Chapter 214 Going Home (2)
Lin Baiyan's fingers trembled slightly as he pointed to the wall, which was almost completely topped out. "What... what's going on here?"
Yangye looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the tribe's wall. He suddenly realized, "Oh, this is it."
"It's the Silver Tiger Clan. They often come to help, so the construction was completed faster," Yang Ye explained somewhat embarrassedly.
Lin Baiyan was a little puzzled. Had their tribe become so familiar with the Silver Tiger Clan without his knowledge?
They even helped build the walls around the tribe?
Meeting Lin Baiyan's questioning gaze, Yang Ye became even more embarrassed, "We provide meals."
“They work for us, and we get two meals a day.”
Although these tigers have a big appetite, they are also very hardworking. Each time they come, there are thirty or forty male orcs who significantly speed up the construction of the wall.
Lin Baiyan: "..."
Case solved.
If you were to ask what else could attract these tigers, it would only be the novel and delicious food of their tribe.
Lin Baiyan was speechless.
Just then, a large tiger came along pulling a cart full of stones. When it saw Lin Baiyan, it instinctively stiffened, feeling somewhat guilty.
They came out to work behind the clan chief's back, and you can't blame them for that, because the food made by the Cangyan Tribe is just too delicious!
Every time they went hunting with the male orcs of the Azure Flame Tribe, the Silver Tiger Tribe's tigers were practically turning into sour lemons from the aroma of their delicious food.
In addition, the relationship between the two tribes was gradually improving, so the tigers came up with this wicked idea: when they went out hunting each day, they would send some of their people to work, and the food they brought back would be shared among everyone.
They maintained this arrangement discreetly for three months, but then suddenly things went wrong today, and they ran into the priest of the Azure Flame Tribe.
Since their priest and chieftain have returned, it means that Captain Huyang is already on his way back to the tribe.
Thinking of this, the tigers shrank back uncomfortably. If Hu Yang knew they were so eager to come and work for someone else, he would definitely teach them a lesson.
The large tiger at the front was almost about to turn and run away, but Lin Baiyan stopped it with lightning speed, saying, "Wait."
Tiger Butcher was a little uneasy. "W-what's wrong, High Priest?"
"Thank you all for your help these past few days. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for us to build the city wall in such a short time on our own."
Lin Baiyan looked on with amusement as the towering tiger, nearly 1.9 meters tall, cowered in front of him. He lowered his voice and thanked them.
He had originally calculated that with their tribe's current workforce, there weren't many orcs they could dedicate to the construction team.
Lin Baiyan's preliminary calculations show that it would take at least ten months to build a city wall with a circumference of three kilometers and a height of eight meters. Adding the various watchtowers on the wall, it would take at least a year.
With the help of these dozens of tigers from the Silver Tiger Clan, they have actually completed most of the construction in just three months, and it looks like it will be topped out soon.
As expected of a fighting tribe, their strength in both combat and labor is truly remarkable.
"Wait a moment, I'll have them bring you some food back."
Hu Liu's face lit up with joy, but he quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, you have already given us plenty of food."
Lin Baiyan insisted, "Yes, if you'd like, you can invite your clansmen and we can have a bonfire party together."
The trip yielded a considerable amount of trade, and with the additional supplies obtained from the weasel and reindeer tribes, Lin Baiyan was eager to host a banquet for his brother tribes.
"Go back and tell Hu Yang that I invited him. Don't worry, he definitely won't be angry," Lin Baiyan said confidently.
The big tiger nodded, also showing some anticipation.
As the two were talking, a figure rushed out of the tribe, pulling Lin Baiyan around and carefully examining him. It was none other than Tu Lin. "Let me see, let me see if you are injured?"
Lin Baiyan obediently let Tu Lin spin around several times, then pressed down on his shoulder, "Uncle Tu Lin, don't worry, I'm fine, aren't I?"
"But Lang Cang's leg is injured and hasn't healed yet," Lin Baiyan pointed to Lang Cang's calf wrapped in animal skin beside him, showing it to Tu Lin.
Tu Lin merely glanced in that direction. "He's a male beastman; it's only right that he protects the sub-beastmen."
As he spoke, he pulled a small ceramic bottle from his pocket and tossed it into Lang Cang's hand. "Go back and apply the medicine. What if you get a fever in this weather?"
Lin Baiyan looked at Tu Lin, who was stubborn but soft-hearted, and secretly covered her mouth with a smile.
Lang Cang held the small ceramic bottle, a hint of warmth unconsciously appearing in his eyes.
"But you, I feel like you've gotten thinner and darker since you went out." Tu Lin looked at Lin Baiyan with a bit of heartache and reached out to pinch his shoulder. "Your neck has also become quite thinner."
"Isn't it bad outside? Let's go out less often in the future."
In Tu Lin's view, life in the Cangyan Tribe is already enough to satisfy him. He can be self-sufficient, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. It's like a paradise on earth.
“Even if we can’t eat a lot of meat every day, we still have potatoes and sweet potatoes, right?” Tu Lin knew that his thinking was wrong, but he couldn’t help worrying about it.
Lin Baiyan knew that Tu Lin was just a bit of a chatterbox, so he skillfully coaxed Tu Lin, "Going out will broaden your horizons, and I brought back a lot of good things from the trading market this time, including a particularly beautiful feather for you."
He put his arm around Tu Lin's shoulder and walked into the tribe. "How are things? How's the tribe been these days?"
As he spoke, he gave the tribespeople behind him a look, and they all pulled their belongings toward the tribal square.
Trips after trip, a steady stream of supplies piled up on the square.
Tu Lin said with a smile, "We're doing great. We've harvested another batch of potatoes and planted new ones. We have more plants in the tribe than we can eat."
"Where are the little ones? I can't see them." Lin Baiyan looked around, feeling a bit strange. Every time he came back, the little cubs were always the first to rush up. Why were they nowhere to be seen this time?
Hearing Lin Baiyan's question, Tu Lin couldn't help but laugh, "She's doing a handstand in the activity room."
Lin Baiyan: "???"
