Crazy Yan Han

How much effort does it take to raise an orc cub?

 First of all, let’s solve the food problem.

 Under Ka Mai’s condemning gaze, Tan Tu ran out almost instantly – with his good brother Ah Er Sen accompanying him.

 What happened is like this——

 Su Ce was lying on the bed with pain after childbirth. Although he forced himself to look at his children because he loved them and even teased them, this could not make him recover suddenly.

 So, after a brief moment of tenderness – and reluctantly listening to and remembering Ka Mai’s instructions, Su Ce finally lay down on the bed again with a pale face.

 Although Tan Tu was happy about having a child, he still put Su Ce first, so his movements, which had become dull due to excessive excitement and worry, suddenly became more flexible, and he himself never woke up from some kind of stupid state.

 I have to say that Tan Tu is quite attentive.  Especially when facing Su Ce.

 Soon, Tan Tu went out again and brought a bundle of the softest animal skins he had hoarded at home, rolled them into a ball, stuffed them behind Su Ce and let him lean on them, and looked at Su Ce’s expectant eyes. Next, he grabbed the basket containing their children and carefully placed it next to Su Ce – where he could reach it as soon as he stretched out his hand.

 He knew that his Ah Ce needed this.

 Although Tan Tu still wanted to hold Su Ce and communicate with the children as before, as the head of the family, he had to send the invited 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.

 Rui Ensi took it very considerately – so many animal bones, the weight is actually not light.

 However, suddenly, the little beasts in the basket let out low whimpering sounds, one after another, piercing people’s ears thinly, as if they were trying to rip people’s hearts out.

 Tan Tu rushed over and saw the little beast moving its four little paws uncomfortably in the basket, its belly bulging, and crying non-stop like a cat meowing… He was suddenly stunned.

 Su Ce had been looking at them with gentle eyes, but at this time he also became panicked.

 He has no experience in parenting either… What’s wrong? Could it be bedwetting? Or are you feeling sad?

 Su Ce quickly reached out his hand to gently push them aside to take a look, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he stretched out his arm, his lower body was pulled painfully… His face became even more ugly, and he didn’t even have the strength to move his fingers.

 When Tan Tu saw him, the calmness he had just felt instantly disappeared. He wanted to touch Su Ce but didn’t dare to do so. It was so stupid that it was frustrating——

 Later, Ka Mai, who was still preparing to leave, came to them again. After observing the lion cubs for a while, he said decisively  “They are hungry.”

   ……Haaa?

 Yes, they haven’t eaten anything since they were born.

Tan Tu thought about it for a moment, what did cubs eat? Adhering to his good habit of “asking Su Ce about unexpected things”, he instinctively turned his attention to Su Ce.

 But Su Ce was in severe pain, and the words he spoke were broken into a few tuneless syllables… When Tan Tu saw it, he felt so distressed that he immediately forgot about the cubs that were still waiting to be fed.

 The soft curve on Ka Mai’s lips flattened. He frowned and reminded Tan Tu, “Tan Tu, why don’t you go catch some female beasts? The cubs can’t be hungry!”

 Tan Tu suddenly understood.

 Then, there was the scene of him running out.

 The next thing I need to talk about is the issue of animal milk in the world of orcs.

 Just as the appearance of orcs is the same as that of men, except for the reproductive function of females, they do not have other female characteristics.

 In other words, female orcs cannot produce milk.

 In the first half month after birth, cubs must feed on animal milk. Since the source of animal milk does not come from females, it naturally comes from wild beasts. According to this logic, the orcs can actually tame some beasts specifically to breastfeed their cubs. But firstly, the orcs rarely have this awareness – they still advocate hunting outside, and find it troublesome to raise them specially; secondly, the orcs believe that only the milk of wild beasts can be fed. If the wild beasts are tamed, then the cubs that drink the milk produced by this kind of beast will lose the wildness that the orcs should have, resulting in not being strong enough in the future.

 Therefore, every time a new cub is born, the cub’s father will personally go up the mountain to capture the first female beast to feed the cub. It is said that this will allow the cub to inherit the father’s bravery. After the first one, there will be no need for the father to do it himself. No matter how strict the rules are, the father can ask other males to capture the female beast – preferably a very brave male, so that the cubs can be imbued with this bravery, or the father can still do it alone.

 Tan Tu and Ah Er Sen are good brothers. As a male who is as famous as Tan Tu in the tribe, Ah Er Sen is certainly qualified to capture the female beast for Tan Tu’s child. For three cubs, the milk produced by one female animal may not be enough to feed them.

 So, after Ka Mai reminded him, Tan Tu finally went to fulfill his fatherly duties.

 At the same time, Ka Mai took out some more herbs and applied them to Su Ce, who was gritting his teeth in pain in bed. This herb probably brought a certain degree of anesthesia. When giving birth, Ka Mai did not use it on Su Ce in order to prevent Su Ce from not knowing how to exert force because he could not feel the movement of the cub, but now that he has given birth, there are no more taboos.

 After thinking about it, although Tan Tu hadn’t come back yet, Su Ce’s brother Yang Han was still there, so Ka Mai left some herbs and gave them to Yang Han, and then told him how to use them, and then he and Rui Ensi left.

 Even if he stayed, it would only disturb the family’s joy of being with a new life… He has already done his part.

 Just like that, Yang Han grabbed a pack of herbs and stared at Su Ce in a daze on the bed, whose brows were gradually becoming less entangled.

 Now… 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 with his eyes closed. He has fallen asleep.

 This is the first time Ah Ce has shown such a fragile look…

 In the past, no matter how difficult the environment was, Ah Ce always worked with him seriously. Even though he often had to work overtime all night, the expression on his face was not even the slightest bit alarming.

Many times, he even wondered whether this junior really didn’t know how tired he was… But then one time, Yang Han suddenly noticed that Ah Ce was much thinner than he looked in his graduation photo, and then he realized that he had been suffering in silence.

 Just because he promised himself to be a part of his company, he would invest so much energy… It was only after that that Yang Han became more sincere to him and regarded him as his blood brother.

 But now, no matter how you look at him, he looks 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 a bucket of hot water, twisted a piece of cloth similar to a towel, and wiped it with him awkwardly.

 Then he paused, closed the door tightly before Tan Tu and Ah Er Sen came back, and wiped Su Ce’s body again… If he wasn’t careful, his postpartum weakness would make him more susceptible to illness.

 After all, Yang Han was still a rough-handed man, and he was not very careful. Even though he paid as much attention as he could during the process of wiping Su Ce, it still made Su Ce feel a little uncomfortable.

 But perhaps because the anesthesia took effect, Su Ce did not wake up.

 After wiping Su Ce’s body, Yang Han looked down at the little lions in the basket beside the bed.

 They… are so cute.

 The small paws that have not yet been unfolded are wrapped together, and they are a very tender pink color and are chubby. Probably because they were tired from crying just now, they no longer moved as before, but only occasionally whimpered, which sounded very pitiful.

 The beast milk has not come back yet. Yang Han doesn’t know what to do. He can only coax them in the beast language that he is gradually becoming familiar with, “Little lion… No, little nephews, don’t cry! Dad has already gone hunting, and will be back with food for you soon!”

 “Oh, stop crying…”

 “Good… little nephew, will you be obedient?”

 Yang Han is at a loss here. He, he, he doesn’t know how to coax a child at all!

 Finally, I prepared my heart, and then I resolutely stretched out a finger and touched the little paw of one of the cubs.

 He vaguely remembered that babies on earth like to grab people’s fingers…

 However, it failed.

 The little lion shrank when he was held up, and he huddled up.

 The strange smell frightened him…

 Yang Han is even more anxious, this trick won’t work!

 What did mothers do in the past? He scratched his hair and felt that he was going as crazy as Tan Tu when Su Ce gave birth!
