All The Furry Creatures In The Beast World Are Farming With Me – CH64

Chapter 64

Lang Yan suspected that the injured part of him was not his arm, but his brain. Otherwise, how could he be seeing a scene like this?

Either his brain was broken, or his eyes were broken.

The sub-adults could not possibly be this obedient.

Yet no matter how much he doubted it, the unbelievable scene in front of him did not disappear. The sub-adult black wolves ate meat very quickly, and it was obvious they were not full yet, but when they picked food into their bowls, they were not anxious. From beginning to end, there was no fighting.

Lang Yan quietly watched this scene that was half reality, half dream, and did not speak for a long time.

Only when Lang Shuo discovered his presence through the sub-adult black wolves’ small movements did he say, “Chief Lang Yan?”

The sub-adult black wolves had performed well tonight. At first, they had indeed snatched a few times, but after eating leafy vegetables several times, they had completely settled down. Now, they had much more sense of order. Lang Shuo was satisfied, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Lang Yan felt even more as if he were dreaming.

Lang Shuo found it strange. Lang Yan had come over, so why was he not speaking?

Was he waiting for his brother to come over? After all, there were more matters to discuss between chiefs.

Thinking this, Lang Shuo spoke again. “Please wait a moment. My brother will be here soon.”

Lang Yan abruptly came back to himself. “It’s fine, no hurry. You handle your work first. We’ll send the prey directly over there.” They knew the Snow Wolf Tribe’s place for raising prey. New prey could be sent directly there, and there were Snow Wolf Tribe members there too. It was not absolutely necessary for Lang Yu to come over.

Besides, Lang Yan wished Lang Yu would come back even later.

Lang Shuo asked again, and only after confirming that they were the same as yesterday and planned to return to the tribe together with the sub-adult black wolves did he feel reassured.

The sub-adults would not finish eating for a while, so there was completely enough time. Lang Shuo also did not go call Lang Yu. Digging the cellar was tiring to begin with, and the Black Wolf Tribe often came over. There was no need to immediately stop work and come over every single time. That would be too troublesome. Cooperation was for the tribe’s better development. Being too polite would instead deviate from the original intention.

Lang Shuo returned and continued pouring food into the pot.

On the other side, several adult black wolves carried a humming beast past Lang Yan.

Just then, the humming beast suddenly kicked violently and happened to strike Lang Yan’s injured arm.

One black wolf member saw it and immediately panicked. “Chief, is the wound on your body all right?”

The other party’s voice was too loud, and Lang Shuo immediately stopped what he was doing. Even the sub-adult black wolves, who had originally been feasting heartily, stopped.

The sub-adult black wolves ran over like a gust of wind and surrounded their chief to look at his injury.

For a moment, Lang Shuo could no longer care about the sub-adults’ meal, much less fuss over the fact that the sub-adults had run around. He first asked about the patient’s condition. “Where are you hurt? Is it serious?”

As he asked, he felt something was not quite right. Lang Yan was hurt, yet he was not anxious at all. If no one had said anything, was he planning to keep enduring it?

Was there really no problem with the members around him? Their chief being injured was such a big thing, yet the member behind Lang Yan had shouted it out so carelessly. Was that really all right?

If not for the relatively harmonious relationship between their tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe, after learning this news, they absolutely would have other thoughts.

Lang Shuo first glanced at the adult black wolf who had spoken and found that the other party’s face only showed concern over Lang Yan’s injury.

Lang Shuo: “…”

He had overthought it. The other party probably had not thought about that layer at all.

Lang Yan first sent away the group of sub-adults. Discovering that Lang Shuo was looking this way, he turned sideways to block the arm that had been hit by the humming beast.

Being injured could indeed win sympathy, but he had never thought of doing that.

Being injured meant he was not strong enough.

“Where are you hurt? Let me see.” Lang Shuo looked him up and down but did not find any obvious external injury on Lang Yan’s body. Suspecting that the wound was covered by the animal hide, his tone became somewhat anxious.

Lang Yan hesitated for a moment. Not wanting the other party to worry, he still stretched out his arm. “It got hit. It’s not serious. It’ll be fine after resting for one night.”

Lang Shuo did not believe him. The tone of that black wolf just now had not sounded like a small matter. He took the arm and checked it once, discovering that the area around the elbow was somewhat red and swollen.

Lang Shuo pressed gently, confirming with Lang Yan the location of the pain and the level of pain. Only then did he let out a breath of relief.

It was not as simple as Lang Yan had said. The red and swollen area would probably turn bruised purple tomorrow or the day after. However, it was also not as serious as the black wolf member behind him had shouted. It was just an ordinary impact injury and had not hurt the bone.

Lang Shuo considered it. With their current conditions, there was no way to do a cold compress. He could only apply some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving herbs first.

Lang Shuo returned to the cave and searched for a while. When he came out, Lang Yu was also there. Lang Shuo called out and handed the basket in his hands to Lang Yan. “The ones that have been pounded are anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving. I’ve already ground them. Just apply them to the injured area. The remaining herbs are for promoting blood circulation and dispersing bruises. Pound them tomorrow around this time and apply them.”

Lang Yan agreed. Seeing that he did not conceal the types of herbs, he was somewhat surprised.

Previously, when Hu Yun gave them ointment, he practically wished he could add every medicinal herb possible, in case they recognized which types were useful.

Lang Shuo thought he felt there were too few types and explained, “Some haven’t been processed yet, so they’re not suitable to use.”

Some herbs were toxic and could not be used directly. Lang Yan’s injury was not too severe, so Lang Shuo only chose a few that did not need processing. These few could be used once crushed and were more convenient.

“These are already enough.” Lang Yan shook his head. In the past, he had been too lazy to see Hu Yun. He would not have paid attention to this kind of small injury at all, and it would return to normal after a few days.

His brother was watching beside him, so Lang Shuo did not say much more. He only instructed, “It’s inconvenient with one hand. Find someone to help you apply the medicine.”

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”

The black wolf member who was very concerned about the chief immediately volunteered himself and seized the best position.

Seeing that someone was helping here, Lang Shuo went back to continue watching the sub-adults eat.

Although they had already corrected quite a bit, with the sub-adults’ personalities, if they were not watched, they would revert to their original state in less than one meal’s time.

While Lang Shuo was absent just now, Lang Yun had taken over his work. Seeing him come over, she asked, “How is it? How badly is he hurt?”

The sub-adult black wolves had returned after seeing Lang Yan’s injury. Clearly, such an injury was also a common occurrence to them and not worth worrying about. However, the two tribes valued injuries differently. Lang Yun did not know whether the sub-adults were heartless or whether Lang Yan was truly fine.

“There’s no big problem. He was bumped. After applying medicine, it’ll be better in a few days,” Lang Shuo explained.

Lang Yun therefore did not ask about this issue anymore.

Lang Shuo also placed his attention on the sub-adults. Seeing that they had eaten obediently even when he was not there, he nodded in satisfaction.

It was at this moment that Lang Shuo heard movement behind him.

The black wolf member helping apply medicine used too much force. He scooped up a handful of ointment with his hand and slapped it onto Lang Yan’s arm with a smack.

Lang Yan, who had not made a sound even when Lang Shuo had checked his injury just now, turned pale and sucked in a breath.

Lang Shuo: “???”

Those who knew understood this was applying medicine for their chief. Those who did not know might think it was torture.

Even Lang Yu beside them paused, not expecting someone to be this ruthless toward their own chief.

“I’ll apply the medicine. You go eat first.” Lang Shuo quickly drove away the group of adult black wolves who could only make things worse. He discovered that he had overestimated this group of black wolves. Originally, he thought adult black wolves were more reliable than sub-adult black wolves, completely forgetting that their essence was the same. It was only that the sub-adult black wolves were usually too unreliable, making the adult black wolves seem steadier by comparison.

Another reason was that the ones he had the most contact with were Lang Yan and Lang Qi. One was steady, and the other was cautious. These two were completely different from the other wolves. Especially Lang Yan. The gap between him and the other black wolves was so large they did not seem to have come from the same tribe.

As Lang Shuo thought this inwardly, his hands did not slow at all. He first confirmed that the adult black wolf just now had not caused secondary injury, then spread out the lump of ointment on top.

“Who did you learn this technique from?” Lang Shuo could not help asking. It was almost the same as murder.

Lang Yan said, “…It should have been the previous priest.”

The adult black wolf who had not gone far nodded. “Right, the priest did it like this.” When Hu Yun applied medicine to them, he often used this method, taking the ointment and slapping it onto the wound, saying it would heal faster this way.

Lang Shuo: “…”

Setting aside whether this method was truly effective or deliberate revenge, the strength of foxes and wolves was different by itself. Added to the fact that Hu Yun was old, compared with that adult wolf just now, the difference in strength between the two was like heaven and earth.

Lang Shuo was glad that what he had taken out was ointment and did not contain any sharp objects, and that Lang Yan’s injury was on his arm. Being heavy-handed would at most hurt for a moment. If it had been a vulnerable place like the chest or abdomen, the Black Wolf Tribe might need to change chiefs early.

He had been careless. He had only thought danger might come from hunting or other special situations. He had completely failed to consider that one could also be stabbed by one’s own people.

In the future, he also needed to mention this to the sub-adults. No matter where the injury was, it had to be treated carefully.

Lang Shuo once again felt mentally exhausted on Lang Yan’s behalf.

Lang Yan was much calmer than them, as if he had already gotten used to it. He only lowered his head and looked at the injury on his arm.

Lang Shuo applied all the ointment, withdrew his hand, wiped it with an animal hide, and instructed, “Don’t touch it today. Avoid it when bathing. Wash it off tomorrow when you change the medicine.”

Lang Yan nodded, his gaze leaving his arm.

Lang Shuo looked around and saw that the other members had basically all found positions. He said, “Wait a moment. I’ll arrange a safer position for you.”

They were eating hot pot tonight, and there were seven or eight members beside every stove. Just now, after he had told those black wolf members to go eat, Lang Yun had already arranged them by three empty stoves.

Lang Yan had not brought many people today. Lang Qi and a small portion of the team members were not here, so three stoves were more than enough. There were still places around them, but right now, Lang Shuo did not dare let Lang Yan go eat there.

The adult black wolves’ way of eating was on par with the sub-adult black wolves. When they started eating later, if they accidentally bumped into Lang Yan, that would not be good. His injury had already been hit and slapped, and it was hurting now. If someone touched it a few more times, would that not be injury on top of injury on top of injury?

Lang Shuo thought about the arrangements and soon had an idea. “You can eat with us.”

There were exactly eight people on their side. However, Lang Shuo needed to watch the cubs and generally chose a position with more space, so they ate at the stove in the farthest corner. This stove was relatively large. After eight snow wolf members sat down, there was still room. Adding two more members would not make it crowded, so adding one Lang Yan was completely no problem.

Most importantly, on this side, aside from him and Lang Yu, there were Lang Yun and the others. It was not Lang Shuo boasting. Their side was definitely much more civilized than the adult black wolf side. No matter who sat beside Lang Yan, they would not touch his wound.

Lang Yan was very easy to talk to. He thanked him. “Thank you.”

“It’s fine.” Lang Shuo waved his hand. The other party had come over to deliver prey while injured. On that point alone, they had to take care of him.

After speaking, Lang Shuo quietly tugged his own brother’s hand and gave him a look.

Lang Shuo knew that Lang Yu did not like Lang Yan much, but the other party was injured after all. At such a time, he could give in a little.

Lang Yu rubbed his younger brother’s hair. “Go wait. I’ll get the food.” It was not as if he would fuss with an injured beastman.

Seeing this attitude, Lang Shuo let out a breath of relief.

Lang Yan seemed not to see the small movements between the brothers. He followed Lang Shuo to the other side. When passing by the sub-adult black wolves and adult black wolves, he saw the sub-adult black wolves orderly picking food, while the adult black wolves, by contrast, were each staring fiercely at the pot in the middle, as if questioning why it was taking so long to cook.

Lang Yan quickened his pace and followed Lang Shuo.

Lang Shuo brought Lang Yan to the place and then went to the sub-adults’ side to ask, “Can you put ingredients into the pot yourselves?”

Usually, when he, Lang Yun, and the others were preparing food, they would eat in advance. But eating hot pot took too much time, and the few of them had not eaten yet.

Lang Shuo did not need to worry about the other stoves. Snow wolves were steady. As long as they were taught once, they could basically learn eight or nine parts of it. Besides, putting food into the pot was not difficult to begin with. The main things to pay attention to were separating raw and cooked food and not splashing anything onto themselves. As long as the precautions were told to them, everyone would remember. The sub-adults’ side was more troublesome, but just now, he had poured in quite a few plates of food, and Lang Yun had brought several more plates. The sub-adults should have already learned.

“Yes.” The sub-adults nodded together.

Lang Shuo looked over the members and made arrangements. “Nuo, you few are responsible for adding the food. These meat dishes and these vegetable dishes are all yours. You have to finish all of them.”

Lang Nuo agreed.

Lang Shuo went to check the adult wolves again.

Perhaps because they had been influenced by the sub-adults, these adult wolves also did not randomly move their chopsticks. It was just that everyone was staring tightly at the soup base, as if the pot could grow legs and run away.

When Lang Shuo had been instructing the sub-adults just now, they had been secretly watching the whole time. Discovering that Lang Shuo was walking toward their side, they immediately straightened their bodies.

Lang Shuo told them the precautions he had instructed the sub-adults about before. “Be careful not to scald yourselves or others. These foods are yours. Just follow what the snow wolf who helped you add food just now did.”

The adult black wolves nodded. If they were in their own tribe, they would have started eating long ago, but they could not do that now. The adult black wolves looked at Lang Shuo. The chief had instructed them to maintain the tribe’s image.

The black wolf who had just applied medicine to Lang Yan looked as if he wanted to speak but was hesitant, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Lang Shuo saw his thoughts and comforted him. “Your chief is fine. It’s just that eating on your side is too dangerous, so let him eat with us first. After eating, he’ll return to the tribe with you.”

Only then did the other party let out a breath of relief. Like the other black wolf members, he placed his thoughts on the food in the pot.

The adult wolves who heard Lang Shuo’s words were faintly embarrassed. They did indeed move around chaotically when eating. Better let the chief stay with Lang Shuo.

After arranging things once around, when Lang Shuo returned, there were already quite a few meat slices in the pot. The thin meat slices rolled in the rich broth.

Some members at the table did not like spicy food, so the base was non-spicy. Lang Shuo added some chili to his dipping sauce, and it was just as delicious.

Lang Yan’s position was across from him. Considering that the other party had an injured arm and it was inconvenient for him to pick up meat, after the meat in the pot cooked, Lang Shuo first fished out a portion and handed it to him so he could eat directly.

Lang Yu, who witnessed the entire process: “…”

The stove was too small. The distance still was not far enough.

Lang Shuo did not know his brother’s true thoughts, but seeing that he did not speak, he guessed that he might be unhappy. He immediately scooped out a second portion and handed it to his brother.

Seeing his younger brother like this, the little bit of displeasure in Lang Yu’s heart instantly vanished.

What wrong had his younger brother done? He was simply too softhearted. When he saw someone injured, he could not help taking care of them a little. He should not get angry because of this.

Lang Yu quickly persuaded himself and placed the bowl in front of himself before his younger brother. “You eat this.” He had just scooped it out. He had not eaten it yet, and it was just no longer that hot, suitable to eat.

“Thanks, Brother.” Lang Shuo had been busy for half the day and was also somewhat hungry. He lowered his head and began eating.

Opposite him, Lang Yan saw the brothers’ movements and silently withdrew his gaze, tasting a bite of meat.

It tasted good, but eating it, he somehow felt a little uncomfortable.

Maybe he had been hit quite badly by that humming beast. After returning, he should check again. Perhaps there were other injuries, Lang Yan thought.

The sub-adults had started eating the earliest. Even though they could eat more than others, they were the first to become full. After eating, the sub-adults contentedly stopped the fire and sat on the cool mat to rest.

As expected, they had eaten too much again today.

However, the chief and the other members had not finished eating yet, so they could rest a while longer. The sub-adults happily lay on the cool mats.

“Hot pot is so good. Can we eat it again next time?” A sub-adult black wolf rubbed his stomach and asked the member beside him.

“Shuo said if we don’t behave, we won’t eat it again. Today… counts as behaving, right?” At the beginning, they had been a little unable to hold back and had started snatching, but afterward, they had all been obedient!

“Don’t worry. Shuo is the best. There will definitely be more next time.” Lang Yong comforted the other sub-adults. “We just need to be obedient in the future.”

Lang Shuo was different from the chief. Every time they made a mistake, whether the chief punished them on the spot or not, he would remember it for a long time. If they made another mistake next time, the punishment would be doubled. Lang Shuo was different. As long as it was not a big problem, after punishing the mistake on the spot, the matter was over. The punishment for disobedience was eating leafy vegetables. Once the leafy vegetables were eaten, it ended. It generally would not carry over later.

The more the group of sub-adults thought about it, the more they felt Lang Shuo was good. Since Lang Shuo treated them so well, they had to be even more obedient in the future!

Not far away, Lang Yan had originally glanced this way. Seeing the sub-adult black wolves chat more and more happily, he looked at Lang Shuo again.

If someone had told him that the sub-adults’ habit of snatching food could be corrected in two days, he definitely would not have believed it. After all, this was a habit black wolves had developed from childhood. It improved after they grew up, but not much. Only a small number of members could hold back. Sub-adults, who got hungry quickly and had developed limbs, were the hardest to manage.

But Lang Shuo had done it. He had not even used two days. He had only started last night, and by tonight, this group of sub-adults seemed to have changed into different people. If he had not witnessed it himself, he truly would have found it difficult to believe.

At this moment, Lang Yan once again envied Lang Yu.

If Lang Shuo were in their tribe…
