The beasts left in a hurry, and their disappearance in the blink of an eye made Liuzi and his companions feel as if it was just a nightmare.
"Cannon, go in and drag the roe deer out. You guys go in and clean up."
Ren Jingxiao acted as if nothing had happened and felt that those things were not worth mentioning to him. He looked at the few people who were still in a daze and said.
Liuzi and the others listened to the instructions in confusion and watched a group of tigers drag the roe deer out of the cave. They went in and cleaned up the bloodstains.
They worked stiffly, and only came to their senses when Ren Jingxiao brought someone in.
They were saved, it was Ren Jingxiao who saved them.
Ren Jingxiao looked carefully in the cave. The blood was buried in the soil and the smell was no longer pungent. Then he revealed Xia Xia's covered face.
"Sit down. Those beasts won't come back. I'm here. What are you afraid of?"
Ren Jingxiao found a clean stone and sat down, holding Ningxia in his arms.
Several people had slept on that kang, so there was no way he could put Xia Xia on it.
When Ningxia came over, Ren Jingxiao covered her face, and only then did she see Liang.
She closed her eyes, then opened them again to adjust herself before looking at Liuzi and the others.
She had an ordinary appearance, and she thought that after being scared by Ren Jingxiao, she would not have the courage to go against them in the future.
Liuzi and the others were stunned for a moment when they saw Ningxia's expression, but they quickly realized that this person was brought in by Ren Jingxiao, and this was not something they could see.
"Did you do something wrong? This is the cannon's territory, why would a group of wild beasts attack you?"
Ren Jingxiao pretended to know nothing and looked at them with confusion.
"We didn't know, we didn't do anything, we were just getting ready for bed when a herd of roe deer rushed in. We had just finished dealing with them when the beasts came over."
When they heard Ren Jingxiao ask this, they hurriedly explained, fearing that Ren Jingxiao would think they were disobedient and would ignore them in the future.
"Roe deer? They probably wandered in by mistake. You must have killed a roe deer, and the bloody smell must have attracted the beasts!"
Ren Jingxiao had already found an excuse and continued to talk along with them.
"Will they come again in the future..." Liuzi's meaning was very clear. He was afraid that they would come again, and Ren Jingxiao would not be able to save them every time.
"No, they don't know you are mine. I will make an agreement with them. The tigers will protect you."
Ren Jingxiao's implication was that they had to be his people first.
Several people looked at Ren Jingxiao with envy, not knowing how to express their loyalty. He had saved their lives, and whatever he said from now on was theirs.
Ren Jingxiao could understand their worries, they were afraid that he would ignore them.
They didn't know that this cave was the territory of the cannon, and no wild beasts would dare to come here.
They were safe without him, and this time he had deliberately lured the beasts here.
Even if he is not around in the future, they will always be safe as long as they do not leave the cannon's territory.
As for the tigers, they were left to protect Xia Xia. At most, after a while, the cannons would come back to scare away other wild beasts.
"We will definitely not cause any trouble for you. Do those things you said still count?"
Ren Jingxiao didn't need to say anything now, they were just afraid that Ren Jingxiao would find them troublesome and abandon them.
They have no home in this mountain and have been hiding all day long. Now they finally have a home, but they cannot survive without Ren Jingxiao's protection.
If they went to the brigade, they would not be able to survive because of the xenophobic people there. They felt that in this big world, there was no place for them to stay.
"As long as you have no second thoughts, my words will count. I even brought you some food."
At a whistle from Ren Jingxiao, Dapao came over dragging a bag of grain.
Give him a sweet date after a beating, this is what Xia Xia taught him before.
These people were scared by him this time. At least they can only rely on him during this period of time. As for the future, they will take it slowly.
Liuzi and his friends looked at the bag of cornmeal and didn't expect that he was here to bring them food.
In their hearts, at this moment, Ren Jingxiao is their boss, and in the future he will be their real brother.
"Here's a packet of seeds. Come here and I'll teach you how to plant them."
Ren Jingxiao felt a little uncomfortable seeing their moved looks, so he put Xia Xia on the back of the cannon and called those people over.
Several people calmed down and became more energetic when seeing Ren Jingxiao talking about serious matters. They decided to plant the crops well and let Brother Ren know that they were useful.
Ren Jingxiao told them the planting methods he knew and took them to a hot spring not far away.
He didn't know whether it was suitable to grow medicinal herbs now, but he wanted to give it a try first, just as a test for these people.
"I also have a book on growing medicinal herbs. Do you know how to read?" Ren Jingxiao did not give them his book.
Xia Xia said that it was an ancient book and many of the things in it were lost. Ren Jingxiao always felt that this book would be useful to him in the future.
What he gave them was something he picked up from Uncle Hu. It was just some precautions for growing medicinal herbs. It was enough for them to understand the book.
"I know a little bit. I've been to the second grade." Liuzi looked at the others. He was the only one among them who could read.
When his parents were still alive, he was the youngest in the family. His parents loved him and sent him to school.
But he didn't like studying, so he stopped after two years. Knowing how to read was useless, and he didn't need it for hunting or farming.
Now let Jingxiao ask this, he knows how to do it, but his other brothers don’t, what should he do?
"That's all you need to know. These are some books on planting. Just as long as you can understand what I just said and what's written in this book, it's fine. If there's anything you don't understand, just study it yourself."
"It's cold now, so I won't come too often. If you have any problems, just find a way to solve them yourself. If you're not suited to this job, I can't keep you around for nothing. I'll come check on you later. You don't have to be afraid, as long as the tigers are here."
"Pickle the roe deer meat and save the grain. You'll have no problem getting through the winter. As for the rest, there's no shortage of firewood in the mountains, so you won't freeze."
Ren Jingxiao explained everything that needed to be explained. Now it was not him who was begging them to plant, but they had to behave well in order to survive.
"Brother Ren, don't worry. We grew up in this mountain and know a little about the habits of these medicinal herbs. We will definitely grow them well."
After hearing Jing Xiao's words, several people hurriedly made a promise.
They all knew about medicinal herbs, and considering what Ren Jingxiao said, they were confident that they could grow them well and would definitely not let Ren Jingxiao down.
Seeing how frightened these people were, Ren Jingxiao stopped trying to scare them and went back with Ningxia in his arms.
"You scared those people..." Ningxia looked at Ren Jingxiao with a smile on his face.
