After hearing what Long Mo said, Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
She didn't expect Long Mo to tell her about the past.
The book did not describe the villain's past in detail, but Hu Jiaojiao knew that given the author's personality, it would be impossible for him to have a good past.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't even imagine what he had been through in the past to turn him into the brutal, bloodthirsty, murderous villain in the future.
The original body's betrayal was just a false alarm, but Long Mo's blackening was determined from the moment he was born.
Somehow, these words came to Hu Jiaojiao's mind.
Immediately, she shook her head quickly to drive away this terrible thought.
"I may not be very strong, but I will use my life to protect you and my little one." Long Mo said every word with a serious look as he made the promise.
It was not until today that he felt that he was a real orc and her partner.
Not garbage, not waste, and not the walking dead.
Hearing Long Mo's promise, Hu Jiaojiao blinked and felt a little sour at the tip of her nose.
She had been worried and troubled about how to defeat the villain, but she didn't expect that she would succeed just by wearing a piece of animal skin clothing.
But why wasn't she as happy as she thought
Fox Jiaojiao sniffed and smiled brightly and gently, "You are also very strong. You just need time to grow. In the future, you will definitely become a stronger orc than Yingyuan. I believe in you."
Long Mo's heart was touched.
Will it be stronger than Eagle
Does she...really think so
"Okay, it's just a piece of clothing. I will make new clothes for you and your baby every year in the future." Seeing Ying Yuan standing there with a serious expression, Hu Jiaojiao quickly changed the subject and continued to do the work at hand.
I was afraid that he would be immersed in the bad memories of the past.
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao's back, a determined look flashed in Long Mo's eyes, and he secretly made up his mind that he must become a stronger orc than Ying Yuan in the future.
Don't let her down.
It was almost dark when the five cubs came back slowly.
Hu Jiaojiao had already prepared the grilled fish and put it on the table. Fortunately, their dining table was big enough to accommodate seven fish weighing more than ten kilograms.
The five cubs were already starving. As soon as they came back, they washed their hands consciously and sat in a row at the table, each of them standing straight.
The grilled fish is full of freshness and fragrance, topped with a thick layer of minced garlic and a little chili, and is emitting hot white steam.
This is the flavor that the kids like best.
Seeing the five cubs drooling with greed, Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing.
"Why did you come back so late? It's dark now. Remember to come back earlier next time, otherwise you won't be able to make it for dinner." She casually reminded them and put children's chopsticks on the table for them.
"It's all Ling'er." Long Zhong curled his lips and muttered softly.
"What?" Hu Jiaojiao didn't hear clearly and looked back in confusion.
"Nothing." Long Linger immediately replied with a smile, "Third brother just said that mother is amazing. She caught such a big fish in one go. We couldn't catch it even after a whole day!"
After hearing Long Linger's words, Hu Jiaojiao smiled and glanced at Long Zhong suspiciously, "Really?"
Why didn't she think this boy would praise her
"Of course, third brother, don't you think so?" Long Linger smiled sweetly and turned to look at Long Zhong beside her.
Long Zhong felt his thigh being pinched hard and he immediately gasped.
“Hiss… Yes!”
Hu Jiaojiao was surprised, and felt that something was wrong...
"Mom, I'm so hungry. Xiaowu's stomach is almost bursting with hunger. Let's eat quickly!" Long Linger tilted her head and urged with an innocent smile.
On the other side, Long Yao nodded rapidly.
"Ah~" Eat meat! Eat meat! My sister even promised to share some meat with me!
Long Mo helped Hu Jiaojiao bring the food to the table. He happened to see this scene. His eyes flashed and passed across Long Linger's face.
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao seemed to be in a good mood, he pretended not to see it.
As a male cub, how can he not suffer a little
Long Zhong's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth to hold back any sound. He knew very well that if this little girl got angry, he would be in big trouble.
Long Xiu was a man of few words, but his gloomy face was now filled with a smile because of the laughter at the dinner table.
Long Yu would help him pick out fish bones from time to time and was a good brother who was conscientious and responsible.
Seeing Long Yu picking out the fishbone, Hu Jiaojiao smiled and praised: "Yu'er is so sensible, she even knows how to take care of her brother."
In the past, Long Xiu would most likely reject such behavior. He would just think that they were helping him too much because they thought he was useless.
But now he accepted it with pleasure, and Hu Jiaojiao felt that this was a good start.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's praise, Long Yu dropped the chopsticks in his hand. His tender little face was tense, as if he was accepting some sacred mission.
"Sorry, I'll go wash them." He quickly picked up the chopsticks and walked towards the water tank with a stiff body.
Hu Jiaojiao blinked, puzzled, why are they all acting weird today? Are they too tired from playing outside
When Long Mo, who was standing by, heard her words, his eyes darkened.
This was his first time eating fish, and he learned that one had to pick out the bones from fish. He took a look at the bones that Long Yu had picked out, then looked at the fish in front of Hu Jiaojiao, which she hadn't had time to pick up, and he also stretched out his chopsticks.
Who would have thought…
“Bang!”
Hu Jiaojiao slapped Long Mo's chopsticks away with her chopsticks and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Yours is not enough, why are you picking up my fish?"
Long Mo: "..."
A family of seven had dinner happily.
After dinner, the five cubs and Hu Jiaojiao washed up and went back to the house to sleep. Long Mo looked at the wooden house shrouded in moonlight, sighed, and went back to his exclusive bed - sleeping on the tree trunk.
The next day.
Hu Jiaojiao was awakened by the sound of anxious conversation.
She rubbed her eyes and looked outside. It was already dawn, so she quickly got up and went out to see what had happened.
After going out, Hu Jiaojiao found Long Mo in the yard with a male standing next to him.
Hu Jiaojiao recognized that this was the male orc who often followed the tribe leader. Seeing his anxious face, she immediately had a bad feeling.
"Long Mo, what happened?" She hurried over and asked.
Hearing the voice, Long Mo turned around and saw Hu Jiaojiao still sleepy with a few pink marks on her fair face. Knowing that she had just woken up, he relaxed his tightly pursed lips and was about to say that it was okay.
The male on the side trusted Hu Jiaojiao very much and blurted out first:
"The tribe has run out of salt. The chief is worried and wants everyone to come and find a solution."
"The salt is gone?!" Hu Jiaojiao's mind suddenly became clear.
The tribe didn't exchange any salt in the first place. The last time she heard from the tribe leader, she said that the remaining salt was barely enough for the females to survive the winter. How come it suddenly disappeared
