After resolving Luo Xin's matter, Li Qing and the other two returned to the tribe.
Dian was very busy. After dealing with Luo Xin's matter, he couldn't care less about his grief. He woke up the group of warriors who were resting in the tribe, selected some reliable warriors with minor injuries, and set off to hunt again. He told them to go and return quickly, as their strength was generally not strong and the longer they stayed outside, the more likely they were to make mistakes.
Since they had never been to Liangmeng River, Chu took on the role of "guide."
Li Qing wasn't assigned any tasks by Dian, so he could take this opportunity to get a good night's sleep.
Lying sprawled on the ground, Li Qing couldn't fall asleep for a while. Just then, a group of people from the tribe walked by.
"I heard that the shaman finally agreed to let us have a celebratory banquet tonight."
"Yes, I heard about it too. They're sending out a hunting party right now, haha. We haven't had a proper meal in ages. We can finally have a good one tonight."
"It still feels great to be able to kill those beasts from the Black Wind Tribe with my own hands! If it weren't for Mai Zi telling us this, we probably would have been kept in the dark forever."
Just then, they walked right up to Li Qing and burst into hearty laughter, saying, "Thanks to you, Mai Zi!"
"fine."
Li Qing had no opinion on the Dao.
As the laughing crowd gradually dispersed, Li Qing began to look forward to the celebratory banquet that evening, as this was the first time he had ever participated in such an event in the world.
Li Qing rubbed his stomach and thought to himself, "I'm really hungry... I hope Chu is with the hunting team this time, so we can bring back a lot of food. Hmm... it would be even more perfect if we had some wine, but unfortunately we don't have any here."
Alcohol is only truly enjoyable when consumed in moments of joy or sorrow. When you're happy, the more you drink, the better it tastes. When you're sad, you can drink to drown your sorrows without even realizing it. But if you drink when you're in a neutral mood, you'll find... alcohol is just... utterly awful.
"Speaking of which, Luo Xin is really unremarkable. He's been away from the tribe for so long, and he was just killed by Dian, yet so many people in the tribe didn't even notice he was dead," Li Qing thought to himself. "Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he betrayed the tribe. It's quite pitiful to think about."
After spacing out for a while and thinking about my promise to Blackfoot, I gradually felt sleepy.
After opening his mouth and yawning a few times, Li Qing's eyelids finally couldn't stay open any longer. Ignoring the fact that he was lying in the middle of the road, he fell fast asleep.
...
Li Qing didn't sleep for long; he got up around 2 p.m.
Looking at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, scorching the earth. Li Qing stretched a few times and looked towards the tribe.
The tribe was still sparsely populated at this time, and many women were still resting. The few remaining warriors were on patrol. Dian and Jiewu were nowhere to be found; they were probably resting in a cave. It seemed that the hunting party had not yet returned.
Li Qing wandered aimlessly around the tribe for a while, but couldn't find anything to do. Feeling rather bored, he walked to the makeshift "doghouse" that he had previously built for Dahei with a few branches and some weeds.
"Big Black".
Li Qing called out.
Big Black immediately sprang to its senses. It seemed it hadn't slept at all. It hurriedly stood up and enthusiastically stuck out its tongue at Li Qing.
“There’s nothing to worry about for now, so why don’t I take Big Black out for a walk?” Li Qing thought to himself. “Since I came into this world, I’ve hardly ever explored the area around the tribe. This is a good opportunity to get familiar with the environment so I can have a better understanding of it in the future.”
The other members of the tribe didn't mind Li Qing's idea of going out for a walk, but a few kind-hearted people told him to be careful and to come back quickly. If he came back late, the meat brought back by the hunting team might be snatched up by the others.
"Don't worry, I'll just wander around around here."
Li Qing smiled and said to these people.
He led Big Black out of the tribe and headed west.
The west was a dense jungle, with vegetation much denser than the other three directions, and excellent sunlight. Li Qing was very much looking forward to what he might find there. Maybe he would be lucky enough to discover another treasure trove of food, so that the people in the tribe would no longer have to travel as far as Liangmeng River for a little bit of food.
They currently have no plans to move away from here, including Li Qing.
A third of the Black Wind Tribe's fighters perished. Given the Black Wind Tribe's nature, they certainly wouldn't bring their remaining hundred men and charge in to take revenge on the Red Flower Tribe. They weren't stupid; they knew that if they remained silent, the White Feather Tribe, who had been observing from the shadows, would jump out and attack their tribe—a situation the Black Wind Tribe didn't want to see.
Half of these things were Li Qing's own speculation about Tu's personality, and the other half were things that Black Foot had said to Li Qing, which made Li Qing feel at ease. When they met again, Black Foot not only said these things, but also described to Li Qing in detail his plan to unite with the Red Flower Tribe to kill the Black Wind Tribe and reduce the food pressure in this area.
“Of course, all of this is predicated on defeating the Black Wind Tribe that came to offend us,” Li Qing thought. “Then, those fifty or so Black Wind Tribe guys who came to attack are all finished. After that, we can proceed according to Black Foot’s plan. Everything is going smoothly, but…”
"Hmph... Blackfoot," a barely perceptible smile appeared on Li Qing's lips. He knew Blackfoot's personality all too well. From the tone of Blackfoot's voice when he spoke to him, Li Qing could tell that what Blackfoot had said in the Centipede Cave, "seeking revenge on the Mishan Tribe," was just a random excuse he made up to leave. His real purpose was to find a better opportunity to talk to him about taking down the Black Wind Tribe. However, what neither Li Qing nor he expected was that what was originally a very complicated matter would become much simpler because of the sudden appearance of a "Giant Ape."
“Fortunately, everything is developing in the direction I hope to see,” Li Qing frowned. He recalled the smile on Black Foot’s face when he was communicating with him, which made him very uncomfortable. “...After we deal with the Black Wind Tribe, it will be the White Feather Tribe’s turn.”
"What a despicable bunch of people, they've changed my understanding of primitive people."
"Using someone else to do your dirty work... Your White Feather tribe knows how to do it, and so do I. In fact, compared to you, I'm a grandmaster."
