Long Mo hung up the animal skin clothes he had taken off on a rack nearby, and saw Foxy Jiaojiao running over.
"Winter is here!"
Foxy Jiaojiao repeated in surprise, sticking her head out to look outside.
The world of animals is so changeable.
The sky, which was clear just now, was now covered with fine snowflakes.
The snowflakes fell on the ground and quickly turned into water and disappeared, but then countless snowflakes fell again, as if they were tireless.
The originally warm weather suddenly turned into winter, and the cold air outside the door blew in her face, causing Foxy Jiaojiao to shrink and rub her arms, which were covered with goose bumps.
"It's winter in a second..."
Fox Jiaojiao couldn't help but mutter.
She had never seen the change of seasons in the beast world, and she didn't expect the temperature to drop so quickly without giving people any time to prepare.
As soon as she finished speaking, a thick beast skin coat was draped over Fox Jiaojiao's shoulders.
Long Mo put her frozen little hands in his palms and warmed them with his body temperature, "It's too cold, go back to the room."
Females are most likely to get sick when they
catch a cold in winter. Many females freeze to death because of the cold in winter.
"The cubs haven't come back yet, I'll go call them back." Fox Jiaojiao shook her head. Several cubs ran to the yard to play outside. They were still wearing vests and beast skin skirts.
Even if a mother is hungry and frozen, the first thing she wants is her cubs, and then herself.
"I'll go call them." Long Mo waited until his little hand was warmed up before he said in a deep voice.
Seeing that his tone was unquestionable, Foxy nodded.
She suddenly thought of something, and with a cry of "Oops," she pulled her hand away, ran upstairs, and took out a beast skin package.
"I haven't sent the scarf and gloves I made for my parents yet. I didn't expect winter to come so soon. I have to send them before the snow falls heavily."
Foxy said in frustration.
She thought there would be at least some signs before winter came.
The winter in the beast world is very cold. Once it snows heavily, it is difficult to walk. Generally, after winter comes, beastmen will stay in their caves and no longer go out.
"I'll send it."
"No need, you go and call the cubs back, don't let them catch a cold."
Foxy shook her head and planned to go there in person.
Winter lasts for six months. If she is unlucky and there is a six-month blizzard, she will not be able to see her parents for six months. She might as well go and see them now.
"It's cold outside." Long Mo frowned, and a hint of disapproval flashed across his stern face.
Other females would rather lie in bed every day when winter comes.
Why does his Jiaojiao like to run outside?
"It's okay. I won't be cold if I put this on. Feel it. It's very warm." The fox Jiaojiao took out a black bearskin cloak, pulled Long Mo's hand and put it on it to feel it.
Her voice was soft and coquettish.
The soft little hand was like a feather grasping Long Mo's heart.
He compromised immediately, "Okay, then you go quickly and come back soon."
Fortunately, it won't snow heavily on the first day of winter, so it should be fine to go out for a while.
Long Mo has even convinced himself in his heart.
He helped Hu Jiaojiao tie the cloak carefully, making sure that she was wrapped tightly in the cloak, and then watched her go out.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was just going to give something to her parents, but it was like going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
There was not much snow outside. Hu Jiaojiao was wearing a cloak and a big hood. Except for the cold wind on her face, it was no different from the winter she had spent before.
Hu Jiaojiao is from the south and has never seen snow since she was a child. She doesn’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but she doesn’t feel cold at all. Instead, she finds it very novel.
A layer of snow soon fell on the black bearskin awning.
Hu Jiaojiao was worried that the snow would get heavier soon, and she was also afraid that Long Mo would worry about her, so she didn’t dare to stay for long and walked very quickly.
After a while, they arrived at Hu Min’s house.
Hu Min was telling Hu Qiang to close the door and was about to go to bed on the kang, when she suddenly saw Hu Jiaojiao outside and hurried out to greet her.
“Jiaojiao, winter is here, why are you still running outside? What if you get frozen?”
Hu Min chattered as she pulled Hu Jiaojiao into the house.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Did that guy Long Mo treat you badly? Did he bully you?"
Hu Qiang, who was standing by, heard this and immediately wanted to close the door, wishing to say:
"Jiaojiao, you just stay here and don't go back. Dad will go and seek justice for you!"
Both of them were crazy about doting on their daughters. In the past, they could live together in the cave in winter and take care of Hu Jiaojiao. This year, they lived in a stone house and it was inconvenient for them to visit each other.
They wished that Hu Jiaojiao could live with them.
Even a room was reserved for Hu Jiaojiao in case of emergency.
"No, Dad and Mom, I'm here to give you something." Hu Jiaojiao explained with a smile, trying to restore Long Mo's image in front of the two elders.
She took out two scarves and gloves wrapped in animal skins.
The scarf and gloves are made of wool, very thick, soft and warm. The gloves are covered with a layer of black cowhide to increase the effect of keeping out the cold.
"What is this?"
The two elders were immediately attracted by the things that Hu Jiaojiao took out, and they were curious.
Hu Jiaojiao helped Hu Min put on the scarf and gloves by herself, explaining:
"This is a scarf. Mom, don't you always say that your neck hurts? Wrap this around your neck to keep warm in winter. These are gloves. After wearing them, your hands will not be easily frozen and cracked..."
These things are more complicated to make, and Hu Jiaojiao has not taught other beastmen yet.
It's not that she is selfish and doesn't want to teach, but other beastmen no longer have extra time to learn how to make these, so she only made some for her family.
If you want to improve the life of the tribe, you have to take it step by step.
Hu Min looked curious, "Jiao Jiao, this thing is quite warm. I don't feel cold at all after putting it on."
After saying that, she reluctantly took off the gloves and stuffed them back into Hu Jiaojiao's hands.
"Jiaojiao, just keep this for yourself, don't give it to mom, mom is not afraid of cold at all, and your dad is even thicker, so he doesn't need it."
Hu Qiang nodded like a garlic.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly, "Mom, this is made for you, I don't have any use for it, just take it."
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao's insistence, Hu Min was embarrassed to accept it.
It's a pity that she can't go out to visit in winter, otherwise she would have to show the females in the tribe what her Jiaojiao made for her.
After Hu Jiaojiao gave the things away and exchanged a few words with the two elders, she was ready to go back.
Before she went out, there was a burst of crying outside the door.
"Chief...you can't do this to us! I'm a female, how can you not give me food!"
"Chief, you're going to starve us to death..."
Fox Jiaojiao heard the voice sounded familiar, and couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Mom, what happened outside?"
