Chapter 53 Sugarcane



"What's wrong with Tangtang?" Dongfang Long asked, looking at Haitang. Why was she suddenly looking at him like that? It was so strange.

"I was just thinking that Xiaolong has suddenly grown taller, even taller than me," Haitang said. Dongfang Long immediately smiled and looked at Haitang, very happy.

"Tangtang has grown taller too." He had grown taller and bigger because he was going to marry a little female. He smiled as he looked at Haitang. His Tangtang had also grown taller and bigger and was also going to find a beastman. They would make a perfect pair.

Haitang went to get some food, I wonder what that silly boy was thinking? After he got the food, Shi Hu agreed and went to get some for Haitang and the others the next day. He dragged several fruits back with him. Haitang started to make syrup and then boil the syrup.

Brown sugar is difficult to make because there are too few ingredients. The only option is to boil the sugar directly, which tastes quite good, so you can keep it for later consumption.

Many people know about the big commotion surrounding the crabapple tree. Some people think the tree should be used to build houses, but others think it's impossible because the tree is too brittle and would break easily.

However, no one asked why. When Haitang was making the syrup, the sweet smell could be smelled for miles around.

When people came to check, Haitang said that she was cooking it for the children. The people looked at the water and asked about the taste. Haitang said it was as sweet as fruit.

In this situation, those people nodded, but didn't think about getting it back. What should they say? Things that can't fill their stomachs aren't worth their time.

On Xiuxiu's side, she prepared a lot of food during these days and came to see Haitang directly. She saw Haitang's candy and Haitang gave her sugarcane. Xiuxiu's eyes lit up after eating it.

"It's delicious, but it's not enough to fill me up. I could manage to drag one back by myself, but it would be such a waste of my whole day. It's not worth it," Xiuxiu said.

“That’s right, you can wait until winter.” Hearing this, Xiuxiu nodded, thinking it was a good idea. After finding a place, she remembered to go in winter to work on it. Haitang didn’t plan to work on sugarcane anymore.

Having this food is enough; what I need more is not sugarcane, but other food, as winter is getting closer.

Haitang had to focus all her efforts on dealing with the situation ahead, so she had to put aside snacks and the like.

After spending two days gathering sugarcane, Haitang went out to find food. On this day, Haitang, Yueyue, and others went to find Chinese yam.

Actually, while Haitang was making candy, Yueyue and Xiaohe went out to find something to eat, so it didn't take too long.

When Xiao Qiu Haitang met the other party, she saw that the other party was carrying a little beastman. The other party was carrying something similar to her mother's, but she didn't seem tired at all. Beastmen are really amazing.

Xiao Qiu's complexion has improved a lot these days. With her son's help, she is much more relaxed, and each time she brings back more and more things, which naturally makes her feel relieved and improves her complexion.

Xiao Qiu had also asked Haitang about sugarcane, and Haitang bluntly replied, "That stuff won't fill you up, but it's good as a snack in other situations." Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiu shook her head and chose not to go looking for it.

The purpose of finding this thing is to fill our stomachs; using it as a snack is out of the question. In the days that followed, both orcs and humans were busy searching for food to relieve their hunger.

Humans never cross over into the area where Haitang and the others live, because Haitang and the others are female beastmen, and the wild beasts have all been driven away by the beastmen.

There are many wild beasts on the human side, making it relatively dangerous, so females don't go there. However... Haitang plans to go there to take a look later, hoping to find some unexpected treasures.

Haitang told Shi Hu that she planned to go find food with Shi Ming. "No, there are many wild beasts over there, it's very dangerous..." Wild beasts would avoid the smell of beastmen, which is why it is so difficult to catch beastmen.

However, encountering other races is easy, and under these circumstances, Shi Hu felt it was not advisable. "Then Father, we can go hunting over there," Haitang suggested. Shi Hu was slightly taken aback, as was Dongfang Long.

“Look, the hunting areas you went to are all orc hunting grounds. There are too many orcs’ scents there, which makes wild animals fewer and fewer. But it’s different on the human side. There are definitely more wild animals there, so you can hunt more prey,” Haitang said. Dongfang Long and Shi Hu exchanged a glance.

“That’s possible, but if you go…” It would still be dangerous for Haitang to go, so Yueyue immediately stood up.

"Father, I can protect my sister." Although they have found a lot of food these days, the problem is that as winter approaches, the little food they have is not enough.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hu looked at Haitang and sighed, "Then be careful, and don't leave us."

"Okay, Father..." Haitang nodded. Haitang had his little sister Xiaohe stay at home and look at the things that had been brought back these past few days. Xiaohe nodded.

Xiaohe is very well-behaved and has brought back quite a lot of food these days, but not as much as Haitang and Yueyue. Xingxing is a well-behaved child, and he wants to go with them.

However, Haitang said that her second sister might be in danger if she was alone at home, and that as a man, she should protect her second sister, while her brother should protect their eldest sister. This was the idea that Haitang initially shared with Xingxing.

The next day, Haitang got up early and set off with Yueyue and Dongfang Long and the others. Shi Ming sighed when he saw this, but he also led his people to the forest on the other side of the human race. There were more wild animals on that side, but with the fence built, it was much safer.

Although humans are small and weak, they are not stupid. Where there are many wild animals, they will build walls. This is the only means of self-protection for humans.

Looking around, all the human races came out. They didn't say much when they saw Haitang and the others, because Shi Hu and Dongfang Long were now human races. It was just strange that a female would come here to look for food.

When Haitang looked around, she followed behind her father. Shi Hu looked at the people around him, making sure that the races did not dare to cause trouble. The races were all without females and dared not go to the beastmen's side to cause trouble, but there were also some races with bad intentions who attacked the females.

Although Shi Hu had lost his beast form, he was a human who had once been a beastman, and his strength was greater than that of other humans. Even with his arm severed, his imposing aura still made many humans retreat. Of course, there were also people who recognized Haitang and respected her.

The wheat was thanks to Haitang's generosity; many people remember this kindness. Now, Haitang is showing her kindness, and Shihu is using his power, making those people even less likely to act recklessly.
