"It can be used, it can be used after washing." Hu Ling'er still had to coax him.
However, Hu Shan didn’t eat after all that night, and went to bed directly when he was tired from crying.
With the example of Hushan in the front, none of the following brothers dared to touch the pile of chili peppers. Seeing the chili peppers was like seeing something scary, and they stayed far away.
Hu Ling'er had no choice but to spread the chili peppers outside and prepare them to be dried in the sun for later use.
Mrs. Hu saw that Hu Ling'er regarded this pile of red and green things as treasures, and asked puzzledly: "Ling'er, is this really edible? I think Xiao Shan is crying quite sadly. This should not be good.
Eat."
"It's delicious." Hu Ling'er didn't know how to explain it to her grandma. The chili peppers are indeed delicious, but they are not eaten like Hushan.
For people who are not used to eating, it is indeed a kind of torture.
However, through what happened in Hushan, Hu Ling'er had a new idea.
Hushan said that pepper is a weapon, and it seems that it is indeed quite harmful.
So in this era when there are no weapons of destruction, is it really possible to make peppers into weapons and use them in war?
So she found her second brother Hu Dong, and the two of them chatted and studied for a long time.
After Hu Dong heard Hu Ling'er share his thoughts, he went to study it by himself.
…
Recently, Long Ao has always been in a daze. Except for being happy when he is with Hu Ling'er, he is usually absent-minded when working.
On this day, he was carrying two big stones and walking towards the city wall. He didn't know what he was thinking, but Hu Lao San watched him pass by and kept walking forward unconsciously.
"Long Ao, you've gone too far." Tiger Laosan called to him.
Long Ao seemed to wake up suddenly, turned around and put the stone down.
In the evening, the third child told Mrs. Hu about this matter.
"Mom, I feel like Long Ao is not quite right lately. He always looks preoccupied and I don't know what he is thinking about."
Mrs. Hu said: "I also discovered that he has been a little absent-minded even when eating recently. Only when Ling'er talks to him, I can see him cheering up."
"I asked him today, but he didn't say anything." Hu Laosan said with some worry, "Is it because what Mr. Yuan Bei said last time made him worry too much."
"I have watched Long Ao grow up. This child values love and justice. He is also smarter than the cubs of our Hu family. It is inevitable that he is thoughtful." Mrs. Hu sighed and continued.
Said: "I'll ask Ling'er to ask him tonight. I think what Ling'er said will work."
In the evening, Hu Ling'er took Long Ao to have a heart-to-heart talk under the moon with the task given by Mrs. Hu.
The gentle breeze blows away the heat of the day and makes people feel refreshed.
Long Ao's hair was cut by Lu Yunxia recently.
He has short sideburns but long tail at the back, which looks very suitable for him.
Hu Ling'er sometimes felt that Lu Yunxia could support herself with this craft in modern times.
"Long Ao," Hu Ling'er's voice was clear, "Grandma said you are unhappy."
Sometimes Long Ao would feel dazed. The little tiger cub that used to always lie on his shoulder has now grown so big, and now he can even speak so fluently.
But he always felt that it was not long ago that he met Hu Ling'er.
"Ling'er, I don't know why, but I always feel that I am leaving here and I will never see you again."
Hu Ling'er thought that he was still worried about what Yuan Bei said before, so he comforted him: "No, what Mr. Yuan said may not be true."
After thinking for a while, Hu Ling'er added: "Look at Que Wu and Que Liu, their fathers are here, but they still won't leave."
Long Ao smiled bitterly: "I hope so too. But recently I always have a dream, dreaming that many orcs come to our tribe. They kill people and set fire to them. They also say they must find me. I am very worried."
Hu Ling'er felt that Long Ao's worries were unnecessary. He must have thought too much.
She didn't know how to comfort Long Ao, so she had to stand up, imitate the behavior of an adult orc, touched his head, and said, "If a bad guy comes, I will protect you."
Because he transformed early, Hu Ling'er's stature has always been shorter than other cubs. Now when he stands, he is only about the same height as Long Ao is sitting.
When Long Ao looked at this little girl who had grown up in the hands of her family and vowed to protect you, he suddenly felt that nothing was scary. Hu Ling'er was not afraid, so what was he afraid of?
He doesn't need Hu Ling'er to protect him, he wants to protect her as she grows up like her brothers.
"By the way," Long Ao changed the subject after he felt better. "When the wall is repaired, what else does the clan leader plan to do? This alone won't stop the bad guys."
Boss Tiger has long said that he wants to form a fighting team, but how to form this team? How to improve the combat effectiveness of weak beasts? These are all questions.
"Look at this!" Hu Ling'er took out the slingshot he carried and showed it to Long Ao.
"Isn't this your treasure? Last time I wanted it, you didn't even give it to me."
The slingshot was given to Lu Ling'er by her father when she was young. Later, her parents passed away suddenly, and Lu Ling'er kept the slingshot with her as a souvenir. Of course, such an important thing cannot be given away casually.
"This is for you. My brother made it. It's the same as mine."
Long Ao looked happy and took the slingshot. It was indeed different from Hu Ling'er's before.
The part that is pulled apart seems to be made of the tendons of some animal, and the hand-held part is made of wood, unlike the one in Hu Ling'er, which has an icy and cool touch.
"Am I the only one who has this, or does everyone have this?" Long Ao, who lowered his head to study the slingshot, suddenly asked.
Hu Ling'er: "..."?
Long Ao thought Hu Ling'er didn't understand, so he asked again: "Did you ask Hu Dong to make this specially for me, or do all your brothers have it?"
Hu Ling'er curled his lips: "Everyone in the combat team has one. Didn't you just ask me what uncle had planned? Uncle said that we can use this to fight bad guys in the distance in the future."
"Oh!" After hearing this, the excitement on Long Ao's face disappeared.
Hu Ling'er took a look and understood a little bit, and quickly added: "But this one of yours is the prettiest."
With that said, Hu Ling'er casually took out a pink hairband from the space.
She wrapped the handle of Long Ao's slingshot with a hair tie, wrapped it around and around, and finally tied a small bow on it: "How do you like it? It looks good!" She asked proudly.
