"Found it." Hu Shen's expression softened slightly when he mentioned the tiger cub.
Upon hearing this, Niu Li's face lit up with surprise, his eyes wide as big as copper bells.
"Really?! Where are the tiger cubs? Let's hurry and take them back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Everyone is waiting for the king to return!"
Niu Li said impatiently.
He looked around, searching for the tiger cubs.
"No rush, I have a few more things to tell you to do," Hu Shen interrupted him.
Niu Li nodded hurriedly and agreed without saying a word. He patted his bulging chest muscles twice, making two "bang" sounds.
"Your Majesty, please tell me your orders!"
The king only brought him, one orc, out this time. Even Eagle Swift had to stay in the tribe. He had to seize this opportunity and make a good impression on the king.
He wanted Yingjie to know that he was the king's most capable subordinate!
"Go back to the Beast Mountain again and bring back more of the food, animal hides, and white stones that I left there. Bring back some of everything that can be found in the Beast Mountain."
The passionate Niu Li: "??"
What does Wang need the supplies for?
Does the King not intend to return to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and instead choose to stay here?
Niu Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Wang, how much is 'some'?" Niu Li asked cautiously again.
Orcs have little concept of numbers.
He was unsure what to do.
Hu Shen lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
They led Niu Li to a hill.
Looking down, you can see the wooden house where Su Tang's family lives.
He pointed to the wooden house and said in a deep voice:
"It'll be enough to fill this wooden house, no, let's fill the wooden house and the open space outside."
That should be enough for a female family to live on for a long time, right?
Niu Li stared wide-eyed at the wooden house below the hill, somewhat bewildered.
So big!
This wooden hut must be as big as the cave in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain where they store food!
If we fill the wooden houses and open spaces, wouldn't we be emptying out the king's cave?!
The king definitely doesn't want to go back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain! That must be it!
Seeing that Niu Li didn't speak, Hu Shen turned to ask, "Is there any other question?"
"No! No problem!" Niu Li shook his head, his face trembling.
No, he had to go back and tell Yingjie the news so he could figure something out. Wang couldn't not return to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Without a king, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts has lost its leader.
What's the point of them staying at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?
Niu Li was dejected and preoccupied, and turned to leave.
Hu Shen remembered something and called out to him.
"etc."
Niu Li's face lit up with joy. Had Wang changed his mind?
He turned around expectantly, only to hear Hu Shen say, "Select another twenty, no, thirty strong males and bring them over with the supplies. They should be males without mates and have strong hunting abilities. They can stay here from now on."
“Each male who is willing to come will receive a bag of white stones.”
Anyway, if the males can't finish eating the white stones, they'll eventually end up in the females' hands.
Hu Shen was very satisfied with his arrangements.
That way, after he takes the tiger cubs back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the female family will be safe and sound.
Niu Li smiled on the outside, but was crying inside.
Oh no, the king needs so many males, he must be planning to establish a separate tribe.
Did they do something wrong that made the king angry?
Carrying Hu Shen's mission, Niu Li headed back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain with a heavy heart.
...
afternoon.
Beneath the thick clouds, the light seemed to take shape.
The air grew increasingly stuffy, and even the insects in the trees stopped chirping.
The orcs of the Gray Wolf tribe, however, changed their previous somber atmosphere. Under the arrangement of the Gray Wolf chieftain, they asked Lin Xia to teach the females how to weave tools such as baskets and bamboo baskets.
There are two males and two females who were chosen to learn first, and then they will teach the other gray wolf beastmen after they have learned.
The gray wolf orcs were all very enthusiastic and fought tooth and nail to get this spot.
The leader reserved one for Wolf Nini, and chose the rest as young orcs who were quick-witted and learned quickly.
As a housewife, Lin Xia is very willing to learn from others.
Before, I could chat with the other women in the neighborhood, but after moving here, I don't have any neighbors, and life has become much more dull.
After Su Tang told her about the tutoring opportunity, she agreed without hesitation.
With something to do, Lin Xia became more energetic than before.
The chicken coop that Xiao Fu had been longing for was finally built.
The chicken coop is large enough to house hundreds or even a hundred chickens. It's right next to the fields, and the chicken droppings can be used directly as fertilizer in the fields.
Eight pheasants, each the size of an ostrich, were put into the chicken coop.
Su Tang also took her kittens to visit.
The kitten pressed its head against the fence, eagerly watching the pheasants inside.
Seeing the furry thing makes me want to grab it...
There was a small pheasant among the eight large pheasants. Sensing the blatantly dangerous gaze, the pheasants huddled in a corner, trembling.
Except for the baby pheasants, all the other hens were cut bald.
It was completely naked, as if it were about to be plucked and cooked.
Su Tang looked at the featherless chicken inside and her lips twitched.
You can tell whose work it is without even looking.
"Xiao Fu, it's normal that you're not doing well raising chickens for the first time. Don't be discouraged if they don't survive. We can catch more next time." Su Tang couldn't help but give Xiao Fu a heads-up, seeing his longing expression.
Xiao Fu nodded seriously, "Sister, I know. Brother said that if it dies, we'll roast it and eat it."
He looked at the pheasant and licked his lips.
pheasant:"……"
Su Tang: "..." She seemed to be overthinking it. Sadness and such didn't seem to exist for the little wolf cub.
...
Wolf Strong delivered the white stone to the gray wolf leader.
The gray wolf leader didn't want it in the first place. He was a male with a missing arm, and now he had to raise a female and three cubs. How many white stones could he possibly have?
But seeing Lang Zhuang's sincere and persistent expression, he accepted it anyway.
"Alright, I'll accept your white stone. From now on, live a good life with Wolf Nini and have a litter of cubs after the rainy season."
The gray wolf leader patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him.
Wolf Strong's dark face flushed slightly as he nodded and replied, "I will try my best, Chief."
After Lang Zhuang left, the gray wolf leader weighed the pottery jar in his hand.
I didn't notice just now, but this thing is quite heavy.
It must be something new that Ah Tang made; he'd never seen it before.
How many white stones can be contained in such a small thing?
The gray wolf leader didn't pay much attention. He opened the pottery jar and saw that it was covered with white stones that had been ground to powder.
He froze instantly!
The earthenware jar was very thin, less than a finger's width thick, completely different from the stone jar he had imagined.
The white stones inside were also ground up, filling the container to the brim, much more than large pieces of white stone.
The gray wolf leader paused for a moment, then poked inside with his finger.
It also contains white stone powder!
