Chapter 260 Preparations



If women don't wear them, they suffer. In hot weather, many people start to go out less and have less energy when they are working.

Of course, there are more and more people in the river now. Dongfang Chen took his younger siblings swimming. Of course, little Dongfang Meng is not allowed to go in, and Dongfang Yu is in the water.

Downstream, when many people are swimming, a fence is lowered to keep children away from being swept away by the water. Only under these circumstances can children swim safely.

Haitang was also feeling hot, so she sat by the river and soaked her feet. Looking at the weather, Haitang couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted, because this weather could lead to two different outcomes.

One is that it will get hotter and hotter, and the other is that it will be extremely cold soon, because sometimes two negatives make a positive.

After soaking her feet, Haitang glanced at the children not far away, and as she picked up Dongfang Meng, she said to Dongfang Chen, "Don't play too wildly, be careful..."

"Yes, Mom, we will." Dongfang Chen nodded immediately upon hearing this. Dongfang Meng looked on with envy as she watched her brother in the water.

"Mom, I want to go down too." He said to Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at Dongfang Meng and ruffled Dongfang Meng's hair.

"What are you doing down there, a girl? Go back home and swim." Haitang said. There was a place with water at home, in the cave.

Haitang made the child useful in the cave, and she would sometimes go into the water herself. Of course, most of the time, Haitang would watch over Dongfang Meng.

When Dongfang Meng heard this, she nodded. After returning, she went swimming with Haitang, which was the best way to cool off in this kind of weather.

Over the next few days, Haitang was preparing some things. Of course, while preparing, she also started thinking about something else, which was to go to the coal mine.

When she returned, Haitang brought back a lot of mung beans for the workers there. The workers were relieved to see Haitang come back.

"Has something happened?" Haitang asked Qiao Ming, who nodded in response.

"Yes, a lot has happened these days. The surrounding tribes have started to run out of food due to problems with wild animals, so they tried to rob us, but they were quickly driven away." He said, looking at Haitang. "But this can't go on."

Hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but frown. Because those orcs wouldn't give up so easily, they would definitely make another move.

"I understand." Haitang knew in her heart that the beastmen around her were capable of anything when they had no food.

At this moment, Haitang spoke up, "Make a record of which tribes have come. Also, send a message to the Black Bear tribe and ask them to send people here to serve as guards."

Qiao Ming immediately nodded, not objecting to Haitang's approach. He quickly began to spread the news, and the Black Bear Clan arrived soon, numbering over a hundred. The Black Bear Clan had been experiencing a shortage of food and fodder these days, but their supplies were better than those of other tribes.

Since the hunting has decreased, the trade with Haitang's side is still ongoing. When Haitang came to hire people, they agreed without hesitation. After all, the people of the Black Bear Tribe are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of losing face by acting as someone else's watchdog.

Sometimes, you can't live too hard just because of saving face. Haitang breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the Black Bear Clan and then selected some tribes that came looking for trouble.

Finally, we chose to trade with several tribes so that we could jointly defend against external enemies. The trade involved having the other tribes also transport coal.

Of course, those tribes originally had no intention of agreeing; why work when they could rob? But after seeing the Black Bear tribe and the fact that this territory originally belonged to the Lion and Leopard tribes, they began to hesitate.

You should know that a few days ago, when the Tiger Clan was besieged in this coal mine, the Lion Clan and Leopard Clan immediately selected several thousand people to attack the Flower Tiger Clan.

The Flower Tiger Clan was once the dominant force in this region. Although there is a possibility of a change in leadership, it cannot erase the strength of the opposing force. Even a powerful clan like the Flower Tiger Clan would choose to back down, so they would be even more so.

Haitang had her own reasons for sending people to transport coal. She wanted to provide food for others and also to obtain more coal for herself. With coal, no one would be afraid of the cold.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that it is better to have this in case of emergency. Even if there is no possibility of severe cold, it is good to keep more. After all, coal can be stored for a long time.

Many people were still willing to join Haitang's cooperation, and Haitang simply and coldly went to do the shipping business. Under these circumstances, there were almost no people who came to cause trouble.

Because the tribes that cooperated made it clear from the beginning that if anyone dared to cut off their source of income, they would cut off the other party's lifeline. Whether it was one tribe or several tribes, that was another matter.

Haitang didn't care what would happen to other tribes. If a natural disaster really came, Haitang wouldn't be able to save everyone, because she had already gone through so much hardship just to save the Tiger Tribe. She really didn't have the ability or capacity to save other tribes.

After arranging things at the coal mine, Haitang began inquiring about the progress, asking, "How's the excavation going?"
