Qingchen noticed her actions and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Shen Miao still thought she must have misheard. "Did I hear that right? You spoke to me so politely?"
“Yes,” Qingchen’s expression returned to its usual calm and aloofness, “That’s true. You’ve taken good care of the kids, and my legs are also thanks to you that I was able to stand up.”
Shen Miao muttered, "You weren't like this when you were scolding me. You said I took the kids on an adventure and didn't take good care of them. I wonder what kind of evil intentions you were hiding."
A smile flickered in Qingchen's eyes. "I misunderstood you. You've been training the children to be better. You're a qualified mother."
The approval from the main villain made Shen Miao very happy.
Her tail wagged immediately. "Right? I think I'm pretty good too. You don't need to tell me that."
Qingchen covered his lips with his hand and coughed lightly, his tone suddenly becoming stern, "However, sometimes you handle things too impulsively."
"What?" Shen Miao asked subconsciously, not understanding why she was praising her at first, but suddenly started criticizing her.
Qingchen analyzed with her, from Shen Miao's suggestion to let the wandering beastmen stay, to the wandering beastmen going mad, to her bet with the tribe beastmen, and then to the attack by the beastmen a few days ago. He told her everything in detail, big and small.
In short, it all boils down to one thing: the beastmen have strong likes and dislikes, and it was Shen Miao's initial failure to handle the situation with the wandering beastmen that led to the series of consequences that followed.
Of course, it was absolutely wrong for the orcs to hit her, but the tribe is a whole, and the orcs have already apologized. If Shen Miao refuses to forgive them, it would be tantamount to tearing her own family apart.
The current situation is that there is no absolute peace between tribes, and attacks and harassment occur from time to time.
If you want to live a comfortable life, you still need to work together with the other orcs in the tribe.
Shen Miao listened in silence.
She understood all these principles, but what surprised her was that Qingchen saw things so clearly. Wasn't he a beastman?
With Qingchen's patient explanation, Shen Miao gradually came to understand and her mood was no longer so depressed. However, she still couldn't help but say proudly, "I didn't realize, Qingchen, that you are such a master of inspirational quotes."
"?"
Qingchen looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding Shen Miao's meaning.
Seeing his slightly dazed look, Shen Miao pounded the bed and burst into laughter.
...
Ever since the family started selling blood tofu, the cat-beastman has never had to worry about food again.
He was also diligent, and almost every day he would take the blood tofu he had made to sell at the beast field, where there were beastmen from various tribes and information could be spread far and wide.
By chance, the cat-beastman overheard a piece of news: the beast lord of Rhinoceros Mountain was about to lead a group to rob people.
Everyone knows that Rhinoceros Mountain is even poorer than their area. The orcs there often go hungry, so the orcs they raise are extremely fierce and fond of plundering.
Once they set their sights on you, the consequences will be dire.
The cat-beastman made a special inquiry and learned that the other party's target this time was their tribe. The cat-beastman was shocked and immediately stopped selling the blood tofu and rushed back to the tribe.
The news was relayed to the clan chief, who was old and had gradually stopped interfering in affairs. Upon hearing the news, the chief was so frightened that he almost fainted.
The cat-beastmen realized this wouldn't do; if even their chieftain was this afraid, what would they do when the enemy came?
"This chieftain really should step down," the cat-beastman thought to himself. He could only go door-to-door to inform the beastmen to temporarily hide and avoid the limelight of the Rhinoceros Mountain tribe.
When the beastmen heard that the beastmen from the Rhinoceros Mountain tribe were coming to attack them, they were all startled and didn't know what to do, so they all came out of their homes.
They could hide away first, but that would mean their belongings would be destroyed.
Everyone knows that the people of the Xishan tribe are just like savages, and they love to plunder.
The clan chief was also undecided. After discussion, everyone decided to go out and take the food they could carry with them, and leave the food they couldn't carry behind.
After all, life is the most important thing.
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao felt it wouldn't work. Qing Chen asked her why, and Shen Miao pointed out: "If we avoid them this time, the beastmen of the Rhinoceros Mountain tribe will label us as easy to bully. In the future, whenever they lack food or clothing, won't they come over to plunder us? Wouldn't all the things we worked so hard for be wasted on them?"
The surrounding orcs, without realizing it, also listened.
They agreed with Shen Miao, but they had no way to resist, because the people of the Xishan tribe were well-prepared and definitely had super strong fighting power. Without a doubt, they couldn't defeat them.
The cat-beastman spoke first: "Chen Miao, you can speak your mind. The entire tribe is now one."
Qingchen encouraged her to continue.
Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, "First, I support avoiding them..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone sneered, "You were all so nice just now, but you still want to avoid us. What's the difference between what you said and what we said?"
Shen Miao ignored the man and continued, "Avoiding doesn't mean ignoring everything, it just means hiding in the shadows. Secondly, after letting the people of Xishan Tribe in, they encountered no resistance. The next step will definitely be to plunder the tribe. Everyone should put everything into the house, and then we will set up traps outside."
"What kind of trap?" the orcs asked in unison.
Shen Miao smiled slightly: "That's too much."
After Shen Miao's detailed explanation, everyone understood and realized that what Shen Miao said made sense, so they all went home and did as she said.
Shen Miao went to each household to provide guidance, telling them how to set traps and how to create simple mechanisms. The beastmen were skeptical; would this really be effective? They had never heard of such a thing.
Shen Miaobing did not explain. On the day the Xishan tribe arrived, a sentry came to report early in the morning. The tribe's beastmen scattered and ran to the pre-arranged place to hide.
From here, you can see what's happening in the tribe.
They saw the orcs of the Rhinoceros Mountain tribe arrive with their weapons, swaggering and plundering, and enter the tribe without any resistance.
The leader must be their beast lord. He initially ordered the beastmen to be on guard, but after confirming that no one was in the tribe, he burst into laughter.
So their Rhinoceros Mountain tribe's reputation has spread this far and wide. That's even better; he can get things without any cost. He likes that.
This tribe appears to be quite wealthy, with neat and tidy houses, suggesting that the houses are likely to be very well-stocked.
"Grab it!" At the beast lord's command, his orcs swarmed into every household like locusts entering a land.
But a moment later, screams of agony rang out.
