Thunder River Tribe.
Under Hu Lin's arrangement, the females and cubs were taken to a separate large cave with more than twenty independent caves, which was a world of difference compared to the previous small and broken cave.
Not only that, Hu Lin also ordered people to send a lot of supplies over.
"These are all the supplies from our Leihe tribe. Consider them as compensation to you. Don't worry, no orcs will threaten your safety in the future."
Hu Lin made a promise to everyone very sincerely.
Minmin’s people are his people, and they are also the benefactors who help him take care of Minmin. He will not treat them unfairly.
Seeing his sincerity and good attitude, the females said nothing.
He is Hu Min's partner. If they quarrel too much, it will make Hu Min very embarrassed.
"Chief, when will you bring our partners here?" Hou Xiang asked puzzledly while holding the two monkey cubs.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other females looked over, their eyes full of anticipation.
During this journey, they basically did not see their partners except when there was an avalanche. Several females were pregnant and were dependent on their partners.
Now that they are safe, they are even more eager to see their partners.
Hu Min also looked at Hu Lin and asked curiously, "Yes, when will you let them out? Hu Qiang is also there."
Ever since Ling'er reminded her, Hu Lin has been avoiding the topic and being vague about it.
Hu Lin's eyes dodged, his eyeballs swayed left and right, and he laughed dryly twice, "Soon, soon..."
Hu Min caught the flash of depression in his eyes and asked suspiciously:
"Are you deliberately not wanting to let them out?"
She suddenly remembered that this guy had been at odds with Hu Qiang twenty years ago, and the two had never said a nice word to each other when they were together. She had reason to suspect that he did it on purpose.
Hu Lin smiled awkwardly and explained guiltily:
"How could that be? I have to settle you down first so I can take care of them. Males are not as important as you."
But he was unhappy in his heart. He and Minmin hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years. Before they could properly catch up, that guy Hu Qiang had to interfere.
It's just like back then, the ghost is still lingering!
"Then go and bring them here quickly. Several of our females are pregnant and waiting to meet their mates!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Min pulled his shoulders over and pushed him out of the cave.
Females feel very insecure when they are pregnant, and this is when they need the company of a partner the most.
She had given birth to cubs, and back then she only had one partner, Hu Qiang, by her side. Because Hu Qiang had to hunt, she often stayed alone in the tribe. She knew how uneasy it felt, and didn't want these females to go through the same experience again.
When Hu Lin heard this, he felt that she was just making up an excuse to meet Hu Qiang, and he went out reluctantly.
Not long after, Hu Qiang, Hu Qinglu and other orcs who were imprisoned in another cave were brought here.
"Xiao Min!"
"mother!"
As soon as they saw Hu Min, they rushed over excitedly and pushed Hu Lin aside.
The three of them huddled together, asking about each other's well-being.
On the way here, Hu Lin had someone explain the situation to them. The males found their partners one after another and gathered in groups of three or four. Many of the orcs had tears in their eyes.
Not to mention females, even males miss their partners.
"Xiangxiang, are you and Zizi okay?" Hou Xiaotiao immediately rushed to Hou Xiang and hugged her and Zizi. He was so excited that he couldn't hold back his tears.
"I'm fine. My baby and I are both fine, thanks to Aunt Min and Lu Mian'er for their help on the road." Hou Xiang smiled and shook her head, showing him the baby monkey in her arms.
Although the monkey cubs are not white and fat, they are not malnourished and look very healthy. It is obvious that they are being well cared for.
Monkey Xiaotiao heard this and looked at the two of them gratefully;
"Aunt Min, Lu Mian'er, thank you for taking care of Xiangxiang on the way."
Hu Min quickly waved her hand, "What do you mean by taking care of me? Hou Xiang helped me a lot on the way, so why are you being polite?"
If it weren't for Hou Xiang's help on the road, she might not have been able to get here.
Lu Mian'er also smiled gently and shook her head:
"We are all from the same tribe, so we should help each other."
Hou Xiaotiao didn't say anything, but he kept this favor in his heart and thought that if he had the chance to return to the tribe in the future, he would definitely repay the two of them.
Lu Mian'er looked at everyone with a gentle smile, but a trace of loneliness flashed across her gentle face.
Everyone's partner is here, only she is alone.
I don't know how Ying Yuan is doing now, whether he has come to see her, and whether he will encounter danger on the way...
Lu Mian'er lowered her eyes slightly, a look of worry appearing on her face.
Here, Hu Lin couldn't help it, so he grabbed Hu Qiang's back, pulled him away from Hu Min, and inserted himself between the two of them.
"Okay, it's not like we won't have a chance to talk later. Minmin is tired, can't you let her rest for a while?"
He looked at Hu Qiang with dissatisfaction.
Hu Qiang's attention has always been on Hu Min. Hearing the voice, he slapped Hu Lin's hand away and pushed his shoulder unhappily.
"What are you doing? What's wrong with Xiao Min being happy to talk to me?" He rolled his eyes at Hu Lin and reached out his hand to poke his arm hard.
The tone of teaching:
"It's you who brought us all the way here and made Xiao Min suffer so much. If Xiao Min gets sick because of this, can you afford to pay for it?"
He already knew that this guy was the culprit who forced them to leave their hometown.
"I..." When Hu Min's safety was mentioned, Hu Lin was like a deflated balloon and was speechless for a moment.
"I didn't mean to do that."
He refuted with a weak tone, then looked at Hu Min and said flatteringly:
"Minmin, don't worry. I will teach the orcs who captured you a lesson and avenge you. If anyone bullies you on the road, just tell me."
Hu Qiang wanted to say something, but Hu Min had already pulled the two of them apart and stopped him:
"Alright, alright, it's been twenty years, why are you two still like this? You haven't made any progress. You are both grandfathers, aren't you ashamed to let the cubs laugh at you?"
The two of them subconsciously glanced at Hu Qinglu and Long Linger who were watching them silently. Their old faces turned red, they looked at each other, snorted coldly, and turned to look in the opposite direction.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Hu Min frowned and looked at Hu Lin seriously.
"My cub is still in the tribe. She must be worried about us. When will you ask them to send us back?"
Although she and Hu Lin were partners, she had never thought of staying here and not going back.
The tribe where she had lived for twenty years was not something she could easily abandon, not to mention that Jiaojiao was waiting for her in the tribe. Since there was no danger now, she should go back as soon as possible to avoid making Jiaojiao worry.
“This…” Hu Lin hesitated and didn’t want to answer after hearing this.
