Long Mo's eyes fell on Hu Jiaojiao's bulging chest.
His Adam's apple rolled, "Is it here?"
He looked at the sky and thought that the baby wouldn't be back so soon.
Hu Jiaojiao nodded and said as a matter of course: "If not here, then where? There is no one else here."
After hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Long Mo's gaze gradually became hot.
The next second, Hu Jiaojiao took out a golden stone from her arms.
"Long Mo, look at this stone, do you know what it is?" Hu Jiaojiao looked up at him and asked expectantly.
"… "
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao's serious expression, Long Mo slowly exhaled.
Look at the stone in her hand.
“No.”
Hearing Long Mo's answer, Hu Jiaojiao showed a regretful expression.
"You don't recognize it either. It seems like this is just an ordinary stone. You still say it's a treasure..."
Apart from glowing, being used to crack walnuts and acting as a light bulb, it's pretty useless.
"Is this something we dug out from the mine?" Seeing Hu Jiaojiao's lost expression, Long Mo asked again.
"Yes." Hu Jiaojiao nodded.
Long Mo couldn't bear to see her unhappy, so he thought about it and suggested:
"The patriarch is knowledgeable and may recognize it."
Although it is a stone, it glows.
Long Mo had never seen a glowing stone, so he thought this stone must not be an ordinary stone.
Hu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.
As it was still early, the two of them went directly to the clan leader's house.
Hu Jiaojiao took out the stone and asked the tribe leader.
The chief was surprised: "Is this a stone? This stone can glow, it's so beautiful!"
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
She shouldn't have hoped.
After learning that the clan leader also didn't know the origin of the stone, Hu Jiaojiao simply gave up.
He casually threw the stone into the corner of the space.
After that, I ignored the stone.
…
Although there are no lights in the space, the shelves are brightly lit and have their own light.
The stone was thrown to the ground and rolled into a corner.
In the quiet space, the only sound that could be heard was the thumping of rolling stones.
After rolling for more than ten times, the stone hit the prey that Hu Jiaojiao had piled up in the space and had not yet dealt with.
The stone stopped and strangely turned around in a circle.
“Ha~”
A soft yawn sounded in the space.
Then, there was a long series of "gurgling" sounds, as loud as drums in the silent space.
The golden stone suddenly flashed with two small red halos.
Its face was red as it moved closer to its prey little by little like a fat baby moving its butt.
Wait until it touches its prey.
The golden light all over his body exploded like a kitten's fur.
The stone shook its body excitedly, and suddenly a pink mouth appeared under the golden light and bit the prey.
He started to eat secretly and diligently.
It is small in size, so small that it can hardly be found among the piles of prey.
Hu Jiaojiao had no idea what was happening in the space.
…
Life in the tribe returned to normal again.
Since getting the iron ore back, Hu Qinglu began his days of seclusion the next day, staying indoors for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating as long as possible.
Fortunately, he made great contributions to the tribe, so the chief directly packaged his supplies and counted them as part of the tribe's supplies.
Without the major threat of the Canglang Tribe, Hu Qinglu doesn't have to rush to build a lookout tower. He can study it slowly when he has time.
Other crops planted in the fields are also gradually maturing.
The orcs were busy with their own things.
Those who hunt hunt, those who reap reap, and those who weave weave.
It can be said that this is a wonderful life for farmers and weavers.
Hu Jiaojiao finally had time to visit the school that she hadn't had time to see before.
There are few cubs in the tribe, and for now there is only one teacher, Hu Jiaojiao. She plans to use a large room as a classroom and keep another spare classroom.
The school has only one floor with five rooms in total, and two large courtyards in the front and back.
Hu Jiaojiao planned to use the front yard for activities with her cubs, and use the back yard and the remaining three rooms for papermaking.
Since you want to study, paper is indispensable.
Development is the foundation of civilization and progress.
Although papermaking will cause some damage to the forest, Fox Jiaojiao will not cut down trees excessively, and only uses trees that must be cut down for road construction.
The orcs grew up in the forest and understand best the importance of protecting the forest.
Any choice is a two-way street.
On this point, Fox Jiaojiao and the orcs reached a consensus.
With the lessons learned from humans, Fox Jiaojiao does not want to cause damage to nature due to excessive deforestation.
The school was built, and then tables, chairs, benches, and teaching aids were provided.
You can't let the kids stand and write in class.
Tables, chairs and benches can be made by Hou Xiaotiao, as this is what he is best at.
As for things like the blackboard and pen, Hu Jiaojiao took them out directly from the space.
Anyway, I have the Beast God as a shield, so it doesn’t matter if I take the blame one more time.
However, she did not plan to take the paper used by the cubs from the space. She directly asked Monkey Xiaotiao to customize dozens of small wooden boards, and sealed them with finger-high wooden boards on all sides.
Fill it with sand and it becomes a simple calligraphy practice board.
You can practice calligraphy with a small wooden stick. After writing one character, just wipe it horizontally with the stick and you can reuse it.
When cubs first start learning to write, they basically just scribble. They should practice with sand first. After they have learned, they can use paper, which can save a lot of paper.
Anyway, orcs don’t have to take exams, and don’t have to worry about the rate of admission to higher education. As long as the cubs can learn, it doesn’t matter if they learn a little slowly.
Another week passed.
Hou Xiaotiao prepared the tables, chairs and benches and brought them over.
Hu Jiaojiao also visited the orcs' homes in the tribe with the chief and collected a list of the cubs who were going to attend the school.
Many new cubs were born after the winter. There are now many cubs in the tribe, but their ages are uneven, some are big and some are small.
Hu Jiaojiao decided to set the school admission age between six and fourteen years old.
Cubs over fourteen years old must begin to try to go out of the tribe to hunt with the orcs. The ability to hunt is the foundation of orcs, and Hu Jiaojiao does not want to put the cart before the horse.
There were quite a few cubs of this age, as many as fifty.
Fortunately, the classroom is built large, so there is no problem of not having enough seats.
Orcs have excellent eyesight and hearing, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see the blackboard or hear the teacher's speech.
With the orcs' talents, Hu Jiaojiao felt it was a pity not to let them go to school.
The next day.
Hu Jiaojiao got up early and prepared to go to school.
Long Mo couldn't bear to let her be busy, so he helped her make a fire and prepare breakfast before going out hunting.
Today is the first day of school for the kids. They are all very excited. Some are even more active than Hu Jiaojiao. After breakfast, they wash the dishes by themselves and happily go out with Hu Jiaojiao.
Hu Jiaojiao originally planned to go to the school to wait for the cubs.
However, she didn't expect that when she arrived, a group of orcs had already arrived outside the school.
They are all females who brought their cubs.
