"Why not?" Qiao Yu got off the tiger's back, and after a smile faded, he looked at Qinglang with a cold look in his eyes. "Didn't you provoke this tiger the day before yesterday, causing it to chase and bite you? When my father came to save you, you tripped him, causing him to fall into the tiger's mouth and have his leg bitten off? How come you don't recognize it in such a short time?"
When everyone heard this, they forgot about the existence of the tiger and looked at the blue wolf in surprise.
Although the people in these tribes may have conflicts with each other, they all have a tacit rule, which is that they will never use tricks on each other during hunting.
The tribe was small to begin with, and facing the harsh and haphazard nature, survival was already difficult. If one of their own people resorted to trickery in such a dangerous situation, survival would be even more difficult.
Don't say it's none of your business if it's not your fault. If someone gets killed, there's one more orphan or widow in the tribe, and everyone gets less food. If this happens too often, the entire tribe will be doomed.
The conflict between the Qinglang family and the Shan family is well known, but no one expected that Qinglang would trip up Shan when Shan went to rescue him.
"I didn't, you're talking nonsense!" Qinglang denied excitedly.
But everyone obviously didn't believe it.
Everyone in the tribe knew the character of Shan's family. Yu and the others had little contact with them, so they didn't know them well. But Shan had lived with them day and night for over thirty years, and they knew him well.
Shan is an upright and fair person. If there is no such thing, Shan will never allow Yu to say such a thing.
So this is probably true.
Seeing everyone looking at him with suspicion and contempt, Qinglang panicked. He became increasingly agitated and stepped forward to confront Qiao Yu, saying harshly, "You're making this up! Are you trying to blackmail me into supporting your family of three because no one else is hunting anymore? I'm telling you, forget it!"
He had done what happened the day before yesterday extremely secretly. Everyone was frightened by the tiger at the time and didn't notice his actions at all. He didn't believe that Yu could produce any evidence.
The tiger's dignity was already greatly offended by the bipeds riding on its neck, and it became very uneasy when it saw so many bipeds coming at once.
But intimidated by the strength of its new master, it didn't dare move. It hadn't expected that if it didn't show its might, these people would actually ignore it, daring to yell at it and unleash such hostility and anger towards its new master.
If I don’t show my power, do you think I’m a sick cat?
"Awoo..." It roared at the blue wolf.
"Oh my god." Qinglang's heart was pounding so much that he took a step back, stumbled and fell to the ground. His face was pale and his whole body was limp. He couldn't even get up.
The others were not much better than Qinglang. Their legs were weak and their bodies were shaking.
But no matter how scared they were, no one dared to run.
Animals like to hunt things that move. If they move now, the tiger will be the first to bite them. And the tiger can pounce on them from several meters away with a single leap. No matter how fast they run, they can't outrun the tiger.
So everyone stood there trembling like a sieve, holding their breath and not daring to move.
"Shut up!" Qiao Yu slapped the tiger on the head, almost making it fall to the ground again.
"Awoo..." The tiger whimpered at Qiao Yu in a flattering manner. The voice was very soft and had a hint of coquettishness, which made the men who were thinking about how to escape almost pop their eyes out.
Now no one doubted that the tiger was fake.
Emma, what is going on?
Qiao Yu turned around and looked at Qinglang, smirking contemptuously: "What? Are you scared to pee?"
Everyone was so scared of the tiger that they hadn't really noticed the blue wolf. After Qiao Yu said that, everyone looked forward and saw a suspicious puddle of water under the blue wolf—could it be that the tiger had scared it into peeing?
The tribe makes a living by hunting and faces danger every day. What the men fear most is being called cowardly.
The blue wolf was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"You say you didn't do it, do you dare to swear to the gods in heaven? As long as you dare to swear, I will let the tiger let you go. Otherwise..." Qiao Yu looked at Qinglang with a smile and didn't say anything else.
Green Wolf looked at the tiger standing next to Qiao Yu, whose eyes were as big as copper bells, and said bravely: "I have never done such a thing. I will not swear."
Primitive people still have a deep reverence for the gods. He didn't dare swear. And he didn't dare let the tiger bite him in front of the tribesmen.
Fortunately, he didn't dare, otherwise Qiao Yu would definitely let him know what "being struck by five thunders from heaven" meant.
Qiao Yu stared at him for a while and sneered.
Qinglang's face flushed red. He knew that even if he denied it repeatedly, Qiao Yu would not be able to produce any evidence. But she accused him, and he didn't dare to swear. Most people in the tribe suspected him.
He wanted to lash out and argue, but seeing the tiger beside Qiao Yu, he immediately fell silent. Qiao Yu couldn't produce any evidence, and neither could he. No matter how much he said, he couldn't dispel everyone's suspicions.
Whether it's primitive society, modern times, or the end of the world, there are always good people. Tribes are no exception.
Seeing the situation was at a stalemate, someone spoke up to change the subject: "Yu, what are you going to do with this tiger?"
No matter how Yu managed to subdue the tiger, they couldn't just confront it. It was too dangerous.
And if Yu wanted to bring the tiger back to the tribe, no one would agree - who knows if the tiger would suddenly attack and hurt people?
Qiao Yu didn't want to deal with Qinglang right now.
Wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts. This is absolutely true.
If she killed the blue wolf now, or let the tiger maul him to death, no matter what, the people in the tribe would stay away from her, and even demonize her. After all, who among ordinary humans had ever subdued a tiger? Moreover, she was so cruel and ruthless.
The mountain is not dead, right?
With that question, she had already planted the seed of doubt in everyone's mind. If Qinglang jumped out and said he wanted to be the leader, everyone in the tribe would remember what she had just said.
And she, of course, wouldn't let Qinglang go. In the apocalypse, backstabbing like this always had only one end: death. She just needed to find the right moment.
Before that, let Qinglang taste the pain of being suspected and despised, even if it means charging some interest.
