Thinking of how he almost died in the wolf's belly because of his greed for a piece of meat, Long Yao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Because of Hu Jiaojiao's words, Long Yao never ate food of unknown origin again, and he dared not to eat greedily outside anymore.
Seeing that Long Yao was so well-behaved and obedient, Hu Jiaojiao smiled with relief.
On the way home, Long Yao followed Hu Jiaojiao closely, fearing that Hu Jiaojiao would disappear in the blink of an eye.
In the wooden house.
The three cubs returned dejectedly. Long Xiu, who was left at home, heard the sound, groped to the door, and stared outside with empty eyes.
"Is Big Brother back? Did you find Little Five?"
"No." Long Yu answered in a hoarse voice.
Long Xiu's face, which was slightly expectant, suddenly turned pale.
Xiaowu would never go to a place where they couldn't find him. If they hadn't found Xiaowu yet, he must have been in trouble...
Long Zhong lowered his head, clenched his fists, and suddenly smashed the fence in the yard.
"It's all my fault! If I hadn't failed to take good care of Xiaowu, he wouldn't have disappeared. It's all my fault. I deserve to die!"
"Third brother, it's not your fault, don't be like this..." Long Ling'er's eyes were red, and she hurried forward to hold his arm, "Xiao Wu is missing, and I am also wrong."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the yard was depressed.
Long Yu bit his pale lips tightly, his face full of self-blame.
"Maybe... maybe mother can find Xiaowu back..." Long Linger said in a low voice.
Long Zhong gritted his teeth and retorted without thinking, "She wouldn't... She wants Xiao Wu to die sooner, how can she find Xiao Wu back? Maybe she is the one who caused Xiao Wu's disappearance. She wants to kill Xiao Wu!"
"No, mother won't be like this. She has become a better person..." Long Linger shook her head subconsciously, but her voice became smaller and smaller.
What if, what if Mother was just being nice to them just to confuse them, just to send Xiaowu away...
Long Linger didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it.
"If she was really the one who caused Xiaowu to disappear, I won't let her go!" she said gritting her teeth.
She pursed her lips and turned her head to look outside. She was still unwilling to accept Long Zhong's statement. Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw a female walking towards the wooden house not far away.
"Mom! Mom is back!" Long Linger's eyes lit up and she jumped up in surprise. Before the cubs could react, she rushed out.
Several kids immediately turned their heads to look over there.
Outside the courtyard, Fox Jiaojiao was wet all over, and a little black dragon followed her closely. The little black dragon was safe and sound, but it always surrounded Fox Jiaojiao like her little tail.
In the setting sun, the warm orange light shines on the man and the dragon, exuding an inexplicable sense of warmth.
Several kids were stunned, as if something hit their hearts and they felt blocked.
The vicious female really found Xiaowu back...
She looked so miserable, totally different from before, but they couldn't hate her at all.
"Mother! Xiaowu!"
When Hu Jiaojiao heard Long Linger's voice, she saw a skinny little girl rushing towards her. She quickly stretched out her hands to catch Long Linger who was unable to stop the car.
"Mom is back. She brought Xiaowu back with her. You must be worried, right? Don't worry. Xiaowu is fine. Nothing happened..."
Knowing that the cubs were worried about Xiaowu, Hu Jiaojiao told them about Xiaowu's situation as soon as possible.
As for what just happened, Hu Jiaojiao did not say a word.
Anyway, these kids won’t care about her.
"Mom, you are so amazing. I knew you would be able to find Xiaowu back!"
Long Linger hugged Hu Jiaojiao's thighs tightly, tilted her head back, and her thin and yellow face was full of excitement.
Hu Jiaojiao patted her head lovingly and was about to speak when she heard Long Linger suddenly exclaim in surprise, "Mother, why are you all wet!"
"Mom got wet accidentally. You and your brothers take Xiaowu out to play while I change my clothes, okay?"
Hu Jiaojiao fooled the person with a few words and stuffed Long Yao into Long Linger's arms.
He glanced at the three kids in the yard, who were also looking at him, so he walked over and said to them, "You guys go play too, don't run too far, and remember to come back for dinner before dark."
Long Yu looked at her with complicated eyes, "You..."
He wanted to ask the vicious female where she found Xiaowu and how his clothes got wet, but when the words of concern came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
Long Xiu couldn't see anything and could only listen to the conversation between the people. When he learned that Hu Jiaojiao's clothes were wet, he frowned and turned to go into the wooden house.
"Brother, let's go." Long Zhong disliked Hu Jiaojiao the most, and forcefully pulled Long Yu out of the yard.
They really didn't know how to get along with Hu Jiaojiao.
Thinking of this, Long Yu closed his mouth and left with Long Zhong.
Seeing the cubs leave, Hu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.
These cubs are all very sensitive. In the future, they will become villains in the book who dominate and wreak havoc and are the most vengeful. The biggest reason for their darkening is the bullying and oppression by the orcs.
If they knew that there were orcs who deliberately wanted to harm Long Yao, it would probably accelerate their process of turning evil.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't want Zizi to know this too early.
She looked up at the sky. The sun had not set yet and it would only be an hour or two before dark. By the time she changed her clothes, tidied up the yard, and cooked a big pot of rice, it would be almost dark.
After sitting in the yard for two minutes, Hu Jiaojiao got up and prepared to work.
A small figure suddenly walked up to her.
"Xiu Xiu?" Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Xiu with some confusion, thinking that he was looking for evidence to expose her identity again. Her mind was racing as to what excuse she could come up with to cover it up.
Suddenly, something furry was stuffed into my hand.
Hu Jiaojiao looked down and saw it was an animal skin skirt.
But she had never seen this animal skin skirt before. She had searched the whole cabin before, but found no other animal skin except the large animal skin cut into four pieces.
"Xiu Xiu, where did this come from? Is it for me?" Hu Jiaojiao asked uncertainly.
"Yeah." Long Xiu replied expressionlessly.
Hu Jiaojiao was just wondering when she heard him continue, "This is the animal skin skirt that I hid before. It's her favorite. I'm giving it to you."
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
My goodness, this kid dug a hole for her to jump into!
She pulled the corners of her mouth and said in a gentle and silly voice, "Thank you, Xiuxiu. Mother was worried about not being able to find this fur skirt. I thought it was lost. It turned out that you helped me put it away. You are so good."
As he said that, he rubbed Long Xiu's head.
The several cubs were all dark and thin, only Long Xiu had fair skin and a thin voice. If she hadn't known that the original body had only one female cub, she would almost have thought that Long Xiu was also a female.
Long Xiu has curly, fluffy hair and looks like a little black lamb. Hu Jiaojiao has wanted to pet him for a long time and finally found the opportunity.
