"Mom, why is your mouth red?"
In the evening, the kids returned home. Long Yao sat at the dining table. For the first time, his eyes were not fixed on the food, but he looked at Hu Jiaojiao's face with concern.
"Is mother sick?" Upon hearing this, Long Zhong immediately turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao.
He reacted the fastest. He took off his shoes almost without hesitation, stood up on the chair, stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hand just enough to touch Hu Jiaojiao's forehead.
"Sick? Mother is sick!" Long Linger held down her restless hands and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with worry, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
The three kids, Long Yu, Long Xiu and Yin Cang, have already pushed their chairs away.
Yin Cang was about to open the door, and the remaining two cubs, one holding a cloak and the other holding a scarf, said in unison:
"Let's take mother to see a witch doctor!"
It is no small matter when a female gets sick.
The kids felt very guilty, thinking that they had spent less time at home recently and had not taken good care of their mother, causing her to work so hard that she fell ill.
They are such an incompetent kid.
When Long Mo came out of the kitchen, he saw the cubs in a fierce battle.
"Ahem..." Hu Jiaojiao coughed lightly, covered her mouth with one hand, and stroked Long Yao's head with the other hand as if stroking a little hand, and explained awkwardly: "My mother's mouth is originally red."
"And you guys, stop guessing. Mom is fine. She's not sick. Come sit down and eat."
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the other cubs.
Long Xiu was the smartest one, he reacted immediately, put down his scarf and said:
"I'm sorry, mother. We were wrong."
Long Yu also reacted very quickly. He pulled Long Zhong off the chair and sat back on it together. "I'm hungry. Mom, let's eat."
Long Mo glanced at the cubs, walked to Hu Jiaojiao with his long legs, and pulled a chair for her.
Fox gave him a coquettish look with a blaming look in her eyes, as if to say: It's all your fault!
Long Mo had a smile in his eyes and nodded slightly, accepting all her complaints.
Seeing this, Long Linger raised her hands and placed them on her temples to block her vision, then lowered her head and looked silently at the dishes in front of her.
Daddy is ahead.
Be careful of disaster.
Long Yao was the only one in the family who was not precocious. Hearing this, he frowned seriously, thought for a moment, and asked in confusion:
"But my mouth wasn't this red before. It was even swollen!"
He is such a clever little fellow!
Long Yao was even a little proud. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the other cubs as if he had discovered a new continent.
"You all don't care about your mother, and you can't even see this. Xiaowu is the most observant..."
Several of the kids' faces turned dark.
Long Yu shook his head at him.
Long Linger winked at him to stop talking.
Long Yao was not panicked at all. He came to the conclusion seriously:
"Mother, your mouth must have been bitten by a bug!"
"puff!"
Hu Jiaojiao was just about to take a sip of soup to calm herself down, but ended up spitting it all out.
Sitting opposite her was Long Yao.
Long Yao's voice stopped abruptly: "..."
The imported soup suddenly sprayed in his face.
The wet soup flowed down his hair and chin, dripping onto the table with a "plop, plop" sound.
Long Yao was stunned, his red eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
Several kids covered their eyes at the same time.
It's too shameful to watch!
"I'm sorry, Yao'er, mother didn't mean it." Hu Jiaojiao reacted and quickly put down the bowl to apologize to Long Yao.
"Mother..."
Long Yao's mouth flattened instantly, and his soft voice became tearful.
His eyes were already red, and now they were tearful, becoming the shape of fried eggs, and he looked extremely aggrieved.
"Mom, I'll take Xiaowu to wipe it." Long Yu was the first to take action. He walked forward and pulled Long Yao to the backyard. Before Long Yao started crying loudly, he immediately took him away from this "place of trouble."
Finally it became quiet.
Several kids breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It’s too difficult…
With Xiaowu around, it’s really hard to have a good meal!
After dinner, the kids all went to sleep.
Hu Jiaojiao caught Long Mo angrily and gave him a lesson:
"It's all your fault. You messed with that in broad daylight, and the kids noticed something was wrong!"
"Which one?"
Long Mo raised his eyebrows and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
Hu Jiaojiao glared at him, almost stamping her feet in anger, "You are still playing dumb."
Long Mo suddenly raised his chin slightly, bent down and moved close to Hu Jiaojiao's cheek, with only a millimeter between them.
"Okay, then we'll come at night."
Fox Jiaojiao: "!!!"
Is she discussing this!
Before Hu Jiaojiao could say anything, Long Mo picked her up and carried her sideways.
"Long Mo, what are you doing again?" Hu Jiaojiao exclaimed.
"It's evening now."
Long Mo's voice was calm, and his mellow and pleasant voice was touching.
Another sleepless night.
The next day, Hu Jiaojiao did not get up in the morning, so Long Mo volunteered to make breakfast for the cubs, and then took the drawings and catapult samples to the patriarch.
For the next ten days, Long Mo stayed with the chief during the day, teaching the orcs how to read blueprints and make catapults.
Just as Hu Jiaojiao had imagined, it was not so easy for the orcs to learn. It took a total of fifteen days to complete the first trebuchet.
And at night, Long Mo was still working tirelessly.
Working hard with Hu Jiaojiao, she completed the great task of having a baby.
This day.
Long Mo was about to go out, but when he opened the door he found Ying Yuan standing at his door.
"What are you doing here?"
Long Mo looked unfriendly and asked in a cold tone.
Facing the male that Hu Jiaojiao had liked before, there was no way he could be nice to Ying Yuan.
"Do you think I want to come?" Ying Yuan snorted coldly, his face full of reluctance.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand stretched out from behind him and gently twisted his waist. A soft scolding voice came from behind him:
"Yingyuan, don't talk to Long Mo like that."
Lu Mian'er walked out from behind Ying Yuan and smiled apologetically at Long Mo, "Sorry, we didn't mean any harm. I heard that Jiaojiao hasn't been out for more than ten days, so I came to see her."
As she spoke, she asked Ying Yuan to hand the two freshly killed sika deer to Long Mo.
Explains:
"I heard that Jiaojiao taught me how to use the well. I also want to thank Jiaojiao. This is the prey I just caught yesterday. Let Jiaojiao have a taste."
As winter progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to catch fresh prey.
Although this amount of prey is nothing to Long Mo.
But Lu Mian'er only has Ying Yuan as his partner, and the number of prey he can catch in a day is limited. The fact that Lu Mian'er can generously send such a large prey is enough to show her sincerity.
Long Mo still had no expression on his face, but the indifference in his eyes was no longer as hostile as before. He said in a cold voice, "Leave it there."
Although it was the prey that the eagle caught far away, it was Lu Mian'er's love.
He did not refuse without authorization.
Just because he himself doesn't need friends doesn't mean Jiaojiao doesn't need them.
