"These are what Hu Lin brought back from the new tribe."
As soon as Hu Min finished speaking, Hu Lin beside him said with a smile.
"There is a lake in the new tribe, right? We recently discovered that there are many big fish in the lake, so we caught some and brought them back for you to try."
As Hu Lin spoke, his eyes were always on Hu Min.
Hu Jiaojiao immediately understood.
How could Second Dad be sending fish? He was clearly using the excuse of sending fish to come back to see Mom.
Now that the road has been repaired, although the new tribe is still under construction, the giant lizard orcs and turtle orcs have moved directly there to live.
There were also some water-loving orcs in the tribe who wanted to go to the new tribe, and Hu Lin took them with him.
Although it only takes half a day to return from the new tribe, Hu Lin basically has no time to come back.
I guess he missed you so much that he found an excuse to come back.
Fox smiled tenderly but said nothing.
Wait until they finish talking before taking out the finished clothes.
"Mother, these are the new clothes I made for you. Summer is coming, and you will be cooler when you wear linen clothes."
Hu Jiaojiao handed the clothes to Hu Min and Hu Qiang, and they both couldn't stop smiling.
Now I have something to show off to the orcs in the tribe.
"Second Dad, these are yours." Hu Jiaojiao also took two sets and handed them to Hu Lin.
After a few months of getting along, Hu Jiaojiao gradually accepted Hu Lin and changed her way of addressing him.
"Me too?" Hu Lin looked flattered.
Seeing this, Hu Qiang on the side snorted coldly, "If you don't want it, give it to me."
As he said that, he reached out to take the clothes.
Hu Lin quickly hid the clothes in his hand behind his back and glared at him, "Who said I don't want it! This is made by Jiaojiao herself. Even if I don't want this skin, I can't give up the clothes made by Jiaojiao!"
He said it as a matter of course.
"I think you are quite shameless." Hu Qiang said unhappily.
Seeing the two bickering as usual, Hu Jiaojiao smiled silently.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her father looked a lot younger after Hu Lin came.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Hu Jiaojiao casually asked about the situation of the new tribe.
"Second father, is the construction of the new tribe going smoothly?"
"It's going well. There are abundant supplies in the forest over there. We don't lack anything for now, and everyone is very motivated to build the tribe."
Hu Lin took the new clothes and answered cheerfully.
The new tribe was also built according to the scale of this place to avoid the need for expansion in the future if new orcs joined.
Anyway, the geographical location there is excellent, and there will be no danger as long as the entrance is guarded.
"By the way, you may not know yet." Hu Lin suddenly remembered something and raised his voice a little.
"Some orcs have recently come to the new tribe and want to join the tribe. I see that they are very enthusiastic about working, so I will ask them to help build the tribe and then give them places to live."
"There are orcs?" Hu Jiaojiao looked over in surprise.
Apart from the accidental encounter with Yin Cang and Yin Gu before, she had not actually met the orcs who came to seek refuge.
It was a bit strange when I first heard it.
"Yes, I heard they came from the north. There seemed to be a drought in the north, and they couldn't survive there, so they migrated here."
Hu Lin nodded and said, thinking of another question.
"Jiaojiao, the north is dry, and we don't know what the summer will be like here. If we don't have water then, what will happen to the crops we grow in the fields?"
The drought must be very serious to force the orcs in the north to migrate.
Hearing Hu Lin's words, Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
"This is indeed a problem. Thanks to Second Father for reminding me. I will go talk to the clan leader about this matter soon."
If there is a real drought, crops grown in the summer will have to be changed, especially crops like rice that require a lot of water.
Otherwise, the crops will die of drought and all the work will be in vain.
Hu Lin nodded, "Okay."
With Hu Jiaojiao's words, he felt relieved.
"Jiaojiao, if it's dry here in the summer, will we have no water to drink?" Hu Min said worriedly.
Although she had lived for several decades longer, she had never seen a drought before.
Water and food are the basis for the survival of orcs. If there is no water, there will be no food.
It is obvious how difficult life would be at that time.
"It's okay, mom. We have a well. Even if the water in the river dries up, we can still draw water from the well to drink." Hu Jiaojiao comforted.
River water will dry up, but the water in underground rivers is not so easy to dry up.
Even if there is no water in the well by then, there will still be water in her space.
After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, Hu Min felt a little relieved.
"I hope this drought isn't that severe..." she murmured under her breath.
She had finally started to live a good life, and she didn't want to be brought back to her old ways.
"Minmin, don't worry. This is only the situation in the north. We may not necessarily face drought here. Don't think too much." Hu Lin quickly spoke to comfort her and changed the subject.
"You're right. Thanks to Jiaojiao for suggesting to build a new tribe, otherwise we wouldn't have known this news in advance, and the tribe wouldn't be able to take in those orcs now."
Hu Lin sighed.
If he had not just learned about the drought from the beastmen from the north, he would have thought that Hu Jiaojiao was a prophet.
"Second father, if the drought is severe, more and more orcs may come to the tribe. You have to be careful. We are not familiar with these orcs. Be careful of them and prevent them from having any bad intentions."
Hu Jiaojiao reminded cautiously.
"Don't worry, I know all this." Hu Lin patted his chest with a relieved expression on his face.
"Apart from this incident, everything is going well in the new tribe. I also found some fruit trees I have never seen before. When the fruits are ripe next time, I will bring them back for you to eat."
Hu Lin looked at Hu Min with a smile.
"Okay, then thank you, Second Dad." Hu Jiaojiao knew that this was Hu Lin's excuse for coming back, so she pretended to know nothing and nodded with a smile.
After greeting the three people, Hu Lin and Hu Qiang personally delivered the fish back to Hu Jiaojiao's home.
Each fish weighed several dozen kilograms, and the two of them brought over more than twenty fish in total.
After saying goodbye to the two people, Hu Jiaojiao temporarily put the fish into the space.
These fish died on the way. Now that summer is approaching, food will spoil quickly, so they can be kept fresh in the room space.
She also had to hurry up and find the patriarch first.
The cubs probably went out to play with their friends and were not at home. After putting the fish away, Hu Jiaojiao went straight to the field.
Sure enough, the chief was working in the fields with the orcs.
Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward and told the clan leader about Hu Lin's guess.
The patriarch's face also became serious. They relied on these crops to "get rich", and there could not be any problems with the fields.
"Jiaojiao, what should we do now? Can we still plant in the summer?"
The patriarch asked with a frown.
"If we can't plant, then we won't plant in the summer. We can all go hunting. It's better than watching the crops in the fields die."
He was afraid that Hu Jiaojiao would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to propose.
