The original body was notorious in the tribe, and the females made no secret of their ridicule and disdain for her.
Hu Jiaojiao ignored them all. After all, they hated their original bodies, not themselves.
She just wanted to find an excuse to take supplies out of the space. They could say whatever they wanted, as she wouldn't lose any weight because of it.
Not long after, all the females arrived, a total of thirteen females. Most of the females in the tribe came, except Houxiang, who had just given birth to a cub and was not suitable to leave the tribe.
The original body's mother, Hu Min, also came. She was very surprised to see Hu Jiaojiao was there too.
Then she thought again, her child has grown up now, and she was filled with joy. She held her hand affectionately all the way and walked with her at the end of the team.
After leaving the tribe, the road in the dense jungle was not easy to walk on. There were huge trees all around that blocked out the sun, and even the sunlight could not penetrate.
The chief and three males personally guarded them, and an hour later, the beasts walked out of the dense forest and came to a relatively flat ground.
Hu Jiaojiao took a quick glance and found that there were a lot of potatoes growing on the flat land.
It seems that today's goal is to dig potatoes.
While he was thinking, the chief had already walked in front of the animals with tools in hand, "Everyone come and get the animal bones, and try to dig up more fruits to prepare for this winter's food storage. If there are other edible fruits, pick them together and take them back."
Hu Jiaojiao and Hu Min went forward together to get the tools.
The animal bone tool is as long as an arm, one side is sharpened like a small flower shovel, and the other side is rough and round. It is the most commonly used tool by orcs.
A dozen females received tools and began to find places to dig potatoes. The clan leader and three males patrolled around to prevent attacks by wild beasts and protect the safety of the females.
Every autumn, the clan leader organizes the females to spend half a month to a month digging for fruits and picking edible fruits.
The males organize hunting teams to capture prey and go to the seaside to exchange sea salt with the orcs in the sea before winter comes to ensure that the orcs in the tribe will have enough salt to use next year.
Therefore, any food obtained by the gathering and hunting teams belonged to the tribe.
Hu Jiaojiao already knew this information when she was reading this novel.
Because many orcs died of poisoning after eating unfamiliar fruits, the fruits that the orcs were familiar with and could eat were limited. For this reason, there was not enough food in the tribe almost every winter.
Hu Jiaojiao came up with this idea in order to find more edible fruits and vegetables to plant and change the tragic event of being attacked by orcs in winter.
She deliberately went to a farther place with Hu Min to dig potatoes.
However, after searching around, she found...
She overthought it.
There were only potatoes and weeds here, and no edible plants that she knew of.
Sure enough, novels are all lies!
What the heroine said about finding a lot of fruits and vegetables in the forest is totally a lie, she didn't even see a single hair!
The orcs are not fools. If there was really something edible, they would have discovered it long ago, and it would not be her turn.
Hu Jiaojiao felt a little dejected and could only accept her fate and dig potatoes.
Forget it, potatoes are potatoes. If we can harvest a wave of potatoes before winter comes, at least we can prevent the orcs from going out to look for food in winter and attract enemies.
Hu Jiaojiao is very nimble and has done a lot of farm work in the countryside when she was a child. Soon, hills of potatoes have been piled up on the animal skins spread on the ground.
Hu Min looked at her in surprise, "Jiao Jiao, when did you become so good at work?"
Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao’s body stiffened.
Oh no, I forgot that my original body’s mother was next to me. Could she have discovered me
Just as Hu Jiaojiao was racking her brains for how to explain, Hu Min suddenly grabbed her hand, tears in her eyes.
"Jiaojiao, you've suffered a lot. It must be because Long Mo is not in the tribe. You've done a lot of work. Now you're so skilled at doing things. Mother feels sorry for you..."
This is a big misunderstanding.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, her voice lacking confidence: "No, Mom, actually I didn't do much work, maybe I just have a talent for work."
The kids used to do all the housework, okay
The original body wished that except for seeing Ying Yuan, he could eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the house.
Hu Min, however, became more certain of her guess, with a distressed look on her face: "Jiaojiao, mother knows everything, mother understands, you don't need to explain."
Fox Jiaojiao: No, you don’t understand…
"Jiaojiao, why don't you think about finding another partner? In the tribe besides Ying Yuan, there are still many outstanding males..." Hu Min said earnestly.
The original body looked down on everyone because she liked Ying Yuan. If Lu Mian'er hadn't thrown her into Long Mo's bed, she would probably still be single now.
Thinking of the five poor cubs at home, Hu Jiaojiao refused without thinking.
"Mom, I don't like Eagle to be far away, and I don't want to find a new mate. I just want to raise the five cubs well."
What an international joke.
She wants to stop Zizi and the big villain from turning evil, not to seek death!
She really can't do the thing of playing two boats at the same time, especially when one of them belongs to a brutal and cruel villain.
Hu Min looked lost, his brain short-circuited for a while, and then he suddenly realized what Hu Jiaojiao said, with a look of surprise, "Jiaojiao, what did you say, do you really not like Ying Yuan?"
"Really." Hu Jiaojiao nodded affirmatively.
"Great, you finally figured it out!"
"Our Jiaojiao is so nice. Yingyuan doesn't like you. It's because he has a problem with his eyes!"
Hu Min cried with joy.
For so many years, she had seen how her precious cub was despised by Ying Yuan. She had long ago advised the cub to give up Ying Yuan, but she refused to listen. Now she finally figured it out.
Hu Jiaojiao laughed dryly twice and nodded in agreement.
I secretly complained in my heart: If I were to say what the difference is between the original body and Lu Mian'er, apart from the personality, it is probably that the original body does not have the aura of the protagonist!
Not far away, Lu Cuicui saw the two of them talking and laughing. She gritted her teeth, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she walked up to Hu Jiaojiao.
With a cry of "Ouch", he kicked the potatoes that Hu Jiaojiao had piled up all over the floor.
Hu Min stood up angrily, put her hands on her hips and yelled without any courtesy: "Lu Cuicui, don't you have eyes? If your legs can't walk, cut them off and feed them to the dogs!"
"Oh, sorry, I just saw that you were digging too slowly, so I wanted to help..."
Lu Cuicui pretended to be frightened and took two steps back. As she spoke, her feet made a few crackling sounds and she crushed several potatoes.
"You!" Hu Min was immediately furious, looking at the crushed potatoes with a face full of heartache.
This is food for the winter. If one fruit is missing, there will be one less thing to eat in the winter.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I'll give you what I dug as compensation, don't be angry..."
Lu Cuicui walked forward with an apologetic look on her face and pulled Hu Min's arm. Her eyes glanced at a stone hidden in the haystack behind her. A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and she suddenly increased the strength in her hand and pushed her back hard.
