I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 182 Moving

Yue smiled and said, "It's good that you know." As he spoke, he leaned slightly closer to Bai Ling, "Ling, actually I quite like this."

Yue's voice became even softer: "I really enjoy going out hunting because that way I can support you."

Returning with her prey, she presented it to Ling like a treasure, basking in his adoring, loving, passionate, and respectful gaze. At that moment, Yue's feelings were indescribably fulfilling.

Bai Ling's mood had improved, and he said with a smile, "I also really enjoy cooking for Yue, and I like making some novel things too."

Yue raised his head, his silvery-white hair moving behind him. His icy-blue eyes curved into a smile, filled with contentment: "Hmm, this way we complement each other perfectly. I hunt, you cook, you create novel and useful things, and I use them."

"Ling, this is great, so don't feel guilty."

Bai Ling: "Yes, I won't do that again." He squeezed Yue's hand. "We are lovers, and it's only right that we help each other."

The cries of the beastmen rang out; it was time to assemble. Yue said goodbye to Bai Ling, "Ling, I'm leaving."

Even though Bai Ling was reluctant to part with Yue, he could only let go of Yue's hand, watch her transform into her beast form behind a tree, and then watch a group of beastmen leave.

Among a group of orcs, a beautiful white wolf kept turning its head back. Bai Ling kept waving at the white wolf until it disappeared into the distance and could no longer be seen. Only then did Bai Ling lower its hand.

Although he had agreed with Yue that he wouldn't be upset when Yue went out hunting, Bai Ling's mood was naturally not good as he watched Yue disappear into the distance.

He let out a long breath, stood there for a while longer, and then got up to return to his tribe.

He also has many things to do; he wants to work together with Yue to strive for a better future.

Making a millstone wasn't difficult, but it was very time-consuming. These orcs were making millstones with him for the first time, and although they were a bit slow, they didn't make any major mistakes.

Before Bai Ling invented iron tools, the beastmen relied on stone tools for everything from hunting and gathering to daily life. Almost every beastman could make and polish stone tools and had personally crafted many stone tools.

The millstone is also a stone tool, but a relatively large one. After Bai Ling explained the steps and precautions to them, the beastmen quickly got the hang of it.

Whether it's making millstones or doing carpentry, it's essentially a repetitive job. At first, these jobs may seem novel, but over time, they inevitably become tedious and boring.

The orcs were the same; after all, anyone would get bored sitting in one place all day, repeatedly making "knock knock knock," "hammer hammer hammer," "drill drill drill"...

Bai Ling was the same way. If he got bored, he would put down his tools and rest for a while, or stand up and walk around. If the other orcs got bored, they would laugh and joke with each other.

In almost every instance, it was the orcs from the central tribe who spoke, while the orcs from other tribes listened and offered their support.

The reason is quite simple: the orcs left behind in the central tribes were all from caravans. They spent most of the year on the road, and their experiences were far more exciting than those of orcs who had hardly ever traveled far. If you asked them to tell you about the interesting things they had encountered on the road, they could probably talk for three days and three nights without stopping.

These experiences are perfect topics of conversation during breaks from work. In addition, among the orcs of the central tribe who are learning to make stone tools from Bai Ling, there is an orc with excellent speaking skills. He can make even ordinary scenes of fighting wild beasts thrilling, not to mention those more amazing experiences. Sometimes even Bai Ling is mesmerized by what he hears.

For example, there are flowers taller than a person, which are not only edible, but when picked, dried, and roasted in a fire, they release a fragrant aroma along with the smoke; there are animals half the size of orcs that block the way of caravans in groups, but if you give each of them a few fruits, they will make way; there are also orcs who live underground, having dug huge burrows. Because there are so many paths in the burrows, even the orcs living there sometimes get lost, so what started as digging burrows later turned into filling in the caves dug by their ancestors; and then there are orcs who live in the water. Even though they can transform into human form, they only come ashore in winter, spending most of the rest of the time in the water...

These were things Bai Ling had never heard of or seen before, but hearing them spoken by the orcs of the central tribe made it seem as if Bai Ling had experienced them alongside them.

Once they've rested enough, the orcs of the central tribe will stop telling their tale, even if they stop at the most crucial and important point.

The orcs listening in were so anxious they were scratching their heads, but they could only keep working and wait until their next break to listen to the orcs from the central tribe speak.

The kang (heated brick bed) in Bai Ling's house was finished. After the kang was finished, it could be air-dried or heated to dry. Naturally, Bai Ling's family chose to heat it to dry.

Every morning, Bai Ling or Feng would stuff firewood into the kang (heated brick bed) hole, light it, and let it burn slowly. They would stuff more firewood around noon, again before dinner in the evening, and once more before going to bed at night.

In less than three days, the two kang beds in the house were dried out, but we couldn't move in immediately; the kang beds needed to be aired out for a while longer.

Although we can't move in right away, we can start moving our belongings into the house.

With neither his father nor his younger brother home, Bai Ling and his father were mainly responsible for moving. Fortunately, they didn't have too much stuff. If it were like when they moved into a new house in their previous life, with a huge pile of furniture and appliances, he and his father would have had to move it countless times.

Bai Ling transformed into beast form, and Feng put the family's belongings into the baskets on its back. After filling the four baskets, Feng jumped onto its son's back. Bai Ling carried the baskets and ran down the low hill with its father. It wouldn't take long to reach the new house. Then Feng jumped off its son's back, took the baskets off its son, and Bai Ling would find a place to transform into beast form. Then it would tidy up with its father.

The wind carried the important things in baskets, which were then neatly arranged in the storage room. The earthenware pots, bowls, and basins were washed clean, and some were placed in the main room and others in the kitchen.

There's no furniture in the house now, so it looks a bit bare. Bai Ling feels the house is rather empty, but Feng is extremely satisfied.

The spacious and bright house is much better than the mud house we used to live in. As for the emptiness, it's because the house is too big. If the house were still as small as before, and we put all these things in it, it wouldn't feel empty at all.
