Chapter 126: Are you guys teaming up to steal salt?



Hearing these familiar words, Hu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched, and she suddenly had a strange premonition.

After putting the salt away and going out, she saw her elder brother Hu Qinglu standing in the yard, with a gentle smile on his stunning face, and a pair of seductive fox eyes that were almost narrowed into a slit.

Only when Hu Jiaojiao was here, Hu Qinglu would laugh so happily and wantonly.

"Second brother..."

Hu Jiaojiao had just called out when Hu Qinglu strode over and stretched out a palm-sized animal skin bag in front of her. He said with a smile:

"Little sister, are you worried about not having salt to eat in winter? Don't be afraid, second brother has brought you some salt. Although it's not much, you can eat it together first. If it's not enough, second brother will think of a way for you. I will never let you go without salt!"

This familiar line, this familiar tone...

Hu Jiaojiao looked at the animal skin bag in front of her and couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth. The eldest brother and the second brother really deserve to be brothers. They sent salt when they were asked to, and even used the same words.

"Second brother, I actually..."

"Little sister, take it quickly, don't be polite to second brother, if you dare to refuse second brother I will be angry with you!"

Hu Qinglu stuffed the animal skin bag directly into her hand, not giving her a chance to speak, then suddenly remembered something, looked around, and looked around.

Then he leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and whispered:

"Little sister, don't tell anyone about the salt that your second brother gave you, not even your eldest brother's guys."

After saying that, without waiting for her to nod, he continued, "Also, don't save it, or your second brother will be angry if he knows you don't eat salt. Okay, your second brother is going to hunt."

He raised his hand and rubbed her head lovingly, messing up her soft hair, and then left quickly.

She came in a hurry and left like the wind. She had a graceful, stunning and beautiful face, but she had such a hot temper.

During the whole process, Hu Jiaojiao didn't even have a chance to speak. It wasn't

until Hu Qinglu's back disappeared from her sight that she came back to her senses. She opened the bag of salt with a smile and looked at it. It was about the same as the salt sent by her eldest brother, but a little less than that of her eldest brother.

But such a lot of salt must be all the savings of her second brother.

Hu Jiaojiao had to put it away carefully.

However...

every time she put the salt away and prepared to go out to find the clan leader, someone would come to the house.

The third brother, the fourth brother, as well as her father Hu Qiang and her biological mother Hu Min, lined up one by one as if they had made an appointment, and they were able to stagger their time precisely!

Half a day passed, and Hu Jiaojiao looked at a large stone jar and five animal skin bags of different sizes placed in the corner of the wooden house, and fell into deep thought.

Did her brothers and dad team up to steal salt from other people's homes?

Why can they come up with so much salt like magic when other beastmen are worried about having no salt to eat in winter?

This feeling is just like when she was a child in the countryside, every time she was sad, her grandparents would conjure up some little things to make her happy. Although they are not expensive things, they are very precious to her.

Foxy found a wooden box, put all the salt in it, and put it away carefully to ensure that it would not be discovered by others.

This is the most precious thing she has received since she came to the beast world!

She must also work hard to repay her parents and brothers!

After putting away the salt, Hu Jiaojiao went out again. This time, she waited at the door for a long time. After making sure that no one would come again, she breathed a sigh of relief and went to find the clan leader with peace of mind.

It was already noon when she arrived at the clan leader's house.

Hu Jiaojiao saw a few beastmen standing outside the clan leader's house from a distance, talking to the clan leader. She was thinking about whether to wait for those beastmen to leave before going over, but the clan leader saw her in the distance at a glance.

He immediately waved to let her pass.

"Jiaojiao, you're here just in time, come on!"

The clan leader smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

Several beastmen next to him turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with a friendly look.

When Hu Jiaojiao walked over, she found that they were holding all kinds of fruits in their hands, ranging from sesame seeds to fingernail-sized fruits, in red and yellow.

"You came at the right time. I was just about to look for you, Jiaojiao. Come and have a look. Is there any salt fruit you mentioned here?" The chief looked expectant and winked at several beastmen.

The beastmen hurriedly came forward with the fruits and asked Hu Jiaojiao to identify them.

"Let me take a look." Hu Jiaojiao nodded and looked over carefully.

Many fruits in the forest are poisonous. Beastmen dare not eat them carelessly. They usually only eat large fruits that are suitable for filling their stomachs. This kind of small fruit is basically not picked by anyone. They don't know if it is poisonous or not, and they dare not try it.

Foxy looked at all the fruits carefully and found that they were all inedible fruits, and there were no salt berries.

"In here..." She was about to shake her head, but suddenly her eyes lit up, and she peeled off a layer of red fruits, and used her index finger and thumb to pick out a black bean-like fruit.

This fruit was mixed in the middle, and she almost didn't notice it.

The fruit was black, with a layer of white crystals on it. It felt sandy, and it was very similar to the salt berries in her memory.

Foxy touched down a layer of white crystals, put it on the tip of her tongue and licked it... A salty and bitter taste immediately swept over her taste buds. This kind of salt berries tasted bitter, and even if they were eaten, they were not as delicious as salt. The salt berries in the orc world seemed to be more bitter.

But compared to getting sick without salt, having salt fruit is already good!

"It's this kind of fruit, it's salt fruit, chief." She put the salt fruit in her palm with surprise and handed it to the chief.

She thought it would take some time to find the salt fruit, but she didn't expect that she had just told her yesterday that she would find it so quickly. The orcs are worthy of being orcs, and their execution ability is amazing!

"Really?!" The chief was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he laughed out loud in surprise, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into layers.

"Hahaha, that's great, our tribe is saved!"

After that, he quickly turned around and looked at the orcs, and asked:

"Who of you picked this? Where did you pick it?"

"I didn't pick it."

"It wasn't me either..."

Several beastmen looked at each other and shook their heads. They had no impression of this small black fruit and did not remember picking it before.

The chief was not happy yet when a bucket of cold water was poured on his head.

Seeing this, Fox Jiaojiao said hurriedly, "It must have accidentally mixed in when everyone was picking fruits. Go to the place where we picked fruits this morning and look for it. It should be found."

"At least the scope has been narrowed down, isn't it?"

No matter what, this is a good sign.

After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, the chief's face improved, and he ordered seriously:

"Look for it again, and don't be careless this time. Look for it according to the appearance of this fruit."

"Yes." Several beastmen quickly memorized the appearance of the black fruit, turned around and left, and continued to look for salt fruit.

"Chief, I have something else to discuss with you." After the beastmen left, Hu Jiaojiao spoke about the purpose of this trip.
