When Hu Min heard that the old man who took advantage of Long Ling'er was coming, a hint of anger appeared on her still charming face. She held Long Ling'er's hand and pulled her behind her.
"You shameless old man, you actually dared to come here. Ling'er, you stay here. Grandma will help you teach him a lesson."
She pushed Long Linger back into the cave and rushed out with great anger.
Long Yu and Long Xiu also treated themselves as enemies. They stood on Long Linger's left and right, blocking her firmly behind them.
Dayou and the strange old man seemed determined to resist to the end.
"Which old man forced my kid to call him daddy? Stand up and call me mom first!"
Hu Min strode out with an angry face. When passing by the cave entrance, he picked up two stones from the ground and held them in his hands, looking like he was going to fight with someone.
The turtle orcs guarding the gate were a step late in reacting. When they were about to go over to stop them, Hu Min had already walked out of the cave, holding up two brick-sized stones, and looking at the orcs gathered outside with his eyes narrow as a bean.
The turtle orcs hurried forward, and two of them worked together to hold Hu Min down and drag her back to the cave.
"Let me go!"
Hu Min naturally refused to do so. While struggling and resisting, he stretched his neck and shouted at the beastmen:
"Where's the old man who wanted to take my cub away? Did he dare to do it but he doesn't dare to stand up?"
Hu Lin was still angry after teaching Shu Da a lesson.
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from behind him, he was stunned for a moment. He wanted to look back, but his neck seemed to be stuck by something, and even the movement of turning back became stiff.
He clenched his hands unconsciously, and a glimmer of light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes. After a pause, he turned around abruptly and looked at the owner of the voice.
"Min, Minmin?"
Hu Lin's lips moved and his voice began to tremble.
This voice must be Minmin!
Even though he hadn't seen her for twenty years, he knew her voice was still deeply engraved in his mind.
Hearing Hu Lin's voice, Hu Min was also stunned. He stopped struggling and looked forward subconsciously.
As if she had sensed something, she immediately saw the middle-aged male standing out from the crowd behind the orcs.
"Hu Lin?"
Hu Min called out uncertainly.
The male opposite soon matched the face in memory. Compared with his youthful appearance in the past, Hu Lin has now become mature and steady, and his temperament has also changed greatly.
She almost didn't recognize him at first.
Hu Min's voice seemed to have triggered a switch in Hu Lin's body. He pushed aside the orcs blocking his way and strode towards Hu Min.
"Let her go! Who allowed you to touch her?"
Without waiting for the turtle orcs to react, Hu Lin waved them away with a cold face and placed his hands firmly on Hu Min's arms.
A pair of vicissitudes of life eyes overflowed with tenderness, and he spoke excitedly:
"Minmin, it's really you, I finally found you!"
When Long Yu and the others saw Hu Lin coming over, they thought he was going to attack Hu Min. They were about to step forward to help, but they saw that Hu Lin acted like he was familiar with Hu Min, and they were stunned.
Does grandma know this strange old man
Why do these two people look so familiar
The orcs of the Leihe tribe were even more dumbfounded. Their leader was the most moody and had a weird temper. Although he was not so bad to his tribesmen on weekdays, he had never been so gentle to anyone.
And doesn’t the leader have a partner
Who is this female leader
The group of orcs were all full of doubts and looked at the two people strangely.
Hu Min didn't expect that after half of her life, she would be able to see Hu Lin again, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Hu Lin, you are still alive... Where have you been all these years..."
That year, their fox tribe was attacked by other tribes. She, Hu Lin, Hu Qiang and other tribesmen fled the tribe and went into exile.
She wanted to find other tribes to join, but unexpectedly she encountered a flood on the way. Hu Lin went to a high place to avoid the water in order to protect her, but was washed away by the flood.
When she woke up, she only saw Hu Qiang and a few other tribesmen. She looked everywhere but couldn't find Hu Lin.
After staying there for several months and winter was approaching, she had to leave with Hu Qiang and join the current tribe.
From then on, she slowly accepted the fact that Hu Lin had passed away.
She knew that if Hu Lin was still alive, he would definitely come back to find her.
With a flood of that magnitude, the hope of survival was very slim.
Hu Lin hugged Hu Min in his arms, feeling excited and self-blaming:
"I'm sorry, Minmin. It's my fault. I was washed away by the flood and was seriously injured. I was rescued by an orc from another tribe. It took me half a year to recover."
He was so badly injured that a layer of skin fell off his body and one of his legs was broken. If he had not been lucky enough to meet a witch doctor who treated him, he might not have survived that winter.
He didn't say a word of these words, but simply replaced them with the words "he was seriously injured".
"As soon as my injury healed, I went back to look for you, but you were no longer there. I went back to look for you often over the years, and I thought you had already..."
Hu Lin couldn't utter the last two words.
He hugged Hu Min tightly, feeling as if he were in another world.
He murmured with some fear:
"I'm glad you're okay. I won't let this happen again."
A burly, upright male now looked as aggrieved as a cub.
After hearing his words, Hu Min couldn't help but sniff, she knew that although Hu Lin's words sounded lighthearted, it was very likely that he had escaped death.
She couldn't think of blaming anyone.
I just feel thankful that "we are all still alive, that's all."
"Minmin, it's all my fault. I've made you suffer. Where have you been living all these years and how have you been?" Hu Lin's face was full of concern, and he asked in a gentle voice.
Hearing this, Hu Min suddenly remembered what she came out for.
She pushed Hu Lin's shoulders away and used her palm to separate his face from hers. The sadness on her face had been completely replaced by anger.
He asked angrily with a dark face:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Did you capture Ling'er and force her to call you dad?"
Hu Lin was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting, and answered subconsciously:
"Ling'er? Oh, it's that little girl. I brought her back."
He seemed to have heard her say that her name was Long Linger.
But he kept calling her "little girl" all the way instead of her name. It took her a while to realize that Hu Min was talking about her.
When Hu Lin thought of Long Ling'er, he became happy and couldn't wait to share it with Hu Min:
"Minmin, you also know this little girl, that's perfect, I plan to adopt her and raise her as my own child, then we'll have children in the future!"
It becomes difficult for females to give birth to cubs when they get older. Not only is it difficult for them to get pregnant, but the risks of childbirth are several times greater than for young females.
His biggest regret in this life was that he and Minmin could not have a cub.
Now that they have Long Linger, the two of them can raise cubs together!
Hu Lin's face was full of excitement, and he ignored the gnashing of teeth on Hu Min's face.
Hu Min raised her hand and twisted his waist hard, her face red with anger, and she cursed:
"You shameless old man, you still want to adopt Ling'er, he's my grandson!"
