The small hoe head was stepped on and bounced up, hitting Long Yao's back of the head with a "bang".
"Ouch!"
Long Yao cried out in pain, and the earth fruit in his hand was thrown out, and he raised his hand to cover the back of his head.
The earth fruit drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit Long Ling'er who was concentrating on digging earth fruits not far away.
"Ling'er! Be careful!"
Long Yu was the first to notice the flying earth fruit, and his face changed. By the time he reacted to remind Long Ling'er, it was too late.
At this moment, a thin figure blocked Long Ling'er and blocked the earth fruit with his back.
"Bang!"
The hard earth fruit hit Yin Cang's back, and the pain made his face pale.
Long Ling'er also saw the fruit that hit Yin Cang, and her cute face suddenly showed some tension.
"Yin Cang, are you okay?" She quickly supported him.
Yin Cang shook his head and slowly straightened his back.
It was just a hit. He had been injured much more seriously before, so he was not so arrogant.
Several kids also gathered around. Long Xiu looked at Yin Cang with a strange look in his eyes, as if he had discovered something.
Long Yu was concerned and helped to check Yin Cang's injuries. "Fortunately, it was just a dirt fruit. Yin Cang, thank you for helping Ling'er block the dirt fruit."
"This dirt fruit weighs several kilograms. If it hits Ling'er's head, Ling'er will probably become a fool."
Long Zhong curled his lips and looked at Long Yao who was tiptoeing towards Hu Jiaojiao.
Long Yao suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his whole body straightened up, turning around like a robot.
Covering his head and smiling awkwardly, he apologized in a weak baby voice:
"It's my fault! I'm sorry, Fourth Sister and Brother, I didn't mean it..."
Xiaowu's head also hurt, but he didn't dare to say anything, sob...
Yincang waved his hands to show that he didn't care much.
Long Yu and Long Zhong originally had a sense of rejection towards Yincang, but after this incident, they liked him a lot more.
"Xiaowu, it's okay. Be careful next time. Don't dig the earth fruits. Help take the earth fruits to mother's basket." Long Yu comforted Long Yao.
"Ah!"
Long Yao nodded immediately, and "Hey hey hey" ran to move the earth fruits.
This little episode did not attract the attention of the beastmen.
Long Yao, who was carrying the earth fruit and staggering back and forth, attracted the attention of the beastmen.
"Jiaojiao, your cubs are so sensible, they come to help you with work."
"Your Long Yao is so hardworking at such a young age, it's really enviable!"
"My cubs are like cows, they move when whipped, and they don't know how to help without being whipped..."
The female on the side couldn't help but say enviously.
Who wouldn't like such a well-behaved and sensible cub!
Fox Jiaojiao smiled, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the proud voice of Fox Min.
"That's right! Don't you see who gave birth to this kid? My little Jiaojiao has inherited Jiaojiao's good qualities. He has been obedient and hardworking since he was young..."
Hu Min, who had just bent over to dig for the fruit, had stood up without knowing when, with his hands on his hips, as if he was going to show off to the females. While
Hu Jiaojiao was listening to the words, she happened to see Long Yao secretly taking out a small fruit from the basket, looking around, and then quietly putting it in his pocket...
Hu Jiaojiao: "..." This is not inherited from her, is it?
"Jiaojiao, I didn't expect that the little cub you adopted is so well-groomed and handsome!"
The speaker was Houxiang, with two monkey cubs lying on her shoulders. The cubs were very clingy to her, and it was very hard to work with her. She had to straighten up and pound her waist from time to time.
In the past, she would have been exhausted from working with the two cubs.
In the past few months, she has lost a lot of weight according to the methods taught by Hu Jiaojiao. Now she can be considered plump at most, and she is completely different from her previous fat appearance.
For this, Houxiang also gave Hu Jiaojiao several thick animal skins as a token of gratitude.
Hearing Houxiang's words, the other females also turned their eyes to Yincang.
They all showed surprised expressions.
"Fox Jiaojiao, is this the cub you adopted?"
"You can't tell it's the dirty, skinny cub. I thought they were two beasts..."
"This cub is really handsome. I think it's strong. I'm sure it will be very powerful in the future!"
The females were a little jealous. They
originally thought it was just a cub who ate for free, but they didn't expect that after being raised by Fox Jiaojiao, it would be clean and decent, and willing to work. It's
even more obedient than their own cubs!
"Yeah, Yincang is a good cub."
Fox Jiaojiao smiled and agreed one by one.
Yincang, who was not far away, heard what the females said and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
This was the first time that an orc had said this about him...
In the past, the orcs in the tribe either beat or scolded him, saying that he was a burden to his brother, and that if he hadn't been brought along, his brother would have found a partner long ago.
This was the first time that the words in his ears were no longer full of malice.
The female actually praised him in front of outsiders.
This gave him the illusion that he was truly accepted and approached by this tribe.
"I say, Long Ling'er seems to get along well with him, and they are not much different in age. Are you planning to raise him as a partner for Long Ling'er?"
At this time, the middle-aged female asked Hu Jiaojiao with a gossipy look on her face.
Yin Cang's ears turned red unexpectedly, and the small hoe in his hand accidentally dug into a soil fruit, cutting it in half.
"Brother, you dug up the bad fruit!"
Long Yao seemed to have received a signal, and ran over to pick up the broken fruit.
He didn't notice Yin Cang's abnormality at all, and said seriously:
"Xiao Wu, help brother take away the bad fruit."
Yincang stood there nervously without moving, which was considered as tacit agreement.
Long Yu and others looked at Yincang dangerously, and their eyes were immediately defensive.
Could this boy like Ling'er?
As soon as the female finished speaking, she was hit on the arm by the female next to her, "Hmph! You are the only one with a big mouth, don't talk nonsense..."
"Is there anything that cannot be said? They are a good match." The female looked puzzled.
Their mixed tribe has no requirements for bloodline, and only looks at strength when looking for a partner.
"Shut up! Have you forgotten that the cub is a dumb, speechless disabled orc... How could Foxy Jiaojiao hand Long Ling'er to him..."
In the orc world, disabled orcs are a very shameful existence.
Hearing this, the female remembered and quickly covered her mouth.
The joy that had just risen in Yin Cang's heart was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water.
He seemed to be thrown into an ice cellar, completely blocking the exit and staying in that cold place forever. The
female's last sentence "How could Foxy Jiaojiao hand Long Ling'er to him?" kept echoing in his ears, as if reminding him that he would never be truly accepted by the orcs.
Yin Cang lowered his eyes, clenched and unclenched his fists.
Yes.
He is just a cripple...
