"Do you know what it's for? That's right, it's to protect your little feet. From now on, you can run around outside freely without worrying about hurting your feet."

Shen Miao spoke very loudly, and all the cubs heard her.

This is not hard to understand. The cubs had never worn shoes before and did not know the purpose of shoes. They were used to being barefoot and simply felt that having that thing on their feet was ugly and a burden.

They were all somewhat surprised to hear Shen Miao's words.

So shoes are meant to protect your feet.

Can it really protect? Of course it can, because Da Bao and the others have already demonstrated it.

"Do you think Yangzi wouldn't have become a cripple if he had shoes back then?" one of the cubs whispered.

Yangzi was also one of their friends, but one time he stepped on a bone. Because it wasn't treated in time, the place where it was stuck started to bleed and fester, and it got worse and worse, so he became a cripple.

Forget about hunting in the mountains, he even walks with an uneven gait.

The cubs all fell silent.

Shen Miao secretly observed the cubs' conversation and then interjected, "If any of you want shoes, come over here and I'll take your measurements."

The cubs already knew the benefits of shoes, so they naturally no longer resisted them. On the contrary, they really wanted to have a pair of shoes, and they all gathered around when they heard this.

"One at a time, don't push," Shen Miao instructed, using a blade of grass as a ruler to measure the length of each cub's foot.

The cubs were happy to know they would soon have a pair of shoes, but they felt a little ashamed when they saw Da Bao and the others. So the cubs went over to Da Bao, apologized, and asked if they could play together.

Da Bao and the others readily agreed, only Er Bao was a little proud for a while, but in the end he also made peace with the cubs.

A few days later, the whole tribe saw the cubs running around the tribe wearing strange black things on their feet.

Da Bao and the others were overjoyed because these were shoes made by their mother. They were so proud of themselves that they held their heads high wherever they went.

Perhaps being too happy can easily lead to tragedy.

Da Bao suddenly noticed that one of his teeth was loose and almost popped out of his gums. He spat on the ground, and it was bloody.

His smile froze instantly.

With a serious little face, she ran home with a stomping footstep.

Erbao and the others were playing a game of pulling grass with their mouths with the other little ones when they saw Dabao suddenly run away. They were a little surprised, but they quickly got into the intense game and had no time to think about anything else.

Da Bao ran home and couldn't hold back any longer, bursting into tears.

The crying was so loud it shook the earth. Shen Miao was so frightened that she came out of the house and asked in a panic, "What happened? Who's crying? Da Bao, is that you? Why are you crying?"

When Shen Miao saw that it was Da Bao who was wailing, she was genuinely surprised. After all, Da Bao was not like Er Bao and the others, who would cry at the top of their lungs whenever something happened. Da Bao still had some of the burdens of being the eldest brother.

The fact that she's crying so uncontrollably now means something terrible must have happened.

Looking behind him, the other three kids, who were always inseparable, were nowhere to be seen. Shen Miao became a little anxious and hurriedly asked, "Da Bao, where are Er Bao and the others? Haven't they come back or what happened?"

Da Bao sobbed, "Er Bao and the others are playing a weed-pulling game, boohoo."

Oh, so nothing's wrong. Shen Miao just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw Da Bao's tear-streaked face, her heart jumped again: "Then why are you crying? Tell your mother, okay?"

"I...I'm going to die," Da Bao said, feeling heartbroken, and tears streamed down his face even more.

He felt so miserable, like he was about to die, but he didn't want to die yet. He wanted to live a long time with his younger siblings, his parents, and sob sob.

Shen Miao was completely confused and said nervously, "Don't talk nonsense. How could he be dead? Our Da Bao is perfectly fine."

"I...I'm poisoned. I just vomited blood, and my teeth fell out." Da Bao shrugged his little shoulders, feeling so bad he was about to faint.

"Wait, let me see."

Shen Miao suddenly pressed down on Da Bao and looked into his wide-open mouth. She saw that one of his teeth on the right side had come loose, with only a tiny bit still connected to his gums.

She was so tempted by what she saw that she couldn't resist reaching out quickly and pulling out the tooth.

Da Bao didn't have time to react. He stared blankly at Shen Miao. When he saw the tooth in Shen Miao's hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, my teeth, my teeth fell out, I'm going to die, waaaaah."

That's how it is with the orcs in the tribe; when their teeth fall out, they're about to die.

Shen Miao held the tiny rice-sized tooth, both amused and exasperated. "Why do you think that if you lose a tooth, you're going to die? Your tooth is gone, but you're perfectly fine."

Da Bao was stunned. Right, how come he's perfectly fine and nothing's wrong with him?

What happened? Da Bao was so surprised that he forgot to shed tears.

Shen Miao pulled Da Bao to sit under the tree and patiently told him, "This is losing your baby teeth. Losing your baby teeth means you're going to grow up, not die. Do you understand? You're still so young. You have at least seventy years left before you die."

"But why do we have to lose our baby teeth when we grow up?" Da Bao asked, bewildered.

Shen Miao thought for a moment and smiled, "It's probably because you feel that your old, small teeth can't keep up with your eating speed, and you need a stronger set of teeth."

"This is normal, don't worry. In the future, Erbao and the others will also lose their baby teeth."

Da Bao became happy, revealing his cleft lip, and exclaimed joyfully, "I was the first one to lose my baby tooth, I'm the best!"

Shen Miao patted his head: "Yes, Da Bao is very good. Let's throw this tooth onto the roof now."

Why throw it on the roof?

"Because if you throw your lower teeth on the roof and your upper teeth under the bed, throwing your lower teeth up means that the new teeth that grow in will be better and prettier." Shen Miao made up nonsense with her eyes wide open.

This rule doesn't exist in the orc world, but since she comes from the modern world, she naturally has the final say.

Da Bao felt he had learned a lot today and was in a great mood.

"Mother, Mother, something terrible has happened! Da Bao is missing!"

Erbao burst in from outside, howling loudly.

Then he looked at Da Bao, who was sitting obediently next to Shen Miao, with a blank stare.

Sanbao and Sibao lagged behind and ran back. When they saw Dabao, they were also surprised: "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Da Bao's mouth is leaky, so he refuses to open it.

Shen Miao answered for him, "Da Bao is tired from playing, so he came back to rest for a while."

"Oh, I see. You scared us to death."

"No, that's not right." Erbao leaned closer, staring intently at Dabao's face, and exclaimed as if he'd discovered something amazing, "Dabao, you're crying!"
