Hearing this, Hu Min glanced outside the house, and then explained with an indifferent expression:
"Outside... it's Lu Li's mother."
"She was reluctant to go and work when we were harvesting the earth fruits. The tribe leader told her at the time that if she didn't work, she wouldn't get any earth fruits. Now that winter is coming, she's pestering the tribe leader for earth fruits and throwing a tantrum."
"I have never seen such a shameless female. She is no better than a cub at her age..."
Hu Min explained and complained at the same time.
After listening to Hu Min's words, Hu Jiaojiao had a general understanding.
It turned out that the mother deer didn't want to work and wanted to eat for free.
In the past, Mother Deer would occasionally join the picking team, but she never took part in the harvesting of the wild fruits grown in the fields. Father Deer was useless and the stored food was not enough to survive the winter.
She had no choice but to shamelessly act like a scoundrel to the clan leader.
"This is truly something a deer mother could do." Hu Jiaojiao clicked her tongue twice and didn't ask any more questions.
After saying goodbye to Hu Min and Hu Qiang, I walked towards home.
Not long after she walked out, she saw the mother deer and the clan leader.
"Lu Li's mother, I have told you many times that everything today is your own choice. If you stop me here, I will not have any earth fruit to give you."
The patriarch was talking to the deer mother with a stern face.
He had just arranged the affairs of the tribe and was heading home when he was stopped by a mother deer who showed up on the way. The other party was a female and was very persistent. He could not get away for the time being and could only waste time with her outside.
"Chief, are you going to watch my family starve to death? The tribe has harvested so many wild fruits, what's wrong with you giving me some..."
The mother deer grabbed the chief's arm and refused to let him go.
The clan leader's face darkened.
"Those wild fruits were grown by other orcs with great effort. Your family didn't do any work, so why should they be given to you?"
"Planting a little is planting, planting more is also planting, can't you just think of it as helping me plant?" The mother deer said as a matter of course.
The shamelessness is shown to the fullest.
Seeing the tribe leader's unhappy expression, she probably knew that she couldn't get the earth fruit, so she had to settle for the next best thing.
"Even if there is no earth fruit, it would be fine if you could give us 500 kilograms of charcoal!"
Because she was lazy and gluttonous, her house had no supplies.
The clan leader's face turned completely gloomy.
He had been quite tolerant towards the Deer Mother, and other supplies were distributed unconditionally, but these were obtained through the labor of other orcs.
If we give it to the mother deer today, and the other orcs follow suit tomorrow and don't work, and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, who will be willing to work
"Nothing! Nothing at all!"
The clan leader pulled her away with a cold face, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
The mother deer was not willing to let him go and wanted to continue to pester him.
"Chief." At this time, Hu Jiaojiao called out and walked over quickly.
When he saw Fox Jiaojiao, the tribe leader's expression eased a little, "Jiaojiao, why are you out when it's snowing? Go back quickly, it's cold outside and don't freeze."
He was afraid that the deer mother would also cause trouble for Hu Jiaojiao, so he sent Hu Jiaojiao away first.
Unexpectedly, when the mother deer saw Fox Jiaojiao, she trembled all over like a mouse seeing a cat and took several steps back.
He didn't even dare to look at Hu Jiaojiao.
Ever since the last incident, she had been traumatized by Hu Jiaojiao's family. On the one hand, she was afraid of them, and on the other hand, she resented Hu Jiaojiao's cruelty. Therefore, she was not enthusiastic about Hu Jiaojiao's suggestions of burning charcoal, smoking meat, and collecting earth fruits.
Or even not do it at all.
The mother deer thought that since she was a female, the chief would not let her starve to death, and she could still enjoy the tribe’s supplies even if she didn’t do anything.
He completely ignored the patriarch's repeated reminders.
So much so that now the homes of other orcs are full of supplies, but her home is just a broken wooden house, empty and without even a decent animal skin.
"It's okay, Patriarch."
Fox walked over with a coquettish smile, turned to look at the deer mother, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"You want earth fruit and charcoal?"
The mother deer didn't dare to say anything, as she still had some thoughts in her mind.
Maybe Hu Jiaojiao would suddenly feel kind and give her some earth fruit.
"Jiaojiao, you can't give it to her." The tribe leader on the side became anxious and said nervously, fearing that Fox Jiaojiao would be deceived by the pitiful appearance of the deer mother.
Hu Jiaojiao sneered and clenched her fist, making a creaking sound. "You can have it if you want, but you have to pay a price. Don't blame me if you lose an arm or a leg."
Hearing this, the mother deer immediately shook her head like a rattle and backed away waving her hands.
The trauma of being beaten by Long Mo is still vivid in his mind.
"No, no, I don't want anything. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
No matter what kind of fruit or charcoal you have, they are not as important as life.
The patriarch was stunned.
When did the mother deer become so easy to talk to
Jiaojiao actually made her leave obediently with just a few words.
"Chief, the weather is getting cold. You should go back soon. It's time for me to go home too." Hu Jiaojiao's voice brought the chief back to his senses.
The patriarch was still wearing short clothes and hadn't had time to change into thicker clothes. If a male wears so little in winter, he will get sick.
"Well, okay." The patriarch nodded with a smile.
He knew that Hu Jiaojiao was helping him.
The chief had no partner and no stone house, so he immediately moved into the cave with a group of males without partners.
Fortunately, their supplies had already been moved into the cave a long time ago, so they didn't have to rush to move the supplies and could just move in directly.
After Deer Mother returned, she also moved into the cave with Deer Father and Lu Li.
He kept cursing all the way, taking out all the anger he had suffered from Hu Jiaojiao on Lu's father.
"Why did I find a useless male like you? You can't hunt or build a stone house!"
"Other females live in stone houses, but I have to live in a cave with you males. Why am I so unlucky..."
Lu's father has also been feeling very frustrated recently.
He was weak and could rely on Ying Yuan and Lu Mian'er for support before, but now Lu Mian'er no longer supports him and the orcs in the tribe are unwilling to teach him how to build a stone house. After one autumn, there is no food left in the family.
Any sound in the cave can be amplified infinitely.
The mother deer's scolding attracted many males to watch the fun.
"Scold! You just know how to curse!"
The deer father felt as if his face was being crushed on the ground by the deer mother. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly roared and exploded.
"You are the same, aren't you? Other females are collecting earth fruits, why don't you go and collect them? If you hadn't allowed Lu Li to offend Hu Jiaojiao, would I not be able to build a stone house and make charcoal?"
"You! How dare you talk back!" The mother deer widened her eyes in disbelief.
She suddenly became angry and rushed forward to wrestle with Lu's father.
Soon, a kind male came up and pulled them apart.
Both of them had bruised faces and noses, and blood was flowing all over the floor.
After the fight, the mother deer realized that she seemed to have forgotten something. She turned around and saw that Lu Li had already hidden in the corner and had eaten up the only ten pounds of meat they had left.
He was sucking his fingers, still not satisfied.
The mother deer wailed and sat down on the ground.
"Ah! This is our last food..."
