Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 88

Chapter 88

was originally just a guess, but after seeing Lang Shun’s actions, there is basically no doubt that this is the truth.

Seeing that the quiet Wolf Shun showed signs of struggling again, Bai Tu hurriedly called to Wolf Zuo: “Go get some food, and remember to put more meat.” The kid ran so far away from the tribe, went back and forth, and struggled for such a long time. He must be very hungry and should be fed more.

Wolf Zuo howled and went down the mountain to get food. Perhaps because he heard about food and meat, Wolf Shun returned to his previous silence. In addition, no Foxbu told him any new orders, so he did not struggle until Wolf Zuo brought him food.

Dinner was as sumptuous as usual. When Lang Shun smelled the food, his eyes were no longer confused. Bai Tu picked up the meat and planned to feed him. After all, Lang Shun’s four paws were tied.

“I’ll do it.” Lang Qi took the food over.

Bai Tu thought that Lang Qi was feeding him, and the next second, he saw Lang Qi took a stool, put the food on the stool and pushed it over.

Lang Shun started eating without hesitation.

“Just feed it like this?” Bai Tu was stunned. This was not what he thought.

“That’s how you feed it.” Langze nodded, and like Langqi, he brought another stool and put the soup on it.

Bai Tu was silent for a moment and didn’t say anything. Forget it, at least there was still a stool.

Whether adults or cubs, they are always more sleepy than usual after eating, and Wolf Shun starts yawning after eating.

Considering how active Lang Shun was this afternoon, Bai Tu decided to let him rest for a while while he thought of a solution.

Without disturbing Lang Shun again, Bai Tu took Hei Xiao out and asked in a low voice on the way: “When was the last time that Guhuo appeared? Is there any solution?” Hei Xiao

sighed: “It’s been more than 20 years. The last one was used by the son of the witch doctor who bewitched the leader. He wanted to learn from his father and use medicine to control the leader’s partner. Later he was found out and the witch doctor’s son was burned to death. No one has used this method since then.”

The word “Guhuo” sounds too terrible. Most tribal leaders can accept the existence of witch doctors, even if the witch doctor’s status is higher than their own, because witch doctors can cure diseases. Even leaders may get sick and injured. For those who are often injured, having a witch doctor is equivalent to having more lives. Therefore, many leaders will take the lead in worshipping witch doctors, and it is worth exchanging supplies for their own health.

The situation is completely different for witch doctors who can bewitch others. Some witch doctors bewitch the leader, and some bewitch the leader’s partner. Even if these two behaviors are not done by the same witch doctor, it is enough to make everyone alert. After all, if one can bewitch others, he can also bewitch himself. Therefore, the witch doctor who has this secret medicine is not only unwelcome, but also a target of everyone’s pursuit. Since the witch doctor’s son was executed, there has been no third witch doctor using this medicine.

Hei Xiao didn’t expect that Fox Bu had this backup plan. He wanted to kill him directly, but Bai Tu obviously had some use for him.

Bai Tu pondered these words, but this time there was obviously no content that could be connected. The executed witch doctor’s son had been dead for more than 20 years, and the witch doctor died even earlier. It was impossible for Fox Step to be connected with these two people.

Where did Foxleap get the medicine? Bai Tu frowned, unable to understand. He was still remembering the familiar yet unfamiliar tone of those words.

“Brother, can you tell me about what happened in the past?” Bai Tu said. He wanted to find some clues based on his own experience.

This one word almost made Hei Xiao lose his mind. He had always been worried that Bai Tu acknowledged him as his brother who suddenly appeared because of their previous friendship. He knew that Bai Tu had lost his memories of the past ten years, so he didn’t dare to mention too many things in the past, for fear that Bai Tu would feel uncomfortable if he said too much. Because to Bai Tu himself, he is completely two different people now and he was before he lost his memory. Suddenly saying something unfamiliar to him is definitely not a good thing.

During the day in the cave, Bai Tu said to give him some time, so Hei Xiao waited for the other party to digest it slowly. He decided to wait until Bai Tu had digested it before doing anything else, and he could stay here with him all the time. Hei Xiao has already prepared for the worst. At worst, the two of them will continue to get along in this way, neither relatives nor friends.

This address immediately put Hei Xiao’s heart at ease. No matter what, as long as Bai Tu was willing to call him brother, it would be the best. Especially now that there was no one else around, Bai Tu acknowledged his identity not just to appease Lang Qi, which made Hei Xiao even happier.

“Brother?” Bai Tu called out softly without waiting for an answer. Could it be that what happened in the past was too secret to be told? But he really wanted to find out about these things as soon as possible, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart urging him to do so.

Hei Xiao immediately came to his senses and nodded: “I can tell you, I can tell you anything.”

It was a bit cold outside, so Bai Tu simply took Hei Xiao back to his cave and let Lang Qi take care of the cubs for a while, while he and Hei Xiao went to another room.

Lang Qi looked at the two of them unkindly.

Bai Tu explained helplessly: “We really have something to say, something very important. You take good care of the cubs.” Although he trusted Lang Qi very much, their previous experiences were not just his own business after all. In addition, he felt that there was always a sense of tension when Hei Xiao and Lang Qi were in the same place. Bai Tu thought it would be better to separate them.

Hearing this, Lang Qi said nothing. He carried the two cubs back to the inner room. His back looked inexplicably desolate, like a poor person abandoned by a heartless man.

Bai Tu immediately shook his head, threw this terrible association out of his mind, and grabbed Hei Xiao to talk about business.

Hei Xiao has always been open about everything he knows, right from the beginning. This time it was Bai Tu who asked, so of course he didn’t hide anything.

“Our father’s name is Bai Luo, and you have the same surname as him. My beast form is a black rabbit, and my father made me take the surname of the tribe. Most people in the Black Eagle tribe have their original forms as eagles, with only a few having different original forms. You were only three years old when you disappeared, and you had just learned to change into human form, but it was not stable enough, and you would change into beast form again if you were not

careful. Our beast form was smaller than other cubs, and our father was worried about leaving you in the tribe, so he would take you with him wherever he went. We didn’t expect to encounter the Red Eagle tribe and get captured.” Cubs can usually change into human form at around three years old, but different cubs can persist for different lengths of time. Some weaker cubs can only persist for a short while, while stronger cubs can sometimes persist for half a day or even longer. When Bai Tu was a child, he couldn’t maintain his human form. If someone suddenly appeared, he would turn back into a little rabbit. Not to mention how dangerous it is to reveal their original size, the fighting between individual cubs is extremely dangerous for the miniature rabbit cubs.

Hei Xiao was sensible by then and knew not to reveal his beast form in front of other people. Bai Luo was also worried that taking both cubs out would arouse more suspicion, so he kept the younger son with him on the pretext of loving him. Although most orcs like to let their cubs roam free, no one would say anything if someone loved their cubs. Unexpectedly, even with such caution, Bai Luo was still exposed and captured by the Red Eagle Tribe.

There were too many people in the Red Eagle tribe. Even if several tribes cooperated, they could only drive the people out, and none of the captured orcs and cubs were found.

Hei Xiao wanted to find his father and younger brother, but he was too young at that time and had lost his father’s protection. No one knew who his other relative was, and he was already a target of bullying in the tribe, let alone finding someone.

Fortunately, the Black Hawk tribe had enough food, so even though Hei Xiao was just a child, he would not starve to death.

A few years later, there was a civil strife in the tribe due to a fight between one of the leaders. Hei Xiao picked up Hei Yan, who was about the same age as his brother, and raised him. The two young cubs tried to reduce their presence in the tribe as much as possible, and most of the time they found food on their own and rarely appeared in front of other people.

Hei Xiao often looked for opportunities to go out, but entering an unfamiliar territory was a very risky thing. Plus, he couldn’t fight in beast form. Before Hei Yan came of age, he only dared to search around the Black Hawk tribe, and of course found nothing.

Heiyan is the child of the previous leader, who was his uncle. He killed his own brother and became the leader. The first thing Heiyan did after he became an adult was to defeat the leader and avenge his father.

After helping Hei Yan stabilize the tribe, Hei Xiao began to look for his father and brother in farther places. Last year, he finally got news, but it was not good news. None of the orcs who were brought back to the Red Eagle tribe at the beginning survived.

This news was a huge blow to Hei Xiao. Maybe it was because he still had a glimmer of fantasy deep in his heart, or maybe it was a habit formed over the years, Hei Xiao liked to go to the markets on various continents.

When Hei Xiao met Bai Tu, he felt the same as Bai Tu, a kind of joy that came from the bottom of his heart. Plus, Bai Tu looked to be about the same age as Hei Yan, which meant he was not much different from his younger brother. For this reason, even though he knew that stopping a strange orc in the market was a very dangerous thing, he still took the risk and asked Bai Tu if he was captured by Langze and others.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the Beast God Continent that orcs with small beast-like bodies are not blessed by the Beast God. But for them, there is another layer of threat. Orcs in some tribes like to capture such orcs and bring them back. Because their beast forms are relatively small, their combat effectiveness is usually at the bottom, so there is no need to worry about escaping. In human form, he is thinner than others and very easy to control.

When he saw the white picture for the first time, Hei Xiao even thought that if his younger brother was still alive, he would probably look like this. Upon learning that Bai Tu was not the captured orc, Hei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time felt an indescribable disappointment. The interaction between several people gave him an illusion. If they were not partners or affiliations, then only orcs who grew up together could get along so closely. Therefore, Hei Xiao at that time directly denied the possibility that Bai Tu was his younger brother.

In their later interactions, Hei Xiao learned about the relationships between the few people, and that thought in his mind arose again, but at that time he would rather keep this thought in his heart, because as long as he didn’t expose it, he could treat Bai Tu as his own brother. If you really speak out your thoughts and get denied, you won’t even be able to deceive yourself.

Until he met another orc from the Red Eagle Tribe in the Iron Elephant Tribe. That man was more trusted by Wu Lai and knew another truth.

There were actually some orcs left alive from the first batch of captured orcs, but only one survived. He didn’t even have a name when he was captured. It was only later that his father gave him a name.

At that time, one of the captured orcs and their cubs would die every now and then. Bai Luo knew that he and his child would not live long, and he couldn’t bear to see his child die without a name, so he named him Tu. Later, Bai Luo died, and Bai Tu was the only one left from the first batch of cubs. He was locked in a secret room in the Red Eagle tribe that only Wu Lai could enter. It was not until after the snow season last year that Foxbu took Bai Tu away, and Hong Guo never saw him again.

Hei Xiao was completely confused when he heard what the other party said. They were both rabbits and their bodies were relatively small, which could be a coincidence because there were still a few small rabbits in the Black Hawk tribe. This was also the reason why he did not judge Bai Tu as his brother because of these two reasons and could only keep this idea in his heart. But if the names are the same, it is no longer a coincidence.

Hei Xiao asked the other party about the time when Bai Tu left the Red Eagle Tribe, his appearance, his height… He asked everything he could remember, and basically all of them corresponded to the Bai Tu he knew.

There is also a very small possibility that it is really a coincidence, but Hei Xiao has an inexplicable intuition that this is his brother and he has not recognized the wrong person.

Hei Xiao said these things, observing Bai Tu’s expression and reaction from time to time.

Bai Tu pondered what the other party said, and soon discovered that Hei Xiao was looking at him more and more frequently. He was a little confused: “Brother, what’s wrong?”

He always felt that Hei Xiao had returned to his cautious look at the beginning.

Heixiao considered his words and finally decided to tell the truth: “Hongguo said that you were different from the other cubs when you were captured, and you can’t speak when you grew up.”

Hongguo’s original words were that Bai Tu was a fool, but Heixiao felt that was an exaggeration. Looking at Bai Tu now, he knew that he couldn’t be a fool. It must be that the Red Eagle Tribe treated them too harshly and scared Bai Tu. Look at how smart Bai Tu is now. He can even make iron, which only the Iron Elephant Tribe knows how to make, not to mention many items they have never seen before.

Hei Xiao’s only impression of his younger brother was that little rabbit. He had only seen it transform into a human form once, and before he even had the chance to take a closer look, Bai Tu had already transformed back into an animal form. Therefore, he had no idea what the difference was between his younger brother when he was a child and other cubs.

It was also because he had not looked at his human-shaped brother carefully that he did not recognize him at first. Hei Xiao regretted very much that he did not look at Bai Tu more when he was a child, otherwise they would have recognized each other half a year ago. Hei Xiao apparently forgot that the cub’s appearance would change as it grew up.

Bai Tu blinked: “You said I was a fool before?” So I was a fool from the beginning?

Hei Xiao shook his head, disagreeing with this statement: “You’re not a fool, you just don’t like to talk.”

Bai Tu, however, felt that what he said should be correct, and he thought about a possibility that he had always missed.

Before today, he always thought that the original owner was injured, lost part of his memory, and became a fool when he was picked up by Bai An. Or maybe he traveled through time when he was picked up by Bai An, but because of his injury, his memory of the modern era had not recovered, so he only remembered the name Bai Tu.

But if he has never been able to speak and has never communicated with others since he was a child, then is there another possibility that he has been alone from the beginning to the end? It’s just that I was myself before and my memory hadn’t been restored, and now I am myself with modern memories. Bai Tu thought of the young man in his dream who looked somewhat like Hei Xiao. If he guessed correctly, that was their father Bai Luo. Maybe it was because he had transformed into beast form more often recently, but he seemed to have dreamed of those scenes more than once.

Thinking of the possibility that he was the original owner, and then contacting Hei Xiao who said that he was brought to the East Continent by Hu Bu, Bai Tu decided to interrogate Hu Bu again.

Bai Tu stood up: “Let’s go find Fox Bu.”

Hei Xiao was stunned. He didn’t expect that the first thing Bai Tu did after telling him about the matter was to find Fox Bu: “What for?”

Bai Tu expressed his guess: “He may have used a secret medicine on me.”

Hei Xiao’s face suddenly changed: “What?!”

“I think the tone of his coaxing voice is very familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere, and…” Bai Tu recalled some things. His first impression of the world was a book, so the question is, why did they talk about a book inexplicably at the class reunion?

It was just that in the beginning he was worried about the fate of the tribe and didn’t pay attention to these things. Now the more he thought about those strange things, the more they seemed wrong. Even though they had just graduated for two years and were chatting and complaining together, several classmates would not deliberately tell the contents of the book in such detail in front of him, a person with the same name as him. They even described the tragic scenes of freezing to death in great detail, for fear that he couldn’t hear it. Now he can’t even remember who the classmates were who were talking to him, he just remembers that this incident happened.

Bai Tu initially believed in the contents of the book deep in his memory, and was very afraid of the protagonists, Fox Step and Shi Hong. If you think about it carefully, he knows the two protagonists too well, and this understanding is a little too deliberate, as if someone has instilled a complete and detailed memory into his brain. It’s almost stated directly that they are the protagonists, don’t mess with them, everything will go smoothly for them, but you will freeze to death in the heavy snow in winter all your life.

Bai Tu hadn’t found the loophole before, and even though he felt it was strange, he just thought it was because of time travel, so he had a clearer understanding of this content.

But Lang Shun’s reaction today made him have another guess. Is it possible that this content was actually implanted into his brain by someone else? Just like Langshun was bewitched and had no choice but to listen to Foxbu’s words, someone had given him medicine and told him some things that did not exist at all, but after his brain automatically filled in the blanks, it became what he remembered.

If this speculation is true, then the source of the problem lies with Foxbu, who inexplicably led him out of the Red Eagle Tribe.
