Chapter 7: The red and big fruit

There were deafening shouts all around.

"Great witch!"

"Great witch!"

Hu Ling'er tilted her head and looked at the expressions of the orcs. They were all excited, and their faces were filled with yearning for a better life.

Look again at the little female beast being held up by Lang Rui's hands. The little creature's eyes have not yet opened, its fur is still wet, and it is lying in Lang Rui's hands shivering.

Hu Ling'er couldn't help but sigh: "I am cold and hungry, and I have to protect other animals. This great witch is really miserable."

While thinking about it, she crawled into Lu Caixia's arms. Lu Caixia quickly helped her cover her ears, fearing that she would be frightened by the noise around her.

After the meeting, the Hu family went to the mountains to look for food as usual, but Hu Jiao suddenly had a stomachache and couldn't stand up.

"I don't know if I ate poisonous fruit yesterday. My stomach hurts so much that I can't stand it. It's hard on everyone today. I really can't walk." Hu Jiao said with a painful expression.

"Okay, then you can rest at home."

Although Lady Tiger looks down on Fox Lady, she will not treat her harshly.

Lu Yunxia rested for three days and her body had fully recovered. She put a layer of hay under the backpack, then put the little Zaizai in the backpack and took her up the mountain with her.

This is Hu Ling'er's first time going up the mountain.

She looked out through the gap in her backpack and found that the big trees on the mountain were so thick that it took two or three people to hug the smaller ones, while the thicker ones required more than a dozen people holding hands to hug them.

But even in such a forest, there is almost no trace of life.

Hu Ling'er finally understood what they meant when they said the mountains had been hollowed out.

After arriving at the mountain, the Hu family and his party began to separate.

Because the tree is relatively tall and the fruits grow relatively high, the eldest, second and third sons of the Hu family climb up the tree and shake the branches vigorously to make the fruits fall off, or they break the branches and throw them under the tree.

The females and their cubs under the tree are responsible for picking the fruits and putting them in the baskets.

Everyone started working, and no one paid special attention to Zaizai.

Hu Linger plays with leaves and catches butterflies by herself.

A piece of fruit rolled in front of her. She secretly stuck out her tongue and licked it. It was sour and astringent!

"ha!"

She couldn't help but let out a breath, and at the same time stuck out her pink little tongue, trying to make the sore and numb feeling on the tip of her tongue dissipate as soon as possible.

Mrs. Hu saw the distorted expression on her little granddaughter's face, feeling distressed and amused at the same time.

She picked up Xiao Ling'er, pulled out the leaf heart from a tall plant, and brought it to Hu Ling'er's mouth, "Lick this, this is sweet, lick it twice and it won't be so astringent."

Hu Ling'er licked it as instructed and tasted a sweet taste.

She wanted to lick it again, but found that the sweet taste was gone.

Seeing her somewhat disappointed look, Mrs. Hu took out another leaf heart and handed it to her granddaughter.

"Only a drop of water in this leaf is sweet, but there is not much in the whole mountain. Don't be naughty and don't eat those fruits."

Hu Ling'er finally knew that the Hu family's life was really not that good.

They knew clearly that the fruit was unpalatable, but there was no other food. I really don’t know how they could swallow such an unpalatable fruit.

Thinking of this, Hu Ling'er suddenly remembered the fruit trees on his farm.

The apples are crisp and red, the Qiuyue pears are tender and juicy, and there are grapes and strawberries...

She felt like her saliva was going to flow out.

But she is just a little cub now and can't eat fruit yet.

Then just move an apple tree over.

Hu Ling'er thought while looking for a suitable location.

Too close won't work. Too close will arouse suspicion.

It can't be too far away. Not to mention it won't be easily discovered. If another orc discovers it first, then her work will be in vain.

After choosing and choosing, she chose behind a big tree ten meters away.

After moving an apple tree over, she jumped out of Mrs. Hu's arms and went to find Hu Fu.

After running away with his sister last time, Hufu felt that his sister had become much closer to him.

Now that Hu Ling'er came to see him again, he unconsciously thought that his sister must want to run again.

"Be good, brother, you have to work now, otherwise you will be spanked when you go home at night." Hu Fu coaxed Hu Ling'er.

Hu Ling'er didn't listen. She rubbed her head on Hu Fu's arm and purred.

Hu Dong looked on with great envy. He dropped the wild fruit in his hand and walked over, saying, "Sister, I will carry you on my back. My skin is tight and I am not afraid of getting beaten."

When Hu Fu heard that someone wanted to take his place, he picked up his sister and said, "Go away, there's nothing wrong with you."

Hu Fu shook off the dirt on his body, stood on tiptoes and prepared to run. Hu Ling'er also grabbed the animal skin on his body and made a ready posture. Xiao Liu saw it from the side and immediately ran to Hu Fu's feet.

He grabbed the position on the right and prepared to run with him.

The tiger boss saw the movement of a few cubs in the tree and shouted to them: "Xiao Fuzi, if you don't work, what are you doing?"

As soon as Hufu heard his father's words, he almost lost his balance and rushed out in one stride.

The tiger boss looked at it from the tree and was frightened.

If the little Zai Zai is thrown away, Mrs. Hu will definitely not let Hu Fu go, and even herself will be implicated.

"Look how I'll deal with you tonight!" Tiger Boss shouted at the backs of the cubs.

Hu Ling'er's heart is so tired!

This kid ran in the wrong direction, running further and further away from the fruit tree.

Fortunately, Hufu didn't run into the dark this time. He ran around the woods several times, and finally found the fruit tree when his strength was about to run out.

He rushed back to Mrs. Tiger: "Grandma, grandma, fruit, fruit, red and big!"

Mrs. Hu wondered if the child was frightened by his father.

They have been picking fruits for so long, but they have never seen any red and big ones.

Seeing that several elders were not moving, Hu Fu ran back, picked an apple from the tree, and carefully held it in front of Mrs. Hu: "Milk, look!"

Mrs. Tiger also opened her eyes wide.

"It's really red and big!"

The eldest, second, and third sons of the Hu family all jumped down from the tree. They gathered under the apple tree to watch the fruit of the tree.

This tree is short and slender, but the fruits on it are red and large.

Huyue couldn't help but go up and pick one. Looking at the red peel, she wanted to take a bite.

Mrs. Hu quickly stopped her: "Wait a minute, we have never eaten such beautiful fruit. We can't eat it casually. What if it is poisonous?"

Once Hu Yue was reminded, he quickly put down the fruit.

"But this fruit smells so good." The little ones couldn't help but drool.

"In the past, when we encountered new fruits, we could test the poison on prey. Now there aren't even rabbits on the mountain. How can we try it?"

Lu Caixia said.

Everyone was in a bit of trouble for a while.

You can't test the poison, and you can only look at such a beautiful fruit.

Just as Hu Laosan was about to stand up and say that he would try, he heard Hu Ling'er, who was standing on Hu Fu's shoulder, make a whining sound.

Everyone looked towards her and saw that she stretched out her little paws and pointed in one direction.
