Looking at the thrilling scene inside, Mu Qing’s palms were already sweating. Suddenly, I heard rapid footsteps behind me, and the fire was approaching. When I looked back, I saw Huya leading someone over.

When Huya saw Mu Qing, he was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly rushed inside.

Li Mang was still holding Yi Jia on the ground, but the blade in his hand had left his throat.

Hu Te and the clan members rushed forward. Some people screamed, but were stopped by Hu Te.

Li Mang raised his eyes and met Huya's eyes.

He slowly let go of Yi Jia, threw the blood-stained knife to the ground, and stood up.

Yijia pushed away and stepped forward to help others, then stood up by himself.

Li Mang didn't look at Yijia anymore, just nodded towards Huya, turned around and walked away. A few people seemed to want to stop him. After looking at Yi Jia, they saw that he was just standing there, staring at Li Mang's back with a gloomy expression, and then hesitantly stepped back.

"Li Mang, the tribes in the grassland and jungle have united, and I may have a big battle with them. After this battle, if I lose, then we will still live in peace. But if I If you win, then I tell you, your valley and those people you took in must also belong to me!"

Just when Limang was about to step out of the hall, Yijia suddenly said loudly to his back.

Li Mang stopped and turned to look at Yi Jia.

"What if I don't want to?"

Yi Jia laughed and looked outside in the direction of Mu Qing. From his angle, he could see exactly where she was standing.

"You can't defeat me. No matter the number of people or weapons. Although you also know how to refine bronze, I have sent people to guard that greenstone mountain day and night. It took me five or six years to almost I searched every corner here before I found such a place. There will never be another greenstone mountain!"

After saying this, Yijia suddenly strode towards Limang, stared at the flame mark on his face for a while, then approached and lowered his voice: "The wizard of the Exorcist Clan told me, the mark on your face is This mark is the mark of the king, a living sacrifice to Hara. He asked me to kill you when I see you. But I don’t believe this. If my wish is fulfilled, you will be my opponent in the next battle. I will step on you and protect you. Those corpses entered your valley, making you willingly bow to me and admit that I am the real king!"

Yijia's voice was very low, and apart from Li Mang, Mu Qing also heard it intermittently from outside.

What kind of obsession makes him so proudly obsessed with Li Mang, his friend since childhood and his opponent?

Li Mang stared at Yijia for a moment, but finally said nothing, turned around and walked out of the bluestone building.

Mu Qing greeted him. He held her hand and found that his palm was wet. Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip.

There were already people outside, including men, women, old and young, all watching them silently.

Li Mang led Mu Qing towards them. Every time he took a step forward, they separated a little further, until they finally reached the end of the bluestone road.

When they came to the first entrance, they were surprised to see Zuo and several other men who had gone out from here together. They had torches burning in their hands and looked a little anxious. Xiao Hei was squatting next to them. Seeing their figures, Zuo Feidi ran over, looking a little excited.

After recovering from the accident, Li Mang looked very excited and shook hands with him vigorously.

Mu Qing also understood immediately.

They probably knew where they and Li Mang were going early in the morning, so they followed them quietly.

They may not be able to help much, but when she and Li Mang came out of here and saw them waiting, with concern and joy on their simple faces, she still felt a warmth coming from the bottom of her heart. born.

Back at the jumping point of the big river, not far ahead was her and Li Mang's home. When she turned the corner, she couldn't help but turn around and look towards the green stone mountain Yika mentioned.

The mountain in the distance was very tall. When she was in the valley, she could see it towering into the cloud peak. The mountains and peaks are so familiar that you can see them even when you close your eyes. It was just now that you knew this was Tongshan.

She was suddenly in a daze, staring intently, motionless.

At the peak line of the mountains, a strange round hill appeared. Very slowly, but there was no such small round mound before, she was very sure.

Li Mang and Zuo stopped when they saw her dumbfounded and looked along her line of sight. They couldn't see anything and looked down at her in confusion.

Mu Qing suppressed his uneasiness, forced a smile at them, turned around and continued to follow Xiao Hei,

When they returned to the valley, the first thing Mu Qing did was go to the hot spring.

Half a year has passed since she and Li Mang first discovered that the spring water was boiling, and now the pool is still like this, and the water level looks almost the same as before.

Mu Qing returned to the valley full of doubts.

One after another, people came looking for their valley.

Every time someone finds this place, it means that Yijia has taken another step towards his ideal.

The men in Limang and the valley became very busy. They set up various obstacles on the road leading to the valley entrance, reinforced the barriers, and kept making crossbow weapons and rolling stones.

When summer came, Mu Qing found out that she was pregnant. She and Li Mang had been looking forward to this life in her belly for a long time, so Li Mang was very excited about its arrival, even more excited than when she was pregnant with Lightning for the first time.

But Mu Qing was worried.

Her worry did not come from Eka, but from the ever-changing spring and the rounded hill on top of Greenstone Mountain.

It has been half a year since she and Li Mang came back from the Yijia tribe. Mu Qing paid little attention to the various preparations Li Mang and the others were making for the upcoming battle. She kept paying attention to the spring and the greenstone mountain.

The water level in the spring is dropping rapidly. At this rate, it will be bottomed out in less than half a month. It appeared that hot steam was rising up from the spring wall above the dew water. She could no longer get close. The surrounding air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and the small round hill was now rising higher and higher, almost It is level with the original peak.

That evening, accompanied by Mu Qing and Lightning, when he came back from the spring again, he met Li Mang head-on. He seemed to be looking for her. Seeing her coming back, a smile appeared on her face. Mu Qing could tell that he had something to say to her. Fortunately, she also had something to say.

The water in the pool has completely dried up, and a palm-width gap is exposed at the bottom of the cracked pool, from which hot steam continues to spurt upward.

"Are you angry with me? I see that you are always worried. You can't sleep well at night. I have been very busy. When I am free, I will definitely stay with you all day long."

Li Mang took her to sit on the terrace of their house, stretched out his hand to gently touch her slightly swollen belly, and stared at her pale face.

Mu Qing shook his head, took a deep breath, looked up at Li Mang, and finally said: "We must give up here, go as far as possible, and we must leave now."

Her voice was very soft, but Li Mang's expression seemed to have heard a thunder explosion, and he looked at her in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?"

He finally asked.

"A volcano, that greenstone mountain may be a volcano. It may erupt. I'm not sure, but it's very possible. So we can't stay here anymore."

Mu Qing said very clearly.

"Volcano..."

Li Mang repeated the unfamiliar syllable, still looking at her in confusion.

Mu Qing sighed, explained the volcano to him, and told him about the hot springs and the ever-changing changes in the greenstone summit dome.

As she explained, Li Mang's face became more and more serious, even heavy.

"Li Mang, we have lived here for so many years, and we have left our footprints everywhere. I really can't bear to leave. So I always hoped that this was just my mistake, so I couldn't bear to tell you. But it's no longer possible. . Even if there is only a small possibility, we must abandon everything here and leave. We cannot gamble with our lives. So leave!"

Li Mang's hand still stayed on her lower abdomen, but stopped stroking it.

"Don't you believe me? Once a volcano erupts... it's really scary. Even if the melted rock doesn't flow to us, the dust is enough to suffocate us or even bury us. We're too close to it. ..."

Li Mang shook his head.

"I believe you. Although your words often surprise me, I know you are never nonsense. I will tell everyone here right now, and we will leave when we are ready!"

He had already stood up and strode down the stairs.

Mu Qing let out a sigh of relief, stood up, held on to the balcony railing and looked toward the southwest.

The Green Stone Mountain lies there quietly. It is to the northeast of her place, and Yijia is to the northwest of it.

After learning this terrible news, almost everyone was shocked. No one had the intention to do anything, so they dropped what they were doing and gathered around Li Mang and Mu Qing.

More than half a year has passed, and they already have nearly a hundred people here.

Some people's eyes were full of fear, and some were crying bitterly, but most people were stunned and didn't seem to believe it.

Mu Qing completely understands their feelings. In fact, not only them, but also she herself was unwilling to believe such a conclusion at first.

Abandoning their beloved homeland and embarking on a journey of escape, what awaits them is completely unknown. No one can accept such a thing easily.

Mu Qing patiently explained to them over and over again. It was not until the third day that Li Mang spoke decisively. He had decided to leave and set off tomorrow. This ended this difficult decision.

No one objects anymore, even if they still don’t want to. Everyone left silently and returned to their homes to pack their things. In some families, the crown has not even been completely formed.

It's already dark outside. Lightning and Pili were not as naughty as usual, they just sat together quietly, watching their mother's busy figure coming and going.

Mu Qing packed up the necessary things and put them into her big sack one by one. Except for two things, one is the animal tooth necklace that Li Mang gave her a long time ago, and the other is the snakeskin apron. Although she almost never wore the leather skirt, it held a lot of memories. She couldn't bear to abandon it.

At nearly midnight, she finally packed her things. After coaxing my two sons to go to bed, I sat on the terrace outside and stared at the moon above my head in a daze.

There was silence in the valley.

Nearly all the animals raised have been slaughtered, but the crops have not been harvested and the half-grown fruits are still green, so they can only stay here forever.

She heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't look back.

The next moment, she was hugged by Li Mang from behind.

Li Mang kissed her ear and one cheek almost violently, blowing her face with his heavy breath.

In the past six months, he has often been with the men here during the day. At night, he would lie gently next to her long after she fell asleep. It had been a long time since he had kissed her so passionately.

Mu Qing turned her head and kissed him back, only to find that her face was wet with tears.

Li Mang coaxed her softly, picked her up and carried her to their room.

Early the next morning, everyone and their families gathered in front of Li Mang and Mu Qing's house, carrying their luggage.

I really have to leave this land.

Li Mang told her last night that she should take her children, Zuo Naduo and the others to the Donglangda grassland first. He will catch up with them.

Before leaving, he must bring this news to the Iga tribe. He leaves as soon as the news comes to him, whether they believe it or not.

He said sorry to her again. But Mu Qing kissed him on the lips.

She told him that he did not need to say sorry to her, she loved this kind of man.

After taking a look at their former home, just as they were about to set off, Zuo suddenly ran over panting, looking a little pale.

He was in charge of the vigil last night.

He brought bad news. Their valley had been surrounded by Ekas.

This happened last night.

This terrible news shocked them as much as the volcanoes a few days ago. After a commotion, Li Mang, Zuo and some other men went to the mouth of the valley to find out what was going on.

They had been besieged for three days and nights.

Ika did not attack them, but surrounded them like iron barrels. Once someone tries to get close to the exit, they will fire arrows all over the sky and then continue to stand still.

Mu Qing guessed that Jia Jugao was using her telescope to see the situation at Taniguchi so clearly.

The people in the valley gradually became a little manic and restless. Desperate and sad eyes can be seen everywhere.

Mu Qing felt that he understood something.

Yiga may have truly fulfilled his wish, he has such ability. Now, he was just waiting for Li Mang to bow to him as he had said before.

He doesn't attack now, he just wears down the will of the prey in the cage. It is a sign of contempt for the hunted before the hunter thinks he is about to catch it.

Mu Qing also gradually became anxious. She was worried about the volcano erupting and could not sleep all night.

On the fourth day, when this hopeless situation had to be broken, Li Mang made a decision.

It was an unusual adventure with a hint of a lone hero.

He did not bring any weapons or any protective measures. He strode to the high reinforced wall at the entrance of the valley, opened the hanging door, and shouted loudly towards the entrance of the valley.

He said he wanted to talk to Yi Jia.

The air was so still that even the wind had disappeared.

After Li Mang finished shouting, he just stood there.

Mu Qing barely dared to blink, fearing that if he blinked, the sky would be full of arrows falling down.

Just when her eyes were so wide that she was almost crying with pain, there was finally a response from outside.

At the end of the road at the entrance of the valley, a figure appeared, walking towards Li Mang.

Those are tiger teeth.

Tiger Teeth brought the language of Ega.

He said that as long as the people inside went out and joined him, he would not be in trouble. He swore by his gods.

Huya's words were a big shock to the people who had been besieged for three days and three nights.

The people here, except Zuo and the other two families who came first, are from other tribes. They all came here because they fled when they were attacked by Yijia and had nowhere to go. Some of them had doubts about what Li Mang and Mu Qing said about the volcano, so leaving here was just a forced choice. Now the road leading to them suddenly opened up another one. There is a powerful tribe, and they will live peacefully in the future. This is quite a temptation.

Approximately one-half of the people walked out of the wooden door with their bags packed last night. There were less than fifty people left.

Li Mang did not stop them.

He just told Huya calmly that there might be a volcanic eruption here and asked him to bring the news to Yijia. After repeating Mu Qing's explanation about volcanoes to him, he added: "Tell him, this is what Mu Qing said."

Hu Ya almost listened to Li Mang's words in disbelief. He didn't hesitate, just patted Li Mang's shoulder hard and left quickly.

Another day has passed. The siege from outside still hasn't left. However, there were fewer and fewer people in the valley. At night, there were only less than twenty people left.

Ega may not believe it at all. He was still grinding with Li Mang, waiting for Li Mang to be grinded until he was finally willing to come out and surrender to him.

Mu Qing was almost going crazy with anxiety. Sometimes she even thought that Li Mang would just go out and surrender to Yijia. Compared with life, sometimes other things may not be so important.

Li Mang has not slept for several nights, and his eye sockets are terribly deep.

Mu Qing knew that he had begun to struggle.

If he was just one person, she knew that he would stick to it till the end. Even if he died in this valley, he would always be so firm.

But now, in addition to himself, he also has her. They are lightning bolts, leaving Zuo, Naduo, Youyou, the remaining people, and Xiaohei's family.

Using his dignity in exchange for their lives, she thought he would give in.

But she couldn't bear to see this. I can't bear it.

So that night, when Li Mang summoned the rest of the people and struggled to speak, Mu Qingxin shrank slightly.

She wanted to cry again.

"Abba, I know how we got out! I just thought of it!"

Lightning suddenly shouted.

At dawn, their group, together with Xiao Hei's family, had crossed the valley and headed east along the river.

Thanks must go to their monkey neighbors.

It was they who gave them a way to survive, even though it was discovered that the monkeys may have disappeared from here a few days ago because they were more sensitive than humans.

There is a cave hidden in the fold of the mountain wall behind the dense branches and leaves where the monkeys usually live. The entrance of the cave is not big, but it is big enough for people to pass through. Even Xiao Hei squeezed in and walked through. In summer, the entrance to the cave was covered with branches and leaves, but in autumn and winter it was covered with withered perennial vines and snow, so Mu Qing never discovered it.

This hole was accidentally discovered by Lightning when he climbed up the monkey tree to play a few years ago. After walking through the twists and turns, he discovered that it actually leads to the outside of the valley. He remembered that Mu Qing often controlled him and wouldn't let him go out, so he hid it and didn't tell anyone. He sometimes sneaked out to play secretly. Later, Mu Qing gradually relaxed a little about him. He could enter and leave through the valley mouth, and this passage here was slowly forgotten. It wasn't until now that I suddenly remembered.

The cave is full of traces of feces left by monkeys when they pass by. It is a bit smelly, but now, it is a way to survive.

About half a month later, their group arrived at Langda Grassland.

Lukan has become desolate and there is no trace of human beings.

Looking from here, only a vague outline of the tall greenstone mountain remains. This should already be a relatively safe zone. But Mu Qing was still worried and continued walking along the direction of the river entering the grassland.

After entering the grassland, there were minor earthquakes for several days. Each time it was very weak, almost fleeting, and people only felt slightly dizzy. Mu Qing wondered if Greenstone Mountain was really about to erupt.

A few days later, at noon, the sun was blazing and it was extremely hot and muggy. Mu Qing felt an earthquake again, and Li Mang and Yu Na Duo beside him also felt it. Black and Ladd crawled under their mother's little red belly in panic. Not far away, a group of stone-clawed horses were frightened and ran past, kicking up dust in the sky.

Mu Qing stopped and looked behind him in horror.

A huge, strange-shaped cloud suddenly rose from the top of the green stone mountain, like a huge pine tree stretching out countless branches, spreading towards the sky, covering almost half of the sky.

A loud noise.

After at least dozens of kilometers away, Mu Qing and the others could hear it, and even their eardrums were slightly shaken.

The lid of the round mound suddenly seemed to be lifted. Red magma spurted thousands of meters into the air, and thick steam instantly rose up to 10,000 meters into the sky, covering the world as if it was the end of the world. Lightning-like flames continued to shoot out, and volcanic ash, pumice, and broken rocks poured down like a heavy rain.

This is the release of anger from deep within the earth. It may have been brewing silently many years ago before Bi Muqing and Li Mang arrived in the valley and discovered the hot springs. It was not until now that it finally burst out.

Mu Qing's face turned pale with shock. He could hardly stand and almost fell to the ground. Li Mang hugged him.

Beside them, everyone had collapsed on the ground, dumbfounded, and had even forgotten to cry.

This violent explosion lasted for a long time, Mu Qing estimated that it lasted at least half an hour, and then it began to slowly weaken, but a large number of black mushroom clouds gathered more and more. That's volcanic ash dust. Finally, even here they could smell the air that seemed to be burnt, and a thin layer of ash fell on everyone's face.

The next morning, when the crater was still smoking, the group of them continued eastward. Another half month passed, and the mountain ahead was almost within reach. At this moment, a shouting sound suddenly came from behind.

Mu Qing looked back and was surprised to see a group of people behind them, about a hundred in number. When they arrived in front of Mu Qing, they immediately knelt down towards her, their faces black and dusty with fear.

They described what happened later and they knew what happened.

After Yijia surrounded the valley floor for nearly ten days, he finally couldn't help but send people in to check. Only then did I realize that there was no one inside. He couldn't figure out how they left, so he could only lead the team away and returned to his tribe.

He is now the real king.

But the news about the volcano spread like wildfire. Almost everyone was talking about it, some sneered, others were dubious. After several days of weak earthquakes, some people began to leave secretly one after another, heading towards the grassland.

Yijia initially scoffed at the news. If he found someone escaping, he would be severely punished if he caught him. But as microtremors occurred frequently, he seemed to believe it and stopped trying to stop others.

"When we left secretly, Dawu had not left, nor did his wife. What happened next, we don’t know. This terrible disaster was a punishment from the jungle **** to all of us, but because of you, we Escaped. We have been chasing you along the traces you left, and we finally caught up today. Take us back. Wherever you go, we will follow!"

They said this to Mu Qing and Li Mang.

After this night, tomorrow, they can climb over this mountain and lead to the unknown world on the other side of the mountain.

Mu Qing rested her head on Limang's shoulder, feeling the pulse of life in her body, and looked up at the starry sky above her head.

Awe of the bright starry sky above.

Such a sentence suddenly flashed through her mind.

Yijia, proud of him and the Bronze Kingdom he single-handedly created, far surpassed this era. Perhaps he had really been annihilated under the starry sky in the anger of nature.

She suddenly felt sad. The scene when she first saw him flashed through her mind.

At that time, when the people of his tribe chose to be Dawu, they lost to Li Mang. The lips on his young face were pursed tightly, and his eyes were sharp.

He may really be a genius, far beyond the intellectual genius of this era.

Real genius is always lonely, even crazy.

"Our Garden of Eden is gone..."

Li Mang pulled her tightly into his arms and kissed her forehead.

"No, where our hearts are, there is the Garden of Eden."

Mu Qing kissed him back gently, sighed, and slowly fell asleep in his arms.

The author has something to say: Thank you all for accompanying me along the way. . . I love you all.
