The five newly built mud houses, also on a gentle slope on high ground, are made of sun-dried mud bricks with sturdy earthen walls, and the roof is built with wooden beams from the timber reserves. The neat layout looks like a small village on the shore of a lake from a distance.

The extra wood everyone worked together to make a few wooden doors, which were tightly closed in the door frame, and everyone touched the earthen wall very strangely, which was much more comfortable than living in caves and tents.

Therefore, when they heard Ah Liang's words, they were puzzled, and they couldn't wait to live in it.

The tree blushed even more, and said with some displeasure: "This is the house of the leader and the witch doctor, you can't live here, you don't want to live with me, you can find someone at will." ”

Ah Liang's expression looked a little uneasy, he silently walked to Qin Yue and stood next to him, and said sullenly, "Can't I live with you?"

Live with her?

Qin Yue looked at him in surprise, this kid had indeed relied on her too much recently, but she obviously didn't realize that he had this idea, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"No, you can't. A majestic and cold voice came, and Liang Jian walked towards them, glancing at Ah Liang with cold eyes, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Ah Liang bit his mouth silently and looked down at the ground.

Qin Yue sighed, "I'll talk to him." ”

After speaking, he pulled Ah Liang out of the courtyard.

The two walked all the way to the lake, the lake overflowed the lakeside, and the shore was covered with tender green grass, which was soft under their feet.

Qin Yue didn't wear shoes under her feet, and the soles of her feet were fluffy and itchy, she was not used to it, so she sat on the ground casually, raised her head and squinted at Ah Liang.

Liang Jian looked at the two people sitting and standing by the lake from a distance, watched silently for a while, and then raised his feet and left without saying a word, leaving the tree in place and scratching his head.

"Why don't you want to live with them?" Qin Yue was straightforward, Ah Liang was still silent for a while, but she could reply if she asked three questions.

She knew in her heart that Ah Liang was dependent on her, like a drowning man catching a straw for survival, he must have suffered a lot for the captives in the Black Wolf Tribe, so when he met someone who was really good to him, he was easy to become dependent.

But he has to have his own life, he has to take the first step in interacting with people, and he can't always shrink into his own corner.

Ah Liang stood upright, with a trace of sadness in his big eyes, and refused to say a word.

Qin Yue was keenly aware of it, so she raised her hand and gently stroked him, and said softly, "Is there anything you can't say to me?" After a pause, she thought that when Ah Liang slept in the hall, he always shrank alone in the corner of the wall, even if it was cold, he had to stay away from everyone.

Then he asked, "Did they bully you?"

Ah Liang was stunned and shook his head.

"You're afraid of them?"

Ah Liang was stunned and nodded slowly.

Finding the crux of the problem, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't understand why he was afraid of them. These people are honest and simple, work weekdays, and when they get acquainted with each other, they frolic together, and they get along well.

Only Ah Liang is an alternative, he doesn't associate with them, he only follows Qin Yue on weekdays, if he doesn't see that he is still young, he will also go out hunting with them.

If you can't figure it out, you can't ask if a teenager hasn't experienced something bad, he won't be so resistant to the people around him.

She pulled Ah Liang to sit on the grass next to her, her eyes fixed on him, and her voice slowed, "Tell me, why are you afraid of them?"

Fear flashed in Ah Liang's eyes, his fingers clenched, and he shook his head violently, "I don't want to live in a room with them, Sister Ah just lives in a cave with them, and she dies later." ”

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, a little unconvinced, "They killed your sister?"

Ah Liang shook his head with tears in his eyes, "It's not them, it's people like them." ”

Qin Yue patted him on the back to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, the people of the tribe will not harm you, you are not your sister, no one will harm you." ”

Presumably this is the shadow of his childhood, primitive life is like a mustard, and the clansmen can be thrown on the mountain before they lose their breath, not to mention that they have become captives, but their relatives died tragically in front of him, no wonder it will become his nightmare.

She couldn't ask for details, but she could guess that this was not a matriarchal society, and that female primitives who could not hunt and could only gather had a low status in the tribe, and that a female captive was pulled into a cave by a group of men.

No wonder he was afraid of men and refused to live with them. It's just that Ah Liang is also a half-sized child, and he shouldn't be so afraid of men.

Ah Liang's facial features are exquisite, his big eyes are upturned and his nose is upturned, and his pointed chin has raised flesh for a while, and he is a little rounder, and he looks like baby fat, if it is not for his dark skin, he looks no different from a beautiful child on the earth.

She looked up and down with thought, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he didn't look like a boy, thinking of a possibility, she slowly asked him: "Ah Liang, are you...... Is it a boy or a girl?"

Ah Liang raised his head, his big eyes stunned, "...... Girl. ”

Qin Yue was speechless for a long time, and asked like a child: "Then how old are you?"

Ah Liang seemed to be puzzled why she asked this, she was stunned for a moment, and counted with her fingers, Qin Yue taught her to count when she was idle, "Thirteen." ”

Thirteen-year-old girl, no wonder she was so afraid, Qin Yue felt that she was derelict and treated her as a boy from beginning to end, but looking at the reactions of the rest of the tribe, it is estimated that no one recognized her as a girl.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue felt better, reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "You are a girl, naturally you can't live with them, but it's not convenient to live with us, you can't always sleep alone in the hall." When girls are older, they also need to have private space, so I let the trees and mountains live in one room, and you live in one room alone, are you so afraid?"

Ah Liang nodded obediently and shook his head again, "I'm not afraid to sleep by myself, I used to sleep by myself." ”

Qin Yue smiled and nodded, happy in her heart, she finally had a girl as her companion, and she didn't know how depressed she was when she faced a group of big men every day.

"Let's go, I'll go talk to them. She got up, took Ah Liang's hand and walked back, and turned her head to look at her messy hair, "Your hair should also be trimmed, girls still have to dress up." ”

"Don't. Ah Liang covered his hair with one hand and refused in a low voice, "Sister said that my hair can only be like this." ”

Qin Yue stared at her for a while, and understood, presumably this was also her sister's means for her to let her protect herself, most of the female primitives here would also dress themselves, before Dashan was the daughter of the leader, her hair was also taken care of with a feather crown, and she also wore a beast tooth necklace on her body.

Other female primitives don't have this condition, but most of them will comb their long hair with five fingers, and they won't be as messy as Ah Liang, only male primitives will hold a messy chicken nest head.

She leaned over and put her hands on Ah Liang's shoulders, looking at her with her eyes, "You are a girl, your hair can't be so messy, you don't have to be afraid, no one here can bully you." Your sister is gone, I will be your sister in the future, and I will protect you, you know?"
