Long Mo had just woken up and his injuries had not healed yet, so Hu Jiaojiao asked him to rest more.
She had slept for a while on the edge of the bed at night, and after hearing what happened just now, she was no longer sleepy. She simply washed her face and went downstairs to make breakfast.
When I went upstairs to Long Linger's room, I found that several cubs were sleeping in a mess on the blanket on the floor. Only Yin Cang was leaning against the bed with his head down, seemingly still maintaining the sleeping posture.
A strange thought flashed through Hu Jiaojiao's mind. This child, she always felt that he was a little too persistent. Was it her illusion
The noise coming from downstairs brought Hu Jiaojiao back to her senses. Without thinking too much, she went straight downstairs.
Diecai was in the yard, standing at the gate. The door was open with a gap as big as her head. She was raising her hand hesitantly, as if wondering if she could push it open.
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao coming down the stairs, he withdrew his hand and smiled at her.
“Jiaojiao.”
Hu Jiaojiao then remembered that there was a female in the family.
She hurried over and opened the door.
Die Cai helped a lot yesterday. If she hadn't gone back in time to call Hu Lin, she would probably have been in trouble alone.
Diecai was still wearing that tattered clothes. She had been busy with bone erosion in the past few days, so Hu Jiaojiao hadn't paid attention to it.
Seeing Diecai, Hu Jiaojiao showed a guilty smile, "I'm sorry Diecai, I haven't taken care of you these days."
"It's okay, it's okay." Die Cai waved her hand, smiling warmly, "I just came to ask, are Ling'er and Long Mo okay?"
The bone erosion yesterday did scare her. She was restless and couldn't sleep well last night. So she came to the door early in the morning, wanting to ask about Long Mo's condition.
After all, he is her backer's backer.
"It's okay now. Ling'er is still sleeping and Long Mo has woken up. You don't have to worry." Hu Jiaojiao explained.
After saying that, she pulled Diecai into the living room.
"Wait for me."
Hu Jiaojiao went to the storeroom and took out a set of clean new linen clothes.
"You are about the same height as me, so you should be able to wear my clothes. They are new and have never been worn. You can wear them for now. I will give you new fabrics when they are delivered."
Since I have agreed to let her live in my house, I can't abuse her and make her wear tattered clothes.
"No, no, I don't want this. I can wear anything. This kind of clothes is too precious." Diecai waved her hands quickly, returned the linen clothes, and backed away.
There were also animal skins among the supplies Hu Lin gave her, but now the weather was hot and she was too lazy to cut the skins. She just waited until the summer was over and then kept the skins to make warm clothes.
Anyway, the animal skin she was wearing was still wearable.
As for the rest, she had never thought about it.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and stuffed the clothes into her hands.
"Put them on. There's water in the water tank. Go wash and change. I still have to make breakfast. After you're done, we can eat together."
She led Diecai to the backyard.
Diecai then caught up, holding the soft linen clothes in her hands, feeling grateful.
"Jiaojiao, thank you."
She looked at Hu Jiaojiao's back and whispered.
The voice was soft, but loud enough for Hu Jiaojiao to hear.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled faintly, "I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't told us about the bone erosion, we might not have been able to solve it, and Yao'er wouldn't have been found so quickly."
She never ignores the significance of anyone or anything.
When talking about this, Diecai felt even more ashamed.
She just provided some information. It was Hu Jiaojiao who came up with the solution, and it was Long Mo who caught Bone Erosion. She felt that she was not of any help.
Hu Jiaojiao was so nice to her, which made her feel a little embarrassed and she stayed at her house.
"The water is there. Go and wash before the cubs come downstairs." Hu Jiaojiao's crisp voice interrupted Die Cai's thoughts.
When the cubs come down soon, Diecai will probably feel even more embarrassed to wash them, as there are only two of them now, and they are both females.
Hearing this, Die Cai turned around without any pretense and went to fetch water for a bath.
Hu Jiaojiao also went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
When she came out after making breakfast, she saw a fair, skinny little female standing outside the door.
Die Cai looked at Hu Jiaojiao with some partiality, "Jiaojiao, thank you for the clothes, they fit me very well."
She is thinner than Hu Jiaojiao, and the clothes are a little big for her body, looking very loose, but it does not look out of place.
After washing her originally dark face, it turned out to be so fair. Even her hair, which was originally as black as mud, turned out to be black with a faint pink color, the same color as her pupils.
Hu Jiaojiao guessed that her animal form must also be pink.
She has delicate cheeks and doesn't look childish. She looks like the girl next door.
"As long as it fits." Hu Jiaojiao smiled, "Come and eat. You must be hungry since you were busy until midnight last night."
Die Cai felt a little embarrassed when Hu Jiaojiao looked at her, and she nodded shyly and followed.
After helping to bring the food from the kitchen to the table, the kids woke up and went downstairs.
"Mom, who is this beautiful aunt?" Long Yao rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
Several cubs also looked at Diecai curiously.
Because he had changed so much, they didn't recognize him at first.
"Stupid Xiaowu, that's Aunt Die." Long Linger said standing behind. She was the most careful of the cubs and she was a female, so she recognized it as Diecai at a glance.
Several cubs looked at Diecai in surprise.
"Is this Aunt Die?" Long Zhong couldn't believe it.
Long Yu smiled and said, "Ling'er was like this before. After mother gave Ling'er a bath for the first time, we almost didn't recognize her."
Long Zhong suddenly realized, "It turns out that Aunt Die had a layer of mud on her body before, no wonder she was so black."
"Zhong'er, don't be so rude." Hu Jiaojiao frowned and taught Long Zhong a lesson.
Die Cai felt a little embarrassed and quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's okay, it's okay. The kids are just curious."
She knew that these cubs were sensible and well-behaved, so she naturally wouldn't be angry with them.
"Ling'er, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Ling'er again.
Apart from the fact that her face was still a little pale, Long Linger looked normal.
"Mom, I'm fine." Long Linger replied with a big smile.
Hu Jiaojiao felt relieved to see that she was in good spirits.
In the following days, Long Linger would go to treat Long Mo every other day.
Long Mo's injuries were also healing slowly.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Hu Jiaojiao would never have believed that there could be such a mysterious thing. A healed injury could worsen again. This also made her more determined to let Long Mo return to the Dragon Tribe as soon as possible.
