Hu Ling'er squinted at the two brothers while eating.
It was fun to watch them go from not daring to eat at first, to grinning after being burned, to then gobbling up the food.
Long Ao noticed Hu Ling'er's eyes, and he deliberately moved his body to block Hu Ling'er's sight of the two brothers.
Hu Ling'er raised his head and glared at him fiercely.
But Long Ao was obviously unmoved and continued to calmly pick up food in his mouth.
The Que brothers each ate two bowls of dough soup.
They were not actually full, but they were too embarrassed to ask for more.
They were also afraid that if they ate too much, Lady Tiger would be angry and kick them out.
"Why do you eat so little? Are you not used to eating? My sister is so young and she has to eat three bowls at every meal." Hushan had already finished four bowls. He walked into the cave and looked at the two brothers with some concern.
ask.
Hu Linger:???
It's not my business?
Quewu wiped his mouth: "Well, we are full."
Queliu also nodded: "We eat less, but we work more."
"Oh!" Hushan nodded inexplicably.
Mrs. Hu can probably understand what the two brothers are thinking.
But they had been hungry for a long time, so they didn’t need to eat much for the first meal, so Mrs. Hu didn’t dissuade them.
After breakfast, the family went to the mountain to pick yellow fruits. Que Wu refused to listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going with him. Hu Ling'er was embarrassed to stay at home and went up the mountain with him.
When going up the mountain, Long Ao wouldn't let Hu Ling'er go by herself and insisted on carrying her on his back.
Hu Ling'er knew that he was too heavy to be burdened by his own weight, so he asked his brothers to take turns carrying it.
During this period, Hu Jiao came up to ask: "Xiao Ling'er, how about I carry you? They are short and it is uncomfortable to carry them."
Hu Ling'er quickly shook her round little head to express her rejection.
Although Hu Jiao has been acting very well and very capable at home recently, the foundation she laid earlier makes it difficult for her to get close to her, so it is better to keep a distance.
Queliu is indeed as capable as he said.
He works very quickly,
After a while, his own basket was full, and then he helped his brother who had mobility difficulties fill his brother's basket as well.
After that, he looked around and came over to help Hu Ling'er.
Hu Ling'er looked at him loading his basket so high and thought to himself: This kid is too honest. Even if you pack so much, I can't even carry it.
Just when Queliu was about to go to the other brothers of the Hu family, he suddenly found a fat chicken in the bushes in front of him.
The fat chicken seems to be very stupid, and it is not very scared after seeing the beast.
He pounced on it, broke the chicken's neck, and then happily announced to everyone: "Chicken, I caught a chicken!"
None of the Hu family had any special reaction. Hu Fu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Great, we can have roast chicken tonight."
Queliu felt that the Hu family seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
But this did not affect his happiness.
After doing his own work and catching a chicken, he and his brother were no longer freeloaders and could eat more at night.
Aunt Hu gave Hu Ling'er a meaningful look. It seemed that her little granddaughter also wanted to take in the two brothers.
Then stay.
On this day, the tiger family is very happy.
Because they picked a lot of yellow fruits and caught four fat chickens.
One of the fat chickens was caught by Hujiao.
She was simply more excited than Queliu.
It might be okay for others to catch a fat chicken, but she had never had such luck before.
It seems that if you sincerely show your kindness to Xiao Zai Zai, the beast god can see it.
In the evening, four roast chickens were set up on the charcoal fire of Hu's house, and there were earthy fruits buried in the fire.
Sarutai was also very happy to see that Quewu had recovered. As long as he got through this, he would slowly get better.
While eating, Yutai asked the two bird tribesmen about their origins: "As far as I know, there are no adult bird people in our tribe. Are you from outside? Are you separated from the tribe?"
Quewu answered seriously: "Actually, the two of us don't remember much. We must have been separated from our tribe, but before we transformed, we were picked up by the tribe leader Lang Rui."
"Were you picked up by wolves?" Yuutai calmed his expression, "Then why were you abandoned next to the dense forest again?"
Que Wu's expression was a little gloomy and unwilling: "Because we are about to die."
So the two brothers told about everything they had experienced at the patriarch's house.
After hearing this, Hujiazhan and Yuantai couldn't help but open their eyes: Is there such a thing?
"Hmph!" Mrs. Hu snorted coldly: "I know if he is a good person."
Yuutai has always been humble and polite in front of his tribe these years.
Everyone knows that his family has adopted many stray orcs.
But because they have never come into contact with these wandering orcs, no orcs in the clan know that they usually live like this.
"Those adult orcs are better off. They can do a lot of things for the clan leader, but we underage cubs often don't have enough to eat."
Queliu said pitifully.
Sarutai sighed: "They are all wandering orcs, they are homeless to begin with.
If the clan leader is willing to give them food, that is already their blessing. As for anything else, we can't interfere."
Mrs. Hu nodded, and then said to the two sparrow cubs: "You two will live in my house for the time being. If you have a chance to meet your own people in the future, you can go back home if you want."
"Thank you grandma." Que Wu also imitated the cubs of the Hu family and called her grandma.
Queliu also quickly followed suit: "Thank you, grandma."
…
The weather is getting colder and colder, the yellow fruits in the mountains are almost harvested, and the tiger family's food reserves have come to an end. At this time, they are faced with another problem, salt and mud.
They haven't gone to collect salt mud for a long time since Hu Ling'er's accident last time, but in the cold season, the mud pool will be sealed by snow, and then they won't be able to collect it.
For emergencies, you still need to prepare some things before the cold season arrives.
Although there are condiments in the space, the condiments are not unlimited after all, so Hu Ling'er thought it would be better to make more preparations for them.
At the same time, she also has her own little thoughts.
The cave where Long Ao was found last time.
Ever since Long Ao was brought back, Mrs. Hu has forbidden them from going near there, so they have never gone back to that cave.
But today, Hu Ling'er is actually becoming more and more curious: Why is there a dragon egg there?
If someone else put it there on purpose, why was it chosen there?
Taking advantage of this opportunity to collect salt mud, Hu Ling'er planned to go back and have a look.
