After dinner, Hu Jiaojiao washed the pots and bowls and let the cubs play by themselves.
She took a machete from the space and went to the small woods behind the cabin to cut some long wooden sticks to repair the fence.
The cabin was already dilapidated, and the fence was kicked apart by the bear. It would be impossible to live in it without repairing it.
The orc world has just entered autumn, and the midday sun is still scorching.
Fox Jiaojiao worked tirelessly to put up the fence, inserted new wooden sticks, and secured it with vines.
Her original body was lazy and gluttonous, so now she felt weak even when doing any work. By the time she finished filling the two-meter-long gap, she was already sweating profusely.
Looking at the shabby fenced courtyard in front of her, Hu Jiaojiao secretly swore in her heart that she must build a new house if she had the chance!
Otherwise, if the big villain comes back, how will their family of seven fit in
Hu Jiaojiao wiped the sweat off her face. She hadn't taken a shower yesterday and she felt like she was going to stink. She was just about to get some water to wash herself back home while the cubs were not at home.
When she turned around, she saw Long Xiu standing at the door looking at her.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that Long Xiu was invisible.
"Xiu Xiu, why didn't you go out to play with Ling'er and the others?" Hu Jiaojiao could only put aside her bathing plans and walked over to ask.
There was no expression on Long Xiu's pale face, and his entire body was shrouded in the shadows of the room.
"I can't see."
He replied in a calm voice.
Hu Jiaojiao recalled that the second cub, Long Xiu, was blind and introverted, and had no emotional connection with his brothers and sisters. He also had the lowest sense of presence among the cubs.
He seldom plays with other cubs.
She felt that she might have neglected Long Xiu, so she rubbed his head and said softly: "Then mother will accompany you. Wherever you want to go in the future, mother will take you there."
It seems that she will have to pay more attention to the second child in the future.
Feeling the warmth coming from above his head, Long Xiu's thin body stiffened.
He bit his almost pale lips and said firmly: "You are not her."
Hu Jiaojiao's smile froze, and then she calmly pretended to be stupid: "Xiu Xiu, what are you talking about? Mother is mother. You won't disown your mother just because she treated you badly in the past, right?"
Long Xiu was indeed the most perceptive cub of the original body, and he saw through her in just one day.
However, she is now using her original body. Even if Long Xiu can see that she is not her original body, he has no evidence.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiaojiao calmed down a lot.
No matter how powerful the villain is, he can only torture this body. He can't expel her soul!
"You can fool them, but you can't fool me." Long Xiu looked at Hu Jiaojiao coldly, as if he knew what Hu Jiaojiao was thinking.
Although he couldn't see, he could still look Hu Jiaojiao in the eye accurately.
For a moment, Hu Jiaojiao even thought that he could actually see it.
"Xiu Xiu, I..."
"Mom! Brother Xiaotiao is here!"
Hu Jiaojiao was just worrying about how to fool this little guy when she heard Long Linger's surprised cry from outside the yard.
Hearing that a stranger was coming, Long Xiu pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said nothing more. He turned around and groped his way into the house.
The vicious female is his mother. Even if something happens, he should do it himself. He doesn't want outsiders to interfere.
After looking at Long Xiu's back, Hu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look outside the yard.
Long Linger came back running and jumping, followed by a tall and thin male.
The male was carrying several preys and had some difficulty walking.
Long Yu and Long Zhong walked at the end, each holding a bundle of wood in their arms.
Long Yao was probably tired from flying, and he lay softly on Long Yu's head, but his pair of red animal eyes were staring at the prey in the male's hand.
"Ling'er, what is this?"
Hu Jiaojiao hurried over, looking a little puzzled.
She had only read the novel and knew the plot, but she didn't recognize the characters in the book.
"Mom, Dad asked Brother Xiaotiao to bring back the prey. We were outside collecting wood and happened to run into Brother Xiaotiao, so we came back with him."
Long Linger is lively by nature and is the only one who is willing to take the initiative to talk to Hu Jiaojiao.
After listening to Long Linger's words, Hu Jiaojiao suddenly realized.
Although the villain Long Mo lives in the forest, he will send back some prey every ten days or half a month.
Because the original body disliked him, he usually asked the orcs in the tribe to pass it on.
The male in front of them should be the monkey Xiaotiao who often helps Long Mo deliver prey, so the cubs all know him.
only…
Fox Jiaojiao narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and turned to look at Monkey Xiaotiao who was sweating profusely.
Hou Xiaotiao put the prey on his shoulder to the ground with a thump, wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Hu Jiaojiao, "Hu Jiaojiao, this is the meat Long Mo brought for you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"etc."
"Hu Jiaojiao, do you have anything else to do?"
Hou Xiaotiao was stopped and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with a vague look.
"Have you forgotten something?" Hu Jiaojiao walked forward and glanced at the prey on the ground.
The prey were not big, two medium-sized sheep beasts and a pitifully skinny spotted bird.
"Forget, forget what? I don't know what you are talking about." Hou Xiaotiao turned away with an evasive look, lowered his head, and looked guilty.
Several cubs looked over, their eyes hooked on Monkey Xiaotiao.
They not only have ill will towards Hu Jiaojiao, but any orc who invades their interests is an enemy.
Hu Jiao sneered and pointed at one of the sheep beasts that was covered in wounds. "This is not the prey that Long Mo caught at all. You stole Long Mo's prey, and you used this kind of stuff to fool me. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Monkey Xiaotiao was shocked.
How did she know
"You are talking nonsense. What right do you have to accuse me of stealing prey? I was kind enough to help you deliver the prey, but you actually slandered me. Don't even think about asking me to help you in the future!"
Monkey Xiaotiao widened his eyes and pointed at Fox Jiaojiao's nose, blaming her for the crime.
"The claw marks on this prey are so small, they are not Long Mo's claw marks at all."
Hu Jiaojiao confronted him with a cold face.
Although Long Mo in the book was called a waste, he had a strong hunting ability. He would bring back at least a dozen prey every time. However, after passing through the hands of Hou Xiaotiao, only two or three were left in the hands of his original owner.
The original body was also a fool and never doubted Hou Xiaotiao.
If it weren't for the fact that Monkey Xiaotiao always hid the prey and replaced the intact animal skins, she and her cubs would not have to starve and freeze, and there would not even be a complete animal skin in their home.
Hou Xiaotiao's face froze, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead, forgot to wipe them off.
Perhaps it was because Hu Jiaojiao's eyes were too sharp, he became angry and said with his neck stiff and his face flushed, "Yes! I changed the prey, what can you do to me!"
"Females like you deserve to starve to death. You only know how to beat these cubs every day. Have you ever fed them a bite of meat since they grew up? Have you ever let them wear a good animal hide?"
"It's better to feed the prey to the dog than to give it to you! Ugh!"
He spat fiercely.
