As the weather got hotter, Haitang sat directly inside the pergola when she went out, looking out at the people registering.
"I made mung bean sweet soup today. You can have a sip; it's refreshing." Haitang said to the people in front of her. Everyone nodded and went to drink the sweet soup immediately.
The sugar water was very sweet. After drinking the chilled sugar water from the well, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling as if the summer heat was dissipating from their bodies.
"But to be honest, the weather is really hot. I went out a few days ago and found that many plants had died from the heat. Not only that, the water in the river is getting lower and lower, and the plants are suffering even more." Many people became worried when they thought about this.
"Why are you worried about this? Aren't we working hard here in the Tiger Tribe?" another race immediately said, but the man sighed instead.
"What do you know? There's less and less food outside. How much food do you think the Tiger Tribe has? If there's no food, why would anyone hire us to work?" Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
In the Tiger Tribe, people are content with having enough to eat every day, as long as they work, they can get meat. If this kind of life were suddenly taken away by others, it would be a devastating blow to the tribe.
"That's probably impossible. I don't think the Tiger Clan has any intention of doing so." Indeed, it seemed the Tiger Clan didn't have that idea either, and they didn't say anything after hearing this.
However, everyone began to carry a heavy feeling. Haitang noticed that for the next few days, the people looked at her but hesitated to speak.
"Um... Lord Haitang, we'd like to know, if things remain the same after a few more days, will you allow us to leave?" someone couldn't help but ask.
If things continue like this, will they force me to leave? Upon hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but pause slightly and look at the group of people. Seeing that they were all tense, she was about to speak.
"Sir, we can eat half the amount of food each day from now on, please don't make us leave." Without the ability to work and food to eat, they might become food if they returned to their tribe.
The race did not want this to happen, so they could only look at Haitang with fear. Hearing this, Haitang looked at the race and the others, and the other races also said, "Yes, we can work, we are very capable."
"Don't worry, I haven't said I don't need you yet," Haitang said. Although the weather was hot, the coal mine still needed coal. The blacksmiths and the restaurants all used it.
Of course, there are also many customers who, due to lack of funds, have begun to reduce their coal mining operations. However, even so, Haitang still has no intention of giving up mining.
It wasn't just the Tiger Tribe; the Lion Tribe and Leopard Tribe were doing the same thing. The Lion Tribe and Leopard Tribe also started to cover up their farms, just like the roof of the Begonia Tree.
With the cover on, the temperature inside will be much cooler, and the vegetables can grow. Of course, the water well formation will also slow down, so there is not too much water shortage, but we have started to conserve water.
Haitang wants to take a bath now, but with limited water resources, she won't soak in it; instead, she can just scrub herself.
After hearing Haitang's answer, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's go get to work." They left one by one to get to work, while Haitang shook her head, looking rather helpless.
At this moment, Haitang noticed some movement not far away. Da Yi grabbed a hyena and immediately looked at Qiao Ming, saying, "Brother Qiao Ming, this is a hyena. It's been roaming around outside. I'm afraid that in a few days, a hyena tribe will come to attack the beastmen and humans here."
"Hmm." Qiao Ming nodded, looking at the captured hyena. It was filthy all over, and you could smell a foul stench when you got close. To be honest, it was truly one of a kind among orcs to live such a miserable life.
Upon seeing the hyenas, Qiao Ming immediately said, "Make everyone be on high alert." Since they were already here, there was no need to be polite. Upon hearing this, Da Yi and the others nodded.
The Black Bear clan knew that the Hyena clan might come to ambush them, so they hired more people to help, and for free. Of course, don't ask why the Black Bear clan was so generous.
There's a reason for this. The Black Bear Clan isn't stupid. The Tiger Clan tribe in Haitang can bring them many benefits. With the coal mine, they can earn food during this dry season.
At any other time, in this kind of weather, where would they find any supplies to hunt? The tribe would starve to death very quickly. But the arrival of Haitang's tiger tribe gave every member of the tribe hope for survival.
It was because of this hope that the Black Bear Clan did not want anything to happen to Haitang's Tiger Clan tribe. They believed that if one suffered, all would suffer; if one prospered, all would prosper. This was something that the Black Bear Clan had thought of.
Haitang didn't refuse when Black Bear's men came to help. Of course, since they said they didn't need money, Haitang didn't pay them and started to entertain them by serving them food.
Every orc who looked at the meat couldn't help but swallow hard before they began to devour it. "How does this Tiger Tribe survive? Our tribe's bravest boys and men are starving, yet this Tiger Tribe has so much fresh meat."
