After dinner, it was Hu Jiao who cleared away the tableware.
It was originally arranged that she and Hu Qing sleep in a cave at night, but after Hu Gu came back, she was temporarily invited out.
Hu Qing and Hu Gu discussed it in the cave for a long time, and finally after some arguments, they seemed to have reached an agreement.
Fox Jiao was very curious but did not dare to go in, so she put her ear to the entrance of the hole to listen to what was going on inside.
The voices of Hu Qing and Hu Qing were too low. Hu Jiao pricked up her ears and barely heard the words "collude", "drive out" and "beat to death".
As she was listening intently, there was suddenly no movement inside. Hu Jiao looked up and saw Hu Gu walking out.
She immediately stood up straight and let out a somewhat embarrassed hey.
"Sister, what are you doing standing at the entrance of the cave? Did you hear what my mother and I just said?" Hu Gu asked.
"No, no, no," Hu Jiao waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't hear anything. I just came here just now and wanted to see if you guys have finished discussing it."
"Well, the discussion is over. Sister, come with me." Hu Gu stretched out his hand towards Hu Jiao, pulled her outside, and then asked: "Sister, they really don't care about the fine salt you took from the Hu family.
do you know?"
"I don't know, I took it secretly. Every time when they weren't paying attention..."
"Then if you return to Hu's house, can you immediately find out where the fine salt is hidden?" Hu Gu asked again.
"Of course, it's hidden in the place where food is stored..." At this point, Hu Jiao seemed to have noticed something was wrong. She asked Hu Gu: "What do you want to do? Do you want to steal fine salt from Hu's house? I can tell you
, you can’t defeat those orcs from the Hu family, Hu Lao Er alone is enough for you. You don’t know how strong he is..."
Hu Gu waved his hand, he felt that according to Hu Jiao's idea, he would start bragging about her maleness next.
"I'm not going to steal, I have other plans." Hu Gu's eyes were shining, and he looked confident.
"Sister, do you want to go see the great witch? I remember what you told me before. You want to pray to the great witch, but you can't get away at Hu's house. I'll take you there later."
"In a moment..." Hu Jiao hesitated: "It's already dark today, is it too late? How about we go there tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is not good. More tribesmen will see you after dawn. It is more convenient to go at night."
"What will happen if other clan members see it?" Hu Jiao didn't understand.
"Sister, just listen to my arrangements." Hu Gu didn't want to explain too much.
He took the fine salt that Hu Qing gave him, grabbed Hu Jiao and rushed to the patriarch's house.
In fact, the real purpose of Hu Gu taking Hu Jiao was not to make her pray, but to take her to reply to the clan leader.
After a while, Lang Lu found out about Hu's secret possession of fine salt and would definitely get to the bottom of it. He didn't know anything, so he could only take Hu Jiao with him.
"We will go to the clan leader later. After the clan leader has finished asking questions, we will then go to see the great witch." Hu Gu said to his sister on the way.
"What will the patriarch ask me?" Hu Jiao was a little nervous.
"I ask you some questions about fine salt. Just answer what you know. No need to hide or lie. Just tell the truth."
"Wait!" Hujiao stopped, "Didn't I bring fine salt for you to eat? Why did you tell the clan leader?"
"If you don't understand what's going on here, don't worry about it. Anyway, whatever the clan leader asks you, just answer it truthfully."
This is what Hu Gu and Hu Qing were arguing about just now, whether they should tell Hu Jiao their thoughts.
From Hu Qing's point of view, Hu Jiao hated Mrs. Hu so much that she would definitely be willing to cooperate. However, Hu Gu had more things on her mind. She was afraid that her sister would still be thinking about Mr. Hu and the two cubs, and if she knew too much
, I’m afraid I will be discouraged.
So I just showed half of it and hid half of it. Anyway, she would say anything in front of the clan leader.
When Hu Gu went in to report, Lang Lu was about to fall asleep.
But when he saw the fine salt in Hu Gu's hand and heard his description of the Hu family's situation, he immediately became energetic and didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Where did the Hu family get the fine salt? Where do they usually go? Have they ever had any private contact with orcs outside the tribe?"
Hu Gu knew that Lang Lu would have many problems, and he immediately replied: "Hui Clan Chief, I don't know any of these things. This fine salt was just stolen from Hu's house by my sister Hu Jiao. She is also outside now, so why not
Ask her and see how much she can tell."
"Is your sister here? Why don't you let her in quickly?" Lang Lu was a little anxious.
At first, he placed his hope on the daughter of the Hu family, but he did not expect that the results would come out so soon. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
"Clan leader!" This was the first time Hu Jiao saw Lang Rui face to face, and she was a little scared and cautious. After all, this was the clan leader of the tribe.
"It's okay, it's okay. I asked you to come in. I just want to ask you a little something." Langlu said in a gentle tone with a smile on his face.
"I heard from your brother that the Hu family has a lot of fine salt. Do you know where they got this fine salt?"
"No... I don't know." Hu Jiao looked up at Lang Rui after saying that, and quickly added: "I really don't know. Hu Lao Er told me that his father Hu Xiao left him behind. I also thought at that time
I asked why the food left by Hu Xiao was only being eaten now, and then he said that it was all arranged by his mother..."
Hu Jiao tried her best to recall the conversation between the two that day, for fear that she might have said something wrong.
"Well, that's going to be a bit troublesome." Langlu deliberately looked embarrassed.
"In recent years, people in our tribe have been eating salt mud all year round, and it is rare to see such fine salt.
If I can know the source, I can take my tribe to exchange for prey. At that time, wouldn't the entire tribe be grateful to the tribe who discovered the source of the fine salt, don't you think?"
Hu Jiao thought for a while, thinking of the scene where some tribesmen bent down to salute, nod and smile when they saw him, and she immediately became excited: "It turns out that our tribe needs fine salt so much!"
"Yes, the Hu family has such good things but is unwilling to share them. This is very inappropriate.
But we can’t blame them for this, the Hu family has been having a hard time in recent years, but the Hu family has to integrate into our tribe, so the matchmaker in the middle is very important!"
Hu Gu said meaningfully. This chapter has been completed!
