The book only mentions that one of the original body's cubs was disfigured and one was blind, but it doesn't say how it happened.

What Hu Jiaojiao didn't expect was that the injury on Long Zhong's face was caused by the original body, so would Long Xiu's eyes also be...

Long Xiu knew what Hu Jiaojiao wanted to ask, and quickly dispelled her speculation, "My eyes are natural, and have nothing to do with you."

"Xiu Xiu..." Hu Jiaojiao frowned, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Long Xiu is the most thoughtful of the original body's five cubs, but also the loneliest. In the book, he has been planning for several cubs all his life, but he has never even seen what the person he protects looks like.

After finishing his words, Long Xiu turned around and walked towards the dark wooden house as usual, as if the endless darkness was his final destination.

"Xiu Xiu, mother will definitely find a way to cure your eyes and Zhong'er's face."

The coquettish voice made Long Xiu pause.

She continued in a firm voice, "I heard that witch doctors have the ability to bring orcs back to life. It may be possible to treat eyes and scars. Mother will definitely help you find a witch doctor!"

Long Xiu clenched her hands, and her childish voice was tinged with a bit of hoarseness, "We don't need your promise."

"Mother knows that she has done a lot of wrong things in the past. From now on, mother will not let anyone hurt you again. Believe me." The gentle and firm voice revealed a reassuring breath.

Long Xiu's heart stagnated, and then he walked away indifferently, "Anyone can say nice words."

Looking at Long Xiu's lonely back, Hu Jiaojiao became more determined in her thoughts.

Even if all the supplies in the space were unsealed, she was not a doctor and could not cure the eyes and faces of the two cubs, but she had read books and knew that the witch doctors here had this ability.

She remembered that Lu Mian'er and Yingyuan met the witch doctor in another large tribe after leaving the tribe. Since the witch doctor really exists, there is hope.

...

On the other side.

Hou Xiaotiao brought the meat home. His partner Hou Xiang was taking two little monkeys who had not yet transformed. They were sitting under the big locust tree in front of the door and talking to a group of females who also had cubs.

Seeing Hou Xiaotiao, Hou Xiang was surprised, "Hou Xiaotiao, why are you back so early?"

Usually, Hou Xiaotiao would not come back until after noon when he went out to hunt, and sometimes even until the evening.

Why did he come back today without going out for a while ?

"Xiang Xiang, I..."

Hou Xiaotiao was about to explain, but Hou Xiang suddenly saw the two big pieces of fat venison he was carrying, and immediately stood up with a smile on his face and went to greet him.

"How come you are so amazing today? You caught such a big prey this morning. Hou Xiaotiao, you are really capable."

Immediately, several females under the old locust tree cast envious glances at him. They

came back from catching prey early in the morning, and they didn't expect the male of Hou Xiang's family to be so amazing!

Hou Xiang diligently helped Hou Xiaotiao unload the meat.

But he didn't take it home immediately, but pretended to be embarrassed and smiled at the females under the old locust tree, almost smiling.

"My Hou Xiaotiao brought back some meat, you guys chat first, two such big pieces, I have to take them back first."

Anyone with a discerning eye could hear the intention of showing off.

Before he had time to explain, Hou Xiang had already taken the meat home.

Hou Xiaotiao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

It was getting late. If he didn't go to the forest to find Long Mo, he would not be able to come back before dark. He had no choice but to shout into the house, "Xiang Xiang, I'm going out."

Then he hurried to the forest, intending to come back and explain the origin of the meat to Hou Xiang.

Hou Xiang heard the sound, and when he put the meat away and came out, Hou Xiaotiao had disappeared.

With a smile on her face, she walked towards the old locust tree with a proud look on her face, muttering, "This little monkey Tiao, he is so diligent even though he has food, he left without taking a rest."

Under the old locust tree, there was a female who also came back with little monkey Tiao.

Seeing that Hou Xiang was showing off, she said in a sour tone, "What do you mean by prey? It was given to him by Hu Jiaojiao. Little monkey Tiao didn't even go out of the tribe to hunt today, and a certain female was still kept in the dark!"

Hearing this, several females beside him sighed.

"Doesn't Fox Jiaojiao like Yingyuan? Why is she so nice to Hou Xiaotiao all of a sudden?"

"She's probably hooking up with Hou Xiaotiao, right? Tsk tsk, Hou Xiang, you'd better keep a close eye on your Hou Xiaotiao. Don't let your cubs lose their father at a young age just for a few pieces of meat."

The females who were envious just now all smiled mockingly.

They thought Hou Xiaotiao was really that amazing, but it turns out that he hooked up with Fox Jiaojiao!

Hou Xiang's smile froze on her face.

The mocking voice reached her ears, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. With a dark face, she picked up the two monkey cubs and turned back to the house.

...

Outside the tribe, there are continuous mountains and forests.

The dense forest was damp and dark, with hardly any light coming through. It was difficult for beastmen to survive in such an environment.

Hou Xiaotiao carefully rushed to the depths of the mountain range and came to a dark cave.

He mustered up his courage and called out carefully, "Long Mo, are you in there? I, I am Hou Xiaotiao, I have something to tell you..."

Only his voice echoed in the cave.

He only knew that Long Mo lived in this cave all year round, and every time he and Long Mo took prey, he would come here to take it.

Long Mo always put the prey at the entrance of the cave in advance. Since leaving the tribe, he has never shown his face again. He has never seen Long Mo's appearance again and can't remember it clearly.

After getting no response for a long time, Hou Xiaotiao became a little anxious.

Long Mo, is there something wrong with him?

Thinking of Hu Jiaojiao and the five cubs, Hou Xiaotiao raised his voice and walked towards the cave entrance anxiously, "Long Mo, I am Hou Xiaotiao, why did you come in without saying anything?"

Before he stepped into the cave entrance, a low and hoarse voice suddenly came from inside.

"What's the matter?"

Hou Xiaotiao paused and stopped immediately. He didn't dare to go in. The cave entrance was too dark, as if it was isolated from the world, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

Although he was not afraid of the dark, every time he heard Long Mo's voice coming from inside, he felt a chilling coldness.

He shivered and quickly answered, "It was Hu Jiaojiao..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

Long Mo caught a lot of prey, and it was not easy for Hu Jiaojiao, a female, to raise cubs at home. If Long Mo could go back and help her take care of the cubs, she wouldn't have to live so hard.

Thinking of this, Hou Xiaotiao felt that he should help Hu Jiaojiao.

Just as a way to repay her for saving his life!

"Vulpine?" Long Mo's voice suddenly turned colder, and he asked in a sinister and impatient tone, "What happened to her?"

Seeing Long Mo's gloomy tone, Hou Xiaotiao knew that he had misunderstood, and shook his head quickly.

"No, no..."

As he said that, he remembered that Long Mo couldn't see him, and hurriedly explained, "Vulpine told me that next time she hopes you can personally send the prey back. She said... she misses you!"
