After Long Mo left, Hu Jiaojiao made breakfast for the cubs and continued to concentrate on supervising the orcs building the stone house.
After Long Yao had eaten and drunk his fill, he immediately lay back in the cabin and fell into a deep sleep.
"Ah~" Xiaowu wants to get enough sleep while his daddy is not at home!
This way, when daddy comes back, it won’t be sleepy anymore!
The simple-minded Long Yao didn’t know that he couldn’t get enough sleep in advance.
Long Linger went to the river to clean her precious knife. This was her daily task. She washed it with clean water and then polished it carefully to keep the blade sharp.
He moved with great caution, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.
Long Linger was sharpening a knife on a large stone with her head down when she suddenly saw a pair of familiar shoes in front of her.
These shoes were made by my mother.
She looked up and saw that it was Long Zhong. She immediately pouted and complained:
"Third brother, what are you doing? You walked over here without saying a word. There was no sound at all when you walked, like an elf."
Legend has it that in the dark forest, there lived a group of elves who came and went without a trace and often enjoyed scaring passing orcs.
Some of them will even confuse orcs and capture them as food. In the eyes of orcs, elves are like human ghosts.
Orcs often use stories about elves to scare the cubs, telling them to be obedient and not run around, otherwise they will be captured by the scary elves.
Because Long Zhong was serious and often bullied her with his sharp tongue, Long Linger always compared him with an elf.
Long Zhong said nothing, groped in his pocket and handed over a black object.
"What is this?" Long Linger stretched her neck and looked over curiously, but did not immediately reach out to take it.
"For you." Long Zhong curled his lips, took two steps forward, and stuffed the thing directly into Long Linger's hand.
Long Linger lowered her head and took a closer look, and discovered that the black thing was made of animal skin with a layer of short fur on the outside. It felt a bit rough to the touch, and the workmanship was not fine. It was obvious that it was made for the first time.
However, there is no prickly feeling at the stitching.
She held it in her hand and looked at it, curiously asking, "What is this for?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that this thing was similar in shape to her precious knife.
Long Linger tried to put the knife in.
“!!” Just right!
"Third brother, is this the clothes you made for my little knife?"
Long Linger's eyes lit up instantly, flashing brightly, and she turned to look at Long Zhong excitedly.
Why didn’t she think of making clothes for Xiaodao!
Long Zhong immediately turned his head away and said with a disdainful tone, "Just do it casually. Wrap your knife well, so as not to hurt the orcs when you go out and cause trouble for us."
In fact, I was afraid that she would accidentally scratch herself.
After all, it is a sharp weapon, and she is a little female.
Long Linger, however, seemed to have not heard Long Zhong's words of disdain at all. She narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Third Brother, for making clothes for my Xiaodao. I like them very much."
After saying this, he played with it lovingly and added another sentence.
“It likes it too.”
"I told you to just do it casually, not on purpose." Long Zhong corrected with a cold face, his face as black as charcoal.
Long Linger laughed twice, without any rebuttal, and her smile became even brighter.
Long Zhong snorted lightly, turned around and left.
The other side.
Long Yu clenched his fists, his eyes fierce, and punched the towering tree in front of him one punch after another, honing his body and strength.
His small body stood in front of the big tree, as tiny as a blade of grass. Every time he struck with his fist, the tree didn't even react, only making a dull sound of flesh colliding with a hard object. But he didn't slack off at all.
One punch, two punches… a hundred punches, a thousand punches.
As long as he perseveres, one day he will be able to knock down the tree, kill all the bad guys who bully his family, become the strongest orc, protect his younger brothers and sisters, and protect his mother.
Long Xiu stood not far from him, his eyes closed, listening quietly to any movement in the forest, holding the slingshot given to him by Hu Jiaojiao in his hand.
The sound of wind, falling leaves, crashing, birds flapping their wings...
Various sounds mixed together and entered his ears. It was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the directions of all the sounds.
There was no trace of anxiety on Long Xiu's cold face. The sound of the hammers was like bells and drums, in his ears and in his heart, like a ruler, measuring the distance between him and other sounds.
A breeze blew by.
The birds on the tree couldn't stand Long Yu's destruction of the tree. They flapped their wings, chirped, and flew away from the branches.
Long Xiu's ears moved, and he raised his hand instantly, and the small stone on his fingertips shot accurately at the bird.
“Pah.”
It was the sound of stones hitting each other.
When Long Yu retracted his fist, he saw a gray sparrow fall to the ground, twitched twice, and then died.
He looked at Long Xiu in surprise, and a delighted smile appeared on his face, which had always been stern like an old man. "Second brother, you hit it!"
Long Xiu was also stunned, then pursed her lips, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Well done." Long Yu picked up the little sparrow, walked up and patted Long Xiu on the shoulder.
This was the first time he saw Long Xiu smile.
It seemed that since birth, his younger brother had always had a gray face and always hid in the dark. He didn't want to see the light, didn't want to come into contact with orcs, and even spoke very little to them.
He thought that he would never see Long Xiuxiao again in his life!
Long Yu took his hand and put the little sparrow in his hand.
Long Xiu put down the slingshot and kept stroking the little sparrow in his hands. The temperature of the sparrow had not yet subsided. His slightly trembling fingertips touched the soft feathers, and he felt the warm touch.
This is his prey!
This was the first time he caught prey on his own!
Even though it was just a small bird, it was the last one to complete among the brothers and sisters.
But for him, this seemed like a huge step in life.
"Brother, I did it. I really can."
After a long time, Mr. Long moved his lips that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and said in a trembling voice.
He is no longer a useless piece of shit.
He is now a piece of trash that is of little use!
At least... I'm a little more useful than before, so she can despise me a little less, right
Long Yu showed a gratified smile on his face. Even though Long Xiu couldn't see it, he still nodded vigorously, "Well, you are amazing."
Long Xiu's body swayed. His legs were numb because he had been standing in the same place for too long without moving.
Long Yu quickly supported him and frowned.
"Second brother, that's enough. Pay attention to rest next time and don't work so hard."
He is the eldest brother. Even if Long Xiu has no ability in the future, he can still take care of him for the rest of his life. He only hopes that his younger brothers and sisters can be safe and sound, and he will bear all the heavy burdens.
Long Xiu pursed her lips and raised her hand to press the back of Long Yu's hand, which was already covered with a thick layer of calluses.
In a light tone, he said:
"Brother, if you hammer me again, my eyes will be broken."
Long Yu's body stiffened and his face suddenly became stern.
Then he remembered that he couldn't see, so he deliberately said in a slightly angry voice:
"Am I the big brother, or are you the big brother?"
