"From now on, if you need any charcoal in the tribe, you will be given priority unconditionally."
The tribe leader is a clear-headed man. If it weren't for Hu Jiaojiao, the tribe wouldn't have these.
"Thank you very much, Chief." Hu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and did not refuse. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Chief, I have already taught them how to make charcoal. If they have any questions in the future, just ask them to ask me directly."
Now that she has revealed the method, she won't hide it.
What’s more, her second brother Hu Qinggao is among them.
The chieftain was not without sense of propriety. He knew what to tell the orcs and what not to tell them. Moreover, there had just been a traitor in the tribe. For such an important method, he selected trustworthy orcs and did not worry about it being leaked.
"Okay, okay." The patriarch smiled.
Quickly arrange for the orcs to continue burning charcoal and stockpile it.
There are two hundred orcs in the tribe, but many were lost in previous battles. Now there are only more than a hundred orcs, but only the females need charcoal.
In the eyes of males, except when they are making cubs with females in winter, they transform into animal forms at other times, and their thick fur is enough to protect them from the severe cold.
"Little sister, let me help you carry all the charcoal back!"
Hu Jiaojiao watched the clan leader leave, and Hu Qinggao's handsome face suddenly enlarged and appeared in front of her.
As he said this, he went to get some vines, rolled them into ropes, and tied up the charcoal.
The wood that the orcs cut down was very large. The smallest one was one meter long and ten centimeters in diameter, making it easy to carry.
Although Hu Qinggao has a thin figure and looks like an elegant nobleman, he is very efficient when doing his work.
In a short while, two hundred kilograms of charcoal were tied up and divided into two bundles, with each carrying one bundle in each hand.
Although he has a frail body, he does the work of a big man.
The speed was so fast that even the orcs nearby who wanted to show their courtesy didn't have time to react.
Orcs: With Fox Qinggao around, it seems like they will never have a chance to please Fox Jiaojiao.
"Second brother, I don't want to go home." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, went forward to help, and also tied a bundle of charcoal weighing about 50 kilograms and carried it with both hands.
She is not a weak female who is powerless and cannot let her second brother suffer alone.
"Ah? Little sister, if you don't go home, where should the charcoal be moved?" Hu Qinggao looked confused.
"I went to visit mom and dad. I haven't visited them for a long time. It's a good opportunity to give these charcoals to mom to use during the winter."
She has been in the Beast World for so long, and they have always been the ones taking care of her, but she has yet to repay them properly.
The first batch of charcoal should naturally be used to honor my parents.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, the smile on Hu Qinggao's face froze, and he hurriedly blocked her way with charcoal in his hand:
"Go see mom? No, no, you can't go!"
"Why can't I go? Is something wrong with mother?" Hu Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously.
My second brother looks weird today.
"No, how could anything happen to mom? Mom is fine..." Hu Qinggao looked away guiltily and changed the subject, "I'd better help you move back home first."
Hu Jiaojiao stared at Hu Qinggao's eyes for a few seconds, then took a step forward, becoming more determined to go see her parents.
"Since everything is fine, why can't I go see my mother?"
He said he couldn't go, but she had to go today.
"Hey! Little sister, don't go, wait for me..."
Hu Qinggao followed anxiously behind, his brows furrowed into a "川" shape, and in the end he could only carry a bundle of charcoal on one shoulder and quickly catch up.
Fifty kilograms was not considered heavy for Hu Jiaojiao. The more Hu Qinggao tried to stop her, the more she felt something was wrong. She went all the way to Hu Min's house without stopping.
From a distance, she saw her third and fourth brothers squatting at the door, looking dejected.
When the two heard footsteps, they looked up and found it was Hu Jiaojiao. They were immediately frightened and jumped up from the ground.
"Little sister, why are you here suddenly?" Hu Qinglu took the lead and asked in a gentle and warm voice.
"Little sister, you came without even saying hello. Fourth brother is here to pick you up!" Hu Qingyuan also walked over.
As soon as they saw their sister, they both changed their dejected expressions and put on smiles.
But Hu Jiaojiao could still see the forcedness in their eyes.
The fox orcs care most about their image. The untidy beards of these two men look abnormal no matter how you look at them.
"Did something happen to mom?" Hu Jiaojiao asked straight to the point.
The smiles on their faces froze for a moment. Before they could answer, they saw Hu Qinggao following behind them and immediately glared at him.
What's going on? Brother, did you tell me about mom's situation
After receiving the eye signal, Hu Qinggao immediately shook his head innocently.
"I didn't say anything," he mouthed.
As soon as Hu Jiaojiao turned her head, he immediately closed his mouth and his eyes wandered around.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a throbbing sensation in her temples.
Do these guys think she is a fool? They wink at her so blatantly and try to fool her.
Hu Qingyuan still thought that Hu Jiaojiao was the little sister they had coaxed into being with a few words before. He scratched his head guiltily and grinned dryly:
"Mom is fine. With us here, nothing can go wrong."
But I was complaining in my heart. My younger sister never came home before, so why did she come back today
We brothers still want to continue coaxing Hu Jiaojiao away.
Hu Jiaojiao stuffed the charcoal directly into Hu Qingyuan's arms and strode into the house.
"I'm going to go see my mother."
The three brothers were so anxious that they jumped up and down on the spot and hurried to catch up.
The wooden house was clean and tidy. In the corner was a pile of thick animal skins, which were used to keep warm in winter.
There was no furniture in the room except animal skins and some food. There was a bed covered with thick animal skins, and the top layer was even the softest wool. It was obvious that Hu Qiang was also a man who doted on his wife.
At this time, Hu Min was lying on the bed with a pale face.
"mother!"
Hu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat and she rushed over quickly, subconsciously checking Hu Min's breath.
Fortunately, I am still angry.
Just that hot breath...
Hu Jiaojiao reached out and touched Hu Min's forehead.
hot!
She has a high fever!
"Little sister!"
"Little sister, you..."
The three brothers ran in immediately after them, and when they saw that Hu Jiaojiao had already discovered them, their attempts to stop them stopped abruptly.
"Why didn't you tell me that mom was sick? You didn't even let me know." Hu Jiaojiao was angry.
Do these three fools think that their mother’s fever can go down just by lying down
If she hadn't been about to bring charcoal over, she wouldn't have known that her mother was so badly burned.
"Little sister, we are afraid that you will worry..."
"We've already had an old vet take a look at it."
"Yes, mom has taken medicine. The vet said that she will be fine after a good night's sleep. Don't worry, little sister."
The three brothers hurriedly explained, fearing that Hu Jiaojiao would be angry.
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at the three of them. The dejected look on her face just now didn't look like she would be well again tomorrow.
They are lying!
Hu Jiao was too coquettish to speak. She turned around, covered her body, took out a thermometer from the space, and measured it on Hu Min's forehead.
Forty degrees!
