Chapter 24

(8.3)

This day, Mu Qing first laid on the ground on that piece of animal skin to think for a long time, then afterwards, she couldn’t help but admit that so far, everything was still a mess, she could not think of what to do next. Then she thought about her boyfriend who had just cheated on her. When he’ll find out that she had been struck by lightning and had disappeared, would he feel even a little sad because of her? And then, she suddenly thought of a very important question, and suddenly sat up on the ground.

If she wasn’t mistaken, she was now Li Mang’s prey. So next to follow, and that was going to be today after the sun goes down, would she have to have intercourse with him?

The last time, during the night, he had molested her before giving up. She still couldn’t understand why he had stopped midway. Was it because he had decided in his mind that the good prey should? be offered to the chief first, so he did not force her to have intercourse ? Or maybe, she even grudingly speculated, could it be that, because she had been sweating in the jungle for a few days without bathing, the smell down there wasn’t good, which made him give up ?

Thinking about this possibility, she felt a feeling close to wicked pleasure, and she couldn’t help but grin alone.

The door curtain made of animal skin was lifted by a small hand. The little girl from just before came inside.

She seemed a little afraid of her, but she looked at her with eyes full of curiosity.

Mu Qing then noticed that one of her leg was limping, she was walking unevenly.

Her heart was suddenly filled with sympathy, and she leapt up from the ground, walked towards the little girl, and then lifted her up high.

The strength of her arms was very poor and she couldn’t even manage to do more than three standard push-ups. But the girl was so light that she could lift her over her head with little effort.

The little girl seemed to have never played this kind of game with adults, so at first she looked a little scared, but very quickly she started to giggle, very happily.

Mu Qing put her down on the animal skin. Seeing her looking at herself with eyes full of expectation, Mu Qing thought for a moment before she went outside to take out a thin rope from the fence wall. There were many of these hanging on it, it looked like the women here were using kneaded soft bark or vines to weave ropes during their free time.

Mu Qing tied the rope in a knot, and then taught the little girl how to play the game of cat cradle with the rope. Mu Qing patiently taught her, repeated the process over and over again, and after the little girl had seen her demonstration many times, she finally was able to master it. Mu Qing herself could make ten kinds of patterns. She looked very happy, she was turning over the rope with Mu Qing while constantly giggling.

Mu Qing used to think she was an impatient person. But now she found out that she was actually very patient. Right now, she had been sitting face to face with this little girl on the ground, playing this game of rope for at least an hour.

That woman came over in the middle, she called “Youyou”, before lifting the animal skin curtain to have a look inside, the expression on her face seemed to indicate that she was also greatly interested.

Youyou was probably the name of that little girl.

When the shadow of the sun entered the hut from the west side, Mu Qing suddenly heard the sound of a deep and low horn outside.

She and Youyou stopped moving their hands at the same time. The girl suddenly got up from the ground, babbled something at Mu Qing, and then dragged her outside with an excited face.

When Mu Qing went out, she was surprised to find out that the large open space in the middle of the settlement was now full with a large number of men and women who had gathered here at some point, and it looked like there were still many people coming, joining in one after the other. That chief was standing tall on a large tree stump in the middle of the open space.

Mu Qing stiffened for a moment.

She saw that her telescope was now hanging around the chief’s neck.

She was pulled by Youyou and when she got closer to the crowd, it was then that she saw the two men standing on the left and right side of the chief. One was Li Mang, the other was also a rather sturdy-looking man and was very young.
