Long Yao was getting angry when he suddenly saw a hand appear in front of him, holding a big, plump, white egg.
His eyes suddenly brightened, and all the resentment he had just felt disappeared. He used his hands and feet to get up from the ground and reached out to grab the big egg.
Then he raised his head and looked at Yin Cang.
"Can I eat this?" Long Yao blinked, his red eyes revealing anticipation and excitement.
Yin Cang nodded with a stern face.
The food for the morning was porridge and eggs. He couldn't bear to eat them, so he hid the eggs.
"Brother! You must be Xiaowu's biological brother!" Long Yao jumped up excitedly, and without saying a word, he took the egg and knocked it against the wall a few times, then began to peel the egg and eat it.
This older brother lives in their house and is a family member, not an outsider, so they can eat the food he gives them.
Looking at Long Yao's innocent smile, Yin Cang's tense face gradually relaxed.
Long Yao's chubby little hands were very dexterous. He peeled the egg in just a few strokes, stuffed it into his mouth in two bites, and chewed it with his cheeks puffed up.
The egg in his hand was gone, and he turned around and looked at Yin Cang with sparkling eyes, full of expectation:
"Anything else..."
Yin Cang took two steps back and subconsciously wanted to cover his pockets with his hands, but he controlled himself and did not move. He shook his head at Long Yao to indicate that there was no more.
The light in Long Yao's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, he remembered something, hugged Yin Cang's legs and grinned at him ingratiatingly, "Brother, can you take Xiaowu to pick fruit? Xiaowu wants to eat fruit..."
He remembered that there were several fruit trees in the tribe. In order to save the fruits of the tribe until winter, everyone would usually pick the fruits of the tribe last.
Long Yao has been eyeing the food for a long time. Usually, with four cubs watching, he has no chance to steal any. Now, Yin Cang is the only one around him, and he doesn't know the rules of the tribe, so it's a good opportunity to drag him into the trap.
Yin Cang still doesn’t know Long Yao’s little thoughts.
He had never been hugged and acted like a spoiled child like this before, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded in agreement without thinking.
It was not until he was dragged by Long Yao to the fruit tree that he realized what he had agreed to.
Looking at the fruit tree in front of him that was taller than Hu Jiaojiao's stone house, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
"Brother, can I pick them? Xiaowu wants to eat the fruits on them." Long Yao grabbed Yin Cang's animal skin skirt, shaking his chubby hands, and asked with a silly smile while baring his teeth.
"… "
Yin Cang was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
Looking at this little cub, he was reminded of the time when he was with his brother.
What's more, Hu Jiaojiao was so good to him, how could he have the nerve to refuse Long Yao even if he wanted to pick a fruit.
Under Long Yao's expectant gaze, Yin Cang began to climb the tree.
He was thin but his movements were agile and powerful. He quickly climbed halfway up. Climbing the tree was not difficult for him. Just as he continued to climb up, he heard the screams of several cubs not far away.
"Who's picking the fruit there?"
"Come down quickly! You are not allowed to pick the fruits of the tribe!"
Several cubs ran out from behind the bushes, screaming loudly.
"It's over, we've been discovered..."
Long Yao was startled, and he covered his head and tried to run away, but then he remembered that Yin Cang was still on the tree, so he ran two steps and then retreated back, shouting to Yin Cang on the tree:
"Brother, run!"
When the cubs saw that it was Long Yao who was here, they all thought of the fear of being dominated by his mother. They all paused, thinking that the person in the tree was also one of Hu Jiaojiao's cubs.
When he looked up, he saw a strange cub.
"Who is that?"
One of the cubs asked, looking down.
"I heard that he just came to the tribe. His brother died, so he moved into Long Yao's house..."
The cub next to him explained.
“So they are cubs from outside…” Several cubs looked at each other, laughed evilly, and suddenly passed Long Yao and surrounded the area under the tree.
Long Yao and his men didn't dare to provoke him, but they were not afraid of this outsider.
"Hey! Boy, do you know that this is the fruit tree of our tribe? These fruits are not for you to eat. You are not allowed to come here in the future. Do you hear me?"
"That's right. We are not willing to pick the fruits. Why do you want to pick the fruits of our tribe?"
As soon as Yin Cang came down, he was blocked by four or five cubs.
There were several cubs who were about the same age as him, all of them were fat and big-eared, and each of them was twice as strong as Yin Cang, as if they could knock him down with just one punch.
Seeing that Yin Cang didn't say anything, one of the cubs said dissatisfiedly:
"Hey! We're talking to you! Are you mute?"
The cub beside him pulled him and leaned closer to explain, "He seems to be really dumb and can't speak..."
Hearing this, several cubs looked Yin Cang up and down, then pointed at his nose and shouted mockingly:
"So he's a mute! Hahaha..."
"You can't even speak, you're really useless. No wonder you were able to live in their house, you're exactly like them..."
Several cubs looked at Yin Cang mockingly.
Yin Cang frowned. He was used to such words. What made him frown was the cubs' next words.
What does it mean to be like them
Are they referring to Hu Jiaojiao’s cubs
"You! You big bad guys!" Long Yao's short legs were stopped outside. When he heard what they said, he stomped his feet in anger.
Waving his fist, he rushed over to rescue Yin Cang, "Brother, don't be afraid, Xiao Wu is here to save you!"
The short legs stomped on the ground, and it bared its teeth with a ferocious expression on its face, like a "ferocious" little dinosaur.
Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, he tripped over his right foot out of habit and fell forward with a thud.
A few cubs heard the sound and turned around, only to see Long Yao rushing towards them.
They didn't dare to let Long Yao get hurt, so they stretched out their hands to catch him. However, Long Yao grabbed the crotch of one of the cubs with his claws, and then staggered a few steps and stepped on the toes of another cub.
"hiss!"
“Ouch!”
Two screams were heard.
One cub was bending over and covering his crotch, while the other one was jumping around holding his feet, both with the same painful expression.
Long Yao turned around dizzy and fell directly on the other cubs.
The cubs were all wiped out and lay dead on the ground.
Yin Cang was completely stunned, looking at the scene in dumbfounded expression.
Is Long Yao so powerful
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak little fat boy would stand up to protect himself when he was besieged.
Yin Cang felt touched. This family was indeed full of kind animals!
He must repay them well in the future!
"Huh? Why doesn't it hurt?" Long Yao rubbed his butt, sat up from the ground, with a look of surprise on his face.
The ground is full of broken stones, and it would be very painful if you fell.
"We are in pain..." The cub under him cried and raised his hands, "Why don't you get up quickly."
Long Yao realized it later and scratched his head in embarrassment. He climbed up using his hands and feet, and looked at Yin Cang worriedly.
Seeing that he was fine, Long Yao relaxed.
Fortunately, Yin Cang was fine. If he had been beaten, his mother would have found out, and then the fact that he brought Yin Cang to pick fruit would have been exposed.
“Huh…” He patted his chest with his chubby hands in a very professional manner to calm himself down.
