Traveling through the world of beasts: She came from a female superior

Ye Xing was filled with resentment. He stopped and thought carefully, then turned and went to the woods outside the clearing.

She remembered that there was a big tree hole there, which was very similar to the place where Humian once lived. The boy might be hiding there.

The result was just as she expected. Before she entered, she felt Hu Mian's breath.

Sure enough, this kid was hiding inside. I could hear some clanging noises and I had no idea what he was doing.

Ye Xing walked in holding the bear paw and found Hu Mian sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head lowered. Beside his legs was a small pile of colored stones, which emitted a soft seven-color light in the dim light.

These are the only few tiger cottons left, the rest were taken away by Hu Qing and his men in exchange for supplies.

After the snow season is over, Ye Xing plans to let Hu Mian lead the way to explore the bottom of the lake and get more "shell stones".

Since they are not needed yet, Hu Mian took them back and carried them with him like treasures.

"Hu Mian, why are you here alone? Are you hungry?"

Ye Xing walked over, squatted, and tilted his head to look at Hu Mian's eyes - as expected, they were red and swollen.

What a bad temper!

Ye Xing was speechless.

"Look, I brought bear paws and honey. Can I roast them for you now?"

After talking for a long time, Hu Mian lowered his head and shook it, and his fingers touched the stone again and again, making a "crackling" sound.

Ye Xing simply sat down, she was ready to give Hu Mian a good lesson!

This time, I have to be ruthless and correct this kid's bad habits. I will be busier and busier in the future, and it is impossible for me to coax him every day!

"Tiger cotton——"

"Ye Xing——"

As soon as she called him, Hu Mian also spoke at the same time, and the two of them couldn't help but pause.

"You speak first..." Ye Xing nodded his chin at Hu Mian.

"I'm still short of one..." Hu Mian said with his head down.

"What do you mean one is missing?" Ye Xing didn't understand.

Hu Mian counted the stones one by one in front of Ye Xing, and then said, "There are eleven in total. You said I was twelve years old, so there is one less."

Ye Xing felt a tightness in his heart and was a little choked.

"Why are you counting stones?" she asked.

"One for each year. I need as many as my age. That's how I used to save up."

"Did you know how to count before?" Ye Xing didn't believe it.

"No, I only know about darkness and day. When I was a kid, I counted a leaf every time it got dark. Later, I got colored stones, so every time it got dark, I counted a stone."

Hu Mian spoke in a low voice, and spoke slowly, word by word.

Ye Xing felt very uncomfortable after listening to this.

She couldn't help imagining a picture in her mind - a skinny little kid hiding alone in a dark tree hole, counting stones one by one with eager eyes. No matter it was freezing cold or raining outside the tree hole, or even when the moon was high in the sky and it was a rare good day, there was always only one person in the tree hole.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat... this child counted more than three thousand days!

Ye Xing felt very upset, because later they took the stones that others had worked so hard to get and exchanged them for money!

...I can’t think about it anymore!

Her head was full of words of instruction but she couldn't utter them. After trying for a long time, she finally couldn't bear to take advantage of the situation.

"Ugh……!"

She sighed and admitted defeat again.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the little hairy boy in front of him, pretending to be vicious and said: "I don't blame you anymore, don't be angry anymore!"

"Woo..."

Hu Mian sucked his nose hard and couldn't hold back the humming sound any longer. At the same time, he threw himself at Ye Xing and dived into her arms.

Ye Xing was almost knocked over. She leaned back for a moment before hugging him. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him, scolding him: "You just want to make trouble--!"

Hu Mian buried his little head in the corner of her shoulder and burst into tears.

Ye Xing's behavior proved that she would no longer blame herself and would not teach him a lesson anymore.

"Wuwu... I'll be obedient, don't hate me!" Hu Mian said crying.

Ye Xing had a cold face the whole day, which scared the little thing.

Now that she was finally willing to come over to hug him and comfort him, Hu Mian could no longer bear his grievance.

"Alas... How could I hate you! I will never hate Hu Mian!" Ye Xing hugged him tightly.

"But I have to reason with you, Hu Mian. We will build a very large tribe in the future and take in more and more people. You have to learn to accept many new things, like those horses. They are helpful to our lives and can bring us great convenience. Hu Mian, I told you that you have to work hard to learn to live as a human being and not have the same ideas as wild animals!"

Ye Xing earnestly and carefully explained to Hu Mian once again what the human way of life is.

Just now, Ye Xing was still thinking about punishing this kid, but now his heart was filled with pity, so how could he still be angry? He couldn't bring himself to hit him, so he could only coax and persuade him softly, hoping that this kid would change his mind and stop throwing tantrums.

She tried her best to persuade him, but she didn't see that Hu Mian was lying on her shoulder, facing the dark night, with a big smile on his face, which was cunning and proud, and even his pointed little tiger teeth showed off -

Humph, I don't believe she won't coax me! She has to coax me!
