"You go back and rest."
The voice was cold and indifferent, without any emotion.
Hu Jiaojiao said "oh" and turned back to the house. After thinking for a while, she took out some medicine powder from the space, including hemostatic medicine and wound medicine. She wrapped some of each in leaves and sent them to the door of the cubs' wooden house.
He knocked on the door and asked softly:
"Long Mo, are you asleep? I left the medicine at the door, come and get it if you need it."
There was no response from the wooden house for a long time. Presumably, the person had fallen asleep, so Hu Jiaojiao turned and left.
Anyway, he will see it when he goes out tomorrow.
As soon as Hu Jiaojiao left, a figure came out from under the tree outside the yard, walked to the door and picked up the medicine bag. It was Long Mo who was sleeping outside.
Long Mo took the medicine bag, came under the tree, and sat on the thick branch with a light jump. He had changed out of the wet animal skin and was only wrapped in an animal skin bath towel, revealing his strong and muscular body with full tones.
The exposed skin was covered with wounds of varying sizes, all caused by scratches from wolves and stray orcs, and there were even teeth marks deep enough to see the bone.
After being soaked in river water, the wound had begun to turn white, and waves of stinging pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Under the pale moonlight, Long Mo's face also appeared pale. He opened the leaves, shook them and sprinkled the powder on the wound. A cool feeling spread from the wound to his whole body. For a moment, the pain seemed to be relieved a lot.
The wound on his back was not visible, so he sprinkled a lot of powder.
Long Mo's eyes darkened and he collected the remaining medicine powder and kept it close to his body.
Such an effective powder must be very precious.
She actually gave me so much of this precious powder... Why? Doesn't she hate herself
Long Mo was lying on a tree branch, his golden eyes full of doubt reflecting the full moon behind the mottled leaves, as if the moon also knew that their family was rarely reunited.
Although... in the way he was sleeping outside.
The next day.
After Hu Jiaojiao got up, she found that the medicine she took last night was missing and Long Mo was not at home.
The five cubs have gone out to collect wood, the yard has been cleaned, and the water tank has been filled with clean water. She slept soundly yesterday, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, the sun was already shining on her butt, and all the work was done.
Even the prey that Long Mo brought back was killed and chopped into large chunks of meat, which were tied with vines and hung neatly in the yard. Everything was in great order.
"No wonder female orcs find multiple partners and never think it's too many. With a male in the family, it feels different..."
Hu Jiaojiao touched her chin with one hand and sighed. Talking to herself.
etc!
Doesn't that mean that from today on, she will officially start living with Long Mo
Thinking of Long Mo's cold face, Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shudder, but after thinking about it, she felt that he was not as difficult to serve as described in the book.
As long as he doesn't turn evil, living with him and raising the baby to adulthood doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to accept.
Hu Jiaojiao clapped her hands, calmed herself down, put the meat on the bacon rack and started smoking it.
There is so much meat, she has to save some of it. She also needs to eat meat in winter. When she doesn't hunt in winter, it will not be convenient for her to take out fresh meat from the space, so she has to store enough food in advance.
She didn't want her baby to eat potatoes for the whole winter.
Because there was too much meat and it would go bad if left for too long, Hu Jiaojiao simply made two new smoking racks and put all the meat on them to smoke it, so that the meat would not go bad before it was finished smoking.
After breakfast was ready, the five cubs came back.
But Hu Jiaojiao waited and waited, but there was no sign of Long Mo.
"Ling'er, do you know where daddy has gone?" Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to ask Long Ling'er who was standing beside her.
Long Linger shook her head honestly, "I don't know, I haven't seen Daddy since this morning."
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that he went out hunting so early?" Fox Jiaojiao had a worried look on her face. Could it be that he ran back to the forest again
The villain's mind is too unpredictable.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the yard.
“Long Mo, you’re back…” Hu Jiaojiao was delighted, thinking it was Long Mo who came back, but when she turned around, it was Hou Xiang.
"Hou Xiang, why are you here?" Hu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile.
Hou Xiang smiled, walked forward enthusiastically, sniffed the fragrance coming from the yard greedily, suppressed the urge to drool, and asked:
"Are you waiting for Long Mo?"
"How do you know? He disappeared early in the morning, and I was waiting for him to come back for food." Hu Jiaojiao pouted, her tone helpless.
"He and the eagle went far away to the seaside to exchange for salt."
Hou Xiang suddenly dropped an explosive news.
Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao and the five cubs all looked at her.
"What did you say? Long Mo and Ying Yuan went to exchange salt together?"
Long Yu couldn't believe it, "Dad went to the beach?"
Long Zhong didn't believe it at all, "How is that possible? He won't go!"
Daddy never acted with the orcs in the tribe before, so why did he suddenly go with them to exchange salt today
"It's true, they have already set off. I just came back from there. The tribe leader asked me to tell you that Yingyuan is away, so don't worry too much." Hou Xiang comforted with a smile, thinking that Hu Jiaojiao was reluctant to let Long Mo leave.
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
It was because she was with Ying Yuan that she felt uneasy!
One is the protagonist, the other is the villain, what good can happen when they are together!
"Why did this guy leave so suddenly without telling me in advance? It will take a long time to change the salt, right?" Hu Jiaojiao frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
She remembered that in the book it was Ying Yuan who led the team to the seaside alone, and Long Mo was still living in the forest. Because of Long Wu's arrival, the original body ridiculed Long Mo even more severely.
Is it because she let Long Mo come back that the plot changed
"It takes more than a month to get from the tribe to the seaside, and it will take at least three months for them to exchange salt. But don't worry, Jiaojiao, they will definitely be back before winter." Hou Xiang explained.
Hu Jiaojiao nodded. Since they had already left, it was impossible for her to bring the person back.
Just hope the salt change goes as smoothly as described in the book…
But she always felt like she was missing something.
Hu Jiaojiao scratched her head, unable to remember, and simply gave up thinking about it. She took this opportunity to tan more animal skins and make a new piece of clothing for Long Mo.
Although his ragged, old, black animal skin did not affect his appearance at all, she always felt that it was like she was abusing her husband.
The other side.
Long Mo and Ying Yuan set out on the journey of exchanging salt together.
There were more than a dozen orcs traveling together, half of whom were males who were going to kill the stray orcs. Their injuries were relatively minor, and they were able to move freely after a night's rest.
Among them are Long Wu, and the two brothers Hu Qingshan and Hu Qinglu.
