The exchange rate was drawn up by Ling Yun at the beginning, and was slightly adjusted during the exchange process based on the material and quality. Even with Teng Ning's help, he still had to work until dark before going home.
Lin Qiu's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet, so it can be predicted that she is carrying a female.
Ling Yun and Song Mu naturally treated it with utmost care. No matter the pregnancy period or the difficulty of delivery, giving birth to a little female was a difficult thing. Even Ling Yun rarely went out to take care of the affairs of the tribe.
"Xiao Qiu, I exchanged some honey from the bear tribe just now. I brought some back for you."
Ling Yun handed the honey he brought back to Lin Qiu and asked her to taste it.
Ever since they discovered Lin Qiu was pregnant, her appetite had been poor. Ling Yun and Song Mu tried every possible means to find all kinds of fresh food for her, but she still visibly lost weight. After the weather warmed up, Ling Yun and Song Mu took Lin Qiu out for a walk every day, and only then did she start eating a little more.
Lin Qiu dipped a little honey into his mouth with a wooden spoon and said, "It's sweet."
"The Bear Tribe brought quite a lot this time. I exchanged the other tribes' items for four parts food and six parts silk flakes. However, the honey the Bear Tribe brought is also food, and it's really scarce for us, so I specifically used sixty percent of the food to exchange."
Fortunately, although the bear tribe is strong and tall, they are different from the tiger tribe. In addition to meat, they also eat some fruits. Ling Yun let them try roasted potatoes. The beastmen of the bear tribe were all confused by the fragrance. They originally said that they would exchange 80% of it for food, but after tasting the roasted potatoes, they agreed to Ling Yun's 40%: 60% distribution.
Lin Qiu took only one bite and put it back: "It's a bit choking to eat like this, you can keep it and mix it with water."
"Okay," Ling Yun handed the remaining honey to Song Mu and asked him to put it away. "Let me touch the cub in your belly to see if it's well behaved."
Lin Qiu hugged Ling Yun and leaned against him: "I don't feel anything in my stomach."
Song Mu placed the honey on a higher shelf in the bedroom to prevent the unruly kids at home from stealing it when they were out and not paying attention.
"Xiao Qiu ate quite a lot today. Since you didn't come back, I didn't take her out."
"I've been really busy lately. I've already told Teng Ning about tomorrow's affairs. I'll stay home with you." Ling Yun leaned over and pressed his face against Lin Qiu's lower abdomen.
"Now that the weather is warmer, there's more to do in the tribe, so it's okay if you're busy."
"I'll arrange it."
There are only two males in the family. It would be inconvenient if something happened. Even though the tribal affairs are important, Ling Yun does not want to be absent.
"We've already eaten. Go find something to eat in the kitchen." Song Mu fetched some water for Lin Qiu to wash his feet. It was almost time to go to bed.
Ling Yun had been taking care of Lin Qiu at home. The next evening, Teng Ning came to report, "Chief, the items for each tribe have been distributed and recorded. Pu Su has also put the exchanged items into the warehouse."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Once they learn how to grow corn, let them leave as soon as possible."
With so many outsiders in the tribe, Ling Yun was a little worried about Lin Qiu's safety.
"good."
By the next day, several tribes that had learned to grow corn had left, but more tribes remained with the Tiger Tribe. After all, the Tiger Tribe not only provided food, but also many fresh foods.
"This tiger tribe is amazing! Last summer was like that, but they still have food and can even exchange so many things with us."
"Yes, but it was thanks to them that they came to inform us and taught us how to dig a well that we didn't die of thirst. Although we didn't have enough food, we still survived."
"Yes, thanks to them."
Everyone was discussing the good deeds of the Tiger Clan, their hearts filled with gratitude.
But the Baichuan wolf tribe on the side had other thoughts in their minds.
As night fell, everyone returned to the dormitory prepared for them by the Tiger Tribe to rest. They would set off tomorrow, and everyone wanted to get a good night's sleep tonight to replenish their energy for the journey.
The Baichuan Wolf Clan all got up: "The Tiger Tribe is even richer than we imagined. It seems our trip was not in vain."
"Today, I've contacted the rest of our tribe under the pretext of going out hunting. Tomorrow, we'll work together internally and externally to defeat their tribe in one fell swoop and force them to hand over their weaving methods and everything they've stored!"
There was greed and cunning in their eyes because they were very excited about what they were going to do tomorrow.
The next morning, the tribes were about to depart. Teng Ning saw them off, feeling relieved. He felt uneasy about so many people in the tribe. He hadn't slept well for so long, and the security within the tribe had been stepped up several levels.
Teng Ning was just about to go home for breakfast. Before he had time to sit down and rest at home, he heard the warning roar of a tiger from the orcs on duty at the entrance of the tribe.
"Something happened?"
All the males in the tribe became nervous, as this was a signal that someone was attacking the tribe.
Ling Yun and Song Mu exchanged a glance, and Song Mu said, "You can go out. I will take good care of Xiao Qiu."
"Be careful." Lin Qiu didn't understand the tiger tribe's animal language, but he guessed from the expressions of the two people that the situation seemed very urgent.
Ling Yun kissed Lin Qiu's forehead: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'm leaving."
After Ling Yun left, Song Mu took the five cubs into a room and forbade them to run around.
When Ling Yun arrived at the entrance of the tribe, he saw that the orcs who should have left in the morning were now gathered at the entrance of the tribe.
"What's going on?"
"Chief Ling Yun, there's a group of wolf orcs out there trying to surround your tribe! They're armed and there are quite a few of them, so you must be careful!"
The horse orcs walked faster and were the first to discover the wolf tribe. They then quickly turned back to report the news and asked other tribes on the road to quickly return to the tiger tribe. Only then did all the orcs return safely, without any injuries for the time being, and none of the exchanged items were lost.
"Chief, I've sent people to look for those wolf orcs in the tribe. When we found them, they had already hidden themselves," Teng Ning said, feeling terrified. "It's all my fault. I thought everyone in the tribe had left, but those wolf orcs took advantage of the situation and stayed in the tribe. I..."
Ling Yun nodded, signaling Teng Ning not to say anything more.
Almost all the male tigers gathered at the entrance of the tribe, waiting for Ling Yun's arrangements.
"Qiu Xiao, take two people and bring the things from the base."
Because there were many outsiders in the tribe, he asked all the people who were developing gunpowder to stop these days, leaving only one person to guard nearby. If orcs from other tribes approached, he would ask them to stay away.
So these people have never heard of the power of gunpowder.
"Teng Ning, find a few people to check on the fox tribe's situation and tell them to be careful and not get affected."
