Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the females shut up and stopped trying to find topics to talk about.
Everyone went back to digging for fruits in embarrassment.
Seeing Yin Cang’s face that seemed to be shrouded in gloom, Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
She knew they meant no harm in saying this, and other orcs would have thought the same thing, but to Yin Cang these words were like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward, looked at the females around her and said loudly:
"In my eyes, Yin Cang is no different from other cubs. As for who he and Ling'er will choose as their partners in the future, that is the choice the cubs will make in the future. I will not interfere, and I hope you will not joke about this kind of thing."
A light joke from an adult may become a thorn, permanently rooted in the heart of a young child.
Joking is never an excuse to hurt others.
The females didn't expect Hu Jiaojiao to be so frank, and they felt ashamed for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Fox Jiaojiao, we won't say such things again in the future."
"We were the ones who talked too much just now. We must not make jokes randomly next time."
The females also sincerely apologized to Hu Jiaojiao and expressed their attitudes.
A hint of surprise flashed across Yin Cang's gloomy eyes.
"Brother, you've taken it to heart. Mother won't dislike you for this!" Long Yao squatted on the ground and secretly took a few bites of the fruit, then hid it in his pocket, chewing while comforting him incoherently.
Yin Cang looked at Long Yao with confusion, not understanding why he said that.
Long Yao continued:
"My second brother is blind, and my third brother is disfigured, but my mother doesn't dislike them! So my mother will definitely treat my brothers well~"
Long Yao had a serious expression on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, he got a slap on the back of his head.
"Stupid Long! You're talking bad about me and my second brother behind our backs again. Your butt is itching again, right?" Long Zhong said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.
"Third brother, stop bullying Little Five all the time. He is still young." Long Xiu's gentle voice sounded.
Long Yao covered the back of his head and ran behind Long Xiu with grievance, "Woo woo, second brother is still the best, the eldest brother only knows how to bully me..."
He was crying when he heard Long Xiu say:
"The second and third brothers are disabled orcs, so share half of Xiaowu's snacks with us."
Long Yao was petrified instantly: "..."
Yin Cang watched the cubs playing in silence, and the depression in his heart suddenly didn't seem so painful.
They really don't consider themselves as different.
Although these kids often treated him badly, they never laughed at him for being mute.
Yin Cang suddenly understood something. What they were doing... was treating him like a normal orc!
"Yin Cang, don't think too much. They used to say that my father was a waste, but now my father is very powerful. You will definitely be very powerful in the future too!" Long Linger also comforted him.
She used to care a lot about what other orcs said.
But now she has a gentle mother, so she doesn't care what they say.
Looking at Long Linger's concerned expression, Yin Cang nodded and made up his mind secretly.
He will work hard to become stronger!
In another field.
Huang Yue also came to the field to dig up earth fruits.
She was a female outsider and had a bad relationship with others. No female was willing to join her. Only Baofeng dug for fruits with her.
Huang Yue had thin arms and legs, and was delicate and weak. After a while, she was sweating profusely and stopped to rest for a while.
Xiong Hua, who was digging fruits in the same field with her, saw it and made some sarcastic remarks.
"Why is she doing this job when she's so delicate? Just let her partner do it. It's just pretending..."
The female next to him also echoed:
"That's right. She took a break after digging a few earth fruits. I think she came here just to seduce the males."
"This doesn't look like work..."
Leopard Wind is also a popular figure in the tribe. Many females plan to find two new partners before winter comes. Leopard Wind is appreciated by the tribe leader and is their best option.
Now that she has been snatched away by Huang Yue, everyone dislikes her.
The clan leader knew this, so he did not tell the females Huang Yue's identity. He only told the males he trusted. No female would befriend her anyway.
The females deliberately did not lower their voices, and all of their conversations reached Huang Yue's ears.
Huang Yue clenched the tool in her hand. There was nothing unusual on her face, but the darkness in her eyes revealed her forbearance and restraint at the moment.
She couldn't get into conflict with these females.
"Huang Yue, my two baskets are full, leave these to me." Bao Feng came running over, took out the clean animal skin in his arms and wiped the sweat off Huang Yue's face.
Huang Yue frowned in disdain, raised her hand to block Bao Feng's action, and took the animal skin.
"Thank you for your hard work, Baofeng. I really don't know what I would do without you." The disgust on his face was quickly covered up by a gentle smile.
When Bao Feng heard this, he immediately smiled and scratched his ears in embarrassment, "It's nothing, Huang Yue, go and have a rest over there. I'll hand it over when I'm done digging, and then I'll take you home."
He pointed to an area covered with animal skins under a tree not far away.
Knowing that females like to be clean, he cleaned up the place for Huangyue to rest.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Baofeng." Huang Yue smiled tenderly, tapped his chest lightly with her fingers, stuffed the animal skin back into his hand, and turned to walk under the tree.
"It's not hard, hehe..."
Bao Feng was mesmerized by the smile and couldn't help grinning foolishly at Huang Yue's back.
"Tui! Little goblin!" Xiong Hua spat jealously and crushed her with her feet.
After a brief interlude, everyone regained their focus and continued to dig for fruits.
Huang Yue walked under the tree, looked back at Bao Feng who was working hard, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She looked around, and while no one was paying attention to her, she quietly walked into the woods in the distance.
Recently she has not been able to leave the tribe and has not been able to find a chance to be alone. Today she finally found an opportunity.
Although it is a little more difficult than delivering news outside the tribe, as long as there is enough time, she will definitely be able to deliver the tribe's news today.
at the same time.
On Hu Jiaojiao's side, Hu Min and Hu Jing would secretly put their own fruits into Hu Jiaojiao's basket from time to time.
Several kids also contributed a lot of local fruits.
When Hu Jiaojiao turned around to see how much was left in the basket, she saw two full baskets of local fruits and began to doubt her life.
"Mom, Tiger Crystal, did you put it in the wrong place?"
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at the empty basket behind them and asked in confusion.
"Ah!" Hu Min turned around, with an exaggerated look of surprise on his face, and answered the question irrelevantly: "Jiaojiao, you finished digging so quickly, go and have a rest after you finish digging!"
Hu Jing also acted along, "Oh... I don't seem to have much strength today, I only dug up this little bit of earth fruit."
Hu Jiaojiao's forehead was filled with black lines: "..."
Can you please act more realistically next time
"It's okay. I have a lot of energy today. Since I'm digging so fast, I'll finish digging with you guys!"
Hu Jiaojiao smiled gently, pretending not to see through the two's poor acting skills.
She glanced at the kids, who were all sweating profusely from digging and had also dug up a lot of fruits, so she said to them:
"Yin Cang, Yu'er, if you're tired, go play nearby."
“Yeah!”
Long Yao had wanted to escape for a long time, and when he heard this, he immediately staggered into the woods with a bag of fruits in his pocket.
