After a farce, Hu Jiaojiao unexpectedly arrived at the cave smoothly and met Hu Qiang, Hu Qinglu and their cubs.
"Dad, Third Brother." Hu Jiaojiao called softly. Seeing that everyone was here and safe, she felt a lot more relieved.
"Mother!"
As soon as the three cubs saw Hu Jiaojiao, they shouted in unison and rushed over like little cannonballs, with uncontrollable joy and excitement on their faces.
After being away from the tribe for so long, they all missed their mother so much.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled, opened her arms, and hugged the three cubs in her arms.
"Yu'er, Xiuxiu, Ling'er..."
Yin Cang was the last one to be picked up. He followed behind the three cubs. His expression was not as excited as theirs, but he also took two quick steps and followed behind them.
But when Hu Jiaojiao hugged them, Yin Cang stopped.
He suppressed the joy on his face, stood aside silently, lowered his eyes, and did not come any closer.
They are a real family, and he shouldn't disturb them at this time.
At this time, Hu Jiaojiao looked up at him and waved, "Yin Cang, come here, let me see if you have lost weight, you have suffered a lot along the way..."
She knew that Yin Cang was a delicate person and was prone to having some inferiority complex, so she winked at Long Yu.
Long Yu understood what he meant and stepped forward to pull Yin Cang over.
The four cubs stood in front of Hu Jiaojiao. They had all grown taller, but Yin Cang was still much taller than the other three cubs.
Hu Jiaojiao held Yin Cang's hand and said gently:
"Yin Cang, thank you for taking care of my brothers and sisters on the way. Thank you for your hard work."
Although Yin Cang looks cold and aloof, after getting to know him, Hu Jiaojiao knows that he takes good care of the cubs. He is a cold-hearted person with a warm heart, and he is indispensable to take care of the cubs on the road.
Yin Cang looked a little embarrassed and quickly shook his head stiffly.
I was touched. She had always treated him like a family member, and treated him and the other kids equally. She had never treated him badly because he was an outsider...
Not to mention taking care of the cub, he would be willing to even sacrifice himself.
"Mom, Yin Cang often leaves food for Xiaowu. He is so nice to Xiaowu." Long Linger hugged Hu Jiaojiao's arm, shaking it left and right and added.
Long Yu and Long Xiu also nodded. If Xiao Wu was not a male, they would have thought that Yin Cang had some feelings for Xiao Wu.
As soon as he finished speaking, the kids were stunned. Suddenly they remembered that Xiaowu had not been found yet, and a trace of guilt flashed across their faces.
"Mother, Xiaowu..."
Long Linger opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked by sand and she couldn't utter a word.
Long Yu raised his head, held Long Linger's shoulders, frowned, took all the responsibilities, and said apologetically:
"Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Xiaowu and Sandi well, I lost them..."
Long Xiu bit her lip and said, "I am also wrong. Mother, please punish me."
If he had good eyesight, he wouldn't need his elder brother to take care of them all the time. He would have more time to keep an eye on Long Zhong and Long Yao and wouldn't have lost them.
"Okay, mother won't punish anyone. You are all good kids." Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile and rubbed their heads.
Seeing the kids looking guilty and wrinkled like buns, she smiled and explained:
"Zhong'er and Yao'er are fine. They are in the camp and are doing well now. You don't have to worry about them."
Hearing this, the kids were all stunned.
"Really? Really?!" Long Linger opened her eyes wide and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with surprise.
It’s great that Xiaowu and Sange are both fine!
"I thought I would never see them again..." While feeling happy, Long Linger couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes, her eyes became a little moist.
They were extremely worried along the way, feeling guilty and blaming themselves, wishing they were the ones who were missing.
Long Yu and Long Xiu looked at each other. Although they were not as excited as Long Linger, there was joy on their faces.
"Mother, what about Fourth Uncle and Aunt Jing..." Long Yu asked again hesitantly.
Aunt Jing disappeared in order to save Xiaowu, and he always kept it in mind.
"They are also in the camp, with Zhong'er and the others." Hu Jiaojiao quickly gave the answer he wanted.
Long Yu let out a long breath, and the tense expression on his face relaxed.
Fortunately, they are all fine, and everyone is happy.
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao coming in person, Hu Qiang and Hu Qinglu, father and son, were overjoyed. They couldn't help but drag Long Mo to a corner and scolded Long Mo from the left and right.
"You kid, just come if you want to, why did you bring Jiaojiao with you!"
"That's right. My little sister is weak. What if she gets sick on the way? Long Mo, you are too careless..."
The two didn't dare to say anything to Hu Jiaojiao, so they caught Long Mo and gave him a "education".
Long Mo glanced tenderly at Hu Jiaojiao who was talking to Zi Zi at the side, and humbly accepted the teachings of the two without saying a word about Hu Jiaojiao's insistence on coming along.
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Hu Qiang and Hu Qinglu said a few words to him and couldn't think of any words to scold him.
With a gloomy look on her face, she said, "Don't let Jiaojiao be in danger in the future," and then reluctantly let him go.
After Fox Jiaojiao finished talking to the cubs, she also said hello to the other beastmen.
When the animals saw Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo, they felt as if they had found their backbone. They were delighted and felt at ease.
Fox Jiaojiao is the lucky star of the tribe. With Fox Jiaojiao around, they will definitely be able to return to the tribe safely!
"Minmin..."
Hu Lin called Hu Min in a flattering manner and reached out to hold her hand.
Unexpectedly, before he could touch her, Hu Min ignored his existence and turned to talk to the kids.
Hu Lin stretched out his hand but grabbed nothing, feeling a little embarrassed. He took his hand back and scratched his ear, then walked back to Hu Jiaojiao.
The voice of flattery and weakness is exactly the same as before:
"Jiaojiao..."
Hu Jiaojiao was talking to Hou Xiang. After walking all the way, she had completely lost her previous fat appearance. She looked like a lot taller and was completely different from the big-sized female with a greasy face before.
Seeing Hu Lin coming, Hou Xiang stopped tactfully, smiled at Hu Jiaojiao and walked away, leaving space for the two.
Hu Jiaojiao turned around and asked politely:
"What can I do for you?"
Although Hu Lin was her second father, he was a strange orc to her, and he almost caused harm to her tribe and family. She really couldn't get close to him.
At least not yet.
Hu Lin's face was full of smiles, like the fruits of the autumn harvest, which weighed down his wrinkles so much that they added several layers of folds.
"Are you all exhausted? I have prepared a special cave for you. Can I take you, Minmin and the cubs there to rest?"
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at him once more and didn't answer.
Hu Lin smiled guiltily, and suddenly felt like his thoughts were seen through.
