Chapter 29 Are You Happy to See Me?

When Xiao Yan came back, he saw Shen Xiaoxiao surrounded in the middle. His heart tightened, and he quickly walked through the crowd to Shen Xiaoxiao's side. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved and asked, "What happened?"

The others were silent for a while. After all, they couldn't say that Shen Xiaoxiao taught them to make straw sandals, but they suspected that she had bad intentions.

Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's okay, let's go back." Although Xiao Yan didn't believe it, he didn't say anything and left the crowd with Shen Xiaoxiao.

After returning to the cave, Shen Xiaoxiao handed him the straw sandals, "Try it, these are straw sandals, wear them on your feet." Xiao Yan instantly understood what happened just now. He put on the straw sandals according to what Shen Xiaoxiao said and walked two steps. He looked at his feet in surprise and said happily, "Did you think of this too?"

"Does it fit?" It should be wearable.

"Well, thank you, Xiaoxiao." Then he said, "Is it because they want to learn from you that they surrounded you?"

"No, I spent the whole day making straw sandals with Aunt Axiang and the others." Shen Xiaoxiao said easily, Xiao Yan was puzzled. If that was the case, why was the atmosphere so tense just now?

But seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao didn't mean to say anything, Xiao Yan didn't ask any more questions. If there was really something, he was there.

"How was your trip into the mountains today? Did you find anything?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked with concern. Xiao Yan shook his head. He didn't find anything, but he clearly felt that something was staring at them yesterday. If Xiaoxiao hadn't been by his side, he would have gone to check it out.

Shen Xiaoxiao believed in Xiao Yan's intuition. After all, he could lead the tribe to hunt, and his perception of danger was definitely different from that of ordinary people, but he didn't find anything today, which was strange.

It stands to reason that since he had been watching them all the way, if he had any intention, he would definitely continue to watch them today, so why didn't he show up today? Or was it just an accident yesterday?

But she felt that it was not very likely. After all, Xiao Yan said that he was being watched all the way. If he was just passing by, how could he have been watching them all the time?

Was he coming for her? Shen Xiaoxiao was not sure, and she felt that this possibility was not great. After all, she had not offended anyone, so how could someone be watching her all the way?

But if he was not coming for her, why didn't he show up today?

"Then I will go into the mountain with you tomorrow." We will know tomorrow whether he is coming for her or not. Instead of being scared every day, it is better to take the initiative and know what the other party wants to do, so that it is easier to deal with it.

If the other party really wants to do something to her, unless she does not leave the tribe, but according to her relationship with other people in the tribe, even if she is in the tribe, they may not know if she is missing. It is better to stay with Xiao Yan, so that even if something happens, Xiao Yan will know it at the first time.

Xiao Yan obviously thought of it, but he did not want to put Shen Xiaoxiao in danger, "I will see tomorrow. If there is nothing unusual, you can go into the mountain with me."

Shen Xiaoxiao was not very willing, but Xiao Yan insisted, so she had no choice but to agree.

Although they had eaten separately from the tribesmen, other people's eyes still fell on them when they appeared, especially the males who were curious about the straw sandals on Xiao Yan's feet, but they did not come forward.

After dinner, Shen Xiaoxiao simply washed and rested.

The next day, after Xiao Yan entered the mountain, Shen Xiaoxiao finished sewing the unfinished animal skin clothes. She made a vest, folded it and put it aside, and then she left the cave. After yesterday's interaction, Ah Xiang and others greeted her naturally, and Shen Xiaoxiao responded with a smile.

Yesterday, Xiao Yan brought back another batch of firewood, so she planned to burn pottery and make pots and bowls, so that she didn't have to eat barbecue every day. Although she ate different meats, she felt a little greasy.

Shen Xiaoxiao walked towards the river, and Ah Xiang thought she just wanted to cut reeds to make straw sandals. She thought she would cut some and make two pairs of straw sandals for the males and cubs later, so she didn't ask more questions.

Shen Xiaoxiao came to the river and found a relatively clean place. She cleared the weeds on it, dug the soil with a sharpened stick, and then carefully cleaned the grass roots and stones inside. She dug for a while before stopping, and then used her hands to splash the water in the river on the dug mud.

Seeing that it was almost done, she squatted down to knead the mud. Suddenly, a shadow covered her. She originally thought it was Aunt Xiang and the others. When she looked up and was about to speak, she saw an unexpected person. Her pupils dilated slightly, and she couldn't believe why he was here.

"Little mute, are you happy to see me?" Li Chuan smiled, "Or maybe I shouldn't call you little mute, after all, your voice is so nice, how can you be a mute." There seemed to be danger in the voice.

Shen Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. How could he know that she clearly didn't reveal any flaws that day. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, "That day you were the one who followed us all the time?" Although it was a question, there was certainty in her tone.

"Finally you're not pretending to be dumb?" Li Chuan snorted, "You can talk, why do you pretend to be dumb?"

Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes secretly, thinking, I'm pretending to be dumb, how can you still be so talkative? If you knew I could talk, wouldn't you be able to talk nonstop?

"I never talk, I don't know how to talk." Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him and said indifferently, "What are you doing here?" If the people of the tribe saw them together, and there was another accident, the little trust that had just been established would collapse.

"Little mute, I came to find you." Li Chuan looked at her steadily, "Come with me, be a female for me."

Shen Xiaoxiao stopped pretending and rolled her eyes. "I don't know you, why should I go with you? And I already have a male." The advantage of fake marriage is that it can be used as a shield.

"Are you talking about Xiao Yan?" Li Chuan looked sarcastic. Shen Xiaoxiao was about to say something, but she noticed his expression and swallowed the words that were about to come out, because his expression did not seem to have a good relationship with Xiao Yan.

"He didn't even dare to let you into the mountains. He can't protect you at all." Li Chuan looked disdainful, "Come with me, I can protect you." As he said that, he wanted to pull her over, but Shen Xiaoxiao jumped away and dodged.

"It's not up to you to protect or not. If you don't leave, I'll call for help." Shen Xiaoxiao looked cold, but Li Chuan didn't care. "Even if you call for help, what's the matter? Do you think I can't take you away before they come? Or do you think Xiao Yan can show up and save you immediately?"

Shen Xiaoxiao bit her lip lightly. She knew that what Li Chuan said was true. Even if she called for help, Aunt Xiang and the others would not react so quickly.

"Will you come with me?" Li Chuan said coldly, as if he would use force if she disagreed.

Shen Xiaoxiao's heart sank, and as soon as she moved, she saw Li Chuan looking at her warily, "I can wash my hands, right?" She raised her muddy hands helplessly.

Li Chuan didn't say anything, and Shen Xiaoxiao put her hands into the river and slowly washed them, her eyes lowered, and she kept thinking about how to get out.
