After hearing what Long Mo said, Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
She didn't expect Long Mo to tell her about the past.
The book didn't describe the villain's past in detail, but Hu Jiaojiao knew that with the author's character, it would be impossible for him to have a good past.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't even imagine what he had experienced in the past to turn him into the cruel, bloodthirsty, murderous villain in the future.
The original body's betrayal was just a trick, and Long Mo's blackening was determined at the moment of birth.
Somehow, this sentence came to Hu Jiaojiao's mind.
Immediately, she shook her head quickly to drive away this terrible thought.
"I may not be very strong, but I will protect you and my baby with my life." Long Mo promised seriously and carefully, word by word.
It was not until today that he felt that he was a real beastman and her partner.
Not garbage, not waste, and not a walking corpse.
Hearing Long Mo's promise, Foxy blinked and felt a little sour in the tip of her nose.
She had always been afraid and worried about how to conquer the big villain, but she didn't expect that she would succeed with just a beast skin coat.
But why wasn't she as happy as she imagined?
Foxy sniffed and showed a bright and gentle smile, "You are also very strong, you just need time to grow, and you will definitely become a beastman stronger than Yingyuan in the future, I believe in you."
Long Mo's heart was touched.
Stronger than Yingyuan?
Does she...really think so?
"Okay, it's just a piece of clothing. I will make new clothes for you and the kids every year in the future." Seeing Yingyuan standing there with a serious expression, Hu Jiaojiao quickly changed the subject and continued to do the work at hand. She
was afraid that he would be immersed in the bad memories of the past.
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao's back, a firm look flashed in Long Mo's eyes, and he secretly made up his mind that he must become a stronger beastman than Yingyuan in the future.
Not to let her down.
When it was almost dark, the five kids came back.
Hu Jiaojiao had already prepared the grilled fish and put it on the table. Fortunately, their dining table was big enough to accommodate seven fish weighing more than ten kilograms.
The five cubs were already starving. As soon as they came back, they washed their hands and sat in a row at the table, each of them standing straight.
The roasted fish was fragrant, with a thick layer of garlic and a little chili on top, and it was emitting hot white steam.
This was the taste the cubs liked the most.
Seeing the five cubs drooling, Foxy couldn't help laughing.
"Why did you come back so late? It's getting dark. Remember to come back earlier next time, otherwise you won't be able to catch dinner." She reminded them casually and put children's chopsticks on them.
"It's all Ling'er." Long Zhong pouted and muttered softly.
"What?" Foxy didn't hear clearly and looked back in confusion.
"Nothing." Long Ling'er immediately replied with a smile, "Third brother just said that mother is so amazing. She caught such a big fish in one go. We couldn't catch it even after a whole day!"
After hearing Long Ling'er's words, a smile appeared on her face and she looked at Long Zhong suspiciously, "Really?"
Why didn't she think that this boy would compliment her.
"Of course, third brother, don't you think so?" Long Ling'er smiled sweetly and turned to look at Long Zhong next to her.
Long Zhong felt that his thigh was pinched hard and he immediately took a breath of cool air.
"Hiss... yes!"
Hu Jiaojiao looked surprised, feeling that something was wrong...
"Mom, I'm so hungry, Xiaowu's stomach is almost flat, let's eat!" Long Ling'er tilted her head and urged with an innocent smile.
Long Yao on the other side nodded like a garlic.
"Ah~" Eat meat! Eat meat! Sister also promised to share my meat!
Long Mo helped Hu Jiaojiao put all the food on the table. He happened to see this scene, his eyes flashed, and passed across Long Ling'er's face.
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao seemed to be in a good mood, he pretended not to see it.
A male cub, how can he not suffer a little injury?
Long Zhong's face turned ashen, he gritted his teeth and tried not to cry out, he knew very well that if this little girl got angry, he would suffer in the future.
Long Xiu was taciturn, his gloomy face was filled with a smile because of the laughter at the dinner table.
Long Yu would help him pick out fish bones from time to time, he was a good brother who did his job well.
When Hu Jiaojiao saw Long Yu picking out fish bones, she smiled and praised: "Yu'er is so sensible, he knows how to take care of his brother."
In the past, Long Xiu would most likely reject this behavior, he would only think that they felt he was useless and that was why they helped him too much.
But now he readily accepted it, Hu Jiaojiao thought this was a very good start.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's praise, Long Yu dropped the chopsticks in his hand, and his tender little face was tense, as if he was accepting some sacred mission.
"Sorry, I'll go wash them." He quickly picked up the chopsticks and walked towards the water tank stiffly.
Hu Jiaojiao blinked, puzzled, why are they all so weird today? Are they too tired from playing outside?
Long Mo, who was standing by, heard her words and his eyes darkened.
This was his first time eating fish, and he didn't know that fish bones should be picked out. He looked at the fish bones that Long Yu picked out, and then looked at the fish in front of Hu Jiaojiao, which he hadn't had time to pick with his chopsticks, and he also stretched out his chopsticks.
Who knows...
"Pah!"
Foxy Jiaojiao slapped Long Mo's chopsticks with her chopsticks and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't you eating enough? Why are you trying to pick up my fish?"
Long Mo: "..."
The family of seven had dinner "happily".
After dinner, the five kids and Foxy Jiaojiao washed up and went back to sleep. Long Mo looked at the wooden house shrouded in moonlight, sighed, and went to sleep on his exclusive bed - the tree trunk.
The next day.
Foxy Jiaojiao was awakened by a burst of anxious conversation.
She rubbed her eyes and looked outside. It was already daybreak. She got up and went out to see what happened.
When she went out, Hu Jiaojiao found Long Mo in the yard, with a male standing next to him.
Hu Jiaojiao recognized that this was the male beastman who often followed the tribe leader. Seeing his anxious face, she immediately had a bad feeling.
"Long Mo, what happened?" She hurried over to ask.
Hearing the voice, Long Mo turned around and saw that Hu Jiaojiao was still sleepy, with a few pink marks on her fair face. Knowing that she had just woken up, he relaxed his tightly pursed lips and was about to say that it was nothing.
The male on the side trusted Foxy very much and blurted out:
"The tribe has run out of salt. The chief is worried and wants everyone to come over to find a solution."
"Salt is gone?!" Foxy suddenly came to her senses.
The tribe didn't exchange salt in the first place. Last time she heard from the chief that the remaining salt was barely enough for the females to survive the winter. How could it suddenly be gone?
