Chapter 14
Luckily, his mind was quick, and he fell to the ground pretending to be dead following the other’s punch, thus escaping this time.
Rubbing his painfully aching chest, thinking of the ferocity just now, fear filled his heart, but soon, his eyes turned fierce.
This small tribe was doomed.
Qing Mu got up, stumbling away.
The direction he walked in was not towards the Yi tribe, but towards the big tribe of Yu Shui’s mother – the Blackwater tribe.
—
In the chief’s house of the Blackwater tribe.
A woman wrapped in white fur with shell jewelry sat at the top.
When the woman heard Qing Mu say that Yu Shui was dead, her eyes instantly reddened.
The only person she had ever loved in her life was her previous husband. So their son, Yu Shui, was the most beloved and cherished child to her.
Li Yue couldn’t help her son become the chief of the Blackwater tribe, but when he said he wanted to go out and establish his own tribe, she fully supported him, providing everything she could – people, food, fur – just hoping he could live well outside.
But she never expected that her son would be killed by someone.
Although it was her son who went to rob first, so what? These small tribespeople should have obediently offered tribute.
Poor son of hers, still so young, and killed like this.
Li Yue covered her face, softly sobbing.
Qing Mu saw her immersed in grief and couldn’t help but remind her, “Lady Li Yue, Chief Yu Shui and that small tribe…”
Li Yue suddenly snapped out of it.
Yes, the immediate priority was to find Yu Shui’s body first, then slaughter that small tribe to avenge her son!
But it couldn’t be done now…
Li Yue gritted her teeth, “The chief went to the Light Wing tribe to exchange goods. When he brings people back, I’ll go find him…”

The sun rose.
Lu Yu had already checked the upgrade requirements for the Small Healing Pills manufacturing blueprint last night, which was quite simple – just provide a thousand catties of the same wild beast meat at once.
Lu Yu informed the hunting team of the requirements, letting them hunt down larger prey as much as possible, of course, under the premise of safety.
Then, he worked together with the remaining Matai people to collect materials for the village upgrade.
After busy morning, they only managed to collect two baskets of hemp grass in the woods. They also collected some wild mushrooms, preparing to cook wild mushroom stir-fried rabbit meat for lunch.
The tender wild mushrooms combined with rabbit meat without a trace of fat, stir-fried on the stone platform, emitted a fragrance that made the surrounding Matai people’s mouths water.
Lu Yu picked up some large pieces of rabbit meat and put them on leaves, preparing to give them to Tai Li.
Just as he had taken two steps towards Tai Li, he suddenly saw Tai Li stand up abruptly, turning around and walking towards the wooden house without looking back.
Lu Yu: ???
In the evening, after dinner, Lu Yu stopped Tai Li and tried to invite Tai Li to take a bath with him again.
Tai Li stood five meters away from him.
He had no expression, “I’ve already bathed.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Yu had to face a reality.
Tai Li was avoiding him.
He thought yesterday’s change in attitude was just temporary, but why was it still like this today?
What’s going on?!
—
The night was quiet.
Tai Li leaned against the wall, sitting on the wooden bed.
Even though he lived in a wooden house, he was still used to sitting to sleep.
Tai Li’s thoughts were a bit chaotic today. He sat for a long time before slowly sleep.
He rarely had dreams.
In the dream, the moonlight was bright, and the thin and weak witch he had picked up stood in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips, clear eyes reflecting the shimmering water. He placed his hand on the animal skin skirt, slowly untied it, and walked towards him…
Enough!!
Tai Li suddenly opened his eyes.
Feeling the explosive pain below, his eyes emitted a fierce light.
He couldn’t go on like this anymore.
He couldn’t continue like this.
Tai Li closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, tried to forget the content of the dream just now, and also tried to calm his body quickly.
“King, are you asleep?” Lu Yu, who lived next door, suddenly knocked on the wooden wall.
In the dark night, the young voice was soft and careful, afraid of waking others.
Adding fuel to the already unbearable man completely ignited the fire.
Tai Li gritted his teeth and didn’t speak.
After a while, there was no more sound from the other side.
But Tai Li couldn’t help it anymore. He clenched his fists, then loosened them after a long time, seeming to compromise, and reluctantly reached down towards his lower body…
—
Lu Yu scratched his head in confusion.
Asleep?
Impossible, when we were in the cave, Tai Li would sit for a long time before sleeping.
Maybe the soundproofing is too good, and he didn’t hear?
Lu Yu felt a bit annoyed.
Thinking about yesterday’s situation, this goodwill task must be done. Even if he didn’t consider the goodwill points, he had to clarify with Tai Li whether he had unintentionally offended him.
This was the first time he genuinely admired someone from the bottom of his heart, even wanting to be good buddies with him.
He couldn’t mess it up without any explanation.
After tossing and turning, Lu Yu decided to go and talk to Tai Li immediately.
He stood up, opened the door, and walked towards the next room…
