Wente didn't enter the cave, but turned around to find the old patriarch. He wanted to ask what this meant!
At this time, the old patriarch had not rested yet. When he saw Wente coming with a strange look on his face, his heart skipped a beat. Did he anger the other party?
"Warriors here?"
Wente frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Chief? Why is there someone else in the cave where you let me stay temporarily?"
The old tribesman felt guilty, "Warrior, listen to my explanation. That is..."
Wen Te said coldly, "If you weren't sincere, you should have told me earlier and I wouldn't have forced you to stay. Chief, you're so disappointing for not keeping your word."
When the old patriarch heard this, he felt something was wrong and asked, "You said there were people in the cave, so did you go in?"
"No." Why would he go in if there was someone there, especially a female.
Did you hear that? The old patriarch's expression became very subtle, and he quickly apologized: "Hey warrior, you misunderstood. It's my fault for not explaining it clearly to the people below. It must be someone who didn't know any better who entered your cave. This is my negligence, blame me!"
"Well, warrior, there's an empty tent next to my cave. If you don't mind, why don't you stay in it for one night?"
The old patriarch apologized sincerely, and Wente's anger subsided by half. The tribe had just been attacked, so it was normal for the management to be a little messy. As long as they were not deliberately playing tricks on him, it would be fine.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I will leave tomorrow morning."
The old patriarch said a few more polite words, then led Wente to the animal skin tent next to him. It was obvious that no one had lived in the tent for a long time, and it was dirty and damp inside. Wente didn't mind it, as males could sleep on the ground in the open air. He would make do with it for one night, as he would be anxious to find someone tomorrow morning.
After the old patriarch left the tent, he did not dare to look for the child. He knew Yingying's temper. If she knew that the other party had not even entered, she would definitely make a fuss, which would make him look bad.
Everything will be fine once this young man named Wente leaves tomorrow.
Wente was so exhausted that he fell asleep soon after lying on the stone slab, but he still remained alert.
…
As expected, Shu Yue, who slept in a cave again, suffered from insomnia. She stared blankly at the ceiling of the cave with her big eyes, while little Shu An in her arms was sleeping soundly.
The unfamiliar environment, the unfamiliar smell, everything made her feel uneasy. She secretly wondered what to do next. She didn't have the strength to run away. Was she going to be kept captive by the fallen beast?
After thinking about it for a long time, my eyes moved to the stone blocking the entrance of the cave. The stone was not blocked tightly, and there was wind in the gap, but no light, which meant that it was not dawn yet. For the first time, I felt that the night was very long.
Suddenly she heard footsteps, followed by the sound of stones being moved. Shu Yue sat up alertly in an instant. Who is coming!
The thought flashed through her mind like lightning, and the stone was pushed away from the outside. A tall shadow appeared, and the other party seemed surprised by her level of vigilance.
Shu Yue smelled the unfamiliar male scent and the next second she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Hei Ting! Hei Ting!"
Little Shuan was woken up by her voice, making a humming sound like crying and covering his ears with his little paws, looking very unhappy about being disturbed.
The male at the entrance of the cave was startled by the shouting. Just as he was about to make a threat, he suddenly realized something and ran away without even entering the cave!
It wasn't until Hei Ting appeared a few seconds later that Shu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
He questioned, "What's going on with Heiting? Why did a fallen beast sneak into my cave in the middle of the night and move my stone? What's their intention?"
Hei Ting frowned as he sniffed the remaining scent of the male. He already knew who it was, but he didn't intend to tell Shu Yue. He just said, "He's gone. You're safe tonight."
