"This is the material I found from the supplies given by the Beast God. I made a pendant for you to wear around your neck. Does it look good?"
Hu Jiaojiao took out the pendant and placed it on Long Mo's neck.
"It looks good." Long Mo was speechless. His strong desire to survive made him say it against his will. He pushed the pendant back and said, "I don't need to wear these. You can wear them."
Since it was given by the Beast God, it must be a good thing.
He subconsciously wanted to give all the good things to Hu Jiaojiao.
"No, I made this especially for you." Hu Jiaojiao frowned and pouted, "You made me a little fox hairpin, I want to give you a gift in return, how can I be the only one receiving the gift?"
"What I give you is yours. If you don't wear it, throw it away."
Long Mo couldn't bear to throw it away.
He wanted to worship the pendant.
"I'll wear it." He changed his tone instantly.
Hu Jiaojiao immediately smiled and hooked her finger at him, "Then I'll help you put it on. From now on, you can't take it off without my permission!"
"Okay." Long Mo lowered his head lovingly, cooperating with Hu Jiaojiao's actions, and let her help him put on the pendant.
"alright."
Hu Jiaojiao put on the pendant and tied a knot so that she couldn't take it off without cutting the rope. Then she clapped her hands in satisfaction.
The pendant has a lock of her hair on it.
In her hometown, there is a custom that giving your loved one your hair as a gift can protect that person's life.
Hu Jiaojiao also made one for Long Mo.
However, there is a bad point about this custom, which is that by using one's own hair, one will be using one's own luck to ward off disaster for the other person in the future.
Unless you are someone who has sworn to live and die together, you absolutely cannot attempt this lightly.
Long Mo stroked the little black dragon pendant on his chest, looking at Hu Jiaojiao's smiling face, and suddenly he felt that this ugly little black dragon was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
It seems... not very ugly.
The six kids downstairs are worried.
Not long after, the two were seen walking down the stairs hand in hand, and a smile appeared on Long's stern face.
Several kids were dumbfounded at the same time.
Long Yao was even more puzzled. Did Daddy become stupid after being scolded? Why did he still smile so happily even after being scolded
…
Three months passed in a flash.
After a winter night, the snowstorm disappeared like a kidnapped child. The temperature suddenly rose, the ice and snow melted, and everything came back to life.
The tribe had plenty of supplies, and despite the bad weather, the orcs spent the most comfortable winter in their lives.
When Hu Jiaojiao woke up, she subconsciously glanced out the window. The snow-covered ground had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by crystal water droplets hanging from the branches.
"Winter is over?"
Her brain, which had just been occupied by sleepiness, suddenly became clear. She sat up suddenly from the bed and found that Long Mo had already got up.
There was also a basin of warm water and a clean animal skin towel on the table.
"This Long Mo, he didn't even call me when he got up." Hu Jiaojiao muttered, quickly got up, washed, and then brought the basin downstairs.
But when she walked into the living room and went to the backyard, she didn't even see the shadow of Long Mo.
"On the first day after winter, could it be that Long Mo went out hunting so early?"
Hu Jiaojiao's face was full of confusion.
At this time, the sun had just peeked out from the clouds in the sky, and a faint golden glow was cast in the backyard.
The weather is very good today. Hu Jiaojiao plans to go upstairs to wake up the cubs, but when she knocks on the door one by one, she gets no response.
When I opened Zaizai's door, I saw that all six rooms were empty.
Fox Jiaojiao: “???”
What happened today
Is she still in a dream
Hu Jiaojiao went downstairs with a complicated expression, and suddenly heard the voices of the cubs coming from outside the door.
She opened the door and saw six kids covered in mud standing outside, moving bricks.
That’s right!
It's moving bricks!
There was a pile of green bricks outside the yard, which were exactly the same green bricks that Hu Jiaojiao had seen at Hou Xiaotiao's house.
The six kids were tirelessly moving blue bricks and lining up to hand them to Long Mo.
Long Mo was bending over and busying himself, sticking blue bricks neatly on the ground and bonding them with resin. Most of the dirt ground in the yard had been covered with a layer of neatly-formed blue bricks, which looked very neat and clean.
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned and didn't understand what they were doing.
"Long Mo, what are you doing?" she asked puzzledly.
"Mom, you're out!" When Long Yao heard Hu Jiaojiao's voice, he immediately dropped the brick in his hand and excitedly jumped into Hu Jiaojiao's arms.
Long Yu stood behind him and quickly grabbed the back collar of Long Yao's clothes.
"Xiaowu, you are dirty, don't make the mother dirty."
"Is Xiaowu dirty? Xiaowu is not dirty!"
Long Yao opened his eyes wide in confusion, and touched his face with his two muddy hands. Suddenly, two more mud marks appeared on his face.
Several kids also stopped what they were doing.
Long Linger showed her two little canine teeth and explained in a sweet voice, "Mom, this is what Daddy wants to do. Daddy said that the snow has melted and the ground in the yard is all muddy. If we lay stones on it, Mom won't get her shoes dirty when she walks!"
Long Zhong curled his lips and revealed the secret without thinking, "There were no more stones in the tribe, so Dad went to find Uncle San and Uncle Xiao Tiao and exchanged all the bricks for food."
Hu Jiaojiao stored a lot of food before winter, and later took out a lot of it from the space under the pretext of the Beast God. The tribe leader also gave her a lot.
She was bored at home all day in the winter, so she started to tinker with various foods. She didn't eat as much meat, but there was still a lot of prey left from Longmotun.
This blue brick was exchanged for his prey, and Long Mo did not touch any of the other supplies.
Because of this, Long Yao felt pain for a long time.
He held the prey tightly and refused to let go until Long Mo promised to catch more prey and Qingzhuan was exchanged for Hu Jiaojiao, then he reluctantly let go.
Long Xiu and Yin Cang were the most silent. They stood behind the cubs without saying a word, but there was approval in their eyes.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the little cubs whose faces were as dirty as cats, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Look at your faces, they are almost covered in mud. Come here quickly, let mother wipe them for you."
She waved her hand and asked the cubs to come over.
Several kids subconsciously looked at Long Mo.
Long Mo nodded. The blue bricks in the yard had been almost laid, with only the last dozen or so left. He would be able to finish it soon.
After getting the nod, the cubs immediately ran to Hu Jiaojiao excitedly, like little chicks being fed by their owner.
Fox Jiaojiao carefully helped the cubs wipe their faces and hands, and asked them to take off their dirty clothes and prepare to wash them. However, the cubs quickly ran away with their dirty clothes.
Long Zhong ran two steps, turned around, and awkwardly explained to Hu Jiaojiao, "We can wash it ourselves, so you don't need to wash it."
