The long-forgotten memories suddenly became clear like a coastline at low tide.
"I remember that time, Jiaojiao was only six years old, still a little cub who knew nothing."
The patriarch spoke to himself.
Once people form a stereotype about someone, they will only remember the memories they want to remember.
Strangely enough, Jiaojiao knew nothing when she was a child, but she was able to cure Long Mo. It was also because of this that Hu Min and Hu Qiang loved this female cub very much and have been pampering her until now.
The four brothers Hu Qingshan also wanted to praise Hu Jiaojiao to the sky.
He thought Jiaojiao could become a veterinarian.
When she grew up, she was asked if she was willing to learn from the old veterinarian, but she refused, and the matter was left unresolved.
Listening to the words of the patriarch, Xieman's dark eyes flashed with envy.
That guy Long Mo actually knew Hu Jiaojiao so long ago.
If he had known Hu Jiaojiao so early, would he be her partner now
At worst, he might be qualified to stand beside her...
"By the way, Xie Man." The tribe leader suddenly looked at him and asked kindly, "You look two years older than Long Mo. Have you not found a partner yet?"
Xie Man suddenly felt heartbroken: "..."
"yes."
Xie Man seemed to be wearing a mask of pain.
That guy Long Mo is not only stronger than him, but also younger than him.
The five cubs in the house were flying and running, but he couldn't even touch the female's hand.
Beasts are more beastly than beasts.
"You are an excellent and responsible person. Once the wall is built and you have settled down, it will be time for you to find a partner. In addition to Jiaojiao, there are many good females in our tribe."
The patriarch patted his shoulder earnestly.
Like a worried old father.
Xie Man opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Why is it other than Hu Jiaojiao
"Thank you, Chief. I don't want to find a partner for the time being. I just want to take good care of these orcs and cubs I brought here." His world is not just about a partner, but more about the burden and responsibility on his shoulders.
If he were asked to abandon the eight hundred orcs behind him to pursue Hu Jiaojiao, he would not be able to do it.
Xie Man was very clear about this, so he never did anything beyond the limit and always tried his best to suppress the emotions that were stirring in his heart.
"You, the Xiezhi tribe, are indeed responsible orcs." A hint of admiration flashed between the tribe leader's eyebrows.
The Xiezhi clan is upright and righteous, and they will be the best leaders wherever they go.
He and Ju Ran, who came to the tribe alone, and the paranoid and arbitrary Long Mo were two extremes.
The clan leader was an old hand who had lived for most of his life. Naturally, he saw the hidden feelings of Xie Man for Hu Jiaojiao, and he was deliberately trying to warn Xie Man.
Xieman is a good person, but he is not suitable to be a partner of Hu Jiaojiao.
Um!
He definitely didn't say that because he didn't want an annoying beastman to appear between Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo.
Hearing this, Xie Man gave a bitter smile and said nothing.
If possible, he would envy Long Mo for doing things freely and without considering the consequences.
But sometimes the blood genes running in your bones cannot be changed.
"Okay, there are still many female families in the tribe who have not dug wells. If you need anything in the future, just come to me." The chief waved his hand and prepared to go back.
"Thank you, Chief." Xie Man agreed and watched the chief leave.
After drinking the warm water, the orcs worked more vigorously.
A group of orcs seemed to be energized and started moving stones with a grunt.
"Boss, there's a male over there, watching us nearby." Xieman was busy when an orc suddenly ran over and said with a strange look on his face.
Xie Man stopped what he was doing and turned to look over.
It turned out to be an orc in his early twenties. He looked thin, with an untidy beard and messy hair, like a beastman.
The eyes that seemed to penetrate the space did not seem to be looking at them, but rather at something else through them.
When the orcs next to him heard this, they echoed it.
"I've seen him many times. He comes here almost every day and stays for hours at a time."
“Is there something wrong here? It looks a little strange…” The orc pointed to his head, looking suspicious.
Hearing this, the other orcs showed expressions of pity.
Although they live a miserable life, at least they are intellectually sound.
"Go and ask him if he needs help." Xie Man pondered for a moment and instructed the orc beside him.
The orc nodded and ran over quickly.
But before he could get close, the male who had been standing motionless in the distance suddenly turned around and left.
It was so fast that the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"… "
The orcs were bewildered and puzzled. This male... seemed to have good ears and was incredibly fast. He didn't look like he had any mental disabilities.
Why do I seem to have lost my soul
…
At Hu Jiaojiao's home.
There was a table full of wood in the living room, and Hu Jiaojiao was making a small catapult sample according to the blueprint.
Long Mo looked at her white and tender fingers that were rubbed red by the wood. A trace of heartache flashed in his deep eyes, and he reached out to take the wood.
"I'll do it."
Hu Jiaojiao's hands suddenly felt empty.
She turned to look at Long Mo who looked serious, "But you can't read the blueprint, so you don't know the size."
"You teach me, and I will learn it." The low, mellow voice was cold, arrogant and confident.
Hu Jiaojiao looked helpless as she glanced at the complicated drawings. It took her a long time to understand them. And how could Long Mo learn all those size and proportion data immediately
However, looking at Long Mo's persistent eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse.
Forget it, just learn it.
It's a good thing to learn more.
At worst, she can just find new materials to make it.
"Okay, I'll teach you." Hu Jiaojiao nodded, picked up a thin wooden stick from the table, pointed to the number at the top of the drawing, and taught Long Mo from the most basic.
"Here are the numbers, from one to ten."
“These are numbers, quantities, materials, proportions and units.”
"This represents the precision of the parts, and this is the process drawing. The assembly methods of those parts are all in the process drawings..."
Hu Jiaojiao explained everything patiently. Although she didn't think Long Mo would be able to learn it right away, she still told him everything in detail.
If Long Mo is really interested in this, she would of course be happy to teach him. Even if he can't learn it in one go, she can teach him twice, three times, or ten times.
Seeing that Long Mo was listening very seriously and attentively, Hu Jiaojiao had even made plans for long-term teaching.
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Long Mo was staring at the drawings intently.
"Long Mo, you don't have to worry. It took me a long time to learn these things. It's normal that you don't understand them since you just started. Don't be too sad. If you like, I will teach you slowly."
Hu Jiaojiao thought that Long Mo was silent because he didn't understand, so she quickly comforted him in a gentle voice.
