Chapter 216 New Life
Lin Baiyan led a wolf cloud on his left, held a lynx in his arms, followed by a kitten Xia on his right, and a string of cubs behind him, dragging them to the square like a big brother.
By this time, the square was piled high with supplies, the largest quantities of which were animal hides and meat, piled up like three small hills, along with some animal bones.
They didn't have enough carts, so Lin Baiyan and his team used whatever materials they had on hand to make a few planks to get the supplies back, which worked out.
At this moment, Tu Lin and Mao Yu stared at the piled-up supplies with shining eyes, their expressions remarkably similar.
Perhaps because she's been spending so much time with Rabbit Forest, Cat Feather now values supplies more than anything else, spending all her time in the storage cave organizing supplies with Rabbit Forest.
The task of calculating supplies should have fallen to Lin Baiyan, since he was the tribe's priest and the task of distributing food should naturally be his responsibility.
However, Lin Baiyan had too many things to do: planting plants, building a construction team, and managing the breeding area. He was so busy that he wished he could split himself into three parts. At this time, Maoyu was able to share some of his tasks.
Thanks to Cat Feather's hard work, she does well in math and literacy. The half-grown kitten probably knows she can help, so she is very diligent every day.
At this moment, Maoyu and Tulin each pounced on the supplies. Maoyu happily hugged the meat, while Tulin lovingly stroked the hide.
"There's so much meat, we can eat it for a year!"
"These animal hides are of really good quality."
The old man and the young man were talking at the same time, and they looked exactly like money-grubbers.
Lin Baiyan watched their actions with amusement and reminded them, "The rotten flesh on those beast meats still needs to be removed, and then they need to be marinated."
Although the meat they received in exchange was cured, it was only covered with a thin layer of salt, and some of the lean meat had already begun to smell rotten.
But that doesn’t mean they can’t eat them. The beastmen’s powerful digestive system allows them to eat many foods that humans couldn’t eat before. However, just to be on the safe side, Lin Baiyan decided to pickle them again.
Cat Feather reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there wasn't much salt. But that was easy to fix, as salt was the last thing their tribe had in abundance.
"I'll discuss it with Brother Yangye tomorrow and finish marinating all this meat as soon as possible."
Cat Feather felt a pang of heartache. The longer it sat there, the faster the meat would rot. This was all supplies that their tribe had worked so hard to bring back; they couldn't let it go to waste like this.
The little cubs saw all the food and jumped around happily, playing around the food pile.
Lin Baiyan nodded, stepped forward and patted Maoyu's head. The boy had grown up and was full of confidence in every move. He was no longer the timid boy he used to be in the White Cat Tribe.
He remarked with some emotion, "Yu has grown up quite a bit."
Cat Feather's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Baiyan. "Can you help Priest Brother?"
Lin Baiyan paused for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Of course, you are already a great sub-beastman."
Cat Feather's eyes suddenly lit up with a huge light, "I will definitely work harder!"
Lin Baiyan looked at him, who was so excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "You don't need to feel so much pressure. You are still an underage cub. Even if the sky falls, the adult beastmen will hold it up."
Cat Feather nodded obediently on the surface, but secretly decided to learn twenty more characters today!
That evening, Lin Baiyan kept his promise and made a bowl of sweet taro and goat milk paste for each of the cubs using taro, goat milk, and honey.
Of course, the adults also get some, but each person only gets a small spoonful to taste it.
Panpan Sheep has completely given up on the idea of dying and has settled down in the Cangyan tribe.
When Lin Baiyan returned, a large bucket of goat milk had just been squeezed out of the tribe. Since there were no newborn cubs in the tribe at the moment, the goat milk was first distributed to Xiaolangmu and the others.
The milk from the Panpan sheep doesn't have such a strong goaty smell, but it's not as delicious either; the young lambs have long been tired of it.
However, breast milk is precious and has always been a rare food for cubs. Rabbit Forest couldn't let them waste these resources, so they forced them to drink it.
Unexpectedly, Lin Baiyan made such a delicious treat for them with their hated goat milk as soon as he returned. The little cubs drank it with sparkling eyes and great joy.
Looking at their expressions, Tu Lin feigned displeasure and snorted, "These little brats have eaten too much good food. When our tribe has newborn cubs, they won't even get a chance to drink this goat's milk."
Hearing what Tu Lin said, Lin Baiyan's mind stirred. "What? Is there good news from the tribe?"
Speaking of this, Rabbit Forest was wide awake, grinning, "I haven't told you yet, Sheep Leaf and Mouse Moon are pregnant!"
Lin Baiyan looked up in surprise. "Really?"
He immediately turned his gaze to Yang Ye, who nodded shyly.
"Of course! Sheep Leaf was pregnant for a month, then for two months, and soon there will be newborn cubs in the tribe!"
Thinking of the new life about to be born, Tu Lin couldn't stop smiling.
Lin Baiyan: "!"
"That's wonderful!" Lin Baiyan frowned after her initial excitement. "How can Yang Ye still be working in the planting area? She should be resting at home."
Tu Lin was completely confused. "Rest? Rest what? He can run and jump and he's not injured."
Yang Ye was also puzzled, and he quickly waved his hand, "I don't need to rest."
Seeing the slightly bewildered look in Tu Lin's eyes, Lin Baiyan rubbed his forehead. "Isn't that right?"
He didn't know either. He had only heard that the first three months of pregnancy were more dangerous and that one should rest at home.
However, this doesn't seem to apply to the Orcish Continent, since the sub-orcs there only need five months to give birth.
Tu Lin waved his hand dismissively, "No need to rest. Just pray to the Beast God and ask for his blessing so that the two babies in their bellies can be born safely."
Yang Ye nodded seriously beside him.
Hearing this familiar charlatan's routine, Lin Baiyan was speechless.
Although he didn't know if the pregnancy guidelines on Earth could be applied to the Beastman Continent, he was certain that Rabbit Forest's approach was completely unacceptable!
