"When you were almost back, the other hunters in the village brought back Wang Ge's mutilated body. It's such a pity for Da Shan's child, who lost his father at such a young age." Li sighed. "Wang Ge's family just suffered such a tragedy. With an orphan and a widow, it's understandable that they were a bit emotional. I didn't take it to heart, but you should go and see him."
Li Mantian nodded silently. Speaking of which, Brother Wang was also a skilled hunter, but he ended up like this. Could the thing in the mountains be a monster?
When it was time to cook, Madam Li entrusted the important task of looking after Ye Shuang to Li Mantian and then got up to go out and cook.
Ye Shuang struggled to open her eyes. The little bit of spiritual power she had just cultivated was used to punish the woman. Now, her body, which had no spiritual power at all, felt like it was dragging a lead weight. Even if she couldn't sleep, she just wanted to lie in bed and not move.
Looking at Ye Shuang's dazed expression, Li Mantian's heart almost melted. He was about to reach out and hug her when Bai Xue stopped him with a soft sob.
"Waaah..."
"This is my daughter... Can't I even hug her?" Li Mantian twitched his lips, slapped it away, and before it could react, scooped Ye Shuang up and held her in his arms.
Bai Xue: "..."
Ye Shuang rested her small face on Li Mantian's shoulder, and glanced at Bai Xue with a warning look in a direction he couldn't see. The couple didn't know it was a wolf yet, which was why they dared to keep it. If Bai Xue exposed herself, the first thing she would probably do was be kicked out of the house.
"Shuang'er, it's time to wake up. Dinner is coming soon. Why don't you eat first and then go back to sleep?" Li Mantian said gently as he patted Ye Shuang's back, afraid that she would be frightened by his actions.
Ye Shuang nodded lazily, letting Li Mantian carry her out of the room.
Bai Xue followed suit, leaping down and keeping a slight distance from Li Mantian.
The table still had a bowl of rice porridge for each person, except that Ye Shuang and Li Mantian had an extra egg.
Li took Ye Shuang from Li Mantian's arms. She had already crushed the egg in a bowl and was feeding Ye Shuang spoonful by spoonful, mixing it with rice porridge.
Ye Shuang couldn't refuse, since it had really turned into a paste and was clearly prepared specifically for her.
Li Mantian then used his chopsticks to pick up half of the food and gave it to Li Shi and the other half to Li Wenyi.
Looking at the half-eaten egg in the bowl, Li Wenyi's eyes welled up with tears. In the past few days, only at this moment did he feel that he was the real son of this family.
Then he heard Li Mantian say casually, "Come with me to see your Uncle Wang in a bit. You need to look carefully, because we'll be heading into the mountains in the next day or two."
Li Wenyi froze on the spot. The tears that were about to fall from his eyes were wiped back. No wonder she specially shared half an egg with him today. So she was waiting for him here!
After Li Wenyi finished his most difficult meal, Li Mantian led him out. Ye Shuang and Li Shi watched them leave the courtyard. Seeing Li Wenyi's pleading look as he turned back repeatedly, Li Shi hugged Ye Shuang, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Shuang's lips curled up, her eyes filled with a smile. There's no harm in gaining more experience now, as there will probably be even more difficult times to accept in the future.
After they left, Li looked at Bai Xue at her feet and wondered, "This little thing needs to eat meat, right? There's only some rice porridge left in the pot now, I don't know if it will eat it."
Ye Shuang wisely didn't reply; she was still a child, and children don't understand anything!
However, after Li brought out the remaining rice porridge, Ye Shuang looked at Bai Xue, who seemed somewhat disgusted, and transmitted her thoughts to her: Eat up, you can go into the mountains for a meat feast tonight.
