Mu Qing easily knew the direction in which Dawu was taken.

She walked forward along the road that was muddy due to rain. The terrain here is very different from where she lived in Limang for more than a month. It looks like a gentle **** right next to the foot of the mountain.

Afraid of running into this tribesman, she walked almost half-waisted in the grass, hoping that the waist-high grass and dense trees beside her would shield her from being discovered. Soon she discovered that all the people here seemed to have disappeared at once, no matter whether they were men, women, old or young. Several shacks she passed were empty, and the fire at the entrance of the cave was just extinguished and smoke was still rising.

She thought everyone here was rushing to the hostage exchange place.

Mu Qing was so anxious that he almost ran away along the trampled road.

When she turned a corner, she heard a loud voice in front of her. She immediately stopped, hid behind a huge tree, and carefully poked her head out.

At the corner is a sparse forest, densely packed with people. There were about fifty or sixty people from this tribe with their backs to her. They were all men in front, and there were less than twenty women standing behind them, some of them holding children in their arms. They were the ones making the buzzing sound, pointing to the other side and whispering.

There were nearly twenty men standing opposite, all of whom Mu Qing knew were strong in the settlement. Zuo, a man from Yijia and Naduo's family, everyone called him the tiger-toothed one after he was gored by a saber-toothed tiger last time, Tulu, he is Dawu's son, and Li Mang was spotted in the Mu Qing crowd at a glance. He stood in the middle. His eyes were gloomy, and his whole person seemed to be filled with a layer of hostility.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Mu Qing felt as if a long time had passed. Now Li Mang looked completely different from the man who looked back at her when she left that morning in her memory. She felt a little strange.

The women fell silent. Because the exchange has already started.

Dawu was pushed from the back of the crowd to the front. Compared to his usual appearance, he now looks miserable, even pitiful. All the tribesmen were ignited with anger, but they held it back and watched as the other party brought them stacks of animal skins and packed food in leather bags and carried them over.

This was their reserve for the winter, but now they had to give it away to others. A trace of reluctance flashed across the faces of Yijia and the other men, while Limang just stared at the enemy leader Gangtu and Dawu in his hand opposite him. Only Tulu was expressionless and didn't seem too worried about his father.

Mu Qing heard the women here cheer. Because of this, they should have a better time this winter than before.

Dawu returned to his people.

No surprises, everything went smoothly.

She saw Li Mang step forward and untie the rope that trapped Dawu's hands, as if speaking to him in a low voice, and then the group of them turned around and filed away.

Mu Qing was so anxious that he almost broke his teeth.

This is her chance after being saved. If Li Mang left like this, she would never be able to see him again.

He seemed to feel something and suddenly looked back. But he turned his head again.

He didn't see her.

Mu Qing burst into tears. She couldn't hold it in any longer. Even if it messed up the scene, even if it caused a **** fight between the two parties, she couldn't control herself and just watched him leave.

She suddenly ducked out from behind the big tree and was about to call his name loudly, when suddenly her blood froze.

She saw a man holding a bow and nocking an arrow. The arrow is black, obviously the poison has been quenched.

The direction of the arrow was pointed at Limang's back.

Tulu kept looking back. He saw the man holding the bow, but he actually turned his head away as if nothing happened.

"Limang, be careful!"

Mu Qing shouted crazily, almost subconsciously. She called him by his name, but the word "be careful" she blurted out was her native language.

But that was enough. Li Mang heard her cry and turned around as if he was struck by electricity.

This time, he immediately saw her in the crowd. An expression of almost ecstasy quickly bloomed on his face.

"Limang, be careful!"

Mu Qing shouted anxiously again, and several women found her, yelling strangely, and quickly ran towards her to subdue her.

Li Mang's face darkened, and he ducked out of the way like a cheetah. The sharp spear in his hand was thrown towards the man like lightning, and penetrated heavily into his chest. The man took five or six steps back and fell to the ground on his back. The end of the spear inserted into his chest kept trembling.

This sudden scene did not stop the scene. Almost at the same time, the leader Gang Tu shouted loudly and led his tribe to launch a frantic attack on Li Mang and the others.

Mu Qing was driven over by several women and forced to the ground. They were so strong that she couldn't move at all when they were tied backhand. She was even kicked hard several times in the ribs.

But she no longer cared about her pain. She just raised her head from the ground and anxiously searched for Li Mang's figure in the crowd.

She saw him. His body was already stained with blood. She didn't know if it was someone else or himself. He looked like a violent and bloodthirsty lion.

People on both sides have been falling down.

A real **** scene took place in front of Mu Qing. It was bloodier and scarier than what she had seen in movies and TV series before. She didn't dare to look anymore, and almost buried her head on the ground. The familiar trembling came over her again, even though she had just killed a person with her own hands.

She suddenly heard a roar. That was Limang's voice.

Mu Qing suddenly raised his head and saw that Li Mang had firmly grasped Gangtu in his hand. His hands were twisted into a weird shape and placed on the back of his neck, and one arm looked like it had been twisted. The tip of the spear in Ika's hand was pointing at his throat.

The melee finally stopped, and people from both sides who could still walk quickly gathered in their respective camps.

Li Mang's people are not as many as the opponents here. If the fight continues, they will definitely suffer. Capture the thief first, capture the king first. Perhaps no one taught him this principle, but his natural jungle nature allowed him to know what was best for him.

Mu Qing saw Li Mang looking in his direction, and their eyes met again.

She suddenly felt relaxed at this moment, because he looked at her eyes full of concern, anxiety, comfort and patience.

She felt that she was safe, even though she was still being trampled on the ground by several women with bare feet in such an embarrassing posture.

Li Mang started talking to Gangtu, who was restrained by him.

With some distance, she couldn't hear the sound clearly, but she knew it must be related to her, because almost everyone's eyes were turned towards her.

They talked about a prisoner exchange.

Li Mang first asked to exchange him for Mu Qing and the animal skins and food that originally belonged to them.

But it was rejected.

Here, women are as precious to a tribe as animal skins and food. Limang can only choose one of them, otherwise he would rather be killed and let his tribe choose a leader again.

He has always been a cruel and cruel person, including himself.

Li Mang did not hesitate and immediately chose Mu Qing.

But it was obvious that some of the men behind Li Mang showed disapproval on their faces.

They should think it is more important to get back the food and furs. It was just because of Li Mang's attitude that he didn't object.

Mu Qing was lifted up from the ground. Just when she thought she could return to Li Mang, an accident happened again.

Dawu fell into the hands of the Gangtu tribe again.

After all, he was old and seriously injured. Although he had been relying on his will to hold on before, once he came back to his tribe, he immediately couldn't hold on. When the fight started, there was a tribesman protecting him, but now that the situation was under control, everyone's attention was drawn to the center. They didn't notice the Gangtu people sneaking out of the woods behind them, and they captured him again without any effort. He was sitting on a tree stump.

Da Wu was escorted and stood opposite Li Mang together with Mu Qing.

The situation has changed again.

Women, animal skins, food, and their leaders can only choose one to exchange.

Li Mang's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and the back of his hand was full of veins when he twisted it. Gangtu's face was so twisted that cold sweat rolled out, but his head never lowered.

No matter what time, loyalty to the leader is unquestionable for them. Li Mang's silence and delay made the men behind him very dissatisfied, and they finally couldn't help but urge him.

Yijia glanced at Li Mang and Mu Qing's faces, and then glanced at Tulu. A somewhat complicated light flashed across his face, but he pursed his lips tightly.

Mu Qingxin gradually tightened up, and the almost quarrel-like noise behind Li Mang became louder and louder.

Li Mang...he was finally forced to choose between himself and his tribe.

It was just earlier than she expected, and although she had thought about many possibilities before, this situation was unexpected.

There is no suspense anymore. Mu Qing knows.

Although she instantly felt sad about being abandoned, the sadness was not serious.

No matter who you are, under such circumstances, you can only choose this way. She understands this. What's more, now, people from other tribes have already made the choice on his behalf.

Dawu was replaced again.

There are no surprises this time.

They left with Dawu and their injured companions on their backs.

Mu Qing kept his eyes lowered and never looked at Li Mang. She felt that she didn't have the courage to take another look at him. Seeing it only made her more desperate.

When moans began to sound intermittently around her, she looked up in confusion.

The place was empty, just like her heart at the moment.

Why did the people here catch her and Da Wu, why did they try to kill Li Mang behind his back, with a weird look on his face, and the expressionless Tulu who clearly saw the bow and arrow behind him, none of this is revealed. It's important.

Mu Qing was brought back to the cave again. Not the first one.

But she would rather go back to the place that smelled of blood.

This is the cave where the leader Gangtu lives.

She found that she was very dirty, her body was covered with mud, the soles of her feet were scratched, and she was numb from the pain.

But that Gangtu didn't seem to care about this.

When he came in at night, he saw an almost crazy light flashing in Mu Qing's eyes.

It was a revenge light.

In the thrilling hostage exchange during the day, although he finally obtained animal skins and food, the price was one of his arms and five clansman corpses, plus he also didn't know how the woman killed the guard Guda. This was far from what he expected. The population of his tribe was already small, and the sudden loss of so many warriors was a very heavy blow to him.

One day he will crack Limang's skull to pieces, and then **** out his brains one bite at a time.

Now he wants to possess his woman first and let her continue to increase the population of his tribe in the future.

According to the original secret agreement, he promised the other party not to leave her alone and to guard her until she was returned. But the situation was beyond his control, starting from the moment Li Mang was not shot to death by a hidden arrow soaked in poison.

He needs to vent his anger and hatred.

This seems a bit weird. Killing a woman from his tribe was the beginning of his venting. Even though she looks extremely dirty now, it doesn't affect her functionality.

Mu Qing retreated step by step until he reached the wall of the cave with no way out.

She had already searched every corner here and could not find any weapon that could be used as a protective weapon.

She looked at Gangtu who was approaching her. One of his arms was hanging weakly from his waist at the moment. Compared with his ferocious face, it was even a bit weird and ridiculous. There are no medical conditions here, and it is very likely that his hand will be lost.

Li Mang will not leave her alone like this. Sooner or later, he will definitely come back to rescue her. This was what she kept repeating to herself as she spent the long afternoon locked in this cave alone. When he saw her, the incomparable joy and concern in his eyes became her only source of warmth. Like an opium addict, she greedily recalled his expression over and over again.

She must convince herself of this so that she can have the courage to continue living.

It's easy to die. The walls of this cave are full of potholes and rock edges. You just have to run into them.

It is difficult to survive.

When she first arrived here, she thought she would be able to go back sooner or later, so she never thought of committing suicide no matter how difficult it was. Later, although there was no hope of going back, Li Mang's tolerance and love for her became almost the entire content of her life. Now, if she doesn't let herself believe that Li Mang will come to save her, she really can't hold on anymore, which makes people feel desperate from the bottom of their hearts.

She regretted why she didn't look up to see Li Mang later. Li Mang must have looked back at her. That way, she will feel more confident now.

Mu Qing pressed his back against the cave wall and looked up almost calmly at the man who had already forced himself in front of him.

No matter what happens, Li Mang will definitely come to her if she survives.

She told herself this.
