The man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't even remember my own name."
"Have you become a fool? This is troublesome. If you just don't belong to the village, it's okay. I still have some reputation in the village. At most, I can let you join our village. But if you don't have a brain, my people will not take you in." The sturdy man frowned.
The man smiled bitterly and explained: "I just can't remember some things from the past, but my brain is still fine."
"There must be something wrong with your brain." The sturdy man sighed.
"Brother, what are you wearing on your hand?" The little boy pointed at the man's thumb and asked curiously.
The man raised his left hand and took a look at what the little boy said. Suddenly, a word popped up in his mind: "Qian Kun Ring!"
The man was stunned, and then told the little boy truthfully: "This is the Qiankun Ring."
Seeing that the little boy still looked confused, the man explained: "Actually, I don't know what it is used for. It should be just for decoration!"
"Okay, little brother, you should take good care of your injuries first. We can talk about other things after you recover. Erniu, don't disturb me." The sturdy man shook his head and walked out of the house with the little boy.
After the sturdy father and son left, the man took off the Qiankun Ring on his hand and looked at it carefully with a puzzled look.
There was a strange symbol engraved on the ring, and the man easily figured out its meaning: it was the word "牧".
"Mu? Li Mu!" Another name appeared in the man's mind.
"So my name is Li Mu!" the man murmured.
Li Mu thought for a long time, but he still had no clue except his name. He simply put the Qiankun Ring back on his hand and stopped dwelling on his past. At least he had made some progress now, hadn't he? Take your time, and you'll slowly remember the past. Thinking of this, he fell asleep again.
It was unknown how long it had passed, but when the man woke up again, he found that his body had fully recovered. He jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
A group of people were busy outside the room. Several teenagers were processing a wild boar they had just hunted. A group of women were washing clothes by a stream not far away, and children were playing in the open space.
"Little brother, your body is amazing. Even though all the bones in your body are shattered, you can still walk in just a few days!" The sturdy man who was originally instructing the young men on how to cut up a wild boar said in surprise when he saw Li Mu standing at the door.
"Haha, uncle, this is all thanks to your care, but I still have no idea about what happened in the past." Li Mu said with a smile.
The other people in the field put down what they were doing and looked at Li Mu curiously. In fact, everyone knew when Li Mu was carried back to their village, and they even thought that Li Mu would not survive when they saw the miserable state.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I discussed it with the old village chief this morning. Your recovery ability is so strong that even if you are a fool, our village can make an exception and keep you. We'll think about it slowly later." The strong man laughed.
"Thank you very much! Uncle, where are the benefactors who saved me that day? I have to thank them properly!" Li Mu asked.
"They went out hunting and haven't come back yet." said the strong man.
Li Mu nodded and said, "By the way, my name is Li Mu."
"Do you remember what happened in the past?" the strong man asked happily.
Li Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, I just remembered the name."
"Haha, it's okay, take your time, there's no rush. When you're better, I'll let Daniu and the others take you hunting." The sturdy man said cheerfully.
"Brother, why are your clothes different from ours? Aren't you cold?" a child asked curiously. People in their village all wore fur coats, while Li Mu's clothes were very thin. In fact, Li Mu's clothes were also a treasure, so they could be preserved intact in Zeus's self-explosion and the turbulence of time and space. However, Li Mu didn't know all this at the moment, and had completely forgotten about the past.
"Little brother, actually I have some doubts. I have been to many tribes when I was young, but I have never seen you dressed like this. Otherwise, I can infer where you are from from your clothes!" said the strong man.
"Haha, uncle, this world is completely unfamiliar to me now. If you have time, could you tell me about this world? Maybe I can remember something from it." Li Mu said.
"Okay, I happen to be free now. Let's go over there and I'll tell you in detail." The sturdy man agreed and pointed to a few stone benches not far away.
"Just follow the method I just taught you. Don't think about being lazy. I'll be watching you over there!" The strong man told the boys who were handling the wild boar before leaving. Then he took Li Mu to the stone bench and patiently introduced this world to Li Mu.
It turned out that the strong man was called Zha Wa, and the two siblings who saved Li Mu were called Zha Ya and Zha Daniu. The village was called Qimu Village. Zha Wa was once the best warrior in the village and a good hunter. Now that he was a little older, he no longer went out hunting. He usually taught the young people in the village some skills and was responsible for the safety of the village.
Qimu Village and dozens of nearby villages belong to the Python Tribe, and this world is made up of large and small tribes, and the tribes are constantly fighting for limited resources. The Python Tribe is also a large-scale tribe in this area of hundreds of kilometers, but it still has to guard against attacks from other tribes at all times. If it is not careful, it may be annexed by other tribes, and the consequence of annexation is that the other party will kill all the elderly, and the young and middle-aged male tribesmen will be directly executed on the spot or become slaves of the other tribe. Although the other party will temporarily spare the lives of women and children, they will not escape the fate of becoming slaves. Life and death are only a matter of thought.
Although the tribes competed directly, they still had a chance to survive because they all belonged to the same tribe. For example, the Python Tribe and dozens of tribes of all sizes within a radius of thousands of kilometers belonged to the Shenlong Tribe. The tribal dispute was truly unreserved. During the war between the two sides, no matter old or young, they killed anyone they saw, leaving no one alive. When Zawa was young, he followed his tribe to participate in such a war. Wherever they passed, there was a river of blood and a mountain of corpses. Naturally, their Shenlong Tribe won that war, and all the people of that tribe were slaughtered. The Shenlong Tribe also obtained one-third of the other side's territory. As for the remaining land, it was divided by several other tribes watching the war nearby. The people of the Shenlong Tribe did not say anything about this. They had long expected this result. Although the people of those tribes took away the fruits of their victory without any effort, they had just experienced a war, so how could they dare to attack the people of those tribes again? Moreover, they could not defend such a large territory suddenly.
I heard that in the distant Middle-earth, there is an existence called a country. However, after experiencing that tribal war, Zawa was disheartened. How could he have the heart to explore the world? Protecting his own village and his own tribe is the top priority!
Therefore, Zawa knew nothing about the legendary Middle-earth, and even no one in the village could explain it clearly.
