Chapter 121 A Beauty (3)

Hu'er blinked and looked left and right. Min He laughed at her reaction. "It's alright. Think how you can tell me. I'll give it to you sometime. I'll get some berries first." Min He left her alone.

Min He never asked her like that which made her unable to think immediately. He did surprise her.

Hu'er stopped thinking about it and began organizing her thoughts. Once she finished it and knew how much to tell him, he came back with one big basket of berries and some are in a bowl.

"Here, you can have this basket of berries. Eat it whenever, just make sure to wash it first." He gave her the basket.

She took it from him. "Thank you." Put the basket beside her, planning to eat it later. "Where did this berry come from? Is it harvesting time?"

Min He shook his head, "Not yet. It's from our trade. We traded some from the Monkey Tribe. They went here three days ago."

"Oh…" she nodded. Just like their tribe, the others have their own trading team. They would also go out when they need stuff, especially food.

"This one is for us to eat now. So… have you thought about it?" Min He sat back and smiled at her. Hu'er didn't shy out and took some berries from the bowl.

She nodded, "Yes. It's about Jia Wei. If it's not a mistake… Jia Wei should be pregnant now with a little female. For the last three seasons only she got pregnant with a little female."

Before she could continue speaking, Min He said, "Now it made sense." He was nodding as if he already knew what happened.

Dumbfound, "Ah?"

Min He ate one berry before explaining, "Although the tribe never really lacks salt. We always made sure that a bucket of it was full and that there were still some in a big cup. Once there is no extra and we start to take some in the bucket, it is when traders will go out to trade for some salt.

The Swan Tribe is the closest to the Fish Tribe in the Aquatic Tribe. It is also where almost every tribe nearby there and our tribe go to trade some salt.

If they never welcomed a little female for the past three whole seasons then one of their females got pregnant with a little female, and they would protect her with all their strength. Meaning they won't get out of their tribe and let other tribes go to them for trade. They did that thrice and I went there twice. Now, it's their fourth time.

Tribes will go there for trade soon. Luckily, we went there early." In between, he would get some berries and talk. He is very casual and comfortable.

Suddenly he asked something she never expected, "Did the little female die?"

"....Yes. How did Daddy know?"

Min He sheepishly grins, "I heard Jia Ting shout at you about his cousin and unborn cousin. Then, when Jiu Hu and Jia Ting… talked… he said the word 'will die' when I passed by."

He didn't actually pass by. He stood there and watched them fight. With those two that he heard, it made him move and stop Jiu Hu from beating Jia Ting.

Min He didn't know the main thing that happened but only based on what he heard and Jia Ting's personality. He would only react like that if something happened that triggered it. And the trigger is none other than the knowledge that his female cousin will die.

Hu'er took a deep breath and told him, "The little female's death is not natural. Someone stimulated Jia Wei into miscarrying the baby."

Min, He froze. He purses his lips. "Jia Wei…. Jia Wei is a beauty. She was acknowledged as the prettiest female of the Swan Tribe. She got her heat exactly on her tenth birthday and mated with the tribe leader's youngest son.

Jia Wei didn't get pregnant immediately, so she didn't want to mate with someone and stayed with just one mate. Not until she got pregnant. Her firstborn was supposed to be a female. But the little female also died."

Hu'er is looking at him intently. The way Min He said that made him know that it wasn't simple. Something should have happened.

He continues, "Jia Ting just transformed and celebrated with his mom, Lu Fengsi. After that day, he hunted for her with Jia Cheng for a day and gave it to Lu Fengsi Family.

At that time, Jia Ting and your Mom already promised each other, so Jia Ting has also given your mom some meat and his harvest in the forest.

On the second day, they went out of the tribe to go to Swan Tribe. According to the recounting of Jia Cheng. He and Jia Ting encountered many wild animals and fruits. He gave half of it to Jia Wei to entrust his son, Jia Ting to her as he trade with other tribes that is farther than the Swan Tribe.

When he came back, the Swan Tribe is in mess. Several wild animals attacked their tribe. Jia Wei was injured and her first child, a little female died.

Jia Wei's mate glared at him but didn't tell him what happened. It was Jia Ting who was crying and informed him that Jia Wei ran to save him from a wild animal. The wild animal didn't attack her successfully as Jia Wei's mate tanked it.

But the female's body is very fragile especially when pregnant. Jia Wei miscarried the time she ran to Jia Ting.

Jia Ting has always blamed himself for the death of his cousin, he always thinks that he was the reason why the little female died. Jia Wei has consoled him several times that it was her choice to save him yet until now that knot is still there in Jia Ting's heart and mind.

Jia Wei never blamed Jia Ting. The mate of Jia Wei was just angry and sad that day but didn't really blame him. However, Jia Ting never came to the Swan Tribe anymore. He will only watch Jia Wei from afar, with guilt.

Jia Cheng has stayed from the Swan Tribe for the whole season. It is to help them build a wall. He also felt guilty about what happened. Since he couldn't bring back the dead, he can only help them build up their tribe back."
