"Didn't Hu Jiaojiao tell you?" The clan leader looked surprised.
When Long Mo heard this, his expression darkened.
The clan leader immediately thought of the bad relationship between the two, smiled, and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry about it, she must not have had time to tell you."
He repeated what Hu Jiaojiao had just said.
Long Mo said nothing and took note of it silently in his mind.
Not long after the two returned home, Hu Jiaojiao discovered that Long Mo was missing.
Thinking about how much Long Mo disliked her, Hu Jiaojiao didn't care. If he kept following her, she would feel uncomfortable!
The animal skin that Long Mo changed last time had several holes in it. Hu Jiaojiao wanted to mend it, but when she thought of the new animal skin at home, she decided to make a new one.
She took the unprocessed hides to Hou Xiang to learn how to tan the hides.
In order to let the five cubs grow up mentally healthy, Hu Jiaojiao brought them along as well, so that they wouldn't have to stay at home all day and be isolated from the outside world.
Hou Xiang also had two cubs. When they saw Long Yu and his four companions, they ran over squeaking and wanted to play with them. They loved them very much.
The three older cubs looked disgusted and wanted to push them away, but they were afraid of getting hurt, so they just sat with stern faces and let them torture them.
"It seems that my cub likes you very much!" Hou Xiang smiled from ear to ear.
Hu Jiaojiao also looked over and was very surprised.
She thought that these three boys would be very hostile to the monkey cub, but she didn't expect that they were actually quite caring for the little cub.
The road to whitewashing has made considerable progress!
Long Yao and Long Ling'er were having a lot of fun playing with the little monkey. They had never had a playmate since they were young, and the brothers were all gloomy and didn't like to talk, or they would say something that deserved a beating when they opened their mouths.
Now that there are finally cubs willing to play with them, they are very excited.
The monkey cubs are still young and don’t understand the beastmen’s twists and turns. They just know that someone is playing with them and they are having a lot of fun.
Fox Jiaojiao also studied tanning animal skins seriously with Hou Xiang.
Half a day passed in a flash.
Hu Jiaojiao brought a total of three large animal skins, one was killed by Long Mo yesterday, and one was killed by her today.
"Okay, go back and put it in a cool place to dry. When it is almost dry, rub the hide until it is soft, then you can use it." Hou Xiang instructed while demonstrating.
"Hou Xiang, thank you." Fox smiled and put away the animal skin.
Hou Xiang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, "What's the big deal? I should thank you for teaching me how to cook."
During this period, she often went to Hu Jiaojiao to learn how to cook.
It's just that without seasoning, the taste of her food is limited, but it is much more delicious than before, and the monkey cubs have gained a lot of weight.
Fox smiled tenderly.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Hou Xiang seemed to be thinner than before, with a smaller belly and less fat on her face.
Orcs don't have mirrors, so they are not as sensitive to changes in themselves.
Just as Hu Jiaojiao was about to talk to her, the monkey cub beside her suddenly started crying loudly.
"The baby is hungry. I'm going to feed him." Hou Xiang hurried over, carried the baby into the house, and prepared to prepare food.
Seeing this, Hu Jiaojiao didn't want to disturb them and took the five cubs back.
Long Yu, Long Xiu and Long Zhong all looked relieved and tired.
Long Linger and Long Yao were reluctant to leave.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at them with amusement, "Come and play next time, there will be plenty of time later."
Long Linger raised her head, her almond eyes sparkling, "Really? Then mother can bring us here to play next time."
She didn't dare come by herself, fearing that the other cubs would dislike her.
As long as her mother is around, she is not afraid.
Long Zhong curled his lips and said, "If you want to come, come by yourself. I won't come."
Long Linger stuck out her tongue at him and exposed him mercilessly, "I don't know who just held the monkey cub and refused to let go, saying that it was furry and nice to touch."
"Who, who said it? Anyway, it wasn't me." Long Zhong's face turned red instantly and he turned his head away awkwardly.
Long Yu and Long Xiu listened and raised the corners of their lips unconsciously.
Before they knew it, the cubs had already regarded Hu Jiaojiao as the backbone of the family.
“Oh…” After hearing their words, Long Yao turned his head to look at his bald body, dejected.
Yaoer has no hair...
Hu Jiaojiao reached out, scooped up Long Yao, put him on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Yao'er is also cute, as cute as the monkey cub."
"Oh?" Really? Yao'er is also a cute kid!
After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, Long Yao immediately changed his previous depressed mood, and excitedly raised his tail, shaking it.
Fox's smile is as beautiful as a flower.
These five kids are more lovable the more you watch them. They are not at all as vicious and violent as they are described in the books.
The man and his five cubs returned home, but Long Mo had not come back yet.
As the sky gradually darkened, Hu Jiaojiao prepared a table of delicious food, but there was still no sign of Long Mo.
The five cubs were a little worried.
Long Linger pouted, "Daddy, what's wrong? Why aren't you home so late?"
Long Yu also frowned, his face serious, "Could it be that Daddy has gone to live in the forest again?"
"I think it's possible. Daddy definitely doesn't want to live here." Long Zhong snorted and said coldly.
Seeing that the cubs were restless, Hu Jiaojiao comforted them softly, "Don't worry, maybe your father is busy with something. If you are hungry, you can eat first."
“Oh~” Yes, first come first served.
Long Yao couldn't wait to sit on the small stool.
He propped up his upper body with his tail, tilted his head back, and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with his big ruby eyes, waiting to be fed.
Long Zhong slapped Long Yao on the head, feeling very disappointed with him. "You only know how to eat. You get excited when you hear about eating. Can't you do anything else besides eating?"
"Ah..."
Long Yao covered his head with his tail in grievance.
If you think about it carefully, besides eating, he can also sleep.
Hu Jiaojiao was also worried. What if Long Mo really left? How could she win over Long Mo when she and he were separated
Isn't that just like the plot in the book? There's no way to change her ending!
At the horizon, the last ray of sunset fell, and a long black shadow suddenly appeared.
"Daddy is back." Long Linger shouted excitedly, pointing at the dark shadow in the sky.
Fox Jiaojiao suddenly raised her drooping head, feeling a surge of joy at having regained what she had lost, and looked at the handsome and tall male in the distance.
It's great that he didn't leave.
Her hope of changing the ending is growing!
A white crescent moon gradually appeared in the sky. Long Mo looked at the sky and thought that Hu Jiaojiao and Zizi had gone to rest.
I wanted to go back quietly, but when I walked into the yard, I saw several pairs of eyes looking at me.
Long Mo was surprised to see a table full of untouched food.
Is she...waiting for him
Seeing Long Mo coming back empty-handed and looking tired, Hu Jiaojiao thought that he went hunting and was disappointed because he was injured and didn't catch any prey, so she hurried forward and pushed him to sit down at the table.
"Come and eat something. The kids are waiting for you. They thought you were not coming back."
As she spoke, Hu Jiaojiao even brought him a pair of chopsticks.
Long Mo's expression, which had been somewhat gentle at first, instantly froze when he saw the chopsticks.
The next morning.
Hu Jiaojiao heard a commotion in the tribe.
Upon learning that the chief had summoned the orcs to announce something important, she and Long Mo also went.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the gathering place, I was stopped by a male.
Hu Jiaojiao looked up and immediately frowned, "Why are you here again?"
