Li Mang walked up to her and stood side by side with her.

Amidst the chants of “Drive her away”, he walked with big steps to his hut.

When he came out, he returned the pheasant feather back to the old woman.

Everyone was stupefied, including Yi Jia and Tu Lu, who had been standing at the back.

Naonao suddenly rushed forward like a madwoman through the crowd and bit him hard on the wrist. Blood slowly flowed out from her lips.

He didn’t shake her off, and just frowned, and looked at her with an almost tolerant and compassionate gaze.

Naduo was already in tears as she took a step towards Mu Qing, but she was pulled back forcefully by her man behind her.

For her, he was actually willing to be banished by his tribe. The power of a human was still extremely small in this era with such a hostile nature, what kind of attachment would make him take this decision that was tantamount to a suicide, or a sacrifice?

Mu Qing smiled faintly and closed her eyes. Another scene appeared in front of her eyes.

When she was following him to leave the settlement, Youyou suddenly broke away from Naduo’s hands and ran towards her.

She wrapped her arms around Mu Qing’s legs and looked up.

Mu Qing slowly squatted down to get on her level.

“Taisakamu! Taisakamu?! Taisakamu?!……”

Youyou hugged her tightly around the neck, choking back sobs and repeating those words over and over again.

“I’ll come back to see you …… I’ll definitely come back ……”

She was in tears too.

When they left, Li Mang took away his leather bag and his sharp spear, Mu Qing took her pillow, which held a knife inside, as well as period pads, her snake skin skirt, the necklace Li Mang gave her and a packet of the rest of the millet seeds they were given as a share a few days ago.

.

When the settlement gradually disappeared behind her until she could no longer see it, Mu Qing glanced back at it. The strands of smoke rising in the twilight made her feel a little sad. She looked up at the side face of Li Mang who was beside her, his jaw was covered by his beard, she could not see if he was pursing his lips, but his eyes were looking straight ahead.

His expression looked more as if the two of them were returning to their homeland together, rather than having just been driven out from their homeland.

Suddenly feeling somewhat reassured, she put her hand into the crook of his arm and held it tightly, keeping pace with him.

This night, they stayed in a cave not far from the settlement. It was the same cave from that time when Li Mang had caught her after she had escaped from Da Wu and hid her for the night, when she first arrived. It seemed to be a place he often went to.

He pushed to the side a pile of rocks in the corner for a while and pulled out a blue bag, then tossed it to her with a grin.

Mu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that this was the same backpack that he had taken from her when she first met him. It had actually been hidden here by him all along. Her only regret was that the telescope was now gone.

She hurriedly opened to see if the things inside were still here or not. The things inside were still here, but when she turned on the flashlight, the light was a little weak, probably because it hadn’t been charged for a long time. Tomorrow, she would put it under the sunshine, it should then be able to recover its original luminosity.

While Mu Qing was fiddling with the flashlight, illuminating the cave wall to check the light, on the one hand, Li Mang was busy making a fire, but there was no expression of surprise on his face. He most likely had already studied all the things in the bag before, and that was why he looked as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, she had a playful thought in his heart, she called out his name, and when he looked up, she shone the beam of light into his eyes.

Li Mang was clearly startled and very quickly shielded his eyes with his hand and confiscated the flashlight when he arrived in front of her. Seeing her laugh, he extended his hand and pinched her face, somewhat helpless against her.
