Tu Shan.

In a corner of the stone house, a group of women gather to sew animal skin clothing.

The pheasant used a stone knife to grind the tendons of the beast, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and spread out the animal skin coat to look at it, but found that he had sewn up the sleeves.

Biting Juan, who was sitting next to her, glanced at it: "Why are you so careless?"

The pheasant didn't speak, lowered his head and used a stone knife to re-sharpen the tendons sewn on his sleeves, and after a while, he said with a worried face: "You say...... Ye Xi, why hasn't he come back yet. ”

Biting Juan frowned: "Maybe the White Turtle Tribe has a guest." ”

"The White Turtle Tribe does not welcome outsiders, this is something that everyone knows. The pheasant immediately retorted, but his eyes looked at the bite, as if hoping that she would say something convincing to refute her.

The cuckoo glanced outside the door, it was overcast outside, and it was starting to rain again, but the chieftain and the others were still standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the water.

Biting Juan's heart suddenly chuckled. Won't it ...... Something really happened, right?

Pheasant and her, the two of them from the Wolf Tooth Tribe, were accepted by Tu Shan, and everyone was a little polite, because Ye Xi was there. Ye Xi's status in the clan is getting higher and higher, and their lives are getting better and better, and if something happens to Ye Xi, they ......

Thinking of this, Biting Juan approached the pheasant and said in a suppressed voice: "You say, will something happen to Ye Xi?"

"What are you talking nonsense!" a fierce shout rang out from the flat ground.

Before the pheasant could reply, another woman who was sewing a beast skin coat next to her stood up and glared at the bird viciously.

The other women also noticed it, and their eyes suddenly became unfriendly.

Biting Juan lowered her head and stopped talking.

Next to the cliff.

Chieftain, Putai, Yong, Mink...... A dozen people stood there, looking out at the water in the distance.

There was a muffled thunder in the clouds, and raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

But these people did not move at all, as if they did not notice that it was raining, and kept looking into the distance in silence.

The chief's companion, Duo, came out of the stone house, slowly walked to the chief's side, first glanced at the vast water, and then said to the chief in a gentle voice: "You haven't eaten since the morning, I have cooked some broth, let's go into the house and drink some." ”

The chief turned his head when he heard his wife's voice, and his voice was hoarse: "No, I'm not hungry, it's raining, you're not well, come into the house." I saw that the chief's eyes were red, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

Ye Xi didn't come back last night until sunset, everyone was worried, and the chief didn't sleep all night, standing on the cliff early in the morning and waiting.

Duo's eyes flashed with distress, and he comforted: "It's only been a day, don't worry, Ye Xi will be fine." ”

The chief was silent.

The corners of Duo's mouth twitched, and his tone became tough: "Didn't you pay attention, the people in the tribe are very uneasy now! Even their chief looks panicked, what do you let the others do?"

The chief was slightly shocked, stroked his face and said with a wry smile: "It's not that you don't know what Ye Xi means to Tu Shan, if something happens to him...... Alas. ”

As soon as these words came out, the mood of the others was even lower.

Duo wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he only sighed.

Mink suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, he looked at the water in the distance without squinting, and said lightly: "You all go back, I'll watch here, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." ”

Yongya sat down: "I'm also here to watch, what if you miss it alone." ”

The others have said that they are not leaving, and they are restless when they return to the house, so it is better to stay here.

At this time, the cone suddenly jumped up, pointed to the distance and said excitedly: "Come and see, is that the white turtle?

The others shook their heads when they heard this, and their eyes widened and they looked in the direction of the cone, and many of them bent their backs and upper bodies to hang in the air in order to see farther, and they were almost about to fall.

Everyone just stared motionless, waiting for the little white dot to get bigger and bigger.

After a while, the white dot grew bigger and bigger, and finally it was vaguely a white turtle.

"It's the white turtle, hahaha, it's the white turtle!"

"Ye Xi is back!"

After seeing it clearly, everyone cheered and jumped for joy, and the haze that had shrouded everyone's hearts since last night instantly dissipated.

Although it was raining at the moment, everyone's hearts were like a rainbow rising after the rain, and they were smiling one by one.

"I'll just say it's going to be fine, just worry about it, think too much!"

"Phew, you don't think much about what you're doing out there."

The chief exhaled a long breath, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden, he smiled and shook his head: "This kid, I don't know if we will be worried, what are we doing in the White Turtle Tribe for so long." ”

Duo also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Now you can go eat something, and besides, Wu sent someone to say something, and Wu seems to be a little worried." ”

Hearing the movement outside, the pheasants threw down their animal skin clothes and rushed out, looking at the small white turtle figure on the water in the distance in the rain, and happily hugging each other.

In the stone house of the witch.

Wu looked at the stone wall that was dimly illuminated by the fire, and couldn't calm down. His eyelids had been jumping since half an hour ago. Hearing the movement at this moment, Wu stood up and walked to the door, and asked the guard at the door through the stone slab, "What's going on outside?"

The guard had just received the news from the person sent by the chief, and happily replied: "If you go back to Wu, the chief sent someone to say that he saw the figure of the white turtle, Ye Xi and they are back!"

Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Ye Xi didn't return to the tribe last night, there was a trace of regret in his heart, reflecting on whether he had sent Ye Xi too hastily.

Hearing the news of Ye Xi's return at this moment, he finally put his mind at ease and slowly walked back to the rock platform.

But as soon as he took two steps, Wu stopped and pressed his eyelids - why were his eyelids still jumping?

Cliff side.

Everyone saw that the white turtle was getting closer and closer, and many people said that they would go to the bottom of the mountain to pick them up. And just as they were about to go down the mountain, they saw Wu actually come out of the stone house in the rain and walk towards them.

"Wu!"

Everyone was shocked, it was still raining, how could the witch come out. And why is Wu's face not very good...... The hearts of the crowd sank with joy.

The chief hurriedly greeted him: "Wu, it's raining outside, why did you come out?"

Wu didn't answer this question, and after looking around at the clansmen in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "You guys are going down the mountain, I'll go with you." ”

At the foot of the mountain.

I don't know if there are any water monsters in the water that can attack from a distance, so everyone didn't dare to get too close to the water's edge, and stopped after a dozen meters.

Cang Pan asked the cone next to him: "Hey, do you see if there is a water beast following next to the white turtle?"

The cone squinted his eyes for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened: "This water beast seems to be the one who gave us prey on the edge of the cliff last time!"

"Ah! It's the one that Ye Xi saved with a bow and arrow!" Cangpan had seen the bone rack in their room, and had heard them mention it, and he regretted not seeing it with his own eyes at the time.

On the water, the figure of the white turtle is becoming clearer and clearer.

When it was only about a hundred meters above the water, the water beast with a long neck plunged into the water and disappeared.

And everyone was shocked to see that the white turtle's head was actually bloody!

Everyone's hearts suddenly chuckled, and a shadow instantly enveloped their hearts.
