Seeing the incredulous look on Lang Nini's face, Su Tang asked curiously, "Does Lang Zhuang like you?"
Otherwise, why would he have gone through all that trouble and danger to Wan Shou Mountain, only to immediately give the white stone to Wolf Nini upon his return?
Is he trying to win over Wolf Nini?
"No, no..." Lang Nini shook her head, meeting Su Tang's curious gaze, and said somewhat awkwardly, "It's because I used to like Lang Zhuang."
Su Tang opened her mouth into an "O" shape.
So Lang Nini and Lang Zhuang had this kind of relationship before?
"He must have feelings for you, otherwise why would he send you the white stone?" Su Tang said with a gossipy expression.
Wolf Nini shook her head without hesitation, her expression somewhat forlorn, and said, "It's impossible. He said he doesn't like me..."
Su Tang didn't believe it; she only believed what she saw.
I remember recently when I came here, I kept smelling the muttony odor on the wolf cubs.
"Did you receive a sheep recently?" she asked.
"A-Tang, how did you know?" Lang Nini asked in surprise, as she hadn't told A-Tang about this yet.
Upon hearing this, Su Tang was almost certain.
The reward that Lang Zhuang wanted, whether it was a sheep or a white stone, was all for Lang Nini.
As for why the two had such a misunderstanding.
“That sheep was also a reward that Lang Zhuang got from me,” Su Tang explained, laughing. “If you’re not sure, just ask Lang Zhuang.”
This is the most direct and simplest method.
She has never liked trouble; she prefers to keep things simple.
Upon hearing this, Wolf Nini became somewhat absent-minded.
The suspicions that I dared not mention gradually took hold of my heart.
Soon, she raised her head firmly, "A-Tang, let's go to the back mountain first, and I'll ask when we get back."
Seeing that Lang Nini had already made up her mind, Su Tang smiled and nodded, and the two walked together toward the back mountain.
Su Tang didn't know the way and followed behind Lang Nini, carrying a basket on her back.
When going out, carrying a basket is much more convenient than a regular basket, as you don't have to carry it in your hands. The road is overgrown with weeds and bushes, and you need to use your hands or a stick to clear away the weeds blocking your way every few steps.
Accompanying the two were three wolf cubs.
Perhaps because Su Tang was with them today, the kids were very excited, and soon they rushed ahead and disappeared from sight.
Wolf Nini has been bringing them to the back mountain every day recently. She is very familiar with the paths here and is not afraid that they will run away.
Along the way, the three wolf cubs ran back and forth tirelessly, which made Su Tang smile.
The back mountain is not far from the cave.
It's only a ten-minute walk to get there.
The path up the mountain wasn't steep, but the vegetation was so lush that it was a bit difficult to walk.
The tall shrubs almost completely covered Su Tang's head.
This path was only made possible by Lang Nini's daily visits, which trodden out a shallow trail; otherwise, the road would have been much more difficult to traverse.
"A-Tang, slow down. Few beastmen come up to the back mountain now. There are usually more beastmen during the windy season, so the road is a bit difficult to walk on." Wolf Nini walked ahead, turning back almost every three steps.
I was afraid of leaving her behind.
The windy season on the ancient continent was autumn on Earth.
However, autumn here is very windy, and when the wind blows, the leaves fall down with a rustling sound, so the orcs call this period of time the windy season.
"It's okay, I can keep up." She wasn't that fragile, unable to even climb a mountain.
It's probably springtime on Earth now, what the orcs call the warm season. The climate is warm and pleasant, making it the best time to raise cubs and hunt.
Only at this time of year do orcs have enough food.
The large prey on the back mountain have long been caught, and it's not the season when fruit is plentiful; fruit is plentiful during the windy season. So, basically no orcs go up the back mountain now.
Everyone went into the forest to find something delicious to eat.
Su Tang followed Wolf Nini and gradually learned a lot about the Gray Wolf tribe.
The back mountain is not high; compared to the verdant mountains surrounding the tribe, it is at most a large hill.
Even so, an hour had passed by the time the two reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"We're here, Tang. I usually pick fruit here," Lang Nini said to Su Tang, her face flushed.
Su Tang looked around.
This was her first time visiting the back mountain of the Gray Wolf Tribe.
This place is different from the mountains outside; it seems rather desolate, probably because there are few animals around.
I didn't see any edible plants either.
Wolf Nini was a little embarrassed. "I've picked almost all the fruit nearby. We'll have to go a little further today."
She had no partner and could only make a living by finding fruit in the mountains behind the village.
"It's nothing." Su Tang didn't care at all; she was just trying her luck.
The two walked eastward.
About ten minutes later, a splash of red appeared in the grass ahead.
They're wild baby strawberries!
Su Tang's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected to be so lucky today, finding a fruit right away!
Wolf Nini also noticed it and ran over excitedly, carefully picking the small strawberries from the short strawberry plant.
Then he turned around and waved to Su Tang, "A Tang, come here quickly, there are edible fruits here."
Su Tang walked over.
Wild strawberries are only about the size of a thumb, looking very tiny, but the black dots on them are huge, like black sesame seeds, and they are also very fuzzy.
The strawberries of the ancient continent certainly grew in a unique way.
There weren't many wild strawberries, only a dozen or so, but Wolf Nini was very happy.
"A-Tang, come and pick some too. These fruits are edible, but they taste strange and not very good. I don't know if Xiao Fu will eat them."
Wolf Nini waved to Su Tang, urging her to hurry up and pick the fruit.
She picked only half of them, six in total, wrapped them in leaves, and put them in a leather bag.
There are still seven unpicked ones on the ground.
Su Tang only picked two, leaving the remaining five for Lang Nini.
“I don’t need that many. Just pick two for my younger brother to try. You can pick the rest; he can’t eat that many.”
One seed is enough.
Seeing this, Lang Nini didn't hesitate. Knowing that Su Tang had plenty of food, she picked the remaining five wild strawberries as well.
She was lucky today; in the past, it would have taken her a long time to find just a few fruits.
"Tang, let's go take another look around!" Lang Nini said happily. She felt lucky to have Tang with her, and they were sure to find plenty of fruit today.
"Okay." Su Tang was also very happy. They had only been out for a short time and had already found a kind of fruit.
We only need two more to meet the KPI for the fifth plot of land!
How could she not be happy!
The two were about to step into the bushes ahead.
Three wolf cubs suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the two of them.
The wolf's paws gripped the ground tightly, its body lowered slightly, its green eyes fixed on the bushes in front of it, and a low, vibrating sound came from its throat.
It was as if they had spotted some kind of enemy.
