How much work does it take to raise an orc cub
First of all, it is sure to solve the food problem.
Under Kamel's condemning gaze, Tantu rushed out almost instantly - accompanied by his good brother Arsen.
What happened was like this—
Su Ce was lying on the bed with the pain after giving birth. Although he insisted on watching and even teasing his children because he loved his children, this didn't make him heal all of a sudden.
So, after a short period of warmth - and barely listening to and memorizing Kamel's instructions, Su Ce finally lay down on the bed again with a pale face.
Although Tan Tu was happy because he had a child, he still put Su Ce first, so his movements that had been numb due to excessive excitement and worry suddenly became flexible, and he himself never Waking up in some kind of silly state.
I have to say that Tan Tu was quite careful. Especially when facing Su Ce.
Soon, Tan Tu went out again and brought a bundle of the softest animal skins hoarded at home, rolled them into a ball, and stuffed them behind Su Ce's back for him to lean on. Get down, grab the basket containing their children, and carefully place it beside Su Ce - a place he can reach as soon as he reaches out.
He knew that his Ah Ce needed this.
Although Tan Tu still wanted to hold Su Ce and communicate with the children as before, but as the head of the family, he had to send the witch doctor away first. He brought the best animal bones as a reward for the witch doctor who successfully delivered his children with excellent skills.
Reigns took it very considerately—there are so many animal bones, the weight is not small.
But all of a sudden, the little animals in the basket let out low whimpering sounds, one after another, piercing people's ears thinly, as if they were going to shake people's hearts.
Tan Tu rushed over and watched the little beast move its four little paws uncomfortably in the basket, with its belly bulging and crying like a cat meowing... He was suddenly stunned.
Su Ce had been looking at them with gentle eyes, but at this moment he also became flustered.
He also has no experience in raising children... What's wrong? Is it bedwetting? Or is it hard because of something
Su Ce hurriedly stretched out his hands, intending to gently push them aside to look at them, but he didn't expect that just as he stretched out his arms, his lower body was hurting... His complexion became even uglier, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.
When Tan Tu saw it, the calmness he had just now was instantly wiped out. The way he wanted to touch Su Ce but didn't dare to touch him was so stupid that it made people discouraged—
Later, Kamel, who was still about to leave, came to them again. After observing the cubs for a while, he said decisively, "They are hungry."
… Aha
Yes, they haven't eaten anything since they were born.
Tantu thought about it, what did the cub eat? Adhering to the good habit of "asking Ah Ce unexpectedly", he instinctively turned his attention to Su Ce.
But Su Ce was in so much pain that his words were broken into several out of tune syllables... When Tan Tu saw it, his heart ached so badly that he forgot about the cubs who were still waiting to be fed.
Kamel's lips were smoothed, and he frowned and reminded Tantu, "Tantu, why don't you catch some female beasts? Cubs can't be hungry!"
Tantu suddenly realized.
Thus, there was a scene of him running out.
The next thing I have to talk about is the issue of animal milk in the orc world.
Just as the appearance of orcs is the same as that of men, apart from the reproductive function of females, they don't have another characteristic of women.
In other words, females among orcs cannot produce milk.
The cubs must feed on animal milk for the first half month after birth, and since the source of animal milk does not come from females, it naturally comes from wild beasts. According to this principle, in fact, the orcs can domesticate some wild animals to breastfeed their cubs. But firstly, orcs seldom have this awareness—they still advocate hunting outside, and find it troublesome to raise them specially; secondly, orcs believe that only the milk of wild beasts can be fed. If the beasts are tamed, then if the cubs eat If you drink the milk produced by this kind of beast, you will lose the wildness that orcs should have, making them not strong enough in the future.
Therefore, every time a new cub is born, the father of the cub will personally go up the mountain to catch the first female beast to feed the cub. It is said that this will allow the cub to inherit the bravery of the father... and after the first one, it will no longer be Strong regulations, the father can ask other males to capture the female beast—preferably a very brave male, so that the cubs can also be infected with this kind of toughness, or the father can still do it alone.
Tantu and Arsen are pretty good brothers, and Arsen, as a male who can be as famous as Tantu in the tribe, is of course qualified to capture female beasts for Tantu's children—you must know that this time Su Ce produced Three cubs, the milk produced by one mother animal, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat.
Therefore, after Kamel reminded, Tan Tu finally went to perform his father's duties.
At the same time, Kamel took out some herbs and applied them to Su Ce, who was gritting his teeth in pain on the bed. This kind of herb probably has a certain degree of anesthesia. Kamel didn't use it for Su Ce to prevent Su Ce from using too much force when he was giving birth, but now that he has given birth Once out, there is no taboo.
After thinking about it, although Tantu hadn't come back yet, Su Ce's brother Yang Han was still there, so Kamel left some herbs for Yang Han, and told him how to use them, and then he and Reigns left.
Even if he stayed, it would only interrupt the joy of reuniting the family with a new life... He had done all he could.
Just like that, Yang Han grabbed a pack of herbal medicine, staring at Su Ce whose frowning gradually became less tangled on the bed, in a daze.
So... leave it all to him
Yang Han was also a little panicked.
After staying for a while, he put the herbs on the table, and sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Su Ce who closed his eyes. He has fallen asleep.
It was the first time that Ah Ce showed such a fragile look...
In the past, no matter how difficult the environment was, Ah Ce always worked with him very seriously, even though he often had to work overtime all night, he didn't see the expression on his face in the slightest.
Many times, he even wondered if this junior really didn't know how tired he was... But one time later, Yang Han suddenly noticed that Ah Ce had lost a lot of weight compared to his graduation photo, only to realize that he had been They are all suffering in silence.
Just because he promised himself to be a part of his own company, he put in so much energy... It was after this that Yang Han became more sincere towards him and regarded him as his biological brother.
But now, no matter how you look at him, he is as thin as a piece of paper, I'm really not used to it...
There was still some sweat on Su Ce's forehead, which was caused by the pain just now. Yang Han looked at it, went out and brought in another bucket of hot water, twisted a cloth similar to a towel, and wiped him awkwardly.
Then he paused, shut the door tightly before Tantu and Arsen came back, and wiped Su Ce's body again... If you don't pay attention, postpartum weakness will make him more likely to get sick.
After all, Yang Han is still a thick-handed and thick-footed man, and he is not careful. Even though he paid his utmost attention while wiping Su Ce's body, it still made Su Ce feel a little uncomfortable.
But maybe it was because of the anesthesia that Su Ce didn't wake up.
After wiping Su Ce's body, Yang Han looked down at the little lion in the basket by the bed.
They are... so cute.
The small paws that have not yet unfolded are wrapped together, and they are a very tender pink, fleshy. Probably because they were tired from crying just now, they no longer moved around as before, but whimpered occasionally in their throats, which sounded very pitiful.
The beast milk hadn't come back yet, Yang Han didn't know what to do, so he could only coax him in his gradually familiar orc language: "Little lion... no, little nephews, don't cry! Dad has already gone hunting Alright, I'll bring you something to eat soon!"
"Oh, don't cry..."
"Hey... little nephew, are you obedient?"
Yang Han is at a loss here, he doesn't know how to coax the child at all!
Finally, after making a lot of determination in his heart, he resolutely stretched out a finger and touched the little paw of one of the cubs.
He vaguely remembered that babies on Earth liked to scratch people's fingers...
However failed.
The little lion was held back and shrunk, and the whole cub huddled together.
The strange breath frightened him...
Yang Han was even more anxious, this trick won't work!
What did the old mothers do? He grabbed his hair and felt that he was going to be as crazy as Tan Tu when Su Ce gave birth!
