As if smelling something strange, Cang Yin suddenly broke away from the team and ran towards Mu Qing and the others.
Through the gaps between the trees, Mu Qing saw saliva dripping from between its teeth. Afraid of disturbing it, they did not leave immediately, but still stayed there with bated breath.
Cang Yin walked to the tree where they were resting just now, lowered his head and smelled the ground for a while, then suddenly raised his head, his fierce gaze seemed to be projected on them through the trees. Several other Cang Yins had already followed behind it. The beast-driving tribesmen in the distance also noticed something unusual here, and someone came over.
Li Mang held the sharp spear tightly in his hand. Just when he was about to push Mu Qing behind a big tree and told her not to come out, Xiao Hei, who could no longer hold back, roared and flew away like lightning. He jumped out, and a large section of the bush in front of him was crushed by it.
Xiao Hei jumped very high, and when he fell, he knocked down the Cang Yin, which was only half the size of it. His sharp claws had already scratched out several deep **** grooves on its back and abdomen. Cang Yin screamed in pain, rolled a few times on the ground and tried to stand up, but Xiao Hei didn't give it a chance and jumped up again. Before it could stand still, it had already bitten its throat, causing a **** mess. Splashed out.
Xiao Hei's battle ended neatly, but when Tulu heard the sound and saw Li Mang and Mu Qing, his face was filled with indescribable surprise. He sullenly whispered a few words to a man next to him who looked like the leader of the Beast Exorcists. The man stared at Li Mang for a while, and then said to the people around him, "Catch him!" Immediately, someone drove several Cang Yin around, and next to the corpse of the beast killed by Xiao Hei, another Some Cang Yin have already swarmed around, tearing and devouring their own kind.
A few Cang Yin pounced on them from the front line. In the flash of lightning and flint, Li Mang blocked Mu Qing's body. The sharp spear in his hand stabbed Cang Yin, one of which was thrown in front of him. He roared and threw it away from the distance. But soon, the rest pounced on them again, and the carnivore carnivores were driven around and continued to surround them. The corners of their mouths were still stained with residual flesh and blood, and their eyes shone with ferocious greed.
Xiao Hei suddenly turned around and rushed in front of Li Mang, pressing his two front paws on the ground, glaring at Cang Yin with glowing golden eyes, and let out a long, powerful roar. This roar startled a large area of birds in the nearby jungle, and the restless chirping and flapping of wings were heard.
Mu Qing heard such a roar once before. That was last year when it attacked the monkeys in the valley. Now, a year later, this roar contains a lot of majesty. It is a kind of majesty that cannot be violated and ignores all majesty.
Mu Qing was afraid that Lightning would cry when he was lying in the leather pocket in his arms, so he hurriedly wanted to feed him, but when he lowered his head, he saw that his eyes were wide open and his expression was somewhat solemn.
A few of them were so scared that Cang Yin was so frightened that they lay motionless on the ground. The driver's face also turned pale, and he took a few steps back to guard against them jumping towards him.
The momentum of the siege was temporarily suppressed.
"Sit down, Xiaohei! Wait for me at home!"
Li Mang turned around and shouted at Mu Qing, slapped Xiao Hei's forehead with his hand, and shouted "Go"!
Xiao Hei glanced at Cang Yin in front of him, then looked back at Mu Qing, seemingly unsure of the male master's intentions.
With almost trembling hands, Mu Qing pulled out the whistle from his chest and blew it. Xiao Hei immediately jumped towards her. Just like she had done when riding in the valley before, she climbed up the little black back, grabbed the horns on the back of its neck with both hands, and tightly wrapped the lightning bolt in the leather pocket in front of her between its back and her arm, and was carried by it. Rush forward.
When she turned back, she saw that Li Mang was alone surrounded by a circle of darkness, and there were people from the beast-driving tribe holding bows and arrows outside.
He'll be fine. The leader of the beast-repelling tribe just asked people to capture him.
Mu Qing kept telling herself this, but tears still fell from her eyes.
As if feeling the sadness of his mistress on his back, Xiao Hei slowed down and finally stopped.
Mu Qing cried for a while and wiped away her tears, because the lightning in front of her seemed a little restless.
She untied Lightning and fed him milk. After he fell asleep, she tied the leather bag back to her body and climbed onto Xiao Hei's back again.
She needs to go back to the river to take a look, she must.
She gently stroked the little black face and patted it to make it turn around and go back in the direction it came from. Afraid that Xiao Hei had just finished eating the lightning milk, he slowed down. By the time, it was already dusk. The setting sun is like blood, hanging on the distant mountain skyline upstream of the river, dyeing half of the river surface bright red.
Just as she thought, there was no one there.
The grass on the ground was full of trampled footprints and hoof marks. There were five or six Cang Yin lying scattered about, as well as the corpses of two Beast Exorcists. It looked like they had been cut open from the throat with a sharp blade. The knife was in Li Mang's body at the time.
There is scarlet blood everywhere, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell.
Mu Qing just breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Li Mang's body, but his attention was soon attracted by a long trail of blood on the ground. The mottled bloodstains extended all the way to the river a dozen steps away. There was a sharp spear stuck diagonally in the grass by the river.
That was Li Mang's usual spear. There was a circle of animal skin wrapped around the handshake that had been polished until it shined. She recognized it.
But now, even the handle of the spear is stained with blood.
She knew Li Mang too well, and there was no way he would just go with them.
So what exactly happened? Li Mang, how is he now?
Mu Qing looked at the river flowing eastward in front of him almost blankly, until he felt a warmth coming from the back of his hand.
That was Xiao Hei licking her gently, making a low moaning sound in his throat.
Mu Qing climbed back on Xiao Hei's back and walked down the bank of the river, his eyes scanning the river surface and the beaches on both sides.
She refused to give up.
She doesn't believe that Li Mang is gone like this, unless she finds his body.
When it got dark, she returned to the starting point exhausted. It turned out that she and Li Mang had recovered their luggage after hiding in the bushes. Tulu and the beast-driving tribesmen must have been in a hurry, so they did not search for these things.
She lit a fire and set up the tent in a triangular shape. After Lightning fell asleep in the sleeping bag, she sat at the entrance of the tent and stared blankly at the spear that she had pulled out and lay on the ground in front of her.
The last thing Li Mang said to her was to tell her to go home and wait for him. But will he come back?
The autumn night sky is deep blue, and the golden full moon hangs in the corner of the night sky.
Mu Qinghou made a decision.
She had to go and report the news to the people in the settlement before Tulu and the beast-driving tribesmen arrived. Xiao Hei's journey is absolutely unmatched by walking.
The reason for this is of course for Naduo's family, but more importantly because of Li Mang.
He thinks it's his responsibility. Since he may no longer be able to continue this responsibility, let her complete it on his behalf. This is the only thing she can do for him as his woman.
Large beasts in the jungle are accustomed to hiding during the day and coming out at night, and they are afraid of encountering them on the road, so she waited in place leaning on Xiao Hei and let the fire burn until dawn.
After dawn, she got up and packed the dry food and some necessary things into a small package, carried it behind her, and covered the remaining things with branches and leaves together with the Limang spear.
Before leaving, she placed small stones on the ground to make an arrow pattern in the direction of the settlement.
She thought that if Li Mang could be spared, he would come here to see what happened first. Just like she is now.
She put the lightning back into the leather pocket in front of her, sat on the little black back and set off.
Sometimes human potential is really unlimited. Except for stopping to breastfeed and feed Xiao Hei some barbecue, Mu Qing almost kept walking along the river.
She was originally a little worried that Lightning wouldn't be able to withstand such bumps, and she didn't dare to let Xiao Hei run too far at first. Later, she found that Lightning not only didn't feel any discomfort, but actually looked very excited, she felt relieved.
After walking for a long time, at noon the next day, she saw fresh animal excrement on the ground and the remains of smoke and ashes after burning. She knew that the beast-driving tribe had just got up from here and found that they were not far ahead of her. From a distance, he drove Xiao Hei around from the nearby jungle and rushed in front of them.
When Mu Qing and Li Mang left the settlement and arrived at the place where they encountered the Beast Exorcists, it was about half way from the settlement to their valley. Excluding two nights of rest, they walked for two and a half days. But now, relying on Xiao Hei's physical strength and speed, she arrived that evening.
She asked Xiao Hei to go hunting nearby to relax his muscles.
When she dragged her body almost falling apart through the forest and walked into the settlement, she saw smoke coming from the cooking pots and the laughter of children everywhere.
This scene was very familiar to her.
The Limang people saw her. After a brief moment of surprise, the women put down what they were doing and rushed towards her, scrambling to touch her forehead with their hands to see the lightning in her arms.
Lightning is awake. It was the first time he saw so many people and he didn't show any stage fright. He grabbed the edge of his leather pocket with his chubby little hands and kept licking his lips.
Mu Qing suddenly felt a little choked up. If Li Mang also sees this scene, he will definitely be very happy.
Not far away, Yuyou and Naduo noticed the commotion here and vaguely saw Mu Qing surrounded by a crowd. They ran over in surprise and excitement.
Mu Qing explained the matter of Tulu and the beast-driving tribesmen coming here.
"They will be here soon, tell you Dawu to be ready."
The whole place was immediately silent, and everyone's eyes flashed with fear. Many people rushed to the big room in the middle of the settlement to report the news.
Yiga and some men hurried over.
This is the first time Mu Qing has seen Yi Jia since leaving here last year. At first glance, Mu Qing felt a little strange, but soon I realized that it was because the smile he used to have on his face was no longer there, replaced by a solemn one.
He looks a lot more mature.
Mu Qing repeated what he had just said to him, and then explained the number of the other person and Cang Yin.
He didn't seem suspicious. He hesitated and just asked: "Where is Li Mang?"
Mu Qing felt a pain in his heart, but smiled and said: "He has other things to do, but he will come over soon. He told me that he would come and fight alongside you."
Ephesus asked no more questions, just stared at her face for a moment, turned around and discussed in a low voice with the men around him, and then said loudly to the frightened women who gathered around her: "Ephesus said that the forest behind the mountain is There is a cave inside that can accommodate people. You can temporarily hide in the back mountain with food and children. No matter what happens, don’t come over until we pick you up!"
Ephesus is Yoyo’s father.
Some of the women began to cry, and some gritted their teeth and cursed. After a while, they hurriedly started to pack their things.
Mu Qing then felt that she was swaying a little, and even the lightning in front of her became a little heavy, suffocating her. Just when she felt her legs couldn't support her, Yijia and Naduo rushed to her almost at the same time and stretched out their hands to her.
Mu Qing held Na Duo's arm and took a deep breath before the dizziness passed.
Iga paused for a moment and retracted his hand with some embarrassment.
Nado untied Lightning from Mu Qing and carried her away, with Mu Qing following her.
When she and Yijia passed by each other, she suddenly heard him calling her name from behind.
She looked back.
"Our tribe should be grateful to you. You have helped us again."
Yijia looked at her and spoke slowly and seriously.
Mu Qing smiled slightly: "I should. You are all members of the Limang tribe."
After saying this, she turned around and caught up with Naduo.
Yijia looked at her back, slightly disappointed.
He actually wanted to say that she looked ugly just now and asked her to pay more attention to rest. But he never said it out loud.
In fact, even if he said it, she probably wouldn't appreciate it. In other words, she didn't need his concern at all.
She looked so weak, but her actions were always beyond his imagination, whether in the past or now.
When he was in a daze, he was awakened by the quarrels of the tribesmen around him. Then he shook his head. He realized that the important thing was to work with his soldiers to figure out how to deal with the enemy.
Mu Qing no longer has the strength to return home immediately. What's more, she still had hope, hoping to wait here until Li Mang appeared.
As long as he still has breath, he will definitely get here. She knew him too well.
The temporary shelter for the women and children in the settlement was the cave where she stayed for two nights.
Everyone came, including Yaoyao. Compared with last time, she seemed very quiet, just sitting at the entrance of the cave in a daze.
At night, when the noise gradually subsided and most people had fallen asleep, Naduo beside Sui Muqing suddenly held her hand.
"What happened to Limang?"
She asked in a low voice.
"He asked me to wait for him."
Mu Qing just said slowly.
"You are too tired, go to sleep. He will come."
In the darkness, Naduo sighed softly for a while.
The next day passed uneventfully. Another night has fallen. Just as the women were anxiously surrounding the men in charge of guarding, asking them to go over and inquire about the news, a fire suddenly appeared faintly in the direction of the settlement.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and when it arrived, it lit up almost half of the night sky.
This is not far from the settlement, but it is not close either. They couldn't hear the sound there, but everyone knew that the battle should have already happened.
No one spoke anymore, even the children were silent. Everyone was looking eagerly in that direction.
I don’t know how long it took, when the fire gradually dimmed, the women began to feel uneasy again, some crying, some making noise, and some lying on the ground praying to the gods.
Mu Qing leaned against the cave wall and sat on a pile of grass covered with animal skins. He lowered his head to feed Lightning and gently stroked his ears.
There was a sudden commotion outside, as if someone had come to report the news, and almost everyone rushed out. Naduo, who had been accompanying her, quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed out. After a while, Mu Qing heard a burst of cheers and occasional cries from outside.
Presumably they defeated the Beast Exorcists? Then those cries of pain should be heard from women who have lost their loved ones. After every battle, there is always this cry. Be it victory or defeat. Mu Qing thought silently.
After eating, Lightning fell asleep. Mu Qing stood up and gently placed him next to him, then pulled a piece of animal skin to cover him.
At this time, it suddenly became quiet outside the cave, and a path separated from the entrance of the cave, which was originally packed with people.
Mu Qing looked up.
A tall man was walking towards her.
Although his steps were staggering and his face was covered in blood, she could still see clearly under the light of the bonfire burning at the entrance of the cave.
That's Limang.
He passed through so many people, past those who stared at him, and walked straight towards her.
