Chapter Seventy-Two
The wind blew the sandy land, and on a few small oases, the grass on the oasis had begun to turn yellow at the moment, and the wind blew a biting cold wind, which made people hurt.
The horses trampled on the stagnant water on the ground, and the waves splashed like a transparent and crystal clear flower, and the horses' hooves galloped by, and several men rode horses, most of them young and strong, except for two younger children, who looked a little struggling.
One of the black imps was held in front by his own brother, and the other child was wearing a white linen dress with a black bear fur coat on the outside.
Bai Mu looked at the scenery speeding in front of him, along the way, the group had already encountered the corpses of countless dead men, women and children on this strange route, most of these corpses had only human bones left, I don't know if it was because of the passing beasts or because of the cleaning of carrionous animals, the flesh and blood on the body were unusually clean, leaving only white bones.
"Sit tight." The man's voice came, which made people feel unusually relieved, Bai Mu's slightly trembling body suddenly stabilized, leaning on the man's chest, hearing the rhythmic beating of his heart, and suddenly relaxed his nervous mood.
No matter what lies ahead, as long as there are clansmen and Red War lords, there is no need to be afraid.
Shiraki's nervous little face relaxed slightly.
Unlike Bai Mu, Chi Zhan frowned, that's right, it's almost here, there is almost no trace of the distant sky on the edge of the vast sky in the distance, and there are as many corpses and bones as a cow's hair, and this survey will have results in a few days.
Suddenly, a cold hard object hit the man's handsome face.
Be...... Ice slag?
β¦β¦
The rain and the wind were like sails, the sky and the earth were vast, a reed leaf by the lake was like a light boat, and several young men and old men shrunk down to hide under the shade of the trees gathered together, but the sudden rainstorm was extremely heavy, and it fell on the huge leaves, and the leaves could not catch the rain that fell the size of soybeans.
In an inaccessible place, there are few people, and the elderly and children hug each other, warming each other at all times during the rainy season this summer.
The old man had a little reproach, and a little sigh looked at the woman running in the distance, the woman was holding some small wild fruits in her hands, these days the group walked slowly, can only walk slowly, relying on the rich wild fruits to survive, if it is not summer now, maybe a few people would have been hungry and unable to move.
"Ran Luo shouldn't stay, it's a pity for Ah Chuan, this kid, the wound has completely deteriorated, not to mention, the body has been hot......"
"That's right...... I'm afraid I can't stand it. The experienced old man sighed, looked at a few tribal orphans who couldn't keep up with their bodies and didn't have their parents to carry them, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, he turned his head with a whimper, mixed with the rain, I don't know if it was tears or tears, ticking and falling to the ground, making a crisp ding sound.
"It's okay to have a few of us old bones, it's just that these children are still so young, and there are many dangers along the way, I really don't know how far we can go with them......"
Geng Fu looked at the children in front of him, all of them were five or six years old, as for the babies who had lost their parents, they had long been abandoned on the side of the road, and the tribe could not stay for anyone, but could only ensure the safety of most people.
"Uncle Geng, give!" Ran Luo handed the wild fruit to Geng Fu, the old man was obviously stunned, as the only middle-aged soldier who was injured because of this, the wound on Geng Fu's foot was very severe, and it was already swollen and suppurated, but it was Geng Fu who took this group of old and weak women and children to stay in this ghost place for three days, enduring severe pain and using his familiar hunting skills to repel some small carnivorous beasts.
Taking the fruit in Ranluo's hand, Geng Fu was obviously slightly stunned, he reasonably distributed the food to a few children and the elderly, and he only took two small pieces of fruit that were only half the size of a palm, and ate them into his stomach at will.
Ranlo stepped aside and put the fruit in his son's mouth.
"Mother, they said I was going to die, am I really going to die?" The frail child's face was pale, his eyes were slightly closed, and his eyelids were covered with a thick layer of excrement from the eyes, which had made it impossible for the child to open his eyes.
Ran Luo patted the young man's forehead with his hand and hugged Ah Chuan deeply, "No, no, my Ah Chuan will be fine!" Grandma will be with you, don't be afraid. β
Feeling the tears on his face, Agawa's chapped lips couldn't make a sound.
"If your mother doesn't cry, Achuan won't die, Achuan will be fine! Ah Chuan also has to take care of his mother! The sensible boy raised his small arm weakly, and patted Ranluo's rain-soaked hair.
Ah Chuan smiled, and then passed out again.
Ran Luo hugged the young man in his arms, he didn't know what to say, the sudden glacier disrupted everything, if it weren't for these, if there was no natural disaster, the tribe would not have migrated, and his family would not have left him one by one, including his husband, and now he finally has his son?
In order to live to migrate, but if to live is to lose all family members, is it still necessary?
If I had known that this was the case, I would have ...... I would choose to stay in the tribe.
Geng Fu's dark eyes didn't know what he was thinking, he walked up to Ran Luo, touched Ah Chuan's forehead with his hand, and the scorching temperature made Geng Fu feel a slight burning heat.
Ranluo, who seemed to have grasped the last bit of hope, looked at Geng Fu expectantly, only to see that the man still shook his head, "Ranluo, you should leave with the tribe......"
The silent sigh was like a long sigh in the sound of the dripping rain.
The sky is divided into long irregular pieces of cloth by the drift clouds, and the clouds are cirriling, and the patterns are different and beautiful.
After the daily patrol of several Yanyi warriors, they sat together and roasted the freshly caught hare, which was roasted yellow and decorated with some spices, giving off an enticing aroma.
Several men sat around and ate.
"You said that if the tribe really doesn't want slaves in the future, can we still be like this in the future?"
"What's the difference? You don't have to hunt yourself to have meat to eat! β
"That's different, hunting is hunting, slaves are slaves!"
"Still different? I'm just saying that there are a few of us who support Ah Wu! β
The black-faced man with the scar across his entire face sat aside, and when he heard the words of the clansman, he nodded obviously, and the usually indifferent man took the initiative to pick up the words.
"I, support."
A warrior on the side sighed and said, "If only Wu could come earlier, otherwise the tribe wouldn't have taken ...... last winter Ate that little slave of mine, in fact, I really can't bear that child, what a child, about the same age as my son. β
"My son would rather be hungry than eat a bite of meat."
"Yes, yes, my family too, in fact, as far as I know, there are several warriors in the tribe who have people they like, and they are all female slaves of the tribe."
"That's right!" Saying that, the man unconsciously glanced at the scar-faced man sitting next to him, the man was holding a piece of meat in his hand, eating, and hearing the words of several people, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
β¦β¦
Yue Lin stupidly tried to stand at a distance, but the sound of the tribesmen was already loud, not to mention the rough mulberry of several big men, which could be heard clearly from afar.
Is this an endorsement of oneself?
Wu Chen pulled Yue Lin and walked slowly, then pulled the person into the grove, smiled and hugged Yue Lin in his arms, "Don't worry now, I tell you not to worry, most of the tribe will support you." β
"If you think about it, people have feelings, and if they live with those slaves for a long time, they will actually be reluctant, and I am the same, before...... I never asked for a tribal slave after that slave disappeared, and I would rather clean my own things than have one more person. β
"Yanyi is a tribe with a relatively large number of slaves in the wilderness, so in the past, there was not enough food in winter, so we would eat slaves, and in other tribes...... If there are not enough slaves, then there will be only eaters of the tribesmen. β
Yue Lin leaned crookedly into Wu Chen's arms and twisted his brow with his hand, "I'll accompany you, don't worry about me being eaten." β
Wu Chen sneered, hugged the young man from behind Yue Lin, and then the two fell to the ground: "Whoever dares to eat you, I will kill him first!" β
One turned over, with a few weeds hanging on his forehead, and Yue Lin rubbed his eyes, and his stunned and cute expression made the man feel hot and dry.
The sky was covered with green shades, and there were some white halos falling through the small holes of the leaves, and the more I noticed the man sitting on him, his eyes were like lust, as if he was going to burn people to death, burn off his clothes, and the burning gaze made people feel as if they were naked at the moment.
"You don't think about ......" blushed into a big apple and looked at the man more and more.
The man tilted his neck, his dark eyelashes and a few strands of hair were casually draped over his shoulders, he looked at the young man slightly, and then raised the corners of his mouth to show a good-looking smile, and his uninhibited eyes revealed a bit of scoundrel nature.
The man leaned down, his scorching breath swept over the earrings, and said something that made people blush, "Yes, I want to be with you." β
His face was flushed, and he shook his body and breathed a little shorter, "You get up, ......"
"I want to you." The man's face was close enough to feel the other's snort, to hear the breathing, a good-looking face, but to say scoundrel words.
ββ¦β¦β
ββHarmonyββ
The breeze was blowing and there was a chill in his face, and the tall man was galloping through the meadow on a horse with a simple saddle on his back, on which the man sat and pulled up the horse's bowed head with the reins.
"This horse is really good to ride, if I walk with my feet, how can I walk for a while to get there, now it saves too much time, but after hunting, it is not very convenient to bring back the prey."
Wuyang hesitantly glanced at the pile of prey on the ground, and then frowned slightly, sure enough, there were too many prey caught, and it was not winter, so the meat could not be made into bacon sausages for storage.
Just when Wuyang hesitated a little, a tall and thin Yanyi warrior in the distance hurriedly ran towards the crowd, throwing things as he ran, and even the bow and arrow in his hand were thrown on the ground.
"Lord Chief, Lord Chief, there are a lot of people over there, it seems to be a tribe of merchants, I see that there are men and women." The tall and thin man ran in front of Wuyang, pointed to the distance with both hands, looked at Wuyang with reverence, and said breathlessly.
Wuyang's brows furrowed slightly, only the Gale Caravan on this road will go to business, who else will go to business here?
"A lot of people?"
"Yes, and! I saw them gathering twigs and other things, like ...... I was not going to leave, but I saw a few small newly built mud houses, and a new tribe was going to be built around here! β
Wugu, who came with him for the fourth time, looked at his father suspiciously, this is Yanyi's territory, not everyone can come here to live, if there is one more tribe, it means that there is a qiΔ here, and Yanyi has to share with this new tribe, which means less food, more disputes!
"Abba...... Let's go over and have a look? β
Wugu looked at Wuyang hesitantly and asked in a low voice.
Yuan Meng raised his head and looked at Wuyang, hesitated for a moment, and said his thoughts: "Chief, the food captured by the tribe's hunting can be brought back first, as long as a few people go over to check, do they want to settle here, if we go over together, it will be easy to cause unnecessary trouble, and they are likely to be more than us, after all, this time we only came out with a small number of Yanyi warriors, if there is a conflict, it will not be good for us." β
Wuyang nodded, calmed down, and said, "Yuanmeng has a point, tall and thin, you take us over to take a look first, and then we are making a decision." β
Gao Thin nodded, and after passing through the grass and some low bushes, Yuanmeng, Wuyang, Zuoshan, and Zuofeng all gasped at this moment.
The scene before me was not a tribe at all, only a dense nest of shelters made of some licorice hides, and in this land, a group of men and women, old and young, dressed in different styles of clothing, some with strange and mysterious patterns painted on their bodies.
"Huh? How come I haven't seen you! The child had a pair of extremely bright eyes, revealing curiosity, and then he grinned and said with a smile.
"I see, you must be some other tribe that came here, right?"
The boy smiled slightly, then looked at Wuyang, thinking that he had guessed correctly.
In the distance, a girl in a small white coat scolded the young man, and then hurriedly ran over and pulled the young man over, "Xiao Jiu, come here, you little naughty, don't make the adults of other tribes angry!" β
"I'm sorry adults, Xiao Jiu is naughty, I didn't cause you trouble!" The girl saw the clothes and bearing on Wuyang's body, and took two steps back with a little fear, but she still had to stand up for her younger brother, although her own tribe is not small, but among so many tribes, she really doesn't dare to offend people casually.
"Nope." Wuyang nodded, smiled kindly, the girl in front of her was wearing a whip, drooping in her ears, dressed poorly but flawed, she was a good-looking and beautiful little girl, if she had a daughter, she would definitely be so cute, she wouldn't be as eccentric and disobedient as the eldest son, and she wouldn't be as ...... There are many problems.
