Chapter 113 Song's Leader
Song quickly ran back to his tribe.
"Song, you went hunting again?" a man about his age asked from the side.
Song nodded, but said nothing more. He carefully took the glass of water back home, afraid of spilling it.
“Mother, I’m back,” Song said to a woman lying on an animal skin.
The woman coughed as she got up; she was clearly not feeling well.
"Ahem...Song is back. We were lucky today; the tribe intercepted the other side's grain, and we got a lot. I'll go get it for you," Song's mother said.
At first, he wanted to bring the grain to Song.
She knew how hard Song worked, going out hunting every day and encountering dangers she couldn't even imagine.
"Mother, why are you up again? If your chest is uncomfortable, you should rest. I can take care of these things," a woman said, helping Song's mother back to sit on the animal skin.
Looking at his mother, Song couldn't help but feel a little sad. A while ago, a plague broke out in the tribe, killing many people. Although his mother did not die, she also contracted the disease and suffered from its aftereffects.
The opposing tribe seized the opportunity to launch an attack, putting our side at a complete disadvantage. Unexpectedly, we managed to intercept their grain today. We're really lucky.
Song poured some of the water from one cup into another cup.
"Mother, have some water." Song put on a smile and handed the glass of water that Bai Jie had given him, which was said to cure all diseases, to his mother.
He never doubted Bai Jie; those two auspicious beasts had no reason to harm him in such a matter.
Song's mother took the water and looked at how clear it was. She couldn't help but wonder if there were any water sources nearby that were this clean. But seeing her son's smiling face, she stopped thinking about it.
After smelling the water, my chest felt a little relieved, and my body instinctively drank it all down.
My stomach feels cool and comfortable, and the pain in my chest has subsided, but... I'm a little sleepy?
She yawned: "Song, I'm going to take a nap..."
She lay down on the animal skin and fell into a deep sleep.
Song was also startled. Could there be something wrong with the water? But when he went to his mother's side, he checked her breathing, and it was normal.
Song's mother fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Song breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed to be a side effect of the miraculous medicine.
"Song, what did you give your mother to drink?" the woman asked from the side.
"A miracle drug." Song smiled mysteriously.
The woman rolled her eyes: "You're such a smooth talker. I'm not going to say anything more. I'm going to find Xiao Lin." Lin is their child, and it's time to bring her back for dinner.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm home!" A lively child ran in.
But most importantly, he was followed by a tall, muscular man.
"Leader!" The woman and Song exclaimed in surprise.
"Shh—" The leader put a finger to his lips and shushed her, pointing at Song's mother who was sleeping.
The leader pulled Song outside the room.
"May I ask what brings the leader to my humble abode?" Song suppressed his surprise and excitement.
"What, can't I even come to see the elders of our little hero?" the leader said, feigning anger.
"No, no, of course, wait... a little hero?!" Song was a little shocked. Who else could be a little hero in this place besides his own child?
"Hahaha, you've raised a fine child! It was he who discovered the enemy tribe's grain that allowed us to intercept it!" The chief laughed and patted Song on the shoulder.
Song was completely stunned. How could such a series of good things happen one after another?
He suddenly remembered the fur the beast had given him. Could it be...?!
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.
"Leader, I want to talk to you about something." Song's expression was very serious.
The leader was somewhat interested. Even if Song made a small request, as long as it wasn't too unreasonable, he would grant it.
"It's about..."
. . .
The woods appeared somewhat tranquil under the moonlight.
Two beasts walked side by side.
"The Four-Faced Beasts should head back now; it's getting late." Bai Jie didn't revert to his original form. He felt that this state was more intimidating. If everything came to bother them, wouldn't that be incredibly annoying?
Si Bu Xiang heard Bai Jie's voice and nodded beside him.
"Sure~" the Four-Faced Beast squinted and smiled.
Si Bu Xiang rubbed against Bai Jie's face.
Bai Jie tilted her head, somewhat confused about what the four-legged creature was doing.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jie asked.
The four-legged creature squinted and smiled at Bai Jie, their noses brushing together.
"Ahem, it's time to go back. You don't want me to walk back slowly, do you?" Bai Jie said to Si Bu Xiang, scratching her face slightly with a blush.
What's wrong with these four strange creatures now?
Bai Jie shrank and then lay on the head of the Four-Faced Beast.
"Thanks for standing up for me, Golden Thread~" The Four-Faced Beast scratched Bai Jie's back with its paw.
"What are you venting your anger for? You're not angry at all. I was venting my own anger!" Bai Jie said, pouting, before sliding onto the back of the Siren and disappearing from his head.
Upon hearing Bai Jie's reply, Si Bu Xiang silently thought to himself, "Golden Thread is so cute!"
Without further ado, he blew out a cloud and flew towards the camp.
Bai Jie, bored on the four-way back, opened the panel and found that her faith power had increased by a few points. Although it wasn't much, it had indeed increased.
It seems I really did carry out the order against that guy named Song.
Bai Jie said it was pretty good, at least she hadn't wasted her efforts.
He nodded, fully approving of his method, and mentally praised himself.
The journey was quiet. They weren't too far from the camp, and the Quadrifoglio flew back after about ten minutes.
Cotton Peach had already woken up. Seeing the Four-Faced Beast and Bai Jie flying back from the sky, she hopped and skipped over.
"Stinky Qilin, Bai Jie!" Cotton Peach exclaimed happily.
Si Bu Xiang and Bai Jie naturally heard Mian Tao's cry. Bai Jie waved her claws at Mian Tao from Si Bu Xiang's back.
"Why am I called the Stinky Qilin? Golden Thread is my name..." the Four-Faced Beast said resentfully. He hadn't treated Little Spot badly, so why was he treated like this?
"Could it be... that the stinky Qilin agreed to let me and Bai Jie kiss?" Cotton Peach said, scratching her chin.
"Dream on." The Four-Faced Beast showed no mercy.
"I will never agree. The golden thread belongs only to me." The Four-Faced Beast's eyes were very firm.
He asserted his sovereignty over the cotton bolls.
"Tch~" Cotton Peach knew this stinky unicorn would say that.
"Bai Jie, Bai Jie, you guys are really not nice. You didn't even invite me when you went out to play!" Mian Tao said to Bai Jie with a hint of displeasure.
Bai Jie smiled and ruffled Mian Tao's head.
"Alright, next time I take you out to play, you were asleep then, so I'll let you sleep a little longer~" Bai Jie said, shrugging.
The Four-Faced Beast looked at the little speckled creature chatting with its golden thread and resolved that it would definitely sneak out to play with the golden thread next time, without the little speckled creature.
He nodded silently to himself, and that was it!
