Chapter 327 Where are the people?
In the planting area, each of the beastmen held a sickle, cut the wheat, and then put it aside.
An orc tied the wheat together with straw rope, loaded it onto a cart, and pulled it back to the city. Once in the city, orcs were waiting there to thresh the wheat and then dry it in the sun. After drying, the wheat was stored in the warehouse.
Hu Kuo and Hu Xia each carried a stool and sat in the pavilion next to the planting area, watching with smiles as the tribespeople were busy in the fields not far away.
"These days are really good!" Hu Kuo said, leaning on his cane, his eyes full of smiles.
Fox Xia also sighed, "Yes, everyone is happy to see that they can eat their fill and stay warm."
Although the people of the tribe are busy from dawn till dusk every day, the smiles on their faces are genuine, and everyone is very satisfied with their current life.
Within the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, as long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death!
Fox Zhen was busy cutting wheat when suddenly, an orc from the patrol team ran over excitedly, "Elder! Elder!"
"Go and take a look!"
Hu Zhen straightened up. "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
The orc's joy was obvious. "It's the city lord! The city lord has returned with the high priest!"
Upon hearing this, all the surrounding orcs straightened up abruptly, staring intently at the male orc.
Fox Zhen and Rabbit Forest put down their work and quickly walked out of the field. Rabbit Forest grabbed his clothes and said, "Really, did you see clearly? It's the city lord and the high priest?"
The male orc nodded repeatedly, "It's the city lord and his men!"
Upon hearing the affirmative words again, everyone's faces immediately lit up with smiles.
“However…” the orc hesitated.
Tu Lin asked somewhat impatiently, "But what? Say something!"
"However, besides our people, there seem to be other people, quite a lot of them."
They only sent out five hundred orcs from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, but at a glance, at least seven or eight hundred returned with them.
Tu Lin frowned and pondered for a moment, "So many people..." Are they friend or foe?
Seeing that the beastmen had stopped what they were doing, Hu Kuo and Hu Xia felt a little strange. They exchanged a glance and walked towards the edge of the field.
As soon as they got closer, they heard their conversation. Hu Kuo tapped the ground with his cane and said, "The high priest and the others should be bringing their guests back by now. We need to hurry back to the city and make preparations!"
Hearing his words, everyone looked blank. "Huh?"
Fox Xia tapped Fox Zhen on the forehead, "You usually seem pretty clever, why are you acting silly like this?"
"If they were enemies, would the High Priest really align himself with them?"
Hu Zhen rubbed his forehead, which was red from being knocked, and felt like he was being wronged to death. He clearly hadn't said anything!
He's an elder of the city now, how could they knock him out in front of so many people?
Doesn't he have any pride?
The two old priests, Hu Kuo and Hu Xia, led their people back to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts in a hurry.
The warriors who had gone out entered the territory of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. The kitten stood upright on the head of the big white wolf, tilting its little head and looking out. "Meow?"
Why is there no one?
Where have all the people gone?
The kitten jumped down from the white wolf's head, transformed into human form, and said to the docile, itachi, and others beside it, "Everyone, wait a moment, I'll go check ahead."
The docile girl nodded with a smile, while Xun Su looked at the boundless plain with some curiosity.
Is this Bai Yan's home? It looks so beautiful.
He linked arms with Xiong Zhi, and the two sub-beastmen were whispering to each other, their conversation unreadable.
Itachi didn't reply. He had lost a lot of weight these days, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his eyes were looking away aimlessly.
Seeing his younger brother like this, Itachi Tamaki felt a pang of heartache in his eyes, then forced a smile, "Go, High Priest."
Lin Baiyan nodded, and the big white wolf looked at him and howled, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Lin Baiyan shook his head. Now that they were on his own territory, there was no need to be so cautious.
Lang Cang had no choice but to agree.
He walked closer to the planting area and took a closer look.
Huh?
There's still half-harvested wheat on the ground!
Lin Baiyan's two round cat eyes lit up instantly when he saw the ripe wheat.
Fried buns with braised noodles!
Pie, flatbread, steamed bun, pancake!
These are all delicious!
He waited so long, and finally the wheat ripened!
Lin Baiyan looked at the sickle casually placed aside and the rather messy wheat beside it, and a look of heartache appeared in his eyes.
He instinctively walked closer and picked it up, then expertly bent down and began cutting wheat.
After waiting for a long time without seeing his mate return, the white wolf transformed into human form and said to the group behind him, "Wait here for a moment."
"Yes!" Although they were already close to home, as long as Lang Cang did not say they were to be disbanded, they would still be soldiers in the army. The beastmen responded in unison.
"I'll go check on Bai Yan," Lang Cang told Xiong Zhan.
When Lang Cang went over, he saw his little companion busy harvesting wheat.
Wolf Cang: "..."
He watched with amusement as Lin Baiyan enthusiastically wielded his sickle and began cutting. He wondered why he hadn't seen him for so long; it turned out he was here.
Wolf Cang approached, "Bai Yan, shouldn't we return to the city first?"
Lin Baiyan didn't hear what Lang Cang said at all. He was completely focused on the wheat and was immersed in the joy of eating the delicious food. Heaven knows how long he had been craving this!
"White Flame, White Flame!" Lang Cang approached his little companion and raised his voice.
Lin Baiyan suddenly looked up and met Lang Cang's slightly helpless expression.
He snapped back to his senses, looked somewhat awkwardly at the small handful of wheat in his hand, and then looked up at Lang Cang.
Lin Baiyan: QAQ
He gave an awkward laugh, struggling to salvage the situation, and said, "Would you believe me if I said I'm the son of a farmer?"
Upon seeing grain, he instinctively went to collect it, and the farmers all praised him as a good child!
Lang Cang was amused by him. He leaned closer to his little companion and then reached out his big hand to pinch off the stubble stuck to his head. "Look at you, busy as you are."
Lin Baiyan chuckled, put down the scythe in his hand, and pushed Lang Cang to start walking out. "Quickly, let's hurry back to the city and see what's going on."
"And the patrol team, with so many of us coming back, why didn't they even make a sound?" Lin Baiyan muttered to himself.
Wolf Cang's deep blue eyes gradually darkened. "It seems it's time to find some time to teach them a lesson."
If it were wartime, wouldn't they be sound asleep at home even when the enemy was already at their doorstep?
"Don't be so fierce, maybe something's wrong with them?" Lin Baiyan patted Lang Cang on the shoulder.
