Chapter 651 - Educating Our Son
“You…” Gu Mengmeng was very confused as she asked, “Why are you here?”
“I was worried for you….guys. So I sought help from Barete to take care of my tribesmen temporarily first. I’ll head back to Sauder once I see you return to Saint Nazaire safely. This period of time, Barete provided my tribesmen with a lot of prey so I’ll compensate him back more before winter.” Burke looked up at Gu Mengmeng while still sitting under the tree. He smiled slightly but did not dare to move any closer to her.
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head, implying that she understood. Then, she glanced at Elvis and then Lea before asking, “Who was the one who hung Kanwu on the tree?”
“It was me.” Elvis said with a husky voice.
Gu Mengmeng frowned before turning around to meet Elvis’s dark blue eyes.
He suffered injuries on his body because of her selfish self so Gu Mengmeng could only clamp her lips together, not bearing to blame him at all as she swallowed more than half of her words back into her stomach. “Our kid is still young, we can teach him slowly if he made any mistakes. Put him down first.”
Elvis stepped two steps forward, stopping before Kanwu. He turned around and leaned against the tree trunk. The sunlight gave off mottling rays through the layers of trees, landing around him as he supported his long fingers on Kanwu’s back, pushing him casually. “Little rascal, do you think you can come down now?”
Kanwu bit his lip and swung there for half a day before firmly controlling his body with much difficulty. Raising his head willfully to look at Gu Mengmeng, his azure blue eyes looked as clean and clear as the skies that were washed by water so much so until the tint of sorrow was visible in them.
Gu Mengmeng’s heart throbbed after looking at Kanwu’s eyes and she instinctively stretched her hand out to hug and comfort him. But she did not even lift her hand up when she heard Kanwu speak with a strong nasal voice, “Mummy, I’m sorry. It was my overestimation for rushing into the battlefield that implicated you into danger. Our fellow tribesmen had paid a painful price for my rash actions and you had also been unconscious for two days and two nights….I had made a mistake so I should receive punishment. Please do not plead for me and let me shoulder this responsibility myself.”
Gu Mengmeng’s heart ached terribly. Lea seemed like he could read her mind as he carried her to Kanwu. Gu Mengmeng hugged Kanwu tightly and patted his back, comforting, “You foolish boy, this is not your fault. You just want to protect your Mother and tribesmen from the stray beasts’ sudden attack. This is not wrong, so you can’t be blamed for it…..”
The tears that Kanwu had held for two whole days instantly flowed out upon hearing Gu Mengmeng’s gentle and warm words. He wailed out loud at the top of his voice and until he could not make any more sounds, he then looked like he was about to lose his breath with a reddened face.
Gu Mengmeng felt her heart breaking into pieces as she hurriedly pacified him, “Kanwu don’t cry, don’t cry, be good….”
Snap.
The tree vine that hung Kanwu up the tree broke. Gu Mengmeng did not have any mental preparation and also lacked the energy to catch Kanwu so in the end, Kanwu crashed to the ground pathetically. This fall made Kanwu dumbfounded as he even forgot to cry and just looked blankly with his azure blue eyes at Elvis who was standing tall like the clouds in the sky, not knowing how to react.
Elvis turned his head to the side and frowned. With a cold gaze, his whole figure emitted a dark aura. It was not an exaggeration to say that he looked like he could stomp Kanwu to death the next second.
“As a wolf, you actually cried until this dumb state…..and you’re still my son, it really makes me feel displeased.”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to shield Kanwu but Lea gestured a silent motion before whispering into Gu Mengmeng’s ear, “Believe Elvis, he has his own motive.”
