Xiu Ming's face turned even darker, and he glanced helplessly at Ji Nuan who was still sobbing.

Her voice was deep and revealed a little grievance: "Mother, I didn't bully the mountain boy. She cried because she heard about my brother's affairs."

Ge Rou raised her red and swollen eyes and looked carefully at the fair and clean little female cub in front of her. Sure enough, she saw the iconic white tiger tail behind her.

Although she was surprised that Ji Nuan had suddenly become so beautiful, Ge Rou was in no mood to care about it at the moment.

She came out of her male's arms, took Ji Nuan's little paw and walked into the cave: "Don't cry, your crying makes Auntie Rou even more sad."

Ji Nuan quickly raised her arm to wipe the tears from her face, the guilt in her eyes almost overflowing. She lowered her head and followed behind Ge Rou without saying a word.

Ge Rou pulled Ji Nuan to sit down on the animal skin and touched her head: "Aunt Rou knows what you are thinking, but Aunt Rou wants to tell you that this matter has nothing to do with you.

Xiu Yan encountered a group of sharp-toothed beasts. Even if he was not injured, it would be difficult for him to escape. You don't have to feel guilty.

Live your life well. The cold season is coming, so you should hurry up and store food. If you need any help, come and find Aunt Rou."

Ji Nuan clenched her skinny little paws tightly, her big eyes filled with tears, and she nodded silently.

She stood up, said goodbye to Ge Rou, Uncle Xiuli and Xiu Ming, and walked towards her cave with heavy steps.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Aunt Ge Rou's words were also to comfort her. If Xiu Yan had not been injured, he would have been able to escape. Even if he was injured, he would have no problem surviving.

She knew that this incident would be like a thorn in her heart and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

In the afternoon, Ji Nuan used the branches she had collected to weave a frame. This frame was not only more beautiful but also much stronger than the one she had left at the stinky fruit tree last time.

Carrying the new basket on her back, she looked at the high sun and walked step by step towards the grove not far from the tribe.

Life has to go on, doesn't it?

Before, Ji Nuan was the only one who came to the grove, but now she always runs into a few females and their partners who come here to catch cuckoo beasts.

After greeting each other, she carried her basket and walked towards the deeper part of the grass.

With more people catching them, these cackling beasts no longer stood there stupidly like before. When they saw Ji Nuan coming, they flapped their wings and ran away.

Ji Nuan walked cautiously, using the stick in her hand to push aside the grass in front of her with each step. She picked up the fist-sized cuckoo eggs and put them into the basket. There were a lot of cuckoo eggs in the deep grass, and she filled half the basket in a short while. She rubbed her aching waist and stood up.

I picked up the basket and turned around to collect some more fruits, but suddenly I heard a rustling sound coming from the grass on the left, as if something was crawling in it, and judging by the sound, it was coming from my direction.

Ji Nuan immediately thought of the slippery snake and broke out in a cold sweat. God knows, she was most afraid of mollusks. From small soft worms to large snakes, her legs went weak at the sight of them.

She held the stick tightly in her hand, facing the place where the bushes were shaking, and tensed her whole body. As soon as the snake showed its head, she would use the stick to knock it away.

The shaking of the grass came closer and closer, and finally as the nearest grass was parted, a black dot appeared in front of Ji Nuan. She raised the stick in her hand with some trembling and hit the black dot.
