Slender fingertips glide across rough skin.

The man recognized Qin Yuzhu.

They knew she was a woman newly purchased by the tribe.

His throat bobbed, and he finally released his grip on Qin Yuzhu's neck, then lunged at her...

After a series of rustling sounds, the man's vigilance lowered, while Qin Yuzhu exclaimed, "!!!"

Seize the opportunity.

She raised the copper hairpin high and thrust it towards the man's neck.

man:"!!!"

Before she could even utter a sound, Qin Yuzhu covered her mouth, and quickly...

There was no sound.

Qin Yuzhu: ...

After succeeding again, he picked up his clothes and continued towards the next hut...

If she encountered someone who wasn't vigilant enough, she would kill them with a single hairpin.

When she encountered someone who was wary, she would use the same method...

up.

The sky gradually brightened.

The people of the tribe came one after another.

The entire tribe was filled with the stench of blood.

Not only was the stench of blood pervasive, but the faint howls of wolves and the roars of beasts could also be heard all around.

The remaining men of the tribe: "?!?!"

They looked around in fear.

"What happened?"

Why does it smell of blood?

"Chief! The chief is dead!"

"Da Man is dead, and Er Zhuang is gone too..."

"Women...all the women in the tribe are dead!"

"..."

"Wolf is coming! Quick, climb the tree! Hurry!"

"..."

Amidst screams, Qin Yuzhu, covered in blood, was pulled up a large tree.

The towering trees offer a panoramic view of the entire tribe.

soon.

A pack of wolves is attacking.

Wild animals are crossing the border.

Those who died in the tribe all became food for wild beasts.

The remaining men of the tribe: "!!!"

He stared at the scene below with eyes wide with rage.

I'm going crazy.

But.

No one doubted that Qin Yuzhu was responsible for this tragic scene, because...

Qin Yuzhu timely feigned a weak appearance and clung to the strong man who had pulled her up the tree.

Because of her, the remote mountain tribe...

Overnight, more than half of the assets were lost.

Only a dozen or so men and a few children remained.

After the turmoil, Qin Yuzhu became the only woman in the tribe.

The story of Qin Yuzhu in the deep mountains begins anew, but this time, no one speaks of punishing her, because…

There are still several children in the tribe who need care.

She became not only the only woman who could serve the men of the tribe, but also the only one who could take care of the children...

As Qin Yuzhu began her new life amidst the bloody calamity of the deep mountain tribe, firecrackers echoed in Hedao Village, a thousand miles away.

It's Chinese New Year.

Every household has put up Spring Festival couplets, making it convenient to eat dumplings.

Villagers who had been cooped up at home for half the winter also came out of their homes and greeted everyone they met with a Happy New Year.

The New Year's atmosphere was many times more intense than in later generations.

This is the first Chinese New Year that Yu Mingxiang's family has spent in the countryside.

The whole family was together, plus Gu Guanhai, an unofficial member, and Lao Yuan and his wife Mei Fang.
