"Whoops..."

A feather arrow shot straight towards a wolf not far away that was stopping to look around. Almost at the same moment, an arrow was shot from another direction. Both arrows pierced the wolf's neck. The wolf howled and fell down.

A boy hung his bow on his back and ran towards Arrow Wolf.

"Wait!"

When he was about to get close to the wolf, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.

The boy stopped, turned around and looked at the woman with a smile who was parting the thick branches and leaves and striding towards him.

She was wearing a simple one-piece skirt with sloping shoulders. Her long hair was braided into a thick braid and hung down casually. She was barefoot, exposing her light honey-colored skin and her dark, piercing eyes. Get up heroic. She held a green crossbow in her hand, a leather quiver on her waist, and was striding towards the boy.

"Lightning, how many times have I told you? You are still young, don't run out alone. What if you encounter a beast?"

She came to the boy and scolded him with a scowled face.

"Mom, you said the wrong thing. A few days ago, Abba just said that I was eight years old and already an adult. He also gave me this bow! The wolf caught me and raised rabbits. I want to be like Abba. Shoot it!"

The boy called Lightning looked very unconvinced, and confronted his mother with his hands on his hips and his head raised.

The woman being confronted by her child is Mu Qing.

Mu Qing looked at Lightning with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, which was tanned by the scorching sun. He threatened him with a straight face: "If you listen to your father, our family will go to Langda Grassland in a few days. Mom will follow you." My father told me to take my brother Pili with me and let you stay and look after the house. Let’s see if your father will take you with him!”

The lightning eyes rolled around, and he threw himself at Mu Qing, twisting around, and said with a smile: "Mom, you are such a smart person, why did you say the wrong thing again? Think about it, I listen to Dad, Dad Listen to you, don’t I still listen to you, grandma? Grandma must take me there!"

Mu Qing couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

Ling Ling cheered, turned around and pulled Mu Qing towards the wolf that had been hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

At this time, the wolf is larger than ordinary domestic dogs, with a strong and strong body, and short and thin limbs. It looks like a hyena, but its mouth is very wide, and it is estimated that it can even crush bones. A group of such wolves appeared and wandered around near the valley where they lived. A few days ago, one even sneaked into the valley from nowhere and killed several pheasants and lightning rabbits. The Lightning kid has a vengeful nature. Some time ago, he always sneaked out to shoot wolves. Mu Qing found out and gave her a lesson and was put in solitary confinement for two days. She was just released today. When she turned around, she saw her five-year-old son Pili coming over with two fat little legs and complaining in a sweet voice, saying that her brother I sneaked out again and didn't play with him. Mu Qing was worried, so she found it. When I found him, I happened to see him drawing his bow to shoot an encountering wolf. He was afraid that the wolf would not be shot to death but would have backlash, so he couldn't care less, so he hurriedly drew an arrow and shot an arrow from his bow.

A sharp green bamboo arrow was inserted deep into the wolf's throat. The other nailed the back and abdomen.

Lingning pulled out the two arrows with force, raised them in front of Mu Qing and cheered: "Mom, you lost again. Look, I shot it into its throat, but you shot it into its belly. Abba As I said, a good hunter must shoot his prey in the throat with an arrow, so as not to bite it back. If you shoot it in the belly, the arrow won’t go deep, so how can you kill a wolf? But Grandma It’s a woman. Abba said that men should protect women in the jungle. My mother and I will protect her, so it doesn’t matter if the arrow is shot more carelessly."

Mu Qing heard something suddenly pop up in his mouth that he had just taught "Ma So Hu Hu" the day before yesterday. A string of Li Mang language mixed with her language seemed a bit nondescript and he was so young, but the words behind the words seemed solemn. A little grown-up, he kept saying "Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba, Abba", he suppressed his laughter, nodded along with him, picked up a few leaves, wiped the arrowhead stained with wolf blood, and put the arrow back into the pouch on his waist.

Mu Qing bent down to pick up the wolf, but Lightning had already picked it up first and threw it over his shoulder, smiling proudly at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing looked at his son, who was almost as tall as his own shoulders. His eyes flashed back to what he looked like when he was only a few months old, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

The sun and the moon fly by. It seems like it was just yesterday when I first arrived here. Suddenly, ** years have passed.

She pulled out the whistle from her chest sling and blew it. Soon, a **** guy jumped out of the bushes and jumped in front of her.

"Xiao Hei!"

Lightning threw the wolf on his shoulder to the ground, hugged the little black head with both hands and stroked its fur, and rubbed his face with it affectionately. Xiao Hei turned his head in disgust, unable to hide away. Then it seemed that he had no choice but to let him rub her. When the lightning had rubbed against it enough, he jumped up on its back and shook his head vigorously. The hair on his head and face that had been messed up by the lightning immediately became smooth again.

Xiao Hei is now the size of a buffalo. His hair and the horns on the back of his neck are shiny black. His golden eyes look like two lanterns at night. There are currently three tiger skins in Mu Qing's home. Except for the early one, the remaining two are Xiao Hei's glorious achievement medals. That was when he and Li Mang went out hunting together and unexpectedly encountered two orthodontic saber-toothed tigers. Being disturbed, the tiger went crazy and pounced to attack. While Xiao Hei was fighting the two tigers, Li Mang climbed up the tree, drew his bow, shot the tiger in the eye, and then joined forces to kill the two tigers. Although Xiao Hei was injured in that battle, his invincible aura was born from then on. In the jungle, let alone ordinary animals, even beasts would avoid him when they heard his roar.

Mu Qing picked up the wolf that had just been thrown to the ground by Lightning, and straddled himself behind Lightning. As soon as she sat firmly, Xiao Hei immediately jumped towards the valley.

The trench Limang dug at the entrance of the valley has long since disappeared. It was replaced by a tall and thick stone wall built against the cliffs on both sides. In the middle is a thick wooden hanging door, with the lower corners carved out with Thick cables made of twisted hemp ropes and old vines on the cliff are hoisted or lowered.

Xiao Hei jumped into the door and rushed to the front of the house before stopping. Mu Qing got off it, habitually hugged its neck and kissed it to express gratitude. Completely different from before, Xiao Hei welcomed her intimacy, and a soft cooing sound came from his throat. Pili, who was sitting on the stairs eagerly waiting for them, saw them coming back. He clapped his hands happily and ran over, shouting "take a bath, take a bath".

When Pili said taking a bath, he didn't ask Mu Qing to wash him, but he and his brother Lightning went to take a bath with Xiao Hei.

Mu Qing has always been in the habit of bathing Xiao Hei regularly. Otherwise, over time, there will be a smell. Xiao Hei was not used to it. She would run away as soon as she pushed him into the water. But after so many years, he gradually fell in love with cleanliness and would go into the water every few days. Mu Qing used to wash and comb its hair by himself, but now the lightning and thunder are getting louder. On summer evenings like this, the two of them and Xiao Hei would often flutter in the stream.

Mu Qing watched Xiao Hei taking his two children to play in the water at the lower reaches of the creek not far ahead. He remembered that Li Mang was still soaking in hemp, so he hurried over to help. As I turned around the hill, I saw bundles of hemp poles piled on the ground beside the pond. They were just harvested after planting and ready to be soaked in water for retting.

Compared with the rougher hemp they found at first, now they have another variety. It was a kind of hemp with purple flowers that was later discovered. The hemp fiber was soft and slender. The cloth was breathable, sweat-absorbent, and very soft. Mu Qingxian's short skirt and underwear were made of this kind of linen. So they now grow these two types of linen every year, one is used to twist ropes and weave carpets, and the other is used to make clothes, and the excess linen is stored. Of course, Mu Qing wears most of the clothes himself. Li Mang and Lightning Pili, father and son, were just running around in shorts. Getting them to wear clothes this season is almost impossible.

Mu Qing approached the pile of hemp poles and saw Li Mang standing waist-high in the deep pit and pond, holding up a stone hammer and struggling to drive piles. The bronzed upper body muscles exposed above the water were tightly knitted and covered with a dense layer of water droplets. They shone brightly in the sun. It was unclear whether it was sweat or the splash of flying water.

After so many years, he is still as young and handsome, full of strength and enthusiasm, just as he was when they first met.

Li Mang raised his head and saw Mu Qing standing by the pond looking at him. He smiled at her and drove down the last wooden stake with great force, causing water to splash everywhere. Then he waded ashore and **** the ground. Dragging the bundles of flax under the water and placing them on the stakes that had just been driven into the bottom of the pit, he asked her where she had been.

"Lightning sneaked out again. I was afraid that he was in danger, so I went out to look for him. I happened to see him shooting at a wolf. I also shot an arrow and hit the wolf's belly!"

Mu Qing said happily, not noticing that his tone was a little proud and show off. In fact, she probably hoped that Li Mang could praise her archery skills. Although she is a full five years older than Li Mang, many times, especially in recent years, the two of them seem to have fallen apart. Li Mang has become more and more calm, while she seems to be getting smaller and smaller in front of him.

But after Li Mang heard her words, instead of praising her, he frowned slightly, stood up straight from the water, looked at her and said, "Ling Liang is not small anymore, he is as tall as you. He If you want to shoot wolves, just let him go. Don’t worry about it all the time. He is a very good archer, better than I was when I was a child. When I was his age, I had already shot wolves by myself. Mom never stops me."

Mu Qing looked at him angrily.

She admitted that there was some truth in what he said. Perhaps the boys in the jungle grew up to be qualified warriors step by step in this way. But she was worried about letting Lightning, who was only eight years old, go out alone like this. Even though she knew that he was very strong, he could easily defeat her in an arm wrestling match, and she couldn't even hold on for five seconds. But she just wasn't reassured.

She remained silent to show her dissatisfaction.

Li Mang bent down and tied another bundle of flax to the wooden stake under the water. He didn't hear her voice for a while, and when he looked up, he realized that she was angry.

He shook his head and smiled, then waded up again, and used his muddy hand to draw a horizontal line on her forehead. Then he looked down at her and said, "Qing, more than Lightning, I'm actually worried about you. You Do you understand that it is dangerous to go out alone? Don't go out by yourself in the future. Even if you are looking for Lightning, just tell me and I will go find him."

All Mu Qing's dissatisfaction and grievances disappeared immediately with his touch and explanation.

"I asked Xiao Hei to come with me."

She said softly.

Li Mang chuckled and looked at her with doting eyes: "Not even Xiao Hei. You can't go out alone until your archery skills are trained to my satisfaction. Remember?"
