Dream

The bodies of the people of the Yi tribe were dragged into the woods.

After an unknown time has passed, suddenly, in the pile of bodies, a hunched ‘corpse’ sat over and held his chest, coughing.
　　
This man is called Qing Mu. He found something was wrong as early as he saw a man rushing up towards them with a stone dagger. Sure enough, they couldn’t beat those people.
　　
Qing Mu was secretly glad.
　　
Fortunately, he had a flexible mind. He fell to the ground after getting hit by a fist, faking death. It was the only reason he manage to escape this time.
　　
Kneading the pain on chest, he thought of those ferocious men with a heart filled with fear, but soon his eyes turned ruthless.

This little tribe is going to die.
　　
Qing Mu climbed up and stumbled away.

The direction he went was not towards the Yi Tribe, but the big tribe of Yu Shui’s mother, the Blackwater Tribe.

---

Blackwater tribe, inside a long wooden house.
　　
A woman wrapped in white fur with shell jewelry sat on the upper seat.

When the woman heard Qing Mu say that Yu Shui was dead, her eyes instantly turned red.
　　
The only person she ever loved in her life was her last husband. So their son, Yu Shui is her favorite and beloved child.
　　
She couldn’t help her son become the patriarch of the Blackwater tribe, so when he said he wanted to go out and set up his own tribe, she gave him her full support. People, food, fur, everything that she could give, just hoping that he would live well outside.
　　
But she didn’t expect that her son would be killed.

Although it was her son that first wanted to grab things, but how could this small tribe resist? They should just obediently offer what they had.
　　
Her pitiful son, who was still very young, was killed.
　　
Li Ye covered her face, sobbing weakly.
　　
Qing Mu looked at her immersed in grief, and couldn’t help but remind her, “Madam Li Ye, the leader Yu Shui and the little tribe…”
　　
Li Ye suddenly recovered.

Yes, what she should do now urgently is to retrieve Yu Shui’s body and then slaughter that small tribe to get revenge for her child!
　　
But not now…
　　
Li Ye gritted her teeth, “The leader went to the Light wing tribe for material. When he comes back with the people, I will tell him…”

At dawn.

Lu Yu looked at the upgrade requirments of the Small Red medicine Manufacturing Drawings last night. It’s very simple, just exchange a thousand pound of meat of the same kind.
　　
Lu Yu told the hunting team to kill as much prey as possible, and of course, still consider their safety.
　　
Then, together with the remaining Matai people, they worked hard to collect village upgrade materials.
　　
They were busy all morning before two hemp grasses were collected in the woods. By the way, they also picked some wild mountain mushrooms, ready to make a wild mushroom fried rabbit meat at noon.
　　
A fresh wild mushroom plus a rabbit without an ounce of fat was fried on a stone board. The fragrant smell hooked the Matai people around and made their mouth water.

Lu Yu pick some large pieces of rabbit meat and place it on the leaves, held it up, and prepared to give it to Tai Li.
　　
He did not even manage to take two steps towards the other when Tai Li suddenly stood up, and walked towards the cabin without looking back.

Lu Yu: ???
　　
In the evening, after dinner, Lu Yu stopped Tai Li and tried to invite him again to take a bath together.
　　
Tai Li stood five meters away from him. With an expressionless face, he replied :”I already washed.”

After he’s done, he turned around and left.
　　
Lu Yu had to face the reality.
　　
Tai Li is hiding from him.

He thought that last night’s change of attitude was only for a moment, how come it still lasted til today…
　　
What the hell is going on?

---

The night is silent.
　　
Tai Li leaned against the wall and sat on the wooden bed.
　　
Even though he lives in a wooden house, he is used to sitting when sleeping.

Tai Li’s thoughts was a little chaotic today. He sat for a long time, before slowly falling asleep.

It’s rare for him to dream.
　　
He dreamed of glthe moonlight, of a thin witch he picked up, standing in front of him with a faint smile on his lips and his eyes clear and watery. He put his hand on his animal skin skirt, untied it a little and slowly, came towards him…
　　
That’s enough!!
　　
Tai Li opened his eyes suddenly.

Feeling the situation of his lower body, his eyes released a ferocious light.
　　
It can’t be like this anymore.
　　
He can’t go on like this.

Tai Li closed his eyes and breath steadily, trying to forget the content of his dream just now and also trying to calm down his body.
　　
“King, are you asleep?” Lu Yu, who lives next door, suddenly knocked on the wooden wall.
　　
In the dark, the young man’s voice is light and soft, as if afraid of waking others and with a little care.

To the man who is already on the edge, its like pouring water to a boiling oil.
　　
Tai Li gritted his teeth and did not speak.
　　
After a while, no more sound came from the other.

Tai Li was unable to sleep. He clenched his fist, and after a while he loosened them as if he reached a compromised. His hand, with difficulty, reached down to his lower body…

---

Lu Yu’s face was puzzled
　　
Is he already asleep?

That can’t be. Before, in the the cave, Tai Li would just sit for a long time before going to sleep.
　　
Maybe the soundproofing of the room is too good that he didn’t hear?
　　
Lu Yu was a little annoyed.

Thinking about the situation yesterday, the favorability task has to be done. Even without that task, he have to ask Tai Li clearly where he had offended him. It’s the first time he admired a person, and if he wanted to do a good job of being a good brother, he must be clear on where he messed up.
　　
Lu Yu turned over to think about, made up his mind and decided to immediately go to Tai Li to chat.
　　
He got up, opened the door, and walked next door…
