Gray Wolf Tribe.
Under the leadership of the gray wolf chieftain, the gray wolf beastmen wove baskets for ten days, and the cave was piled high with baskets and hampers.
It must be said that orcs have amazing stamina and are incredibly efficient at work.
As soon as the weather cleared up, the gray wolf leader organized everyone. Some of the males went out hunting, while others brought the baskets and hampers they had woven over the past ten days to Su Tang's house for Lin Xia to check their quality.
Those that don't meet the quality standards have to be reworked.
Each orc's basket is also marked, and if someone's basket is not up to standard, they will be allocated less bamboo next time.
The less you do, the less supplies you get in return.
Therefore, everyone was very proactive and serious, and no one dared to be careless.
The gray wolf tribe had stored sweet potatoes and white stones brought by the strong wolves. Although it wasn't enough to feed every beastman, at least no females or cubs got sick.
This is quite rare during the rainy season.
The gray wolf orcs were very excited. They carried mountains of baskets and hampers to Su Tang's house, their faces beaming with smiles.
They have never had such a peaceful rainy season. Although the rainy season is not over yet, they are not worried at all.
On the other side.
Inside the cave in Langman.
The stench was unbearable, and insects, ants, and flies made their home here.
Wolfman's mates went out hunting in the heavy rain for several days in a row, but they didn't bring back any prey. One of them even went out and never came back.
For ten whole days, the wolfman had no food and could only drink water.
She had already eaten all the sweet potatoes that the leader of the gray wolves had given her before the rainy season arrived.
She was so hungry that she caught and ate the rats and insects in the cave. When she ran out of insects, she gnawed on animal hides.
Because the food was so terrible, he suffered from either diarrhea or constipation. After ten days, Wolfman became so thin that he was barely recognizable as a human, looking even more wretched than the fleeing orcs.
"The rain has stopped, why aren't you going out hunting? Do you want me to starve to death?!"
Wolfman grabbed a rock and angrily threw it at his partner, who was sprawled on the ground.
Without any more food, she was really starving to death.
Their mates were also too weak from hunger. The wolfman had insects to eat, but they couldn't even get any insects and had to eat dirt to fill their stomachs.
Hearing Wolfman's words, he staggered to his feet and went out hunting.
"Gurgle!"
Wolfman's stomach kept growling.
The insects in the cave had long been eaten up. She tidied her messy hair, grabbed a small insect, and casually stuffed it into her mouth.
"By the time those useless guys get back, I'll be starving. I'd better go out and find something to eat."
Wolfman couldn't take it anymore, so he got up from the ground and left the cave.
In the past, after the rainy season, the males would go out hunting, and the females would take their cubs to the back mountain to find food. Sometimes, when they were extremely hungry, they would even pull up grass from the ground and eat it.
Wolfman thought he would see everyone fighting over food when he came out.
But to her surprise, when she arrived at the tribe, she didn't see a single female or cub.
Wolfman was a little confused. This shouldn't be! Don't they go hungry during the rainy season?
That's impossible!
After waiting for a while, we saw a group of males carrying strange things and marching out of the tribe.
She pulled a male aside and asked:
"What is this thing? Where are you going? Where have all the females in the tribe gone?"
The male was startled to see that Wolfman was so thin she looked like a ghost, but he still answered her question.
"These are baskets and hampers. They were taught to us by Atang's mother. The chief told us to take them to Atang's mother for inspection. If there are no problems, we will take them to the rock sheep tribe to exchange for supplies."
"The females are all in the cave. They've been busy for ten days and are resting."
After the male finished speaking, he quickly followed the group without waiting for Wolfman to reply.
Wolfman was stunned for a moment.
She remembered that before the rainy season, the chieftain had sent an orc to ask her if she wanted to learn how to weave baskets. She was so hungry that she couldn't even get enough to eat, yet he wanted her to work. She refused without even thinking about it.
Wolfman looked at the long line, each gray wolf orc carrying dozens of baskets on his back, stacked high and tied together with vines, which was quite a sight.
I can't believe I've made so much in just ten days!
She immediately felt resentful.
If she can do so much, why doesn't the leader call her more often?
But then I thought, what's the use of this broken thing? I can't eat or drink it.
And then there's Ah Tang's family, living in a leaky wooden house. They've probably already gotten sick from the rain, and the house has probably collapsed by now.
Thinking of this, Langman suddenly felt that being hungry for ten days was nothing.
A-Tang's family must be living a worse life than her!
At least she has a partner and lives in a tribe, but A-Tang has nothing. Not only does she not have a tribe, but she also has to raise five cubs!
Wolfman spat, touched his face, and ruffled his tangled hair before quickly following behind the group.
She wanted to see Ah Tang make a fool of herself.
The thought that there were orcs even worse off than herself made her feel less hungry, less itchy, and full of energy.
The leader of the gray wolves led his team to the outside of the wooden house.
Seeing that the wooden house was still standing and showed no signs of destruction after being washed by the rain, the gray wolf leader was relieved.
He was also thinking that if the wooden house broke down, he would ask the orcs in the tribe to help dig a cave, and then invite A-Tang's family into the tribe.
I never expected this wooden house to be so sturdy.
The gray wolf orcs were also amazed, craning their necks and looking curiously at the wooden house.
This wood is incredibly strong and durable, just like stone!
How did they do it?
This is amazing!
Upon seeing the gray wolf leader approach, Xiao Fu immediately ran into the house to tell Su Tang and Lin Xia.
As the three of them came out, they saw the tall baskets and crates on the backs of the gray wolf orcs.
"You've done so much?" Lin Xia was somewhat surprised.
She taught Wolf Nini and the others for only a little over ten days, and the gray wolf beastman's practical skills are just too strong!
The gray wolf chieftain chuckled, "There's nothing much to do during the rainy season, so everyone just weaves these things in the cave. See if this works for you. If it's fine, I'll have them send it to the rock sheep tribe for exchange."
This was only because they weren't full and didn't have much energy; otherwise, they could have made even more!
The gray wolf orcs were quite proud, and seeing the surprised looks on Su Tang and Lin Xia's faces, they straightened their backs with pride.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Lin Xia nodded and told them to put down the baskets and hampers so she could check their quality.
This was suggested by Su Tang.
Since we're going to exchange it, we have to control the quality; we can't send out inferior products.
The gray wolf orcs lined up, their baskets placed in front of them. Lin Xia inspected them and found that most of them were of good quality, with only a few failing to meet the standards.
Some were not woven securely and would fall apart with a pull, while others were soft and shapeless, and still others had holes so large that the young could crawl in and out of them.
After taking stock of those that failed the test, there were still more than a thousand left.
