Hu Jiaojiao dreamed that Long Yao was being eaten and bitten by a group of wolves in a wasteland. Only bones were left of half of the dragon's body. The pure and bright red eyes of the animal looked at her with resentment.
But in the blink of an eye, the resentment in Long Yao's eyes turned into hatred, and the cold hostility was like a knife, piercing Hu Jiaojiao's heart.
It woke her up instantly.
In the dream, the sun was hanging low in the sky, it was afternoon.
For some reason, Hu Jiaojiao felt very uneasy.
Even though she knew it was just a dream.
Hu Jiaojiao stood up and prepared to call the cubs back. Only in this way could she feel at ease.
After searching around the wooden house, she couldn't find any of the cubs. Hu Jiaojiao became more and more worried and hurried to other places in the tribe to look for them.
Fox Jiaojiao lives at the westernmost part of the tribe, surrounded by forests, and has to walk for a while before she can see the houses of other orcs.
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Hu Jiaojiao became anxious and grabbed the branches in the woods with both hands.
Suddenly, Hu Jiaojiao heard voices coming from the front of the forest.
She paused, walked closer, and saw a few kids standing in the distance.
It’s the cubs!
Hu Jiaojiao's face lit up with joy and she was about to walk over.
However, before she got closer, she saw a slender female standing opposite the cubs, talking to the cubs in a gentle voice.
"Yu'er, this is the barbecue I just made. Take it and share it with your brothers and sisters. You must be starving. It's all my fault. I've been busy lately and haven't been able to bring you any food. I'll try to bring you more food in the future."
The voice is delicate, soft, gentle and warm.
Hu Jiaojiao felt something familiar was going on. She frowned and looked over, and discovered that the person who was speaking was Lu Mian'er, whom she saw when she had just traveled through time.
Why is she here
She suddenly remembered that although Lu Mian'er, as the heroine, hated what her original body did, she was nice to the cubs. From time to time, she would give the cubs some food behind her original body's back. She was one of the few orcs in the tribe who was kind to the cubs.
From a distance, through the dense branches and leaves, Hu Jiaojiao could see the soft and gentle female's face full of smiles.
Several cubs stood in front of her, looking well-behaved.
This scene is unusually harmonious.
Hu Jiaojiao suddenly had the thought of not daring to interrupt them...
These cubs probably still hate her now. What they want most should be a mother like Lu Mian'er, right? If she goes there rashly, the cubs will definitely hate her.
"Thank you, but no, we're not hungry." Long Yu refused coldly with no expression on his face.
Long Xiu and Long Zhong stood side by side. Long Zhong just glanced at the barbecue in Lu Mian'er's hand without saying anything.
They all listen to their eldest brother.
Even Long Linger, who usually talks the most, did not talk to Lu Mian'er at this time. She stood behind Long Yu with a dull expression, and her dark eyes silently stared at Lu Mian'er with a scrutinizing look.
When they went out today, they heard other orcs say that the wound on the vicious female's head was caused by Lu Mian'er pushing her down.
No matter how bad the vicious female was to them, she was still their mother, and they would not allow other orcs to harm her.
The smile on Lu Mian'er's face froze for a moment, revealing a puzzled expression, and then she reacted.
Crouching down, he asked gently, "Did Fox Jiaojiao beat you again? Or did she find out that I gave you food and she won't let you eat it?"
"It's okay. Just finish eating now. She won't find out when you go back, and I won't tell any orcs. Just eat quickly..."
Although these cubs didn’t like to talk and were cold to her in the past, they would never refuse food.
Today is really a bit strange.
Lu Mian'er subconsciously blamed Hu Jiaojiao.
After hearing Lu Mian'er's words, except Long Zhong, the other cubs couldn't help but frown.
"She didn't hit us, and we're not hungry. You can take the food back." Long Yu corrected with a serious face.
"Brother is right, mother didn't beat us, don't talk nonsense." Long Linger also nodded quickly.
They used to eat her food because they would starve to death if they didn't eat it, and they would repay her when they were able to do so. But now they don't need it and won't eat it.
Long Xiu, who was always taciturn, also spoke up, "Aunt Lu, thank you for your kindness, you should go back."
Aunt Lu
When Lu Mian'er heard this, the smile on her face froze a little.
Although she is almost the same age as Hu Jiaojiao, the cubs in the tribe all call her Sister Mian'er, and no cub has ever called her Auntie.
"Puff..."
Hearing Long Xiu's call, Hu Jiaojiao in the distance couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.
The original second child is indeed the most venomous of the children. Long Zhong is venomous in his words, while he is venomous in his words.
Even though the heroine Lu Mian'er is still a young female under 20 years old, Long Xiu calls her aunt.
“Who’s there!”
A trace of vigilance flashed across Long Yu's young face. He turned around suddenly and swept his sharp eyes towards where Hu Jiaojiao was.
Hu Jiaojiao quickly shut up, but it was too late.
Long Zhong had already walked over on dead branches and leaves. When he saw Hu Jiaojiao, the scars on his face wrinkled into a ball, "Why is it you..."
A vicious female was eavesdropping on their conversation from behind
The other cubs were also stunned, and their thin bodies subconsciously shrank back. This was a habit left to them by their original body, a conditioned reflex of the body.
The image of the vicious female's ferocious appearance also emerged in my mind.
Subconsciously, she thought that she discovered Lu Mian'er secretly gave them food, and if she saw them accepting it, they would definitely be beaten up again when they returned.
While the kids were in a trance, Long Linger grinned, trotted over, and called out in a crisp voice.
"Mother!"
Hearing the word "mother", the cubs seemed to wake up from a nightmare. They suddenly remembered that the vicious female would call herself "mother" and they vowed not to beat them anymore.
Seeing that she had been discovered by the cubs and could no longer hide, Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to walk out with an awkward smile.
Explained: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I just wanted to come and see you, and I happened to meet you..."
"How about you continue chatting? I won't bother you anymore..."
Seeing that the cubs were here safe and sound, Hu Jiaojiao felt relieved.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, the cubs all showed surprised expressions.
What is she planning now
The vicious female used to hate Lu Mian'er the most. She wouldn't let them talk to her, and would even curse at them if they got a little closer. Why didn't she react at all today
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao turning around and about to leave, Long Linger hurried forward and grabbed the hem of her clothes with her little hand.
Hu Jiaojiao turned around and saw Long Ling'er, who was as thin as a little monkey, with her head tilted back, her watery eyes filled with pleading, "Mother, don't go..."
"We didn't come to see her on purpose. She came to us on her own. We didn't want to eat her food. Mother, please don't be angry or hate us, okay?"
