late at night.
Hu Jiaojiao woke up from a nightmare, her fur skirt was soaked.
She opened her eyes and first touched her healthy hands and feet, then hurriedly got up and looked at the cubs who were still sleeping, and her breathing gradually calmed down.
Fortunately, it was just a dream...
Recalling what happened in the dream, Hu Jiaojiao frowned tightly.
She dreamed that Lu Mian'er was captured and insulted by a group of stray orcs while picking local fruits. When Ying Yuan found out, he was furious and rushed to the stray orcs' nest and killed them all.
After Lu Mian'er returned, he became depressed and eventually committed suicide!
This is a plot that does not exist at all in the original book. After Lu Mian'er died, the orc world began to collapse. Mountains collapsed, volcanoes erupted collectively, and tsunamis submerged the mountains and forests. She, her cubs, and all the orcs died in this collapsing world.
The more Hu Jiaojiao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did Lu Mian'er die
Could it be that my arrival changed the characters' endings and created a butterfly effect
Lu Mian'er is the protagonist of this world. If she dies, the world will lose its meaning, so it collapses
What she dreamed about last time came true, so what she dreamed about this time would also come true...
Thinking of this, Hu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.
So, she not only has to defeat the big villain, but also prevent Lu Mian'er from dying!
She had finally adapted to the life here and was determined to survive, but she couldn't lose the chance to work hard just because of Lu Mian'er.
Cannon fodder also has the right to live!
Hu Jiaojiao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep the whole night.
With something on my mind, I got up early the next morning to prepare a hearty breakfast for the cubs.
She is afraid.
She was afraid that she would not be able to stop Lu Mian'er this time, and this would be the last meal for her and her cubs.
Several cubs were awakened by the delicious smell. Even though their lives had improved a lot, they were still extremely sensitive to the taste of food.
Long Ling'er rubbed her eyes and walked out in a daze, "Mom, why are you up so early today? Ling'er is here to help you..."
Every day when cooking, Long Linger would help Hu Jiaojiao, and the male cubs would consciously take charge of collecting firewood.
Long Linger walked into the yard as usual, and when she opened her eyes, she was stunned by the table full of delicious food.
"This, this much food, mother, how did you make so much? Can we finish it?" Long Linger opened her little mouth wide.
"No need to help, Ling'er go wake them up, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Hu Jiaojiao turned around, smiled gently, and set the dishes on the table.
A few days ago, Hou Xiaotiao helped to make the tables and chairs and delivered them to them. The shapes of the tables and chairs were not regular, but irregular rectangles. The chairs were several half-meter-high benches, which were enough for their whole family to sit on.
Long Linger walked into the house in a daze and called out the other kids.
A family of six sat at the table.
"Eat? Why don't you move? Don't you have an appetite?" Seeing the five cubs sitting motionless like sculptures, Hu Jiaojiao asked puzzledly.
"Have you finished preparing the food? What are we going to eat tomorrow?" Long Yu glanced at the yard and found that there was no extra food.
"Are you trying to trick us into finishing the food so that you can find an excuse to throw us away?" Long Zhong stared at Hu Jiaojiao with a wary look on his face.
Before, Hu Jiaojiao was afraid that they would get sick from eating too much, so she didn't dare to prepare too much food. As a result, the cubs saw so much food and suspected that she had other intentions.
Long Yao blinked and looked at Hu Jiaojiao pitifully.
He placed his two dragon claws on his lower abdomen, his expression hesitant, and finally he made up his mind, swallowed his saliva, and roared as if he was going to the battlefield.
"Oh!" Mother, please don't abandon us. Yaoer should eat less in the future.
Hu Jiaojiao's heart softened. She looked at them with amusement and said as she served the soup, "What nonsense are you talking about? Mother made so much food today because your father will be back soon. He will bring back a lot of food and will not let you go hungry in the future."
She knew that the cubs missed Long Mo very much, so if she used Long Mo as an excuse, they would naturally not doubt it.
Even if Long Mo didn't come back, she wouldn't let her cubs starve.
"Daddy is coming back! That's great." Upon hearing that Long Mo was coming back, Long Linger's eyes lit up and an expression of joy filled her face.
The other cubs looked at Hu Jiaojiao suspiciously.
As if trying to find the truth in her words.
"Okay, eat quickly, or it will get cold. After you finish eating, mother has to go to the picking team."
Hu Jiaojiao rubbed the cubs' heads one by one and changed the subject.
The cubs withdrew their gaze and started eating attentively.
The smile on Hu Jiaojiao's face was tinged with a hint of worry. Counting the days, Long Mo would probably be back in the next two days. She hadn't even seen what the big villain looked like!
What should she do if he looks extremely hideous and horrible
While Hu Jiaojiao was thinking, she had only taken a few bites when an orc came to call her to join the picking team.
Hu Jiaojiao took two bites and left.
A few cubs raised their heads from their bowls and followed Hu Jiaojiao's back with puzzled eyes.
Long Zhong frowned, "Do you think she's a little strange today?"
Long Linger was also very distressed, "Mother must not want Dad to come back, so she is unhappy."
Long Yu nodded in agreement, "Well, she has never liked Daddy."
“Babble, babble…” It’s delicious. If you don’t want to eat it, then I won’t be polite.
When the three kids came to their senses, they saw that their bowls had been eaten up completely, not even a drop of oil left.
"Xiaowu!"
Three roars rang out simultaneously.
Long Yao pursed his lips and sat at the table, with a thoughtful look on his cold and pale face.
…
Fox Jiaojiao and the females came to the picking place.
This time they were not picking native fruits, but other fruits.
The road in the mountains was rugged and difficult to travel on. It took the orcs about two hours to reach their destination.
What’s different from last time is that this time the picking site has a rich variety of plants.
Among them, grapefruit and persimmon are the main fruits picked.
Grapefruit can be stored for a long time in winter without going bad, and persimmons can be dried and made into persimmon cakes. Although the orcs do not know how to make persimmon cakes, after trying, they know that persimmons can still be eaten even after being dried.
Any fruit that can be stored until winter is the orcs' reserve food.
Hu Jiaojiao looked around and found several kinds of fruits that she was familiar with, but she had no intention of picking them now. Her whole mind was on Lu Mian'er.
The females who pick fruits take turns coming out. Hu Min didn't come today, so Hu Jiaojiao was isolated as usual.
But she didn't care at all. She followed Lu Mian'er with the animal skin bag in her hand, as if she would follow Lu Mian'er wherever he went.
Hu Jing, who was inseparable from Lu Mian'er, couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He threw away the animal skin bag in his hand and turned around to glare at Hu Jiaojiao.
"Hu Jiaojiao, go somewhere else and stop following us."
