Hu Jiaojiao quickly put down what she was holding and ran out.
After looking at the cubs, he found that it was Long Ling'er who hadn't returned, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Why didn't Ling'er come back with you?"
The cubs all had dark and ugly faces, and their bodies were covered in dust, as if they had just rolled around on the ground. Before they could even open their mouths, Long Yao flew out.
"Ah! Ah!" he cried, his little eyes red, and he turned around anxiously in front of Hu Jiaojiao.
When Hu Jiaojiao saw this, she knew that Ling'er must have been in trouble.
She reached out and hugged Long Yao into her arms, "Don't worry, Yao'er. Mother will find Ling'er. Let the brothers tell us what happened first."
After saying that, she looked at the three cubs inquiringly.
Long Yu's face was gloomy. He glanced at Hu Jiaojiao and said with self-blame in his voice, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Ling'er. We were picking up wood, but when we turned around, Ling'er disappeared..."
Long Zhong also bit his lips tightly, and then continued in a muffled voice, "We looked everywhere we could, but we couldn't find Ling'er. We thought she went home first, so we came back."
Just looking at Hu Jiaojiao's appearance, she definitely didn't see Long Linger either.
Damn him, he actually lost Ling'er!
Hu Jiaojiao's expression also became serious. How could the cub disappear
She remembered that the last time she dreamed that Yao'er got into trouble, it was also caused by his disappearance, but why didn't she dream of Ling'er this time
Seeing the anxious faces of the cubs, Hu Jiaojiao frowned tightly. After thinking for a moment, she asked in a deep voice, "Where did you find Ling'er missing? How long has Ling'er been missing?"
"It was at the place where we often picked up wood. Ling'er disappeared not long after we went out." Long Yu answered quickly and clearly.
For some reason, Long Yu had expectations in her heart. Last time, she was the one who found Xiao Wu. Could she help them find Ling Er this time
How could it disappear out of thin air
Hu Jiaojiao frowned, and in a moment, she thought of something.
There are almost no adult orcs going to the place where the cubs pick up wood. The only ones who often go there are a group of cubs who are also picking up wood.
Long Linger’s disappearance must not have been caused by an adult orc. Could it be that a cub deliberately played a prank on her
Thinking of the possibility in his eyes, Hu Jiaojiao's face turned cold instantly. If she remembered correctly, Xiong Hua should have been released. If he deliberately kidnapped Long Linger out of hatred for revenge, that was the most likely possibility!
Several cubs looked at Hu Jiaojiao nervously. Seeing that she looked not well, they all felt very uneasy.
Will she go find Ling'er
Or is it that because they lost Ling'er, she is angry and is about to show her true colors
Just when the cubs were filled with worry, Hu Jiaojiao suddenly squatted down and touched their heads with a serious but gentle expression.
"Don't worry, mother will find a way to find Ling'er. Don't worry, just wait for mother at home. Mother will go out to look for Ling'er."
After saying that, Hu Jiaojiao got up and prepared to go to Xiong Hua's house.
But as soon as she stood up, she felt her clothes being pulled. Turning back, she saw Long Yu reaching out his hands to pull her clothes with a stubborn look on his face.
"We'll go with you."
Long Zhong, who had always disliked Hu Jiaojiao, also frowned and said hastily, "I want to go too."
Hu Jiaojiao thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay, Yu'er and Zhong'er come with me to find Ling'er. Yao'er and Xiuxiu are at home. Maybe Ling'er will come back by herself in a while."
She comforted the cubs with words.
After calming the cubs down, Hu Jiaojiao took Long Yu and Long Zhong to Xiong Hua's home.
At this time, all the beastmen who went out hunting in the tribe have returned. Every household is busy killing prey and cooking dinner. Smoke is curling up in the tribe, creating a pleasant scene.
After Xiong Hua's house was burned down, Xiong Zhuang found a few males to help and rebuilt a wooden house. However, the wooden house that was built in a hurry was not as good as the previous big wooden house. It was not only small, but also shaky.
Xiong Hua was eating barbecue while cursing, despising Xiong Zhuang for his incompetence.
"Bear ball, come out!"
Suddenly, a clear roar came from outside the door.
Xiong Hua took down his crossed legs, stood up and saw Hu Jiaojiao and her two cubs coming towards him aggressively.
Thinking about the last time she went against Hu Jiaojiao and ended up losing more than she gained, and was even locked up by the tribe leader for several days, she subconsciously shrank her neck and wanted to hide.
Orcs always bully the weak and fear the strong. In the past, Fox Jiaojiao was always bullied because she was a coward. Now that Fox Jiaojiao has become tough, it is Xionghua's turn to be scared.
But before she could enter the house, Hu Jiaojiao had already walked into the yard.
Hu Jiaojiao glanced around and quickly locked her eyes on Xiong Qiu, who was curled up into a ball behind Xiong Hua. "Xiong Qiu, did you capture Ling'er? Tell me quickly."
Long Yu and Long Zhong also stared at the bear ball with sharp eyes. If their eyes could tell the temperature, the bear ball would have been roasted by now.
Xiongqiu was so scared that he trembled all over. He immediately grabbed Xionghua's clothes and hid behind her.
Although Xiong Hua was afraid, he was furious when he saw Hu Jiaojiao, who had only been bullied by him in the past, was so arrogant. He glared back at her with his fat body.
"Hu Jiaojiao, what do you mean? Why do you come to question my Xiongqiu for no reason? My Xiongqiu has provoked you, but don't think that you can bully others just because you have the support of the clan leader!"
The chief has asked Hu Jiaojiao to be in charge of growing the earth fruits, and all the orcs in the tribe know about it. Now everyone knows that Hu Jiaojiao has the chief's support, so they will not take the initiative to provoke her, and Xiong Hua is no exception.
But she couldn't tolerate someone coming to her house to bully her child!
After hearing what Xiong Hua said, Long Zhong immediately retorted angrily, "Ling'er is missing. Xiong Qiu loves to bully us the most. He must have hidden Ling'er."
"Little brat, what are you talking about!" Xiong Hua cursed back subconsciously, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she received a cold look from Hu Jiaojiao, and the rest of the words were stuck in her throat.
He avoided Hu Jiaojiao's gaze with a panicked look and explained bravely, "I mean, my Xiongqiu is so well-behaved and sensible, how could he do such a thing? Don't slander me and talk nonsense."
Hu Jiaojiao also knew that it was indeed a bit impulsive for her to question Xiong Qiu without any evidence, but when she thought about Ling'er being in danger, she could not care less.
He glanced at Xiong Hua coldly and said, "Can you guarantee that he didn't do it? You asked him to stand up and answer my questions. I just asked him to answer me, but I didn't do anything to him."
After saying that, his sharp and scrutinizing gaze fell on Xiongqiu.
Feeling Hu Jiaojiao's gaze, Xiong Qiu avoided her eyes out of guilt and didn't dare to meet her gaze at all.
Hu Jiaojiao could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xiong Qiu. Her face darkened instantly and she asked seriously again, "Xiong Qiu, did you do this? Do you know where Ling'er is? Answer my question!"
