At dusk the next day, they returned to the settlement.
Originally, they could have gone back earlier, but both of them seemed a little reluctant to leave everything behind for the time being, so they were not in a hurry, so they delayed for some time.
Everything looks the same as before, but something seems different.
Except for Na Duo and You You, whose smiling faces were still so sincere, everyone here looked at him and Li Mang with strange eyes. Especially to her.
She felt that the friendly relationship she had managed to establish with them some time ago had suddenly regressed to the state when she first arrived, or even worse. The women scolded their children and did not allow them to play with her. She is no longer required to count the fruits during the harvest, and would rather the queue is full of complaints.
She felt a little lonely. Looking forward to the night. Li Mang would be by her side at night and would hold her to sleep, which made her feel much more at ease.
In just a few days, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the communication between her and Li Mang became much smoother. Not only can she express most of her meanings in very simple sentences, but even if she can only grasp a few syllables when he speaks, she can understand him to the core.
She felt that her heart was much closer to his.
In fact, since the accident, she knew that Li Mang was also feeling a little depressed, but he didn't show it too much in front of her.
He was originally a prestigious warrior and hunter in this tribe, and was elected by the public as the next Dawu. But because of her, his reputation among his tribe has been somewhat affected. Especially when Gang Tu was captured and exchanged, he gave up the animal skins and food that were related to the entire clan's winter survival and chose to exchange for her. This made them a little dissatisfied and disappointed. One day when she went out to work, Naduo even quarreled with the women because she heard them talking about it behind their backs.
Contrary to Limang, Yijia's reputation has grown rapidly. The main reason was that he took a few tribesmen back to the Gangtu tribe that night and successfully launched a sneak attack. They took back all the animal skins and part of the food, and then set fire to it and burned the remaining items. This is indeed great news for the people in the settlement. They once thought that their things would be gone forever.
In the few days since he came back, Mu Qing has been thinking about the whole thing over and over again. On the night Li Mang rescued her, he asked her why she left the settlement and was captured together with Dawu. She vaguely understood what he meant by listening and guessing, and almost wanted to say that Dawu tricked her out. Just finally held back. After all, Da Wu is still the leader here, and she is afraid that Li Mang will have a head-on conflict with him if he finds out, which she doesn't want to see. Li Mang thought she didn't understand what he said, so he just rubbed her hair and didn't ask any more questions.
What makes her feel a little strange is that after Dawu came back after suffering such a heavy blow, he didn't mention a word about the whole thing. She knew that Li Mang also went to see him later, probably asking the same question that he had asked herself before. But from the look on his face after he came back, it was clear that Dawu didn't give him any clear and satisfactory answer, because he seemed depressed and helpless.
It is obvious that Dawu wants to expel Yaoyao from here. Then they met the Gangtu tribesmen, and both of them became prisoners. Such a thing, if Gang Tu's strange assassination of Li Mang and Tulu's strange behavior hadn't happened later, she might have convinced herself that this was indeed a coincidence. But now, it is very likely that this is not a coincidence.
Mu Qing felt that he had grasped some clues. She gradually and boldly weaved a relationship diagram: Dawu decided to trick herself into going out and abandon it, and Tulu found out. For some reason, he decided to do something about this opportunity. He colluded with Gang Tu and helped him kill the unsuspecting Li Mang in exchange for the hostages. The condition was the animal skins and food. He turned around frequently at that time, perhaps to hint or urge Gangtu. Old Dawu is actually an old fox. Although he accidentally fell into Gangtu's hands and suffered a lot. But he must also have doubts like her. Did he notice some clues, so he kept silent about the whole thing after he came back? Of course I won't mention that he has bad intentions towards me.
Mu Qing felt that his speculation was reasonable. The only thing she couldn't figure out now was why Gang Tu stopped the black scar when he wanted to do something wrong to her. He obviously said something at that time, but she didn't understand it. She didn't think these people had reached the point where they thought there was anything wrong with molesting or even **** a female captive in public. That's why. Could it be that Tulu mentioned to Gangtu beforehand that he was not allowed to touch himself? But why would he go out of his way to... protect himself? On weekdays, his relationship with Li Mang is very cold, and he has no friendship with him.
She felt a little confused. But I soon put this behind me. Compared with her confusion, Li Mang was being watched secretly, which was a serious matter. In an ordinary hostage exchange, it is impossible for the other party to suddenly launch a fatal secret attack after achieving its goal. She believed that Li Mang should have noticed it himself, after seeing the poison-quenched bow and arrow that day. But she was still a little worried and thought she should mention it to him. So that evening, when he accompanied her to fetch water from the stream again, Mu Qing reminded him to be careful with Tulu, Tulu was not a good person, using words he had pondered for a long time.
She could only say these two sentences, tossing and turning. The rest was complicated and she couldn't express it yet.
For the first time, she felt so discouraged and anxious because she couldn't communicate fluently with him, and she even stuttered after arriving.
Li Mang listened to her very seriously at first. He must have understood, as his eyes flickered slightly. Then he noticed her blushing face and her constant gestures, reached out and ruffled her hair vigorously, and then laughed.
Mu Qing brushed his hand away with some dissatisfaction, rolled his eyes at him, and combed his hair with his fingers.
Li Mang smiled happily. When Mu Qing saw him reaching out with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, as if he wanted to mess up his hair again, he hurriedly dodged it and muttered: "The dog bit Lu Dongbin..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she shut up.
Li Mang put his hand on her forehead and touched it.
This means thank you.
Turns out he was just teasing himself, just like he had done many times before. She was happy that he finally listened to her words, and just as she was about to smile at him, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, then took the big clay pot on the ground and squatted down to help her get water.
Being kissed by him on the forehead seemed to still leave the itching feeling when his beard brushed against her. Recently, she was a little obsessed with this feeling, so she always hesitated whether to completely tidy up his beard and hair. After all, his current image was too far away from her aesthetic sense.
Li Mang didn't know that she was thinking about his beard, so he filled the bottle with water and walked back.
For the past two days, Mu Qing cooked food for him. Although Na Duo seemed a little worried and would often come over to give her some pointers when she started burning things, Mu Qing was determined. Now that she has decided to live a good life with Li Mang and be his woman, it is always inappropriate to be with someone else for a long time. Besides, she secretly hoped that Li Mang could eat the food she made for him. Although the piece of meat she grilled the day before yesterday was a bit undercooked, half of the pot of soup she cooked yesterday spilled onto the fire, almost putting out the fire. But Li Mang didn't seem to care. He ate whatever she gave him, and he ate it with gusto.
Mu Qing became more and more satisfied with meeting this guy who was so easy to feed and satisfy. On the way back with him, she kept thinking about how to cook the fresh mushrooms she picked and secretly hid today to be more delicious, so that he would be proud of having such a virtuous wife.
When we arrived at the settlement, we met Yika head-on. He was strolling around slowly. When he saw them, he immediately came over and greeted Li Mang with a smile.
Li Mang stopped and the two started talking.
Jia has been very popular recently. But Mu Qing felt that he was becoming more and more displeased with him, especially when he saw that smile on his face. Sometimes he really wanted to step forward and slap him away.
But Li Mang has some differences with her on this point. After the last fight between the two of them by the stream, they had not communicated with each other since. But after this accident, he probably felt that the fire that Yijia set not only regained the furs and food from the tribe, but also helped him and Mu Qing escape, and he felt grateful to him in his heart. In addition, Yijia seemed to have other intentions. She wanted to repair the relationship with him, so the two actually started talking again in the past few days.
Mu Qing stood aside. At first, he heard what they said about the nearby tribes strengthening night patrols to prevent the Gangtu tribe from attacking at night, so he waited patiently for a while. Unexpectedly, after saying that, he didn't know what else was involved. He looked very excited, but his heart stopped. He coughed several times, but Li Mang turned a deaf ear. She was a little annoyed, couldn't help but coughed heavily again, and turned around to leave. Only then did he wake up in shock, picked up the water jar that he had just placed on the ground, and hurried to her side.
He noticed her displeasure, got closer and tentatively called her name. Seeing her lazily ignoring her, he suddenly stretched out his free hand, reached for her waist, twisted it, and quickly retracted it.
Mu Qing turned her head and saw that his eyes were looking straight ahead, with a solemn expression on his face. He couldn't help but laugh.
Li Mang seemed relieved and laughed along with her.
Mu Qing secretly cursed the idiot in his heart, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently twisted the muscles on his arm, and sighed slightly.
The author has something to say: . The mission is finally completed, which is not easy for a streaker like me. ~~~~~~~~
I was not very good at replying and sending points at night. Xiaodaihua was very lazy and couldn't finish it. I will continue tomorrow morning when the Internet speed is high.
Thank you very much for everyone's enthusiastic messages... It's the first time I see so many, I'm very excited...
