Chapter 163 Temporarily Taking Care of Little Stone
Xie Yunchuan sighed. He really didn't know where his sister learned her naming skills. Naming a mouse "Little Black" was one thing, but naming a tiger "Stone"... was that even appropriate?
The group watched the little dumpling happily petting the tiger, unsure whether they should go over.
They can't talk to animals. What if they get slapped to death by the white tiger as soon as they go over there?
Speaking of this, Xie Yunchuan looked at Xie Yunyang hesitantly: "You... know?"
Xie Yunyang smiled helplessly: "At this point, wouldn't it be strange if I pretended not to know anything?"
Actually, not many people know about Xiaotuanzi's special ability.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother, I know what I'm doing."
"Um."
After the group finished their discussion, the little dumpling over there also finished hers.
The white tiger was very grateful to her for saving him and his cub from the wolves. As Sheng Sheng said, the struggle between wild beasts is a natural thing, and the survival of the fittest is not just a made-up phrase.
Baihu knew that if he didn't completely resolve the conflict with the wolf pack, he would definitely face the same situation again in the future.
Especially today, in order to save her, he even tricked the wolf pack. The white tiger naturally knows which of the things Sheng Sheng just said to the wolf pack were true and which were false. When the wolf king finds out that he has been deceived, he will definitely find them and fight them to the death.
She must find her husband and then join forces with her brother's family to defeat the wolves; only in this way can they bring peace to their family.
"I need to find his father before the wolves. I will definitely repay your life-saving grace, but only after I have resolved this matter."
Sheng Sheng nodded knowingly: "Okay, okay, you guys do your best. But you don't need to repay me. Actually, I didn't do anything. Besides, Shi Tou is so cute, I helped him willingly."
After saying that, he lowered his head and encouraged the little stone in his arms.
"You'd better keep trying! You're not even as big as those wolves' heads, so be careful not to get eaten!"
Little Stone protested, "Who said that? I'm clearly bigger than the wolf's head, okay?"
Little Stone wiggled his little bottom and snuggled back into White Tiger's arms, rubbing against his mother's chest, and said fiercely, "Mom, let's go find Daddy quickly, and then beat those wolves to a pulp!"
"No, you can't go."
White Tiger looked at Stone with loving eyes for a while, then pushed Stone back to Sheng Sheng's side. Looking at Sheng Sheng, his expression was earnest with a hint of pleading: "I have a favor to ask. Could you please watch over... uh, Stone? Stone is still young; he's barely learned to walk. With him around, we can't concentrate on the fight. Stone likes you a lot, and you're very smart. I believe you can protect him well. I'll feel at ease leaving Stone with you. If you agree, I'll come back with his father to pick him up after we've dealt with the wolves, okay?"
Sheng Sheng was taken aback; she seemed to glean another meaning from Bai Hu's words.
In Baihu's eyes, there was not only a request for her help, but also a pleading look.
What are you begging for?
White Tiger knew that Stone's father was injured and his fate was unknown. But the conflict with the wolf pack had to be resolved.
If Baihu is defeated by the wolf pack and does not return alive, she hopes that Shengsheng can take care of Shitou.
Stone is still too young. Although the tiger is the king of beasts, Stone, who is only one month old, is not even as strong as an adult weasel in the wild.
"If there is a future, our White Tiger clan will definitely repay you!"
Little Stone let out a howl and pounced on her: "No, Mother, Stone wants to go too!"
Baihu pushed him back again: "Stop fooling around, Stone, stay with your benefactor for a few days, and your parents will come to pick you up in a few days."
Stone lunged forward again: "No, Stone can't beat those wolves, but it can fight the wolf cubs!"
Baihu pushed him back: "No, stay put."
Shi Tou lunged forward, shouting, "No!"
Baihu pushed it back: "No."
"don't want."
"no."
"don't want!"
"no!"
The mother and son went back and forth, and it was unclear when it would end.
Sheng Sheng scooped up Little Stone, hugged him, and pinned down his four outstretched paws. She then said to the white tiger, "Don't worry, Sheng Sheng will definitely feed Little Stone until he's plump and healthy! You two can fight in peace. Although I can't help you much, I love playing with kids and will definitely take good care of Little Stone."
Little Stone tried to struggle, but sharp claws had grown on all four of his paws. Afraid of scratching Sheng Sheng, he could only wave his paws to express his dissatisfaction, howling and barking.
The white tiger nodded in relief, took a deep look at the little stone, and then walked away without looking back in the direction the wolf pack had gone.
"Mother, Mother!"
Sheng Sheng carried the little stone toward Xie Yunchuan and the others, comforting him as they went.
"Alright, alright, I know you're worried about your parents, but Little Stone, think about it yourself. You're still so young. Let's not even talk about whether you can help. What if you accidentally run into some wolf and get captured? Do you think your mother will still be able to concentrate on fighting?"
With earnest words and a mix of reasoning and coaxing, she said, "Even if you keep hiding in the back, your parents will still have to pay attention to you, right? So, you might as well stay obediently by my side, then your parents can fight without any worries. Let me tell you a secret, the cook here makes really delicious food, I'll take you to eat good food every day, okay?"
Little Stone lowered his head, somewhat dejected: "It's all my fault. I'm too weak. I can only hold my parents back and can't help them at all. What if, what if Daddy is already, already dead? Waaah... What if Mommy and Uncle can't win? What will I do then? Waaah..."
Little Stone fluttered around in her arms for a while, then lay on her shoulder and started sobbing. He was sobbing and whimpering, not like a little tiger, but more like a child throwing a tantrum.
He looked at the others with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and felt somewhat helpless.
The oppressive white tiger was gone, leaving only a small one. The group could barely treat the little stone as a kitten.
Xie Yunchuan guessed that Baihu had left Xiaoshitou here to resolve the conflict with the wolf pack, so he smiled and glanced at Xiaoshitou, who was throwing a tantrum just like a little dumpling, and asked, "Are you throwing a tantrum?"
She explained softly, "No, the child is still young and misses his mother. His mother is going to find his father and then find the other white tigers to fight those wolves to the death, so Little Stone is very worried about them."
Xie Yunyang recalled the scene of the wolf pack surrounding the white tiger and felt lingering fear: "So that's how it was."
