"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I've caused you trouble." Lu Mian'er apologized to Hu Min and Long Yu with a look of self-blame.
If it weren't for her, Long Yu wouldn't have been injured, and Hu Min wouldn't have offended Lisha.
This Lizard is ferocious, brutal and unreasonable, and will definitely not let them go easily.
"What nonsense! What does that scum's fault have to do with you?" Hu Min glared at Lu Mian'er angrily, and was very opposed to her taking the responsibility on herself.
After saying that, without giving her a chance to speak, he lowered his head and asked Long Yu:
"Yu'er, how are you? Did you fall anywhere?"
"I'm fine, grandma." Long Yu shook his head and stood up.
His mouth was covered in Lizard Sha's blood, and he didn't feel any pain from falling on the snow, so he wasn't injured.
Hu Min heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Lu Mian'er, you must follow me from now on. If he dares to bully you again, you must kick him in the vitals so that he cannot have children in the future. Then you will see how he can bully you again."
"Thank you, Aunt Min. I'll remember that." Lu Mian'er bit her lip and nodded seriously.
She has to protect herself and not cause any more trouble for others.
"Long Yu, thank you for helping me just now." Lu Mian'er looked at the little cub beside her with gratitude.
He is only half her height, but he is already so brave. He is worthy of being Jiaojiao’s cub and is as powerful as Jiaojiao!
Even the cubs are so brave, how can she be weaker than them
Long Yu nodded at her and ran to pick up the spilled food on the ground.
After the farce, Liza did not send anyone to cause trouble. It was probably because he was seriously injured and was still trying to stop the bleeding.
During the rest time, the other females knew what had just happened and gathered together to prevent any other female from being left alone and bullied.
Long Xiu didn't like staying with everyone, so he and Long Yu found a quiet place nearby and sat down to eat bacon.
"Brother, once his injury heals, he will definitely take revenge on us." Long Xiu, who has always been taciturn, rarely speaks.
"Yes." Long Yu frowned and could not deny it.
We have to think of a way to prevent Lizard from taking revenge on them.
The two brothers looked at each other, one deep and the other shrewd, and their thoughts coincided with each other.
…
When they were about to set off, the rat orcs came over to count the number of people.
After Shu Er finished counting, he found that the number of people was not too bad, so he was about to go back and report to Lizard Sha and let the team set off.
When he was leaving, a small hand grabbed his clothes. He turned around and found that it was Long Xiu who had poor eyesight.
Shu Er glanced at his companion who had already walked away, hesitated for a moment, bent down, did not pull his hand away, and asked in a low voice:
"What do you want?"
He knew what it felt like to live under someone else's roof. This kid was very pitiful and had a congenital disability, so he would help him if he could.
"Uncle, my eldest brother and grandmother beat up Boss Liza today. I'm so sorry. I apologize to Boss Liza on their behalf. Can you help me to intercede and ask Boss Liza not to deal with them?"
Long Xiu's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist. Shu Er could see his eyes as soon as he lowered his head. They were empty and lifeless.
He couldn't bear it any more.
"You have already offended Boss Liza last time, and you injured him this time. He is very angry now, and it is useless for me to plead for you. You should stay away from him recently and don't provoke Boss Liza again."
Shu Er sighed and advised.
"Then..." Long Xiu hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I have some news to tell Boss Liza, can you help me convey it?"
After saying this, as if he was afraid that Shu Er would not agree, he continued to explain:
"It's about supplies. I want to make amends and ask Boss Lizard to spare my brother and grandmother."
"Okay, tell me what you want to say." Shu Er nodded. He could still help with this small matter.
Long Xiu turned around and looked around. Seeing that the other orcs were not paying attention to him this time, he spoke in a low voice:
"In addition to fruit smoked meat, our tribe's supplies also include a kind of pickled meat, which is pickled with salt. It tastes great and can also replenish salt. It's in the animal skin bag at the bottom. You probably don't know about it."
He had secretly observed these days and found that these orcs had not carefully counted the supplies. They just ate and distributed whatever they got.
But he kept most of the meat for himself and gave them only fruits.
"Made of salt?" Shu Er was shocked and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your tribe is so extravagant!"
Long Xiu pursed his lips, as if he had made some important decision, and continued in a low voice:
"Our tribe also has an important resource, which is salt flower. Once it is ground into powder, it can be eaten just like salt and can be placed at the bottom like pickled meat."
"Now that there is a shortage of salt in winter, can you please ask Boss Lizard to spare my eldest brother and grandmother for the sake of the salt..."
As Long Xiu spoke, he clasped his hands together in pleading, begging Shu Er.
"This..." Shu Er was so shocked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
It took him a while to come back to his senses and nodded happily.
"Don't worry, I'll convey this message to you. Boss Lizard will definitely be very happy and may even forgive you."
He patted Shu Er's shoulder, turned around and went to report to Liza.
Looking at Shu Er's blurry back, the expression on Long Xiu's face disappeared completely, turning into an indifferent look, and turned back to Long Yu.
The team set off quickly.
"Done?"
"Okay, the rest is up to Big Brother."
Long Yu came over to help him, and the two of them supported each other and followed the team. The crunching sound of snow drowned out their voices.
…
evening.
The team stopped again to set up camp, preparing to rest for a night and set out again early the next morning.
After receiving Long Xiu's news, the giant lizard orcs began to count the supplies, and sure enough, they found salty meat and a lot of salt flowers in the back.
"This kid actually hid so many good things. For the sake of so much salt, I will let them go this time."
Liza was delighted to see these supplies.
Salt is a good thing. Even if he hides some secretly, the leader won't know.
His face was covered in blood from being hit during the day, but he was not seriously injured. He just had a few cuts, scabs, and his nose was a little crooked. When he saw these things, the pain suddenly disappeared.
"Someone, take these bacon and salt away. I need to have a good rest tonight!"
Lizard Sha waved his hand and took his men to carry the pickled meat and salt away. Under the envious gazes of many orcs, he began to eat the pickled meat with big mouthfuls.
The fresh prey caught these days was also grilled, sprinkled with a handful of salt lavishly, and eaten with hearty gusto.
The other orcs could only stare in envy.
They had been out for so long, and they had been drinking blood to absorb salt on the way, and had never eaten any flavorful meat.
Lizard Sha ate a lot of salt and drank several jars of water. He burped with a mouth full of salt and fell asleep with a satisfied look on his face.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
All the animals fell asleep.
Liza suddenly shuddered, awakened by the urge to urinate. He pulled up his pants, clamped his legs together and walked towards the darkness in the distance.
He didn't notice the figure following him from a distance.
