late at night.
Hu Jiaojiao woke up from her dream, her whole body soaked with cold sweat.
She had a prophetic dream again!
In the dream, her father and elder brother were on their way back from transporting salt flowers. Because they took a shortcut, they were brutally killed by a group of orcs who appeared along the way and the salt flowers were stolen.
Their bodies were almost chopped into pieces and thrown randomly in the forest to be eaten by wild beasts.
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Hu Jiaojiao felt her scalp tingling and her heart palpitating. She quickly got up and looked outside the door.
At this time, the moon is still hanging on the treetops, and it is not yet dawn. It should be some time before dawn.
She should immediately go find Long Mo and the tribe leader, tell them about this, and ask the tribe leader to send orcs to rescue them, but reason told her that it was not the right time.
because…
In the dream, besides the eight orcs transporting salt flowers, there was also Long Mo!
Why is he among those orcs!
Hu Jiaojiao looked solemn, pinching her pale palms with her fingertips, forcing herself to calm down and carefully recall the details of her dream.
Suddenly!
She suddenly understood something.
It turned out that the previous dream did not simply tell her the whereabouts of Yanhua, but was an unfinished nightmare. At the end of the dream, the dragon roars and fox howls she heard did not come from the tribe, but from the way back when she was robbed!
But she was woken up by her baby, and only today did she dream about what happened next.
"But... why is Long Mo also here..."
Hu Jiaojiao frowned, her brain working rapidly, and she murmured in disbelief: "Is it because of me?"
If she tells this to the tribe leader, he will send orcs to rescue them, and among the orcs going to rescue them is Long Mo. Not only will they fail to save them, but Long Mo will also die!
But if we don’t tell them, my eldest brother, my father, and the orcs who are traveling with them will all die.
Is she going to watch them die
"Hiss." Hu Jiaojiao accidentally bit her lip in anxiety.
The smell of blood filled her mouth, as if it was a warning from God, telling her that she must make a decision as soon as possible.
early morning.
As soon as Hu Jiaojiao went out, she saw five cubs in the yard.
"Did you not sleep well last night?" Hu Jiaojiao walked over and looked at the panda eyes of the cubs with a puzzled look.
Except for Long Linger, the other four cubs had deep dark circles around their eyes, as if they had put on a layer of smoky makeup. Especially Long Xiu, his face was pale and his eyes were dark, which was very obvious.
As for Long Yao...
It was originally black, so you couldn't tell whether it had dark circles under its eyes. Its eyes were dull and its expression was tired, just like the other three cubs. Hu Jiaojiao guessed that it was the same.
"Ha~" Long Linger raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned, and muttered softly, "How can I sleep well when I sleep with Daddy?"
The voice was so soft that Hu Jiaojiao didn't hear it clearly, "Ling'er, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, mother. Ling'er is sleeping soundly." Long Ling'er instantly smiled and answered sweetly.
"Really?" Hu Jiaojiao turned her head suspiciously and looked at the other four cubs, who nodded in unison.
Seeing this, Hu Jiaojiao did not ask any more questions. She was concerned about another important matter. She looked around the courtyard and did not see Long Mo, so she asked:
"Where's your daddy?"
"Daddy went out early in the morning to look for Uncle Xiaotiao." Long Linger answered obediently.
"Dad said that Uncle Xiaotiao is too stupid, so he wants to explain the structure of the stone house to him in person, so that Uncle Xiaotiao won't hinder the progress of building the stone house."
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
Long Mo is going to teach Monkey Xiaotiao a lesson
Yesterday she just wanted to familiarize Hou Xiaotiao and the others with the knowledge in advance. After all, new knowledge needs to be memorized several times before it can be remembered.
But she had only explained it once, and Long Mo had already remembered it all. How could he still teach others? !
What an enviable brain!
Hu Jiaojiao touched Long Linger's head and said, "Mom is going to find Dad. Stay at home and be good. I will come back to make breakfast for you when I am done with my work."
"I know, mother. Go and get busy. Ling'er will help you look after brother and Xiaowu." Long Ling'er nodded obediently, with an innocent and sensible expression like a little adult.
The other four cubs also nodded tiredly.
Hu Jiaojiao's eyes were gentle and she smiled slightly. The moment she turned around and left the yard, the smile on her face instantly turned into a solemn look.
"I hope in time..."
She murmured.
Not long after walking, Hu Jiaojiao saw Long Mo and ten orcs who were building stone houses coming towards them.
Hou Xiaotiao and his companions were woken up by Long Mo early in the morning and forced to listen to his explanation. After he finished explaining, he urged them to come and build the stone house. They didn't even have time to eat or drink water.
It's simply the skinning of the beast.
Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward and grabbed Long Mo's arm, then looked at Hou Xiaotiao and the others and said seriously:
"Something may have happened to the orcs who were taking the salt flowers. Long Mo and I are going to discuss this matter with the tribe leader. You guys go and continue yesterday's work and lay the foundation. I'll come back later to check on the progress."
When they heard that Yanhua was in trouble, Hou Xiaotiao and the others' expressions became serious.
He nodded repeatedly, "Okay, no problem, go back to work."
"Yes, we promise not to be lazy!"
"Don't worry."
The orcs patted their chest muscles and chest hair to make assurances, their rough and loud voices sounding very heroic.
Hu Jiaojiao always thinks about the tribe and helps everyone solve so many problems.
At times like this, they should do what they should do for Hu Jiaojiao and not let her be distracted.
"Thank you very much."
Hu Jiaojiao nodded and pulled Long Mo to find the patriarch.
Long Mo, a tall and slender man, was pulled away by the petite female who was more than a head shorter than him without any hesitation.
"Fox... Jiaojiao, you said that the orc who was taking the salt flowers had an accident. What happened?"
Long Mo's eyes fell on her white and tender little hand that was holding his arm. He opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse and low voice.
She always seemed to know things that other orcs didn't.
Whether it is planting earth fruits, building stone houses, picking salt fruits, or picking salt flowers.
"Long Mo, if I say that I dreamed that they were all dead, will you believe me?" Hu Jiaojiao stopped and spoke in a low voice without looking back.
"I believe it."
The answer came in a firm voice, without a trace of hesitation.
She is his partner.
There is no orc who does not trust his partner.
Hu Jiaojiao's heart stagnated, and even her breathing seemed to stop for a few seconds.
After a moment, she turned her head and looked carefully into Long Mo's deep golden eyes, and said earnestly and pleadingly:
"I need you to do me a favor."
…
Hu Jiaojiao came to the clan leader's house alone.
As soon as he walked out of the house, the patriarch pushed the door open and walked out.
Seeing Fox Jiaojiao, the tribe leader was curious, "Jiaojiao? Aren't you building a stone house? Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Chief, something happened to the eight orcs who were taking the salt flowers!"
Hu Jiaojiao stood outside the yard and said anxiously.
The noise was quite loud and immediately attracted many orcs from the surrounding areas.
