Lu Mian'er just felt that Tiger Crystal seemed a little strange today.
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You go find Hu Jiaojiao first, I'll be there soon." Hu Jing pushed Lu Mian'er forward and turned and ran without waiting for her to speak.
"Eh..."
Lu Mian'er stretched out her hand, then lowered it with a puzzled look on her face.
"What's wrong today? It seems that Hu Jing is absent-minded..." She muttered in confusion, then shook her head helplessly and turned to find Hu Jiaojiao.
Hu Jing ran out of the group of orcs, but was hit on the head by a black shadow flying towards him.
"Ouch!"
Hu Jing grimaced in pain and took several steps back. When she opened her eyes, she found that the person she had collided with was a little black dragon.
Isn’t this Fox Jiaojiao’s youngest cub
"Hiss..." While she was puzzled, her forehead suddenly hurt. Hu Jing rubbed her head with a bitter face and gritted her teeth secretly: Is this kid's head made of stone? It's so hard!
“Ah~”
Long Yao was knocked over several times in the air and fell into the arms of Long Yu behind him.
"Xiaowu, are you okay?" Long Yu asked with concern while holding Long Yao. "I told you to go slower. Did you hit a beast?"
After saying that, he looked at Hu Jing and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu didn't mean it."
Long Yao looked aggrieved and had a headache. He wanted to cover his head with his paws, but his paws were too short to reach his head. So he touched his head with his tail to comfort himself.
Later, Long Linger and Long Zhong also followed. Long Xiu didn't like being around crowds, so he stayed in the wooden house and didn't come out.
Hu Jing glanced at the cubs, endured the pain, and waved her hands, "It's okay, it's okay."
As an adult female, she would not make things difficult for a little cub that has not yet transformed.
Besides, she is in so much pain, so this kid must be in more pain than her.
The cubs didn't have a good impression of Hu Jing. They only remembered that Hu Jing used to often go against Hu Jiaojiao and they would almost always quarrel whenever they met, but he had never bullied them.
Seeing that she was so easy to talk to today, his face was suddenly filled with suspicion.
This female doesn't seem as fierce as imagined.
Hu Jing's pain eased a little. Looking at the four cubs, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He waved his hand and asked in a low voice:
"That... Hu Jiaojiao's cubs, have you seen Hu Qingyuan? He is your fourth uncle."
Long Linger blinked, looked at Hu Jing with curiosity, and blurted out:
"You're looking for Fourth Uncle! He's not here today. Is there anything you want to talk to him about?"
Long Linger did not lower her voice, and her soft and tender little voice spread all at once. Hu Jing was so nervous that she wanted to cover her mouth, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Long Yu and Long Zhong immediately protected Long Linger behind them.
He looked at her with a wary look.
They thought Hu Jing was going to attack Ling'er.
Seeing the two cubs so alert and nervous, Hu Jing quickly withdrew his hand, smiled awkwardly, and explained:
"I'm not trying to bully her, don't be nervous."
She turned around and looked around, and found that everyone's attention was on building the stone house, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, he continued to answer Long Linger's question.
"I'm not looking for him, I'm just asking... Um, um, isn't he Hu Jiaojiao's brother? Hu Jiaojiao is building a stone house, so why doesn't he come to help?"
Hu Jing pulled up a dry smile, his eyes were vague, and he looked like he was trying to hide something.
Long Yu and Long Zhong looked at Hu Jing suspiciously, and when they saw that she really had no intention of hurting Long Linger, they relaxed their guard.
Long Zhong curled his lips and snorted coldly:
"So you want to ask about Fourth Uncle. Do you like him?"
"No! No! Little boy, don't talk nonsense, I'm just asking casually."
Hu Jing's face suddenly turned red and he started to explain without thinking.
Long Zhong crossed his arms over his chest, looking at her with a half-smile on his face, and did not refute. However, Hu Jing felt as if her thoughts were seen through.
Long Yu just held Long Yao in his arms without saying anything, like a responsible guardian angel. As long as his brothers and sister were not harmed, he was too lazy to intervene.
Long Linger pushed aside her two brothers' shoulders with her hands, poked her little head out, and explained with a smile:
"The clan leader said that the uncles are his own people, and the opportunity to learn how to build stone houses will be left to other orcs, so he didn't let the uncles come!"
"Fourth uncle is not here today. If you want to look for him, you should go to Fourth uncle's house."
She kindly reminded.
The four cubs of the fox family have all grown up. They no longer live with Hu Qiang and Hu Min, and each has their own independent house, but the houses of the four brothers and the two elders are next to each other.
"I've already said it, I'm not looking for him, I'm just asking casually..."
Hu Jing felt like gritting his teeth.
Why are these kids acting like ghosts? She told them it was not the case, but they just ignored her words.
Fox Jiaojiao's cub is really evil!
"I won't talk to you anymore." Hu Jing decided to stay away from these cubs and turned around to find Lu Mian'er.
After taking two steps, he turned back.
Looking at the four cubs, he bent down and coaxed them:
"Don't tell the other orcs what I just said. I'll bring you something delicious next time."
When he heard that there was something delicious, Long Yao's eyes lit up instantly. He flew out of Long Yu's arms with a whoosh. He didn't feel any pain at all and was about to nod his head eagerly.
As for what Hu Jing said
None of that matters!
But the little head had just been raised, but before it fell down, it froze.
Thinking of what Hu Jiaojiao had said to it in the wasteland, it immediately lowered its head and flew back into Long Yu's arms.
"Ah~" No, Xiaowu promised his mother not to eat food given by others.
No matter how hungry you are or how much you want to eat, you can't!
Xiaowu, you have to hold on!
Hu Jing and a few of the cubs looked at Long Yao, who was excited at one moment and disappointed at another, all with confused expressions on their faces.
What's wrong with this little guy
In just a short while, I felt like I had experienced all the ups and downs in life.
"We agreed not to tell anyone." Hu Jing naturally had no idea of Long Yao's psychological activities. Seeing that they didn't say anything, she took it as their agreement and turned to find Lu Mian'er.
The kids looked at each other and followed.
They took this opportunity to help their father again.
Fox Jiaojiao was explaining the structure of the stone house to Monkey Xiaotiao and several other males. She planned to make it a house like the one in the north, with a kang as the bed, so that they could keep warm in bed when it got cold in winter.
She believed that the orcs would definitely like to sleep on the kang.
In winter, orcs stay indoors. Apart from eating and drinking, the only thing they can do is to give birth to cubs and make a great contribution to the reproduction of the tribe.
Lu Mian'er came over and saw that she was talking until her mouth was dry and that Hou Xiaotiao and the others were still confused. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Hu Jiaojiao.
She is obviously a female, but she knows more than males and works so hard.
Why didn't she realize that Jiaojiao was such a good female before
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao didn't even have time to drink water, Lu Mian'er went to the side and got a bowl of water. Before he got close, he saw another hand had already handed a bowl of water to Hu Jiaojiao's mouth.
