"That's it, you should go back and take care of the tribe than send us away. The group left the territory of the Chu tribe, Qi Linglin stopped Chu Qili's footsteps, "Although we are not as good at trekking as the merchants in the tribe, we will not run into danger. ”

Chu Qili stopped and greeted everyone: "Then I won't send it, speaking of which, I haven't visited the Qi tribe yet, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely bother." ”

Regarding Chu Hatli's official tone, Qi Linglin rolled her eyes and said perfunctorily: "Come if you want, wait for you at any time." And Mr. Qi on the side still looked at Chu Qili with some confusion, and he should still be struggling with whether to accept those extra gold coins.

Chu Qili nodded at him slightly, and handed over a look that reassured him. This detail was also discovered by Qi Linglin, "What are you doing with your eyebrows?"

Chu Qili, who was arrested, was a little embarrassed, searched his eyes, and prevaricated, "It's okay, my eyes are in the sand." ”

"Cut, who wants to know the same. Qi Linglin pursed her lips disdainfully, "Let's go, if you have any business in the future, don't forget our Qi tribe, I like a rich wronged person like you." ”

Dropping a word of separation, Qi Linglin waved his hand and led the group towards the desert. Chu Qili also said goodbye, waved his hand, and watched them drift away until the group completely disappeared from his field of vision.

Tightening the cotton clothes on his body, Chu Hatli shivered for a while, "It's so cold this day." Suddenly, as if something had touched his face, he raised his head, saw the swan feathers flying lightly, raised his palm above his head, and took the next piece, Chu Qili looked at his palm and muttered, "Actually, it's snowing?"

Seeing the heavy snowfall, Chu Qili hurriedly returned to the tribe, snow is rare in this desert north, not to mention the first time in the past five years. Although there is a saying that "Ruixue is a good year", he is more concerned about whether the houses in the tribe will be crushed by the snow than the moisture of the cultivated land next year.

Hurrying back to the tribe, Uncle Dog and a group of middle-aged people were also waiting next to Chu Hatli's residence. Seeing him coming, someone couldn't help but say, "Little chief, it's snowing, do you think we should repair and strengthen the houses of every house." Otherwise, it will be unlucky if there is a danger during the farewell ceremony. ”

"That's right, it seems that we can't be idle these days, everyone has worked hard. Chu Qili nodded and responded. The tribesmen had already prepared the food for the "New Year's ceremony" in advance, and even brewed some wine, plus enough cotton clothes for the winter. originally thought that they could have a good rest a few days before the "farewell ceremony", but God did not leave them such an opportunity.

"That's fine, everyone is a farmer, and they can't be idle. Uncle Goudan didn't feel troublesome, and said with a smile, "Besides, everyone walking the streets and alleys can also make the tribe more lively." ”

"Guys go back and bring your tools, and I'll go and carry some wood first. A few days before the New Year's ceremony, we will be busy for a while, and we will have a good rest and rest during the farewell ceremony!" Chu Qili gave an order, and everyone dispersed, preparing tools to repair the house.

For a few days, Chu Qili led everyone to walk through the alleys and reinforce the inhabited houses in the tribe in turn. These days, the swan feathers have no intention of stopping, generously wrapping this land in silver. The snow was getting deeper and deeper, but fortunately, Chu Hatli had completed all the repair work before a house was crushed.

Finally, the farewell ceremony came, the annual celebration moment, Chu Qili and the clansmen gathered together, this huge room was enough to accommodate a hundred or so people in the tribe. When he led the clansmen here, this house was the largest of the "broken walls", and at that time, Chu Qili and the others spent a lot of energy to repair it, and finally transformed it into this.

Although no altar was built, Chu Qili still led everyone to sacrifice wine to the sky in the snow, praying for good weather in the coming year.

Then he returned to this big house, set up a feast, and gathered everyone to enjoy delicious food and drink. Although it is impossible to do this every day, on the day of the farewell ceremony, Chu Heli did not plan to let everyone go home to solve the food problem by themselves.

After a few months, Wan'er and her party have fully integrated into this big family. The breeze, the summer flowers, the warm snow, the bright moon, the four little girls liked this warm atmosphere very much, and they frolicked with the few children in the tribe. As for Wan'er, she has been surrounded by a group of middle-aged women and old men. was constantly asked about her relationship with Chu Hatali, which also made Wan'er, who had always been steady, blush, and didn't know what to do.

The New Year's Eve Banquet was one of the most extravagant dinners in everyone's life, with all kinds of meat, wild vegetables and crops cooked into dishes and served on the table, and even wine made from grains was served to everyone. Although the tribe has long been hungry, in most cases only potatoes and some wild vegetables are used to satisfy hunger, and the occasional sight of some meat is an unexpected surprise.

The dishes on the table tonight always give everyone a feeling of having no regrets in life. The clansmen were overjoyed, pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and the words were full of expectations for the future and joy for the harvest.

Suddenly, a strange movement broke into Chu Qili's ears. He followed the sound to the door of the house, in order to protect against the wind and snow, the door bolt was **, but at this time there was a tremor on the wooden door, as if someone was striking from the outside. Everyone gradually noticed the sounds, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at the door.

With a bang, the wooden door was slammed open, and a ragged figure fell to the ground with the wooden door that had been knocked open, and the scarlet blood stains all over his body had been frozen by the wind and snow. The messy black hair was also bloodstained, frozen stiff by the wind and snow, and hammered straight behind him. Looking at such a poignant figure, everyone was shocked and gasped one after another.

Chu Qili urged the source qi, jumped out of the crowd, and rushed to the person's side. Holding the scarred figure to lie on his back on the ground, and brushing away the hair that was blocking her, Chu Qili recognized who this uninvited guest was.

"The chief's eldest daughter, Chu Yunyan?" Chu Ha frowned, maybe the changes in the tribe had happened, and he originally planned to use the winged bats to reconnoiter after the New Year's ceremony. Now it seems that there is no need for that, because the man in front of him will tell him everything.

Chu Qili turned his head to look at the stunned clansmen, and said loudly: "Uncle Godan, you bring two people to help me." The rest of the people continued to perform the farewell ceremony, and after the feast, everyone went back to rest. It's all with me!"

Uncle Goudan quickly greeted a man and a woman, got up and left their seats, and walked towards Chu Qili together. "I'll go too!" Wan'er couldn't sit still, shouted and left the seat, and whispered to a few girls on the side: "Qingfeng, when the banquet is over, you will take your sisters back to wash and sleep." ”

Chu Qili did not stop him, and picked up Chu Yunyan on the ground and walked home. Chu Yunyan noticed that there was someone beside him, so he spoke with difficulty, and whispered in his ear: "The big leader has rebelled...... United Yan tribe invasion... The Horde fell... Flee quickly, and he will not spare your ......."

"I see. Chu Qili heard the news, licked his lips, and said to Uncle Goudan beside him, "Uncle Goudan, when the banquet is over, you can also call the uncles and aunts who train together on weekdays together." ”

"No problem, little chief. Seeing that Chu Hate was sinking like water, Uncle Goudan didn't ask too much, nodded directly, and accepted the order.

Carrying Chu Yunyan to the house, Chu Heli was thinking about how to heal her injuries. Several people were fast, and when they returned home, Chu Qili helped Chu Yunyan lie down first, "Let's go boil some hot water, and you will help her wipe her body later." ”

Uncle Goudan took the two of them to the stove room to boil water, but Wan'er stood aside and glared at Chu Qili angrily. But Chu Geli didn't notice this, and instead took out a spirit seed that had just been exchanged, and used all creatures to carry out the spirit control, Chu Geli turned his head and said, "Help me get a bowl." ”

Wan'er moved when she heard the sound, but when she came back, she saw Chu Qili holding a familiar meat lingzhi in his hand———— sword wound. Chu Qili used the source qi to crush it into juice and put it into the wooden bowl that Wan'er had just brought. Looking at the familiar elixir, Wan'er couldn't help but recall the charm before, and covered her lips with a blushing face, "You ...... person"

Chu Qili also instantly recalled the embarrassing situation of the two of them at that time, and said apologetically: "At that time, I didn't understand the medicinal properties of the elixir, and I really didn't know that I could take it like this." ”

Chu Qili helped Chu Yunyan while lifting the mouth of the bowl to her mouth, assisting her to take the juice from the sword wound. Fortunately, Chu Yunyan's consciousness did not completely dissipate, and with her weak instinct, she swallowed the lower half of the sword wound by herself.

After Chu Qili helped Chu Yunyan lie down, he was busy with another bitter cypress of the Imperial Spirit. When the spirit was finished, Uncle Goudan and the other two arrived with hot water. Chu Qili quickly smashed the bitter cypress and said to Wan'er and another aunt: "Then please help her wipe her body, wipe it clean and apply this bitter cypress to the wound." ”

At this time, when his life was at stake, Wan'er didn't continue to be angry with him, and nodded. After explaining, Chu Qili withdrew from the room with Uncle Goudan and another middle-aged man.
