Haitang saw people using deer to pull a magnificent carriage, driven by a small beastman. Wild animals are docile in front of beastmen, and even a small beastman can intimidate these herbivores.
Haitang's lips twitched as she looked at it. However, the deer was obviously not as powerful as the horse. Of course... even if it wasn't as powerful, it was still faster and could run longer than the female. Under such circumstances, the female sitting in the carriage was also happy.
Haitang didn't pay much attention to these actions, because it wasn't just the deer that were being pulled; pigs were also being driven over. Of course, after these animals quickly lost weight, the people realized that they were indeed not as useful as horses.
"Sister... let's go a bit further away today. No females have been there before. Maybe we'll find something good." Yueyue said as she looked at Haitang. There were some cakes on the carriage, and Haitang nodded as she picked one up to eat.
"Okay." Little Ha was curled up asleep in the carriage, covered with a small blanket, sleeping soundly, and Haitang didn't wake him.
After the carriage stopped, Haitang and the others went up the mountain to find food. It wasn't spring yet, so there were very few plants to grow, although some things were starting to sprout.
As always, Haitang dug up some food, and of course... in this situation, she would also look into the small hole to see if there were any hibernating creatures inside.
Haitang and the others had a good haul today. On their round trip, Haitang's family had acquired quite a bit of food. On their way back, they ran into Xiuxiu, whose belly was three or four months along and looked a bit swollen. However, her face was chubby, indicating that she had been eating well during the winter.
Although Haitang and Xiuxiu lived next door, they only saw each other a few times during the winter because it was too cold to go out. When Xiuxiu looked at Haitang's car, she said, "This thing of yours is really useful."
It's a pity we don't have one at home, so I can only look on with envy. I'll ask my husband to get one of these animals in a few days, and then I can enjoy it too.
When Haitang heard this, she said, "This is called a foal. It has good endurance and strength. With its help, it will be easier to do the work in the future."
Haitang is right. With the foal, she can walk several hours less each day. Normally, she would get blisters from walking, but now that she has it, it's much better.
Moreover, with enough strength, one can find things more easily. Xiuxiu nodded, took the little beastman by the hand, and went to find food, while Haitang and the others went back.
Having found most of what they needed, they naturally went back to prepare food. While Haitang was preparing the food, Shi Hu and the others returned a while later.
"Did something happen to Father?" Haitang asked Shi Hu with a puzzled look.
"News from the tribe says that there has been a drought in other places. It started last year and has lasted for two years. As a result, many orcs are choosing to migrate and head towards our side." Originally, the closer you get to the interior, the richer the land becomes.
The problem is that after the drought, many areas in the middle became arid, and many tribes planned to move to the rear. However, many places in the rear were occupied by others, and the closer the orcs were to the interior, the stronger they became.
The further out they go, the weaker they become. This is the case with the Tiger Clan right now. "The people in the tribe are telling us to be careful. Although this area of the Tiger Clan isn't very rich, we are too few in number, and with not many beastmen, those people will easily set their sights on our territory." If they fight elsewhere, they might be wiped out.
However, since Haitang and the others have fewer beastmen from the Tiger Clan, they can still defeat them. Under such circumstances, seizing this place to recuperate is the best option, and they can then seek out an even better location later.
Upon hearing this, Haitang's expression changed. "Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario. We're not pushovers either," Shi Hu said. "We're telling you this because we know you have something to consider. If anything unexpected happens, don't act recklessly."
"Okay, I understand." Haitang nodded. In this situation, Haitang understood what needed to be done and how to do it.
Shi Hu and his men still began hunting, but everyone in the village looked rather tense, and more of the tribe members were now on the city walls, essentially hired by the tribe.
Some of the humans were old orcs. Although they could no longer transform into beastmen, their inherent ruthlessness remained. Under these circumstances, they were more reliable than ordinary human races, so most of those who went up were these old people.
Although Haitang was worried about this matter, she didn't pay too much attention to it because she, as a female, couldn't interfere.
Of course, the snake tribe did come to trade, but the tiger tribe refused, and they were about to become enemies. Letting them in would be foolish.
Although there are no eternal enemies, the snake tribes that came all complained that those snakes were a different kind from them.
But the Tiger Tribe didn't care; they were all snakes. The Snake Tribe members left, and no one was allowed to come near. The Tiger Tribe members, led by Huo Qiu, began searching for the iron ore that Hai Tang had mentioned, while also focusing on defense.
They dug traps, not far from the city wall. If anyone stepped on one, they would fall in immediately. There were bamboo trees below, so it would be a fatal blow.
Of course, everyone in the tribe was warned not to go near those places, and the guards knew where the traps were so they wouldn't fall into them. Huo Qiu had seen the foals and thought they were good, plus the cart was also quite nice.
They had an idea and planned to find some people to catch some from the grasslands. Good things should be kept, and with these foals, it would be easier for the females to find food.
