It wasn't until later that Tang Mo learned the water they'd been drinking all this time was the giant beast's saliva...
"Brother Bao, the baby is hungry."
The baby in the woman's arms suddenly began to cry. The child was a little over a year old, and in a situation like this, it was clear they would have to eat meat along with the adults.
After they all introduced themselves and exchanged greetings, they picked up their tools and began searching the ground for suitable fish to eat.
Their tools were fashioned from parts of fish—scales, teeth... anything with a sharp edge was put to use.
Only the woman holding the baby stood to one side, watching everyone work.
Brother Bao was clearly the leader of the group. Since she was his woman, it was considered normal for her to do nothing—after all, she had given him a child.
After hearing their introductions, Tang Mo finally put all the pieces together.
She had heard Da Yu call Sister Lai's husband "Uncle Bao."
