"Ling Yun, what's wrong with you now? The cubs of our tribe can't drink the milk of the oxen, so don't be so optimistic! And you guys, aren't you afraid of catching a fever and dying in such heavy rain?!"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that the usually amiable person could be so scary when angry.
"Chief, Ren Ge's cub has been drinking it for several days and there's nothing wrong with it. I also caught one yesterday and brought it back for my cub to drink. The female we caught first is producing less and less milk now. The cow still produces more milk. Ling Yun said that as long as we don't feed it too much, it's fine. My cub is really fine."
Someone stood up and wanted to mediate, so he explained his family situation in detail, hoping that Wu Chuan would calm down after hearing that he had misunderstood Ling Yun.
But Wu Chuan's anger did not diminish. She continued to look at Ling Yun and said, "If something happens to the cubs in the tribe because they drank the milk, can you bear the responsibility?"
Ling Yun looked at Wu Chuan: "It turns out that the cubs in our tribe can drink milk."
"You are trying to take the lives of the cubs in the tribe!"
"I was sure it was possible, so I went with Ren Ge to catch the ox."
Because it was Lin Qiu who said it was okay, Ling Yun believed it unconditionally.
In fact, ever since Lin Qiu returned to the Tiger Tribe, Ling Yun and Song Mu had sensed her changes. She seemed to know a lot of things, and from the current perspective, everything she said was beneficial to the tribe. Lin Qiu said that the cubs could drink milk, and so they could drink it.
The two men were confronting each other, as if they were about to duel at the next moment.
"Okay, Wu Chuan. They are also doing this for the tribe. They are already soaked, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and the males can't stand it. Let everyone go back. The tribe is fine, and the cubs are fine too." Teng Ning grabbed Wu Chuan, looked at Ling Yun again, and told him not to continue to confront Wu Chuan head-on.
From Wu Chuan's attitude, Ling Yun became more and more convinced of Lin Qiu's words.
Wu Chuan was wary of him and thought he was a threat to his position as clan leader.
Therefore, Wu Chuan would not allow him to lead everyone to do anything. The better he did, the more everyone would support him.
Wu Chuan is gradually leaving his prime, and his wisdom is not enough to support him to continue leading the tribe, so once he loses his ability to fight, the tribe may want to replace the chief.
Ling Yun said: "Chief, I am only concerned about the tribe."
Wu Chuan clenched his fists.
"Ren Ge, let's go." Ling Yun gave Wu Chuan a meaningful look. He wanted to tell Wu Chuan that he had seen through his thoughts.
Ren Ge caught up with Ling Yun, the heavy rain muffled his voice. "Ling Yun, how could you be so disrespectful to the tribe leader? It's normal for him to be angry since so many of us are leaving the tribe together."
Ling Yun said, "What's normal about this? Normally, wouldn't we leave the tribe during the day and go hunting?"
Ren Ge was suddenly confused. "That seems to be the case! We leave the tribe every day, but we always go hunting alone or in groups of two or three, so we don't feel like too many people have left the tribe. But this time, more than 30 of us are going out together, so it feels like a lot of people are leaving at once!"
"So, did you feel anything?"
Ling Yun looked at Ren Ge. It was obvious that Wu Chuan was looking for trouble. She disliked him and was trying every way to make things difficult for him.
Ren Ge shook his head in confusion.
Ling Yun took a deep breath and patted Ren Ge's shoulder: "Forget it, it's nothing. You should go back and rest early. You have been too tired these past few days. Don't worry about the clan leader. Even if he looks for me, he will come to me."
Ren Ge still has to take care of the cubs every day, so he didn't think much about Ling Yun's words. He said goodbye to Ling Yun and went home.
When Ling Yun returned home, Song Mu had already prepared hot water for him.
"Xiaoqiu, the fences have been completed today." Ling Yun reported.
Lin Qiu said, "That's great. The weather is getting colder, so don't go out during this rainy season. Even though the rainy season isn't as cold as the cold season, it's still easier to catch a fever if you get drenched in such cold rain."
The males have fur to protect them from the cold winter.
But if the fur gets wet in the rain, it loses its insulating effect.
"Okay, then we won't go out anymore. From now on, I'll stay at home and won't leave Xiaoqiu for a moment!"
Ling Yun wiped himself clean and rubbed over happily.
He had been looking forward to the winter season for a long time. He would not go anywhere and would stay with Xiaoqiu all day long. He would have enough food to eat and would not have to worry about the cold. This was simply a dream come true.
Song Mu brought out the cooked meat and said, "Don't you think you talk too much? If you keep talking in front of Xiao Qiu, she'll be annoyed to death."
"Xiao Qiu loves listening to me talk. If I don't miss you, I can't make her happy at all. If I weren't a good brother, a male like you would not be favored in any female family."
Ling Yun's words made Song Mu sneer.
"I like both of you. I like listening to Ling Yun talk, and it's also good for Song Mu to be quiet. So stop arguing and eat something quickly."
These days, Lin Qiu asked Song Mu to add chili peppers to the meat, so that after Ling Yun went out in the rain, he could come back and eat something spicy to sweat and feel more comfortable.
Ling Yun sat on the kang and told Lin Qiu about Wu Chuan who stopped them at the tribe gate and gave them a lecture. "You guessed right last time. Wu Chuan's hostility towards me is becoming more and more obvious. It doesn't matter what he does to me. If he dares to make a move on you, I don't mind replacing the tribe leader in a duel."
Orcs are different from wild beasts. Wild beasts that live in groups choose their leaders through duels, but they are civilized and pay more attention to morality and wisdom. They rarely use the most primitive way to replace their patriarchs.
The replacement of the patriarch begins with the death or abdication of the old patriarch, and then everyone elects a new one together.
However, the one-on-one duel system still exists, and if the challenger defeats the current patriarch, he will succeed.
But at the same time, this precedent also means that everyone is informed: everyone in the tribe can challenge him in a duel at any time.
He will face countless challenges.
Ling Yun is in his prime now, so he is naturally not afraid, but if he gets injured or gets older, won’t he become a sitting duck?
Lin Qiu said, "Let me think about it. Even if we really need to change, we shouldn't do it this way. Don't rush it. Let's at least get through this winter season."
No one goes out in the cold season, so everything is naturally peaceful. Even if Wu Chuan wants to cause trouble, he will have to wait until the temperature rises next year.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"Let's discuss the deployment of defenses now to prevent another beast tide this winter."
