Chapter 423 Many People, Many Things
And so, everyone gradually settled down in the tribe.
The Eastern Tribe now consists of eight tribes: the small beastmen who originally lived in the cave, led by Yu; the wolf tribe, led by Yong; the beaver tribe, led by Jiang; the elephant tribe, led by Daman; the lion tribe, led by Lie; the hyena tribe, led by Mao; the bear tribe, led by Zhuang; and the jackal tribe, led by Mu.
Ruan Mianmian allowed the original leaders of these tribes to become tribal chiefs, each governing their own territory. She, however, was responsible for leading all the tribes.
As time went on, the tribe continued to grow and its population increased daily, with a significant increase in the proportion of females.
To everyone's delight, many female orcs successfully conceived this winter. It is foreseeable that by next spring, many adorable baby orcs will be born, bringing new life and vitality to the entire tribe.
This autumn, the farmland in the valley welcomed a grand harvest feast. The land planted with potatoes and other crops was covered with heavy fruits, and the tribe celebrated a bumper harvest.
The various fruit trees that the tribe members transplant from outside from time to time are also full of flowers and abundant fruit.
This means that the tribe currently has sufficient food reserves to meet everyone's needs for a period of time.
It is particularly worth mentioning that a large stockpile of meat obtained from previous hunts, after being dried and processed into jerky, remains. This ensures that the tribe's members have no worries about food, whether it's fresh vegetables and fruits or easily preserved jerky.
Looking back to last year, when the female beastmen were six months pregnant, Ruan Mianmian had already provided them with a lot of care and convenience.
This year, she has been even more meticulous and thoughtful, preparing appropriate foods for different ethnic groups to help these expectant mothers supplement their nutrition.
This care filled the females with gratitude towards the Eastern tribe, and the happy smiles on their faces whenever they received supplies from the chief were the best proof of this.
While distributing supplies, Daman and Miyue spared no effort in promoting the welfare of their tribe, and told them that after giving birth, the chief would give them medicine to help them recover, which couldn't be better.
At this moment, one of the female jackals couldn't help but ask, "Will the leader really give us medicine to help us recover? My sister suddenly bled to death after giving birth to her cubs, and I'm very afraid of ending up like her during my pregnancy."
Upon hearing this, Miyue confidently told her, "Didn't you see that the Lion Clan's Lie came to the tribe to recuperate from his injuries before? Our leader is incredibly great and amazing. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll give birth to your cub safely."
The other pregnant females secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Miyue say that. In their previous tribe, several females who gave birth would die every year. It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid.
Now that's good, they've also vaguely sensed the difference in their leader, and with this guarantee, they're even more loyal to the tribe and their leader.
Didn't you see them returning and endlessly instructing their males to be loyal to the tribe and obey the chief's every command, simply because they feared that their males' misconduct would implicate them and lead to their expulsion from the tribe?
Time passed slowly and leisurely. Due to the harsh winter weather, the beastmen were confined to the caves and could not go out to run freely. They could only have a very short time each day to go outside for some fresh air and to relieve themselves.
The two cubs that Ruan Mianmian and Sen had conceived were constantly running around the tribe's territory, and now that they were trapped in this cave, they were bored out of their minds.
Since their birth, their father had led them around every day to explore the world. But now, the two little beasts could only flutter and fly aimlessly inside the cave, their boredom indescribable.
As the number of orcs gradually increased, various affairs naturally became more and more complicated, and the number of cubs also increased day by day.
毕竟兽人骨子里天生就流淌着喜好争斗的基因，所以今日你家的崽子揍了我家的一顿，明日他家的又跟你家的干起架来，整个场面可谓是混乱不堪、鸡飞狗跳。
Ruan Mianmian realized that this wouldn't work, so she discussed with Yong and the others about giving these little brats a lesson.
The orcs were also hearing the word "class" for the first time, and they were a little confused, not knowing what kind of class it was.
Ruan Mianmian looked at this group of "illiterate" people, holding her forehead, not knowing how to explain it to them.
"You see, there are too many young beastmen in the tribe now. Could each tribe send out a strong orc to teach them some skills, such as how to hunt or the habits of various prey?"
After hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, the orcs all showed expressions of sudden realization. After the various tribes returned and discussed the matter, they selected the orcs most suitable for teaching.
Soon, the cubs' lessons began. On the first day, the cubs sat together curiously. The warrior from the wolf clan began by explaining hunting techniques, vividly imitating the movements of the prey. The cubs listened with wide eyes, completely absorbed.
But trouble soon followed. The beaver cubs and hyena cubs started fighting over a spot at the front.
Daman quickly went over to stop them, and she sternly told the kids that if they fought again, they would be disqualified from attending class. The kids immediately behaved themselves.
In the days that followed, although there were still occasional minor frictions, the kids learned a lot overall.
They became more polite, learned to share food with each other, and became more familiar with the area around the tribe.
Watching the little ones grow little by little, Ruan Mianmian smiled with satisfaction. She knew that this tribe would become more and more prosperous, and the little ones were the hope for the tribe's future.
