CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27, LIFE MUST GO ON_1

Xiu Ming’s face darkened even further, he cast a helpless glance at Ji Nuan, who was still sobbing.

His voice was low and carried a small hint of resentment: "Mother, I did not bully Shan Zaizai, she is crying because of what happened to my younger brother."

Ge Rou looked up with red, swollen eyes and carefully observed the fair and clean little cub in front of her. Indeed, behind her, she saw the characteristic white tiger tail.

Although surprised at how Ji Nuan suddenly became so beautiful, Ge Rou was in no mood to care about it at this moment.

She left the arms of her male, pulled Ji Nuan’s little paw and walked to the cave: "Don’t cry anymore, aunt is even more heartbroken when you cry like this."

Ji Nuan quickly wiped her face dry of tears, her eyes were filled with guilt, she lowered her head and followed Ge Rou in silence.

Ge Rou sat Ji Nuan down on the Beast Skin, petting her tiny head: "Aunt understands what you’re thinking, but I want to tell you, this has nothing to do with you.

Xiu Yan encountered a pack of Sharp Teeth Beasts, even unharmed...he would have struggled to escape, you don’t need to blame yourself.

Live your life well, winter is almost here, you should focus on storing food. Come find aunt if you need help."

Ji Nuan’s thin claws clenched tightly, her large eyes filled with tears, she nodded silently without uttering a word.

She stood up, bid farewell to Ge Rou, Uncle Xiu Li, and Xiu Ming, and headed towards her own cave with heavy steps.

In her heart, she knew aunt Ge Rou was just trying to comfort her. If Xiu Yan wasn’t injured, he would definitely have been able to escape. Even if he was slightly injured, he would have been able to survive.

She knew that this incident would pierce her heart like a thorn, impossible to forget for the rest of her life.

In the afternoon, Ji Nuan wove another basket from the twigs she collected. This basket was better looking and sturdier than the one she had left by the Stinky Fruit Tree.

Shouldering the new basket, she squinted at the high-hanging sun, and slowly headed towards the small woods not far from the tribe.

Life has to go on, doesn’t it...

Previously, Ji Nuan was the only one in the small woods whenever she visited, but now she always came across a few women wanting to catch Giggle Beasts and their husbands.

After saying hello to each other, she walked deeper into the bushes with her basket.

As more people came to catch them, the Giggle Beasts were no longer standing still like before. Seeing Ji Nuan approach, they frantically flapped their wings and ran away.

Ji Nuan cautiously parted the bushes in front of her with a stick for every step she took. Whenever she spotted a fist-sized Giggle Beast egg, she would pick it up and put it in her basket. There were many eggs hidden in the deep bushes, and she had collected nearly half a basket in a while, she straightened her sore back.

Turned around and prepared to pick some fruits, she suddenly heard a rustling sound from the shrub to her left as if something was crawling inside, and judging by the sound’s direction, it was approaching her.

Ji Nuan immediately thought of a slippery snake, breaking out in a cold sweat. Heaven knows, she was most afraid of soft-bodied animals.

From a variety of squishy worms to snakes, at the sight of these, her legs would turn to jelly.

She held the stick tightly in her hands, facing the trembling location of the bushes, her body was taut, ready to stick-fling the snake as soon as it showed up.

The shaking of the bushes moved closer, and finally, along with the closest grass parting, a black dot appeared in front of Ji Nuan. She lifted the shaking stick in her hand and aimed it at the black dot.
