He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

He Zhenzhen scrambled to her feet in a disheveled state, pulled up her waistband to cover her white belly, and then felt a chill run down her spine.

"Yeah, why didn't I think about it properly just now? Although we saved a big black bear and did a good deed—it's a nationally protected animal, and the town government might even give us a reward for saving it—but..."

"But once we're rescued, what if... what if it does something to us?"

As he spoke, he darted behind Niu Bayi.

Niu Bayi deliberately slipped behind her as well.

He said with a grin, "You're the one who rescued it, so you have to protect me."

He Zhenzhen pouted and quickly slipped behind him, tightly gripping his clothes and pushing him forward.

I'm determined not to let him keep hiding behind my back.

"You're a real man, my man! No matter what, you have to protect me and hold the line!"

Niu Bayi laughed heartily, picked up a wooden stick, and prepared to protect his wife.

He was somewhat wary of the big black bear, but not too afraid.

After drinking the coconut water from the spatial dimension, who in this world am I afraid of?!

The black bear sat blankly on the deck, and after a while, it came to its senses. It didn't pounce on them, but instead raised its head and sniffed around as if it had caught a whiff of something.

Then, it climbed to the edge of a cover, stretched out its paws, and pried at it. With great difficulty, it lifted it up slightly, creating a small gap, but then accidentally slammed it back down.

Several times, the black bear almost got its paws smashed, making it howl in anger.

It turned its head to look at Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen, and began to wail.

The voice carried a sense of sorrow, making it instantly understandable to anyone who heard it.

The black bear is saying: I'm hungry, please give me some food!

Of course, this was also in line with Black Bear's behavior just now, which is why Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen could understand it.

He Zhenzhen said, both amused and annoyed, "Brother Xiong, you've gone too far! We finally managed to rescue you, and now you want to freeload off us?"

Niu Bayi said, "This is something that costs money; I can't let you eat it for free!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the black bear suddenly stood upright.

It looked like it was about to pounce, which startled Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen so much that they quickly took a few steps back and bumped into the side of the boat.

However, the black bear did not pounce.

It clasped its two paws together and bowed back and forth, continuing to howl, becoming more and more pitiful.

It sounds like it's shouting: "Old Bear, I'm starving to death! Old Bear, I'm starving to death!"

This made Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen look at each other, both feeling somewhat reluctant.

The fish hold is located under the cover.

There were no fish in the fish hold, only a few hundred Muscovy ducks.

The black bear has a keen sense of smell; it clearly caught the scent of the spotted duck, so it went closer and tried to lift the cover.

But it's a bear after all; no matter how clever it is, it can't lift the lid.

He Zhenzhen softened again upon seeing this.

"Bayi, this bear is so pitiful. There's a saying that goes all the way to help a bear, so why don't we give it a duck to eat?"

Niu Bayi had no choice but to wave his hand.

"If you want us to get you some food, you can move over there, the farther the better."

The black bear understood almost instantly. It immediately lowered its two front paws, turned around, and trotted over to the bow of the boat. Then it turned around again and looked at the bear pitifully.

Niu Bayi went over, lifted the cover, picked up a mandarin duck and threw it over.

This black bear is quite powerful; it suddenly stretched out its two front paws and caught the duck in one go.

Without saying a word, it stuffed the fur and skin into its mouth, and immediately began to eat until it was covered in blood.

It would also stick out its big tongue from time to time and lick around, not wasting a single drop of blood.

They ate with great relish.

This made Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen, who had just filled their stomachs, drool almost.

Niu Bayi turned his head and said, "Zhenzhen, go and set sail. Head to the shore now. It's deep in the mountains and forests over there. Ninety percent of the black bears came from there. Get it ashore and let's go quickly."

Without saying a word, He Zhenzhen climbed into the cockpit.

Niu Bayi found a thick wooden stick and watched the black bear warily, still feeling uneasy.

Who knows if this black bear, after eating the duck, might want to taste human flesh?

That's a ferocious beast!

Although it seems spiritual, who can really explain it?

Fortunately, after the black bear swallowed a duck whole, it sat down at the bow of the boat, leaning against the side of the boat, its two paws pressing against its belly, and occasionally licking its lips, looking quite satisfied.

This has absolutely no intention of harming humans.

Niu Bayi gradually felt relieved.

Before long, the boat had almost reached the shore and could no longer move forward.

Going any further would mean getting stranded.

At this time, the seawater was only about two meters deep.

Niu Bayi looked at the big black bear and asked in a polite but loud voice, "Hey, Boss Bear, look, the shore is over there. We can't take you there, just jump down."

"If you can come out to sea to catch fish, it's only this deep. You should be able to swim to shore. Keep trying!"

Upon hearing this, the big black bear immediately stood up upright.

It lay on the side of the boat, looked down, howled twice, and then forcefully flipped itself onto the side of the boat.

Clearly, it also believes that this level of difficulty is not a problem for it.

You can swim across.

However, it was too bulky, and the sides were too high, so no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't be flipped up.

It turned its head again, and Chong Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen howled.

The two intelligent humans naturally knew what it was saying; it was clearly shouting: Give me a push! Give me a push!

The two had no choice but to grit their teeth and walk over.

He Zhenzhen was still shouting.

"Brother Bear, we're such good friends. We fished you out of the sea, gave you a spotted duck to eat, and even took you home. Please don't bite anyone. If you do, next time we meet—"

"I'll let you drown in the sea, understand?"

The big black bear roared twice more and nodded.

They're becoming more and more humane.

The two men felt a little relieved and moved closer, pressing their four hands against the big black bear's furry, chubby bottom and giving it a hard push.

In an instant, the big black bear was pushed up, flipped over the side of the boat, and fell into the sea with a splash.

The two quickly leaned over the side of the boat and looked down.

I was worried it would be washed away by the waves again.

Fortunately, the seawater is calm right now.

The big black bear struggled in the water for a while, constantly waving its front paws, and soon swam to the shore.

Suddenly, another black bear ran out of the dense forest ahead, slightly smaller than the one they had rescued.

But it's not that small.

It tumbled and crawled over, howling excitedly.

Then, the two black bears collided, excitedly raising one of their front paws and slapping each other hard.

This is clearly not a fight, but a way of expressing affection.

He Zhenzhen was touched when she saw it.

"Look, what a lovely bear couple! The big black bear must have gone out to a deeper part of the sea to catch fish for his wife, and then he was accidentally swept away by the waves."

"His wife was watching him the whole time, hoping her husband would come back. If we hadn't rescued the big black bear, she would have been a widow, don't you think, Bayi?"

"We've done a great thing!"

Niu Bayi's expression was somewhat strange, as he suppressed a laugh.

"These two don't look like a couple, they look like brothers!"

He Zhenzhen was stunned.

"How do you know they're not a couple, but two brothers?"
