I don't know if it's because they've been together for too long.
The movements, expressions, and even the tone of voice are exactly the same.
If one wasn't tall and the other short, and if they didn't look different, Hu Jiaojiao would have thought they were twins.
She looked at what they held.
One is black and the other is white, with long ears, a tail curled up into a ball, and a furry body.
"rabbit?"
Fox Jiaojiao was a little surprised, "Did you go hunting in the forest?"
Little Stone bared his teeth and explained:
"No, this was caught in the rabbit pen in the south of the tribe. The chief said that it was you, Sister Jiaojiao, who taught us how to make this rabbit pen!"
Huang Tian also nodded and added:
"Yes, we have been practicing hunting skills in the rabbit pen recently. Today, Brother Xieman allowed us to bring back the rabbits we caught, so we wanted to give them to Fairy Sister to taste."
They all knew that Ling'er was in a coma and had always wanted to come and visit her, but were afraid of causing trouble for Hu Jiaojiao.
As soon as I caught a rabbit today, I came here immediately.
Only then did Hu Jiaojiao remember that there was a rabbit pen.
I have been too busy recently and have neglected this matter.
There was grass inside, and the rabbits didn't need to be cleaned up or fed, so she hardly had to worry about them, and she almost forgot about it.
I didn't expect that after just one winter, the rabbits there would reproduce so quickly that they could be used by the cubs to practice hunting.
Although it’s not enough to eat, it can still be used.
"Thank you both."
Fox Jiaojiao smiled gently, took the rabbit, looked into their sparkling eyes, and didn't have the heart to refuse their kindness.
She shook the two rabbits in her hands.
These two rabbits are adults, one weighing about twenty pounds, which is not small. No wonder the two little guys are so tired and out of breath after running all the way.
After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, the two little guys lowered their heads in embarrassment, their faces reddening to their ears.
"It's nothing..."
"Fairy sister, we will help you kill the rabbit. Let's roast it today. The meat should be fresh..."
Huang Tian said that he wanted to help.
As soon as he finished speaking and stepped forward, he saw the pile of prey as high as a hill blocking the way behind Hu Jiaojiao.
"Eat..." His voice stopped abruptly.
Huang Tian and Xiao Shitou were so shocked that their mouths could fit as big as a fist.
So much and such big prey!
Their eyes wandered between the hill and the rabbit. In contrast, their rabbit seemed not even enough to fill their teeth.
The two were so embarrassed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
Hu Jiaojiao also saw their expressions, laughed out loud, put the rabbit by the river, and killed it with a knife.
While peeling the skin skillfully, he said:
"Rabbit meat is delicious. I like eating rabbit very much. Thank you two so much for sending me rabbit today. Otherwise, I would have no appetite to eat."
The two little guys with their heads down suddenly moved their ears, looked up in surprise, and looked at Hu Jiaojiao.
“Really?”
"Sister Fairy, do you like eating rabbits?"
Fox smiled gently and nodded, "Well, would I lie to you again?"
Spicy rabbit head and dry pot rabbit meat, she was really greedy.
It's not really a lie.
Huangtian and Xiao Shitou were delighted again, with smiles on their faces.
"Then Sister Fairy, we will catch rabbits for you to eat in the future!"
"Yes, we will give you all the rabbits we catch in the future."
They seemed to have been filled with gas and suddenly had endless power.
The happiness of a cub is so simple.
"Okay." Fox agreed with a smile, and then said, "However, my sister's family hasn't finished eating the prey yet, so we can't waste food. The little rabbits also need to reproduce, so you can't catch all the rabbits."
The two cubs nodded seriously.
"We know."
"Don't catch little rabbits, only old rabbits!"
Hu Jiaojiao was very skillful and cleaned up the two rabbits in no time.
The rabbit skins are washed and placed with other game skins, tanned and stored.
Huangtian and Xiao Shitou also volunteered to help deal with the mountain of prey nearby.
Handling prey is an essential skill for orcs.
The two of them divided the work and used their claws to quickly deal with a large prey, which was even faster than Hu Jiaojiao using a knife.
Seeing that they were reluctant to leave, Hu Jiaojiao said:
"It's time for dinner. I'm going to make something delicious. You guys can stay and eat with me later."
How could Huangtian and Xiao Shitou disturb her? They wanted to refuse right away.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't give them the chance to refuse.
"Just consider it as a thank you for helping me deal with the prey. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have finished it today."
Only then did Huangtian and Xiao Shitou agree.
"Thank you, Sister Jiaojiao. We are in for a treat today!"
"Sister Fairy, we will help you deal with your prey from now on. Leave the rest to us!"
The two of them thanked him and patted their chests.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't want to refuse their kindness, so she told them to be careful, and she took the processed rabbit and prey back to the stone house to prepare food for the evening.
Huangtian and Xiaoshitou are very diligent and conscientious, and work hard.
Not long after, Long Yu and his cubs also came back.
Seeing them working here, they all came over to help.
Little Shitou is lively and cheerful, and gets along well with them. Long Yao likes Little Shitou the most. A group of cubs surround him, chatting and working with him.
Huang Tian was a man of few words. Seeing this, he decided not to join in the fun. He gave up his seat to them and took the prey to the side to wash it.
Before I knew it I had walked a little further away.
When he came to his senses, he could no longer hear the voices of the kids chatting behind him, and could only see a figure in the distance by the river.
There was a hint of loneliness in Huang Tian's eyes.
Although it was not obvious in front of others, his identity was a thorn in his heart. He always felt that he owed them and wanted to work hard to make up for it.
But he was too weak and could do nothing.
Just try not to disturb them.
A trace of envy flashed across Huang Tian's face. He withdrew his gaze, squatted down, put the prey on the shore, cut the prey's skin with his claws, and tried to tear off the animal skin intact.
He was so serious about his work that he didn't notice a figure slowly approaching from behind.
The sun sets.
The golden rays of light fell on the river bank.
Huang Tian suddenly realized something was wrong. His shadow seemed to have suddenly become much larger.
Before he could turn around to check, the black shadow suddenly separated from his shadow and pounced on him like a giant beast from the abyss.
"Hmm..."
Huang Tian was suddenly pushed into the river by a huge force.
The other person covered his mouth with one hand and strangled his neck with the other. He could only struggle with his legs, but the river was not shallow and apart from some small splashes, it was of no use.
Huang Tian couldn't breathe and his face turned red.
At the critical moment, he opened his mouth and bit hard on the arm that was strangling his neck.
