"They are probably new immigrants," Zhu Yuanyuan guessed. "I heard that they left the unit this morning. I heard some of this in the afternoon when I was helping to treat the wounds of the lightly injured soldiers. Later, I was in a hurry to make dinner for Master, so I didn't hear the whole process.

Fortunately, everyone's strength has improved greatly in recent years, and the hunting team members who encountered the mutant wolf pack were only injured but not killed.

Bai Shi pondered and said, "Tomorrow the leader will organize people to round up and expel the mutant wolves."

The meat of mutant wolves is not tasty, and no one would think of attacking the wolf pack unless it is necessary, but it is not a good thing for the wolf pack to be too close to the tribe.

"Wait a minute, I told my master that I would go into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow," Zhu Yuanyuan said a little nervously.

Bai Shi immediately objected, "No, it's too dangerous. You have to wait until the wolves are driven away before you can go collect herbs."

"But I promised yesterday to go today, but I couldn't go today and then I said I would go tomorrow. If I change my mind again, will Master expel me?" Zhu Yuanyuan was worried.

"You don't want to be lazy, it's just that there is a pack of mutant wolves near the tribe and you can't go. Master can understand that," Bai Shi said.

There was nothing wrong with this, and Zhu Yuanyuan was convinced. "Then I'll go talk to Master tomorrow morning."

He let Xiaoyi out to take care of the two cubs, then sat cross-legged and began to practice martial arts.

Pregnancy has slowed down her progress in practicing. No, she has to catch up while no one is home at night.

The next day after breakfast, Bai Shi went out first, while Zhu Yuanyuan waited for Zhu Xiaofen to arrive before leaving. She ran to the master and smiled sweetly, "Master~"

"Why are you still in the tribe?" Hu Yin's brows were furrowed so tightly that they were almost knotted.

"Hey, Master, it's not like you don't know that there are mutant wolves near the tribe," Zhu Yuanyuan said angrily, "Are you asking me to go collect herbs at this time because you want to change your disciple?"

Hu Yin was stunned, thinking of the orcs who were bitten and scratched by the wolves yesterday, "It turned out that we encountered them near the tribe."

He was busy treating the seriously injured and didn't ask where he met them.

"It's because we're close. Brother Shi said the leader will gather people to encircle and suppress the rebellion. I can only go into the mountains to collect herbs after everything is done," Zhu Yuanyuan said truthfully.

Hu Yin nodded and said, "He's right. Going there knowing there's danger is not bravery, it's stupidity."

"Yes," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded desperately to show her agreement, "I am a smart person, I won't do anything stupid, but I will inconvenience Master to wait a few more days."

"You've already waited for several months, are you afraid of waiting a few more days?" Hu Yin rolled his eyes at his apprentice.

"Master is so nice," Zhu Yuanyuan gave a thumbs up and praised generously, "Even the roll of his eyes is pretty."

Hu Yin smiled coldly, "I learned it from you."

Zhu Yuanyuan: “…” Even if you are a master, you can’t wrongly accuse me like this!

But she was too timid to argue and could only stand there with her neck stiff and sulking.

"What are you still standing here for?" Hu Yin glared, "Go grind the medicine powder. We used up a lot of hemostatic powder yesterday. The herbs are at Tu Yuan's place."

"Oh," Zhu Yuanyuan pouted and went to the main room.

Manually grinding medicinal powder is hard work, but fortunately there are many people and everyone works together. She didn't get much medicinal materials, so she finished the work quickly and went into the kitchen to make lunch.

I'm in a bad mood today, so I'll stew a pot of wild boar meat, cook some carrot and pork ribs soup, and pick some big sweet potatoes to bury in the stove. That's it.

While waiting, I remembered that I had not told my mother not to cook lunch, so I hurried home and brought a large piece of wild boar meat and five large sweet potatoes.

You promised to bring your own portion of ingredients for your mother, so don’t forget to take it.

Tu Yuan, who was sitting by the door grinding medicine powder, asked curiously, "Yuan Yuan, where did you get the wild boar meat?"

"Of course my family brought it," Zhu Yuanyuan replied, "My mother was busy helping me take care of the cubs and had no time to make lunch, so Master agreed to let me bring the meat to cook together."

Tu Yuan laughed, "Why bother with that? Just bring back less meat tonight."

Zhu Yuanyuan thought it made sense. Why didn’t she think of it?

However, it was always difficult to admit that she was not smart enough, so she could only rack her brains to come up with a random excuse, "I have to let everyone know, so that some people don't think that I use my master's things to support my family."

Hu Yun, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, instantly got furious, "Why don't you just call my name!"

"Did I say you?" Zhu Yuanyuan said innocently, "I was talking about the bad guy who always makes trouble for me."

Hu Yun was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she didn't dare to say anything. Deliberately causing trouble was one thing, but admitting it was another. She was afraid of being driven away by the witch.

The last guy who was driven away is in a miserable situation now. He is not wanted by the herb-collecting team or the hunting team. He was ostracized when he joined the gathering team and can only go to open up wasteland and farm. He has no experience, so the crops he grows are sparse. He also has to compete with half-grown cubs for rabbits and pheasants.

Fortunately, she is a female and has a strong and powerful partner, so she would never fall to such a point.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt confident enough to challenge Little Witch.

Hu Yun was eager to try, but before he could fight back, Zhu Yuanyuan had already entered the kitchen. He immediately lost his temper, "Really? Can't you walk slower?"

She must seize the opportunity next time.

Zhu Yuanyuan didn't care about other people's thoughts. After lunch was cooked, she served a separate portion and went to call her master to eat. After they finished eating and cleaned up the dishes, she sent the remaining portion back home to her mother.

The weather was hot, but the food was still warm. Zhu Xiaofen washed her hands and sat at the table to eat. While eating, she praised, "Yuanyuan's stewed meat is getting more and more delicious."

"It's delicious. Come home and have dinner with me tonight," Zhu Yuanyuan invited enthusiastically.

"No," Zhu Xiaofen refused, "I have to make dinner for your father."

Zhu Yuanyuan asked angrily, "Will I be missing my father?"

"But he only likes what I do," Zhu Xiaofen said a little shyly.

Zhu Yuanyuan felt like she was forced to eat a big bowl of dog food and couldn't help but burp loudly.

"Look at you," Zhu Xiaofen's expression changed in an instant, and she scolded with disgust, "No matter how delicious the meat is, you have to eat it slowly. It's so embarrassing to eat too much."

"I understand," Zhu Yuanyuan agreed with a wry smile.

She wanted to explain, but she couldn't. If she said something that her mother wouldn't understand, she would probably get beaten.

No resistance, just the beating.

Zhu Xiaofen nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's go see if Xiaori and Xiaoye are awake?"

"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan responded obediently, and quickly entered the bedroom. She went to the cradle to take a look, then turned around and shouted outside, "Mother, they're not awake yet!"

"Wow--"

The two cubs were awakened and performed a duet.

Zhu Xiaofen rushed in with chopsticks in her right hand. "I'm dying. Why did you wake them up so loudly?"

With his free left hand, he slapped Zhu Yuanyuan hard on the back, causing her to grimace in pain. "Ah~ Mother, be gentle, I didn't mean it."

"It wasn't intentional and it turned out like this. What would have happened if it was intentional?" Zhu Xiaofen said with a straight face.

Zhu Yuanyuan quickly picked up Xiaori to act as a shield, "Mother, don't worry about other things for now, the important thing is to comfort the two kids."
