words now. After all, part of his work overlapped with Bai An’s, and Bai An trusted him now. However, the fact that he had a close relationship with another tribe posed a threat to Bai An. It could be said that if Bai An had been more thoughtful, his changes to the tribe would not have been so smooth.

Bai An trusted him, so he certainly couldn’t let down that trust. Sometimes an extra explanation could reduce a lot of suspicion. Bai Tu didn’t want to cause unnecessary conflicts just to save trouble.

After hearing Bai Tu’s explanation, Bai An thought of the thing called a kang that they had built in their new residence earlier, and asked curiously, “Tu, can a kang really keep you warm?”

“Yes,” Bai Tu nodded, “It’s just like a stove, but a little bigger. When you burn branches, it will be very warm. But you can’t put too much firewood.” Thinking of this, Bai Tu simply talked to Bai An again and asked him to find a chance to notify him.

The kang is practical, but it may cause accidents if used improperly, especially when they mine coal. If too much of this material is put in, the temperature will rise suddenly, and then it will not be warm, but a direct roasting.

Bai Tu’s words were not in vain. Bai An wrote down these words under the pressure of Lang Qi’s angry glare, and left quickly after finishing his business.

After leaving the cave, Bai An realized belatedly that Lang Qi had ulterior motives in helping their tribe. He regretted it so much that he wanted to slap his thigh. It turned out that this wolf had ill intentions towards Bai Tu for a long time! ! !

Bai An felt extremely sad when he thought that Bai Tu, who was still a child in everyone’s eyes, was caught by the wolf king so easily. There are so many young and handsome guys in the tribe, why did Bai Tu choose the Wolf King? You know, the wolf clan has always been famous for its ferocity. No matter in which aspect, Bai An felt sorry for Bai Tu’s body, but he didn’t dare to confront Lang Qi directly. He walked down the mountain and turned to the kitchen, asking Tu Mu to prepare more food for Bai Tu.

After solving Bai An’s problem, Bai Tu called the wolf clan over to ask how Lang Yang was doing.

The ones arranged by Langze to look after Lang Yang were Lang Zuo and several wolves from the Langqi hunting team. Lang Zuo was the most cheerful, and when he heard Bai Tu was going to ask them, he immediately ran over to answer.

“Yang turned into a beast form at midnight yesterday, and recovered this morning. He is not feeling any discomfort.”

Wolf Yang is not like Wolf Qi. He has never been stabbed by a knife. The drugs he absorbed were basically inhaled, and the volatility of drugs that have not been soaked in water is low. Although he turned into a beast form in the middle, he was conscious and was fine after soaking in the water for half a day.

Bai Tu thought that this medicine was still a hot potato. Once it came into contact with someone, they would be affected and it was not easy to study. Besides, Lang Qi was following him closely now, so he could not try it again. From what happened yesterday, it could be seen that Lang Qi, who had been stabbed, was more susceptible to the effects of the drug than others.

He originally wanted to interrogate Foxtrot, but before he could ask, someone told him about Foxtrot’s current situation.

The wolf clan hated Foxbu so much that the two most loyal orcs in the wolf clan were their partner and the wolf king. Foxbu caused Langqi to become a fallen beast, and even after he recovered, he would not recognize them. All the wolf clan hated Foxbu without exception. Naturally, Foxtrot’s residence was the worst.

Bai Tu said that they should be locked up alone to prevent them from communicating. After Lang Ze was sure that the wound on Shi Hong’s throat could not be healed and he would never be able to speak again, he locked the two of them together and let them torture each other. One could not walk or speak, and the other could only endure the unpleasant smell of the other’s festering wounds.

Besides hunting, there are two things that the Langze team likes to do most: guard at the entrance of Baitu Cave to see how Langqi recovers, and hang around the entrance of the cave where Foxbu is imprisoned to listen to Foxbu’s desperate cries. After listening to them, they feel that Foxbu’s words are not nice, so they directly block the other’s mouth and don’t even give him food.

Fox Bu has become crazy since he returned yesterday at noon, and has been repeating a few sentences over and over. Lang Ze heard it and came to Bai Tu to complain angrily: “Fox Bu said that my brother should become a fallen beast, and he also said that he would kill you. He said that he is the most noble person in the Beast God Continent and he is the Beast God.” Lang Ze curled his lips. How could the Beast God be such a person? He has a vicious heart and is only interested in harming people. Even a three-year-old child knows that the Beast God is a selfless and kind-hearted god.

Hu Bu plotted to murder Lang Qi, cursed Bai Tu, and slandered the Beast God. Lang Ze could not tolerate any of these things. If Bai Tu had not said that Hu Bu could not be killed yet, he would have done it long ago. Not only him, but other wolves could not help but want to take action as well.

Bai Tu pondered these words. Fox Step was indeed crazy, but these contents were consistent with their ending in the book. In the book, he was indeed killed by Foxbu. According to that development, Foxbu might indeed become the highest-ranking orc in the Beast God Continent. As for whether he is the Beast God, this involves a blind spot in knowledge and can be skipped.

Lang Qi should have turned into a fallen beast. Bai Tu glanced at Lang Qi beside him and recalled something. He also remembered a sentence that the big villain suddenly disappeared. Could it be Lang Qi?

If so, does that mean they have changed the ending from the book? Bai Tu suddenly became alert and ordered Langze: “Don’t give him food. When he is willing to tell you what kind of medicine is on the knife, he will have food to eat.”

Foxbu has always been cunning. The information that can be obtained from interrogation now is limited. The other party still hopes to kill them, so he is afraid that he will not be able to answer the questions properly. It is better to continue to starve him. It is better to start from other places. Only when he realizes that he has no one else to turn to and has no other way to go, will he tell the truth.

The most important thing is that even if Fox Bu doesn’t say it, he can still get the answer he wants through another way. Bai Tu calculated the time when Hei Xiao and others left in his mind, and it should not be long before they come next time.

Dao and the Fallen Beast appeared at the same time. Instead of interrogating the cunning and treacherous Fox Step, it is better to start with the Iron Elephant Tribe, with which they have already made friends. Even though their relationship with the Iron Elephant Tribe is just friends of friends, the Iron Elephant Tribe is still more trustworthy than Foxstep.

Bai Tu then gave several instructions, and Langze agreed to them one by one. Without his brother’s support, Langze grew up quickly. Although he was still like a child in front of Langqi and Bai Tu, he was already the next leader who could gradually take on important responsibilities in front of the wolf clan. If Langqi could not recover, with Langze, the new wolf king, the wolf clan would not be in chaos.

Even though he was deeply trusted by the wolves, Langze still wanted his brother to make decisions on everything, just like before. However, when he met Langqi’s gaze towards the stranger again, Langze swallowed back his coquettish words in an instant. Now, if he acted coquettishly, he would not get any comfort, but would be driven away.

There were things to arrange everywhere, and Bai Tu was busy for most of the day. It was not until Langze brought him food in the evening that he realized it was time to eat. However, today’s meal seemed too rich.

Bai Tu called out to Langze who was about to leave: “Why is the food so good today?”

“Huh?” Langze was confused, “It’s the same as before.” He just saw that the cafeteria was distributing roast beef, and he could grab the first batch if he went down now!

Bai Tu opened all the lids on the pottery jars, and saw that the ingredients in two pottery jars that looked exactly the same were completely different. One was full of normal meat, and the other was only half full, with each piece of meat covered in honey, as if it were free.

Langze was stunned: “There is new honey in the cafeteria?!” They discovered the new honey but didn’t tell him!

“Probably not.” Bai Tu likes sweet food, but usually doesn’t add too much on purpose. Tu Mu obviously knows his appetite. He doesn’t know why he suddenly took out the stock that he had been reluctant to use. Bai Tu took out two bowls and divided the honey barbecue into three equal portions, one for Lang Qi and one for Lang Ze. “Go and eat.”

A portion of barbecue weighs three or four pounds, and he can only eat one third at most. Tu Mu still overestimated his appetite.

Langze didn’t care at all about Tumu giving Baitu special treatment. When he heard that it was not a new discovery of honey, the invisible ears on his head drooped. Until Baitu stuffed a small bowl of meat into his mouth, he was so excited that he almost wagged his tail. He proudly held the meat and walked down the mountain while eating. After walking a few steps, he suddenly shivered and felt a little cold for some reason.

Lang Qi stared at Lang Ze’s back until the other person left his sight.

Bai Tu took back his hand that was pinching his waist and said, “Go eat.”

Lang Qi: “I’ll feed you.”

“No.” Bai Tu refused. He was an adult with all his limbs intact and in great health. How could he let someone feed him every meal?

Lang Qi didn’t say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Bai Tu inexplicably felt that his expression was a bit like that of a big abandoned dog. The second before he agreed, he caught a glimpse of the two awake cubs in his peripheral vision and suddenly woke up: “No, you go feed the cubs.” The cubs’ food was brought over together. Tu Mu considerately covered them. With this layer of insulation, the food can be kept for a while longer. It can be fed now or after meals. It’s just that the cubs didn’t wake up just now, and he wanted to feed them later. Now he probably smelled the fragrance of the food.

Feeding his partner inexplicably turned into feeding the cubs. Lang Qi was a little dissatisfied. He looked at Bai Tu deeply and took the food to the bedside.

Bai Tu felt a chill on his back, then he looked again and saw Lang Qi skillfully arranging the cubs on the table beside the bed. He didn’t notice anything wrong and lowered his head to eat.

Two-thirds of the honey barbecue was distributed, and Bai Tu did not finish the remaining food. After all, Tu Mu had prepared more than one dish. When he was hesitating about whether to heat up the rest and continue eating, Lang Qi took the food away, ate it in a few bites, and then started to eat his own.

Bai Tu was stunned. Although orcs had no taboo about eating each other’s food, and some orcs would even grab a bite of the food from other people’s mouths, Lang Qi was an exception. He never ate other people’s food, and even had his own bowl and chopsticks.

Lang Qi didn’t feel anything was wrong at all. After finishing all the food in a flash, he started to boil water, rinsed the dishes and put them on the table outside the cave, then came back and pulled a stone over to block the cave, picked up Bai Tu and walked towards the bathroom. His movements were smooth and seamless, without a single pause.

By the time Bai Tu came to his senses, he had already been soaked in the bathtub.

Lang Qi felt that he was taking too long to take a shower and wanted to help him just like last night.

Bai Tu suddenly woke up, thought of the scene last night, and immediately pushed him away: “I’ll do it myself, you go boil some water.”

A pot of hot water was only enough for one person to wash, so he had to continue boiling water.

Lang Qi didn’t listen to him. He took a shower with cold water, wiped himself twice, and carried Bai Tu to the inner room and put him down.

Even a fool knew what he wanted to do. Bai Tu quickly shook his head: “No, no.” He should be thankful that his current physical condition is more like that of an orc. Otherwise, given last night’s condition, it would be a problem whether he could get out of bed today. He didn’t feel very well in the morning, and now that he has finally recovered a little, he just wants to take a nap.

“Just once.” Lang Qi ignored Bai Tu’s rejection, grabbed his hand and placed it on himself, buried his head in his shoulder, and groaned uncomfortably, “Tu…”

Bai Tu had no resistance to his coquettish tone. He comforted himself in his heart that once or twice would be the same, and he might not see this again in the future, so he should watch and cherish it, and his struggling movements gradually weakened.

Lang Qi got what he wanted and bit his neck. Bai Tu was about to curse when he suddenly saw a big furry tail, and then he felt the tail trying to wrap around his waist.

Bai Tu felt cheated, as it was agreed that the wolf’s tail would not bend.

The next second, the hand holding Wolf’s hair touched a wolf’s ear, and his eyes lit up instantly.

After eating and drinking, Lang Qi could not hide his joy. He hugged the sleeping Bai Tu and kissed him again and again. He did not feel sleepy at all even though he had not slept for two days and two nights.

Just when Lang Qi was so excited that he didn’t know where to put it, the white Tu in his arms suddenly turned into the white ball he had seen last night. Just as he was about to hug him in his arms, a familiar feeling of irritation suddenly arose in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the familiar giant wolf appeared again.
