Lu Cuicui was speechless. She

was angry in her heart. How could this foxy girl become so sharp-tongued?

Lu Mian'er scolded in a deep voice, "Foxy girl, that's enough. Cuicui was just careless."

"Okay!" The clan leader came out with a sullen

face and interrupted their conversation. Foxy girl looked calm and showed no fear at all.

The clan leader glanced at them and his eyes fell on the crushed earth fruit. There were still scattered earth fruits on the ground. He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"Lu Cuicui, you stepped on the rotten earth fruit, and these foods will be deducted from your share in winter."

"From now on, each of you will dig your own earth fruit, and you are not allowed to help each other privately, and you are not allowed to destroy food again!"

The clan leader originally had a stern face, and his expression became even more stern.

Lu Cuicui was dissatisfied, but she did not dare to refute.

Hu Jing had a strong temper and immediately felt indignant for Lu Cuicui, "Clan leader, it is true that Lu Cuicui stepped on the rotten earth fruit, but Hu Jiaojiao beat Lu Cuicui, and you haven't said how to punish Hu Jiaojiao for this matter!"

Hu Jiaojiao looked at Hu Jing.

This Hu Niu is really kindhearted. She helped her best friend Lu Mian'er and Lu Cuicui, and in the end she even lost her life.

I really don't know whether to say she is stupid or naive.

After this, the females also looked at the clan leader. They all disliked Hu Jiaojiao, so they naturally hoped that Hu Jiaojiao would be punished.

The clan leader closed his eyes with a headache, moistened his dry eyes, and then looked at Hu Min behind Hu Jiaojiao.

His eyes fell on her arm which was pinched with a circle of red marks. "Lu Cuicui deliberately hurt Hu Min, and Hu Jiaojiao was just protecting Hu Min. Why punish her?"

Hu Jiaojiao's skin was as white as snow, which was inherited from Hu Min's genes. Although she was almost forty years old, Hu Min's skin was still white and shiny, and it would turn red if pinched lightly.

He had been the patriarch for more than ten years, how could he not notice such a small detail.

If she really just wanted to help, why did Lu Cuicui pinch Hu Min's arm so hard?

Hu Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

I didn't expect the patriarch to be quite smart, not as stubborn and confused as described in the book.

Because Hu Jiaojiao pushed away in time, Hu Min didn't realize Lu Cuicui's intention at all. When she heard the words of the clan leader, she turned around and dug in the bushes, and indeed saw a big stone.

She felt a chill on her back. If she really bumped into it, her head would be broken.

Hu Min's face was dark, and she said angrily, "Lu Cuicui, how can you be so vicious? How did I offend you? You want to kill me!"

"Thanks to my Jiaojiao for finding it in time, otherwise I would be a corpse now."

When she thought of this, she shuddered.

The females around saw the stone and were immediately shocked. They didn't expect Lu Cuicui to be so vicious. They almost believed her!

If the clan leader hadn't found this, the next time someone's head was broken, it might be one of them.

Lu Mian'er and Hu Jing also looked at Lu Cuicui in disbelief, "Cuicui, are you really..."

"No, I didn't..." Lu Cuicui shook her head in panic.

But even if she had a million mouths to explain, no one would believe her anymore.

"Lu Cuicui, the tribe will no longer distribute food to you in winter. When you go back, find a partner as soon as possible, and you don't have to join the picking team in the future." The tribe leader announced solemnly.

He wanted to wait until he returned to the tribe and then talk to Lu Cuicui alone, but Hu Jing asked questions, so he could only announce his decision in public.

Lu Cuicui's face turned pale and she fell to the ground.

If she was not given food, how would she survive in winter? There was no male in the tribe who could compare to Brother Yingyuan, so she didn't want to mate with those wastes.

She wanted to beg for mercy, but the tribe leader waved his hand and said coldly, "Okay, this is the end of it. If you do it again, you will be expelled from the tribe. Hurry up and dig up the earth fruit!"

The females dispersed one after another, and no one wanted to get close to Lu Cuicui again.

Lu Mian'er hesitated and stretched out her hand, wanting to help Lu Cuicui up, but was pulled away by Hu Jing.

Hu Jing pouted with a gloomy face, "Why do you care about what she does? I didn't expect her to be such a female. She is not much better than Hu Jiaojiao. It's really dog ​​biting dog. She deserves it."

The voice was not concealed at all, and Hu Jiaojiao heard it clearly.

She looked calm, turned around and smiled as if nothing had happened, "Mom, let's continue digging the earth fruits."

Hu Min was so angry that she wanted to curse back, but when she saw Hu Jiaojiao's soft and sweet smile, her heart softened immediately and she nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go dig the earth fruits."

For Jiaojiao's sake, I won't bother with them today.

At noon, the sun was scorching.

The females were not as energetic as the males, and they all hid under the trees to rest.

After digging potatoes for a whole morning, the females were dry-mouthed and too tired to talk.

Hu Jiaojiao saw that Hu Min's face was flushed and she was about to be dehydrated from the heat. She used the excuse of relieving herself and walked to a deserted place. She took out two tender pears from the space, put them in her arms and went back.

"Mom, I just picked up two fruits nearby, you can have them."

Although they could not take all the fruits they picked for themselves, they could eat the fruits they picked in moderation outside the tribe.

The females were all enjoying the cool under a tree. Seeing the fruits in Hu Jiaojiao's hand, they all cast envious glances at her.

"There are only wild fruits around here. She was so lucky to pick such juicy fruits."

"I also want to eat fruits to quench my thirst..."

Hu Jing snorted coldly, "It's just a fruit you picked up. What's so great about it? You act like you've never eaten it before."

Hu Jiaojiao ignored the females and handed the pear to Hu Min.

Hu Min was a little surprised, but then waved her hand, "You eat it. Mom doesn't want to eat it."

As a mother, she always wants to save all the good things for her cubs.

"Mom, there are two, let's have one each." Hu Jiaojiao knew what Hu Min was thinking, so she fed the pear directly to her mouth, "If mom doesn't want to eat it, then I won't eat it either."

Hu Min looked helpless and had to take a bite.

"Hmm! So sweet, how come this fruit is so delicious? Where did you pick it? Mom will go see if I can pick some too."

After taking a bite, Hu Min's eyes lit up a little and he asked hurriedly.

The females beside him also pricked up their ears, wanting to know where the fruit was picked from.

Hu Jiaojiao sat down beside him, chewing on a pear, and answered nonsensically, "No more, it should be dropped by wild animals eating grass, I only saw these two."

Hu Min and the females beside him showed regretful expressions.

"It's a pity, such delicious fruits, I don't know where they grow."

Hu Jiaojiao smiled and said nothing.

It is not safe outside the tribe, and wild animals may appear at any time, so the females dare not leave the team without permission to look for fruits that can quench their thirst.

After one person chewed a muddy fruit, his thirst was slightly quenched, and he leaned against a tree to rest.

Fox Jiaojiao looked around, found the tribe leader, stood up and walked over.

"Tribal leader, I want to discuss something with you."
