Chapter 35 Division of Labor and Cooperation
And so the matter was settled. Wolf Cang left three adult male orcs in the tribe to guard it, and left with the rest of the tribesmen and cubs, amidst their expectant gazes.
Wolf Cloud watched the departing hunting team with great envy. One day, when he was old enough to go hunting, he would join the hunting team too!
Lin Baiyan thought he was reluctant to part with Lang Cang, so she stepped forward, ruffled his hair, and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, they will definitely come back safely."
Little Wolf Cloud, with a cool and serious expression, looked at him earnestly: "I'm not worried. Being able to go out hunting is something every male beastman looks forward to."
This shows that they have grown into male orc warriors capable of withstanding danger.
"One day I will grow up to be like Brother Lang Cang, no, I will be even more powerful than him!" Lang Yun clenched his fist.
The little wolf cloud harbors a big dream.
The wolf cubs beside him, just like Wolf Cloud, gritted their little teeth and howled a few times in their childish voices.
The young man chuckled as he watched the wolf cubs' eager expressions. He knelt down and ruffled each of their furry little ears. "So, shouldn't the first step to becoming a powerful male orc warrior be getting used to your human form?"
He knew perfectly well that every single one of these wolf cubs was capable of transforming into human form, yet they insisted on remaining in their beast form every day. But then again, two legs can't move as fast as four.
The wolf cubs froze, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, but refusing to look at Lin Baiyan.
The young man stared at the group of wolf cubs who dared not meet his gaze, both amused and exasperated. "Wolf Cloud, you make sure they can walk properly these next few days!"
They run away in their beast forms every day, and Lin Baiyan is really afraid that one day they will turn into human form and won't even be able to walk.
Wolf Cloud frowned as he looked at the wolf cubs on the ground, then nodded in agreement. The priest was right; these cubs had already learned to transform, yet they still maintained their beast forms all the time, which was really inappropriate.
Wolf Cloud narrowed his eyes, staring at them with increasing danger. One of the wolf cubs, Wolf Wood, keenly noticed Wolf Cloud's gaze and managed to howl at him twice, "Boss, Boss, that little sub-beastman Cat Summer has always been in beast form!"
The other wolf cubs echoed this with howls.
They even dared to single out Mao Xia as an example; it seems they've been having too good a life these past few days.
Wolf Cloud clenched his fist and punched them one by one, saying, "You're not allowed to say that in front of Cat Summer, do you hear me?"
"Awooo?" She couldn't understand the wolf language of our wolf clan.
The sounds that orcs make when they transform into their beast form can only be understood by orcs of the same type.
Lang Yun's face was stern. "She doesn't understand, and you're not allowed to talk to her like that!"
"She is a sub-orc, and we male orcs are obligated to protect and respect sub-orcs."
"Besides, it's not that she can't transform into human form, it's just that it will be a little later."
The wolf cubs whimpered softly when they saw Wolf Cloud's serious expression.
"I know, I know!"
Cat Summer was already feeling guilty about not being able to transform into human form, and felt like she was a burden.
If that little crybaby heard someone say that, she would definitely hide and cry secretly.
Wolf Cloud subconsciously thought about it, and Cat Summer looked at him with teary eyes.
Xia the kitten was always well-behaved. Even when she cried, she wouldn't make a fuss; she would just curl up into a ball and secretly shed tears.
Thinking about that crybaby, and then looking at those muscular, carefree wolf cubs on the ground, I felt particularly annoyed.
He raised his hand and shooed them to the side, "Go over there, all of you, turn into human form so you can learn how to walk!"
Lin Baiyan watched as Lang Yun, acting like a little adult, lectured the wolf cubs. He reached out and patted Lang Yun on the shoulder, saying, "I didn't realize our little Lang Yun was such a gentleman!"
The young cub looked at the young man with a puzzled expression, "What is a gentleman?"
Lin Baiyan smiled awkwardly, "That's not important."
"The important thing is that Little Wolf Cloud, at such a young age, already knows how to protect and respect the sub-beastmen. That's fantastic," the young man praised.
Wolf Cloud's fair face flushed slightly at the young man's praise. He turned his head away, looking somewhat arrogant, and said stubbornly, "I just don't want that little crybaby Cat Summer to start whining again after hearing this."
"Okay, anyway, Priest Brother thanks you on behalf of Little Cat Xia."
Wolf Cloud gave an awkward hum, "I'm going to watch them run!"
The young man watched Lang Yun's departing figure with gentle, indulgent eyes.
The hunting party had already left, but the beastmen who remained in the cave were not idle either. Lin Baiyan gathered everyone together.
Now, of the tribespeople who have left, there are forty-eight young children who ran away and are no longer able to work, and forty remain.
Lin Baiyan looked at the orcs gathered together and said loudly, "Now the hunting team is going out to find more food for us to get through the winter, and the orcs left in the cave can't be idle either."
"Although most of the people here are sub-orcs, we can't let our hunting teams outdo us!"
Upon hearing this, the sub-beastmen loudly echoed, "That's right, our gathering team is no less capable than the hunting team!"
The young man nodded in satisfaction. It's good to have motivation; with motivation comes hope for life.
"From today onwards, the beastmen in the cave will be divided into three groups."
"The first group of beastmen went to collect bamboo shoots and potatoes. The adult sub-beastmen selected ten people and divided them into two teams, led by Uncle Rabbit Forest and Sheep Leaf."
There are sixteen adult sub-orcs in total, and with ten people in two teams, each team consists of five people.
He felt very reassured that the two of them were leading the collection team, as Tu Lin was experienced in collecting and Yang Ye was meticulous.
Yang Ye was a little uneasy. He hadn't expected to become a leader of a gathering team. He looked at Lin Baiyan anxiously, "I... I've never been a leader of a gathering team before. Can I do it?"
Lin Baiyan looked at him encouragingly, "Of course you can. Wasn't it you who discovered the garlic before?"
"And when you were digging bamboo shoots before, every single one of the bamboo shoots you dug up was perfectly intact."
"Besides, there's Uncle Tulin. You can ask him if there's anything you're unsure about."
Looking into Lin Baiyan's eyes, Yang Ye suddenly felt calmer. Although he was still a little apprehensive, he also wanted to give it a try!
He felt an unprecedented sense of confidence and responsibility, and Yang Ye mustered his courage, "I will try my best!"
Lin Baiyan smiled and nodded.
"The second part is for Grandma Xiyang and Grandpa Houlin. Let Hujiang continue weaving baskets and making curtains." This time, Hujiang was left behind as well.
As far as Lin Baiyan was concerned, Hu Jiang's crafting skills far surpassed his hunting abilities. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses; since one has their strengths, why obsess over their weaknesses?
When Hu Jiang heard that he was told to continue weaving baskets, his eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously. Ever since Lin Baiyan told him to specialize in handicrafts, it seemed that he had finally found something that suited him.
Fox Shadow, standing to the side, was also very happy for her brother.
