"It's much faster now. Because we're becoming more familiar with the process, the excavation is much quicker than at the beginning, and the people are very happy." Everyone was pleased with the increased speed. "By the way, has something happened?"
When Haitang returned a few days ago, Qiao Ming didn't ask her anything because she was very busy. Now that he saw that things were almost done, Qiao Ming asked Haitang if something had happened.
“Yes, I suspect there might be a natural disaster,” Haitang said. “It would be more severe than the volcanic eruption and drought of the past few years.”
The drought here has only lasted for less than a year and hasn't posed much of a threat, but... it's still quite serious in other places.
Of course, now is not the time to talk about what happened last time. But this time, Haitang feels that there will be more problems than last time, and the drought will be more severe.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ming's expression immediately changed. "Then... wouldn't this be very dangerous?" Yes, wouldn't this be very dangerous?
"No, our tribe can hold on, but I don't know about others," Haitang said. "If something really happens at the coal mine, we can only close it temporarily." Hearing this, Qiao Ming nodded, and Haitang looked at the miners not far away with a complicated expression.
Because Haitang knew very well that if something really happened, the human race would clearly be in trouble, and then... would these people be able to survive?
Haitang looked somewhat puzzled. Upon hearing this, Qiao Ming glanced at the distance and said, "Sigh... we can't interfere with this matter." Haitang's gaze and expression told Qiao Ming that she couldn't bear to see this happen.
Haitang nodded, "Let's take it one step at a time." There are about five hundred people working in the mine. With so many people mining a lot of coal, there won't be any shortages in supply.
Of course, it was precisely because of these people's efforts that Haitang couldn't bear it. These people were already being exploited by others. When they returned, winter and drought were coming. What would the orcs do?
It's probably obvious without much thought that the fangs would target and then directly fry up these people who originally shared the same roots but later became very different from themselves.
Haitang didn't want to see this hellish life, so she could only hope to work hard to make a change.
"By the way, how much food do we have left over here?" Haitang asked Qiao Ming. Qiao Ming nodded and then led Haitang to see it.
"Not much. Although people deliver food every time, other tribes also come to buy food, making it difficult for the surrounding small tribes to hunt." It's not just the small tribes; even the black bear tribe is in a similar situation.
Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded. "I'll have someone deliver some food in a few days." The Tiger Tribe has harvested sweet potatoes now, and the seeds are quite good. Wheat cultivation is also almost complete.
Because Haitang was worried about something unexpected happening this time, she asked Huoqiu to secretly build a cellar granary to store food. Only under these circumstances did Haitang feel at ease.
Summer weather is usually hot, but this year it's even more unusual. Fox Flower and the others couldn't help but rub their foreheads and sigh as they looked into the distance, "What kind of weather is this? Why is it so hot?"
If it weren't for the fact that she'd been eating much better these days, Fox Flower might have fainted from the weather, and the females around her nodded in agreement.
"It's not just hot; the water in the river seems to have receded. I've heard people around say that something terrible might happen. It's really scary..."
The surrounding females began to whisper among themselves. Hearing this, Fox Flower nodded, "I also felt a little scared. I wonder how the children are doing now?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal. Didn't you hear your husband say that the Tiger Tribe is much better off than here?" Yes, we don't eat or dress well here, but we don't have to worry about anything in the Tiger Tribe. "Your children are out there earning money to buy good food for their sister."
"Making money? Is it our local currency? To be honest, with this money, buying things will be much easier." Not only easier, but also less likely to spoil the meat. The only downside is...
If you want to buy meat, you have to go at a specific time; if you go too early or too late, there won't be any left, which is a bit sad, but many people are still willing to comply, since meat spoils easily when the weather gets hot.
"By the way, have you learned how to make sausages? It was taught to you by a female from the Tiger Tribe." After returning home, Haitang had a female come here to teach her.
"I can. This stuff can be preserved for a long time, so of course I have to learn how. Although my family doesn't hunt much, they don't eat much either, so we can still save a lot of meat to make sausages."
The group chatted happily, and Fox Flower nodded, feeling anticipation and longing for the Tiger Clan. If it were any other time, the people of the Fox Clan might not have survived last winter.
Under these circumstances, everyone understood in their hearts, because what should be said? Everyone was on edge, and many people from the Tiger Clan and Fox Clan would have died if they weren't from those tribes.
The fox tribe has been busy these days. Everyone is working harder to bring back more coal, food for their families, and money for their children.
Things are cheap to buy in the Tiger Tribe. The money earned here is just enough for my daughter and son. Everyone, whether beastman or human, is well taken care of.
