Chapter 56 Inspection
Lang Cang certainly remembered that. He frowned. "I know that thing. It doesn't taste good. It's very fishy."
Lin Baiyan looked at him disapprovingly, "That's not fishy. You can't be picky about food. Seaweed is very nutritious!"
He looked at Lang Cang as if he were looking at a picky little cub who didn't like to eat.
Seeing Lin Baiyan's expression, Lang Cang changed his tune, "It wasn't me who said it, it's that kid Huqiu doesn't like it!"
Without batting an eye, he shifted the blame onto Huqiu.
Lin Baiyan wiped the tip of his nose with his hand. Huqiu's slurping appetite didn't seem like that of a picky eater. "Seaweed is very nutritious. People don't eat enough kinds of plants."
Lin Baiyan was quite troubled by the existing types of vegetables.
Lang Cang said calmly, "It's nothing. Everyone goes through this, and there haven't been any problems."
Lin Baiyan immediately wanted to refute him, saying that there was no problem at all, but there was clearly a huge problem!
Most of the orcs in the tribe had cracked hands and feet, and were extremely dry. They didn't even have lunulae on their fingernails, but they thought it was normal because everyone was like that.
Lin Baiyan curled his lip, because they had never seen what a normal person on Blue Star looked like.
It can only be said that there is no harm without comparison.
I'm done talking to him!
Lin Baiyan secretly thought to himself, "Cricket Wolf."
Seeing his expression, Lang Cang's attitude instantly became serious. "I understand. I'll bring back more."
After agreeing on the salt-collecting plan, Lang Cang left Hu Qiu and Niu Lie, two orcs, behind to lead half of the hunting team to continue digging the cave, while he, along with Xiong Fei, the big-breasted Zhu Shan, and Bao Lu, led the remaining male orcs to the seaside.
Lin Baiyan watched the hunting team's departing figures. The white giant wolf at the head of the pack was particularly eye-catching. Perhaps due to the recent food supply, the wolf's beast form appeared even larger.
He worriedly thought that they must come back before the snow fell. He had never seen snow in the snowy season before, and the snowy terrain was difficult and dangerous to traverse. After spending the past few days with them, he realized that every member of the tribe was very important to him, and he did not want any of them to have an accident.
After seeing them off, Lin Baiyan returned to the cave and went to Ma Yuan's haystack.
Ma Yuan was using a sharp stone to split bamboo. Even though he couldn't move these past few days, he hadn't been idle. He learned the technique of splitting bamboo strips from Hu Jiang and started supplying them with raw materials. The tribe had been weaving baskets these past few days and needed a lot of bamboo strips.
He had already felt nothing when he was first bandaged up, and he was planning to get right back to work. Everyone else was busy preparing for the snow season, but he was sitting alone in the cave, feeling very uneasy.
As Shu Yue helped him to the cave entrance, Lin Baiyan, who had just returned, saw them and quickly called out, "Why are you out here?"
Unaware of what was happening, Ma Yuan smiled and said to him, "Priest, I'll go and help everyone dig a cave."
The male beastmen were mostly with Lu Xiao's construction team, and a few were cutting bamboo. Lin Baiyan frowned, "Nonsense, your leg hasn't healed yet, how can you go out and move around like that?"
"I don't feel anything anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore..." Ma Yuan looked at Lin Baiyan blankly.
In the minds of the beastmen, as long as the wound no longer hurts, it means there is no problem. Moreover, he did not have any visible wounds on his skin.
Lin Baiyan quickly pointed to the cave, "Shuyue, hurry up and help him back to sit down!"
After Ma Yuan was laid down on his own hay, Lin Baiyan squatted down and carefully examined the splint on his leg. Seeing that the splint had not shifted, the young man reached out and touched the bone at the broken point. He felt nothing unusual and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Baiyan looked at Ma Yuan seriously and emphasized, "Your leg is broken! It's not a minor injury!"
"Even if you don't feel pain on the surface, the bones inside haven't healed properly. If it shifts a second time, I can't guarantee it will heal completely."
Ma Yuan was startled by the young man's solemn words and said tremblingly, "I won't move, I won't move..."
He was terrified that he would become a useless person in the future.
Lin Baiyan nodded in satisfaction when she saw that he had indeed taken her words to heart.
"High Priest, when will Ma Yuan's leg recover?"
As the saying goes, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone," Lin Baiyan thought for a moment and said, "I estimate it will take at least seven or ten days..."
"The snow season is almost over, I can't just stay idle forever!" Ma Yuan said anxiously.
That won't do! Rat Moon has already agreed to be his partner, and they might have cubs born this snowy season. If he doesn't work, how will he support his partner and cubs?
Seeing how anxious he was, Shuyue whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, I will work hard in the gathering team and we can support ourselves."
Lin Baiyan pondered for a moment, "Then you can go with Hu Jiang and the others to weave baskets. You can do that by sitting down."
Seeing Ma Yuan's state, he knew he wouldn't be at ease unless he found something for him to do. Having a job would be good, at least it would keep him from overthinking.
So Ma Yuan began his basket weaving work.
Seeing Lin Baiyan approach, Ma Yuan continued working on his hands, smiling as he greeted the young man, "Priest, you've arrived."
Lin Baiyan nodded. "Let me examine your leg."
Ma Yuan was very honest. After Lin Baiyan told him not to move, he really sat there every day.
After Lin Baiyan finished his examination, he nodded in satisfaction. The orcs' healing ability was beyond his imagination. In just over ten days, the bones of the horse seemed to have healed completely.
Ma Yuan carefully observed Lin Baiyan's complexion. "Priest, how is my leg recovering?"
Lin Baiyan relaxed and said with a smile, "The recovery is going very well. I estimate it will be fully recovered in four or five ten-day periods."
Ma Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. He gratefully said to Lin Baiyan, "Thank you, Priest. If it weren't for you, I would be a useless orc..."
Male orcs who cannot hunt have essentially lost their survival skills.
Lin Baiyan waved his hand, "It's nothing, just take good care of yourself."
Ma Yuan nodded quickly.
After checking on Ma Yuan's recovery, the young man came out of the cave and saw several orc cubs transformed into their animal forms, pouncing and fighting with each other, looking very energetic.
Now that it's snow season, the orcs' fur has become a warm garment. Unless they have to transform into human form, the younger cubs mostly remain in their beast forms, and Wolf Cloud leads them in practicing fighting techniques.
These things are cultivated from a young age to keep the male beastmen bloodthirsty.
Although they can transform into human form, they cannot forget the innate fighting power that flows in their bones.
The half-grown cubs have already started to work on their own, following the collection or construction teams.
Now it's Wolf Cloud leading the cubs.
At this moment, Wolf Cloud is outnumbered by several cubs, led by Wolfwood and Tiger Leap, who are "besieging" Wolf Cloud.
Even when outnumbered, Wolf Cloud remained quite relaxed, toying with the cubs. He truly lived up to his reputation as the leader of the young cubs.
Wolfwood and Tiger Leap were not discouraged. They bared their little teeth and charged forward again!
