Chi Shao kept running with Jiang Xuan on her back, because she was running too fast and the road in the jungle was not easy to walk. She was so tired that she was sweating all over and panting.
"You are still injured. If you run too fast, the wound will open and you will be in trouble. It's okay, sister can still hold on."
Chi Shao continued to run forward, not daring to stop, because the crows of crows could still be faintly heard behind her, which meant that the hunting team of the Crow Tribe had not been thrown away yet.
Jiang Xuan was very helpless. If only the Crow Tribe's hunting team had appeared a few days later, his injuries would have healed and he would be able to run by himself without the need for red peony back.
The crows from behind gradually disappeared, and I don’t know how long I ran. A bamboo forest appeared in front of me, and Chi Shao’s face showed a happy look.
"Here we are, this is the farthest temporary overnight spot for the hunting team."
Chi Shao carried Jiang Xuan up the mountain and walked into a bamboo forest. Deep in the bamboo forest, there was a bamboo house built by the previous hunting team.
"No, there's someone inside!"
Just as Chi Shao was about to go over, he suddenly noticed a faint white smoke coming from the roof. Apparently someone had lit a fire inside.
Chi Shao immediately took Jiang Xuan and hid behind a big rock, not daring to get angry.
"Who? Come out!"
At this moment, someone shouted from the other side of the bamboo house, and then a series of footsteps came running towards this side.
What should I do? After running away for so many days, am I still going to die in the end?
There was a look of despair in Chi Shao's eyes. She had run too far with Jiang Xuan on her back, and she no longer had the strength to run away with him on her back.
Of course, she can also leave Jiang Xuan here and run away by herself. With Jiang Xuan attracting his attention, and she is more familiar with this place, she has a good chance of escaping.
"Sister, run away and don't worry about me."
Jiang Xuan somewhat accepted his fate. Chi Shao was a good sister and had taken good care of him for so many days. Since he was destined to not be able to escape, there was no need to drag Chi Shao to die with him.
He just felt that it was a pity that not long after he had just traveled through time, his dream of building a tribe had not been realized, and he was about to die.
However, Chi Shao held his hand tightly and said with firm eyes: "You are my brother, and you are my only relative. Even if I die, I will not abandon you!"
"You don't have to be like this..." Jiang Xuan's mood was very complicated. Only he knew that he was not Chi Shao's real brother.
"Stop talking, they are coming!"
Chi Shao pulled out the stone knife with one hand and his left hand, and held the short spear in his right hand. His eyes were firm and fierce, ready for the final fight!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Jiang Xuan, who should have been very nervous, calmed down at this moment.
He looked at Chi Shao's profile, and the softest part of his heart was touched.
In fact, he has been feeling awkward in his heart for so many days, because he has traveled through time, and even though he has gained the memory of his original body, he still has no real affection for Chi Shao, his sister.
Until this moment, Chi Shao would rather die than leave him behind. This determination deeply touched him.
Thinking of Chi Shao's meticulous care for him for so many days, Jiang Xuan finally untied the knot in his heart and officially accepted Chi Shao.
"Sister, thank you..."
This time, Jiang Xuan called her sister willingly, and the feeling of alienation in her heart disappeared at this moment.
Chi Shao did not look back. When the footsteps approached, she held a short spear and a stone knife in her hand and rushed towards the unknown enemy without hesitation.
Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth, picked up a stone, and rushed out, planning to give it a try.
However, when he rushed out from behind the stone, he saw Chi Shao holding a short spear and maintaining an attacking posture without taking action.
"Uncaria, Stone Loach, Nanxing, why are you..."
Opposite Chi Shao stood three young men, about eleven or twelve years old. They were holding bone spears or bamboo bows in their hands, and they were stunned on the spot.
Jiang Xuan silently threw away the stone he raised, because he was very familiar with these people.
The tribe where Jiang Xuan originally belonged was called the Deer Tribe, and these people were all members of the Deer Tribe.
These three young men are named Uncaria, Shili, and Nanxing.
Uncaria and Jiang Xuan are both twelve years old. The other two boys, Shi Loach, are eleven years old, and Nan Xing is only ten years old, so they are both younger.
The young man named Undo put down his bone spear and shouted in surprise: "Chi Shao, Xuan, it's great that you are still alive."
The three teenagers all put down their weapons. After the Deer tribe was destroyed, they saw an acquaintance for the first time, and they felt particularly excited.
Chi Shao took back her short spear and asked, "Why are you here?"
Undo said: "Go into the house and tell me, there is a bamboo chicken roasting in the house."
"Okay."
Chi Shao and Jiang Xuan followed them into the bamboo house.
After entering the bamboo house, Jiang Xuan saw two roasted bamboo chickens, some golden insects roasted on the stone slab, a pile of wild fruits, and several lumpy plant roots.
"We caught these two bamboo chickens with lasso traps, here they are for you to eat."
Undo did not hesitate to take down the two roasted bamboo chickens and handed them to Chi Shao and Jiang Xuan respectively.
Chi Shao took a bamboo chicken, tore it in half with his bare hands, gave one half to Jiang Xuan, and returned the bamboo chicken in Jiang Xuan's hand to Uncaria.
"One is enough for us."
Uncaria was no longer polite, because they were young and it was not easy to obtain meat.
Chi Shao asked while eating: "How did you escape here?"
Undoudo then recounted the process of his escape.
It turned out that when the Crow Tribe attacked the Deer Tribe, the difference in strength was relatively large. When the attack reached the back, the shamans and leaders of the Deer Tribe knew that the battle had been lost and the Deer Tribe was about to perish.
The leader Wu He ordered the hunting captain Cang Zhu to escape with the children in the tribe, which could be regarded as preserving some fire for the tribe.
However, how can it be so easy to break out of the siege?
During the battle, Cang Zhu was seriously injured, and the soldiers around him also died one by one. When he finally broke out of the siege, these three teenagers were the only ones left.
Cang Zhu fled with the three teenagers all the way, and finally escaped here.
Chi Shao asked hurriedly: "What about Uncle Cang Zhu?"
The eyes of the three teenagers suddenly dimmed.
Uncaria whispered: "Dead. Uncle Cangzhu was seriously injured. He died a few days after bringing us here. We buried him in the bamboo forest."
There was a sad look in Chi Shao's eyes, but she was strong and did not cry.
Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said: "The people of the Crow Tribe have occupied the hunting ground. They will find it sooner or later. It is no longer safe here."
When the three teenagers heard the words "Crow Tribe", their eyes showed fear, and they were a little panicked for a moment.
Uncaria asked: "Then what should we do?"
Jiang Xuandao: "If you want to survive, you must stay away from the Crow Tribe's activity range. Let's run farther away and find a safe place to stay first."
Chi Shao nodded and said: "Xuan is right, the tribe is gone. We must live well so that we can take revenge in the future!"
Undo clenched his fist and said: "Revenge!"
Shi Loach and Nan Xing also have the flame of revenge in their eyes. They are young and don't know how difficult it is to seek revenge from the Crow Tribe. They only rely on their passion.
Jiang Xuandao: "Pack your things. The people from the Crow Tribe may come anytime. We will leave here tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The three teenagers have no objections to this. They are relatively young, and when encountering such a big event, they will subconsciously rely on people who are stronger than them.
In this way, the five of them had a hearty meal, and then set more traps in the bamboo forest to look for bamboo insects and prepare as much food as possible.
The big bug Jiang Xuan brought was roasted and eaten by everyone. It actually tasted pretty good.
In the evening, Chi Shao walked into the bamboo forest and added some soil to the lonely grave without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking.
The next day, the five people set out again to find a safer and more suitable place to live.
