Fox Jiaojiao looked at the cubs with amusement.

She felt that the stone bucket was still too heavy.

It would be great if she could get the iron ore from the Canglang tribe. The tribe could also use iron tools, which would be much more convenient than stone tools.

After a moment, Fox Jiaojiao withdrew her thoughts.

She turned to look at Long Mo and said softly,

"Long Mo, tell the tribe leader how to dig a well. Let him lead the beastmen to dig a public well in the tribe. Females who need it can also dig wells at home. In this way, everyone doesn't have to go to the river to dig ice and get ice water."

It is not convenient for beastmen living in caves to make fires, so they drink ice water directly in winter.

Although ice water can not kill beastmen,

it is common to get sick.

In the past, there were even beastmen who accidentally fell into the river and froze to death in winter.

"Okay."

Long Mo nodded, and without even changing his clothes, he transformed into a beast and flew to the clan leader's house.

The last three months of winter are the coldest.

We should dig a well now, otherwise it will be too cold to go out later.

The cubs seemed to have discovered a new toy. They took turns to fetch a bucket of water and satisfied their desire with a look of wonder.

Only Long Yao could hold the stone stick by standing on tiptoe.

However, he couldn't draw any water because he couldn't exert any strength.

The little guy tried several times without success, and walked to Hu Jiaojiao with his head down, with a trace of grievance at the corners of his mouth.

He was so useless.

The big brothers could all fetch water, but he couldn't.

Long Zhong laughed at the side, "Xiaowu, where did the meat you usually eat go? Why haven't you grown any taller or stronger?"

Long Yao pouted and raised his fist to fight.

As a result, Long Zhong put his hand on his head, and his fist couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

"It's okay, Yao'er, you will be able to do it when you grow up." She comforted him tenderly.

Long Yao was the last to break out of the shell and the last to transform, resulting in the other cubs being normal in size, and only Long Yao still looking like a three-year-old child.

However, since Long Yao lost weight, he has grown a lot taller, and there are obvious signs that he is catching up with his brothers. It is only a matter of time before he returns to the size of a normal cub.

Long Yao pursed his lips and sighed, "When will Xiao Wu grow up? I want him to grow up quickly..."

Then he beat up the stinky fox!

He made him laugh at him all the time.

However, Long Yao forgot that he would grow up, and Long Zhong would grow up too. When he grew up, he still couldn't beat Long Zhong.

"You will regret it when you grow up, and you will miss it now." The foxy coquettishly rubbed his soft hair and said with a smile.

"No way!" Long Yao shook his head seriously, "Xiao Wu will grow up and won't regret it."

Hu Jiaojiao smiled without saying anything, and changed the subject:

"Well, can Xiao Wu help mother deliver the fried melon seeds to Ling'er and Yin Cang?"

"Yes! Xiao Wu will deliver food to sister!" Long Yao nodded quickly, finally there was something he could help with! Hu

Jiaojiao returned to the kitchen and packed four bags of fried melon seeds for Long Yao.

Long Yu and others also went out with fried melon seeds to play with their friends.

Hu Jiaojiao carried water back to the kitchen to wash the pot, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, there was a knock on the door.

"Little sister!"

It was the voice of the eldest brother Hu Qingshan.

Hu Jiaojiao put down what she was doing and went to open the door. She saw Hu Qingshan standing at the door excitedly with a familiar bow tied on his arm.

This bow...why does it look familiar?

She had only taught Ling'er how to tie a bow, and Ling'er had spent almost the entire day learning from the rat veterinarian.

"Brother, are you injured?" Hu Jiaojiao quickly understood and wrinkled her eyebrows slightly.

How could he get injured while confessing his love

? Looking at the expression on his brother's face, he didn't seem to be disappointed that his confession had failed. Did he succeed?

But he didn't look very happy either...

Hu Jiaojiao was full of doubts.

"It's okay, just a minor injury." Hu Qingshan waved his hand nonchalantly, "I listened to you today and went to Fengsheng to express my feelings, and it really worked! Little sister, you are so smart, I will ask you for advice next time."

"Worked? Did she agree to be your partner?" Hu Jiaojiao was stunned, a little unbelievable.

Big brother is a bit strong!

A great victory in the first battle.

Hu Qingshan shook his head, "No, Fengsheng didn't agree to me."

What?

Hu Jiaojiao was even more confused, "Then she rejected you!?"

Hu Qingshan shook his head again, and nodded, "Yes, not entirely."

"Neither agreed nor rejected, big brother, what did she say to you?" Hu Jiaojiao felt a little confused, was big brother guessing riddles with her.

Hu Qingshan showed an embarrassed smile on his honest face, like a young man who was just beginning to fall in love. He rubbed his slightly red ears and said with some joy:

"She said she doesn't want to find a partner now, and finding a partner will affect the witch doctor's ability."

"I plan to wait for her. When she is willing to find a partner, she will accept me."

"..."

Hu Jiaojiao was full of black lines in her head. This was really a beautiful misunderstanding.

It seems that the plan to make Fengsheng her sister-in-law has failed.

"Brother..." She stroked her forehead and said helplessly, "You were rejected. This is her excuse for not wanting to be a partner with you."

Her brother really didn't hear the hidden meaning of Fengsheng's words!

"Ah." Hu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand yet. He asked with wide eyes full of confusion, "Is that what you mean?"

"Of course! When a female says she doesn't want to find a partner for the time being, she means she doesn't want to be a partner with you!" Hu Jiaojiao nodded very seriously.

She always rejected other beastmen in this way.

"Think about it, if she likes you too, why doesn't she tell you how long to wait and discuss it with you?" Hu Jiaojiao analyzed with Hu Qingshan with a serious face.

Her elder brother is honest, so he should not become love-brained.

Waiting for a female for several years in vain, and then being dismissed with a sentence "I don't like you", wouldn't it be a waste of several years of time and feelings, she doesn't want her elder brother to get hurt.

Hu Qingshan was like a robot that had lost power. He stood there in a daze, and even his eyes didn't move.

After a while, he came back to his senses from deep thought.

"Little sister, what you said seems to make sense..." The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

It turned out that he was really rejected.

Hu Qingshan felt hit hard after failing to express his feelings to a female for the first time.

Seeing that Hu Qingshan seemed to be in a bad mood, Hu Jiaojiao patted his shoulder and hurriedly comforted him:

"It's okay, big brother, she doesn't like you, you can think of ways to make her like you, as long as you have perseverance, you can melt an ice cube."

If he can't warm her up, big brother will give up.

It's better than being kept in the dark and waiting foolishly.

After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, Hu Qingshan's expression eased a little, and he said with a sad face:

"Then how can I make females like me?"

He had little contact with females before. Apart from Hu Min and Hu Jiaojiao, Feng Sheng was the female he talked to the most.

Hu Jiaojiao frowned and thought about it.

He hooked his finger and motioned Hu Qingshan to come closer.

"Brother, you are like this..."
