Nature is cruel, and it doesn't open its eyes just because it's the child of the king of the forest.

One day, the black bear couple is gone, and the little black bear is also old, and the little black bear that lacks hind legs is likely to be bullied or even killed by other prime-aged black bears.

Because, it's disabled.

Because, it is weak.

Of course, it is not impossible for it to become stronger, it also has the opportunity to compete for the position of king of the forest, but it has three legs, and it must work dozens of times as hard as other black bears to barely win the qualification to compete with other healthy black bears.

It's a hard and long road, painful and lonely.

Smeared with herbs and bandaged the wound, I sat side by side with the black bear, patting it on the back and comforting it.

The black bear sat quietly on a stake, throwing a bitter berry into his mouth.

This is a manifestation of its sadness.

I ate handfuls of berries and ate them until dusk.

As the huge claws fell, countless berries slipped from between the fingers, and a glimmer of light finally appeared in the black bear's lackluster eyes.

It got up first, went to the hollow of the tree, and whispered to the mother bear for a long time.

At first, the mother bear behaved very violently, but gradually, its roar became smaller and weaker, and finally, it silently got up, crawled in front of the disabled little black bear, slowly held it in its arms, and the crystal liquid slipped from the corner of its eye.

It was a drop of motherly love.

Although something sad happened today, the black bear has not forgotten its hospitality.

Honey and berries, fresh fish and game, a table was filled.

After a great feast, and resting for a while, it was time to part.

Separately, always sad.

The black bear hugged me and cried, not only because he was reluctant to let me go, but also to express his inner grief.

The orc king just said goodbye politely to the black bear couple, after all, he and the couple were not familiar with each other, so they didn't need to be too affectionate and exaggerated.

Before leaving, the mother bear was reluctant to send the disabled bear to us and roared in a low voice.

The little black bear was lame and crying, holding the hind legs of the mother bear and not letting go of its claws, but it was kicked out several meters away by the mother bear, rolled more than a dozen times, and hit a tree.

The lame little black bear limped back again, only this time, it did not run to the mother bear again, but sat between me and the orc king, looking at the mother bear with teary eyes, and let out a mournful scream.

The mother bear did not look back, but hid behind the black bear and did not look at the little black bear again.

The black bear watched all this quietly, and when the little black bear stopped barking, it silently stepped forward and made a few gestures at me.

I was silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised my hand and gave a thumbs up.

The black bear understood, stroked the little black bear's head, took his family, and turned back.

"Is it asking you to help raise the child?" The orc king, who had been silently watching the black bear family, said in a deep voice.

"No," I shook my head, "and it was telling me that although it was missing a leg, it was still the child of the King of the Forest, and that it loved and was proud of it." ”

At this point, I sighed deeply and said, "He's a good father." ”

The orc king looked at the back of the black bear family that disappeared into the night, and muttered, "It is also a qualified king. ”

Take the little black bear all the way home.

Before he entered the door, he heard Cagalli complaining: "Even if he is crazy, how can he still run away with my father!" What time is it? ”

My eyes twitched, I glanced at the orc king, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, father-in-law, go back first, I will go to the palace tonight." ”

The orc king smiled and said, "Why, I don't even have this courage anymore?" ”

"Yes, father-in-law, you're right" I said with a bitter face, "I'm really afraid, every time Cagalli and they get angry, they will be hung up and beaten by me, do you know what it means to be hung up and beaten?" It is to wrap me in a big quilt, wrap the big quilt with a rope, and then tie the other end of the rope to the beam of the house, and don't let me down all night, and I have to hold my urine if I have it, that taste...... It's hard to put into words. ”

Just as I sighed and was about to run away, there was a soft creak, the door opened, and Cagalli, who had raised her eyebrows, stood at the door with an angry face in her arms, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing at the door, why haven't you come in?" ”

The calm tone indicated the coming storm, I was frightened, held my head in my hands, and hurriedly said: "There is a reason why I came back late today, really, you must listen to my explanation!" ”

After being silent for a long time, Cagalli said slowly: "Okay." ”

I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the little black bear, and walked to the tree house.

The orc king followed me, and he also wanted to break into the house, when he heard a gentle word, and floated out of the living room: "You stand outside first." ”

I subconsciously stopped, but saw Cagalli frowning, and said, "The queen mother is talking about my father, what are you mixing with, come in quickly, otherwise I won't give you a chance to explain!" ”

As if I had been pardoned, I hugged the little black bear, walked into the house quickly, and when the door was closed, I smiled apologetically at the orc king, and said, "Father-in-law, you have suffered, but this is the order of your mother-in-law, and I can't help my son-in-law." ”

The Orc King glared at me, then sighed deeply, leaning against the door, looking up at the stars with sad eyes.

When I got home, I first handed over the little black bear to Godot for healing, and then told everyone what had happened today.

Everyone sighed a lot, some were deeply saddened by what happened to the little black bear, some expressed their understanding for the choice of the king of the forest, and Billy, the second goods, only cared about the lost bear paw, and regretted that he had lost a chance to eat braised bear paws.

These words instantly aroused the anger of the women, and Cagalli even threatened: "If you say this kind of thing again, you will chop up your feet and take them to the braised blood!" ”

After that, the orc queen asked me, "How did he behave along the way, husband?" ”

In front of my future mother-in-law, I didn't dare to lie, so I had to answer truthfully.

After hearing this, the orc queen bowed her head and said, "It's good, it's like a king." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Call him in." ”

I staggered to open the door and invited the orc king in.

The cause and effect were clear, Cagalli forgave me for my late return, and then everyone talked about the fate of the little black bear.

Phoenix likes little black bears, but Squeak, who is the mascot of the Dreadnought Guild, is very unfriendly to it.

Others said that it didn't matter, anyway, the bear didn't grab food from them, and didn't occupy their sleeping place, so what to do with it.

In this way, the question of the fate of the little black bear was put on hold for the time being.

But now, there is a more important problem in front of us, and that is - the little black bear is too dirty, and the body smell is quite large, and it needs to be cleaned immediately.

To compensate for the mistake of returning late, I was entrusted with the task of cleaning the little black bear.

Looking at this little black bear covered in lice and smelling all over my body, I only felt a pain in my brain.
