Chapter 180 Let's Go!
"If you come back injured, you'll have to go hungry to learn your lesson!" Tu Lin looked at Lin Baiyan, who was blinking his eyes and looking at him slyly, and glared at him fiercely.
This was the best way Rabbit Forest could think of to discipline the cubs. Food was scarce on the Beastman Continent, and most of the cubs immediately became obedient upon hearing that they would go hungry.
However, it didn't seem to have any deterrent effect on Lin Baiyan. As soon as he said this, the surrounding beastmen suppressed their laughter. Tu Lin's eyes darted around the table suspiciously. "Who was laughing just now?"
Lin Baiyan quickly composed herself, looked at Tu Lin seriously, and feigned a look of fear. "I understand!"
Uncle Rabbit is like a child again, getting more and more childlike with age. We should try to coax him a bit.
Tu Lin nodded in satisfaction.
And so it was decided that Lin Baiyan would accompany him on the trip.
Besides Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang, the trading team temporarily organized this time also included Xiong Fei, Bao Lu, Hu Qinghu Ying, and others, totaling fifteen male beastmen and eight sub-beastmen.
Tiger Hill was a little upset. "Boss, why didn't you take me with you?"
"I'm actually pretty good at fighting..." He's even better at fighting than Xiong Fei!
Why don't you take him? He really wants to see it too!
Lang Cang glanced indifferently at Hu Qiu, who was slumped on the table, with his dark eyes. "Don't you know why I won't take you?"
"Have you learned how to draw maps, as taught by the priest? Have you mastered the skill of recognizing symbols?"
"If you get lost, can you guarantee you can find the group by following the markings?"
Lang Cang was unusually talkative, which shows how little he cared about studying at Hu Qiu.
"If you tell me right now that you've learned it all, then I might consider taking you with me."
Lang Cang's three pointed questions immediately made Hu Qiu even more deflated. He raised his head and gave Lang Cang a fawning look, then smiled sheepishly, "I, I didn't mean to, hehe, hehehehe."
He chuckled a few times, unable to find a single word to refute it, but he just couldn't remember those symbols...
"Alright, alright, he won't go, okay?" Huqiu waved his hand. "Then I'll stay in the tribe and keep an eye on the people."
Hey, now that the chieftain and the priest have gone out, he won't have anyone keeping him from studying those maps and symbols!
Wolf Cang saw through his thoughts at a glance and said without any politeness, "Study hard in the tribe. I will have Niu Lie and Yang Ye watch over you. Niu Lie will teach you to draw, and Yang Ye will teach you to calculate and read."
Lang Cang's words were like two mountains hanging over Hu Qiu's head; Niu Lie, with his nagging, motherly nature, would definitely nag him every day.
And then there's Yangye. What male beastman would want to be so embarrassed in front of his favorite sub-beastman? Huqiu would have to study with all his might.
This effectively blocked all the exit routes for Tiger Hill.
"I need to see the results of your studies when I get back, otherwise..."
Tiger Hill let out a mournful howl, as if it had already foreseen its miserable future.
Seeing Huqiu like this, the captains couldn't help but chuckle, especially Yangye. The sub-orc glanced at his dejected male orc partner beside him and smiled rather unkindly, looking quite smug.
To be fair, Tiger Hill's fighting prowess is indeed among the best in the Cangyan Tribe, and his intelligence is not bad either. It's just that he can't sit still. Making him sit in the house and study obediently is no different from killing him.
In this respect, Tiger Hill is similar to Little Wolfwood.
Once the list of trade teams for this trip was finalized, Lin Baiyan announced it within the tribe. As expected, the orcs were very excited. It was the first time for everyone to come to the north, this unfamiliar place. Having stayed in the tribe for so long, they were eager to go out and see other tribes.
Only the dwarf beasts in the corner heard the news but remained unmoved. In their eyes, the Azure Flame Tribe was the best place for them to live. What was so good about the outside world? They wished they could stay in the Azure Flame Tribe forever and never leave.
After the meeting, Lin Baiyan selected several male orcs to go and collect salt. Since Lin Baiyan built salt fields by the sea, the orcs' salt-making speed has greatly increased.
They no longer need to wait so long for the seawater to evaporate. They can simply boil the brine from the salt fields in a pot and get sea salt in no time.
Salt was an essential supply for their trip, and Lin Baiyan told them to take five baskets first. You should know that each of their tribe's bamboo baskets could hold more than a hundred pieces of food. If they took out five or six hundred catties of salt, their Cangyan tribe would definitely be rich!
However, not wanting to flaunt his wealth, Lin Baiyan planned to use the salt in batches. In Lin Baiyan's eyes, exchanging salt for food and animal hides was basically a risk-free business. Only a fool wouldn't do such a profitable deal!
"Maybe we can try to find our clansmen while we're at the trading market this time," Lin Baiyan said suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, as he was packing his animal skin clothes.
Wolf Cang, who was clearing away the tableware, suddenly froze. When he turned around, he saw the sub-beastman's serious little face. "The trading market is well-informed. Maybe your people are looking for you too."
Hearing Lin Baiyan say this, Lang Cang felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his expression softened. "Okay, let's look for it."
Lin Baiyan said solemnly, "It doesn't matter if we can't find it. We can go to the south again. We'll find it eventually."
"Okay, let's look for it together."
He had thought he would be lost in an endless search all by himself, but now it seemed that a silly little kitten was willing to keep him company.
On the day of departure, the carts were packed full. He and Lang Cang had already discussed it beforehand. It was their first time going to the trading market, and they didn't know the ins and outs of it, so they only brought three carts.
However, don't underestimate these three carts. Lin Baiyan and his team replaced the inside of all the wheels of these three carts with iron when they successfully made the iron. Now the carts are very sturdy and durable, and can definitely support their round trip.
Lin Baiyan also sent a cart to the Silver Tiger Clan, but they turned around and brought them three thousand catties of beast meat, leaving Lin Baiyan both amused and exasperated. However, he couldn't refuse to accept it, because the old priest there said that if he didn't accept it, he would never accept anything from Lin Baiyan again!
After checking the luggage on the cart one last time, Lin Baiyan turned to look at the tribespeople who had gathered at the edge of the tribe and said, "Alright, you can all go back now."
"Don't worry about your work, we'll definitely be back in three months!"
Rabbit Forest stood at the front, saying, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect the tribe."
Lin Baiyan nodded, then transformed into a kitten in a flash, nimbly climbing onto the big white wolf's head in a few movements, meowing loudly!
The big white wolf also let out a howl and ran off into the distance.
Let's go!
