"Sibao, what's wrong?"
Su Tang noticed Si Bao's unusual behavior, squatted down, patted Si Bao's head, and asked reassuringly.
The kittens' tails were all taut, as if every single hair was separated.
It looked somewhat comical, yet its eyes held a fierce glint.
This was the first time Su Tang had ever seen the kitten like this; the kitten was always very docile around her.
Moreover, Sibao is the most laid-back of the five cubs, and nothing can arouse his interest.
"ha!!"
Sibao kept breathing on the grass.
Su Tang also looked towards the bushes. "Is there something outside?"
She got up to go and check the bushes.
Sibao, however, grabbed her skirt and dragged her backwards with his buttocks sticking out, preventing her from taking even a single step.
"Alright, alright, Mother won't go over there. Don't be afraid, Mother is here." Su Tang had no choice but to stay still.
After a few minutes, Sibao loosened Sutang's skirt and gradually returned to normal.
Su Tang wanted to ask something, but Si Bao had already lay down again at her feet, squinting her eyes and falling asleep once more.
It was as if Su Tang had just had a hallucination.
Su Tang piled the five cubs together and asked Lin Xia to watch them. She then went with Da Qing to check behind the bushes, but found nothing.
"Strange, there's nothing there. What are those four treasures breathing on?"
Back home, Su Tang told Lin Xia and the others about it.
“I’ve heard that the eyes of cubs are the purest, and they can see dirty things that ordinary people can’t see…” Su Guodong said in a low voice.
"Smack!"
Lin Xia slapped him away.
"What dirty things and white things? He's just spouting nonsense all day long. Tangtang, don't listen to his rubbish. Cats like to catch bugs and stuff. Maybe Sibao just saw a little bug."
Su Shiwei also looked at Su Guodong seriously, "Father, ghosts and monsters don't exist, don't scare Tangtang."
Su Guodong, having failed in his attempt to show off, shrank back, looking aggrieved.
He was just joking, why is everyone taking it so seriously?
The family couldn't reach a conclusion, and Su Tang was still worried.
"Mother, we already have so much food. Shouldn't we strengthen our defenses so that we can be prepared should a group of wild animals suddenly come to steal our food?"
Lin Xia nodded, safety is the top priority.
"Tangtang is right. Let the second son not go hunting tomorrow. Let him set up some traps or something near the house and build the cabin as soon as possible."
After hearing what Su Tang said, she also felt that living in the thatched hut was not very safe.
She had no idea before that there were such large wild animals here, bigger than cars and houses!
Now that I know, I feel like danger is everywhere.
Su Guodong and Su Shiwei both agreed.
When Su Jianyuan and Lang Zhuang returned from their bath, Lin Xia told Su Jianyuan about the arrangement.
These past few days of hunting have been exhausting, so Su Jianyuan agreed to add defensive measures to his home.
Upon hearing this, Lang Zhuang volunteered to help.
He's taken so much of the prey; A Yuan's affairs are his affairs too.
Su Jianyuan didn't stand on ceremony with him; the two of them kept each other company, and that's how their friendship could last.
After discussing the important matter, the family continued to butcher the large black bear.
Xiao Fu started a fire nearby, and wisps of smoke rose up.
There's just too much meat; if I use shiraishi to marinate it, the shiraishi won't be enough.
Linxia turned most of the meat into smoked meat. Although the taste and texture are not as good, it is the only way to preserve meat now.
Wolf Zhuang's meat is also placed here, and Lin Xia helps to smoke it.
Of course, a small "handling fee" will also be charged.
Whenever he had time, Lang Zhuang would help chop and gather firewood, and he never took advantage of his relationship with Su Jianyuan to ask for fire starters.
The family is busy.
The leader of the gray wolves suddenly appeared uninvited.
Two gray wolf orcs also came with them, each holding two leaves, the contents of which were unknown.
"A-Tang..." The gray wolf leader greeted Su Tang with a smile.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the members of the Su family all stopped what they were doing and looked over.
The gray wolf leader nodded and smiled at them one by one.
She smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened.
Since A-Tang knows about the fruit, then her whole family must know about it too.
"Chief, what's going on here? Is there something you need?" Su Tang washed her hands and walked over, looking at the newcomers with a slightly distant expression.
"What are you standing there for?" The gray wolf leader kicked the orc behind him in the butt.
The two gray wolf orcs quickly put the leaves on the ground.
When spread out, it's a pile of dried-up sweet potatoes.
However, these were several sizes larger than the ones Wolf Nini gave Su Tang last time, numbering in the dozens.
Su Tang looked at the gray wolf leader suspiciously, "Leader, just say what you want to say."
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
The gray wolf leader rubbed his hands together and chuckled:
"A-Tang, I heard you went to the back mountain to pick fruit. What do the fruits look like? Can you tell me about them?"
Su Tang was taken aback. Lang Nini hadn't told him?
She taught Wolf Nini to recognize the fruit without intending to hide it. She thought that if Wolf Nini told the Gray Wolf leader about the fruit, the Gray Wolf leader would treat her better, and it wouldn't be too hard for her to raise her cubs alone in the future.
Besides, the fruit was indeed found in someone's back mountain. Su Tang and the leader of the gray wolves didn't have a good relationship, but they had no grudges against each other.
Surprisingly, she didn't say anything.
Seeing that Su Tang didn't speak, the gray wolf leader thought he was unwilling.
Thinking about how he had offended Su Tang many times before, he felt extremely regretful.
He quickly said:
"I'm not here to force you. If you tell me that the Gray Wolf Tribe finds the same fruit in the future, I will share it with you. I will never treat you unfairly."
