Chapter 386 Playful Time
Lin Baiyan was still holding Little Lynx in his arms when the calico cat pounced on him so hard that he fell backward. Fortunately, there were fluffy fallen leaves behind him, and Sunman caught him in time, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Meow meow—" The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Cat Xia stick out her claws and tightly hook them onto Lin Baiyan's animal skin coat.
Little Three Flower was clearly frightened. After Lin Baiyan regained his footing, she quickly jumped out of his arms and landed on the ground, stepping on her right paw with her left paw, looking at Lin Baiyan with some guilt.
"Meow~" High Priest brother, I was wrong...
Little Sanhua stared pitifully at Lin Baiyan with her big, watery eyes, but dared not approach.
Lin Baiyan looked at the well-behaved cub and sighed deeply. He first comforted the still-shaken lynx in his arms, then put it on the ground and hugged the little calico cub tightly.
Lin Baiyan's slender fingers stroked from the kitten's head down its back, a gentle gesture that greatly eased Xia's anxiety.
Once the kitten relaxed, Lin Baiyan supported her belly with one hand and gently lifted the calico kitten by the scruff of her neck with the other, placing her in front of him. "How many times has the priest brother told you? Be more composed!"
The kitten let out a soft whimper and nuzzled Lin Baiyan's finger with its head in a slightly ingratiating manner.
Lin Baiyan tightened his grip, "If there's a next time, you'll be forbidden from eating snacks for ten days!"
When Little Three Flower heard him say that, it finally quieted down and let out a listless meow.
Lin Baiyan was finally satisfied. He picked up the little calico cat again and stroked its fur as a reward. He unconsciously squeezed the kitten's belly with his hand. "Xia, you've been eating well these days, haven't you?"
There's another layer of fat on his belly, and his body has gotten much bigger; it even looks a bit hairy.
Xia the kitten stiffened at his words, her round cat eyes staring at Lin Baiyan in disbelief.
What did the priest brother say?
She's gained weight...she's gained weight?! She's gained weight! QAQ!
The kitten meowed and leaped off Lin Baiyan's arms with the strength of her hind legs. After landing, she struggled to sit up, lowered her head, and poked her little belly with the tip of her paw. Then she discovered a very sad fact for the cat.
She seems to be really starting to get irritated!
"Meow meow meow!" The little calico suddenly seemed to remember something, one front paw standing between its two hind legs, while the other paw waved rapidly in the air.
I haven't gained weight, I'm just growing!
Lin Baiyan was both amused and exasperated by her unreasonable arguments. He smiled and agreed, "Ah, yes, yes, Xia is right. We should eat more in the future."
Hearing him say that, a hint of satisfaction flashed across the little calico cat's eyes. She sat up straight and meowed seriously, "Good to know!"
The surrounding orcs couldn't help but chuckle as they watched their interaction.
After playing around for a while, everyone scattered and started climbing the trees to pick peaches.
Many hands make light work, but this peach orchard is quite large, and they had only picked about a third of it by noon.
Yang Ye gently placed a basket of ripe peaches onto a cart.
These are all categorized. The fully ripe ones should be eaten first, the ones that can't be eaten can be used to make wine, and the semi-ripe ones are used to make canned goods or dried peaches.
The seeds inside won't be wasted; they can be planted and will eventually grow into mature plants in five or ten years.
Lin Baiyan looked up at the sky. "Let's rest for a bit and have something to eat."
Since it was agreed that today would be a group outing, and the high priest said that everyone would get a share of the peaches, all the participating orcs very tacitly brought some food from their homes. They chipped in a little bit, and it turned out to be quite a sight.
This is when we arrive at the cafeteria's main stage. This time, Quanling didn't come; Huqing came instead.
The current Hu Qing is no longer the greenhorn from the Cangyan tribe who only knew how to exert force. He and several sub-beastmen skillfully set up a large pot, and with their hands moving non-stop, they cut the cured meat brought by the beastmen into wide slices of even thickness.
Because of the abundance and variety of ingredients, we had a big pot stew today. Surprisingly, it tasted delicious with all the food mixed together in one pot.
Especially when freshly made tofu is put into the pot and cooked for a long time, it develops tiny holes that absorb the broth, making it incredibly delicious.
A group of orcs ate around several large pots without looking up. After finishing their lunch, they weren't in a hurry to continue picking peaches. Today was their ten-day break, and they could only relax once every ten days.
A gentle breeze blew through the forest, and the sun shone brightly. The beastmen transformed into their animal forms and basked in the warm sunshine. Lin Baiyan listened contentedly to the birdsong coming from the treetops, feeling rather drowsy.
The elderly people who came with them looked on with amusement at the lions, tigers, foxes, and brown bears huddled together, making it look like a zoo from a distance.
The cubs couldn't stay still. A few of them exchanged glances when the adults weren't looking and were about to sneak away.
Turning their heads, they were met by Wolf Cloud, who was staring at them with a serious expression.
Since joining the training camp, twelve-year-old Lang Yun has grown taller and more imposing. He stared at the little kids in front of him with a sly look, "Where do you think you're going this time?"
The cubs, without exception, all wilted and drawled, "Brother Wolf Cloud, we're not going anywhere..."
"Good to know. Now, you all better behave yourselves out there." Lang Yun raised his hand and gently pointed to the baskets piled up next to the adults. "See those? You all better jump in one by one. When we get back, I'll count everyone. If even one is missing, you'll be in big trouble!"
The cubs looked at each other, and finally succumbed to the wolf cloud's oppressive aura.
Led by Xia the kitten and Miao the fox, all the younger cubs obediently jumped into the basket, while the older ones, like Mu the wolf and Yue the tiger, were forced to stay close to Lang Yun.
Lin Baiyan, who was lying next to the basket basking in the sun, slowly opened one eye, a knowing smile spreading across his lips.
