Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng stood there, and when Yao Hu and Dashi finished talking, the family returned to the courtyard.

Yaohu said to the brother and sister: "The Shenmu tribe is an old tribe, don't underestimate the enemy, ask Uncle Dashi's opinion more in case of trouble, do you know?" ”

"Got it!" The brother and sister replied.

Mu Feng patted Yao Xiaoqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I will watch my sister." ”

Seeing the harmony between the brother and sister, Yaohu showed a relieved smile, "Okay, go and rest!" ”

"You should rest early, too."

Yao Xiaoqing went back to the house, pulled out the dagger and put it on the bedside, took out the medicine, flashlight, lighter, and stones and put them in a small bag, and then washed up.

Early the next morning, everyone ate food in the cafeteria, took the food prepared by Yun Eminem, carried bows and arrows and baskets on their backs, disguised themselves as hunting, and walked in the direction of the Shenmu tribe.

The men walked along the mountain trail and caught two pheasants and hares. Approaching noon, entering a dense mountain forest, the shade of the trees blocked the sun, and Yao Xiaoqing felt a little cooler.

Mu Feng saw that she was sweating profusely, so he picked a big leaf and handed it to her, "Thirsty or not, Brother will bring you water." ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled at him and said, "Brother, I'm not thirsty, I'm carrying a bamboo tube on my back!" ”

Mu Feng nodded and followed her.

When they walked to a small stream, Muba looked back at them and said, "Let's rest here for a while." ”

Oishi nodded, "Okay." ”

Yao Xiaoqing found a big stone and sat down, looked at Muba and said, "Muba, how far is it from here to the Shenmu Tribe?" ”

Mu Ba pointed to the mountain forest on the other side of the stream, "Walking through the forest, there are several very tall sacred trees growing in the mountains in the past, and inside is the territory of the Shenmu tribe. ”

After Dashi sat down, he said with a smile: "When I was a child, I heard the old Abel in the tribe talk about the Shenmu tribe. He said that a long time ago, the Great Witch of the Shenmu tribe was the messenger of the gods, and those divine trees were used by the Great Witch to go to the heavens to communicate with the gods. ”

He leaned over to Dashi and sat down, looking at him curiously, "Their great witch can communicate with the gods, why is the great witch of the Shenmu tribe not as powerful as the great witch of Qiu Mountain?"

Dashi smiled and patted him on the forehead, "Stinky boy, you ask me, who will I ask?" ”

Everyone rested for a while, roasted the pheasant and rabbit and ate them, Yao Xiaoqing stood up, "Uncle Dashi, let's go!" ”

"Okay." Everyone stood up and walked towards the forest opposite.

When I was about to leave the woods, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the treetops, blurring a dazzling fiery red, and the smoke clouds floating in the forest were like a dream, as if I was in a fairyland.

Everyone hid in the forest, looking at the big trees in the mountain that seemed to rise into the sky, standing on the hillside, looking up and not seeing the canopy.

Yao Xiaoqing said to Da Shi: "Uncle Da Shi, there are so many of us going, it is easy to be discovered, it is best to find a tree to climb up and rest for a while, wait for the sky to get darker again, go to two people, and quietly go in to investigate." ”

Dashi glanced at the mountain below, "Okay, I'll go with Muba, you guys are waiting for us here." ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and said, "Uncle Dashi, let's go with Muba!" ”

Dashi thought of Yaohu's plan, nodded, and said to Muba: "Muba, take care of Xiaoqing." ”

Mu Ba responded: "Don't worry, I will take care of her." ”

Everyone found a tree to climb on.

Mu Feng followed Yao Xiaoqing to climb to the tree, took out the dried meat and handed it to her, and said to her, "Xiaoqing, you will rest on the tree later, and Brother and Mu Ba will go." ”

Yao Xiaoqing saw his disapproving look, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I run faster than anyone else, they can't catch me." You see, Uncle Oishi agreed with me to go. ”

Mu Feng scratched his head, "I'm just wondering, why would Uncle Dashi agree to let you go?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him with a smile, "Uncle Dashi knows that I can run faster than you!" ”

"Little girl," Mu Feng looked at her smug appearance and smiled dotingly, "Brother knows that you are very capable, so you can't be wrong to be careful." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded solemnly, "Got it." ”

Mu Feng handed her the bamboo tube with satisfaction, "Okay, hurry up and get something, you won't have the strength until a while." ”

"Brother, you eat too!"

Yao Xiaoqing took the bamboo tube with a smile, ate the dried meat with water, leaned against the trunk and squinted for a while, and the sky darkened.

Yao Xiaoqing tied the small bag around her waist and said to Mu Feng, "Brother, I'm leaving." ”

"Be careful." Mu Feng admonished.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled at him, and neatly descended the tree, standing under the tree and feeling that it was even darker below.

Mu Ba quickly got down from the tree and said to her, "Xiaoqing, let's avoid those few divine trees later, pass through the forest next to us, and go straight in the direction of the hill." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, you wait for me." ”

Mu Ba watched Yao Xiaoqing pull out a dagger and chop some small branches, weave a hat, and hand it to him, "Mu Ba, this one is for you to wear." ”

Mu Ba took it and put it on her head in confusion, looked at her and put another one on her head, and looked at the branches on her head, he suddenly understood what it was for. Laughing and giving a thumbs up, "The Green Witch is so smart. ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Let's go!" ”

Like two moving trees, the two went down the mountain and touched the bushes in the mountain, Yao Xiaoqing found that there were fields in the mountain, because they didn't know how to plant, the crops planted in the field were not as deep as weeds.

The two of them got through the bushes and quickly got into the woods, and it took a moment for the woods to get used to it.

The two of them swooped down in a muffled voice and slid quickly in the direction of the hill. Mu Ba watched Yao Xiaoqing walk through the woods like a spirit monkey, and thought to himself: What else is there that Qingwu can't?

After walking for more than ten minutes, Yao Xiaoqing saw the firelight, turned his head to look at Mu Ba, and saw that he was following, so he slowed down and touched forward lightly.

When he touched the edge of the forest, Yao Xiaoqing saw a row of wooden sheds in front of him, which were connected by wooden sticks tied to tree trunks.

The two sneaked to the back of the wooden shed lightly, and saw a goat and a wild deer tied to a wooden shed, and the shed next to it was closed, some wild things that Yao Xiaoqing didn't know.

Through the cracks in the wood, I saw several bonfires burning in a large open space, and there were men, women, and children sitting around the campfire, holding wooden bowls and eating food.

Yao Xiaoqing found that these people all had sad faces on their faces, and said secretly: Could it be that the Shenmu tribe has encountered a disaster?

At this moment a young man of medium stature wearing a feather crown and a short man came out of the cave. Without saying a word, the two of them turned around and walked towards the cave next to them.

That young man should be the leader of the Shenmu tribe, but who is the man with a sad face? It seems that the two are at odds. She felt that they had come too early, that they should have come later, and that they would come back when they had all fallen asleep.
