Chapter 30: A Shock to the Tribe
Cain picked up a chestnut from the ground and opened it with a gentle squeeze.
Su Tang opened her mouth wide in shock. “I-isn’t it hot?”
Cain remained calm. “This bit of heat means nothing to me.”
Cain thoroughly enjoyed the way she looked at him in admiration with her bright eyes.
The young and females opened the chestnuts one after another with the help of the males.
After they sampled the roasted chestnuts, every single beast was won over, including the males!
Cain stood up and looked at them as he said, “Su Tang was the one who discovered this fruit. It’s called chestnut, and they can be stored for the entire cold season!”
Everyone went into a commotion the moment they heard this!
“What? Can they be stored for an entire cold season?”
“That’s brilliant! Then we have to gather more chestnuts. That way, we won’t have to go hungry in the cold season!”
“Yeah! This fruit tastes awesome! Can we really get to eat this during the cold season?”
“But I have never seen this fruit before. Is it hard to find?”
“Yeah, where can we find it?”
Everyone chattered nonstop.
The young hid behind the grownups and looked at Su Tang quietly.
Su Tang smiled at them when she spotted them looking at her.
Cain roared, and the tribe instantly went quiet.
“It’s easy to find, and there are a lot of them! If we gather everything, it’s enough to last the tribe the entire cold season!”
The tribe exploded once more!
“Huh! What did he just say? Is there enough for us to eat the entire cold season?”
“Is this for real? Big Bear, hit me now! I’m not sure if I’m dreaming!”
“That’s great! In that case, my father won’t try to leave the tribe secretly! I have to tell him about this good news!”
“Exactly! I have to go back and tell my mother about the news too!”
“Ow. Big Bear, why did you hit me so hard!”
“Didn’t you tell me to hit you?”
The tribe felt lively as everyone bantered and was overjoyed!
Su Tang felt infected by this atmosphere as she stood next to Cain.
She suddenly pulled Cain’s arm and gestured for him to bend over.
She went close to Cain’s ear and said secretly, “I also know a way to store meat throughout the cold season!”
This time, even Cain felt shocked!
He held onto Su Tang’s shoulders tightly and did his utmost to suppress the excitement in his voice. “Really?”
Su Tang nodded. However, she could not help feeling unconfident when she saw the restrained and earnest look in Cain’s eyes.
“I know how to do it, but I never tried it before, so it might not work! We can try since I won’t have to use too much meat!”
Cain’s breathing became rapid!
He pulled Su Tang into his arms and embraced her tightly!
“Thanks, Su!”
His intense manly scent enveloped Su Tang. It smelled good and even made her feel floaty!
She blushed as she patted Cain’s back and calmed him down. “You’re welcome. If you didn’t save me from the forest, I wouldn’t have lasted three days in there. I’m the one who should thank you!”
Cain responded by hugging her even more tightly.
“C-Cain, I can’t breathe! ”
Cain let Su Tang go reluctantly.
It felt great to hold her in his arms, but now was not the time.
Since she was still too young, he did not want to frighten her.
He suppressed the desire in his eyes and rubbed Su Tang at the top of her head.
