Xia Xiao was startled when he heard that they had also gone into the mountains to look for the black bear.
However, they must not have encountered it, he thought, considering the hidden cave in the mountainside and the grass that covered it. Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were concerned about the injured black bear and decided to be more cautious next time they entered the mountains.
Although the two black bears had injured the Gao family members, after the incident with the mother bear giving birth, Xia Xiao had saved them and built a friendly relationship. If they could be considered friends, Xia Xiao didn't blame the black bears—it was, after all, Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue who had trespassed on their territory.
He didn't have much sympathy, but now that they were friends with the black bears, Xia Xiao didn't want to see anything happen to their family.
