"Huh? The name is so random?"
The three little ones had red faces, and it was the eldest one who spoke up to explain.
"My parents thought it was easier to remember this way."
Jiang Li nodded in understanding. Just then a grilled fish was cooked. Seeing that they had finished the one in their hands, Jiang Li gave them the cooked one.
"Sister..." The three little ones were stunned and looked at Jiang Li blankly.
"Sister, we have already eaten, you should eat this one." Hu Laoer said.
Jiang Li stuffed the fish into her hands and said, "You guys eat first, I'm not that hungry."
She turned the sticks over the fire and continued to roast the fish.
"Thank you, sister."
After thanking him, the three little ones lowered their heads and started eating again.
Looking at their puffy little faces, they were surprisingly similar to Jiang Nian's fair and tender round face.
Her child was killed by Leila and her mother when she was only a few days old and had only been fed a few times.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li's heart ached, and a thin layer of sadness appeared in his eyes.
The alert Hu Lao Er was the first to notice Jiang Li's abnormality. She blinked twice and asked in confusion, "Sister, why do I look so sad at you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two little ones who were eating fish looked up.
Jiang Li quickly came back to his senses and forced a smile from the corners of his lips.
"No."
She was distracted and the fish was a little burnt.
She quickly took it down, put it in her mouth and started eating.
"I haven't asked you yet, how come you can't even catch a fish when you've transformed into a human form at such a young age?"
Hearing this, the three little ones looked at each other and then smiled awkwardly.
"In fact, the reason why we transformed into human form so early is because our parents passed on spiritual power to us." said Boss Hu.
"Um?"
After Boss Hu explained it to him, Jiang Li finally understood.
The snake tribe has been fighting with the black bear tribe and the leopard tribe all year round. In order to give their children a chance to escape, children born to the snake tribe are given spiritual power by their parents so that they can escape and save their lives in the future.
But their parents' spiritual power was not very high, and after dividing the water among the three of them, they could only allow them to barely transform into human form, so they were clumsy at trivial tasks such as catching fish.
"In fact, our snake tribe is still very safe. Every time people from the black bear tribe and the leopard tribe enter our misty forest, they will die because there is a giant python guarding it. But before I came here, I heard that an orc who didn't know how to live or die broke into the misty forest and killed the giant python. Everyone shouted to catch the orc and divide his blood and flesh to vent their resentment."
When Boss Hu said this, his eyes were still blazing with fire, and then he lowered his head and took a fierce bite of the fish, which was enough to show his anger.
Jiang Li on the side swallowed and smiled awkwardly.
If they knew that she was the one who killed the giant python, would these three little guys jump up and fight her to the death?
"elder sister."
"Um?"
Hu Laoer called out, causing Jiang Li to turn her head to look at her.
"Sister is Prince Yeyao's servant, so sister should have heard who killed the giant python, right?"
Hearing what Hu Lao Er said, Hu Lao Da immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at her with shining eyes.
"Yes, sister, tell us."
"Big brother, let's stop asking..." Hu Laosan, who had been silent, timidly pulled them.
But Boss Hu wouldn't listen to that.
"You killed my giant python, which means you are sworn enemies with my clan. How can we let this go? Third brother, if you are afraid, you can go with us!"
Hu Laosan was so frightened by his shout that he shrank his neck, pursed his lips and dared not say a word.
"Sister, did you hear Prince Ye Yao say who killed the giant python?" Boss Hu asked again.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly answered.
"I am not his servant, and I don't know who killed the python."
Jiang Li looked flustered, but he lowered his head and continued to eat the fish without blushing or beating his heart.
Fortunately, these three were children and easy to fool, otherwise her clumsy lie would have been seen through long ago.
After finishing eating, Jiang Li felt sleepy.
It put out the fire with water and gave the remaining two fish to the three little ones.
The three little ones looked at the two fat fish, their eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky.
"You can take it away and eat it slowly."
"Thank you, sister!" Boss Hu bowed and thanked her, then took the fish from her hand.
Jiang Li smiled, turned around and walked towards the cave.
Before he had taken two steps, Hu Laoer called Jiang Li to stop him.
"Sister, how can we find you in the future?"
Jiang Li paused and pointed to a cave not far away.
"I'm staying there temporarily. You can go find me there."
The three little ones looked in the direction Jiang Li pointed and found that the cave she lived in was Ye Yao's. They were so scared that their rosy little faces turned pale in an instant.
"This... This is Prince Yeyao's place..."
Hu Lao Er and Hu Lao San stepped back in fear.
Even though Hu Lao Da, the elder brother, was afraid, he still stood up straight and stopped them behind him.
"Sister, it would be considered disrespectful for us to go to Prince Yeyao's residence."
"Don't worry, I'm the only one living here these two days." Jiang Li yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep, be careful on your way home."
Jiang Li ignored the three little ones staring blankly, walked straight back to the cave, lay on the cold stone bed, and slowly fell asleep.
Wait until the next morning.
While Jiang Li was still dreaming, he suddenly heard a series of familiar voices in his ears.
"Sister, sister."
Jiang Li woke up in a daze, and when she heard the voices of the three little ones, she opened her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Her voice was still nasal from sleep.
"Sister, there are so many people performing a fight!"
Hu Laoer's words immediately made Jiang Li, who wanted to continue sleeping with his eyes closed, become energetic.
"who?"
Jiang Li sat up with a jerk.
"Why did the fight start? Where?"
As he spoke, Jiang Li's face showed excitement.
"In the Snake Square, a group of males started fighting. I thought my sister would also like to watch such a scene." Boss Hu said very honestly.
Jiang Li happily raised his hand and gently patted Boss Hu's little head.
"Of course I love to watch it!"
She loves to join in the fun!
"Come on, take me there!"
Jiang Li immediately stood up, patted his clothes a little, and followed the three little ones out.
In the Snake Square.
A middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face sat on a high platform, carefully observing the duel in the arena.
Ye Yao and a man who looked similar to him sat on both sides.
He held a wine glass in his hand and didn't pay much attention to the audience.
I saw a group of snakes in the center of the square biting and entangled with each other.
The males behind the group of snakes were also waving their weapons and hitting each other, leaving them with bruises and swollen faces.
The young females stood on the sidelines and watched.
They all opened their eyes wide and whispered to each other, talking about which male was more powerful and majestic.
