"Mother, who is 'daughter'? We don't have any beastmen in our family who are called 'daughter'."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fu asked Lin Xia with a puzzled look.
“Your daughter is your older sister’s nickname.” Lin Xia was adept at coaxing the child, truly a mother’s daughter.
"But I've never heard you call me that before." Xiao Fu's brows furrowed like two caterpillars, her eyes full of suspicion.
“Your father and I just came up with this name yesterday, and it will be your older sister’s nickname from now on,” Lin Xia explained.
"Oh." Xiao Fu nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Su Tang, "Daughter, then I'll call you that too, sister, from now on!"
Su Tang: "..." What should I do if I suddenly feel like slapping someone?
Lin Xia: I'm a wet nurse now?
She was both amused and exasperated, and quickly covered Xiao Fu's mouth.
“You can’t call her that. Only your mother and father can call her that.”
"Why?"
Xiao Fu wanted to ask more, but Su Tang tapped him on the head and interrupted, "Cubs don't have so many questions. I told you not to shout, so don't shout."
They deliberately lowered her seniority.
Xiao Fu frowned, looking at Su Tang with resentment, but obediently shut his mouth.
"Father, what happened? Tell me slowly." Su Tang looked at Su Guodong, who looked anxious.
Su Jianyuan and Su Shiwei behind her remained calm, which left Su Tang somewhat unsure of what was going on.
"The fruit you left on the road is gone," Su Guodong said, annoyed.
Those are high-quality, large apples grown on my daughter's farm. The core of one apple can be used to cultivate many seedlings!
Two apples? How many fruit trees will he have to lose!
Su Guodong grew angrier the more he thought about it, feeling as if he had lost an orchard.
Su Tang thought something serious had happened, so she quickly reassured Su Guodong, "Maybe it was carried away by a wild animal. It's okay if it's gone. We still have six fruits, that's enough for us."
However, constantly losing fruit is not a good thing.
It seems we'll need to make some more convenient containers for transporting things like fruit in the future.
Xiao Fu asked suspiciously:
"Aren't the fruits picked in the forest? Just go pick more, won't you?"
Su Guodong's face stiffened. Remembering that Xiao Fu was still there, he quickly recalled whether he had let something slip and vaguely replied:
“Those were picked with great effort by your older sister. How could I not be worried if they disappeared?”
Xiao Fu thought about it and realized that it made sense; before yesterday, he hadn't even been able to get any fruit.
Thinking about it, he felt quite distressed about losing such two big fruits. He regretted not going with his mother and helping to retrieve them.
She pouted and gave Su Guodong a reproachful look.
It's all my father's fault for not letting him go.
"Alright, let's eat these six fruits and then think about what to do next," Lin Xia interrupted them.
The family then stopped saying anything and sat quietly in front of the now-extinguished fire, eating apples.
The group fell silent as they thought about their family's current situation.
It was Su Tang who broke the silence:
"Eating fruit every day won't work, Xiao Fu. How did we get our food before?"
The most important thing now is to solve the problem of food sources.
It cannot be a single type of food.
Everyone looked at Xiao Fu with anticipation, thinking that their Tangtang was the quickest to think.
“Before, it was always my father and my brother’s father who went hunting. After they died, no one went hunting anymore. After we came to the Gray Wolf Tribe, we have always relied on my brother Wolf Kui to bring us game to help us out…”
Xiao Fu truthfully recounted the events of the past.
Everyone: "..." So none of them are useful?
"Then what will we do in the future?" Su Guodong asked the question that was on everyone's mind. He was only good at farming, but farming couldn't immediately produce food.
Besides, he only has one type of seed at the moment.
Su Jianyuan stood up. "I'll go hunting!"
"Brother, are you sure you can do it?" Su Tang asked uncertainly. It wasn't that she didn't believe in his abilities, but this was another world, and neither of them knew anyone here.
“Little sister, you’re underestimating me. Don’t you know what I do?” Su Jianyuan said with pride. “Besides, we have no other way to get food except by going out hunting.”
"Besides me, is there anyone else in our family who can hunt?"
Su Jianyuan countered with a question.
Su Tang glanced at the family.
She and her mother were both too weak to even kill a chicken, her father was a lazy old man who only knew how to farm, and her older brother was young and strong, but as far as she knew, by the time her older brother had devised a precise hunting plan, their family would probably already be lining up in the underworld to receive Meng Po's soup.
Xiao Fu is not yet an adult, so there's no need to watch him.
Since they were all carnivorous beastmen, eating only apples couldn't meet their body's needs.
"Alright, second brother, you're going hunting in the woods today. Be careful. Hunting is secondary; safety comes first." Lin Xia solemnly instructed, agreeing to Su Jianyuan's suggestion.
"Okay, Mom... Mother!"
Feeling the gaze directed at Xiao Fu, Su Jianyuan abruptly changed his form of address.
Xiao Fu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Did he hear that right? Second Brother is going hunting?
In the past, when his mother used to whip his second brother with a rattan cane, he would not leave the thatched hut even for a moment, let alone go out hunting. He wished he could eat, drink, relieve himself, sleep, and die in the thatched hut!
Second Brother has absolutely no hunting skills; when he goes into the forest, he's practically handing himself over to the wild animals for a meal.
Xiao Fu looked at the family who had already made their decision, but couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she eventually gave up.
Never mind, I hope Second Brother is swallowed whole when he's eaten, so it won't be so painful.
"Second brother, do you know where to hunt?" The usually taciturn Su Shiwei suddenly asked.
