Lin Qiu looked very loving. It was somewhat special for a female to care so much about her cubs.
"They'll chew this litter up in a month. Don't bother with all this effort." Song Mu didn't want Lin Qiu's efforts to go to waste. Those cubs didn't know how to cherish. "If you can't sew one for me, I'll definitely stay in bed."
Lin Qiu's mind flashed with the image of the cat Sugmu curled up on a huge cushion, sleeping with its tail as a pillow. He couldn't help but smile. "I need to sew a cushion for you to lie on. That might take a long time."
"I'm just saying that you shouldn't work too hard for these cubs. You're already doing them a great favor by giving birth to them." Song Mu's hands regained their warmth and he rubbed Lin Qiu's wrists.
"That's not an exaggeration! It's not hard at all. I'm very happy. I'll also make them little clothes and blankets."
Lin Qiule enjoyed it, it was much more interesting than writing textbooks.
"Okay, okay, the weather is nice today. I'll lift the animal skin curtain a little to let some light in. If you're cold, you can put it down later."
The animal skin curtain was covered with seven or eight layers during the cold season, but now there are only two layers left, the inner and outer layers. When the weather gets warmer, the inner layer will be removed as well.
"OK."
As Lin Qiu spoke, she pulled the animal skin next to her and covered her belly. Song Mu rubbed her head and praised her, "You're so good."
Lin Qiu looked at Song Mu helplessly.
"I still have a lot of things to wash, so I'm going to go out first. I need to finish washing them early so I can do them in the evening."
Song Mu stroked Lin Qiu's hair and went out to work with a pile of animal skins.
Ling Yun was busy arranging things to teach everyone writing and arithmetic in the big cave. He thought that the adult males in the tribe were a bit busy now, so he planned to catch some cubs to learn first, and then go home to teach their father after they finished learning.
As for females, if they want to learn, they can learn, and if they find it hard, forget it.
The cubs in the tribe all knew that Ling Yun was the strongest orc in the tribe, and he was now the patriarch, so they were in awe of his authority. Even if they didn't want to learn and wanted to step on the snow and water, they didn't dare to show it. The little tigers sat upright on the ground and listened to Ling Yun teach them.
Ling Yun didn't really want to take care of the cubs at first, but when he looked at the cubs of different ages below, he thought of Lin Qiu's cub in her belly, which would also grow up little by little, and his heart softened.
His and Lin Qiu's cubs must be smarter and stronger than these little ones.
"Chief, I have already dealt with the matter of the rabbit orcs."
In the evening, Teng Ning came to report the progress of the matter to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun asked: "Have they left? Which direction did they go?"
"I told them to go south. The road ahead of our tribe was crossed by a beast tide, so there are fewer dangerous beasts there, making it a suitable place for them to settle down. Don't worry, I told their chief to let them go as far as possible."
Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Once our tribe's defenses are built, we won't have to worry about them living nearby."
The rabbit tribe posed no threat to them, but Ling Yun just had a physical aversion to them.
"I hope they can settle down well. After the beast tide, it's a good thing for them, the herbivorous beastmen. There's no danger anymore, and they only need to worry about food."
It is much easier for herbivorous orcs to obtain food than for them.
"Forget about them. Teng Ning, I'll need you for other things in the future. You've worked hard, so go back and rest first."
Ling Yun still admired Teng Ning's ability and efficiency. Moreover, Teng Ning's greatest advantage was that he was down-to-earth and hardworking, had no temper, and was a person who could follow instructions. Ling Yun could safely hand over some things to him.
As the snow gradually melts, some trees have begun to sprout new buds.
The females who had been stuck at home for the entire cold season also dressed warmly and went out to breathe some fresh air.
We hadn't seen each other for several months, and everyone was very excited and happy to see old friends again.
Compared with the previous cold season, this one is so comfortable. I can eat and drink whatever I want, and the room is warm. I don’t have to worry about starving or freezing to death.
After staying in their nest for a whole winter, they all gained some weight.
"Lin Qiu, I've wanted to see you for a long time. Let me see you."
Dongxue came to visit Lin Qiu and stared at her bulging belly: "When I was at your age, my belly was about the same as yours. I should have had three or five children."
Lin Qiu was also very happy to see Dongxue: "Why didn't you bring your son over to play? I want to see the tiger cub."
"What's so good about it? Isn't it the same as their father? It's not like they gave birth to a female." Dongxue didn't care. Now it was Tan Yuan who was the nanny. The male who came with her today was Qiu Xiao.
Lin Qiu didn't say anything about Dongxue's attitude, but avoided the topic: "I don't dare to go out now. I'm afraid it will be too cold and I'll get a stomachache."
"You'd better be careful! I was frightened by the beast tide. It hurt so much, I was so angry that I ignored Tan Yuan for several days. You don't know how scared I was at that time. What if I lost my life because of this litter of cubs?!"
Dongxue still looks frightened when she talks about it now. She told Lin Qiu to be careful and give birth to the baby safely.
"I only heard about it later. I was really worried about you at the time."
The two held hands and talked. After holding it in for a whole winter, Dongxue and Lin Qiu had so much to say that it was almost endless.
"Dongxue, Songmu has to go out for something, let's go too."
Qiu Xiao called Dongxue outside the window to come home.
