Yin Cang looked away and stared at his chest stained with blood, as if trying to block out the words in his ear from his mind.
Seeing Yin Cang's stubborn look, Yin Gu shook his head helplessly.
He knew his own body well and he didn't have much time left.
"Cang, my only wish is that you can grow up safely. Only when you grow up can you fight against them, understand?"
"You have to live, you must live..."
Yin Gu repeated it over and over again. He knew that Yin Cang had heard it, and the voice continued until he was so weak that he fell asleep.
Yin Cang stood by silently, and there was no movement in his dark eyes.
I don't know how long I slept, and footsteps were heard outside the door.
"The chief asked me to bring them some food." Then came the voice of a female.
Yincang immediately looked at the door with caution. Yin Gu beside him also woke up and patted the back of his hand, as if he was smoothing the fur of a pet.
"It's a female from this tribe, don't be so nervous..."
Yincang's beast-like eyes did not change at all, and he stared at Lu Mian'er who walked in vigilantly.
As soon as Lu Mian'er entered the room, she saw a pair of fierce eyes looking at her and was startled.
After a closer look, she found that it was just a cub.
She breathed a sigh of relief and put the meat and fruit in her hand beside the bed, "Are you hungry? The chief asked me to bring you some food, eat it quickly."
She wiped a large fruit with her own hands and handed it to Yincang as a friendliness.
Yincang just looked at her indifferently, motionless.
"Ahem... Thank you, my brother is a loner and doesn't like to interact with beastmen other than me, sorry." Yin Gu explained weakly. "
It's okay." Lu Mian'er shook her head quickly and looked at Yin Cang twice more.
The cub's eyes looked as fierce as Long Mo's.
She was very surprised that a cub could have such a fierce look.
"Thank the chief for me, the beasts in your tribe are all very good, thank you for taking him in." Yin Gu pulled Lu Mian'er back to her thoughts with a grateful voice.
"You're welcome, the chief said that you can stay here with peace of mind, our tribe is very safe." Lu Mian'er replied with a smile.
Yin Gu also smiled gently.
"It seems that your tribe... doesn't reject foreign beastmen. This is the first time I've seen such a tribe." His voice was slightly doubtful and tentative.
"Of course, you don't know yet? Our tribe is a mixed tribe, and there are all kinds of beastmen." Lu Mian'er explained kindly.
After hearing Lu Mian'er's explanation, Yin Gu felt relieved.
The mixed tribe is the only tribe that does not reject outsiders. Although it is not as strong as other tribes, it may be the best choice for Yin Cang.
Lu Mian'er showed curiosity, "Have you been to many tribes?" "
Our tribe was attacked by a group of wolf beastmen. I fled with my brother to come here. We met several tribes on the way, but..."
Yin Gu smiled bitterly and recounted his experience along the way.
After hearing what Yin Gu said, Lu Mian'er showed an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had been through this."
"It's okay." Yin Gu shook his head and asked casually, "The female who saved me, was she a witch doctor?"
"Are you asking about Jiaojiao? She's not a witch doctor, but the Beast God taught her medical skills in a dream. Jiaojiao is very powerful, and you will get better."
When talking about Hu Jiaojiao, Lu Mian'er opened up.
Ever since Hu Qinggao and his friends showed off that Hu Jiaojiao was a witch doctor, everyone in the tribe knew about it. Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to come out to clarify and put the blame on the Beast God.
Now all the beasts in the tribe think that the Beast God taught her medical skills personally.
Yin Gu lowered his eyelids, thinking.
"Thanks to Jiaojiao for finding you and rescuing you. If it weren't for Jiaojiao, you might have been eaten by wild beasts."
"Jiaojiao is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is the lucky star of our tribe..."
Listening to Lu Mian'er's endless praise, Yin Gu's expression became more determined.
"Can I see her again?" he asked.
"You want to see Jiaojiao?" Lu Mian'er stopped and saw that he looked sincere. She thought he just wanted to thank Hu Jiaojiao, so she nodded and said, "I can go and ask for help."
"Thank you." Yin Gu thanked him with a grateful face.
Let him do one last thing for Yin Cang before he dies.
This is the only thing he can do now.
...
Afternoon.
Long Mo came back from hunting, and Hu Jiaojiao was feeding rabbits with fresh grass in the yard of the wooden house.
"Long Mo, you're back." Seeing Long Mo, Hu Jiaojiao put down her work and ran over to help him unload the prey.
"By the way, Long Mo, have you seen the meat I put in the kitchen? It seems that there are two pieces of meat missing."
Hu Jiaojiao's words made him pause.
But he answered without hesitation, "I didn't see it."
Hu Jiaojiao looked puzzled, "That's strange, I remember clearly putting it in the kitchen..."
"Maybe someone was hungry and stole it." Long Mo threw the pot without blushing or beating his heart.
"Yes, maybe it was Yao'er who stole it." Hu Jiaojiao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Long Mo smelled the blood in the air, and suddenly grabbed Hu Jiaojiao's wrist and asked nervously, "Are you injured?"
"No." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, not knowing why he suddenly said that.
Long Mo frowned, "You smell of blood."
Hu Jiaojiao lowered her head and sniffed her body, "Is there? I clearly washed it, why don't I smell it..."
How come this guy's nose is more sensitive than a dog's.
"Today, we found two injured beastmen outside the tribe. The chief brought them back, and I went to treat their wounds. Maybe they have some smell on them."
She explained.
"Is it a male?" Long Mo asked with a dark face.
Hu Jiaojiao looked surprised, "How do you know, it's an adult male and a male cub."
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's answer, Long Mo's face became even gloomier.
He bit his back teeth and didn't say anything.
Soon, Hu Jiaojiao continued:
"But he was poisoned, and it is estimated that he will not live for a few days. He should be the cub's only relative. If he dies, the cub will be too pitiful..."
Long Mo raised his eyebrows. Dying?
His face, which was gloomy just now, suddenly became bright.
"Yeah, pitiful." He echoed Hu Jiaojiao's words with a cheerful tone.
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at him, how could she hear happiness? It must be her illusion...
"Jiaojiao!"
Hearing someone calling her, Hu Jiaojiao turned around and found that it was Lu Mian'er standing outside the yard.
Why did she come here at this time?
"I went to see what Lu Mian'er was doing." Hu Jiaojiao said to Long Mo and walked towards Lu Mian'er, "What's wrong?"
"Jiaojiao, the male you rescued seems to be called Yin Gu, and he wants to see you." Lu Mian'er conveyed Yin Gu's words.
Not far away, when Long Mo heard Yin Gu's name, his eyes, which were originally excited, flashed a dark light in his deep eyes.
He quickly walked behind Hu Jiaojiao and asked in a deep voice, "The male you rescued is called Yin Gu?"
