"ah!"
The other party cried out in pain and relaxed his grip. Huang Tian took the opportunity to break free and fell into the river.
He couldn't swim and was afraid of water. There was a look of fear on his face, but he still tried to calm himself down. He waved his hands and feet in the water panically and hurriedly, and slowly crawled towards the shore.
In a panic, Huang Tian saw Xiao Shitou and the others in the distance and opened his mouth to call for help.
"Little Stone, save..."
But before he could scream, a hand grabbed his hair and pulled him back violently, causing him to fall into the water again.
The man held his head and pushed him hard into the water.
Huang Tian felt as if his chest was filled with water, and a feeling of despair rose in his heart.
Just when he was about to suffocate, he was pulled up by the other party again.
He was coughing violently, his half-long hair was messy and stuck to his face, and a somewhat crazy and hateful voice came to his ears.
"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
"I'm going to kill you. I want to avenge my partner..."
Huang Tian quickly looked away and then saw the other person's appearance.
She was a female who was a few years older than Hu Jiaojiao. She had unkempt hair and bloodshot eyes, and a face as ferocious as a man-eating beast. The fingernails of the finger that was grabbing him were full of black, dirty dirt.
Almost in an instant, Huang Tian felt that this female looked a little familiar.
After a moment of distraction, he quickly remembered.
He seemed to often encounter this female in the tribe. No matter where he was, he would always happen to see her standing among the orcs.
He thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect that the other party was following him on purpose.
"Let me go..."
Huang Tian was forced to raise his head, and the pain in his scalp made him grimace.
He grabbed the other person's wrist and spoke with difficulty.
"Who are you? I don't know you. Why... do you want to kill me..."
Huang Tian sensed the obvious murderous intent in her eyes and struggled to escape.
The look in her eyes was different from the rejection and disgust that the orcs in the tribe showed him. This female's eyes were full of hatred, and he didn't understand when he had offended her.
It’s just that the female is stronger than he imagined.
Before he could break free, the female pressed him into the water again.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Bubbles kept appearing on the water surface.
The female finally spoke.
"Who am I? How dare you ask me who I am?"
She sneered sharply, and her wet hair crawled over her face like black snakes, densely packed and extremely hideous.
"Houyue killed my mate with her own hands, leaving my cub without a father right after it was born."
"Do you know that when Huang Yue killed him, I was still pregnant? How did I survive this winter?"
"You are Huang Yue's only brother. All this is because of you. I will kill you and avenge my partner with my own hands!"
Huang Tian felt like he was struck by lightning.
The suffocation in the chest is not as severe as the mental trauma.
There was a buzzing in his head, and his struggling movements gradually became less intense.
So... So that's how it is.
For his sake, my sister really hurt a lot of orcs. It was all his fault. If it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't have done these.
The female became more and more frantic as she spoke. She kept pulling Huang Tian out of the water and pushing him back in, repeatedly making him experience the pain of suffocation.
But before long, she discovered that Huang Tian had stopped struggling.
"The brother that Huang Yue wanted to protect turned out to be so useless? He was unable to bear it after just a short while." She sneered, lifted Huang Tian up, and put her wet face close to him.
"Ahem..."
Huang Tian drank a bellyful of water and couldn't help coughing.
It was as if I was going to cough out my entire lung.
He weakly raised his head and looked at the terrifying female in front of him, his eyes full of guilt.
Apologize to her weakly:
"S-Sorry..."
The female shuddered at his words.
She looked at him in surprise and asked in astonishment, "What did you say?"
Huang Tian's clear eyes were brighter than spring water. He stared at the female without blinking. His voice was intermittent, but full of sincerity.
He said apologetically:
"I said... I'm sorry, it's my fault. My sister made you suffer so much. I am willing to make amends for my sister."
"You, you want revenge, just kill me. I won't struggle. I am willing to bear all this for my sister."
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if he was ready to face death.
Huang Tian’s reaction completely stunned the female.
She looked at Huang Tian with a dull gaze, at the male cub in front of her who was only a little over ten years old, with a look of determination and brokenness on his face, without the slightest fear of dying.
Those pure and kind eyes are like the purest clouds and snow in the world, without a single stain, making it impossible for people to bring themselves to destroy this beauty.
The female just felt as if something was broken in her heart.
It's her revenge plan.
She couldn't do it!
The female gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with despair. She angrily pushed Huang Tian away and fell into the river.
The running water washed her face and her body.
She looked up at the sky through the water in despair and silently covered her face.
"Why... why did I have to go through all this, why me!!"
The female knelt in the river, screaming at the top of her lungs.
Huang Tian also looked at her in surprise, "Big sister, I..."
He stood up from the river, fell down again, and tried hard to get close to the female.
But the female turned around and fled in a panic.
It was as if she had forgotten her purpose.
Only a long, endless trail of water was left on the shore.
Huang Tian wanted to chase after them and apologize, but as soon as he climbed ashore, he heard the worried voices of the cubs and Hu Jiaojiao in the distance.
"Xiaotian!"
He turned around and saw Hu Jiaojiao running towards him with a worried look on her face.
"Xiaotian, what's going on? How did you fall into the river? What happened just now?"
Hu Jiaojiao asked as she checked Huang Tian with concern to see if he was injured.
Huangtian glanced at the direction the female left, lowered his head and shook his head.
"I'm fine, fairy sister."
He pinched the corner of his clothes unconsciously with his hands and explained hesitantly.
"Just now... I wanted to go upstream to clean the prey, but I accidentally fell into the river. I walked too far, and Xiao Shitou and the others couldn't hear me. I finally climbed up, and you came over."
Huang Tian explained in a low voice, not daring to look into Hu Jiaojiao's eyes.
Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
She glanced at the water stains on the ground. It was obvious that Huang Tian was not alone here just now.
But seeing that Huang Tian didn't seem to want to say it, she didn't continue asking.
This little guy is thoughtful and has his own ideas, so asking him too many questions would not be a good idea.
"I'm glad you're okay. Come back with me and change into a clean set of animal skins. Remember to be careful next time and don't fall into the river again."
Hu Jiaojiao pulled him up and spoke gently.
