Why did it turn red?

She asked, "Xingchen, did you take the wrong scarf?"

Xingchen fondly touched one end of the scarf: "Nono told us to find it ourselves, so I found three and picked the one I liked in the color I wore, so I didn't take more."

"Do you think this color looks good on me?"

People with fair skin look very good in a red scarf, as the red color can well set off the fair skin tone and make it look more radiant.

People with yellowish skin can also wear a red scarf to make their skin look whiter.

"nice."

It looks good, but this color is reserved for Yan Yi and Yan Ye, while black is reserved for Xing Chen.

Chu Xingnuo always thought that Xingchen liked the color of the animal's body, and never dreamed that the big black snake would like the flashy red.

Xingchen: "I think it suits me."

Chu Xingnuo just nodded and didn't say anything. As long as he liked it, it was fine.

After taking a few sips of porridge, he asked, "What colors are the scarves you got?"

Qian Li: "White and black."

Nan Xi: “White.”

Chu Xingnuo nodded in understanding, they did not take the wrong thing.

Xiao Qinglong: "We don't have any?"

Chu Xingnuo looked puzzled. They had clearly released enough fish last night, so how come two males were missing?

Long Ze met her puzzled look and explained, "Not only the two of us don't have it, Lan He, Wen Ci, and Yan Yi don't have it either."

"I don't know who found and took away all the scarves ahead of time. We found an opportunity."

Chu Xingnou uttered a big word.

Who on earth is so bored that he takes away five scarves at once? He is trying to wrap his neck into a knot!

Qian Li opened his lips slightly, his eyes sincere: "It's not me."

Chu Xingnuo certainly knew it wasn’t him, Qian Li wouldn’t be so bored.

Xingchen also cleared himself of suspicion: "The two I found belonged to Qianli and Nanxi."

Nan Xi nodded to prove the truthfulness of what Xingchen said.

Chu Xingnuo raised his head and drank the porridge in one breath, then pulled a few males in the family to look for clues.

Qianli did not join them, as he went to the river to wash the animal skins he had just changed, and the cub followed him.

The tree hole was searched thoroughly, but no clues were found. The places where the scarf was hidden were already empty.

Chu Xingnuo is very strange.

Fengyue came to see her, but Chu Xingnuo was not in the mood to chat, so Xingchen suggested that they go out for a walk.

It's not snowing outside today. Instead, the sun is shining brightly and the piled snow is showing signs of melting.

Feng Yue started chatting with Chu Xingnuo about things between the cubs, and then the conversation turned to Feng Yu.

"Hey, did you know? Feng Yu was sent out to exchange salt and he is back today."

Chu Xingnuo's mind was full of the lost scarf, and he shook his head perfunctorily.

Feng Yue: "Well, tell me, if Feng Yu knew that Bage lost the battle for the position of clan leader, would he go find Feng Lin to fight?"

"Feng Yu is not a competitive person, and he doesn't necessarily care about the position of tribe leader. Other orcs are also not interested in that troublesome position. When the time comes next year, Feng Lin will be the tribe leader."

"Will you stay in the Phoenix Clan forever?"

Chu Xingnuo listened to Fengyue's words and replied after a moment of silence: "I don't want to stay in one tribe for too long. I like to travel around. I may leave after the winter season."

Feng Yue took Chu Xingnuo's arm. Although Chu Xingnuo hadn't left yet, her eyes showed reluctance to leave: "Isn't it good to stay in the Phoenix Clan? Why do you want to leave? The old clan leader, I, and everyone else like you very much."

Chu Xingnuo narrowed his eyes and smiled at her: "The Phoenix Clan is very good, and I am very happy living here. I just said that I might leave, not that I must leave."

When the weather gets warmer, many females go out for walks together. When they hear Feng Yue's words, they gather around and ask Feng Yu if he has really returned after changing salt.

Salt is vital to shapeshifting orcs and must be consumed every day.

As soon as the females gathered around, Chu Xingnuo was pulled aside by Xingchen, protecting her belly.

When I looked again, Feng Yue was completely surrounded by females. I could only hear his voice but not see him.

After Feng Yue made repeated assurances to the females, she came out of the encirclement and found that Chu Xingnuo was no longer nearby.

……

Chu Xingnuo and Xingchen walked around the tribe and came to the only water source of the Phoenix tribe.

Qianli was not there. He must have gone back after washing the animal skins. Instead, the two males who went out hunting were cleaning the prey by the water.

Noticing Chu Xingnuo approaching, Qing Mo dropped the prey in his hand, stood up, and shook off the water droplets on his hands.

"Sister, please don't go over there. The river is muddy and it's easy to fall."

Chu Xingnuo raised his hand to adjust his scarf: "I won't go over. I'll just stand here and talk to you. After you finish dealing with the prey, hurry back to the tree hole. Chuyi will cry easily if he can't see you for a long time."

"You like black. I thought you would like lighter colors. Are you used to wearing a scarf?"

Qing Mo: "I am used to wearing all the ones my sister gave me. This one is very comfortable to wear and my neck won't feel cold anymore."

Chu Xingnuo: "If you are afraid of the cold, wear your gauze dress properly and don't expose so much."

Qing Mo smiled and tightened his gauze dress. Chu Xingnuo's concern made him feel warm in his heart.

After Yan Ye cleaned the prey, he shouted to them, "Remember to take these prey back when you go back. I'll go to their place to see how many prey they have caught."

Qing Mo responded: "Got it."

Chu Xingnuo then saw clearly that Yan Ye was wearing a yellow scarf and she had just raised her hand.

Yan Ye held one end of the scarf, waved it at her with a smile, and disappeared on the spot.

She found that she didn't understand the males' preference for colors at all. The males didn't like the ones she thought were suitable, but instead liked the ones she thought were inappropriate.

Qing Mo brought the prey over one by one, put them all into the space, and then took them out again when she returned to the tree hole.

The males began to divide the work and get busy.

Long Ze and Qian Li took the prey, one cut it up and the other chopped the meat, Xiao Qinglong rubbed salt on the meat, Nan Xi took out the soaked sausage casings and prepared for enema, Xingchen still stayed with Chu Xingnuo, Qing Mo went to take care of Ruanruan and Chuyi.

Wen Xinning and Qian Yu helped to hang the meat out. Since they were not tall enough, they used wooden stools and stacked monks to make up for it.

As soon as Fengyu came over, he saw a small rack in front of the tree hole. Two little ones were staggeringly hanging prey on the rack. He took a step with his long legs and went over to help.

Qianyu's hands felt lighter and he politely thanked Fengyu for his help.

Fengyu rubbed Qianyu's little head, smiled at him softly, and helped the cub hang the remaining pieces of meat.

Qian Yu held the empty basin in his small body and put it back on the table: "Mother, Uncle Fengyu is here. He just helped me hang the meat."

Feng Yu followed Qian Yu in, holding a small animal skin bag in his hand and said, "The tribe leader asked me to distribute salt to the tribe members. You are considered orcs of the Phoenix tribe because you live in the tribe. These are your family's share."

Xingchen took the animal skin bag, opened it and saw that the surface of the salt was very clean. He grabbed some and spread it on his palm to examine it. He found that the salt was as clean and free of impurities as the one Yan Ye brought back from the little mermaid every time.

Upon hearing this, several busy males raised their heads to look towards Fengyu, then quickly looked away and continued with what they were doing.

Chu Xingno smiled politely at Fengyu and was about to express his gratitude when he heard Xingchen say, "The clan leader asked you to distribute salt, so you must be very busy. We won't keep you here."

Chu Xingno: "..."

He looked at Xingchen in disbelief, and secretly pulled Xingchen's black gauze dress where Fengyu couldn't see.

When Xingchen turned his gaze away, Chu Xingno looked at him and asked him what was going on. Why did he blatantly chase someone away just when they had just delivered something to him?
