Chapter 164: Taking a bath together?
After obtaining the wooden plaque, Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang returned to their cave.
Lin Baiyan entered the room and threw herself onto the bed, rubbing her animal skin blanket with some reluctance. Then she suddenly looked up at Lang Cang sitting next to the table and said, "I'm still not used to moving all of a sudden."
Lin Baiyan set up this cave bit by bit. After living there for more than half a year, he has added a lot of things.
Next to the window was a small wooden table with some animal hides and model materials scattered on it. This was Lin Baiyan's office area, and the light coming through the window made it easier for him to study.
At the very back of the cave was his bamboo bed, next to which was a bedside table with some odds and ends.
In the middle of the cave was a large wooden table, which was where he and Lang Cang usually ate. Except for meals cooked in a large pot, the two of them ate together almost all the time.
Oh, and he also made a bamboo sofa, covered it with animal hides, and it was incredibly comfortable to lie on.
There are also many memories that have made his cozy little home what it is today.
"If you like, we can continue living in the cave." Lang Cang didn't mind; it didn't matter to him where he lived.
Hearing Lang Cang say that, Lin Baiyan sat up in bed in a flash. "Then forget it. I'm more used to living in a house than in a cave."
"Alright, alright, let's start moving now."
They had quite a lot of things to move. While Lin Baiyan was organizing things in the room, Lang Cang took the lead in carrying the larger pieces of furniture to the new house.
By the time they had moved all their belongings, it was already dark.
Lin Baiyan slumped wearily onto the bamboo sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. "I feel like I'm about to pass out..."
Lang Cang was alright, looking at the pile of things in confusion, "Go to what? Where to go?"
Lin Baiyan chuckled. "It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just kidding."
He frowned and sniffed. "I feel like I smell bad."
He jumped up from the sofa. "I'm going to take a shower!"
"Shall I come with you?" Lang Cang's mind raced before his mouth could process the question.
As soon as the words were spoken, both of them froze on the spot. The atmosphere around them gradually heated up. Lang Cang looked down at Lin Baiyan, his cold and deep eyes filled with an inexplicable dark light.
Lang Cang unconsciously cleared his throat. "I, I didn't mean that. I'll wait for you outside."
Hearing this, Lin Baiyan glared at him slightly, "What else? You want to come along too?"
Although Lang Cang knew it was impossible, a faint glimmer of expectation still rose in his eyes.
Lin Baiyan understood Lang Cang's underlying meaning and ignored the male beastman who was having wild thoughts!
He casually pulled out a fur coat, crumpled it into a ball, tied it in a knot, then suddenly turned around and flashed him a big smile, "You can stay home and tidy up the rest of your things!"
After saying that, he suddenly transformed into a kitten, grabbed the animal skin ball, and darted away. Before Lang Cang could react, he only saw a blur before his eyes.
Then, the kitten lost all its fur...
Lang Cang sighed and resignedly began sweeping the floor.
When will Bai Yan finally come of age?!
The relocation took place in the Cangyan tribe for two or three days. When Lin Baiyan moved in, he discovered that he had become neighbors with the Dwarf Lynx River.
Their little house was built right next to Lin Baiyan's house.
Lang Cang's house is next to Lin Baiyan on one side and Tiger Hill and Sheep Leaf on the other.
Next to Ai Xun and the others were Ma Yuan and Shu Yue.
What surprised Lin Baiyan the most was that Lu Xiao and Xiong Fei actually became partners and quickly moved in together in the house in front of them.
Lin Baiyan couldn't help but marvel at how quickly the orcs formed groups.
If this happened in modern times, it would definitely be considered a whirlwind marriage!
Moreover, neither of them showed any signs of awkwardness, and within two days they were inseparable. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had been dating for a long time.
However, this is quite in line with the process of forming couples in the orc world; if you like each other, you get together.
In fact, the male orcs of the Azure Flame Tribe have become much more reserved, perhaps because their leader is a male orc who values the process.
In any case, the move has been successfully completed.
……
Lin Baiyan was planning to take his people to the peach orchard in the southwestern mountains to pick peaches.
Most of the peaches from last time weren't ripe, so they only picked the ripe ones. Now that so much time has passed, the peaches should be ready to be picked.
How long will it take them to eat all those peaches in such a large orchard?
Dried peaches, peach jam, canned peaches! Even peach pits can be stir-fried!
"Do you think we should invite the Silver Tiger Clan?" Lin Baiyan thought about it again and again, still somewhat conflicted.
Lang Cang calmly ate his jerky on the side, saying, "Go ahead and call if you want."
"That peach orchard is so big, our people alone probably can't pick them all. It's such a waste." Food is extremely scarce on the Beastman Continent, and Lin Baiyan can't stand seeing any food being wasted for no reason.
"But there are iron mines in the southwestern mountains. Should we take them there?" This was the real dilemma for Lin Baiyan.
Lang Cang didn't care. "It's alright. Even if they see the iron ore, they won't know what it's used for."
Moreover, they have been in frequent contact with the Silver Tiger Clan these days, and from Lang Cang's perspective, they are considered to be relatively good neighbors.
He added tactfully, "They... well... are still quite naive."
In reality, Lang Cang was being modest. To put it nicely, these big tigers of the Silver Tiger Clan are naive, but in reality, they are simple-minded and physically strong.
The entire tribe, including its members and chieftain, highly revered combat, and indeed, their fighting prowess was quite formidable.
However, other aspects are not very developed.
Ever since they learned that the food in the Azure Flame Tribe was delicious, the Silver Tiger Tribe has been coming every few days to exchange for food.
Dried cured pork, dried sweet potato, dried bamboo shoots, colorful phoenix eggs... even the seasonings have changed a lot.
Hearing Lang Cang say that, Lin Baiyan nodded and made up her mind, "In that case, go and invite them. If they are willing, we will go together tomorrow."
"If the peaches in the peach orchard aren't picked soon, they'll probably rot."
Lang Cang stuffed all the jerky in his hand into his mouth. "Alright, I'll go."
I don't know how Lin Baiyan made this jerky, it's salty and fragrant, and the thin slices are very flavorful.
Lang Cang didn't show it on his face, but he clearly enjoyed it very much, and finished eating what Lin Baiyan had given him in no time.
Looking at the empty animal skin bag, a hint of regret flashed in Lang Cang's eyes.
"Alright, I'll make more next time." Lin Baiyan looked at Lang Cang, who was staring blankly at the animal skin bag, with amusement.
I didn't expect Lang Cang to like eating so much. It's rare for him to show such great interest in a particular food, so let's make him a lot more.
Hearing Lin Baiyan say that, Lang Cang felt a little embarrassed, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
