Wang Lang, who was worried about his wife and children, and Lin Huo rushed to the grassland residence non-stop, and did not even stop to rest at night.

In the second half of the night, the two of them, who had been in the dust all the way, finally arrived at their destination.

The two rode a deer to the gate of the tribe village, and Lin Huo shouted loudly: "Open the door, the leader is back!" ”

Heijiao, who was in charge of the night, hurriedly climbed up to the high platform when he heard the sound, and saw two vague figures below, but the light was too dim for him to see who was coming.

To be on the safe side, Blackhorn asked, "Who's down there, name it?" ”

Lin Huo heard the voice of Hei Jiao, and hurriedly said, "Jiao, I am Lin Huo, and I am back with the leader." ”

When Heijiao heard this, he confirmed the identities of the two, and hurriedly climbed down from the high platform, opened the gate of the village, and welcomed the two in.

Wang Lang jumped off the deer, didn't care about greetings, and hurriedly asked, "Are the stars born?" ”

Heijiao smiled: "She hasn't given birth yet, and several women in the tribe are taking care of her, and now they are asleep." ”

Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, since he was asleep, it was not good to disturb others to rest so late, so he asked Heijiao to lead the two deer aside and tie them up, and the three of them found a few wooden piers to sit down.

In the hurry that came in just now, the two of them didn't even come to check the changes in the tribe, but now that they were relaxed, Wang Lang noticed the changes in the tribe's wall, the rammed earth wall could only see the general outline at night, it looked more than three meters high, and it could already be said to be a small city wall.

Such a city wall, although extremely simple, but with the current level of human technology and warfare, it is basically impossible to break through from the outside, as long as the tribe has enough food and water, it is not a problem to defend it for a month.

Heijiao saw Wang Lang looking at the wall, and said proudly: "Lang, this wall is not bad!" ”

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Very good, with this wall, as long as the defense is effective, this place is absolutely safe." ”

"We didn't expect to build such a wall, and after we finished it, that guy with strong teeth was excited for a long time." Blackhorn laughed.

Wang Lang smiled and said, "What about the prisoners, how are they now?" ”

"Those captives, we've put them in cages, right over there." With that, Black Horn pointed to a corner of the tribe.

"Let's go, take me to see it." Wang Lang said.

Black Horn nodded, and led the two of them towards the cage where the captives were kept.

The two captives were held next to the livestock, the feces and urine of the animals in the pens smelled unpleasant, and they looked at the two sleeping slaves in the cages, and it was obvious that the two had adapted to such a harsh life during this time.

"Listen to Lin Huo, a prisoner died, what's going on." Wang Lang asked.

"When the dead one was caught, he was already on his legs, we hung him up and beat him before, and after you left, he died, and we dug a pit by the water to bury the corpse." Blackhorn said unconcernedly, as if it was just an insignificant worm that had died.

"Is that the hard-mouthed guy?" Wang Lang asked.

Heijiao shook his head and said: "No, that guy is very hard, we all thought he wouldn't survive, but I didn't expect that he would get better in two days, and it was that guy lying in the innermost place." ”

Wang Lang looked into the cage, the light was too dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only to see a blurred figure curled up on the ground.

Wang Lang didn't pay much attention to the two slaves, and sat down on the wooden pier again.

"What about those who were rescued, what about now, there is no trouble." Wang Lang asked.

Heijiao smiled: "How can you make trouble, these people work harder than us after eating a few full meals." ”

"Do they speak our language?"

"I can speak a little, I can communicate simply, and there are a few who learn quickly and can understand our words, but they are not fluent."

Wang Lang yawned, didn't ask, kept hurrying all the way, and now he felt that some eyes couldn't be opened.

Heijiao saw the tired appearance of Wang Lang and said, "Lang, you go and rest for a while, it's not too late to talk about something at dawn." ”

The two nodded, and Black Horn led them to his own house where they could rest.

Lin Huo looked at this very spacious thatched house and said with a smile: "This guy from Heijiao is quite good at enjoying it, living in such a big house alone." ”

This house, which is about twenty years old, is definitely a big house in the tribe, but Wang Lang, who is used to seeing high-rise houses, just didn't have any surprise, yawned and said, "Sleep!" ”

Lin Huo nodded, and the two found an open space and slept on the ground.

The next day, when the early risers heard that the leader had returned, they blamed Noire for not informing him, which made Noire very embarrassed.

The stars with a big belly looked at the room in the black corner, where there was a husband who came to see him despite his exhaustion, and he was very moved, touched his belly, and smiled happily.

The people of the tribe quietly gathered around the house in Heijiao, and everyone did not dare to say it loudly, for fear of affecting Wang Lang's rest.

When the sun rose and the sun shone into the thatched house, Wang Lang slowly opened his eyes, pushed the forest fire that was still snoring, rubbed his somewhat numb face, and the two walked out of the door.

When the two of them came out, they saw everyone standing quietly outside the door, and both of them jumped.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Huo said.

Black Horn scratched his head and said, "I just told them that the leader was back, and they didn't listen to my persuasion, so they just waited for you to come out." ”

Wang Lang looked at the sun, it is estimated that these people have been waiting here for more than two hours, and he was a little moved in his heart, he was not surprised that his leader could be loved by so many people, looking at a pair of adoring eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm really sorry to make everyone wait for so long." ”

"Great Chief, what does it matter if we wait a while, if you hadn't taken us in, we wouldn't have been able to imagine that there was such a beautiful place in the world." An old man said tremblingly as he crawled on the ground.

Wang Lang hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "Elder, we don't need to kneel here, you are all my clansmen." ”

When the old man heard this, he was moved to tears, and said in a choked voice: "You are the most merciful leader I have ever met, and only a leader like you can make this a place where the gods live." ”

Wang Lang was a little embarrassed to be so praised by the old man, the current tribe was not as good as the remote and backward poor ravines in his opinion, but in the eyes of these people, this was already a paradise on earth.

After Wang Lang calmed the overly excited old man, he chatted with the others for a while, and his eyes stayed on the stars.

When everyone saw this, they all dispersed with interest, and they all knew the purpose of Wang Lang's return this time, to leave space for the two of them to be alone.
