Chapter 477 Acceptance
An An's whole body stiffened, but she didn't pull her hand away, allowing Xia Yueke to lead her away.
The family of four had just walked a few steps in an orderly manner when the group behind them became unhappy.
Long Xiaoyu, Luo Ci, He Langce all went out, only Qing Yan and Xi Yuan followed. When they saw the people in front holding hands, they ran over. Qing Yan held Xia Yueke's other hand, while Xi Yuan, who was a step slower, could only follow behind and walk side by side with Qi'an.
The Harvest Festival is a festival in Beast City. Xia Yueke has never had the chance to participate in it for a long time. Later, the Fox Tribe and Beast City had close contacts, so they introduced this festival.
I heard from Lang Ce that the drought was no longer there after the two of them disappeared for three or four days. The dead trees sprouted again, it rained again, the earth became green, and life gradually returned. The orcs and half-orcs also lived in harmony without interfering with each other, and there was no more friction. The Beast City and the tribe were gradually recovering.
It's only in the past three or four months that Warcraft has started to move.
Therefore, the Harvest Festival is a bustling place with lights and decorations everywhere, a bustling crowd of people, and the air is filled with the aroma of delicious food and all kinds of novelties.
Xia Yueke tried hard to find a topic to break the deadlock: "Look, it's very lively here."
An An simply said "hmm", while Dun Dun nodded silently.
Xia Yuke held the hands of the two and gave Qian Jingyao a wink, and then he left reluctantly.
Gradually, only mother and her two children were left.
Xia Yueke looked at the rolls of spider silk being sold by the spider beastmen not far away, and next to them were the clothes they made.
She excitedly pulled An An and Dun Dun over.
"These clothes are actually made of spider silk?"
The clothing made of spider silk that Xia Yueke reached out to touch was soft, smooth, light, and breathable. It must be very comfortable to wear.
She had an idea. This place was full of places selling barbecue and rice. An An and the others were tired of eating them every day, so it would be better to buy them some clothes. The animal skins on An An and Dun Dun seemed to have been washed many times. When she saw them washing yesterday, they were all shedding hair!
"How much are these clothes? I want to give them both a set!"
Xia Yueke looked at the spider orc and asked, she didn't expect that at such a casual harvest festival, people from other tribes would come with their own supplies.
There were many orcs selling things around, including sheep selling licorice, and rabbits who were not sure if they were grass.
During the time she was away, the Fox Tribe developed very well, and other tribes gradually settled around it. The Fox Tribe gradually became the most prosperous and lively place in the Orc Tribe except for the Beast City.
The spider beastman raised his head and smiled when he heard the question:
"Our clothes are not expensive. A finished piece costs fifteen beast cores! Of course, if you want to take the fabric home and make it yourself, that's fine too. It only costs seven beast cores."
Xia Yuke nodded. To her shame, she didn't know how to make clothes. Instead of taking them home and wasting them, she might as well buy ready-made ones!
Xia Yueke took out the beast core and was about to pay when she realized her hands were shaking slightly from nervousness. She looked up at An An and Dun Dun and asked cautiously:
"Do you like it? If not, let's look at something else."
An An and Dun Dun looked at each other, a trace of confusion flashing in their eyes. An An opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back and just shook her head lightly.
Dundun whispered, "There's no need to spend so much money, mother beast."
These seemingly considerate words made Xia Yueke feel a pang of sadness in her heart. She wished that the children could excitedly say they liked her and then throw themselves into her arms like they did when they were little.
Xia Yueke insisted on paying the money, took the clothes handed to him by the spider beastman, and handed them to the children. An An hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, and his fingers accidentally touched Xia Yueke's hand. He quickly retracted it as if he had been electrocuted, and a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face.
As Dundun took the clothes, he kept his eyes on the ground and whispered, "Thank you, mother beast."
Xia Yueke felt very disappointed. In the past, the children would always cheer happily when they received gifts, but now they seemed so distant.
Xia Yueke forced a smile and said, "Let's go and have a look somewhere else."
She wanted to hold An An's hand, but An An seemed to notice something and pretended to put her hand in her pocket casually. Xia Yueke's hand was suspended in the air, and after a moment of awkwardness, she let it go as if nothing had happened.
Dun Dun followed behind, deliberately keeping a short distance from Xia Yueke. Xia Yueke tried to talk to him several times, but he only responded briefly. The atmosphere was so depressing that it made people uncomfortable.
When passing by a stall selling small accessories, Xia Yueke saw an exquisite wooden fox carving, and immediately came to her mind the image of Dun Dun being unable to let go of the fox doll when he was a child.
She picked up the wooden carving and asked Dun Dun with a smile, "Do you remember the fox doll from before? This one looks a bit like it. Do you want one?"
Dun Dun glanced at the wood carving, a flicker of nostalgia flashing through his eyes, but he quickly regained composure and shook his head, saying, "I'm not a child anymore. I don't need these."
Xia Yueke's heart felt like it was hit hard, and the wooden sculpture in her hand almost fell.
Not far away, a group of children were playing games, laughing happily. Xia Yueke remembered that An An and Dun Dun also liked to play with their friends, so she suggested, "Do you want to go play with them for a while?"
An An frowned, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Mother beast, we have long stopped playing those childish games."
Xia Yueke's smile froze completely. She lowered her head silently, her eyes full of loneliness.
As they were walking, Xia Yueke suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at An An and Dun Dun, her eyes red:
"Is it because the mother beast has been away for too long that you really don't want me anymore?"
An An and Dun Dun were stunned. Their expressions were a little flustered. They opened their mouths but didn't know how to answer.
Xia Yueke could sense their emotions and said softly, "Mother Beast, you know that I've been away for the past six months and you've suffered a lot. From now on, no matter what happens, I will never leave again."
An An's throat moved, and her voice was slightly choked:
"It's not that we don't want to be close to you, but we don't know how to deal with you coming back suddenly."
Dun Dun also mustered up the courage to say:
"We miss you so much, but we're also afraid you'll disappear suddenly like last time."
Xia Yueke's eyes were red, and she reached out and gently touched their heads:
"No, we will always be together from now on."
Hearing this, An An and Dun Dun's tense expressions finally relaxed, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing a long-lost smile.
"Mother beast..."
In the dark, Qian Jingyao, Qi'an and the others who were hiding finally smiled with relief.
Qing Yan patted his head, "Why are these two kids so awkward? They made us wait for so long in vain! And they made Ke Ke sad!"
Qian Jingyao nodded seriously, "Let them go out and gain some experience after they get home. What's wrong with them staying with the father and mother beasts every day?"
Qi An hesitated, "But will Keke agree? What if she doesn't?"
Qian Jingyao fell silent. "If it doesn't work this year, then next year. Once this novelty wears off, Keke will definitely get tired of them."
