Chapter 158 Tent by the River
Chapter 158 Tent by the River
In the past few days, Chen Shiyue has felt the chill in the morning and evening, and feels that the cold season is not far away. After asking Yiyun, it is only a little more than a full moon away from the cold season.
According to Yiyun's description, the winter season in the beast world is very cold, and the whole world will be covered with snow. In the past winter season, the beastmen and females stayed in the big caves to keep each other warm, and the beastmen would eat less, leaving more food for the females and cubs.
Chen Shiyue felt a sense of crisis. With insufficient food reserves, keeping warm was the primary problem. She had to find someone from the garment factory to discuss winter clothing. Although long-haired animal skins were warm, one piece was not enough. Wearing more than two pieces was too thick and inflexible. The wool production was limited, and each female could only get one sweater at most. It would be great if there was cotton. I wonder if Yan Yi could bring back some rabbit fur from the rabbit tribe this time. I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks to the efforts of the orcs, the houses in the residences of various tribes have basically been built and are gradually entering the decoration stage.
Yiyun was flying in the air, looking down at Beifeng City. Many of their houses were still under construction.
Liefeng sat on Liebai's body and came to the riverside. He looked up at the sky and said, "Lord Yiyun, do you have something to ask me?"
Yiyun slowly landed on the wooden bridge, and his large black wings slowly folded behind him.
Lie Feng was unhappy. Compared with him, he just lacked a pair of wings. He didn't care about ordinary flying beasts, but facing a big black tiger with the same strength as himself and the ability to fly, it would be strange if he could feel comfortable.
Yiyun nodded slightly and said, "There is only one full moon left until the cold season, and many of your houses have not been built yet. How about this, I will return all the orcs you lent to Yaocheng, but I want to mine the coal and stone on your mountain."
Lie Feng said calmly, "Didn't I ask the beastmen to send a lot of coal to Shi Yue?"
Yiyun said: "That is not enough, far from enough, we need more. Think about it, the original agreement is that your orcs should work in Yaocheng until the cold season comes. If they don't have to go back so soon, I can let them help us hunt and store meat for the cold season."
Liefeng stared at Yiyun, frowned slightly and said: "The orcs are all back. You can send ten orcs to dig five sunrises of coal."
Yiyun shook his head and said, "Too little, we can only return half of it to the orcs. With so much coal, does Chief Liefeng think that other tribes besides Yaocheng will come to trade? Other tribes are not close to us, not to mention that it is inconvenient to carry the coal. Even if they can carry it, they would rather cut trees than trade coal with you."
Liefeng felt that this black tiger was just trying to make things difficult for him. However, what Yiyun said made sense. There was a lot of coal and stone. Apart from Yaocheng, it seemed that no other tribe would come to trade coal and stone with them. He reluctantly said, "Twenty orcs can dig eight sunrises, no more."
Yiyun smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled. Lord Liefeng, all the orcs in North Wind City will go back before dark." After he finished speaking, the two wings behind him opened and he slowly rose into the air and left.
Liefeng looked at the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lie Bai raised his snake head and said unhappily: "City Lord, if you want to make City Lord Yiyun uncomfortable, just make his partner your partner."
Lie Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? That also requires that the female is willing to let me get close." He looked down at the big white python under him and said, "How are you and the female from the chameleon clan opposite?"
Lie Bai shook his head and said, "I haven't agreed yet, City Lord, do you also agree that I should be with her?"
Liefeng looked at the river and said calmly, "Why don't you agree? The cold season is coming soon. If you want to keep your position as the first partner, you need her to bear your child first. Go find her at night."
Lie Bai... He just asked, he didn't want to get married right away.
In the evening, Lie Bai and Xiong Li both went to Yaocheng Trading Center to get food.
Li saw Xiong Li and deliberately walked over and said, "Hey, Big Gray Bear, Big White Python, you are here."
Lie Bai nodded calmly and walked towards the dining area without looking around.
Xiong Li was a little nervous, and he quickly walked past Li and said, "I'm going to get the food."
Li looked at Xiong Li's somewhat panicked figure, stopped where she was, and laughed inadvertently.
As soon as Liebai stood in the dining area, Yin ran out from the kitchen and said, "Liebai, you're here."
Lie Bai turned to her and saw the smile on her face. He felt warm in his heart. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face and he whispered, "Yin."
Yin's smile became even brighter. This was the first time Liebai called her name. She smiled and said, "Liebai, I'll go get the food." Then she happily went into the kitchen.
Xiong Li walked up to the three elders of Beifeng City who were sitting in the corner and said with a smile, "The elders are here really early." He was somewhat skeptical as to whether these three elders considered themselves as orcs of Beifeng City. Every day they either went hunting or sat in the dining area of Yaocheng.
Elder Locke smiled and said, "We are old now, so this is our hobby."
While Xiong Li was chatting with the three elders, Yin and several females had already brought out the food and placed it on the table.
Seeing the other females walk away and only Yin was standing beside him, Liebai lowered his head and whispered in Yin's ear: "I'll wait for you outside tonight."
After Liebai finished speaking, his face turned red and he called out to Xiong Li, “Xiong Li, let’s go.”
Xiong Li came over immediately, and the two orcs carried large and small pots and left the dining area and walked out of the trading center.
Yin stared at Lie Bai's back in a daze. She seemed to have heard Lie Bai asking her out just now.
Li came over and bumped into him, "Why are you so stupid?"
Yin smiled foolishly and said, "Lie Bai asked me out."
"Really?" Several females came over.
Li Zaiyin whispered in her ear: "Catch him tonight."
Yin's face turned red. This seemed a bit difficult, because that snake was not easy to talk to.
"Li." Some orcs and females came into the trading center one after another, and some females greeted Li.
The dining area soon became busy and lively.
After Liebai and Xiongli took the food back, they had just finished their portions when Liefeng said, "Liebai, you should go to the river to guard at night."
Xiong Li was puzzled and asked: "City Lord, aren't there orcs guarding the river? Why let Lie Bai go?"
Liefeng said calmly: "Before the cold season, let Liebai be on duty, or do you want to go and accompany Liebai?"
Xiong Li immediately shook his head and said, "No, I want to sleep."
Lie Bai blushed and said, "Okay." He turned into a snake and prepared to leave.
Liefeng added, "I have asked the orcs to put a tent by the river."
Lie Bai paused slightly, then quickly walked away.
It plunged into the river, swam back and forth in the water several times, then changed into a human form, went ashore, and walked towards a small tent by the river.
This tent was right opposite the trading center, and he could faintly hear the noises coming from the other side. The tent was not big, and his beast form had to be coiled up to fit inside.
Lie Bai coiled in the tent for a while, then slowly swam out of the tent, crossed the river and swam to the other side, then lay down motionless, completely restraining his breath.
The orcs and females from the trading center came out one after another and went to the residence of Yaocheng.
Li went to the ward on the second floor of the clinic, where Wally was recovering from his injuries. She quietly leaned over the window and looked out, hoping to see something. However, she could see nothing but darkness.
"Wally, come here and tell me everything you see." Li shouted.
Yin trotted to the river outside the trading center and called out in a low voice: "Lie Bai."
A white shadow swam over, transformed into a human form in front of her, and whispered, "I'm here."
Yin happily rushed over and said, "Liebai, I've made up my mind. I don't care that you are a snake beastman."
Lie Bai looked down at her and said, "Don't you care that I can't keep you warm in the cold season?"
Yin looked up at him, eyes bright, and nodded, "Don't worry, I can cover myself with a lot of animal skins in the cold season, so I won't be cold."
Lie Bai raised his hand, helped her tidy up her hair and said, "After tonight, it will be too late for you to regret."
Yin said firmly: "I won't regret it."
Liebai suddenly turned into a big white python, rolled up Yin with his tail, and swam into the river.
Yin said nervously, "Liebai, where are we going?"
Lie Bai said: "You will know in a moment."
Liebai's snake tail was raised high, without touching the water at all.
After getting on the shore, Yin vaguely saw a small tent by the river and asked in surprise: "When did a tent appear here?"
Liebai transformed into a human form and carried Yin into the tent, closing the door.
Suddenly, Yin couldn't see anything, and she nervously grabbed Lie Bai's arm.
Lie Bai lowered his head to her ear and said, "You really don't regret it?"
Yin was a little scared, but still nodded and said, "No regrets."
Lie Bai gently bit her ear and asked, "Shall we be together tonight?"
Yin's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. She thought she was going to take the initiative, so she nodded shyly.
Yin had just nodded when Lie Bai gently laid her down on the soft ground covered with soft animal skins. She nervously grabbed Lie Bai's hand and said, "Only one can use it."
Lie Bai kissed her on the cheek and said, "Take turns."
On the second floor of the clinic, Wally finished speaking in a few words, and Li was not satisfied and asked, "That's all?"
Wall-E nodded and said, "How about we go over and listen."
Li slapped him and said, "Listen, go back and lie down obediently."
