She was afraid that she would describe it in too much detail, and that it might look different from the salt here, and mislead them.
Despite this, the beasts' eyes still lit up, and they were extremely excited.
"Great, the tribe is saved!"
"Fox Jiaojiao, you are really the lucky star of our tribe!"
"Chief, tomorrow we will look for this kind of fruit..."
Seeing that the beasts believed her without hesitation, Fox Jiaojiao was a little surprised. Despite this, she still had no plan to take salt from space and share it with everyone. If
a person does not work for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. She had to protect herself, her cubs, and her family first before she could talk about other things.
"Oh, right." Fox Jiaojiao thought of something and added, "Wild animals probably don't eat much of this kind of fruit. There may still be a lot left on the tree, so it's hard to tell them apart."
In autumn, the animals in the forest also need to store food for the winter, and the fruits are also divided up by animals. At this time, if the beastmen go to the forest again, they basically won't see many fruits.
The beastmen carefully noted this feature.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Fox Jiaojiao, but Fox Jiaojiao felt like someone was spying on her. But when she looked back, there were no strange or suspicious looks from the beastmen except for the happy faces of the beastmen.
She retracted her gaze and shook her head.
Maybe it was her illusion.
"Yingyuan, send a few more beastmen to guard the cave recently. Tell me if there is any situation. There must be no accidents with the remaining materials in the tribe." The chief was very happy, but he did not forget to warn Yingyuan carefully.
"I know, chief." Yingyuan nodded to show that he understood.
After some discussion, the beasts finally felt relieved.
Hu Jiaojiao also went home with Long Mo without any worries.
On the way, Hu Jiaojiao found that Long Mo looked at her strangely, and she felt a little uneasy.
Could he have seen something?
When Hu Jiaojiao lowered her head and racked her brains to think about how to get away with it, Long Mo's voice suddenly rang out.
"I will hunt more prey in the future. Just tell me what you want to eat."
"Ah?"
Hearing Long Mo's words, Hu Jiaojiao was stunned. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the tall male next to her in confusion.
Why did you suddenly say this?
"Although I am not strong, I can still feed you and the cubs. Don't starve yourself in the future." Long Mo said seriously.
"Oh." Looking at Long Mo's serious expression, Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth and nodded honestly.
Long Mo's frown did not relax. What he thought in his heart was:
such a small fruit, she would pick it to eat. It must be that the food on weekdays is not enough, so she would pick such a small fruit to fill her hunger.
He is such an incompetent partner, he can't even guarantee that his partner is warm and well fed, he is not a good partner.
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao's thin and weak petite figure, Long Mo secretly made up his mind that he must raise her to be plump and fair in the future.
Although he didn't know why Long Mo said that, Hu Jiaojiao still breathed a sigh of relief, and walked with her head down with a guilty conscience. She
didn't notice the change in Long Mo's expression at all.
After sending Hu Jiaojiao home, Long Mo went out.
Hu Jiaojiao thought he was going hunting, so she didn't think much about it. She was in a hurry to go out today and didn't have time to make breakfast.
The five children had already gotten up. When they found that the two were not at home, they did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, they cleaned the house and took their slingshots to disturb the birds in the trees.
Hu Jiaojiao was making breakfast when she suddenly saw Long Ling'er happily running into the yard with a sparrow that was no longer breathing in her hand.
"Mom! I shot the bird!"
Long Ling'er held the dead sparrow in her palm like a treasure and looked up to show Hu Jiaojiao.
"I am the first one to hit the bird, mother, am I awesome?"
"Ling'er is so awesome? I didn't expect Ling'er to be better than her brothers, awesome." Vixen was also surprised, she didn't expect Long Ling'er to be so accurate with the slingshot.
When she was playing with the slingshot just now, she couldn't even hit stones far away! She
is worthy of being the villain's child, with unlimited potential!
Hearing Vixen's words, several children not far away sighed and looked at the dozen or so bird corpses they had buried in the soil.
Long Yu and Long Zhong, the main force, looked helpless.
Who said she was their biological sister? Since she is happy, let her be the first for once.
Long Xiu also pursed his lips, with an indulgent smile on his face.
Although he didn't hit the bird, he was able to touch its wings and knock off its feathers.
This was a great comfort to him.
In comparison, Long Yao was a troublemaker, he couldn't hit anything he aimed at, but he was still enjoying it and didn't know what failure meant.
If it hadn't messed around and scared away a lot of birds, they might have been able to hit more.
It's a pity for the meat, they have to bury it secretly without Xiaowu's knowledge, otherwise Xiaowu would dig it out and roast it, and Ling'er would find out and be disappointed again.
"Oh..." Long Yu and Long Zhong sighed at the same time. They
really worried about me. Long
Ling'er was very excited. She held the little bird in her hands as if it were a priceless treasure, and kept nagging:
"Mom, I want to give this little bird to you. This is my first time catching prey, and I must give it to you to eat!"
She can also help her mother with work!
What the cubs yearn for most is to play the role of an adult beastman and do what an adult beastman does.
Foxy looked at the little sparrow, which was nothing but hair and bones, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you Ling'er, Mom will kill Ling'er's prey in a while, and taste it well."
Although it was a bit troublesome, she was reluctant to extinguish Long Ling'er's enthusiasm.
"Mother, I know how to kill prey. I'll kill this myself."
Long Ling'er said hastily, fearing that Hu Jiaojiao would not allow it.
"Okay, then you have to be careful not to cut your hands." Hu Jiaojiao thought about it, did not refuse, and gave her a knife.
"Thank you, mother, you are the best!" Long Ling'er excitedly took the knife, her eyes curved into crescents with excitement, and she jumped to the river.
Long Ling'er liked to be with Fox Jiaojiao the most, and she often watched when she was dealing with the prey.
Holding the knife, Long Ling'er began to bleed and pluck the prey by the river. Her pink and soft face stared at the small prey in her hand seriously, and she did not slack off at all because the prey was small.
A pair of white and tender hands accurately used the knife to cut open the sparrow's abdomen, took out the internal organs, and carefully separated the bones and meat.
Bones as thin as fish bones were placed in rows on the shore, and were shaved cleanly without a trace of meat.
After a while, Long Ling'er had a handful of boneless meat in her hands.
"Okay! Now we can eat it!"
Long Ling'er was delighted, and carefully washed the knife, and then took the meat back with satisfaction.
