The place where they were talking was actually not very far from the stall. Although the people in the nearby stalls could not hear what they were saying, they could see from a distance that several people were standing together and talking.
But Ming's two roars were so loud that they attracted everyone's attention. Ming's furious look was seen by everyone.
Qiao Yu watched Ming walk back to his stall, waving his hands excitedly and talking to the people in his tribe. Her face was filled with anger. She shook her head and said to Shu, "Compared to you, Ming's acting skills are far inferior."
The movements are large and the body language is exaggerated, just like a play, so fake. In comparison, the tree is definitely Oscar-level.
Ming roared for a while, then ordered his men: "Pack up your things, let's go back to the tribe."
Everyone was surprised: "Going back to the tribe so soon?"
The trade fair ends tomorrow. And didn't they say they were going with the Valley and Stone Tribes? They'd have to bring their wives, children, and any remaining members of their tribe, but their tribe was close by. We could send someone back to say hello, and then we could meet up somewhere along the Valley and Stone Tribes' path.
Now you have broken up with Yu from the Valley Tribe and are not planning to go to them anymore?
Everyone looked at Qiao Yu who was standing there motionless and at ease, and then looked at the men of the Stone Tribe who looked puzzled but didn't say anything. No longer hesitating, everyone quickly packed up their things and followed Ming away.
Seeing that everyone in the two stalls next door had left, Dian came over and asked Qiao Yu, "Yu, what's going on?"
"Ha, don't worry, this is just a show," Qiao Yu said with a smile. "Ming has spies under his command, and there are also spies at the stall next to us. Our every move is being watched by them. Ming and I are putting on a show for them to see, hoping to get Lei's group from the Shanyin Tribe and Kong's group from the Sun Tribe to act according to our plan."
Dian was surprised: "Ah? It can be like this?"
He assumed the three parties had agreed to flee while Lei and Kong weren't paying attention, and if they couldn't escape, they could fight. He'd seen Qiao Yu training the Valley Tribe in archery, and he knew they all brought bows and arrows. He also knew Qiao Yu was full of tricks, so he wasn't afraid of a fight; instead, he had a faint anticipation for it.
But unexpectedly, Qiao Yu had other plans.
"How do you want them to act?" he asked curiously.
"Let them fight each other until they have a mouth full of fur."
"dog?"
Seeing Qiao Yu walking towards the Valley Tribe's stall, Dian didn't ask what the dog was, but followed him a few steps and asked, "When are we leaving?"
"Tonight." Qiao Yu said, "You all go together."
"yes."
Both parties returned to their stalls and began to pack up their things quietly.
As night fell, half of the people in the valley tribe who had been sitting around the fire eating barbecue and roasted potatoes had disappeared without a trace.
Not far away, someone from the Shanyin Tribe, who was bribed by the Sun Tribe to help them keep watch, suddenly got alerted and hurried towards the Sun Tribe's stall, telling Kong's men the news.
When he returned to his stall, he found that not only the remaining half of the Valley Tribe, but even the people from the Stone Tribe across the street were gone.
"Where did they go?" he asked his companion in surprise.
It was time for everyone to go to bed. My companion looked into the distance half asleep, yawned, and said, "I just heard someone talking, saying they needed to pee. Maybe they went to pee."
The man laughed.
Can everyone in the tribe go together to pee? And they even took away the wicker baskets and other things.
This must have been a sneak attack.
He hurried back to the Sun Tribe.
"Okay, we got it. Kong has already taken people to chase them, you can go back." said the man.
Qiao Yu has already reunited with the people who left earlier.
"You guys go first, I'll take care of Kong from behind." Qiao Yu said.
"Yu..." Shu called out worriedly.
Others also advised: "Yu, there's no need to take this risk. As long as we walk faster, they won't be able to catch up. Besides, aren't we going in that direction? They won't be able to find us."
Qiao Yu shook his head. "Don't try to persuade me. Trust me, I'll be fine. Remember my words. After you meet up with Ming at the agreed location, head southeast to the river. Then, follow the river downstream and you'll be back to the tribe. Don't worry if you don't see me when you get back to the tribe. I might just take a look around."
"Okay. Be careful then." Shu also knew that Qiao Yu had made up his mind and would not change it. And now was not the time to be nagging.
He took his men and quickly left here, disappearing into the night in a short while.
Qiao Yu jumped up and hid in a big tree.
After a while, she heard voices coming from afar. She jumped down from the tree, ran a few steps in the opposite direction of the tree, took out a tinder and lit the torches in her hand.
"Look, there it is." The people around Kong exclaimed when they saw the torch.
"Chase." Kong said.
The group of people chased for a while and were about to catch up, but for some reason the torch suddenly ran away. When they wanted to give up, the torch was close at hand again, and it seemed that if they ran faster, they could catch up.
They chased after him, sometimes closer, sometimes farther away. Seeing the torch disappear again, Kong's son couldn't help but say, "Father, why don't we go back?"
The air is dead.
He was afraid of being laughed at, so he kept it a secret from anyone about the Valley Tribe's offense. But somehow, since yesterday afternoon, everyone at the stalls had heard about it, whispering about it. The news had even spread to the tribe, and this evening, someone even mocked him under the pretense of concern.
If he didn't catch up with the people from the Valley Tribe and kill the guy leading them, where would he put his face?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Chase, chase me."
"But the person is gone. Where should we chase him?" The men were eager to go back and their attitude was a little slack.
There was a half moon hanging in the sky, sometimes obscured by clouds, and if they could not see the torches lit by the valley tribesmen, they would have no idea where to go.
"Didn't they disappear from this direction? Let's chase them in this direction. They probably don't have the energy to run anymore, so they put out their torches and lie in ambush nearby. Those of you holding torches stay where you are, and the rest of you go over quietly. Maybe we can catch them red-handed." Kong said.
Kong's son had no choice but to leave his father where he was and lead his men to the place where the torches disappeared, using the faint moonlight.
"Ouch." Suddenly, a person was hit by something and almost fell to the ground.
Before others could ask him what happened, several more people were hit.
"Hurry, there." Someone shouted, pointing ahead.
Kong's son looked up and saw several torches flickering not far ahead.
"Chase." he ordered.
Everyone followed him and rushed forward. Soon they saw a group of people standing there with torches and weapons in their hands, as if they were about to attack. Without saying a word, they took their bone knives and attacked those people.
