Yin Cang turned his head and saw a cute little female standing behind him, with her hands on her hips, looking at him with a scrutinizing look.
The little girl's skin was as white as the snow that fell in winter, clean and beautiful, which was a stark contrast to his dirty appearance.
A pair of bright big eyes were black and shiny. If his eyes were the night, then her eyes must be the bright stars in the night sky.
Yin Cang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked away.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Who are you? Why have I never seen you before in our tribe?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Long Linger changed the question.
Long Linger's bright eyes kept looking at him, and she recognized at a glance that he was not a cub from the tribe.
Just now she heard other orcs say that her mother had rescued two orcs. Could her mother be going to pick up this boy and raise him
She immediately became alert and stared at Yin Cang with caution, as if she was guarding against a bad guy who was trying to steal her mother.
This time, Yin Cang didn't even turn his head, but watched quietly as Hu Jiaojiao helped Yin Gu treat his wounds.
Long Linger frowned.
This boy has been staring at her mother. He must want to steal her mother away!
That's what Daddy is like.
"That's my mother. No matter how long you look at her, she is not yours." Long Linger came to this conclusion. She immediately put her hands on her hips, walked in front of Yin Cang to block his view.
Yin Cang's gaze was forced to fall on her face.
It turns out that the female who saved him and his brother was her mother
She is so lucky to have such a beautiful mother. No wonder she is so beautiful...
He lowered his eyes, took two steps back, and subconsciously kept a distance from her, as if he was afraid that the dirt and blood on his body would stain her clean animal hide.
"Are you injured? You're bleeding a lot..."
Just now, against the light, Long Linger saw the wounds and blood on his body only after she approached.
Her small brows furrowed even more tightly, but she was not angry.
"So you wanted my mother to treat your wound!" Long Linger poked her chin with her index finger and thumb, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on her face.
Forget it! Considering that he was injured, she would reluctantly let her mother help him for a while!
Yin Cang looked at her with complicated eyes, and before he could shake his head, he heard her continue.
"My mother is amazing. You are lucky to have met her."
Somehow, his shaking head finally turned into a nod.
"Why don't you say anything?" Long Linger talked to herself for a long time before she realized that Yin Cang didn't answer her at all.
She tilted her head closer to his face and looked at him curiously.
Yin Cang's heart stopped beating when his face suddenly enlarged. He stepped back suddenly, but forgot that he was already standing in the corner and his head hit the wall.
With a "bang" sound.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the orcs around.
Seeing that it was Fox Jiaojiao's cub here, they immediately looked away and no one drove her away.
The cubs in the tribe are the most mischievous, but they all know that Fox Jiaojiao's five cubs are very well-behaved and never cause trouble. With Fox Jiaojiao as a filter, the orcs have a very good impression of the five cubs.
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
Hu Jiaojiao had just treated Yin Gu's injuries. When she heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was Long Linger, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Mother!"
As soon as she heard Hu Jiaojiao's voice, Long Linger's expression suddenly became obedient and she showed a sweet smile.
He gave a crisp cry and ran over to hug Hu Jiaojiao's thighs and acted coquettishly.
"Be careful, mother is dirty, let go quickly, don't let the blood get on you."
Hu Jiaojiao still had medicine and bandages in her hands and could only persuade Long Linger verbally.
Long Linger shook her head, "Mom smells good, she's not dirty!"
Hu Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her eyes were full of doting.
Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, a hint of envy and inferiority flashed across Yin Cang's eyes. He pursed his lips, moved to the bedside, held Yin Gu's hand tightly, and squatted down.
"Mom, he is also injured. Can you help him?" Long Linger suddenly let go of her hand, pointed at Yin Cang who was moving secretly with one hand, and asked while pulling Hu Jiaojiao's skirt with the other hand.
It turned out that she had been paying attention to Yin Cang's movements.
"good."
Hu Jiaojiao agreed and looked at the little boy squatting next to Yin Gu.
He hadn't said a word since he woke up. It was obvious that he was a precocious cub, and he was very attentive and alert. She guessed that he might have been frightened, which led to his stress-induced defensive reaction.
"I'll help you stop the bleeding, don't be afraid." She tried to move closer slowly.
Hu Jiaojiao was prepared for Yin Cang's resistance, but she didn't expect that he would cooperate very well this time. Even when the animal skin in her hand touched his wound, he just gasped and didn't dodge.
She was a little surprised.
Then he carefully cleaned and bandaged his wound.
He waited until she finished bandaging the wound before he took a few steps back with his tense body.
Long Linger stood behind Hu Jiaojiao and raised her eyebrows at him, raising her chin with some pride, "So, I told you my mother is amazing."
Yin Cang glanced at her, then returned to guard Yin Gu without saying a word.
It was as if Yin Gu was his whole world.
"You little cub..." Long Linger frowned and pursed her lips. Looking at his pitiful appearance, she finally swallowed her complaining words.
Yin Gu was in so much pain that he didn't have the strength to speak. Even after taking the painkillers given by Hu Jiaojiao, the pain still penetrated his bones. The painkillers had no effect on the poison in his body.
He could only use the limited time he had to stare at Yin Cang and take in the entire scene.
"Have a good rest and tell me if you need anything." The chief looked at Yin Gu comfortingly, then asked the orcs to leave the cabin.
Before leaving, he sent two orcs to guard the door.
Saving lives is one thing, but we still have to be cautious.
Hu Jiaojiao completed the task and left holding Long Linger's hand.
Yin Cang raised his head and looked at the little girl's back. He wondered if Long Linger had noticed it and happened to look back.
Their eyes met, and Yin Cang quickly looked away.
There was a hint of embarrassment in the evasive look.
Yin Gu on the side seemed to have noticed something. He looked at him deeply, and a trace of worry flashed across his weak face.
"Ahem..."
Yin Gu suddenly started coughing, his chest shaking on the bed. Yin Cang immediately grabbed his hand nervously and looked over.
"I'm fine, don't worry..." Yin Gu said weakly, forcing a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if trying to comfort Yin Cang.
Little did he know that his smile was uglier than crying.
Yin Cang frowned, raised his right hand and quickly stroked the air in front of his chest twice.
"I'm really fine, I just choked..." Yin Gu saw what he meant, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You, don't frown all the time."
Yin Cang still looked solemn and ignored his words.
"Cang, do you want to stay here?"
Hearing Yin Gu's question, Yin Cang shook his head.
Yin Gu smiled, as if he didn't see his action, and murmured to himself, "It looks warm here. I also hope you can stay, but I'm afraid that you will cause trouble to this tribe..."
