　　Li Ye asked curiously, “What ability?”

Jiao Feng paused, and an impatient expression appeared in his face, “Don’t ask too much.”
　　
…Didn’t you speak in your own initiative? Now you won’t finish it.
　　
Li Ye dared not to speak out.
　　
Although Jiao Feng is usually good to her but when it comes to serious things, especially those that makes him unhappy, his temper will be very irritable.
　　
But……
　　
“What does this have to do with us? Leader, why are you…” Li Ye asked.
　　
Thinking of this thing made Jiao Feng angry, “Because of this matter, the head of the Lightwing tribe is angry and said that they needed manpower and materials to search for that person, and will temporarily not exchange materials.”

Li Ye slightly frowned, “If they doesn’t want exchange then they won’t, why don’t they just say it?”

Jiao Feng breath out from his nose.
　　
Li Ye walked over, sat next to Jiao Feng and caressed his chest that was going up and down because of anger, “Leader, don’t be angry, it’s no big deal. We won’t go to them anymore to exchange for supplies.”

Jiao Feng slapped her hands away and stared, “Don’t go? So where are we going to get enough food?”
　　
Blackwater tribe is located in the forest and there are a lot of trees and wild fruits. If they want to eat meat, they need to hunt far away and it also requires many people. If they have no harvest, its like wasting the whole day. So Jiao Feng regularly takes extra materials to exchange for meat.
　　
Li Ye was scolded by him and somewhat felt wronged in her heart.

She is very sad because her favorite son just died. Seeing that Jiao Femg is in a bad mood, she not only did not mention to let him kindly help her get revenge, she also comforted him and now he…
　　
Wait, revenge?
　　
Li Ye’s heart move and suddenly have a plan.
　　
She pressed down the grievance on her face, and gently leaned towards the other, “Leader, I have a solution to the food problem.” “
　　
Jiao Feng is impatient, “Say it.”

　　
“Two days ago, someone told me that they found a small tribe on on the other side of Wanhe Mountain.”
　　
Jiao Feng interrupted her with a bad tone, “You actually got the idea of letting me grab food from a small tribe.”

He said this not because of kindness and doesn’t want to touch the small tribe. Jiao Feng knows that such small tribe’s stomach are generally not full, what can they eat? There’s nothing to grab.
　　
“That’s right, but it’s not about grabbing food, it’s robbing people.”
　　
Hearing this, Jiao Feng had a little interest, “What?”

Li Ye’s soft smile has a trace of viciousness, “I heard that in that small trive, everyone is powerful and very good at hunting. If we have their wives and children in the palm of our hands, they will just…”
　　
Jiao Feng immediately understood her meaning, his eyes bright, “Is it true?!”
　　
Li Ye said, ” I will never dare lie to the leader…”

Cha Ze accepted Lu Yu’s food and the next day, he got up early and followed Shi Tou to work.
　　
Their work today is to collect wet mud from the river, pick up small stones and branches, then pick up the wet mud and place it into a leaf covered basket, carry it back and wait for Lu Yu to collect it.
　　
At first, Cha Ze didn’t understand what they were doing, and Shi Tou explained it to him with pride.
　　
“Our witch is very powerful.”
　　
Cha Ze: “Very powerful…”
　　
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Are witches really that powerful? He heard other people also mentioning witches and he never heard that a witch can build wooden houses this way. But there’s no doubt that the wooden houses in the village is real and he can’t question them.
　　
“Cha Ze, come on!” Shi Tou stood by the river, waving.
　　
Cha Ze didn’t think any more, and answered: “I’m coming.”

They lazily put the dry mud into the water over and over again and then they directly dug the river.
　　
After digging for half a day, Cha Ze suddenly groaned.

He didn’t make a loud noise but Shi Tou still heard him.
　　
“What’s wrong with you?” Shi Tou dropped the mud in his hand and ran across the water.
　　
Cha Ze’s eyes flashed defensively and tried to put his hand behind him.
　　
But his movement was stopped by Shi Tou. The other tilted his head and exclaimed, “Your hand is hurt?!”

Cha Ze pursed his mouth and raised his hand, pretending to smile lightly, “It’s nothing. It’s just a small cut.”
　　
“It’s not a small cut, your palms are cut open. “
　　
“Then I’ll wrap it up with leaves, and you keep on working.” When he finished, he turned around and walked to the shore.
　　
There is some anxiety in his heart, and if he doesn’t go, his secret will be exposed.
　　
Shi Tou held his arm.
　　
“Wait a minute, I have something given by the witch… Hmmm? The wound on your hand is healing. “
　　
Cha Ze’s pupils shrunk.
　　
It’s been found!

His special ability is the reason why the Empty Tribe was massacred.
　　
In his mind, some pictures appeared, how he was saved by the patriarch, how he was caught as a slave by the Lightwing tribe, how they discovered his ability, and then he suffered all kinds of torture, just to confirm whether his ability really existed …
　　
Cha Ze also thought of his current situation. Even if the people in this Matai tribe seems okay but in the face of this ability that everyone wants to have, who knows what they will become. Perhaps they will lock him up, beat him, drink his blood…
　　
Cha Ze gritted his teeth and didn’t know if he should run now.
　　
But if he ran away, he couldn’t see the man again…
　　
“So the witch has given you pills?” Shi Tou suddenly interrupted Cha Ze’s thoughts.
　　
Cha Ze didn’t respond for a moment, “What? “
　　
Shi Tou: “Healing pills. Yes, where did you put it? Is it in your mouth? Haha, I always can’t help but eat it in my mouth…”
　　
Cha Ze felt that his throat was dry, “You are saying… You have pills that you can take and heal immediately?”
　　
He focused on the word “immediately”.

Shi Tou didn’t notice anything and nodded. “Yeah. Didn’t the witch give you the pills?”
　　
Cha Ze choked.

So here, he’s just an ordinary person, isn’t he?
