Bab 1078: It Was Suicide To Snatch Food From A Tiger's Mouth.

Gu Mengmeng nodded with understanding. She thought: it was suicide to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.

Auretin continued. "Even with Barete and I back here to hold the fort, this rainy season was tough going. Wave after wave of thieves and robbers came forth. During the day, land beasts would patrol while the Eagle-owl tribe would stand guard at night. At the first signs of any trouble, everyone would immediately be prepped for battle. Even so, nearly half of our foodstuff were stolen… luckily after last year's experience, we had prepared extra portions. So even though a lot had been stolen, we still had more or less enough to last everyone through the winter season."

Gu Mengmeng nodded. She felt slightly comforted at that fact.
