After calming Aunt Mei down, Jiang Li, still worried, decided to go find Ye Yao to ask about it.
Now the bird tribe is just surrounding the snake tribe, and the snake tribe has also sent soldiers to patrol, fearing that the bird tribe will suddenly launch a surprise attack.
But now Ye Yao is not in the cave, and she doesn’t know where he has gone.
Fortunately, not long after leaving the cave, I saw Guo Xia coming towards me, and behind him were more than a dozen soldiers.
What you think will come true.
Jiang Li curled his lips and smiled, then strode towards Guo Xia.
"Xiao Li, why did you come out?"
"Guo Xia, where's Ye Yao?"
The two spoke in unison. After hearing each other's words, they closed their mouths silently at the same time.
"Xiao Li, tell me first, what do you want to talk to Ye Yao about?" Guo Xia asked.
Jiang Li paused for a moment before speaking, "I just heard that the bird tribe has surrounded this place and I want to ask what the situation is now."
Guo Xia sighed heavily after hearing this. "The situation is at a stalemate now. It is said that the queen of the bird tribe is on the way."
Jiang Li was stunned after hearing this. Even the queen of the bird tribe came? Isn't this a big deal?
"But Yanhe's death has nothing to do with me?" Jiang Li felt very aggrieved when he thought about the false title he had been given.
Guo Xia nodded and patted Jiang Li's arm to comfort him.
"We all know these things, but the bird people don't believe it. It is said that the bird people are furious and are attacking you one after another. They want to capture you as soon as possible to avenge their princess."
After hearing this, Jiang Li's slightly frowned brows tightened even more.
But this is indeed the style of the bird tribe.
Most of the bird people are single-celled. They always follow the crowd and never think twice.
Jiang Li sighed. There was nothing she could do. Who made her so unlucky?
"Jiang Li, you don't have to worry. Nuo, look after them."
Guo Xia raised his hand and pointed his thumb at the soldiers behind him.
Jiang Li raised his eyes and looked over.
"This is?"
Guo Xia opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth.
"This is Ye Yao's order. He sent them here to protect you and Aunt Mei. Ye Yao is now discussing countermeasures with the Snake King, so I'm afraid he won't be able to accompany you during the day. For your safety, you'd better stay in the cave honestly to prevent them from stealing your home."
Jiang Liming nodded blankly, "Okay, I understand."
She stayed in the cave obediently, and to relieve her boredom, she asked the three little ones to come and chat and play with her every day.
They said they were playing with her, but in fact it was Jiang Li who was coaxing them.
She was either climbing trees to pick fruits for them or going fishing, which kept her very busy.
The more this happened, the more she missed Jiang Nianhe and Jun Rui from the White Fox Clan.
I don’t know if they are obedient, eat well and sleep well.
Jiang Li let out a long sigh, it was indeed the worry from his old mother.
Even though she knew that there were people specifically serving them, and even serving them better than her, she still couldn't help but worry.
Jiang Li sat under the tree, holding the fruit in his hand, at a loss as to what to do.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Hu Laoer walked up to her and sat down next to her.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?" Hu Laoer looked at her puzzledly, holding the fruit in his hand.
At this time Jiang Li came back to her senses, tilted her head to look at Hu Laoer, and smiled at her.
"I'm fine, I just miss my two children. I don't know how they are doing now? What they are doing..." As he spoke, Jiang Li's face became more worried.
Although Hu Laoer is young, she is a very thoughtful little girl.
He also knew that the Snake Tribe was now surrounded by a group of inexplicable orcs. Combined with the market exchanges among the tribe members, Hu Laoer had a general idea of the situation.
Hu Laoer opened his arms and held Jiang Li in his arms.
Her voice was soft and sticky. "Don't worry, sister. It will be over soon. You will see them soon."
Hearing Hu Laoer comforting him, Jiang Li's heart softened instantly.
She raised her hand and touched her fair little face, smiling.
"Okay, thank you for your comfort."
Hu Laoer smiled embarrassedly, and his smile was very sweet.
"Hehehe, you're welcome, sister."
Seeing Hu Laoer like this, Jiang Li really liked him.
She also seems to have such a lovely daughter.
The three little ones didn't leave until it got dark.
Jiang Li stayed in the cave waiting for Ye Yao.
When the sky was completely dark and full of stars, Ye Yao finally came back.
Although his face looked the same as usual, Jiang Li could still sense a hint of fatigue.
What is happening now is very troubling to them.
He wanted to keep her safe, but he also didn't want his people to get hurt. It was a real dilemma.
Jiang Li pursed her lips, stood up and walked towards him.
Ye Yao, who had always been very sensitive, waited until she came to his side before he realized it belatedly.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" He looked at her and spoke softly.
"I'm waiting for you." Jiang Li paused for a moment and then asked, "Have you eaten?"
Ye Yao shook his head, "Not yet."
"Just right, the porridge and vegetables just came up, they're not cold yet, drink them quickly."
She pointed to the stone table. Fortunately, she was afraid that Ye Yao had not eaten, so she asked someone to prepare the meal in advance.
"Okay." Ye Yao nodded and sat down at the stone table with Jiang Li.
Seeing that Jiang Li was staring at him without taking any action, he tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.
"Why don't you eat?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I've already eaten, you can eat it."
Ye Yao said nothing and continued eating.
After he finished eating, Jiang Li slowly spoke.
"Ye Yao, what's the situation outside now?"
Ye Yao was not surprised when he heard her question, as if he had expected it.
He knew her personality, it would be strange if he didn't ask.
"The Queen of the Bird Tribe came and my father negotiated with her, but to no avail."
"What does she want?"
Ye Yao was silent for a moment, "She wants you to take responsibility for her daughter's death."
Jiang Li closed his mouth and pursed his lips tightly into a slit.
This answer did not surprise her.
However, the number of bird people has not decreased but increased, and Aunt Mei talks about the calmness of the bird queen.
Asking her to take responsibility for Yanhe's death is probably putting it mildly.
She probably wanted to capture her and torture her to ease the pain in her heart, right?
After all, the bird queen's methods have always been cruel.
She had heard a rumor.
It is said that the bird king took a second look at the female who was pouring wine during a banquet, and was dissected by the queen that night and thrown into the back mountain.
The whole bird tribe was shocked at the time. Afterwards, the news was widely spread and could hardly be suppressed.
It wasn't until the Bird King came forward that he said it was just a rumor and not to be believed.
But now it seems that this is not just a rumor. On the contrary, the queen of their bird tribe has always acted like this.
