The little chicks can find food on their own in one place, and sometimes they can be fed by themselves. There are too many pigs, and Xingxing can't raise them all by herself. Haitang actually planned to bring back slaves.
“Father…I want to buy a human race,” Haitang said. Dongfang Long immediately looked up at Haitang, his eyes filled with a hint of grievance.
"Tangtang, have I done something wrong?" Dongfang Long immediately asked. Had he done something wrong? Had he made Tangtang fickle? Had she stopped loving him?
“You did a good job, Xiaolong. That’s why. The livestock at home are getting bigger and bigger. Xingxing won’t be able to feed them all by herself. I’ll have to go and get food for them too. Xingxing is too tired. With the help of the humans, Xingxing can rest.” He said to Shi Hu and Dongfang Long.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hu couldn't help but frown, but still said, "That's fine, I'll get you one next time." He could get a slave, "but for his living quarters, just make a small thatched hut."
"Okay." Haitang nodded. Shi Hu didn't pay much attention to the new humans who were about to arrive. He and Dongfang Long were revolutionary friends, and as for those who woke up, they weren't family, but slaves.
Haitang didn't force any reforms to this idea. Instead, she started helping to raise the pigs, and the wild boars grew bigger and bigger.
In this situation, Haitang hired someone to build her a pigsty, which was about fifty square meters in size. Next to Haitang was a large pigsty with four small compartments inside to raise the piglets.
After Haitang had the house built, she moved the pigs there. Haitang's pigs were very good-looking and loved by many people. They grew so fast just by being given some grass and food, which is why many people were willing to keep them.
The human slave that Haitang mentioned was quickly obtained by Shi Hu. Huo Qiu had one shoveled over from his side. When Huo Qiu heard that Haitang wanted one, he simply brought one over.
"I heard you want slaves. These days, no one in the village goes to the trade fair. What do you think of this little slave?" Huo Qiu said, looking at Haitang.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long, who had just finished eating, picked up his bowl and chopsticks and went outside. He saw a small slave not far away whose clothes barely covered his body, making him look unpleasant.
His emaciated body was practically skin and bones; what could he possibly do? He was ten times stronger than the other man, and seeing that look in his eyes, Dongfang Long felt reassured.
The other person's gaze was empty, devoid of any vitality, lifeless. Tangtang would never like that. Tangtang should quickly refuse. He could handle so many things. Tangtang had enough of him. Dongfang Long was eating nearby, thinking desperately.
Haitang looked at the little man and asked, "What race are you?" At that moment, Huoqiu grabbed the little slave's head and lifted it up. Haitang frowned when she saw this, but didn't say anything too rude.
“He’s from the leopard clan, fourteen years old this year. He failed to transform into a beastman two years ago and was sold by his family’s beastmen. He’s been a slave for several years now, and he’s had enough of being a slave.” He said, looking at Haitang.
Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at the other person, who appeared very thin and small. She then turned to look at Dongfang Long, who was also thirteen or fourteen years old, but was a head taller than her. The little man in front of her, however, was not.
"Alright, thank you... Little Dragon... go and fetch ten rabbits." Hearing this, Dongfang Long huffed and puffed, looking at Haitang with resentment. "Little Dragon..."
"Hmm." Dongfang Long ate his food and went to get the rabbit for Huo Qiu. Huo Qiu didn't refuse. Looking at the plump rabbit, she thought that Haitang had raised it very well.
Haitang took the little slave back, and when Dongfang Long saw him, he was very unhappy. Haitang asked Xiaohe to get Dongfang Long's old clothes, and Dongfang Long reached out and grabbed Haitang's clothes, "Tangtang...don't you want me anymore?"
Hearing this, Haitang turned around and looked at Dongfang Long. His eyes were filled with a pitiful look. Haitang walked over and patted Dongfang Long's cheek. Dongfang Long looked at Haitang and his ears turned red.
"What are you thinking? You're my family, we'll be together for life. He's a worker, he'll be doing chores at home." She was blatantly biased.
The arrival of the Eastern Dragon was perfectly timed; his family was struggling financially, and they went through thick and thin together. The current little people are only kept as pets because they have too much work to do at home. There is a difference between the two.
When Dongfang Long looked at Haitang, he was beaming with joy. "We're a family, we'll be together forever." He smiled sweetly at Haitang.
Haitang nodded. Dongfang Long was grinning like an idiot all day. Haitang gave the little human food and then told it to take a bath. The little human trembled. Dongfang Long immediately volunteered to take the little human to take a bath.
When he took the little girl there, he stood right by the water and said, "Let me tell you, Tangtang is my little female. If you have any bad intentions, I'll secretly beat you up. And don't let Tangtang name you; I'll name you myself. You'll be called Little Slave..."
The little slave didn't say anything, just sat there obediently washing himself. Under these circumstances, Dongfang Long frowned, looking at the obedient child, and directly gave him a name. Haitang looked at Dongfang Long, "Little Deer?"
"Hmm, let's call her Little Deer." Little Deer or whatever, it's his choice, not Tangtang's. Tangtang can only name herself; Tangtang is his little female.
Hearing this, Haitang nodded and looked at Dongfang Long, saying, "Little Long is such a good boy."
"That's right, I'm very well-behaved." He was very obedient and well-behaved, so no other little slaves could try to take the crabapple from him.
