Seeing Snake Three being dragged into the house by Cat Duoduo, Snake One flicked its tongue, its eyes cold, and followed him in, with Snake Two close behind.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Maoduo put the trembling Snake Three in his arms on the bed.
As soon as she let go, Snake Three darted into the blankets, only its fluorescent snake eyes peeking at her.
Snake One and Snake Two stood by the bed, in a protective stance, though they couldn't help trembling despite their tough posture.
The house cast a long shadow over them; the cat had locked them inside several times and beaten them half to death. Who knows how it will torture them this time?
"Cat Duoduo, if you want to fight, fight the two of us, don't touch the underlings!"
Snake One shielded her two younger brothers behind her. Her small body was only slightly taller than the bed, yet she would rather get hurt herself than let her two younger brothers suffer.
I really don't know what the original owner was thinking. What a good child she was, how could she do that?
"I'll let you off the hook, but you have to listen to me."
She knew that no matter how kindly she tried to persuade them, the three children wouldn't believe her. So she decided to be stricter and order them to stay inside, just like the original owner of this body. It was better than letting them sleep outside and catch a cold.
Once the children gradually lower their guard, she can treat them well. This transition will make it less likely for her to notice anything amiss.
"Since you're all lying in bed, I won't hit you."
Snake One and Snake Two looked at her suspiciously, remaining motionless for a long time, unable to understand what new tricks their wicked mother had up her sleeve.
She just lost face at Bao Lie's place, so she's definitely going to take it out on them.
Seeing the kittens' reaction, Maoduoduo had no choice but to pick up the wooden stick from the bedside and threaten them.
"Hurry up and move! Do you want to get beaten up?!"
Snake One and Snake Two knew they couldn't escape, so they climbed onto the bed and piled on top of Snake Three like a human pyramid.
The cat reached out its paw, and the three kittens cowered, closing their eyes in fear. The expected pain did not come; instead, a soft and warm blanket was placed over them.
Cat Duoduo added more firewood to the fire, then lay down on the straw bed beside her and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, her three cubs were long gone.
Snake One and Snake Two carried buckets and filled the large vat with water. They worked all morning and had just filled the bottom of one vat.
Since Snake Three couldn't do heavy work, he went to the small river near the door to catch fish for Cat Duo Duo.
Seeing the two little ones covered in sweat from exhaustion, Mao Duoduo pushed open the door and went out to wipe their sweat. Unexpectedly, Snake Two was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Snake One stood in front of him.
"Don't hit him! Give us a little more time, and we'll definitely be able to fill the water tank in no time!"
CatDodo was speechless, recalling how the original owner had almost pervertedly enslaved the three cubs.
Before dawn, the large water vat by the door must be filled, and fifty fish must be caught and prepared for her to eat.
Normally, the original owner of this body would sleep until late morning, but today Cat Duoduo got up early. The kittens were afraid of getting another beating if they didn't finish the tasks she assigned them.
Cat Duoduo sighed and took the bucket of water from Snake Yi's hand.
"Mother said that you don't need to do these chores anymore."
Snake One and Snake Two stood there, staring blankly at Cat Duoduo's retreating figure as she walked towards the river. What was wrong with this vicious woman?
I cooked for them yesterday and let them sleep in the house, but I didn't hit them.
I wasn't angry that I didn't get to eat freshly cooked fish today; instead, I went out to work.
Is the sun rising in the west?
Cat Duoduo ignored the whispers behind her, cursing the original owner of the body for the ten thousandth time in her heart. Why did she have to cause trouble instead of living a good life, leaving her with a mess to clean up?
The original owner was so vicious it was outrageous. When will the children be able to let go of their resentment and accept her?
Running to the riverbank, filling the bucket, and squatting on the bank, Maoduo felt instantly happy looking at the clear river.
She was born in a heavily polluted industrialized era, surrounded by reinforced concrete, and rarely saw such pure, natural scenery.
After admiring it for a while, she looked around for Snake Three's shadow, but couldn't find that little figure anywhere.
"Maybe they went somewhere to have fun."
Cat Duoduo carried the bucket of water back, only realizing something was wrong when she entered the door.
The three little ones are terrified of her. Just now, Snake One and Snake Two were worried that she would hit them because the water tank wasn't full. Snake Three is the most timid and the weakest.
It's absolutely impossible for them to run off to play or act alone!
It's important to know that the orc world is not peaceful, and a lone cub could easily become food for a wandering orc.
If Snake Three gets into trouble, Snake One, Snake Two, and their father will inevitably turn to the dark side!
Then she will have no chance to escape the tragic end that happens in the book!
Recalling the bloody scene, Cat Duoduo broke out in a cold sweat, but forced himself to remain calm and asked Snake One and Snake Two.
Where does the third child usually like to go for fun?
"He never goes too far from home."
Snake frowned. Snake Three was thin and had not yet fully transformed. Due to years of abuse by Cat Duoduo, he dared not go out alone except to catch fish.
Play? They're barely surviving, how could they have the mind to play!
What tricks is this wicked female up to now!
CatDodo's heart sank. Just as she had thought, SnakeThree had gotten into trouble!
"I couldn't find Snake Three by the river. Do you know who he's offended recently, or who might arrest him?"
Snake clenched its fist, its deep, dark eyes glaring coldly at Cat Duoduo.
Aside from his family, Snake Three didn't know anyone. He was timid and unlikely to offend anyone.
The only possibility is that this woman removed Snake Three's gallbladder to curry favor with Leopard Fierce.
They would then turn around and pretend to be kind to them, taking the opportunity to trick them out of their snake gallbladders.
She was afraid her father would come back and hold her accountable, so her attitude changed drastically, and she pretended to be nice to them.
If you tell your father that it was all an accident, he won't even know how they died!
She can forget about it!
Snake One pretended to think for a moment, then pointed to the Great Swamp.
“The fish by the river are hard to catch, and he’s afraid you’ll punish him. I heard that there are blackfish that Leopard Fierce likes most over in the Great Swamp, so maybe he went there.”
Cat Duoduo dropped the bucket and hurriedly ran towards the swamp. God help us, please don't let Snake Three get hurt!
As soon as Cat Duoduo left, Snake One grabbed Snake Two and dragged them towards the back mountain.
"Brother, Snake Three doesn't dare to go out by himself, how could he have gone to the Great Swamp!"
Snake Two followed Snake One, completely bewildered.
The Great Swamp was dark and gloomy, and giant crocodiles often appeared there. Not to mention the timid Snake Three, even male beastmen dared not go there alone.
On the way, Snake One explained the situation to Snake Two, who flicked his tongue, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
"She better pray that Snake Three is alright, or I'll make her pay with her life!"
Snake nodded and said slowly, "After we rescue Snake Three, we'll take him to Father. Father will definitely save us!"
Snake Two nodded, and the two quickened their pace and ran towards the back mountain.
The three brothers have a strong telepathic connection; Snake One can sense that Snake Three is on the mountain.
As for that vicious woman who wanted them dead, let her keep the giant crocodile company!
