A tall, slender figure appeared beneath a tree, looking up and calling out, "Little sister, why are you crying?"
It was Shen Yun. He had heard that his sister-in-law and sister had gone into the mountains to gather herbs and, fearing for their safety, had hurried over.
He was still catching his breath, panting heavily as he clutched his chest.
"Big brother, please save sister-in-law. She led the bear away to save me," Shen Xiaomei cried even harder as soon as she saw her elder brother, all her fear surging forth.
Shen Yun's heart sank at her words. Pointing at a figure that had appeared behind her, he said, "Little sister, you go back with Uncle and Junior Uncle. I'll go find her." He then chased in the direction Shen Xiaomei pointed.
The grass and trees ahead were dense, and he lost his bearings. Looking closely, he saw a few traces of blood on the grass and thought that Su Xiaoqi must be injured.
He followed the bloodstains and soon heard her shouting.
"Ah… damn bear, get lost, get lost…" Su Xiaoqi yelled as she ran.
Shen Yun hurried over, grabbed her, covered her mouth with one hand, signaled to her, and then backed away.
Su Xiaoqi's cries stopped, and the surroundings fell silent.
The agitated black bear paused, looking around.
It lowered its head to the low bushes
