Qingliao Village and Nigu Village have a long history, and they have a set of contact methods with each other, and it is easy to identify the traces left by each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when he got the bark, Li You couldn't see why, he only saw some messy lines carved on the bark, and he couldn't read any meaning from it.

It is also difficult for Marin to explain the meaning of these lines, these are conventional things, and do not have the meaning of words, and he himself is illiterate, let alone able to answer Li You's questions from the level of culture.

However, after Ma Lin's explanation, Li You understood that the bark left by the Nigu Village probably meant that the three hunters of the Nigu Village were tracking a female haired man and had been chasing for nearly six days, and they seemed to have found something on the way.

Marin speculated that the hunters of Niguzhai discovered the Maoshan population when they were tracking the female Mao, which is why they pursued them so persistently. But Marlin's face was just as ugly.

This area is the sphere of influence of Qingliao Village, although Nigu Village has a good relationship with Qingliao Village, but according to the law of survival between the mountains and forests, once the rare prey enters the territory of others, it should stop the pursuit, otherwise it is also necessary to send someone to inform the head of the village in the area, and after hunting the target, pay a certain reward. The pay doesn't have to be very high, but it's a minimum of respect.

But obviously, Niguzhai did not do this. Of course, it is also very likely that the hunters of Niguzhai do not have time to deal with this matter, after all, the hairy man is extremely precious but at the same time a fierce guy, three hunters to deal with a female hairy person, can only be said to be evenly matched, once one is missing, the relationship between the hunter and the prey, it is not surprising that the relationship between the hunter and the prey is likely to change suddenly.

"Are we going to find the hunter of Niguzhai" Marin was silent on the surface, but in his heart he was very dissatisfied with Niguzhai's disregard for the rules.

As a new leader who had just killed the old lord and became the new leader, he cared very much about his dignity and prestige. This matter is not big, but it is not small or small, if it is not handled well, the authority that has been barely gathered by bloody means will be swept away, and it is okay for now, after Li You and his party left, the people who were suppressed by him in Qingliao Village did not tear him to pieces.

Marin hoped that Li You and the hunters of Nigu Village would have some controllable skirmishes, and then resolve them through his mediation. In this way, he can not only stabilize his position in the hearts of the villagers, but also let the people of Nigu Village admit the fact that he has become the new owner of Qingliao Village, and the last point is to let Li You see that he is useful and not an abandoned son who can be discarded at any time. Ma Lin, who personally experienced Li You's forced killing of Ma Gui and others, would not be naïve to believe that Li You's punishment of Qingliao Village had come to an end.

Li You groaned for a while, but shook his head. It is true that he has a strong interest in savages. But he is also clear that it is not advisable to make extraneous branches. There was a hint of disappointment in Marin's eyes, but he didn't have any rebuttal to Li You. Just sighed. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. This is not a resentment towards Li You, but a dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Niguzhai hunters.

But what can you do if you are dissatisfied, although the number of people in Nigu Village is small, but the combat effectiveness is really not weak, plus they are the descendants of the guardian of the holy mountain, the original owner of the village has to put down his body to say hello when he sees them, and he can change this fact

Li You watched Marin walk away with a tangled face, and he was also a little confused in his heart. He is never ambiguous in major matters, but Li You doesn't quite understand the thinking of the mountain people and the things he cares about. found that Marin was not happy, but Li You was a little vigilant in his heart, worried that this guy had a plan in his heart, so he called Sun Buchang and Mo Fangyuan, and asked the two to monitor Marin, if they found that this guy was abnormal, they would capture and deal with it.

After the camp is stationed, some of the ink people lie down to rest, some of them go to a nearby place to fish and hunt, the villagers of Qingliao Village go to collect dry firewood to live, and the people wash rice and cook rice, and the camp is quiet and peaceful.

Li You also got off the sliding rod at this time, moved his muscles and bones after a bumpy day, sat on a stone by the river, and watched the insects moving on the ground.

A black-brown bug on the rock attracted Li You's attention. The bugs look like horses, but they are more slender than horses, and they slowly climb on the rocks, with long tentacles deep and constantly exploring their surroundings. It seemed to notice Li You's existence, and it cringed a little, and it was very interesting to go backwards away from Li You's position.

Seeing this scene, Li You felt so surprised. He has been rolling in the mountains and forests for a long time, and he is also very familiar with the insects and insects in the mountains and fields, although most of them cannot be named, but they are always familiar. He had only seen countless snakes and insects, but he had never seen a worm that could crawl upside down.

Picking up a dead branch, Li You gently knocked on the little insect. But under such a knock, Li You was taken aback. Suddenly, the insects scattered in all directions, like a frightened mass of ants, fleeing in all directions. Only then did Li You discover that this was not just a worm, but a queue of countless smaller bugs.

"What is this," Li You's jaw almost dropped. After the insects dispersed, they were very fast, but after they landed, they quickly formed a queue again, returned to normal, and slowly crawled into the stone crevices.

Li You's face was entangled. He had seen a lot of strange things, but the one in front of him was not terrifying, but the most novel and weird.

Finding Marlin and telling him what he had seen before, Marlin shook his head and said two syllables. But there is no direct translation of these syllables in Chinese. However, Marin made a gesture and told Li You that the mountain people thought that the insects he saw were the result of some people who had died lost in the forest. Their souls wandered in the forest, but they couldn't leave, and eventually turned into insects, one after another, trying to rely on collective strength to get out of the forest and reincarnate in the outside world. And the bugs, though weird, die and melt when they are poured with wine.

"Isn't this weird" Li You suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen in some book that there was a bug called "weird", which was said to be the soul of a person, and it would disappear when he poured wine. I just can't remember what I saw in a book.

Li You wanted to try the wine, but the strange insects in the cracks of the stones didn't know where they had gone. I had no choice but to give up.

The smoke of the cooking in the camp rose up, and watching the sky gradually darken, Li You suddenly squinted his eyes and turned his head to stare at the mountains and the vast forest sea near and far. He suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him from a distance.
