Chapter 45: Preparing to Build a Hothouse
There was a layer of barbs on the tiger’s tongue. With this lick, Tang Guo immediately felt pricks in her ears, followed by a dense numbness.
Coupled with the fact that his warm breath was on the side of her ear, she couldn’t help but go limp. Fortunately, her rationality was intact. She knew that something was wrong here, and she bit her lip hard to prevent herself from moaning.
Then she gave him a fierce look. “Behave yourself!” she warned.
“Put me down!”
Bai Ye didn’t really want to do anything to her. After all, this wasn’t the right time or place. He just couldn’t bear to see her take such special care of Jiu Chen.
Seeing that she was about to explode, he quickly put her down obediently.
When he saw that she had really gone to help Ah Shan and the others with their wrists and check their bodies, he revealed a satisfied expression. It was good that she was not taking special care of Jiu Chen!
After Tang Guo finished checking, she stopped and said to the females who were taking care of them, “As long as they don’t have a fever tonight, they’ll be fine.”
“Pay special attention to Jiu Chen. Call me whenever he wakes up.”
After all, the injury was in his head. She wasn’t sure if there would be any repercussions inside his brain after the surface wound was repaired.
What if he became stupid or lost his memory?
She had not treated any related cases in her previous life, so she could not be sure. It was best if she could intervene and check in time when he woke up. If there was really a sequela, she could try to see if she could completely cure it.
But to Bai Ye, this was her special care for Jiu Chen.
Huh, did she really think differently of him?
Bai Ye was afraid that she would explode again, so he didn’t say anything. He just scowled and led Tang Guo out.
Tang Guo saw his expression and was very amused, but she still explained to him, “Jiu Chen’s injuries are on his head. The injuries here are very important. If things go wrong, he might really not wake up today.”
“And even if he does wake up, if something goes wrong in his head, he’ll never be the tribal warrior he was.”
“By then, the tribe will have lost more than one warrior. It will add a burden.”
Bai Ye naturally understood these principles, but he just couldn’t stand the way Tang Guo took special care of Jiu Chen.
Of course, as the leader of a tribe, he knew how to look at the big picture.
Hence, he immediately nodded and stroked Tang Guo’s hair as she said, “I understand. You’ve been busy for so long. You must be tired, right? Go back and rest first.”
Tang Guo was indeed very tired, but the sun was still bright. It was still too early to go to bed at night. If she went back to the cave to sleep now and couldn’t sleep at night after sleeping, she would definitely be pulled along by Bai Ye to mate.
Thinking of the endless energy that the tiger seemed to have, she instantly felt her legs go weak. She felt ashamed that something was spilling out between her legs.
One of the little people in her heart waved her fist fiercely and went to hit another little person. She warned loudly, “It’s more important to do something serious. Stop being perverted!”
Tang Guo exhaled and suppressed the desire that Bai Ye had aroused. Then she walked out. She was going to build a house.
Bai Ye knew what she was going to do. He saw that she was followed by Milo and a few other female males. Those people had seen how powerful Tang Guo was. They had killed stray orcs together in the Endless Forest. It was as if they had imperceptibly cultivated a tacit understanding.
Bai Ye was relieved to have these people with her.
Hence, he left quickly. This time, his men were injured from hunting. Things were very strange. He had to investigate.
It was too late to build the house today, so Tang Guo asked everyone to work together and move the already dry bricks to the spot she had chosen, which was a big empty space she wanted to use to build the house.
She counted all the mud bricks and noted the number. There were thirty-eight hundred of them. She had put in very large bricks, so there was enough for her to build a two-bedroom, including a heated brick bed and walls.
If it was really not enough in the end, she would have to build a room first and arrange for the kiln and the warm wall. It would not be too late to build the other room that could be used as a living room after the winter.
With so many orcs helping, and with Pebble leading the way, the cubs of the tribe came to help. In fact, Tang Guo knew that they were greedy for her food.
She smiled but didn’t say anything. Seeing that it was still early, she began to teach them how to build the foundation. In fact, she just flattened the ground plan and then used the mud that she had used to put the bricks in. She began to pile them up one by one.
The house built that way was strong and not easily collapsed.
It had to be said that the orcs were really smart. Basically, with her teaching, they had instantly nurtured a group of excellent masons. They felt very fresh and motivated. They all started to build bricks without stopping.
Tang Guo was very gratified to see this. At this rate, it seemed that she would be able to live in a new house in less than two days!
Then, she waved at Pebble. “Do you want to eat the delicious food I made?”
