Chapter 57: Supplies stolen from the warehouse
When Lang Lin was leaving, he happened to meet Chu Ange coming up with a little fox that had just finished drinking, followed by Long Chen.
Lang Yi followed them from a distance.
"Father, why did you come up to Langlin?" Chu Ange asked casually, not expecting Shi Yuan to answer.
After seeing Shi Yuan's solemn expression, Chu Ange asked, "Did something happen?"
Shi Yuan thought about it and decided to tell Chu Ange about the Kudong incident and his own guess.
Chu Ange frowned slightly and immediately used his mental power to check - it was indeed empty.
Then she used her mental power to search the tribe inch by inch. The more she searched, the more solemn her expression became. The search had already expanded to outside the tribe, but she still couldn't find any trace of supplies.
Shi Yuan didn't know what she was doing. Seeing her serious expression, he comforted her, "Wolf Forest has already sent people to look for it. They will definitely find it."
It’s not easy to hide so many supplies.
"No need to look for him." Chu Ange immediately turned to Lang Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, go tell Uncle Lin to stop looking, so as not to alert the enemy."
She couldn't find it even with her mental power, and it would be even more impossible for Langlin and his men to find it secretly.
"Okay." Lang Yi immediately went to chase Lang Lin.
"Do you have any idea?" Shi Yuan asked her.
Chu Ange shook his head: "Not yet."
Chu Ange: "Father, I have a guess, there may be no supplies in the cave."
Then she saw Long Chen nodded slightly to her, and she thought that Long Chen agreed with her guess.
Shi Yuan said, "Impossible. The salt is only changed in the spring, and it's only summer now. I watched him put so much salt in there."
Chu Ange: "Whether we have supplies or not, we must prepare for the worst."
Shi Yuan nodded.
If he couldn't find the supplies, he would not only have to endure Langli's frame-up, but he would also have to find a way to fill up the storage hole.
Since the people in the tribe didn’t get any supplies, they wouldn’t help him fill the storage hole.
"What are you guys mumbling about over there?" Tu Yue finished weaving a piece of cloth, came over with the cloth, and said to Chu Ange: "I found another material to weave cloth. The cloth woven is softer and more comfortable than linen."
"Really? Let me see." Chu Ange took the cloth from Tu Yue and pulled her away.
Shi Yuan never let her know about such troubles. Chu Ange knew from the fact that her father deliberately lowered his voice when speaking just now that Shi Yuan was deliberately hiding it from Tu Yue.
Sometimes Chu Ange felt that Shi Yuan protected Tu Yue too well, and excessive protection was actually detrimental to the survival rules of the animal world.
She also said to Shi Yuan, "Father, you overprotect my mother. Once she leaves your protection, how will you let her live?"
Shi Yuan looked shocked and a little angry: "Why did she leave me?"
have to! From then on, Chu Ange stopped persuading her.
For eighteen years, Shi Yuan, despite his lame leg, was able to ensure that Tu Yue had no worries about food and clothing. What's more, he has now recovered his health and is about to take the position of clan leader.
After a while, Lang Yi came back, and ahead of him was Lang Lin, who had returned after being caught up by him.
"Why don't you look for it? What will you do tomorrow if you can't find it?" Lang Lin walked over and said.
Shi Yuan: "Since he wants to frame me, he must have made sufficient preparations and won't let us find him."
Lang Lin turned around anxiously, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Then let's go and make him open the cave and expose his conspiracy in advance."
Shi Yuan shook his head: "He just wants us to go find him to open the storage cave now."
Wolflin was puzzled.
Shi Yuan continued, "The cave is right next to his cave. In the past, if anyone dared to get close, he would stop them in time. Why did he let you in so easily today? He deliberately let you see that the cave was empty. He had expected that you would definitely tell me as soon as possible."
"If we go to him right away to argue, we'll fall into his trap."
Langlin scratched his head vigorously and pulled a handful of hair down: "I don't understand."
Long Chen asked him: "How do you know the cave is empty?"
Wolf Forest blurted out: "I went in and saw it with my own eyes."
Long Chen spread his hands and shrugged, "Don't you understand? He will punish you in public for entering the warehouse cave without permission, and he will bite you back, saying that it was you who stole the supplies from the warehouse cave and framed him."
After hearing this, Lang Lin felt a surge of fear and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, he had made a plan. If he couldn't find the supplies, he would take people to force Langli to open the storage cave and expose his conspiracy.
If Lang Yi hadn't caught up with him in time, he might have fallen into the trap.
Chu Ange had been paying attention to the situation here with her mental power. After hearing what Long Chen said, she was also frightened. She also acted in an accident and was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she asked Lang Yi to go after Lang Lin.
If it was really as Langlin said, and he went to find Langli to open the cave and confront him face to face, it would not only confirm Shiyuan's crime of stealing supplies, but also expose Langlin's unauthorized entry into the cave.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Once the theft of supplies is confirmed, Shi Yuan will not be able to clear himself - because he raised Tu Yue and his daughter too well.
How could a lame, disabled orc raise his wife and daughter so well? It's fed by stolen supplies.
Even though the fact was that he had worked hard, endured the pain of a leg injury, joined the hunting team and went out hunting alone again, and only then was he able to raise his wife and daughter so well, the people in the tribe were unwilling to believe it.
They would rather believe that their interests are being infringed upon than believe in a real man, a real lion, whom they can never surpass.
Even though they knew Shi Yuan would not do this, this would become a thorn between them. In the days to come, whenever Shi Yuan did anything that was detrimental to the interests of the tribe, this matter would be brought up again.
So vicious! Wolf power really grasped the orcs' pain points.
He also knew that he couldn't stop Shi Yuan from becoming the new patriarch, so he tried to trip him up and make his life difficult in the future.
Langlin said immediately: "I will take a few trusted warriors with me, and we will go and catch some prey. Even if there is no food to share with everyone tomorrow, at least there will be some meat to share."
Shi Yuan thought this was also a solution, "I'll go with you."
Long Chen stopped the two of them and said, "I will take care of the supplies. You can ask the gods tomorrow."
Lang Lin said: "What can you think of?"
Shi Yuan believed Long Chen's words very much. If he said there was a way, then there must be a way. "You go back first. Just pretend that this incident never happened and you have never entered the cave."
Lang Lin wanted to say something else, but when he saw Shi Yuan's determined eyes, he nodded and said, "Yuan, I was too cowardly before. This time I will never back down. No matter what the situation is tomorrow, I will stand behind you and support you." After saying that, Lang Lin turned and left.
