While Dongfang Long was away working, Xiao Lu was at home. She stared blankly at Dongfang Long as he left, not coming to her senses for a long time.
When Xingxing looked at the little deer, she said, "Little deer brother, what's wrong? We're going to cut grass to feed the pigs." Hearing this, the little deer came to his senses and was a little scared.
Xingxing looked at the little deer, a little confused. She felt that the little deer was too scared. The problem was that she hadn't done anything, and she hadn't intended to hurt the little deer. Why was the little deer looking at her with such fear?
Although Xingxing found it strange, she didn't ask and went to cut grass. Xiaolu also worked. In the middle of the work, Xingxing took a piece of cake to eat, while Xiaolu kept his head down and worked. Xingxing ran over and gave it to Xiaolu, saying, "Brother Xiaolu, have something to eat before you work."
Hearing this, Little Deer nodded and sat down to eat. He finished eating quickly and went to work. Star blinked, feeling that Little Deer was acting a little strange, but didn't ask. He cut grass and quickly went back. Then Star started to prepare food to cook, while Little Deer started cleaning the pigpen.
After cleaning up, Haitang and Yueyue returned. They had a good harvest today, getting some mushrooms and some wood ear fungus, which Haitang really liked.
Haitang laid the things on a straw mat not far from the house and started drying them. Xingxing immediately ran over, and Haitang gave Xingxing a fruit before washing her hands and starting to cook.
"What do you want to eat today?" Haitang asked, looking at Xingxing. Xingxing hesitated upon hearing this.
"I want to eat beef tendon." Hearing this, Haitang nodded and asked someone to go to the cellar to get it. She made beef tendon stew with white radish, and also prepared some noodles. Dongfang Long and Shi Hu watched as the wild boar returned.
The two of them ate roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwiches) in the kitchen, and then carried the pig to the riverbank. Xingxing and Yueyue followed them. Xiaohe helped out at home, while Xiaolu was a little reserved and didn't know what she should do.
Haitang didn't ask the other person to do anything else. Instead, after the food was ready, she had Xiaolu take it to the riverbank. The wild boar was a bit big today, and it wouldn't be easy to clean it up in a short time, so she could only take the food there.
After Dongfang Long and the others washed their hands and started eating not far away, Xiao Lu went back home while Haitang was at home and let Xiao Lu eat.
Xiaohe and Xiaolu were eating at home. Looking at Xiaolu, Xiaohe felt sorry for her and picked up the noodles, saying, "Eat more..." Xiaolu nodded.
Xiao Lu rarely spoke, and was very quiet, unlike when Dongfang Long first came. When Dongfang Long first came, he was like a wild monkey, daring to say and do anything.
Xiaohe remembers this clearly. In Xiaohe's eyes, Xiaolu's condition was abnormal, but she didn't know how to talk to the older brother.
Xiaohe is now a girl of about nine years old. At this age, she understands some things but not others.
While Xiaolu was eating, she saw Dongfang Long and the others return and start stuffing meat into their mouths. Under these circumstances, Xiaolu quickly finished her food.
Xiao Lu found it a bit strange about Haitang and the others. She would be beaten and scolded in other places, but she had never been beaten or scolded since coming to the Tiger Tribe.
This was especially true at Haitang's house. Haitang's family fed her very well, and she could eat whatever everyone in the family ate, whether it was expensive or not.
Under these circumstances, Xiao Lu was grateful, but also felt strange. Of course, what puzzled her the most was Dongfang Long. This man gave her a very strange feeling.
While stuffing meat, Dongfang Long looked at Haitang and said, "Tangtang... I'll bring you some fruit tomorrow, it'll be sweet..." Hearing this, Haitang nodded, "It's something I saw other females eating when I was with the Leopard Clan."
"Okay." Haitang nodded, and Dongfang Long immediately became happy and started working. Xiaolu also wanted to work, but she didn't know how to start.
All they could do was stand aside and do nothing. Dongfang Long ignored them. After Haitang and the others finished stuffing the meat, they hung the sausages not far away and then went to take a bath.
At night, Little Deer lay alone in the thatched hut. Dongfang Long got up to go out and find food. When Little Deer saw him, she opened her eyes wide but said nothing.
When Dongfang Long looked at Xiaolu, he handed her a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). "Don't act like a real deer all the time. You're such a coward. Tangtang didn't bully you. It's not like Tangtang bullied you." Dongfang Long frowned as he looked at Xiaolu.
He was always on edge, which made his family afraid to let him do too much work. Sometimes they even told him to watch his words. Dongfang Long became unhappy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu remained silent while eating. Looking at Xiao Lu's expression, Dongfang Long frowned but said nothing and simply sat down beside her.
“You should know that I am a slave just like you.” Little Deer’s eyes widened when she heard this. “But you are different from me. I don’t consider myself a slave, but you do. Of course… it’s good that you consider yourself a slave, so there won’t be any trouble.” With that, she got up and left.
Xiao Lu didn't know why Dongfang Long was telling her all this. In fact, Dongfang Long himself didn't know either. He just got angry when he saw Xiao Lu's appearance. He had also been beaten and tortured. He had suffered all of Xiao Lu's hardships.
However, Dongfang Long's pride was unyielding; he was Dongfang Long, and he didn't want to be a slave. A person who considers himself a slave is beyond saving.
The next day, when Haitang got up, she started cooking for Dongfang Longshihu. The two of them ate noodles, and after finishing the noodles, they took a few roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) and set off.
