Just as Long Yao's mouth was about to touch the fish in the pot, Long Mo's deep voice suddenly sounded above his head:
"Take a bite and you'll have to skip a meal starting tomorrow."
Long Yao froze in an instant, quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and quickly took several steps back.
The pupils were dilated several times.
The price of this bite is too high! He doesn't want it anymore!
"Hmm..." He shook his head, and an unclear sound came out from between his fingers, "Little Five is unlucky! One button is also unlucky!!"
The other five kids sitting in a row nearby immediately straightened up and acted as if they had no desires or requests.
They will not sacrifice their future enjoyment just to have a bite.
Hu Jiaojiao came over with the dishes, and when she heard Long Mo threatening Long Yao, she frowned and said:
"Long Mo, why are you scaring Yao Er again?"
She put down the dishes and looked at Long Yao with a gentle smile, "It's okay, Yao'er, eat whatever you want, mother made it for you."
"Really?" Long Yao let go of his hand instantly, his eyes opened wide, flickering with a faint light, as if there were two stars hidden in his eyes.
"Of course. When has mother ever lied to you?" Hu Jiaojiao smiled gently and continued, "But there are many bones in this fish, and it is most likely for the cub to get stuck in the throat. If the throat is pierced without the care of parents, or if it is swallowed and the stomach is pierced..."
As she spoke, she made a sympathetic expression, wrinkled her face and clicked her tongue slightly.
"Tsk, that hurts so much!"
The smile on Long Yao’s face froze.
"Xiaowu doesn't want to eat anymore. Xiaowu will wait for mother to eat together!"
He said immediately without thinking.
Hu Jiaojiao held back her laughter and nodded, "Xiaowu is so good, mother will help you pick out the fish bones later."
Long Yao nodded eagerly. He was so scared that the dragon tail behind his butt popped out and curled up into a small circle like a pig's tail. He curled up behind his back, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.
Hu Jiaojiao turned her head and educated Long Mo seriously:
"Don't scare Yao'er anymore."
What if such a young baby is frightened and becomes timid and cowardly in the future
Long Mo: “…”
Who scares more
The five kids standing by couldn't help but hold their foreheads when they saw that Long Yao had been completely fooled.
After this trip, Long Yao became a little smarter, but only a little bit.
There are no more.
Soon, the whole family sat cross-legged around several large pots. Having not seen each other for almost half a month, Hu Jiaojiao made some extra food on purpose to nourish her parents and brothers.
This electric eel has high nutritional value and is extremely plump, making it a great tonic.
"Hmm! Jiaojiao, why is the fish you cooked so delicious? I almost ate my tongue off, it's so delicious..."
Hu Lin was the only one who had not tasted Hu Jiaojiao's cooking. He couldn't stop eating after the first bite and was full of praise for the fish.
Hu Qiang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at how ignorant you are. I didn't invite you to eat, but you insisted on coming."
As soon as the old fox heard that Hu Jiaojiao was going to cook herself, he stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be driven away. Even the other orcs from the Leihe tribe ignored them and let them do whatever they wanted.
"I haven't seen the world?" Hu Lin blew his beard. "I've been to more tribes than you've walked!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with a smile, saying flatteringly:
"But none of them are as good as our Jiaojiao."
Hu Min was very pleased with this and nodded with satisfaction, "You have good taste."
"Thank you for your exaggeration, Chief. If you like, eat more. I made a lot today." Hu Jiaojiao smiled and looked at Hu Min and his wife, "Dad and Mom, you guys should eat quickly too, or it will get cold later."
Hu Jiaojiao's words were like an imperial decree.
The few of them stopped arguing and began to enjoy the food with satisfied looks on their faces.
While he was talking, Long Mo had already picked out a bowl of meat without fish bones.
Long Yao stared at the bowl of meat eagerly, his eyes following the movement of the bowl as if they were equipped with a locator.
He saw Long Mo bring back the selected meat and come towards him. He bared his teeth, stretched out his little hands, palms facing up, ready to take the bowl.
He happily shouted:
"Thank you, Daddy~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Mo placed the bowl in front of Hu Jiaojiao. His magnetic voice was gentle and doting, as if it was sprinkled with honey. "Jiaojiao, you've been busy all day, you should eat too."
Long Yao: “…”
His face instantly turned into an embarrassed expression.
He hung his head in a depressed mood, clutching his little feet with both hands. He felt a pent-up aura all over his body, as if there was a gloomy dark cloud above his head and heavy rain was pouring down on it.
Just as he was feeling depressed, a bowl was suddenly placed in front of him.
"Yao'er, these are the eel balls that your mother made for you. There are no fish bones in them. Try them."
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the sulking Long Yao with amusement. She had already prepared his portion in advance so that the little guy would not be unable to wait when eating.
Long Yao moved his nose and smelled the tempting aroma. He raised his eyelids and saw a bowl of eel ball soup that was colorful, fragrant and delicious.
He looked like a young sapling that had long been blessed with sweet dew. It suddenly became full of energy from its listless state, and his eyes were filled with luster.
"Thank you, Mommy. You're the best!"
The little hands held the bowl very carefully, as if he had picked up a treasure.
The tip of his tail behind him swung left and right, shaking slightly, revealing his excitement at the moment.
Fox smiled tenderly and picked up some fish meat for each of the cubs, without showing any favoritism.
"Mother brought back a witch doctor from the wolf orcs. Xiuxiu, Zhong'er, Yincang, when we get back to the tribe, mother will ask the witch doctor to treat you."
The three kids paused using their chopsticks at the same time.
Witch doctor!
Mother actually found a witch doctor
"Mother." Long Xiu called softly, "I'm fine. Let's treat my third brother and Brother Yin Cang first."
Witch doctors are rare and precious, and it is not easy to ask them to help with treatment.
It is probably impossible to treat three orcs at once. Even if the other party agrees, it will cost a considerable price.
Long Xiu knew this clearly and was willing to give up the opportunity.
Long Zhong also understood the reason behind this, and said without thinking, "I don't need a witch doctor. Mother's medicine is very effective. The scar on my face has faded a lot, so I don't need a witch doctor!"
Having said that, he still kept his hair long, covering half of his face out of habit.
If you want to be treated by a witch doctor, you have to ask him for help.
He didn't want his mother to bow to other orcs for them.
He would rather not be treated.
Yin Cang also frowned and waved his hands hurriedly. He was very lucky to be adopted and did not dare to ask for anything else.
He was afraid that he was too greedy and would lose everything he had now.
Hu Jiaojiao thought the cubs would be very happy to hear the news, but she didn't expect them to react like this. She felt a little sorry for them for a moment.
Being too sensible is sometimes not a good thing.
She would rather these kids were a little more innocent and not so precocious...
Just then, a small paw was raised from underneath.
