The small hoe was stepped on and bounced up, hitting the back of Long Yao's head with a "bang".
“Ouch!”
Long Yao cried out in pain, threw the fruit in his hand away, and used his free hand to cover the back of his head.
The earth fruit drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit Long Linger who was concentrating on digging earth fruits not far away.
"Ling'er! Be careful!"
Long Yu was the first to notice the flying earth fruit. His face changed, but by the time he reacted and reminded Long Ling'er, it was too late.
At this moment, a thin figure stood in front of Long Linger and blocked the earth fruit with his back.
"Bang!"
The hard earth fruit hit Yin Cang's back, and the pain made his face turn pale.
Long Linger also saw the earth fruit that hit Yin Cang, and a hint of nervousness suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
"Yin Cang, are you okay?" She hurriedly supported him.
Yin Cang shook his head and slowly straightened his back.
It was just a hit. He had been injured much more seriously before, so he wasn't that pretentious.
Several cubs also gathered around. When Long Xiu looked at Yin Cang, a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if he had discovered something.
Long Yu helped check Yin Cang's injuries with concern, "Luckily it's just dirt fruit, Yin Cang, thank you for helping Ling'er block the dirt fruit."
"This earth fruit weighs several kilograms. If it hits Ling'er on the head, Ling'er will probably become a fool."
Long Zhong curled his lips and looked at Long Yao who was tiptoeing towards Hu Jiaojiao.
Long Yao suddenly felt a chill on his back, his whole body straightened up, and he turned around like a robot.
Covering her head and smiling awkwardly, she apologized in a weak voice:
"It's my fault! I'm sorry, Fourth Sister and Brother. I didn't mean it..."
Xiaowu’s head also hurts, but he doesn’t dare to say it, wuwuwu…
Yin Cang waved his hand to show that he didn't care much.
Long Yu and Long Zhong originally had aversion to Yin Cang, but after this incident, they began to like him a lot more.
"Xiaowu, it's okay. Be careful next time. Don't dig the wild fruits anymore. Help put the wild fruits into mother's basket." Long Yu comforted Long Yao.
“Ouch!”
Long Yao nodded immediately, and ran to move the fruits.
This little episode here did not attract the attention of the orcs.
Long Yao, who was staggering back and forth with the earth fruit in his arms, attracted the attention of the orcs.
"Jiaojiao, your kids are really sensible. They even come to help you with the work."
"Your Long Yao is so hardworking at such a young age. I really envy him!"
"My kids are like cows. They move when you whip them, but they won't help if you don't whip them..."
The female on the side couldn't help but say enviously.
Who wouldn’t like such a well-behaved and sensible cub!
Hu Jiaojiao smiled, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Hu Min's proud voice.
"That's right! Don't you see who gave birth to this child? My Jiaojiao's child inherited Jiaojiao's good qualities. He has been sensible and obedient since he was young, and he is diligent and hardworking..."
Fox Min, who had just been bending over to dig for fruits, had stood up at some point, with his hands on his hips, looking as if he was planning to show off to the females.
As Hu Jiaojiao was listening, she happened to see Long Yao stealthily taking out a small earth fruit from the basket, looking around, and then quietly putting it into his pocket...
Hu Jiaojiao: "..." This is not her inheritance.
“Jiaojiao, I didn’t expect that the little cub you adopted was so clean and handsome!”
The one who was speaking was Hou Xiang, with two little monkeys lying on her shoulders. The little monkeys were very clingy to her, and it was very hard for her to work with her, so she had to straighten up and pound her waist from time to time.
In the past, she would have been exhausted from working with her two children.
In the past few months, she has lost a lot of weight by following the method taught by Hu Jiaojiao. Now she can be considered plump at best, and is completely different from her previous fat appearance.
For this, Hou Xiang also gave Hu Jiaojiao several thick animal skins as a token of gratitude.
After hearing Hou Xiang's words, the other females also turned their attention to Yin Cang.
They all showed surprised expressions.
"Hu Jiaojiao, is this the cub you adopted?"
"You can't tell that it's the dirty, skinny cub from that day. I thought they were two beasts..."
"This cub is really handsome, and I think he's very strong too. He will definitely be very powerful in the future!"
The females were all a little envious.
I originally thought it was just a cub that ate for free, but I didn't expect that after being raised by Fox Jiaojiao, it became clean and decent, and was willing to come to work.
They are even more obedient than their own children!
"Well, Yincang is a good cub."
Fox smiled tenderly and agreed one by one.
Yin Cang, who was not far away, couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard what the females said.
This is the first time an orc has given him such an evaluation...
In the past, the orcs in the tribe either beat or scolded him, saying that he was a burden to his brother and that if it weren't for him, his brother would have found a partner long ago.
This was the first time the words in my ears were not filled with malice.
That female actually praised him in front of outsiders.
This gave him the illusion that he was truly accepted and accepted by the tribe.
"I say, Long Ling'er seems to get along well with him, and they are not much different in age. Hu Jiaojiao, are you planning to raise him as a companion for Long Ling'er?"
At this time, the middle-aged female asked Hu Jiaojiao with a gossipy look on her face.
Yin Cang's ears turned red unexpectedly, and the small hoe in his hand accidentally dug up a local fruit, cutting it in half.
"Brother, you ruined the fruit!"
Long Yao seemed to have received a signal, and ran over to pick up the earth fruit that was split into two halves.
He didn't notice Yin Cang's abnormality at all, and said seriously:
"Xiaowu, help your brother take away the bad fruits."
Yin Cang stood there nervously without moving, which was considered as his agreement.
Long Yu and the others glanced at Yin Cang dangerously, and their eyes suddenly showed wariness.
Could it be that this boy likes Ling'er
As soon as the female finished speaking, the female next to her poked her arm with her hand, "Shh! You are the only one with a big mouth, don't talk nonsense..."
"Is there anything hidden from us? They are a perfect match." The female looked puzzled.
Their mixed tribe has no requirements for bloodline, and they only look at strength when looking for a partner.
"Shut up! Have you forgotten that the cub is a dumb, disabled orc who can't speak... How could Hu Jiaojiao hand Long Ling'er over to him..."
In the orc world, disabled orcs are a very shameful existence.
After hearing this, the female finally remembered and quickly covered her mouth.
The joy that had just risen in Yin Cang's heart was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water.
He seemed to be thrown into an ice cellar, with all exits blocked, and he was trapped in that cold place forever.
The female's last words, "How could Hu Jiaojiao hand Long Ling'er over to him?" kept echoing in his ears, as if reminding him that he would never be truly accepted by the orcs.
Yin Cang lowered his eyes and clenched and unclenched his fists.
yes.
He's just a cripple...
