I haven’t seen Naduo for more than a year, and she looks pretty much the same as before. She must have heard her man mention that Mu Qing had given birth to a son, so when she saw her holding Lightning in her arms, she wasn't too surprised. She just seemed very happy and stepped forward to tease Lightning and ask questions.

When Youyou saw her mother, she hugged her thigh tightly, and Naduo pushed her head in annoyance. Perhaps because of the hard life, Mu Qing rarely saw her act affectionately towards her children when she lived in the settlement. There was a hint of love and joy in this pushing and pushing.

Soon Mu Qing realized that Na Duo was actually forcing a smile. There was a hint of worry between her eyebrows. Just as she was hesitating to ask her why, Youyou's father had already told Li Mang.

A terrible disaster is spreading in the settlement. The children have been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea in recent times, and the old woman's witchcraft cannot resist it. It was just a few at first, but now it has spread to at least half of them. None of your siblings were spared. No matter how hard Naduo took care of them, they still got sick one by one and became weaker day by day. The adults have not gone out hunting and gathering for several days. They believe that this is punishment from the jungle god, and they must make fires and sacrifices every night, hoping that their sincerity will make the gods take back the angry fire that rained down on the children. But it didn't work. Just yesterday, the child who had developed symptoms earlier had died. Sadness and fear hang over this place.

Listening to what her man was saying to Li Mang, Naduo's smile slowly condensed on her face. Finally, she couldn't restrain her emotions. She covered her face with her hands, and tears slowly seeped out from between her dark fingers.

Mu Qing and Li Mang looked at each other flyingly, both of them a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the children in the settlement also showed symptoms of freedom and lightning. She had always thought that the monkeys were the source of the disease because airborne transmission had infected nearby Yuyu and Lightning. But now it seems that she has wronged the monkeys. This is most likely a case of Jungle Autumn Miasma spreading among children with weakened immune systems.

Just in case we meet together, Mu Qing also put some of those purple-green herbs into Limang's skin bag when he came out. Limang had already taken it out at this time and handed it to Youyou's father. Enclave mentioned the matter of Youyou and Lightning and asked the tribesmen to rush to pick this plant that usually only grows on cliffs.

Although Naduo and his man were still a little doubtful, their faces showed excitement, and they immediately held the herbs tightly and headed to the settlement. After Youyou's father walked a few steps, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Li Mang, asking him to take them to search together.

Li Mang responded immediately. Suddenly he remembered the promise he made to Mu Qing before coming here, and he felt a little embarrassed and looked at her.

Mu Qing nodded towards him.

Li Mang thought for a moment, then walked to Mu Qing and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tonight. You guys will stay at Na Duo's place for the night..."

Mu Qing shook his head: "Lingning, Youyou, I, and I will live here. Just help me put up the tent."

Li Mang was startled, thinking that she was still a little angry, so he whispered in her ear and begged: "Just one night...if such a big thing happens, I want to stay and help...I will tell Yijia that they won't It will make things difficult for you..."

Mu Qing smiled slightly.

The reason why she wanted to live outside was because the miasma was contagious. Although Youyou and Inazuma have recovered from the infection once, they are not sure whether their immune systems have formed in their bodies. They are afraid of being infected again if they get infected, so they mention it like this. He did not hide anything, he immediately expressed his thoughts, and later reminded that the infected children should be separated and isolated from other people to avoid expanding the scope.

Li Mang immediately believed her words, and without further delay, asked Youyou's father to set up the tent with him and secure it. Then he turned his back to Naduo and the others, reached out and gently touched the lower wood with his thumb. With green forehead and hair, he shouted to Xiao Hei to take good care of him, then turned around and hurried away with them.

When it got dark, Naduo brought food over.

Her scowl has not completely gone away, but it is much better than before. She said that Li Mang approached Yi Jia and asked him to temporarily place all the sick children in one place on the outskirts of the settlement, leaving a few adults to look after them. Yi Jia was hesitant at first, but after hearing that it was Mu Qing's idea, he immediately agreed. Now Li Mang and Yijia have taken some men with torches to look for that kind of herb that is rarely seen on weekdays. Huya was sent here to keep vigil for Mu Qing.

Mu Qing looked up and saw him sitting against a big tree at the edge of the forest not far away, with weapons on the ground. He was looking here when he met Mu Qing's gaze, which seemed a little embarrassed. Mu Qing smiled at him and waved his hand to express his gratitude.

Although Xiao Hei was already there, she did feel more at ease with many tiger teeth standing guard.

Night has fallen. Naduo wanted to go back to the quarantine area to take care of the sick child, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left. In the deep autumn night, Mu Qing brought the sleeping bag originally given to Li Mang to Huya and taught him to lie down in it and rest a little at night. Looking at Huya's expression of surprise and gratitude, Mu Qing felt a little sorry. In fact, she should be the one to be grateful.

Youyou fell asleep in her sleeping bag. Lightning squinted her eyes and fell asleep while sucking the milk, but she still held Mu Qing in her mouth and occasionally sucked it a few times. Mu Qing stroked his forehead and gently withdrew herself from his mouth.

Mu Qing couldn't sleep. Close your eyes and think about where Li Mang is at this moment. Suddenly, I heard a low whooshing sound coming from Xiaohei's throat.

There must be something going on.

Mu Qing climbed out of the sleeping bag, opened the tent curtain and stuck his head out.

She was a little surprised.

Yao Yao actually stood under a big tree not far away. Little bits of moonlight shone on her through the gaps between the branches and leaves. It looks a little cold.

She seemed to want to come over, but she stopped because she was afraid of the little black guy next to the tent. Huya was standing next to her, talking to her in a low voice, probably begging her to go back. But she was unmoved.

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and put on a sand leather jacket. His fingertips felt the hardness in the pocket, and then he bent down and came out of the tent.

She doesn’t know much about Yao Yao, but one thing is clear. If she doesn’t come out now, she won’t give up.

"You came to see me?"

Mu Qing patted the little black head, waited for it to squat down, and then looked at Yao Yao and asked calmly.

Ya Yao stared at her for a long time, then moved his body, as if he was going to walk towards Mu Qing.

Hu Teeth looked a little anxious. He might have been told not to let Yao Yao get close to here before, so he tried to stop her again.

"Get out!"

Yao Yao didn’t even look at him, just drank and continued walking forward. But he was stopped by Huya with his sharp spear.

A look of resentment appeared on Yaoyao's face. When she raised her hand to hit Huya, Mu Qing asked Huya to let go.

"She might have something to tell me."

She said smiling at Huya.

Ya Yao snorted, turned around the tent and walked towards the stream not far away. After walking a few steps, he saw that Mu Qing had not followed. He turned around and asked provocatively: "What, you don't dare to come? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Mu Qing smiled, followed slowly, and stopped by the stream, with an arm's length between them.

"Why do you want to come back?"

After staring silently at the shining silver stream for a moment, Yao Yao suddenly asked.

Mu Qing was startled for a moment, but before she could answer, Yao Yao continued talking on her own: "You were taken away by my father and abandoned in the forest. I thought I would never have to see your face again. . But you came back! You also took Li Mang away! He is my man!"

When she said the first sentence, Mu Qing originally thought he was asking her to return it this time. But she knew immediately that it was actually that time last year.

"He is my man now."

Mu Qing said calmly.

Yao Yao didn't seem to expect that she would respond like this. He glanced sideways at her for a moment, then snorted: "I'm actually too soft-hearted. If only I had asked my father to kill you. Then there would be no more trouble later."

Mu Qing glanced at her, and the doubts he had occasionally speculated in his heart in the past were confirmed. But this is actually not important to her now, not at all. She only cares about Li Mang.

"Tulu and Gangtu are critical to Limang, do you know?"

She asked suddenly.

Yao Yao's tone became stiff: "No, I don't know. When I begged my father to leave you far away, Tulu happened to overhear it, and then everything happened. If I knew, I would Will I still watch him die? I didn’t know before. But now I know, he is better than anything else in my heart, not even the world can compare with him. He has a sharp spear on his chest, and I am willing to resist it for him. I I really hope I can have this opportunity so that he can know that I am the one who treats him well!"

Her tone was almost enthusiastic, and her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky under the moonlight.

Mu Qing sighed imperceptibly: "Yijia, you Dawu, he is your man. You have to behave towards him."

Yao Yao sneered: "He doesn't need my kindness. He only has calculations and ambitions. Do you think he is clean about that incident? He knew that Gang Tu and Tulu were planning, and not only did he not stop him, I even doubted him I also got a push from it. After my father died, he competed with Tulu for the Dawu feather crown. It was like two greedy wolves, biting each other's flesh. He was more powerful than Tulu, and he got the mouth. But if Li Mang Huan, how could it be his turn to be Dawu? If Limang becomes Dawu, I will be his woman! So I hate you, you are this weirdo who came out of nowhere to bring disaster to my tribe and Limang! ”

Her eyes became wandering, and Mu Qing was a little alert. Just as he was about to get further away from her, she suddenly rushed towards Mu Qing, grabbed her long hair behind her head, and dragged her towards the stream. go.

Yao Yao was so strong that she used all her strength. Mu Qing's whole face was pressed by her and was submerged under the water. She choked on the water and was extremely uncomfortable.

"You gave birth to a child for Li Mang? You ugly woman! Your child will be taken away by Hala, and he will be cursed..."

Yao Yao couldn’t hold back the pressure while gritting his teeth and cursing.

Hala here is the opposite of the gods, similar to the name of evil spirits. They were all in awe, and even after offering sacrifices to the gods, they did not forget to offer sacrifices to Hala, praying that it would stay away from their own tribe.

Mu Qing heard the curse from Yao Yao outside the water, and his blood surged. He picked up a stone by the stream and threw it hard with his backhand.

Ya Yao screamed, and suddenly released the hand that was suppressing Mu Qing, and covered her forehead instead.

Mu Qing wiped some water from his head and face, turned around and pushed Yaoyao, who was caught off guard, onto his back and fell to the ground.

"Lightning is the child of Li Mang and me! Nothing can harm him, not even you, nor Hala!"

Mu Qing immediately straddled Yao Yao and pressed her down. He took out the saber from the pocket of Shapi's coat, pulled the blade out suddenly, put it against Yao Yao's cheek, and said viciously.

The cold and shining moonlight blade scraped across Yao Yao’s face. She was so frightened that she forgot about her headache. She just stared blankly at Mu Qing, whose face suddenly turned into a ferocious one, and suddenly started sobbing.

The more she cried, the harder she cried. Tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes, looking like a lost and sad child.

Mu Qing sighed, put away his knife, and slowly stood up from her.

At this time Huya and Xiaohei heard the sound and came.

Hu Teeth looked extremely surprised, but Xiao Hei rushed to Yao Yao who was still lying on the ground, opened his mouth and kept sniffing her face, and let out a low growl in his throat.

A trace of blood oozed from her forehead, and Xiao Hei must have smelled it.

Ya Yao must have been frightened by Xiao Hei showing his sharp teeth. He yelled and climbed up from the ground. Regardless of the tears and runny nose on his face, he screamed and ran towards the settlement.

Mu Qing hurriedly drank and wanted to chase Xiao Hei. He smiled at Huya who was a little worried because of the unknown.

The night passed peacefully. Another day passed. In the evening, the people who went out to collect herbs finally came back. The women who had been waiting anxiously immediately prepared a thick concoction and let each infected child drink it.

It was night, Li Mang and Mu Qing still stayed where they were, planning to leave early the next morning.

Li Mang said that Yijia was a good Dawu and took the lead in climbing up the cliff covered with thick and slippery moss. He can definitely lead his people to live a good life.

When he said this, he looked sincere.

During the day today, women from the clan came over one after another. Some looked at them from a distance, and some also came over and curiously asked about things in their valley. They should have heard it mentioned by their father and Huya before. Mu Qing answered them all patiently. Apart from emphasizing the importance of salt, she did not try to persuade them to expand farming and raise small animals like herself. The deep-rooted habits passed down for thousands of years have been integrated into their blood. Except for Li Mang who listened to her, she did not think that the people here would easily abandon their original way of life.

Yao Yao actually didn’t think much of it at first. She probably just needs to vent her inner resentment, Mu Qing thinks so. So he didn't mention what happened to Yao Yao last night.

They got up early the next morning before dawn. Breakfast is cooked in front of the wooden fire. The cooking utensils and food were delivered by Na Duo yesterday, and there was just enough leftover to make breakfast. Youyou sat aside holding Lightning, watching Li Mang dismantle the tent and tie up the bamboo poles. She knew they were leaving soon, so she looked a little reluctant to leave.

After having a simple breakfast and packing up her things, Mu Qing gave Youyou the sleeping bag and watched her disappear into the forest with her head turned three times. Then she and Li Mang quietly left with Xiao Hei. .

At midnight last night, Naduo, who was so excited that she could not speak incoherently, ran over to tell them that the children seemed to be getting better. She said that the tribesmen were very grateful and would come to thank them tomorrow morning and asked them to stay here and not leave again.

Mu Qing was originally worried that Li Mang would be a little reluctant to leave, and wondered if he decided to leave because he was used to living in the valley. But he looked relaxed throughout the day, and she breathed a quiet sigh of relief. When they lay in the tent at night, she finally couldn't help but ask him how he felt about leaving his tribe this time.

Li Mang was silent for a while, then reached out across the sleeping bag and gently touched her cheek.

"You like life in the valley, so I also like it. Besides..." He paused and whispered, "If I stay, I will only distract Yijia. He is more capable than me, and I hope he will All my thoughts are on being a good Dawu, not on guarding against me."

Mu Qing was a little surprised. She originally thought Li Mang knew nothing. Now it seems that he may have known about it all along, but he just never mentioned it in front of her.

She leaned out of her sleeping bag and kissed his face in the dark.

Mu Qing was a little worried about her raising animals, so she took a longer trip back. At noon on the third day, the sun was a little hot, and they were afraid that the lightning would not be able to withstand it, so they stopped to rest under the shade of a big tree.

Ling Ling must have been a little hungry. As soon as he was taken out of the leather bag, he kept leaning into Mu Qing's arms. Mu Qing picked up a flat stone and sat down. While sucking Lightning, she took a mouthful of dry food and fruits that Limang would pass to her mouth from time to time. Looking from a distance, the water in the river not far away is turbulent, and from time to time it carries decaying driftwood and branches and leaves rushing downstream.

After resting, Mu Qing put the lightning back into his leather bag and tied it to himself. After packing his things and about to set off again, he suddenly heard a dull and chaotic sound in front of him, as if a large group of running animals were trampling on their hooves. From the ground. Soon, a large group of water lizard beasts appeared in front of them and ran wildly along the river.

This beast has a short and fat body, limbs like a lizard, a short mouth with two fangs, and high eyes and nostrils. They like to feed on grass near living water, so you can often see them grazing leisurely along rivers. But it was the first time Mu Qing saw such a large group of people running wildly like they were frightened, their hooves splashing up large swaths of mud. She couldn't help but look at Li Mang.

Li Mang narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately whispered for her to hide.

Mu Qing was a little nervous because his expression looked serious. She immediately hid behind the bushes. Li Mang gave a soft drink and was so excited that he was ready to move Xiao Hei, and he also hid beside her.

The water lizard herd is very old. But what happened next made Mu Qing stunned.

A large group of men, at least seventy or eighty, appeared in their field of vision with various weapons in their hands. She saw a few familiar faces in the crowd at a glance. They were the Black Scars from the Tulu and Gangtu tribes. She had never seen the rest. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are naked and green-faced, and they look like they have an evil aura. That's all. What surprised Mu Qing was that these people were actually driving a group of wild beasts along with them.

This is a kind of monster with the body of a leopard, the head of a sparrow, the head of a tiger, the claws of a snake, and the tail of a snake. Its mouth is full of sharp and exposed teeth like daggers, and its eyes are blood-red. Even though he was dozens of steps away, Mu Qing could still smell the fishy smell.

"The Beast Exorcists! Why are they together!"

Mu Qing heard Li Mang groan beside him and blurted out this.

As if he sensed her uneasiness, Li Mang immediately put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear: "The Beast Exorcists are an evil tribe abandoned by the gods and driven by Hara. From generation to generation, they have passed down that wizards have a certain The ability to drive evil beasts called Cang Yin. It is said that when their wizards build altars and pray, people who look at these evil beasts for a moment will lose their minds and let them drive them. But they have always been isolated from other tribes. The Tulu and Gangtu people It’s nothing to be together, how can we go with the Beast Exorcists..."

His voice suddenly broke off.

Mu Qing has already thought of it.

They are heading towards the settlement!

Mu Qing immediately felt Li Mang's whole body tense up next to him. Almost at the same moment, he had already held Mu Qing's shoulders, looked at her and said hastily: "My people are in danger. I must go back and fight with them, at least to make them ready before the arrival of the Beast Exorcists..."

He spoke slower and slower, and there was already some hesitation when he arrived.

Mu Qing knew that he was thinking of himself and Lightning. He couldn't let them go.

Her heart sank a little, but she looked up at him and nodded.

"There are many caves nearby. I will find a temporary hiding place. The dry food will be enough for me to eat for many days. And Xiao Hei will protect me. You go. I will wait here for you to come back."

She would not force him to stay so that he and she could die peacefully in the valley, even if she wanted to do so. Li Mang... besides belonging to her and Lightning, he was still a warrior in the jungle after all, and the same blood as his people always flowed in his body.

She has already learned this law of the jungle. Just like she had read a poem before, Li Mang would be her copper-branched, iron-stemmed oak tree, and she would be kapok alongside him, sharing not only the mist and rainbow, but also the wind, thunder and thunderbolts. She had told herself before that she would become a jungle warrior woman that would make him proud, and she had been working hard.

Li Mang stared at her for a moment, then suddenly reached out and hugged her and the lightning in her chest leather pocket into his arms, kissed her forehead heavily, and then let go.

"I'll find you a suitable cave first. Wait there for me to come back."

He helped her stand up.

The author has something to say: Thank you very much for your blessings...I am touched. Also, thank you for the reminder in the message from Bikuling, "No one feeds the livestock at home!! I'm going to starve to death! I'm going to starve to death!" After seeing it, I remembered that I had forgotten this, so I went back to edit the following article. .
