The three kids looked at the door nervously.
A dark shadow swooped in and circled around them.
"Is Xiaowu back? Why is there a strange smell..."
Long Xiu heard the movement and quickly identified it as Long Yao.
But this smell is a bit wrong...
"It's Xiaowu, he has diarrhea today." Long Ling'er pinched his nose with one hand and grabbed Long Yao's body with the other hand, pulling him out the door, "Xiaowu, you stink, go wash yourself quickly, or your mother won't give you meat today..."
"Cough cough cough..." Long Xiu, who was sniffing the smell in the air carefully, suddenly froze and coughed violently a few times.
Long Yu walked in and covered his nose with skillful movements.
Seeing that there was no one behind Long Yu, Long Ling'er was about to ask why she didn't see her mother, but a foxy voice came from outside the door, "Children, mother is back, and second uncle is here to see you too."
Second uncle!
That good-looking second uncle who always comes to deliver food but only lets them look at and smell the fragrance!
The five children frowned at the same time.
They didn't like Hu Qinggao at all, oh no, they didn't like the whole family of the vicious female.
The five children chose to stay in the wooden house.
Hu Jiaojiao walked fast, and when she came back, she saw Long Yu entering the house. Knowing that they didn't want to come out, she took Hu Qinggao into the yard to look at the meat first.
"Are these all the prey caught by that rubbish Long Mo?"
Hu Qinggao was so shocked when he saw the piles of meat hanging in the yard that he couldn't close his mouth.
When his parents came back yesterday, he told them about this. He and his third and fourth brothers didn't believe it.
They didn't expect it to be true. "Second brother, Long Mo is not a rubbish. Don't say that about him anymore."
Hu Jiaojiao corrected him with a serious face.
But don't let the villain hear it, otherwise she will die miserably.
"Okay, okay, second brother, I won't call him trash anymore."
The sister-indulging demon Hu Qinggao changed his words unconditionally, and suddenly asked, "Why did he only send a little prey back each time before? Did he deliberately bully you?"
"No, second brother, he also sent a lot of prey back before, but they were all hidden by the beastmen in the tribe. I found out yesterday and asked them to return them."
Hu Jiaojiao told Hu Qinggao what happened yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Hu Qinggao's face was instantly filled with anger.
"Who is it? Who is so bold to steal your prey? I'm going to break their legs!"
The handsome man suddenly turned into a grumpy brother.
Hu Jiaojiao pulled him with an embarrassed smile, "Second brother, it's okay, they won't dare to do it again in the future."
The most important thing now is the cubs and the original body's family. She doesn't want to cause trouble because of the mess left by the original body, and get herself into trouble, but if these beastmen bully her in the future, she won't swallow her anger.
After much persuasion, Hu Qinggao was finally persuaded.
Hu Qinggao insisted on leaving the three pheasants.
Hearing the pheasants' cackling, the five cubs poked their heads out of the wooden house. Long Zhong stared at the pheasants without blinking, and his throat rolled from time to time.
Hu Jiaojiao also saw Long Zhong's reaction.
Just as she was wondering, she suddenly thought of something.
By the way, Long Zhong is the only fox cub among the five cubs, and foxes...seem to like eating chickens.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, so she didn't refuse and accepted the pheasant, but also gave Hu Qinggao a large piece of meat to take back.
Knowing that Hu Jiaojiao had no shortage of food, Hu Qinggao didn't bother to be polite with her.
This was the meat given to him by his little sister, and he would be jealous of the other three when he went back.
When he was about to leave, Hu Qinggao suddenly saw several pieces of animal skins hanging behind the meat.
He asked hesitantly, "Little sister, what are you doing hanging up the animal skins?"
Hu Jiaojiao took a look and saw that they were the animal skins that had been washed yesterday.
"Oh, I want to dry them and make clothes for the cubs."
Yesterday, six skins were peeled off in total. Except for the one she peeled herself which was incomplete due to technical problems, and the white fox's skin which was damaged, the others were all intact.
The cubs were small, so they were enough to make clothes.
Hu Qinggao looked strange.
"Little sister... animal skins are not tanned like this. If you dry them like this, they will become hard and difficult to wear." He explained with a bit of amusement.
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned, and the smile on her face froze a little, "Is that so..."
She hurried to touch the animal skin, and it was just as Hu Qinggao said, hard, and not the soft animal skin she was wearing at all.
Hu Jiaojiao's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled together, and her face was a little gloomy. If she had known earlier, she would have asked the beastmen here how to tan animal skins...
She thought that animal skins could be used after washing.
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao looked unhappy, Hu Qinggao hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, little sister, it's just a few animal skins, it's broken, what kind of animal skin do you want, second brother will send it to you in a few days!"
"Thank you, second brother, no need, next time second brother, teach me how to tan animal skins!"
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, she didn't want to be a beggar like her original self.
Since she didn't know how to do it, she would remember the lesson this time and learn it.
"Okay!" Hu Qinggao nodded repeatedly, not expecting Hu Jiaojiao to be interested in these things.
After sending Hu Qinggao away, Hu Jiaojiao touched the hard animal skins and still felt a little sorry.
However, although these animal skins cannot be used to make clothes, they can be made into a few pairs of shoes. The beastmen here seem to have no shoes. She and several cubs are barefoot.
She is not used to not wearing shoes. She did
what she said. While the cubs were out playing, Hu Jiaojiao entered the space, found the needle and thread, and began to make shoes with animal skins according to her memory of watching her grandmother sew soles in the village when she was a child.
In addition to needle and thread, she also found cloth. After thinking about it, Foxy decided to use softer cloth to make the lining of the shoes and then wrap the animal skin on the outside. This way, the shoes would be soft and comfortable, and the appearance would not arouse suspicion.
The original body never worked before, with long, white and tender fingers, comparable to the daughters of ancient times, but beastmen are relatively strong, so making shoes is very easy for Hu Jiaojiao.
In no time, four pairs of small shoes were made.
Long Yao had not yet transformed, and Hu Jiaojiao did not make shoes for him because she did not know his shoe size.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the four pairs of small and unique shoes in her hands and was very satisfied.
The workmanship was quite delicate, but because of the ordinary materials, the appearance looked very simple, but it was enough to wear.
After making shoes for Zaizai, she started to make her own.
Staring at the needle and thread for a long time, Hu Jiaojiao felt a little tired, and fell asleep on the stone pillar in the yard before her own shoes were finished.
When she opened her eyes again, Foxy broke out in a cold sweat.
She looked up at the sky in a hurry. The sun was almost overhead, and her whole face was hot, like a cooked apple.
Foxy's hands were soaked with sweat and were icy cold.
She patted her cheeks with her hands, and the cool touch finally made her consciousness sober.
She had a nightmare!
