"Really? Xiaowu can eat meat now!"
Long Yao's eyes, which had just been lost, lit up instantly, like two glowing flashlights, and he looked at Hu Jiaojiao expectantly.
"Of course it's true. Would mother lie to you?" Hu Jiaojiao nodded with amusement.
Long Yao tilted his head and thought about it. Since his mother had come to pick him up, she would definitely not lie to him.
So he nodded affirmatively, "Mother would not lie to Xiaowu!"
"Yeah, Xiaowu has something delicious~"
The little guy was so excited that he was spinning around in circles with a beaming expression on his face, which made Long Zhong, who was standing next to him, feel depressed for a while.
I should have known he would want it too.
As if Hu Jiaojiao had heard Long Zhong's thoughts, she turned her head and looked at him tenderly, smiling and asking, "Don't you want to eat, Zhong'er?"
Long Zhongwu raised his head suddenly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He thought his mother only felt sorry for Xiaowu and made it for him.
The surprise in his eyes quickly turned into joy. He nodded quickly and responded loudly: "Yes!"
Hu Jiaojiao rubbed the two cubs' heads. The ingredients for cooking can be taken from the space because they are small and it is easy to find excuses to fool around, but the staple food...
Three pairs of eyes looked at Long Mo at the same time.
Feeling the gazes of the three people, Long Mo stood up helplessly and walked out of the cave without complaint.
"I'll go see if there's any prey nearby."
The supplies that Hu Qingshan and his men brought have been consumed for a long time, and now they have to distribute them to the one hundred new orcs, which is not enough at all.
Even if Fox Jiaojiao didn't say anything, he would have to go out with the other animals to look for food.
"Daddy is the best. Thank you for your hard work~" Long Yao had something to eat and his face was full of smiles. He immediately spoke to Long Mo in a well-behaved and sensible manner.
After saying that, he looked at Hu Jiaojiao again, baring his big white teeth and added:
"Mom is the best, a little better than Dad."
Hu Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry and reached out and touched his forehead. This little guy was really smart. He tried to please both sides and didn't offend anyone.
The corner of Long Zhong's mouth twitched slightly. In terms of shamelessness, Xiao Wu was second to none and no one dared to claim to be first.
While Long Mo was out hunting, Hu Jiaojiao washed the faces of the two cubs and wiped their hair with a wet towel.
With Hu Jing's help and care along the way, Long Zhong and Long Yao were not covered in dust and dirt, but their hair had grown below their ears, and because they had not been combed for a long time, it was all tangled, making them look like little savages.
Hu Jiaojiao cut the two cubs' hair short again and dried it with a towel. They finally looked much fresher and cleaner.
Long Mo took a dozen orcs out hunting. After half a day, a group of orcs came back carrying a lot of prey.
Seeing the prey on their shoulders, the orcs in the camp were excited.
They were rushing along the way and did not dare to waste food. They only ate until they were two or three-quarters full at each meal. There was only so much food they brought with them, and it would be bad if they were slowed down by lack of food.
In addition, they had no time to find firewood to make a fire on the road, so all they ate was hard bacon.
When you feel better, you can crush the salt flowers, lick them on your tongue with your fingers, and get some salt powder on them, and then it will be a "delicacy".
Now when I see fresh prey and smell the blood, I feel it is so sweet and my mouth waters.
When Hu Jiaojiao brought her cub out, they saw a group of orcs gathered in the camp, whispering to each other with excitement on their faces.
She walked closer and saw that it was Long Mo who had returned.
There were dozens of corpses of wild animals on the ground, large and small, in various shapes. The big ones included cows and sheep, and the small ones included pheasants and squirrels. It seemed that all the prey they could find were caught, and no one was spared.
"Jiaojiao." Long Mo spotted Hu Jiaojiao in the crowd at a glance. He strode forward, protected Hu Jiaojiao on both sides, and took her over.
The orcs next to them immediately made way.
Of course, even if Long Mo was not there, they would not dare to crowd around Hu Jiaojiao.
"Long Mo, you guys are amazing. You can catch so many prey in winter." Hu Jiaojiao praised generously.
All the animals looked at him with envy.
Even in the harvest season of autumn, they couldn't catch so much prey.
"If you want to eat it, I'll go catch it again." Long Mo changed his just cold attitude and looked down at Hu Jiaojiao with gentle eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work." Hu Jiaojiao curved her eyes and leaned on his shoulder affectionately.
"Jiaojiao, you don't know, these big prey were caught by Long Mo and Ying Yuan from far away places and the small ones were caught by Qing Yuan and others." Hu Jing came over at some point and reminded Hu Jiaojiao with a smile.
Hearing this, Hu Qingyuan was unhappy and curled his lips and said:
"What do you mean by these small ones? I even caught this pheasant! You don't know how hard it is to find prey outside. Others only caught mice..."
This place is close to the Leihe tribe. All the prey nearby has long been hunted down by the orcs of the Leihe tribe. They are lucky to be able to catch mice.
No matter how small the prey is, it is still a piece of meat!
"Yes, yes, you caught a chicken, you are so awesome." Hu Jing laughed and stroked Hu Qingyuan's head, as if he was coaxing his big dog.
Hu Qingyuan was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not resist. He muttered quietly:
"You just complain that I haven't caught any big prey. If I had wings and could fly, I could go farther to catch big prey..."
Hu Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she tried to find a way out for Hu Qingyuan:
"Fourth brother, we checked when we came here. There really isn't much prey around here. It's already great that you were able to catch a pheasant."
"Fourth uncle, pheasant meat is also delicious! Third brother loves pheasant the most!" Long Yao also stood on tiptoe and squeezed in seriously.
Hu Qingyuan then looked at Long Zhong suspiciously.
"real?"
Long Yao quickly pulled at Long Zhong's sleeve.
Long Zhong didn't expect that Long Yao actually remembered what he liked to eat. A hint of warmth flashed across his pretending to be serious face, and he nodded.
Seeing that the two cubs were so supportive, Hu Qingyuan felt much better. He smiled and leaned close to Hu Jing's ear:
"Hu Jing, what do you like to eat? I'll catch it for you later."
"I like to eat anything you catch." Hu Jing simply hugged his arms with both hands, not being shy and openly showing off their love.
When the animals saw the two of them being so affectionate, they all walked away in disgust.
These two guys must be here deliberately to make them jealous because they see that they don't have a partner.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and pulled Long Mo to deal with the prey.
Hu Qingshan found a few agile orcs to help, some of them killed prey, while others looked for firewood and polished stone tools.
The total weight of these prey was several thousand kilograms, which was a huge number, and it was a big project to deal with it. Fortunately, they had a lot of manpower and it only took half an hour to deal with it.
The orcs made several large stone pots, and Hu Jiaojiao used large bones to make soup. When no one was paying attention, she took some ingredients from the space to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor and put them into the soup. The remaining meat was distributed among others, making them self-sufficient.
Soon, bursts of rich fragrance wafted through the camp, making the orcs' stomachs rumble with hunger.
The cold wind blew down from the mountain, carrying the fragrance and blowing towards the Leihe tribe.
