Finally, Li Qing managed to persuade Xiong Ga and Mang Hu, saying that Xiong Ga was, after all, the chief of the tribe, and even if he didn't care about himself, he should at least consider the tribe. Xiong Ga reluctantly agreed to Li Qing's request, saying that he would take him to the other side of the Liangmeng River, and Li Qing could walk the rest of the way himself. As for Mang Hu, Li Qing considered that he was only a level one warrior and told him not to bother taking him at all. After hearing this, Xiong Ga also tried to persuade Li Qing, saying that Mang Hu's strength was so weak that he shouldn't get involved in this mess, and if something happened, he would only make things worse.
After this happened several times, under pressure from the chieftain, Manghu had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the two men's demands.
“However, you must inform me when you are about to leave,” Manghu said firmly. “I will go out of the tribe with Yi to see you off!”
That's possible.
Li Qing nodded in agreement.
Xiong Ga smiled and said to Mang Hu, "Alright, go and prepare food for Mai Zi."
Manghu responded and ran off to work on the other side of the tribe.
Xiong Ga was, after all, the chief of the tribe and was always busy with many things. Seeing Mang Hu running off to prepare food for Li Qing, he chatted briefly with Li Qing about the Red Flower Tribe before standing up and saying, "Mang Hu will bring the food to you soon. After you finish eating, whenever you want to leave, don't forget to come find me. I can take you away anytime."
Li Qing said gratefully, "Thank you."
Xiong Ga said nonchalantly, "Don't mention it."
He lightly punched Li Qing in the chest: "You rascal, you never tell us what's wrong with your tribe. It's not like we can't help you. Almost everyone in our tribe has a battle pet. If anything happens, we can definitely help."
Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile, declining Xiong Ga's offer: "It's really nothing serious, we can handle it ourselves."
Previously, Xiong Ga had tried to persuade Li Qing about their tribe, but Li Qing hadn't mentioned it last time. So Xiong Ga didn't ask again this time, and instead got up to say goodbye to Li Qing before turning and heading towards the tribe.
Li Qing looked up at the night sky and gestured towards a spot. "I've only been away from the tribe for a few days, and so much has already happened. I wonder how the tribe is doing now."
"The pressure is immense."
Li Qing muttered something, and just then, a girl walked towards him with a roast chicken. She gently handed the chicken to Li Qing and looked at him, indicating that they couldn't understand each other's language and had to communicate in this way.
This roasted chicken is very plump. After roasting, it is sprinkled with the unique seasoning of the Qingye tribe, which gives off an intoxicating aroma.
"This one is enough."
Li Qing smiled and nodded at the girl.
The girl smiled sweetly at Li Qing. She had already heard about what happened at dusk, and she felt both fondness and curiosity towards this person who had "saved" their tribe. She looked Li Qing up and down, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Li Qing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing," the girl quickly said shyly in her tribe's dialect, and ran away embarrassedly.
"oh."
Li Qing responded blankly.
Watching the girl's retreating figure, Li Qing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Her skin is so well-maintained, and her face is so hydrated. It seems that this is the result of her diet."
Smelling the aroma of roast chicken, Li Qing couldn't help but think of Chu and Dahei again, so he looked to the side. Just as he looked over there, Dahei, who had been lying on the ground sleeping, suddenly moved slightly.
"Big Black, you're awake!"
Li Qingxin said happily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Big Black shook his head, swayed, and slowly got up.
It looked at Li Qing, and soon a hint of excitement appeared in its eyes. It let out a joyful cry and pounced into Li Qing's arms.
Li Qing hugged Dahei tightly. He quickly discovered the peculiarity of the two herbs from the Qingye tribe—Dahei's wounds were still there, but they were no longer bleeding. Moreover, some of the lighter wounds had scabbed over, and the healing speed was extremely fast.
"Big Black, it's all my fault for getting you hurt," Li Qing said softly, rubbing Big Black's head and pressing her forehead against it. "I promise you, it won't happen again!"
The big black horse immediately stuck out its tongue and licked Li Qing's face to comfort him.
"Haha, stop licking, it tickles."
Li Qing lifted Dahei up and looked at the big black dog, which was facing him and panting with its tongue lolling out. He said earnestly, "You've really suffered, Dahei. You should rest now, but not yet. We need to wait until Chu wakes up and has eaten before we leave immediately. The Red Flower Tribe is in a very dangerous situation, and we must go back right away."
Big Black barked at Li Qing a few times, as if to say, "No problem!"
Li Qing let Dahei move around a bit to prevent its bodily functions from stiffening if it remained unconscious for too long, which could lead to other accidents. He then tore off a chicken leg from the roasted whole chicken, smelled its aroma, and handed it to Dahei. "Here you go, Dahei, you must be starving!"
Big Black was clearly also attracted by the aroma. It sniffed around the chicken leg with its nose before looking at Li Qing.
"Oh dear, you should eat now."
Li Qing stretched the chicken leg down.
This time, Dahei didn't stand on ceremony with Li Qing. It opened its mouth wide and bit off a piece of meat from the chicken leg.
Soon, in just a few bites, Big Black finished the whole chicken leg.
"You have quite an appetite."
Seeing Dahei eating so happily, Li Qing felt a little hungry herself and decided to tear off a piece of chicken to try.
"Mmm...what's that smell? It smells so good!"
"Chu, you're awake too!?"
Li Qing turned around with delight.
Chu yawned widely, stretched, looked up at the sky, and immediately his expression changed drastically. "Oh no! I slept for a whole day!"
"What are you doing? We must leave here immediately and return to the tribe!" Chu said urgently. "Come on, Mai Zi, Da Hei has woken up anyway, we can't delay for a moment."
Li Qing said, both amused and exasperated, "What are you thinking? You just took the herbal medicine and fell fast asleep. How could it already be the next day?"
Seeing that Chu still didn't quite believe it, Li Qing had no choice but to say, "It's true. If you don't believe me, ask Dahei."
Big Black immediately barked a few times.
Chu muttered, "Really? The herbs in the Qingye tribe are amazing! After a short nap, my injuries are almost completely healed, and it didn't take up much time at all."
“Of course,” Li Qing tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Chu. “Here, you must be starving. Eat up, we’ll be leaving right away once we’re done eating.”
