He wanted to see what else she wanted to do.
Do you want to put salt into his wound? Or do you want to put sand into his wound
Hu Jiaojiao untied the animal skin on Long Mo's upper body, and a strong smell of blood wafted into his nose. What came into view were countless centipede-like scars.
There was a blunt wound the size of two palms on the chest, and blood was flowing out continuously.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but gasp.
"Why is it so serious?"
Although no bone was visible in the wound, the injured area was too large and the skin and flesh were broken, looking like rotten meat that had been squeezed, and it looked very hideous.
Such a large area of wound cannot be sutured, and the only thing to do is wait for the wound to scab and heal on its own. However, this process is long and painful for Long Mo.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't dare to delay and hurried into the house pretending to get something, but actually took out disinfectant and medicine from the space and carefully helped Long Mo clean the wound.
She was so engrossed in the game that she didn't realize that she and Long Mo were too close at the moment, and his warm breath hit the wound.
Long Mo gritted his teeth and endured it, with layers of sweat on his forehead.
However, his face remained expressionless and indifferent, as if he was not the one suffering.
The sinister gaze fell on Hu Jiaojiao's face with scrutiny.
There was a hint of trance in the deep animal pupils, but it was soon replaced by a hint of coldness.
She must have done this to show off to Ying Yuan!
Hu Jiaojiao didn't notice anything unusual about Long Mo. After applying medicine and bandaging him, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bleeding slowly stop.
"Okay, don't let your wound touch water or do strenuous exercise in the next few days, lest it burst. You need to rest well so that the wound can heal faster."
While packing her things, she gave Long Mo serious instructions.
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that Long Mo hated him so much now and would probably not listen to him.
So he added, "If your wound doesn't heal quickly, you won't be able to hunt, and then you won't be needed to raise the cubs."
Long Mo's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and blurted out two words, "I know."
Only then did Hu Jiaojiao reveal a satisfied smile.
Turning around, she saw Long Mo was about to put on the blood-stained animal skin, so she quickly snatched the skin away.
"What are you doing?" Long Mo looked at her unhappily.
"This animal skin is covered in blood, of course it needs to be washed. How can we wear it directly? It's so dirty." Hu Jiaojiao curled her lips, a little frightened by Long Mo's vicious eyes, but still mustered up the courage to refute.
Long Mo frowned and looked down at the strange things on his body, feeling very weird.
But thinking of Hu Jiaojiao's words, she pursed her lips.
"I'll go wash it." He reached for the hide.
"I just told you that your wound cannot get wet. Go back and rest. I'll do it."
Hu Jiaojiao hid the animal skin behind her and went to the river to wash it without saying a word.
Outside the courtyard.
The five cubs were hiding under a tree. When they saw Fox Jiaojiao coming out, they quickly hid themselves. They waited until Fox Jiaojiao had passed by before they carefully poked their heads out.
"Mom seems a little unhappy. Did she have a fight with Dad?" Long Linger supported her little face, looking confused.
"It's daddy who is unhappy. She didn't even let him wear animal skins." Long Zhong snorted coldly, took a big bite of the persimmon in his hand, and retorted.
"No, mother is not like that." Long Linger pouted, an expression of dissatisfaction appearing on her fair little face.
"Last time I was bitten by a poisonous snake, it was mother who saved me. I heard that mother also beat Lu Li badly. Mother avenged me personally, and she is doing fine now."
Long Linger tried hard to defend Hu Jiaojiao.
"Okay." Long Yu interrupted their conversation calmly, "The point is not who is angry, but whether she will chase Dad away today."
Hearing Long Yu's words, Long Ling'er immediately lost her temper, "Ah... But if mother is unhappy, she will definitely not keep father, what should I do then?"
The kids looked at each other. Although they had not yet fully accepted Hu Jiaojiao, they hoped that Long Mo could get along well with her, so that she might not become as scary as before.
Just then, Long Xiu suddenly gave a reminder.
"Daddy is injured, isn't he? She was the one who took care of Ling'er last time she was injured. If she could take care of daddy, he wouldn't have to leave."
"Tsk, is she that good that she can take care of daddy? I don't believe it." Long Zhong curled his lips, lay down with his hands on his head, his tone full of disbelief.
Long Ling'er suddenly had an idea and her two sparkling eyes lit up.
Hu Jiaojiao washed the animal skin and went back to the yard to start cooking.
It was almost dark, and fortunately Long Mo had already processed two prey and the meat had been cut neatly.
In order to avoid Long Mo's suspicion, she directly used the meat that Long Mo brought back for dinner, and just added some ingredients and vegetables to it. Anyway, it couldn't be distinguished after mixing them together.
"Mother."
Hu Jiaojiao was cutting meat when she suddenly heard Long Linger's voice.
When she turned around, she saw a pair of small hands grabbing the hem of her skirt. Long Linger tilted her head back, her eyes blurred with tears, looking at her pitifully.
"What's wrong, Ling'er? Who bullied you?"
Hu Jiaojiao felt a chill in her heart and quickly put down the things in her hands, wiped her hands, squatted down and hugged Long Linger.
Long Linger shook her head. "Mother, it's already dark. Can you please not chase Dad away?"
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned. When did she say she wanted to chase Long Mo away
Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't dare.
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao did not answer immediately, Long Linger gently shook Hu Jiaojiao's arm and continued carefully.
"Mom, Daddy brought back a lot of prey, and he was injured while hunting. Daddy must be in pain. Mom, please take him in for a few days. My brothers and I miss Daddy so much..."
Long Linger didn't know how Long Mo got injured and thought it was caused by hunting.
Listening to the soft and tender voice of the cub, Hu Jiaojiao felt a tender feeling in her heart.
She raised her hand and touched Long Linger's cheek, and said softly, "Mother will not chase Father away. Our family will live a good life in the future. Mother promises."
Thinking that Long Mo was still injured, the slight unhappiness in her heart disappeared.
Long Mo was injured while trying to save her. So it seems that he does have some feelings for her original body, at least it is not beyond redemption.
She needs to strike while the iron is hot and be nicer to Long Mo, only then will she have a chance to clear her name!
Long Linger blinked her misty eyes and asked excitedly: "Really?"
But soon, she pouted and looked unconvinced.
"But mother was just angry with father..."
"Ahem... I, I'm not angry with him, Ling'er, you've got it wrong." Hu Jiaojiao coughed lightly and looked away.
She admitted that she was a little bit harsh towards Long Mo just now.
She was an ordinary person, with her own joys and sorrows, and she would get angry unconsciously when she heard unpleasant words. But now thinking back, Long Mo said those words because of his original self and it had nothing to do with her, so she calmed down.
"Really? But mother won't let father work. Only the despised males in the tribe are not qualified to work."
