The Pima people came empty-handed, they only brought shocking news.

Yiga led his bronze warriors and swept across their tribe. The men who resisted were killed, and the remaining men, women and children were taken prisoner.

"Our tribe is gone. A few of us took advantage of the chaos to escape. The weapons they had were terrible. I saw with my own eyes that one of my tribesmen was decapitated with a knife, and his head rolled to my feet. Pillars of blood spurted up into the sky and sprinkled on me..." A Pima man said, as if he was still in shock, his lips trembling a little, "The tribes closer to them should be like us. They will one day Punished by the gods..."

"We escaped and told the news to our nearby tribes, asking them to tell them about the tribe. Now I want to tell you that the jungle and grassland will never be peaceful again! There will be more and more of them. , if everyone doesn’t unite, after they devour the tribes in the jungle, one day they will advance here!"

The news brought by the Pima people spread quickly among everyone like a plague. No one was in the mood to exchange items with others. After a commotion and quarrel, everyone dispersed and hurried back to their own tribes.

They should be in a hurry to deliver the news.

A day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world.

This is how Mu Qing felt at that time.

After hearing the words about Yi Jia from Youyou’s father for the first time last year, Mu Qing thought that his ambition had become so strong that he was afraid that he would never be able to curb it again. Perhaps he has always had such ambitions before, but he just lacked the suitable soil. Now once there is soil, it grows and spreads like weeds.

She felt confused for a while.

If she had never appeared here, even if Yijia became Dawu and had to run around for food every day, just because of his innate ambition, he would never have the conditions to attack others, right? Of course the people here will progress, farming will develop, cold weapons will be created, and the Bronze Age will eventually come, but at least it won't be like this, like a freak of growth.

She looked at Li Mang beside her.

Li Mang didn't know what she was thinking, and thought she was scared, so he put his arm around her shoulders and patted her a few times comfortingly.

Xiao Hei never came back after chasing the red leopard that night. This is somewhat abnormal. Mu Qing was worried, so she and Li Mang searched nearby for many times. Even the whistles were broken, but there was still no trace of it. Mu Qing felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something. She was so sad that she couldn't sleep at night. She would always listen to what was going on outside, and would get up to take a look whenever there was any sign of trouble, but she was always disappointed every time. After so many years of companionship, in her heart, Xiao Hei is no different from Lightning Bolt. In the end, we can only hope that it will return home.

Lightning and Pili reluctantly said goodbye to their friends again and followed their parents on their way back.

On the way back, Li Mang was silent. Even Lightning and Thunderbolt seemed to feel their parents' suppression and were much quieter than when they came out.

As they approached the entrance of the valley, Li Mang suddenly became alert and his expression looked a little solemn.

Mu Qing looked at him in confusion. He pointed to the grass on the roadside, approached her and said in a low voice: "There are traces of someone passing here."

Mu Qing immediately became a little nervous. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Yi Jia. After thinking about it again, I secretly laughed at myself for being too preoccupied, so that I wouldn't be tempted to attack them.

A rustling sound suddenly came from behind a bush not far ahead. Li Mang asked Mu Qing and the children to wait here while he went in the direction of the sound.

The bushes suddenly opened a crack, and a human face poked out.

"Left!"

Li Mang blurted out.

That person is actually Youyou’s father!

When Youyou's father saw their family, he smiled happily and shouted behind him, and a dozen people rushed out.

Nado, Youyou, her siblings, and some of their acquaintances.

Mu Qing was overjoyed and hugged Yuyou who ran towards her.

She has now grown into a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and her appearance has changed somewhat from her childhood, but her eyes are still as bright. Because she would occasionally come here with her father a few years ago, Mu Qing recognized her at a glance.

Naduo also came over with a smile, Mu Qing let go of Youyou and hugged her neck tightly.

Li Mang led his tribesmen who came from afar into the valley. Lightning and Pili were so happy that they wanted to do somersaults, and immediately took Yuyou's siblings and the children from other families to run wild. When they came back, their depression was gone, and the adults in the house could hear their laughter from time to time. .

Mu Qing noticed that they all brought backpacks and looked like they were moving as a family.

Her first feeling was that something had happened in the settlement.

After Zuo and the other men who came over briefly talked, he kept looking at Li Mang, as if there was something unspeakable.

Mu Qing and Li Mang looked at each other and were about to ask, when Na Duo already shouted outright:

"We have no place to go. You will have to take us in from now on."

Li Mang looked at Zuo in surprise. He smiled bitterly and slowly told the whole story.

They have separated from the tribe and have been waiting here for several days for them to come back.

All this stems from a dispute in the tribe.

In early summer, Yijia led the men of the tribe to attack the original tribe of Gangtu. Originally, Tulu was instigated to unite with the beast-driving tribe in the hope of taking a bite of the fat meat from the Yijia tribe. The Gangtu tribe had already been seriously injured, and they completely disappeared from the jungle under their attack. Except for a few who resisted and were killed, the rest of the population was incorporated into their tribe.

Zuo participated in this battle. At that time, he thought it was a normal revenge battle. Because they had been attacked by this old enemy many times before. But then he realized something was wrong.

After Yijia finished the first battle to test his skills, he immediately began to attack the second tribe. That was about a day's walk from another tribe.

The questioning started after that battle.

Zuo couldn't figure out why they wanted to attack and destroy this tribe that had been living next to them for generations, killing the men who resisted, and collecting the surrendered men, women and children. Although they don't have much contact with each other, they always get along well.

He and other tribesmen who had the same questions and several elders went to question Yijia.

Dawu has always been unconditionally respected by his tribe, but under certain circumstances, his authority will be challenged by some elders in the tribe.

But this time, Yijia ignored it. He has a very strong attitude.

"My idea is to make everyone's life better than it is now. Until I achieve this idea, I won't say anything more. I'm just telling you now that such battles will happen frequently in the future, and each of you must do something Be prepared."

His attitude angered the elders, who argued hard.

Iga summoned all the men of his tribe.

"If any of you question my decision, you can stand up and leave now. If you stay, from now on, I will never hear arguments like today again!"

When Yijia was in his prime, he was no longer the young man who flirted with women by the stream. His reputation grew. His words were like a huge stone thrown into the water, causing thousands of feet of waves to splash.

The people who were still buzzing and whispering immediately became quiet and looked at each other in confusion.

In the past few years, their tribe has grown stronger and stronger. This is an undoubted fact. Although his current expansion has aroused doubts from moderates like Zuo, a considerable number of tribesmen still do not object. Now that he said such words, those who originally opposed it, including the elders, stopped speaking.

Everyone of them knows what kind of difficulties they will face if they leave the tribe and go out alone.

They were the only ones who chose to leave.

Ega did not make things difficult for them. But when Zuo was the first to stand up and say he was leaving, he stared at him for a long time with a dazed expression on his face, as if he had remembered something.

When he waved them away, he not only allowed them to take away the things in his house, but also prepared dry food for them.

"Li Mang, I am willing to live the good life that Dawu said. In the past few years, he has allowed us to live countless better lives than before. We no longer have to go out to hunt every day and compete with wild animals for food. I feel very satisfied. I don’t like to attack others like this, kill them for resisting men, and take away their women. In this case, what is the difference between us and the former Gangtu? And did you know that Dawu is actually like the beast-driving tribesmen? I hated dealing with Hala. So I chose to leave."

Zuo Hou said this.

After a brief silence, Li Mang stood up from the blanket where he was sitting cross-legged, stepped forward to hug him, and then hugged several other men in turn.

That means welcome.

He glanced at Mu Qing on the left side, hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Mang in a low voice and said: "Dawu should know that we are coming to your place. I wonder if this will bring you trouble?"

When he said this, Naduo and the other women all looked at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing smiled and shook his head at them. Li Mang laughed heartily and patted his left shoulder: "You are my family. This is your home. Even if there is trouble, we will bear it together!"

The arrival of Naduo and other families made the valley lively. Because there is not enough space to accommodate so many people, two families temporarily squeezed into the spare room in their house, and another family lived in the large cave that was already used for storage, so the first thing they had to do now was to bake bricks and prepare materials to build a house. . Even women and children participated and were very busy.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The bricks were almost baked, and the wood and bamboo were being cut and transported. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

It was the end of a day's work. In the evening, after a day of crazy play, Lightning and Pili fell asleep. Mu Qing returned to his room. Unable to sleep, he ran downstairs to get a small black turtle shell and borrowed it. Washed in the moonlight stream.

Li Mang knew that she missed Xiao Hei again, so he followed her to the stream and squatted next to her.

The turtle shell could no longer accommodate Xiao Hei's body, but it has since become his favorite toy. It often spins it with its front paws, or gnaws its teeth. After so many years, it was dilapidated and had signs of being chewed around the edges.

Mu Qing washed the turtle shell and threw it on a big rock on the shore to drain the water from it.

Li Mang sighed and held her hand.

"Go to sleep. It will come back."

He led her back to the house.

Mu Qing said nothing and followed him back.

Early the next morning, Mu Qing went to cook breakfast as usual. When he went down to the fire pit, he saw Na Duo already busy there. When she saw Mu Qing coming, she pushed her out with a smile.

Nado was very curious about the various facilities here, especially the long bamboo tube for running water. She liked it so much that she rushed to arrange the cooking the next day.

Mu Qing smiled. She estimated that Naduo was only a few years older than herself, but she looked older because of her long years of hard work and dark skin. Although she is Limang's sister, she often feels that Naduo is like her mother, mature and steady, and extremely protective of her. From then on, Mu Qing felt very happy to have her as his companion, as if he had an elder beside him.

As usual, Li Mang used a pulley rope to open the heavy wooden door at the entrance of the valley. With a creaking sound, the wooden door was opened. He was about to tie the rope and tie a knot to secure the door when a large black figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes and rushed towards him. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Xiao Hei!

Li Mang was surprised.

Xiao Hei has not been back for more than ten days. Although he is not as worried as Mu Qing, he still misses her a little. Seeing it suddenly appeared, after the surprise, thinking about Mu Qing's reaction after knowing it, I felt happy. He hurriedly fixed the wooden door and rubbed the little blackhead hard. Just as he was about to go in and tell Mu Qing the good news, he heard something behind him. When he looked back, he was really stunned.

A maroon leopard was walking around restlessly outside the wooden door. Taking a closer look, I saw that it was very similar to the one Lukan had seen that night.

When Mu Qing followed Li Mang and ran over breathlessly, he was shocked by what he saw.

Xiao Hei was lying outside the wooden door, whispering to a red leopard leaning against him. The two kept rubbing their bodies together, looking very affectionate.

Mu Qing stared blankly for a while, then suddenly realized something.

Having been with Xiao Hei for ** years, Mu Qing watched with her own eyes as it transformed from a little puppy that burrowed into her arms into the majestic and sturdy man it is now. Not only did Xiao Hei save her, he was also Li Mang's rightful helper. The whole family had a deep relationship with him. She knew that large mammals such as lions and small black animals usually enter estrus as adults when they are five or six years old. But Xiao Hei didn't respond for a long time. She was a little puzzled in the past. Sometimes she would even drive him out, hoping that he would find a suitable partner outside, but every time he would come back at night. After trying several times, he still couldn't. Just let it go. It seems that Xiao Hei has just reached sexual maturity, and then happened to encounter this little female leopard that aroused her interest. She chased him out without knowing what happened, and ended up abducting this fierce little female leopard who was originally her opponent. came back? Then I must have been with this female leopard in those previous days.

The later the sexual maturity, the longer the life expectancy? So Xiao Hei may not only live as long as an ordinary lion or tiger, but only twenty or thirty years?

Mu Qing was really eight parts happy and two parts sad. I am happy that Xiao Hei has finally found his close lover. The young, beautiful and fierce female leopard is a perfect match for him. The two points of sadness are very subtle, just like when your son finally marries a wife. Although the mother is looking forward to it day and night, she is afraid that she will listen to her wife and be separated from her.

"Xiao Hei!"

Mu Qing finally couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
