All The Furry Creatures In The Beast World Are Farming With Me – CH66

Chapter 66

Because she had seen through Lang Yan’s thoughts and also understood Lang Shuo’s position in the Snow Wolf Tribe, afterward, Lang Lan worked hard to memorize what Lang Shuo taught, striving to learn it as soon as possible.

Right now, only part of the Snow Wolf Tribe’s members were here, and the ones nearby were all gentle-tempered female beastmen or sub-beastmen. The few male beastmen present would not come too close to this side, and the strongest patrol team members would not come over even more so. They were still safe. If the hunting party returned and suspected the two siblings of joining hands to abduct Lang Shuo, that would be terrible.

Lang Lan decided to complete today’s learning content before the Snow Wolf Tribe’s hunting party returned, lest she be dragged down by Lang Yan.

Once this thought arose, Lang Lan placed all her attention on Lang Shuo’s words, and her learning speed increased quite a bit.

Lang Shuo was surprised. Sure enough, the sub-adult black wolves and the newly adult black wolves were rather special. Lang Yan and Lang Lan were the normal ones.

However, he also understood the principle of biting off more than one could chew. Therefore, even if Lang Lan learned very quickly, he did not add extra workload for today. In the end, he had Lang Lan reproduce the food he had prepared just now. After the ingredients were placed into the pot, he had the three of them go accompany the cubs.

The cubs would have more time in contact with the black wolf members, so when they went back in a few days, they would not resist too much.

Just as Lang Lan and the other two had their attention on the cubs, a burst of noise came from the mountain.

Lang Lan’s first reaction was that the Snow Wolf Tribe’s hunting party had returned. Immediately afterward, she realized something was wrong. This noise—why did it sound more and more familiar?

Only when she saw the familiar figures did she realize that those running and roughhousing along the way, sometimes even bouncing a few times while howling as they came this way, were none other than the sub-adults.

Lang Lan looked at Lang Yan in disbelief.

Hadn’t he said the place where the sub-adults mined was within their tribe’s territory? How had it become the Snow Wolf Tribe?

The other two black wolf members also discovered the sub-adult black wolves. However, they were already taciturn when they were in the tribe, and now that they were in the Snow Wolf Tribe, they dared say even less.

Meeting Lang Lan’s doubtful gaze, Lang Yan explained, “The coal mine belongs to the Snow Wolf Tribe. They’re cooperating with our tribe. But if too many people know, it will be dangerous. After you return to the tribe, don’t tell anyone else.” On this point, Lang Yan was very reassured. Whether it was the hunting party or Lang Lan and the others, their mouths were very tight. Although their personalities differed, when it came to keeping secrets, there was absolutely no problem. Otherwise, he would not have brought them over.

Lang Lan: “…”

Her brother really was not a good thing.

The Snow Wolf Tribe had delicious food and thought of them. They had convenient things like coal and also thought of them. They even helped them look after cubs and manage sub-adults. For so many things, they only took some food as payment. And how did her brother repay the other party? He actually coveted a member of the Snow Wolf Tribe.

Lang Lan silently moved to the side, farther away from Lang Yan, determined to let the other members of the Snow Wolf Tribe understand that she was herself and Lang Yan was Lang Yan. Even if they were from the same tribe and related by blood, they still could not be lumped together.

Lang Yan: “…”

The things that had happened on the day they cooperated were impossible for him to explain in full. But if he did not say them, even someone as smart as Lang Lan would not think that Lang Shuo wanted to use their tribe as cover for the Snow Wolf Tribe.

Thinking about that day’s experience, Lang Yan looked at Lang Shuo again.

The other party was currently checking the cubs’ bellies one by one.

The cubs were used to eating at fixed times every day. Whenever mealtime arrived, they would hum and cry hunger. However, even though Lang Shuo cared for them very carefully, occasionally, some cubs would still show signs of food accumulation, indigestion, and other reactions.

Cubs did not know hunger or fullness. When they saw food, they would eat. If it was discovered late, the food in the cub’s stomach would pile up more and more, making them very uncomfortable and even possibly endangering their lives. Therefore, before every meal, Lang Shuo had to check once. If there was a problem, it could be discovered in time.

Lang Shuo told this to Lang Lan and the others, telling them to relay it to the members who cared for the cubs after returning to the tribe. “It’s not just cubs. Bigger young wolves also need attention, especially those who like running into water. If they suddenly quiet down, you must pay attention.”

The young wolves were sturdier than the cubs, but precisely because of this, it was often harder to notice problems after they appeared. Even relatively obedient half-grown snow wolves could still feel unwell because of catching cold and other reasons. When young wolves of a few years old felt unwell, they would only become quieter than usual, staying there and not wanting to move. If the adult beastmen in the tribe did not pay attention, it was very easy to overlook them. This kind of situation was very dangerous.

Only by discovering it early could they promptly figure out why the cubs were uncomfortable. If it was delayed too long, even if there was no danger to their lives, some aftereffects might remain.

Hearing this, Lang Lan’s expression became even more serious.

Every year, there were cubs who died from illness. Even if she did not like taking care of cubs, she knew the importance of these words.

Lang Lan not only remembered it herself, but also instructed the two members beside her that they had to remember it clearly and tell the other members in the tribe after returning.

As they spoke here, the sub-adults over there had already finished bathing and returned. They were still gray and dusty, but after several days, everyone had grown used to it.

The sub-adults had no idea that their current appearance was a little terrible. When they ran over to eat and saw Lang Lan, they were somewhat excited. “Lan, you came too?”

“Are you here to learn how to cook?”

“Shuo’s food is the best. Yun’s food is also good, and there’s also…” The master of fairness listed every member who cooked.

“You must learn properly. Our tribe’s food depends on you.”

Lang Lan coldly looked at the chattering sub-adults, and impatience gradually appeared on her face.

This group of sub-adults would not quiet down without being beaten up.

Unfortunately, they were in the Snow Wolf Tribe right now. Ahhh, she really wanted to make a move. Lang Lan viciously memorized every sub-adult who came over to nag.

The voices of the sub-adults who were speaking grew lower and lower. Bad. They had gotten too proud and forgotten that the person in front of them was Lang Lan, not some other member who could listen to them chatter endlessly.

Lang Lan could make a move at any time.

Realizing this, the few sub-adults who had been speaking immediately retreated.

One sub-adult was just about to speak when the surroundings suddenly quieted down. He immediately froze. While hesitating whether to say what he wanted to say, a hand behind him grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

Could not provoke, could not provoke. Hurry and leave.

Lang Yan: “…”

He suddenly felt that Lang Lan’s lack of patience was also quite good. At least it could intimidate the sub-adults.

However, this could only be thought about. He could not really become like Lang Lan. If he wanted to achieve the effect of making the sub-adults avoid him, the other members probably would not dare appear before him either.

Lang Yan chose not to see it.

The sub-adults came over noisily, then quickly left to receive today’s lunch.

Lunch was made by Lang Yun leading others. Her skill was a little worse than Lang Shuo’s, but the sub-adults did not care about this difference. To them, the food made by the two was the difference between very delicious and the most delicious. They liked both very much. After all, they could even eat the food they themselves made.

After being educated by Lang Shuo for two days, the noisy sub-adults were much more disciplined when eating than before. Although they were not as obedient as the cubs, at least all of them sat on their little wooden stools. They no longer moved around as if there were pebbles on the stools, nor did they snatch back and forth with chopsticks. They also no longer lowered their heads and ate regardless of hot or cold, making a mess everywhere.

Lang Yan was still all right. After all, he had seen an even more unbelievable scene. Last night, the sub-adults had been even more disciplined than now. Seeing them like this now, he only once again marveled at Lang Shuo’s educational effect.

Lang Lan, who had never seen this kind of scene, only found it unbelievable. She did not believe sub-adults could be this obedient. They were definitely holding back something bad! They were definitely pretending!

However, until the sub-adults finished eating, the part where Lang Lan thought they would reveal their true colors did not appear. The sub-adults truly finished a meal properly, and after eating, they even hooked arms and went to rinse their mouths and wash their faces.

Lang Lan fell silent, even more unable to believe what she had seen.

Had the sub-adults changed temperament?

Unbelievable.

Lang Lan, still in shock, could not come back to herself for a long time, until Lang Shuo reminded her that the cubs’ food was ready and could be served.

Actually, at the very beginning, the order in which the tribe members ate was that the cubs and the members who cooked ate first, then the other members in the tribe. If the hunting party and gathering team came back early, everyone ate together. If they came back late, they ate last. Of course, the members who cooked were always there, and their food was generally unlimited. If they were not full, they could continue adding more.

This order had changed over these two days into the sub-adults eating first, because the sub-adult black wolves came very early in the morning. They often arrived when the sky was just dimly lit. After eating, they rested for a while and went mining. Before noon, they would be hungry. Lang Shuo simply let them eat first.

Thus, the sub-adults successfully ranked ahead of the cubs. Now that they had all finished eating, the cubs had not yet started.

The cubs’ food was still a bit hot. Lang Shuo brought Lang Lan and the others to serve the food into bowls, then placed the bowls on the platform beside them. He brought them to tidy the cubs’ cradles.

After fixing the cradles, they first removed the cool mats and curtains on top of the cradles together, put away the cubs’ toys, pushed the cubs to one side, took the cubs’ mealtime mats and placed them in, wiped the cubs’ hands and feet before putting them onto the mats, then spread mats on the other half of the space and lined the cubs up.

Knowing they were about to eat, the cubs obediently crouched in place and did not move around. At this time, the food was also ready to eat and was directly placed in front of the cubs.

Lang Lan once again stood frozen in place.

Sub-adults being obedient could still be understood. After all, even if they were usually rowdy, they were still beastmen about to become adults. Lang Lan could still convince herself that, under coercion and temptation, it was not impossible for them to be this disciplined.

But why were the cubs also this obedient? The cubs in their tribe snatched food from childhood until they grew up. The scene during meals was extremely chaotic.

In Lang Lan’s memory, she not only had to beat the cubs younger than her and the cubs born in the same year as her, but also had to beat those older than her. Otherwise, she could only be ranked behind them. Therefore, every time before eating, the nest was chaotic, and after they started eating, it became even more of a mess.

She had been like this as a child, the sub-adults had been like this as children, and the other even smaller young wolves had also been like this before changing into human form.

This tradition had been cut off among this group of cubs.

At this moment, Lang Lan envied the cubs. Why had Lang Shuo not been in their tribe? Why had she not had Lang Shuo when she was young!

Lang Lan resentfully glanced at the cubs in the cradle. She really envied them.

Lang Shuo did not give Lang Lan too much time to think. While the cubs ate, he explained the precautions again. Usually, when taking care of the cubs, he did not feel it, but now that the cubs were about to be sent back, he kept feeling that he had not explained this clearly, had not explained that clearly, and kept worrying that the cubs would suffer grievances when he could not see them.

Fortunately, whether it was Lang Lan or the members who came with Lang Lan, they were all serious and responsible members. Only then did Lang Shuo’s heart relax a little. Besides, Lang Yan was also here. With four people listening, even if someone forgot after going back, the remaining three could supplement it.

Thinking this, Lang Shuo suddenly felt that Lang Yan coming over was not without benefits. He opened his mouth to discuss with Lang Yan. “Why don’t you come over these next few days like today? You can recover from your injury on our tribe’s side.”

The environment on their side should be a little better than the Black Wolf Tribe.

Hearing this, Lang Yan did not answer immediately, seemingly hesitating.

Seeing Lang Yan remain silent, Lang Lan first looked at Lang Shuo and only hated that she was a member of the Black Wolf Tribe and could not expose Lang Yan’s little thoughts in front of him.

Lang Lan wailed inwardly and raised a hand to cover her eyes.

Lang Shuo was just about to ask what was wrong with Lang Lan and whether she was uncomfortable when Lang Yan had already spoken.

Lang Yan said, “All right. I’ll continue coming tomorrow.”

Lang Yan only felt that his mood had never been better than today.

Lang Yan concealed his mood very well, seemingly no different from just now. But Lang Lan was only a little younger than him. Other people might not see his thoughts, but Lang Lan could basically guess seventy to eighty percent of them. Seeing this scene, she only felt her teeth itch and wished she could fight.

Hearing the answer, Lang Shuo was instantly very satisfied. “That’s great. Then you should also listen to the things I tell Lan and the others. After returning, if they forget, remember to remind them.”

Lang Shuo remembered the sub-adults saying before that Lang Yan’s brain was the best in the entire tribe. No matter how long ago something had happened, Lang Yan could remember it clearly. Was this not a living recorder? It had to be used properly.

The smile in Lang Yan’s eyes slowly receded.

Lang Lan: “…”

She did not know why, but her mood suddenly improved.

Serves you right for pretending.

Lang Yan gave Lang Lan a calm glance.

Lang Lan immediately put away her gloating expression.

Talking was talking, laughing was laughing. It would be terrible if Lang Yan discovered it. This guy held grudges very well. Lang Lan did not want to provoke him right now. Here, it was fine. In front of Lang Shuo, no matter what, Lang Yan would not make a move. But after returning to the tribe, no one would stop him.

Lang Lan cherished her life very much.

Lang Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at Lang Shuo. Secretly recording this matter, nothing showed on his face, and he nodded. “All right.”

No hurry. There would be plenty of chances to settle accounts later.

A moment later, Lang Yan successfully comforted himself.

Lang Shuo had already gone to collect the cubs’ tableware, not discovering his mood change at all.

Lang Yan: “…”

Lang Lan followed Lang Shuo and busied herself, quietly glancing at Lang Yan. She kept feeling that his mood seemed even worse than before.

Looking at Lang Shuo, Lang Lan felt she had to help a little. Otherwise, if Lang Yan remained angry and could not do anything to Lang Shuo, would it not still be them who suffered after returning to the tribe?

Thinking this, Lang Lan snatched the tableware from Lang Shuo’s hands and said, “Shuo, we’ll clean these up. Can you help prepare some medicine? My brother’s arm injury is pretty serious.”

Lang Yan looked at Lang Lan as she spoke. After hesitating for a moment, he did not refute it.

Lang Shuo did not see the eye contact between the siblings. He turned back to look at Lang Yan’s arm. The ointment applied yesterday had already dried, and it indeed looked like it should be changed. He asked, “What time were you injured yesterday?”

If it had not been a full day, he would prepare anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine. If it had been a full day, he would add some medicine for promoting blood circulation and dispersing bruises.

This question was originally nothing, but Lang Yan hesitated.

The time of injury had been noon, but yesterday, he had come to the Snow Wolf Tribe in the evening.

In the end, Lang Yan chose to tell the truth. “Yesterday noon.”

Beastmen who often moved between the two tribes would definitely suspect the timing, but Lang Shuo did not. He was not clear about Lang Yan’s hunting location and guessed that yesterday, he might have caught prey on the other side of the Black Wolf Tribe’s territory. Added to the delay caused by Lang Yan’s injury, his arrival time had been relatively late.

Lang Shuo, who had automatically found a reasonable explanation, did not ask more. After all, normal people would not drag things out outside while injured. He only instructed, “Next time you’re injured, come over as soon as possible. Applying medicine earlier gives better results.” If medicine had been applied in time yesterday, it would not have swollen this badly.

Lang Yan agreed very quickly this time. “Mm, I know.”

Lang Lan thought of the time Lang Qi and the others had returned to the tribe yesterday and could not help glancing at Lang Yan again.

Lang Shuo changed Lang Yan’s medicine, instructed him to pay attention, then finally prepared another dose of medicine, ground it, and placed it into a bamboo tube. “After you go back, if you bathe, remember to apply it again.”

When wolves bathed, they all jumped directly into the water. Even if they wanted to avoid it, part of the medicine would be washed away. Lang Shuo felt that rather than instructing the other party to be careful while bathing, it would be better to simply give more medicine and have him apply it again.

“All right. Thank you.” Lang Yan did not refuse and accepted the bamboo tube.

Lang Shuo waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite. “All right. There are no outsiders. Go eat first.”

The other members had already started eating. They had been taking care of the cubs just now and had eaten some food in the morning, so they were not too hungry right now. It was just that if they did not go now, the food would be eaten clean. Even if some had been set aside in advance, it would not taste as good once it cooled.

“Eat, eat.” Lang Lan thought of the food she had eaten in the morning, then thought of the cubs’ food she had smelled just now. She instantly could not be bothered to guess whether Lang Yan was happy or unhappy right now.

Who cared? Eating was more important. If Lang Yan tried to fight her after returning to the tribe, she would show the wound to Lang Shuo and see whether Lang Yan still dared.

Thinking this, Lang Lan suddenly realized this was a good method. She could even say her thoughts before Lang Yan made a move.

Lang Yan definitely did not want to leave a bad impression in Lang Shuo’s heart!

Having successfully found a handle to restrain Lang Yan, Lang Lan suddenly felt everything she looked at was pleasing to the eye. Even when she saw the sub-adults lying all over the place, she did not want to kick them anymore.

Lang Shuo had originally thought Lang Lan and the others would stay here for a while longer and return with the sub-adult black wolves at night. Unexpectedly, not long after finishing lunch, Lang Yan said they were going back.

“So early?” Lang Shuo was a little surprised. “You’re not waiting until tonight?”

Hearing the almost imperceptible disappointment in his tone, Lang Yan’s heart suddenly softened, but he still shook his head. “We won’t wait. There are matters in the tribe.”

The hunting party’s return time was not fixed. If they stayed any longer, they might run into the Snow Wolf Tribe’s hunting party.

Hearing this, Lang Shuo knew there was no way to adjust the time and sighed. “All right then.”

Seeing that he seemed very disappointed, Lang Yan hesitated over whether to speak.

Before he could say anything, Lang Shuo had already looked at Lang Lan. “Then I’ll teach you the methods for making fish balls and meatballs tomorrow.”

Lang Yan: “…”

The reluctance and disappointment were not for him. They were all for the cubs. Right now, in Lang Shuo’s eyes, Lang Lan was more important than him.

In an instant, the hesitation, wavering, and heartache from just now all vanished like smoke.

Expressionless, Lang Yan watched Lang Shuo instruct Lang Lan. “After you go back, you can try making these dishes tonight. If the taste is off, come tell me tomorrow. The sooner problems are found, the sooner they can be solved.”

Lang Lan agreed. In truth, even if Lang Shuo did not say it, she would make all these dishes again after going back. Whether it was for review or not was another matter. In the Snow Wolf Tribe, she had not been too embarrassed to eat too much. After going back, she absolutely had to eat her fill.

Lang Shuo also spoke to the other two members. One of them was good at cutting vegetables, and the other was good at stir-frying. Lang Shuo repeated the points to pay attention to, then recalled for a moment. After confirming no information had been missed, he finally said, “I won’t delay you anymore. Go back early.”

Because Lang Lan and the others were returning earlier than he had expected, Lang Shuo could only quickly finish saying the few matters he had originally planned to say in the afternoon. After saying so much without stopping, Lang Shuo went to find his water cup after saying goodbye. In any case, their relationship with the Black Wolf Tribe was so good, and the leader, Lang Yan, had come so many times. He did not need to see them off for the other party to know how to leave, so Lang Shuo did not stand on ceremony.

Lang Yan, who did not receive another word throughout the entire process: “…”

He was not disappointed.

…

Naturally, Lang Shuo did not know that someone’s mood had repeatedly changed several rounds because of a few words from him. After the few people left, he sat down and teased the cubs for a while.

The black wolf cubs had changed greatly compared with when they had first arrived. Lang Shuo picked up one that was sleeping soundly. He did not know whether it was his imagination, but he kept feeling that recently, a few cubs were sleeping longer than the other cubs.

Picking it up and weighing it, Lang Shuo felt something was a little off. He rubbed the cub that had woken up and was hugging his hand, refusing to let go. “Did you get fatter again?”

“Awoo~” The cub awooed and hugged his other hand, opening its mouth to bite down.

“Hands can’t be eaten.” Lang Shuo poked the cub’s head, placed the cub back, then picked up another one and weighed it. After repeating this several times, he picked up the first one again.

Next, Lang Shuo weighed all the cubs once, then divided the cubs into two groups according to weight. He carried out the heavier cubs separately, placed them in a new basket, then placed it on his lap and hugged them one by one.

The cubs only thought Lang Shuo was playing with them and called out chaotically, awooing and occasionally barking twice.

However, this time, Lang Shuo did not play with them. He placed the basket containing several cubs to the side, then went to look at the snow wolf cubs. As before, he weighed each cub, then separated out the heavier ones.

The cubs who did not receive a response grew much quieter, lying in the basket and continuing to sleep.

After separating them, Lang Shuo carried the two baskets to the place where food was processed.

The processed jerky and dried fruit were too delicious and also extremely convenient. Added to the fact that they could be stored for a long time, the tribe had never stopped processing them. Jerky was delicious, and when it came out of the pot, the fragrance was strongest. The hot steam carried a rich aroma. It was still fine right after eating, but after a while, once some of the food in the stomach digested, people could not help looking this way.

In order to reduce the effect of food on the other members, the food processing area had been moved to the outermost area. Members working in other areas could not smell it. Only when they walked over here would they be affected.

Lang Shuo walked very slowly, observing the cubs’ changes the entire time.

The cubs who had been sleeping in the basket because Lang Shuo would not play with them smelled the rich fragrance and suddenly opened their eyes, then looked around.

Several cubs directly climbed up and clung to the edge of the basket, looking outside. After a moment, they raised their heads to look at Lang Shuo, awooed a few times, then returned to the basket.

Lang Shuo circled nearby once, then carried the baskets back. He had Lang Yun watch these two groups of cubs, took out a new basket, and casually grabbed several cubs who were playing in the cradle and placed them inside.

“Awoo?” Suddenly being moved to another basket, the cubs were very confused.

Lang Shuo brought them to the place where jerky was being steamed too.

The cubs who had not eaten long ago had little interest in jerky. They hummed twice, and seeing that Lang Shuo did not give it to them, they returned to the basket to roughhouse.

Lang Shuo: “…”

He had thought those few were just sleeping more. So it turned out they had fainted from hunger.
