Chapter 96

(30.4)

Recently, Yi Jia’s popularity was very strong. But Mu Qing felt that the more she looked at him, the more she felt he was an eyesore, especially when she saw the smile hanging on his face. Sometimes she really wanted to go forward and slap off that complacency of his.

However, Li Mang didn’t agree with her on this point. After the two of them fought by the stream last time, they had never interacted again. But after the incident, Li Mang probably felt that the fire lit by Yi Jia not only allowed them to take back the tribe’s animal skins and food, but also helped him and Mu Qing to escape, so he was feeling grateful to him in his heart. Besides, Yi Jia seemed to want to mend their relationship, so the two of them actually began to talk again during the past few days.

Mu Qing was standing on the side, listening to the two people’s conversation about how they were recently strengthening the manpower on patrol at night to prevent a night attack from Gang Tu’s tribe in retaliation, so she patiently waited for a while.

But then, once they were finished speaking about this matter, she didn’t know what other topic he was talking about but Yi Jia looked in very high spirits, so she started to feel unhappy in her heart, and coughed a few times in a row, but Li Mang turned a deaf ear to her.

Feeling a little annoyed, she couldn’t help but start coughing heavily again, and then she turned her head and started leaving first. He then noticed her and picked up the water pot that was just placed on the ground, before hurriedly rushing to her side.

He sensed her that she was displeased and moved closer to try to call her name. Seeing her nonchalant and indifferent appearance, he suddenly extended out his empty hand, touched her waist and pinched it, before quickly removing his hand.

Mu Qing turned her head and saw that his eyes were looking straight ahead with a serious expression that was saying “I didn’t do anything bad”, and all of a sudden, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Only then did Li Mang look like he was relieved and laughed along with her.

Mu Qing secretly cursed him in her heart for being a fool, but she couldn’t help but reach out and gently pinch the muscles on his arm, before sighing lightly.

The mushroom broth cooked by Mu Qing was not bad, it didn’t ruin the ingredients she had worked so hard to collect and hide, and she even tasted a bit of a long-lost fresh flavor. Her only regret was that there still wasn’t any salty flavor. As she drank the soup, she was thinking that it would be nice if she could get her hands on salt someday.

Li Mang wasn’t as concerned as her and ate and drank happily, and did not even leave a drop of soup at the end. After eating, he left in a hurry. It was his turn to keep watch at night along with a few other men of the tribe.

Ten days or so had already passed since that event. The tribe had not only increased the number of men assigned to the night watch, but every man had a weapon in his hand before going to bed in case of a night attack by Gang Tu’s tribe.

Recently, fall had come, the temperature at night was becoming a little cooler, and she now needed an animal skin to cover herself to sleep at night.

Mu Qing slept alone for a while, and awoke in the middle of the night. She remembered that there were still a few pieces of potato root left over that Naduo gave to them during the day. Fearing that he would be hungry now, she got up and brought him a bowl.

The moon was shining brightly in the sky.

When Mu Qing reached the outskirts of the settlement, gradually approaching where Li Mang was, she heard a few words sent over by the wind. It seemed as if Li Mang was talking to someone. She raised her head to follow the sound, and saw that that figure was actually Da Wu’s.

Since his return, Da Wu seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, coupled with the fact that he was recovering from his injuries, she rarely ever saw him out of his hut during daytime. Now it was the middle of the night, why would he come here?

Mu Qing hesitated and stopped behind a stump on the side.
