From seven o'clock in the morning to twelve noon, all the people in the tribe were restless. They had been waiting for a young man, a young man who could bring hope to their tribe.
"Jing'er, hurry up, take Ping'er to the secret room, hurry up." Looking at the sun that had risen above his head, Wo Lehui still gave this order to Wo Leijing.
"But, but I..." Looking at the worried and frightened tribesmen, Wo Lejing felt very uneasy.
The people who were about to collect them were coming soon, and the prey they offered would definitely not be enough. The entire tribe would suffer by then, and Wo Leijing was not willing to hide alone.
"It's nothing, Jing'er, be obedient and go back quickly." Wo Leihui dragged the old man's body and urged nervously.
"Ahem, cough, Ping'er, pull your sister in. Listen clearly, none of you can come out until it's safe." While Wo Leijing was still hesitating, Wo Legui was seriously injured. The body walked out of the cave.
"Dad, you..."
"Stop talking, hurry in." He frowned, and Wo Leigui's face showed a look of anger, because it won't be long before the gangsters are coming.
"Sister, sister, let's go!" Woreping was still young. To her, everything her father and grandfather said made sense.
Wo Leijing didn't speak, just looked at the tribesmen and the distance, and her body was slowly pulled into the cave.
"Gui'er, you..." Looking at his son in extremely poor condition, Wo Leihui's face was full of distress.
"Dad, I'm fine, let's go to the tribe gate quickly!" He puffed up his chest a little, and Wo Leigui walked forward.
Soon.
"Hey, everyone is here, good, good." He was still the same lion man that day, he was still as arrogant.
"Sir, look, my son is so seriously injured. Can you take one less prey? Next time, we will definitely compensate you." After a moment of silence, Wo Lei mustered up the courage to speak forward.
"Hmph, I don't care about that. There are so many people, so I should take three prey. Are they injured? Hum hum, it's not my fault. You can figure it out on your own."
"You guys, get it for me." After rejecting Wo Lei's request, the lion man ordered his men to get the prey.
Of the five remaining prey, the group took three away. Obviously, the remaining two were not enough to hand over to the soldiers.
"Old man, I also act according to the rules. If you say anything else, don't blame me for being ruthless." Before Wo Lei could say anything else, the lion man said harsh words.
In this way, the group could only watch as their prey was taken away.
"Chief, why don't you let us go! This will also reduce the tribute." Looking at the only two prey left, the old lions said hurriedly.
"No, there are not enough people. They will definitely rummage through the entire tribe. By then, they will not be safe." Looking at the wooden hut where Woleyen and several people were lying, Woleyui once again rejected the proposal.
"Lord Leader, what should we do?"
"Hey, don't worry, there will be a solution." Wo Leigui himself had no confidence in what he said. Now he only hoped that Yang Yu would come back before the soldiers.
After waiting nervously, a figure still came out of the dense forest, but this was not a person, but a small convoy.
Seeing this formation, everyone in the tribe felt a chill. It seemed like they were not going to have a good day today.
"Wo Lei is back, Wo Lei is back, are you all here?" When he walked to the door of the tribe, the soldier captain said seriously. Because the number of prey can be seen clearly at a glance.
"Sir, we are all here"
"Okay, that's good. There are twenty-one people in your tribe. According to the rules, you should turn in three prey. You..." As he said this, the soldier captain already frowned.
"Sir, this is my problem this time. Can you give me a chance? I will definitely hand it over next time." At this point, Wo Legui could only take the initiative to request.
After Wo Leigui finished speaking, the soldier captain finally saw Wo Lei Gui's appearance clearly, his arms that couldn't be raised, his unsteady breathing, and his plain face.
Looking at the color, one could tell that Wo Leigui had suffered a lot of injuries.
but.
"Hmph, I don't care about that. There aren't enough prey, so what's cooking in your pot? Why are these old guys so alive and kicking?"
"Come here, search for me. I want to see if you are hiding anything," the soldier captain said angrily.
In fact, when he saw Wo Leigui's condition, he knew that there was nothing hidden in this tribe, and he also knew that according to Wo Lei Gui's condition, he would definitely not be able to complete the task next time.
But this has nothing to do with him. What he has to do is to squeeze out the last value of this tribe. As for how this tribe can survive, it is not their concern.
"Sister, sister, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" In the small space of the secret room, Wo Leping held Wo Lejing's hand and said gently and anxiously.
"Sir, please believe me and give me a chance!" Wo Leigui said firmly despite the pain when he stopped in front of the soldier captain.
"Trash, get out of my way. Search for me." Pushing Wo Leigui away, the soldier commander directly gave the order to search.
In the secret room, listening to the screams of her father falling to the ground, and thinking about Ren and the others who were still unconscious, Wo Leijing couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Ping'er, take care of yourself, no matter what you hear, don't come out." After whispering a few words to Wo Leping, Wo Lejing pulled away Wo Leping's clenched hand, and Wo Lejing planned to go out.
"Wait, stop." Just when the soldiers were about to rush into the tribe, shouts suddenly came from outside the tribe.
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention, including the soldier captain's, shifted to the figure outside the tribe.
This is a short lion man, but his two hands are dragging two bison that are even bigger than him.
"Who are you?" Seeing the prey behind the lion man, the soldier captain became interested in him.
This lion man is none other than Yang Yu who went out hunting. In the battle in the morning, Yang Yu's face was stained with cow blood, which made Yang Yu look more like a lion man.
"I wandered from the central area. Now that I have joined this tribe, are the three prey you want enough now?", Yang Yu just told a lie.
After throwing out the bison that was still warm on its back, Yang Yu said angrily.
The entire tribe breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Yu appearing with the prey, including Wo Lei Jing who was in the secret room and was about to come out.
"Ha, isn't that enough? The atmosphere has become so tense, so grab the prey and retreat." The expression of the soldier commander changed really quickly, and he suddenly returned to a slightly kind expression.
The main reason why he is like this is that he doesn't know who Yang Yu is.
"Oh, by the way, you actually joined this tribe. You and Wo Legui are two hunters. Next time you submit sacrifices, you will have to hand over four prey. Do you have any objections?" He hadn't even taken two steps. The soldier captain turned his head again and put forward even more extreme conditions.
He doesn't care whether Wo Leigui has the ability to hunt or not. As long as there are enough people, he can exercise this right.
On the side, Yang Yu clenched his fists. He had hunted with his own hands, so he knew how difficult it was to hunt, but these people were so confident in getting something for nothing.
"No, there is no objection, sir, we will definitely finish it." Neither Yang Yu nor Wo Lei Gui spoke, but Wo Lei Hui was the one who spoke.
"Hahaha, okay, then we'll see you next week." After laughing twice, the soldier captain led his men to withdraw.
But when he walked to the front of the dense forest, he said something to his soldiers, and then a soldier walked in another direction.
"Ahem, little brother, thank you for your hard work," Wo Leigui, who barely stood up, said with great gratitude. .
However, all the lions on the side were not happy, because they knew that Wo Leigui's injury might not heal for several months, and they would not be able to complete this sudden additional task.
"Let's all get ready. Let's have a good meal today." But everyone was feeling low.
At that time, Wo Lei suddenly said something.
An hour later, Yang Yu sat together with these lion people for the first time, eating this delicious broth together.
"Gui'er, Ping'er, Jing'er, little brothers, after finishing this meal, you can leave! Take your friends and walk as far as possible." When everyone was about to finish eating, Wo Lei The reply came suddenly.
This idea had already been thought of when he promised the soldier captain just now. As a leader for decades, he could see that it was not easy for Yangyu to hunt these two bison.
Now the mission has grown to seven prey, and Wo Leigui is still seriously injured. Yang Yu will definitely not be able to take on this important task, and he will not be so lucky next time.
Rather than being controlled by those people, it is better to leave here as soon as possible. They are too old to walk, but Yang Yu and the others can leave.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I will never abandon you."
"Grandpa, I'm not leaving either, I want to stay with you."
"Old leader, don't worry, my body is gradually recovering. I can complete this task."
As soon as Wo Lei's reply came out, everyone was opposed.
"Old leader, as you said, you see, the leader is seriously injured now, and my friends are still unconscious. Where can he go? Going out may not be safer than here." Looking at Wo Leihui's hesitant expression, Yang Yu continued to persuade.
"Let's do this! Give me three days. If I can't complete the mission of this leader, I will take them away. What do you think?" In order to make Wo Lei feel at ease, and to let Ren and the others cultivate well, Yang Yu It is to set goals for yourself.
"Grandpa, just listen to leader Ayu!" Woreijing changed his tune really quickly, and everyone on the side also cast their eyes to let Yangyu give it a try.
"Okay, little brother Ayu, thank you for the hard work." In the end, Wo Lei agreed to Yangyu's request.
Six o'clock in the evening.
"Chief! I've already told you that I don't live in caves. If you're still polite, I'll go out hunting right now." At the entrance of the tribe, Yang Yu said while retreating.
From four o'clock to six o'clock, Yang Yu had been shirk- ing for two hours. Yang Yu never expected that Wo Legui would be so stubborn.
"Dad, don't force Leader Ayu, he still wants to accompany his comrades!" From the side, Wo Leijing also kept urging.
"Okay! Brother Ayu, thank you for your hard work." After thinking for a while, Wo Leigui finally gave in.
Looking at the dark dense forest, Yang Yu still gave up the idea of hunting late at night. However, after Yang Yu and others returned to the wooden house, a figure appeared behind the big tree.
This man did not enter the tribe. After taking a few glances, he quickly left here.
