(27.2)
Mu Qing had not seen Li Mang for just a few days, but Mu Qing felt as if a long time had passed.
The Li Mang of now, and the one in her memory of that morning when he looked back at her before leaving were completely different. She felt he looked a little unfamiliar.
The women turned silent. Because the exchange had already begun.
Da Wu was pushed from behind the crowd to the front. Compared to his usual appearance, he now looked really wretched, and even pitiful. All the tribesmen were ignited with anger, but they forced themselves to hold back as they watched the opposite side take the stacks of food in leather bags and the animal skins that they brought.
Those were their winter reserves, but now they had to give it to others. There was a trace of reluctance on Yi Jia and some other men’s faces, Li Mang just stared at the enemy’s chief, Gang Tu, opposite and at Da Wu who was still in his hands. Only Tu Lu was expressionless, he did not seem to worry much about the way his father looked.
Mu Qing heard a cheer from the women here. They would probably go through this winter more easily because of these ressources compared to before.
Da Wu went back to his people.
There was no incident, everything went smoothly.
She saw Li Mang walking forward and untie the rope tied up around Da Wu’s hands, he seemed to have whispered something to him, and then their group turned around, in a line, about to leave.
Mu Qing was so anxious that she was about to crush her teeth.
This was her chance to be saved. If Li Mang left like this, she would never be able to see him again.
As if he had sensed something, he suddenly looked back. But very quickly, he turned his head away again.
He didn’t see her.
Tears burst out of Mu Qing’s eyes. She couldn’t hold back any longer. Even if it was going to mess up the situation, even if it was going to cause a bloody brawl between the two sides, she could not restrain herself and just watch him leave like this.
She dashed out from behind the tree, about to call out his name loudly when suddenly, her blood froze.
She saw a man with a bow in his hand and an arrow on it. The arrow was black, it had obviously been dipped into poison.
The arrow was aimed at the direction of Li Mang’s back.
Tu Lu kept turning his head back, he clearly saw the man holding the bow and arrow, but he unexpectedly turned his head away as if nothing was the matter.
“Li Mang, be careful!”
Mu Qing almost immediately and frantically shouted out. She called him by his name, and then the words “Be careful” were spoken with her native language.
But that was enough. Li Mang heard her shout and immediately turned back his head, as if he had been struck by electricity.
This time, he immediately saw her in the crowd. A look of pure joy quickly blossomed on his face.
“Li Mang, be careful!”
Mu Qing once again anxiously shouted. A few women found her, shouted strange sounds with their mouth, and then quickly ran towards her to subdue her.
Li Mang’s face immediately darkened, as he dodged the arrow like an agile cheetah, and threw the sharp spear in his hand like lightning towards the man. The spear heavily pierced into the man’s chest. The man took five or six steps backwards and fell to the ground on his back, with the end of the spear in his chest twitching endlessly.
This sudden scene did not stop the situation at all, for almost at the same time, the leader Gang Tu was already shouting, and leading his people towards Li Mang, to launch a frenzied attack.
Mu Qing was forcibly pushed on the ground by the few women who rushed at her. They were so strong that she couldn’t move at all as she was tied up with her hands behind her back. She was even kicked harshly several times on her rib cage.
But she no longer cared about her pain, she just raised her head from the ground, anxiously scanning through the fighting crowd searching for Li Mang’s figure.
