Qiao An was held in his mother's arms and hummed softly.
Lin Qiu bent down and kissed Qiao An's ear.
Qiao An is the cub that clings to her the most. He is not as active as the other cubs and is not a naughty child.
Ling Yun came in with a large bowl of medicine: "You guys, stop pretending to be pitiful. Just now on the ice, you all ran faster than anyone else."
Ling Yun took Qiao An from Lin Qiu's arms and said, "You are in the worst condition, so you drink first."
Qiao An was pressed by Ling Yun against the edge of the bowl. He could smell the bitterness of the medicinal soup just by sniffing it. He retreated repeatedly but was held down by Ling Yun. He flapped his four paws around for a long time but couldn't move.
"So they can just lick it and drink it?"
The little tiger cub can only lick a little bit of water at a time. It's such a big bowl, wouldn't it be bitter?
"I have to make them suffer a little, so they won't dare to do it again next time. They haven't even grown all their fur yet, and they dare to run around in the cold season. If I don't make them suffer this time, what if I don't find them in time next time?"
Qiao An licked the medicine soup, and the little tiger's face became wrinkled.
Lin Qiu felt that Ling Yun was right. This was not a joke. They were still too young. If they really played until they were exhausted, they would be frozen outside in a short time. This time they deserved a good lesson.
Seeing Qiao An like this, the boys wanted to run away, but their fathers grabbed them one by one and lined them up.
Yang Zhu sneezed in fright.
The three of them watched the kids finish drinking the medicine. Lin Qiu held Honghong in his arms one by one, and then asked Song Mu to take them to the next room to sleep.
Because of the severe drought last year, they stored a lot of dry firewood, and both kangs were kept warm. The new house they built for the cubs has not been put into use yet, and the five cubs have been sleeping next to them.
Song Mu also threw a tiger hide on the five of them. The thick and heavy hide made the cubs feel particularly safe. They were also very tired after making a lot of noise all day. They smacked their bitter lips, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Lin Qiu said to Ling Yun, "Next time, don't let them go to other people easily. If they are lost, what if you can't find them next time?"
"I know."
Ling Yun didn't want Lin Qiu to think that he and Song Mu failed to fulfill their fatherly responsibilities. As males, they could take good care of both the females and the cubs.
Lin Qiu patted the tiger's head and said, "Now that the cubs are getting older, they are getting harder to manage. Thank you both for your hard work. I will help you."
"We can do it well, Xiaoqiu doesn't need to worry about this." Song Mu said.
Ling Yun also said, "It's actually easier to take care of them during the cold season. As long as they stay at home, they'll be fine. By next year, they'll be able to maintain their human form for a long time, and it will be much easier to find them then."
The tiger cub is in this state now, and I don’t know where to take it.
Lin Qiu leaned in Song Mu's arms: "I haven't had a good rest these days. I'll lie down for a while."
"Okay, Xiaoqiu, I'll stay with you." Seeing Lin Qiu lying down, Song Mu immediately moved next to her.
Ling Yun pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to discuss making gunpowder with Teng Ning. I might be back late. Song Mu, remember to cook."
"Yes." Song Mu agreed.
Ling Yun took the ingredients and proportions written by Lin Qiu and called Teng Ning to go to Pu Su together.
"One saltpeter, two sulfur, and three charcoal? I know about charcoal and sulfur, but what is this saltpeter?" When Pu Su heard Ling Yun talk about these raw materials, he and several older and more experienced orcs in the tribe looked at each other in confusion.
