The three kids looked towards the door nervously.
A dark shadow swooped in and circled around them.
"Is Xiaowu back? Why is there a strange smell..."
Long Xiu heard the noise and quickly identified it as Long Yao.
It's just that this smell is a little off...
"It's Xiaowu. He has diarrhea today." Long Linger pinched her nose with one hand and grabbed Long Yao's body with the other, dragging him out the door. "Xiaowu, you stink. Go wash yourself quickly, or your mother won't let you eat meat today..."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Long Xiu, who was carefully sniffing the smell in the air, suddenly froze and coughed violently a few times.
Long Yu walked in and covered his nose skillfully.
Seeing that there was no one behind Long Yu, Long Linger was about to ask why she didn't see her mother, when a foxy voice came from outside the door, "Children, mother is back, and second uncle is here to see you too."
Second uncle!
It’s that good-looking second uncle the fox who always comes to deliver food but lets them just watch and smell the fragrance!
The five cubs frowned at the same time.
They didn't have any good feelings towards Hu Qinggao, oh no, they didn't have any good feelings towards the entire family of vicious females.
The five cubs chose to stay in the cabin and not go out.
Hu Jiaojiao was fast and when she came back she just saw Long Yu entering the house. Knowing that they didn't want to come out, she took Hu Qinggao into the yard to look at the meat first.
"Are these the prey caught by that loser Long Mo?"
When Hu Qinggao saw the piles of meat hanging in the yard, he was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close.
When his parents went back yesterday, they told him about this matter. He and his third and fourth brothers didn't believe it. They didn't expect it to be true.
"Second brother, Long Mo is not a waste. Don't talk about him like that anymore."
Hu Jiaojiao corrected with a serious face.
But don't let the villain hear it, otherwise she will die miserably.
"Okay, okay, I won't call him trash anymore."
The doting fox Qinggao changed his words unconditionally and suddenly asked, "Then why did he only send a little prey back each time before? Did he deliberately bully you?"
"No, second brother, he also sent back a lot of prey in the past, but they were all hidden by the orcs in the tribe. I found out yesterday and asked them to return them."
Hu Jiaojiao told Hu Qinggao what happened yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Hu Qinggao's face was instantly filled with anger.
"Who is it? Who is so bold as to steal your prey? I'm going to break their legs!"
The handsome man suddenly turned into a grumpy old man.
Hu Jiaojiao pulled him back with an embarrassed smile, "Brother, it's okay. They won't dare to do that again."
The most important things right now are the cubs and her original body's family. She doesn't want to cause trouble and get herself into trouble because of the mess left behind by her original body, but if these orcs bully her in the future, she will not swallow her anger.
After much persuasion, Hu Qinggao was finally persuaded to stay.
Hu Qinggao insisted on keeping the three pheasants.
Listening to the clucking of the pheasant, the five cubs poked their heads out of the wooden house. Long Zhong stared at the pheasant without blinking, and his throat rolled from time to time.
Hu Jiaojiao also saw Long Zhong's reaction.
As she was wondering, she suddenly thought of something.
By the way, Long Zhong is the only fox cub among the five cubs, and foxes... seem to like eating chickens.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, so she didn't refuse and accepted the pheasant, but she also gave Hu Qinggao a large piece of meat and asked him to take it back.
Knowing that Hu Jiaojiao had no shortage of food, Hu Qinggao no longer was polite to her.
This is the meat given to him by his little sister. He will be so jealous of those three when he goes back.
Just as he was about to leave, Hu Qinggao suddenly saw several pieces of animal skins hanging behind the meat.
The voice asked hesitantly, "Little sister, what are you doing hanging up the animal skins?"
Hu Jiaojiao took a look and found that it was the animal skin that had been washed yesterday.
"Oh, I want to dry them and make clothes for the cubs."
A total of six skins were peeled off yesterday. Except for the one she peeled herself which was incomplete due to technical problems, and the white fox's skin which was damaged, the others were all intact.
The kids are small, so they are enough to make clothes.
Hu Qinggao looked strange.
“Little sister… animal hides are not tanned like this. If you dry them like this, the hides will become hard and difficult to wear.” He explained with a bit of amusement.
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned, and the smile on her face froze a little, "Is that so..."
She quickly touched the animal skin, and it was just as Hu Qinggao said, hard, and not at all the soft animal skin she was wearing.
Fox Jiaojiao frowned and looked a little gloomy. If she had known earlier, she would have asked the orcs here how to tan animal hides...
She thought the animal skins could be used after being washed.
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao looked unhappy, Hu Qinggao quickly comforted her, "It's okay, little sister, it's just a few animal skins, if they are broken, they are broken. What animal skin do you want, your second brother will send it to you in a few days!"
"Thank you, brother. No thanks. Next time, please teach me how to tan animal hides!"
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head. She didn't want to be a freeloader like her original self.
Since she doesn't know how to do it, she will just remember the lesson and learn.
"Okay!" Hu Qinggao nodded repeatedly, not expecting Hu Jiaojiao to be interested in these things.
After seeing Hu Qinggao off, Hu Jiaojiao touched the hard animal skin and still felt a little regretful.
However, although these animal skins cannot be used to make clothes, they can be used to make a few pairs of shoes. The orcs here don’t seem to wear shoes, and she and several of the cubs are barefoot.
She was not used to not wearing shoes.
She did what she said. While the cubs were out playing, Hu Jiaojiao entered the space, found the needle and thread, and started making shoes with animal skins according to her memory of watching her grandmother sew soles in the village when she was a child.
In addition to needle and thread, she also found cloth. After thinking about it, Hu Jiaojiao decided to use softer cloth to make the lining of the shoes and then wrap the animal skin on the outside. This way, it would be soft and comfortable, and the appearance would not arouse suspicion.
The original body had never worked before. Her fingers were long, white, tender and slender, comparable to those of an ancient lady. However, orcs were very strong, so making shoes was very easy for Hu Jiaojiao.
In no time, four pairs of small shoes were made.
Long Yao hadn't transformed yet, and Hu Jiaojiao didn't know his shoe size, so she didn't do it for him.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the four pairs of small and unique shoes in her hands and was very satisfied.
The workmanship is quite exquisite, but because of the ordinary materials, the appearance looks really simple, but it is good enough for wearing.
After finishing making Zaizai’s shoes, she started making her own.
After staring at the needle and thread for a long time, Hu Jiaojiao felt a little tired. Before her shoes were finished, she leaned on the stone pier in the yard and fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, Hu Jiaojiao broke out in a cold sweat.
She looked up at the sky hastily. The sun was almost overhead, making her entire face hot, like a cooked apple.
Hu Jiaojiao's hands were soaked with sweat and were icy cold.
She patted her cheek with her hand, and the cool touch finally made her more conscious.
She had a nightmare!
