Su Guodong also stared at Su Tang with a nervous expression.
Su Tang glanced at Hu Shen's tense face and saw the probing look in the two elders' eyes, then smiled and explained.
"Don't misunderstand."
Hu Shen unconsciously clenched his fists.
Su Guodong breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his little darling couldn't have been kidnapped so quickly.
"We are just ordinary partners."
Su Guodong's breath, which had just been relieved, immediately tightened again.
Hu Shen paused for a moment, then silently walked behind Su Tang, his steps filled with joy.
Su Guodong's face darkened, and before he could say anything, Lin Xia pinched his waist.
“Father and Mother, we originally planned to tell you after we got back. I didn’t mean to keep it from you, it’s just that the distance is too far and it’s troublesome to send messages.”
Knowing the two elders' personalities, Su Tang hugged Lin Xia and said coquettishly.
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Lin Xia smiled.
She concealed the dagger in her sleeve and looked at Hu Shen with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as you two have a good relationship, that's all that matters. Your mother and father aren't old-fashioned, they can understand."
Looking at Lin Xia's appearance, Su Shiwei and Xiao Fu recalled her fierce appearance when she was about to take up a knife and kill people when they went up the mountain.
They fell silent as if by unspoken agreement.
"Meow!"
The four children who came in later couldn't help but excitedly rush over when they saw Su Tang.
They all burrowed into Su Tang's arms, their big heads almost knocking her over.
"Don't push, don't push! Second baby and third baby, your drool is all over my face!"
Su Tang hugged the baby as if she were holding several struggling big fish in her arms.
Seeing this, Hu Shen picked up the two cubs in each hand and threw them over to Si Bao.
When the children saw Sibao, they seemed to take a liking to him as well, repeating their excited behavior towards Sutang. The five children rolled around on the ground in excitement.
Most of the time, it was the big ones who pinned the four little ones to the ground and made them lick their fur.
"Meow!" Sibao looked at Sutang with pleading eyes.
"Sibao's voice is really better!" Xiaofu shouted excitedly when he heard Sibao's voice.
"Sister, did you really find the divine stone for Sibao? What does the divine stone look like?"
Xiao Fu looked on with curiosity.
Su Tang smiled and nodded. Seeing that Lin Xia and her husband also looked curious, she recounted what had happened.
Su Guodong, who had been sullen, finally looked less gloomy when he heard that Hu Shen had used the precious divine stone on Sibao without hesitation.
"Our home is so far from the Beast Mountain, how did you manage to get here with four cubs?"
Su Jianyuan looked at the group of people who looked travel-worn and asked.
"The snow season is coming soon, and the Gray Wolf tribe is coming to exchange White Stone for wintering. I went to see the Gray Wolf chieftain, and he sent a lot more beastmen. We were very grateful for the help and care from the Gray Wolf beastmen on the way."
Lin Xia explained.
The farm has white stones left by Hu Shen, so there's no worry about not having enough white stones to eat.
The Gray Wolf Tribe happened to be short of white stones, so they stockpiled a lot of supplies before the snow season arrived and made another trip to the Beast Mountain.
Lin Xia spoke casually, but Su Tang knew the journey must have been very arduous.
Feeling sorry for them, she immediately told the two elders, Su Shiwei, and Xiao Fu to go and rest.
The four children, having been separated from Su Tang for a long time, were unwilling to be separated from her again, following her almost every step of the way, showing great dependence on her.
Hu Shen personally carried all the luggage into the cave and cleaned up the cave next to Su Jianyuan's cave for the two elders, Su Shiwei, and Xiao Fu to live in.
After all that work, any grievances Su Guodong might have had against him vanished like smoke.
Upon learning that it was the gray wolf orcs who had helped bring the two elders and their cubs over, Hu Shen immediately summoned Hu Ming and gave him instructions:
"Go and trade the white stones with the orcs from the Gray Wolf tribe, so they can get the white stones and go back as soon as possible."
The two elders did not reveal Hu Shen's identity. The gray wolf orcs were still unaware of what was happening when a tiger orc suddenly appeared and took all their supplies.
They got more white stones than they had exchanged in a whole year before!
Looking at bag after bag full of white stones, the gray wolf orc grinned from ear to ear.
Fearing further unforeseen events, the leader of the gray wolf orcs learned his lesson this time.
He immediately ordered his men to take the white stone they had obtained in exchange back, while he himself summoned two young orcs to stay behind and await news from Lin Xia.
It's the same as catching up with the team later.
Lin Xia and her husband hadn't seen Su Tang for a long time. Although they were tired from the journey, they weren't sleepy at all and insisted on talking to Su Tang in the cave.
Su Tang then told the two elders the good things that had happened along the way.
Su Shiwei and Xiao Fu were also listening from the side.
When Xiao Fu heard the crucial moment, he raised his arms and clenched his fists, his big eyes widening as if they were shining, staring intently at Su Tang.
Every now and then, he would excitedly ask a few questions, his young face flushed with excitement.
His face was filled with longing for the outside world.
The three little ones lay down beside Su Tang's legs, while Er Bao and San Bao were behind her, playing tug-of-war with a big bone in their mouths.
After Su Tang finished speaking, everyone felt as if they had experienced it firsthand.
They all knew that the hardships involved were hundreds of times greater than what Su Tang had described.
"Father, Mother, what are your plans for the future? The weather has been terribly cold these past few days, and the snow season is probably just around the corner. Are you going back to the farm or staying here?"
Su Tang sat next to Lin Xia, and like a little girl, she put her arm around her and asked.
She had originally planned to go back, but now that her whole family has come, plans can't keep up with changes, and she'll definitely have to change things depending on the situation.
"us……"
"Of course we're going back! Daughter, you have to come back with us too. We don't have a place to stay here. What if you get frostbite during the snowy season!"
As soon as Lin Xia opened her mouth, Su Guodong slapped her thigh.
The sound was as loud as thunder.
He spoke with his face turning red and his neck thick:
“When we came here this time, the farmland, your mother’s processing workshop, and Xiao Fu’s chickens and rats were all left unattended. We have to go back!”
He looked at Hu Shen with a stern face as he spoke.
“Although you two are together, my daughter can’t stand being wronged. She has to have everything she deserves. She can’t just get married without any consideration. You have to make up for it before I can let her come over.”
Although Hu Shen couldn't understand what Su Guodong was saying, he nodded sincerely.
“Of course, Atang deserves the best of everything.”
He wholeheartedly agreed with Su Guodong's words.
Seeing that Hu Shen agreed so easily, Su Guodong didn't know how to say the difficult things he had prepared.
Why doesn't this kid play by the rules?
Lin Xia glared at Su Guodong, about to reprimand him.
Suddenly, the voices of orcs came from outside the cave.
A moment later, Hu Ming ran in and stopped outside the cave.
He said to the people inside:
"Wang, A-Tang, an orc from the Gray Wolf tribe says he's looking for A-Xia."
He asked, "Has Xia found Tang yet? They're going back to the Gray Wolf Tribe now. Do you want to wait for us to go back to the Gray Wolf Tribe together?"
