"In the future, if you need the charcoal in the tribe, you will be given priority without any conditions."
The chief is a man who knows what he is doing. If it weren't for Hu Jiaojiao, the tribe wouldn't have these.
"Thank you very much, chief." Hu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and didn't refuse. After thinking for a while, she said,
"Chief, I have already taught them the method of burning charcoal. If they don't understand something in the future, let them ask me directly."
Since she has brought out the method, she won't hide it.
Not to mention that her second brother Hu Qinggao is also among them.
The chief is not without sense. He knows what to tell the beastmen and what not to tell the beastmen. Not to mention that the tribe has just had a traitor. For such an important method, he has selected beastmen who are trustworthy and will not worry about leaking it.
"Okay, okay." The chief smiled.
Hurry up and arrange for the orcs to continue burning charcoal and store it.
There are 200 orcs in the tribe, and many were lost in the previous battles. Now there are only more than 100 orcs, but only females need charcoal.
In the eyes of males, unless they have pups with females in winter, they will turn into beasts the rest of the time, and their thick fur is enough to resist the severe cold.
"Little sister, let your second brother help you move all the charcoal back!"
Fox coquettishly watched the chief leave, and Hu Qinggao's handsome face suddenly enlarged and appeared in front of him.
As he said, he went to get vines and rolled them into ropes to tie up the charcoal.
The wood cut by the orcs was very large, and the smallest one was one meter long and ten centimeters thick, which was also very convenient to carry.
Although Hu Qinggao looks like a graceful young man with a thin figure, he is very efficient at work.
After a while, he tied up 200 kilograms of charcoal, divided it into two bundles, and carried one bundle in each hand.
His frail body did the work of a sturdy man. His
speed was so fast that even the beastmen who wanted to show their courtesy could not react.
Beastmen: With Hu Qinggao around, it seems that they will never have the chance to please Hu Jiaojiao.
"Second brother, I won't go home." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, stepped forward to help, and also tied up a bundle of charcoal weighing more than 50 kilograms, carrying it with both hands.
She is not a weak female who is powerless, and she can't let her second brother suffer alone.
"Ah? If you don't go home, where will the charcoal be moved to?" Hu Qinggao looked puzzled.
"Go to see mom and dad. I haven't seen them for a long time. It's just right to give these charcoals to mom for winter."
She has been in the beast world for so long, and they have always taken care of her. She hasn't repaid them well yet.
The first batch of charcoal must be used to honor her parents.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, the smile on Hu Qinggao's face froze, and he hurriedly carried the charcoal in front of her:
"Go to see mom? No, no, you can't go!"
"Why can't you go? Is there something wrong with mom?" Hu Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously.
The second brother looks weird today.
"No, how could mom get into trouble? Mom is fine..." Hu Qinggao looked away guiltily and changed the subject, "I'll help you move back home first."
Hu Jiaojiao stared at Hu Qinggao's eyes for a few seconds, then took a step forward, and became more determined to go see her parents.
"Since everything is fine, why can't I go see mom?"
He said she couldn't go, but she had to go today.
"Hey! Little sister, don't go, wait for me..."
Hu Qinggao followed anxiously behind, his brows wrinkled into a "川" shape, and finally he could only carry a bundle of charcoal on one shoulder and walk quickly to catch up.
Fifty kilograms was not heavy for Hu Jiaojiao. The more Hu Qinggao tried to stop her, the more she felt something was wrong, and she came to Hu Min's house without stopping.
From a distance, she saw her third and fourth brothers squatting at the door, looking depressed.
When the two heard footsteps, they looked up and found that it was Hu Jiaojiao. They were frightened and jumped up from the ground.
"Little sister, why did you come here suddenly?" Hu Qinglu took the lead and asked in a gentle and warm voice.
"Little sister, you came without saying hello, fourth brother is here to pick you up!" Hu Qingyuan also walked over.
When they saw their sister, they changed their just calmness and put on smiles.
But Hu Jiaojiao still saw the stubbornness in their eyes.
The fox beastmen care about their image the most. The unshaven appearance of these two people seems abnormal no matter how they look at them.
"Is there something wrong with mother?" Hu Jiaojiao asked straight to the point.
The smiles on their faces froze for a moment. Before they could answer, they saw Hu Qinggao following behind them and glared at him.
What's going on? Brother, did you tell me about mom?
Receiving the eye signal, Hu Qinggao immediately shook his head innocently.
"I didn't say anything." He answered with his mouth.
When Hu Jiaojiao turned her head, he immediately closed his mouth and his eyes darted around.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but his temples throbbing.
These guys, do they think she is a fool? They winked at her so blatantly and wanted to fool her.
Hu Qingyuan still thought that Hu Jiaojiao was the little sister they had coaxed away with a few words before. He scratched his head with a guilty conscience and grinned,
"Mom is fine. With us here, nothing can happen."
But in his heart, he was complaining. The little sister never came home before, why did she come back today?
The brothers wanted to continue to coax Hu Jiaojiao away.
Hu Jiaojiao directly stuffed the charcoal into Hu Qingyuan's arms and strode into the house.
"I'll go see mom."
The three brothers were so anxious that they jumped up and hurried to follow.
The wooden house was clean and tidy. There was a pile of thick animal skins in the corner, which was used to keep warm in winter.
There was no furniture in the room, except for animal skins, some food, and a bed made of thick animal skins. The top layer was even the softest wool, which showed that Hu Qiang was also a doting wife.
At this time, Hu Min was lying on the bed, her face pale.
"Mom!"
Hu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed over quickly, subconsciously checking Hu Min's breath.
Fortunately, there was breath.
But the breath was hot...
Hu Jiaojiao reached out and touched Hu Min's forehead.
Hot!
She had a high fever!
"Little sister!"
"Little sister, you..."
The three brothers ran in quickly, and when they saw that Hu Jiaojiao had already discovered it, their voices of resistance suddenly stopped.
"Mom is sick, why didn't you tell me, and you didn't let me know." Hu Jiaojiao was furious.
These three fools, did they expect that Mom's fever would go away just by lying down?
If she hadn't just happened to bring charcoal over, they wouldn't have known that Mom's fever was so serious.
"Little sister, we're afraid that you'll worry..."
"We've already asked an old veterinarian to check it out."
"Yes, mom has already taken the medicine, and the veterinarian said that she'll be fine after a good night's sleep, don't worry, little sister."
The three brothers hurriedly explained, fearing that Hu Jiaojiao would be angry.
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at the three of them. Her stubborn look just now didn't look like she would be well tomorrow.
They're lying!
Hu Jiaojiao was so angry that she didn't want to talk. She turned around, covered herself with her body, took out a thermometer from the space, and measured it on Hu Min's forehead.
Forty degrees!
