Feeling the indifference and defensiveness in Long Yu's eyes, Hu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly.
She handed him the towel and said in a negotiating tone, "Then you wipe it yourself, okay? Mom will go and wipe your younger brothers and sisters."
Long Yu was silent for a while, took the towel, and always kept a distance of three meters from her.
Long Zhong pulled Long Xiu, with the same attitude as Long Yu, unwilling to get close to Hu Jiaojiao.
Hu Jiaojiao has no advantages, but she is patient.
Several cubs were covered in dust, but they were injured, so it was not good for them to go down to the river to take a bath. She gave them towels to wipe themselves, and then turned to look at Long Ling'er and Long Yao.
"Ling'er, Yao'er, come here."
She waved her hand. Long Ling'er was still hesitating, but Long Yao had already twisted his little body to her feet.
Foxy Jiaojiao was somewhat relieved that finally a cub was willing to get close to her.
She picked up Long Yao and helped him wipe the blood off his body.
As soon as he finished wiping, Long Yao used the small bump on his head to touch her hand. That was his dragon horn that had not grown out yet.
His mouth opened and closed, and he stuck out his pink tongue to lick the edge of his mouth, and his baby voice continued, "Ha, ha~"
Foxy Jiaojiao instantly understood what he meant.
"Are you hungry, Yao'er? Be good. Mother will go cook after you wipe Ling'er's wounds."
No wonder the little guy was willing to get close to her, it turned out he was hungry and was looking for food!
The orc cubs that have not yet transformed have an intelligence level of no more than three years old. They only have the instinct to eat and their cognition of the outside world is also limited.
Long Yao only knew that if he followed Hu Jiaojiao, he would have food.
Hearing that there was food, Long Ling'er also behaved very well and obediently let Hu Jiaojiao wipe her wounds.
Seeing that the wounds of the cubs were wiped clean, Hu Jiaojiao took back the towel and reminded them, "Don't let the wounds touch water anymore. Mother will cook for you now."
She went into the house with a blood-stained towel.
The cubs slept in the open and had hardly eaten enough. Fox Jiaojiao was afraid that they had eaten too much yesterday and had difficulty digesting it, so she picked out two pieces of lean meat and a bag of rice and prepared to cook a pot of lean meat porridge.
When taking out the food from the space, Fox Jiaojiao remembered that she was in a hurry to cook for the cubs yesterday and had never thought about how to explain to them the origins of these things.
However, she didn't let the cubs enter the house before, so it was normal to hide some things in the house.
She would say that it was sent by her mother's family.
Anyway, the original family often sent things to support her.
Yeah! That's the explanation!
After thinking of a reason, Fox Jiaojiao went out with the meat and rice.
But they saw Long Yu and Long Zhong carrying heavy stone buckets, their thin bodies staggering into the yard.
With every step, some water in the stone buckets spilled out.
Hu Jiaojiao was startled, and quickly put down the things in her hands, walked over quickly, and snatched the stone buckets from the two cubs.
How can such a small cub do such a heavy job!
Long Yu and Long Zhong saw Hu Jiaojiao's serious face, and they shuddered suddenly.
She was angry!
"We are wrong, I can fill the water tank right away, don't be angry, I'll go get it now." Long Yu hurriedly admitted his mistake, fearing that Hu Jiaojiao would be angry.
Seeing Long Yu's terrified look, Hu Jiaojiao was stunned. She
quickly realized that her original body let the children do all the work. If they did something they were not satisfied with, they would be beaten. Filling the water tank was probably also the children's task.
She relaxed her eyebrows, pressed Long Yu's shoulders, and said seriously, "I will fetch water in the future. You can go play and wait for dinner."
After these words came out, the two children's eyes became more panicked.
"Don't throw Long Xiu and Long Yao into the forest. I can still work. I can do whatever you want me to do!"
Long Yu gritted his teeth, and his tender eyes were full of pleading.
"Why should I throw you into the forest?" Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Yu in confusion.
She suddenly remembered that her original self despised Long Xiu for being blind and Long Yao for being useless creatures who could not work, so she often threatened to throw them into the forest to feed the wild animals.
Long Yu was willing to help her original self for the sake of her brother.
Thinking of this, Foxy Jiaojiao felt overwhelmed.
Her original self was really bad at everything except digging holes!
She took a deep breath and tried to act amiable, "Yu'er, don't worry, you are all my children. I will not throw you into the forest. I will do these jobs and take care of you in the future."
Long Yu's dark little face was tense. He looked at Foxy Jiaojiao's face suspiciously without answering.
Long Zhong pursed his lips tightly and turned his head away, ignoring her nonsense.
Foxy Jiaojiao looked helplessly at the other kids.
Long Xiu stood in the corner, one hand on the wall, his empty eyes looking at her, but his eyes were covered with a layer of white mist and unfocused.
Long Ling'er stood beside him, blocking Long Yao behind him, holding a thick wooden stick in her hand, her little face full of vigilance.
She felt that if she didn't let the kids do any work, they would definitely feel uneasy.
Then she pointed to the pile of firewood beside Long Ling'er and said, "Then you go and help Ling'er pick up the firewood. Mother will start cooking after fetching water."
The neatly stacked firewood in the yard was knocked over by Xiong Hua, and Hu Jiaojiao had not had time to clean it up.
Picking wood is much easier than stone buckets, and it won't be too hard for the cubs to do it.
"Okay." Long Yu nodded and took Long Zhong to help.
He didn't dare to disobey the orders of the vicious female. They had to do whatever she told them to do.
Looking at the cubs' actions, Hu Jiaojiao sighed.
These cubs were too deeply poisoned by the original body. The orcs themselves were precocious, and the vicious image of the original body was deeply rooted. It would be impossible to change their views in the short term.
What a sin!
It's too difficult to whitewash!
After fetching water, the children had already piled the firewood neatly again.
She quickly started a fire, washed rice, cut meat and cooked porridge.
Beastmen have big appetites, and Foxy Jiaojiao has to cook for six beastmen in one meal. She has to exercise a lot, and her hands and feet have hardly stopped.
Several cubs stood in the corner, looking at Foxy Jiaojiao indifferently, with a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
The vicious female is so diligent?
In the past, she always lay in bed and ordered them to work and find food, and never cooked.
Long Ling'er saw Foxy Jiaojiao cutting meat with a silver thing she had never seen before. She hesitated for a moment and walked over, "Mom, let me help you."
It turns out that a daughter is a mother's intimate little cotton-padded jacket!
It seems that Ling'er still loves her.
"Okay, Ling'er, help me add firewood." Foxy nodded with a smile, not feeling tired anymore.
Long Ling'er also smiled shyly, squatted in front of the stove, and stuffed firewood into it.
Two dark little eyes rolled around in the corner where Foxy couldn't see. She thought: There are only two pieces of lean meat in total, and the vicious female cut the meat so thinly, definitely not wanting to give it to them.
She got closer, so that if the vicious female secretly poisoned it, she would be able to find it in the first time.
