『Chapter error, click here to report』
Li Ji stayed in the Mulan tribe for three years, staying with a group of big children all day long, but his mood changed dramatically, from impatient and irritable to now comfortable.
This unusual way has sublimated his state of mind to another state of honor and disgrace, which is not an easy state to achieve, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged, even many high-level monks may not be able to do this, this is not something that can be done through cultivation, and he, in teaching children to read, but in the mouth of a chicken and a duck to do it.
Mulan is ten years old this year, Li Ji's arrival has turned her life upside down, every three or five days, Mr. will always go out to the wasteland, or camels, or sand sheep, always hunt one or two back, part of it is cooked for the children to eat, and the other part is directly thrown to Mulan's aunt, so in the past three years, Wang Bao's family has never lacked meat.
Not only meat, but also a lot of vegetables and fruits that they had never seen before, some of which were only eaten by the nobles on the other side of the Hongshui River, not to mention all kinds of sweets and snacks.
In a word, this family was fed with rich food by Li Ji, the complexion was ruddy and no longer gray, the hair was shiny and no longer dry, and the body shape soared.
The biggest question of this family in the past three years is why did the husband take a fancy to their family? Li Ji's fate could not solve the doubts in their hearts, the children were better, they did not know much about the world after all, but the two adults did not necessarily think so.
No matter what they think, how can they resist such a change when they see that the children are getting stronger day by day and learning to read and write? As the head of the family, the taciturn king has his own way.
He has his own dignity and the pride of the tribesmen's self-improvement, so although his family situation has changed significantly, he has never stopped going out to hunt as dangerously as usual, even if there are still a few cattle and sheep hanging in the tent at home, even if the harvest of the hunting team going out for more than ten days is not as good as that of Mr. going out casually.
His actions satisfied his pride and cost him his life!
When the hunting party returned, the children were studying, and they didn't really have much time to spend in a day reading and literacy, and most of the children had to help the adults in the family with some of the work, and the time they were allowed to go out to study was limited.
Li Ji never insisted on this, if because of their literacy, they neglected the basic hunting ability of the wasteland people, which was not necessarily a good thing.
Several people were injured and three were killed, and they were carried back; to Li Ji's surprise, the children who had lost an important pillar of the family did not show the extreme sadness and grief that children should have, perhaps, they were just used to seeing life and death, and they were used to seeing that when the hunting party came back, there were always one or two fewer than when they set out.
Children in the wasteland always experience disaster and pain earlier than city children. It was only when they returned to their tents and the family gathered around the corpse that they let out a low, muffled tearing howl.
According to the people who came back, the casualties did not occur in the contest with the beasts, but with the people, and another neighboring tribe - the Flying Eagle Tribe, the reason they did not hide, it was the Mulan hunting team itself that was greedy, and entered the hunting range of other tribes when chasing the beasts, so the dispute was inevitable, and the way for the wastelanders to resolve the dispute was very simple, very wasteland, that is, with the bow, arrow and spear in their hands.
There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, even by Li Ji's side, the people he is close to are not necessarily innocent, just, and without fault, this is life.
Li Ji also has no intention of standing up for others, this is not what he should do, there are rules for the survival of the wasteland, he can't take revenge blatantly because this is his kind family, this may make the Mulan tribe famous for a while, and no one dares to provoke, but when he leaves, the Mulan tribe will be slaughtered, unless he can tie the entire tribe behind his ass forever.
The man of the wasteland, who died in the wasteland, deserved it.
But the matter is not over, three days later, nearly 100 warriors of the Flying Eagle tribe arrived at the Mulan camp, according to them, the Mulan tribe has often entered the Flying Eagle territory to hunt in recent years, taking advantage of this incident, asking the Mulan tribe to compensate, as for the previous losses of the Mulan people, they think that their side also died two at that time, so it is impossible to talk about who takes advantage of who suffers.
Relatively speaking, the Flying Eagle tribe is higher than the Mulan people in terms of population, territory, number of warriors and bravery, so the Wasteland people have always thought that the Mulan people are weaker than the Flying Eagles, and even most of the Wasteland tribes, just because the territory of the Mulan tribe is located in the west of the Hongshui River, and the powerful Xiuzhen forces are across the river, so no one takes a fancy to this tricky place, after all, the tribes with a little strength are not willing to live under a strong threat, but I don't know why they changed their original attitude this time?
"The wastelanders cannibalize each other, it doesn't benefit anyone, it's impossible for the Flying Eagle tribe not to understand this truth, why do they insist on provoking an inter-tribal war?"
Li Ji stood inside the earthen wall with many Mulan men holding weapons, and asked the three elders beside him, relatively speaking, this three elders are the most enlightened and knowledgeable of the Mulan people, and they have traveled a lot of places when they were young.
The three elders sighed, "There is a mountain in the Flying Eagle Tribe, the famous Eagle Yang Mountain, the mountain is thousands of feet high, the strange wind is howling, it is very strange, in the past two years, there have been famous immortals on the Eagle Yang Mountain, calling the wind to do it, occupying it as a nest, and prohibiting the tribe mortals from approaching.
The Eagle Yang Mountain is the most abundant hunting place of the Flying Eagle Tribe, this is forbidden to hunt, it will cut off a small half of the source of wild food, to survive, only to open up the territory and merge the territory elsewhere, around my Mulan is the weakest, if you don't come here, where will you go?"
Li Ji is silent, under the pressure of survival, weakness is the original sin!
Tribal warfare, in fact, is a war that kills adult men and plunders women, girls and children; there are no natural disasters, everyone can live, and nature gets along without fighting, but if there are irresistible factors such as the wasteland white hair disaster, animal tides, droughts, plagues, etc., in order to survive, there will naturally be wars and chaos, one is to find the land that can live, and the other is to reduce the pressure of the population, Mulan's parents died under such a disaster, this is the self-regulation of nature, no one can fight.
However, this disaster was obviously man-made, not so intense, but the high monks did not care how the mortals of the tribe could survive, for the monks, they were just ants, not worth mentioning.
