The adult males in the Nanshan tribe go out hunting every day. Today is no exception. Just after the morning, around eight or nine o'clock, Shi Ang blew the horn in the center of the tribe. The males from every household came out and spontaneously formed a circle in the open space.
Qi Yan hid behind the crowd, his thin little body hiding behind the wooden pillar, carefully looking at Shi Ang in the middle.
Today is the day when Joanna will be picked up. The people of the Nanshan tribe have a fixed routine. There is no reason for them to give up hunting. Instead of doing those nonsense and delaying time, it is better to find an opportunity to take the initiative.
Feeling a gaze full of doubt and inquiry, Shi Ang accurately captured the owner of that gaze and looked straight over.
Qi Yan's eyes collided with his, and he quickly turned sideways, trying to hide himself behind a pillar. But the pillar was so thick, how could it possibly hide him? So his action of using the pillar as a shield made Shi Ang almost burst out laughing.

Lu Er walked out of the crowd and came to Qi Yan's side. He touched his head and felt the softness of his hair. For a moment, he was distracted and said, "Don't worry, you will be fine in the tribe."
Every tribe has male guards. Even if other males go out hunting, there will be capable ones who stay to protect the old and the young and the females who can't fight.
After comforting Qi Yan, Lu Er was ready to leave. Just a few steps away, his hand was suddenly held by a pair of slightly cool hands.
Lu Er's eyes widened, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Yan's face was slightly red, his eyes were wandering to the other side, and he murmured in a low voice: "I, I'm scared... Take me with you..."
The white skin was as red as cherry blossoms, and the wandering eyes showed the owner's nervousness and expectation.
Lu Er's throat was dry, and he quickly held Qi Yan's hand back, wrapping his big palm around his small hand, conveying the fiery temperature.
"Okay, then you must follow me closely!" Lu Er, who was confused by the magic skill of Bai Lianhua (nonsense!), held Qi Yan's hand tightly, and took him to walk behind Shi Ang in full view of everyone.
Seeing the two men coming hand in hand, Shi Ang couldn't help feeling jealous and became agitated. He spoke in a bad tone: "Luer, why did you bring the little female here!"
"He's scared to be here alone." Luer looked at Qi Yan and smiled gently, "I'm going to take him with me. I will be responsible if anything happens."
"Luer!" Shi Ang frowned and said in a heavier tone: "This is not a joke. What if the little female encounters any danger?"
"I will risk my life to protect him!" Luer also became serious, and his resolute and cold face became more solemn.
The two most prestigious males in the tribe were confronting each other. No one else dared to say anything. They could only watch with bated breath and try to mediate when necessary...
The atmosphere began to solidify. Qi Yan's originally timid appearance became even more frightened when the two looked at each other. He shook off Lu Er's hand, looked around in panic, and then bowed deeply to Shi Ang and Lu Er.
"I'm sorry! I've caused you trouble!"
His voice was trembling, and it was unknown how much courage he mustered to shout it out. After shouting, he didn't even look at other people, turned around and rushed out of the crowd, running away in a random direction.
"Qi Yan!" Lu Er called him, and regardless of the others, he ran over.
Seeing this, Shi Ang's chest rose and fell violently, and it was unknown whether he was angry or infected by other emotions.
He was worried about the little female, but everyone was waiting for the hunt...
Shi Ang was in a knot, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed on his shoulders. Shi Ang turned around, and it was Xiong Tucker.
"Go after him!" Xiong Tucker was muscular, but at this moment, she acted like a caring sister who comforted people, "If you trust me, I will host the hunt this time! We caught as many prey yesterday as we did today!"
"Xiong Tucker..." Shi Ang touched Xiong Tucker's arm gratefully, then turned around and chased in the direction Qi Yan ran.
