I've been transported to the orc continent.

Sugar is precious, but Bai Ling still brought all the sugar in the house. He believed that his father and grandfather would support him in doing so.

Bai Ling handed the candy to the orc who was helping in the cave: "If he gets hungry, give him a piece. Don't keep it in your mouth, chew it up and swallow it. You can't have anything in your mouth at times like this, or you might choke."

Although they didn't know what suffocation was, the orcs still carefully wrote down what Bai Ling said and then relayed it word for word to everyone in the cave.

After handing in the candy, a male orc in his thirties walked up to Bai Ling and bowed deeply to her, saying, "Ling, thank you."

Bai Ling was unaware of what had happened when Wu said, "It's noon, and the one giving birth inside is his partner."

Bai Ling quickly helped the person up: "Wu, you don't need to thank me, I didn't do anything."

Wu's face showed anxiety, panic, and fear, but he still forced himself to remain calm and forced a smile: "Ling, although I don't know what candy is, I think it must be very precious. Of course I want to thank you for bringing out something so precious."

"And I also want to thank you for coming over in the middle of the night."

Bai Ling waved his hand and said, "Since the shaman sent the clan chief to call me, there must be a reason why he needs me. Of course I came. Wu, you don't need to thank me. Actually, I didn't do anything."

Clan Chief Zhan said from the side, "Wu, you shouldn't thank Ling here. Go and guard the gate instead."

After thanking Bai Ling again, Wu hurried to the cave entrance and paced anxiously there.

In the afternoon, Wu had Bai Ling summoned over again.

“Ling, the cubs and adults have been prepared. Come with me into the cave to take a look,” the shaman said with a serious expression. “The cubs are not entirely safe after they are born. Both the cubs and adults may die from sudden illnesses. Come with me to see if anything is wrong, or how the newborn cubs were prepared in that world.”

Bai Ling had no idea how to care for a newborn or a woman who had just given birth, but since the shaman had said so, and Wu, who was standing next to him, was looking at him expectantly, Bai Ling could only follow the shaman into the cave.

As soon as Bai Ling entered the cave, he felt a warm breeze. Bai Ling said that the kang (heated brick bed) should not be heated so much, so the orcs who were helping stopped burning firewood for the kang. However, the fire in the fire wall did not stop all night and burned all night long.

The cave wasn't very big to begin with, and with the continuous heat dissipation from the fire wall, the temperature inside was naturally quite high; you wouldn't feel cold even wearing an animal skin garment inside.

However, the cub on the kang was wrapped up very tightly. Bai Ling couldn't see how many layers the cub was covered with. She could only see that the cub was surrounded by several layers of animal skin, with only a small head showing.

Bai Ling couldn't recognize what the cub was either, but it had two small bumps on its head that looked like two small horns that hadn't yet sprouted.

Bai Ling thought about what he had seen in the video in his previous life, and then looked at the cub that was wrapped up very tightly. He asked, "Witch, I think the cub is covered with too many animal skins." He pointed to himself, "I'm wearing one shirt and two robes. I feel a bit hot after staying in this cave for a while. The cub is sleeping on the already warm kang and is covered with so many layers. It must be hot."

"Doctors in that world would specifically instruct adults that newborn babies should not be wrapped up too thickly, otherwise the infants would feel uncomfortable."

Wu said from the side, "But the cub shivers from time to time, and we all thought it was because it was cold."

Bai Ling carefully recalled what she had seen in the video, as well as what she had seen when visiting colleagues, friends, and relatives who had just given birth. They all said that the babies were not wrapped up too thickly, explaining that it was the doctor's advice: "The babies in that world sometimes shiver when they are born, and their hands and feet are also cold. The doctor said that this is because the babies' bodies are not fully developed yet. Even in the middle of summer, if you wrap the babies up in several layers, their hands and feet will still be cold, and they will not sweat."

The shaman chimed in, "That's true. Even cubs born in the hottest season of the year won't sweat if they're wrapped in two layers of animal skin."

There were two female beastmen in the house. They were Wu's father and Wu's partner's father. Both of them had children and had seen other newborn cubs. When they heard Bai Ling say this, they thought about it carefully. What this young beastman named Ling said was really right. When it was hottest, even the adults were unbearably hot and would sweat even indoors. But the cubs born at that time, even if they were wrapped in a layer of animal skin, would not have warm hands and feet and would not sweat.

What Ling said actually makes some sense.

After noon's father and his companion's father went over and discussed it with the baby's father. Then they took several pieces of animal skin off the baby, leaving only one skin wrapped around the baby and one skin covering the baby.

That's all Bai Ling knew about children. He didn't know much about adults either. He only knew that adults shouldn't touch cold water, shouldn't be exposed to wind, should eat easily digestible foods, should wipe their bodies with hot towels, and should rest for a while. That was all he knew.

However, even such simple common sense is very important to the orcs. Wu thanked them repeatedly and saw Bai Ling out of the cave. Wu even accompanied Bai Ling a little further.

As they were parting, Wu said to Bai Ling, "Ling, if you ever think about seeing a doctor again, you must come and tell me."

Bai Ling agreed: "Okay, Wu, I'll definitely tell you if I think of anything."

Bai Ling gave out all the candy from home, and his father Feng and father Cang didn't blame him at all. Instead, they said that Bai Ling should wake them up too, so that they could keep him company.

Bai Ling smiled and took her father's arm: "Father, Father, I'm an adult now, I don't need you to accompany me all the time."

“The wheat I planted has already sprouted. In a few more days, we can make maltose, and then our family will have plenty of sugar. Father, I’ve finished making the stone mill. Let’s grind some cassava to make some cassava starch. Once the maltose is made, we can make cassava cakes.”

"You can also grind some mung bean flour to make mung bean cakes, and soybean flour, plus tapioca starch, can make a simple version of donkey rolls to eat."

Chen listened, drooling, and asked, "Brother, what are tapioca cake, mung bean cake, and soybean flour? Are they delicious?"

Before Bai Ling could answer, Chen muttered to himself, "It's bound to taste delicious. How could something with sugar not taste good?"
