"Third brother, is there something wrong with your eyes? You don't even recognize me, hum!"
Long Ling'er only felt refreshed, but didn't know how much she had changed. She thought they were teasing her on purpose, and puffed up her cheeks in anger.
Long Zhong touched his nose and whispered, "She is prettier, but her temper is still so bad..."
"Third brother, what bad things did you say about me again!"
"No, no, I was praising you for being pretty!" Long Zhong rarely refuted with a venomous tongue.
In the past, Long Ling'er always rolled in the mud with them, and was just a black boy. They didn't think there was any difference between Long Ling'er and them.
When they saw such a fair and cute little female, they almost thought that Long Ling'er had been replaced by a vicious female.
Long Yu felt a little guilty. He was useless in the past. Other people's little females were all adorable, but he could only let Ling'er suffer with them.
It seems that the vicious female has really changed for the better. She actually helped Ling'er take a bath herself.
Yes, females are different from them. In the future, Ling'er will also be a little female who has a mother who loves her. That's great.
"Hmph! I won't tell you anymore." Long Ling'er pouted and looked at Long Yu again. She turned around and asked expectantly, "Brother, do my new clothes look good?"
Long Yu rarely showed a doting smile on his face. "It looks good. Ling'er is the prettiest."
Long Yao was the most excited. He flew to Long Ling'er, sniffed left and right, and looked around. His round little eyes were full of curiosity.
Long Xiu is now behind the few people, staring with empty eyes, pursing his pale lips, and a trace of longing on his face.
If only he could see it too...
The cubs have their own thoughts.
Foxy Jiaojiao poured out the black water in the basin, replaced it with a basin of clean warm water, and came to catch the cubs.
"Who's next?"
The cubs looked at Foxy Jiaojiao in surprise, a little confused.
"Do we have to wash too?" Long Zhong stared in disbelief.
Foxy said with a serious face, "Of course you have to wash it. You little brats, how can you change into new clothes without washing them? Do you want to make your new clothes dirty?"
After saying that, without waiting for the brats to answer, she walked up to Long Zhong, pulled him to the big foot basin, and began to take off his dirty clothes .
Long Zhong immediately protected his fur skirt, holding the hem tightly with both hands, staring at Foxy with wide eyes.
"What are you doing! Don't touch my clothes!"
The childish voice was full of ferocity, like a little lion with its hair standing on end.
"Puchi, little guy is still shy?" Foxy couldn't help laughing.
She loved teasing this little guy the most. He would get angry when teased.
He was so cute. Long Zhong's expression was still fierce, "Who, who is shy! Don't touch me!"
"How can I help you take a bath without touching you?"
"I can wash myself. I don't want you to be so kind."
"Can you wash yourself clean?" Foxy looked at him in disbelief.
"I..." Long Zhong was speechless, as if he remembered the difference between Long Ling'er before and after taking a bath.
Foxy couldn't help laughing, but she also thought that most beastmen matured early. A six-year-old kid also began to be ignorant. It is indeed necessary to keep a distance.
Let him sit in the basin in his fur skirt, wash his hair and rub his back, and let him do the rest by himself.
During the whole process, Long Zhong kept his eyes tightly closed, and his hands tightly clasped the edge of the foot basin, as if he was enduring painful torture and was in great pain.
Hu Jiaojiao was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It's just a shower, is it so painful?
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Zhong's chicken-nest hair full of knots and planned to trim it like Long Ling'er, but was strongly resisted by Long Zhong.
"No! You dare to touch my hair, I don't need a haircut!" Long Zhong covered his head with both hands, his wet hair stuck to his cheeks, and his dark pupils were tinged with scarlet.
It seemed that cutting his hair was more important than taking his life.
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Long Zhong had such a big reaction.
She had to persuade him softly, "Zhong'er, your hair is all tangled. Let me cut it short for you. It will grow out later."
But Long Zhong seemed to be irritated and pushed her away with a roar, "I won't cut it. I know you did it on purpose. You want everyone to see my scar and laugh at me. Get out! Get out!"
After hearing what Long Zhong said, Hu Jiaojiao realized that he didn't cut his hair because he wanted to cover the scar on his face, so she quickly changed her words.
"Okay, we won't cut your hair. Let me help you dry your hair, okay?"
Long Zhong retreated again and again, unwilling to get close to Hu Jiaojiao.
Hu Jiaojiao was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she had to give him a towel and let him dry it himself.
When pouring bath water for Long Zhong, Hu Jiaojiao clearly felt that the cubs looked at her with a strange look. Their relationship had been much better in the past few days, but today they were a little more distant.
But she thought about it and couldn't figure out what went wrong.
After Long Zhong finished his bath, he left the yard without saying a word. The cubs looked at each other and didn't follow him.
Hu Jiaojiao knew that he wouldn't go far, and if she went over, he would be annoying. She could only wait for him to calm down, and continue to bathe the remaining cubs while the sun was shining.
Long Yu and Long Xiu were much more stable and cooperated very well during the bath. After a while, Foxy Jiaojiao poured two more basins of black water and cut the two cubs into neat and handsome short hair.
Long Yao, who had not had a turn, was a little anxious and kept calling out in a baby voice, fearing that Foxy Jiaojiao would forget about him.
Foxy Jiaojiao gave the little guy another bath and tied a flower-dotted bow on him.
The little guy got the bow and got so excited that he crawled into Foxy Jiaojiao's arms, making Foxy Jiaojiao laugh.
But in her heart, she was always worried about Long Zhong's abnormality.
Long Xiu stood behind Hu Jiaojiao without knowing when, and his cold and indifferent voice sounded faintly, "When the third child was five years old, he had just transformed and could not control his body skillfully. You asked the eldest brother to find food, and before the eldest brother came back, you asked the third child to light a fire and cook food..."
After hearing Long Xiu's words, Hu Jiaojiao frowned, and had a bad premonition in her heart.
She didn't have time to think about it, and asked hurriedly, "Then what?"
As soon as she said this, Hu Jiaojiao realized that her reaction was too emotional, so she explained softly,
"Xiu Xiu, actually after my head was hit last time, I can't remember much about your childhood."
Long Xiu was slightly stunned, as if he had just thought of this possibility, pursed his lips, and revealed a cold and self-deprecating smile, like ice in winter.
"Then? Ha..."
"The third child had no choice but to do as he was told and started a fire. However, he accidentally fell into the fire while grilling meat and burned half of his face. Not only did you not save the third child, you also scolded him for dirtying the meat."
"I heard from the beasts in the tribe that the third child used to be the most handsome and loved to show off by the river. Since then, he has always covered his face with his hair and never smiled again. If you cut his hair, it will undoubtedly kill him."
After hearing what Long Xiu said, Hu Jiaojiao was shocked and her chest felt heavy as if it was blocked by a huge rock.
No wonder Long Zhong hates himself the most among these cubs...
No wonder he always speaks ill of himself.
It turns out that it was his original body that disfigured him!
It was hard for Hu Jiaojiao to imagine how painful it was for a five-year-old cub to have his face burned by fire, but what was even more painful was the insults and indifference from the original body. Her
nose felt sour, and she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Long Xiu anxiously, "Then your eyes..."
