Hu Jiaojiao looked down and saw a stone bottle the size of a palm. There was a thin piece of animal skin between the bottle cap and the bottle body. It seemed to be filled with hot water and it was very warm in her hand.
Because of the animal skin, the water inside will not leak out.
"Did you do this?" Hu Jiaojiao was a little surprised.
This small stone bottle has the same structure as the stone jar she uses to store fruit wine, and the bottle cap is finely polished and can be screwed on.
But because it was handmade, the fit was not that perfect and a little water leaked out. So she thought of a way to cover it with a layer of waterproof animal skin to prevent leakage.
I think Long Mo secretly made it according to the stone jar.
"Yeah." Long Mo nodded and took Hu Jiaojiao's hand and put it into the animal skin on his chest.
"Your hands are all red from the cold. Warm them up."
The low, mellow voice revealed a hint of heartache.
"It's not that cold, you can warm your hands with a bottle." Hu Jiaojiao smiled and spoke softly. She wanted to take her hand out, but Long Mo held her wrist.
"You're cold." She has no say in whether you're cold or not.
Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to obey, and her cold hands soon warmed up.
Long Zhong rubbed his hands, looked up and said rudely, "Daddy, my hands are cold too..."
"There is a brazier in the room, go and warm yourself by fire." Long Mo said without turning his head.
A few kids giggled, blew some hot air into their palms, and ran into the house.
Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo followed in and closed the door.
In the evening, after dinner, Hu Jiaojiao took the cubs back to the room to sleep, but the door was quietly opened and a slender figure walked out.
Under the moonlight, Long Mo's cold face was full of seriousness.
He walked into the yard, looked at several beautiful and neat snowmen, then looked at the ugly and crooked snowman that belonged to him, and personally corrected the snowman to make it look better.
While making the snowman, he kept looking back to be on guard against the people in the house.
Half an hour later, Long Mo clapped his hands and looked at the tall and handsome snowman with a satisfied expression.
He glanced at the other snowmen, narrowed his eyes, rolled up his sleeves and moved the six snowmen of the cubs aside, leaving only his own snowman next to Hu Jiaojiao's snowman.
After doing all this, he turned around and sneaked back into the house and closed the door.
"Long Mo, what were you doing just now?" When Hu Jiaojiao returned to the room, she found that Long Mo was not there. She saw him coming back slowly after she finished washing up.
"I didn't do anything." Long Mo replied calmly, "I just checked to see if the door was closed tightly, in case there was a draft in at night."
"Oh." Hu Jiaojiao nodded without thinking too much.
Under Hu Jiaojiao's strong protest, we finally didn't take a bath tonight.
The next day.
At dawn, a loud noise was heard outside the tribe, waking up Hu Jiaojiao.
When she opened her eyes, Long Mo had already sat up from the bed, his stern face filled with a solemn and vigilant expression. He was looking out the window, in the direction of the tribe's entrance.
"Are those wolf orcs coming?"
Hu Jiaojiao also frowned, quickly got up, put on her clothes, and looked out the window.
At this time, the entire sky was still dark blue, like a deep and endless sea. In the distance, it seemed that a small gray-red cloud could be seen on the horizon.
It was the fire caused by the explosion.
Hu Jiaojiao was even more certain that an orc had stepped on her explosive pack.
"It should be." Long Mo looked serious, turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao softly, and said:
"You and the cubs stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'm going to find the tribe leader."
The tribe was attacked. Such an important matter must be told to the chief first.
There are traps set up outside the tribe, so the enemy cannot get in for a while. At least they are safe in the stone house for the time being.
"Well, go quickly and come back soon. Don't worry about us." Hu Jiaojiao nodded, helped Long Mo tie his coat, and watched him go out.
Downstairs, several kids also heard the noise and gathered in the living room.
The five cubs didn't know what was going on and looked confused. Only Yin Cang had a serious expression. His hands were clenched tightly, and his palms were sweating from nervousness.
It's the wolf orcs...
Here they come again.
Will this tribe be conquered by them like before
It was not until they saw Long Mo walking out with a bad look on his face that the five cubs realized something was wrong.
"Mom, did something happen outside?" Long Linger grabbed Hu Jiaojiao's clothes, her sweet voice revealing a bit of worry.
Long Yu and others also looked at Hu Jiaojiao worriedly, with somewhat nervous expressions.
They had also experienced attacks on their tribe, and several times the tribe's supplies were nearly stolen. It was the tribe leader and Ying Yuan who drove away the orcs who wanted to steal the supplies.
Except for Long Yao, the other kids all remember these things.
The only one who was not awake, Long Yao rubbed his eyes, and sleepily grabbed the other side of Hu Jiaojiao's clothes, and asked in a vague voice:
"Mom, what was that noise just now? It was so loud..."
"Outside, there is a group of orcs who want to visit our tribe. They were just notifying us." Hu Jiaojiao rubbed Long Yao's head, trying to make her voice sound soft so as not to scare the baby.
Several kids frowned at the same time.
Mother is lying to the three-year-old kid!
"Are there any guests coming to the tribe?" Long Yao blinked, looking curious, "Then should I go and greet the guests?"
"No need, mother and the uncles in the tribe have already prepared gifts for them." Hu Jiaojiao replied with a gentle smile.
"Gift?" The cubs looked at each other and realized that their mother seemed to have something else to say.
…
at the same time.
Outside the tribe, a group of wolf orcs stopped at the edge of the forest.
"Chief, the tribe is ahead." A Gray Wolf Orc pointed in the direction of the tribe and said respectfully to Lang Shuo.
Lang Shuo was wearing thick animal skins and was carried by four orcs on a black board made of unknown material. He was lazily supporting his head with one hand, as if he was out traveling.
Hearing the voice, he looked in the direction the wolf orc pointed and ordered in a light voice:
"What are you waiting for? Go and take down this tribe for me."
Langmie smiled flatteringly at the side, "Chief, this tribe has no sense of defense. We can capture it in a short while. I will take them there right away."
He could conquer several small, unconscious tribes like this one in a day.
I don’t know why Mr. Wu takes it so seriously.
Lang Shuo raised his chin and motioned him to go quickly.
Langmie chuckled, then turned around and frowned again, calling a few orcs over.
"You take two pairs of men and come with me."
There is no need for all of them to go out to deal with such a small tribe.
At Langmie's command, a group of silver wolf beasts immediately stood up and rushed towards the tribe ferociously.
But the next second.
The wolves that stepped into the snow let out screams one after another, and then fell down in the snow.
Countless bloodstains suddenly appeared on the silvery white snow, like bright roses blooming on the snow...
