The orc not far away paused slightly, looking at the other orcs nearby. "What Haitang said makes sense. These girls are too young. You bunch of greenhorns, after messing with them for three days, you should find someone to collect their corpses. If you don't care and plan to marry them after you die, then that's fine." An orc walked over from a distance and said.
It was Huo Qiu's father. Everyone around was slightly taken aback when they heard this. The witch doctor also arrived. "Stand down, I'll take a look at these females. I'll tell you whether they are women or not. Don't mistreat those that aren't women. If they are women, you can take them back."
"Oh." Several orcs nodded, and the witch doctor began to ask questions. The youngest of them hadn't bled at all; they were still just little babies.
Finally, Huo Qiu and the others made some arrangements: to raise them until they bleed. "Do you want these people? If you do, feed them and raise them. If you don't, I'll find a reason to raise them. Feed them and raise them until they bleed."
Xiaohe stood not far away, clutching her sister's clothes. She was a little scared because there was a girl there who was almost as tall as her. For a moment, Xiaohe thought of herself.
The tribe finally decided that the young female would be raised for a period of time, and whoever raised her would be hers; of course, if no one raised her, she wouldn't be hers. Under these circumstances, two orcs chose to give up.
"Then I'd better not take it. It's so small... Going to pick it would only be a burden to my mother, and she'd be eating it for free. I'd rather go and exchange it myself." Two of the beastmen gave up.
Of course, some orcs were willing to keep them, and as for the rest, some orcs were unwilling to have females from the snake tribe, leaving five remaining.
So they went to find people from the other race. A few young people from that race came. When they heard that there were two people to be raised, they frowned, but gritted their teeth and agreed.
Their race doesn't have many females, even one is enough. "Since that's the case, take them back. Those few that haven't bled yet, don't move them when you get back. If you move them, I'll beat you up."
The witch doctor spoke, looking at the young children. Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one dared to act recklessly. In this era, very few people knew how to outwardly comply while inwardly defying orders.
Haitang watched the female being led away without saying much. The witch doctor glanced at Haitang, snorted, and left. She had been treating the tribe's people these days.
However, she would handle minor injuries, while Haitang would handle major ones. Although she did not admit that Haitang was more capable than her, she had to compromise. In certain situations, the little girl in front of her was more capable than her.
The snake-woman who was brought back was quite obedient. In this era, when tribes abducted other people's females, they did pretty much the same thing, so she didn't put up much resistance at the moment.
Haitang felt a little panicked about these things. If the tribe wasn't strong enough, the final outcome would be that it would be robbed by others, and then... Haitang looked at Xiaohe and herself.
If I and Xiaohe were taken away, we would have virtually no human rights. Even if we did have human rights, it would be because we had the baby; otherwise, we would be at the mercy of the beastmen's beatings and abuse.
Based on what those people just said, what does it mean to want the other person dead? They don't value the female they snatched back at all. Although Haitang herself said it, the two meanings are different.
Haitang sat in the room. Only when the tribe is strong can it protect itself. If the tribe is weak, it will be devoured by others and become food and wealth in their hands.
"What are you thinking about, sister?" Xiaohe asked Haitang. Haitang looked at Xiaohe, who was a little pale. "Sister, if we were taken away, would we end up like today, being taken by someone else?"
"No, it won't happen." Haitang reached out and grabbed Xiaohe's hand. "Sister won't let this happen. Don't think too much. Trust your sister." Haitang said.
Xiaohe nodded when she heard this. Xiaohe had a nightmare that night. She dreamed that she was being robbed by several people. She felt helpless and in pain in this situation, and it scared her so much that she fell ill.
When Haitang saw that Xiaohe was sick, she was very worried. She didn't go out all day to give the child medicine and take care of her. Ping'an was sitting not far away, blowing bubbles. Haitang shook her head and teased her a little before giving Xiaohe her medicine.
Shi Hu knew that Xiao He was sick and came to see her. He learned that it was because of what happened yesterday and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't think too much about it. Our Tiger Clan will not let these things happen."
“Yes, I believe it…” Haitang nodded. “Xiaohe is overthinking it.” Haitang said, and Shihu sat down and looked at Haitang.
"Trust your father. He is now a beastman, and every beastman in the tribe is well-fed. The children are getting stronger and stronger, and the possibility of them transforming into beastmen will be even higher. Under such circumstances, no one will dare to bully the Tiger Tribe, so don't think too much." Shi Hu said as he looked at Haitang.
Haitang nodded and leaned directly into Shi Hu's arms. "Yes, I believe in Father." Haitang was also startled. The way those people fought over the females yesterday, and the fear of those females, were reflected in her mind.
She didn't blame the tribe for taking things so for granted; instead, she feared that such a fate might one day befall her. Fear spread through her chest, making her feel suppressed.
But when she saw Shi Hu and was held by him, Haitang breathed a sigh of relief. She realized that instead of thinking too much, she should think of ways to strengthen the construction of the tribe.
The city walls are there, and the tribe is also raising wolf cubs. Although there are only six, the wolf cubs will become pregnant next year and give birth to more wolf cubs, forming a guard team to increase the tribe's defense.
With the orcs and little orcs well-fed, the chances of them transforming into beastmen increased. Haitang quickly stood up and said, "Father... let's refine this stuff."
