Chapter 48: Weaving a Garland Fu Li ignored her,...
Fu Li ignored her. Seeing that Ge and the others had finished eating, she said, "I'll take everyone back."
When she came here, she didn't know the path, nor did she have specific coordinates. Now when she was going back, it was different. She knew where she was going back, so she could directly lead everyone to use the escape technique.
Ge didn't know she could escape, so he said, "It's getting late now. Let's wait until tomorrow morning and pack up before returning."
Fu Li smiled and said, "Sister Ge, you may not know that my master once taught me a technique for escaping from the enemy. I can carry you all back from here to the base in just a quarter of an hour."
Hearing this, Ge said happily, "Since sister has such magical skills, how can we not follow her?"
She made the decision immediately, ordering, "We're all coming back anyway, so there's no need to take these tripod axes with us. I remember there's a cave over there, so we can move into it and hide there."
In fact, this area is the territory of their tribe. The nearest tribe is separated by two mountains. There is no need to hide things.
But as the leader, Ge was used to being cautious and would rather cause trouble now to avoid any accidents.
When the young and strong men learned that they could go back immediately, they were very happy. They responded loudly and divided into eight groups of two to move the two sets of tripod axes into the cave.
Seeing some thick vines hanging down into the water, they cut some more to block the entrance of the cave, making it more hidden.
Later, everyone gathered together and Fu Li warned them not to open their eyes during the process, otherwise their brains would explode.
Because she helped everyone kill the troublemaking Henggong fish, she had already gained prestige in front of everyone. No one dared to neglect her orders, and they returned to the base safely.
They came back suddenly, and it was pitch dark. The young men on patrol could only see the shadows of people, but couldn't tell who they were. They immediately organized their men and surrounded them with torches and weapons.
The leader shouted, "Who's ahead? Halt immediately! If you dare come any closer, our bows and arrows will show no mercy!"
Ge waved his hand to signal everyone to stop and said loudly, "Is that Tiger? We are back. Speak quietly and don't disturb the rest of the old and weak."
Hearing her voice, the young men led by Hu were surprised and happy, and hurried forward with torches to confirm.
Seeing that they were indeed people from his tribe, Hu asked in surprise: "Chief, why are you back so late?"
We all fled here together, and we all knew how long it would take to make a round trip on the raft.
Judging from the time, they should have returned to the old tribal site by now.
Ge stepped forward and patted his shoulder, pointing at Fuli and saying with a smile, "My sister has great magical powers. She didn't recognize the way before, but she did on the way back. She used her magical powers to lead us, and it only took her a few moments to complete the journey that would have taken six or seven days."
Everyone looked at Fu Li with even more different eyes. Hu brought the young men on patrol to pay their respects to her.
Fu Li hurriedly said, "Everyone, please stop being so polite. It's getting late, and Sister Ge and the others have been busy for so many days. You should go back and rest first."
Hu looked at Ge and saw Ge nod with a smile, so he also smiled and said, "I will listen to you, young lady. Chief, you can take the warriors to rest first, we still have to continue patrolling."
Ge said nothing more, and the group tiptoed towards the camp, rekindled a big bonfire, and slept around it in a circle.
When the snoring sounds of the crowd began to be heard, Fu Li whispered to Tong, "What's wrong with you? I noticed you were restless just now."
"I……"
Tong has always been articulate, and the aroma of tea fills the air as soon as she opens her mouth.
But at this moment, her face was full of confusion and doubt, as if she had encountered some eternal problem that she could not figure out.
Fu Li waited for a moment, and seeing that she still couldn't open her mouth, she said, "Please extend your left hand."
Tong gave her a puzzled look, but still reached out her hand obediently. Fu Li took off the magic weapon that had been placed on her hand and said with a smile, "Alright. Now you want to leave, no one can stop you."
Unexpectedly, Tong's eyes lit up and she asked, "If I want to stay, then no one can drive me away?"
Fu Li said, "Since you know I'm a disciple of Master Zhao, you should know that my sect is not to be trifled with. No matter what you plot against me, even if it succeeds temporarily, it will ultimately be in vain."
Tong asked hurriedly: "How do you say it?"
Fu Li said, "It's all in vain."
Tong's face immediately showed a look of grievance, and the feeling from before returned: "Sister, why don't you believe me? I have no ill will towards you, I just want to follow you."
Fu Li frowned, revealing that weird figure on her face again. She couldn't help but said, "If I throw you into the Yellow River, the whole prehistoric world will be able to drink strong tea."
The term "tea talk" was not used until a long time ago. But Tong only heard it for the first time, and she seemed to understand it in a blink of an eye.
She didn't say anything, just looked at Fu Li and laughed.
Fu Li felt as if she had come across a piece of dog-skin plaster that she couldn't drive away or tear off.
However, she then thought that it had been more than two months since Lingzhuzi last came to see her, and it would probably not be long before he came again.
By that time, she would no longer be afraid of the Tong Nao Yao.
So, she looked helpless and said, "Forget it, it's up to you." After that, she sat cross-legged, with her five hearts facing the sky, and soon entered into a state of meditation.
Tong stared at her for a long time, and after making sure that she was really in a trance, he stood up quietly, turned around and looked to the southeast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When she reappeared, she was in a cave.
The two little demons saluted her and said, "Subordinates greet the young master."
These two demons, one a lion demon and the other a suanni demon, were naturally minor demons in front of Bai Ze. However, if they were walking in the wilderness, they would be great demons respected by the demon tribes below.
But in front of Tong, the two were respectful. That respect was definitely not just because of Bai Ze.
"Get up." Tong asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"
The two demons looked at each other, both hesitant. Tong glanced at them and said, "Do you want to tell the truth directly, or do you want me to use some tricks first, and then you can tell the truth?"
Hearing this, the two demons couldn't help but shudder.
The Suanni spirit bowed its head and said, "I dare not deceive you, young master. The king sent us to capture Dai Fuli."
Tong had anticipated the situation, so she wasn't angry. She just said, "Go back and tell father that I've figured out something about the matter. Tell him not to mess around."
"This..." The two monsters hesitated, looked at each other, and did not dare to agree.
Tong said: "It's already midnight. Look at me, is there anything unusual?"
When they saw Tong here before, they were so frightened that they didn't pay attention to anything else. Now that she mentioned it, the doubts they had ignored immediately surfaced.
The lion spirit asked, "Could it be that Dai Fuli really has a good remedy that cured the young master's old illness?"
The Suanni spirit said, "If that's the case, there's no need to capture her. Instead, we should take her back with care. The king will surely reward her handsomely."
Tong was already impatient, but a smile appeared on her face. Her voice was clear and soft, and her tone was even gentler: "Didn't I tell you to go back first and tell father not to worry about what's going on here for now?"
The two demons woke up instantly, as if they were poured with a basin of ice water in the coldest days of winter.
The Suanni spirit took the lead and said, "Since the young master has given the order, how dare we disobey?"
The lion demon lagged behind and quickly said that he was very obedient. He would go back to report to the king and convey every word the young master said without missing a word.
The smile on Tong's face slowly faded, and he nodded slightly and said lightly: "Okay, go ahead."
The two demons dared not neglect their duty and respectfully left the cave. They immediately used their escape skills to return to Qingcheng Mountain.
=====
The next morning, Fu Li woke up from her meditation. The fresh mountain breeze and warm sunlight came over her, bringing a special kind of comfort.
Tong had already picked a bunch of wild flowers. When she realized that she was awake, she ran over with her skirt lifted and put the bunch of wild flowers in front of her.
"Sister, this is for you."
Fu Li reached out to take it, and saw Song Tong leading He Qing over, holding a rough wooden plate in their hands, with roasted musk deer meat on the plate.
"Aunt, this is specially left for you by my mother."
Principal Fuli touched their heads and asked softly, "Are you full?"
Song Tong said, "We're full. We also had some fruit. It was a red fruit that was very sweet."
Tong next to her showed a reserved smile, afraid that Fuli couldn't tell who gave her the fruit.
After the two little girls ate her fruit, they remembered her kindness and told Fu Li that the fruit was given to them without waiting for her to ask.
Fu Li first placed the plate of meat in front of Tong: "Here, eat it."
"Thank you, sister." Tong took it happily.
Fu Li used the bunch of wild flowers to make two wreaths, one large and one small, and put them on the heads of the two sisters.
Loving beauty is human nature. When the little girls received the wreaths, they immediately smiled and said goodbye to the two people politely. Then they ran to their acquaintances, showing off the wreaths on their heads one by one.
Tong said gloomily, "It was clearly me who picked the flowers for my sister, but I don't get a share of her wreath."
Fu Li laughed and said, "How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?"
"My sister is partial to me and she treats me perfunctorily." Tong felt even more aggrieved, her eyes slightly red and her nostrils trembling slightly.
Fu Li was unmoved, and simply smiled and said, "You are a precious treasure at home, with many people praising you. Why don't you go home early?"
"So, sister, you're worried about me." Her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. "Don't worry, sister. I can still protect myself."
Fu Li ignored her and turned to find Ge's mother and asked, "Auntie, where is Sister Ge?"
Mother Ge said, "The tribe was hit by a flood, and all the food we had stored was washed away. Ge took the young men out to hunt and gather, so we could prepare more food for our return."
Food is the most important thing for people since ancient times.
Fu Li talked to her for a while, and then Song Tong and He Qing ran over with smiles on their faces, followed by a group of children of all ages.
They all came to ask for wreaths.
"But I don't have that many flowers." Fu Li smiled and said, "How about this, I'll take everyone to pick flowers first, and then teach you how to make wreaths, okay?"
The children were very happy. You cheered silently and recommended places with many wild flowers.
The kids were full of energy and even though they had only been here for less than two days, they had already discovered all the fun places nearby.
She said goodbye to Mother Ge and followed the children to a place where wild flowers were everywhere, and they all picked wild flowers together.
Then the children formed a circle, with Fuli sitting in the middle, and she taught them how to make wreaths.
The laughter and joyful chatter were carried by the wind to Tong's ears. Her cold and almost wooden expression unconsciously eased a lot, but there was a bit more confusion in her eyes.
——What kind of race is the human race?
