Lin Mu picked up the raincoat on the ground and ran while wearing it, âCasso, hurry up. We must hurry back.â
As they came out of the cave, they saw that the rain was heavy. Because Lin Mu was running in anxiousness, his foot slipped, and he fell down.
*hiss*
Lin Mu looked at his palm that was cut by a sharp stone when he fell, then suddenly he was not in a hurry anymore. He calmed down and felt that itâs normal for someone to come hunting in the mountains, plus they have already left. The valley they are staying in is actually quite hidden, and it canât be detected from above. They just need to beware of someone intruding inadvertently into the valley. But these can only be discussed with Patrik after he returns.
He stretched out his hand and let the rain wash away the dirt. Casso and Qiuqiu have already run ahead, but they returned to sit beside Lin Mu with concern when they saw Lin Mu fell down. Lin Mu rubbed their heads with his unhurt left hand to say he was fine, and he also refused Qiuqiuâs help to lick his wound.
âHehe, itâs alright. Just that my clothes are dirty now.â Itâs not easy to dry clothes in the rainy season. Lin Mu thought about how to dry his clothes when they returned.
It was uncomfortable with his whole body being wet. Lin Mu mumbled, âReally want to take a hot bath. Unfortunately, there is no bathtub nor a place to take a bath. Thinking about it, we are too careless. Should have make space for a room to be used for bathing.â
While feeling some regret in his heart, Lin Mu planned to wash himself upon return. Then, he accidentally saw something hidden in the grass. If Lin Mu didnât fall and pressed down on the grass, he probably would never find it.
Lin Mu looked at the familiar plants doubtfully. âThis should be garlic. Although it is relatively taller than in Earth, it should be.â Lin Mu thought, walking towards those plants. He touched the leaves, and mumbled, âItâs like the leaves of garlic seedlings I bought.â
Lin Mu held a plant in his left hand and pulled. Qiuqiu saw and quickly found one to start digging. Casso saw that they were busy, so it looked around alertly, worrying that some poisonous thing might come out to hurt Lin Mu.
Due to the rain, Lin Mu managed to pull the plant out easily. Seeing the familiar spherical shape of the root, he happily said to the two little ones, âIt is garlic, itâs really garlic. Hehe, I have found another condiment material.â
Qiuqiu took a whiff and threw the plant on the ground in disgust. It couldnât understand how its master would be this happy because of it.
Lin Mu didnât say anything seeing that Qiuqiu didnât like it. The taste of garlic was very pungent, but he believed that Qiuqiu wonât eat any lesser than usual after cooking with it.
âLittle guys, help me get some more back home.â
Lin Mu has spoken; naturally, Qiuqiu and Casso will help out. Carrying the garlic he found, Lin Mu turned to walk back home happily. However, not long after that, he saw a familiar figure coming in this direction.\nThat personâs dark face was abnormally dark.
When the person approached.
âPatrik.â Lin Mu called out guilty.
Patrik sighed inwardly, he didnât know what to do with this person. He wouldnât have come back so early today, just that he found something that might interest Lin Mu. Thinking that that person is really stressed out from being stuck inside these days, he wants to make him happy. He didnât expect to be unable to find Lin Mu when he came back. No one knew where he was! Patrik has never been so furious like he did today. Thinking of the beastmen roaming at the forest these days, Patrik got worried. He knew Lin Muâs temperament, that he usually does everything casually, and didnât know what the danger is. Thinking that he(LM) would be taken away if he encountered another beastman, Patrik was really anxious in his heart. He wanted to go out to find him by following his scent, but there was heavy rain outside, and the smell was already washed away. He irritably wanted to rush out; fortunately, Jason stopped him and told him that Lin Mu should only be in the valley. Casso and Qiuqiu are not here as well, so they should be with him. Patrik immediately sent people out to look in all four directions. He prayed in his heart that nothing will happen to Lin Mu.
He was anxiously looking for âsomeoneâ, but that âsomeoneâ he was looking for is happily walking back without care. But itâs great that he found him, Patrik was relieved. However, in order to make this person learn some lessons, Patrik deliberately tightened his face. He carefully looked at the person from top to bottom. Lin Mu was just a bit dirty, and there werenât any injuries.
Lin Mu smiled dryly, âWell, I just came out to take a breath. Just a bit, really. Hehe, Casso can testify.â AS he said that, he stepped aside to expose Casso to Patrik.
âLin Mu, whereâs your loyalty?â Casso condemned him with its eyes.
Lin Mu squinted his eyes to show his guilt.
Casso cursed Lin Mu in its heart, cursing him that Uncle Patrik would never let him step out of the house again anymore. Wuwuwu, Casso felt very wronged. It was obviously forced.
Patrik watched Casso trembling and doesnât dare to look at him, he then shoots an icy gaze at it and successfully frozen it. As if itâs not enough, he coldly said, âCasso, go back and find me later.â
The Casso that was frozen into ice cubes directly broke into pieces. Casso burst into tears in its heart, âIâm really innocent.â
Qiuqiu stepped forward to comfort it when it saw Casso being so pitiful. Lin Mu felt that Casso is pitiful too, plus it was caused by him. He guiltily reached out to comfort Casso, but his hand was caught by Patrik.
Patrik held Lin Muâs wrist, the wound on his pale white palm was distinct. Although the wound doesnât bleed much anymore, but that still made him extremely irritated, âWhat is this?â
Lin Mu saw that Patrik is really angry, and quickly explained, âItâs just a fall, and I accidentally scratched my palm. Itâs not serious, IâŚâ Seeing Patrik gradually becoming angry, he obediently shut his mouth.
âOn the body also?â He asked, looking at the mud on Lin Muâs body that had not been rinsed off.\nâJust an accident, Iâm alrightâŚâ Fell into silence.
Patrik was furious. Not only Lin Mu ran out secretly, but he also hurt himself. However, worry has overcome anger. It was his incompetence that his female got injured. He stepped forward and carried Lin Mu, and casually threw away the things he held in his arms.
âMy garlic!â Lin Mu exclaimed.
âDonât move!â Patrikâs gaze made Lin Mu nest obediently in his arms.
Lin Mu really didnât like Patrik carrying him with a princess carry. He couldnât understand, he only hurt his hand. Why should Patrik carry him back? His legs are fine ah. But looking at Patrikâs tight face, Lin Mu cleverly said nothing.
No need to walk by himself, Lin Mu became idle. He took the opportunity to think about how to escape the disaster later. In fact, he knew that Patrik became angry because he was worried about him. When he(P) came back and didnât see him(LM), he(P) must be worried to death. Come to think about it, Lin Mu felt that he was quite willful. Itâs dangerous outside, and his little physique couldnât be compared to those humongous beasts, and there are possibilities that other accidents may occur. Think about it today, if he was discovered, it would definitely lead to a battle. The home that they built with much hardship might be going down in flames.
That thought gave Lin Mu a scare. Lin Mu was full of regret in his heart because of his mistakes. He looked at Casso behind him, who did not forget to help him drag the garlic back. It seemed that he also bullied the children. With a low whisper, he said, âPatrik, I was wrong.â
Patrik looked down at the man in his arms, who looked like he is regretting his actions.
âI was wrong, I shouldnât let you worry. AlsoâŚâ Lin Mu looked down, âCasso is innocent, I make it take me out, and it canât stop me. Donât blame Casso.â
Patrik saw that Lin Mu knew that he was wrong, but to make him keep the lesson in mind, he remained cold and silent. Lin Mu had not been exposed to the wild beast and poisonous things, and he did not know how dangerous it was. Thinking about what Lin Mu said about his previous world, it seems that he really doesnât have to worry about the existence of those beasts back then. However, it is different here. Perhaps what Lin Mu always sees was that the prey the beastmen brought back, and it got him(LM) thinking that they are so powerful that they do not have to be afraid of those fierce beasts. In fact, there are many beastman who were killed during hunting. This world is not suitable for the survival of weak females, thatâs why females were so precious. And Lin Mu is his most precious person.
Phil and the rest were anxious when they heard that Lin Mu was gone, and Sasha was feeling quite guilty. He thought about the time when Lin Mu was talking nonsense at the door, he was trying to sneak out then. It would be nice if he stopped him at that time. They were relieved to see Patrik managed to find Lin Mu back. They wanted to go forward and ask, but when they saw their tribe leaderâs cold expression and Lin Mu being obediently silent, they didnât dare to step forward.
Walking past them while carrying Lin Mu, Patrik said, âPhil, get some herbs to stop bleeding.â They have some freshly picked yesterday.
When Phil heard Patrik asking for herbs to stop bleeding, he guessed that Lin Mu is injured. He hoped it wasnât severe, otherwise not sure how long their tribe leader would keep that dark face.
Lin Mu was placed on the bed to handle the wound carefully. He actually thinks itâs nothing. After all, the wound has been cleaned with water. But looking at Patrik with his icy face on the side, Lin Mu obediently let Phil help him treat the wound.
After the wound was wrapped, Phil smiled at Lin Mu, âThe wound is not serious, and it will be fine soon.â Phil said this mainly to Patrik, hoping that their tribe leader would not be so angry. It was terrifying thinking back of how upset he got today. Then Phil gave Lin Mu a âgood luckâ look and went out.\nThinking of the size he just touched, and recalled back of the pain he suffered last time, Lin Mu compromised. He comforted himself in his heart, it doesnât matter, just think it as a wooden rodâŚ
