"Dota, if you have nothing to do, please leave quickly. You are not welcome in Qimu Village!" Zawa hurried back from outside and said with a unfriendly look on his face.
"Haha~ Zava, in fact, if you can beg for this kid, I can spare his life tomorrow!" Dota laughed arrogantly, and turned away without giving the other party a chance to speak. His goal has been achieved, raising Li Mu's status in the hearts of the people and disturbing Li Mu's mood. It is no longer necessary to stay and argue with Li Mu and others, which will be counterproductive.
"Li Mu, don't care about what other people think. Just give it your all tomorrow. Well... try to hold on for a while longer!" Zawa said to Li Mu.
Li Mu was helpless. Although he himself didn't know how strong he was now, he really didn't take Dota seriously. Zava had been more nervous than he was these days and kept reminding him. However, Li Mu, as usual, didn't explain much, just nodded. Anyway, the result would be out tomorrow.
At this time, people from all the villages were talking about Li Mu's origins. Ma Mu from Tuo Village was very enthusiastic. He told everyone what he saw and heard at that time, and mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that he had never seen Li Mu in Qimu Village before. Everyone understood what Ma Mu meant. They were not stupid. Li Mu's facial features were different from everyone else's. He looked like a foreigner!
As a result, people from other villages dared not to contact the people of Qimu Village. Qimu Village not only offended General Duota, but also might harbor foreigners. Although the leader of the Python Tribe valued talents the most, as long as the foreigners were not hostile to the Python Tribe and had the ability, they would be accepted to join their Python Tribe. For example, General Luotun was a foreigner who defected to the leader in the early years. Because of his outstanding ability and outstanding military exploits for the Python Tribe, he gradually rose to a high position over the years and became one of the four generals of the Python Tribe, commanding 300 warriors of the Python Tribe.
But where did so many Luotun come from? If Li Mu really had evil intentions, then if it was found out later that the villages that were friendly with him would be implicated, and he might even lose his life.
"This villain!" Looking at Ma Mo's behavior, Zawa clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Haha, Ma Mu is like this. You will have many times to deal with him in the future. Don't worry about him. We are not afraid of what he says as long as he has not done anything wrong." Dadong said with a smile.
Zawa nodded. After these days of getting along, he believed in Li Mu. No matter what the reason was, it was his children who shot the python. Li Mu just took it on. Besides, Li Mu's life was saved by his children. How could he repay kindness with enmity? As long as Li Mu could get the appreciation of the leader tomorrow, no one in this python tribe could touch them!
"Everyone, take a rest. We can talk about the exchange of supplies after the meeting is over." Zawa said to the villagers. No one wanted to trade with people from their village now, so they might as well let everyone have a good rest.
The villagers were somewhat disappointed when they saw this, but most of them had no complaints. They just hated Ma Mu in their hearts.
But not everyone thought so. A big bearded man stood up and said sarcastically: "Village chief, it's ok to sacrifice everyone's interests for an outsider, but is it worth taking such a big risk?"
"Oh? That's right. So what do you think we should do?" Dadong asked.
"Haha, I heard that Li Mu was dying when he was carried back by Daniu. How could such a person hurt the python, and he used arrows from our village? I think it was most likely Zhaya and Daniu who shot the python that day, and Zhawa made some kind of deal with Li Mu to save his children, so Li Mu was willing to take the blame for them." Deduoha said with certainty.
The villagers were simple-minded and had not thought much about it before, but when they heard Duoha say this, they immediately started talking about it. If this was really the case, then wasn't Zawa risking their entire village for his own benefit?
"Nonsense, the python hurt people, so what's the crime in hurting it? During that period, many people in our village were injured by that beast, right? And the child from Longmu's family was killed by that beast. Today I will tell you, the beast was indeed injured by my son Daniu, but this was also to protect the peace of my village!" Zawa said loudly.
Zhaya and Daniu also walked out of the crowd and admitted what they had done.
"That makes things easy. Let's hand Daniu over to General Dota, admit your mistakes, and reason with Dota if anything happens. If Dota insists on being unreasonable, Zhaya can still take care of you, Zawa, until the end of your life if Daniu has an accident. As for this Li Mu, let's sever ties with him and our Qimu Village now!" Deduoha said.
Some villagers were a little shaken. After thinking about it, it made sense. Zawa's two children and Li Mu, who had a close relationship with their family, had offended Doha. Why should the whole village take risks with them? Some people began to discuss it.
"Dodeha, what do you mean? Let us sacrifice Daniel to please Dota? If you want to do it, do it thoroughly. Just hand me over to Dota as well!" Zaya said angrily.
"You must be careful. I know you are not convinced that I gave the position of village chief to Zawa, but everyone has seen Zawa's contribution to the village. If Zawa had not been in charge of our village over the years, with your ability, how could our village guard such a large hunting ground? You have been against Zawa in every way since he returned to the village more than 20 years ago. If you could put your thoughts on the right things, I might not change my original idea. You are still the future village chief. Let's talk about Li Mu. In the few months since he came to our village, he has caught more prey than several old hunters in the village in a year. You want to add insult to injury just because of this groundless speculation? I was really blind in the beginning. I trained you as the next village chief for so many years!" Dadong said angrily.
"Old village chief, stop talking. No matter what consequences this incident brings, I, Zawa, will bear them all. Our village will not be implicated." Zawa said.
"Haha, I feel relieved to hear Brother Zawa say this. Brother Zawa, you have to understand that everything I do is for the sake of our Qimu Village, not targeting you!" Duoha laughed. He didn't care about Dadong's attitude. He firmly believed that Li Mu would definitely die against Duota tomorrow. When he mentioned the incident of Daniu shooting the python, Duota would definitely not let it go, and Zawa would definitely not back down. In this way, Zawa would not be able to save his life, let alone become the village chief. In this way, the position of village chief would definitely be his turn. He had a high support rate in the village, and Qimu Village was not ruled by Dadong alone.
Li Mu said nothing about what was happening in front of him. He knew in his heart that Deduoha was using him to target Zawa, and no matter what he said, it would only make things worse.
