The group returned to the Sharp Fang Tribe.
To make care easier, Wu Yue consulted Xia's opinion and moved Tao Hua into her tent. Xia's tent was spacious and close to the center of the tribe, making it convenient for changing dressings.
After telling her to have a good rest and to come to him if she needed anything, Wu Yue walked out of the tent and brought the two horses to the river next to his house. There were a lot of fresh wild grass growing by the river, so he let the two horses graze freely.
He was thinking about building a barn to shelter the two horses from the wind and rain, and to put some hay in it to make them comfortable, so that the horses, who were in their prime, could reproduce.
Xiao just followed him like this, his eyes scanning him intently.
Wu Yue realized belatedly that he had been taken advantage of, and then he remembered belatedly that he seemed to have not put on his clothes yet, as he had washed, dried them, and put them in the house.
He rushed into the house, slammed the door, put on his clothes and changed his wet pants. Finally, he was dry and comfortable again and then he let the person in.
Xiao touched his nose. The door almost hit his face.
After inviting everyone to sit on the kang, he said, "What are you going to do about the Dama tribe?"
Xiao curled his lips and tugged at Wu Yue's sleeve, feeling that the thing wrapped around Wu Yue's body was in the way.
"Pa!" Wu Yue hit his hand, and the envoy of God gritted his teeth: "...Let's get down to business!"
All right. Xiao rubbed his chin and sneered, "Of course, tell them to get lost."
Almost every member of the Dama tribe was a fan of Ma Wu, who clearly expressed his dislike for Wu Yue. Therefore, Xiao felt it was extremely dangerous to simply have them stationed next to the Sharp Fang Tribe, let alone accept them into the tribe.
That Ma Wu has some skills in using medicine. It would be terrible if he sent someone to sneak in and poison Wu Yue.
In addition, the Dama tribe stationed here would definitely need to hunt and look for wild vegetables and fruits to fill their stomachs, which would inevitably lead to the Sharp Tooth Tribe stealing their food invisibly.
It would have been fine if we had planned to recruit them in the first place, after all, we would have to give them some benefits. But now, both sides are almost like enemies, so who would tolerate them?
Wu Yue nodded and said, "Then I'll go and inform them to leave. It's a pity that Ma Tian..."
He still felt a little regretful. It didn't matter about others, but at least Ma Tian was a good candidate. It would be great if that guy could bring some more horses to join them.
However, he also knew that this was impossible. After all, he was the tribe leader. Even if he had a bad relationship with Ma Wu, it was an internal affair of the tribe. There was no reason for him to defect to a strange tribe where he didn't speak the same language.
While he was thinking about this, he was suddenly pushed hard by Xiao without any preparation, and was pressed on the kang and started to bite.
"Don't mention that man! How can he compare to me?" the jealous leader said viciously.
Wu Yue: “…”
At dusk that day, the hunting team returned. Although they did not have Xiao, their strongest fighter, their harvest was surprisingly good. Prey of all sizes piled up into a small mountain.
As usual, someone came forward to clean up and cut, and also told the hunting team what happened today.
At the age when one can't suppress their temper, Shi, who was leading the hunting team today, suddenly stood up and angrily came to Wu Yue: "Divine Messenger! Were you bullied today?!"
Does that count as being bullied?
Wu Yue touched his chin and thought.
Shi was impatient. Seeing that the envoy of God didn't say anything, he immediately concluded that he was being bullied. He turned around and brandished a kitchen knife and yelled, "Brothers! Today, when we were not in the tribe, those damned Malaysians actually disrespected the envoy of God! Brothers, follow me and kill them!"
"Wait, wait!" Wu Yue was frightened by Shi's shouting and killing behavior, and hurried out to stop him, "I'm fine, no need to kill them!" These primitive people will do what they say, and he doesn't want to have a cemetery next to the tribe tonight.
Arriving at the resting hunting team, he said, "We did have some unpleasantness today, but we didn't really come to blows. I don't want so many people dying near the tribe, so everyone, just come with me and tell them to pack up and leave, okay?"
No one agreed, and everyone felt that simply driving them away would be too easy for them.
That's a divine messenger! How could a divine messenger revered by everyone in the Sharp Teeth Tribe be bullied by a small, foreign tribe?!
Seeing that everyone was still dissatisfied, he nudged the silent Xiao with his elbow, asking him to come out and express his opinion.
Xiao was somewhat reluctant, but after Shi suggested it, he finally realized that killing those people would be a good idea. Wu Yue wanted people and horses, so if he could kill a dozen or twenty of the strong resistance, the rest would become obedient.
Seeing that he didn't react, Wu Yue turned his head and looked at his expression and guessed what he was thinking.
He felt unhappy for a while, but he also knew that this was the law of survival in primitive society. After all, his partner was a primitive man, and he still needed his education and transformation both physically and mentally.
He whispered, "I know what you're thinking, but you'd better not do it. Think about the hyena tribe."
He is now going to teach Xiao the principle of not doing to others what you do not want others to do to you.
Mentioning the Hyena Tribe was indeed effective. Thinking of his dead and enslaved tribesmen, Xiao's face darkened.
Taking a step forward, he finally spoke: "Just follow the orders of the messenger and drive them away."
The Sharp Tooth Tribe selects its leader based on military strength, so the leader is the person with the highest military strength in the tribe. His words are quite effective, and everyone immediately accepts his orders.
Wu Yue nodded with satisfaction and led this group of people who had just returned from hunting and were still covered in blood towards the Dama tribe’s base.
Because of today's conflict, the Dama tribe was also on guard against the Sharp Tooth Tribe and had sent people to watch from afar. Now seeing so many people heading this way, Ma Wu and Ma Tian naturally got the news quickly.
Ma Tian, who was still missing Tao Hua in the tent, immediately left the tent and led his men there. Although he was sure that the good-tempered Wu Yue envoy would not attack like this, he had to get to the bottom of things since the other party was coming with such a strong momentum.
As for the horse witch, the old man judged himself by his own standards and was afraid that Wu Yue was coming to seek revenge on him, but he was also really curious, so he asked his confidant to lead his horse and observe from a distance.
If a fight breaks out, he will just ride away immediately.
Ma Tian secretly took a breath when he saw the strong young hunters behind Wu Yue. These people were covered in blood, with anger on their faces, and the murderous aura they exuded made people feel cold in their hearts.
He smiled bitterly. Ma Wu had truly provoked the wrong person this time. He wondered how many horses the Divine Envoy Wu Yue would need before he would retreat...
To his surprise, Wu Yue did not demand compensation, nor did he attack the Dama tribe. Instead, when he was a certain distance away from Ma Tian, he shouted, "Dama people, this land belongs to the Sharp Tooth Tribe. If you were friends, we could have lent it to you temporarily, but because you have offended us, you are no longer friends. If you are not friends, you should get out."
The faces of the Malaysians froze. They were running low on food, and the horses that had carried the heavy loads over the mountains and hills needed a rest. Some of them were also sick...
The patriarch clearly said before that we could rest here for a few days!
They seemed not to understand why Wu Yue asked them to leave, and cast dissatisfied glances at Ma Tian.
Ma Tian, who wanted to negotiate with Wu Yue again, paused when he saw the gazes from his tribesmen. He suddenly felt tired and had no strength left.
Forget it, what's the point?
He devoted himself to the tribe, but what did he get?
Wu Yue continued to shout, "It's getting late today, so I'll allow you to stay for one more day. Tomorrow at noon, I don't want to see you again. Do you understand?"
Seeing the man's expression still unconvinced, Wu Yue added, "If you don't understand, the warriors of the Sharp Fang Tribe will make you understand!"
The people behind him immediately cooperated by raising their weapons, and now the Malaysians finally calmed down.
After finishing his speech, Wu Yue and his men turned around and left. After being hungry for a whole day, he didn't want to miss his only meal.
That evening, the Sharp Teeth tribe was bustling with the aroma of meat and the sounds of laughter and playfulness. Meanwhile, on the Dama tribe side, most people were munching on the few dried meats and wild vegetables they had, quietly packing up their belongings.
Only from Ma Wu's tent could be heard angry insults and curses from time to time.
The next day, Wu Yue got up very early. After looking from a distance and confirming that the Malaysian people were packing up, he didn't pay any attention to them. He washed, packed up, watered the vegetables and fed the horses as usual.
These horses have a certain degree of intelligence like babies, but not too exaggerated. At least they have not deviated from the category of animals. For example, even if they are told that the Malaysian tribe is leaving, they do not show any reluctance.
After packing up, he went to see Tao Hua again and told her that the Dama tribe was leaving. Tao Hua certainly had no attachment to the Dama tribe, but she still grabbed Wu Yue's hand and begged him to let them meet if Ma Tian came to see her.
Wu Yue nodded, but he guessed in his heart that Ma Tian would not come, or even if he wanted to come, that old man would never let him.
As expected, as the Dama tribe packed up their tents, placed heavy objects on the horses' backs, and then rode their horses slowly south, Ma Tian did not come over.
When I told Tao Hua about this, she just nodded and shed a few tears.
The area outside the Sharp Teeth Tribe had returned to its former state, and life within the tribe went on as usual. Wu Yue figured there was nothing important to do today, so he simply called in his eagle and planned to go hunting jungle fowl.
Of course, Xiao will definitely follow.
The forest where they had seen the jungle fowl before was too far away from the tribe, and one day was not enough to go back and forth. Fortunately, after listening to Wu Yue's description of the appearance of the jungle fowl, Ying said that he had also seen it deep in the woods next to the tribe.
Even as a boy he had a good eye, and before he joined the hunting party he would go into the woods and hit small game with stones.
The rodent hunting team looked down upon these birds with little meat, but as a child he did not mind them and therefore remembered the appearance of many birds.
Wu Yue was overjoyed. He thought that if he went into the forest, he could look for some potentially useful plants. He immediately urged Ying to lead the way.
The three of them didn't have to look for wild vegetables specifically, so they walked faster than the collecting team and went much deeper. They didn't walk until three or four in the afternoon when they finally reached their destination.
There is actually a small pond in the forest. It looks like it was formed naturally. It is very shallow and the water is not very clean. It looks like stagnant water, and the surrounding area has been soaked by water and turned into a swamp.
Wu Yueduo glanced at the plants by the water, but Eagle pulled his sleeve and pointed to a tree nearby: "Here, Messenger of God, do you think this is the kind of bird?"
Wu Yue quickly looked up and confirmed that it was a jungle fowl, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Eagle, can you try not to kill them? Just shoot them down."
The eagle scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'll try to be gentler!"
Seeing that the eagle started to pick up stones on the ground to shoot birds, Wu Yue, who was unable to help, turned his attention to the plants by the pond.
He looked closely for a long time but was still unsure. Finally, he pulled one out and tasted the tender stem at the bottom.
It has a crispy texture and a sweet taste. Although it looks different, he can already confirm that it is this thing.
This is Zizania latifolia, and Zizania latifolia is the young stem of this plant that swells after being infected with fungi!
