Long Linger pulled Long Zhong aside and whispered in his ear, "He can't speak, and his only relative just died. He's so pitiful."
Although she did not go out with Hu Jiaojiao today, she remembered the conversation she overheard in the wooden house yesterday and knew that Yin Gu must have died, which was why Hu Jiaojiao brought him back.
Hearing this, Long Zhong glanced at Yin Cang not far away with an inquiring look.
Seeing him holding a wooden box with a lifeless expression, Long Zhong curled his lips and said, "I can see that."
The dead are greater than the dead, so he doesn't bother with this cub.
After hearing what Long Linger said, Long Yu and Long Xiu on the side also restrained their hostility, but their eyes still looked at Yin Cang with alienation.
Somehow, I just don't like this cub.
"This is Yin Cang. He will live in our house from now on. Yin Cang is older than you, so Yaoer should call him brother." Hu Jiaojiao explained while hugging Long Yao.
After saying that, she turned around and introduced Yin Cang.
"Yin Cang, these are my five cubs, you two should get along well with each other from now on."
The last sentence was said to Long Yao.
Long Yao pouted his pink lips, looking unhappy, "Mom, why does he have to live in our house? Is he the child you gave birth to outside?"
Hu Jiaojiao was amused and tapped Long Yao on the forehead, "Mom only gave birth to you five siblings, how could there be other cubs?"
"Then why should I call him brother? Xiaowu doesn't want to call him brother." Long Yao covered his forehead with his hands in grievance.
"What do you want to be called?"
Long Yao glanced at Hu Jiaojiao quietly, covered his head and whispered: "I want him to leave."
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
"No." Hu Jiaojiao pinched Long Yao's nose, put him down, and took Yin Cang into the house.
Walking and introducing:
"This is my home. You will live here from now on. However, there is no room for you at home. You can live in the wooden house for a few days. There happens to be an empty warehouse. I will make a bed for you. It will be your room from now on."
She had to clean up the warehouse, prepare some furniture, and then let Yin Cang move in.
Yin Cang followed behind in silence, his eyes sweeping across the wooden house with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The houses of this tribe were so strange, he had never seen them before.
They actually use stones to build houses. Aren’t they afraid that the stones will fall and kill people
Hu Jiaojiao took Yin Cang to familiarize himself with the stone house and the room given to him, and then took him to the wooden house where he used to live.
They had just moved in, and the wooden house was still clean, though a little shabby, which did not affect their livability.
Hu Jiaojiao made a straw bed for him and took a piece of animal skin as a quilt before letting Yin Cang, who was outside, into the house.
"Okay, Yin Cang, you stay here for the next few days. I'll help you move in once the room is ready."
When Yin Cang walked into the wooden house and saw the neatly made and clean bed, he was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect Hu Jiaojiao to take such meticulous care of him.
He held the urn in a daze for a moment, then shook his head.
He freed one hand and waved it, indicating to Hu Jiaojiao that there was no need to prepare a room for him, as it was enough for him to live here.
In the past, in other tribes, even living in a wooden house like this was a luxury for him.
Because he and his brother were outsider orcs, at first they could only live in abandoned wooden houses or caves. Later, his brother was able to build a wooden house. They finally moved into the new wooden house, but it was often smashed by stones by the orcs in the tribe.
As soon as my brother repaired it, orcs would come and smash it.
It would be fine if they were not in the wooden house, they just had to repair the wooden house. If they were in the wooden house, they would be hit by stones and wood and get injured and bleed.
Over time, they simply lived in the dilapidated wooden house.
"Just stay here and don't worry about the room. There's an empty room at home. Since I promised your brother to take care of you, I won't let you suffer."
Fox smiled tenderly and patted his shoulder gently.
"Although you are not my biological child, but whatever my children have, you will have a share in the future."
The thing she has the most is supplies.
Yin Cang pursed his lips, lowered his head, put down the urn, bowed to Hu Jiaojiao and expressed his gratitude.
The long hair covered her cheeks and the mist rising from her eyes.
In the evening, when Long Mo came back, he was stunned when he saw Yin Cang in the yard, as if he didn't expect him to come so soon. When he saw the look from Hu Jiaojiao who had just walked out of the door, he immediately understood, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Hu Jiaojiao told him what happened today and also said that she was going to convert the warehouse into a room.
"Okay, I'll do it."
Long Mo agreed without saying a word.
He killed the prey he brought back today, cut it into pieces that Hu Jiaojiao could lift, and moved all of it into the kitchen. While Hu Jiaojiao was cooking dinner, he went to the tribe to transport back the stones needed to renovate the room.
The warehouse is clean. All you need to do is open a window, build a kang, and put in furniture such as tables, chairs, and wardrobes.
Hu Jiaojiao had prepared dinner. Long Yao could smell the aroma without being called. He sat down at the dining table with his brothers and sisters.
She went to the cabin and called Yin Cang as well.
Afraid that Yin Cang would not get used to it, Hu Jiaojiao deliberately let him sit next to her so that she could take care of him more easily.
Except for Long Linger, the other four cubs looked at Yin Cang's seat with dissatisfaction.
Damn you little cub! He took over my mother right away!
One cub took up half of the mother, and the father took up the other half, so neither of them could get close to their mother.
Long Linger sat on the other side of Yin Cang, and didn't have much objection to Yin Cang's seat.
Females are more delicate and can empathize with Yin Cang's experience. In addition, Yin Cang is still injured, so Long Linger just feels that he is pitiful.
Even though this "poor" cub was five years older than her and even more than a head taller than her.
"What are you all sitting here for? Aren't you going to eat?"
Fox Jiaojiao glanced at the motionless cubs and asked in confusion.
Long Yao smacked his lips twice, unable to resist the temptation of the delicious food, and immediately shifted his attention to the bowl.
Only when you are full will you have the energy to hate this cub.
The little meaty hand held the spoon and took one mouthful after another, and his cheeks suddenly bulged...
The kids nearby saw this scene, looked away with disdain, and silently picked up their chopsticks.
The cubs have a strong learning ability and they have already learned to use chopsticks, except that Long Yao's fingers are too short to hold the chopsticks steadily and he can only use a spoon.
Hu Jiaojiao also prepared a spoon for Yin Cang.
"Yin Cang, eat quickly. Don't be polite. If it's not enough, there's still plenty."
Seeing Yin Cang sitting at the table without moving, Hu Jiaojiao thought that it was inconvenient for him to use the spoon, so she picked up a few pieces of meat for him.
Yin Cang looked at the meat in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He hadn't eaten cooked meat for a long time. There was no fire in the forest, so he and his brother had always eaten raw meat.
The meat smelled better than any meat he had ever eaten before.
Long Linger looked at Yin Cang with a smile and urged:
"Try it now. The meat my mother cooks is delicious. I guarantee you'll want more."
